    Chapter 37: [Too happy]

    "What does Hou Qing have to report?" Lao Li asked.

    "The prince prayed for blessings for the queen a few months ago, and asked for amnesty for the prisoners and to convert people into Taoism. Although the queen refused, the queen was saved from danger this time. It was the prince's filial piety that moved the world. I request your majesty to grant amnesty to the world to save the queen." Hou Junji  said.

    After saying this, the officials began to whisper among themselves.

    Li Chengqian was a little confused after hearing this. This matter has something to do with him. Why did the former prince come up with such an embarrassing idea?

    Facing the disease, Li Chengqian believed in science and rejected superstitious practices.  If the queen is sick, she should go to a doctor to treat her. The former prince actually wants to save the queen by virtue, which is too unreliable.

    ¡°And this is not practicing virtue, but doing something immoral.  Amnesty for prisoners means releasing criminals from prisons. In this way, most of the most ferocious and evil criminals will endanger society and bring harm to the countryside. How can they accumulate any virtue?

    "The queen is wise, otherwise she would have been harmed by the former prince's son's evil deeds!"

    Lao Li touched his beard and said hesitantly: "The Queen has always disagreed, I'm afraid I have ordered the reconstruction of more than 390 abandoned temples to pray for the Queen, why not have a few more be built?"

    "Hey, this old Li is also as superstitious as the former prince. He built a temple to pray for his wife. You can imagine this.

    "This man named Hou is also a little bit weak-minded. He only praises the prince and misses the credit for Lao Li's temple construction. Who will be happy to hear this?"

    "Good!" Fang Xuanling stood up and contradicted Lao Li with one word.

    Lao Li nodded with satisfaction.

    Hou Junji did not give up and said: "I think that the prince's request for amnesty will help him accumulate good virtues and gain blessings for the queen"

    "Don't!" Li Chengqian stood up and shouted.

    The embarrassing things done by the former prince were his fault, but now that the prince is his, Li Chengqian naturally didn't want to let this happen to him.

    "Huh?" Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in confusion.

    Li Chengqian said: "Father, I don't remember what I did a month ago, so I apologize to my father and everyone here. I think it is inappropriate to grant amnesty!"

    Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.

    They were surprised for two reasons.  First, the prince himself made a request for amnesty for prisoners, and now he actually stood up to oppose it.  However, they remembered that the prince was suffering from apathy, so it seemed normal to go back on his word.  They couldn't help but sigh.  Second, this is an act to build virtue for the queen. Wouldn¡¯t it be too unfilial for the prince to object even if he suffers from acoria?

    Lao Li asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

    "Father, the queen's illness cannot be pinned on these things. Instead, the imperial doctors should do their best to treat it, study the cause, find out the symptoms, and prescribe the right medicine. Our country, the Tang Dynasty, is rich in resources and has many talents. The people are even more hidden, and there are many miracle doctors.  I know that there is a miracle doctor named Sun Simiao, and I have sent people to look for him. I believe there will be news in the next two days." Li Chengqian said.

    "My mother has already refused the amnesty of prisoners once. If we do it against her will, she will be very angry when she finds out about it, which will have a bad impact on her body and condition. We don't  You should do such a dangerous thing. And amnesty to prisoners is not a virtuous thing, but a bad thing.¡­"

    When Hou Junji heard this, he interrupted: "Why are you so immoral?"

    Cheng Yaksha also interjected: "Yes, the prince didn't say it deliberately because he didn't want to do good deeds for the queen, right?"

    "Cheng Zhijie, you" Wei Zheng jumped out and started another war of words with Cheng Yaksha.

    The emperor waved his hand and said: "Don't make any noise and listen to Cheng Qian."

    Li Chengqian continued: "The amnesty of prisoners is destroying the legal system of the Tang Dynasty. Criminals will be punished as much as they have broken the law. An unexpected amnesty will prevent them from receiving the punishment they deserve. It will give them luck."  Psychologically, breaking the law is not terrible, as long as you wait for amnesty. This makes the existence of laws in the Tang Dynasty useless. If everyone does not take the law seriously, the Tang Dynasty will become unviable!"

    He didn¡¯t know if there were any restrictions on the Tang Dynasty¡¯s amnesty for prisoners, and he had no way to check the code at this time, so he just said it casually. If there was anything wrong, the officials would treat him as an amnesia patient.

    "The jails are filled with people who commit serious crimes. If such people are released early, they will add instability to society, harm society, and harm the countryside. So I said, this is not a virtue but a bad virtue. I  The queen mother is wise, she must have seen these two points, so she disagreed with the idea proposed by her son before." Li Chengqian?I quickly flattered my mother.

    "Because he heard from Hou Junji's words that the former prince proposed an amnesty idea, and most of the officials agreed. Later, even Lao Li agreed.  At this time, when he expressed his objections, didn't he slap Lao Li in the face, so he quickly flattered his mother, so that Lao Li's face would look better and Li Chengqian would not be embarrassed.

    Old Li sat on the dragon couch above, stroking his beard and thinking about Li Chengqian's words.

    "Chen Fang Qiao thinks 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 and came out to agree with Li Chengqian's opinion. The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth turned up slightly. It felt good to be recognized.

    After many officials expressed their attitudes, Lao Li nodded and said: "Okay, I will follow Cheng Qian's wishes and not grant amnesty to the prisoners."

    Li Chengqian said majestically: "Father, I also think that rebuilding abandoned temples is a good thing, but if this money is used in drought-stricken areas, the effect will be greater and the public morality will be greater, so I  Please" As he said this, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing across his neck and shuddered.

    Looking up at the old Li above, Lao Li's face was a little bit good -looking, uh, bad things  just now, even if you think about it, you don't even think about it.  Li Chengqian could say anything to deny his previous request, but to come out and deny Lao Li's matter would be a slap in Lao Li's face.

    He realized something was wrong, so naturally he couldn't say the next words, so they got stuck in his throat and made an awkward sound.

    "What are you asking for?" Lao Li asked grimly, biting his back molars.

    "No invitation"

    Old Li glared.

    Li Chengqian changed his words again, "Please"

    Old Li¡¯s face turned dark.  The officials below also began to make some commotion.

    "Pleaseplease"

    Cheng Yaksha¡¯s laughter was very bad: ¡°Hehe¡±

    Li Chengqian felt that something was wrong with the situation, gritted his teeth and said: "I follow my mother. I know that my mother is a kind-hearted person who cares about the people. I will feel sorry for the people in the drought-stricken areas who are suffering, so rebuild the abandoned ones."  The gods who live in good temples will not move to the renovated temples. It will be useless even if they are repaired. Therefore, compared with the two, my mother will definitely support my father to use the money for disaster relief so that the people can live.  Survive the drought!¡±

    He spoke out the words in one breath, and then he dared to raise his head again, looked at Lao Li with his clear eyes, and said, "If you don't believe me, father, go and ask mother."
