No matter what era you are in, this is no small matter.
Even if he is not guilty, if word gets out in the end, it will be known to everyone on the street.
In this era where reputation is important, unless you are like Li Chengqian, you don't take reputation seriously at all.
Otherwise, I might be worried to death.
But at this moment, when he heard that Li Shimin was going to appear in court in person, Zhang Liang's face turned ashen.
He looked up at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not a big deal. How can I bother you to try it personally..."
It would be better if he didn't say this.
As soon as he said this, Li Shimin exploded immediately.
"It's not a big deal?"
Li Shimin said with a cold face: "Injuring dozens of people, is it a small matter?"
There are records in history books that Li Shimin paid great attention to people's livelihood and trust during his reign.
Otherwise, he would not have become the only emperor in history whose achievements could challenge the status of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han.
It is even less possible to turn cultural integration, national integration, etc. into reality.
This can be seen from his implementation of "cautious punishments and lenient laws" in politics.
During the Tang Dynasty, the rigor of the laws was almost comparable to that of later generations.
Even after a prisoner is convicted, he will have to go through several verifications one after another. Only when conclusive evidence is found can the final trial be held.
In the Tang Dynasty, the death penalty and severe punishment required personal trials by the central court "three times and five times" to avoid unjust, false and wrong cases.
And he left behind a wise saying: "There is no resurrection after death, use it leniently and simply."
If the monarch is like this, then all the people will naturally return to his heart.
Even later, Li Shimin single-handedly created the miracle of four hundred prisoners returning home during the festival and returning on their own after the festival.
This was true for Li Shimin in his previous life. In this life, with Li Chengqian, a patriotist thug, by his side, his understanding of this point will only become deeper.
Just like now.
Seeing Zhang Liang treating the harm to the people as a trivial matter, Li Shimin felt as if he had eaten a fly.
"If so, it's all Little things."
"I might as well ask you!"
Li Shimin slammed the table and said angrily: "In your eyes, Duke Yun, what is a big deal?"
In front of others, Zhang Liang dared to be arrogant and show off.
But he really didn't dare to do it in front of Li Shimin.
Even at this moment, Li Shimin didn't do anything. Just a voice made him tremble with fear, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
And looking at his appearance, Li Shimin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
He did not look for anyone else, but said directly to Wei Zheng: "Master Wei, go and bring everyone here..."
"yes!"
Wei Zheng didn't care about that much, so he got up and left after that.
Li Chengqian on the side did not expect that things would eventually develop to this point.
Originally, his idea was very simple, just to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with Zhang Shan and beat the nobles of Chang'an City.
But who would have thought that this matter would actually come up in front of Li Shimin.
In this case, this matter is no longer a trivial matter.
Li Shimin's status was that of an emperor.
When the matter comes to his attention, it becomes a national matter.
You know, even if the case that the monarch can appear in court in person is extremely small, the punishment will be doubled.
Give the simplest example.
If you commit the crime of theft, the most you can do in the Tang Dynasty is to be beaten and detained for a period of time.
But if you fall in front of the monarch and don't have your head chopped off, it will be considered a mercy of the monarch.
After all, this is where all the eyes of the world gather.
People all over the world are looking at you. Everything you do is taking the lead for people all over the world.
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually quite good.
After all, Li Shimin
His influence is much greater than that of Li Chengqian.
If he can really deal with Zhang Shan, he can keep those nobles low-key for a while in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's expression became much more relaxed, and he even had that cynical smile on his face again.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin on the side was a little unhappy.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Do you think it has nothing to do with you?"
Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian and said, "Why are you running out at noon?"
"As a prince of a country, what is it like to run around all day without thinking about serving the country and the people?"
"At that time, I didn't know how to share my worries and benefit the people of the world. How did you, the prince, do it?"
"Is it possible that you really plan to have fun like this for the rest of your life?"
Li Shimin, who was irritated in his heart, directly attacked Li Chengqian.
And listening to Li Shimin's long speech, Li Chengqian was also a little speechless.
Where did he want to go out today?
It was obviously Li Keqiang who pulled him away, right?
But you can't explain this kind of thing to Li Shimin.
After all, for some things, the more you explain them, the more trouble you will have.
Therefore, facing Li Shimin's scolding, he could only stand there and listen quietly.
But this made Li Shimin even more angry.
Especially when he smelled the smell of alcohol on this guy, he wanted to slap him twice.
People say that the older the son is, the less worry his parents have.
Why did my son do it the other way around?
As a prince, it is enough not to worry about himself, but at such an age, he still thinks about eating, drinking and having fun.
What do you want to do?
Want to go to heaven?
Or is this guy not planning to retire at all?
Fortunately, Wei Zheng came back quickly. Otherwise, Li Shimin, who was feeling depressed, would have to drag Li Chengqian to a place where no one was around, so that he could feel the care and love from his old father.
Looking at Wei Zheng who was saluting him in front of him, Li Shimin gathered his thoughts.
He looked directly at Wei Zheng and said, "Have everyone been brought back?"
"yes."
Wei Zheng nodded in response.
In fact, he had already started collecting evidence and witnesses when he went to arrest Zhang Shan.
Now all the witnesses and exhibits, including the client Zhang Shan, are in front of Ganlu Hall.
At this moment, Zhang Shan was completely stunned.
In fact, it is very common for nobles to violate laws in Chang'an City.
Needless to say, Yuchi Baolin of Yuchi Jingde's family had already done something like kidnapping women on the street.
Even now, the people of Chang'an City are no longer surprised by the nobles' rebellion.
But except for Yuchi Baolin who was mentioned casually by Li Shimin in the court, who has ever experienced being interrogated by Li Shimin in court?
I'm afraid Zhang Shan is the only one in the world.
At this moment, Eunuch Zhou's voice also came from the palace: "According to His Majesty's decree, bring the suspect Zhang Shan!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shan was so frightened that he collapsed into a puddle of mud and was completely dragged in by the palace guards.
Looking at Zhang Shan's cowardly appearance, Li Shimin frowned, turned to look at Zhang Liang and said, "Is this your adopted son?"
Li Shimin spent half his life in the army.
The children he likes are either high-achieving or capable, capable and graceful.
Or he is the kind of person like Cheng Huailiang, who is a bit reckless, but there is a subtlety in his roughness.
But where does this good thing in front of you account for?
Even the words "cowardly as a mouse" cannot describe this guy's cowardice, right?
Zhang Liang naturally saw Li Shimin's contempt for Zhang Shan, and his old face turned red at this moment.
