Besides, in the past, the furnace of the Chinese book province was only opened once every three to five days, how could it be like today.

hurriedly entered the lobby of Zhongshu Province, only to find that Lao Fang was not alone, Du Ruhui was also sitting on the side with a pen.

This is even more unreasonable, Du Ruhui is the secretary of the Ministry of War, although there has been nothing to do with the Ministry of War recently, Lao Du can paddle, but he can sit here and help the old house work, the human favor is reasonable, and the legal principle is unreasonable.

After commenting on this chapter and throwing it into the incinerated car, Fang Xuanling saw Li Chengqian.

He blushed and glanced at Du Ruhui before he got up and gave his hand: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the East Palace to handle government affairs, why did he come to Lao Chen?" ”

took out a copy from the folds carried by Zhang Yun, and did not return the salute, Li Chengqian said directly: "You are asking knowingly, these folds are just looking through a few books, and you know that something is wrong." When did my Datang get convicted for his words? It's just a bad thing about the emperor, to be honest, it's a felony to put it on you, and it's wrong to sentence it on the common people, let alone beheading. ”

Du Ruhui found out that the prince was coming, and quickly got up and said: "Your Highness, you still don't ask, but all this kind of twists and turns, as long as you draw a big fork and hand it over to the Chinese book for incineration, if you can judge it, you can directly study and judge, and if you can't judge it, send it over." Just hand it over to the two ministers, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many messes that needed to be burned today, the old ministers would not have been taboo to come over and help the old house deal with it. ”

It can be seen that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both have the idea of making peace with the mud, and there must be a reason for such a situation, but they would rather bear the consequences than investigate the reason? It's weird too.

A butt sitting on a fold that needs to be incinerated? Li Chengqian was dissatisfied: "When did the two of you become such an attitude? Don't even have the courage to investigate the cause of the problem? If you misjudge one of the people in this chapter, maybe it will be the unjust death of an innocent person? When will you be able to treat human life like a mustard? ”

Facing Li Chengqian's questioning? Fang Xuanling sighed, and could only arch his hand and say, "Your Highness? You'd better leave this matter alone? Reason? We all know this reason, but we just don't dare to care. Now the person who dares to manage, a person who goes out of Beijing to inspect the noble industry? A sick in bed? Who dares to squeak the rest of the people? ”

Seeing Fang Xuanling say this, Li Chengqian was even more confused. Although the old house is afraid of the inside, how can it be said that he is also the prime minister, and he stomps his feet except for the palace? Chang'an has to jump, such a person? What else is there to be afraid of?

Wait a minute....

Could it be?

Jumping down from the cart and saluting back, Li Chengqian asked in disbelief: "Could it be?" The reason for this incident is the father? ”

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui immediately turned their heads away? Say you didn't hear it? Nor do I admit it.

But see them in action? Li Chengqian finally confirmed that this matter was the reason for the emperor's father.

"Fang Xiang, Du Shangshu, what's going on! As you have also seen, if you don't solve the root cause, there will only be more and more such twists and turns in the future, could it be that you really plan to burn and play all year round? ”

Because of the words of killing, it is still a matter of killing people, and the old house can't do it, so everything that is not a formal criminal case is sent to be burned. Without the Chinese book province, the performance will be useless, and there will be no way to talk about the reduction.

Du Ruhui also sighed: "Your Highness, in fact, you don't know about this matter, when Li Sikong died last year, it coincided with a "demon case" in Hanoi County. Zhang Yungu, who was a master of Dali Temple at that time, was instructed to inquire about the case, and found that the criminal Li Haode was suffering from "wind disease" and often talked nonsense and said some rebellious things, so he said that Li Haode was just a mentally ill person and did not need to be punished according to the law.

Originally, this was the case, but Yushi Quan Wanji found that Li Haode's brother Li Houde happened to be the assassin of Zhang Yungu's hometown of Xiangzhou, so he decided that Zhang Yungu said that Li Haode did not need to be punished and must be treacherous, so he reported Zhang Yungu to His Majesty. In addition, not long ago, Zhang Yungu was still playing chess with the prisoners in prison, and His Majesty, who saw Quan Wanji's twist, was furious, and directly ordered Zhang Yungu to be beheaded in Dongshi.

Wei Zheng was not there, although Dai Xuan fought with reason, he still failed to save Zhang Yungu, he vomited blood in anger, and now he is still sick in bed. It is estimated that Zhang Yungu's incident frightened officials everywhere, and such a thing would happen. ”

Fang Xuanling said helplessly: "This is not the first time, Lu Zushang was unwilling to go to Jiaozhou to make a history of assassination, and he was not cut down by His Majesty in anger." Therefore, this kind of thing involving His Majesty's mistakes is better to cover up for the monarch. When the limelight passes, it is estimated that such a thing will not occur. ”

After hearing the whole story clearly, Li Chengqian was furious, even if it was related to his father.

No, when you become an emperor, you can really kill people without saying a word? Quan Wanji? That's a villain who tells right and wrong, Li You should kill him, why did he kill someone because of a villain's accusation?

Who said that officials could not play chess with death row prisoners? People who are dying, why not fulfill other people's wishes?

As for Lu Zushang, if he kills, he will be killed, after all, this bastard is at fault first, and Zhang Yungu is really wronged.

Things happened, but Fang Mou was decided, and the most influential of these two courtiers was in the mud.

This can't be done, if the next time the emperor is still angry, he will cut people, cut on you, and others will not intercede, what should you do?

"Fang Xiang, Lone respects you for your invincible strategy, Du Shangshu, Lone respects you for being superb, but today's attitude of your shrinking head and turtle is really shameful! Since you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, then Lone will go to the emperor to admonish his father! This car is borrowed for a lonely purpose! ”

threw the folds in Zhang Yun's arms on the small cart, and told Zhang Yun to push it and enter the palace with him to see the emperor.

The more I understand, the more I feel that Tang Taizong Li Shimin is actually very black-bellied, and he is actually very cruel. Wearing countless halos can't change the fact that he is a person. As long as people make mistakes, there can never be a perfect person like God, and Taizu and his old people will do wrong things.

The prince walked in front, Zhang Yun pushed a small cart and followed behind, and the guards of Liangyi Gate were about to come forward to ask, but they were kicked away by Li Chengqian.

Grandma's, Lao Tzu is wearing the clothes of the prince, except for Lao Tzu in the imperial city, who dares to wear it like this?

walked all the way to the Ganlu Palace, only to be told that the emperor had gone to the Liangyi Hall again.

Although the emperor's dormitory was a manna hall, he came to live there very few times a year.

The anger was much smaller after it was put out in the air, and when he walked to the door of the Liangyi Palace, Li Chengqian remembered that something was wrong.

Lao Fang Lao Du's attitude is very suspicious, although the two of them are not courtiers, they are not courtiers, why do they turn a blind eye to what the emperor does?

Thinking about the large number of pieces of music I received, a feeling of being calculated was born.

Signing up to enter the Liangyi Palace, when he saw the emperor's father looking at him with a smile, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Father, today the imperial court has received a large number of proposed executions of criminals, most of which are punishments for the crime of speech, and a large number of civilians are involved, and the ministers think it is inappropriate. ”

"I know, I've already gotten the news, what's the matter, you're here today to accuse me of not killing people casually?"

Facing the emperor's father's questioning, Li Chengqian suddenly smiled: "If it was just now, Erchen was indeed ready to speak out about the monarch's past, after all, although Erchen's move was unfilial, he was indeed loyal." However, when the retainers saw the edict you wrote, and then thought about the quail-like appearance of the old house, he knew that he had been pitted, and what face did he have to admonish you. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Li Shimin suddenly smiled and leaned back: "Figured it out? Haha, I'm still ready to let you suffer a loss, long memory, who would have thought that you would understand it so quickly. That's right, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and even the six Shangshu are ready to wait for you to speak up and then follow suit! This group of old foxes, they don't have the courage to sacrifice their lives to admonish, they can only wait for the appearance of the big-headed ghost again and again, and when it really can't work, they will bite the bullet, which is already a routine.

You are the crown prince, and you have not participated in politics before, even if they want to encourage you, there is no way. Now that you're also in politics, you don't want to pit anyone. Keep a long memory, don't always be hot-blooded. You are the most likely candidate to be coerced by officials and carry the blame. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin sighed and said: "In the final analysis, I still moved the set in the army to the court, and the army did not obey the order, or cooperated with the enemy, and the punishment was just killing." Zhang Yungu's matter is indeed my fault, the reason why the law is the law is that everyone must abide by it, and the emperor is no exception.

Although the imperial power can trample on the law, but if it is trampled on once, such a thing will occur, so you must remember that you must not act rashly! In addition, I am going to add provisions of the law, which is a matter of human life, and should not be hasty, and should be reviewed more before it can be approved. ”

Seeing that the emperor's father had already repented, especially that there was already an edict on the case, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the emperor holds the power of life and death, the more cruel the emperor, the worse the reputation behind him. Li Shimin in history has already had a mixed reputation, and now he can correct it, and maybe he can save it.

couldn't help but get close to the dragon case, Li Chengqian was ready to see what form the guilty edict was.

The emperor's edict is actually a very serious matter, because it means that the emperor thinks that he has done something wrong, and this still has to be announced to all the people, if the emperor is thin-skinned, he will not write this kind of thing if he is killed.

It's not bad, the writing is beautiful, the attitude is sincere, and the emperor's regret is particularly profound.

This was surprised, and Li Chengqian asked tentatively: "Father, did you write this edict yourself?" ”

Li Shimin was dissatisfied: "Why, I can't write such an article? What is the truth? ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly bowed his waist and collapsed his neck.

After losing his temper, Li Shimin said: "This is written by Ma Zhou, the minister on duty in the province, I found that this person is very literate, and what is more difficult is that his temperament is very similar to Wei Zheng, but he is pedantic. I like this guy very much, although he comes from an average background, but he may be of great use in the future. ”

Ma Zhou, Li Chengqian nodded, this is also a relatively famous official in the Zhenguan period, he is tactful, and he can have a good relationship with anyone, which makes the emperor want to stop, and he will think about it if he doesn't see it for a few days. A person who is good at flattery, but can still obtain the name of "Confession", shows that his personal ability is extraordinary.

It's just that such a capable person has diabetes, which is really regrettable.

"What do you think, why don't you hurry up and go to Zongzheng Mansion to receive the punishment?"

"Huh?"

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded, why did he go to Zongzheng Mansion to be beaten again?

The last time I was sheltered by Li Daozong, I was so painful that I didn't dare to sit on a chair, but this time I came again?

"Ahh This kind of thing of asking for the lives of all the people, the reputation that can be gained is too great, Fang Xuanling and they don't do it, in addition to not daring to annoy me, they are actually worried about the prestige they will gain. Prestige is a good thing for low-level officials, but it is a burden for them. With this incident, your reputation among the people can always be mentioned again. ”

Take a board for a good reputation, or not?

Well, fame is a good thing, there is nothing that is not needed from a commoner to an emperor. But the board is really not a good thing. This time it's helpless, there are quite a lot of acting ingredients, it is estimated that Li Daozong can start lightly....

Frightened to resign, go to Zongzheng Mansion to receive punishment, no matter what the result is, he is the son of the father, the following offense, the board can not escape.

Seeing his son leave, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

It was only then that the eldest grandson came out from behind the curtain with Li Zhi in his arms.

"Your Majesty, how is Cheng Qian's performance?"

"It's already very good, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui must have also used the agitation method, otherwise Cheng Qian would not have entered the palace with red eyes. However, on the way to the Manna Palace, he sensed that something was wrong, and it could be said that he had a delicate heart. This time it was Fang Xuanling and the others who set up a game together, and it was not easy to wake up before the words came out. ”

Looking at the music in the cart, Li Shimin sighed.

The emperor is not easy to do! Being in a high position, no matter what you do, it will cause a series of reactions. What Zhang Yungu did, at most, he scolded him, how could he kill his head directly. He has a strong temperament and knows it, but the people under him are too soft. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui These people, since Zhenguan Year, have gradually lost the courage to speak out, except for Wei Zheng in the imperial history, as always, the rest are also as cowardly as chickens when facing themselves.

This situation must be improved, the emperor is not a saint, he will always do wrong things, and the people below will not advise how to do it.

picked up the guilty edict on the table, and asked Li Jian to send it to Zhongshu and Menxia Province for review, and then handed it over to Shangshu Province to report to the world.

The commotion caused this time is too great, and I am afraid that only the edict of guilt can quell the rumors among the people.

The board of Zongzheng Mansion is still terrifying, and a buttocks flowering squirt has just been lifted out in front, and Li Chengqian on the back foot has also been lifted out.

Touching his ass that was a little numb, Li Chengqian tilted his head sideways and said to Li Daozong: "Don't worry, after those leather bags come out, I will ask Zhang Yun to give you a copy, but you must not reveal it, just say that you bought it in advance at the East Palace for a lot of money, otherwise, if you can't sell it at a good price, I will take everyone in the East Palace to your house to eat and drink!" ”

Li Daozong smiled, where is there still a serious appearance on weekdays: "Your Highness, rest assured, your princess and aunt know the stakes, and after your auction starts, you will take it out to show off, and it is already very good to get it in advance." ”

Knowing that this guy is old-hearted and plans to take another concubine, he must not bribe his wife at home with a need for a gift, and Li Chengqian is also happy to give a gift.

A leopard skin bag can offset a meal of boards, and it's worth it!

When the talent came out of Zongzhengfu, Li Chengqian shouted at the top of his voice.

The two eunuchs arranged by Li Daozong were also smart people, and they did not take a short approach, but carried the prince around the imperial city as if he was lost.

Standing at the door and watching the prince scream from a distance, Du Ruhui couldn't help but ask: "Old Fang, did you say that the prince noticed our thoughts?" ”

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said, "How do you notice it?" What if you don't notice it? Now His Majesty has taken back all the military power in his hands, and Shangshu Province is in his hands because of the Qiandi period, and now it is completely controlled by him. If we want to live a good life, we can't touch the mold. Dai Xuan was sick in bed, and although he is now cured, he refused to go on a mission because of Zhang Yungu's anger. Lao Wei Tou also went home for two days during the Chinese New Year, and spent the rest of his time inspecting the Xungui family's property. These two people are not there, who dares to touch the scales? ”

"That's what I said, but let's make the prince a little miserable this time."

"This is the world of their Li family, who will suffer if he doesn't suffer? It is a good thing that a beating can be exchanged for the praise of all the people. You see, isn't Your Majesty's will come out? ”

Pointing at Li Jian, Fang Xuanling went back to the house to continue to deal with the twists and turns, while Du Ruhui turned his head and left. Helping the old house deal with government affairs, the prince saw that it was nothing, and the emperor knew that it was a big deal.

As soon as Li Chengqian arrived at the East Palace, the emperor's edict began to be posted in Chang'an, and many knights rushed to various places with the edict.

At the same time, new laws were introduced.

"From now on, it is advisable to repeat the execution of death row prisoners in the Beijing Divisions five times in two days, three times in all the prefectures under the world, five times in the Beijing Division, and three times in the local prefectures and counties.

The repetition must not be too fast, it must be performed every other day, and the five recitals are repeated twice the day before the execution, and three times on the same day; The three recitals were repeated once the day before the execution, and twice on the same day.

Only those who have committed the crime of murdering grandparents, parents, or other relatives and elders may be executed once.

On the day of the execution, the emperor did not eat meat, did not drink alcohol, did not listen to music, and did not watch dance, in order to show the emperor's compassion. ”

At the same time, Zhang Yungu's grievances were also rehabilitated, and the emperor said that he would personally pay tribute to him to show remorse, and at the same time posthumously presented Zhang Yungu as Dali Temple, nicknamed "Zhen".

Being able to trade one life for an increase in the law is worth it in the eyes of many. As for the emperor's wrongful killing, the mourning glory after the pacification has been earned. Even Zhang Yungu's eldest son thanked the emperor for his posthumous remarks.

It is a great victory to make the emperor admit his mistake.

As for the prince's outspoken father, many people of insight have sighed: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and His Royal Highness's unfilial piety is a great filial piety when looking at the world..."

Lying on the bed pretending to be sick, eating the raisins that Xiuxiu fed to his mouth, while looking at the information sent by the secret guard, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say.

Carrying the black pot can also carry a great filial piety, which is really speechless.
