"In recent years, our Tang Dynasty has been peaceful and prosperous, and the people have been law-abiding. However, Ming Chongyan died in Chang'an. This matter must be investigated thoroughly. I request that you order a thorough investigation of this matter and that the culprit be arrested and punished accordingly."

Although Xu Jingzong looked old and frail, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and his words were righteous.

But this guy is Li Zhi's lackey, and many of the times, what Xu Jingzong said was simply Li Zhi's opinion.

There is nothing to investigate about Ming Chongyan's death. Since Xu Jingzong said this in the court, there is only one possibility.

Wang Zheng looked at the ministers of Li Xian's faction who stood up to agree with Xu Jingzong, and couldn't help but sigh deeply. Then he looked at Li Xian again, feeling a little sad.

This disciple who only knows how to be kind has reached the end of his path to becoming the crown prince.

In fact, it is better this way, so that the results can come out sooner and Wang Zheng can make follow-up arrangements sooner. It is already a foregone conclusion, and if it continues to be delayed like this, it will actually be bad for everyone.

The carriage moved slowly forward. Wang Zheng poured a cup of hot tea for Li Xian and Fang respectively. After they drank the tea and got rid of some of the coldness in their bodies and became more energetic, he spoke to Li Xian.

A piece of Baoqing music was played with a mourning feeling, which is almost like singing Happy Birthday in a crying voice.

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, saying, "I know, many people know, what's the point of saying this now?"

When Li Xian was driven out of the Eastern Palace, he took nothing with him except the clothes he was wearing. You have to know that it was early autumn at that time and he only had a thin coat on him.

On the contrary, if a knife looks sharp, few people would dare to test its sharpness, and people would avoid it as much as possible. "

"Why not?"

After Xu Jingzong bowed, he returned to his position.

The sound of horse hooves hitting the stone slabs was heard, and a carriage slowly came over. Looking at the carriage slowly appearing in sight, Li Xian almost cried.

Wang Zheng sighed and said to himself, "There is nothing wrong with being kind, but it depends on who gets the points. Many people think that Tang law is too harsh, but in fact, in my opinion, Tang law is not harsh.

At this time, the family was wearing thin clothes, standing in the snow and ice at the gate of Ye Ting Bureau, guarding a dilapidated carriage, looking particularly desolate.

When these people go to the border areas, they can basically only do hard labor under supervision.

Li Xian looked at Wang Zheng's calm expression, but was stunned, then slowly calmed down, and finally asked with some sadness: "Sir, can you tell me what I did wrong?"

Seeing Wang Zheng beginning to close his eyes to rest, Wu Zetian smiled and said to Xu Jingzong, "In that case, let's leave this matter to Xu Qing's family."

Wang Zheng nodded gently and said, "Let's get on the carriage first."

Three months later, when the first snow fell in Chang'an, Li Zhi ordered Li Xian to take his family to Yuzhou.

Li Xian bit his lips, a trace of blood flowed out, and he said hysterically: "The disciple was wronged. Since you know it, why don't you make the decision for the disciple?"

Li Xian nodded and said, "I understand this principle, but those ministers are also human beings. If strict laws are imposed on them, they will also suffer. Didn't you say that laws should be flexible? Why can't you be more lenient with those ministers?"

Wang Zheng frowned, then just looked at Li Xian quietly, wanting to see what else he wanted to say.

"Do you think that the Queen's methods are too extreme? In many cases, the punishment does not need to be so severe, but the Queen still uses heavy punishment anyway?"

The stricter the law, the more reverent it will be to people. No matter how strict the law is, as long as you don't violate it, won't you be safe? It's like a knife. If a knife looks blunt, everyone will want to test its blade and not take it seriously.

Next, Xu Jingzong directly wiped out the prince's party. Anyone above the fifth rank was exiled to Mobei. Some of them even implicated their families. Those below the fifth rank were exiled to several remote border areas.

Xu Jingzong searched out some bows, crossbows, weapons and armor from the Eastern Palace, and then accused Li Xian of treason. Li Zhi personally ordered Li Xian to be imprisoned in the Eastern Palace and asked Xu Jingzong to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After the dust settled, Li Xian was driven out of the Eastern Palace and imprisoned in the Ye Ting Bureau. He was completely stunned by this blow, especially after he asked someone to pass a message to Wang Zheng and received no response at all. He completely collapsed.

This time Li Xian did not hesitate and got on the carriage directly. Wang Zheng got on the carriage shortly after. He nodded to the old eunuch guarding the gate of the Ye Ting Bureau, and then said to Niu Lao San, the driver, "Let's go to Daming Palace."

As a result, all the music played in the Ye Ting Bureau, no matter what tune it was, became mournful and sad.

Wang Zheng got off the carriage and smiled at the disciple who had always been polite but now had a gloomy and embarrassed look on his face.

Wang Zheng took off his cloak and put it on Li Xian, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's get on the carriage first. There is a charcoal stove up there, so it's warm. Don't let your wife and children get frozen."

"I will not let your Majesty and your Majesty down and will find out the truth as soon as possible."

Li Xian lowered his head and said nothing. Although he didn't say anything, he obviously disagreed with what Wang Zheng said. Wang Zheng didn't take it seriously either. After all, no matter who it is, no one would think that they did something wrong at the beginning.

Three days later.

Those who were exiled nowadays did not have the opportunity to continue to serve as officials like before. After all, the positions in the border areas were occupied by people from Yuzhou, and there was no need for so many officials.

"gentlemen."

Fang was the first to get on Wang Zheng's carriage, holding the baby in her arms. Li Xian stood there stubbornly, looking directly at Wang Zheng and saying, "I didn't kill Ming Chongyan, nor did I commit treason. Those weapons, armor, and crossbows don't belong to me."

Li Xian still didn't speak.

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "That's not the case. If I were to handle it, I might be more strict than the queen.

You should know what it means to break the law knowingly, right?

What kind of people are in the court? Those guys are all well-read people. Logically speaking, no matter their own qualities or their status, they should uphold the Tang law.

But they are the ones who violate the Tang laws the most. Do you know why?"

Li Xian was stunned for a moment and began to think about something.
