Xia Ruohan saw the two people walking towards him, and whispered to Sima Jiu: "My lord, the leader is Li Yuan, the prince of Tang Guo, and my lord had better not offend him." He is a relative of the Son of Heaven, and he is favored by Confucianism, Legalism and Taoism...... Can't afford to mess with. ”

"Next to Tang Guogong is Wen Daya, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who was born in Confucianism and has a close relationship with Tang Guogong."

Sima Jiu frowned slightly, Wen Yanbo and Wen Daya are brothers, and they are both from Confucianism, and have a close relationship with Tang Guogong, it seems that Tang Guogong and Wen Daya are here to support Wen Yanbo.

And Yang Jishan, who was shouting to shoot rockets at Hui Mao before, has been incredulous since Yang Xuanting appeared.

In his opinion, Yang Xuan, as his brother, should be on his side.

Originally, Yang Xuanting, Yang Xuangan, and Yang Xuanting were not born of the same mother, he did not have the fierceness and courage of his brothers, he could not go to the battlefield, and he could not enter the office.

Unexpectedly, the Li family took this opportunity to take the opportunity to get close to Yang Jishan, and used Jishanxing and the merchant Deng Department to find trouble with the merchant management department.

At this moment, his brother Yang Xuanting got involved, completely ignoring the friendship of the family brothers, and spoke directly for an unknown Dali temple priest, and his attitude and words were sharp, which made Yang Jishan suddenly retreat.

Just as Yang Jishan was about to slip away, he saw Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, and Wen Daya, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, appear, his eyes rolled, and he was ready to stay and observe the direction of the wind.

Tang Guogong Li Yuan was famous, Yang Xuanting did not dare to hold it up, he stood in front of Sima Jiu, facing Li Yuan, and was very respectful.

Li Yuan was dozens of steps away from Yang Xuanting, turned over and dismounted, and before he stepped forward, he laughed.

"Gong Wen, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are confronting each other here, and Youtunwei is also involved, I'm afraid that I will make a big news in the imperial capital! Your Majesty's mood is relieved a little today, and your appearance has made Your Majesty know that you are angry, wouldn't it hurt the civil and military officials? Li Yuan said loudly to Wen Daya beside him.

Li Yuan obviously intended to suppress Yang Xuanting, but he never mentioned specific things, and his words were His Majesty's strengths and weaknesses, which made everyone present admire, and the tense atmosphere eased a little.

"Tang Guogong is right." Wen Daya agreed.

Yang Xuanting made a look, and the martial artist of Dali Temple put away his weapon.

"I've seen Tang Guogong!" Yang Xuan bowed and saluted.

Li Yuan replied: "Congratulations to Lord Yang, promoted to Dali Temple, the Yang family is worthy of being the mainstay of the country, and Lord Yang is also the pillar of the empire." ”

"Tang Guogong praised it falsely."

Li Yuan smiled, and his gaze fell on Sima Jiu.

"You're Sima Jiu, right?"

Sima Jiu bowed and said, "Xia Guan Sima Jiu, I have seen Tang Guogong. ”

Li Yuan stroked his beard and laughed: "The appearance is extraordinary, and in the future, it will become a great tool." Recently, Jiancheng has repaired several books one after another, and praised you a lot, and I can see it today, and the old man knows that what Jiancheng said is true. ”

In Sima Jiu's memory of his previous life, the image of Li Yuan is relatively vague.

Li Yuan rebelled in a daze, and established the Tang Dynasty in a daze, and in the end, he was set aside by his second son Li Shimin in a daze and became the emperor.

However, looking at it now, Li Yuan's bearing is extraordinary, and his words are appropriate, which makes people feel very comfortable.

However, Wen Daya's expression beside Li Yuan was strange.

He stared at Sima Jiu with complicated eyes, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

Sima Jiu was puzzled in his heart, when he was merging the state, he had seen such a gaze in the eyes of Xingwang Zhengang.

Such a gaze is like meeting a loved one, and it is like picking up a priceless treasure.

Sima Jiu didn't reply to Li Yuan's words, just smiled and nodded.

Yang Xuanting saw that Li Yuan was so intimate with Sima Jiu, and squinted his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was pondering.

"The Criminal Department is in charge of the law and prison, and the Dali Temple is in charge of the trial of cases. The Criminal Department and Dali Temple are both the pillars of the imperial law, according to the old man's view, the Criminal Department takes people and Dali Temple to seal the business, so as not to hurt the harmony. ”

"The war in the state has been settled, but the empire is surrounded by strong enemies, horses are important materials in the army, Hui Maoxing has no less than 10,000 high-quality horses a year, if there is a problem with the horse, it is by no means as simple as the loss of money. This matter is very important, and all colleagues need to think about it in the long run. "Obviously, Li Yuan had done his homework before coming here.

He said everything reasonably, even Yang Xuanting bowed his head and was silent, it seemed that he was about to deal with this matter according to Li Yuan's proposal.

Sima Jiu's brows furrowed.

It is impossible to hand over Liu Meiniang to the Criminal Department.

However, Li Yuan's position is so high and powerful that he is far from being able to exonerate himself.

For the first time, Sima Jiu was faced with a major choice.

For some reason, he suddenly recalled the morning when Yang Sujun broke through Pingyao City, and he didn't care about his safety to protect the people of Pingyao City from being slaughtered and get the goodwill of the people.

Suddenly, a scorching breath surged into my heart, and that breath was not like martial arts internal breath, but more like the stubbornness and tenacity that burst out of human instinct.

Sima Jiu had already made up his mind.

He didn't want to cling to Tang Guogong and seek benefits.

Just, what's next? He also wanted to hear the advice of the Kyushu staff group.

"Mr. Xiangshan Lu Jiuyuan: I didn't expect that this Li Yuan was born a little great."

"Group leader Sima Jiu: Everyone, should this group leader follow Li Yuan's proposal? Or do you want to find a way to rescue Liu Meiniang? ”

"Yuquan old man Yelu Chucai: Group leader, the old man just remembered that the name of Yeluji seems to have appeared on the genealogy of the old man's family, and Yeluji is still a successful man."

"Group leader Sima Jiu: Eh, is it? It seems that the owner of this group will have an ATM in the future. ”

"Yuquan old man Yelu Chucai: The old man already understands the behavior of the group leader. The Sui Dynasty will be in turmoil, and you are by no means a person who just wants to go with the flow and rise to prominence in the troubled times. ”

"Never live up to Cao Cao: To be honest, Prime Minister Ben doesn't respect Li Yuan, he reminds me of Yuan Benchu, everything is confident, everything is grandiose, and it is very unpleasant."

"Sword Saint Pei Min: Group Master, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, however, the Tang Dynasty followed the Sui system, and there was not much change. You have a special identity, and with our help, why go with the flow. As you can see, when you ask for our opinions, you have already made up your mind. ”

—————

"Swordsman Jing Ke: Born as a human being, righteousness comes first. How Liu Meiniang treats you, I will see it in our eyes, and I want you to settle down in Daxing City, and I still got it from Liu Meiniang. What should a man do when he receives favors? Ben Daxia didn't want to say much. ”

"General Wang Meng: Li Yuan has the spirit of a king, if you obey him, you will gain something in the future. If you have other ideas, you can also be clear about other plans. ”

"Group leader Sima Jiu: If you say a word, you can read a book for ten years, and the group leader has been taught."

"Only one person Diao Chan: there's a good show to watch."

......

Sima Jiu walked up to Li Yuan and said in a loud voice: "This matter, the lower officials think it is inappropriate. ”

"A guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he dares to contradict Tang Guogong." In Yang Jishan's heart, he couldn't help but be excited to watch a good show.

However, his brother Yang Xuanting was slightly upturned at the corners of his mouth, secretly happy.

Sima Jiu's public remarks against Tang Guogong, if the words are appropriate, it can make Tang Guogong lose face, if it is inappropriate, it also shows that Sima Jiu is not a member of the Li family.

Regardless of the outcome, the Yang family will make a profit.

Sima Jiu said: "The laws of the empire are strict, if there is no real evidence, if you seal the business house and take people, is it not to ignore the laws of the empire." At this time, if the merchant house is closed and takes people, wouldn't it be concluded that Hui Maoxing is guilty. In addition, the Criminal Department mobilizes the right guard instead of Wu Hou to take people, and there can be a military order for the right guard. ”

Li Yuan looked at Sima Jiu, his eyes narrowing slightly.
