[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

Li Chengqian didn't know that his father and mother were thinking about his coming-of-age ceremony, but found that his father was exercising his ability to deal with decisions.

Li Shimin ordered that anyone who is still dissatisfied with the verdict after the Shangshu Province's verdict can "appeal" to the East Palace where Li Chengqian lives, and let Li Chengqian make a decision after "hearing the lawsuit".In this way, on the one hand, Li Chengqian can be trained, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

On this day, Li Chengqian and Yixin were flipping through the past files when they suddenly heard a report from a servant saying that the emperor was furious in the palace.

Li Chengqian frowned and said: "But I found out clearly, what happened in the palace?"

The attendant responded: "I heard it's because of a Dali Temple... called Zhang or something..." Li Chengqian blurted out: "But Zhang Yungu?"

The attendant's eyes lit up, and he quickly echoed, "Hey, that's right, that's the name. It is said that this Zhang Sicheng did something to offend His Majesty."

As soon as he said that, Li Chengqian remembered, and he waved his hand to make the attendants retreat.Looking at his expression, she said softly, "Your Highness, do you know something?"

Li Chengqian touched his face with a smile: "Am I acting so obvious?"

Xin Xin also smiled: "Your Highness is not obvious, but which little action of yours I can't see?"

Li Chengqian put down the file in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed his shoulder.Xinxin consciously walked behind him, but before he pressed Li Chengqian's shoulder, he saw Li Chengqian holding his forehead with his hand.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Just as Yi Xin wanted to help him, Li Chengqian waved his hand at him: "I'm fine, I think it's because I read a lot of files recently and my eyes are a little tired."

Li Chengqian said he was fine, but actually it took him a long time to recover.Looking at him worriedly, she stretched out her hand and pulled him onto the couch.

When he saw clearly the fine ring of cold sweat on Li Chengqian's forehead, he felt his chest tighten immediately, and couldn't help saying softly: "Your Highness, send the imperial physician to come and take a look."

Li Chengqian slowed down on the couch, took his hand and said: "At this juncture, I won't cause trouble for the emperor. It's not a big deal after all, just take a break. It's not just me, you I've been watching for a long time, come up and sleep with me for a while." Then, he patted the empty space in the bed and let out a long breath.

Unable to resist him, he obediently took off his shoes and lay down on the couch.

Li Chengqian turned over abruptly, and Xin felt a tight circle around his waist, as if a person's weight was on his body.

Li Chengqian's lips almost brushed his ears: "Don't move, let me hold you for a while, let me hold you for a while." Hearing his breathing, she also felt the fatigue of the person beside her, and immediately Don't move anymore, just make a good pillow wholeheartedly.

After a while, he heard Li Chengqian say: "The matter of Zhang Yungu is very difficult."

Xinxin gave a soft "hmm", indicating that she was listening.

"This Zhang Yungu is an honest man and a good official. The position of Dali Temple Chancellor is really suitable for him, and it is enough to show that the emperor's ability to know people. He treats the prisoners under him like spring wind and rain. He will never ignore the ones that can be unraveled and saved.”

Xin Xin nodded and said: "So, this Zhang Sicheng is really remarkable. Although Dali Temple is a special place to try cases, there are really few people who can treat prisoners like this."

Li Chengqian sighed: "It is precisely because Zhang Yungu knows all the prisoners under his command very well that he will find the father, because he has a prisoner under his command, who is a lunatic."

"Crazy?" Yi Xin couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Li Chengqian: "Your Highness means that he violated the law because he became crazy."

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Yes, this man's madness doesn't happen at any time, he has normal times. Whenever he recovers from the madness and returns to normal, he regrets what he did when he was crazy Zhang Yungu's heart was moved by this kind of back and forth."

Yi Xin hesitated and said: "But in this law, there is no mention in the law that a prisoner in such a situation can be pardoned or have his sentence reduced. There is no such precedent."

"That's right." Li Chengqian stroked Xinxin's soft hair: "That's why Zhang Yungu went to find his father."

Xin Xin frowned and said: "But, Your Majesty wouldn't be so angry just because of this matter."

There was a smile in Li Chengqian's voice: "Of course not. Father, instead of being angry, was grateful for Zhang Yungu's painstaking efforts. He promised that the prisoner would be released soon."

"But that Zhang Yungu got his father's guarantee, so he was very happy, so he took a jar of wine and went to have a drink with the prisoner. When the wine was hot, he actually told the prisoner about the pardon."

Yi Xin was startled, vaguely guessing something.He also heard Li Chengqian say: "The prisoner listened to the words in his heart and remembered them firmly. When he was awake, he could hide the words in his heart, but when he got sick, he said them all at once. Not only It’s a prisoner in Dali Temple, one story spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, and in the end even the censor was alarmed.”

Yixin suddenly realized that the reason why Zhang Yungu offended the emperor was because of leaking the "banned Chinese language".Li Shimin is the emperor, and not everyone can listen to his words.Zhang Yungu is an official of the imperial court, and it is his great honor to still be qualified to face the emperor. It does not mean that ordinary people have the right to know what the emperor said.

In the last life, Zhang Yungu revealed the emperor's golden words to the prisoner, which was a mistake.However, the prisoner spoke out again, which was a mistake on top of another mistake.In the end, the censor found out about this matter and stabbed it in front of the emperor.The emperor lost all face, and in a fit of anger, dealt with Zhang Yungu and the other people involved.

Li Chengqian said softly: "In my previous life, my father told me more than once that Zhang Yungu's case was his fault. It was because he acted too arbitrarily that Zhang Yungu lost his life, and Datang also lost a good minister." It was also after this incident that the emperor made a rule that even the emperor should not take human life easily, and he must go through five rounds of asking for instructions before he can be executed."

After listening to his heart, he had to praise Li Shimin's demeanor.Since then, the Tang Dynasty has had a quintuple system, and Zhang Yungu's departure is not unjust.But it wasn't until this moment that Xinxin suddenly realized that Li Chengqian might have other intentions when he said this to him.

"Your Highness wants to save Zhang Yungu?" asked Xinxin.

"Zhang Yungu is a good minister. Since I knew this in advance, I wouldn't let the tragedy of my previous life repeat itself. It's just that I have no idea how this will help him."

Now that Xinxin understands, it's no wonder Li Chengqian is having a hard time dealing with it.On the one hand is Li Shimin who is in a fit of anger. If Li Chengqian persuades him directly, the emperor's anger may be transferred to himself; on the other hand is Zhang Yungu who regrets killing Li Shimin. Li Chengqian wants to help, but he can't find a breakthrough.

"What if the death penalty is changed to demotion or exile? As long as Zhang Yungu is still alive, when the emperor thinks of him and the anger in his heart disappears, he will naturally call him back."

Li Chengqian's eyes brightened. Indeed, Zhang Yungu's leak of "Forbidden Chinese" was already a crime, but he was not guilty of death.As long as he can save his life, it is equivalent to leaving a step for Li Shimin, and Zhang Yungu can survive.

Looking at Li Chengqian's instantly lit eyes, Xinxin said softly, "However, His Highness has to discuss this matter. If His Highness thinks the five reconsideration measures are good, he can also bring it up to His Majesty."

Li Chengqian sounded reasonable, he wished he could hug and kiss her heartily.Immediately, a carp sat up straight, wondering if it was too ruthless, a layer of black shadow was cast over his eyes again, and his eyesight, which had finally recovered, was lost again.

Yixin didn't know the condition of Li Chengqian's eyes, he only saw the person beside him sitting up quickly, but then suddenly stopped, his pupils were dilated, and his eyes were out of focus.

Xinxin grabbed Li Chengqian's sleeve: "Your Highness, are you really... all right?"

Li Chengqian fumbled and clenched Xin's hand, in front of his eyes seemed to be countless stars floating in the night sky, pricking his temples, only the people beside him could truly feel it.After a period of silence like this, the black galaxy in front of him dissipated little by little, just like a closed window, a little light came out faintly.

Gradually, Li Chengqian's eyesight recovered.The first thing he saw was Xin Xin's anxious face.Li Chengqian knew what he wanted to say, but he just patted Xinxin's hand: "I'm going to the palace to meet my father, wait for my good news, if you can successfully save Zhang Yungu this time, it will be your credit. "

There was no happy expression on Xin Xin's face, he helped Li Chengqian out of bed.But as soon as Li Chengqian's feet touched the ground, he felt a prickling sensation from the soles of his feet, which made him almost unable to stand.

But there was nothing unusual on Li Chengqian's face.He let Xin Xin arrange his clothes, during which time his eyes never left Xin Xin's cheek.When Yixin wanted to get away, she was suddenly hugged into her arms. Li Chengqian seemed to have grown taller again, faintly revealing the appearance of a little adult.

"Wait for me to come back." Li Chengqian left a sentence, and walked out of the palace gate very steadily.Yixin felt the sudden emptiness in front of her, and a trace of inexplicable uneasiness floated in her heart.

Li Chengqian rejected the proposal to enter the palace on horseback, and he took every step firmly.It is precisely because of the firmness that the needle-like pain becomes more and more obvious.He is very familiar with this kind of pain. In his previous life, he spent most of his life with this kind of pain.However, the pain at that time was much more intense than it is now, so much so that he almost had to walk with a cane later on.

It should come, it will come.

With a tense face, Li Chengqian walked towards the palace step by step.
