When Zhangsun Chong heard this, he was so scared that his heart was broken and his head was dizzy. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
Cheng Yaojin's gaze was fierce and cold. He raised the Tiangang Axe in his hand high up, shining with golden light!
If you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!
At least my son can still live!
If your son is still alive after I chop him with my axe, I won't be surnamed Cheng!
When the silkpants heard Cheng Yaojin's words, they were all overjoyed and wanted to high-five each other!
Cheng Chubi's eyes were shining brightly, and he wanted to kiss Cheng Yaojin!
Damn it, this was definitely his biological father!
At this time, if he did not send a god to assist, he would really be letting down this magnificent golden axe divine artifact!
"Your Majesty, this lowly one is willing to be executed to correct the laws of the Great Tang!”
Cheng Chubi's mouth revealed a faint smile, which was like a ripple on his face. It quickly swept across his face, then condensed into two sparks in his eyes and disappeared in the depths of his eyes.
It was at this moment that he escaped!
"However, this commoner has little talent and knowledge. I remember the laws of our dynasty. There is a saying of 'using gold to redeem a punishment'.”
Using money to atone for punishment had existed since ancient times, and the earliest could be traced back to the era of Emperor Yao.
"Shang Shu·Yao Dian":"Gold as a redemption punishment" is the earliest record of redemption punishment.
Li Guang, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, fought against the Xiongnu. He failed many times and was defeated. He used gold to atone for his sins.
Of course, there were also those who were too poor to pay.
Sima Qian, the Grand Historian, wouldn't have had his penis cut off if his family wasn't so poor that they couldn't pay the ransom.
"That's right, five catties of copper for redemption, one to five catties, with a difference of one catty for each grade. Five strokes of caning to redeem six catties of copper to ten catties, each grade with ten catties as the difference. Four sentences were used to redeem 20 to 60 catties of copper, with the difference of this catty for each class. Three banishment sentences to redeem 80 catties to 100 catties of copper, each grade to ten catties as a difference. The second death penalty is 120 catties of copper each."
The well-informed Fang Xuanling stroked his goatee as he spoke.
This little fellow was really a good candidate for an official!
Old Master Cui was indeed the leader of the world's number one aristocratic family!
He had really carved a piece of stone into a piece of beautiful jade in this year!
"Could it be that you want to redeem your punishment with copper?"
Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that his two noses were pointing up at the sky. His face was even darker than Bao Heizi's, like a big black bull that was about to go crazy!
"Naturally!"
Cheng Chu Bi's smile was very light, like the spring breeze bathing in the rain, like the summer lotus.
Three banishment sentences redeem 80 catties to 100 catties of copper, five caning sentences redeem six catties to ten catties of copper.
Adding up the two punishments, he would need to pay at least 86 catties of copper, and at most 110 catties of copper!
Then the question was, was 110 Jin of copper a lot?
According to the Kaiyuan Tongbao issued by Li Yuan during the reign of Wude, ten coins were two taels, and one catty was sixteen taels.
One hundred and ten jin of copper was seventeen thousand six hundred copper coins!
A thousand wen of money is about eighteen strings of money.
One coin was equivalent to one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver was equivalent to one tael of gold.
In the end, after all the fuss, even a divine artifact like the golden axe and whip was invited!
However, two taels of gold could easily solve this problem!
"This commoner is willing to pay twenty taels of silver to uphold the laws of the Great Tang!”
Cheng Chubi's eyebrows danced as he said lightly, and he even gave Li Er His Majesty two taels of silver!
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to pay twenty taels of silver."
"Your Majesty, this commoner is also willing."
It was only twenty taels of silver, a month's allowance!
All the silkpants came to a sudden realization. They smiled and were in high spirits as they fought to be the first to pay!
"Your Majesty, I will personally hand over the ransom of my unfilial son to the Ministry of Revenue in the future!”
"However, I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with a crafty sycophant like Zhangsun Chong!”
Killing a sycophant with a golden whip and axe was beyond the laws of the Great Tang!
You can't use money to buy it!
Yuchi Gong's face was dark, and the golden whip in his hand was grinding loudly. His big yellow teeth were shining brightly. If Second Emperor Li did not give him a good explanation, he was prepared to whip Zhangsun Chong to death like how he killed Li Yuanji!
I've been looking at you for a long time. Zhangsun Yin is not pleasing to the eye. I risked my life to save Second Emperor Li twice before I was granted the title of Duke. What contribution do you have to be above me?
You still want to exile my son? I'll whip your son to death today!
"Your Majesty, this child is only young and ignorant. He was too playful and mistakenly led His Highness the King of Yue into the alley of flowers and willows. He is definitely not a treacherous sycophant.”
His luck had changed. This time, it was Zhangsun Wuji's turn to kneel down and lower his voice.
Li Shi Min saw this scene and frowned, his face filled with worry.
Could Zhangsun Chong be killed?
Of course not!
If he killed Zhangsun Chong, not only would it be difficult to explain to his childhood friend Zhangsun Wuji!
When he returned to the palace, it would be difficult to explain to Empress Zhangsun Wugou!
Even to his daughter, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, it would be hard to explain! Originally, he was prepared to betroth the precious Eldest Princess 'daughter to Zhangsun Chong.
However, he shouldn't kill them, right?
When he saw Fang Xuanling and Li Ji, he deliberately pretended to be indifferent, looking at the palace beam and counting the stars, but always watching him from the corner of his eye.
When they saw Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, they opened their bloody mouths and brandished their golden axes and whips, which were shining with golden light and cold light.
If he didn't give them a good explanation, these two fools would definitely dare to kill Zhangsun Chong, the person whose blood would splash everywhere in the Yin and Yang Palace!
Motherf * cker, is it easy for me to be a good emperor who is compatible with my subjects?
"Zhangsun Chong, you fawned over the King of Yue and bewitched him.”
"Ran!"
