The civil servants were all waiting for Su Cheng's answer, and they wanted to see how Su Cheng was preparing to review.

Su Cheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think the prince is planning to kill the king or force the king to abdicate. Just ask Hou Junji and you will know! Hou Junji has followed His Majesty for many years, and is inferior and conceited. He knows that he will die and rebel. Although his crime is unforgivable, he is still a passionate man. I think that as long as Your Majesty asks him, he will definitely answer truthfully!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Su Cheng said it well. You can know just by asking Hou Junji! I will go and ask Hou Junji in person!"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I have decided, so don't say more. I just want to see if the prince still has a father-son relationship with me. If so, then I think the prince will not be punished to death!"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if the prince does not have the intention to kill the lord and the father, then what will His Majesty plan to deal with the prince?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Planning for rebellion is a serious crime. In any case, the position of the prince's Eastern Palace will inevitably be abolished. As for how to deal with the prince, Su Cheng, what do you think?"

The ministers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this. They realized that His Majesty really didn't want to kill the prince. They all said that the royal family had no true feelings, but His Majesty was an exception.

Fortunately, His Majesty made up his mind to abolish Li Chengqian's throne, otherwise they would never agree. After all, all the ministers all supported Li Chengqian in the court to kill him. If Li Chengqian was still the crown prince, would he take revenge after ascending the throne in the future?

Therefore, whether from the standpoint of national law or from their own standpoint, Li Chengqian must not be the crown prince anymore!

However, it is not enough to abolish Li Chengqian's position as crown prince. Who knows whether the emperor will make Li Chengqian the crown prince again?

Su Cheng pondered: "Conspiracy is an unforgivable crime. I feel that even if the prince's death penalty is inevitable, I will inevitably be punished by the crime of living. According to me, the prince should be demoted to a commoner, choose a manor to build a high wall to ban the prince, and you will not take a step forward in your life!"

Demoted to a commoner?

A life-forbidden ban?

The civil and military ministers couldn't help but think seriously. Although Li Chengqian was not dead, it seemed that there was no difference between him and he died for the government and the people, and he would never be able to get involved in the throne again. Moreover, Li Chengqian was banned and could not have any connection with the outside world. He could only be trapped in a small amount. He was afraid that he would be completely useless in a few years!

Therefore, the punishment proposed by Su Cheng is not bad.

It turns out that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped.

Changsun Wuji immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Su Cheng said is not a safe solution."

Although he did not have much affection for Li Chengqian, he was the eldest son of the queen after all. It was also a comfort for his sister to make Li Chengqian alive. This was the best of both worlds, so he immediately stepped out to agree.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and others who had not spoken out also agreed with Su Cheng's proposal. For them, Li Chengqian was of course still dead, but Su Cheng's proposal was not bad, so they immediately stepped out to support Su Cheng.

After thinking about it, Fang Xuanling and other civil officials also came out to agree, because they also knew that since Your Majesty did not want to kill Li Chengqian, Su Cheng's proposal was the best proposal, which at least ensured that Li Chengqian could not ascend to the throne again.

In fact, Li Shimin agreed with Su Cheng's proposal. Although he could not bear to kill Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian committed the crime of rebellion after all, and imprisoned him and gave him a generous gift. It was the best destination for him to live his life like this.

Seeing that all the ministers in the court agreed with Su Cheng's proposal, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. This was very good, and he didn't have to be tougher to compete with the ministers.

Next, it depends on whether Li Chengqian is still caring about the relationship between father and son.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I also think Su Cheng's proposal is very good. Since all the ministers have no objections, then come according to Su Cheng's proposal. I will go and ask Hou Junji in person. The rest of the rebels will be tried clearly by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. There must be no fish that misses the net, so let's scatter the court!"

After the civil and military ministers dispersed after the greetings, Su Cheng felt that he had nothing to do. He was about to turn around and left, but Li Shimin stopped him.

"Su Cheng, stay." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"What are your Majesty's instructions?" Su Cheng said in confusion.

"You accompany me to ask Hou Junji!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Su Cheng was reluctant to ask him, why did he ask him to accompany him to ask?

Can't the emperor ask himself? No matter what the result is, Li Shimin can just say what he wants.

"I haven't slept all night last night and fought for a long time. I am so exhausted. I just want to fall asleep now. Your Majesty will give me a mercy and let me go back and rest!" Su Cheng said hurriedly.

Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at Su Cheng and snorted: "When I was fighting in the world, I didn't feel tired even if I fought for a day and a night. Did you fight for half an hour last night? Is it so bad for your young body?"

No? How could it not be? Su Cheng explained: "In order to be prepared, I can be said to have been sleeping at night for many days without sleeping peacefully..."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't know if you want to be clever? What I said in the court is the truth. Gao Ming really has the intention to kill the lord and the father, so I will ignore the relationship between father and son."

"So, just put away your little thoughts! You can go with me, so that you can have a testimony, so that people will say I am partial!"

In history, after Li Chengqian rebelled, Li Shimin did not kill him, but now Li Shimin is likely to kill Li Chengqian.

Su Cheng felt that Li Shimin had a different mentality because Empress Changsun was still alive.

If Empress Changsun passed away, Li Shimin missed Empress Changsun very much, and would definitely care more about the children born to Empress Changsun.

However, Empress Changsun was still alive, and Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with Li Chengqian's rebellion became even stronger, because Li Chengqian was not only unfilial to him, but also unfilial to the queen.

Since Li Shimin said so, what else could Su Cheng say? He could only follow Li Shimin and walk outside the hall.

"To be honest, I have never made any decision on how to deal with Gao Ming. Your proposal is deeply loved by me. I didn't expect you to excuse Gao Ming. After all, you and Gao Ming have always kept a distance." Li Shimin said softly.

He was indeed very moved, because Su Cheng was the first and only one to excuse Li Chengqian, and even his younger brother Li Tai did not excuse Li Chengqian.

He originally thought that the queen would plead for Li Chengqian, but the queen did not. It was not that the queen didn't want it, but that the queen was thinking about him, so Li Shimin was very moved.
