At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

Officials from the state capital who were escorted to Beijing from the Yellow River Road have arrived in Beijing.

Within the entire city of Chang'an, one word spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and it spread all at once.

The common people cut off the onlookers, as if it was boiling, people shouted and cursed, and threw rotten leaves and earth and rocks at the prisoners.

Teams of sergeants stood tightly on Zhuque Avenue, guarding them, preventing the furious people from rushing up and tearing up these prisoners.

These people were then taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

at the same time

The Son of Heaven, civil and military officials are also fighting fiercely at this time, discussing how to execute these prisoners.

Fang Xuanling: "Your Majesty, I believe that adding bran, vegetation, and even sand into the people's porridge is like a pig and a dog, and must be severely punished."

Li Shimin nodded, looked calmly at the courtiers below, glanced at Changsun Wuji and the others, and asked, "My dear friends, do you have any other opinions? What do you think, Minister of Rites, Hou Junji?"

Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, I think the crime is extremely heinous. The first culprit is to punish the nine clans, and the rest will be executed by state officials."

Just then.

"I have a different opinion!"

"I don't think so!"

"I object to this!"

Three consecutive questions and objections made Chaotang startled.

Fang Xuanling turned her head, looking surprised.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin?

What do these three guys want to do?When did you wear a pair of pants?

s: We usually update at 6:9 p.m. and [-]:[-] p.m., if there are not enough updates

Chapter 70: Changes in Goguryeo

Just when Fang Xuanling rolled his eyes, thinking about the ins and outs of this matter.

The three have spoken out.

Cheng Yaojin said with a righteous face: "Your Majesty, I think the purpose of mixing vegetation, bran, and sand in it is to distinguish real victims from fake victims. If they are real victims, even if the porridge is mixed with sand I will eat it, because it can save my life, and those fake disaster victims don’t bother to eat this kind of thing.”

"That's right, I think officials should be punished if they are really corrupt, but I don't believe that all the officials in these state capitals are involved in corruption, so if they all beheaded for public display, wouldn't it make the officials of the entire Yellow River Road a vacuum?"

"With such a large base, where can we make up for it?"

Wei Zheng, as always, spoke righteously.

Changsun Wuji also stood up at this time, cleared his throat and said: "I also think that these officials cannot be generalized, let alone killed, and should be investigated clearly, whether they are greedy for ink, and how much they are greedy."

He even said Qin Shou's original words directly.

The whole court was suddenly quiet.

Fang Xuanling and all the courtiers stared at the three of them blankly.

嘶

what's going on?

Obviously, didn't you also write a letter to His Majesty to behead these people in public to show that you are listening?

Why is it back now?

To say such a remark?

What surprised them even more was that what these three guys said was so logical, and it really made sense to taste it carefully.

Is this really what the three of you came up with?

Fang Xuanling's eyes kept switching on the faces of the three people, always feeling that something was wrong.

Then, he turned his eyes to Li Shimin who was sitting on the dragon chair with a smile on his face.

This made him feel even more ominous.

Could it be a play directed and acted by His Majesty and these three people?

Nima!

Fang Xuanling wanted to go crazy, he was the chief prime minister, so he didn't discuss anything with him now?

He suddenly remembered what Wei Zheng said to himself before: We are isolated from His Majesty's circle.

But in the current situation, Wei Zheng, an old bastard, has entered His Majesty's circle, but he is excluded again?

After pretending to be thinking for a while, Li Shimin said quietly. "Well, I think that what the three love ministers said is reasonable. If you don't understand the matter, you still need to find out the truth. We can't let people who are greedy for ink go, but we can't kill one of them."

In fact, all this has long been preset.

Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched: ""

what can i do

Your Majesty, since you have already made up your mind, why do you have to scold me?

Although there were tens of thousands of words in his heart, he still said: "Your Majesty, I think that the opinions of the uncle and others are really pertinent."

However, this is not over yet, Wei Zheng stepped forward again and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think that anti-corruption should be normalized, not phased. I proposed to establish an anti-corruption prosecutorial office. I am not willing to take up this burden for your majesty. Share worries"

what?

What do you mean?

All the people above the court were stunned.

This time, not only the courtiers, but even the faces of many princes changed wildly.

Especially Prince Li Chengqian, he was very uneasy just now, because many officials in the Yellow River Road had inextricable relationships with him, it can be said that he was the biggest beneficiary of this incident.

He just thought about this matter and hurried to the past, and heard that his father wanted to investigate strictly, his expression disappeared.

Now that he heard that Wei Zheng was going to set up a special anti-corruption office, he couldn't breathe smoothly.

Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin's faces suddenly became ugly, and they cursed secretly.

Nima!

We said it together, why the hell are you so prominent?

You are forced to pretend by yourself, what should we do?

That's right, these words were also what Qin Shou said at the time, but Wei Zheng preempted them.

The tone is set, and the court meeting will end soon.

Li Shimin's request for this major corruption case is to strictly investigate and deal with it, and at the same time set up an anti-corruption office to carry out clean and honest work.

After court

Fang Xuanling held Wei Zheng tightly, "Old miscellaneous hair, what's the matter with you?"

"What's the matter?"

Fang Xuanling stared fiercely at Wei Zheng's eyes and said, "Aren't you the Imperial Envoy? Why are you in His Majesty's circle now?"

"Old Fang, what are you talking about?" Wei Zheng asked seriously.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help being startled: ""

Did you think wrong?

Where is the problem?

"Father?"

"Huh? Yizhi"

It wasn't until Fang Xuanling realized that Wei Zheng was gone, and the person standing in front of him had become the eldest son Fang Yizhi.

"Father, why did you stand here motionless for a long time, and you thought that"

"It's okay." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said with emotion: "It's really strange, our Majesty has become incomprehensible during this period, and now even Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Cheng Yaojin have also begun to become elusive”

Fang Yizhi also shook his head again and again.

Because he only knew that there was one person in Princess Gaoyang's mansion, and he didn't know anything else.

"What has Yi Ai been up to lately? She's already a son-in-law, and she can't even see a single person every day. How can she be decent?"

"I don't know here either." Hearing this, Fang Yi couldn't help but panicked.

Just when political corruption in the imperial court was in full swing.

An urgent play was sent to the emperor and all the courtiers.

Goguryeo, which has always had a tense relationship, even took the initiative to send envoys to Chang'an, calling it state affairs exchanges.

You know, during the former Sui Dynasty, there were four major campaigns against Goguryeo, but all of them failed.

Countless zombies died on the battlefield. During the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty sent people to Goguryeo to collect the corpses of Han people, trying to destroy the Jingguan corpses of Han people cast in Goguryeo.

Frictions continued here, and the hatred between the two sides became more and more serious.

But now they take the initiative to send envoys to Datang?

What is its intention?

Suspicion abounded in the hall for a while.

"Your Majesty, you can't let them come. They obviously have no good intentions."

"No, let them come. I, Tang Dynasty, is so magnanimous, how can I show weakness to him?"

"That's right, our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and it is not in line with our tolerance to keep people away from thousands of miles away."

"However, don't forget that on their land, there are still our Han people's Jingguan."

"That's from the former Sui Dynasty, not from our Tang Dynasty"

"I'll hit your mother, I've forgotten my ancestors, do you ever speak like that?"

""

Chapter 71: A Life for a Pearl

Although the reaction in the court was fierce, since Goguryeo was willing to send envoys to come, it was still necessary to meet.

In the end Li Shimin made a final decision: "Preach the decree and let them come!"

"But all lovers must be prepared, and you must not fall into the style of my Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

""

State affairs are no small matter.

Following the emperor's will, the checkpoints and state capitals along the way will naturally not be blocked, and the mission will be unimpeded.

Coming in a mighty way.

The news of Goguryeo's upcoming visit still brought some changes to Datang.

In the streets and alleys, the people's discussions and curses continued.

"Gaoguryeo? Is it that small country where we Han corpses are set up as capitals?"

"How did you let this disobedient country come? They took advantage of the turmoil in our Central Plains and occupied the Liaodong area to have them now."

"Who says it's not? Not to mention that they occupied Liaodong, they have continued to invade and provoke us in the Tang Dynasty all these years."

"I heard that the current Goguryeo has a large population, and its strength is stronger than that of our Northern Territory of Tang Dynasty."

As for Qin Shou, what he cared about was not Goguryeo, but the business of opening his own shop.

Although Ling'er didn't want to let him go out, he still traveled all over Chang'an City these days. How could he give up the preliminary market research?

During the period, he made an appointment with Pei Wanyin again. After all, the issue of the store still had to be finalized.
