Chapter 352: The Raccoon Parrot Dispute
Timely update, "Qianwen Qian" pounced on the bird cage, grabbed the bird cage with one paw, and reached into the cage with one paw to catch the parrot, the bird cage was pounced by him, swaying left and right on the shelf, and the parrot inside jumped around in fright and screamed.
Seeing this scene, several palace maids waiting in the palace hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Fighting inside and outside the cage were the emperor's two pets, which one of them they did not dare to hurt, and it took a lot of effort to separate them, the parrot fluttered its feathers on the ground, and shrank in a corner of the cage in horror, and "Qianwenqian" was held in his arms, staring at a pair of cat eyes, and looked at its lost prey with regret.
Wu Zetian naturally saw all this in his eyes, which made her laugh and laugh out loud.
"Come, come, bring my cat and my parrot, and show me these two restless little ones."
Wu Zetian said with a smile, and when the two pets were in front of him, Wu Zetian held the civet cat in his arms, and looked at the parrot on the case, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
She was a person who was very fond of speculating on things from some visions and signs, and when she saw the tanuki and the frightened parrot in her arms, she suddenly thought, "Tanuki, tanuki......, tanuki?" Plum? Parrot, Wu? Isn't this dispute between the tanuki and the parrot a metaphor for the dispute between the Li family and the Wu family, which is a warning from God to me? ”
At this time, Wei Tuan'er finished dealing with some things, rushed to the palace, and listened to the palace maid tell what had just happened, so he came to Wu Zetian and said with a smile: "Everyone, of course this cat and parrot can't be locked up in one place." How can they coexist? Let's hand over the cat to Tuan'er, and Tuan'er will give it a proper place. Save it the idea of hitting this parrot again. ”
Wu Zetian said slowly: "Tanuki and parrot, are they really incompatible?" ”
Tuan'er covered his mouth and smiled: "Everyone." When the cat sees the parrot, can it still satisfy its appetite? If they want to be together, it's no wonder that they can be safe. ”
"It's man-made!"
Wu Zetian said very seriously, as if he had been inspired by something, and his eyes flashed frequently.
Her hand clung to the imposing tanuki to prevent it from pounce on the table. While caressing its fur thoughtfully and soothing it, he said to Wei Tuan'er: "I like this tanuki, you take it away." Train well and go to its wildness! ”
Wei Tuan'er agreed and took the cat from Wu Zetian's hand.
Wu Zetian said again: "The tanuki and the parrot must not be safe and sound?" I don't think so! The whole world is mine, and I can't cure a tanuki? Tuan'er, you train it well, no matter what method you use, you must let this tanuki and this parrot live in the same room and not invade each other! ”
"Huh?"
Wei Tuan'er hugged the tanuki, his face was bitter, and the tanuki ate birds. This is instinct, how can they be allowed to live in the same room without invading each other!
"Qianwen Qian" struggled in Wu Zetian's arms for a long time, and he didn't reach the parrot on the case, but at this time, he was held in his arms by Wei Tuan'er, and he was at eye level with the parrot, and he could see each other clearly, and he was even more itchy and scratchy, and he struggled a few times. Unable to break free from Wei Tuan'er's embrace, he got annoyed, raised his claws and scratched hard.
A few blood marks suddenly appeared on the back of Wei Tuan'er's delicate palm, and she let go of her hand with a sigh of pain, and the cat jumped on the case vigorously, hitting the birdcage overturned, and Gollum fell off the case. The parrot was screaming and jumping in the cage, its wings were fanning wildly, and the feathers that fell off were fluttering one after another, making Wu Zetian sneeze several times in a row.

When Lai Junchen rushed to Lichun Terrace, he saw that it seemed to have just been cleaned up after a chaos, and he was very puzzled. However, he didn't dare to ask more, he was still decent, lying on the ground and giving Wu Zetian a unique gift to Wu Zetian in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and said respectfully: "The minister is Junchen, knock to see Bixia!" ”…,
"Get up! Laiqing, how did you deal with Di Renjie's people? ”
As soon as Lai Junchen stood up, he hurriedly bent down again, and said: "Playing bixia, the minister knows them with affection, moves them with reason, and touches them with bixia's compassion and generosity." For those who are too stubborn, they collect evidence from many sources, and with conclusive evidence, they are irrefutable and have to bow their heads and confess their guilt. ”
"Really?"
Wu Zetian glanced at him lightly and said, "They all confessed their guilt on their own?" ”
Lai Junchen said: "Yes! As soon as they were arrested, Di Renjie knew that the general trend was gone, so he took the lead in confessing, and after that, Ren Zhigu, Pei Xingben and others pleaded guilty one after another. So far, only one Wei Yuanzhong refused to admit his guilt, Hou Sizhi wanted to torture him, and as soon as he was hanged, the minister knew about it and immediately rushed to stop him.
The minister thought that it was not appropriate to use severe punishment against these ministers, because once a heavy punishment was used, it would inevitably give people the suspicion of being beaten into a trick. They must be fair and compelled to admit guilt with irrefutable facts. ”
"Hmmm......"
Wu Zetian said slowly: "It is true that no punishment was used to extract a confession by torture?" ”
Lai Junchen said with a smile: "How dare the minister speak falsely to Bixia, the case that the minister personally tried and the case that the minister handled and interrogated can guarantee that there has never been a big punishment!" Don't dare to hide it from Bixia, because Bixia has not yet issued an edict to confirm their crimes and announce them to the world, so they still have official bodies, and the ministers have not even stripped off their court uniforms, how can the ministers torture them? ”
Wu Zetian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, how could Di Renjie pass on the blood book and complain to me?" ”
Wu Zetian said, throwing a ball of cloth in his hand towards Lai Junchen, the cloth was soft, floating to the ground in mid-air, Lai Junchen hurriedly caught up a few steps, bent down to pick up the cloth, unfolded it, and scolded in his heart: "Wang Deshou, this stupid talent, tell him to keep an eye on that old fox, how can he still pass the blood book out!" ”
Lai Junchen thought in his heart, but he made a look of shock and grievance on his face, and said, "This ...... I don't know! Maybe this Di Renjie is afraid of death and knows that Bixia has always favored him, so he ...... The grievance is false, the plea is true, I hope Bixia will be soft-hearted and spare his life! ”
"Is that going to be the case? Di Renjie is in the name of grievances. Want my mercy? ”
Wu Zetian hesitated, and Shangguan Wan'er looked at Lai Junchen. glanced at Wu Zetian again, and gently narrowed his eyes. He said softly: "Lai Zhongcheng has always been loyal to the country, and it is an arm that everyone can trust. However, if the prime minister complains, if the emperor does not ask, it will not only hinder the emperor's reputation. Yu Lai Zhongcheng also got in the way......"
Wu Zetian turned his head and asked, "What is Wan'er's opinion?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Why didn't Bixia mention Di Renjie and the others to ask in person before coming to the palace?" ”
When this sentence came out, Lai Junchen let out a "porphyr" in his heart, and his heart was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his cavity. immediately pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Shangguan is waiting to be controlled, this is wrong!" The imperial court has its own laws, how can there be a reason to personally try the prisoner with the dignity of the emperor? Where does this act set the law of the state? Where are the three priests placed? As soon as this example is opened, future emperors can follow suit and intervene in the judiciary at any time. ”
Shangguan Wan'er immediately said: "In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong once interrogated and released 390 death row prisoners to go home to reunite with their relatives, and a year later they went to Beijing to be punished!" In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Hou Junji rebelled, and Emperor Taizong also met in private, saying: "For the sake of the king." I can't bear to go to Lingyan Pavilion anymore. 'Emperor Taizong did it, but my Great Zhou Emperor couldn't do it?' ”
Although Lai Junchen came from a humble background, he has partial talents, and he can make up the "Luo Weaving Sutra" and frame the whole person, how can he not have any real skills.
He immediately retorted: "It is true that Taizong released the prisoners to reunite with their relatives!" But that was the decision made by Emperor Taizong when he 'recorded prisoners' according to the rules, rather than arraignment of special persons and cases. This year's prison period has not yet arrived, so it cannot be cited as a precedent. …,
As for Emperor Taizong's secret room, it is a folk legend. Since it is a secret room, how can others know about it? Even Emperor Taizong said that everything was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. It shows its falsehood. There is no such thing in Taizong's living records. Who said this?
If Emperor Taizong really didn't want Hou Junji in his private room, knowing that he would die, and weeping for this speech, Hou Junji could have begged the Son of Heaven at that time to pardon one of his sons and keep his bloodline, so why did he say this hope on the execution ground, and the prison officer played the Son of Heaven and pardoned one of his sons and exiled him to Lingnan? ”
Wan'er's talent is mainly her literary talent and ability to handle government affairs, and her knowledge of criminal prisons may not be comparable to Lai Junchen, who wrote "Luo Weaving Sutra". She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and her talent for finding people's handles, finding loopholes, and arguing can't be compared with a market hooligan like Lai Junchen.
However, relying on her knowledge of the past and the present, and she is familiar with all kinds of allusions, she can list them one by one at this time, but she can also have a separate argument with Lai Junchen. The two of them were arguing here, Wu Zetian's energy gradually declined, and he felt upset, so he said: "Okay, okay, you two don't tell me about the ancients." In this case, I will send an official to the prison to see if he has been tortured. Xiao Hai, passing the decree, ordered Qi Feng, the general secretary, to go to the deacon's house to inspect whether the detained officials had been punished. ”
"Slave Command!"
Xiao Hai withdrew from the palace, Lai Junchen's eyes rolled, and he said: "Even if Bixia doesn't summon the ministers today, the ministers will come to the palace to report, someone broke into the magistrate's courtyard last night and tried to rob the prison!" ”
Wu Zetian was taken aback when he heard this, and his slight tiredness was swept away, and he hurriedly asked, "Someone dares to rob the prison?" ”
Lai Junchen said: "Yes! There were probably no less than ten of them, all of them skillful, and they went on a killing spree in the deacon's courtyard, and then they called a large number of guards to escape, and they killed fifteen of the jailers and wounded them...... There was no one, and the attack was extremely vicious......"
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered what a guard commander who had experienced last night's prison robbery had said to him: "Zhongcheng, although that person has covered it up, he can conclude that she is a woman, and this woman is extremely skillful, almost enchanting!" Suddenly lightning and thunder, suddenly soft wind and drizzle, like the venom of a snake......"
Lai Junchen said in his heart: "But I don't know who this woman is, and she sneaked into the prison to save which official she wanted to get out." This person's martial arts are so high, if the target is me, it is really worrying. I don't know if the six close-fitting masters I hired with a lot of money are the opponents of this person. When I get back, I'll have to hire some more martial arts masters to protect me!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er was secretly thinking about how to use Di Renjie's grievances to make a big fuss, it doesn't matter if she can't save Di Renjie and the others, at least she has to bail Yang Fan out, when she heard Junchen's words, she was like ice and snow, and her heart was cold: "Someone robbed the prison?" This sucks! ”
