Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen's words stunned Li Chengqian.

And when Li Shen mentioned the second point, Li Shimin's eyelids also jumped twice.

In fact, Li Shen had a third point that he didn't mention. Zhang Liang's conversation with the alchemist showed that Zhang Liang had a disobedient heart.

Just for this reason, Zhang Liang cannot escape the death penalty.

"Gao Ming, can you hear me clearly? If I want to kill him, I won't kill him recklessly. Zhang Liang already has a disobedient heart." Li Shimin said Li Shen's third point.

"But Aye, after all, Zhang Liang is also the founding minister of the country, and now he wants to kill Zhang Liang just for the slightest suspicion. This is a bit unkind.

Er begged Aye to spare Zhang Liang's life, deprive him of his title, demote him to a commoner, and let him take care of himself. "Li Chengqian pleaded.

Li Shimin smiled and said nothing. He knew that Li Shen could not have come all the way back just to agree to kill Zhang Liang.

He knew this treacherous son very well, and he must have some back-up plan. How could he bring trouble to the prince if his elder brother brought him back?

He just looked at Li Shen, meaning please start your performance.

Li Shen originally thought that there was a flatterer who could give him a compliment, but who knew that his father was not fooled at all.

So I had no choice but to say directly:

"Brother, don't worry, I still have something to say.

Zhang Liang did deserve to die, but Aye'er felt that there was something fishy here. "

"Weird?" Li Shimin was stunned. He thought Li Shen could say something.

"Aye, Liu Ji's case has just ended. How long ago, someone sued Zhang Liang again. Aye, I asked on the way back.

The person who made the report was named Chang Dexuan. Wang Xuance didn't know who this Chang Dexuan was and why he dared to report Zhang Liang.

Aye, if you think about it carefully, Chang Dexuan is just an amateur. How dare he dare to report to Duke Yun and the Minister of Punishment?

Aye, don't you think it's strange?

Zhang Liang was born in commoner's clothing and was incompetent in literature and martial arts, but he was able to occupy a high position. This shows that Zhang Liang still has merit.

Moreover, I heard that wherever he went, he was governed very well.

In particular, wherever he went, he was able to suppress the local powerful forces and stabilize the prefectures and counties so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment.

Everywhere he goes, he can find out who is harming the village, who is doing evil and oppressing the people,

He can find them all one by one and catch them all.

Some people in Aye believed that Zhang Liang was like a god, but Dan'er felt that this must be related to his adoption of an adopted son.

Otherwise, how can one master a place? "

Li Shen talked a lot, making both Li Shimin and Li Chengqian think deeply.

Li Shen's words are not nonsense, they are all well-founded. In fact, Zhang Liang's adopted son is five hundred, how could Li Shimin not know about it.

It's just that Li Shimin didn't say anything.

Li Shimin was not thinking about Zhang Liang. He was thinking about the strange things Li Shen said.

Liu Ji had just been falsely accused, and now it was Zhang Liang's turn. Zhang Liang's crime was actually a big one, but a small one.

He was just angry these days because Zhang Liang asked Gongsun Chang: I have a concubine, and the fortune teller said that she will definitely become a queen.

This is obviously a treasonous statement. His concubine is Wang Ji, so doesn’t Zhang Liang want to be the emperor?

But now that I think about it carefully, although this sentence is rebellious, it is still unclear whether it is true or false.

The person who made the report, Chang Dexuan, was indeed a nobody. How could he dare to report a prince?

Seeing the change in Li Shimin's face, Li Shen guessed that there was something going on, and took the opportunity to continue:

"Aye, I think it doesn't matter whether Zhang Liang rebels or not. He already has a disobedient heart.

But after all, he can be regarded as a founding hero. Aye might as well spare his life, revoke his title, and let him live a long life.

Besides, after being the prince for so many years, the eldest brother has his own opinions for the first time, and it is also the first time he pleads with Aye.

I think Aye should give his eldest brother this face. "

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, and it was true that Li Chengqian had never disobeyed him in these years.

This was the first time that Li Chengqian had an idea of ​​his own. After thinking about it, Li Shimin nodded.

It doesn't actually matter whether Zhang Liang is killed or not.

Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian:

"Gao Ming, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Chengqian organized his thoughts. He knew that his answer was important.

"Reporting to Aye, Zhang Liang has always been loyal to Aye and regarded him as a confidant. Back then, under the coercion and inducement of Prince Yin, Zhang Liang never betrayed Aye.

Why does he want to rebel now?

Moreover, Aye treated him well. With mediocre qualifications, he was able to occupy a high position. He was a high-ranking official with generous salary and fine clothing and food.

There was no unfair treatment to him, so why did he rebel?

Therefore, Er felt that this matter was completely false, and Zhang Liang did not have the strength to rebel. "

Li Shimin nodded after listening to the prince's words. He agreed with Li Chengqian's analysis. There was indeed something fishy about it.

Since the prince wanted to save Zhang Liang’s life, let’s just follow the prince’s wishes, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, if you think so, then according to your wishes, let him live, remove his title, and demote him to a commoner."

"Thank you Aye for your kindness." Li Chengqian thanked him happily.

"Thank you Aye, I actually think that since my elder brother saved Zhang Liang, he might be able to use it in the future." Li Shen also said.

"That's a smart thing from now on, and I won't be able to control it."

When everything was over, Li Chengqian and Li Shen exited the Liangyi Palace.

Li Chengqian patted Li Shen on the shoulder and said:

"Tenth brother, thank you very much."

"Haha, what are you talking about, brother? We are brothers. This time Zhang Liang escaped from death, he must be grateful to brother.

Coupled with his son Zhang Wei, the eldest brother will have two more available people in the future. "Li Shen laughed.

"Zhang Wei can be used, but Zhang Liang will talk about it later. He is indeed a bit dark." Li Chengqian shook his head.

"That's your business, brother. The matter here is over and I'm going back to the northwest.

Brother, let's go to the prison to see Zhang Liang first. We must let him know that it was brother who saved him, otherwise this favor will not be in vain. "

After Li Shen finished speaking, Li Chengqian nodded, and the two of them went to the Penal Department Prison together.

"I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty and I will never have any second thoughts. They framed me."

As soon as the two of them arrived at the Penal Department Prison, they heard Zhang Liang shouting inside,

Zhang Liang saw Li Chengqian and Li Shen as if seeing a life-saving straw, and shouted:

"Your Highness, please save this old minister. I have no intention of treason. I am loyal to Your Majesty."

At this moment, Zhang Liang was no longer as high-spirited as usual. He had been detained here for so many days and suffered both physical and psychological torture.

He didn't know when he would be found guilty and executed.

Under the double torture, the man obviously lost weight twice, his face was full of beard and his hair was unkempt.

In the past few days in prison, he began to reflect on the past and regretted many things.

He should have told His Majesty about recruiting an adopted son, and he should have stopped his wife from being a secret sorcerer. He should not be so coddled.

I regret it.

(For this Chang Dexuan, I checked a lot of information, but there is no record of this person. This name was only mentioned when Zhang Liang died unjustly.

Tongdian, there is no information about this person in the old and new Tang books, only that he was from Shaanzhou

It stands to reason that he should be rewarded for reporting Zhang Liang's rebellion, or he should be promoted to a noble title, but there is no record of even a reward.

And it is true that Zhang Liang's turn came only three months after Liu Ji's unjust death. There are unknown truths behind history.

Personally, I feel that Zhang Liang died unjustly. Li Yuanji framed Zhang Liang and sent him to prison. He tortured him, used coercion and inducement, and wanted to obtain evidence of Li Shimin's crime, which led to Li Shimin's death.

Zhang Liang didn't say a word after entering the prison and carried it over forcefully. This shows his loyalty to Li Shimin. )
