Chapter 400 Ming Xiu Plank Road (I)

7806

If you haven't been an emperor, you don't know the hardships of being an emperor, unless you want to be a faint monarch, otherwise, just correcting the excerpts is an extremely heavy physical work, and you can't sustain this kind of torment without a good body. This is also a helpless thing Li Shimin personally recruited for more than two months, the dead Li Zhi did not do any work at all, the official documents have long been piled up, and Li Shimin came back because of the sadness Li Zhi's tragic death and no mental politics, so down, this backlog of government affairs is countless, if it is a different person, maybe it will be completely decadent, but Li Shimin is a generation of emperors after all, once the knot is temporarily put aside, he immediately devoted himself to government affairs, and it is inevitable that he will be busy.

Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue asks to see you. Just when Li Shimin was busy, Liu Donghe, the inner attendant, walked in lightly and reported cautiously.

Well? Li Shimin raised his head from the pile of documents, thought for a while expressionlessly, and said indifferently: Declare it. As soon as the words fell, he continued to bury his head in the pile of documents.

Be. Liu Donghe didn't dare to disturb more, bowed down in response, withdrew from the study, and went to summon Li Zhen without mentioning it.

The sons knocked to see their father. When Liu Donghe went for a short time, Li Zhen walked into the study, and when he saw Li Shimin writing at the desk, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a meticulous salute.

Zhen'er is here, just get flat. Li Shimin heard the movement, raised his head, glanced at Li Zhen lovingly, and said with a smile.

Father Xie. Li Zhen still thanked her meticulously, and then got up and stood aside.

Li Shimin admired Li Zhen's humility very much, put down the brush in his hand, stroked his beard, and asked with a smile: Is there something wrong with Zhen'er here?

The father and the emperor were clear, and the sons and daughters were ordered to take over the punishment department, and they were deeply worried that they could not catch it, and they were so frightened that they were willing to ask the father and the emperor to give the sons a will. Li Zhen said that she was frightened, but her face was very calm, and her eyes were full of perseverance.

You want to be very willing, and you will hear it with me. Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen with interest for a while, and then said unhurriedly.

Xie Father Emperor, the son wants to retry the Xiangzhou military food case, and is willing to ask his father for permission. Li Zhen bowed down and said calmly.

Oh? Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he didn't answer immediately, but looked at Li Zhen fixedly for a while, and then said with a smile: Okay, you will go to negotiate with Dali Temple first, and I will give you your will when I go back.

The original intention of the Xiangzhou military rations case was that the three divisions would try the case, and now Li Zhen asked the criminal department to try the case alone, which is somewhat contrary to the norm from the legal point of view, and the functions of the criminal department at this time are very different from the criminal department of later generations, and there is no right to try major cases, only the right to review, the real right to try the case is actually in Dali Temple, but the interesting thing is that Dali Temple is only in charge of trying the case, but regardless of the search and sorting of evidence, and regardless of the criminal department, all this has to be responsible for the criminal department, including the issuance of sea fishing documents and the arrest of wanted criminals, Even the formulation of the law is all the work of the criminal department, so that the criminal department is actually more like the public security bureau of later generations than the Supreme Court in charge of the world's serious cases, it is very a bit of putting the cart before the horse, but in any case, before the change of the imperial court system, the criminal department does not have the right to hear major cases alone, at this time since Li Zhen wants to try the case, the end of Dali Temple is naturally a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, as far as Sun Fugana and other strong people are ordered, even Li Shimin is also a headache when he sees it, At this time, the old man asked Li Zhen to settle Sun Fujia by himself, in addition to not wanting Comrade Sun to come to the palace to make trouble, but also to test Li Zhen's ability.

Yes, the sons obeyed. Li Zhen could understand Li Shimin's unfinished words, but he didn't take it to heart, without him, since Li Zhen dared to propose to try the Xiangzhou military rations case alone, he had already considered the matter as a whole, and naturally he was sure to persuade the stubborn old man Sun, and when he heard Li Shimin's words, he immediately replied respectfully.

Well, go for it. Li Shimin didn't talk much nonsense, waved his hand with a smile, and motioned for Li Zhen to retreat.

Xie Father Emperor, son retired. As soon as he saw that the old man had given an order to expel the guests, Li Zhen would not delay it any longer, bowed down and saluted, then left the palace and rushed to Dali Temple by carriage

Sun Fujia is a very stylish person, as a champion of the Tang Dynasty, he has always been known for daring to admonish directly, quite like Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, although the official position is far less prominent than Wei Zheng, but the wind and bones are not bad at all, if someone else is a Dali temple, he must be afraid of the East Palace mystery case, but Sun Fujia is not afraid of such a hot potato Since Li Shimin returned to Beijing, Sun Fujia has been on this chapter several times, asking for a thorough investigation of the case, and he also went to the palace to ask for a face, but Li Shimin has never summoned him, I have never had any instructions for this chapter, if it is a different person, I am afraid that it will be stopped, but Sun Fujia is not, he arrived at the yamen early in the morning, dealt with some daily documents, and then planned to enter the palace again with this chapter to ask for a meeting, but before the old man Sun walked out of the office, he saw Pei Hongxu, the young secretary of Dali Temple, breaking in in a panic.

Pei Shaoqing, why are you so flustered? Sun Fujia himself is a person who is not shocked by honor and disgrace, and he is most disgusted with the fuss of his subordinate officials, and at this time, seeing Pei Hongxu's face with the color of an emperor, he immediately frowned unhappily and asked coldly.

Lord Sun, His Royal Highness King Yue has arrived outside the door. Pei Hongxu saw that Sun Fujia's face was displeased, and he replied with a straight face.

Oh? Sun Fujia was stunned for a moment, and for a while he didn't understand what Li Zhen was doing in Dali Temple, so he stroked his long beard and glanced at Pei Hongxu, but he didn't say whether he saw it or not.

Pei Hongxu is a celebrity in front of the former prince Li Zhi, and he is Li Zhi's absolute confidant, he was originally regarded as an upstart in the court, but it is a pity that Li Zhi died like this, his position is very embarrassing, and now he is like a rootless drifter, not to mention being promoted to an official, it is difficult to say whether he can keep his current official title, and he is in a hurry to find a backer at this time, obviously, Li Zhen, the prince with the highest voice in the East Palace, is naturally Pei Hongxu's choice to hold his thick legs, and the reason why he was panicked before was not because he was afraid of seeing Li Zhen, Instead, he was worried that Old Man Sun would say nothing and turn Li Zhen away, so that he would not have the opportunity to have a good relationship with Li Zhen openly, at this time, seeing Sun Fujia's hesitant face, he hurriedly said: Lord Sun, His Royal Highness King Yue was ordered to take charge of the Criminal Department yesterday, and I am afraid that he is here for the East Palace case, you see

Well, then go with this official to greet His Highness. Sun Fujia frowned and thought about it, feeling that what Pei Hongxu said seemed to be somewhat reliable, so he didn't hesitate any longer, and after saying a word, he shook his wide sleeves and went straight to the yamen.

Xiaguan Sun Fujia (Pei Hongxu) See His Royal Highness King Yue. As soon as Sun Fujia and Pei Hongxu led a large group of officials from Dali Temple out of the yamen, they saw Li Zhenzheng and Yang Hongming, another Shaoqing of Dali Temple, chatting happily, and hurriedly greeted them, and each stepped forward to salute.

The two adults are polite, Xiao Wang took the liberty to come, there are many disturbances, please forgive me. When Li Zhen saw that Old Man Sun had come out, he stopped talking to Yang Hongming, turned sideways, returned the salute very politely, and said a few words of humility with a smile.

Sun Fujia is an old ginger, very spicy, and not because Li Zhen is very polite, he greeted him with a smile, and as soon as the salute was finished, he put on a flat face, and asked bluntly: It's not enough to disturb, but I don't know what His Royal Highness means here?

Oh, it is said that this old man has never been emotional, sure enough! Li Zhen originally rarely dealt with Sun Fujia, but he didn't hear much about this old man, and he knew that Sun Fujia was upright, although he was pushed by Comrade Sun, he didn't get angry because of this, but just smiled and said: Xiao Wang came to discuss with Lord Sun on the instructions of His Majesty, I don't know if Lord Sun has any spare time?

If others heard that it was the emperor's dictation, they were afraid that they would immediately soften their feet, but Sun Fujia's face was very flat, and he didn't say anything to invite Li Zhen to come in, so at the gate of the yamen, in front of everyone, he asked directly: The official is busy with official business, what does His Royal Highness have to say, just open your mouth.

This old man is really right, so he will admit death. Li Zhen was pushed to the point of no retreat, but he was not unhappy because of this, but slightly snickered before Li Zhen expected Comrade Sun to react like this, and originally planned to take advantage of Comrade Sun's momentum to spread the words that should be released through everyone's mouths.

Sun Fujia didn't expect that Li Zhen came here just for the inconspicuous Xiangzhou military food case, and he was quite disappointed in his heart, but this matter already had a part of Dali Temple, Li Zhen came to the door on this matter but there was nothing wrong with it, Sun Fujia was a little dissatisfied, but he was helpless, he frowned quickly, waved his hand and said: In this case, Your Highness is please.

There is Lord Laosun, and the father is very concerned about this matter, so I ask Lord Sun to bother more, please. The words that should have been passed on have already been passed on, Li Zhen didn't care about Sun Fujia's indifference, laughed, arched his hand, said thanks, and then entered the yamen of Dali Temple with a smile on his face, accompanied by Sun Fujia and Pei Hongxu, and went to Sun Fujia's office.

Old man Sun has been an official of Dali Temple for more than 20 years, not counting the ten years of the previous two Dali Temple Shaoqing, Dali Temple Qing alone has served for more than four years, but he has never purchased new furniture for his office, and the copywriting, desks and other things in his office are all styles that Li Zhen gave to various departments for free when he first launched the furniture more than ten years ago. sat down on a few chairs in the corner of the wall, but when he saw that Old Man Sun shook his big sleeves, he calmly shouted: Serve tea. The officials of their own Dali Temple served freshly brewed tea.

Xiaguan only has a cup of tea here, nothing else, please Your Highness Haihan. Old Man Sun picked up the tea bowl, gestured to Li Zhen, and said a word without saltiness.

Tea is sufficient. Li Zhen smiled, picked up the tea bowl disapprenosingly, took a small sip of it shallowly, and almost squirted out This tea is really clear tea, it is difficult to swallow, poor Li Zhen drank all the best tea in the past, like this so-called clear tea, Li Zhen didn't even bother to look at it in the past, let alone drink it, but what, Li Zhencheng's mansion is deep, and he will not have any inappropriate actions, so he swallowed the small sip of tea, put the tea bowl down casually, and said with a smile: Lord Sun, what my father means is that although the case of Xiangzhou military rations is small, it can be involved but big, I have to declare it as soon as possible, Xiao Wang is not talented, since he has received the errand, he has to hurry up to get it done, and I hope that Lord Sun can help.

Sun Fujia was very shrewd, as soon as he heard Li Zhen's words, he immediately came to his senses, Li Zhen was planning to try the case by the Criminal Department alone, his face sank, and he frowned and said: This case was originally tried by the three divisions, and this is just it, otherwise, it should be my Dali Temple to try the case, and there is no reason for the Criminal Department to come forward, this is a court rule, and it is difficult to change.

Naturally, this king has no intention of seizing the authority of Dali Temple. Li Zhen didn't care about Sun Fujia's stinky and hard words, and explained with a smile: The court has its own system, and this king will not easily violate it, and now my father is concerned about this case, and this king does not dare to slack off, if it is so good, please ask Pei Shaoqing to assist this king in jointly trying this case, and all the evidence on the left and right is complete, and the trial will be concluded as soon as possible, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the imperial court, what does Lord Sun think?

Pei Hongxu was a shrewd person, and he also thought that he could cling to Li Zhen, but when he heard Li Zhen's words, there was obviously a sense of wooing, and he didn't wait for Sun Fujia to speak, and immediately preemptively said: His Royal Highness is willing to assist His Highness in adjudicating the case, and he will do his best, please rest assured.

Sun Fujia glanced at Pei Hongxu dissatisfied, but he did not say anything to blame, but looked at Li Zhen, and said very seriously: If it is not that the lower officials want to steal the merits, the right to try the case is the responsibility of my Dali Temple.

In Li Zhen's view, the credit of the trial is just a big fart, how can Li Zhen take it to heart, this is just a false shot, who will take the lead in the trial, Li Zhen doesn't care at all, at this time, seeing Sun Fujia said so seriously, he knows that Comrade Sun's original intention is not to fight for merit, just to maintain the dignity of Dali Temple, but to admire the old man's uprightness, and he didn't care much about the question of who is the master and who is the auxiliary, haha smiled and said: Lord Sun is right, this case can be closed in the name of Dali Temple, Can it be tried jointly by Pei Shaoqing and this king?

Sun Fujia is an expert in solving cases, there are countless cases that have been solved in his life, and he is very logical, at this time, seeing Li Zhen talking so well, not only did he not rest assured, but he became suspicious, and looked at Li Zhen with a frown for a while, but he never agreed, Pei Hongxu, who was sitting on the side, was sweating, but he didn't dare to interject again, and his face was about to become a bitter melon.

What does His Highness think about the East Palace case? Sun Fujia was silent for a long time, but suddenly changed the topic, stared at Li Zhen with a pair of old eyes, and asked abruptly.

Hehe, this old man is really difficult, and he can't hide it from the world! As soon as Li Zhen heard Sun Fujia ask this question, he knew that Comrade Sun had vaguely guessed the answer to the riddle, but Li Zhen didn't say much, just smiled indifferently and looked at Sun Fujia's office expectantly.

Comrade Lao Sun was not stupid, he was still a little suspicious at first, but when he saw Li Zhen's appearance, he was already sure, and he was excited for a while, but on his old face, he waved his hand to the servants waiting on the side and said: "You all retreat." Seeing Sun Fujia's words, the servants didn't dare to stay, and they each agreed to leave the office, Sun Fujia glanced at Pei Hongxu, who was restless, and sighed softly and said: Pei Shaoqing will also go down first. Pei Hongxu saw that the old grandson didn't give him any face, and he hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to confront him in person, so he had to get up, sue him, and bow his head and quit the office, but in his heart, he scolded the old grandson to a bloody head.

Why, do you have no official business, what are you doing here? Stand down, all step down! Depressed, extremely depressed, seeing that a great opportunity to get close to Li Zhen, the king of Yue, was stirred up by the old grandson, which made Pei Hongxu angry and his face turned blue, just out of the office door, he drove all the officials of Dali Temple who were around the office door back to their respective offices with a cold face, but he himself was irritable pacing back and forth outside the door of the old grandson's office, and his heart was up and down, thinking about what the old grandson would talk about with Li Zhen for a while, and thinking about how to get close to Li Zhen for a while. My heart is a mess, how can I be worried?

Huh, what's going on? Pei Hongxu was spinning in circles in place, when he suddenly heard a tight quarrel in the office with the door half-closed, and he was a little dumbfounded, and before he could figure out what was going on, he heard the noise inside getting louder and louder.

This is the responsibility of this king, and this king is his own responsibility

Since the official is in charge of Dali Temple, he can't be made by His Royal Highness, and this matter is impossible

The noise inside became louder and louder, and most of the Dali Temple was alarmed, and many middle and low-level officials all came out of their respective offices, looking in the direction of the old grandson's office, and their ears were all pricked up, but just when everyone was puzzled, they saw Li Zhen walking out of the old grandson's office with an angry face, and muttered unrelentingly: If you want to try the case of the East Palace, you will make trouble with Your Majesty if you have the ability, and you will be very nervous with this king, hum! While talking hatefully, he walked to the yamen without looking back.

Ah, that's bad. As soon as he saw Li Zhen leaving in a bad mood, Pei Hongxu's face turned white, he stomped his feet violently, and rushed out after Li Zhen's back
