Tang Ping never thought that the lie detector he used to assist in solving the case would be made out of a confession by the Cheng family's father and son.

So much so that afterwards, those former Chang'an gentlemen looked at themselves strangely.

But before the Chinese New Year, there was finally good news.

The two children who had been taken away by Qin Liu's lame man were recovered.

All the photos of the children were sent 800 miles to the places where the abductors confessed to them.

And there are those who are close, and there are already parents who have lost their children who are rushing to Chang'an.

Cheng Chumo also proposed marriage to the daughter of the county magistrate of Shanglu County.

Fang Yiai confessed that he stole Fang Xuanling's treasured calligraphy and paintings to sell them for money and was beaten.

Anyway, everything can make Tang Ping happy.

Apart from......

With kids!

is not to bring his own Tang Tang, but to bring those children who were abducted to Chang'an by abductors in the palace.

Wang Qingluan's mother's love was overflowing, so she had to come to the palace to take care of one or two, and even brought Tang Ping with her.

If one or two children are cute, then such a large group of children is a nightmare.

Although there were many palace people with them, Tang Ping still felt dizzy.

It was easy to find an excuse, slipped out, and bumped into Li Shimin again.

"Brother Ping, go, walk with me."

"Yes!"

The two didn't go anywhere else, they went directly to a section of the palace wall, Li Shimin waved away the left and right guards, and then sat down cross-legged without any manners.

"Hey, it's finally the New Year, so you can relax." Li Shimin took out a small metal wine jug from his arms: "I have to say, your proposal for this Spring Festival holiday is very good." ”

"It's not a bad thing to miss your relatives every festive season, and give everyone a holiday during the New Year, so that everyone and their families can get together more. Our Datang is now thriving in national strength, and although the work cannot be completed, it is not in a hurry to do it in these ten days and half a month. ”

"Well said!" Li Shimin took a sip of wine himself, and then asked Tang Ping: "Take a sip?" ”

Tang Ping shook his head, and Li Shimin did not persuade him: "You kid is good at everything, but the amount of alcohol is too bad!" ”

Then he asked: "I think of my relatives every festival, and I said it well, who wrote this poem?" ”

"In our case, it should have been written by a man named Wang Wei decades later." Tang Ping said honestly.

Li Shimin now knows that the place where Tang Ping came is not heavenly, but a future with a different history, so he doesn't hide it.

"Decades from now!" Li Shimin leaned against the female wall and looked up at the sky: "I don't know what the Tang Dynasty will look like in a few decades?" ”

"I think it will be stronger than it is now, and the people will eat better and dress warmer. When children reach the age of age, they can go to the school to study, some people can go to the hospital to see a doctor for free, and when the holidays are over, the people in the north can go to the south to play and eat seafood! ”

"Hahahaha, you kid, what's this called?" Li Shimin sat on the ground and gently kicked Tang Ping: "Yes, this is what you said about painting cakes, right?" But the second uncle likes to hear it, and your cake is also good for wine. ”

As he spoke, he took two more sips of wine.

Tang Ping smelled the smell and knew that this was a medicinal wine specially prepared by the imperial doctor in the palace, and with Li Shimin's amount of wine, this small pot was not excessive, so he didn't persuade much.

"It's a pity that the world looks peaceful today, but there are a lot of people around us who beat our Datang idea!" Li Shimin sighed: "Look at how many spies from various countries were found out a few years ago? ”

"They sent so many spies, in fact, it shows that we are strong, as long as we continue to be strong, they will have no chance."

Li Shimin heard the meaning behind Tang Ping's words, and said with a smile: "What? Or is it unwilling to fight? ”

"It's not that I don't want to, it's really ......" Tang Ping thought for a while: "After experiencing the battle of Fort City, I am really a little afraid. ”

He didn't say it explicitly, but Li Shimin knew that he was afraid, not afraid of war, but afraid of those Tang sergeants who died because of the war.

"But some battles can't be fought, Brother Ping!" Li Shimin drank up the last pot of medicinal wine and said: "Since you have to fight sooner or later, why don't you take advantage of my still existence and try to finish beating him, leaving Chengqian and them a peaceful world?" ”

"The second uncle is right!" Tang Ping nodded in agreement, not to mention other surrounding countries, Dongyue and Tubo must be defeated, and even Miaoman and a large territory in the south must be defeated in order to complete the strategic layout of the Tang Dynasty.

"After the New Year, your ironclad ship should be better, right?"

"Yes, now the whole ship is already equipped with the Franci cannon sent by Li Tai, and it will be launched after the New Year."

"The Battle of East Vietnam, are you going?"

"I'm going, I promised them."

Li Shimin stood up and looked out of the city, at the end of Suzaku Avenue, he could see the upper body of the monument statue standing outside the city gate, Tang Ping said that they were the soldiers who died in Baozi City.

patted Tang Ping on the shoulder: "Okay, then spend the New Year with peace of mind, and get ready to go after the New Year!" ”

Then Li Shimin asked a little narrowly: "I heard that you have made a polygraph, but you have been jumping chickens and dogs for the major princes in the past few days!" ”

The reason why it is said to be the princely mansions of the major countries is also because the courtiers below the national prince are not able to borrow Tang Ping's lie detector.

"Second uncle, you have wronged people! That thing was originally used by me to interrogate prisoners, but Lu Guogong must have borrowed it, and then he and Cheng Chumo invited Fang Xiang, Du Xiang, and General Wei Chi over, can you blame me? ”

"Hahahaha, I think it's very good, these boys have grown up, so naturally they have to hurry up!"

Li Shimin laughed heartily, and then asked, "Do you think that lie detector can really detect all lies?" ”

"Naturally, no!" Tang Ping shook his head: "This thing, it must have a role, but it can only be used on ordinary people or children like Cheng Chumo who are not deeply involved in the world." ”

"Those specially trained spies, or those who are determined and determined, may not be able to measure accurately, just like that old ...... That Lu Guogong is like that, he believes what he can say if he is cheeky and liared, so naturally he can't detect it. ”

"Hey......" Li Shimin let out a long sigh and looked in the direction of the northeast: "It would be nice if I could know who is sincere and who is false!" ”

Tang Ping looked at Li Shimin's appearance and knew that he remembered Hou Junji again.

Although Tang Ping doesn't like Hou Junji, for Li Shimin, he is a real brother who fights the world with him!

Betrayal is the most hurtful thing to do.

Tang Ping also knew that Li Shimin had sent a will to let Hou Jun return to Chang'an, but he was rejected by the other party because of his ill health, and instead came with a letter, saying that he had not been reunited with his family for a long time, and hoped that Li Shimin would approve his family to go to the current Beiyan Protectorate.

Because the Turks are naturally facing the Tang Dynasty now, hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops are by Hou Junji's side, and he himself is empty.

Therefore, after attacking the Northern Yan, he asked the imperial court to set up the Northern Yan Protectorate, and then took his own troops and incorporated some remnants of the Northern Yan Army, a total of about 110,000 people, stationed in the Northern Yan Protectorate.

And the Turkic Protectorate has already sent Xingguo Duke Su Dingfang to take over.

"Hey, forget it, let's go, let's go down, it's cold, it's windy!" Li Shimin sighed and said.

"Second uncle, will you use me to help you down?" Tang Ping stretched out his hand, but it was opened by Li Shimin.

"Hehe, just like you, I can beat you ten times by drinking this little wine, do you believe it or not?"

Tang Ping smiled bitterly, an immediate emperor like Li Shimin said that he would look up to him if he beat him ten.

I went down the palace wall and went back to the courtyard where I started, and at this time, I don't know whose idea it was, and I got a lot of food for those bear children.

The little ones will all sit obediently on the blankets on the ground and eat.

"These are the future of our Datang!" Li Shimin looked at them and said, "I plan to sentence those who resell children with serious circumstances to death, and what do you think of the remaining and 30 years of labor camp for the purchase of children?" ”

Tang Ping nodded and said, "It should be so!" ”

He never felt that there was any suggestion that a heavy sentence would make it easier for a kidnapper to harm a child, whether it was a heavy sentence or not, that those people had no humanity and would hurt children.

Therefore, it is better to increase the punishment at the beginning as a deterrent.

In particular, buying and selling is the same crime, which can be a fear for those who buy children from kidnappers.

There is no market without buying and selling, and only in this way can these acts of child theft and sale be fundamentally solved.

At this moment, a child stumbled over, and his hands were full of red and fresh jam after eating the persimmon.

Then he snapped and fell to the ground, his hand coincidentally grabbing the hem of Li Shimin's dragon robe.

The gold hem adds a touch of red to it.

Some palace people were shocked, and with one negligence, they let this kid collide with His Majesty.

Your Majesty will definitely not be embarrassed by this child, but I am afraid that I will be frustrated.

"Your Majesty's atonement, Your Majesty's atonement, it's a slave who deserves to die......"

"Alright, don't scare the kids!" Li Shimin waved his hand to let the palace people retreat, and then leaned over and picked up the child: "Little guy, why are you running so fast?" ”

"Eat...... "The child is estimated to be more than a year old, and he can speak, but he can't express what he means, just holding up the persimmon in his hand and saying.......

"Hahaha, second uncle, this kid knows how to shoot the emperor's horses at such a young age?"

"What nonsense?" Li Shimin glanced at Tang Ping: "This is my people, this is to send me something good, isn't it, little guy." ”

"Well, uncle...... Eat...... Fruit! ”

Li Shimin didn't dislike the fruit that had been bitten in half, and it was still pinched dirty, so he just took a bite.

"Well, sweet! Really sweet! Li Shimin put the child down, looked at the children in the yard, and smiled happily:

"Get ready, let's celebrate the New Year!"
