Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 399

Li Xiaogong did not take the chariots and horses to the station to rest.

For a big man like Luo Yan, he still felt that it would be better for him to be placed in the special place for detaining criminal officials in Dali Temple.

Luo Yan didn't have any opinion on this.Anyway, many officials just want to see this result, so let them watch it carefully.

Hearing that it was Luo Yan being escorted, Dali Temple Qing Dai Zhou hurriedly abandoned the warming stove and rushed to the gate of Dali Temple to greet him.

It's not that Dai Zhou is following the trend.You must know that the life and death of those sent here are actually controlled by Dali Temple.In this way, people don't have to give anyone face at all.

But Luo Yan was different.Dai Zhou and Luo Yan are old friends.We have tried several difficult cases together.Now that an old friend is in trouble, if Dai Zhou doesn't come and see it in person, it will seem too impersonal.

Public and private can be distinguished during the trial.But before the trial, should it be a friend or a friend.

When Luo Yan got off the carriage under Li Xiaogong's watchful eyes, and stretched indulgently, he saw Dai Zhou walking out from the gate of Dali Temple.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Dai? He was just looking for you. Is it convenient for an old friend to come and stay with you for a few days?" Luo Yan said to Dai Zhou very relaxedly.

Dai Zhou was a little unhappy by Luo Yan's attitude, which was similar to going out for a trip. "Cheng Guogong, what do you think is a good place to go here? You have been here before, don't you know that if you enter my place, life and death are likely to be at stake in all likelihood. Why are you still in the mood to make such a joke?"

Seeing that an honest person like Dai Zhou was irritated by him, Luo Yan also put away his joking attitude, and said to Dai Zhou very seriously: "Since I dare to say that, brother, then I can be sure of getting rid of the crime." .Okay, don't be angry. Why do I smell a kind of baked potato scent, set up the house for me later, and send some over for me to taste. "

As we talked, we started to be unreasonable again.Dai Zhou couldn't do anything about this kind of joke, he gave Li Xiaogong a helpless look, motioned to a few guards behind him, and then sent Luo Yan to Dali Temple.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed his hands to Li Xiaogong: "The prince just needs to go back and return to his orders. Duke Cheng is here with me, nothing will happen."

Li Xiaogong nodded, and then rushed to Tai Chi Palace.Snowflakes are still dancing in the sky.

Winter in the north is chilling.Even if it is as magnificent as the Tai Chi Palace, in this season, apart from a piece of white, it is the gray road that the palace people clean up from time to time.

Li Shimin, as usual, nestled in the warm pavilion to handle government affairs.Hearing that it was Li Xiaogong who came back to return to his command, he paused immediately with the ink pen in his hand. "Brother Wang, please come in." There was no superfluous instruction, but the servant who had served Li Shimin for many years could still hear it clearly.

Li Xiaogong was waiting outside the Nuan Pavilion at this time, when he heard Li Shimin's call, but in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Li Shimin.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Cheng Guogong has been taken to Dali Temple by my ministers, and has been handed over to Dali Temple Minister Dai Zhou for custody. He has remained calm all the way and has not found anything wrong." When he said the last sentence, Li Xiaogong was very upset. careful.

It is very difficult to be able to report back truthfully without mixing your own feelings.Everyone knew that Luo Yan had saved his life.

Li Shimin nodded, knowing it immediately made Li Xiaogong feel a lot easier.My job is finally done.

After Li Xiaogong bowed out, the six ministries of the three provinces received Li Shimin's edict at the same time: "At tomorrow's hour, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou will jointly try the Yizhou governor Luo Yan's case of infidelity."

No one thought it would be so fast.

No, it should be said that many people did not even receive the news that Luo Yan had arrived in Chang'an.It wasn't until Li Shimin's edict was issued that some people suddenly realized that Luo Yan had been escorted to Chang'an.

Chengguo Mansion.

Since the whole court was discussing Luo Yan's disrespect, Chang Le felt a little restless.Li Shimin's imperial decree made Changle very worried. He used to live in the palace and lived well with Empress Changsun, but now he has moved out a long time ago.

If anyone is the most sensitive to news from the palace during this period, it must be Changle.

The six ministries of the three provinces received Li Shimin's edict on the front foot, and someone brought the news to Cheng Guogong's mansion on the back foot.

"What, my husband is locked up in Dali Temple now?" Chang Le exclaimed, and immediately ordered his servants: "Hurry up, prepare the carriages and horses, I'm going to Dali Temple."

Not to mention, what else is more important than going to see Luo Yan.The anxiety during this period of time immediately turned this anxious cry into a crying voice.Changle wished he could appear in front of Luo Yan immediately.

There is no caravan, no guard of honor.All those court regulations were left behind by Changle.With a light carriage, a coachman and a maid, they left Duke Cheng's mansion in the time it takes to make a cup of tea, and headed for Dali Temple in no time.

When Changle saw Luo Yan again, he almost didn't recognize him.

It's not because of the exhaustion of the journey that it's so broken.

It was all caused by Luo Yan's half-eaten baked potato.

Dai Zhou was also an honest person, just now when Luo Yan said that he was fine, he happily brought over the three potatoes roasting under the charcoal brazier.

Because I was busy receiving Luo Yan just now, I forgot to turn it over, and one side was naturally burnt.But the ones on hand were brought by Dai Zhou when he came in the morning, and he wanted to bake them again, but he didn't have any on hand.

In desperation, following the principle of not wasting, I just sent it to Luo Yan.

Who knew that Luo Yan would not dislike him like this.He refused the help of the guards, started directly, gobbled up one, and his face was naturally scorched black.

Chang Le, who was still worried at first, couldn't help laughing when he saw Luo Yan like this.

After laughing, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped the marks on Luo Yan's face.

"Husband, why are you so careless?" It seemed to be complaining that Luo Yan wiped dirt on his face while eating potatoes, and also seemed to be worried about various mistakes in Yizhou.As Chang Le spoke, two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

No girl has ever cried for herself.This is the first time for the two Luo Yans to be human.So seeing the tears in the corners of Changle's eyes, Luo Yan, a 30-year-old man, didn't know what to do.I want to wipe away the teardrops hanging on the soft skin with my hands, but my hands are dirty.

In a hurry, he lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped his hands with the lining, then looked at Chang Le, and said tenderly: "Good boy, I didn't make it clear to you in advance. Don't worry, it's okay. At most, the day after tomorrow, husband I can go home with you."

"Really? Don't lie to me." Changle's tears were still dripping, but being comforted by Luo Yan made her feel a lot easier.In the past few years with Luo Yan, he has never been deceived by Luo Yan.As for such a big event this time, Changle is willing to believe that what Luo Yan said is true.

Smiling, I nodded to Changle as if I promised, and then said: "I actually want to tell you, there are some things I don't say, just because I want to come back and spend a new year with you."

After being teased by Luo Yan, Chang Le's mood improved a lot.Leaning in Luo Yan's arms, she gently tapped Luo Yan's shoulder a few times, and said angrily, "You know how to lie to me."

Tired with Changle for a while, and then let her go back with peace of mind.As for Luo Yan who returned to the table, his expression was not relaxed.

According to the news brought by Chang Le, he will be tried tomorrow.Then Li Shimin's mind is actually easy to guess.He just wanted to have a result as soon as possible, so that many noisy courtiers could get an answer.

So this time, if you want to rely on Li Shimin, there is no hope at all.The only way out is still in your own hands.If I can't handle this matter simply and roughly tomorrow, I'm afraid I will still be in trouble in the future.

Fortunately, along the way, the issues that should be considered have been thought through clearly.Now, it's just a matter of being careful.Bored, Luo Yan looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, and simply fell asleep early.

The cessation of sleet and snow is the welfare brought to the people of Chang'an when the red sun rises.Fortunately, the snow wasn't very heavy a while ago, so this time I finally didn't hear the wailing of houses collapsing and people dying in a certain corner of Chang'an.

But all of this seems to have nothing to do with Luo Yan.

After getting up early and having refreshments, I was invited to the main hall of Dali Temple.Having been to this place many times before, Luo Yan is quite familiar with it.But this time he was the one being interrogated, which was a bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, although Luo Yan has now been seized as the governor of Yizhou, the Duke's title has not changed, and the three of them and himself are old acquaintances.Therefore, after coming in, he was able to sit on the stool and answer the questions of the three of them.

As the presiding judge, Changsun Wuji saw that Luo Yan was sitting upright, so he asked, "Luo Yan, Yizhou officials impeached you for disregarding the state and kneeling before the Shanman. I wonder if this is true?"

This problem is definitely a pit.Although Changsun Wuji didn't mean to trick himself, the words inside are definitely worth pondering.

"When I knelt down, the Sri Lankan people had been naturalized for more than ten years, and they should be my subjects. Therefore, kneeling down to the mountain man is purely out of thin air."

"Then kneeling down to the people of Yizhou, is it true?"

"That's right, that's true."

"Do you know that this matter damages the majesty of the court?"

"Of course I know, so I have to plead guilty." Luo Yan confessed very bachelorly.This surprised Changsun Wuji, who had been refuted by Luo Yan just because of the difference between two characters.Even Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou were a little uncertain about what Luo Yan wanted to do.

"Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to make up for it." Luo Yan's next sentence made the three of them stunned.Co-author, Luo Yan is here waiting for everyone. "Kneeling to the naturalized people is purely forced by the situation, and it is also a preparation for the subsequent appeasement. I think that in just a few days, there will be a report from Yizhou, and all the mountain barbarians in Yizhou will be appeased."

For a moment, the three asked in unison: "Really?"
