202 Disposal of Prince Edward
Nangongyi didn't speak, but watched Li You drink water, and waited for his information. After drinking the water in the glass, Li You said: "Don't look at the prince in his thirties. In my eyes, he is not as good as a man with a weak crown. It seems that his prince of more than 20 years is really worthless. , It’s just that the lesson this time is a bit big. He is dead, and I will let Su Yang work harder to get some merits from him.”
"A Lang, in this matter, you are really sure that the prince will be killed. If he is fine, you are not afraid of falling into the ground like this and really killing him?"
"He can't live. Who will let him have some black assassins? They are too powerful. Even if the emperor spares him, the courtiers and Concubine Wu Hui will never spare him. When he was the weakest, he still Choosing such a counterattack, he must be ready to die."
The next day's dynasty meeting was held as scheduled. In the main hall, Li Longji walked up to the imperial step with a tired face, and slowly sat down on the dragon chair. After the ministers called and saluted, he saw his eyes swept across the court officials, his eyes were a little hazy, and many of the ministers were scared in cold sweat, and their bodies crouched unnaturally.
Last night, when the assassins assassinated the emperor, many of them did not consider escorting and protecting the emperor first, but rushed to escape. These people also understood in their hearts that their actions made the emperor angry and made the emperor grudge, so they were a little uneasy in their hearts.
This is the essence of aristocratic ministers. Seeing that the emperor’s life is in danger, the first consideration is not loyal to the emperor, but his own life safety. There are not many who can die for their masters. It is no wonder that most of the emperors believe in themselves. Eunuch.
In their eyes, the emperor was the leader of the court, and they would not mind whoever became the emperor. After all, any emperor needs the support of their noble families, and no matter who the emperor is, they still have officials. They only care about their own family interests. As for who is the emperor, it is not their real concern. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https://
Li Longji knew all these things well, that the aristocratic family was a malignant tumor to Datang, but it was extremely difficult to get rid of this malignant tumor. Moreover, if you act on the malignant tumor, you might even hurt yourself and your body. Therefore, when you treat the family, you must use it and prevent it.
Li Longji cleared his throat, and said calmly: "I guess you all know what happened last night, so let's discuss how to deal with the prince and them."
What happened last night really went beyond the expectations of the ministers. I never thought that the prince would really dare to rebel. Now the situation in the court has changed drastically, and there are two opinions on how to deal with the prince Li Ying. One side advocated the murder of the prince for the crime of treason, and the other side advocated that the prince Li Ying be demoted as a general and be banned permanently.
For the prince, Li Longji wanted to kill, although as a father, facing his own children, he was not very good at it. It’s just that such a big incident almost cost his own life. The point is that he didn’t expect that the Eagles would be so strong today. If Li Ying is not killed, both he and others will face it. Threatened.
And leaving such a factor of instability to the court will not do any good to the court. As for why it is necessary to discuss at the court meeting, this must be done. If you do not produce a result in the court hall, let it be. The courtiers talked a lot in private, and let this matter be fermented and spread among the people, which is extremely detrimental to the face of the royal family, and this can also be used to warn others to be effective.
The ministers of the two factions quarreled fiercely, chattering endlessly, and Li Longji was also upset. He wanted to agree to punish the prince, but he was not easy to talk about it. He could not let people say that he was cold-blooded, regardless of family affection, even if it was the matter. He couldn't make an decree right away for the crime of treason and death, after all, the prince was his own son.
He saw that Li Linfu was staring at the floor silently, and he asked, "Li Xiangguo, what do you think of the Prince's case?"
When Li Linfu heard Li Longji’s questioning, he stood up and said: “How to deal with the prince, this is your majesty’s family affair, you don’t have to ask outsiders, it’s up to your majesty to decide on your own, but your majesty asked, the minister has a word, then That is, you can first abolish the prince as a general, and then strictly investigate it. If there is still illegality, then no wonder your majesty."
His words were in line with Li Longji's heart and gave him a step. Therefore, he followed the flow and said, "If this is the case, then do it!"
After a pause, he glanced at the reaction of the officials below, and then spoke again: "Gorius made the decree on behalf of me, and the prince Li Ying was originally a heir to guard the ancestral temple. However, he was alienated from the righteous, close to the small group, and kind. Small evil and big, rebellious, and abolished as a common man. I was ordered by heaven to be a parent. Every life is alive and nurtured, and I am a heir to the situation. But at this point, I am deeply sighed!"
When Li Longji finished speaking of this decree, he was about to announce his resignation. Suddenly, a prince walked out of the court and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, and King Guang and King E have not dealt with their accomplices. I hope your majesty will decide. ."
After Li Longji heard this, his blood surged and his body froze unnaturally, but in the end, he still said: "As for King Guang and King E, they are demoted to common people together, and the rest will be handed over to the Criminal Ministry and Dali. The temple sent a sentence and convicted.
In Xingqing Palace and Nanxun Hall, Li Longji took the tea cup handed over by the maid, but before he put it to his mouth, he was so angry when he thought of what happened just now. The tea cup was also thrown to the ground by him all of a sudden. It was a mess.
"All came to force me, the prince forced me, the officials forced me, and now even an eighth-rank petty official is also coming to force me, so bold!"
In Li Longji's view, the prince was to be dealt with and to be killed, but King Guang and King E were really reluctant to deal with them. He really wanted to deal with the two and the prince, and he couldn't bear it. After all, these were three sons.
Gao Lishi made people hurriedly cleaned up the teacup crumbs on the ground, brought a cup of tea again, held it in front of Li Longji, and said gently: "Your Majesty, it hurts you so much, why bother with them? Drink tea to moisturize first."
Looking at the old man who was ignoring his life in front of him, Li Longji's anger instantly dissipated a lot, and he picked up his teacup and took two sips. After putting down the teacup, Li Longji said to Gao Lishi with concern: "Lishi, what's wrong with your injury, it doesn't matter, do you want me to send you a doctor to take a good look?"
Gao Lishi said lightly: "Thank your Majesty for your care, the old slave is not a big deal, it's just a minor injury, it has been wrapped up with medicine, and there is no need to trouble the imperial doctor in the palace."
For Gao Lishi, Li Longji has nothing to say. As for who is the most loyal to him in the world, it must be the person in front of him.
"Lish, today's court meeting, no matter how I look at it, how do you see it?" Li Longji asked Gao Lishi again. (End of this chapter)
