"You should have been sentenced to death, but I remember your father's contribution to the city and the founding of the country. I sentence you to be beaten eighty times with a stick and banished to Lingnan!”
"Cheng Chubi, are you convinced?"
After Li Shimin was convicted, he saw that Cheng Chubi had no strange expression and questioned him.
Actually, Second Emperor Li couldn't even convince himself. It was fake to send him to Lingnan, but it was true to beat him 30 to 40 times to establish his prestige and then send him back to the various prefectures to be strictly watched.
He did not believe that Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Li Ji, who had returned to the capital to report on their work, had not received the news after such a long time.
Li Ji might have been a little late, but it was impossible for Yuchi Gong, the former Great General of the Right Marquis, and Cheng Yaojin, the current Great General of the Right Guards and in charge of the palace guards, not to have received any news.
After dozens of beatings, he had vented his anger. Cheng Yaojin and the others had almost come over to plead for mercy. It was another good story.
It had to be said that Second Emperor Li's way of governing his subordinates was still very smooth.
"Your Majesty's decree, this commoner is sincerely convinced!”
Although Cheng Chubi wasn't as thoughtful as Second Emperor Li, he wasn't too far off in this matter, so he agreed.
"Then, are you willing to admit your crimes and be punished?”
"This subject (commoner) is guilty and is willing to listen to Your Majesty's punishment!”
Li Zhen and the others had long been in cahoots with Cheng Chu Bi, and they all pleaded guilty.
"Since you are convinced, come and take Cheng Chu Bi away. First, beat him with a cane to eighty, then put him in the prison. Tomorrow afternoon, send him to Lingnan!”
"The rest of you are all criminals, but your strength is slightly lighter. You will be beaten forty times with a stick and then sent to the prison. Tomorrow at noon, you will be sent to Jiannan together!”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi, the Third Secretary of the Imperial Household, the Great General, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhangsun Wuji, and his son, Zhangsun Chong, request an audience!”
Second Emperor Li had just finished his sentence and was about to order the left guards outside the hall to pull these little guys out and carry out the military punishment when Li Dequan walked in from outside the hall.
Before the one pleading for mercy arrived, the one complaining arrived first!
"Quickly pass it on!"
Li Shi Min sneered and ordered.
A middle-aged civil official with a long and thin mustache, dark eyes, and a cold face walked in first.
Behind him, two young eunuchs were carrying a pale-faced man with a weak expression and a malicious gaze.
Who else could it be but Zhangsun Chong?
"Zhangsun Wuji greets Your Majesty!”
"This commoner Zhangsun Chong greets Your Majesty!”
A dark and sharp gaze flashed past Zhangsun Chong's eyes. He had a troubled expression as he held his back and stood up with difficulty.
Before he could even half bow, he immediately fell down, stood up again, and fell down again. He failed to bow to Second Emperor Li three times in a row. The fine sweat that seeped out from his forehead and nose made him look extremely painful.
Cheng Chubi looked at Zhangsun Chong's faking expression, and his heart was burning. He wished he could go up and kick him twice!
Motherf * cker, I hit your face, and I kicked your face. You f * cking hold your waist and pretend to be pitiful!
"Nephew Zhangsun, there's no need to be so polite!”
Li Shi Min glanced at it and waved his hand.
Although he addressed him as a 'good nephew', Second Emperor Li didn't have any enthusiasm for him.
Damn it, your son was beaten up, and you pretended to be pitiful and dragged him to complain to me!
My son is only ten years old, and your son is fourteen years old, one year away from adulthood. Who am I going to complain to?
"Your Majesty, you have to uphold justice for this subject! Look at how badly my eldest son has been beaten!”
Zhangsun Wuji also wailed and cried for help from Second Emperor Li.
"Ancestors, I already know your purpose for coming! However, you're too late. I've already given you a fair judgment!”
"May I ask, Your Majesty, about this verdict?"
"Cheng Chubi will be beaten eighty times and sent to Lingnan! The rest of the people were beaten forty times and sent to Jiannan.”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
When Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Chong heard this, they were extremely excited and shouted loudly.
Li Shiming was expressionless, but he was sneering in his heart.
You're happy now, Golden Words. Now that you're here, I can only make the show real!
But what should I do when Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Li Ji come to plead for mercy?
This isn't asking me to be inhumane!
Didn't you say that the monarch and his subjects were compatible?
The scariest thing in the world was to think of something bad and it would happen!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Duke of Wei (changed title in the third year of Zhenguan) Minister Zuo Pushe Fang Qiao, Duke of Wu Xiangzhou Governor Wei Chigong, Duke of Cao Bingzhou Governor Li Ji, Duke of Su Youwu Guard General Cheng Zhijie, and Fang Qiaozi Jungong Gongfang Jun request an audience!”
Li Dequan rushed in from outside the palace door in a panic, raising his voice and shouting loudly.
Li Shi Min's body suddenly stood up, almost knocking into the golden shelf of the throne. His face was gloomy, as if he had just eaten a piece of sh * t.
Damn it, what are you afraid of?
Not only were the three of them here, even Fang Xuanling was here!
"Announce!"
"But His Majesty, Duke Wu and Duke Su, brought the golden whip and golden axe that His Majesty, the Retired Emperor, had given them!”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720194:40PM
