Chapter 44 The persistence of the little princess!
In the morning court, Emperor Li Teng was furious and threw the account books on the ground:
"This is the officials you chose for me! They are all hypocritical on the surface, but they are beasts behind them! Such young children are actually able to do it! And! How does Jingzhao Mansion manage people? The filth is so tainted in the yards! Some people tied people, some trained them, and some sent them. These officials dared to accept them and play! They are so bold!"
Speaking of this, Li Teng swept away the officials below with his head down, and his eyes finally fell on the Minister of the Honglu Temple:
"It's okay, but what's hateful is that someone actually gave these little girls tied to those people for money. Is this bullying me too tolerant to you officials over the years? Is it bad for bullying me?
There is also the Wei family! Although this matter has little to do with the Wei family now, it happened in your yard. Are you blind? Dozens of living people! Dozens of corpses! There are so many people coming in and out every day, and you can't see them? Don't tell me that there are too many yards in your yard, you can't control it! If you really can't control it, hand it over, I will control it for you!
This time, thanks to my Princess Yongle and the second child of the Qu Tu family! It’s not them, I don’t know that there are such a traitor and evil person in Chang’an City!”
After saying that, he glanced at his ministers and said coldly:
"This matter must be investigated strictly! Now the prince Jiancheng is fully responsible for investigating the matter. All masterminds will be punished seriously! Within one month, the matter must be investigated. Anyone who commits a crime will surrender immediately and can also be investigated at the discretion of the matter. If it is found out, it will be punished strictly!"
The prince Jiancheng bowed and accepted the order.
"If you have any problems, please ask Duke Song more!"
Li Teng gave another order, glared at Jingzhao Yin and Shao Yin, and left with a fierce look.
Prince Li Jiancheng stepped forward, picked up the account book, patted the dust that did not exist on it, sighed, turned around and said to the ministers:
"Let's go! This incident caused the emperor's anger, and no one should think of pleading for mercy - especially Jingzhao Mansion. This matter could be resolved quickly, but you are just for the sake of love. Now, you think you can protect your colleagues and subordinates, but you don't know how serious this matter is? Reflect on it carefully! My Tang Dynasty was decided to establish the country, and the people are at ease. Do you do this to force the people to rebel again?"
Although the voice was not high, the words were very heavy, which made cold sweat appear among the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture - Prince Su Wen was generous, but he didn't know that he was so imposing when he got angry!
In the palace, Li Shimin was yelling at Li Ziyan and was angry:
"Zi Yan! How could you just hand over the account book to your father? Don't you know how much this matter involves? If you really investigate, how many officials will be killed? How many families will be destroyed? Even the Wei family cannot escape this time. Have you ever thought about it? Now that the country is in its prime, it is urgent to be stable. The five surnames and seven hopes have not yet returned to their hearts. You are now inciting the Wei family again, which will inevitably cause trouble. Why don't you think about taking the overall situation into consideration?"
Li Ziyan looked at her elder brother with some disbelief. She had always been proud of Li Shimin!
Before the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Shimin showed his military talent and strategy. He led the army to win many victories, collected many generals, and even made the name of Tiance Mansion!
It can be said that almost half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty was fought by Li Shimin.
Therefore, Li Ziyan’s feelings for Li Shimin are not only the sister’s affection for her brother, but also the kind of respect for heroes. In her mind, Li Shimin is a great hero!
However, what Li Shimin said just now shocked her and unexpectedly: Unexpectedly, in Li Shimin's eyes, the so-called overall situation is the recognition of the people of the Five Clans and Seven Hopes for the Tang Dynasty.
But what about ordinary people?
When Li Shimin saw Li Ziyan's reaction, he knew that she was dissatisfied. He sighed and continued patiently:
"As for those tied and dead girls, as long as they give them more compensation, their families will agree - this should be the best result for the people struggling on the line of life and death!"
At this moment, Li Ziyan felt that her brother was getting more and more unfamiliar!
He actually said that to ordinary people!
In his eyes, the people are just a big deal, and the overall situation is a family like the five surnames and Qi Wang?
Did he forget how the previous dynasty perished?
Li Ziyan took a step back and looked at Li Shimin in disbelief!
Li Shimin was still ready to continue talking, but he found that his sister looked into her eyes and looked very strange and far away!
"Zi Yan, what's wrong with you?"
Li Shimin was still very concerned about his little sister, so he immediately stopped preaching and asked with concern.
Li Ziyan mustered up the courage, looked at Li Shimin, and said solemnly:
"Second brother! Even if it happens again, I will hand over the account book to my father! This is not a trivial matter - in my opinion, this is the overall situation! You were not there and did not see that scene! Dozens of girls, children, unclothed clothes, and even bruised all over the body, were tied up! Dozens of corpses were also raised from that yard! And the officials who were concerned about the overall situation in your mouth were drinking and having fun on the corpses, and letting the tied girls accompany them. If you disobey, you would torture them!
If you are not present, you can't imagine the despair of those girls - some people can't even die!
Yes! You said that a thorough investigation of this matter will cause many families to be destroyed, then do you know? Just because of them, many families have already been destroyed! Those officials are human beings, are these people not human beings? Don’t forget how the previous dynasty perished!”
Li Shimin opened his mouth and stared at his little sister with a righteous complaint.
This is a side he has never seen before!
Unexpectedly, the little sister actually had this kind of insight - suddenly, from the perspective of brothers and sisters, Li Shimin was a little relieved - but this kind of insight, in Li Shimin's opinion, was a bit too much of the Virgin!
The royal family itself is superior, and it is indeed necessary to pay attention to the people, but the people are the cornerstone and there will be no accidents at will. Like the previous dynasty's tyrants and levies, Li Shimin believed that this dynasty would not happen.
However, looking at my sister's expression, Li Shimin didn't say anything at all.
If it is so cold, it is really not suitable to tell my sister.
At this time, Prince Li Jiancheng came over and said softly to Li Ziyan:
"Yongle, you did the right thing! I support you! If you don't even care about the lives of the people and only pay attention to the famous families of the five surnames and seven hopes, you will sooner or later not see the sufferings of the people. In that case, what's the difference between it and the previous dynasty?"
After saying that, without waiting for Li Shimin to react, he held Li Ziyan's hand and said:
"Let's go, Zi Yan, go to my place. The father has handed me over the task of thoroughly investigating this matter. I will listen carefully to your opinion!"
