Xiao Jiading thought to himself, this Du Dayin is really an old fox, he has not been in vain in the yamen for so many years, and he can see the key to the problem at a glance, Tang Sima recommended himself This matter, the master of the text has already said it in the torture room, and the yamen will definitely spread soon. Anyway, if he doesn't say it, he will know the Tao later. He smiled humbly and said, "It's Tang Sima of the Mansion." ”

Du Dayin was pleasantly surprised and said, "Tang Sima? He used to be the secretary of the criminal department! With his recommendation, let alone a county order, even the assassin will not give him face. ”

The book of the criminal department? When Xiao Jiading heard this, he couldn't help but feel his heart move, and immediately remembered a person, Tang Lin! Could it be that this Tang Sima who painted was Tang Lin, the secretary of the Criminal Department who participated in the formulation of "Yonghui Shu Yi" in the Tang Dynasty?

Xiao Jiading specializes in legal history, and one of the participants of "Yonghui Law" based on "Yonghui Law" has this Tang Lin! He can be regarded as a figure in the legal history of the Tang Dynasty, so Xiao Jiading naturally knows the Tao. The main reason why he did not equate the Tang Lin who used other people's calligraphy and paintings to imitate himself and Tang Lin who compiled "Yonghui Laws and Regulations" was that the latter was a dignified secretary of the Criminal Department, which was equivalent to the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and the Minister of Justice, half of the Central Organization Minister and half of the President of the Supreme Court, and belonged to one of the national leaders, which was too famous, while this one in Yizhou was just a Sima, only equivalent to a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee without real power, and the level difference was too far. He thought it was the same name. I didn't expect it to be the same person.

His little baby Ya Niang actually knew such a big person, it must be Ya Niang who told him about his own affairs and asked him to help. Hehe, I didn't think it would be like this, and I can't help but say that my shit luck is too fucking good.

Xiao Jiading was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled mysteriously and didn't answer Du Dayin's words.

Du Dayin's expression when he looked at Xiao Jiading suddenly became complicated, and even mixed with a servile smile formed by the yamen scribes for many years, and said, "Brother Xiao, come into the house quickly, please take a seat!" Erniu, hurry up and prepare cakes and bait fruits! ”

Du Erniu hurriedly agreed, and glanced at Xiao Jiading a little inexplicably. She is young and a woman, and she doesn't know anything about officialdom, so she doesn't know what it means. But from the change in grandpa's attitude, he felt the mystery to some extent.

Xiao Jiading followed Du Dayin into the house and sat down in the main hall. Du Dayin called a middle-aged woman again, but it was Du Erniu's mother, who was as chubby and rich as Du Erniu. Du Mu didn't hear what they said just now, and she didn't know the inside story of the road, so her eyes looked at Xiao Jiading with a kind of scrutiny, as if she was observing her future son-in-law.

Du Erniu came up with a fruit plate, at this time in the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people were not tortured to drink tea, all of them did not serve tea, and the guests came, and they were all served on the fruit plate.

Xiao Jiading was still reminiscing about Du Dayin's words just now, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who is our Yizhou Thorn History?" ”

Du Dayin immediately said with a solemn expression: "Our Yizhou Assassin History is concurrently served by the Metropolitan Governor of Yizhou, and the Metropolitan Governor is in charge of ten prefectures including Yizhou. ”

(Actually, the King of Shu was Li Ke's title in his early years, and when Yonghui was three years old, he was actually the King of Wu, the novel and the wild history, and he didn't ask for everything to coincide with the official history, so please laugh at the Fang family.) ）

Xiao Jiading's eyes widened: "Li Ke? ”

He immediately burst out in front of his eyes A series of film and television images such as "Zhenguan Long Song", Xiao Jiading has watched these TV series, and he is too familiar with this Li Ke. Li Ke is a tragic figure, it can be said that Li Shimin is the most virtuous of so many sons, Chairman Mao once commented that Li Ke is a "British thing", and deeply regrets that Li Shimin did not make him the prince. Li Ke's tragedy is also here.

At that time, there were three people who were most likely to compete for the right to inherit the throne, all of whom were born to Li Shimin's late beloved wife, Empress Changsun, one was the crown prince Li Chengqian, one was the fourth son Li Tai, and the other was the ninth son Li Zhi. The crown prince Li Chengqian and Li Tai fought fiercely, and Li Shimin was afraid that the Xuanwumen incident would repeat the mistakes of the past, so he chose Li Zhi, the ninth son who was actually weak and not suitable to be the emperor, and it was precisely because of this character that Li Shimin believed that he would succeed to the throne in the future and would not poison his two brothers, so he avoided fratricide. And this choice was strongly supported by the extremely ambitious first minister of the dynasty, the eldest grandson of the emperor Li Shimin's beloved wife, the eldest grandson of the empress.

The reason why the eldest grandson Wuji supported the youngest Li Zhi, who was weak by nature, as the prince among the three nephews, was that anyone with a discerning eye knew that he wanted to be Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world. The wise Li Shimin was a little confused and adopted his opinion. Eventually, Li Zhi became emperor. The eldest grandson Wuji, who has the merit of support, naturally became the emperor behind the scenes. In just two years after Li Zhi became emperor, the eldest grandson Wuji took advantage of the brainless Princess Gaoyang's careful eye to figure out the matter, which immediately expanded into a political rebellion case, that is, the so-called "Fang Yiai Rebellion Case" in later generations, and Li Ke became a victim of it.

Although Li Ke was only born to Li Shimin's beloved concubine Yang (the daughter of Emperor Li Guang of Sui), Li Shimin admired him very much, saying that he was both civil and military, and was the most like himself among all his sons, so after Li Shimin set up his ninth son Li Zhi as the prince in order to avoid Li Chengqian and Li Tai from fratricidal confrontation, he regretted it again and wanted to set up Li Ke as the prince, which was resolutely opposed by Li Zhi's uncle Sun Wuji, Li Shimin once pointed out sharply: "You oppose Li Ke as the prince, is it because he is not your nephew?" Despite this, at the insistence of the eldest grandson Wuji, and at the same time under the influence of the yin spirit of his dead beloved wife, the eldest grandson empress, Li Shimin retreated.

Because of this incident, Li Ke, who almost became the crown prince, naturally hated and feared the eldest grandson Wuji. This emotion was naturally observed by the scheming eldest grandson Wuji. So, after the incident of Princess Gaoyang came out, the eldest grandson Wuji volunteered to ask Ying to be the chief judge, which was upgraded to a rebellion case, and as a good opportunity to eradicate dissidents, many dissidents were pulled into it, and the first one was Li Ke, who looked at him very unpleasantly.

In the list of executions made by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ke was among them. Li Zhi, who is very emotional, wanted to save his brother's life and begged the eldest grandson Wuji to let him go, but the eldest grandson Wuji categorically refused. Li Ke died a tragic death.

This history of Xiao Jiading is seen from film and television dramas and novels, and he doesn't know what year Lu Dao happened, but he only remembers that shortly after Li Zhi became emperor. That is to say, this governor of Yizhou and the assassin of Yizhou, is only afraid of his life.

Seeing that Xiao Jiading's face was uncertain, Du Dayin was slightly surprised, so he casually found a topic, wanting to divert Xiao Jiading's thoughts, and asked, "Where does Xiao Zhiyi live?" In the future, the old man will take the second girl to visit you. ”

Xiao Jiading quickly returned to normal, and the affairs of the royal family were related to his own bird affairs, so what to do with this heart, he restrained his thoughts and said, "Live in the yamen for the time being." However, I want to rent a house outside to live in, after all, it is too inconvenient to live in the yamen. The yamen must be locked at night. ”

Du Dayin looked at him with amusement: "Why, you are the county commander, and you still have to rent a house to live?" Isn't it a joke! Well, the old man will tell you that you are going to buy a house, and the old man will promise you that in less than ten days, you will be able to buy a very cheap and very good house. ”

"Oh? No way? ”

"Won't? Of course, if you are just the executive of a county order, it is indeed unlikely that someone will scold you like this, but there is also a government administration behind you, and this Sima, who used to be the secretary of the criminal department, is a big celebrity around the emperor, you say, is this weight enough? ”

"However, he, Sima, is now a demoted official, and Sima is originally an idle position and has no real power. Do you need to buy his account like this? ”

Du Dayin sighed and said: "You don't know much about the imperial court, the reason why many officials are demoted is actually just that the emperor is angry for a while, and when the anger is gone, he will naturally be reinstated, and some of them have not annoyed the emperor at all, the emperor demoted him for various purposes, and when the time comes, he will be reinstated." This Tang Lin, who in the Manchu Dynasty doesn't know the way? As early as when the emperor was still the crown prince, he had a very close relationship with the emperor, so when the emperor succeeded to the throne, Tang Lin was just a school inspector, and the emperor was a rank, and he was immediately promoted to be the secretary of Dali Temple! Then he was promoted to the Imperial Doctor, and then he became the secretary of the Criminal Department, the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor! But in a year, he was promoted three levels in a row, what do you say is his relationship with the emperor? ”

The official department is equivalent to the deputy director of the Central Organization Department, but a school inspection is added in front, which means agency, that is to say, Tang Lin before Song Gaozong succeeded to the throne, he was only at the level of the high set of positive four products that enjoyed the treatment, and after the emperor Gaozong succeeded to the throne, he jumped three levels in a row and rose to the third grade of the criminal department Shangshu! Holding the highest judicial power except for the emperor, it was only a year! It can be seen that he is really a big celebrity in front of the emperor.

In fact, Xiao Jiading, who studied the history of the legal system, already knew that among the emperors of the past dynasties, the current emperor Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was one of the emperors who paid the most attention to the law. Later, it became the legal blueprint of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and at the same time, it was also copied from neighboring countries such as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, and was simply revised according to their situation and promulgated as their laws, thus forming the Chinese legal system. Become a law with international implications.

Because Tang Gaozong Li Zhi attaches great importance to the law, so he also attaches great importance to legal talents, Tang Linneng jumped three levels in a row, on the one hand, because of the personal relationship between the two, and even on the other hand, it also shows that Emperor Li Zhi attaches great importance to legal talents.
