Chapter 536 Judgment
"Why, look at your expressions, are you not convinced?" Li Jiancheng tilted his head, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked disdainfully.
"The criminals dare not!"
Xie Lan, Xie Hui and Xie Yuanhuan kowtowed quickly. If Li Jiancheng caught him, he would be skinless and he would be better off.
"Don't dare?"
Li Jiancheng glanced at the three of them lightly and said slowly: "Then what you mean is that you have ideas, but you just don't dare to say it out."
"this…"
Xie Lan, Xie Hui and Xie Yuanhuan were all stunned. They did have such thoughts in their hearts. Can the prince see through their thoughts? That is really terrible!
"I am not talking nonsense to you. Don't tell me about these five families doing business, please don't know, hum!"
Li Jiancheng snorted coldly, and Xie Hui, who was about to argue, was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. After all, he was still a young man, not calm and sophisticated enough. Didn't he see that Xie Lan and Xie Yuanhuan were consciously silent? Since they all know that Li Jiancheng's intelligence is so powerful, what else can he explain, isn't it a waste of time?
"Xie Hui, do you have something to say?"
Li Jiancheng naturally saw Xie Hui's appearance that he wanted to speak but did not dare to speak, so he pointed him out very simply.
"The criminals feel that His Highness the Crown Prince is very much, and they are very respectful!"
With the constant winks of Xie Lan and Xie Yuanhuan, Xie Hui immediately reacted as he thought of Li Jiancheng's methods.
"Then what you mean is to admit that your Xie family is guilty?"
Li Jiancheng's words were both unspicable and unfair, but Xie Hui was stunned and stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to answer Li Jiancheng's words.
At this moment, Xie Hui was also very upset. If he had known to be honest, he would have been beaten and stood firm and admitted his mistakes and sincerely, but he would have wanted to make a case.
Of course, to be honest, Li Jiancheng did not wrongly accuse the Xie family.
For example, there are only one family in the lower world today, and even in the future, equality is an important indicator, let alone in today's feudal era.
Therefore, marriage between aristocratic families is inevitable.
Since there is a marriage, the Xie family has no reason not to know what the other five families have done. Since you know that you don’t report it to the court, this is a crime of not reporting it.
Moreover, the five families sold strategic materials to the Turks. To be serious, it means to understand foreign countries, and the one that is to make up is a crime of treason. Treason is a serious crime, and it is a big problem if you don’t report it if you know it.
Thinking of this, the ministers from six families were all sweating profusely.
If Li Jiancheng takes the opportunity to destroy all their families, he will also give explanations to the people of the world.
While the ministers were thinking about it, Li Jiancheng's face turned upright. The ministers knew that Li Jiancheng was going to start explaining the results of the disposal of these families.
"Turks are jackals! Just like the Huns during the Khan period, their ***trends will never end. They will never be able to feed them. You use the blood and sweat of the people in the Central Plains to trade with the Turks. The Turks in turn use these things to strengthen themselves and come to the Central Plains to plunder the people. Moreover, the Turks do not know ethics and enjoy killing. Every time they pass by, there is no grass or trees, and the chickens and dogs are uneasy. And the people in the Central Plains are even plundered by them, as slaves and servants. Are your consciences eaten by dogs?"
Li Jiancheng's words made some people blush.
Speaking of which, the transaction with the Turks was not dominated by them. It was implemented by the ancestors of the family, and they were just later generations to continue to implement these regulations.
Of course, some ministers disagree.
As long as the money is obtained, what does the lives and death of the people have to do with them? However, thinking so in my heart, I dare not say it out. They believe that Li Jiancheng will definitely take action to deal with them without hesitation.
"However, these things are not entirely blamed on you. After all, this is what your ancestors did. However, now that my Tang Empire has been established, you do not want to repent and still collude with the Turks. Such behavior is really hateful. Since this is the case, the prince can only make up his mind to completely solve this problem."
The ministers twitched violently, you, Li Jiancheng, will be heartbroken, and the sun will come out tomorrow.
"My dear sir, I wonder if you are aware of your crimes? Or do you have anything to refute?" Li Jiancheng seemed very kind and asked about their opinions before making the final judgment on the six families.
Many ministers rolled their eyes subconsciously. Isn’t this nonsense? Under your prince’s lewd power, who dares to refute it?
"Haha, very good. It seems that everyone is very conscious and confesses to the family's crimes." Li Jiancheng grinned and smiled a little. "Then, the prince will be sentenced to the Liu family of Pei County, Xie family of Chen County, Wang family of Langya, Wang family of Taiyuan, Yang family of Hongnong, and Zheng family of Xingyang."
"The five families of Liu, Langya, Wang, Wang, Hongnong, and Zheng, Xingyang, colluded with the Turks, harming the people of the Central Plains, and were outrageous. Now, Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Empire, decided to capture all the five families and confiscate their property. The man was sent to various places as coolies, and the elderly, weak, women and children accompanied him. The court distributed a certain amount of money to ensure that he was born. If there was a resistance, he would be killed without any hesitation!"
Li Jiancheng's last murderous words shocked all the ministers.
Ministers from five families prayed in their hearts, hoping that those children would be honest and believed that Li Jiancheng would definitely take action.
"In addition, ministers who have already served as officials in the court and who are from these five families, who are over fifty years old, will continue to retain their official positions, contribute to the country, and forgive your family for their crimes. If they are under fifty years old, they will be dismissed and wait for the next year's scientific examination."
After this order, the ministers of several families breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they all have a few second- and third-rank ministers staying in the court, and at least their family will not be bullied.
Those who have been dismissed are not afraid, as there is always a chance to take the scientific exam.
Of course, they didn't know that Li Jiancheng didn't want to suppress it too much. After all, the six major families also have some background, and killing cannot solve the problem.
Otherwise, Li Jiancheng directly ordered the [Thunder Elf Cavalry] to slaughter the children of the six families completely.
Therefore, he had to take it step by step. These ministers were around fifty years old, so they would inevitably have some illnesses. Besides, the new system was introduced, and even if they wanted to stay in the court at a certain age, they would not stay there.
"The Xie family in Chen County did not report the information. Those who were in court were fined one year for a salary; the rest of the people were imprisoned for three months and were not allowed to leave the local area, otherwise they would be punished by protesting the order."
Speaking of which, the Xie family in Chen County is the lightest to deal with, and the ministers of the other five families must be jealous, envious and hated!...)
