"Good grandson, my poor child!" Old Mrs. Yin read her daughter Yin Wenjiao's bloody letter, couldn't help but burst into tears, hugged her grandson Jiang Liu'er and cried bitterly.

Hugging his head and crying for a while, Jiang Liu'er stopped crying, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Mrs. Yin's face carefully, stood up and said to his grandfather Yin Kaishan: "The revenge of killing my father is not shared, and my grandson once swore in front of the Buddha to kill Liu Hong, the evil thief, and begged my grandfather to help my grandson avenge his hatred." ”

Yin Kaishan, who had calmed down, waved his hand and said: "Grandson, this is natural, the family doesn't need to say much! However, that Liu Hongpifu is now in the position of Jiangzhou governor, although he is stealing the official position, but he is also an official of the imperial court, if you want to move him, take him, and kill him, you must report it to the emperor today." ”

"Grandson, relax your heart, tomorrow in the morning, your grandfather will report to the emperor. Yin Kaishan said while still sighing, sighing that he didn't know that such a shocking change had happened to his daughter for more than ten years, and she had suffered such a huge grievance and pain.

"Good grandson, you should be patient and stay in this mansion for one night, and wait for your grandfather to tell the emperor tomorrow before making a decision. Old Madam Yin comforted Jiang Liu'er on the side, not to be in a hurry.

"Okay, my grandson will listen to my grandfather and grandmother. Jiang Liuer replied. "However, there is a companion at the door who is walking with his grandson. ”

"Then please come into the mansion, and tell him to live here tonight, our house is big. "Old Madam Yin is very kind.

At the gate of Yin's mansion, Li Rong'er, who was waiting anxiously, was politely invited into the mansion by the people at the door.

Under the personal control of Mrs. Yin, Li Rong'er, who was disguised as a man, and Jiang Liu'er were arranged in a room, which made the two a little embarrassed, but fortunately the house was larger, with two rooms, inside and outside, and Li Rong'er, who was still shy and shy just now, unceremoniously occupied the room inside and drove Jiang Liu'er to the outside room to live.

The next morning

The resplendent Jinluan Palace

Sun Fujia, the secretary of the Dali Temple who was in charge of judicial prison proceedings, held the jade wat in his hand and went out to report to Emperor Taizong: "Your Majesty, the clans and relatives of the two parties of the abolished prince and the king of Qi and Yuanji have long been punished, but there are still many places in the name of cutting off the wings of the two parties of Jiancheng and Yuanji, wantonly eliminating dissidents, and the party is the same as the other, so that many innocent officials and ordinary people have been implicated, resulting in many unjust, false and wrongful cases, and some state capitals have aroused public resent......ment."

"Now that Your Majesty has ascended to the throne, you should be benevolent and gentle with the world. ”

"Well, what Sun Aiqing said is reasonable. Hearing this, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, nodded sympathetically.

"Dali Temple is in charge of my prison lawsuit, which is a matter of life and death, and I must not examine it carefully. I believe that people cannot be resurrected after death, so the use of criminal law must be lenient and simple. At present, when the yamen in charge of criminal law and prison litigation verifies and hears a case, it must conduct a thorough investigation and complete the evaluation of judicial officials accordingly. Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what methods can be used to make the judiciary fair and reasonable?"

Hearing that Emperor Taizong had asked his ministers in public about the issue of judicial and criminal law, the counselor Wang Qi immediately went out of his class and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that they should elect people who are just, upright, and kind; at the same time, they should be fair and appropriate in judging cases; and in addition, increase the salaries and rewards of judicial officials. With these three things, then the phenomenon of treachery and hypocrisy will naturally be reduced and subsided. ”

"Wang Aiqing said so wow! Come on, give Wang Aiqing and Sun Aiqing ten taels of gold each. Emperor Taizong stroked his palms and smiled, and immediately gave heavy rewards to the courtiers who proposed governance strategies and countermeasures.

"Li Aiqing of the Criminal Department and Sun Aiqing of Dali Temple, the two of you quickly go to draft an edict, and I want to give amnesty to the world. Emperor Taizong stroked his long hair and stood up from the dragon chair.

"Obey the order!" Li Daozong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, both went out to receive the order.

"Dear Aiqing, I believe that if a good emperor appoints bad courtiers, then the country must not be well governed, and in the same way, if a good courtier serves a bad emperor, the country will be poorly governed. Therefore, to govern a country, it is necessary to have the unity and concerted efforts of the monarchs and ministers! I hope that all the Aiqing will always keep it in mind. ”

"Your Majesty, Shengming! The civil ministers and military generals on both sides of the hall bowed in unison.

Emperor Taizong, who had just ascended to the throne, was quite diligent in his administration, discussing state affairs with his ministers until noon.

After retiring from the dynasty, Yin Kaishan, who had been an old subordinate of King Qin and followed Li Shimin to conquer the north and south, knew a habit of Taizong Li Shimin, and knew that after the emperor retired from the dynasty, he would go to the imperial study to read and write for a while, and sleep here for a while, so Yin Kaishan strode towards the imperial study.

After the eunuchs who served the emperor were clear, Yin Kaishan stepped into the imperial study. Stepping through the door, I saw that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin had changed into a light bright yellow shirt. On the wide desk, Emperor Taizong is concentrating on copying the book sage Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface", when writing and copying the first line of books in the world, Taizong Li Shimin is very focused and devoted, and every word must be carefully figured out the exquisite artistic conception in the book of the holy words, especially when copying the word "zhi", Taizong carefully observed the characteristics and differences of many "zhi" characters in the post, so as to write each "zhi" character well, and deal with the details of each stroke in place.

Emperor Taizong copied Wang Xizhi's first book in the world unhurriedly, but Yin Kaishan, who was waiting on the side, was in a hurry.

"Your Majesty. Yin Kaishan finally couldn't help but speak.

"Oh, it's Yin Aiqing, you're here just in time, you come to see what I wrote. As he spoke, he motioned for Yin Kaishan to come closer and watch.

At this time, Yin Kaishan was anxious, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead the troops to capture Liu Hong's thief, but seeing that the emperor was sincerely invited to appreciate calligraphy, he pressed down an impatient heart and patiently watched Emperor Taizong's copying handwriting.

Although Yin Kaishan is a member of the army, he was also born in Xiucai in his early years, and he is familiar with pen and ink, and when he saw that the words in the emperor's handwriting were almost similar to the words on the post of "Lanting Collection Preface", he couldn't help but applaud and shout!

Emperor Taizong also laughed. Then, he asked casually, "Yin Aiqing, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, there is a great injustice in the minister's family. Yin Kaishan hurriedly started.

"Oh, what a big injustice? Yin Aiqing, you can tell me carefully. Emperor Taizong was very surprised.

So, Yin Kaishan, who had a sad and indignant face, said: "Your Majesty, Weichen originally had a son-in-law named Chen Guangrui, who was the new champion of the year. After the official selection examination, the imperial court appointed him as the assassin of Jiangzhou, and my son-in-law Chen Guangrui took my daughter to Jiangzhou to take up his post. ”

"Who would have thought that he was murdered by his fathers Liu Hong and Li Biao at the mouth of the Hongjiang River halfway, and the thief Liu Hong took my daughter Yin Wenjiao as his wife, and the son-in-law of the pretender minister has been an official in Jiangzhou for 18 years!"

"There is such a miracle?" Hearing this, Emperor Taizong gasped, and his surprise was overflowing.

"Your Majesty, this matter Weichen also read my daughter's blood book and learned that the reputation of my Yin family is small, but the murder of the court officials is big, and the thief who stole the official position of Liu Hong has not yet noticed it, and Weichen begged His Majesty to send troops immediately to eliminate the thieves. After playing, Yin Kaishan opened his court clothes and knelt down.

At this time, Emperor Taizong had already made up his mind, thinking that since I ascended the throne, at the beginning of the first year of Zhenguan, he taught all the people with benevolence and righteousness, and governed the world with law, which can be described as a combination of rigidity and softness. And traitors like Liu Hong, who both harm others and break the law, must be punished clearly and canonically to set an example!

Emperor Taizong pressed his big palm on the wide desk: "Yin Aiqing, please get up quickly! I promise you, you can immediately go to the teaching field to order troops, I promise you to personally command 5,000 soldiers and horses, and send troops to Jiangzhou! Be sure to take the thief who steals the official position!"

"Obey the order! Thank the emperor for his grace!" Yin Kaishan was immediately overjoyed, and bowed down to lead the order to go to the sect to order troops.
