Chapter 859 Captivity
Chapter 859
Li Chengqian reported to Li Shimin about the matter in Dali Temple, Li Shimin heard what Li Chengqian said, and sighed in his heart, he knew that this matter still broke out.
"Father, what should I do now, if I really catch it back, it will not be easy to punish at that time, if the punishment is light, those family owners will definitely not be convinced, if the punishment is heavy, but, the two children of the slave have just been born, just, son, hey!" Li Chengqian was indeed anxious in his heart,
Li Shimin was also relieved to see Li Chengqian like this, he didn't think about killing Li Zhi, so Li Shimin was also very relieved, in this way, as long as they didn't die, then the possibility of Li Chengqian killing them was very low.
"Say, aren't they united? Said it was sold, and it was sold? Li Shimin sat there, looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"That's what I said, but now I want to save my life and want to pull Li Zhi to accompany them, they know that my father and sons definitely don't want anything to happen to the slaves, otherwise, they wouldn't have had such a big thing in the first place, just let him go to Taiyuan, instead of being reduced to a commoner!" Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said.
"Well, do you have a way?" Li Shimin nodded, looked at Li Chengqian and asked.
"No, those officials of the family are shouting to arrest the slaves, and the sons said that they would come over to ask their father." Li Chengqian shook his head and said, Li Shimin heard it and nodded.
"Where's Pepin, where has Pepin gone?" Li Shimin thought of Qin Huaidao, so he asked.
"It is estimated that it is in the Ministry of Industry, and during this time, the Ministry of Industry is doing the budget and final accounts, although he doesn't do much in person now, but he still needs to keep an eye on it." Li Chengqian thought for a while and said.
"Someone, go and call Pepin to come over, immediately!" Li Shimin shouted to Wang En not far away.
"Yes!" Wang En immediately went down and asked people to inform Qin Huaidao to go, and then the father and son, there was no better way.
"I heard Peping say that those two children are very cute, if the slaves can't be saved, I want to take them back to the palace to raise, but okay, if I can't wait until they are adults, I need you, the uncle, to be attentive." Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said.
"Father, son, father, you are old, or put it in the East Palace, it's okay for the son to come and greet him, but, father, the matter of the slave, you still need to think of a way, the son promised the queen mother, to take care of those younger brothers and sisters, now although the slave has become the marquis, Qingque is also a commoner,
But no matter what, they are still alive, and they are still free of food and clothing, and the sons still think that when they know that they are wrong, the sons will let them restore the princely title, or rather, improve somewhat, as long as they admit their mistakes. Li Chengqian stood there and said to Li Shimin with a little sadness,
Li Shimin heard it, nodded, and then said to Li Chengqian: "Sit down and say, sit down and say, wait for Peping to come over and ask Peping, my father is old, I don't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, I don't want to!" I've wronged you! ”
"Don't be wronged, my father, and my sons don't want to do this, I'll ask Peping later, see if he has a way, if there is a way, it's best." Li Chengqian still nodded sadly, and Qin Huaidao was looking at the final accounts reported below, which needed to be reviewed by Qin Huaidao.
"Hu Guogong!" A eunuch came in and shouted at Qin Huaidao.
"Hmm!" Qin Huaidao knew him and knew that he was the person next to Wang En, so he immediately nodded.
"Hu Guogong, Your Majesty summoned you over, it seems that there is an urgent matter, Wang Gonggong said, I want to remind you, it may be related to the Marquis of Jinyang!" The eunuch said to Qin Huaidao,
Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile, then stood up and said, "Thank you, let's go!" ”
When Qin Huaidao walked towards the palace, he was also muttering in his heart, what the hell is going on? Just came out of the palace, and I also told them about the matter of Jinyang Hou, why do you have to go over again, can things not change, Qin Huaidao soon arrived at the side of Chengtian Palace, and saw Li Chengqian and Li Shimin sitting there, both in a very depressed mood.
"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what's wrong?" Qin Huaidao went over and asked.
"Peping, you have to think of a way, hey, this time, you can't keep it if you don't do it!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao, and when Qin Huaidao heard it, he looked at Li Shimin, a little incomprehensible.
"Gao Ming, talk to Pepin!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian as he spoke, and Li Chengqian immediately introduced Qin Huaidao.
"This, they want to drag the Marquis of Jinyang into the water? Terrible! When Qin Huaidao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but say with emotion, dragging down Li Zhi, then Li Shimin will have to throw a rat bogey, if you want to kill those family masters, then Li Zhi also needs to be killed, how can Li Shimin do this.
"Peping, you say, can you save this matter?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.
"If you want to save it, you must be able to save it, before the son asked his father, whether his father wants those family masters to die, or does he want them to have no influence, if they want to die, then there is no way, if they have no influence, then it's simple, in fact, it's good to be confined, lock them up, give them food and drink!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.
"Huh? Confined? When Li Shimin heard it, he looked at Qin Huaidao with interest.
"Actually, father, as soon as tomorrow's newspaper publishes, they will be ruined, and it is useless to kill them or not, but if they are banned, including their sons, I believe that it can still be done, and the Marquis of Jinyang, can also be banned,
Of course, the place where the captive is confined may be different, for example, the confinement in a manor outside the city, just don't let him have contact with the outside, they can still live inside, of course, in order to avoid the boredom of the Marquis of Jinyang, you can also give him a part of the maid and the family, and the people who farm,
After all, he is a marquis, and his father doesn't have to take off his marquis title, or give him a part of the food, in this way, it is no different from ordinary people, but for the family, you can directly lock them in the cell, or let them go to build roads, so the treatment is the same,
And in this way, I believe that the reaction of the family will not be so intense, and they can continue to clean up slowly, such as the one who took the lead this time, and the father can also find a way to transfer their positions, of course, don't transfer now, take your time! Qin Huaidao continued to suggest to Li Shimin, Li Shimin heard it, nodded, and looked at Li Chengqian.
"Yes, Erchen agrees with Peping's opinion, so that the slave and the green finch are almost the same, anyway, the slave still has a title!" Li Chengqian immediately agreed with Qin Huaidao's statement.
"Then let's do it, it's cheaper for them!" Li Shimin nodded and said, still a little unwilling in his heart.
"Father, in fact, it's nothing, they are all so old, and they won't live for a few years, and their children are also criminals, and they can't be officials in the future, plus when the time comes, let them go to the straight road, it is estimated that when they come out, their family itself still recognizes them, I don't know,
The key now is how to designate the next head of the family, this needs to be considered by the father and the prince, the son and the prince can't give advice, this must be the person who must obey the order, if you don't listen, then don't! Qin Huaidao reminded Li Shimin again and said,
Li Shimin nodded, looked at Li Chengqian and said: "You can do this thing, my father is also old, and I am worried that the person I choose will not be able to be used for you, so it is best for you to do this matter!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.
"Ah, Father, is this appropriate?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin a little worriedly and said.
"Nothing out of place, go for it! This world will still be handed over to you after all, they can't do it! Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian,
When Li Chengqian heard this, he was very moved, and immediately said to Li Shimin: "Thank you, father!" "Gao Ming, in the past two years, you have really grown a lot, my father is very pleased, I believe that your mother knows in the underground, and she will be happy for you, do it well!"
"Well, thank you for your father's training, the son was ignorant before, let the father and the queen mother worry about it, and the son is ashamed!" Li Chengqian clenched his fists and said to Li Shimin.
"Hey, young, who hasn't made some mistakes, it's okay, it's all over!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian with a smile, and Li Chengqian nodded very movingly.
"Alright, that's it, Pepin, you're now managing the final accounts of the Ministry of Works, right?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.
"Yes, this year is a lot of money, the Ministry of Industry spent more than 1.7 million yuan, however, the results have also been made, those straight roads are repaired well, and the reservoir has also been repaired a lot, however, next year, because there will be a war, so, in terms of budget, I have reduced it to 1.2 million yuan, that is, to repair a few major straight roads and reservoirs in several arid areas, and the others will be temporarily stopped!" Qin Huaidao sat there and reported to Li Shimin.
"Well, you do things, my father can rest assured, I know that you are all thinking about the court, by the way, next year's imperial examination, my father hopes that you can be the chief examiner!" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao as he spoke.
"Ah, I, that can't be done, that's not possible, father, son-in-law doesn't have this qualification, father-emperor can't be joking, and he will use troops against Goryeo next year, and son-in-law doesn't have that time!" When Qin Huaidao heard this, he looked at Li Shimin in surprise and said, the examiner is not something that anyone can be, he must be a recognized Confucian, and he doesn't have this ability, so he won't be embarrassed.
"Hey, who dares to say anything if you go? You go to your father, don't worry, you know, next year my father is going to take 300 people, as a backup for the court, I am worried about the people below, and I have to think about it again! Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and said with a sigh of reproach.
