Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1903

The late autumn in Chang'an is very clear, cold and windy.

It was rare for Qin Tian to go to court.

Of course, it can’t be said that it’s rare. There were big courts and small courts in the Tang Dynasty. In the case of the big court, basically all the fifth-rank officials in Beijing came to the court. In the case of the small court, there were not so many. pay attention to.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Qin Tian came to the big dynasty, but not to the small dynasty.

Today happened to be the big dynasty.

During the big dynasty, there are more officials in the court, so it seems very crowded.

Qin Tian was able to occupy the forefront, but now he has retreated to the second line.

However, Qin Tian was not very particular about these positions.

After the morning court started, the ministers discussed things one after another, as if there were endless things to talk about, and the general court would not end until noon.

Qin Tian didn't have anything to play, so he just stood in the hall and listened.

But at this moment, Gao Shilian suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach you."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's officials subconsciously looked towards Qin Tian, ​​because according to their past experience, as long as Gao Shilian impeached, most of them would impeach Qin Tian.

They were very curious, why did Qin Tian offend Gao Shilian again?

However, even so, everyone didn't feel that there was anything to be nervous about, because Gao Shilian had never succeeded in impeaching Qin Tian, ​​and it was obviously unlikely to succeed this time.

Everyone just looked at this matter as something very interesting, as if it was really abnormal for Gao Shilian to impeach Qin Tian every now and then.

Li Shimin didn't take this seriously either, he just asked casually: "Why does Gao Aiqing want to impeach Qin Tian?"

Gao Shilian said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Qin Tian for doing whatever he wants, regardless of the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

"Oh, what's going on here, what did Qin Aiqing do to disregard my laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Returning to the Holy Spirit, it is like this. I have a case in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs that requires the cooperation of the Jingzhao Mansion. The officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs went to the Jingzhao Mansion to execute it. Qin Tian not only refused to cooperate, but also beat the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. All the officials were beaten to the point of bedridden. Behavior like Qin Tian simply did not pay attention to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. It stands to reason that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has a case that requires the cooperation of the Jingzhao Mansion, and the Jingzhao Mansion must cooperate. If you don’t cooperate, you can’t rely on your own identity to beat up the officials of our punishment department, right? So, please punish Qin Tian severely, Your Majesty.”

After Gao Shilian said this, everyone was taken aback. What happened to Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment?
If this is the case, it is not a trivial matter, otherwise it would be a bit unreasonable for Qin Tian to act recklessly, and it is not very good for their atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin also frowned slightly, he could tolerate many things about Qin Tian, ​​but there were also many things he couldn't tolerate.

"Qin Aiqing, what Gao Aiqing said is the truth. Did you not cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment, did you attack the officials of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Everyone turned their attention to Qin Tian again, and Qin Tian stood up and said, "Returning to the Holy Master, I did not refuse to cooperate with the Ministry of Criminal Justice in handling the case, and the things involved in it cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, but The minister still wants to say."

Everyone curled their lips, Qin Tian said all this, isn't it all nonsense.

"Tell me, what's going on here?" Li Shimin asked, and Qin Tianshun said: "The Huisheng said, the thing is like this, I encountered a case in Jingzhao Mansion, and an old woman came to report the case. Said that she was the mother of Lu Chen, an official from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Lu Chen went to Beijing for the exam three years ago, but never came home. This old woman missed her son, so she came to the capital to find relatives, but after she found the Lu residence, she was kicked out by Lu Chen Not only that, after nightfall, Lu Chen also sent someone to assassinate the old woman. Fortunately, a beggar rescued her, and the next day, the Criminal Department came to Jingzhao Mansion to ask someone, saying that the old woman stole The things belonging to the Lu Mansion were to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. The old woman had already beat the drums in the Jingzhao Mansion to express her grievances. As the governor of the Jingzhao Mansion, I naturally had to investigate clearly. The officials actually spoke nonsense in the Jingzhao Mansion, and even despised the Jingzhao Mansion. As the governor, the minister naturally wanted to maintain the majesty of the Jingzhao Mansion. Otherwise, how would he deal with the affairs of Jingji in the future, so he beat the official. The minister has already investigated some situations, and the hidden secrets behind this case are simply astonishing."

When he said this, Qin Tian stopped, and when he stopped like this, everyone's expressions had changed. If they thought Qin Tian's behavior was very unacceptable before, now, they think Qin Tian Do everything as it should.

However, what they were more curious about was how shocking this case was, why a son, as a son, would send someone to assassinate his mother, and, among them, who was telling the truth?

Li Shimin was also a little curious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Qin Aiqing, go on, what kind of case is this?"

Gao Shilian's face was ugly, but he was more confused. Wasn't this the matter of Qin Tian beating the officials of the criminal department? Why did he get involved in a case all of a sudden, but why didn't that Lu Chen tell himself about this case?

Gao Shilian is a smart man. He faintly felt that he might be used as a weapon by that Lu Chen, which made him a little angry. Then what kind of person is Lu Chen, dare to use him?
Qin Tiandao: "The old lady told us about the portrait of her son Lu Chen. After we saw it, she was not the same person as the current Lu Chen. Moreover, the old lady also saw that Lu Chen in the dark. Chen, this Lu Chen from the Criminal Department is indeed not her son, but even if he is not a son, this Lu Chen from the Criminal Department will not kill people, unless he is disturbed and wants to kill people to silence him, but what is it? The minister sent someone After investigating the situation of the imperial examination three years ago, it turned out that there was a person who did not come to Chang'an City for reference in the imperial examination three years ago. This person was called Zhang Liang. The fire burned down, everyone in the village died, and that Zhang Liang disappeared even more, there is probably some connection among them, right?"

Qin Tian didn't directly state the results of his investigation, but eloquently said this, but after he finished these words, the officials in the court and Li Shimin almost all thought of something, that is , this Lu Chen is very likely to be Zhang Liang who disappeared back then, but why did he pretend to be Lu Chen's name to take the imperial examination?
Everyone can't figure this out.
