They actually drove out all the villagers in eleven villages, burned down the people's houses, and broke the legs of several people.
If not punished, it will have very bad consequences.
However, Prince Li Chengqian also knew some of the reasons why Li Min did this.
Because Li Min came to him beforehand and advised him to evacuate the people, but he did not adopt his advice.
In fact, there is certainly no problem in arresting Li Min now.
Li Min is not even his ally.
But Li Chengqian had to consider what he would think of his father when he came back once he made the decision to arrest Li Min.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Li Chengqian couldn't help but said: "The reason why King Liang did this was actually out of good intentions, but he just did something bad. King Gu thought that it would be better to leave it to his father to deal with it after he comes back.
"
This matter was not easy to deal with, so Li Chengqian decided to hand over the problem after Li Shimin came back.
Wei Zheng said angrily: "Prince, King Liang dispersed the people, burned their houses, and broke the legs of many people. If this is not severely punished, how can the people be angry? How can the mouths of thousands of people be silenced?
?”
"The prince must remember that the king is the boat and the people are the water. The water can carry the boat but also capsize it! The common people must not be bullied! If the prince does not arrest King Liang and does not give an explanation to the people who were affected by the disaster, what will happen?
There's trouble!"
After Wei Zheng, other censors, as well as officials from direct families, also launched impeachments.
They were so aggressive, speaking fiercely, and filled with indignation that Li Chengqian was so noisy that he felt dizzy.
At this time, Li Chengqian was still hesitating. He really didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
Li Chengqian's attitude completely angered Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng couldn't help but take off the hat on his head and said angrily: "Prince, I must remonstrate with you! If you don't arrest the King of Liang, how can I have the face to face those people? Why don't we hit him today?"
Die here!"
After Wei Zheng, the censors also said in different ways: "I will give you my advice to the death!"
Facing this scene, Li Chengqian had a headache. At this time, he simply hated this old guy Wei Zheng.
This old guy is roasting the lonely king on the fire!
Li Chengqian knew Wei Zheng's character well, and if he didn't arrest Li Min, he would probably be able to keep his word.
And if Wei Zheng really died here, then his guilt would be huge.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, the prince finally issued the order to arrest King Liang.
In the end, the prince sent people from Zongzheng Temple to arrest King Liang.
It is said that when a prince breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people. Even if you are a prince, you still need to be punished if you break the law.
Of course, in most dynasties, this sentence was actually just talk.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, as long as the trouble was not excessive, at most it was a scolding.
Of course, superficial work still needs to be done.
Zongzhengji is such a place. If members of the royal family commit crimes, Zongzhengji will handle them.
However, Li Chengqian had already decided that after arresting him, he would hold off and not deal with it for the time being.
How to deal with it? Let's wait until the father comes back before making a decision.
…
Finally with the result, Wei Zheng left the palace and returned home.
Outside his mansion, there were thousands of people's representatives surrounding him.
Seeing Wei Zheng coming back, they hurriedly gathered around and asked, "Mr. Zheng Guo? How are our affairs going?"
Wei Zheng said loudly: "Don't worry. After the remonstrance of my official and a group of colleagues, the prince has sent Zongzheng Temple to arrest King Liang. As for the losses you have suffered, the court will definitely compensate you after verifying them! Now,
You guys go home quickly, it’s a hot day, don’t let anything happen to you!”
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, the more than a thousand people's representatives couldn't help but burst into tears.
After an old man knelt down first, the rest of the people followed him and knelt down on the ground.
"Wei Qingtian! You are truly the blue sky of our people!"
"Wei Qingtian! Thank you for speaking up!"
"Wei Qingtian!"
Seeing the true feelings of the people here, Wei Zheng's eyes were red and moist, and there was an emotion called touching overflowing in his heart.
As long as you wait for the approval of the people, even if you offend the prince, what's the problem?
How could I, Wei Zheng, be so unyielding and unyielding that I would give in to sin?
Wei Zheng couldn't help but ask: "By the way, your home was burned down. Do you have a place to live now? Do you have something to eat?"
What Wei Zheng is now afraid of is that the people's houses will be burned down and they will have no place to live or food to eat. Maybe they will rob them, which will cause a big disaster.
However, after hearing Wei Zheng's inquiry, these common people hesitated and said, "Wei Qingtian, we have a place to live, and we have something to eat for the time being."
Oh, there is a place to live and something to eat!
After receiving this answer, Wei Zheng didn't think much about it, and then persuaded these people to go home first.
After receiving Wei Zheng's guarantee, these people rushed back with mixed feelings.
With the help of Wei Qingtian, King Liang was arrested, and they were able to get compensation from the court, which was a good thing.
But the house was burned down, and even if there was compensation, it would still take a long time to build a house and purchase furniture.
What's more, they still don't know how much compensation the court will eventually be able to compensate them.
And all this was caused by that Liang Wang!
Thinking of this, their hatred for King Liang became even more intense, and they couldn't help but gnashed their teeth and cursed King Liang.
After returning home, the news spread, and more than 10,000 people in these eleven villages breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to Wei Qingtian, they have hope of survival.
If it weren't for Wei Qingtian, their home would have been destroyed, and they really don't know how many people would not be able to survive.
Now, their homes have been burned down and they have no place to live. For the time being, they can only live in the wooden house that King Liang helped them build in advance.
Although this wooden house is simple and crude, with drafts leaking from all sides, fortunately it is summer and it is not afraid of the cold, so it is no problem to live in it.
In the wooden house, stoves, food, etc. were all prepared in advance.
This allowed even the villagers of the first village, who brought nothing out and all their food to be burned by the fire, to avoid starvation in just a few days.
Faced with this situation, these villagers still felt a little complicated.
…
At this time, people from Zongzheng Temple personally went to Prince Liang's Mansion to get him.
At this time, Qing Zongzheng led his people to Prince Liang's palace in person.
Facing the King of Liang, Qing Zongzhengsi was also very polite and said to Li Min: "The King of Liang has offended many people. This is all because of the remonstrance of Mr. Wei Zheng and a group of censors. The prince had no choice but to order the arrest. You'd better come with us."
Take a trip!"
Wei Zheng?
This old man is really full!
I didn’t expect that I would be caught for doing good things!
I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.
