Chapter 37: [Overjoyed]
Chapter 37: [I’m too happy]
"What's the matter with Hou Qing?" Old Li asked.
"The prince prayed for the queen's blessing a month ago, and asked for a general amnesty for prisoners and save people into the Tao. Although he was rejected by the queen, the queen was in danger this time, and the prince's filial piety moved the world. I asked Your Majesty to pardon the world to save the queen." Hou Junji said.
After saying this, the officials began to whisper.
Li Chengqian was a little confused when he heard this. This matter was related to him. Why did the former prince come up with such an embarrassing idea?
Faced with the disease, Li Chengqian believed in science and rejected superstitious practices. When the queen was sick, she still went to see a doctor for treatment. The former prince actually wanted to save the queen by accumulating virtue, which was too unreliable.
And this is not accumulating virtue, but doing unethical things. A general amnesty for prisoners is to release criminals in prison. Such a group of extremely large and vicious people will endanger society and harm the countryside after they go out. Where can they accumulate virtue?
It’s better for the queen to understand, otherwise she would have done something unethical to the former prince’s son!
Old Li touched his beard and said hesitantly: "The queen has always disagreed, I am afraid... I have ordered the reconstruction of more than 390 abandoned temples to pray for the queen. Why don't you let someone build more?"
Oh, this old Li is also as superstitious as the former prince. He built a temple and prayed for his wife. This can be imagined.
This Hou was also a little stubborn, and he only praised the prince and missed the contribution of Lao Li to repair the temple. Who would be happy after hearing this?
"Good!" Fang Xuanling stood up and pointed at Lao Li with one word.
Old Li nodded with satisfaction.
Hou Junji said without giving up: "I think that the prince's request for an amnesty can better accumulate good virtues and accumulate blessings for the queen..."
"Don't!" Li Chengqian stood up and shouted.
The embarrassing thing the former prince did was his business, but now the prince is himself, so Li Chengqian naturally didn't want to let this matter fall on him.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in confusion.
Li Chengqian said: "Father, I don't remember what I did a month ago. I apologize to you here. My son believes that this method is inappropriate!"
Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.
There are two reasons why they were surprised. First, the amnesty prisoner was requested by the prince himself, and now he actually stood up to object. However, when they remembered the matter about the prince's gains and loss of souls, it seemed normal to go back on their word. They couldn't help but sigh. Second, this was an act of accumulating virtue for the queen. Even if the prince had gains and loss of souls, wasn't it too unfilial?
Old Li asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Father, the queen of the mother's illness cannot be based on these things, but should let the imperial physicians do their best to treat it, study the causes, find out the symptoms, and prescribe the right medicine. My Tang Dynasty is vast and has a lot of talents, and there are even more hidden dragons and tigers among the people. There are great doctors. My son knows that there is a miracle doctor named Sun Simiao, who has sent someone to find it. I believe there will be news in the next two days." Li Chengqian said.
"My mother has rejected the matter of amnesty for prisoners once. If she did it offends her wishes, she would be very angry when she knew it. It would have a bad impact on her health and condition. We should not do such dangerous things. Moreover, amnesty for prisoners is not a matter of accumulation of virtue, but an unethical thing..."
When Hou Junji heard this, he interrupted, "Why are you immoral?"
Cheng Yasha also interrupted: "Yes, the prince didn't want to accumulate virtue for the queen and said it on purpose?"
"Cheng Zhijie, you..." Wei Zheng jumped out and wanted to start a verbal battle with Cheng Yasha again.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't argue, listen to Chengqian."
Li Chengqian continued: "The amnesty of prisoners is destroying the legal system of our Tang Dynasty. The criminals will be punished the greater the punishment they will be. If an accidental amnesty makes them unable to get the punishment they deserve, it will give them a chance. It is not scary to break the law, just wait for the amnesty. What is the use of the law of our Tang Dynasty? No one takes the law seriously, and our Tang Dynasty will become unfeasible!"
He didn't know if there were any restrictions on the amnesty of prisoners in the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't check the law at this time, so he just said it casually. Anyway, if there was anything wrong, officials would think he was an amnesia patient.
"The people who are imprisoned in prison are people with great sins and evil. If such people are released in advance, they will increase unstable factors to society, endanger society and harm the village. So the son-in-law said that this is not accumulating virtue but an immorality. My mother is wise. She should have seen these two points and disagree with the son-in-law's previous ideas." Li Chengqian quickly flattered her mother.
Because he heard from Hou Junji's words that most of the officials agreed to the former crown prince's idea of amnesty, and later even Lao Li agreed. At this time, he expressed his objection, and didn't he slap Lao Li in the face, so he quickly flattered his mother, so that Lao Li's face would not make things difficult for Li Chengqian.
Old Li sat on the dragon couch on it, touching his beard and thinking about Li Chengqian's words.
"My minister Fang Qiao believes that the prince's opinion is very good!" Prime Minister Fang Xuanling stood up and agreed with Li Chengqian's words.
Then other officials followed Fang Xuanling's tail and agreed with Li Chengqian's opinion. The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth were slightly raised. This feeling of being recognized is really good.
After many officials expressed their attitudes, Lao Li nodded and said, "Okay, according to Chengqian's wishes, there will be no amnesty for prisoners."
Li Chengqian said majesticly: "Father, my son-in-law also thinks that rebuilding abandoned temples is a good thing, but if the money is used in the severe drought-affected area, it will have greater effect and greater public morality, so I would like to ask me..." When he said this, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing across his neck and shivered.
He looked up at Lao Li on top. Lao Li's face looked a little bad. Uh, a bad thing... As soon as he was proud, he said this without even thinking about it. Li Chengqian could say anything he denied his previous request, but the matter of denying Lao Li was to slap Lao Li in the face.
He realized that something was wrong, so he naturally couldn't say anything later, so he got stuck in his throat and made a uh-ah sound awkwardly.
"What do you want?" Old Li asked sinisterly, biting his back teeth.
"Not invited..."
Old Li glared at the eagle.
Li Chengqian changed his words again, "Please..."
Old Li's face turned black and the officials below also began to get some commotion.
"Please...please..."
Cheng Yasha's laughter was very bad: "Hehe..."
Li Chengqian felt the situation was wrong, gritted his teeth and said, "My son follows his mother and knows that her mother is a kind-hearted and kind-hearted charity. She will definitely feel distressed when she sees the people in the severe drought-affected areas. And the gods who live in good temples will not move to the rebuilt temples. It is useless to build them, so compared with the two, my mother will definitely support her father to use the money to save the disaster and let the people survive the drought!"
He said the words in one breath before he dared to raise his head again, looked at Lao Li with his clear eyes, and said, "Don't believe it, Father, go and ask your mother."
