Li Shimin's proposal to let the princesses learn from Xiangcheng was revealed under the concession and compromise of both sides, and the princess's mansion was not canceled, but all the princesses who married out were not allowed to disrespect their in-laws by virtue of their status.

Soon after this incident passed, another sad thing happened in the harem, Li Shimin's twelve times, Li Jian, who had just been crowned acting king, died of illness.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, Li Shimin ransomed the remnants of the Sui Dynasty who had fallen to the Turks with gold and silk fabrics, and made them return to their homeland.

On August 17, Li Shimin sent envoys to Goryeo to sacrifice the fallen of the former Sui Dynasty, and on August 21, Li Shimin killed Zhang Yungu in a fit of rage.

In early July, Tang Taizong received a report that a person named Li Haode in the market always pretended to be a ghost and discussed the government in vain.

This Li Haode's elder brother was an official of the Thousand Dynasties, and he served as the assassin of Xiangzhou during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, and he himself was also well-known among the people.

In the early years of Zhenguan, he claimed to be a god and descended to earth, often saying some ghosts and gods and strange things, fooling the people, after Taizong heard about it, he immediately ordered Li Haode to be arrested and imprisoned.

After Li Haode was arrested and imprisoned, he was imprisoned in Dali Temple, and Zhang Yungu, the Cheng of Dali Temple, was in charge of the trial.

Zhang Yungu has been smart since childhood, well-read, writes good articles, and has a superior memory.

The idiom of "backing the tablet and overturning the bureau" came from him, this Zhang Yungu not only read well, but also had a very deep insight into the political gains and losses of the imperial court, because of his outstanding performance, Zhenguan was transferred to Zhongshu Province in the second year (628) as an errand boy.

In the early Tang Dynasty, he was mainly responsible for drafting the emperor's edicts in Zhongshu Province, which was a new world for Zhang Yungu and could make great achievements.

Zhang Yungu firmly grasped this opportunity, and during his time in Zhongshu Province, in addition to doing his own work conscientiously, he also took a recital called "Dabaozhen".

He exhorted Tang Taizong Li Shimin to "rule the world with one person, not serve one person in the world", and exhorted him to cherish the people's power and not to be greedy for pleasure; Open the door to accept advice and listen to the minister's opinions with an open mind.

Don't be self-righteous and refuse to pretend to be wrong; It is necessary to be open-minded and generous, "Anbi on the opposite side", adhere to the policy of employing people from all over the world, and appease the former opposites.

Zhang Yungu's excerpt is not only well-written, but also thorough, for Li Shimin, who has just gone through the changes of Xuanwumen and needs to stabilize the situation and win people's hearts, it is like a good medicine.

After Li Shimin saw the song, Longxin was very happy, and immediately rewarded Zhang Yungu with two pieces of silk to show encouragement, and thought that letting him draft an edict in Zhongshu Province buried his talent, and promoted him to Dali Cheng.

Dali Cheng is the same as his previous official rank, all of them are from the sixth grade, but Dali Cheng is in charge of the trial of cases involving officials of the six departments of Shangshu Province and cases above prison sentences, and the responsibility is much heavier, which is obviously reused.

After Li Haode's case was handed over to Zhang Yungu, he did not make a judgment immediately, but went through multiple investigations and visits, and in the process, found that there was something strange.

This Li Haode was moody, intermittently mad-talking, often delirious, and suffering from a mental illness, and his remarks did not necessarily represent the opinions of the people, nor necessarily came from his own heart, and should not be punished according to the law.

Zhang Yungu reported the results of this investigation to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin's heart suddenly brightened up after reading it, and he was greatly pleased.

According to this, it seems that he is carefully governing for the people, and it is quite effective, the world is safe, and the whole world is in the heart, where is there any intention to slander his people?

As soon as Li Shimin was happy in his heart, he ordered the pardon of Li Haode's crimes.

When Zhang Yungu heard that the emperor felt that Li Haode was pardoned, he rushed to the prison, told Li Haode the good news, and set up a chessboard in the prison to play against Li Haode.

This move happened to be seen by the superintendent of the imperial history Quan Wanji, who saw Zhang Yungu actually set up a chessboard in the cell and played against Li Haode, and felt that it was very wrong, so he set out to investigate, and this investigation found out the problem.

Zhang Yungu's hometown is in Xiangzhou, and Li Haode's elder brother happened to be the assassin of Xiangzhou at that time, that is to say, Zhang Yungu knew Zhang Haode.

In this way, Zhang Haode's insanity is likely to be perjury made by Zhang Yungu in order to help him get rid of his crimes.

As soon as he thought of the words, Quan Wanji did not check again, and directly wrote a note to Zhang Yungu, that is, Zhang Yungu was the chief judge, not only guilty of deliberately covering up, but also guilty of perjury.

Li Shimin was furious when he saw this excerpt, and at the court meeting, he directly asked Zhang Yungu to be taken down.

Zhang Yungu was stunned, he didn't know what was going on, he shouted injustice vigorously, Li Shi had a black face, and threw him the paper that was involved in him, Zhang Yungu suddenly turned pale like paper after reading it, and couldn't say a word.

"Drag it down, and ask directly in Dongshi." Li Shimin said coldly.

"Wronged, wronged, Your Majesty." When Zhang Yungu heard this, he finally came to his senses and immediately struggled to cry out for injustice.

"Drag it off." But Li Shimin, who was full of anger and felt that he had been deceived, no longer wanted to listen to any of his quibbles, and Zhang Yungu at this moment was an out-and-out hypocrite in his eyes, a complete dirty villain.

Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Wei Zheng and others subconsciously wanted to persuade the emperor to calm down, but they looked at Li Shimin's face that was darker than the bottom of the pot, and the fold of accusing Zhang Yungu, and swallowed back the words that slipped to their mouths.

In their opinion, this Zhang Yungu's behavior is indeed inappropriate, not to mention whether he is really in cahoots with that good virtue.

But it would be inappropriate to say that he, as the chief judge, would have gone to report to the prisoner before the official pardon decree of the imperial court was issued, let alone openly playing chess with him in prison.

In this way, Zhang Yungu was confused and unjustly killed, Li Shimin was furious, and after going down to the court, he angrily went to the Lizheng Hall of Empress Changsun to tell her about it.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson didn't answer immediately, she groaned for a while before she spoke: "Since Zhang Yungu shouted injustice, why didn't Your Majesty give him a chance to defend himself?" ”

"Didn't Your Majesty always praise this man, thinking that he has a good heart, courage, and talent, and can do things? Such a person should not be able to collude with others to deceive His Majesty, maybe there is some misunderstanding in the middle. ”

"The Empress means that I may have misjudged?" Li Shimin frowned when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know the specific situation, it's not good to judge right and wrong at will, they just feel that human life is a matter of heaven, and Zhang Yungu has always had a good reputation before, no matter what, this matter should be thoroughly investigated." The eldest grandson queen said.

"There is no reason for what you say." Li Shimin's anger at this time has passed, and his reason has returned, he carefully recalled what Zhang Yungu has done in the past few years in Beijing, as well as the "Great Treasure Record" that he dedicated to himself, such a person is indeed not like a villain with a dirty heart.
