Chapter 19 The Crown Princess

After receiving the summons from Li Shimin, Luo Shixin was mentally prepared. Seeing Liu Yanke's worried look, he smiled indifferently and headed straight to the palace.

When he arrived at the East Palace, Luo Shixin waited for a while before taking it to the lobby.

There was only Li Shimin in the lobby. The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, who was about to become the emperor, was grimly frank. Seeing Luo Shixin walking into the lobby, before he could even wait for him to salute, he couldn't help but speak first: "Our Lord Shangshu is here, the more you do, the more you are more promising. He directly denied the resolution of the Three Laws and demanded that the case of rebellion be tried separately... What do you want to do?"

Luo Shixin bowed slowly and bowed slowly, and first fulfilled the etiquette before saying, "It's just pursuing justice!"

Li Shimin had a dark face and slapped the table and shouted: "What the three departments should seek is fairness and fairness. In order to avoid arbitrary situations in major judicial incidents, gather the power of the three people to supervise and judge each other..." He picked up the memorial on the case table and shook in the air, and threw it heavily on the table and said: "But you are so good, you actually want to use the power of the Ministry of Justice to deny the result of the decision of the three judicial departments together... It's fine. I personally criticized the decision, but you vetoed it with one word, intending to classify the rebellion case as the Ministry of Justice to be tried separately. What kind of justice is this? I think you are despising the Censorate and the Dali Temple, intending to override the Ministry of Justice above both."

Li Shimin's words were fierce and furious.

He is the crown prince of the governor and is about to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As an emperor, checks and balances of power and skills are very important.

As one of the most outstanding emperors in Chinese history, Li Shimin also attached great importance to this aspect. The power in judicial affairs was too great. This has been reflected in the Warring States Period. Since the Warring States Period, each prince will separate judicial power. Let different people take charge of it, namely Taiwei, Sikong, Situ, and Han Dynasty have made more clear about this process, and the Tang Dynasty has made the contribution more clear, with the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate. The Trial Trial is a judicial body composed of one person in each of the Three Judicial Departments, and is also the highest and most unquestionable judicial body in the judicial system. Only extremely important cases will the Trial Trial Trial be launched to ensure the fairness and justice of the judiciary.

Often, only those who rebel or have high power will commit serious mistakes. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the cases of the Three Divisions have only been tried a few times.

No matter what purpose Luo Shixin did, he was doing it to provoke the highest judicial body of the Tang Dynasty. He questioned the fairness and justice of the trial of the Three Secretary. This matter had not spread yet. If it spread, it was almost certain that Luo Shixin would be hostile to the Censorate and Dali Temple, and thus impeached by both sides. The big trouble would trigger attacks from all over the court and arouse public anger.

At that time, even if he is Li Yuan, he will not be able to protect Luo Shixin. Li Yuan, who was in Taiyuan, had to take the position of Li Yuanji, let alone Luo Shixin?

Luo Shixin was not afraid of this question, but said: "I did not mean to despise the Censorate and the Dali Temple, nor did I raise the Ministry of Justice. The three courts share judicial powers as a system that has existed since ancient times. I have no intention of provoking. But the purpose of such a system is to prevent individuals from using their power for personal gain and dealing with things injustice. This is why the three courts have mutual supervision and supervision. The current censor Du Yan is suspected of accepting bribes, and the Dali Temple Minister Cui Shan dared to go too far into the case and did not dare to go into the case too deeply. The Three Courts will try to be unfair. Since it is unfair, why don't people doubt it? The power of the Minister of Justice is to control the criminal laws of the world, investigate unfair affairs, and turn over unfair cases."

He took a deep breath and said, "The evidence on the surface of the rebellion of King Lujiang is conclusive, but there are countless doubts. Your Highness appointed me as the Minister of Justice. In order to repay His Highness for his gratitude, he should do his best to do the work of the Ministry of Justice. The Censor and the Minister of the Dali Temple do not want to do it, so let me come to the Ministry of Justice."

Li Shimin was even more annoyed and said, "Du Yan, Cui Shanwei are all meritorious officials of my Tang Dynasty. They have made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty. How can you not be nonsense without any evidence? They have been in charge of the judiciary for many years, and their experience and ability are above you. Why do you determine your right thing if they agree with it?"

Luo Shixin said tit-for-tat: "It is because their experience and ability are better than me. I can see that there is something wrong. What reasons do they have to see? The matter is not clear, and the case is constantly unclear. Since there is a problem, we must investigate it clearly. No matter whether it is a big or small case, we can be worthy of the position of Minister of Justice. If I want to handle the case in a confused manner or make a fool of myself, I can't do it. Even if Doctor Du is the confidant of Your Highness and has made contributions to Your Highness, if he violates the law, he will still deal with it according to the law."

Li Shimin was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him.

Luo Shixin looked at him without fear, without any permission.

At this moment, news suddenly came that the Crown Princess asked for a meeting.

Li Shimin was like a change in a Peking Opera, and the anger on his face disappeared immediately. He waved his hand and said, "Go down, let's discuss this matter later."

When Luo Shixin saw that Li Shimin heard that Changsun came, he couldn't care about anything and had to leave.

Not long after Luo Shixin left the hall, Changsun's figure appeared outside the side hall.

"Why are you here?" Li Shimin went up to greet him with a smile on his face, and said with great confidence: "If you have something to call me, why should you come in person? If the fetus is alarmed, that's not good."

Changsun smiled sweetly and said, "These horoscopes are not yet so dangerous." She was still very happy with the care of the husband.

This month, her Tiankui has been going on. She has become a mother of three children and has gained some experience. She suspected that she had lost her beads and had a secret knot, so she told Li Shimin to know.

While Li Shimin was overjoyed, she, the princess who was already deeply favored, was even more curious for a while.

Li Shimin said: "That's different. I came in and calculated it. You said it was a coincidence. The child in your womb is my ninth son or ninth daughter, and the ninth son is respected and ninth is the greatest. I have thought about the name in advance. If the boy is called Li Zhi, his name is Weishan, and a girl is also a girl. I have to think about it carefully."

"Be kind to others, be kind to yourself... a good name!" Changsun revealed Li Shimin's intention in a word, and then said, "I heard from Lizhi that you had a quarrel with your brother-in-law?"

Li Shimin was stunned and said annoyed, "The little guy knows to report the news!" He said that, and said angrily, "The instructions I gave myself to refute. He looked so strikingly that he was so angry that he arranged to the Ministry of Justice. He thought that he was trustworthy and reliable and could stabilize the situation, but he didn't want him to rebel against the army and deal with me. Are you angry? I kindly asked him to come over to avoid becoming the target of public criticism. But he was justified and would not give in until he achieved his goal, and did not give in at all. Instead, it was my fault. He made me angry, and he withdrew him, the Minister of Justice, to see how he refuted my order."

Changsun listened to her husband's complaints and said angrily: "It's really annoying. Your Highness is the prince, the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and is more than ten thousand people. My brother-in-law doesn't say good things about it, but he actually has the courage to disobey Your Highness. It's a very evil crime, so he should be removed so that the people of the world know your highness's power and see if there is still one who dares to anger your Highness in the future, dares to argue with reason in front of the palace and tell the truth."

Seeing Changsun's indignation, Li Shimin opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. After a while, he pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, in your eyes, I am just Yang Guang who can't listen to advice? I can't listen to any honest advice?"

Changsun bowed and smiled and said, "I understand your ambition. My brother-in-law is upright and dares to argue with reason when facing unfair things. Isn't your highness the only one who promoted him to the Minister of Justice because he was interested in his brother-in-law. In the face of the rebellion of the King of Lujiang, isn't Du Yan and Cui Shanwei's silence and brother-in-law's strong reaction a sharp contrast? I believe that your highness knows more than anyone else about Du Yan's character, and so on. I am a woman, and I don't understand any great principles. I just heard that the more wise the king can tolerate people who dare to speak the truth and do practical things. I also think that Your Highness is such a person."

Luo Shixin returned to the Ministry of Justice, and Liu Yanke came up with great worries: "Sir, is Your Highness the Crown Prince making things difficult for you?"

"No!" Luo Shixin said: "There was a little dispute, but the problem has not been resolved yet. You don't have to worry too much about it. As long as I am in this position, the case will be investigated. The important thing is not this problem now. We have to think of a way to break the deadlock in front of us."

Liu Yanke looked at Luo Shixin like he was looking at an alien!

Some dispute started?

The problem has not been resolved yet?

"This..." Liu Yanke felt that his IQ was not enough, and the fact that Li Shimin was about to become the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was almost undisclosed. This openly argued with the future emperor, do you think that he had a long life?

Just when Liu Yanke suspected his IQ, the Secretariat reported the latest appointment. He affirmed the results of the trial of the three departments. However, the case of rebellion by King Li Yuan of Lujiang was too wide and there were still some problems that had not been clarified. He ordered the Minister of Justice Luo Shixin to continue to follow up on the case and investigate it thoroughly.

Liu Yanke doubted his IQ and began to doubt his ears again.

Luo Shixin was not very surprised. He knew Li Shimin's mentality quite well. The more you resist, the more you can stand up in principle to argue with him. The more he will value it, the more he will value it.

Just like Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng forced Li Shimin to get out of power several times, which made Li Shimin so angry that he was so angry that he even wanted to kill him, a country bumpkin, but he was still very enjoyable.

Luo Shixin refused to give in to Li Shimin, not because he was seeking death recklessly, but because he knew that Li Shimin could accommodate subordinates who argued and quarreled with him. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
