The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 748
Hearing what Qin Huaiyu said, Li Shimin showed a displeasure expression on his face.And staring directly at the representatives of the three great families.

Regardless of the usual five surnames and seven sects, all of them have their eyes above the top, although they don't take imperial power seriously at all.But they did not dare to openly compare with the emperor.

Because of that result, it would provoke Li Shimin's anger.If Li Shimin burns everything in a fit of anger.In the end, there was only one result for the five surnames and seven sects, and that was to be uprooted by Li Shimin.

So the representatives of the three major families said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, our family is loyal to the Emperor. Don't listen to Qin Huaiyu sowing discord."

"Qin Huaiyu, why do you think so? Do people in the world really think that the patriarch of five surnames and seven clans is no different from me?" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaiyu.

"Father, the five surnames and the seven sects don't have imperial power and laws at all. What they do is based on the interests of the family, and they don't care about the honor and disgrace of the country and the people."

"So in their hearts, there is no difference between the patriarch of their family and the father. Even the three present here today think that the father is not more authoritative than their patriarch." Qin Huaiyu said to Li Shimin.

This time Li Shimin's face became even more ugly, and then he said to the representatives of the three major families with a cold face: "What the five surnames and seven sects have done, the people of the world can see it for all to see. Even I know it well."

"It's just that I have taken into account the face of the five surnames and seven sects, and have never made things difficult for you. But now you are getting more and more rampant, and you don't take me seriously at all. How about I give you the throne of the five surnames and seven sects?" ?”

Hearing what Li Zhimin said, the representatives of the three major families panicked completely.So he hurriedly knelt down on the ground and saluted Li Shimin, saying: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Qin Huaiyu's nonsense. He is trying to provoke the relationship between the Emperor and the five surnames and seven sects."

"Of course I have a conclusion in my mind, but now is not the time to talk about it. Let's talk about the crime Qin Huaiyu committed. How do you think Qin Huaiyu should be dealt with?" Li Shimin asked the representatives of the three great families.

At this time, the representatives of the three great families had already hated Qin Huaiyu to the bone.I can't wait to smash him into ashes immediately to relieve the hatred in my heart.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Report to the emperor, Qin Huaiyu's intimidation of our Patriarch will be done according to what Master Wei said. After all, as Master Wei said, our Patriarch is all white."

"However, Qin Huaiyu said privately that the matter of soldiers besieging our family's mansion should be dealt with as a private deployment of troops. Unauthorized mobilization of national troops should be executed according to national law. In serious cases, the nine clans should be implicated."

When everyone heard what the representatives of the three great families said, they knew that they were going to put Qin Huaiyu to death.After all, if the matter of mobilizing the army without authorization is true, I am afraid that even Li Shimin will not be able to keep Qin Huaiyu.

This made Cheng Yaojin a little worried, after all he only knew that he should cooperate.He really didn't know how to sing this big drama.

But seeing Qin Qiong sitting on the chair with his eyes slightly closed, Cheng Yaojin's hanging heart was relieved again.Because he didn't see that Qin Qiong was worried at all, it showed that Li Tai definitely had another move.

"Wei Aiqing, I don't know if Qin Huaiyu's actions have constituted a private mobilization of troops." Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng.

"Your Majesty, this matter probably does not constitute a private mobilization of troops. First of all, the army Qin Huaiyu dispatched is not the regular army of the Tang Dynasty. It is the guard of King Li Tai of Yan."

"Secondly, Qin Huaiyu was ordered by the king of Yan, Li Tai, to escort Baiyin to repay the money to the major families. So naturally he needs an army escort." Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin.

"Then I would like to ask Lord Wei, should His Royal Highness Yan's guards stay with His Royal Highness? They did not have the emperor's decree, nor did they have a document from the Ministry of War to patrol the land privately. Has it constituted a crime of deceiving the emperor?" Three great families The representative asked Wei Zheng.

This time it was Wei Zheng's turn to be speechless, after all, there was nothing wrong with what the representatives of the three great families said.But at this time, the crime of leaving and patrolling the land without permission belongs to Yan Wang Li Tai or Qin Huaiyu.Then it can only depend on Qin Huaiyu's choice.

Seeing that Wei Zheng was speechless, Qin Huaiyu said, "Your Majesty, the Iron Guard Imperial Army was taken away from Youzhou privately by my ministers, and was not ordered by His Highness King Yan. So all the blame is on my ministers."

For the sake of what has been said, even Li Shimin has nothing to do.So he could only sigh and say: "Since you confessed everything, then I can only act in accordance with the laws of the country. I can't ignore the laws of the country just because you are my son-in-law."

So Li Shimin ordered someone to push Qin Huaiyu out of the Meridian Gate and behead him for public display.And at this time, the official Huangmen came to report again.It is said that the queen is seeking an audience outside the palace.

At this time, Changsun Wugou begged to see Li Shimin, and everyone understood without asking.He must have come to intercede for Qin Huaiyu.

Although this Princess Jingluo was not born to the eldest grandson Wugou.But he was brought up by his eldest grandson Wugou alone.Because Princess Jingluo's mother passed away after giving birth to Princess Jingluo.

Therefore, the relationship between Changsun Wugou and Princess Jingluo can be said to be better than real life.Now that Li Shimin wants to kill his son-in-law, the eldest grandson Wugou naturally cannot turn a blind eye.

Not long after, the eldest grandson Wugou brought Princess Jingluo to the Golden Luan Hall.Then he spoke directly to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime my son-in-law has committed. You have to push him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him."

"Don't you want to see Bengong's daughter become a widow? Do you want the child in her womb to become a poor child without a father before it is born?"

"What did you say, Princess Jingluo is pregnant?" Li Shimin stood up in surprise and asked his grandson Wugou.

"That's right, now Princess Jingluo is pregnant with Qin Huaiyu's flesh and blood. If you kill Qin Huaiyu now, it is tantamount to killing their mother and child." Changsun Wugou said.

"I still can't bear it, after all, brother Qin Huaiyu has only one son. If he is really killed, brother Qin Huang will have no heir, and now Princess Jingluo is pregnant. Then I don't have to worry about it anymore." Li Shimin said.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone present was extremely surprised.They didn't expect Li Shimin to be so ruthless. Could it be that the emperor broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime.

But now anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Qin Huaiyu is taking the blame for Li Tai.Could it be that Li Shimin is really planning to use his son-in-law to take the blame for his son?

But at this moment, Changsun Wugou said: "Today, I will see if anyone dares to touch my son-in-law."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wugou ordered the maid beside him to untie the rope for Qin Huaiyu.And pulled Qin Huaiyu to Princess Jingluo's side, and stood in front of the two of them.

It seems that this eldest grandson Wugou is ready to fight Li Shimin to the death.So all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty lowered their heads at this time, not daring to look up at these two.

After all, these two are the masters of the world, neither of them can afford to offend.No matter who you offend, in the end when people settle accounts after autumn, you will not have good fruit to eat.

"You are the lord of the harem, the queen of the mother's world, don't you know that the harem is not allowed to participate in politics? If you keep messing around like this, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between husband and wife." Li Shimin said to his eldest grandson Wugou with a cold face .

"Your Majesty, today I am not participating in state affairs. I am here for my son-in-law to come to the emperor to judge you. Even if my son-in-law is guilty, you will never touch my son-in-law at all." The eldest grandson Wugou vowed Said to Li Shimin.

"As the saying goes, the son of heaven breaks the law and the people are as guilty as the common people. Is it possible that just because he is your son-in-law, I can govern the Tang Dynasty regardless of the law?" Li Shimin asked his eldest grandson Wugou.

"I'm here today to talk to you about the laws of the Tang Dynasty. And I said that you can't kill Qin Huaiyu, which is also the law of the Tang Dynasty." Changsun Wugou said to Li Shimin.

"Stop talking nonsense there, what article or paragraph does my Tang Dynasty state law stipulate. Can't I punish Qin Huaiyu?" Li Shimin asked angrily.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wugou's face was very calm, and he said to Princess Jingluo beside him: "Take it out and show it to your father. Let him know why he can't kill Qin Huaiyu."

After the eldest grandson Wugou finished speaking, Princess Jingluo took out a painting from her body.And opened the painting in front of everyone.

I saw a big man riding a horse holding a double mace on the painting, saving the whole family.When everyone saw it, they knew that this was the savior of Qin Qiong Black Pine Forest.

The eldest grandson Wugou said again: "I don't need to talk about this imperial scene, the emperor should know about it. This is Qin Huaiyu's father, Qin Qiong, the protector of the country, the savior of the black pine forest."

"At that time, when the first emperor bestowed the royal scenery, he said that no matter what crimes the Qin family committed, the Qin family would be exempted from death. I wonder if the emperor still remembers this?"

Li Shimin said: "Of course I remember this matter. This is a death card given by the late emperor to brother Qin Wang. But it can only avoid death but not guilt. Today, Qin Huaiyu's death penalty is inevitable."

"It seems that today the emperor is determined to embarrass my son-in-law. If so, you can continue to look at it." After the eldest grandson Wugou finished speaking, he ordered Princess Jingluo to take out another painting.

After the painting was opened, it was a general holding a big axe, splitting the gate of a temple.He wants to chop the people in the temple under the axe.Fortunately, he won the general with two maces in one hand and rescued the people in the temple.

Others don't know about this painting, but Cheng Yaojin knows it all too well, because it is the ax smashing Laojuntang, the second savior of Qin Qiong.The person holding the ax was Cheng Yaojin himself.

"Does the emperor still recognize this royal scene? This is the royal scene you gave when you ascended the throne, and you have issued an imperial decree. With this royal scene, no matter what crimes the Qin family committed, they will not be questioned." Changsun Wugou He opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"This royal scene was bestowed by me. Since it is like this, the crime of living can be exempted. If Qin Huaiyu is demoted to a commoner, he will not be an official for life." Li Shimin said.

"It seems that today you have made up your mind. Since this is the case, Princess Jing Luo will show another painting for this black-hearted emperor to see." Changsun Wugou said to Princess Jing Luo.

Afterwards, Princess Jing Luo took out a painting again, and after opening it, everyone saw the contents of the painting.The painting shows King Qin visiting Baibi Pass at night, and King Qin chasing King Qin under the moon under the respect of virtue.Three whips and two maces, the horse jumps into the red mud stream, Qin Qiong's three saviors.
