Chapter 52: Invite the Lone King to Judge the Case

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling's Chen Qing Zuo Shu and was upset, put down the Juanshu in his hand, got up and walked outside, and lay on the recliner to rest.

As soon as Li Shimin looked up, he saw the painting that Li Chengqian had written for him, and Li Shimin liked this character very much, so he asked people to hang it in a place where he could see it when he was resting.

Li Shimin read the words for a while, and then picked up a book from the coffee table next to him, this book is one of the "Notes on the Four Books Collection" annotated by Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin has been reading this set of books whenever he has leisure these days.

"Your Majesty, Cen Zhongshu asks to see you!" An inner attendant.

"Let him in." Li Shimin is still lying on the recliner reading a book.

Cen Wenwen has been by Li Shimin's side since he came out, from the secretary Lang, Zhongshu Sheren to the current Zhongshu Shilang, and the specialist in machine maintenance can be said to be one of Li Shimin's most trusted people, so Li Shimin has always been more casual in front of him.

Cen Wenwen tended to enter the hall and pay homage to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Jingren doesn't need to be polite, come and take a look at the words that the prince wrote for me." Because of these decorations in Li Shimin's hall, he hasn't heard anything bad about Li Chengqian in the past few days, so he is now very willing to mention Li Chengqian to others.

I have heard the text of this poem for a long time, but it is the first time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has written it by himself.

Looking at a graceful thin gold body Cen text, he couldn't help but admire: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is really a good word, this character is only worthy of His Majesty's Palace, if it is somewhere else, I am afraid that no one can suppress such a majestic song!" ”

"Haha, Jing Ren praised it too much." Li Shimin couldn't see his eyes when he heard this, but he was still modest, and asked instead: "Jingren asks to see him at this time, what do you want to do?"

When Cen Wenwen heard this, his face showed sadness, he was silent for a while, knelt down on his knees, and said with tears in his eyes: "Please spare Your Majesty Liu Xun!" ”

"Isn't Liu Xun already dead?" Li Shimin was puzzled, what can I do with the dead?

"Early this morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a tombstone to Liu's Mansion, which was engraved with the poem "Official Hamster" written by the Prince's Palace, and ordered the Liu family to bury the tablet in front of Liu Xun's tomb." Cen Wenwen shed tears as he spoke, which was really unbearable.

"Nonsense! What does he want to do when everyone is dead?" Li Shimin Huo Ran got up, walked back and forth on the ground a few times angrily, and suddenly stood up and said: "Liu Xun has been waiting for me for many years, I know him, and his temperament is the most loyal. Originally, he wanted to wait until the criminal department sentenced his son's case, and then give him a posthumous seal, which could also reduce his son's punishment.

Now it seems that it can only be chased first, and the book is proposed: posthumously sealing Liu Xun as the right servant of Shangshu, Qingyuan County. ”

Cen Wenwen hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

After Cen Wenwen went out, Li Shimin turned around and said to the attendant beside him: "Go to the East Palace to pass the decree, Du He framed the prince and must be immediately sent to the Criminal Department to discuss the crime." ”

In the past few days, Li Chengqian has been directing the work of public opinion in Chang'an City, and on the other hand, he has been resettled in the Shengdao and Lizheng workshops.

Six or seven days had passed since the heavy snowfall, and the weather was slowly getting warmer, Li Chengqian looked at the homeless victims, gathered them together, selected some women from among the victims to be responsible for cooking, and took out male laborers to cut down trees, while other elderly people and women were leveling the land at home, preparing to build a batch of resettlement houses before next year's spring ploughing.

In the past few days, Li Chengqian brought the scribes and guards of the East Palace every day to plan the foundation for the victims and help him level the land.

Li Chengqian demanded that the guards of the East Palace must take turns to work and eat with the victims except for training, and only follow Li Chengqian back to the East Palace after stopping work in the evening.

Li Chengqian has become a frequent visitor here, he does not have the prince's frame in front of the victims, and he always tries to solve problems for them, such as how to allocate houses, how to divide labor and cooperation, and so on.

Li Chengqian also learned about the life of the peasants in the Tang Dynasty. As described in July, if you work hard all year round, the family can have enough food and clothing if it goes well.

If it doesn't go well, just like these disaster victims, Li Chengqian can survive without Li Chengqian, and the three achievements are to meet the king of Yao instant.

Li Chengqian asked the scribes to record all these problems, and prepared to ask the imperial court to raise grain prices so as to ensure the income of the peasants.

When these victims see Li Chengqian every day, they are no longer afraid of him, but their kindness to him is imprinted in their bones.

Li Chengqian also intended to consolidate the mass base here, and the day before yesterday he specially asked the opera troupe to come here to sing a play "Renshou Palace".

After the play was finished, some prostitutes in Dongyang stood up to explain to the victims, and when they heard that there was a plot to kill Li Chengqian, some people immediately wanted to use axes to find someone desperately.

This scene was seen in the eyes of a group of East Palace subordinates and the guards of the East Palace, which made them think that Li Chengqian was the Emperor of Heaven and must fight with their lives to protect him.

On this day, Li Chengqian was resting on a recliner, teasing a four or five-year-old child next to him, and heard that Li Shimin suddenly ordered Liu Xun to be chased and arrested, and Du He was arrested and sent to the criminal department.

Li Chengqian's face remained unchanged and said to Zhao Jie lightly: "Then start it!" Zhao Jie responded and went to make arrangements.

Li Chengqian got up slowly, a confident light flashed in his eyes, and said to the guards: "Let's go to the Criminal Department." Xue Rengui followed silently with all the guards.

Li Chengqian walked to the door and didn't forget to say to the child: "Liu Zhao told you that what your grandmother said the day before yesterday can be done!" ”

"Honorable Order." Xiao Liu Zhao saluted decently, and Li Chengqian and his guards all smiled.

This little Liu Zhao was the child that Li Chengqian carried back to the East Palace that day, and it was originally handed over to the crown princess, but the crown princess didn't have time to take care of him, so she handed it over to the palace maids and grandmothers to take care of, and the child didn't say a word for two days.

It just so happened that at this time, the Liu family of Quchifang came to the disaster resettlement place to ask Li Chengqian, and the Liu family had been named the king of Jing County by Li Shimin, although she was also affected by the disaster, but the Wannian county order did not dare to treat her as an ordinary victim, and arranged accommodation for her.

But when she heard that Li Chengqian was here to help the disaster, she came directly, this Liu had some insight and a stoic personality, Li Chengqian asked her to be in charge of cooking for the victims, and sure enough, she did things in an orderly manner.

Li Chengqian told her about Liu Zhao's situation and asked if he was willing to adopt, of course, all the expenses were paid by the East Palace.

The Liu family now has no children or daughters, and she used to have no money to adopt a child, but now she is happy to be given money by the East Palace, and asks for the child to be passed under her son's name, and asks Li Chengqian to name the child.

Liu's grandson Liu Zhao was like a living baby, and Liu Zhao gradually began to speak under her careful care.

------------------------------

Li Chengqian's carriage came to the Criminal Department, and Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Chengxing, the waiter, hurriedly came out to greet him.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian got out of the carriage, stood on crutches, and said with a faint smile on his face: "Liu Shangshu and Zhang Shilang are exempt." ”

Liu Dewei beat the drum in his heart, since the last time he saw b Li Chengqian playing with a group of ministers and nobles in the East Palace, and then saw Li Chengqian fighting with his life in the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin also had to give in three points, he made up his mind and would never provoke this prince.

Li Chengqian explained his intentions eloquently as he walked forward: "My father once issued an edict for King Gu to hear the lawsuit, saying that there were cases that could not be judged by various ministries and sent to the East Palace for King Gu to adjudicate.

The lonely king has been busy studying, and has never decided a case, and today he came to the criminal department to take a look at the palace from the Shengdaofang, so as to save you from saying that the lonely king was abandoning political affairs behind your back. ”

"Don't dare!" Liu Dewei concluded in his heart that Li Chengqian was here to find trouble today.

"Don't you dare or don't want to?" Li Chengqian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Liu Dewei seriously.

"I don't want to, I don't dare." Andy Lau is very clever.

"Oh, it turns out that you don't want King Lone to intervene in the case in the Criminal Department at all, it seems that the will of the father back then was a bit redundant!" Li Chengqian was unreasonable.

"The ministers don't dare." Liu Dewei didn't dare to admit that he was not guilty of Li Shimin's holy decree.

"In this case, Liu Shangshushu wrote a note to King Gu on behalf of the Criminal Department: Please ask King Gu to try the case."
