Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 67
Li Shimin's voice was very deep, but it was a little casual. Qin Hao didn't dare to be negligent when he heard the words, and quickly stood up, bent over and walked a few steps to the front, but he didn't dare to raise his head.

"Well...you are more handsome than I imagined, but a little darker."

Qin Hao didn't know what to say, so he heard, "Why don't you look up, don't you wonder what Li Shimin looks like?"

Li Er's approachable tone relieved Qin Hao's considerable nervousness, he relaxed a little, raised his head, and found that Li Shimin was dressed in casual clothes and did not wear a hat, looking at him with some amusement.

"How is it? Is it as you said in your book, majestic, imposing, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of heaven and man? Are you disappointed by my appearance?"

Qin Hao said with a sneer: "Hey, this... The grassroots are also talking nonsense for the purpose of controlling public opinion. It is inevitable that they are disrespectful to the saints. Accept the punishment, accept the punishment."

Li Er laughed and said: "You still know that this is nonsense, offending me and the Supreme Emperor at will, do you know what kind of crime it is? But you are also out of a public heart, so I won't care about you. To study such an astonishing work as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Major will devote his mind to such small paths, you know?"

Qin Hao couldn't stop slandering, this Li Shimin was obviously being good at taking advantage of it, but he couldn't beat him, so he had to nod repeatedly, saying that he was right.

Li Shimin also mostly made jokes, the purpose was to ease the atmosphere and create an environment for chatting. Seeing that Qin Hao was not so nervous, he ordered the eunuch to move a small wooden pier over and said, "Sit down, I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, I thought it would be the last I have to wait until this catastrophe is over soon, but I don't want to meet in advance because of such bullshit."

In the Tang Dynasty, it was more common to hold small meetings and play things while sitting, unlike in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when you couldn't stand upright at seventy or eighty, you were given a small maza, and you had to be very moved.

Qin Hao sat down on his buttocks carefully, and found that the wooden pier was quite warm. He looked down and saw that it was still hollow, with a little charcoal inside. Qin Hao naturally thanked the Lord for his kindness.

Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Did you really kill that trafficker's family of eight? I see that you are just a child, and you don't look like you have practiced martial arts. How did you do it?"

Naturally, Qin Hao wouldn't be stupid and say that I didn't kill him, so he immediately explained the process in detail, only occasionally interspersed with how these slaves have no human rights, how pitiful, then the sixth master How cruel and inhumane, etc., can be regarded as playing the emotional card to gain sympathy.

Li Shimin listened quietly, quite earnestly, before sighing for a long time and said: "I originally planned to implement the law after the world is peaceful, and not allow my beloved to be slaves, but because there have been too many things since Yuji, It was my fault for the delay."

Qin Hao naturally flattered him again.

Li Shimin seems to have a strong immunity to flattery naturally, or he is simply a masochist. He naturally likes the kind of Wei Zheng who doesn't talk about anything, and has no interest in Qin Hao's flattery. Instead, he discussed with more interest: "This charcoal fire can really kill people invisible through special means? According to you, even if you inhale just a little bit, you will feel dizzy and have weakness in your limbs. I don't know if this kind of fetish can be used on the battlefield. ?”

It's really worthy of being the emperor on horseback.

Qin Hao naturally explained again, "If it is handed over to the craftsmen to develop, it may be possible to research the processed charcoal specially for burning carbon monoxide, but this thing may be fine for the occasional assassination of Baiqi. It's useless, this thing can only be used in an airless room, and it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, there is no cure."

Li Shimin nodded clearly, and secretly wrote down the matter.

Seeing that Li Er hadn't talked about a serious matter for a long time, Qin Hao plucked up his courage and asked, "This... sage, look at my case... how will I judge it?"

Li Shimin said: "The scapegoat has been found. There is a rogue named Sun San who went crazy and killed for some reason. Now he has pleaded guilty, which is enough to prove your innocence. Wei Ting made a false accusation against you, and he should be punished." The punishment, Wei Ting has no way to teach his son, and he will travel thousands of miles."

Li Shimin even used the scapegoat trick, which shows that the court is determined to convict unjust, false and wrongly convicted cases. Naturally, he would not foolishly ask about Sun San's situation, and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

This is a sage's words of wisdom, the case that the Third Division will judge, even if the whole world knows that the judgment is unfair, but no one can make a fuss about it. From then on, Qin Hao's identity as a fugitive slave no longer exists.

Li Shimin said: "This case is just a small matter. If it is not a big one, it can be suppressed easily. But since you are here now, please discuss with me about the victims of the disaster. When it comes to Luoyang No one is more familiar with the understanding of the disaster victims than you, and since you can tell such a masterpiece of strategy as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you should be a knowledgeable person."

Qin Hao knew that this was a more formal question from the monarch and his ministers, and that he was thinking about the exam himself, so he became a little more cautious at the moment, and after a while he said:

"Back to the sage, the court raised the disaster relief in a timely manner, and the people are quite satisfied. I don't know about other places, but before Luoyang went to the capital, no one died of starvation. They all praised the sage's benevolence."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Hehe, you can still hear the voices of the common people, which can be regarded as delaying your blessing of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Otherwise, your book would have been banned long ago. If it was a peaceful time, I'm afraid I should kill you." s head."

Qin Hao smiled and said nothing.

Li Shimin said again: "I can rest assured that Xuan Cheng is in Luoyang. Food should be enough. From your point of view, does the imperial court have any plans?"

Qin Hao quickly said: "There is no legacy policy, the court has done a very good job, how dare the grassroots dictate such a major matter."

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Hmph, as expected in Xuan Cheng's letter, although you have a strategy, you are a very cunning guy. Since you can't say anything, it's useless. Your case , I think it’s better to re-examine.”

Qin Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this isn't a joke, we didn't want to look low-key and humble, if I came up to give you a lesson, it would make me look young and frivolous.

Since this Li Er likes to be simple and rough, and likes to be slapped in the face, Qin Hao simply didn't hide it, and asked with fists in his hands: "I don't know what the saint's goal for disaster relief is, is he just hoping that there will be no trouble, or try to wipe it away as much as possible?" How about calming natural disasters, or even turning bad things into good things?"

Li Shimin wondered: "Can things be changed for the better? If you have any ideas, speak up quickly, don't hesitate like a bitch."

Qin Haodao: "The grassroots think that if you only ask the people not to starve to death and not to riot, the court has already done a very good job, and there are even very few dynasties who have surpassed this dynasty. They don't need to do anything, and the people will naturally go home one after another in the spring of next year. But if you want to smooth out the scourge or even turn the bad into a good thing... the grassroots think that it is still far away."

Li Shimin asked with bright eyes: "I don't know what you think is wrong?"

Qin Hao spoke solemnly, and said in a cadenced tone: "Craftsmen, there are three strategies to quell disasters, and they are dedicated to the saints."
