Great Tang princess

Most cases in Dali Temple in this era will be tried in a public trial mode, especially this kind of folk cases, where the common people are allowed to observe.

And the common people are often willing to watch the excitement. Sometimes, watching other people go to court is one of the few pleasures.

Although there are various activities such as football games now, but since there are exciting things to watch, it is better not to miss them as much as possible.

So when Li Yuechen led people to Dali Temple, many people followed along the way, and soon formed a huge team.

Li Yuechen also smiled at Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, you go into the palace and tell Auntie, I will deal with this matter."

"This case is so simple, why do you need your Highness to handle it personally?" Shangguan Wan'er was a little confused.

In the eyes of people in this era, since the woman has messed with her husband's blood, she deserves to be killed, which belongs to the common sense of this era.

But things are not that simple at all, let's not talk about whether derailment should be sentenced or not.

It is outrageous to judge whether a child is biological just by looking at whether the blood can blend.

"The matter here is somewhat complicated, and I will go to the palace to explain it later." Li Yuechen waved his hand, and then said to Princess Yiyang, "Sister, go with me, remember to report this matter to the newspaper afterward..."

"Okay!" Princess Yiyang immediately agreed.

……

The two came to Dali Temple with the relevant personnel of the case, because someone had come to notify in advance, so they were also prepared early.

Seeing the princess coming, he hurried out to greet her.

The current Minister of Dali Temple, Li Qiao, brought his subordinates over quickly to salute: "I have seen the two princesses!"

"Li Qing is free!" Li Yuechen waved his hand slightly, "Today I just came over to take a look, just follow the normal procedure!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this sentence, although Li Qiao agreed on the surface, but felt a little helpless in his heart.

You are a dignified princess, Minister of the Ministry of War, because of such a small case, you came here specially, and then said you just wanted to see it?
Who dares to believe it!

But no matter what, the words have already been put here, and he didn't want to ask too many questions, so he had to follow the normal process to announce his promotion.

In fact, it stands to reason that the promotion process in this era is different from that in costume TV dramas.

Because these local officials not only have to manage judicial work, but also be responsible for agriculture, production and other matters.

This is also the reason why Li Yuechen said that he wanted to change the provincial system. It was because the local officials covered everything, which was equivalent to the local emperor. He had too much power and was also too tired.

Generally speaking, every three, six or nine days is the time to ascend to the hall.

But since the princess is here today, I'll be promoted directly. After all, I can't let the princess come back in a few days.

The opening process is similar to that in the TV series, two rows of yamen servants knocked on the killing stick and shouted mighty.

The main purpose of this is to show that power cannot be subdued. First, it is to remind officials to deal with it fairly, and second, it is to let the people in the hall know that when you come here, you should be obedient and don't make trouble.

After all, people in this era don't have any quality education, and they may still be bluffing in the classroom, so it also has the meaning of deterrence.

After all, a dozen big men with sticks are surrounding you, knocking sticks and shouting, are you afraid?
Because Li Qiao was still the one who tried the case, Li Yuechen and Princess Yiyang sat by and listened.

After everyone arrived, Li Qiao picked up the gavel in his hand and slapped it on the table, and the scene fell silent instantly.

The common people standing at the gate and watching were also quietly waiting for the lawsuit to start.

In fact, many officials in the imperial court have such things as gavels, but they have different names.

The one held by the emperor is called "Zhenshanhe", the one held by the empress is called "Fengxia", the one held by the prime minister is called "Zuo Chaogang", and the one held by a military officer of Li Yuechen's level is called "Jinghudan". The gavel in the hands of such officials is added.

It's just that since Li Yuechen reformed the army, there is no such thing in the current army.

During the meeting, just clap your hands and they will be quiet, no need.

In fact, the emperor seldom used this kind of thing. The one that is still in use now should be the cabinet. Di Renjie has this thing in his hand, which is really useful when civil servants are in meetings.

"I beg Shangguan to make the decision for the little old man. It's definitely not the little old man who committed murder in the street. It's really..." The middle-aged man began to introduce the cause and effect of the incident.

After Li Qiao heard this, he turned his head and asked the woman next to him: "Mr. Yang Liu, can you admit that you have betrayed your husband's family?"

"Shangguan Mingjian, a civilian girl has never done such a thing!" The woman also replied with an aggrieved face.

While Li Yuechen was listening, he was also observing the woman.

Although there is no evidence, I dare not make a conclusion, but at least based on so many years of experience, it is not easy for this woman to deceive her.

But she didn't plan to say anything about this matter, after all, she couldn't provide evidence that she didn't cheat.

I'm here today, not to prove this, but the superstition of such things as bloodshed.

At this time Li Qiao also turned his head to look at her, as if asking if she had anything to say.

Li Yuechen lowered his head and said to Yiluoru who was beside him, "Go get a bowl of warm water."

Xiao Ru agreed and turned to leave.

Then she asked Li Qiao: "I wonder if I can say a few words?"

"Your Highness, please!"

She nodded and asked the middle-aged man in the hall: "Old man Liu, why do you conclude that this child is not your own just because the blood doesn't mix?"

"This..." Old man Liu was taken aback, "This has been like this since ancient times..."

"Since that's the case, why don't you come and try it in class!"

Li Yuechen turned his head, waved to Yiluoru who just came over, and asked her to put the bowl of water on the table in front of Li Qiao.

Old man Liu nodded: "Of course it doesn't matter!"

So he immediately got up and came to the table, squeezed the wound on his arm that had just stopped bleeding, and squeezed out two drops of blood into the bowl.

Just as he was about to raise his head and say that his son hadn't come yet, Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Xiao Ru, come here!"

Although Yi Luoru said that she was a little surprised, after so many years of training in the military camp, obeying orders has long been an instinct.

Immediately, he drew the ax from his thigh, cut his finger, and squeezed out two drops of blood into the bowl.

The others were a little dazed, not knowing what the princess meant.

Even the old man Liu raised his head in a daze, unable to figure out what he was doing, let alone the people watching the excitement outside the door.

Everyone was whispering, wondering what it meant.

However, at the next moment, Li Qiao suddenly opened his eyes wide, stood up suddenly in disbelief, and looked down at the blood in the bowl.

The old man Liu who was standing next to him also looked terrified, looking at the blood that had slowly melted in the bowl in disbelief.

Li Yuechen chuckled: "Yo, I really didn't expect that you have a blood relationship with the guard of this Palace?"

"Your Highness, this is impossible!"

Yiluoru immediately replied: "This subordinate grew up outside the customs since childhood, and came to God's Capital after nine years old. I never knew this person!"

Old man Liu also looked surprised: "It's absolutely impossible! The guard of Your Highness is obviously from Xianbei, and Xiao Lao is from Han. How could there be any blood relationship?"

In fact, there is still a lot of difference between the appearance of pure Xianbei people and Han people.

Xianbei people have a typical high nose bridge, relatively high brow bone, and fair skin, which is quite different from the appearance of Han people.

"Didn't you say that if the blood is fused, there is a blood relationship?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile, "Why don't you come to try it too? What if you are still a relative of the emperor?"

"No!"

Li Qiao hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness is a body of a thousand pieces of gold, how can you do this?"

While speaking, there was even a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

He shouted helplessly in his heart that the princess really did not play the cards according to common sense, how could she come up with such an idea?
If the blood of the two parties is really fused, then things will be troublesome!

Of course Li Yuechen knew this truth, that is to say.

Old man Liu slumped on the ground all of a sudden, in a daze, unable to figure out the reason for this.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "Does Li Qing know the reason for this?"

"Return to Your Highness, this subordinate doesn't know!" Li Qiao replied respectfully.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether the child is biological or not, and whether the child is compatible with the blood!"

As soon as this sentence came out, not only Li Qiao was stunned, but also the surrounding audience were stunned, and even the common people who were listening at the door were also stunned.

Although she had known for a long time that the princess was knowledgeable, she never expected to say such a thing.

And this is not over yet, Li Yuechen continued: "In this world, ninety-nine out of ten people have only four blood types. And among these four blood types, one of them can be compatible with the other three..."

"Your Highness, the rest..."

"The remaining ones belong to extremely special blood types, which are almost hard to come across. Therefore, if blood is used to identify relatives, I am afraid that everyone in the world is related by blood."

At this time Li Qiao said suddenly: "Your Highness, according to the records in ancient books, there is still a way to recognize relatives..."

"It's even more unreliable!" Li Yuechen shook his head slightly, "After a person dies, the flesh and blood on the bones disappear, not to mention people, even the blood of livestock can seep in. But if the flesh and blood are still there, even the blood of close relatives can't seep in. "

At this time, the old man Liu who was sitting on the ground suddenly raised his head: "If you dare to ask, there is a way to prove..."

Li Yuechen shook his head regretfully: "Currently... no. But the method of recognizing relatives with a drop of blood is really unreliable. If you don't believe it, go back and try with your other immediate relatives. The blood may not be able to blend."

……

The end of this case was a bit anticlimactic. After all, there was no way to prove that the woman had cheated, so it just ended like this.

But the process of this lawsuit has already begun to spread through the streets and alleys through word of mouth among the common people.

After the case was settled and Li Yuechen came to the palace, Wu Zetian had already received the news from the secret guard, so it was not unpleasant.

Just after entering Jixian Temple, Wu Zetian asked the question: "What you said in Dali Temple is the truth?"

"Which question does Aunt ask?" Li Yuechen sat beside him and asked.

"Don't play dumb! Are there really only four blood types in this world?" Wu Zetian asked.

Li Yuechen nodded: "More than [-]% of them belong to these four categories. There are also some special ones, but they are extremely rare."

Li Xian on the side also raised a question: "The blood type of the child will also be different from that of the parents?"

"En." Li Yuechen nodded, "According to ancient books, brother and I should be able to blend with Grandpa's blood, right? In fact, this is not certain, and it is possible to blend with Grandpa's blood. Maybe the two sides don't get along..."

"Then how do we prove that it is our own?" Li Xian asked.

"It can't be proved!" Li Yuechen picked up the teacup, "At least in this era, it can't be proved."

Now that there is no DNA testing technology, there is no way to prove it.

"The only thing that can be proved now is that we are all born to Auntie, and Auntie can prove this!" Li Yuechen said with a smile.

This little flattery made Wu Zetian smile a little, but then asked: "Can the medical school step up research in this area?"

"Of course there is no problem, at least the method of dripping blood is also useful." Li Yuechen replied, "If you encounter an injured patient who is bleeding too much, if the blood of the two can blend, at least it means that blood transfusion is possible."

It's just that this method is not as simple as it is said now, especially type O blood, which can blend with other blood, but it is impossible to accept blood transfusions from other blood types, which still requires a lot of experiments.

But now there is the technology of underground ice cellars, so it is possible to build a blood bank, at least it can make medical technology develop a lot.

With the development of a large number of medical technologies in the future, Chinese medicine will definitely become the world's dominant existence.

In fact, in the circle of athletes, Chinese medicine has always been very popular, because there is almost nothing to say about bruises.

It's just that in Li Yuechen's opinion, Chinese medicine is more or less metaphysical.

A colleague once went to see a doctor of Chinese medicine, and the doctor knew that he had hemorrhoids just by looking at his tongue... This seemed a bit unreal to Li Yuechen.

But no matter what, Li Yuechen still hopes that Chinese medicine can develop well. Perhaps in this time and space, if the inheritance will not be broken, Chinese medicine should be able to develop better.

At this time, Princess Yiyang said: "Chen'er intends to publish this matter in the newspaper and then announce it to the world?"

"Well, explain the relationship carefully, and stop fighting because of this kind of thing." Li Yuechen answered with a teacup.

Li Xian asked: "But if this is the case, what if there are many betrayals against the husband's family in the future?"

"With the development of technology, the paternity test will be successful sooner or later, brother, don't worry..." Li Yuechen smiled, "Besides, the imperial court should also educate the world and improve the moral level of our people. Multi-faceted development is the way to go." the best."

Li Xian curled his lips: "I really wonder what our country will look like in a few decades."

I'm more looking forward to what it will look like in a few hundred years... Li Yuechen said to himself.

In any case, the development of a country must blossom in many ways, not only in the military, but also in culture, science and technology.

Li Yuechen has also made up his mind. In the future, he will make his own country's martial virtues abundant, but for other countries, he will choose as much cultural influence as possible. The plan will pass...

It's not completely good yet, it's still updated today
