I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

In the East Palace.

Li Shimin called Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui over, but did not call Wei Zheng—no matter what point of view, Wei Zheng is not his confidant, and it is impossible to become his confidant.

"Let's have a look." Li Shimin threw the list on the table and sneered, "This is my good subject."

The two of them picked up the paper and put their heads together.

View from top to bottom.

First of all, civilians, traffickers, women from brothels, and kid from gambling houses, they accounted for the vast majority of the list, but there were a small number of names in the back, which made them feel terrified.

They are all familiar names.

Among them, the one with the highest official position is an official from the fourth rank. He has a long history of meritorious service in the court, and Fang Xuanling even recommended this person.

"Your Majesty, are you sure?" Du Ruhui took a deep breath, and his expression was not so good.

Li Shimin waved his hand: "This is from Zhou County Wei."

Zhou Xianwei, Zhou Xiaosan, a warrior.In their eyes, this is a person at the bottom of the entire court food chain.

Maybe other people on the list, those common people and lowly people, Zhou Xiaosan will take revenge and write down some of his enemies.

But those officials are unlikely.

Leaving aside the grassroots officials who are at the same rank as Zhou Xiaosan, the officials of the sixth rank and above can easily determine Zhou Xiaosan's future fate even if one is pulled out.

And
Zhou Xiaosan also had Yin Xuan on his head. If some people wanted to, Yin Xuan might still be able to touch him, but Yin Xuan didn't want to. He was lying in the restaurant like a salted fish.

How could Zhou Xiaosan know and write down the names of people Yin Xuan had never met before.

If Zhou Xiaosan had defected to someone else, the above list was a factional struggle, and someone wanted to use someone else's hand to get rid of someone.It's not realistic either.

Li Shimin has a high control over the court and has no factions.

It cannot be said that there are no such factions, but the factions in the Great Tang Dynasty Hall are somewhat unusual.
The general factions revolve around the throne and the next candidate for the throne.But now the crown prince was erected by Li Shimin early, and Li Tai was still young. As for the other sons, if they are not legitimate sons, they still want to contaminate the throne?

With such a special situation in the Tang Dynasty, the bastard was destined to miss the throne.

So... the factional struggles surrounding the crown prince can't get going.

And because of Li Shimin.

As a result, the current factions in the court are actually the King of Qin faction headed by Li Shimin, the old emperor and Li Yuan faction headed by Tang Jian, and the prince faction headed by Wei Zheng with Wei Zheng alone—the prince of Li Jiancheng , not Li Chengqian's prince.

This is also the fundamental reason why Wei Zheng was able to fight against the sky in the court, Li Shimin would not touch him, and Li Yuan's old officials did not dare to touch him.

on this list.

Some belong to Li Shimin's faction, but there are also Li Yuan's former ministers.Some were close to Li Chengqian, and some were more willing to associate with Li Tai.

In short, it is a hodgepodge.

Unless Zhou Xiaosan's purpose was to bring the imperial court to his knees, he wouldn't have written such a disorderly list.

Trustworthiness is high.

Of course, high credibility is high, and verification still needs to be verified.

When Li Shimin threw this to them, it didn't mean that Li Shimin believed it completely. If he believed it and verified it, it should be thrown out in the court.

The reason why this thing was brought out on a private and semi-official occasion was to ask them, what should they do if the contents on this list are all true?
Arrested for treason and killed?
It is possible, but if it is not necessary to do so, Li Shimin will never choose this method.

Of course Li Shimin is not afraid of killing people, but these people are too mixed, there are common people, there are low-class people, there are poor families, there are families, if they all have the same surname, Li Shimin's butcher knife has already been raised.

"I think that Sun Fujia is honest and sincere. Although he is a former minister of the Sui Dynasty, he is credible and can be sent to investigate this case." Du Ruhui cupped his hands and opened his mouth to recommend someone.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

This person has never been very popular in the court, he is similar to Wei Zheng, but there are some differences.Sun Fujia can form a school of his own for the time being. He is a real Confucian student and only has "people" in his eyes.

He scolded Li Yuan and impeached Pei Ju, all because of the word "common people".

This person is indeed trustworthy, and there is no need to worry that he will bend the law for personal gain - after all, he has no friends.

Fang Xuanling thought for a while, then cupped his hands again: "I believe that Chang'an County Wei Zhou Xiaosan is talented, and has meritorious deeds in poor practice. He should be promoted to Dali Temple Chancellor to assist in solving the case."

Zhou Xiaosan is an extremely useful talent.

Under the premise that Yin Xuan does not set foot in the court, there is no need to worry about anything.

Li Shimin thought for a while, then nodded, but did not refute this proposal.

Dali Temple Chancellor, a sixth-rank official position—it can be said that he has stepped from the lower level to the middle level. For Zhou Xiaosan, it is indeed a step up to the sky.

Of course, such a large span is not without.

For example, Yang Zuan was promoted from the county magistrate of Chang'an to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but this is also related to Yang Zuan's personal resume.

If this list is true, then with the merits of this list, there is no problem for Zhou Xiaosan to be promoted to Dali Temple Chancellor.

If the follow-up is proved to be false, what Zhou Xiaosan will face will be the result of being killed. At that time, it doesn't matter whether Zhou Xiaosan is a county lieutenant or a Dali Temple magistrate.

Unless Li Shimin speaks, no one can protect him.

When the letter of appointment from Dali Temple fell in front of Zhou Xiaosan, his whole face was distorted—from the county captain to the governor of Dali Temple, this step made him feel a little pain in his crotch.

Feeling a bit pulled.

Amidst the envious looks of all the county captains and even the Chang'an county magistrate, Zhou Xiaosan went to the Tongfu restaurant, taking He Ri, who had just been promoted to county captain, by the way.

After Yin Xuan finished his work, Zhou Xiaosan invited Yin Xuan to the backyard and told Yin Xuan the news.

"Promoted again?" Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Xiaosan nodded, looking at Yin Xuan with gratitude, other than that, he couldn't believe it.

although
He asked his eldest sister about this matter, got the list, and then led to his promotion.But he knew that if there was no Yin Xuan, he might have died in prison if something like this happened.

He has experienced those people's ability to torture.

If Yin Xuan hadn't taught him the knowledge of reasoning, he wouldn't have gotten this opportunity to be promoted and to help with the case.

He is very clear about which is more important.

That's why he came here for the first time and branded himself Yin Xuan.
