Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

Zhao Jie and Du He were too naive.

They didn't even think about it, so many Eastern Palace guards and dead men couldn't catch Li Er, let alone them.

Before they approached, Wei Hao moved with his shadow.

Immediately, there were screams.

The soldiers brought by Zhao Jie and Du He died instantly.

Wei Hao seemed to deliberately save the lives of Zhao Jie and Du He, and was not in a hurry to kill them.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"what……"

"what……"

Then there was a scream.

Wei Hao suddenly raised his knife and dropped it.

Directly cut off the arms of Zhao Jie and Du He holding weapons.

After the two screamed, they passed out in pain.

Li Er wanted to see this, but couldn't help but frowned.

The sound of fighting outside has disappeared, and there is a sound of rapid footsteps approaching from a distance.

Soon, Li Daozong led hundreds of imperial guards and ran over.

Li Daozong came to Li Er, bowed his hands and said:
"See Your Majesty! Your Majesty is begging for atonement for your late rescue!"

Li Er waved his hand, and then ordered:

"You leave some people to clean up the East Palace, and escort Li Chengqian and all the surviving rebels to the prison! Separate them!"

"promise!"

Li Daozong immediately ordered one hundred guards to stay, and the rest of the guards escorted Li Er back to the Ganlu Hall.

at the same time.

In the imperial city and the palace city, the royal guards of the imperial court are cleaning up the party members of Li Chengqian, Li Yuanchang, and Hou Junji one by one.

Inside and outside Chang'an City, those old ministries of Hou Junji were also controlled one by one.

Li Er returned to Ganlu Hall under the escort of Wei Hao and others, and let out a long breath.

But his brows were tightly furrowed, and they still didn't relax.

Thinking of his son actually pretending to be ill to deceive him, trying to seize the throne, he was both saddened and chilled.

Not only that, but my younger brother will also turn against me.

And Hou Junji, whom he once placed high hopes on, wanted to turn against him.

A series of blows made him exhausted physically and mentally.

Wei Hao stood aside, continuing to protect Li Er.

He suddenly felt that Li Er was much older.

After a while.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling hurried in.

After performing the ceremony of the emperor and ministers, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling asked Li Er if there was something wrong and if he was injured.

After the polite words, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling reported that the Tiance shadow guards had already searched for Li Chengqian, Li Yuanchang, and Hou Junji's party members who had not been arrested or killed in the Imperial City and Chang'an City.

At the same time, the evidence of treason by Li Chengqian, Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others was further searched.

Not long after.

Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and other civil servants entered the hall to greet Li Er.

Everyone is discussing what happened today.

Li Er looked heavy, listening to the minister's discussion.

After half an hour.

Zhang Shigui, Li Daozong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and other generals entered the hall and reported the situation of the battle.

Zhang Shigui reported that the rebels in all parts of Miyagi had been wiped out, and the main rebel generals were either captured or hacked to death.

Li Daozong reported that all those who did not die in Donggong had been put in jail, waiting to be released.

Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin reported that Chang'an City was stable, Li Yuanchang had been tied up in prison, and all of Hou Junji's old ministries had been captured.

After Li Er heard this, his expression was still heavy.

Although the rebellion was quickly quelled, Li Er was not at all happy about it.

……

after one day.

The Hall of Liangyi.

Li Erxuan summoned a group of officials to discuss the disposal of Li Chengqian, Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others.

All the ministers expressed their opinions.

Some people suggested that Li Chengqian, Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others be executed.

Some people suggested that Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang should be demoted to common people and executed after autumn;
As for Hou Junji and others, the whole family should be killed.

Some people think that Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, was instigated by Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others, but he could not escape his death.

From the advice of the ministers, they all reached the same opinion, which is to execute Li Chengqian.

Li Er looked at the officials, sighed and said:
"I called you here because I hope you will share the burden for me. I have already ordered the execution of a son. Do you still want to see me kill my own son?"

What Li Er said obviously meant that he did not want Li Chengqian to be executed.

Originally, he wholeheartedly hoped that Li Chengqian could inherit the throne, devoted all his efforts to Li Chengqian, and appointed many ministers to teach Li Chengqian, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

"Your Majesty, the former crown prince, as the crown prince, united with others to seize the throne, his crime should be punished and will never be forgiven!
Otherwise, it is not enough to shock the world! "Xiao Yu started to play.

"Seconded!"

Many ministers agreed.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Gao Shilian did not express any opinions.

Without making a sound, they tacitly supported the execution of Li Chengqian.

Li Er saw that most of the ministers supported the execution of Li Chengqian, and his expression was ugly.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I believe that the original prince's crimes should not be punished."

Wei Hao stood up and said neither humble nor overbearing.

Li Er's eyes lit up, staring at Wei Hao.

The eyes of all the ministers immediately fell on Wei Hao.

Wei Hao knew that what Li Chengqian did made Li Er feel disappointed, but after all, he put in a lot of hard work and energy to cultivate Li Chengqian into a qualified heir!
Li Chengqian made a big mistake in forcing the palace to rebel, but Wei Hao could see that Li Er still loved his eldest son in his heart and couldn't bear to kill him.

Wei Hao looked at Li Er and said unhurriedly:

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the former prince has long been Li Yuanchang's puppet.

In other words, the original prince's rebellion was not his will, but was coerced by Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others. "

Seeing that a minister wanted to refute, Wei Hao added:

"There are many people who can testify about this matter."

Many ministers whispered and discussed in low voices.

Li Er looked at Wei Hao approvingly.

Changsun Wuji realized that Li Er was determined to save Li Chengqian's life, so he couldn't help but echo Wei Hao:

"Your Majesty, General Wei is right!
The minister also heard that the former crown prince was coerced by Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others to rebel. "

"What the two princes said is true! Although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, His Majesty is also a loving father. Don't you colleagues have the heart to see Your Majesty's white-headed man give a black-headed man?"

A minister named Lai Ji spoke up.

"As the officials of the Tang Dynasty, we should relieve His Majesty's worries.

If you can make your majesty a loving father and let the prince enjoy his life, then that is what we should do as ministers. "

Seeing that a general manager with a small official position said the same thing, more ministers voiced their support for keeping Li Chengqian alive.

So the monarch and his ministers discussed again, and finally decided to abolish Li Chengqian and his wife and children as common people and exile them to Qianzhou.

For this result, the monarch and his subjects all accepted it.

Li Er finally saved the life of his beloved son.

As for Li Yuanchang, he was ordered to commit suicide.

But Du He, Hou Junji, Zhao Jie and others were ordered to beheaded for public display.

Li Er was considered kind, except that the mastermind of the treason was either given death or beheaded, his family was not implicated.
