Chapter 2146 Beating
The King of Han pondered for a while and then apologized: "It is a minor minister who has neglected his duty. I will send someone to send King Jing to Zongzheng Temple to punish him."
His Majesty Li Er hummed, without commenting, but simply said: "As a member of the royal family, you should set an example and be respected by the world. If you cannot cultivate your moral integrity and uprightness, but your eyes cannot be measured, the harm will be even greater than that of a trafficker and a pawn!"
He pointed at his two sons, King Shu and King Jiang, and said meaningfully: "Such scoundrels should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
Li Min, the king of Shu, had no expression on his face, but Li Yun, the king of Jiang, cried out sadly, "Father, I know I was wrong, please spare me!"
His Majesty Li Er looked at him, expressionless, and turned to leave.
All the officials in Zongzheng Temple bowed their heads to see the emperor off.
When the emperor walked out of the gate surrounded by a large group of guards, King Han and the officials breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and looked at the two brothers Li Min and Li Yun.
Li Yun's heart trembled, and he cried out sadly: "Uncle Han Wang, we can't fight anymore, someone will be killed!"
He has been pampered since he was a child. Although he is not favored by his father, because he is timid and cowardly, he is always very measured even if he gets into trouble. He either finds the person to take the blame in advance or is on the verge of his father's wrath. He can save the day every time. , escaped successfully.
This is the first time in his life that he has been punished so severely.
Li Min shouted: "Shut up! It's useless, it's just a few whips, can it kill you?"
Li Yun cried: "I will, I will! If I continue to smoke, my life will be gone..."
At this moment, he only felt that the pain in his back and buttocks had become numb. When he touched it with his hand, blood dripped. He did not know that it was just a skin injury. It would heal after scabbing for a few days. He was so frightened that he thought he was about to die...< br>
Li Min: "..."
Is this a descendant of my Li Tang royal family?
He is just a boneless coward, a disgrace to the royal family!
However, King Han just glanced at Li Yun and ordered the people around him: "Go to Prince Jing's Mansion immediately and ask Prince Jing to come to Zongzheng Temple. Tell him that I have been ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of the trouble on Zhuque Street today and deal with it as appropriate. Anyone can Do not disobey. If the summons fails, you will bear the consequences.”
"Here!"
At that moment, several officials quickly walked out of the gate, mounted their horses, and went straight to Prince Jing's Mansion.
King Han then turned around and entered the main hall with his hands behind his back.
The two brothers were left hanging here without further execution or being released back home...
Li Yun moved, feeling a heartbreaking pain in his back and hip. He grinned and wanted to scream. He turned around and saw Li Min staring at him eagerly, threatening to beat him up if he dared to speak out. With a look on his face, he quickly closed his mouth, but his face inevitably twitched...
"Hey...Sixth brother, don't you need to use the remaining whips?"
Li Yun was in unbearable pain and had to talk to divert his attention.
"Hmph, I want to be beautiful! I can only beat you harder later..."
Li Min simply rested his chin on the back of his hand and said in a low voice.
The father's intention was very obvious just now. The two brothers were the same chickens used to scare the monkeys. The only difference was that they didn't need to kill the two chickens. They only needed to give them a good beating and set an example. Just come...
"Ah!"
Li Yun cried out sadly, with a sad look on his face.
Not long after waiting, they heard the sound of footsteps at the door. The two brothers turned around and saw the majestic Jing King Li Yuanjing striding away, wearing a purple silk prince robe, a jade belt hook hanging from his waist, and a virtuous crown on his head. In hospital.
At the same time, Duan Yan and another official who were standing next to him raised their black-tipped whips high and whipped them hard.
"Crack!"
"Ouch——"
As soon as he entered the yard, Li Yuanjing heard a shrill scream, his heart skipped a beat, and when he looked carefully, he saw King Shu and King Jiang being pressed on long stools and being tortured. The whips crackled and Jiang was tortured. Wang Liyun's screams were earth-shattering.
His eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Li Yuanjing glanced at it silently before walking straight towards the main hall.
After entering the main hall, he stood still, bowed slightly, and greeted King Han in the hall: "I have met King Han."
Among Gaozu Li Yuan's sons, Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi King Li Yuanji were all executed in the "Xuanwumen Incident" in the ninth year of Wude. King Huai of Wei Li Xuanba died of illness in the tenth year of Daye. King Ai of Chu Li Zhiyun died in Gaozu's ninth year. When the army was launched, he was arrested by the officials of the Sui Dynasty and sent to Chang'an, where he was later killed by Yin Shishi.
Therefore, apart from His Majesty Li Er who is the emperor, King Jing Li Yuanjing is the longest among his peers.
His status is extremely noble.
But even so, in the Zongzheng Temple Yamen, you must abide by the laws and etiquette. Here, Zongzhengqing is respected by the King of Han. Such careless neglect of etiquette made the King of Han quite dissatisfied...
However, in recent days, it was obvious that he wanted to offend the king brother to the end, and King Han did not care about such a little courtesy.
With a slight smile, King Han nodded and said: "Brother Sixth Prince, you are polite... His Majesty just arrived here and severely reprimanded the two princes. He told us that the scoundrels who harmed the reputation of the royal family will be severely punished, and ordered me to investigate today's Suzaku." What happened on the street will be dealt with to protect the reputation of the royal family. Brother Liu is the person involved. However, only two princes in the main temple surrendered and confessed their crimes and were punished here. Therefore, I ordered people to go and invite the six brothers to come over and confront each other to clarify the matter. The punishments that should be punished and the orders that should be reprimanded must be in accordance with the clan laws. The purpose of coming here is only for the supreme honor of the royal family. I hope Brother Six will understand.”
Li Yuanjing's eyelids kept twitching.
Only the two princes turned themselves in and confessed and were willing to be punished. However, the client, Prince Jing, hid in his palace and stayed out of the matter, not caring about the reputation of the royal family... The implications behind these words were enough for Li Yuanjing to ponder.
Are you going to be accused of "ignoring the overall situation and disregarding the overall situation"?
After pondering for a while, Li Yuanjing said: "What happened today was caused by my suddenness. I thought they were just two singers. How could King Wu not give a gift to me because he was so generous? So I was anxious for a moment. Of course, Shu failed to go to the King of Wu to ask for it first. Wang and Jiang Wang did nothing wrong. There is nothing wrong with safeguarding the interests of their brothers. After all, my uncle is not as good as my brother... So even if the two nephews have no respect for their elders, I will not pursue them. "< br>
King Han smiled slightly.
These words may seem grand, but are they actually true?
Throwing all the charges to King Shu and King Jiang...
They are just two singers, but the King of Shu and the King of Jiang refused to give in and shouted to kill each other. This is a lack of understanding of the general situation. They protect the interests of their brothers but offend their uncle. This is a disrespect for their elders and may even divide the royal family and form cliques. This caused the reputation of the royal family to be damaged, and it ignored the overall situation...
King Han understood that King Jing did not think he was guilty of any crime.
Even if there is, I don’t recognize it.
The punishment outside had been carried out, and Li Yun's howling and screaming like killing a pig finally fell silent. Duan Yan, the executioner, went inside to report. King Han waved his hand and ordered him to stand aside. Then he looked at King Jing and said: " There are so many witnesses to what happened today, but we can always investigate clearly. Of course, I am just Zong Zhengqing and have no authority or responsibility to investigate the case. If the Sixth Brother thinks that he is innocent, then I will only report the case to His Majesty and ask the "Baiqisi" to send someone to investigate the case. , when the time comes, I will restore Brother Liu Wang’s innocence.”
By the end of the sentence, his face was gloomy and his tone was getting harsher.
Do you want to deny everything in front of me and let me try to make His Majesty dissatisfied to protect you?
dream!
What kind of king is the longest among all the kings? He is just a prince without roots and foundation born from a concubine! Just because you were born a few years earlier, you arrogantly put on the airs of an older brother in front of me?
Pooh!
Her mother was from the Yuwen family, and King Han, who was backed by the entire Guanlong aristocratic group, would not take King Jing seriously.
You respect me a foot, and I will give you a foot in return.
But if you make it difficult for me and prevent me from handling the errands assigned by His Majesty, then don’t blame me for being rude...
When King Jing heard the name "Baiqisi", his expression suddenly changed.
As a child of the royal family, how could he not know the reputation of "Hundred Cavalry Division"? This group of children from the Zixun noble family are infinitely loyal to the emperor and will fight to the death. Anyone or anything that may endanger the stability of the imperial power is their goal to eradicate with all their strength.
Especially the ability of these eagle and dog minions to dig three feet into the ground is even more daunting.
Even if you peed the bed when you were three or five years old, took out a bird when you were seven or eight, or slept with that maid when you were a teenager... As long as they want to check, there is nothing they can't find out.
Even if you can't find out, there is still a way to pin the crime on your head...
How dare Li Yuanjing let "Baiqisi" intervene?
He keeps friends with powerful officials, accepts bribes, and raises private soldiers all year round... Once this is found out, what else can he do? (End of chapter)
