In his heart, Changsun Wuji has always been a very strong courtier and friend.
But now, he knelt down to himself with a pleading look, implying that he would let Gao Shilian go.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is totally ignorant of what this woman is doing. The old minister is loyal to the empire. Your Majesty, please look into it!"
Gao Shilian also reacted, and immediately knelt down in Li Er's place.
He felt a little rejoiced in his heart, and secretly sighed that his nephew was worthy of being called an old fox.
As soon as he made a move, he killed the concubine Fan Shi, put all the crimes on her, and then begged Li Er to forgive him with bitter tactics and emotional cards.
Based on what I know about Li Er, even if I don't forgive my fault, I will give him a lighter punishment and I won't severely punish myself.
As for the dead concubine Fan, she died when she died, it was no big deal, she was just a woman.
"Oh...you guys get up first."
With a long sigh, Li Er stretched out his hand to help Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian up.
If Gao Shilian was said to be treasonous, Li Er didn't really believe it. After all, he didn't have enough motivation.
It is more likely that Gao Shilian really does not know what the little concubine Fan is doing.
Coupled with the fact that Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were kneeling in front of him, Li Er's heart softened.
"Xuanling, how do you think I should deal with Xu Guogong?"
Li Er sighed and opened his mouth.
The corner of Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched among the ministers, secretly sighing that he was still called.
In fact, people with a discerning eye could already see that Li Er already wanted to deal with Gao Shilian lightly.
Otherwise, he would not have asked Fang Xuanling extravagantly, nor would he have called Gao Shilian Xu Guogong instead of his real name.
Alas, Changsun Wuji's move was really well done. Killing the concubine Fan Shi can put all the charges on her and give His Majesty a step down.
An old fox is an old fox, and he will not be punished if he is killed as a concubine for treason in public. After all, I am still quite different from him.
"Your Majesty, Xu Guogong may not know about it, it's all done by my concubine Fan."
"I feel that Xu Guogong is old, and he died after devoting himself to the Tang Dynasty, so he should be punished lightly."
Fang Xuanling came out, glanced at Yang Fei apologetically, and said what Li Er wanted.
He was also very helpless, but as a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor, he had to say what he wanted when His Majesty needed it.
"Well, what Fang Aiqing said is very true, then..."
Li Er nodded in satisfaction, ready to give Gao Shilian a lighter punishment.
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a cold voice.
"Sentence lightly? Can the crime of treason also be punished lightly?"
"The Fan family is Gao Shilian's wife and concubine, so they should be dealt with together!" Yang Fei shouted in a cold voice.
Do you want to deal with Gao Shilian lightly?Asked for my opinion?
"Presumptuous, your majesty speaks, how can you, a courtier, interrupt?"
"It's not for you to interrupt here. How to deal with Xu Guogong is His Majesty's decision. Don't make mistakes."
Changsun Wuji immediately scolded Yang Fei.
Among so many ministers present, it is estimated that only Yang Fei would object.
Therefore, after Yang Fei spoke, he immediately stood at the high point of imperial power and yelled at Yang Fei.
"Hehe, am I presumptuous?"
"Okay, that general will be presumptuous for a while!"
Yang Fei laughed angrily, his tone became eerie.
At the same time, he exuded a murderous aura like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The terrifying murderous aura made everyone's expressions change drastically and their breathing became short of breath.
"Yang Fei, what are you doing?"
Li Er was furious, and immediately scolded him.
At the same time, the generals present stepped out one after another and approached Li Er to protect Li Er's safety.
But Li Er didn't appreciate it, he kicked Cheng Yaojin who was standing in front of him, and walked towards Yang Fei very dissatisfied.
He didn't believe that Yang Fei would attack him.
"In this war, [-] soldiers of our Tang Dynasty died, [-] were injured, and at least [-] families of ordinary people were destroyed?!"
"If Gao Shilian is punished lightly, the general will not accept it, the general's guards will not accept it, the border guards will not accept it, and the dead souls will not accept it!"
Yang Fei spoke hoarsely.
Think of the tragic situation in which Dunhuang City was almost exterminated.
Thinking about [-] Xiaowei soldiers went out to fight, but only [-] returned...
Under such various circumstances, Yang Fei can be punished lightly even if he does not allow the crime of treason.
Want to take it easy?I disagree!
Chapter 277 The Final Ending of Gao Shilian
Yang Fei's imposing manner was severe.
The vast murderous aura made everyone present palpitate.
Some timid civil servants turned pale with fright on the spot.
It can't be blamed for their timidity, it's because Yang Fei's thick murderous aura is too terrifying.
The murderous aura of the western Turkic barbarians who slaughtered more than 20 people is possible for ordinary people to faint due to fright.
Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian, who were still somewhat fluky at first, became terrified after this moment.
"Yang Fei, stop talking nonsense!"
"Treason is the concubine Fan's behavior has nothing to do with Gao Shilian."
"Gao Shilian is dedicated to the country and works hard. How can it be related to treason?"
Changsun Wuji shouted loudly, his voice sounded a bit annoyed.
He was already a little flustered in his heart, marveling at Yang Fei's political ability so monstrous.
Just now, he said that he would separate civil servants and military generals, and use the general force to oppress Yang Fei and save Gao Shilian.
Now Yang Fei directly followed his example, using the tragic experience of the border compatriots to express his dissatisfaction with Gao Shilian's lenient sentence.
In the same way, Gao Shilian was severely punished to oppress himself with the general trend.
Looking at those generals around, such as Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and other generals, their eyes turned red.
It is probably because of the hardships of the border war, the disappointment of the brothers around me, and the feelings that resonate with Yang Fei's words.
Changsun Wuji understood that even if they hadn't expressed it yet, they were already dissatisfied with his uncle's punishment in their hearts.
If the treatment is light, the generals will definitely have great opinions.
"Hehe, it's irrelevant if you say it's irrelevant?"
"Which law of the Tang Dynasty states that Gao Shilian has nothing to do with it?"
"Where's the minister of Dali Temple who stepped forward just now? You come out and explain the law to the general."
Yang Fei snorted coldly.
He glanced at the officials present.
Finally, his eyes stayed on the Dali Siqing just now.
The man was Wang Youbo, from the Taiyuan Wang family with five surnames Qiwang, and Yang Fei had already recorded him.
Seeing Yang Fei's eyes, Dali Siqing immediately shuddered, his lips turned white and trembled.
"I... I... Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Wang Youbo spoke tremblingly, hesitating and speechless, and finally looked at Li Er for help.
He regretted it to death now, regretted that when he stood up just now, in order to specifically target Yang Fei, he didn't look at Yang Fei twice when he spoke.
Now Yang Fei must want to take revenge on himself!
God, what a terrifying Yang Fei, what a terrifying killer, mother, I'm so scared.
Wang Youbo, who was frightened by Yang Fei, could only ask Li Er for help.
"This……"
Li Er's face flashed tangled.
Just now he had a heart of kindness towards Gao Shilian.
Think of Gao Shilian's contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and Gao Shilian is the uncle of the eldest grandson empress.
For this reason, regardless of whether it was public or private, after being angry, Li Er thought that Gao Shilian's accusation could be dealt with lightly.
But what Yang Fei said was right, if he favored Gao Shilian like this, did he chill the hearts of the soldiers who fought for him?
Datang established the country with military force, relying on the soldiers who dedicated their lives for the country.
If their hearts are chilled, who will guard the world for themselves in the future?Who defends himself against foreign enemies.
Although the war ended very quickly this time, when the conscription order was issued, all regions responded positively.
It can be seen that the retired soldiers are full of love and affection for Datang.
I can't chill their hearts because of personal relationships!
After thinking about this point, Li Er's heart completely calmed down.
He took a deep breath, and looked at Dali Temple Qing Wang Youbo with majesty.
"Master of Dali Temple, you know the laws of the Tang Dynasty better than anyone else, so please tell me what the judgment should be."
Li Er spoke in a deep voice.
All the ministers present suddenly lost their color in an uproar.
This involuntary thought came to mind: Does His Majesty really want to pursue Gao Shilian?
Dali Temple Minister Wang Youbo's face froze suddenly, and he couldn't help looking at Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian.
It was found that the faces of the other two also changed drastically, and the expressions on their faces were extremely shocking.
Not allowing Wang Youbo to think too much, he said in a trembling voice: "The serious ones implicate the nine clans, the light ones ransack their families and destroy their families. If they are important officials in the court and have made great contributions to the country, they can be dismissed from office as appropriate and avoid death."
Wang Youbo's voice trembled a little.
But it doesn't affect everyone's listening in their hearts.
Everyone didn't speak, but turned their attention to Li Er.
Similarly, Yang Fei and Princess Changle didn't speak, but also looked at Li Er.
"Your Majesty, that concubine is dead, Duke Xu really doesn't know about it!"
"Your Majesty, the seductress deceived the old minister, and the old minister really didn't know anything about it."
"Your Majesty, please be aware that my master has never been in charge of business, and he knows nothing about it."
Changsun Wuji knelt down to Li Er again to plead for mercy.
Gao Shilian did the same, and knelt down to Li Er to plead for mercy.
All the people in the Gao Mansion also knelt down one after another, pleading with Gao Shilian.
"The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. If a crime is committed, it must be dealt with."
"If not, what order is there in my Great Tang?"
Li Er spoke in a deep voice.
With a calm face, he turned a blind eye to the pleadings of Changsun Wuji and others.
