Tang's dining table

After Yun Chu listened to Yu Xiurong retelling to him the whole process of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, he said to Yu Xiurong: "God is helping Wu Mei."

Yu Xiurong said: "But she is already a queen, the most noble woman in the world."

Yun Chu smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, no one would think that Wu Mei had further ambitions, and no one would believe it, not even Li Zhi.

Speaking of which, everyone in the Li family has been very lucky since Li Yuan, at least when it comes to finding a wife.

Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was an out-and-out playboy in his early years. He was born into an aristocratic family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was granted the title of Duke of Tang when he was seven years old.

Because Empress Dugu, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was his aunt, his career flourished.

But the main reason why Li Yuan became the founding emperor of Li Tang was that he had three good sons, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji.

These sons were all born to Li Yuan's first wife, Queen Dou, who was also very unusual.

She is the daughter of Dou Yi, the governor of Dingzhou and the eldest princess of Xiangyang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When she was young, she was raised in the palace by her uncle Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty, who loved her very much.

She was praised by Emperor Wu of Zhou for admonishing Emperor Wu of Zhou to get close to the Turkish princess whom he married. He thought that although she was young, she had extraordinary insights. At that time, Changsun Chi, the elder brother of the famous general Changsun Sheng, believed that an outstanding woman like Dou would definitely be able to raise outstanding children, so he persuaded Changsun Sheng to marry the young Changsun to the Duke of Tang Dynasty.

After a rigorous "competition to recruit a bride", Li Yuan was finally "selected" and later became the future Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's wife Dou Shi married Li Yuan, and they fell in love with each other deeply.

Dou grew up in the palace, was familiar with politics, liked reading history books, and was good at calligraphy.

When the young couple had nothing to do, they would write and write in the study. Dou imitated her husband's handwriting, even to the point of imitating the real thing.

Li Yuan of the Dou family had four sons: Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, and Li Yuanji, and a daughter, Princess Pingyang, who married Chai Shao.

Because of these four sons and the first daughter in history to be buried with the ceremony of Marquis Wu, the scoundrel Li Yuan kicked off the glorious Tang Dynasty.

He has become an unparalleled model for the family.

Since the death of the Dou family, Li Yuan has started his own sex demon mode, but until his death, he only had one queen - Queen Taimu of the Dou family, who was buried in the same tomb after his death.

Fulfilled his wish to live in the same bed and die in the same cave.

When history came to Li Shimin again, when this guy was fifteen years old and his beard had not yet grown, he was dressed in red, holding a pair of wild geese, and married his younger sister Changsun.

In that era of blind marriage and mute marriage, how many people were as lucky as Li Shimin to know and meet their bride in advance and live like childhood sweethearts?

The young bride's eldest son, Sun, is only thirteen years old and is as childish as the young groom, Li Shimin.

Two and a half-year-old children are always very easy to get along with.

That was also the year when Li Shimin's mother passed away. When Li Shimin was serving soup and medicine, never leaving his side, and was sad late at night, it was this little bride who stayed with him.

It was also that year that the young bride’s uncle was exiled. Li Shimin comforted his little wife just as she had accompanied him in the past.

In just over ten years of life, it is inevitable to feel that this year is full of pain of separation, but you are each other's comfort.

When Li Shimin was eighteen years old, he followed his father to Taiyuan, and his sixteen-year-old Changsun went with him.

When Li Shimin decided to gamble with his destiny, the eldest grandson was by Li Shimin's side and firmly supported his husband in changing his destiny.

Li Shimin became the King of Qin at the age of nineteen. In just one year, he not only wanted to become an adult, but also a master.

This kind of rapid growth experience is rare in the world. He will inevitably make many mistakes and feel particularly confused. However, there is one person who can understand Li Shimin, and that is Changsun.

Because like Li Shimin, she was a seventeen-year-old girl who went from being the wife of the second son of Duke Tang to Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Zhao and finally Princess Qin. From managing a home, to managing a mansion, to the royal family. And she did not fall behind Li Shimin at all and grew up with him.

When Li Shimin was twenty years old, the eighteen-year-old Changsun gave birth to his first child, and they became parents for the first time together.

When Li Shimin was twenty-two years old, he was awarded the title of General Tiance, with great achievements. Changsun was only twenty years old. She was not only the mother of the child, but also managed the entire Qin Palace. She also helped her husband deal with the entire harem and became the lubricant of the relationship between Li Shimin and his father Li Yuan.

At the age of twenty-seven, Li Shimin brazenly launched the Xuanwumen Revolution.

She was twenty-five years old, and all the available people from her mother's family were mobilized. She herself stood by Li Shimin's side and became his most reliable backing.

When Yuchi Gong took three steps in a row to force the emperor to abdicate, Changsun entered the palace as a woman in armor immediately, bloodbathed the Tang emperor's harem, killed all those who were unfavorable to the new emperor, and cut off the harem from the outside world. The contact gave Li Shimin no worries.

Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor and began to manage the government. The Changsun family took charge of the harem, completely decentralized power, and never interfered with the affairs of the court again.

She also used her wife's unique tenderness to comfort Li Shimin when he was angry. Steady him when he loses control.

As long as the Changsun family is here, Li Shimin will be fine. He is the Tang Taizong who is good at accepting advice, modest and prudent, and at the same time brave and invincible.

The early death of the eldest grandson was probably the most tragic loss of the Tang Dynasty during that period. After she left, she still thought about this country before leaving.

Like Li Shimin, Changsun has great ambitions and a broad mind.

A confidant in life is enough to comfort Fengchen, and Li Shimin got it.

Zhong Ziqi could understand Yu Boya's harp. After his death, Boya lost his string. After the death of his eldest grandson, Li Shimin also died of love and became a completely ruthless emperor.

Changsun and Li Shimin are not only his wife, but also his partner, his comrade-in-arms, his lover, his relative, and his confidant.

Therefore, after Changsun passed away, Li Shimin gave her the highest and best evaluation a woman could receive - Queen Wende!

There is only one reason why Li Zhi insists on abolishing Queen Wang - that is, Queen Wang is not even a grass chicken in front of the dead Queen Dou and Queen Changsun.

This was the main reason why Li Zhi insisted on deposing Queen Wang, and it was also the reason why Li Zhi ignored moral integrity and the opposition of the whole court and would rather offend his uncle, the minister who cared about life, to marry Wu Mei.

He hopes that his love can be as successful as his grandfather and father, and he also hopes that his queen can give him the maximum help like his grandfather and father's queen.

Of course, he hopes that his queen and he are truly one, no matter on which level.

I have to say that at this point, Wu Mei is really Li Zhi's ideal queen. The only trouble is that Wu Mei used too much force.

The emperors of the Li Dynasty liked to pursue perfect love, and the story didn't end until Li Longji completely messed it up.

An emperor of Li Tang without a powerful queen cannot be considered a good emperor. This is a small consensus in the historical research of Li Tang.

Part of the reason why Li Longji encountered such a thing as Yuyang Jigu was because his queen was useless except for taking a bath and dancing the feather dance, and did not play a role in filling in the gaps.

After Yu Xiurong listened to Yun Chu's account of the love experiences of the first two emperors of Li Tang, she was very surprised. She took Yun Chu's hand and said, "Are women important?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's more important than you think."

"So you married me without even thinking because I'm a good wife?"

"You damn good wife. The first thing I coveted when I saw you was your beauty. When I see such a beautiful girl like you, who cares whether you can run a household or not."

Yu Xiurong rolled his eyes and said: "I thought you were just coveting my beauty. Grandma Sun said that entertaining people with sex won't last long. I read a lot of books and asked a lot about how to manage housework, and finally became like this. Perfect."

Yun Chu nodded repeatedly. Since this mother-in-law thinks so, then just think so. People, you can be happy for a while.

When Yun Chu was watching the excitement and preparing to watch Li Zhi's joke, a eunuch rode to Yun's house and said that the emperor had summoned him.

Although he didn't know what the emperor wanted from him, Yun Chu hurriedly rode into the imperial city.

When he met the emperor in the side hall of Taiji Hall, he found that there were many people in the side hall. One of the people who smiled obscenely at him turned out to be the famous bird thief Li Keshi who he had driven out of Chang'an.

In addition to this bird thief, there were also envoys from the Tang Dynasty Beast Control Prison and several Taoist priests in official uniforms from Si Tianjian.

Seeing these people here, Yun Chu knew immediately that the emperor called him here because of the beautiful bird worshiping the phoenix.

This matter has nothing to do with him at all. If the emperor wants to recreate the grand occasion of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, it is very suitable to find a bird thief. Although Li Keshi is also a powerful general in the Tang Dynasty, he is also Li Jing's biological brother. , but when it comes to playing with birds, no one in the world can match him.

This guy may not understand human nature, but he is very knowledgeable about birds. Whenever he goes out hunting, there will be a kite eagle standing on his left arm, and a huge purple-breasted parrot from Longxi standing on his right shoulder. Parrots also often spit out human words.

Today, this parrot stood obediently on the shoulder of Mr. Li, who is over eighty years old. When he saw Yunchu coming in, he immediately flapped his wings and shouted: "Yunchu is a dog thief, Yunchu is a dog thief..."

Yun Chu glanced at the parrot. The parrot immediately closed its mouth and pecked Keshi Li a few times on the head, pretending to be nonchalant.

People lose their value when they get old, especially former heroes like Li Keshi. After getting older and having no contribution to the new emperor, they have almost no room to speak in front of upstarts like Yun Chu.

Yunchu didn't let the parrot go just because it shut up. He raised his hand and picked the parrot from Master Li's shoulder and put it in his sleeve.

Li Zhi moved the giant bear's ears with peace of mind, pretending not to notice the little actions among the ministers, and said softly: "Tell me, what is going on when a hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix?"

On weekdays, it is naturally auspicious to see hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, and everyone will praise it for a while.

Now, the emperor doesn't really believe that this is auspiciousness, so this scene of hundreds of birds gathering is nothing more than a spectacle.

Li Keshi had always wanted to save his bird from Yun Chu's sleeve, but unfortunately, due to his old age and frailty and the fear in his heart, he did not dare to move forward. After hearing the emperor's question, he quickly said: "It's just... The birds are just gathering in groups to look for food.”

Li Zhi looked at the Taoist officials of Si Tianjian noncommittally and asked: "Why, what does the celestial phenomenon say?"

The Si Tianjian official quickly replied: "Ziwei Palace is fine, Tianfu Palace has not changed, (Queen's Palace is Tianfu Palace), only the North Pole has Yinghuo."

Li Zhi asked the officials of the Animal Control Supervisor: "Can we recreate the scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix?"

The official of the Animal Control Supervisor reported back: "In order to eliminate the insect plague in Chang'an and Wannian, the two counties have cut down all the trees in the two counties and plowed the land, leaving the insect eggs exposed in broad daylight with nowhere to hide.

Because there is abundant food, birds will naturally gather. There are many birds, but there are no extra trees to live in. It coincides with the lush trees in Qujiang Palace, and for thousands of years, the two counties of Chang'an have begun to burn grass and trees in the fields to remove insects, and birds naturally join in. Qujiang Palace.

I believe that as long as these conditions are met, it will not be difficult to recreate the scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix. "

Li Zhi looked at the Tai Chi Palace outside the window and said, "Can it happen again in the Tai Chi Palace?"

The officials of the Beast Control Supervisor said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, there is not a single tree in Taiji Palace like Wannian and Chang'an counties. Building nests to attract phoenixes is the key."

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu and asked, "You usually talk the most nonsense. Are you mute today?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Wei Chen doesn't know anything. Even if your Majesty gives you orders, Wei Chen will definitely do it properly."

Li Zhi snorted and said, "Do you want to say that the lush vegetation in the East Palace is a place for nesting and attracting phoenixes?"

When Yun Chu heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Weichen didn't say that."

Li Zhi sneered and said: "That's what you think. Since you all think so, then as you wish, recreate the scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix in the East Palace, so that I can tell those ignorant people that this is just It's just the common sense of heaven and earth, not some great auspiciousness.

Go do some errands. "

After saying that, he stood up and left, and the giant bear that was curled up at the emperor's feet also twisted and left.

Among the few people, Li Keshi had the highest title, but Yunchu had the highest grade. When everyone saw that the emperor was gone, they naturally had to choose a talker among these two people.

Li Keshi chuckled and said to everyone: "Since His Majesty has spoken, we as ministers just have to obey it.

Yunchu, you are still here for ten thousand years. The two counties of Chang'an are setting fires. The rest will follow my arrangements. "

The officials from the Sitian Prison and the Beast Control Prison all focused their attention on Yun Chu. They felt that it was more reliable to listen to Yun Chu, an official of the fifth rank.

But I heard that Yunchu saluted Master Li and said, "This is the best arrangement. I will arrange the fire in the fields right away."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Master Li shouted from behind: "Give me back my Longke."

Yun Chu turned around and glanced at Master Li with a sinister look and said, "Don't take advantage of it and don't know what's wrong. I'm too lazy to settle the debt with you for going back to Chang'an privately. Do you really think that a certain family is easy to bully?"

Li Keshi remembered the consequences of his confrontation with Yun Chu, and decisively shut his mouth. Just like Yun Chu said, as long as he completed the errands arranged by the emperor this time, he might be able to ask the emperor for help. Get back some lost land and benefits.

After Yun Chu came back, he summoned Wen Wen and Di Renjie to discuss Li Zhi's purpose of recreating the phenomenon of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix. After describing what happened, Wen Wen said in silence for a long time: "The queen has great power. Your Majesty is worried."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Your Majesty has begun to win over His Highness the Crown Prince. This is really strange."

Yunchu said with a smile: "The Changsun family recently tried to win over His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Highness rejected it. His Highness the Crown Prince famously said that he only has a family relationship with the Changsun family. The rest were at their peak during the Spring and Autumn Period of his father's reign. He was unwilling to participate and destroy them. The intimacy of heaven’s family.”

Wen Wen laughed and said: "Having a prince who knows how to be patient, restrained, and filial is a good thing for those of us who count on the prince. It is best if our prince can always maintain this kind of neither arrogance nor impatience. mentality.

Before the people of Li Yifu returned to Chang'an, Zou Shu had already arrived in Chang'an. He suggested that His Majesty, in order to get rid of the dominance of nobles, all officials of the fifth rank and above in the imperial court should be included as "officials".

His new interpretation of officials is that the duties of officials are to enter the officialdom to assist the court, govern the country, and be participants in national politics.

Officials and scholars below the fifth rank are collectively called scholars. That is to say, as long as they are people who have read books and have achieved certain achievements, they can become scholars.

This is the new strategy proposed by Li Yifu, a favor order aimed at noble nobles.

He wanted to reduce the power of the gentry class and improve the status and power of poor families by expanding the gentry class.

Obviously, this is a stop-gap measure that treats the symptoms but not the root cause, because the expanded gentry class accounted for too low a proportion among the common people of the Tang Dynasty. Just scholars are considered scholars. There are gentry in Chang'an County. With a population of 460,000, less than 30,000 can be counted as scholars.

This is a capital county like Chang'an. If it were extended to a remote county, it would be normal to have less than one per hundred.

In the past, only a handful of nobles received preferential treatment, and the common people could afford it. Now there are countless people from poor families. Once the court improves the treatment of these people, in less than twenty years, there will be a new one in the Tang Dynasty. class.

This will have little impact on the nobles. However, in the end, the burden caused by the preferential treatment received by these scholars will still fall on the common people. "

Di Renjie looked at Wen Wen and said, "Although this is a temporary measure, it is also the best choice at the moment. What if we don't do this?

Unless you have a way to make all the people in the Tang Dynasty become scholars, do you think this is possible? "

Neither Wen Wen nor Di Renjie wanted to talk about the emperor's family.

In the end, they turned the topic to Li Yifu, who was about to enter Beijing, and believed that this was the top priority.

Yun Chu was somewhat disappointed, because even Wen Wenwen and Di Renjie did not have any resistance when facing the emperor. They were only willing to check and balance the emperor within the scope allowed by the rules.

This is something that can't be helped. Until now, Li Zhi is still considered a very good emperor.

He is not extravagant and lustful, and he does not search for beauties all over the world to enjoy, nor does he spend national finances to travel around the world like Yang Guang. As long as there is a disaster in the local area, he will reasonably exempt the taxation of the disaster-stricken place, and he will also Arrange for the Changping warehouse to be opened to release grain.

As for the military, it was Li Zhi's personal glory. If the people in the border area lost a sheep, the border soldiers would take ten of them back from the foreigners next door. The soldiers would search the local area to see the living person and the dead body. If they couldn't find it, they would assume that they were killed by foreigners. The foreigners must hand over one or several murderers to die. If they don't, If you come out, you will have to fight with the lives of your entire clan.

Most of Li Zhi's unreasonableness was manifested by foreigners, and a small part of it was manifested by nobles. As for the people in the country, Li Zhi was the only emperor who was willing to reason with the people for many, many years.

Just because Li Zhi is such a person, it happened that the Dawan Governor's Office casually extorted 20,000 good horses from others.

This kind of thing is very common in various governor's offices, and the censors and officials also turn a blind eye to these things. They know that even if matters outside the Tang Dynasty are brought to the emperor's desk, the emperor's first judgment is still that the people of the Tang Dynasty are right.

It would be better not to send such a complaint to the emperor's desk. Once the emperor starts to interfere with the matter, the consequences for the foreigners will be ten times more serious than before the complaint.

The principle of giving priority to the people of the Tang Dynasty has formed a general consensus both at home and abroad in the Tang Dynasty.

This caused a strange phenomenon in the Tang Dynasty. The people in the border areas were generally richer than the people in the customs.

Especially the people who went to the Western Regions. After working hard in the Western Regions for a few years, they could return to their hometowns with the money they earned in the Western Regions and become famous local rich men.

As a result, more and more Tang people have followed the Western Regions caravans to the Western Regions in recent years, especially the people of Wannian and Chang'an counties.

The emperor requested that the people of two counties in Chang'an burn the land that had been burned once again. Although it was a waste of people and money, the effect of eliminating pests was really good.

In order to prevent another scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix in Qujiang Palace, Li Zhi ordered that every tree in Qujiang Palace be cut down. The euphemistic name was to prevent insect plagues. In this matter, the royal family must be considerate of the people. , we cannot keep those trees, which will cause trouble for the people to plant crops next year.

Li Hong came to see Yun Chu. He really couldn't understand that a single incident of a flock of broken birds could create a gap between his father and mother.

If his father didn't like his mother being surrounded by birds, he could have staged a pilgrimage of animals.

There are many rare birds and animals in the Beast Control Prison, including rhinos, crocodiles, elephants, lions, tigers, giant bears, giant wolves, and leopards. As long as those beasts are taught a lesson with a whip, his father can stand Accept the worship of all beasts in the herd.

Yun Chu shook his head to get rid of the newly formed image in his mind.

Just think about it and you will know what a stupid and funny scene it is for Li Zhi to stand among a group of trembling beasts. The beasts, driven by the whips of the beast supervisors, trembled to salute the emperor.

Even if such a scene is beautified by historians and secretaries, it will only become the biggest joke in the history of the Tang Dynasty after it is spread to later generations.

"Don't get involved. This is a testimony of the love between your father and your mother. It will become a good story in the future."

"Why do I feel like it's more of a joke?"

"When a man likes a woman, he will often do a lot of stupid things without thinking, and it doesn't matter how wise and powerful the person is, he will still do stupid things when he should do it.

When he woke up afterwards, he couldn't believe that this was something he could do. However, it turned out that he really did it, and he did it very stupidly. There will be no exceptions to this kind of thing depending on who you are. "

"You said this was a stupid thing done because my father liked my mother?" Li Hong glanced sideways at Yun Chu, refusing to believe even a word of what his master said.

Yun Chu touched Li Hong's round head and said: "If there is anything unexplainable between your father and your mother in the future, you can think that it is your father and your mother expressing their love for each other. It’s done.”

"What if my father puts my mother in the cold palace?"

"Fool, that's a kind of love."

"What if my father wants to kill my mother and queen, just like he did to the previous queen?"

"That's also a kind of love, it's just a little perverted."

Li Hong looked at Yun Chu for a long time, and after a long, long time, he whispered: "You mean, even if my mother is going to die, I will continue to pretend to be stupid, thinking that there is still a relationship between my father and my mother. Is there love?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "As a son, you must think that your parents love each other, and at the same time, you must also think that they all love you.

Taking sides between parents is the stupidest thing to do. "

"Master, won't you explain carefully the reason for doing this?"

Yun Chu patted Li Hong on the head and said: "Without explanation, there is no way to explain, because you have the blood of both of them on your body. If you can't repay the blood and flesh, you'd better do what I say for the rest of your life." Don't hate your father or your mother."

Li Hong whispered: "Shouldn't I have likes and dislikes?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "If you are an ordinary child, of course you are allowed to have your own emotions. However, since you will be the emperor in the future, it is best to choose emotions according to the pros and cons. Judging from the current situation, you can surpass it in the future. The only possibility for your father lies in benevolence.

The Tang Dynasty has been at war with each other for so many years. By the time you ascend the throne, the world should be truly peaceful.

At that time, we should implement benevolent government and benevolent skills, and truly educate the world with the way of benevolent people. "

Li Hong said puzzledly: "Isn't the King's Art successful?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Your father has brought the art of overlord to its end, and the end of the art of overlord is that the benevolent are invincible."

Li Hongdao: "What if I am kind to them and they are unkind to me?"

Yun Chu laughed and said: "The invincibility of the benevolent means that when you implement benevolent policies and benevolent techniques, everyone will definitely admit it, accept your benevolent policies and benevolent techniques, and will definitely repay you with the same benevolence." kindness.

There is no such thing as you being kind to them and them being unkind to you. "

Li Hong then laughed and said: "Master is right, benevolent government and benevolent skills are really good things. I will think carefully about what my benevolent government and benevolent skills are, and try my best to use these methods well.

Master, tomorrow Master Li will gather Chang'an birds in the East Palace. Will you go and watch? "

Without waiting for Yun Chu to speak, Nah Ha, who brought water to the two of them, said: "We can't go. There are bird poop everywhere, but it's dirty. I also saw bird poop on the queen's body and hair."

Yunchu changed the subject and said, "Is the parrot I gave you still scolding me?"

As expected, Naha was attracted by this fresh topic and said proudly: "Now, that parrot likes to say "Gong Xi Fa Cai", I taught him well."

Li Hong laughed on the side and said: "If you say a wrong word, just pluck out a feather. Even if the parrot is a flat-haired beast, when the bloody feathers are plucked out, it will naturally know what to say. I can’t say those words anymore.”

Yun Chu said: "Then take good care of it. After all, that parrot is also a very good bird."

After Nah Ha left, Li Hong asked, "Are there some things that Nah Ha shouldn't know?"

Yun Chu said: "It's best not to let her know about things that are too cruel. She just needs to live a happy life."

"Master, why don't you protect me like this? I also want to live my whole life happily."

"It's better for you to dream..."

The conversations between Yun Chu and Li Hong were always so relaxed and pleasant. Some truths that Li Hong should know were instilled in him by Yun Chu in this relaxed conversation environment, similar to that of friends.

People like Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and Shangguan Yi would tell him the knowledge in the books. Yun Chu would materialize a lot of the knowledge in the books and then tell this smart prince.

Yun Chu never told Li Hong what to do, only what choices he should make. Although sometimes the choices he made were not always correct, they were definitely the most helpful to him.

This time the prince came to Yun's to give away the red peppers. The first round of red peppers was very large. Yun Chu took out a large part of the seeded red peppers to make various Tang Dynasty dishes. The most familiar sauce, the remaining ones, are spread all over Yun's yard in bright red.

Li Hong bullied Naha and made Li Si cry. After playing with the Yunjin brothers and sisters in a soft cotton bag for a while, he left the Yun family in a crowd.

The growth rate of this little boy is astonishing. Now, Nah Ha can no longer beat Li Hong. At the same time, in the eyes of outsiders, this child has become quieter and more peaceful, becoming more and more like a Confucian classic. Describe the gentleman.

Even Wu Mei admitted that her son was a gentle little gentleman.

Of course, this was Wu Mei's vicious comment that she couldn't see Li Hong defeating Naha and twisted her arm to ask her to admit defeat.

It was also a comment that could not see the naughty look of Li Hong hooking Li Si's butt with his feet and forcefully throwing her into the cotton pile.

This was the evaluation he gave after he couldn't see how Li Hong, Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie were scheming against each other and digging holes into each other when they were playing cards.

Tomorrow the East Palace will reenact the scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, and Yun Chu can't even think about it. In fact, if he had a choice, Yun Chu would definitely not go back.

He is very sure that anyone who destroys Wu Mei's auspiciousness tomorrow will be firmly remembered by Wu Mei and will be resented forever.

Throughout the history books, Wu Mei has been on the road of revenge and revenge all her life. She does not hesitate to repay those who have helped her a hundredfold, and she has always wanted to take revenge on those who have hurt her. Moreover, the same is true. Repay it a hundredfold.

Therefore, Yunchu planned to reduce his presence to the limit as much as possible tomorrow.

News came from Yanjiu that the Shiguo liar who called himself Bu Langzi and didn't even have a name finally revealed everything he knew.

When Yun Chu came to the underground prison in Wannian County, the lights were brightly lit, and the pine trees burning fiercely made a crackling sound.

In the middle of the bright corridor, Yan Jiu looked even smaller. The prisoners who immediately shouted that they were wronged when they saw Yun Chu's arrival seemed very excited.

Yun Chu couldn't figure out why these guys who had clearly confessed in court and knew the facts of the crime were still complaining about injustice at this time. It was obviously useless.

"Shut your stinky mouth!" As the short Yan Jiu shouted angrily, the long and narrow corridor prison immediately fell silent.

Yun Chu came to the cell closest to him, looked at a man with a beard inside and said, "I remember your name is Zhou Lang, right?"

The man nodded in surprise and said, "It's Xiaomin."

Yun Chu added: "I still remember that you strangled your brother to death and raped your sister-in-law because of a dispute over two pieces of money, right?"

Zhou Zhoulang immediately shook his head and said: "It's unfair. Xiaomin didn't strangle his brother to death, let alone molest his sister-in-law. They are all village leaders. Fangzheng and others have wronged me."

Yun Chu nodded, turned to Yan Jiu and said, "Since he feels that he was unjustly accused, let's try the case again. He must not unjustly accuse a good person."

Yan Jiu sneered and said: "When the neighbors caught him, he was still lying naked on his sister-in-law's body. He was still holding a bloody hatchet on his sister-in-law's neck with one hand, and pressed him with the other hand. My sister-in-law's breasts were seen by no less than ten people, including two bad guys. If there is still any grievance, it's God's fault."

Yun Chu took a deep look at Zhou Lang and said to Yan Jiu: "Then check the confession again and try it again."

Yan Jiu chuckled and said, "During the last trial, some of the torture instruments were not used, but he confessed to the truth. This time I tried to use all the unused torture instruments."

After Zhou Lang heard this, he immediately grabbed the prison railing and shouted: "I will not redress my injustice. I have not been wronged..."

Yan Jiu was furious, stretched out an iron hook and accurately hooked Zhou Lang's mouth, and the noise immediately disappeared.

Yun Chu said softly to the corridor prison: "If anyone else feels that they have been wronged, they can raise it at any time and I will try it again."

There was silence in the corridor.

Yun Chu said it again, and no one in the corridor complained about injustice. Then he said to Yan Jiu: "Let's go see the prodigal son."

Yan Jiu then let go of the hook, stared at Zhou Lang for a while, and then led the way to the torture room to see the honest prodigal Bu.

When passing by those death row cells, Yun Chu felt no disturbance at all. He was convinced that the reason why these people were locked up in death row cells and awaiting execution by Qiu Hou was because they were bound to die.

Wannian County is extremely cautious when trying a person for death penalty. The legal officer level must be able to withstand questioning, and the county captain level must also be able to withstand accountability. Finally, it is reported to Dali Temple for review. Only once will the criminal be put on death row to be executed.

For general crimes, Yunchu allows human feelings to appear. However, Wannian County generally will not easily rule on this crime as a capital crime. Once it is ruled as a capital crime, then the person will only die, even if the emperor issues a general amnesty. , these people will also be beheaded before the will is carried out.

There is no reason for the emperor to grant a general amnesty to the world and release prisoners who have committed capital crimes to continue to harm the people.

When Yun Chu followed Yan Jiu to the torture room, the first thing he saw was Bu Langzi who was still blowing bubbles with his mouth.

"This man is called Suleiman. He can speak Tang Dynasty. Not only can he speak, but he can also write. His father is Su Ridi, the governor of the Shi Kingdom. He once served as the envoy of the Shi Kingdom in the 20th year of Zhenguan. Come to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute.

This time, he lied about the name of Bagman, the strongest warrior in the Stone Kingdom, and entered the Tang Dynasty in the name of doing business.

The purpose of this is to attract the attention of a person named Shipantuo, hoping that Shipantuo will focus on him so that Bagman, who secretly sneaked into the Tang Dynasty, can duel with Shipantuo.

If Shipantuo does not come out, he will reveal his identity as an envoy of the Shiguo and make a request to the Tang Dynasty, asking Shipantuo to abide by the rules of the Shiguo and participate in a "battle in a cage".

So far, I have not interrogated Bagman's whereabouts, but in my estimation, even if this person does not know where Bagman is, he must know how to find Bagman.

As long as the county magistrate gives me a little more time, I will definitely be able to ask. "

Yunchu came to Suleiman who was still vomiting bubbles, looked at his dull smoky gray eyes and said: "Shipan Tuo is old. He can't hold a knife or compete in martial arts. He recommended me to participate for him. This is a cage match.

Now, do you have anything to say to me? "

When Yan Jiu saw Yunchu asking Suleiman, he jumped up high and stepped hard on Suleiman's belly with both feet. He only heard a pop and a stream of foam burst out of Suleiman's mouth. The water column flew two feet high and then fell heavily on Suleiman's body.

"I poured a lot of soapy water into him, up and down, and also added a lot of hot mustard. Just spit it out and it'll be fine."

Yan Jiu explained to Yun Chu softly.

Yun Chu looked at Suleiman who entered the room with an expression on his face and said, "His reaction was not very big."

Yan Jiu chuckled and said, "Maybe he got used to it after being fed it too many times. However, even so, there is still not much truth in this liar's mouth. The information I just reported to you is just a little bit. Picked it out of the mouth."

Yun Chu shook his head, looked into Suleiman's eyes again and said, "Don't hold on, there are many heroes here, and they all said everything they should and shouldn't say without exception."

Suleiman opened his mouth, and a huge bubble appeared on his mouth. Yanjiu popped the bubble thoughtfully, and Suleiman said to Yun Chu in a hoarse voice: "Shi Pantuo is just an old monk. Why are you helping him like this? If you are willing to help me complete this competition, I will give you a thousand camels."

Yun Chu smiled when he heard this, and said to Yan Jiu: "Ask me, the opportunity for you jailers to generate income has come. He can bring a thousand camels to bribe me. I believe that the camels he can use must be more than three. Thousands of horses.”

Suleiman heard this and shouted: "I am the envoy of the Shi Kingdom. I have sent someone to report to Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty. You can't kill me."

Yun Chu smiled slightly and said to Suleiman in a low voice: "Every year, no less than two thousand envoys come to Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty to report. They are picked up by wolves, killed by bandits, sunk in boats, die of illness, and starve. There are many messengers of death.

Even if you die in this place, I can guarantee you that absolutely no one from the Tang Dynasty will ask about this matter.

Suleiman, if your name is prefixed with Mohammed, it will sound very noble, and it will also have a strong food style.

Let’s talk about it, you, a person from a big food country background, have traveled thousands of miles to kill an old monk.

Tell me, what do you want to do? "

I finally wrote a big chapter, see you tomorrow.
