Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin's words dispelled other people's suspicions. It was indeed as Li Shimin said. Although King Ji usually did not do things around the edges,

But there were no mistakes in politics.

However, the things in the memorial did make them a little appalling, mainly because it involved a founding hero, Guangdu Gongdang Renhong.

However, the final outcome of this matter is somewhat unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, I have objections to this matter." It was Ma Zhou who spoke.

"Ai Qing, what's your objection?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, most of Dang Renhong's gang members in this matter are evil-doers and heinous criminals. But why did King Ji only sentence Dang Renhong to be exiled to Rongzhou in the end?

And why when Dang Renhong ransacked his home, he only had more than [-] yuan in money. Most of this comes from his salary and family property.

I thought that King Ji was harboring Dang Renhong. "

Ma Zhou is no ordinary person now. In the 18th year of Zhenguan, which was August 26 last year, Ma Zhou was promoted to Zhongshu Ling, and he still served as the crown prince's right concubine.

After Ma Zhou held two positions in the imperial palace and the East Palace,

Because Li Shimin now leaves most of the government affairs to the prince, he ordered Ma Zhou, Gao Shilian, and Liu Ji to assist the prince.

Zhongshu Ling, the top leader of Zhongshu Province, has a high and powerful position, which is the position of prime minister. If he raises objections, Li Shimin will of course take it seriously.

But others don't think so. You, Ma Zhou, are really new here, how dare you question King Ji?

It is possible for you to be bagged and beaten on the way home in the afternoon.

King Ji's lawlessness has been famous in the capital for the past ten years.

Li Shimin's method of using dandies to govern dandies worked so well. You know how scary King Ji is.

He is domineering all day long but does not oppress the people, he has rare things to live in but does not compete with the people for profit, he is greedy but does not exploit the people, he is extravagant but he is willing to do good and charity.

Do not fight for power, do not form parties for personal gain, do not participate in government affairs, do not fight for fame and gain.

Just from the fact that the noble family members were unable to attack King Ji, we can see how difficult King Ji was to deal with.

Making some minor mistakes would only result in a ban, and the most serious crime of deceiving the emperor would only result in a slap in the face.

The old ministers were all silent and waiting to see what happened. Only the new rising stars were filled with indignation.

"Your Majesty, I think what Ma Zhongshu said is reasonable. I also feel that the punishment for Dang Renhong's case is a little too light, or that there are some things that have not been investigated clearly.

Dang Renhong's henchmen have behaved so evilly, let alone him, the leader of the thieves? Cen Wenwen agreed with Ma Zhou and said.

Li Shimin did not answer this question, but said to Wang De:

"Go and tell the prince to come here."

Everyone knew that Li Shimin was going to call the prince to teach him by words and deeds, so they were not in a hurry to wait for Li Chengqian.

Soon Li Chengqian arrived.

"I have met Aye."

"Well, come up here and sit aside and listen." Li Shimin nodded.

"Yes." Li Chengqian walked to Li Shimin, Wang De handed over a chair, and then showed Wang Xuance's memorial to Li Chengqian for viewing.

So that Li Chengqian can understand what the situation is now.

"Ma Aiqing, you have objections to the treatment of Dang Renhong in King Ji's memorial, but according to the evidence of crime mentioned in the memorial, how should he be sentenced according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin asked why he sent Li Shen to do this. The first reason was that Li Shen knew the news and others did not.

The second is that he knows his son's ability, his ability to cheat and cheat, and his ability to handle money, and he will definitely do it flawlessly.

He was an expert in deceiving and abducting his son.

Ma Zhou thought about it after hearing Li Shimin's question. He was familiar with the law, so of course he knew how to judge. So he nodded and said:

"Back to Your Majesty, as the memorial said, according to the law of Tang Dynasty, it is as judged by King Ji."

"Then what do you suspect?" Li Shimin's voice was filled with authority.

Of course Li Shimin was angry that you, Ma Zhou, actually wanted to overturn what he wanted to do.

Ma Zhou also heard that Li Shimin was a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, I doubt whether King Ji has investigated clearly why Dang Renhong embezzled and owed money like his subordinates.

King Ji did not find out whether Dang Renhong had other crimes. "Ma Zhou is a relatively upright person.

"Are you suspecting that King Ji was corrupt, perverting the law, accepting bribes, and helping Dang Renhong escape guilt?

Or do you suspect that King Ji has an old relationship with Dang Renhong and is bending the law for personal gain? "

Li Shimin asked seriously, which of these two can cure Li Shen's crime.

Ma Zhou was stunned by this question and didn't know how to answer. Cen Wenwen stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, Prince Ji is young and it is understandable that he did something wrong. However, Dang Renhong is the leader of the thieves and his crime is indeed a bit light.

I think we should send someone to verify the reconciliation. "

"Huh, didn't I already say that in the memorial of the tenth brother? His men all used the name of Dang Renhong to do evil things.

In fact, Dang Renhong just accepted bribes and committed the crimes of bribery and negligence.

If he were an ordinary official, he might need to be hanged, but Dang Renhong is the Duke of the country, and according to the law, he must be extinguished first, so there is nothing wrong with the sentence of the tenth brother. "

Li Chengqian, who was next to Li Shimin, snorted coldly, fighting brothers, father and son soldiers in battle, now they have both, how could Li Chengqian sit idly by and ignore them.

Li Chengqian has had the shadow of some superiors in recent years, and coupled with Li Shimin's words and deeds, he has been completely transformed.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, why not send someone to investigate, so that you can stop Yunyun's mouth."

Gao Shilian, who had been silent until now, stood up and said that he was the crown prince and tutor, and would be the emperor's master in the future.

"I also think we should investigate. This will also prevent outsiders from suspecting His Highness Prince Ji." Yang Shidao stood up and agreed.

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

Liu Jie, Zhang Xingcheng, Gao Jifu, Wang Wendu, Xu Jingzong and others all stood up to echo.

These people are all rising stars, each holding high positions of power.

"Your Majesty, there is another box in the messenger."

While everyone was waiting for Li Shimin's reply, Wang De broke the atmosphere and said.

"Box, what box?" Li Shimin was confused.

Wang De handed it over and Li Shimin opened it. Inside was a thick stack of paper.

Li Shimin took out one and unfolded it. It was a confession, and the title was Ma Wei, Dang Renhong's crony.

It was written that all the actions were done by himself and others without telling Dang Renhong.

Sometimes the money obtained from the exploitation would be given to Dang Renhong bit by bit, but Dang Renhong had no knowledge of their affairs, etc.

Li Shimin put down his confession and took out another one. The one written by Zhang Hu was similar to the one written by Ma Wei.

Li Chengqian also stepped forward to watch. He was much bolder than before and was not as reserved in front of Li Shimin as before.

"Slave dog, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?" Li Shimin scolded Wang De angrily.

"I deserve to die, I was wrong." Wang De quickly confessed.
