In the hall, Han Xizai's face showed worry for the first time, maintained his demeanor, and then made a gesture, and calmly explained: "My lord intends to make friends with the two countries, and he has already ordered that the fourteen states in Jiangbei are not allowed to go north to commit Han crimes. In the past, the north and the south were evil, and the border affairs were chaotic, and they were dumped on the border, causing the two Huai groups of thieves to swarm and flow in the north and south, doing many evils. I think it was the Huaishang group of thieves who had invaded, the Xuzhou Han Army, and I was mistakenly the Tang Army! ”

After saying that, Han Xizai looked like he was restrained again, his eyelids drooped slightly, waiting for Liu Chengyou to react. Since the meeting, Emperor Han's attitude has made him suspicious, and his words have been constantly making things difficult, which is really a bit beyond his expectations.

To be reasonable, Liu Li negotiated peace, which is beneficial to both Han and Tang countries, especially for Han. But Liu Chengyou's performance looks too casual, and he really doesn't care much.

And the expression on Liu Chengyou's face gradually calmed down, still sweeping Han Xizai, but there was a sense of excitement. Xuzhou's report, of course, was improvised and casually recited by Liu Chengyou, but the fact was as Han Xizai guessed, Cheng Deqin broke a group of bandits who were wandering in Xu Huai.

At this moment, Liu Chengyou had no intention of communicating with Han Xizai without much nutrition, and with a flick of his hand, he asked: "Han Gong went north to negotiate peace this time, can he get full power from the Tang Lord?" ”

Hearing this, he realized something, Han Xizai also became cautious, and responded: "The ministers are ordered by my lord to give them the right to make decisions on the spot!" ”

Listening to his answer, Liu Chengyou completely put away his interest, spread out his speech, and said in a tough tone: "Han Gong, whether to make peace or not, I am not here!" Meng Shu went to the old man and I was a big man, and the two sides mobilized nearly 100,000 troops, in order to seek a marriage, Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, still relied on 100,000 grains. Lord Tang won't think that by sending you north, giving me some gifts, and quibbling in front of me, you can seek peace and eliminate old grudges! In this world, how can it be so easy! ”

"I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" Han Xizai asked intently.

is really a smart person, Liu Chengyou is not hypocritical, and responds directly: "Negotiation and negotiation, then talk about it." I sent Tao Gu, a scholar in the middle school, to be in charge of this matter, and the specific affairs will be discussed between the Taoshe people and Han Gong! ”

After that, Liu Chengyou resumed his vigorous and resolute style, and he did not mean to talk to Han Xizai again, and ended the meeting.

"Erqing, what do you think, what is Han Xizai?" Liu Chengyou asked.

This time, Liu Chengyou summoned Han Xizai and specially asked Wang Pu and Wang Pu to accompany him. Faced with the interrogation of the Son of Heaven, Wang Pu immediately replied, and he couldn't help but praise his words: "Generous, witty and calm, it really lives up to its name!" ”

Wang Pu calmly commented that he has some similarities with Han Xizai, they are both gentle and elegant people with outstanding talents. The villain may be jealous, and Yu Wang Pu can't help but have a good feeling, but more curiosity and sympathy.

Wang Pu was on the side, but it just happened to be the case. asked Liu Chengyou, thought for a while, and said: "Han Xizai is a person who has inherent talents, but he has traveled south with people from the north for more than 20 years, and assisted the two masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he has not smoothed out his arrogance." ”

"Wang Qing's eyes are like torches!" Liu Chengyou immediately agreed with Wang Pu's emotion and said: "Han Xizai and I Yan, although they are modest and polite, but between the words, the words are constantly sharpened, and that arrogance really makes people feel uncomfortable!" ”

"Your Majesty, although Taoshe people are good at poetry and articles, if they are opposite Han Xizai and discuss their affairs, they are only afraid of ......" Hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Wang Pu couldn't help but remind him lightly.

Liu Chengyou flicked his hand and was very calm: "Let's discuss it first!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Pu couldn't help but show doubts on his face, thought about it a little, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty is a big country in the south of the Yangtze River, and the two sides are at odds with each other, and the north and the south are facing each other, so that the Han often has trouble in the south. Now that the Han Dynasty is recuperating and recuperating and restoring its national strength, the Tang Lord took the initiative to send people to negotiate peace and restore diplomatic relations, which is also more beneficial than disadvantageous for the Han Dynasty. Is it inappropriate for Your Majesty to be so sloppy to the pseudo-Tang envoys? ”

Wang Pu's admonition was full of caution. Liu Chengyou replied: "I know what you mean, it's just that some things are too easy to get, but I'm afraid that Jiangnan Yelang will be arrogant and underestimate me!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Chengyou's tone turned cold: "I can hear that this pseudo-Tang Dynasty deputy envoy of the Han Dynasty, from the north, has a lot of contempt for my Han style and the people of Tokyo, and is arrogant and self-conscious, and I can't live for a lifetime!" ”

"No wonder ......" Wang Pu thought thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, please go and assist the Taoshe people to discuss peace!" At this time, Wang Pu took the initiative to ask.

Liu Chengyou pointed out: "You want to meet that Han Xizai for a while!" ”

"Your Majesty's Discerning Eye!" Wang Pu complimented.

Liu Chengyou has nothing to do, and he allows it.

Wang Pu retreated, and Liu Chengyou picked up another volume, part of the newly compiled "Criminal System" of the Hanlin Academy, and thirty volumes of legal orders. After the unremitting sorting and elaboration of Fan Zhen and more than ten people from Dali and the Criminal Department, it is indeed much easier to read than before. Liu Chengyou can also read through, and he understands his meaning, compared with the obscurity of the previous dynasty's legal texts, or such simple words, which are more suitable for learning, promotion, and use.

Wang Pu studied astronomy, and after being admitted to the top prize, he has been compiling books and practicing laws in the Hanlin Academy, and he is old enough and knowledgeable, and he soon won the recognition of a cadre of literary talents, especially the respect of the bachelor's commitment to the standard.

This time he was called, but he was ordered to report on the compilation of the "Great Han Criminal Law System", obviously, this was Fan Zhen deliberately giving Wang Pu a chance to make a statement.

Although there have been repairs since the Tang Dynasty and the three dynasties, it is really a meticulous and complicated job to pick up the old laws and regulations again, combined with the current situation, to discuss and delete the old laws and regulations, to simplify the elaboration, to rewrite the format, and to compile the edicts.

It totaled about a year before and after, and then there were talented people like Fan Zhen and Wang Pu, and now they have finally entered the final stage.

When Liu Chengyou reviewed it, Wang Pu stood beside him and continued to report to him: "The ministers have compiled 30 volumes of laws, 9 volumes, 20 volumes, and 25 volumes of laws, and there are still catalogs to be determined. Exhaustively researching the source, the unified compilation, a total of more than 200 miswords in dot painting and righteousness have been corrected. According to the edict, the punishment was reduced lightly, and the crime of being dismissed and re-deported was also redefined......"

"Well......" It can be seen from Liu Chengyou's tone that he is in a good mood and very satisfied.

Raising his eyes to look at Wang Pu's gaze, he became more kind, and said: "The law is the foundation of the world, three generations of soldiers have been in turmoil, and the law book has been lost, so that the law enforcement of the Han Dynasty is lacking. In the meantime, I have a deep understanding of the omissions. The old law is simple and simple, the entries are complicated, and ordinary people have tried their best to read it, but it is difficult to understand it, and it is difficult to understand it, and it is not prosperous in this world. What Qing and others have done is the root of the rule of law in the world! ”

With some emotion, Liu Chengyou asked: "With the current progress, when will it be announced to the world?" ”

Wang Pu replied, more conservatively: "After the catalog is completed, it will be published, and before the beginning of summer this year, you can make a Ming edict!" ”

"Becoming a law is only the first step, it is more important to promulgate and promote, so that the world can be used for Dali and officials, and learn and use it!" Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Wang Pubai said: "Your Majesty is wise! ”
