Chapter 609: The Son of Heaven's Advice
After appeasing Cui Guangyuan, Qin Jin knew that he would not be able to sleep tonight, instead of waiting for the Son of Heaven to summon him, it was better to go into the palace now to meet the Son of Heaven and see what Li Heng's attitude towards tonight's fire was reported.

After sending Guo Ziyi and Cui Guangyuan away, Qin Jin took his entourage out of the Chinese army and rushed to Taiji Palace. Coincidentally, the eunuch who came to announce it collided head-on.
"Doctor Qin in front?"
The eunuch on that horse had dealt with Qin Jin more than once, and now they collided head-on, and under the light of the torches, they naturally recognized it at a glance.
"It's Qin!"
"Oh! I happened to meet here, there is an edict, please follow the slave and maid into the palace immediately to face the saint!"
Qin Jin nodded happily and asked again:
"I don't know if the Son of Heaven summoned me, but because of the fire tonight?"
It was naturally impossible for the Son of Heaven not to know about such a big matter as the fire, so Qin Jin thought that it was probably not what he expected, and the summons of the Son of Heaven must be related to the fire. Sure enough, the eunuch nodded, his tone a little anxious.
"Doctor, let's go and take a look, Your Majesty is rarely so angry, and you have dropped things today......"
For Li Heng, who has always been good-tempered, it should indeed be difficult to vent his anger when he can get to the point of throwing things. But it's just a fire, is that so?
Under the repeated urging of the eunuch, Qin Jin rode into the palace, and when he saw Li Heng, he realized that the air in the palace seemed to have solidified.
"Imperial Doctor Qin Jin is safe to see His Majesty the Emperor!"
"It's Qin Qing, don't be polite, get up and take a seat!"
Li Heng's voice was weak, as if all the energy in his body had been drained, and Qin Jin got up and sat down in surprise.
"The doctor has also heard about the fire in Yong'an Fang, man-made, or careless?"
For the disposal of the fire, it is inseparable from the disposal of the crown of the doctor of Chaosan, if it is found to be the cause of the crown of the crown, I am afraid that this person will inevitably lose his official position and go to work.
"The facts have been roughly ascertained, it is really because of the carelessness of the guy, and the minister suggests that it should be dealt with in a low-key manner at this time, otherwise when this person's heart is undecided, it may cause a storm!"
"What kind of turmoil?"
Li Heng was noncommittal, and only asked.
"One is the investigation of the relevant responsible officials, and the other is whether the people will spread false rumors about the fire, causing panic among the people. ”
Both of these are top priorities, and the emotional stability of officials directly determines the efficiency of the municipal government, while the people are uneasy, which can only lead to the situation in Chang'an becoming tense again. Since the siege of Chang'an was lifted, the private sector has been disbanded, and many people have gone out of the city to cultivate fields under the organization of the government, so as to cope with the possible food shortage this year.
The First Battle of Chang'an displaced millions of people in Gyeonggi, and a large area of land became ownerless wasteland.
Therefore, whether the people's hearts are stable or not also determines whether the people will support the court with all their hearts.
Li Heng groaned, as if something was hesitating in his heart.
Qin Jin could clearly see that he was preoccupied, but he didn't want to ask, so he just waited quietly for him to fight between heaven and man to see what the outcome would be.
After a long time of hard work, Li Heng tasted it.
"What Qin Qing said is that the fire in Wang Mian's house is an accident and a trivial matter, and there is no need to make a big fuss at all, it is the prime ministers who are too careful!"
Qin Jin secretly thought, it seems that the prime ministers still came one step ahead of him, but in fact, he didn't know that at the time of the fire, Li Heng and several prime ministers were discussing another major matter.
"Your Majesty Mingjian!"
After a pause, Qin Jin continued:
"The matter of Moyan Siluo has already been revealed, and his uncle Yao Ge Bijia said that he is willing to personally ask for the sins of the Heavenly Khan, and only ask the Heavenly Khan to forgive the sins of the Moyan Siluo!"
This news shocked Li Heng's spirits, as if he had just gotten out of the malaise just now.
"Really?"
"It's true, Yao Ge Bijia personally told the minister about this, and His Majesty thinks how to deal with it!"
Li Heng thought for a moment.
"This is indeed the most perfect way to deal with it, that Mo Yan Siluo, kill his prestige, don't be locked up in the Jingzhao Mansion Prison, let it out!"
Qin Jin said that he did not agree to release Mo Yan Siluo immediately, Li Heng felt strange, so he asked:
"Since the medicine Ge Bijia has shown weakness and softened, how can we really investigate Mo Yan Si?"
Although their purpose was to teach the Uighurs a lesson, and to make the Uighurs realize their duties, they had no intention of turning the other cheek with the Uighurs, after all, the two sides had maintained a friendly and subordinate relationship for decades, and it was definitely not wise to offend a powerful tribe at a time when the court needed support.
"Sin can be forgiven, and if you let it out in such a muddle, don't you ignore the law as nothing?"
Li Heng coughed a little, although he did not think much of the law, but he could not openly say that it was dispensable! During the more than 40 years that Li Longji was in power, he was the crown prince for more than ten years, and he had seen too many things that regarded the law as nothing, and over time he did not feel that this thing had any binding force, but all the important joints, the edicts of the Son of Heaven, and the decrees of the government far overshadowed the constraints of the law.
To put it bluntly, this thing is just a written clause recorded on paper, which can be used when needed, and can be used when it is not needed.
However, since Qin and Jin first implemented wartime control in Chang'an, the laws of the Tang Dynasty have been raised to an unprecedented position for the first time, and it can be said that except for him, the Son of Heaven, no one is not within the constraints. Including Qin Jin himself, wasn't he also sentenced to a military stick in accordance with military law?
Qin Jin led by example like this, Li Heng thought that this was his good intentions, and even did not hesitate to cut himself to show the world his determination to protect the Fa.
Now, Qin Jin solemnly stated that the importance of the law could not be shaken, and Li Heng naturally had no reason to object.
"What do you mean?"
"Pronounce the sentence according to the law, and then Your Majesty will grant a pardon and pardon, firstly, to show the justice and strictness of the law, and secondly, to give this grace to Fanbang, how can they not be grateful to Your Majesty?"
This layer was something Li Heng hadn't expected, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed a good idea.
"The doctor's intention is very good, I think so, so I will do it!"
After a brief conversation, the depression shrouded in Li Heng's body decreased a lot, but he could still vaguely see a trace of sadness in his eyes.
"Qin Qing, I always feel depressed today, and my eyelids are jumping endlessly, tell me, what's wrong with me?"
The Son of Heaven and Qin Jin talked about their own unhappy situation, which was extremely rare, and Qin Jin was not a doctor, how could he have suitable advice? But he couldn't say nothing, so he had to comfort:
"Your Majesty may be suffering from lack of sleep, so his spirit is a little worse!"
Then, Qin Jinyou persuaded him, let him not work too hard to deal with state affairs, many things have their own officials to deal with, if the Son of Heaven must bow down to his relatives, wouldn't he have to be tired and tired?
Li Heng smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"Of course I also want to enjoy Qingfu, but time is running out, the efficiency of the officials is not as good as mine after all, if I keep an eye on it from time to time, I am afraid that it will drag out day by day, and it is difficult to imagine the disadvantages in the long run!"
Qin Jin secretly thought, haven't all the imperial courts and government come over like this for thousands of years? Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even after more than a thousand years, it is still this virtue, and it is not much better, people are floating everywhere, and it is already a blessing to heaven to guarantee that no bad things are done.
However, such frustrating words could not be said directly to Li Heng, Qin Jin pondered for a moment before saying:
"Taizong is a celebrity, and he has never bowed down to him, which shows that in addition, there is another way, why doesn't Your Majesty take the law from Taizong?"
Li Heng shook his head and thought about it, there is really no place to refute Qin Jin, it can't be said that Taizong also personally asks about everything, this is obviously unrealistic.
Thinking about it, I feel that something is wrong, Taizong, it is the golden age of the Tang Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers are united, work hard, and the ancestors can naturally rule by hanging the arch, but now is the extraordinary period when the world is in turmoil and the wild is changing, and they can't sleep peacefully unless they are exhausted.
Only by using all his experience in national politics can Li Heng reduce his inner fear and guilt a little, and sleep peacefully at night, otherwise he will toss and turn all night long, thinking crankily in his heart, which is comparable to torture and torture.
I can't see the future days, comparable to the iron rope across the river, people are blocked in the middle of the river on the flat boat, can not go up, can not go down, progress, can not retreat, the taste of which only people in it have a deep experience.
However, Li Heng didn't want to mention these inner pains to anyone, after all, the Son of Heaven was also dignified, and he didn't want to let himself have a reputation of being weak and worried in front of his subordinates.
"Okay, I will consider Qin Qing's proposal carefully, and it just so happens that the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall have also fulfilled their duties, so I will try to let them do it. ”
Speaking of political affairs, the Sichuan character between Li Heng's eyebrows tightened.
"Fang Xuan said to me today that he suggested that all the captured 100,000 thieves be sent out of the customs, I don't know what Qin Qing thinks?"
Qin Jin's eyebrows were upside down, and he couldn't imagine that Fang Xuan and the others were very fast, and their execution was far better than that of Wei Fangjin and Chen Xilie.
"I don't know, what is the reason for the minister?"
Li Heng sighed.
The people of Guanzhong have suffered serious losses, and after the beginning of spring, nearly half of the fields do not have enough manpower to cultivate, and if these 100,000 idlers are raised, they will be consumed day by day, and the imperial treasury will not be able to afford it!"
Qin Jin asked unceremoniously:
"These 100,000 idlers are 100,000 elites to the thieves, once they are sent out of the customs, isn't it equivalent to giving them back to the thieves? Isn't this a blatant enemy? The minister will never agree!"
His position is very firm, and there is no room for relaxation.
Qin Jin's attitude was roughly within Li Heng's expectations, but he still discussed with him:
"The prime ministers also said, you can't learn from Bai Qi and kill all of these, right? I don't want to be the king of Zhaoxiang, and Qin Qing must not be able to learn from Wu Anjun!"
