Crown Tang emperor

Li Tong stood up from the rope bed, patted Wei Tuan'er's fragrant shoulders who also followed up, and then stepped out of the boat, seeing his own ladies sitting together on the lower part of the boat plank, with their socks still on, they just dipped their legs into the boat. In the pool water, there is a lot of fun.

He walked over and sat on the deck, imitating the ladies who stretched their legs into the pool water, and said with a smile: "If you talk about anything else, you have to observe it. But if you talk about this, you lady is really a frog at the bottom of a well. By."

Exactly how Tang Lingshu appeared in the king's mansion, apart from a few people including Zheng Jin and the concubine, the rest did not know.And the only ones who have really seen this lady's supernatural powers with their own eyes are Li Tong and Zheng Jin.

Hearing that Fu Lang also testified for himself, Tang Lingshu was proud of himself, patted Li Youniang's face with water and said with a smile: "Your Highness is right, you are a frog in a well!"

"I am not a frog. If I were a frog, then I would... yes, sister-in-law, you are the frog. If you are not a frog, how can you have such supernatural powers! You are a green-skinned toad. Capture them!"

Li Youniang was upset and splashed the water back, but she didn't expect her unintentional words to tell the truth. When Tang Lingshu heard this, the smile on his face froze, and he glanced at Li Tong in embarrassment, and then looked at the person sitting on the other side. Princess, bow your head and stop making trouble.

Seeing her like this, Li Youniang also said that she was joking too much, her eyes rolled, and she covered her face and howled dryly: "Just you and your wife make fun of me, don't let me talk about you! Sister-in-law is a big toad, not a green-skinned toad, but a white-haired toad." It's a tender fat-colored toad, so when my brother saw you, he salvaged it and hid it in the house!"

She made it up without saying a word, but Tang Lingshu was even more ashamed when she said this, she rolled her eyes at Li Tong, turned around and rushed back to the cabin.Li Tong also frowned and stared at Li Youniang. Seeing that the lady was just bewildered, he breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to give her a headache.

"What did I say wrong? Brother, why is your wife so weird?"

Li Youniang gave Li Tong a push, and seeing that her elder brother didn't answer, she also washed her head in suspense.But after a while, he still stood up and walked back to the cabin, shouting as he walked, "Sister-in-law, I don't bother you, let's go fishing!"

Not long after, the laughter of two people sounded in the cabin again.

Zheng Wenyin listened to the movement in the cabin, and said enviously: "Ms. Tang and Youniang really have a deep friendship."

Li Tong moved on the deck, approached the princess, and said with a smile: "These two are reckless, and they are companions all the year round, that's all. Get along, let them restrain themselves!"

"How could it be? This is how family members get along with each other, which is the feeling of love! Before entering the house, I only knew that the royal mansion must be solemn and dignified, so I only dared to make a solemn gesture. In fact, living in the countryside, although there is no fatigue of farming, but leisure There are also a lot of trivial matters, how can there be too much spirit and dignity."

Zheng Wenyin lifted the silk shoes soaked in the water, watched the water dripping, and there was a lot of aftertaste on her small face: "There are brothers and sisters playing around at home, sometimes it makes people irritable, sometimes it makes people happy. It makes people miss it.”

"Since that's the case, after this period of time has passed, after returning home, you can bring your relatives into the mansion to be with you in your spare time."

After Li Tong heard the words, he said again, he thought that the princess was born in a famous family, and she should be so solemn that no one dared to neglect her, but after getting along with her, she felt that she could be amiable and vulgar. Accommodating, in short, getting along makes people feel easy-going.

Zheng Wenyin's eyes lit up when she heard this, then she shook her head after a while and said: "I don't want it anymore. If my concubine misses her relatives, she can go home and visit her. There are new personnel in the mansion. If you bring your family over, get along with each other loosely, It looks like intimacy, so it inevitably ignores the feelings of others in the mansion."

"The concubine has thoughtful plans, but there is no need to be so tired when getting along with family members. As long as the relationship between people is getting deeper, there will always be a measure of tolerance in my heart."

Li Tong patted Wang Fei's plain hand and said with a smile.

"During the banquet last night, His Highness already praised my concubine's femininity so much. Of course, this concubine must pay more attention to prevent His Highness from bragging! Let's be more casual in front of others, and be dignified in front of others. If you can't be cautious, How do you intervene in the family affairs of the kings?"

Zheng Wenyin turned her head to look at His Highness's side face, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, before the arrival of the holy chariot, the family members of the kings watched from a distance and gave pointers. They thought they were stealing concubines, how could they serve the famous king? With His Majesty's instruction, there is Your Highness's praise, I have the confidence to let all the women in the court know how I got this honor!"

Li Tong was very happy when he heard the words. He showed his affection in the palace last night. He just wanted to use his grandma's words to leave an excuse to interfere in the family affairs of the kings. Although he did not communicate with the princess in advance, they cooperated well.At this moment, listening to Wang Hao's words so clearly, I feel that this lady is quite wise.

Since the concubine has this kind of insight, Li Tong simply shared his thoughts: "The affairs of foreign courts are strange and complicated, and everyone in the court is tired of dealing with them. In today's world, public and private affairs are not easy, and the family's personal relationship is even more complicated. so it is.

This time, His Majesty called the families into the Forbidden City to live temporarily, hoping to simplify the complicated affairs, and not let the idle disputes within the clan interfere with the situation outside the court.Therefore, the heart of promoting the princess lies in this. Even if there are any disputes about love affairs in the future, the princess does not have to compromise and do things in a grand manner. Even if you don't tell your majesty, your husband will not be able to insult you! "

Zheng Wenyin kicked back Li Tong's finger, nodded and said: "I understand, I will not let His Highness down, and I will not underestimate my family's prestige!"

Speaking of this, she looked back at Wei Tuan'er who was standing a little far away, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, several families got together, and the concubine and Princess Yong were quite isolated. Maid, looking at this situation, I can't say that King Yong is obsessed with sex, and he doesn't want my family to be lonely. If His Highness has this intention, this concubine can also feel it."

Li Tong couldn't help being dumbfounded after hearing the words. After a while, he said with a dry smile: "Can the princess know how to fish? Do you want me to teach you?"

When Zheng Wenyin saw this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "The concubine has recently inquired about the matter, and only then did I know that the marriage will be happy, and the Shangguan in the palace should help a lot. I heard that the Shangguan should be trapped in visiting relatives outside the palace. , can your highness help my concubine in return?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words, and said, "It's just a trivial matter, I will write it down."

Chapter 0427 Criminal Division arrested people, refused on behalf of the king

After staying overnight in Beiya for several days, Li Tong took the time to go back to Qianniuwei Mansion in Nanya to deal with the accumulated cases, select a few seed players, and practice the career of guarding and stealing.

When they returned to the Wei Mansion, General Dou Lu Zhensong and Zhonglang General Li Lingwen were both in the Yamen, and hurriedly went to the hall to report the case to the General.

After experiencing the busy guard missions in Beiya, Li Tong felt more and more that Qianniuwei deserved to be called the idle guard.They don't lead the military mansion themselves, so they don't even have to do basic rotations. Once a list of direct guards is compiled, there is almost no need to revise it throughout the year.

After the Shangsi Festival in March, Li Tong hadn't dealt with the Qianniuwei case much.Up to now, it has been two months since he was full of plans, and there is no accumulated case.

However, out of respect for the general, Dou Luzhensong and Li Lingwen still reported everything in detail, and the most content was the matter of the absence of the body. There are a total of more than a dozen of them, all of which are normal personal leave or sick leave. , which shows Qianniuwei's leisure.

However, there was still one accumulated case that caught Li Tong's attention, that is, the document sent by Si Xing Temple to interrogate a Qianniu Beishen named Zhou Rong.

The document was handed in to the Wei Mansion the day before yesterday, but neither Dou Lu Zhensong nor Li Lingwen signed it for approval. After reading the document, Li Tong frowned and asked, "How about the specifics? Can the Criminal Division make any additions?"

Both of them shook their heads in unison, and Li Lingwen couldn't help but said: "After Lai Junchen entered the Criminal Division, he tried his best to interrogate Shiliu, and a lot of court officials in Baisi were disturbed, and nearly a hundred people were implicated. Therefore, to interrogate Zhou Rong, The deeds must be similar to this..."

"Is Zhou Rong currently in the yamen?"

After hearing the words, Li Tong pondered for a while, then asked another question.

When Xu Jing, the chief historian, heard this, he wrote a book ordering the history to introduce Zhou Rong. By the way, he retrieved Zhou Rong's name and placed it on the general's desk.

Li Tong flipped through the name book and found that Zhou Rong was indeed another official from a wealthy family.

He came from the Runan Zhou family, that is, the Runan Zhou family from which Zhou Wei and Zhou Boren were born, who said "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me". Sui generals participated in the battle to destroy Chen. His grandfather Zhou Shaofan was the general of Zuo Tunwei in the Zhenguan Dynasty of Emperor Taizong.

A similar background is not surprising in Qianniuwei, and it is not worth mentioning.Although the document handed over by Si Xing Si was vague, Li Tong guessed that it was most likely related to the most recent rebellion case of the emperor's heir.

Not long after, Zhou Rong entered the hall. He was a 27-year-old young man who looked very haggard. After entering the hall, he went straight to the front of the general's case and said in a sobbing voice: "I beg the general to live... Entering a criminal case, the lowly position has nothing to do with it, the criminal department is tyrannical and forceful, and the lowly position has not dared to leave the office for several days. It is not because of self-preservation of life, but for fear of being sentenced innocently and being wronged..."

"Tell me what you know."

Li Tong sat in the table and said calmly.

Zhou Rong then narrated the reason of the situation with a trembling tone. Actually, it is not complicated, but it is quite tortuous.

This relative of Zhou Rong, who turned around several times, was related to a death row prisoner in Wangchengyi, and he had served as the eunuch of a Duke of the Dou family, so he was determined to be a suspect and was put on trial by the Sixing Temple. within the range.

As Li Lingwen said, incidents of this kind have occurred frequently in recent days.

Lai Junchen was already known for being framed by Luo Zhi. After he faded out of the current situation for a long time, he sued for a big change and was given a humble position. Of course, he had to work hard to do things. The more people involved, the deeper the case was dug, and the more calm he was. It can be regarded as risking his life to fight for the future.If the case under investigation is not serious and cannot be protected by the Holy Emperor, he will never be able to save his life as he did before.

As for whether this Zhou Rong was innocent or guilty, Li Tong didn't care too much, and he couldn't tell for sure.

Whenever there is a big change in politics, it is rare to be cut off because of the incident. Whatever your identity, you are not guilty or guilty.This Zhou Rong came from a good family background, he was young, and he was still squatting in Qianniuwei. It is conceivable that he is not very aggressive. Even if someone really wants to rebel, he may not be counted as a part of it.

After pondering for a while, Li Tong picked up a pen and sketched a little on the document, and passed it to the chief secretary Xu Jing, saying: "Return it to the Sixing Temple and sue the person in charge of the Criminal Division. Chen Zuofeng Pavilion, and then sent an imperial edict to mention the case. Qianniu Wei Naichen lived close, and the attendant in the tent was not a convenient material for the criminal department to push the case. If such a thing happens again, I will be rude to the person who writes the case! "

After Xu Jing heard the words, he respectfully accepted the order, and then hurried out with the document in hand.As for the others in the hall, they all heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the general's statement.

At present, the Criminal Division has made it clear that it is casting a wide net and catching fish frequently, and no one can say whether it will be involved.If the Shangguan is responsible, not afraid of the majesty of the criminal department, and not allowing the criminal department to question the subordinates rashly, at least it can buy them some time to save themselves.

"Go to court and do things with peace of mind. No one is allowed to arrest the officials in the house without conclusive facts!"

Li Tong said to Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong burst into tears after hearing the words, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, General, for living me, thank you, General..."

Seeing him like this, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh again.

There is a rather sinister saying, why do you think that the accumulation of other people's generations is not as good as your ten-year poverty-stricken window? People who say such words have bad intentions, and those who believe such words are naive.

Why?Just like people in the world, metabolism is the law of nature. If all the ascending channels are stolen and occupied, it will be no different from the death of a human being. All internal renewal and growth will stop completely. People will die, and the world will also wait for death.

When the world is peaceful and people's livelihood is stable, there is nothing wrong with eating a few handfuls of ashes and taking a shortcut.But if you take these things for granted, whoever dies will die if you don’t die.A good family background can indeed make it easier for people to achieve success, but this kind of success cannot withstand the toss brought about by the changes in the world. Whenever there is a big change in the world, this group will die first.

Li Tong's family background is strong enough, and he is top-notch in Qianniuwei's dude, so he still has to bow his head to flatter him and live carefully.Children from aristocratic families such as Zhou Rong, without his protection, would have been treated like pigs in front of Lai Junchen. If they brag less about their family background and behave in a low-key manner, they might live longer.

Before Zhou Rong could withdraw, Li Tong turned his head to look at Dou Lu Zhensong and Li Ling again, and said in displeasure, "You two can deal with such miscellaneous matters in a reasonable way and refuse them directly. ?”

After the two heard the words, their faces were ashamed, and they bowed their heads to admit their mistakes.After Lai Junchen recovered, his methods became more rampant, and what he pushed was a shocking case of rebellion by the emperor's heir. They were all still worried that they might be implicated, so how could they have the confidence to resist the use of criminal justice.

After finishing the chores on the desk, Li Tong ordered Zhu Beishen to be summoned to the school grounds to assess their recent practice results.

When Li Tong came to the school grounds, all the preparations had already gathered.And the statement he made in the yamen hall has also been spread in the yamen, and the eyes of Zhu Bei looking at the general can't help but feel even more admiration and pride.

In the next round of martial arts performances, Li Tong watched from beginning to end.Although his own skills are so-so, after seeing the training scene of Beiya Qianqi, his vision was naturally raised, and he looked down on Qianniuwei's level.

But I have to admit that compared with when he first took over the Qianniuwei, the overall level of physical preparation has improved. At least there will be no more frequent misses or even falling off the horse.It can be seen that during this period of time, the preparations are also seriously practicing.

Li Tong gave a little encouragement to the guards on the school field, and then called Cao Cao and Di Guangyuan to inspect the armory.

Before Di Guangyuan entered the Weifu, his father Di Renjie reminded him to beware of the acting king, but after entering the Yamen, he couldn't see the general for three days or two.

After such a long time, I have to admit the fact that the reason why Dai Wang chose him to serve in the Weifu seems to be really just admiring the righteous deeds he wrote in the previous letter, and he has no great interest in him himself.At least it shouldn't be like his father said there is any deep conspiracy, otherwise how could he have been ignoring him.

Although he didn't have much contact with each other, Di Guangyuan had a certain change in his opinion of Dai Wang after hearing about the deeds of many generations of kings in Yazhong.

He also came from a family of officials and eunuchs, so he had heard about Qianniuwei's ethos in the past, but after he entered the Yamen, he saw that these dudes had a correct attitude and were diligent in training under the management of the king. Impressions from the past.

In their daily interactions, Zhu Beishen also praised Dai Wang a lot, and Di Guangyuan had heard a lot, but he didn't feel that these words of praise were all flattery, and Dai Wang's deeds were indeed remarkable.Among other things, just this day's statement in the hall to reject the Criminal Division, such a sense of responsibility and ambition is not something ordinary people can have.

Li Tong didn't know what Di Guangyuan was thinking, so he wandered around in the armory and picked out a large number of ordnance, some of which were indeed old and worn out, and some of which were only slightly worn, but Not bad and will last a long time.

"Copy these worn-out utensils into the register, first report to Shangshu Xiaguan for replacement, and then Shangfang Supervisor will come and take them away."

After working for a while, Li Tong pointed to the selected batch of utensils and said to Di Guangyuan.

After hearing the words, Di Guangyuan hesitated and said: "Most of these equipment can still be used. The Qianniuwei was not used in battle, but only as a ceremonial guard. Now the imperial court is also embarrassing to use it. Do you want to..."

"You join the army, do you want to work for the government?"

Li Tong was amused when he heard this. He typed something casually at first, and then said: "Although Qianniuwei is only used as a ceremonial guard, it is also the face of the Nanya. I use it in the office, and my eyes are bright. As for the replacement Whether or not, that is the responsibility of other divisions. A young man is determined, and his theory may not be far-reaching enough, but since he has already entered into the matter, he must focus on his own duties. The state uses profit and loss, and you are so light on your calculations, where will you put all the ministers in the hall?"

After hearing this, Di Guangyuan immediately felt ashamed, cupped his fists and said, "Being educated in a humble position, I will never dare to speak rashly again!"

Chapter 0428 His Royal Highness Jing Cong, the pioneer of the king

Li Tong just said it casually, but seeing Di Guangyuan's serious attitude, he couldn't help but look at him twice.

While the clerk was checking the records, he sat in the small hall in front of the armory, beckoned Di Guangyuan to come in, and asked with a smile: "Di Lang has not been in the office for a short time, is there any embarrassing business in his job?" ?”

After hearing the words, Di Guangyuan said respectfully: "The general is in the hall, and the office affairs are in order. He is a low-ranking officer, but he is in the midst of his duties. There is no doubt that it is difficult."

"That's good. Di Lang, you are a talented person selected by me in the southern province. Even if you are a young man, you can be praised for your bravery. Although the duties of the various divisions are different, the only one who guards you is loyalty and diligence. I hope that you can keep your strength and integrity, so that the colleagues in the Yamen can also be proud of working together."

If the Dai Wang had been so kind and encouraging from the beginning, Di Guangyuan would have worried that the Dai Wang would have other deep plans.

But now I feel that what was planned before was purely their father and son thinking too much. Hearing Dai Wang's praise of his past, he was very proud and inspired. In-depth analysis, it is not all about justice. My father was wronged and sentenced, if we don’t try our best to rescue him, the family may not be safe.”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes to look at Li Tong again, and his tone became a little excited: "But the general is not! Cruel officials abuse the world, endanger the years, and the talented scholars in the court may be terrified and silent, avoid things, or He is incapable of restraining evil, and suffers harm, but the general is brave and courageous, enters the world to restrain evil, and restores the world to clarity."

Li Tong was very happy when he heard this, he waved his hands modestly and said: "It's just that it just happens to be the right person, and the spirit is stretched out. The imperial court may use or depose, and has its own system, and it's not something that people outside the matter can make light of."

"However, this big criminal case is extravagant, disturbing the whole department, and intimidating the world. The general can speak out against injustice, and protect us and other Yamen officials from being implicated by Luo Zhi. I am also sincerely grateful to the general for this favor!"

Di Guangyuan's expression became more excited, and he took a step forward and said in a low voice: "In the imperial court, there is no braver and wiser than a general! The current world is in trouble with monsters, and the general is in such a position. If he can bravely shoulder the moral and rescue If you are poor, those who are ambitious and seek justice will be able to follow your command!

There is no shortage of jealous people in the world, who do nothing but talk hard, there are many evil words and satires, slandering the reputation of the general, with ulterior motives, it is hard to be called magnanimous, those who don't know will inevitably be misled by this, and those who know secretly discuss it, I deeply feel sorry for the general . "

After hearing Di Guangyuan's words, Li Tong frowned unavoidably, and his eyes became serious when he looked at him. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Mu Yuhuang's grace, keep your duty, this is I abide by the moral.

If someone's speech has been unfair, and his intentions are even less correct, if people misunderstand because of this, it can be seen as superficial and frivolous, so why should I greet such a corporal who has not accomplished enough and has more than failed?Summer insects can't talk about ice, but their words are limited to knowledge, but they are short of qualifications. Even if they are all in a greenhouse, and the winter is bitterly cold, can they be used as eagle carvings? "

Di Guangyuan became a little dumb after hearing the words, and Li Tong also stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "In justice, although it is not wise to seek one's own life, but if one bears the big with the small, when it collapses, the harm will be destroyed." Those who are not limited to themselves. Those who can see clearly, can't see through half-footed thoughts, and are polite may not be magnanimous gentlemen. If you don't have a strong life and a long life, you don't need to be good at discussing the future of the world."

After speaking, Li Tong turned around and left, leaving Di Guangyuan speechless.

The reason why he chose Di Guangyuan to serve in the Weifu was of course his father Di Renjie.So when Di Guangyuan said such words, the first thing that came to mind was not the young man's admiration for him, but suspicion of what Di Renjie behind him was conveying through his son's mouth.

This made him a little upset. Although everyone can't talk about whether the well water does not violate the river water, they really don't have much friendship.Take one bite at a time to shoulder the moral responsibility and rescue the poor, how many words of flattery do I need from you?

Everyone relies on their own abilities, and they all work in their own way. I don't expect you to help me at critical moments, and you don't even think about using my power to rescue party members.Even if I want to cover up and rescue someone, that is my own wish.

When he returned to the Yatang, Li Tong saw Li Zhan walking up and down in front of the hall. He raised his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Zhan walked forward and followed the general into the hall. After several clerks withdrew, he crossed his hands and said: "The examination period for humble positions is approaching, and I am at a loss for future plans. I dare to ask the general for advice."

Qianniuwei prepares for the exams, just like the officials of Baisi, they also have to evaluate their performance so as to grant promotions.Li Zhan is now 25 years old and has been serving as Qianniu for several years, so he needs to consider his future in the exam.

Of course, if you just want to continue dawdling, it's not impossible.As long as you don't make big mistakes, there are still people in Qianniuwei who are in their early thirties. They live with little money and enjoy a good reputation, and their benefits are stable, and they live in the house for a long time. Maybe one day they will be appreciated by the king and given a beautiful job.

But when most people reach their age, they still have to consider the future.As an important gilding place, Qianniuwei also had a wide range of employment after dismissal, not limited to military positions. For example, Li Linfu and Wei Yingwu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were transferred to civilian positions after the end of Qianniuwei's term of office.

Li Tong raised his hand to signal Li Zhan to come and sit down, and asked with a smile, "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell them."

Li Zhan said with a respectful expression: "Since the general took charge of government affairs, the atmosphere of the Wei Mansion has been awe-inspiring, which has inspired those who are in charge. But after all, the job is idle, so it is inevitable that people will slack off. There is no such thing as poetry in humble posts. He is talented and has no ability to make government orders, but he is still willing to succeed the guards of the two yamen, and he is willing to follow behind the general!"

To say this is to show my loyalty, I am willing to hang around with His Highness forever!

Li Tong was delighted to hear this, he had originally planned to select some of his own people from Qianniuwei to work in the Beiya, but he hadn't decided who to choose, it was a coincidence for Li Zhan.

Li Tong had a good impression of this Li Zhan.When it comes to bow and horse military skills, this Li Zhan is only so-so, barely qualified, but his attitude is very good.Since he entered the yamen, he has always been obedient and obedient, and has a good relationship with his colleagues, and has always been keen to promote and maintain the majesty of the general in the yamen.

Now that he has formally stated that he will continue to follow His Royal Highness Dai Wang, Li Tong should respond to it both emotionally and rationally.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Let's go to the Nan Province for reference first, so don't rush to ask for an instruction. Go home and take a short day's rest, waiting for the summons."

After Li Zhan heard the words, he was delighted, and after thanking him again and again, he quit the government office.

A few days is enough for Li Tong to have a thorough understanding of Qianqi's residential guard affairs, and there may be some ambiguity about personnel matters.
