Chapter 127 Asking for an Oracle

Li Shimin was also stunned by such an alternative way of greeting at first, but no matter how he said that he was also an emperor, he still had the ability to calm down, and he only smiled slightly when he heard the words.

But when he saw the depressed old house, he couldn't help it for some reason, and laughed out loud with a 'poof'.

But fortunately, it was well concealed, and as soon as the laughter came out, he coughed: "Two Aiqing, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Fang Xuanling spoke first, glanced at Li Muyun, who didn't intend to argue with him, and the words of the complaint were swallowed back when they came to his mouth, becoming: "Waiting for this time to enter Beijing to arrest Han Qiang, the son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the old minister felt that the matter was very important, so he brought him to meet the saint." ”

"Oh? Waiting, can there be such a thing? Li Shimin looked at Li Muyun.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing, and Han Wenying, the wife of Sun Liang of Shanyin County, confessed that Han Qiang, the son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, resold official food and plotted to assassinate court officials, so the minister had to go to Beijing to raise people." Although Li Muyun was a little strange why Fang Xuanling didn't mention the matter of fighting with him, Li Shimin's question made him have to answer.

But fortunately, he had been fully prepared for this matter, and it was not difficult to answer.

"You, a small county magistrate of Shanyin County, dare to come to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department of Chang'an to raise people? Did you know that chances are you won't even be able to get through the door? Li Shimin asked with a little ridicule.

This was the first time he had seen Li Muyun, and he was still full of curiosity about the righteous son of this legendary old man.

Especially when I saw Ya's messy short hair, I felt even more funny when she walked straight off dandruff.

The heart said, Is this such a man who offered himself a horseshoe and gunpowder? Is this considered that talented people are so raunchy?

"Your Majesty, I know how to maintain the integrity of the law of the Tang Dynasty in a small county, presumably the Shangshu of the Criminal Department should also know the truth, besides, there has been a saying in ancient times that the righteous annihilation of relatives, as a representative of the judicial system of the Datang Dynasty, shouldn't the Shangshu of the Criminal Department lead by example?" Li Muyun's face was dazed, and he seemed to be a little reluctant to believe Li Shimin's statement that he couldn't even enter the gate of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help pouting when he looked at it, and said in his heart that this thing has changed its face so quickly, and the ruffian who just looked like a ruffian in his own house has become cute now, and he doesn't know which one is the true face of this product.

But fortunately, Li Shimin is not so easy to fool, after listening to Li Muyun's explanation, his face sank slightly and said: "As far as I know, things don't seem to be so simple, right?" If you hadn't kidnapped that Han Qiang and wrote a letter threatening Han Ai, how could he assassinate you? ”

"Your Majesty, this is just a chance for Han Qiang to mend his ways, after all, they are young people, there will always be times when they make mistakes, we can't beat people to death with a stick if they make a little mistake, so I will make this decision, hoping to remind Han Shangshu, but I didn't expect Han Shangshu to misunderstand what I meant......

"Sophistry!" The old man Fang glanced at Li Muyun on the side.

However, Li Muyun was unusual, and he didn't even look at the old man, as if he didn't hear him speak.

Li Shimin saw every move of the two of them in his eyes, his heart moved slightly, he thought about it and said to the two: "Li Muyun, Han Ai is also an old minister after all, I don't know if I can see it ......on my face."

"Your Majesty, the so-called prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, since the law of the Tang Dynasty does not indicate that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department can commit murder and bully the market, then I will bring him to justice."

Oh, I'll go, what I said is really hard, and it has a bit of a strong order, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but look sideways at him, and began to wonder whether his choice was right or wrong.

I think that Han Ai is also an old aristocrat after all, and there is an inexplicable relationship with several wealthy families and nobles; And this Li Muyun seemed to suddenly jump out of a stone, rootless and bottomless.

Although Li Shimin's attitude should be very optimistic about this kid, Lao Fang didn't want to play anything desperate, and it was really unwise to offend a large number of people for a Li Muyun of unknown origin.

After all, the Fang family still has to mix in the court, and it is not a good thing to become a lonely minister.

Thinking of this, Lao Fang suddenly seemed to have some enlightenment, glanced at Li Muyun who was standing on the side, and then looked at Li Er who was sitting at the top, and became more and more sure of the correctness of his idea.

Dare to love this kid is the so-called lonely minister made by His Majesty the Emperor, in other words, the knife in the hands of Li Shimin.

Thinking of this, Lao Fang suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore, shook his head, and put back all the speculations in his heart.

……

At this time, Li Shimin and Li Muyun had already changed the topic.

Listen to Li Shimin ask: "Li Muyun, Shanyin County is located on the border, what do you think about governing this place?" ”

"Your Majesty, located on the border is located in the border is the way of business, although Shanyin County is vast and sparsely populated, lack of rain all year round, but it is a good place to herd horses, and the minister thinks that if it is managed properly, it will provide thousands of good horses for Datang every year."

"Oh? Thousands of good horses? Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"It should be more than that, in fact, there are many minerals in San'in County, such as black stone, which can be used to make steel if used properly, not to mention that there are countless fugitives in the mountains, I plan to ......"

"Wait, fugitives?" Hearing Li Muyun talk about the fugitives, Li Shimin's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean when you talk about fugitives?" ”

"Your Majesty, fugitives are also people, what we lack in Datang now is people, why can't we recruit these fugitives from the mountains and issue them household registration, so that they can make a contribution to the construction of Datang again?"

"But they ......"

"Your Majesty, ants are still greedy for life, let alone people? Not to mention that by calling these people back, they can farm, they can pay taxes, and most importantly, they will have children on the land. ”

"And Your Majesty, to put it irreverently, you can even accept those Turkic and Khitan people, and you can give them a piece of land for them to recuperate, so why can't you give the people under your rule a chance to mend their ways?"

I have to say that Li Muyun's words poked Li Shimin's heart and made His Majesty the Emperor fall into deep thought.

Emotionally speaking, he didn't want to accept those fugitives, after all, for Datang, their behavior of fleeing into the mountains was tantamount to treason, which was unforgivable.

But if you think about it again, it seems that what Li Muyun said is not wrong, if you can recruit those fugitives back, it will indeed make the population of Datang skyrocket, and at the same time, those barren lands will also find their new owners and contribute a lot of food to Datang again.
