Chapter 59
In the Taiji Palace, it was already night, but there were still people begging to see the emperor.

The general on duty of Marquis Wu and the servant of the Ministry of Punishment came together, told what happened in the two yamen today, and presented a gold medal.

Li Er nodded and confirmed: "The gold medal is correct. It was a gift from the Supreme Emperor to Princess Pingan. Both of you are people who met the King of Qin at the court meeting. It's just a misunderstanding. You shouldn't be so nervous to report overnight, right?"

The two looked at each other, and General Wuhou felt a little embarrassed: "I report to Your Majesty, the following people have offended His Highness King Qin for dereliction of duty, and it will be fine if they are punished in the end, but today's incident is a bit big, and the general will not dare to take it easy." Special, so come to ask for instructions."

"Big? How big? I haven't heard any bad news. Could it be that this kid Doudou burned down your yamen?" Li Er stroked his beard with a smile.

General Wuhou nodded with a sad face and said: "Although it is not burned, it is almost the same. Her Royal Highness Princess Ping'an is very brave. After a misunderstanding, she single-handedly defeated everyone in Wuhou's Yamen. Except for those who were patrolling the streets, the rest of the staff All of them are wounded, and they are all lying in the Yamen to recuperate, and the last general and his subordinates are almost unavailable, so I come to ask His Majesty for instructions."

What? ? ?
Li Er exclaimed, and asked puzzledly: "What's going on? Why did you fight with a child? Where's His Royal Highness King Qin? Didn't you stop him?"

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment next to him helped explain: "There was a misunderstanding at the time, and they escorted His Highness King Qin to the Ministry of Punishment alone, so they were not there."

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu's office is almost paralyzed, what do you think will happen?" General Wuhou said aggrievedly.

How to deal with it?

Li Er was so angry, he really wanted to kick him, is he so stupid?Of course, everyone issued a gag order, and it is strictly forbidden to talk about today's events, especially the matter of Princess Ping's martial arts skills.

"Ah? This, this, Your Majesty, what about the task of patrolling the streets of Wuhou Yamen?"

"Task? You can think of a way to do the task. Is it important to have a child's reputation? That's a cute little princess. Listen to what you said just now, she is very brave? How will you get married in the future?" Li Er scolded. A pass.

General Wuhou hurriedly lowered his head, almost frightened to death, right? He ignored that she was a little princess. If His Royal Highness Qin Wang knew about this, he would be so angry that he would burn the Wuhou yamen, right?

After a while, Li Er slightly extinguished his anger, and said in a harmonious voice: "Since the Wuhou Yamen is short of manpower, let the rest of the staff work harder for two or three days. The foreign troubles in the Tang Dynasty are not extinguished, and I have no manpower to lend you. , I will order the Tai Hospital to send additional clinics to help with treatment later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" General Wuhou thanked him and stood aside.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment took the initiative to report, "Your Majesty, at that time, because of a misunderstanding, His Royal Highness King Qin happened to be imprisoned at the bottom of the dungeon. He met Yuwen Chengdu, the god of murder. Later, when the prince came out, he insisted on taking him away, saying that he was going to recruit him as a prisoner." Princess Ping An's guard has a gold medal as collateral, I dare not stop him, so I come here to report."

Yuwen Chengdu?Li Er was slightly surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he frowned and said with a smile: "It's okay, the world has been set, a general Tianbao is nothing more than a high-powered guard, since the King of Qin dares to use this person, he has the means to subdue him. Worry."

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise."

"Then Yuwen Chengdu is also a famous general in the world. Now that he has come out and served as a bodyguard for the fifth brother, he can no longer bear a black reputation and pass the decree. Feng Yuwen Chengdu is the general of the Qin Palace's personal guards, named Tianbao General, and the military rank is four. product." Li Er was so generous that he directly appointed him a high-ranking official.

The servant of the Ministry of Justice and General Wuhou were shocked. It seemed that His Majesty did not have ordinary trust in His Highness King Qin, which was very abnormal.

The servant Gao took the order to deliver the decree. Li Er turned his head and said with a flash of inspiration: "His Royal Highness Qin, this is a good way. In troubled times and the beginning of peace, the most indispensable thing in the Tang Dynasty is these capable death row prisoners. Instead of letting them These people are old and dead, it is better to let them come out and contribute to Datang."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? These people are all dangerous elements, and there are hidden dangers if they are released." The Minister of Criminal Justice reminded.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "I know that there are hidden dangers, but there are no doubts about employing people. They were originally rebellious and unruly people. After being imprisoned on death row, their hostility and character have been smoothed out. Most of them, I think. There should be only the desire to survive and reason, and it is not a problem to select a group of available people."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment saluted and said: "Your Majesty is holy, I don't know where to use it after being selected? Is it for the army?"

"No, it's different from the previous assignments to the army. I decided that this group of people will stay in Chang'an and set up another office called bad people. Prisoners are all given the status of ordinary people, and if they make meritorious service, it is not a problem to be promoted to an official and reused."

Before the minister of punishment could speak, General Wuhou next to him praised happily: "Your Majesty is wise, in this way, the life of Wuhou's yamen will be greatly increased, and there will be no need to worry about no one to use. Moreover, this bad person was born on death row, and most of them are dead. A person with unique skills must be able to do a job better than others, it is simply a wonderful way to turn waste into treasure."

The servant of the Ministry of Justice looked at General Wuhou with a strange look in his eyes, and wondered why this fellow suddenly became enlightened?She is usually clumsy and tongue-tied, but this stall can boast so much?
After the discussion, the two resigned, and Li Er handed over the gold medal to the servant Lao Gao, and ordered him to send it back to Xiao Doudou when delivering the decree.

So far, Datang's famous bad person system was established by chance.

This night, it was destined to be an extraordinary night. The news spread over the streets and alleys of Chang'an in a rush of [-] miles, alarming countless people who were already asleep. The Turks from the north finally came. Soon Jinyang will be attacked.

In the palace, Emperor Li Er suffered from insomnia.

Thousands of miles away in Jinyang City, Governor of Bingzhou Li Ji, General Chai Shao, and other generals are studying the strategy of defending against the enemy. It seems that everyone is not sleepy at all.

Seeing the low morale, Li Ji comforted everyone and said, "You don't need to panic. Although the Turkic barbarians are numerous and powerful, they made their fortunes on horseback and are not good at attacking cities. We can still defend Jinyang."

Everyone nodded noncommittally, and Chai Shao sighed: "Captain, it's not that we are afraid of the Turkic barbarians. We may not be as good as them in terms of cavalry, but we have never been afraid of anyone defending the city. The problem now is that they burned, killed and looted all the way. Harm the common people.

We can't hold on, but the people of Bingzhou are afraid that they will suffer. Recently, they have been receiving letters of pleas for help every day, all of which are bad news. Watching them wreak havoc on our people is really frustrating! "

Li Ji gritted his teeth and said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. Let's gather our anger. The imperial court has sent Marshal Li Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to support him. He will arrive in two days. Then it will be time for us to take revenge."

All the generals nodded their heads heavily, each holding their breath and staring angrily. The entire Dudu Mansion was like a powder keg, waiting for a spark to ignite the anger of revenge in an instant.
