Seeing that the matter was about to end, as long as Li Shiming agreed, it would be over.
But at this moment, Fang Xuanling suddenly spoke again,""Your Majesty, the law cannot be easily abolished!"
Once the words 'can't be easily crippled' came out, everyone knew that this matter couldn't be settled peacefully. At the very least, Li Xiaogong and Chai Shao had to pay a huge price.
Li Chongyi felt that he couldn't continue watching the show. He immediately stood up and said,""Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fang is right. The law cannot be easily abolished. Otherwise, the country will not be a country. However, the crimes committed by this commoner are too numerous to be recorded. Just caning and banishment are not enough to appease the anger of the people. I beg Your Majesty to execute this commoner and hang his corpse for three days. In addition, my father's title and official position will be stripped and demoted to a commoner. Then, we will arrest all the profligate sons in Chang 'an who prey on the people and harm the villagers. They will be sentenced according to their crimes. Those who deserve to be killed, those who deserve to be banished, and those who deserve to be banished to the army will be banished. Those who do not educate their children well will be stripped of their titles and demoted. We will not tolerate them. In this way, the Tang Empire will be restored to its former glory!”
Li Chongyi's tone was a little impassioned and righteous!
In the main hall, the somewhat solemn atmosphere immediately dissipated. Everyone was holding back their laughter. Li Xiaogong, for example, could not hold it in anymore, but he could not laugh. He could only turn his head to the side and his body trembled non-stop. The others were also having a hard time.
Princess Gaoyang had already recovered and regained her lively nature. She couldn't help but laugh. Empress Zhangsun, who was at the side, quickly covered her mouth.
Fang Xuanling's expression was ugly. He had made things difficult for Li Chongyi and Ling Lingwu, but he didn't really want to do anything to them. One was the Emperor's nephew, and the other was the Emperor's cousin. They were both relatives of the Emperor.
This was a political game, a compromise and exchange. It was a very serious matter.
However, Li Chongyi was acting like a scoundrel. If he were to die, everyone would die together. Which of the silkpants in Chang 'an City didn't have dozens of cases on them? If they really investigated, no one would be able to escape. Exile and banishment were all light punishments.
If Li Xiaogong and Chai Shao acted like scoundrels like Li Chongyi, they would probably become the laughing stock of the imperial court in the future. However, Li Chongyi was young and did not have any official rank. If he acted like a scoundrel, everyone might even praise him for being 'intelligent'.
Li Shiming glanced around the hall and then looked at Li Chongyi." I was thinking about the spring plowing and was distracted. Repeat what you just said."”
"Your Majesty, I just said," Li Chongyi understood. I know I've made a big mistake. I beg Your Majesty and the Princess to forgive me and promise not to do it again!”
"Hmm? Did you just say that? I seem to have vaguely heard of the execution and hanging the corpse for three days? Did I hear wrongly?" Li Shi Min pretended to be confused.
"That's right, this commoner just said that. I'm not lying!”Li Chongyi said with certainty.
Li Shiming nodded," Mm, not bad. For the sake of you knowing your mistake…"
Just as Li Shi Min was about to brush this matter aside and give Li Chongyi and Ling Wu a symbolic punishment, Gao Yang suddenly shouted,"Father, he lied to you! He had just requested to be executed and his corpse hung for three days. Imperial Father, please agree to his request! Pfft…"
As he said that, Gao Yang couldn't help but laugh and even made a face at Li Chongyi.
Li Shiming looked at Li Chongyi with a faint smile and asked,""Oh? Did you just say that?"
"Your Majesty, the princess must have been frightened, causing her to hallucinate," Li Chongyi said with certainty.”
"I didn't hear wrongly. You just suggested that Father arrest all the hedonistic sons of Chang 'an and return the Tang Empire to its rightful place!”Gao Yang did not give up,"You dare to lie to Imperial Father, this is the crime of deceiving the sovereign!" Father, beat him up!"
Li Chongyi glared at Gao Yang from an angle that no one else could see. However, this little girl had a smug expression.
As a talent of the 21st century, how could he lose to a little girl?
Since you're looking for trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless and disgusting Fang Xuanling at the same time.
After making his decision, Li Chongyi suddenly sighed.
"Sigh! I did lie to His Majesty." Li Chongyi said in a low voice," Actually, I recognized your identity that day at the restaurant. You held an oil-paper umbrella alone and wandered in the long rainy alley. You were as colorful as a lilac, as fragrant as a lilac, as sad as a lilac, and as dreamy as a dream. Suddenly, you smiled at me, especially through the dusk and the drizzle! Eternity, instant! Instant, eternity!" Li Chongyi's recitation was not fast, but it was extremely emotional.
Princess Gaoyang was still a 13-year-old girl, so she had never heard such a long speech. Her face was already red, and she said incoherently,"I…I wasn't smiling at you that day. I was…I…I forgot. Anyway, I'm not smiling at you.”
Li Chongyi's tone was full of affection. He brought out his ability to recite love poems." You stand on the street and look at the scenery, but the people who look at the scenery are looking at you from upstairs. The bright moon has decorated your window, and you have decorated other people's dreams!”
"Mother, he's a bully!" Although Gao Yang didn't know about modern poetry, it didn't prevent her from understanding the meaning of Li Chongyi's words. She shyly dove into Empress Zhangsun's embrace.
