"Brother Li Wang has made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, how can I be separated from you, Brother Li Wang. Brother Li wants to mention the matter of returning to his hometown, and I will never agree to it. Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Li Jing.

"Your Majesty, if the world is peaceful and healthy today, all the important ministers in the court are the pillars of the country, that is to say, there are not many ministers, and there are many young ministers."

"So I also ask the emperor for permission, so that the ministers can return to their hometowns to live in their old age." Li Jing pleaded with Li Shimin again.

Li Shimin was finally forced to have no choice but to nod and agree to Li Jing's return to his hometown. However, Li Shimin still admires Li Jing very much in his heart.

So he spoke: "Brother Li retreated bravely and gave up his instinctive position to others. Much better than those who are clearly not qualified for their current position, but are unwilling to abdicate and make way for Xian. ”

"Therefore, I have decided that Brother Li can resign from his position as the right servant. But the knighthood is no less. If one day I have a request from Brother Li, I still need Brother Li to lead the troops for me again. ”

"As long as the ministers have a suck, they will never see anyone who wants to subvert the Tang Dynasty. As long as the minister can stand up and walk, of course he will be fighting for the emperor. Li Jing said.

……

Li Ke didn't know the news of Li Jing's resignation, and he still went to Mizhou City leisurely. In a place only a hundred miles away from Mizhou City, Li Ke discovered something.

That is, there was a fisherman who caught a few carp while he was fishing. And it happened to be discovered by a passing official, so the official was ready to cure the fisherman's sin.

Because in the Tang Dynasty, the surname of the Son of Heaven was Li, which symbolized the dragon. The carp is also surnamed "carp", and naturally it is slowly pushed to the altar.

In the royal family, the carp was used as a pendant, and the soldier charm was changed to a carp charm and became a holy relic. In order to avoid the word "carp", the common people can only call the carp "red sturgeon".

If there is anyone who catches and sells carp without permission, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, he should be held accountable for 60 boards. If these sixty boards are played, it is estimated that good people will lose half their lives.

Therefore, not only do they dare not sell in the market, but even if they are fishermen fishing in rivers, lakes and seas. I will definitely stay away from this carp.

For fear that I accidentally hit the carp and be seen by others, as long as people go to the government to report to the official. You're in big trouble.

If it is like what is written in Journey to the West, put on a golden carp and carry it on the street. I'm afraid it's not just about 60 boards.

After Li Ke asked about the situation clearly, he took two steps forward and said to the officials: "Don't worry, I don't think this fisherman is intended. ”

"And it didn't hurt the red sturgeon's life. Just let them go now and it's over, why make such a fuss? ”

"What kind of onion are you that dare to say such a rebellious thing. Believe it or not, I took you with me, and let you be punished with the rod with this fisherman. The official said to Li Ke with a raised eyebrow.

"This big brother doesn't have to be angry, I just saw that the fisherman was pitiful, so I came to plead with the big brother."

"There are a few copper coins here, and the eldest brother of the official will take them, and find a place to drink a few glasses of water and wine with his brothers. That's a little bit of my heart. Li Ke said to the official with a smile on his face.

As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. Seeing that Li Ke took out dozens of copper coins, a smile also appeared on the face of the servant.

After reaching out and taking the copper coin, he said to the fisherman: "Look at this little brother's face today, and the brothers will open the net." If there is a next time, the punishment for both crimes will be combined. ”

The fisherman, who had long been frightened and sifted through chaff, now heard that he was fine. Naturally, I am grateful to those officials.

After the servants left, the fisherman saluted Li Ke and said, "Thank you for saving this little brother, otherwise this little old man's life may be over." ”

"The old man doesn't have to be like this, this rule that you can't kill carp is really inappropriate. If I have the chance, I will make a proposal to the court and ask the court to abolish this ridiculous law. Li Ke stretched out his hand and helped the fisherman up and said.

"Little brother doesn't know something, now there are carp flooding in this water. Carp are caught in almost every net. ”

"If the officials in the yamen are more serious every time in the future. Then I'm afraid this fish won't be able to be hunted in the future. The fisherman said to Li Ke with a sigh.

After the fisherman sighed, he said goodbye to Li Ke, and then continued to row towards the river. And Li Ke could only sigh helplessly.

At this time, Yuan Tiangang, who was standing on the side, said: "A word from the person in power, I don't know how many people have suffered because of this. Now that you have seen it today, the teacher wants to know how you will deal with this matter. ”

"It's those sycophants who shoot horses in order to leave a beard for the emperor's grandfather. brought up this ridiculous thing, but I don't know why the emperor's grandfather agreed. ”

"So if you want to change this matter, I'm afraid it may not be useful to find my father. After all, the emperor's grandfather is now here, and if the father changes the code formulated by the emperor's grandfather. I am afraid that others will secretly say that my father is not filial. ”

"So I still need to tie the bell to the bell, and I have time to go to Chang'an City. I will definitely find the imperial grandfather and ask him to abolish this law. Li Ke said as he continued to walk towards Qizhou City.

But what Li Ke didn't expect was that not long after Li Ke left. The fisherman rowed back again.

But at this time, looking at the fisherman, he is no longer the appearance of an old dragon clock. Even the beard on his face is gone.

If it weren't for the fact that he got off the fishing boat just now, he was still wearing the same clothes. I'm afraid no one would have thought that this person was the fisherman just now.

The man looked at Li Ke's distant back, and couldn't help but show a cruel smile on his face. Then put his hand in his mouth and whistled loudly.

After a while, more than a dozen people rushed out from all directions, and these people came to the fisherman's front and saluted and said, "Brother Zhang asked me to wait for me to come over, what is the explanation?" ”

"Have you ever seen the man who lifted the siege for me and immediately sent someone to protect him secretly? Don't let him slip up in any way in Mizhou. "The man known as Brother Zhang said.

To say that this big brother Zhang is not a fisherman. His surname is Zhang Mingpeng, and he is proficient in the art of medicine and poison. He is a descendant of Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Three Kingdoms period.

How did the family decline, but in the end he became a Langzhong who walked the rivers and lakes. However, he has not forgotten the legacy of his ancestors, and no matter where he goes, he will take it as his responsibility to save lives and help the wounded.

However, gradually Zhang Peng found that relying on the medical skills in his hands to save people, the number of people he saved was very limited. If you want to save more people, you can only punish evil and promote good for the way of heaven.

So this Zhang Peng organized hundreds of people outside Mizhou City to deal with those bullies who were rampant in the township. It can even be said that it was not Li Ke who saved Zhang Peng today.

To be precise, it should be Li Ke who saved the lives of those officials. Otherwise, those officials today may be sunk in the water.
