Datang Nongwang

Chapter 904 The face is not necessary, the Judicial Temple must
A courtier who doesn't listen to the emperor's words is basically hopeless if he wants to climb up in the future.

but.

For people like Qian Le.

The position of Shaoqing is already an official position that he never dreamed of.

What's more, being the Shaoqing of the Judiciary Temple is one level higher than the official position of the Shaoqing of the Sinong Temple, which is something that has never been thought of.

Although the ancestors of the Qian family were extremely glorious.

But right now, it’s really nothing.

Qian Le's ancestor was the Marquis of Fuchun in the Han Dynasty. He once served as the prefect of Guangling and the general of the Eastern Expedition.

Although the ancestors are glorious, it is not the Han Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how glorious the ancestors of the Qian family were, it was only the past.What's more, the glory of the ancestors has not blessed the descendants, so all of that is in vain.

Although Qian Le had thought about it in his heart.

Want to restore the glory of his Qian family.

And he has done it now.

The Shaoqing of Judicial Temple under the fourth rank is enough to honor the lintel.

But he was unwilling to be the assistant official of a certain temple, and he always wanted to climb to the top, even if he was a minister of the temple, it was enough.

and so.

When he learned that Li Shimin had chosen him as Shaoqing of Judicial Temple, he was overjoyed.

He even deliberately ran back to his hometown, boasting to everyone in the Qian family, saying that when he arrived in the capital, after taking office, he would definitely bring most of the Qian family to the capital to become officials.

What's more, Qian Le took the Qian family up and down, ran to his ancestor's grave, and held a grand revival of the Qian family's oath meeting.

He also said some ideas in his heart, wanting to restore the Qian family to the glory of Han Dynasty.

Come on.

He has done more than half of it.

Among the officials and officials in the Judiciary Temple, many of them were surnamed Qian.

As for wanting to climb to the position of minister above the third rank, it is a pity that the luck is not good. Li Chongyuan appeared and cut off the rope of Qian Le's fantasy with one knife.

to this end.

Qian Le hated Li Chongyuan to the core.

even.

Just yesterday.

Li Chongyuan even ordered You Shaoqing, who had been overwhelmed by him, to give him a job that only a servant would do.

more.

Li Chongyuan even sent a message, saying that as long as Qian Le wants to stay in Judicial Temple, he has to listen to him like a dog, otherwise, Qian Le will not have a good life.

Finally, he enjoyed the power of being a master, and enjoyed the taste of being the top leader of a temple.

Suddenly a person broke in and lost everything he had enjoyed.

Qian Le hates it.

He hated Li Chongyuan, but he was also unhappy with Li Shimin's arrangement.

But as a courtier, he has no choice.

But when he returned to the mansion last night, thinking of the cold eyes he received, the work he had done, and his Qian family members, Qian Le was even more unwilling.

This is not.

The court discussion had just begun, and even before state affairs could be discussed, Qian Le took the lead in breaking the original unspoken rules of the court, disregarding what Li Shimin said yesterday, and directly sued Li Chongyuan.

But fortunately, all the court officials agreed, so that he didn't have to fight alone, which made him feel a little more at ease.

In fact, Qian Le had already foreseen in his heart that it would be impossible for him to take up the post of Zuo Shaoqing in Judicial Temple.

But there is a saying, he is unwilling to reconcile, and he has a savage hatred for Li Chongyuan in his heart, so he no longer thinks about the consequences.

Qian Le even had a plan in mind.

After today, he will go to a certain prefecture to serve as a part-timer, or to a certain county to serve as the county magistrate.

but.

Qian Le forgot.

Li Shimin is a person who bears grudges, and he is also a person who has to be obedient in his eyes.

Li Shimin used to think that he knew Qian Le for a young young lady, but now, Li Shimin wished he could tear Qian Le to pieces on the spot.

Li Shimin on the throne looked around at the officials above the court.

Quite a few people knelt down and begged him to withdraw from the Judicial Temple.

Of course, some people are still standing there, neither participating nor making a sound.

'Damn, are these people trying to force the palace! ' Li Shimin was very angry in his heart, but his face did not show how angry he was, it was just very heavy.

not far away.

Li Chongji lowered his head, feeling anxious.

So many court officials attacked his fourth brother, and even kneeled down to beg him, this is unique.

Li Chongji felt nervous in his heart.

It was not easy for his fourth brother to sit in such a high position, of course Li Chongji didn't want his fourth brother's office to be withdrawn.

Even though his fourth younger brother still has the title of Minister of Agriculture, but the position of Minister of Justice is of the same rank as that of Zai Zai.

Although he did not participate in the discussion of state affairs, Li Chongji was certain that as long as his fourth brother was an official for another ten or twenty years and participated in the discussion of state affairs, it would only be a matter of time.

Li Chongji, who was anxious in his heart, very much hoped that his fourth younger brother would be at the court.

However, Li Chongji's hope can only be empty.

Helpless, he could only slightly raise his head, and look at Zhong Gui, You Shaoqing of Judicial Temple, who was standing not far away like him.

Lee Hyo-gong?
Li Xiaogong has been ill recently and did not participate in the court meeting.

Li Chong was so silent that he wished that his uncle was there.

As long as his uncle is on the scene again, he believes that his uncle will definitely stand up and speak for his fourth brother. Even if it doesn't have much effect, at least it can prove that there are people in the court who are with his fourth brother of.

far away.

Li Zhao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, also lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Shimin.

Li Chongji hoped that his cousin could stand up and say something for his fourth brother.

And Li Zhao at this time.

It seemed that there was some movement, which made Li Chongji feel a little moved after seeing it.

Li Zhao hesitated again and again, but finally mustered up the courage to stand up, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Li Shimin on the throne.

Seeing many courtiers knelt down to ask for the removal of the Judicial Temple, they felt angry, and when they thought about why no one stood up to speak for Li Chongyuan at this time, they suddenly saw Li Zhao standing up, and felt very relieved.

"Say." Li Shimin's face was still heavy.

Li Zhao made a salute and said, "Your Majesty, I am now Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Since I took office, I thought that I have been familiar with my laws of the Tang Dynasty. However, the more I am familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the more I feel that there is no need to deal with official affairs. There is no real basis for it.”

"What do you mean!?" Li Shimin still asked with a sullen face.

As soon as Li Zhao stood up, all the officials who knelt down raised their heads and looked at Li Zhao and Li Shimin.

Those who can stand up and speak for Li Chongyuan at this time are not brothers Tie, but true friends.

True friend, Li Chongyuan is above this court, probably really can't find one.

Brother Tie, my eldest brother is one, and Li Zhao is also one.

There is a saying.

At such a moment, who would stand up and speak for Li Chongyuan regardless of the future?Unless he is a fool.

And a fool like Li Zhao doesn't seem to care about his future at all.

Being born in the imperial family, maybe he really doesn't need to care about his own future. Besides, Li Zhao just wanted to express his thoughts and opinions to Li Shimin and the court officials present.

No matter what happened to Li Zhao, all court officials would not attack him.

Because all court officials knew that hitting Li Chongyuan was because Li Chongyuan was too evasive, and it could even be said that they violated their interests.

As for Li Zhao, they always believed that Li Shimin had a lot of trust. Moreover, they knew that if another clan was attacked, the emperor Li Shimin would probably attack the court officials like them.

The world of the Li family cannot be manipulated by others. This is Li Shimin's bottom line.

Li Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Dali Temple is where the offenders are judged. For example, if an official commits the crime of oppressing the people, he is thrown into Dali Temple. According to the crimes committed, at most he will only be fined and demoted. But if the crime of oppressing the people is placed on the people who have no official status, it becomes a fine and a distribution to serve in corvee, and finally dies on the road of corvee. Since Qin Xiaogong, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. But today I am a big This is not the case in the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, although I am the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, when I face such an offender, I feel uneasy for a long time. Your Majesty, I think that the laws of the Tang Dynasty really should It’s time to take care of yourself.”

Li Zhao didn't say anything about Judicial Temple, but everything he said showed that he supported the establishment of Judicial Temple, and even more so, the fairness of the judiciary.

After hearing this, Li Shimin was even more relieved.

As long as there is one person who stands up to speak for Li Chongyuan, then he can completely ignore those court officials who kneel down.

And right now.

Chu Suiliang, who is the Minister of Dali Temple and the servant of Huangmen, also stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, my minister seconded the proposal. What Li Shaoqing said was exactly what I thought. Whenever it came to the trial, the minister asked the scribes and others to read the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but there was no basis to convict them. But when they went to the prefectures and counties In other places, like the crimes committed by the common people, officials in various prefectures and counties can convict them of serious crimes. Therefore, I also believe that it is time for our laws in the Tang Dynasty to be rectified." Chu Suiliang said after saluting.

Chu Suiliang, who was the servant of the Huangmen, stepped forward.

A smile immediately appeared on Li Shimin's face.

And those court officials and ministers kneeling down, their faces are really colorful at this moment, yellow and blue, blue and white.

The Huangmen servant Chu Suiliang's ability to say such a thing is enough to show that this is Li Shimin's original intention.

even.

They even thought in their hearts that what Chu Suiliang said must be what Li Shimin usually said, otherwise, Chu Suiliang would not stand up and say these words.

after all.

They knew that Chu Suiliang seldom stood up to speak for others, and he would not stand up for anyone under such a big controversy.

Above the court hall, it had to be extremely quiet from now on.

This silence lasted for a long time.

Maybe two quarters of an hour, maybe half an hour.

While the extremely quiet and eerie scene continued above the court hall, a servant came trotting in.

Seeing the silence in the court hall, the servant was still beating his heart.

Seeing that the servant broke into the court during the court meeting, Wang Li hurried over with displeasure on his face, and reprimanded him: "Don't you know the rules! Afterwards, go and receive the punishment!"

"Return to the Chief Manager, someone broke into the palace gate!" After hearing Wang Li's words, the servant was a little scared.

Wang Li's eyes were filled with displeasure, "The guards will deal with breaking the palace gate, why do you need to report it!"

"This time, my lord, Feng Gongmen is Li Chongyuan, King of Xisha County." The servant replied cautiously.

When Wang Li heard that it was Li Chongyuan who broke into the palace gate, he immediately became a little puzzled.

According to reason.

Li Chongyuan is the Secretary of the Judiciary Temple, and the Secretary of the Sinong Temple, and even holds the post of Suzhou Biejia, and even has the title of the County King on his head. Why did he want to break into the palace? You can send someone to report , someone led Li Chongyuan into the palace.

Wang Li was puzzled, so he had to report the matter to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin heard that Li Chongyuan's time had come, the gloomy expression on his face suddenly became lighter.

With Li Shimin's instructions, Wang Li went to the palace gate.

When Wang Liyi came to the gate of the palace, the Li Chongyuan he saw was not Li Chongyuan in an official uniform or a knight's uniform, but a stained and foul smelling Li Chongyuan.

even.

Even Li Chongyuan's hair was messed up and messed up.

Seeing Wang Li coming, Li Chongyuan immediately approached.

But as Li Chongyuan approached, Wang Li stepped back immediately, covered his nose and said, "Junwang Li, who is this?"

"Oh, it's a long story, I'll explain this to you later, let me enter the palace quickly." Li Chongyuan was very anxious.

Saying.

It turned out that Li Chongyuan was holding his baby son who had a tacit understanding in Li Zhuang.

But in Chang'an, someone sent him a message, saying that Qian Le, Zuo Shaoqing of the Judiciary Temple, launched an attack on Li Chongyuan, which even reached the level of even Fang Xuanling. When the important officials knelt down and begged, they said that the Judicial Temple would be demolished.

When Li Chongyuan heard the news, he couldn't sit still, so he rode a fast horse and headed straight for Chang'an.

It was also because of the urgency of the matter, and when Li Chongyuan heard the news, his son urinated all over his body and dragged him all over again.

This is not.

He didn't even have time to change his clothes, he just sat on the horse's back, wiped it off with a piece of cloth towel that he always had, and came to the gate of the palace.

With an image like Li Chongyuan's, neither official uniform nor knightly uniform, and his body smelled like baby's excrement and urine, and his hair was messed up because he was riding a horse, how could this palace gatekeeper Let him enter the palace, but Li Chongyuan was impatient, so he had to break through the gate of the palace.

He was led into the palace by Wang Li and arrived at the Tai Chi Hall.

When Li Chongyuan appeared in the court hall, all the court officials looked at Li Chongyuan one after another.

Li Chongyuan quickly came to the front of the center.

Along the way, no matter the court officials kneeling to invite or standing court officials, they all pay attention and salute, and all of them cover their noses and want to back away.

Even Li Shimin cast a strange look at him, with an unpleasant smell coming from his nose, he shouted in a deep voice: "Li Chongyuan, you don't know how to be decent, and you smell like stains all over your body. Don't you know Is this the court hall!"

"Returning to the Holy Majesty, the minister is also impatient. Some people want to mess with my Great Tang Dynasty Gang, so I have time to change my clothes in the future. I heard that someone wants to remove my Great Tang Judicial Temple. I can get rid of Li Chongyuan's face, but my Great Tang can't do without the Judicial Temple If you have offended the Holy Majesty through rituals, please punish the Holy Majesty." Li Chongyuan saluted and replied loudly.
