At this moment, I saw that Fang Xuanling was able to stand up.
Li Shimin felt like he had seen a savior.
He said straight to Fang Xuanling: "Since Mr. Fang has a suggestion, bring it up quickly."
"It's easy to say."
"Master Wei just doesn't want your Majesty to pardon the third prince because of this."
"After all, the crimes committed by the third prince are so heinous that if he is not sentenced to death, it would be an act of extrajudicial mercy."
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "So, Mr. Wei is not wrong."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned.
What's the meaning?
Are you here to tear me down?
But before Li Shimin could speak, Fang Xuanling continued: "But by the same token, Your Majesty is not wrong either."
"I have said it before, even though your Majesty is the emperor of a country, you are still a human being and a father."
"As a father, how many people don't love their sons?"
"And seeing that my son has made such great achievements now, but can't be rewarded, I think I can understand my feelings."
Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin: "Therefore, I suggest that your Majesty record the merits of the three princes in this battle in the merit book."
"If you make meritorious deeds in the future, it can be superimposed."
"As long as the third prince's meritorious service outweighs his guilt, then the merits and demerits will be equal to each other."
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded.
Indeed, this seems to be the best outcome.
After hearing this, the faces of the courtiers softened a lot.
Even Wei Zheng didn't say anything else.
However, Li Shimin was still a little melancholy.
After all, Fang Xuanling was right. As a monarch, it was a kind of torture for his son to not be rewarded for his meritorious service.
Looking at Li Shimin's expression, Fang Xuanling chuckled.
"I know that Your Majesty feels sorry for me."
"So..."
"This time, I deserve a reward." >
Fang Xuanling cupped her hands towards Li Shimin and said: "Although the third prince made a big mistake, his benevolence and filial piety cannot be denied."
"And all this time, Your Majesty has kept him in seclusion in the old palace of the former King of Shu."
"Now that he has made great achievements, why don't your majesty temporarily cancel the confinement order?"
"Allow him to enter the palace to visit his mother and concubine and his father in three to five days to fulfill his filial piety."
Hearing this, Li Shimin's face suddenly lit up.
Obviously, this is the best way to deal with Li Ke's current situation.
And letting him meet his mother is obviously the biggest reward for him.
Li Shimin looked directly at Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji in the hall and said, "Master Wei, Lord Changsun, what do you think of rewarding the third prince like this?"
Hearing this, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at each other.
Li Shimin had already regressed to such an extent that they could no longer say anything.
If you say it again, it will really push you too far, and you might really offend Long Yan.
Although both of them are remonstrators, they are not fools. They will risk their lives to remonstrate when encountering trouble.
Then both of them bowed to Li Shimin: "My lord, I have no objection."
After hearing this, Li Shimin finally smiled with satisfaction.
He was very satisfied with this answer, but who came up with this idea?
Based on his understanding of Fang Xuanling, this guy didn't seem like someone who could come up with such an idea.
"My dear friends, if you have nothing to do, please leave first."
After finishing speaking, Li Shimin focused his eyes on Fang Xuanling and said, "Old Fang, please stay. I have something to ask you."
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling was not surprised at all and stood quietly on the spot.
Wait until all the courtiers have left.
Fang Xuanling just told Li Shi
Min cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty wants to ask who came up with this idea?"
"yes."
Li Shimin deserves it and is happy.
"Your Majesty is an extremely smart person, how could he not guess it?"
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Presumably, Your Majesty just wants to confirm."
As he spoke, he took out a few letters from his arms and said: "These are all entrusted to me by His Highness before he left. If Your Majesty wants to read them, I will bring them to you right away."
Hearing this, Li Shimin's face was filled with confusion.
He looked directly at Fang Xuanling and said, "You mean to say that he made all these decisions before he left?"
"Yes." .??.
"He anticipated everything that happened when he left."
Fang Xuanling said with a bitter look on her face: "His Royal Highness really knows you and the situation of the court too well."
Originally, when Li Chengqian handed those letters to him, he didn't quite believe that the things mentioned above would really happen.
But that’s the fact, nothing is wrong.
And the most amazing thing is that as long as Fang Xuanling follows Li Chengqian's instructions, it will definitely succeed.
Li Shimin was also curious, so he immediately took all the letters and opened them one by one to read them.
First of all, Fang Xuanling once gave Li Shimin advice and asked him to send Li Ke and his Shu army to the battlefield.
Secondly, it was Li Ke's first meritorious service. Li Chengqian expected that someone in the court would definitely stop Li Shimin from awarding Li Ke a reward.
So, let Fang Xuanling say those words.
Then in the third letter, the content above was even simpler.
It is nothing more than an explanation to Lao Fang. After the war is over, there will probably be a debate about Li Ke in the court.
What happened after that was simple, it was all about what happened today and what Lao Fang said.
Seeing these three letters, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
He said bluntly: "This boy really has some abilities. Ah, I even counted these."
"Well……"
Fang Xuanling curled her lips in embarrassment and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you notice that there is another letter below?"
After hearing this, Li Shimin saw that there was another letter under the three letters.
Seeing this, Li Shimin frowned.
He looked up at Fang Xuanling and said, "Is this for me?"
"Yes."
"His Highness said it."
"If the third prince's matter is properly resolved."
"I will give you the fourth letter to read."
"but……"
Fang Xuanling was a little embarrassed.
Li Chengqian originally told him to hand over only one letter, but Fang Xuanling gave everything to Li Shimin.
Isn't this tantamount to betraying Li Chengqian?
You know, Li Chengqian managed to hide his abilities from Li Shimin with great difficulty.
Now, with this guy's actions, all Li Chengqian's previous efforts were in vain.
Of course, this is actually nothing.
After all, Li Shimin knew everything about him.
At that moment, Li Shimin opened the letter and handed it to Eunuch Zhou beside him, asking him to read it to him.
Eunuch Zhou did not hesitate, took the letter and began to read it aloud.
"Father, when you read this letter, the situation on the eastern battlefield must have been stabilized by my ministers."
"I also hope that my father can think about what I said to my father on the day of departure."
"After I return to the court, I am sure there will be big moves."
"As for the specific implementation plan, please forgive me, I cannot tell my father yet."
"My son, I can only say that the consequences of this action will be no less than what happened to the family. My father should have made preparations in advance."
"Son, I sincerely wish you good health to your father, the emperor, and your mother..."
