"No, that's not what I mean.

In the past two days, I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple to carefully investigate the files of recent years, and found that in the past five years, there have been more than 3 cases of people in the Tang Dynasty being improperly punished because of inappropriate laws, involving a population reaching One million people, that is to say, there are more than 6000 similar cases every year on average, and there are as many as [-] cases a day.

Such a huge number is all due to the short-sightedness of the law revised by the minister. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a disaster for the country and the people. "

What? ? ?

Li Er went straight to the case, and he just saw from the cases mentioned in Di Renjie's memorial that these things were not guesswork, they were all based on facts, but he didn't expect that so many people would be involved. How many hidden dangers are still lurking?

"Bastard, what are the officials from the two divisions of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice doing? It's been five years, and no one has discovered the problem?" Li Er said angrily.

"Most of these cases are not important homicide cases, and there is no legal basis for injustice. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs generally only archives records and does not conduct statistical processing. The law is in front, and the people have not made troubles to seek justice. .

But what is the state of mind of the people who are really punished, presumably there is no place to redress their grievances.

Your Majesty, I have made such a big mistake in doing things badly, which has harmed the country and the people. I have no face to stand in the court and do things for the country. Please allow me to resign and retire, so that those who are able can come up to benefit the people. "

Changsun Wuji is worthy of his acting skills, and fell to the ground again with tears in his eyes. Anyone can see the great regret in his heart.

Li Er pulled it up again, and handed over a scroll to wipe his tears with his own hands, and sighed: "Auxiliary machine, you and I are young friends, we have worked together for more than 30 years, you want to leave too?

Keming has retired, Xuan Cheng has retired, now the only ones I can use are you and Xuanling, if you leave again, who will I take with me to fight in the future? "

"Your Majesty, there are many heroes of the younger generation. The newcomers Feng Zhidai, Hong Qianli, Wang Xuance, Tang Shanshi, Li Jingxuan, Pei Xingjian, etc. are all great talents, and this Di Renjie, the old minister thinks, can let him replace the old minister. seat, this person is a talented prime minister."

Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help forgetting his unhappiness, and laughed out loud, "Hehe, you're right, Zhongnan Academy has finally become the cradle of my Great Tang's education, and these disciples have finally become the pillars of my Great Tang. Tang Yingcai continues, I am very pleased.

Sometimes I think about it, I have been in power for 23 years, my hair is almost gray, and it is time to retire to the young people, Chengqian has been the prince for 23 years, the emperor is greedy.

I'm always afraid that these boys won't be able to carry the Tang Dynasty's family business. After all, we can be said to be rich in the world now, and we need to worry about far more things than the previous dynasty.

You said, how about I take this opportunity to pass on the throne to Chengqian?In this way, I can take the queen to find a place to rest, and that kid Jian Zhi is still showing off his leisure all day long. "

This, this news really caught Changsun Wuji by surprise and passed the throne to Prince Chengqian?how so?Hasn't the emperor become more and more alienated from the prince these years?How could he still deliberately pass the throne to Li Chengqian?If you want to say this, wouldn't your investment in Li Zhi be in vain?

The eldest Sun Wuji, who was sweating on his forehead, quickly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, you are serious. You have only been in power for more than [-] years, and you are at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will not be able to do without you. You also said that the family fortune is big. It may be difficult for young people to support themselves.”

Li Er looked at this brother-in-law, smiled in his heart, did not continue the topic, and said instead: "Right, so, I don't mention retirement, and you are not allowed to mention it. The legal matter is not your fault. If you If you made a mistake, then I was also guilty of ignoring it at the beginning.

Auxiliary machine, you are a standard for civil servants in the court, you can't mess up at critical moments.

How about this, since you said that you are duty-bound to do something wrong with the law, well, you are still the one to take the lead in revising the law for the second time in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is for you to take the blame and make meritorious deeds, or to make up for it.

In short, your eldest grandson Wuji is taking on important responsibilities for the second time. This time, you can't let the common people doubt you in the future. "

Changsun Wuji was so moved that he was about to nod his head in agreement, but then he thought of something and said, "No, it's not right. Di Renjie brought it up at this time, and he sees it more clearly than I do."

"Hey, a young man, he is not as mature and prudent as you. I decree that he will be your assistant, and continue to practice with you. You can discuss how to operate it. That's it."

The two monarchs and ministers chatted freely in the political hall for a full hour, and Changsun Wuji withdrew with emotion, His Majesty is really clever!

In fact, this result is probably not the result that this old fox wanted. Li Er in the political hall looked at the back of his brother-in-law leaving, and sighed in his heart, I hope you can understand what happened today, and don't continue to take risks.

He gestured slightly to the servant Lao Gao, and Lao Gao immediately understood that he sent someone to arrange for the East Palace. It is impossible for the emperor not to know about Changsun Wuji's actions towards the prince for ten years.

Chapter 937 The Secret Detective's Embarrassment

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian has been watching the memorial for ten years.

When he had just graduated, the emperor asked him to read the memorials to cultivate his ability, but it would not make him only read the memorials for ten years.

Later, the emperor asked him to study finance with his uncle Li Jiancheng, but Li Chengqian was unwilling, because he felt that his uncle was in charge of the finance of Datang, which was a big mountain, and only the emperor and the king of Jin could stand firmly in the Tang Dynasty.

If he went by himself, wouldn't it mean that he, the prince, intends to replace King Jin's financial power in the future?He also understood in his heart that his father, Li Er, also meant to imply that in the future, he, the prince, might not be the emperor, but instead help his younger brother to stabilize his finances.

However, Li Chengqian boldly declined, willingly nested in the East Palace for ten years, and read the memorials for ten years steadily. Outsiders, the prince is already 30 years old, and he hides in the East Palace all day. This is not enterprising. It is not beneficial to the country, but Li Chengqian ignored it.

"Your Highness, I have received a letter from above asking me to find a way to resign from my current position and leave your side."

The book boy who has been with Li Chengqian for ten years said that he was used by someone to bring the prince down, but now it seems that the relationship between the two has changed.

Li Chengqian stopped the brush that was practicing Yan style calligraphy, raised his head and smiled, and said to Xu Xin, "Do you know that there is a saying: "The bird is dead, the bow is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking?"

"Ah, please help, Your Highness!"

Desperately not stupid, he fell to his knees on the ground.

"Not long after you entered the palace, my junior brother Di Renjie saw through it, and then my master Lan Tianhou sent me a letter, asking me to solve your problem with all my strength.

Remember when you and I got drunk and talked heart-to-heart in the middle of the night?Since you have the courage to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then I will naturally not ignore you.

Back then, I wanted to fulfill my promise and send you to Zhongnan Academy for further study so that you could become a good talent, but you insisted on staying and spying on the enemy for me.

Now that the enemy withdraws you, they will either close the net or replace you. In short, you are useless and you will definitely not survive.

Today I once again fulfilled my promise to help you enter the academy, under the protection of my master Lan Tianhou, the world is so big that no one can touch you in the slightest. "

When Li Chengqian said this, there was a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was hiding great anger.

Xinxin cried and worshiped: "Your Highness, for the grace of rebuilding, I will repay you to death in the future."

On the second day, the emperor issued an order to the ministers, and the court decided to revise the laws of the Tang Dynasty within a period of three months. The Shangshu Zuopushe Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji took the lead, and the newly promoted minister of punishment Di Renjie was his deputy.

As soon as the news came out, there was another sensation in Chang'an, and the country finally made a big move, and from the looks of it, the last time Di Renjie provoked the uncle of the country, it should be the uncle of the country who had the upper hand. If he didn't see it, he was sent to help others.

Many of Di Renjie's seniors complained about it. Why should the old fox take credit for our achievements?Editing the law is a major event to leave a name in history, and whoever is the editor-in-chief will leave his name, and such a great contribution will be his again.

However, Di Renjie hastily held down the fellow seniors, as long as the law is changed, the ambition of our generation is to benefit the country and the people, and we do not strive for fame or personal gain, and we are all juniors, if a fire broke out in the court, it would definitely It will lead to direct conflicts between old and new courtiers, what good will it do for the country?

In the afternoon of that day, Li Chengqian, Prince of the East Palace, invited many colleagues from the East Palace to gather together to celebrate the achievements of his junior brother Di Renjie.

During the banquet, everyone was enjoying themselves. Li Chengqian called out to the people around him, and then said to Di Renjie: "Little brother, you have made great contributions, and now you are also involved in the law compilation. How about recommending someone to help you with miscellaneous work? It's better to be afraid." You are so busy that you can’t balance public and private affairs.”

Everyone was confused, why is His Highness the Crown Prince doing this?Those who came out of Zhongnan Academy, when did they get used to being served by others?

But Di Renjie saw the satisfaction next to Li Chengqian at a glance. He knew it well, so he nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I can't ask for it. A few days ago, Second Senior Sister Wu sent a letter to urge me..."

After speaking halfway, Di Renjie quickly covered his mouth, why did he reveal this matter?Do you get distracted easily when you think of your sweetheart?

The other senior brothers couldn't let it go, and hurriedly asked: "Why are you urging you? Tell me, why are you shy? Are you urging you to get married quickly?"

Wang Xuance was blunt, and joked: "You are too, Second Martial Sister Wu is such a beautiful woman, she has been waiting for you for so many years, from the eldest girl to the old girl, it's fine that you traveled around before, now you have returned to Beijing to work and don't tell others. ?

If I were a woman, I might not have waited for you long ago. "

Li Chengqian pointed at Wang Xuance and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense. Be careful that there is my elder sister's eyeliner in the palace. If you pass it back, you may not be able to beat my elder sister's martial arts."

During Wang Xuance's studies, he pursued Li Er's favorite princess Li Lizhi, the princess of Changle. After Li Lizhi followed Bai Fan to practice martial arts for ten years and healed her stubborn illness, the two got married.
