Chapter 1441 King Jin solves the case (Part 1)


Chapter 1441 King Jin solves the case (Part 1)

In the Tang Dynasty, people were never punished for their words. From the imperial court bosses to the censors and officials to the common people, they all praised and criticized the current government as they wished without any scruples.

As long as you don’t mention His Majesty Li Er’s dark history by name, no one will pay attention to even the insinuations...

However there are always exceptions.

Since the morning, the reconnaissance teams of the "Hundred Cavalry Division" and the repressive police patrols from Chang'an and Wannian counties have been dispatched. The grates generally swept through teahouses, wine shops, markets and other places where people gathered in Chang'an City. I sorted it out, Countless people were arrested and imprisoned, and the entire city of Chang'an was in panic. People knew what had happened, and they returned home to avoid unnecessary disasters. No one went out unless necessary. The bustling and bustling streets in the past were suddenly deserted and as quiet as a ghost.

It was not until evening that some of the previously arrested people were released and returned home from the yamen. Only then did the people learn the reason for the government's violent war today.

It was actually because of spreading rumors about Princess Changle and Fang Erlang...

The people were a little angry.

Everyone's favorite thing is to talk about the rare things about the princes, grandsons, and wealthy nobles after dinner. They envy, despise, and tease them. Sometimes they applaud Fang Erlang for punching King Qi, and sometimes they are about to be defeated by the army. The Western Regions applauded loudly, sometimes filled with indignation over a conflict on the Tibetan border...

Once upon a time, you were not even allowed to speak?

The people felt angry and aggrieved, but they could only express their dissatisfaction by cursing twice behind closed doors, but the censors did not care about this.

Don't let anyone talk?

Is it illegal to say the wrong thing?

It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

The profession of the censors is to be trolls. They will troll whoever they catch. They will be rewarded if they are right, but they will not be punished if they are wrong. They monitor all officials with their opinions.

Although the government did not punish the people in custody for their words, the censors and officials couldn't help it. Today it is the common people who spread rumors. Who knows if it will be their turn tomorrow, the censors who speak unabashedly? Now I suddenly don’t dare to speak casually. Isn’t this equivalent to putting the censor’s official profession out of work collectively?

As a result, in just one afternoon, countless memorials flew into the political hall like snowflakes, and baskets were piled on the desks of the prime ministers and ministers. The entire palace was filled with panic.

Chang'an County Government.

King Li Zhi of the Jin Dynasty led the "Hundred Cavalry Division" to occupy the Magpie Nest, pushed aside the county magistrate Li Yifu, and occupied the main position in a grand manner. Orders were issued from this center. Countless "Hundred Cavalry", Yamen servants, and patrolmen were here. A large net was woven in the city, and one after another "criminals" were brought to the Yamen, detained first, and then separated and interrogated one by one.

Li Junxian sat aside and watched with cold eyes. Looking at Jin Wang Li Zhi, who was sitting calmly behind the desk, with his handsome face filled with emotions such as confidence, excitement, nervousness, etc., he not only praised in his heart: Your Majesty's sons are indeed among the best in everyone. Dragon and Phoenix!

For the first time as a commander, he was able to order more than a thousand people including "Hundred Cavalry", Yamen servants, patrolmen, etc. in an orderly and hierarchical manner. This is not just the word "talent" that can highlight its value. This requires more Lots of talent.

"Talent" can be improved through acquired efforts, but "talent" is innate. Even if others are envious, jealous and hateful, they can only look at it with jealousy and do nothing...

However, Li Junxian's heart was full of worries. It was a good thing for a son to be outstanding. Your Majesty would have a successor. Everyone would be happy if the Tang Dynasty could have a perfect and outstanding leader. But it is definitely not a blessing to have so many sons each showing super abilities...

The prince is gentle and virtuous, the king of Wei is sharp and intelligent, the king of Wu is brave and courageous, the king of Jin is young and mature...

The most important thing is that His Majesty has long had the intention of changing the throne. Once the crown prince is really deposed, you can imagine what kind of fight the remaining princes and highnesses will have for the throne, and brothers will look at each other!

Li Junxian was only afraid that he would be involved in the turmoil of fighting for the heirloom. With his small body and no background, he was afraid that he would suffer disaster if he was just a splash. Therefore, despite the repeated temptations of King Jin, Li Junxian kept it secret and never expressed his position.

His allegiance is only to His Majesty Li Er, and he doesn't care much about the position of crown prince. Your Majesty, the dragon and tiger are at their peak in spring and autumn, and can still sit still for at least twenty or thirty years. Why do you think so much about the future...

As noon passed, the sky gradually became gloomier, and the dark clouds gradually gathered and pressed down on the top of the entire city from high to low, making people breathless.

Soon, as a breeze blew by, big raindrops poured down...

It rained heavily and the wind blew violently, but the arrests still did not stop.

Chang'an City is divided from east to west by Zhuque Street, with Wannian County to the east and Chang'an County to the west.

The East City was mostly the residences of high-ranking officials and nobles, and it gradually became a gathering place for officials. People who came and went were either rich or distinguished. Xicheng, on the other hand, is home to more ordinary people and merchants, with a mixed population of Han and Hu people. Relatively speaking, the public security is much more chaotic. It is the place where rumors are created and spread.

Li Yifu has been sweating ever since Prince Jin entered the house and pushed him aside. The sweat stains on his forehead were no less than the heavy rain outside the house, and his heart was even more frightened. Although he felt that he was honest and honest and had no corruption or bending the law, how could he not be anxious when he saw dozens of hundreds of common people, merchants, knights, and barbarians being arrested and taken into the Yamen one after another?

These are all the residents under his rule. Once someone commits an offense and alarms His Royal Highness the Prince, or even His Majesty the Emperor, he, the county magistrate, will be jointly and severally liable!

He is about to take office in the fall. Thanks to the prosperity of Chang'an's business in the past two years, residents are living and working in peace and contentment, and the crime rate is lower than before. "Excellent" can't escape. If we operate it in private, It is not impossible to either be sent to another place to serve as a liaison officer in Shangzhou, or to serve as a Shaoqing in various prefectures in Jingzhao, Taiyuan, and Henan. It is not impossible to even stay in the capital and enter the yamen of Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple, Dali Temple, etc. to become a Shaoqing. ...The road to Qingyun is right before our eyes, and we are about to ride on the wind and soar upward!

But now, it is possible that everything is in vain...

Of course, if we can take the opportunity to get close to His Highness King Jin, we will not only be able to avoid possible disasters, but we can also become King Jin's team. Now the news that Zhao Guogong's eldest son Wuji is getting closer and closer to His Royal Highness the King of Jin has already spread a lot. With Changsun Wuji's strong support, it is not a foolish dream for the King of Jin to join the fight for the heir apparent.

Will this unreasonable disaster make him irrecoverable?

Is it possible to get close to King Jin and become his teammate?

Li Yifu's heart was in chaos. Even though he had always been resourceful, he felt helpless at this moment. No matter which direction things went, it was definitely not something he, a small county magistrate, could decide. He was not even qualified to intervene.

When someone was arrested and brought into the yamen, Li Yifu's eyes twitched wildly and he prayed to God and Buddha to protect this man from committing any crime or committing deception. However, he himself knew how absurd this ridiculous mentality was. Since His Majesty, the majestic prince, brought the most trusted "Hundred Cavalry" around the emperor to handle the case, how could it be unreasonable?

So while Li Yifu was anxious and worried about gains and losses, the thing he least wanted to see happened happened...

"Your Highness, someone is recruiting!"

An official from the Jin Palace was in charge of interrogating the case along with "Baiqi". At this moment, he ran in excitedly and said loudly, ignoring the rain that had soaked his clothes, and was passing water on the ground...


Li Yifu's heart tightened.

He keenly heard that the palace official used the word "recruit". Does that mean that His Highness Prince Jin's action this time was to solve a major case?

If that was the case, why did the emperor send such a young Prince Jin to supervise the case?

Does that mean... His Majesty is training Prince Jin?

Since it is training, doesn’t it mean...

Li Zhi stood up suddenly, with a smile on his face that could not suppress the surprise: "Seriously?"

The official said respectfully: "How dare you, young man, to deceive His Highness? It's really a trick."

Li Zhi couldn't suppress his excitement and immediately stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, he thought of Li Junxian beside him. It's no wonder that he almost forgot about the big leader of "Hundred Cavalry Division". In fact, ever since he showed his intention to recruit, Li Junxian has been silent. I have no intention of taking refuge in him, the fledgling King of Jin.

Fortunately, this general whom His Majesty trusted very much and who controlled the powerful force of "Hundred Cavalry Division" was not from the prince's brother's side. Li Zhi just let nature take its course, thinking that it would not be too late to recruit him when he became stronger in the future.

He smiled at Li Junxian and said, "General Li, are you going to take a look with me?"

Li Junxian shook his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty's military order to the general is to assist His Highness in running errands. If you have anything to do, His Highness only needs to give instructions. As for interrogating confessions and the like, it is really unnecessary."

Just kidding, even a fool can see that this young highness has bad intentions. He might be trying to trick someone. How could he just jump in?

For Li Junxian, who is extremely utilitarian, there is no way to hide...

Li Zhi didn't look too disappointed. He smiled and turned to leave.

Li Yifu, who had always been a transparent person on the side, showed his flattering nature at this moment. He took out an umbrella from the cabinet in the corner, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "It's raining heavily outside. Your Highness's body is not yet mature enough to withstand the cold and wet. No, Please let me hold the umbrella for His Highness.”

Li Zhi paused and looked at Li Yifu. Naturally, he had heard about this Chang'an County Magistrate, who had become very famous in Chang'an official circles in the past year, but...

"I heard that County Magistrate Li has been working under Fang Shilang?"

This is one of Fang Jun's capable people. He has done a lot of things for Fang Jun. He is obviously not in the same camp as himself...

But you smile so flatteringly, what's your intention? (End of chapter)
