Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 213 This is the Thunder Mouse

Not long after, Li Zhiyun wrote to Emperor Li Yuan, requesting that the Turkic peace talks should be resolved as soon as possible, so as to avoid being restrained by the Turkic peoples in foreign conquests after the autumn harvest.

At the same time, King Qin followed up and demanded that the court must stabilize the Turks as soon as possible.Last time he almost beat Dou Jiande to death, but at the critical moment, the Turkic people stepped in, which caused him not to take Hebei.It can be said that the issues raised by Li Zhiyun won the approval of King Qin.

In this way, the court started a discussion, and after only three days, Li Yuan issued an order to let Liu Wenjing and Zheng Yuanxuan go to Turkic again, and at the same time bring Aosheshe with them, asking them to stabilize Turkic as soon as possible.

When Lao Li defeated Liu Wuzhou, he wanted to make a big one, but he had to give up because of food shortage.If he waited until he had food and the Turks jumped out to make trouble, he would regret it to death.

Therefore, this time, without hesitation, he asked Liu Wenjing and Zheng Yuanxuan to cooperate with Pei Ju, who was in Turkic, to settle Turkic as soon as possible and reach a peace agreement between the two parties.

The first task was progressing smoothly, so Li Zhiyun let go of it for the time being, and instead stayed wholeheartedly in the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate the prisoner.

Accompanying him is Li Chen, the minister of punishment.

The position of the Criminal Department in the early Tang Dynasty was actually quite embarrassing, because there was a bastard named Dali Temple who was more powerful than him.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the power of the Ministry of Criminal Justice could only target minor officials and civilians, and officials of the seventh rank or above, and the case must be presided over by Dali Temple.After the trial in Dali Temple is over, the Ministry of Punishment can be convicted and sent to prison.If Dali Temple feels that there is a problem with the decision of the Ministry of Punishment, it can play the emperor.

This is actually very embarrassing, because Dali Temple's business scope is obviously wider and its power is greater.The Ministry of Punishments can only manage officials and civilians of the seventh grade, but Dali Temple can manage 'officials and civilians'.Even sometimes, Dali Temple can also dictate the severity of the crimes determined by the Criminal Ministry according to the trial results of Dali Temple.

This is not over yet.

As the central criminal law institution, the Ministry of Punishment can manage cases all over the world, but Dali Temple also has this ability.What's more ridiculous is that after the Ministry of Criminal Justice has reviewed the cases in all states and counties in Dali Temple, they still have the right to review.

The reason why Huangfu Wuyi, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, did not want to get involved in the affairs of the court was because he knew that his Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice actually sounded good, and compared with Dali Temple, it was useless.

Of course, the Criminal Department is not purely a doormat. They have the power to execute sentences, supervise prisoners in various places, and detain prisoners.

These, Dali Temple does not have.

After figuring out the relationship between the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, Li Zhiyun also secretly felt that the wisdom of the ancestors was unimaginable, and the separation of powers and checks and balances had long been played by the ancestors to perfection.The so-called separation of powers in the beautiful country of later generations, in fact, is inexplicably similar to the system of three provinces and six ministries that gradually took shape in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Li Chen didn't like to talk, and sat quietly with a pen, listening to Li Zhiyun's interrogation of the prisoners, and he was in charge of recording.

This time Li Zhiyun interrogated a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, a fifth-rank official.In charge of operation and construction, such as city repairs and craftsman programs, are managed by the Ministry of Industry and Yuanwailang.Logically speaking, the theft of ordnance should have nothing to do with them, but the problem is that in the early Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the General Supervisor had overlaps in their work.

When it comes to ordnance manufacturing, the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry also manages part of the ordnance.

This is no way.

In fact, Li Zhiyun also knew that this incident had nothing to do with this unfortunate doctor of the Ministry of Industry, and the real thief should be Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but what can he do, everyone is a poor man who has been coerced.

"His Royal Highness, the minister has been wronged." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, with both hands hanging by chains, shouted at the top of his voice.

Of course I know you are wronged, but I can't say it.

"Sun Langzhong, you should recruit." Li Zhiyun repeated.He didn't know how many times he said this sentence.Knowing that Sun Langzhong was wronged, Li Zhiyun has already reduced his punishment.The scars on his body were all left by the animals in Dali Temple.

Zheng Shanguo is so ruthless, he would rather kill by mistake than release by mistake, and he will not be merciless in torture.

Sun Langzhong wept and pleaded bitterly, "Your Highness, I don't have the guts to go greedy for military equipment. Even if you lend me a hundred guts, I won't dare!"

Li Zhiyun sighed: "Sun Langzhong, seeing that tomorrow is half July, we are running out of time. Your Majesty only gives us half a month to solve the case. If the case cannot be solved, everyone will suffer. You should stop making fearless resistance." gone."

"How can I admit what I didn't do!" Sun Langzhong retorted desperately.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyun rubbed his eyes, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Li Chen gently put down his pen, looking a little gloomy.After the investigation, the fart can't be found out. Once the time limit is up, the case can't be solved. The warrior Xun and the king of Chu will suffer, and he, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, will definitely suffer twists and turns.

The Ghost Festival is a folk festival for worshiping ancestors. The rulers of the Sui and Tang dynasties believed in Buddhism and Taoism.Although this day is not designated as an official holiday, folks are allowed to worship their ancestors by themselves.

Don't look at Lao Li's plan to recognize Li Er as his ancestor and admire Taoism, but in fact he also believes in Buddhism in his heart.

Prince Li Jiancheng, whose name is Bishamon.This word was taken by Lao Li, but what is Bishamon?

Bishamon is one of the four heavenly kings in Buddhist scriptures, also known as Duowen Heavenly King or Tota Heavenly King, and belongs to the guardian gods in Buddhism.

Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, this poem is the best expression of the prosperity of Buddhism in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.It's just that during the reign of Yu Wenyong, a fierce man in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Buddha was destroyed once, which dealt a major blow to Buddhism.

It was not until the Sui Dynasty dominated the Central Plains that Buddhism began to slowly recover.

On the day of July and a half, the common people worship their ancestors spontaneously, some go to temples to offer incense, some go to ancestral halls, each has its own place.

Outside Chang'an City, there is a Pujiu Temple, which belongs to private worship temples, and the pilgrims who worship the temple are named Dugu.

In the main hall, Wei Gui and his daughter were paying homage to their father Wei Yuancheng and mother Dugu.

Beside her, Dugu Xiude and his wife also worshiped.

That's right, Wei Gui's mother is Dugu Xiude's aunt.The late Wei Yuancheng was the uncle of Dugu Xiude and the son-in-law of the Dugu family.

In fact, this is quite normal. Wei Xiaokuan, who was born in Jingzhao Webster, is one of the twelve generals and a member of Guanlong.To a certain extent, Jingzhao Webster can also be regarded as the Guanlong family.

After the worship, they went out, boarded the carriage, and prepared to return to Chang'an.

Seeing the exquisite doll in Xiao Shunniang's hand, Dugu Xiude felt quite novel, and asked with a smile: "Shunniang, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Is that what cousin is talking about?" Xiao Shunniang pointed at the doll.

Dugu Xiude nodded.

"It's Thunder Mouse."

Actually, that's not Thunder Mouse, that's Pikachu.It's just that no one in this world knows what Pikachu is, so Li Zhiyun can only change its name.

"Thunder Mouse?" Dugu Xiude asked her puzzledly, "Why is it called Thunder Mouse?"

"Oh, my cousin is so stupid, do you think its tail looks like thunder?"

Xiao Shunniang held up Pikachu and pointed at its lightning-shaped tail.

Dugu Xiude took a look, nodded and said, "It's really quite similar."

Dugu Xiude's wife thought the doll was very interesting, so she asked Wei Gui, "Miss, where did you buy this doll?"

Wei Gui explained: "I didn't buy it. On Qixi Festival, Princess Chu sewed this thing by herself and asked someone to give it to Shunniang."

In fact, she knew that this item was not given by Princess Chu at all, because when his cousin Wei Siqi handed it to her, he told her that it was a gift from King Chu and Princess Chu to the two pairs of small shoes.

Moreover, Princess Chu once again invited her to visit the mansion.Of course, she also knew that the king of Chu was probably behind this.

She really didn't know whether to go or not.

"Princess Chu?" Dugu Xiude asked, "Gianniang, do you have a good relationship with Princess Chu?"

Wei Gui shook his head, "It's not very good, I just heard that Princess Chu recently gave birth to a daughter, and she hopes to talk to me about her experience in taking care of my daughter."

Dugu Xiude nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the voice of guards sounded outside.

"Lang Jun, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Dugu Xiude asked.

"Forbidden objects were found at the gate of the city, and martial law is underway."

Forbidden?

Dugu Xiude said: "You stay here, I'll go out and have a look."

"Okay." Dugu Xiude's wife nodded.

Dugu Xiude got off the carriage, looked up, and saw the Zuo Xiaowei soldiers surrounded by the gate of Chang'an City.
