After being summoned by Li Shimin, Luo Shixin was already mentally prepared, and when he saw Liu Yanke's worried face, he smiled indifferently and went straight to the palace.

Coming to the East Palace, Luo Shixin waited for a while before taking him to the lobby.

There was only Li Shimin in the lobby, the prince of the Tang Dynasty who was about to become the emperor, his face was grim, and when he saw Luo Shixin walking into the lobby, before he could come forward to salute, he couldn't help but take the first step and said: "Our Lord Shangshu is here, the more you do it, the more promising you are." It directly rejected the resolution of the three legal divisions and demanded that the case of rebellion be retried separately...... What exactly do you want to do? ”

Luo Shixin bowed unhurriedly, first completed the etiquette, and then said: "It's just to pursue justice!" ”

Li Shimin's face was blue, and he shouted: "What the three divisions will try is to be fair and fair, in order to avoid the situation of one person being arbitrary in a serious judicial matter. Gather the strength of the three of them, supervise each other and judge each other......" He picked up the fold on the case table and trembled in the air, slammed it on the table and said: "But it's good that you want to use the authority of the Criminal Department to deny the results of the joint decision of the three law divisions...... That's it, I personally approved the decision, but you vetoed it, intending to classify the case of rebellion as a separate trial by the Criminal Department, which kind of justice is this seeking? I think you are despising the Yushitai and Dali Temple, intending to put the Criminal Department above the two. ”

Li Shimin's words were fierce and incomprehensible.

He is the crown prince of the prison state and is about to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As an emperor, checks and balances are very crucial.

As one of the most outstanding emperors in Chinese history, Li Shimin also attached great importance to this aspect. The power of the judiciary is too great. This has been reflected since the Warring States period, when the various princes would separate their judicial powers. Let different people be in charge separately, that is, Taiwei, Sikong, and Situ, the Han Dynasty made this process clearer, and in the Tang Dynasty, the division of merit was also more clear, and the judicial power was shared with the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai. The tri-division is a judicial body temporarily composed of one person from each of the three legal divisions, and it is also the highest and most unquestionable judicial body in the judicial system. Only extremely serious cases will be tried by the three divisions to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the judiciary.

Often, it will only be activated if there is a rebellion or a person in a position of power who commits a major offense. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have only been a few cases tried by the three divisions.

Luo Shixin no matter what his purpose is, but what he is doing is to provoke the highest judicial body of the Tang Dynasty. The fairness and impartiality of the triage of the three divisions are questioned. This matter has not yet spread, and if it does, it is almost certain that Luo Shixin will be hostile to Yushitai and Dali Temple. Thus being impeached by both sides. The big trouble will trigger the attack of the Manchu civil and military forces, and provoke public anger.

At that time, even if he is Li Yuan, he will not be able to protect Luo Shixin, Li Yuanji was angry and resentful in Taiyuan, and Li Yuan, who was protecting the calf, had to remove Li Yuanji from his position, let alone Luo Shixin?

In the face of such questioning, Luo Shixin was not afraid on his face, but said: "I don't mean to despise the Yushitai and Dali Temple, let alone elevate the criminal department. The division of judicial power among the three legal divisions is an ancient system. I have no intention of provoking. However, the reason for the existence of such a system is to prevent individuals from abusing their power for personal gain and acting unfairly. Only then did the three legal divisions supervise and supervise each other. At present, Du Yan, the imperial historian, is suspected of accepting bribes, and Cui Shanwei, the secretary of Dali Temple, is afraid to go too deep into the case and does not dare to go too deep into the case, so he does it hastily. The three divisions will intervene if they are not fair, since they are not fair, why should they not be questioned? The authority of the secretary of the criminal department is to take charge of the criminal law of the world, investigate unfair matters, and overturn unfair cases. ”

He took a deep breath and said, "Now the evidence of King Lujiang's rebellion case is conclusive, but there are countless doubts in it. His Royal Highness appointed me as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and in order to repay His Highness's kindness, I should do my best to do a good job in the Criminal Department. The imperial doctor is unwilling, and the Dali Siqing does not dare, so it will be up to my criminal department. ”

Li Shimin was even more annoyed, and said: "Du Yan and Cui Shanwei are both heroes of my Tang Dynasty, and they have made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty. They have been in charge of the judiciary for many years, and their experience and ability are above yours, so how can you assume that you are right about what they unanimously agree with? ”

Luo Shixin said-for-tat: "It's because their experience and ability are above me that they seem to be more ghostly, I can see that there is a problem, why can't they see it?" Since there is a problem, it is necessary to investigate it clearly, no matter how big or small the case is related, so that it is worthy of the position of the secretary of the criminal department. If I want to handle the case in a confused way, and judge the case in a confused way, I can't do it. Even if Dr. Du is His Royal Highness's confidant and has a credit to His Highness, if he violates the law, he will be dealt with according to law. ”

Li Shimin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him.

Luo Shixin also looked at him without fear, and did not let him go at all.

At this moment, the news suddenly came that the crown princess wanted to see her.

Li Shimin was like a face change in Peking Opera, the anger on his face suddenly disappeared, and he waved his hand and said, "Go down, we will discuss this matter later." ”

When Luo Shixin saw that Li Shimin heard that the eldest grandson was coming, he couldn't care about anything, so he had to retreat.

Not long after Luo Shixin withdrew from the main hall, the figure of the eldest grandson appeared outside the side hall.

"Why are you here?" Li Shimin went up to greet him, with a smile on his face, and said with a baby: "If there is something to call for, why bother to come in person." If the fetus is alarmed, it is not good. ”

The eldest grandson smiled sweetly: "These eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, how can it be so dangerous." She is still very happy about Lang Jun's care.

This month, her sunflower has been coming, and she has been a mother of three children, and she has a certain amount of experience, and she suspects that she has a secret knot again, and said that Li Shimin knows.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and she, the crown princess who was already very favored, was even more cared for for a while.

Li Shimin said: "That's different, I'll come in and calculate, you say it's a coincidence." The baby in your womb, whether male or female, is my ninth son or ninth daughter, and with nine as the respect and nine as the greatest, the future will be extraordinary. I've thought of the name in advance, if it's a boy, it's called Li Zhi, the word is good, and the girl, you have to think about it. ”

"Be kind to others and do good to yourself...... Good name! The eldest grandson explained Li Shimin's intentions, and then said: "I heard that Li Zhen said that you quarreled with your brother-in-law? ”

Li Shimin was stunned and said angrily: "The little guy knows how to tell the truth!" He didn't hide it anymore, and said angrily: "The instructions I personally gave made that guy refute it with a stroke." He also looked like he was angry, and he was so angry that he was angry. I arranged him to the Criminal Department, thinking that he was credible and reliable, and he could stabilize the situation, but I didn't want him to turn against the army and deal with me. You can't be angry...... I kindly called him over, lest he become a target of all men. But he is right, he vows not to give up until he reaches his goal, and he does not back down at all, but it is my fault. provoked me to get angry, so he removed him as the secretary of the criminal department, and saw how he refuted my order. ”

The eldest grandson listened to her husband's complaints, and also said angrily: "It's really angry, His Royal Highness is the crown prince, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, one person is above ten thousand people." The brother-in-law didn't say anything nice, but he had the courage to disobey His Highness. It's a heinous crime, so he should be removed, let the world know the power of His Highness, and see if there is anyone who dares to anger His Highness in the future, dares to argue with reason in front of His Highness, and tells the truth. ”

Li Shimin saw the indignant appearance of the eldest grandson, opened his mouth, couldn't say a word, and only after a long time did he feign anger: "Okay, in your eyes, I am just a Yang Guang who can't listen to persuasion?" Can't listen to the slightest piece of advice? ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Your Highness's ambition is understood by the concubine. The brother-in-law has a strong temperament, and in the face of injustice, he dares to fight with reason, which is a rare talent. Didn't His Royal Highness take a fancy to his brother-in-law and promote him to the secretary of the Criminal Department, in the face of the rebellion of King Lujiang, Du Yan and Cui Shanwei's silence and brother-in-law's strong reaction are not exactly in stark contrast? I believe that His Royal Highness knows better than anyone what Du Yan is like and what Cui Shanwei is like. The concubine is a woman, and she doesn't understand any big truths, but she heard that the wiser the king, the more he can tolerate people who dare to tell the truth and do practical things, and the concubine also thinks that His Royal Highness is that kind of person. ”

**********

Luo Shixin returned to the Criminal Department, and Liu Yanke greeted him with a heavy heart: "My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is embarrassed for you?" ”

"Nope!" Luo Shixin said: "There was a bit of a dispute, and the problem has not been resolved. You don't have to worry too much here, as long as I am in this position, this case will be investigated, and the important thing now is not this issue. We have to figure out how to break the deadlock. ”

Liu Yanke looked at Luo Shixin like an alien!

A bit of an argument?

Haven't solved the problem yet?

"This ......" Liu Yanke felt that his IQ was not enough, and the fact that Li Shimin was about to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was almost not public, which was a blatant dispute with the future emperor, and he thought that his life was too long?

Just when Liu Yanke doubted his IQ, the latest appointment came from Zhongshu Province. The results of the trial of the three divisions were affirmed, but the case of Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, was too widely implicated, and there were still some problems that had not yet been sorted out.

Liu Yanke doubted his IQ and began to doubt his ears again.

Luo Shixin didn't have much surprise at this, he quite understood Li Shimin's mentality, the more you resist him, the more you can stand on the truth and argue with him, the more he will reuse, the more important he is.

Just like Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng forced Li Shimin to step down several times, so angry that Li Shimin blew his beard and glared at him, and even wanted to kill him as a hillbilly, but he still had a good taste.

Luo Shixin did not back down in front of Li Shimin, not recklessly looking for death, but knowing that Li Shimin could accommodate his subordinates who argued and quarreled with him. (To be continued......)
