Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 63 Hard Steel
"Gao Shilian, you did a good job!" Seeing Gao Shilian coming in, Li Shimin roared angrily, and threw the memorial to his feet.

Gao Shilian was taken aback, he didn't dare to put on his veteran airs, and quickly bowed and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a crime. I failed to deal with Dongying's envoy to the Tang Dynasty in a timely manner according to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. I really deserve death. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

"You deserve ten thousand deaths, so you know that you deserve ten thousand deaths!" Li Shimin yelled sharply: "Being tortured by you like this, the hearts of the people of Tang Dynasty have been tossed away by you. Now that I punish you, you will know how to solve this matter." Is something wrong?"

Gao Shilian's body trembled, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his eyes, Li Shimin looked straight, and felt even more disappointed, so he didn't ask him to get up, turned around and sat in the dragon chair, and asked a leisurely question.

"Gao Shilian, let me ask you, if I ask you to make up for your mistakes, how will you deal with the case of the Lin couple?"

Gao Shilian heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Lin is dead and Lin's family has been humiliated. He should order Dongying to send Tang Dynasty missions with three hundred guan to compensate Lin and his family for their losses."

After Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji heard the words, they both expressed that such handling was very appropriate, but Li Shimin lowered his eyes and did not give any opinion.

Seeing this, Gao Shilian knew that Li Shimin was not satisfied with his answer, and felt a little flustered, so he racked his brains for a while, and then continued.

"As for the several envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty who committed crimes, I believe that they should be taken to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion immediately. According to the laws of our Tang Dynasty, they will be imprisoned for five years, and then they will be expelled from the territory of the Tang Dynasty after being reprimanded, and they will never be allowed to enter the territory of our Tang Dynasty. "

[Hahaha... You stupid Gao Shilian, I admire you and give you a thumbs up. Killing people will be imprisoned for five years. This is the law of the Tang Dynasty! 】

[If the laws of the Tang Dynasty are like this, I am not the crown prince, and I will join the Wa Kingdom tomorrow, and then kill your whole family, and I will recognize Laozi for 100 years! 】

[No, it’s not enough to kill your whole family. As long as I don’t like it, I’ll kill one every day. Anyway, before I’m caught, I’ll kill one or two every day. Anyway, a person’s life is only locked for five years. ! 】

【Fuck, ordinary people beheaded directly at Caishikou when they kill people. How can foreigners be given such preferential treatment? Why the hell did you find out the law of the Tang Dynasty, I ate it now! 】

Li Fu couldn't help but started complaining again, and even started to curse Gao Shilian, an old man.

Li Shimin didn't think there was any problem. It was true that what Gao Shilian said was too stupid. Such a punishment was simply trampling on Datang's face, and he couldn't stand it.

Li Shimin got up abruptly, and stared at Gao Shilian, "Gao Shilian, tell me, which one of the laws of the Tang Dynasty said that if a foreigner kills someone in the Tang Dynasty, he only needs to be imprisoned for five years before he can be sent back to his country." ?”

Gao Shilian's face tightened. The laws of the Tang Dynasty did not provide preferential treatment to foreigners at all. What he said just now was just a matter of habit.

Gao Shilian, as the head of the Honglu Temple, dealt with foreigners on weekdays, in order to build a good relationship with them, that's what he did. After all, the unspoken rules in the officialdom were similar.

In this way, it will be more convenient for him when he finds a foreigner to do business again.

Gao Shilian originally thought that Li Shimin could understand his painstaking efforts when he said it so cryptically, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would hold on to this point, which made Gao Shilian feel like he was throwing a stone at his foot.

Changsun Wuji saw Gao Shilian's perplexed face, and hurried forward to make a rescue, "Your Majesty, Dongying sent the Tang envoy, after all, he is a guest from a foreign country. As the master, we shouldn't be so strict with the guests, right?"

"Besides, the person is already dead. He is just an ordinary citizen, and he was killed by mistake. I will pay three hundred gu to the family and let it be settled. This can be regarded as an explanation for both parties!"

[My motherfucker, Changsun Yinren actually has the potential to be a traitor. 】

[Oh, I forgot, Changsun Wuji never regarded himself as a Han Chinese at all, yes, he is a barbarian! 】

[Those who are not of my race must have a different heart, the eldest grandson Wuji of the grass, I want to become a Japanese citizen, so I will chop you up now! 】

Li Fu cursed furiously in his heart, Li Shimin was furious after hearing Changsun Wuji's words, he grabbed the Four Treasures of the Study in front of him, and threw it at Changsun Wuji with his head covered.

"Changsun Wuji, your sage books have been read into the dog's stomach. As a servant of the Tang Dynasty, you actually speak for those Dongying dogs. What is your intention?"

"Just an ordinary person, that's not life. If it's your son who killed you, and your daughter who insulted you, will you still talk to me like this?"

"Give me an explanation for both parties. What explanation do I want to give Dongying? The one who wants to give an explanation is Dongying!"

At the end of Li Shimin's speech, he was almost hoarse, and his roaring voice almost shook the beams of the imperial study room.

Changsun Wuji was frightened half to death, and quickly fell to his knees, and Fang Xuanling did the same, not even daring to vent his breath, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study instantly froze to freezing point.

Only then did Gao Shilian come to his senses, and hurriedly made amends, "Your Majesty, I have been convicted, and I believe that the three envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty should be beheaded immediately as a warning to others!"

"From ancient times to the present, murder pays for life, this is the iron law!" Li Shimin's face flashed an abnormal blush, "The laws of the Tang Dynasty have always been fair and just. How do the people of the Tang Dynasty abide by the laws? How to abide by it!"

"Gao Shilian, as the head of the Honglu Temple, I have always had high expectations of you, thinking that you are mature and prudent, and can establish my Great Tang Tianwei in front of foreigners, but now you really let me down. !"

Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with Gao Shilian, and his words were never harsher than before.

Gao Shilian is also an old man who is almost 70 years old now. He was scared to death by Li Shimin just now, and now he is singled out by Li Shimin in public, saying that he has insulted the state. This is a great shame for Gao Shilian who has been an official for decades!
He also needs face, and he is still Li Shimin's elder, and it is the first time that he is reprimanded by his younger generation, even if he is facing His Majesty the Emperor of Tang!
Gao Shilian immediately cupped his hands, poked his neck, and said with a blushing face, "Your Majesty, Honglu Temple, the old minister is determined and powerless to take care of it."

"It was His Majesty who said on that day that it is necessary to create a grand occasion for all nations to come to court, so the old minister tried his best to win over those foreigners, but His Majesty actually said that the old minister humiliated the country's system. If this is the case, please ask your Majesty to hire another wise man!"

Gao Shilian talked about each old minister, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with Li Shimin. At the end, he actually said that he would put down the pick, and the faces of everyone present suddenly changed...
