Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 507

"Si, Brother Fifth, did you ask Brother Fifth to write the above form?"

In Li Mingda's room in the five-toothed ship, Li Zhi looked at Li Mingda very angrily and questioned him.

"What's the matter. I begged Fifth Brother to write it, shouldn't it be. After all, the crown prince is our real brother. Fifth brother now has the right to submit a statement. Of course I asked Fifth Brother to help the prince." Li Mingda curled his lips a little bit aggrieved.

But Li Zhi shouted angrily, "You know, that's treason!"

"What's wrong with treason!" Li Mingda's little eyes turned red, "Ninth Brother, even if the prince is treasonous, he is still our elder brother. Don't we just watch the prince be beheaded?"

"We can intercede." Li Zhi said bitterly: "But you can't let Fifth Brother intercede. In this rebellion, Fifth Brother's uncle was also involved. Father is already very angry. What do you think bro.

Now that you have asked Fifth Brother to write such a statement that he will do his best to protect the crown prince, if the emperor gets angry, don't you worry that Fifth Brother will be implicated by the crown prince's affairs? "

For a moment, he directly called Li Mingda stupid on the spot, indeed. Li Mingda took it for granted, she was only worried about the prince's safety, but Li Mingda forgot that Li You was different from them, Li You was a bastard son, not a legitimate son.

And the prince is charged with treason.

"Law of the Tang Dynasty" stipulates: Whoever conspires against or seeks great rebellion shall be executed regardless of his head and followers; his father and sons over the age of 16 shall be strangled; wives and concubines and sons under the age of 15, as well as wives and concubines of mothers, daughters, sons, grandchildren, Grandfathers, brothers and sisters are all enlisted as servants; the trilogy, servants, assets, and farm houses in the family are all out of office; uncles, uncles, and nephews, regardless of whether they live together or not, live three thousand miles away.

Even a mere attempt without actual execution is still punishable by hanging.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was further aggravated that all those who participated in the rebellion were executed Ling Chi, and all male relatives who were over 16 years old within the great merit were executed.

After Li Mingda thought about the punishment for treason, his face also turned pale.

She looked at Li Zhi slightly and said, "Ninth brother, I just want to save the prince."

"Yes, you want to save the prince, but you shouldn't cry to the fifth brother, let the fifth brother write a letter to help the prince, son. If something happens to the fifth brother, I will never forgive you in my life." Li Zhi said very decisive.

Last night, after Li Zhi watched Li You's appearance, he had a premonition that something was wrong.

历朝历代，谋反那是十恶不赦的大罪，什么叫十恶不赦，其实在隋朝的时候，有十种罪是不可赦的罪名：1：谋反、2：谋大逆、3：谋叛、4：恶逆、5：不道、6：大不敬、7：不孝、8：不睦、9：不义、10：内乱。

"Ten evils" was originally a term in Buddhism, which refers to ten kinds of evil karma that should lead to the "three evil ways" of hell, hungry ghosts and animals, so it is also called "ten evil karma".

In the Southern Dynasty Liang Wudi's "Banjiurouwen", it is said: "Those who do ten evils will receive evil rewards; those who do ten good things will receive good rewards." In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was developed into an ancient feudal criminal law system. The ten major crimes stipulated by the law first appeared in the Northern Qi Dynasty 300 years ago.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the content of these ten major crimes was slightly added or deleted, and they were officially named "Ten Evils" and written at the front of the code to show their seriousness.

And treason is the top ten evils. Li Zhi is now very dependent on Li You. We all know that Li Zhi has been cowardly since he was a child, and he likes to rely on others. Governance is no longer dependent.

These brothers around him laughed at themselves for not having enough time, how could anyone make them depend on them, the father was too busy, and there was no time for Li Zhi to depend on them.

Sizi is too young, it would be good to not rely on him, so Li Zhi has always been a person who has lost his dependence. Fortunately, this year, Li Zhi finally found his own dependence.

That person is Li You. Originally, Li Zhi didn't have a good impression of Li You, but under Si Zi's first contact, Li Zhi began to rely more and more on Li You. This dependence slowly penetrated into his body, which made Li Zhi very happy.

Li Zhi has regarded Li You as his most important person, so Li Zhi doesn't want Li You to have a little thing.

"Wow!" After Li Zhi finished speaking, Li Mingda cried loudly. This cry immediately attracted everyone's attention. Li You was the first to come over. However, after Li You came over, he saw It was Li Mingda crying, and Li Zhi's eyes were red.

Later, Quan Zhixi, Shao Yiyi, and Cui Xiuniang also came together.

Li You asked what happened, and after Li Mingda told everything intermittently, Li You looked at the wronged Li Mingda and the angry Li Zhi, and suddenly felt an unprecedented happiness, saying Really, Li You felt very happy to be able to experience such a heartfelt family affection in ancient times.

Hugging the two little guys in his arms at once, Li You smiled endlessly, but then Li You also told Li Zhi that there is no need to worry too much, and Li You also asked Li You to speak well of the prince if he had the opportunity, If Li Shimin asked Li Zhi whether to kill Li Chengqian, he must say no.

Li Zhi also remembered Li You's words in his heart.

No one thought that Li Zhi remembered Li You's words and gave him the greatest chance to ascend to the throne of God. It was really unexpected.

A few days later, Li You returned to Chang'an first, and Li Shimin arrived in a day or two. Li You sent Xu Hui to the palace now, and after that, Li You went to the East Palace immediately.

Knowing that Li Chengqian was imprisoned in the East Palace, Li You didn't even go back to Dunhuafang, and went directly to the East Palace. At this time, the East Palace was guarded by Baiqi, and Li You's arrival made Baiqi a little embarrassed.

Li You wanted to enter the East Palace, but this East Palace had been ordered by Li Shimin, and no one could enter. Li You stood in front of the East Palace gate, said all the good things, put down his figure, and begged one by one.

It's just that those hundred riders didn't dare, and finally Fang Xuanling came over.

"Fang Xiang.!" After seeing Fang Xuanling, Li You quickly bowed very politely.

Fang Xuanling immediately pulled Li You aside and said, "You know why you came here, everyone is wishing to be as far away from the East Palace as possible, yet you still come here.

You know, your uncle Yin Hongzhi was also arrested, and you might still be in trouble. "

Fang Xuanling actually had a good impression of Li You, and his eldest son was on Li You's side, so Fang Xuanling still didn't want Li You to get into trouble in this incident.

"Thank you, Fang Xuanling!" Li You quickly thanked Fang Xuanling for taking care of him.

"Hey." With a sigh, Fang Xuanling pulled Li You to his side again and said, "Don't thank me, let's go, this is a place of right and wrong, don't come here again."

It just surprised Fang Xuanling, but Li You didn't leave. Instead, he begged again: "Mr. Fang, I can't leave. I want to go to the East Palace to meet the crown prince. He is my brother after all. I don't want the crown prince to die." !"

"You?" Fang Xuanling said a little speechlessly: "Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will turn you and the crown prince into a party?"

Li You smiled slightly in his heart, of course Li You is not afraid, because Li You is a person who knows the history, he is very clear about Li Shimin's reluctance for his son, why Li Shimin has not returned to Chang'an until now, in fact, he is thinking of countermeasures on the road , hoping to save his eldest son.

But the crime of treason is really too difficult to protect, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak out, because it was hard to say, who would dare to guess what the emperor meant, and who would have thought that the emperor did not want to kill the rebellious prince.

However, Li You is different, Li You is a man from the future, he has golden fingers, so as long as Li You gets in touch with the prince now, Li Shimin will look up to Li You in the future, so Li You is not worried.

"Fang Xiang. The crown prince and I are brothers. My father once said that no matter what happens between brothers, we must hold each other tightly. I know that treason is a heinous crime, but it is mine. Brother, I want to give it a try, so I ask Fang Xiang to help me once, I want to meet the prince.

Maybe I can really save my brother's life, please. "

After speaking, Li You bowed to the Prime Minister with a very sincere attitude. Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Okay, you can go in. However, you must be mentally prepared, because today's matter, the minister will Report it to His Majesty, if His Majesty thinks too much, you will be finished."

"Thank you!" Li You bowed gratefully, and walked into the East Palace without looking back.

Looking at Li You's background, Fang Xuanling was speechless for a while: "Are you saying you are good, or are you stupid? How did the crown prince treat you in the past? You need to do this. This is treason!"

Entering the East Palace, compared with the past, the East Palace seems to be covered with a layer of atmosphere, this atmosphere is very desolate, decadent, and just a few days, the gorgeous East Palace seems to have been ruined a lot.

Li You didn't see the little servant along the way, but fortunately, when he was approaching Li Chengqian's bedroom, Li You saw a little maid, and Li You quickly asked where all the people in the East Palace had gone.

The little maid told Li You that everyone had run away, and now there were less than ten people left. Li You sighed slightly, and then asked Li Chengqian's location again. The little palace lady told Li You that Li Chengqian was no longer in the bedroom. Li Chengqian lived next to Xinxin's tombstone and has always lived there.

After Li You asked clearly about the location of Xinxin's tombstone, he hurried over. After walking for about 10 minutes, Li You saw a small room next to a palace, and then saw a limping man A man is weeding nearby.

Li You was surprised and shouted, "His Royal Highness?"

When the weeder turned his head, Li You didn't see a trace of loneliness on this man's face, but instead saw a kind of relieved happiness.

"Fifth brother, why are you here?" Li Chengqian laughed haha, then put down his work and walked towards Li You.
