Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

So Li Shimin thought about it for a moment, and planned to demote Zhang Yungu from the capital, and go to other places to be a small official or something.

At worst, wait a few years before calling him back.

But at this moment, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others finally rushed over from outside the city.

When he saw that Li Qiu was really alive, he was overjoyed.

But right now he didn't have the time to reminisce about the old days. After learning about the situation here, he took the lead in admonishing Li Shimin with his eyes wide open.

"Your Majesty, this piece of Yungu is a dignified third-rank official, and occupies an important position in Jingzhao Mansion."

"Now His Majesty is going to execute Zhang Yungu without a review based on the few words of a random censor with a wicked mind?"

"Could it be that this piece of Yungu really has nothing in His Majesty's heart about his usual achievements, political achievements, and moral conduct?"

"Could it be that the law in the "Criminal Law Records" that the death penalty should be executed three times before it is ignored?"

"If the precedent of Zhang Yungu is set, will the next time someone falsely accuses your majesty to behead Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, etc.?"

"Your Majesty listens to slander and kills innocent people indiscriminately. How is it different from those foolish kings in the history books?!"

Like a machine gun, he recklessly attacked and advised, which made Li Qiu feel his scalp go numb.

Not to mention anything else, let's talk about Wei Zheng's courage and righteousness, he and Li Qiu are 1 convinced.

Once this Wei Zheng catches the reason, he is really not afraid of death!

As for Li Shimin, after all, he is the king of a country, the emperor with the best face, and the one who cares most about his reputation in history.

Now in front of so many ministers of civil and military affairs, Wei Zheng is directly compared to those foolish emperors, his face is naturally embarrassed and extremely ugly.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji rushed back with someone with red eyes.

Like Wei Zheng, after rushing back, he came directly to Li Qiu.

Repeatedly, as an uncle, he patted Li Qiu's arm with great pity, and patted his head.

"Good boy, good boy, it's really great that you are alive!"

"It's good to come back!"

In this city of Chang'an, Changsun Wuji is definitely the only person who has the deepest relationship with Li Qiu.

So Li Qiu also respectfully saluted the eldest grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji smiled gratifiedly, "Okay, okay, when I turn around, your kid will accompany me, let's have a few drinks."

After finishing speaking, he came to Quan Wanji angrily, cursing directly.

"Quan Wanji!"

"At the beginning, Zhang Yungu was impartial and selfless in the case of the king of Shu smashing Li Qiu's small restaurant. He spoke up for Li Qiu, and thus offended the king of Shu."

"And now, you take this opportunity to add insult to injury, take revenge for the king of Shu, and frame him, right?"

"As a royal envoy and supervisory officer, you have ulterior motives, use the public to seek personal gain, and confuse the Holy One. You are really shameful! Hateful! Damn it!"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's accusation, Quan Wanji naturally denied it.

"My lord grandson, don't you want to spout blood."

"As the imperial envoy, the words spoken by the lower official are true. That Zhang Yungu did have a personal relationship with Li Haode's younger brother."

"Even he admitted that."

"Now that the eldest grandson has slandered me so much, you have to come up with conclusive evidence, right?"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji's eyes burst into flames, and he sneered, "Hmph, I'll say that as soon as I guess."

"Your Majesty, I have already brought Li Haode here."

"Your Majesty, please announce it to us. As for whether it is madness or not, and whether it is true or not, it will be clear at a glance!"

Chapter 107 Demotion from the capital

Afterwards, that Li Haode was brought up by the guards.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that he is indeed a crazy and stupid person since childhood.

Seeing this, the anger in Li Shimin's heart was naturally indescribable.

Frowning and waving his hands, someone took Li Haode down again.

At this time, all eyes were on Quan Wanji, whose forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

"Oh, good!"

"Quan Wanji, you are really a good censor in Tang Dynasty!"

"Because of you, I almost killed a good official of Tang Dynasty unjustly!"

"I almost became the faint king recorded in the history books who killed important ministers indiscriminately!"

"You, and Li Ke behind you, have been taught many times, but you are stubborn and don't know how to repent!"

"I see, you stinky fish don't stay in Chang'an City and make trouble."

"It is my will that Li Ke, the king of Hanzhong County, pay homage to the governor of Qinzhou, take over the four prefectures of Qincheng, Weiwu and Wuzhou, reduce the closure of [-] households, and leave Beijing immediately."

"Also, demote Quan Wanji from the post of imperial envoy, and let him take up the post together with Li Yin, the king of Hanzhong County."

Qinzhou, located on the west side of the Great Wall, is even more difficult and remote than Jingzhou, an important defense line of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's move is definitely a heavy punishment for Li Ke.

As for his position as the governor of Qinzhou, it is already the lowest rank among the princes.

After all, these princes represent the imperial power and majesty of the royal family, and their official positions cannot be too low, right?

In fact, according to the ancestral system and rules, except for the crown prince, these princes will all leave the capital and go to their respective fiefs when they reach adulthood.

But Li Shimin is too affectionate and fraternal for these children.

I'm always afraid that they will suffer when they go out, so it's better to stay in Chang'an and enjoy the comfort and happiness by their parents' side.

But it was precisely because of his character and behavior that the princes struggled for power in the future, and several tragedies of Yi Chu happened.

After dealing with Quan Wanji, Li Shimin personally helped Zhang Yungu up on the ground.

"Yungu, get up."

"It was I who blamed you by mistake and almost killed you by mistake!"

"However, if you look at the people in Chang'an City and Li Qiu and all the important officials pleading for you, this is the greatest affirmation of your position as an official."

At this moment, Zhang Yungu was also very grateful in his heart, and saluted Li Shimin and everyone around him again and again.

He also said that His Majesty's fault was not his Majesty's fault, but that the minister did not consider the matter carefully and failed to avoid suspicion in accordance with the law when trying this case.

Even if His Majesty kills the minister, the minister has no complaints in his heart.

At this time, Li Shimin sighed, "It's lucky that Zhang Yungu was rescued by Li Qiu."

"But this matter must be used as a lesson for the past, and it must not be committed again."

"In my opinion, it's time to change the law about the death penalty."

"In the future, all judgments related to the death penalty will be executed immediately, even if I personally order it."

"The Ministry of Punishments, Dali Temple, and related officials must repeat the performance twice the day before the summary execution, and repeat the performance three times on the day of the execution."

"Death penalty cases must be reviewed five times within two days before they can be actually executed, and a quintuple system is adopted."

"There will never be similar unjust killings or wrongful killings happening again!"

Hearing Li Shimin's decision, all the important officials present saluted and praised, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The replay of the death penalty ordered by Li Shimin is a bit similar to the death penalty review of later generations. It can be said that Li Shimin set a precedent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the ancestor of the death penalty review system.

This is why many laws formulated during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty have been used in many subsequent dynasties, and it is also one of the reasons why they have played an extremely important role in the long history of China.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, with the joint efforts of Li Shimin and a group of able and capable officials, the contributions made to the development history of China were incomparably huge.

Afterwards, Li Shimin turned his attention to Zheng Guang and those martial arts soldiers who were kneeling on the ground.

Then he sighed, "Zheng Guang, but he was charged with ineffective command of the army, so he was transferred to the imperial army Zuo Weiyi as a general in the mansion."

"Shenwu Army, temporarily under Qin Qiong's management."

"Today's mutiny of the Shenwu Army has a reason and is justifiable, so we will not pursue it for the time being."

"But whoever dares to do it next time will definitely be punished!"

"It's getting late today, let's discuss the remaining matters tomorrow."

Seeing that the major incidents here have been dealt with, the group of people who care about Li Qiu have already surrounded him.

Ask about Li Qiu's situation that day, and how did he survive the chaotic army formation?

Li Qiu scratched his head at this moment, and said the remarks he had prepared in advance.

"At that time, I thought I was going to die."

"However, as long as Jieli is severely injured and the Turkic army's morale is dispersed, the danger of Chang'an can be resolved."

"Even if I die, I can rest in peace. It's worth it."

"But I didn't expect that at that time, my junior sister who had just come down the mountain appeared in time and rescued me."

"Later, the two of us jumped into the Wei River, and we came back with half our lives."

"No, I came back in a hurry just after the injury on my body recovered."

After hearing his words, everyone suddenly realized, "Junior Sister?"

"You still have a junior sister?"

"But think about it, if you don't have a famous teacher to teach you, how can you be where you are now?"

"Also, Li Qiu, I don't know who your master is. If he can be used by my Tang Dynasty, it will be really amazing!"

Hearing this, even Li Shimin was surprised, and was very eager to know about Li Qiu's mentor.

At this time, Li Qiu confessed to everyone, "My teacher is always quiet, and his whereabouts are elusive."

"There are only me and my junior sister in our teacher's school. Now that my junior sister has also graduated from the teacher, even we can't find the master and his old man."

Everyone including Li Shimin nodded repeatedly, "Li Qiu, where is your junior sister?"

"I'd like to see you."

Not only Li Shimin, but also other people showed curiosity.

Immediately, under Li Qiu's mind, in a shadow not far from them, A Ke, dressed in ordinary peasant women's clothes, showed her figure.

He bowed to the crowd from a distance.

Because A Ke's original tight-fitting black leather jacket was too eye-catching and weird, Li Qiu asked her to change it up.

But even if she was wearing the most common clothes, she couldn't hide her cold face and temperament.

As for the linkage of mind and heart, this was also discovered by Li Qiu when he was injured.

Basically, if you want A Ke to appear, or do something, A Ke can directly feel it.

That's why when the two of them are together, they don't talk much.

Because you can't use it.

This is also a feature of the system's summoning generals function.

As for whether there are other special aspects, Li Qiu does not know for the time being.

At this time, Li Qiu also explained to Li Shimin and others, "Your Majesty, my lords, my junior sister grew up deep in the mountains, she is naturally introverted, reticent, and doesn't know many etiquettes in the world."

"If there is any offense, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Chapter 108 Three Stars Exploding, Excessive System Rewards

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Li Shimin smiled and waved his hands.

"She is a little girl, it is inevitable that she will be nervous when she sees so many strangers."

"What's more, she saved your life, and it's too late for me to thank her, so how can I blame her?"
