Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 92: The families of the prisoners

Li Datong: "Your Majesty knows that I am a lazy person. Actually, I don't want to care about things that have nothing to do with me. But this matter is not the same. I have the cause and effect in it, so I can't help but move my compassion."

"Cause and effect?" Li Shimin repeated weirdly.

"Yes." Li Xin smiled bitterly, "After all, the double-entry bookkeeping method and the big food text are my own hands. Your Majesty has used it to detect so many corrupt officials, I am certainly happy for it. But if it is involved, then How innocent women and children are, I will also feel sad. Your Majesty, it is the officials who are corrupting and accepting bribes, not these women and children. Why should you hold on to them? It is better to just let them go and show your majesty’s virtue."

Only then did Li Shimin understand the reason for Li Xin's involvement in this matter. He shook his head and said: "The imperial decree has been laid down. You have no joking, and I have no reason to take it back. Moreover, the embezzlement of disaster relief funds has a great impact, and it is not enough to deter all officials without severe punishment."

Li Tongdao: "The purpose of deterring hundreds of officials is to reduce the occurrence of such corruption in the future. However, with the double-entry bookkeeping method and the big food text, the probability of corruption and bribery would have been reduced, and the goal of your majesty has been achieved. Your Majesty can let these people go."

Li Shimin was silent.

Li Xin added: "In this case of Shandong, the Cui family and the Wang family were greatly injured. Let alone the chess pieces abandoned by the two families, the rest of the two families should be panicked for fear of their future. When the family rushed into battle, they once again became the pawns that were decisively abandoned by the family. At this time, if your majesty only kills the first evil and leaves these women and children, it is entirely possible to attract those who are not determined to fall to your majesty, and it can even more paralyze the Cui family and the Wang family. They thought that His Majesty was indecisive and left room for future plans."

Li Shimin lifted his eyelids and glanced at Li Xin, with light flickering under his eyes. He joked: "You have repeatedly emphasized that you are not good at playing with hearts and eyes, but now I don't think you have less eyes than those old foxes."

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me." Li Xin quickly excused himself, and then continued, "After all, the double-entry bookkeeping and the big food text helped your Majesty find out such a big case. We should be credited with the minister, right? Your Majesty. I haven't rewarded me yet. Now, I don't want this last time either. Together with the previous reasons, I implore your Majesty to let go of these women and children. I hope that your Majesty can agree!"

After speaking, Li Xin bowed to the ground and bowed a big salute.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time before he sighed, and said, "It's fine. So be it. All the family members of the criminals will be given to you as slaves to the king of Chu, Li Xin, let you handle it."

This was already a big concession. Compared with exile and Jiaofangsi, Chu Wangfu was definitely a heavenly place. Moreover, His Majesty Li Er also said that these women and children were given to Li Xin as slaves, and they can be left to Li Xin’s disposal. That is to say, the slave documents of these people will be sent to Li Xin, as long as Li Xin wants to. , He can completely destroy these documents, put everyone in good condition, and let them all return to ordinary people and live their own lives.

Li Shimin patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said, "You should do it yourself if you are a good person."

Li Xin quickly thanked him and said: "It's all the grace of your majesty. The minister did nothing."

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, and said, "What a good little fox, why would he refuse to be an official?"

When Li Xin heard the words, his heart was tight, and he had to show a standard mentally retarded smirk, trying to wash away Li Shimin's clever evaluation of him.

Li Shimin didn't know what Li Xin was thinking. He rolled his eyes speechlessly, kicked Li Xin severely, and said; "Go away, go away, I'm really annoyed by seeing you."

Li Xin rubbed his butt, pretended to scream twice, and praised: "Your Majesty's foot is really powerful. It shows that your Majesty is strong and strong, and the body is tight. The minister there will feel relieved to leave."

Li Shimin glared at Li Xin and said, "Don't go if you are slid again. Get a twenty-five board before you go. I will do it myself and let you know how strong I am!"

Where did Li Xin dare to speak a little, he slid out of the hall immediately.

Li Shimin looked at Li Xin not acting upright, chuckled, shook his head, and muttered: "This kid is alive and well." Then, he looked down at the memorial piled up in front of him. , Sighed, and sank into the work that seemed to never end.

Li Shimin's second imperial decree was quickly issued. The imperial edict said that the king of Chu had a kindhearted heart and pleaded with the families of the criminals, and the Holy Spirit fulfilled the kindness of the kings of Chu. Therefore, all the family members of these criminals, totaling 243 people, were given to the king of Chu and let the king of Chu send off.

With the imperial decree, the officials' movements were so fast that almost on the afternoon the imperial decree was issued, the criminal department official in charge of the matter brought the mighty 200-odd people outside the back door of the Chu Palace. Wang Gui and the officials counted the numbers one by one, and only after the handover was completed, did they politely send a few officials from the Criminal Ministry and the officials who escorted the prisoners away.

Almost half of these prisoners are children, and the rest are mostly women of all ages, sometimes with elderly people. Most people have panic and uneasy eyes in their eyes, and they are obviously very confused and uneasy about the fate they are about to face.

A little boy cowered behind his mother and asked anxiously: "Are we going to be exiled in a while?"

The mother touched the little boy's head and was about to speak, but she saw Wang Gui grinning and squeezing out as gentle a smile as possible: "You don't need to be exiled, and you don't need to be sent to the Jiaofang Division. My king's heart Shan, I pleaded with you before your majesty, and you will be members of the Chu Prince's Mansion from now on. Don't worry, at least you can eat well and dress warmly. Our prince treats his servants very well."

Wang Gui was showing kindness to the children, but a young man about twelve or thirteen years old in the crowd not far away snorted coldly, seeming to sneer at Wang Gui's words.

He was also wearing the prisoner’s tattered clothes, his face was dirty, and the corners of his mouth were turned down with hatred: "Isn’t he the King of Chu who turned us into this kind of person? Now here comes such a pretense, pretending to be a good person... ..... It's disgusting."

As soon as he said this, the middle-aged woman next to him suddenly changed her face, and quickly covered the boy’s mouth, and smiled again and again at Wang Gui, whose face became cold, and said softly: "The child is not sensible, this old man Don't worry about it. All of us are grateful for the kindness of the king..."

"Don't go against your will." A refreshing voice of a young boy suddenly came from the corridor not far away, and everyone looked up. It was Li Xin who was standing there in his home clothes.
