Datang Nongwang

Chapter 871 Dissatisfied verbal decree

After the greetings, Wang Li went back to the palace to ask for instructions.

As soon as Wang Li left, Li Chongyuan came out of his cell and came to Zheng Wu's cell, looking at Zheng Wu and the others who were imprisoned inside, "Several, in the past few days, you have come to You have enjoyed Qingfu, and you don't need to go out to work. But, in the future, you are afraid that your good days will come to an end."

"Hmph!" Zheng Wu and the others didn't care what Li Chongyuan said at all.

He even didn't care about Li Chongyuan's remarks at all.

Li Chongyuan dared to abolish Cui Tong, dared to abolish Xu Jingzong, dared to abolish Fang Yiyi.But they were already imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, and they were nervous at all whether Li Chongyuan would abolish them.

As for their charges in the end, they were also not worried at all.

Whether it's the Zheng family, or the Xue family, or even the school captain Jiang's family, none of them belong to small families.

Even if it is a big aristocratic family like the Zheng family and the Xue family, it is not afraid that they will be convicted of any crime.

As long as they are still alive and not disabled like Xu Jingzong and the others, even if they are charged with some crimes, they will be exiled and sent to some remote county to serve as officials.

At that time, as long as someone helps them operate and operate, they can also recover.

But they forgot.

Li Chongyuan still has such a high-level official position as the Minister of Justice hanging on his head.

but.

They are still not worried.

At least, even if the current Li Chongyuan was released from Dali Temple by Li Shimin, he would be grounded when he returned home.

As long as Li Chongyuan is within the time limit, they may be convicted of exile and distribution under the operation of others.

At that time, even if Li Chongyuan lifted the restraint, or whatever, he would not be able to convict them of any other crimes.

This is how they ignore Li Chongyuan.

but.

Li Chongyuan also ignored their state of ignoring himself, turned his head to look at Li Zhao who had already helped him pack his things, and said: "Cousin, as the young minister of Dali Temple, how can you ignore the regulations like this. Look, just That captain, a small sixth-rank captain, how is he qualified to live in such a cell? I remember that the innermost cells of Dali Temple are for officials below the fifth rank."

"Yes, yes, it was my negligence, and I locked a little captain in such a cell. But after you reminded me, it seems that they can't be held here, they should be held inside It's right to go." Li Zhao was so impressed by Li Chongyuan that he immediately understood Li Chongyuan's thoughts.

Come on.

As far as the cell where Li Chongyuan was being held, and the cells nearby, it was the cell where the third-rank officials were held.

Further inside, there are those of the fourth rank, then those of the fifth rank, and the innermost part is the place where officials below the fifth rank are imprisoned.

Don't look at the prison in Dali Temple as a prison for detaining officials, but there are also grades in this prison.

A good cell, a clean cell, is for people with status and status, not for people like Zheng Wu.

At first.

Zheng Wu and the others were thrown into the prison of Dali Temple. The Dali Temple that brought them in did not dare to offend Zheng Wu and the others. Naturally, they would take special care of them.

And this kind of care is only to imprison them in cells that only third-rank officials can stay in.

At least.

The cells of the third-rank criminals are at least much cleaner than those of the fourth-rank, fifth-rank, and below, and the prison meals they enjoy are much better, no matter what else they are.

Why would a monastery do this?
It is simply because Zheng Wu and others are members of aristocratic families and gentry clans.

Moreover.

Criminal officials like Zheng Wu were thrown into the prison of Dali Temple. Without Li Shimin's special confession, they would definitely enjoy the treatment that others cannot enjoy.

Just like the present.

And this time.

After Zheng Wu and the others heard the words of Li Chongyuan's cousins, they immediately became angry from embarrassment, "Li Chongyuan, don't go too far."

"Hehe, too much? Am I too much? I think back then, you conspired to frame me in the Misty Rain Pavilion, we haven't discussed it properly, so that's where it is. But don't be too happy It's too early, even if Li Chongyuan is grounded by the Holy Spirit, you won't feel much better. Just wait!" Li Chongyuan said, brushing the messy hair in front of his eyes.

Zheng Wu and the others actually knew it too.

As far as the cell they were detained in belonged to the cell where the third-rank officials stayed, it was true that they shouldn't.

But how could they, who were once aloof, bear Li Chongyuan's words.

Moreover, they understood that Li Chongyuan's cousin, Li Zhao, would definitely greet them after what Li Chongyuan said.

And their grades will also be from the fifth grade.

According to reason, he must be imprisoned in the cell on the fifth rank.

And there, mess is inevitable.

They were even more certain that in the days when no substantive charges were obtained in the future, Li Chongyuan's cousin of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple would definitely not make it easier for them.

Any meal is likely to be the worst, let alone others.

This is why Zheng Wu and the others became angry from embarrassment, and it was also because they were afraid that Li Chongyuan would take this opportunity to punish them.

整？
That is inevitable.

How could Li Chongyuan let such an opportunity finally come to him.

Li Zhao, who was pointed out by Li Chongyuan, directly called the jailer and took Zheng Wu and others inside.

And Li Chongyuan also followed.

When Li Chongyuan came to the innermost part of the prison, he was still a little dissatisfied with what he saw, "Oh!!! According to me, this prison has to look like a prison, how can it be so clean and tidy! Also, what are the tables and stools here for? This is not a restaurant, is it used to entertain guests! And this bed, made so well, this is not the place where criminals should stay. "

It's hard for Li Chongyuan to let people get out, after all, this is not his territory, and it's not Li Chongyuan's turn to give orders.

After Li Zhao heard this, he looked at Li Chongyuan as if he understood, and said: "Shande, this place is like this, according to what you said, you have to ask the Minister of the Temple for instructions."

"That's right, why don't you ask your Dali Temple Minister Chu Siqing for instructions? I believe that he will definitely consider my opinion." Li Chongyuan said with a smirk on his face.

When Li Chongyuan's words just fell to the ground, several footsteps came from the direction behind Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw the forbidden army stepping out of the way.

Li Chongyuan took advantage of the dim light to see that the person was the Minister of Dali Temple.

The Minister of Dali Temple is Chu Suiliang, a very trusted minister of Li Shimin.

Since Chu Suiliang came back this year after being ordered by Li Shimin to tour the whole Tang Dynasty, he was promoted to the Minister of the Dali Temple, and at the same time served as the original post, the servant of the Huangmen.

When Huangmen Shilang was in Han Dynasty, he originally belonged to the Shaofu.

But with the establishment of the system of three provinces and six ministries, the post of servant of the Huangmen belongs to the province of Menxia.

The official position of Huangmen servant can be said to be very special.

It can be said that with this official position, he can freely enter and leave the palace and see the emperor at any time.

Of course, those who can serve as the servants of the Huangmen are all officials who are highly trusted by Li Shimin. After all, the servants of the Huangmen are not only free to enter and leave the palace, but also Li Shimin's official ministers, servants, officials, etc. An official position of the prime ministers of the lower provinces.

If the prime minister wanted to ask the emperor for instructions, he had to go through the Huangmen servant to ask for instructions.

Of course, the servant of the Huangmen could not really see the emperor at any time, and there were still restrictions.

For example, like Wang Li, the chief internal officer, if the servant of Huangmen wants to see the emperor at any time, he still needs to pass through Wang Li, the internal chief.

After all, although the servant of Huangmen is an attendant, he is definitely not comparable to a close attendant like Wang Li.

At present, there are two people who are serving as the servants of the Huangmen Gate, but they are not permanent.

And the Chu Suiliang in front of him is one of the servants of the Huangmen, and he is only one.

Chu Suiliang was born in a noble family, and his father had served as a regular servant of Sanqi in the previous dynasty.

At that time, the previous dynasty was in chaos, and Xue Ju, who was born in the Xue family in Hedong, separatist, claimed to be the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, and his reign name was Qin Xing.

However, in the second year after Xue Ju became emperor, he won the battle with Tang Jun Li Shimin and others. When he wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, he died of illness suddenly.

Also that year, due to Xue Ju's sudden death, Li Shimin counterattacked and surrounded Xue Ju's son Xue Rengao. Xue Rengao surrendered to Li Shimin.

Gradually, Chu Suiliang was appreciated by Li Shimin because of his talent and knowledge. In the tenth year of Zhenguan (636), he was trusted by Li Shimin and served as a living man.

Later, in the 12th year of Zhenguan (638), he served as a servant.

Later, he was promoted to admonishment doctor, and after that, he was appointed as the servant of the Huangmen.

up to now.

Chu Suiliang's official position is getting higher and higher, and getting bigger and bigger.

According to normal history, Chu Suiliang would be promoted to Prime Minister Shangshu Youpushe in the fourth year of Yonghui (653) when Li Zhi came to power after the death of Li Shimin.

What happened later, Li Chongyuan didn't know, and didn't want to know.

But right now, Li Chongyuan knew that Chu Suiliang, who was trusted by Li Shimin very much, was a neutral person.

In Li Chongyuan's news, at least so far, he has not been found to be Chu Suiliang, or anyone who has Chu Suiliang among those who criticize him and covet his high-yield grain.

Li Chongyuan, on the other hand, has some good feelings for anyone who is not opposite to him.

Just like Wei Zheng, and this Chu Suiliang in front of him.

Chu Suiliang passed through the forbidden army and came not far from Li Chongyuan. He looked Li Chongyuan up and down and said, "The words that Li Junwang said just now made me appreciate it very much. Prisons really should have prisons. Look, that's true."

"Chu Siqing seems to be of the same kind. Since Chu Siqing agrees with me, it is better to let Chu Siqing issue orders and change the prison of Dali Temple into a prison." Li Chongyuan said happily.

It is rare that Chu Suiliang in front of him agrees with him so much, which also makes Li Chongyuan have a better impression of Chu Suiliang.

As for Li Chongyuan's understanding of this person, he only knew a thing or two from the history books.

Oppose to establish Wu Zetian as queen, there is him.

It can be seen that Chu Suiliang also knew that it would be a disaster for Wu Zetian to be the empress.

Li Chongyuan did not object to women being in power, but he had to consider Wu Zetian's appointment of cruel officials, killing too much.

Moreover, after Wu Zetian came to power, although his merits outweighed his demerits, Li Chongyuan had to consider his own future and the future of his descendants.

As for the Chu Suiliang in front of him, according to historical records, he opposed making Wu Zetian the empress.

From this point of view, Li Chongyuan coincided with Chu Suiliang.

On the other hand, now that Chu Suiliang is so sure of Li Chongyuan's opinion, this makes Li Chongyuan appreciate Chu Suiliang a lot, even if the other party is more than 20 years older than himself, he has experienced more things than Li Chongyuan, but it is not less He Li Chongyuan admired him.

With a smile on his face, Chu Suiliang pointed in the direction of Miyagi, "You are too impatient, Li Junwang, this matter is not something that can be done immediately, and it's not that the old man is unwilling to change, but that this matter has to be passed through the Holy Majesty." Just do it."

"If that's the case, then it's better to ask Chu Siqing to ask the emperor for instructions. However, according to my opinion, Chu Siqing is the Dali Temple secretary, and it is not a violation of the law but a violation of the rules. It doesn't matter. Besides, this Dali Temple is your site, and the Holy Majesty trusts Chu Siqing so much. Chu Siqing just changed the prison of Dali Temple a little bit. The Holy Majesty will never blame Chu Siqing. Yours." Li Chongyuan really wanted to see the prison change now, and his words were all direct.

After Chu Suiliang heard this, he still shook his head, "This old man is a minister, and the sage is the son of heaven. The minister must not violate what the emperor decides. However, as King Li Jun said, the old man will definitely ask the sage for instructions. And this time, I will come to I came here to convey the dictation of the Holy Master to you, Li Jun Wang, not to talk about the method of changing the prison."

"It turns out that Chu Siqing came here under the command of the sage, so it's my fault, please let Chu Siqing convey the holy meaning." Li Chongyuan straightened his clothes quickly and bowed.

As for the change of the prison, since Chu Suiliang was unable to make this decision, no matter what Li Chongyuan said about this matter, he might not be able to make it.

If it doesn't work, just wait.

Chu Suiliang said solemnly: "The sage ordered: Li Chongyuan, the powerful weapon in your hand must not be brought into the palace in the future. After five days, hand over the weapon to Wang Li."

wipe.

Li Chongyuan was dumbfounded after hearing this.

The short gun that I carry with me is nothing if I don't bring it into the palace.

But Li Shimin wanted to take away his own short gun, and it was obvious that he wanted to put Li Chongyuan in danger and ignore it.

Li Chongyuan was upset, and he was also dissatisfied with Li Shimin's actions.

but.

Li Chongyuan did not express dissatisfaction in front of Chu Suiliang, so he had to bow and salute, and sang "here".

Li Chongyuan was very dissatisfied.

but.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't ask Wang Li to confiscate his short blunderbuss, but gave him five days, which made Li Chongyuan take care of it.

"The short gun is going to be taken away. I can't let you know the structure of the short gun. After I return home, I must destroy the short gun, so as not to let you and Li Shimin learn it." '
