After the miscellaneous matters were dealt with, Li Zhongyi didn't mention how to punish the regulations of the rebellious ministers, and Kong Kun couldn't help but wonder a little.

Li Qiong knew in his heart that Li Zhongyi had listed Dali Temple separately and was no longer under the jurisdiction of the cabinet, just to completely remove the yamen of the trial from the government affairs system.

In layman's terms, Dali Temple is only responsible for Li Zhongyi alone, and no one is qualified to interfere with the judgment power of Dali Temple except him.

The independent exercise of judicial power was of epoch-making significance for the entire empire.

In the history of the Celestial Empire, the power of adjudication has always appeared as dependent on the local government. In other words, with the exception of the death penalty, cases in general are under the jurisdiction of magistrates.

Li Zhongyi's intention of elevating Dali Temple to the height directly under the emperor was extremely far-reaching, that is, to basically put an end to the malpractice of bureaucratic interference in judicial power.

Even the Cabinet has no room to interfere in the trial, let alone those local officials?

This time, the major case of rebellion led by Shi Shouxin and Wang Pu is the first major case after the reform of Dali Temple. If it is said that the officials of Dali Temple judge impartially and in accordance with the law, Li Zhongyi just took this opportunity to set a benchmark for the fairness of Dali Temple's trial.

After sending Li Qiong and Kong Kun away, Li Zhongyi struggled in the inner study for more than two hours, and finally cleared up the backlog of official documents.

Li Zhongyi walked into the courtyard, moved his legs and feet slightly, and when his whole body was loosened, he called Zhang Sanzheng and Gao Qiang and went out of the ruling palace together.

After the suppression of the rebellion, the leading elements were all imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, including Shi Shouxin and Wang Pu.

As for Zhao Laoer, who took the initiative to tie up Zhao Kuangyi to come to the ruling palace and surrender himself, he was locked up in the prison of the ruling palace, and Li Zhongyi had no time to deal with them for the time being.

The Dali Temple, which does not have many people on weekdays, is now overcrowded, and after Li Zhongyi entered the door, he didn't walk a few steps before he heard a series of shouts of injustice coming from the prison.

Nima, who participated in the rebellion, what qualifications do you have to cry out?

Oh, they are all wronged, so Li Zhongyi, a counter-rebel, is it wrong to suppress it?

The officers and soldiers guarding the prison of Dali Temple are all from the guards, and Zhang Sanzheng is holding the token given by Li Zhongyi, and he is in the prison, all the way is smooth.

With the assistance of the jailer, Li Zhongyi saw the haggard Shi Shouxin again in the detention room.

"Brother Shi, I respect you as a man, and I have come to ask you, who is the mastermind behind you?" Li Zhongyi couldn't stand the strange smell in the prison, so he simply asked directly.

Shi Shouxin sighed and said lightly: "If you talk about the mastermind, a certain family counts as one, Wang Pu counts as one, and there is no one else." ”

Li Zhongyi sighed secretly, what a trustworthy Shi Shouxin, this name is really not wrong!

Obviously, Zhao Laoer and Zhao Laosan were secretly planning a rebellion, and Shi Shouxin was just an accomplice, but he provoked morality on his shoulders and didn't want to implicate Zhao Laoer.

Zhao Laosan and Zhao Laosan are brothers, if Shi Shouxin confesses Zhao Laosan, how can Zhao Laosan stay out of the matter?

"Brother Shi, look at this thing." Li Zhongyi took out a confession from his cuff and handed it to Zhang Sanzheng to show Shi Shouxin.

After Shi Shouxin saw the handwriting clearly, his jaw immediately dropped in shock, even if Zhao Lao'er's handwriting was burned to ashes, he could recognize it.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Sanzheng turned the page by page to Shi Shouxin and read the confession, Shi Shouxin's face was extremely pale.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, the heat should be enough, so he smiled and said: "You have been keeping secrets for others, but people treat you as a big fool, Brother Shi, why are you suffering?" ”

Shi Shouxin took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his mouth and said: "The main person who is responsible for the rebellion, apart from me, is really only Wang Pu." ”

Li Zhongyi looked at Shi Shouxin in surprise, he really didn't expect that when he arrived at this step of the field, even Zhao Lao'er's autographed confession was taken out, and Shi Shouxin still refused to tell the truth.

"Brother Shi, you treat others as brothers, and you are like a mustard, not to mention, I know everything you should know and what you shouldn't know." Li Zhongyi's meaning is obvious, Shi Shouxin has been betrayed by the Zhao family brothers, is it necessary to keep the so-called secret?

However, Shi Shouxin simply closed his eyes and refused to speak again.

Li Zhongyi respected him as a man, unwilling to use lynching, and deliberately tortured him. However, no matter how Li Zhongyi induced, Shi Shouxin never said a word, as if he was a dumb person.

According to Li Zhongyi's original plan, as long as Shi Shouxin confesses the truth, Zhao Laosan's crime of rebellion can be regarded as confirmed, and then Zhao Laosan can be implicated.

However, Shi Shouxin, this kid is really a tough guy, even if he is betrayed, he refuses to tell the truth.

That's a bit of a hassle!

After ordering someone to take Shi Shouxin down, Li Zhongyi interrogated Wang Pu alone.

As soon as Wang Pu saw Li Zhongyi, he cried as if he was tired, not only kowtowing like pounding garlic, but also repenting again and again for yesterday's wrongdoing, regretting that he should not be on the big role of Shi Shouxin.

Wang Pu was very willing to confess, but in the confession that was turned upside down, only Shi Shouxin, the intermediate liaison, was involved, and he had nothing to do with Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Lao San.

After having this understanding, Li Zhongyi completely understood one thing, Zhao Laoer's treacherous and cunning has far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

Of course, Li Zhongyi has the means to let Wang Pu bite out Zhao Laoer, but the problem is that it is a climbing bite, and there is no conclusive evidence, so Zhao Laoer can be nailed to the pillar of shame.

What's more, Zhao Lao Er deliberately played a drama of binding his brother to surrender himself in front of many people, and he was afraid that killing him would cause criticism.

Coming out of the prison, Li Zhongyi didn't want to go home for the time being, so he thought about it and simply went to Changchun Palace to visit Du Qinniang.

Since Du Qinniang became pregnant, she and Li Zhongyi have met much less in private. Seeing that Li Zhongyi had just returned to Beijing to see her, Du Qinniang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and simply snuggled half of her body into the crook of his arm, and the two of them got together and whispered.

Li Zhongyi was a little irritable in her heart, and when Du Qinniang saw it, she asked with a smile: "Blame Lang, do you have something to worry about?" If you can say it, say it to the slave family as a joke? ”

Li Zhongyi has always been a very self-disciplined person, and the thoughts of the male protagonist and the female protagonist are extremely serious, so he just hugged Du Qinniang's waist and said casually: "Some things about the military affairs of the imperial court, say it, you don't understand this." ”

Du Qinniang is an understanding person, since Li Zhongyi doesn't want to, she naturally can't continue to ask, just pestering Li Zhongyi to speak.

Because she has been shrouded in the shadow of the Empress Dowager Fu all the year round, in order to survive in the cracks, Du Qinniang's ability to observe words and colors is really good!

Li Zhongyi had dinner in Changchun Palace, Changchun Palace's vegetarian food has always been well-known as a Beijing teacher, and the dishes from the dinner are a vegetarian meal with water.

Maybe there was something in his heart, maybe it was the vegetarian food of Changchun Gongguan that suited his appetite, Li Zhongyi ate three bowls of rice in one go, and then put down his chopsticks.

Seeing that Li Zhongyi was eating happily, Du Qinniang made fun of it and said, "Blame Lang, when the child is born, let the slave family raise it, right?" ”

Li Zhongyi wanted to nod his head, but finally shook his head and said, "No." How can the children of my Li family stay outside without a name and no point all the time? ”

Du Qinniang listened to the man's words that he was willing to be responsible, and in her heart, she was both happy and sad.

Chai Xirang's age is getting older, and it is impossible to be by Du Qinniang's side all the time, she is really a lonely woman!

"Oh, by the way, Kong Kun is about to take up the position of Greeter." Li Zhongyi pondered, it is better to have a little transparency of some rumors, Du Qinniang's mind is very heavy, so as not to let her think cranky.

Du Qinniang stayed in the palace for a long time, and as soon as she heard the three words of the greeting envoy, she immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Blame Lang, you want to be the emperor?" ”

"Concubine, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the emperor is blessed!" Du Qinniang held her stomach up, and she was about to squat down and worship, Li Zhongyi hurriedly stopped her and blamed, "You are pregnant, why do you have to hold on to the salute." If there's a slip-up, it's a big problem. ”

After eating, Li Zhongyi took a break, took Du Qinniang's little hand cheaply, and walked around the bamboo forest in the view.

For pregnant women, proper physical exercise is very helpful for the smooth delivery of labor.

In this era when there is no caesarean section, due to the outdated concept of fertility, pregnant women rarely move, and in most cases, they can only lie on the couch and eat and drink.

If it is a poor woman's birth, because the family is poor, there is not much to eat, and even with a big belly, he has to work in the field.

Therefore, pregnant women from poor families have a lower rate of dystocia.

However, pregnant women from poor families give birth, often because the scissors and other objects used for midwifery are not carefully sterilized, and the chance of postpartum infection is very high, and the mortality rate is also very high.

Correspondingly, in wealthy families, pregnant women eat an unusually rich amount of food and rarely exercise, so it is easy to die of dystocia due to the size of the fetus.

In short, in this era when medicine is not very prosperous, giving birth to a pregnant woman means passing the ghost gate and dying for life!

After Li Zhongyi's inspection, Du Qinniang's condition is still good, after all, he has carefully explained to the subordinates around Du Qinniang that they must exercise more.

After three meals a day, walk around the bamboo forest at least five times, which is about 1,000 steps.

Li Zhongyi had just returned to the capital, and he encountered a major case of rebellion, and it was impossible for him to spend the night in Changchun Temple.

Du Qinniang was bored for a long time, and it was easy to see the man, so she was naturally reluctant to let him go immediately.

Li Zhongyi is not the kind of man who turns his face and doesn't recognize people when he ties his belt, he carefully calculates the time when Du Qinniang is pregnant.

Counting the days, Du Qinniang was just more than four months pregnant, Li Zhongyi had the heart to comfort the beauty, simply hugged her, and comforted her carelessly.

The man has already achieved this level, and Du Qinniang is embarrassed to continue to keep people, so she has to watch Li Zhongyi go out of the palace with a blank eye.

Soon after Li Zhongyi returned home, he suddenly received news from the south that Lin Renzhao had been reused again, and had officially assumed the post of the governor of the three armies of the Southern Tang Dynasty, leading the elite naval division and stationed in Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou, which is today's Jiujiang City, is very important in its geographical location, and it happens to hold the throat of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

After the expulsion of the Khitan Tartars, Li Zhongyi's pace of unifying the whole country was obviously accelerated.

It is obviously impossible to take the Northern Han in the northwest, attack the Southern Tang and Wuyue in the south, and take Bashu in the southwest, and launch a unified war in these three directions at the same time.

Then, it is necessary to choose the best unified order from the three strategic directions.

"Zhang Sanzheng, tell me, attack the Southern Tang Dynasty first, or the Northern Han Dynasty, or the Western Shu?" Li Zhongyi deliberately tested Zhang Sanzheng's strategic thinking ability, and deliberately listed three strategic directions for him to choose freely.

【】 "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the best order of unification is to take the Northern Han first, then take the Bashu, and finally destroy the Southern Tang."

Zhang Sanzheng is following Li Zhongyi's side, the days are not short, and under the influence of Li Zhongyi, he already has a certain strategic thinking ability.

"Oh, what about Gao Qiang, what do you think?" Li Zhongyi did not rush to comment on Zhang Sanzheng's mistakes, but turned his head to look at Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang thought for a while, and replied slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the Khitan people were expelled by us from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, Liu Chong of Jinyang in the north is just a remnant, and he will be destroyed in the near future. It is better to attack Xishu first, and then go straight down the river and break the Southern Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. ”
