Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Chapter 406 A bloody head on the neck

Du Ruhui's words kept coming back to his mind, and the scenes at that time seemed to be still in front of his eyes.

Li Qiu was shaking his head and sighing in his heart at the moment: "Oh, Master Du!"

"You have acted righteously in this life, and you have done well, and the credit lies in the community."

"You are indeed not afraid of those young people."

"But you can't stand their anger!"

"That day in the Da'an Palace, Master Du, you stood up for me and reprimanded the censor Chen Shihe."

"That's why this villain holds a grudge and was slandered by him."

"It's all because of me."

"I, Li Qiu, I'm sorry, Master Du..."

At this moment, Li Qiu's heart felt so sad for Du Ruhui's illness, so much did he hate that villain Chen Shihe.

At the same time, Ake, who has always been connected with him, has already brought the two sharp blades of Lingxi and Yongye, and left the Furong Garden quietly.

Go straight to the Lingnan area where Chen Shihe was exiled.

……

Next, it was Du Ruhui's funeral.

When Du Ruhui, a virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty passed away, almost the entire city of Chang'an was in mourning.

And Li Shimin was even more mournful and did not go to court for three days.

Only the decree was handed down, and Du Ruhui was named Sikong posthumously, and Princess Chengyang was betrothed to Du Ruhui's second son Du He.

To show the emperor's favor.

It was the day when Du Ruhui's body was buried for seven days and was about to be buried.

Li Shimin, together with those ministers who were close friends with Du Ruhui, came here again to see him off for the last time.

Just when it was Li Qiu's turn to enter the mourning hall to worship, suddenly a package was shot by a bow and arrow, and fell out of thin air in the courtyard, at Li Qiu's feet.

At this time, everyone around and the guards of the palace were so frightened that their scalps became numb.

They hurriedly protected Li Shimin one after another.

But looking at Li Qiu again, there was no surprise or surprise at all.

Instead, he opened the package directly, and there was a bloody human head inside.

Everyone in the courtyard saw that the head was none other than Chen Shihe, the censor who slandered and angered Du Ruhui to death!

"Chen Shihe?!"

"How could it be Chen Shihe?"

"Isn't he dispatched to Qinling?"

After seeing such a scene, there was an uproar among the people present, and there were many discussions.

And Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and others couldn't help stomping their feet and sighing.

Don't even think about it, this must be the work of that kid who never thinks it's a big deal, Li Qiu!

After seeing this Chen Shihe's head, Li Shimin remained expressionless, maintaining his palace as an emperor.

But in my heart, in the sadness of having just lost my right hand and right arm, the minister of the humerus of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin had only one thought in his mind: This Chen Shihe died well!

If it wasn't for other reasons, Li Shimin would have wished to execute Chen Shihe Ling Chi!

Afterwards, when Li Qiu walked slowly into Du Ruhui's mourning hall with Chen Shihe's head in his hands, there were Du Ruhui's family members in the mourning hall.

Naturally, she turned pale with shock.

But soon, they realized that the owner of this head was the one who killed their father and husband, Chen Shihe?

In an instant, mournful cries came from the mourning hall again.

And Li Qiu also placed that human head in front of Du Ruhui's spirit seat.

"Lord Du, Li Qiu is here to see you off for the last time."

"I know Mrs. Du, you have hated evil all your life, and I am afraid that even before you leave, you will still have a bad breath in your heart."

"Now, you have avenged your vengeance, and you can go on the road with peace of mind."

"From now on, on every festival day, I will accompany you to drink a pot of your favorite Sirius..."

Li Qiu's words were full of sincere thoughts and condolences for Du Ruhui.

Hearing this makes people feel even more sad.

At this moment, Du Ruhui's wife brought Du Gou and Du He's two sons, as well as the Du family's family.

In an instant, she shed tears and knelt down to Li Qiu.

"The Du family/Du Gou/Du He, never forget the kindness of the prince!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this Chen Shihe was written by Li Qiu.

Li Qiu also avenged Du Ruhui and the Du family, and vented his last breath of anger.

However, there are some things that cannot be said.

They can only keep this kindness firmly in their minds.

For this reason, Li Qiu took too much risk in it.

【Ding!The host disobeyed the government's decree and killed Chen Shihe.Reward 1 energy crystal.There are currently 3 energy crystals stored in the host system mall, and the system points are 700...]

Just as Li Qiu held Chen Shihe's head to pay homage to Du Ruhui, the system's notification tone also sounded.

……

Soon, Chen Shihe's head appeared in Du Ruhui's mourning hall, and the news quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

For those common people, it is naturally very satisfying.

In the Tang Dynasty, especially the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period, the common people had the most distinct love and hate.

Such a case where my virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty was killed by a villain, it simply made all the people in Chang'an City gnash their teeth with hatred.

Now that the treacherous villain has received retribution, and Prime Minister Du's spirit in heaven can be comforted, it is naturally very pleasing to the hearts of the people.

But for those gentry courtiers, censors in the court, and officials, this incident is absolutely intolerable.

Since Chen Shihe, the censor, had already been sentenced and punished accordingly, how could he be assassinated again?

This kind of thing is absolutely intolerable to them.

So in the court hall the next day, these ministers once again played the book one after another.

He condemned Li Qiu fiercely, killed Chen Shihe, and begged His Majesty to punish him severely!

Hearing their words, Li Shimin was furious immediately, and slapped the dragon heavily.

"presumptuous!"

"Do you know what crime it is to frame an important official of the court, the King of Tang Dynasty?!"

"Peking King Li Qiu has been helping with the funeral in Chang'an City recently, can't you all see it?!"

At this time, Dai Zhou, the prime minister of Dali Temple, bowed and came out, "Your Majesty, before there is any conclusive evidence, the memorials of the courtiers are indeed false accusations."

"However, Chen Shihe's case has a very bad influence in the court. I beseech Your Majesty to hand over this case to Dali Temple for trial."

"I believe that this case will be found out and the king of Peking, Li Qiu, will be given justice."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

Chapter 407 Are You Dare Or I Dare?

This Dai Zhou is a well-known expert in handling cases.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zhenguan period had been in a war stage of external expansion and the people's lives were difficult, there would have been no major incidents in the country.

Otherwise, part of Di Renjie's prestige would go to Dai Zhoucai.

Now seeing that Dai Zhou was about to take over Chen Shihe's case, Li Shimin, who had always been looking towards Li Qiu in his heart, naturally frowned slightly.

No matter whether Dai Zhou can find out anything at that time, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Li Qiu and Furongyuan.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, who has always been the most able to understand the holy will, came out in time.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Chen Shihe's case should be investigated."

"It's just that Chen Shihe has been demoted to a commoner, so it's not appropriate to hand it over to Dali Temple for investigation."

"There are areas in the Qinling Mountains that are under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Mansion."

"The old minister suggested that it is enough to hand over the case to the Jingzhao Mansion for trial."

Upon hearing this, Dai Zhou and other officials couldn't help but frown, they really didn't understand.

This eldest grandson Wuji can be said to be the son of the Guanlong aristocratic group, worthy of the name.

Why are you talking to that Li Qiu everywhere? !

Before this, there have been too many such examples!

At this time, after hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel at ease.

"Well, what the auxiliary machine said is very true."

"Then hand over Chen Shihe's case to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate and deal with it!"

Subsequently, the imperial court also announced a series of rewards for the heroes who resisted the Turks this time.

Among them, Li Qiu, who made the first contribution, also received the biggest reward.

"Li Qiu, King of Beiping, awarded honors to Shangzhu State, rewarded the fiefdoms of eight states including Xingzhou, Beizhou, Mingzhou, Bozhou, Yizhou, Xiangzhou, Qingzhou, and Zizhou, and supervised the military and political affairs of these eight states..."

Officials in the Tang Dynasty were divided into service officers, casual ranks, honorary officers, and titles.

A person can hold these several official positions at the same time.

As the name suggests, a ministerial officer refers to the work he does, his position, powers and responsibilities, and tasks. For example, Qin Qiong can be the chief of the horse army, or other officials such as the governor.

This official is often changed, each campaign will be different, this official does not represent his status.

Sanjie is called Sanwei, Benpin or Benjie, and Sanjie determines the status and salary of officials.

Civil and military officials all have scattered positions and ranks, which follow others and remain unchanged no matter what they do.

Since official positions and ranks are different, it is very common for officials to have high positions and small positions, and for officials to have small positions, or even to have officials without positions.

Title, it is a special reward for meritorious persons, expressing the emperor's love and favor for him, with a fixed salary, which can be hereditary.

No matter how big the official is, no matter how high the rank is, he may not have a title, and a person with a title may not necessarily have an official position and rank.

Shangzhu Kingdom is a rank of honor, which is a special commendation for those who have made meritorious service in combat.

Now that soldiers or generals in the army have made meritorious service, they can be awarded first-class to third-class merit and so on.

It is the same in ancient times, but the name is different.

The ranks of the honors of the Tang Dynasty are divided into twelve grades, the highest rank is Shangzhu Kingdom, followed by Zhu Kingdom,

All kinds of honors can be obtained from soldiers to generals, and meritorious service is not divided into ranks, it only depends on your performance and contribution in battle.

Those who have won the honor of Shangzhu, no matter how big their official positions are, can enjoy the treatment of the second rank.

Now Li Qiu has obtained the honor of Shangzhu Kingdom, which is already the highest honor, reaching the top.

As for the enfeoffments of eight states including Xingzhou, Beizhou, Mingzhou, Bozhou, Yizhou, Xiangzhou, Qingzhou, and Zizhou.

That is even more remarkable.

If you add the previous thirteen prefectures including Youzhou, Li Qiu is now a fief of 21 prefectures.

The entire northeastern part of Datang's current territory is already owned by Li Qiu.

The most important point is that Li Qiu is also in charge of the military and political affairs of all these states.
