What is the scene of the excitement of the crowd, every day there are scholars who petition in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, every day there are literati who shout and scold in front of these princes' mansions, and every day there are students who are talking in various teahouses and restaurants in Chang'an City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

An operation called the Rectification of Discipline swept the entire Chang'an in an instant.

It's just that in the age of scarcity, the literati were the flaunt of the peasants. Many people believe what the reader says. Three people can become tigers, not to mention hundreds of scholars, with thousands of ordinary people.

"Smack", in the Tai Chi Palace, Li Chengqian slapped a piece of music on the case.

"Tell me, what should we do about this?" Li Chengqian, who was full of anger, glared angrily at the silent ministers under the stairs at this time. "Didn't you say that much earlier? Now, let's talk about it, what should I do about it? ”

In fact, there is no way to quickly calm down the people's anger, and if those noble children are pulled out one by one and dealt with severely, they will definitely be able to make the people applaud. And it can also suppress the growing noise of the scholars.

But no one wants to say something so offensive.

That's dozens of princes, if you talk about it individually, the people who can participate in the court meeting at this time can be on an equal footing with them. But dozens of them add up to not so many as a number. These nobles also have good ministers, and they also have a network of relationships woven by blood and in-laws.

If such a force is integrated, it must not be ignored.

Otherwise, Li Chengqian would not have easily deprived Luo Yan of his right to try the case because of a few words that the ministers did not explain.

Isn't the purpose of this to divide and disintegrate?

Therefore, it is impossible to do things that please both sides. The buffer of interests has always been a matter where both parties can coexist only when they gain benefits, and where can one benefit and one side suffer.

As for how to deal with this matter next, Li Chengqian was at a loss.

However, things can't be dragged out just because they can't do anything. Because finally one day, things can't be delayed.

The Liu family, as the culprit, is the main target of the scholars' scolding. For three days in a row, the descendants of the Liu family were scolded so much that they didn't dare to go out. Originally, there was a lot of food stored in the house, and it was not a problem for the subordinates to eat.

But the Liu family, who has always been accustomed to fine clothes and food, is a little difficult. The solar term in July is the time when all kinds of fresh vegetables are on the market, and the melons and fruits are also in time. At this time in previous years, rich and noble families who were tired of eating chicken, duck and fish would also buy a lot of vegetables to supplement.

Some time ago, the Liu family was also immersed in such a diet.

But for the past three days, the door has been blocked, and the people can't go out to buy things -- the front and back doors are blocked.

The stored vegetables were only eaten for a day, and then they were gone.

Life is like falling from heaven to hell in an instant, anyone who lives a life with enough food but no food, will be nauseous after eating for a day, vomiting after eating for two days, and eating for three days, sorry, directly anorexic.

The weakness in the mouth becomes a restlessness in the heart. When the heart burns with restlessness, something will happen.

The head of the Liu family finally couldn't help it, and when he heard the scolding outside the mansion again that day, he pulled up the servants, brought all the sticks, opened the middle door, and rushed out of the mansion to be beaten.

Coming to scold is out of anger, but it is not cost-effective to suffer. Therefore, the scholars who shouted and scolded were scattered by the head of the Liu family with his subordinates, or a decent name, and strategically transferred.

If things can be solved by brute force, I am afraid that everyone will be more willing to use this simple and crude method. Because it can save a lot of trouble.

At this time, the head of the Liu family thought like this, and he was proud, so he asked the servants to go to the market to buy a large amount of wine, meat and vegetables, and delivered them to the back kitchen to make a good banquet, and took his wife and son to enjoy it very contentedly.

However, often this brutal method will lead to more trouble.

The head of the Liu family was carried away by his victory, but he forgot that he had just faced a group of guys who were armed with pens and mouths. Cold violence is the real lethality of this group of people, as for being beaten just now, it was a gentleman who didn't move his mouth.

Since the Liu family is unreasonable, then the scholar will go to the place where he is reasonable.

The three provinces are all in the Taiji Palace, so no one disturbs them, but the six government offices are all outside the Taiji Palace, so they are naturally poisoned by the scholars.

This time, there is no limit to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. However, all the yamen who had some real power in the court were surrounded by the petition groups of scholars. A large number of petitions were piled up in front of these offices.

Finally, it was the turn of these ministers who couldn't sit still.

When the court meeting of the new day began, several Shangshu, mainly from the Criminal Department, asked Li Chengqian to send people again to deal with the matter strictly. And the Liu family's bullying must also give Shilin an explanation.

This time it was Li Chengqian's turn to be silent.

Li Chengqian didn't want to do this, but now the person who can really try this matter is really hard to find for a while. So far, he can only use a procrastination, and after being silent for a long time, Li Chengqian finally said: "For the time being, the court will uphold justice in this matter." However, Dali Temple had made mistakes in the previous trial and was not competent to hear it again. Who will preside over this matter needs to be carefully considered. ”

The words are quite euphemistic, but everyone knows that Li Chengqian is also sitting on wax at this time.

It's hard to find this candidate.

But the result has been very clear, those noble children, severe punishment will definitely not be able to escape.

Li Chengqian's method naturally had a certain effect -- at least from the day the post was posted, the scholars no longer besieged the various government offices. But everyone knows that they are watching and seeing. In the end, if the result is not satisfactory to them, the matter will still have to be troubled.

And the nobles were panicked at this time.

The previous trial of the case by Dai Guan, to be honest, they found a lot of connections from it. To be able to influence the decision of the wearer, the pressure naturally is not small. So, in the end, they were very happy to see their son return home.

Now, however, according to Li Chengqian, this case will be retried, and the outcome will certainly be severe.

What is meant by being strict and severe, that is, the criminal law makes it clear how much criminal responsibility can be punished, and how much criminal responsibility must be punished.

Originally, they didn't understand this, but secretly asked the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. These people don't want to get involved in their affairs, precisely because in their hearts, this is the only way to deal with this matter. There is no other way.

The princes who had apologized to Luo Yan before couldn't help but think of Luo Yan's goodness.

If Luo Yan could have been allowed to preside over this matter at the beginning, where would there be an embarrassment at this time. I can't regret it. Thinking about the fact that these teenagers will be exiled for at least 500 miles one by one, they will cry urgently.

On the third day of Li Chengqian's order, the Marquis of Xunsheng invited himself into the palace to meet Li Chengqian.

"If you're here to intercede, I can only tell you that there's nothing I can do." Facing the sorrowful Xunsheng Hou, Li Chengqian replied very coldly.

It's not that Li Chengqian doesn't want to make friends with these nobles. But thinking about the consequences of doing so, weighing the pros and cons, he could only express his attitude to Xunshenghou from the beginning. In this way, the thoughts of these nobles to intercede can be cut off.

With a wry smile, the Marquis of Xunsheng bowed to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, the micro-ministers have no way to discipline them, causing the dogs to be overbearing. Now that he is disposed of, he also deserves it. The ministers came to ask His Highness for their sins. ”

"That's it. This matter has nothing to do with you, it is inevitable that young people will be a little willful, and even I will often be confused. This time I think it's just exile, so I can live and control, and when I come back from amnesty, I can be a new person. Li Chengqian looked at the huge age of the Marquis of Xunsheng, and was so respectful to himself, and his tone of voice softened.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was finally a little relieved, the Marquis of Xun Sheng made another move: "Your Highness, Weichen wants to implore Your Highness to let Chengguo Gong come out to hear this matter." ”

Li Chengqian was a little sensitive, and immediately looked at Xun Shenghou with sharp eyes after hearing this.

With a wry smile, Xun Shenghou said: "Your Highness doesn't know that we were taken to the natural residence by the Duke of Chengguo that day, and the agreed result was that the dog was punished for guarding the city for half a year. ”

"What?" Li Chengqian exclaimed.

The children of the powerful defended the city, and they did not have to be exiled at all.

You must know that there is a saying in the army - it is better to be a border army than to defend the city. What does this mean, although the border army is cold and hard, and it is easy to fight with its neighbors, it is better to be free, and it can be used to reap the merits of war.

But what about the garrison sergeant? There is no military status, rain or shine, and there is no credit for being looked down upon.

Comparing the two, everyone understands the advantages and disadvantages.

"Yes, what Cheng Guogong promised me to wait for is to stay in Chang'an, so that I can take care of it nearby, but within half a year, there must be no favoritism." Xunsheng Hou smiled bitterly: "Who knew that the day after I agreed, he would be replaced by His Royal Highness." ”

Xun Shenghou only had to say that if he knew that things would be like this, it would be better to let Luo Yan come.

After Li Chengqian listened, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Well, I know."

Xun Shenghou knew that Li Chengqian needed to think about it at this time, after all, it was only a few days before he had to regret it, which made Li Chengqian also very faceless, so he retreated very interestingly.

The next day, news came out from the DPRK and China that more than 20 princes involved in the case successively asked Luo Yan to preside over the trial. Until now, Li Chengqian still has not given a clear answer.

This news shocked Shilin.

The previous mixed news made them a little less trusting of Luo Yan. At this time, since there are so many princes who let Luo Yan come out to preside over the trial, could it be that there will be something shady in it? (To be continued.) )
