Late at night, Xingqing Mansion was already under martial law.
The entire Great Xia Empire has gone to sleep, but on the streets of Xingqing Mansion, a royal guard is heading towards the prison, led by Li Liangzuo's close attendant Xiao Zhuozi, after coming to the gate of the prison, Xiao Zhuozi took out a token and let the guards look at it without saying anything, and went in directly.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Zhuozi came out, on the surface the number of people in the team has not changed, but in fact the people have changed, one of the guards who walked in the front was replaced by Li Qing, this was a secret escort, the order came from Li Liangzuo, and the destination that Li Qing was escorted to was the palace of the Great Xia Empire.
In the imperial study, Li Liangzuo looked at the sky outside with his hands behind his back, as the ruler of the Great Xia Empire, in fact, Li Liangzuo was lonely, and many times even if Li Liangzuo wanted to do many things, he had to hide them from the people of the world; Just like Li Qing's matter this time, Li Liangzuo is a king and a father at the same time, although Li Qing committed a capital crime, Li Liangzuo did not want to execute Li Qing, but there must be a criterion for all this.
"The son visits his father."
Li Qing walked into the imperial study and bowed to Li Liangzuo.
At this time, there were only Li Liangzuo and Li Qing father and son in the entire imperial study, and there was no one within ten zhang of the entire imperial study, Li Liangzuo did not speak, Li Qing kept kneeling there, and Li Liangzuo said after about half an hour: "Get up" Li Qing's legs were numb, and he stood up with difficulty, Li Liangzuo walked to Li Qing's side and asked, "Do you know what mistakes you made?"
"The son is guilty, please punish the father."
Li Qing lowered his head and said.
"Slap" Li Liangzuo slapped Li Qing in the face, so that Li Qing was not prepared in the slightest, Li Qing was directly slapped to the ground, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth; Li Liangzuo roared angrily: "If you know what crime you have committed, then you still commit it, do you still have my father in your eyes, you have the final say in this Great Xia Empire, or I have the final say" Li Liangzuo scolded angrily while punching and kicking Li Qing, and after venting most of his anger, Li Liangzuo slipped Li Qingti up and walked to the dragon case and said: "Look at these bad things you have done yourself, do you think I don't know anything about it?"
There is a stack of ledgers on Li Liangzuo's dragon case, what is recorded in these ledgers is all the things about Li Qing, even what meals are eaten every day, there is a clear record on the top of the chef's spoon, Li Qing is shocked and scared when he sees all this, Li Liangzuo can get these to show a problem, that is, there is even more than one secret agent by his side, and Li Qing has not escaped the surveillance and control of his father from beginning to end.
"Didn't you notice why everything you did went so smoothly, if I hadn't checked for you in the back, you would have been in a different place earlier, you know" Li Liangzuo continued to reprimand.
Li Qing stopped talking, and Li Liangzuo continued to ask Li Qing: "I ask you, are you ambitious?"
"Erchen has no ambitions."
"If you don't have ambition, then what are you recruiting for privately, don't you want to be able to do it one day?"
"Father, the son has never thought of such a non-division, please ask the father to see" "It's just us father and son here, why don't you want to tell me the truth?"
"What the son said is true."
"Well, I'm sure you're telling the truth."
Li Liangzuo continued; "Then you tell me, what are you recruiting troops and attacking Liao for privately?"
"Erchen wants his father to know that Erchen is no worse than his brothers, and they can lead troops to fight Erchen, but what Erchen lacks is only the opportunity to fight in a large army; Erchen never thought of competing with the eldest brother and the second brother for the crown prince, Erchen only wanted to defend one side for the Great Xia Empire.
Li Qing said impassionedly.
"Qing'er, if one day I die, and you have a heavy army, and the crown prince ascends the throne and wants to weaken the strength of the vassal king, what will you do, whether to support the army and respect yourself, or to raise troops to rebel, or to hand over the military power and be a free prince."
"Erchen will support his own army and divide one side, and if possible, Erchen will even want to take his army to go away."
"Tell me why" "Erchen has self-knowledge, and it is okay to let Erchen lead the troops to fight and defend one side, but if Erchen is allowed to ascend the throne as the emperor, Erchen does not have this ability, and that position should not belong to Erchen, as for going away, Erchen believes that he can play a world of his own with his own ability, so that Erchen does not have to conflict with his brothers."
Li Liangzuo was quite satisfied with Li Qing's explanation, but Li Liangzuo also knew that Li Qing did not tell himself the truth, Li Liangzuo did not believe that Li Qing did not want to ascend the throne as the emperor, but Li Qing was still relatively sober and wise, he knew that he was too far away from the dragon chair, instead of intriguing to sit in the world left by Lao Tzu, it was better to lay down a world that really belonged to him, Li Qing wanted to fundamentally break away from Li Liangzuo's control, he didn't like the feeling of being bound.
"You've grown up and your wings are stiff, you should learn to walk on your own, go back," Li Liangzuo patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said; "Come on, send Li Qing back to prison."
The next morning, morning pilgrimage.
Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair and ordered: "Come on, escort Li Qing in." ” After Li Qing was escorted in, he bowed down to Li Liangzuo and said vaguely: "Son-in-law Li Qing greets his father, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
The ministers looked at Li Qing's appearance and felt very funny, at this time Li Qing was a pig's head; Li Liangzuo said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, what the king of Guangyang has committed, I don't say that all the ministers know about it, and I wanted to put him to death; But the ministers said that they should be interrogated first, and in that case, they should wait for the king of Guangyang to summon all the things according to the law; Li Xiaoren, King of Chu, Zhou Wentai, Deputy Envoy of the Executive Yuan, Gao Huaizheng, Envoy of the Judicial Yuan, and Gao Wei, Deputy Military Affairs Envoy, I authorize the four of you to conduct four sessions on behalf of the Internal Affairs Office, the Executive Yuan, the Judicial Yuan, and the Military Affairs Yuan. ” "Ministers obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live" "Retreat" After retiring from the dynasty, Li Qing was escorted to the cabinet hall and interrogated by four chief judges, after all, Li Qing is still the title of county king, so Li Qing was seated when he was interrogated, this is a case that is difficult to interrogate, the four can only say that Li Qing is questioning, and cannot be tortured to extract confessions, after all, where is Li Qing's identity "Li Qing, this king asks you, do you admit the fact that you recruited soldiers privately" Li Xiaoren asked Li Qing.
Li Qing immediately objected: "This king does not admit it, this king did not recruit troops privately. ” "Bold Li Qing, at this time, you still dare to quibble, this king asks you, if you didn't recruit soldiers privately, how did the 50,000 soldiers come from" Li Xiaoren said angrily.
"That's the king's guard."
Li Qing said.
"How can there be so many government soldiers and guards?"
"The Tiansheng Law and the Clan Law and the edict of the father and the emperor do not clearly stipulate the number of soldiers and guards in the vassal king's palace, but it only says that all the expenses are borne by the vassal king himself, as long as the king can afford it, the king is to train a million army, which is also legal."
