Volume 1 Into the Tang Chapter 54 A big drama

With a complicated feeling, he went back to the side courtyard, Li Shimin actually asked him to read the results of the investigation at the meeting tomorrow, and thoughtfully took out a book from behind the desk and put it on the pile of account books: "Just follow the music tomorrow, and you don't need to care about the rest."

can name those who are unkind to the rich in the court, to be honest, Li Chengyang is still a little cool, and he also has the hatred of the rich among the small citizens, but in the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person, and he is not willing to send people to the guillotine to watch people die.

However, Li Shimin personally named him, and even said the word help, a father said these two words to his son, and this father is actually the first person in Datang, it is really not easy, and he is not easy to refuse.

flipped through the fold given by Li Shimin, and sure enough, there were many more things recorded in it than found out by checking the accounts, what encroached on the land, and there was a lot of evidence of human life, and there were all human and material evidence, once the fold was handed over, the gods could not save a few people on the fold.

I don't bother to think about Li Shimin's sources, anyway, just treat him as an omniscient divine comedy, the matter has been decided, and it's useless to think about anything else, just let me read the content of the fold a few times first, and the province will stammer and make jokes when I read the fold tomorrow.

I read it softly a few times, and some of the names recorded in the fold also know it, what Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Pei Lin are on the first page, these people are all old ministers, and they don't want to commit so many evil things, so they turned the back, well, they are all supported by strong evidence, even if they are sentenced, they are not wronged.

This awakening woke up many times, as soon as I closed my eyes, I seemed to appear in a vegetable market full of blood, many people around formed a circle, pointing at the middle, Li Chengyang stood in the middle, holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand, slashing expressionlessly, every time he slashed, a head would fall out of nowhere, some knew and some didn't know, and the cavity was sprayed with blood, staining Li Chengyang's body.

Facing up in the morning, Li Chengyang stood in the first row with huge eye circles, he kept having nightmares in the first half of the night last night, and he simply didn't sleep in the second half of the night, got up and turned on the lamp, picked up the music again, and looked at the human and physical evidence recorded on it and kept comforting himself, these people deserve it, and it is not to blame him.

With the little eunuch full of anger to go to the court, Li Shimin appeared under the dragon chair on his feet, and the important ministers bowed one by one, the early dynasty was officially started, and there were constantly people playing some trivial things, and the frequency of major events was not high, and most of the things Li Shimin would also communicate with the important ministers in advance, if there was nothing to do, this daily life was like today, it was some useless nonsense.

Today's Li Shimin seems to be a little absent-minded, with a little blush on his face, and he also gives Li Chengyang a color from time to time, which means that you should almost be on board.

It wasn't until the end that the little eunuch's sentence was played early when something happened, and the sound of retreating from the dynasty sounded, and Li Chengyang had no excuse to drag it out, so he stood up in line and played loudly:

"A few days ago, my father handed over to my sons to check the accounts of Chang'an, and it has been more than ten days, and the results were only obtained last night, and many corrupt people were found out, and they were all recorded in the case after verification, and my father was asked to check it" This is what Li Shimin taught him to say, and he was asked to recite it several times before letting him go.

Li Shimin's face suddenly became serious: "You don't need to read it, you just read it out here, let me see how many loyal righteous people are in this Manchu Dynasty, and how many corpses are vegetarians."

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty heard the words are a stirring spirit, and now the boiling rumors outside have already made them raise their hearts, as soon as they go to the early court, some people look at the thick stack of account books in Li Chengyang's hand and break out in a cold sweat, originally thought that the King of Qin could drag on for a day without speaking, but he didn't expect that the scattered dynasty would come out of this, and the one who should have come is still coming.

Li Chengyang picked up the fold and began to read it, there was nothing surprising, it was arranged like this.

"Zuo Servant shot, Wei Guogong Pei Lone, encroached on more than 1,000 acres of fertile land, obtained more than 30,000 pieces of ill-gotten gains, and accepted bribes from celebrities calligraphy and paintings, antiques and curiosities, etc., equivalent to more than 50,000 taels of silver, and the human evidence is now living in Luoyang as a slave, and the physical evidence is in the mansion of Wei Guogong." After a pause, he said:

"There is also a book of the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda, conniving at the children and grandchildren of the family to rob the people's daughters, and disregard people's lives, and the people's women's families want to sue, and they don't want to die one after another, and now they only have a minor male left in their family, and they now live in the Xishi Inn."

"Then there is the household department Shangshu, Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, who has accepted countless bribes from foreign countries, and the statistics are invalid, but the physical evidence is in the Mansion of the Duke of Song, if you want to verify it, you can go away."

"And ......".

After reading it for a quarter of an hour, it was only a fifth of it, and the officials present who were named were all mourned, and Li Chengyang's mouth was not only talking about the evidence of the crimes they had indeed committed, but also the crimes committed by many children, relatives and others, and they were also added to them one by one, and there were human and material evidence, that is, they did not commit it and had something to do with them, and this crime could not be washed away, so that now, when Li Chengyang pointed to a name, that person knelt down in response, and did not dare to have the slightest argument.

There are a lot of corrupt people in the court, but there are more people who are upright, these people gloated and looked at the people who were named, and sighed that King Qin's new audit method was so magical, which has gone beyond the concept of auditing in the past, and all pointed to the key to the problem.

The people in the front are either high-status or really heinous, and when they read the crimes committed by those people in the back, they are lighter, and the more Li Chengyang reads, the more he speaks, the most difficult time has passed, and the rest of the people are just a punishment for removing officials, or their lives.

A small number of people have already knelt in the court, and there are some who can't come back to attend the court meeting because of official business, Li Chengyang is densely packed with official hats behind him, and the people who knelt down are all dead against the ground, and they don't dare to raise their heads.

Li Shimin turned around, the corners of his mouth curved into a good-looking arc, and then his face became extremely ugly, and he held his breath to make his face look red and red, and then he turned around and shouted: "King Qin, you stop first" and pointed to the ministers on the ground: "You, you really don't know what to say, no matter how difficult the court is, my father and I have ever shorted you a trace of money and food?" That's how you repay me? ”。

took a deep breath, as if to calm himself down: "All of them are old ministers who followed my Li family to raise troops, and there are many officials who have taken refuge in me, how come they have survived the hard days, but now they don't have the hard-working spirit?" It's really annoying to me."

Watching Li Shimin begin to recall the past, the ministers responded one after another, one by one they told how they had shared weal and woe with King Qin and His Majesty, and many ministers who were standing wanted to intercede for their colleagues who made mistakes.

After a long time, the court gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were on Li Shimin's face, waiting for the prince to make a decision.

Li Shimin pondered for a long time: "That's it, they are all old ministers, Lone can be regarded as rising in the end of Weimo, I have even done some of your things, although it was a troubled era at that time, and now it is a prosperous age, but Lone can also understand, and also read our friendship for so many years, King Qin."

Li Chengyang hurried to be.

Li Shimin said to him: "How much have you recited?" If there's less left, read it and tell me how much there's left."

Li Chengyang glanced at Li Shimin, only to see Li Shimin with his left hand behind his back, and found an angle that only Li Chengyang could see, and his left hand was vigorously gesturing his thumb to Li Chengyang.

I understand, this is the gesture that Li Chengyang taught Li Shimin when he solved mathematics for Li Shimin, from one to ten, a single thumb, that is the meaning of ten, in combination with what Li Shimin just said, I have the answer in my heart:

"Back to my father, how much have I read this time, you see, there are still so many that I haven't read" took out the thick ledger under the fold and filled it up, anyway, these people don't know what it is.

Li Shimin was about to laugh in his heart, his son was really unusual, he knew that he drew inferences from one another, he was worthy of the fact that he valued his son so much, and his son did not waste his intentions.

When the ministers heard that there were still so many twists and turns, they couldn't sit still, who hasn't done something bad, even if they haven't done anything bad, occasionally go to a Qinglou to listen to a song, or they have forgotten a little bad thing they have done before, judging from King Qin's miraculous algorithm, everything can be found out, and the evidence is there, if you say the ridiculous things you have done before, it will not be a big problem.

For a time, the people of the DPRK and China were panicked, and the ministers recalled what they had done.

Li Shimin saw that the time had come, and then he spoke: "Okay, King Qin, don't read it, they are all old people who have followed my Li family for many years, and they still can't get this hand, come here, take the brazier."

The ministers were all guessing what the prince was going to do, and some of the kneeling ministers suddenly cried, the prince was going to use the cannon burning punishment in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the rumors were true, didn't this brazier be served, and it was not long before he died.

No matter how much he howled and cried, the brazier was still served, Li Shimin asked people to put the brazier in front of Li Chengyang, and he also walked off the platform and stood face to face with Li Chengyang.

In the shocked eyes of the minister, he took the fold in Li Chengyang's hand, tore it into pieces and threw it into the brazier, and for a while the fire was bright, and the burning paper ashes scattered with the wind.

Li Shimin said while burning the paper: "Okay, they are all old ministers of the Li family, there were too many hard days in the past, and now there are conditions to collect money, Lone can understand, be a good official in the future, don't do these things again, the people who have just finished counting their names have handed over the money in their hands, and the older ones go home to retire, and the Lone who has not been named does not want to know, I have not seen the things in it at a glance, so let the dust return to the dust, I hope you can take this as a warning in the future."

looked at Li Chengyang and continued: "King Qin, your method is really a bit beyond imagination, let you check the accounts, how can you still find out these things, bad for the feelings of our monarchs and ministers, the rod will be punished for thirty boards, and the ground will be suspended for three days, and in the future, put away your method of checking people's background, and you will do whatever you want, do you hear?" ”。

Li Chengyang pouted, he just checked the accounts, didn't you give me the things in this twist, and now put the responsibility on my head, you are good, a good old man, and reluctantly replied: "I heard it, obey the order, huh."

The two left, leaving behind a piece of praise from "Prince Shengming", and occasionally accompanied by the praise of "King Qin Yingming", until they arrived at the East Palace, their faces relaxed.
