Li Yu dragged a heavy anklet and a wooden shackle around his neck, escorted by two soldiers into the hall of the Regent's Palace, he was unkempt, haggard, and in a trance, completely different from the style of the prince who was high above him in the past.

The footsteps were slow and heavy, and it could be said that he walked to the middle of the hall with difficulty, Li Yu raised his head and looked at Zhao Ziliang, who was sitting behind the imperial case opposite, which was extremely rude in the eyes of the ministers and officials of the palace, he was now the first offender of the rebellion, and the title of King Xuan was also cut off, and the first offender of the rebellion dared not kneel when he saw the regent? The ministers and officials all glared angrily and reprimanded one after another: "Bold, why don't you kneel down and plead guilty when you see the king?" ”

Li Yu sneered, looked at Zhao Ziliang and said: "After all, you have to die, there is a difference between kneeling and not kneeling?" Why should I practice myself? ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand to stop the ministers and officials from continuing to scold and accuse, and looked at Li Yu and said: "This is like the bearing that the supreme leader of the Royalist Society should have, the stand-in before was too far behind!" Li Yu, I heard that you want to see Lone? I don't have much free time, I hope you don't delay! ”

Li Yu said: "I only have one question for the regent, thirteen years ago, my father was shot by a stray arrow in the process of fighting against Li Lingyao's rebellion, and died of serious injuries after retreating to Xingyang, I want to know if he was killed by you?" Did you deliberately send my father to lead the army to quell the rebellion in order to consolidate your position in the court, so that he died on the battlefield? ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned: "You hate Gu because of this matter, secretly form a party and plot a rebellion, and oppose Gu's regent?" ”

Li Yu didn't quibble, and said directly and simply: "At least half of the reason is!" ”

"What about the other half of the reason?"

Li Yu said: "The other half is that you stole the important weapon of my Tang Kingdom and refused to return it to the Li Tang royal family, do you dare to say that you are not greedy for power?" If you are not greedy for power, why are you so slow to return your pro-government power to the emperor? ”

"Hahaha······" Zhao Ziliang burst out laughing, "Boy, if you want to use this child's trick to provoke Jianggu, then you are too naïve!" It is impossible for Lone to take the initiative to hand over the military and political power because of your words, even if Lone hands it over, who will it hand it over? Who has the ability and deterrence to make the world surrender? Leave it to you? Or the emperor in the palace? It's not that Lone wants to be in charge of the Tang Kingdom's heavy weapon, he will definitely be able to sit in this position, if Lone doesn't have this ability and doesn't do well enough, without the opposition of your royal family, the people of the world will not agree, they will oppose Lone, they will rise up, but look at it now, in addition to you jumping off the beam clown playing boring tricks, who else has a good life but jumps out to find their own way to death? Sitting alone in this position is not that Lone is going to occupy this position all the time, but the choice of the people of the world, and it is also the choice of history, if one day there is a person who can replace Lone, the people of the world will take the initiative to choose him to replace Lone, and history will also let Lone take the initiative to step down! ”

Li Yu was unmoved, and sneered again and again, "People like you always like to put on a beautiful coat for yourself, you can coax those ignorant untouchables, but you can't coax me, the officials and ministers of the central government and the people of insight in the world, your lies will eventually be exposed!" I don't want to dwell on this issue with you, I just want to know if you killed my father, I know that I will die, I just hope to know about the competition before the temporary, if you don't tell me that I really want to, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Li Yu for a long time, and raised his chin to Li Yu next to him, "Li Yu, you tell him the truth and let him die blindly!" ”

Li Yu stood up and arched his hand to Li Yu and said: "His Royal Highness King Xuan, the matter of the year, the lower official was a personal participant, and the lower official was not an official from Western Qin, but only came to the palace to do things after the king became the regent, so the words of the lower official should make His Royal Highness King Xuan believe!" When Li Lingyao rebelled, the regent originally planned to let General Zang Xiyan lead the army as the commander, but at that time, General Zang was in Huainan to clean up the chaos that had just been pacified, and Guo Ziyi was training troops in the Dengzhou area, and the regent took the matter to the court for the ministers to discuss. ”

Li Yu immediately laughed shamefully: "Ha, can you believe the words of a mere eagle dog lackey?" ”

When Li Mi heard this, he was so angry that his old face turned purple on the spot, and he pointed at Li Yu: "You······ You ······"

Li Yu ignored him and continued: "Even if my father took the initiative to ask for help, do you know that this is not what you and these eagle dogs and lackeys have secretly planned to lead my father to take the initiative to stand up? ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Li Yu and said slowly: "Li Yu, you have gone mad!" Since ancient times, the kings of the past dynasties have always wanted to exterminate the nine clans for the rebellious ministers and thieves, and they always have to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots for some criminal officials. As a result, after the regency of Lone, the punishment for many crimes that brought harm to the family was abolished. But now it seems that it is not unreasonable for the ancestors to do this, because cutting the grass and eradicating the roots can save a lot of trouble! Because even if you are kind, others will not necessarily appreciate it, because hatred can blind people and make them lose their minds! Come, take him down! ”

"The surname Zhao, you definitely don't have a good result, you want to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne, dream!"

"He's crazy, crazy!" Ministers and officials shouted one after another.

Although the person was taken away, Zhao Ziliang still had a gloomy face, obviously angry by Li Chen's idea that he thought was unreasonable.

Gao Shang stood up and arched his hand: "The king doesn't have to be angry about this, it is normal for Li Yu to have this kind of thought, but it is limited to him and a very small number of people have this kind of thought, everyone else will not think that the king has done wrong, as the so-called king is a king and a loser, the history book is written by the victor!" Chen believes that the top priority is how to deal with the aftermath, after all, there are many clans involved in this rebellion case, and how to minimize the impact is a problem we should consider! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Gu has already ordered the three divisions to conduct a trial, with Lu Qi as the presiding judge, and the trial will be conducted in accordance with the criminal law, neither lightly nor severely, and the sentence will be as it should be!" ”

Gao Shang hesitated for a moment and said: "Great King, if this is the case, then all the clans involved in this case will at least have to be decided, and everyone in the world will understand that this is the royal family is opposing the Great King, and the Great King is ruthlessly eradicating political enemies, which seems to be detrimental to the reputation of the Great King!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "You guys are mistaken, since ancient times, would the emperor worry about being charged with brutality for killing too many people?" No king would want to see his rule threatened, and in order to maintain his rule, maintain the stability of the world, and the stability of the court, even if he slaughtered millions, there may be words describing his brutality in the history books, but does this have an impact on the people? The change of Xuanwumen, Emperor Taizong killed his father and brother to ascend to the throne, created the rule of Zhenguan in one fell swoop, laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and became the first emperor of the ages praised by later generations. He is remembered only for his exploits, because everyone knows that no one is perfect! Lone doesn't care about other people's opinions, as long as the people remember that Lone has done a few good things in his lifetime that benefit the country and the people! ”

The case of rebellion has been solved, but the matter is not over, there are too many people involved, and there are thousands of people from the royal clans, ministers, officials, families, and the market who have secretly joined the royalist society all over the country, and it will take a lot of time to interrogate and try these people one by one.

This incident did cause a huge repercussion in the government and the opposition during this period of time, and the people were discussing this matter in various places, some people said that after this incident, the Li Tang royal family was completely disabled, which was heavier than Wu Zetian's attack on the Li Tang royal family; Some people also say that Zhao Ziliang is deliberately cleaning up the royal family and preparing for the change of dynasty, once the power of the royal family is almost eradicated, no one will have the strength to hinder him from changing the dynasty.

No matter how fierce these discussions and arguments are, they have no effect on ordinary people, they only know that the current life is getting better and better, and even if these people of the royal family are eradicated, they will only applaud, so that these royal clans who are usually powerful and prosperous can no longer bully them.

On the fifth day of October, after nearly three months of trial, all the suspects and people involved in the rebellion case have all been tried, which can be completed in such a quick time under the condition of using a lot of manpower and material resources.

"The king, this is the result of the trial of all the suspects and people involved in the treason, and the ministers have sorted out and submitted a copy to the king for review, and whether it will be carried out according to this will be ordered by the king!" Lu Qi said.

A thick stack of files was placed on top of Zhao Ziliang's imperial case, Zhao Ziliang spent a lot of time looking at them one by one, and then looked up and said: "Regarding whether the royal family is executed according to this, let's see what the emperor means, you will enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint!" As for the others, do the same! ”

Lu Qi promised: "No! ”

Within two days, a holy decree was issued from the palace, and the holy decree decreed that all royal clans involved in the rebellion case would be severely punished in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The Ministry of Punishment quickly followed suit, and a small number of high-ranking members of the Royalist Society were beheaded, some people from other clans were sentenced to be beheaded, and the lightest was also beheaded, and their families were exiled, which was undoubtedly much lighter for those who were beheaded all over the house, and even if the family members of these clans survived, they were basically deprived of their titles and their property confiscated.

Executions were carried out at the same time, and for a time thousands of people were beheaded, and many others were exiled.

As the chief judge, Lu Qi became the person who attracted the most hatred and firepower, he was hated by all the royal families who were not implicated, and was scolded by Shilin and many people, becoming a veritable evil official!
