. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co

What reassures the eldest grandson Wuji is that Wei Zheng is a brainless person, and now he has become the prince and the prince, and he is very attentive to the prince, of course, he will try his best to protect the undertaker, which is not something that Yuan Ziyan can control.

In the first few years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's foundation was still shallow, plus Jinyang raised troops in Li Tang Tianxia, went to Xuanwu to fight blood, and then conquered the Turks, and the main energy of the Tang Dynasty was on the war.

However, as time progressed, the world was calm, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the past hardships were gone, and the ministers, including Li Shimin, began to become lazy. Li Shimin began to pay attention to dress up and pomp, because there are many princes and princesses, the treasury is huge, Li Shimin is the emperor who loves children the most, maybe it is like the psychology of being a parent in the whole world, no matter how hard it is to be bitter to children, he loves them to the point of no return.

In this regard, many people in the palace complained, including the eldest grandson, the queen also repeatedly forced to reduce the food and clothing of the prince and princess, but Li Shimin ignored this, and even said that he could allocate money to the prince and his party from his own share.

To put it mildly, who would dare to lower the emperor's standard of living? So, that's it.

On this day, Yu Wenshi and in order to relieve the emperor's boredom, gave him a rare harrier eagle, the head and abdomen below are snow-white, the rest of the place is dark brown, the color is distinct, very eye-catching, the most peculiar thing is that the forehead of the harrier eagle is still crescent shape, it is really rare in the world.

Li Shimin was very happy, and kept teasing, Yuan Ziyan asked with a smile: "Lord Yuwen, you sent this bird to Your Majesty." Aren't you afraid of falling into the notoriety of inviting pets and flattering and disheartening His Majesty's playthings? ”

"Yo! It's really annoying for me to say that! Yu Wenshi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty works hard for state affairs every day, and there is a minister like Lord Wei who advises directly. This brain is like a taut string, when can I relax for a while? This is really a good thing for Your Majesty to relieve your boredom and benefit the country and the people! ”

"Haha, you!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, of course, laughing at the scribe and the slippery head, but to have such a happy time in his busy schedule, Li Shimin still said happily: "Reward!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yu Wenshi hurriedly thanked him.

"Your Majesty. What should I appreciate? Yuan Ziyan asked with a wink.

"I paid tribute to a batch of cloud brocade before, which is as thin as cloud smoke, so I will reward it to Lord Yuwen!" Li Shimin said casually.

"Sounds like a woman's stuff!" Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

Yu Wenshi couldn't help but smile: "The national teachers have the rare night pearl that Silla tribute. Why did he even rob his subordinates of Yunjin? ”

"And how hot are the things?" Yuan Ziyan looked at the bird, remembered a very famous story in the Tang Dynasty, and said with a smile: "Lord Yuwen, let's do it." Let's make a bet. Bet on whether this bird will survive to this day. If I win, the cloud brocade will be mine, and vice versa! ”

Hehe, Yuwen Shi and Zhile, the treasure given to His Majesty, it is one in a million, health is the first priority, otherwise it will die easily. Isn't it a recipe for death?

"Yes, I'm betting on this bird's longevity!" Yu Wenshi said confidently.

"It's fine. I also followed once, betting on its Kangtai. Li Shimin was also interested, and couldn't help but say in kind.

"Your Majesty, if you participate, then the gambling money can't just be a cloud brocade, you have to increase it." Yuan Ziyan took the opportunity to talk about the conditions.

"Haha, you ghost girl, but what treasure have you taken a fancy to me?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Taishi Bureau has been making pills recently, but the Imperial Pharmacy is not going in and out at will, if I win, I will ask for convenience for Li Chunfeng." Yuan Ziyan demanded.

Oh? Li Shimin frowned slightly, and reminded: "Ziyan, the management of this imperial pharmacy is very strict, and there are often unjust, false and wrongful cases caused by mistakes in all dynasties, why bother wading into this troubled water?" ”

"Your Majesty, the strict record of entry and exit is that these pills not only have health care, but also beauty and beauty, and the production of Chunfeng is very hard, as his senior sister, of course I don't want him to be so embarrassed." Yuan Ziyan explained.

Seeing that the atmosphere was very relaxed today, Yu Wenshi asked rhetorically: "National Teacher, it seems that you will win, if you lose, what will you use to block it?" ”

"How could I lose!"

"There are no absolutes in everything!"

"I have those treasures at home, take whatever you want, except for the night pearl."

"Haha, Ziyan is very stingy, your treasures, except for the Night Pearl, I haven't taken a fancy to them." Li Shimin laughed and said, in a very good mood.

"No, Your Majesty, if the national teacher marries Your Majesty as a concubine, wouldn't Your Majesty get two pearls?" Yu Wenshi said.

Li Shimin was stunned, but he laughed cheekily again, and seemed to be very interested in this gambling. Yuan Ziyan was annoyed that Yu Wenshi and this stinky mouth were talking nonsense, snorted, and said: "I bet that within an hour, this bird will definitely die, and then Lord Yuwen will have to pay me another hundred taels of silver!" ”

"National teacher, you are so confident, if you use spells, you can't count!" Yu Wenshi hurriedly said.

The three of them were joking and joking, and the palace people came to report, and Lord Wei asked to see them. Yuan Ziyan sneered, and looked at the bird again, who was not lucky, who let you meet Lord Wei Zheng Wei who even dared to kill the Dragon King in his dream!

Yu Wenshi and suddenly panicked, cold sweat broke out on his face, and he almost pleaded: "Your Majesty, don't say that this bird was sent by the minister, Lord Wei Zheng's mouth can kill me!" ”

Li Shimin also seemed a little flustered at this time, and he usually reminded Wei Zheng of the antiques, not to mention this living thing! You can't hide from it, and Wei Zheng seems to have encountered something in a hurry, so he walked in without waiting for the communication.

Li Shimin was in a hurry, and hurriedly stuffed the bird into his arms, Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but giggle, causing Li Shimin and Yu Wenshi to roll her eyes.

"See Your Majesty!"

After Wei Zheng flattened his body, his face looked a little surprised, because the expressions of the three of them were so strange. The emperor is too serious, Wei Zheng knows him too well, and when his heart is weak, he will play tricks; Yu Wenshi and that were really empty, sneered and arched his hand at Wei Zheng, looking uncomfortable; The national teacher Yuan Ziyan was gloating, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the emperor's arms.

His Majesty's clothes seemed to be a little untidy today, Wei Zheng was puzzled, Li Shimin coughed twice, and asked, "Aiqing, what is the matter with today?" ”

"Oh!" Wei Zheng came back to his senses and reported: "Your Majesty, four years have passed since the first year of Zhenguan, and 1,752 prisoners have been sentenced to death. ”

"Is this the case?" Li Shimin was also a little surprised, originally the reason for exempting many death sentences and even amnesty to the world was to respect life, how could there be so many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases?

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, the verdict of the death penalty was now made only when the evidence seemed conclusive, and there was no review." Wei Zheng said again.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "In this way, on the day of human life, you should be cautious, in this way, you need to have several performances two days before the execution, and you can only be executed after everything is safe." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The people around complimented him.

Li Shimin still wanted to talk about some life, but suddenly his chest fluttered, it should be that the harrier eagle was suffocating and wanted to break free. Wei Zheng saw the clue, and looked at Yuan Ziyan with some puzzlement, Yuan Ziyan waved his two hands, Wei Zheng quickly understood that there was a bird inside, and his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

"That, is there anything else going on with Lord Wei?" Yu Wenshi and the Phoa Bird were choked to death, and asked interruptedly.

"What's your business?" Wei Zheng asked unhappily, it was obvious that this bird was given by Yu Wenshi, these noble-born adults always like to work on these playthings.

"Lord Wei, don't misunderstand, I really can't make up my mind about some things, and I want to ask Lord Wei for an idea." Yu Wenshi and said with a smile.

"Let's wait until I'm done with Your Majesty!"

Wei Zheng did not have the slightest intention of leaving, and talked about the humane treatment of death row prisoners, even if they are real death row prisoners, many of them are forced to be helpless, but the law is intolerable, but they should also respect their lives, minimize torture, and let them die without pain.

Li Shimin's head was very big, and he kept nodding his head, all according to Aiqing. At this time, the movement in his chest began to slow down, and Li Shimin subconsciously touched it, always afraid that there would be an accident.

Wei Zheng talked a lot about it, even on the occasion of the execution, on the day of the execution, the Shangshi Bureau was not allowed to spend all day drinking and drinking, the Inner Teaching Workshop and Taichang Temple were not allowed to play music and joy, and the family of the deceased had to be taken care of, let alone discriminate against their children, and so on.

Wei Zheng babbled a lot, and Yuan Ziyan yawned when he heard it, and Li Shimin and Yu Wenshi finally wilted, because there was no reaction in his chest, and most of the birds were warped.

Yuan Ziyan also felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, this Wei Zheng was really good enough, even she could see that this bird was so dead that it couldn't die anymore, and Wei Zheng even talked for another quarter of an hour.

Since it has reached this point, Li Shimin cheered up and wanted to discuss the matter of hunting in Qinling Mountain with Wei Zheng, "Aiqing, now the princes are gradually growing up. This kung fu of riding and archery can't be wasted, Qinling Mountain ......"

"Your Majesty, you can also practice riding and archery in the palace." Wei Zheng unceremoniously interrupted Li Shimin's words, and knew what he wanted to express, so he retreated in a hurry: "Your Majesty should not be too tired, let's talk about it another day, and the minister will retire." ”

After speaking, Wei Zheng retreated arrogantly, like a winning rooster, Li Shimin looked at his back, gritted his teeth and stared, but he was helpless.

"Your Majesty, that?"

As soon as Yu Wenshi opened his mouth, Li Shimin took out the dead bird from his arms in disgust and threw it at him: "Where did you bring it from, just bring it back, it's really unlucky!" ”

Yu Wenshi looked aggrieved, but he was also impressed by Yuan Ziyan's accurate prediction, because it was impossible for him to discuss with Wei Zheng in advance. (To be continued......)
