On the fourth day of Li Yuan's return to Beijing, Chang'an County ordered Zhang Mengzhun to receive a strange letter.
The submitter of the petition is named Hu Laosi, who is a helper in a shop.
He accused his sister's husband, the left servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu and the head of the Qin Palace, Shi Liu Wenjing, of behaving wildly during the closed-door thinking, raising a soldier privately, and colluding with the sorcerer and goddess to curse the Tang Emperor.
If it is placed on weekdays, Zhang Mengzhun doesn't bother to look at such cases of Diao slaves falsely accusing his master, and directly beats the complainant with 300 spinal rods, and fills the army with a side plug.
But in the past few days, the situation in the officialdom has been strange, and many people feel that something big is about to happen.
With Zhang Mengzhun's head as the first county commander of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely not be able to block the angry blow of some people.
Therefore, after receiving the complaint, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered someone to put the complainant in prison, and he personally held the complaint and drove it to his boss Dou Wei.
Jingzhao Yin Douwei was also taken aback when he received the paper.
Knowing that he received a hot charcoal today, he immediately did not enter the palace, and asked Li Yuan to take a look at it.
Li Yuan had just dispersed the early dynasty, and when he saw the paper, he was furious, and ordered someone to drag the bully Diao Nu out and beat him to death.
Then he ordered the warriors to capture Liu Wenjing and raid his home.
The case was handed over to Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Guo, Pei Lian, the right servant, and Li Gang, the Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, to be tried together.
Xiao Yu is a smart person, and at a glance, he knows that this case is very important.
Li Gang is a square person, and although he was hinted at by the crown prince, he was unwilling to beat Liu Wenjing into a trick.
Pei Lin has always been a good person and doesn't like to dump his colleagues.
Therefore, after discussing it, the three of them brought Liu Wenjing out of the prison, and asked kindly: "The prince is already in the position of a minister, although he has suffered some minor responsibilities at the moment, it is only a temporary difficulty.
How could such a rebellious act be made?"
Liu Wenjing wiped away her tears and replied with a wry smile, "At the beginning of the Taiyuan Uprising, I was Sima and had the merit of being the first to make plans.
Now you are in the first place, and you have many rewards.
Liu's official reward is no different from everyone else.
Fighting in the east and west, the family has no support, and there is indeed dissatisfaction.
I have complained and complained after drinking, and I have also argued with His Majesty in person.
But if it is said that the sorcerer and the god cursed His Majesty, such a thing that the village husband and village women disdain to do, Liu really can't do it" Xiao Yu saw that Liu Wenjing had only been locked up in the prison for one night, and she was already so depressed that she was like a homeless man.
I had the heart to excuse him, thought about it, and continued to ask, "Since you didn't collude with the wizard to curse Your Majesty, why did you find a lot of Shinto things in your back house?"
Liu Wenjing sighed and responded with a low shot: "Adults also know that I have a lot of female dependents in my family.
Occasionally, there are one or two superstitious Shinto people who do some tricks to help the immortals, just to relieve the loneliness for a while.
I don't believe that, so I don't bother to care.
But I didn't expect to be in trouble because of this."
"Expose you, but what do you say about the brother of one of your concubines" Pei Lin patted the paper and asked with a smile.
Liu Wenjing has worked with him for many years, although there have been some small conflicts in the struggle for power and profit, but he has not formed any big enemies.
Hearing Pei Lian's question, he thought that he had the same purpose as Li Gang and the others, thought about it, lowered his head and replied, "That little concubine is jealous, and I have already been beaten into the firewood room as a servant, so she is naturally resentful."
This is because Liu didn't deal with the back house, which really bothered you. ” "If you are not satisfied with the reward, you can say it in front of others after drinking" Pei Lin smiled and asked again.
"Said" mentioned this, Liu Wenjing felt a little feverish on her face.
"In front of my brother Wenqi, I said that I was unwilling to be subordinate to adults.
Shame, shame" After asking a few more casual questions, the presiding judge Xiao Yu ordered someone to send Liu Wenjing back to the prison so that he could settle down.
Then the four words "no substantiated evidence" were approved on the case file and sent to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan looked at the interrogation record, frowned and asked, "The paper is full of rebellious words, can't you really find any real evidence of rebellion?"
Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, and Li Gang, the Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, looked at each other, pouting and not knowing how to answer.
The right servant pointed to the interrogation record and said in a low voice: "It is true that the ministers have not found evidence of Liu Wenjing's rebellion, but judging by his words, the intention of rebellion has been revealed.
Moreover, this person also served as the chief of the Qin Palace, and he had many friends with the generals in the army.
If you don't punish the crime, sooner or later it will be a great disaster."
Li Yuan had already made an appointment with Pei Lin and the others, and he was just trying to avoid killing the minister in vain and being mean.
After listening to Pei Lian's words, he immediately took the case, "Honestly, if I read his merits and can't bear to punish him, I don't know how many people will kill themselves in the future." ” After that, he ignored the expressions of Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Guo, and Li Gang, the Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, and immediately issued an order, ordering Liu Wenjing and Liu Wenqi to be beheaded and their family property confiscated.
Wives and concubines and children were reduced to commoners.
When Li Shimin, the king of Qin, heard this, he didn't care about dissuasion, and broke into the palace in the middle of the night to intercede for Liu Wenjing.

The next day, Li Yuan issued another holy decree in the early court, punishing the king of Qin to study at home behind closed doors for three months, and cutting off the title of the general Yin Kaishan and demoting him by five ranks.
Liu Wenjing and Liu Wenqi brothers were beheaded on the same day from the autumn queen, and their heads were hung on the city wall for ten days. was interrogated the day before, and Liu Wenjing thought that the turmoil was about to pass.
I didn't expect to be executed so soon. shouted injustice at the officials who came to prison for execution.
His younger brother Liu Wenqi was a military general, and he was far less afraid of death than his brother.
He smiled and persuaded in a low voice, "Stop shouting."
Save face for yourself.
I think when you helped Mrs.
Li kill Wang Wei and Gao Junya for treason, did you care if the two of them were wronged?"
Listening to her brother's words, Liu Wenjing suddenly realized.
With a long sigh, he was killed.
Li Yuan saw Liu Wenjing's head, and his anger had not subsided.
Investigate the case of the excavation of the ancestral grave of the Li family when the army was raised.
Sent a holy decree into Shannan Province to comfort the ambassador Li Xiaogong's army, and ordered him to immediately kill the marching commander Shi Li Jing when he saw the decree, and send the head back to Chang'an with lime seals.
The marching commander Shi Lijing was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shouted grievances.
Thanks to Shannan Province's consolation ambassador Li Xiaogong, he cherished his talents, muttered for a long time, and used his military exploits as a guarantee to save Li Jing's life.
This series of storms blew down, and the ministers of the Tang Kingdom finally understood that His Majesty the Emperor was investigating the rebellion and taking the opportunity to repair the cronies of the King of Qin and build a Zhang Mu for the crown prince is true.
Thinking of the fact that Liu Wenjing could not escape with two gold medals for avoiding death, from then on, he never dared to openly make friends with King Qin.
However, some low-level generals felt that Li Yuan's hand was too unrighteous.
On the contrary, he deepened his sympathy for King Qin.
This was unexpected by Li Yuanjun's ministers, but there was nothing to be done.
When the turmoil in the Beijing Division finally calmed down, the time was in the middle of summer.
Good news came from the north, Dingyang Khan Liu Wuzhou went out hunting and fell off his horse, fell and injured his head, and was unable to ask about politics.
The right servant shot Pei Lin once again proposed to lead the troops to the north, and by the way, he recruited the heroes of the north for the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan thought about it, and fulfilled the private promise of the two before.
Before the army set off, Li Yuan took Pei Lian's hand and whispered: "Xuan Zhen, although you are good at planning, you are not a general.
If it weren't for the fact that no one dared to use it for a while, I would never have let you lead the army into battle.
This time I went back to Hedong, it was good if I could force Liu Wuzhou to be in chaos, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Taiyuan.
You don't have to ask for a quick win.
Even if you are frustrated, don't worry.
Fight steadily, our national strength and military strength are ten times greater than Liu Wuzhou, and consumption can consume him to death."
"Thank you Lord for the plan" After Pei Lin listened, he hugged his fists and gave Li Yuan a military salute.
He gathered an army of 50,000 and rode his horse north.
A war dragged on for nearly four months from the beginning of planning to the specific execution, and the ministers under Liu Wuzhou's command, even if they were all deaf, had the institute to prepare.
As soon as the two sides fought, Pei Lin suffered a big loss at the hands of Chi Jingde, a fierce general under Liu Wuzhou, and was beheaded by six generals by the opponent and shot off the banner of the Chinese army.
The 50,000 soldiers and horses could not receive effective command orders and collapsed. has been running backwards for more than 200 miles, and it is only at the foot of Jiujing Mountain that he can gain a firm foothold.
With Li Yuan's previous guarantee to lay the foundation, Pei Lin is not chaotic although defeated.
After reorganizing the troops and horses, he guarded the road up the mountain and the back road, and wrote a letter to the imperial court to ask for reinforcements.
Wei Chi Jingde chased to the foot of Jiujing Mountain, and did not wait for a single step forward after several charges.
I also heard that the Boling Army and the Youzhou Army had the intention of advancing westward in the near future, and I was worried about Liu Wuzhou's safety, so I had to withdraw my troops and return to Taiyuan.
The danger ahead has been resolved, and follow-up reinforcements have not arrived.
Pei Lin had enough time to spare, so he immediately summoned Chen Liangcheng, a military general stationed in Shangdang County, to discuss with him about the demotion of Cheng Mingzhen.
Chen Liangcheng is the distant nephew of the late chief minister Shi Chen Yanshou, who was demoted to a local military attache because he was unfavorable in the battle with Chai Shao when he passed through Hebei last year.
A few days ago, Chen Yanshou's funeral, he was not eligible to participate because he was a guilty person.
Now he is worried about this matter, after listening to Pei Lian's plan, he smiled, and said very disdainfully: "The old man will not come sooner, not later, how did he choose this time to recruit the surname Cheng a few months earlier, he can still earn a piece of land for Datang, now, he is about to become a lost dog, what is the use of recruiting" "How do you say this, didn't he just fall out with Dou Jiande" Pei Lin was taken aback when he heard this, and asked with a frown.
"Hehe, the boss doesn't know yet" mentioned what happened to Cheng Mingzhen, Chen Liangcheng felt relieved.
"This kid is like a tiger, born and died for Dou Jiande.

But he didn't expect Dou Jiande to be worried about his territory.
Some time ago, I wanted to recruit him to the palace to design and kill, and his soldiers and horses.
Unexpectedly, he saw through it and fled overnight.
But the monk can't run away from the temple, what kind of person is Dou Jiande, in less than two months, he persuaded Yang Gongqing, Wang Bo, Gao Kaidao and others together.
Then several armies marched west at the same time, and Cheng Mingzhen's kid could indeed fight, but a good tiger couldn't stand a group of wolves.
At that time, without His Majesty's order, I did not dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, if I take the opportunity to climb over Taihang Mountain and insert another knife in his back, the surname Cheng will die immediately."
"I know Chen Gongnai for the past."
Pei Lin mentioned it seemingly irrelevantly, then smiled and continued: "You intend to kill the enemy to serve the country, and your heart is commendable.
Your Majesty would be very happy if he knew.
But that Cheng Mingzhen was told by my majesty before I set out to surrender at the opportunity.
Although he is in trouble now, it is always easier to be grateful than icing on the cake.
If you have any news about him, you might as well tell me about it.
No matter how many people are left under his command, as long as he is alive, I must find him."
"It's going to be hard.
Senior" Chen Liangcheng is a clever person, scratched his head, and the tone of his voice changed to the tone of the younger generation towards the elders, "I heard that a few months ago, the surname Cheng fought the last battle with Dou Jiande, and the two counties of Xiangguo and Wu'an were all involved.
Thanks to the fact that he was the head snake of the land and was familiar with the road, he escaped into the giant deer.
That giant deer is a big puddle, and the terrain inside changes every quarter.
Without an insider to lead the way, Dou Jiande didn't dare to rush in.
If you want to recruit him, you must first find the person who can enter Juluze. ” "It's not difficult," Pei Lin smiled and replied confidently.
A few days ago, Wang Deren also hid in Taihang Mountain.
I'm going to go and recruit him first.
Although my Datang official is easy to do, he always has to pay a letter of nomination."
"The seniors are ready to recruit Wang Deren" As soon as he heard this, Chen Liangcheng immediately came to his senses.
"I know where he is, before the beginning of spring, that kid once wanted to climb out of the mountains to find food, and I led someone to beat him up.
If Your Majesty is willing to surrender him, I will send troops and horses to block his door, so that I can sign an alliance under the city."
"No need," Pei Lin waved his hand lightly.
"Eat the rice in one bite.
Wang Deren is just an additive, and he can't use a large army to enter the mountains.
You help me find a few brave locals and send me a letter to Wang Junkuo in Hanoi County.
As long as Wang Junkuo can be recruited, Wang Deren will be the turtle in the urn, and he has no choice but to tie his hands and capture" "People, people are easy to find.
But, but "Chen Liangcheng didn't believe his ears a little.
Wang Junkuo is also a fierce general, and he is known as Li Mi's favor.
Hundreds of miles away, Pei Lin actually thought that a letter could recruit him, it was simply a daydream.
But his official position is 108,000 miles away from Pei Lian, and he can't figure out the other party's temperament, so it's not easy to say the words of advice too bluntly, so he has to frown and act like a complaining woman.
In the end, Jiang is still old and spicy, as soon as he saw Chen Liangcheng's expression, Pei Lin guessed the true thoughts in the other party's heart.
He nodded with a smile and said in a low voice, "You go and find the messenger."
If this happens, you will have half the credit.
If it doesn't work, I will bear all the responsibilities, and I won't let your junior suffer it for me."
"Juniors, juniors are not afraid of taking responsibility, they just don't want to see their seniors being ridiculed by thieves, juniors will go to find someone, several big merchants in the city, have been doing business in Hanoi County."
Chen Liangcheng smiled wryly, turned around and retired.
After a while, a businessman in his forties surnamed Liu came to listen to the dispatch.
Pei Lin put down his body and said a few words to the merchant, and then asked him to send the written letter to Hanoi, no matter what means were used, it would definitely be visible to Wang Junkuo.
Then, he took out a letter of recommendation, put it on his desk, and promised with a smile, "Chang'an and Longyou have been decided, and some materials are very scarce.
His Majesty was afraid that the profiteers would see the profit and make it shoddy, so he had always intended to find a few powerful businesses in Hedong to supply the inner palace.

You are willing to take risks to run for me, the old man can't give you anything else, a righteous businessman, you can still do the Lord" "Thank you, my lord, for making it happen" The businessman was still embarrassed at first, and when he heard that Pei Lin was about to deliver such a big deal to him, he immediately bowed down.
"Although the boss can rest assured, even the small one has given up his life, and he will not dare to live up to the trust of the adult.
The reputation of the disadvantage has always been well-known in the area of Hedong, when His Majesty raised troops, the disadvantage was also " "Go, when I come back, I will write all the credit on the fold" Pei Lin waved his hand, stopping the merchant's boasting.
Hedong merchants have had a reputation for being bold and poisonous since ancient times, but when Taiyuan raised troops, except for the clansmen of Sicang who joined the army, that is, the samurai who did the timber business, no business was optimistic about Li Yuan's future.
Therefore, the supply of materials for the Tang Dynasty is almost monopolized by the Hedong martial artists.
Li Yuan was worried that the martial family's tail would not be lost, and he had been thinking about finding some people to share the profits of the martial family.
If the Liu family firm could make a contribution at this moment, wouldn't it just solve another trouble in the imperial court Such a smooth business, in which the inside story, Pei Lin certainly would not tell Shopkeeper Liu too clearly.
The other party is also a clever person, good at reading words and feelings.
Seeing that Pei Lin already had impatience on his face, he hurriedly made a gesture and went out in reverse.
With more than three times the profits, businessmen dare to take the risk of losing their heads.
This is applicable to all Chinese and foreign countries.
I don't know what method was used, but five days later, Pei Lian's letter was delivered to the desk of Wang Junkuo, the chief of the Wagang Army in Hanoi.
Wang Junkuo was not Li Mi's descendant in the first place, and Xu Maogong's Liyang battalion was separated from the main camp of the Wagang Army, and the exchange of news and materials was not smooth, so he became increasingly estranged from Li Mi.
At this moment, I received Pei Lian's letter, and I pondered for a long time, and I couldn't give up in my heart.
When I returned home in the evening, I took out the letter and discussed it with my wife.
His wife is the maid of the Great Sui Palace given by Li Mi, and she has always had some vision. smiled and persuaded in a low voice: "Pei Lian, this old guy is so calculating, he actually talked about your boss and old friends back then.
In order to achieve hegemony, even my father had to share a spoonful of soup to drink when he was boiled, what did my brother count like back then?"
"" Wang Junkuo was furious when he heard this, and pushed his wife to the corner of the bed.
"Those are the good brothers I made when I was poor, and I swore to live and die together.
Others can be tough enough to meet them with swords, but I can't pull that face."
"Then if one day the Wagang Army and the Tang Dynasty go to war, and the general and his former brothers meet on the battlefield, what should the general do" The woman was beaten, and she didn't feel wronged, but smiled, slowly got up from the corner of the bed, rubbed her thrusty shoulder, and asked softly.
"That, that" Wang Junkuo's face turned bitter, shook his head, and repeated a few words in Pei Lian's letter in a low voice, "Fu Xian Deng, wouldn't you be sorry for grandma, this Pei Lao'er, it's really his grandmother's lack of virtue" The woman pursed her lips and smiled, admiring Wang Junkuo's current appearance very much, "Li Mi's guy even dares to kill his life-saving benefactor Zhai Rang, the general thinks, is that guy a person who can be rich and noble?"
"Alas," Wang Junkuo shook his head slightly.
His eyes couldn't hide his disappointment with the Wagang Army.
"In that case, the general simply surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, anyway, he will be an official wherever he goes" The woman smiled and continued to persuade gently.
"Forget it" Wang Junkuo looked at his wife's coquettish smile and asked with a frown.
"But the Wagang Army doesn't have anything to be nostalgic for" The woman nodded, her eyes revealing a hint of cunning.
"In that case, why didn't you say it earlier, instead of going around the bend to anger me" Wang Junkuo slapped it over, and when he reached the position, he fell gently like a feather.
"Pop" the palm of the hand and the body contact with a soft crunch sound.
This was followed by another ecstatic cry, and the candle flame was instantly extinguished.
On summer nights, the moonlight gently ripples in the wind
