Dali Temple is located in the northwest of Chang'an City, in the west of the imperial city and the palace city, in the Yining Fang in the Anyuan Gate.
Anyuan Gate was called Kaiyuan Gate in the Sui Dynasty, Anyuan Gate is the northernmost city gate of the west city wall of Chang'an Guocheng, there are two milestones outside the door, the inscription "West Pole Road 9,900 miles", from the Anyuan Gate of Chang'an to the extreme of the Western Regions 12,000 miles, from Chang'an to the mileage of the Western Regions, is from the Anyuan Gate to the beginning of the calculation.
The Dali Temple of the Tang Dynasty is set up in the Yining Square on the south side of the Anyuan Gate.
In the Sui Dynasty, there was the mansion of the prime minister Gao Gong.
Li Chao is the first time to come to Dali Temple.
Dali Temple is equivalent to the highest court of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty increased the character and took the righteousness of Dali from the prison of the heavenly officials and nobles.
In Datang, the judiciary was actually managed by three departments, the Criminal Department was in charge of judicial practice, the Dali Temple was in charge of imprisonment, and the Yushitai was in charge of picketing prison lawsuits.
Specifically, Dali Temple is the highest judicial organ of the central government, which is responsible for the crimes of hundreds of officials in the central government and the cases of imprisonment or more in the capital.
Imprisonment and exile are relatively heavy punishments, the five punishments of the Tang Dynasty, flogging and death by exile, that is, flogging, striking, fixed-term imprisonment, exile, and death.
Prison sentences are forced labor, and the flow is mostly on the frontiers.
The Criminal Department is in charge of judicial decrees and has the function of adjudication and review.
The Imperial Historical Observatory is the central supervisory organ, in charge of picketing, talking about hundreds of officials breaking the law, and supervising the activities of the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department.
To put it mildly, Dali Temple is equivalent to the current Supreme Court, the Criminal Department is similar to the Ministry of Justice, and the Yushitai is similar to the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Central Extreme Committee.
Zheng Shanguo, as the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, originally had a bright future, and if the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he would definitely be the prime minister.
But now that Li Shimin is the emperor, he is embarrassed.
After all, the Zheng family is not only as simple as supporting the prince, the key is that the Zheng family is also a relative of the prince, and Zheng Guanyin is the princess who was built.
Fortunately, Li Chao helped to speak, and Li Shimin also needed the support of a top scholar like the Zheng family in Xingyang.
With Li Chao as the matchmaker, he also played the role of a guarantor, and Li Shimin also started the Zheng family relatively quickly.
Although Zheng Shanguo was dismissed from the post of the prince's left concubine and the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he still retained the post of Jiuqing of Dali Temple.
The Zheng family was in the Wude Dynasty and had replaced the Cui family as the head of the five surnames.
However, such a thousand-year-old wealthy family is also realistic, as soon as Li Jiancheng fell, as soon as Li Chao came to the door, the Zheng family immediately fell to Li Shimin.
There was no slightest dragging of mud and water, and there was no hesitation.
"Cousin Zheng has been okay recently" The family wanted to take her out of the palace, but she was unwilling, saying that she would accompany the construction.
San Lang, you say, will Jiancheng die" When Zheng Shanguo said these words, it was so natural.
"Since Xuanwumen is not dead, it is natural that it will not die, and this can be assured.
His Royal Highness is the kind of ambitious person, and killing the crown prince will only damage his reputation.
However, the crown prince will not want to go out of Beijing within ten years, maybe ten years later, he will be able to leave the palace and have a courtyard in the capital to live idle.
Even twenty years later, maybe he can be awarded the title of a county king, a prince of the country, etc., and go out of Beijing to become a rich and idle king. ” Li Chao also knows a little about Li Shimin.
It's really ruthless when he's ruthless, but he's also a person who can control himself better.
Jiancheng, Yuanji, unless they still have to do something rebellious, otherwise their lives are worry-free.
"Guanyin just can't bear those three children."
Zheng Guanyin married Li Jiancheng at the age of sixteen and gave birth to a son and two daughters for him, the eldest son and the eldest daughter are still five daughters, and the children are still young.
The Zheng family wanted to take the Zheng family out of the palace in order to draw a line with the abolished prince, but Zheng Guanyin was unwilling to leave.
"Cousin Zheng is affectionate and righteous, in fact, the Zheng family doesn't have to care about this, my cousin doesn't want to, so let him be.
In fact, the prince is interested in the performance of the Zheng family in the future, not before. ” Li Chao's words made Zheng Shanguo's heart settle down a lot.
Following the wrong person is also very dangerous for a thousand-year-old wealthy family like the Zheng family.
Five surnames and seven sects, the reputation is indeed great, but it is impossible to resist the king of a country.
Take a look at the Cui family, the leader of the northern scholar clan back then, the head of the five surnames and seven sects, when Emperor Wen of Sui, what a beautiful scenery, but at the end of the emperor, because he was involved in the battle for succession, the Cui family suffered a devastating blow in the end.
Whether it is the Guanlong wealthy family or the Guandong clan, in fact, they are all the same, they are indeed famous in normal times, but it is just as dangerous if they really touch the emperor's scales.
Li Mu of the Eight Pillars Country, the largest gate valve in the early Sui Dynasty, has more than 500 children in a family with official bodies, all over the government and the opposition.
But if you don't, it's gone.
Cui's family, the head of the five surnames, at that time, the family of Cui Junxuan, the prince of Dongjun, was not dismissed from official exile, and their property was confiscated, and the female dependents entered the court.
Later, it was Yang Guang who favored the Cui family and gave the Cui family a turnover guy.
But today, Qinghe Cui is not the head of the five surnames, and even Boling Cui is far inferior.

The five surnames and seven sects are not monolithic, not to mention that even if they are monolithic, the five surnames and seven sects are like those big clans in the countryside, and they are indeed powerful in the countryside.
But the royal family, in fact, is just like the kind of country nouveau riche, and even the hooligan nouveau riche.
The big family really looks down on this kind of outbreak in their bones, and usually the outbreak household has to take care of the reputation of these big clans.
But if you really want to anger this nouveau riche hooligan, in fact, it is these big clans who suffer.
Because, there is no solution for the nouveau riche to play hooliganism.
The Zheng family is now the leader of the north, but they are unwilling and dare not wrestle with the Li family, who has already sat firmly in the country.
There is no point, and the best result is just a lose-lose situation.
If Li Shimin has to be cleaned, then the Zheng family will definitely not sit still, and will definitely have to do their best to fight with Li Shimin.
But now, since Li Shimin is willing to put aside the past and talk about future cooperation, the Zheng family is of course satisfied.
"Uncle, I know that you have a fifteen-year-old cousin in your family, who is well-read and quite educated."
Zheng Shanguo was a little stunned.
How can this be so familiar, isn't this what he said not long ago when he was ordered by the prince to go to the Li family to propose marriage "San Lang wants to accept the daughter of the Zheng family as a wife" Zheng Shanguo deliberately pretended not to understand the meaning of the words and asked.
"No, I have married my uncle and niece, Thirteen Niang, and the relationship between the two is also very good."
"What's the matter, you are an extraordinary husband and wife, and now you are the first product of the dignified Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and you are also the Duke of Zhao Guogong, and there are 1,800 first-class meritorious heroes. is so young, it is normal to have a few concubines.
My Wan Niang is fifteen this year, and the relationship with the thirteenth cousin is also very good, I am the master, our two families are close to each other, let the marriage to your family to be a wife" Li Chao was dumbfounded.
This Zheng Shanguo is also too hard.
"Uncle, what kind of person is the cousin of the Zheng family, that is the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, although it is not from her uncle, but her mother is also from everyone."
"I think San Lang is very good, if Wan Niang marries you, it will be her blessing."
Li Chao really had nothing to say, he believed that Zheng Shanguo knew very well what he had just mentioned Cousin Zheng's intentions, he wanted to marry the Zheng family for Li Shimin.
Although Li Shimin can let go of the relationship between the Zheng family and Jiancheng in the past in order to stabilize his position, if the Zheng family marries his daughter to Li Shimin, wouldn't the Zheng family be more trusted by Li Shimin.
But what he said was so obvious, but Zheng Shanguo pretended not to know, and had to forcibly match him with Cousin Zheng.
Li Chao has never seen Cousin Zheng, but he heard that Cousin Zheng is indeed a very good girl, educated, good-looking, and talented.
Such a girl, Li Chao never thought of accepting it, the concubine of the Zheng family, that is not an ordinary concubine.
"Uncle, I don't have such a blessing to marry Cousin Zheng, in fact, I want to match up and introduce a good marriage to Cousin Zheng, and I also think about the Zheng family.
Uncle, what do you think of Cousin Zheng's marriage to King Qin?"
Zheng Shanguo couldn't imagine that Li Chao had to pierce this layer of paper, and said helplessly at the moment, "The Zheng family originally married a Guanyin to the prince, and now they don't want to marry a Wanyan to the new prince." ” "Why, if you marry a daughter to the prince, the Zheng family will change to the prince's boat in the future, which is a great good thing for the Zheng family."
"I admit that the prince has the ability, but the imprisoned father and brother usurped the throne and seized power" These words were a little unkind, Zheng Shanguo actually looked down on Li Shimin, and Li Chao was a little speechless.
"It's good to keep some things in my uncle's heart, don't talk about it to the second person in the future."
The Zheng family refused to marry a daughter to Li Shimin and said such things, if it reached Li Shimin's ears, he was afraid that Li Shimin's teeth would itch to hate, even if he didn't engage in the Zheng family, he would definitely not be good to the Zheng family in the future.
"Uncle think about it again."
"San Lang, you also think about one or two."
The two looked at each other.
After a while, Zheng Shanguo proposed a workaround, "Wanyan also has a sister named Wanrong, who is also a concubine, so it is better for me to give Wanrong to the prince and give Wanyan to you." ” In a famous family like the Zheng family, there are generally a lot of concubines, and some people may marry very late, but they have already accepted a lot of concubines before officially marrying a wife, and even the children may be in their teens.
Anyway, in this case, it's also called a fiancé.
The wives of the men of the big families are basically from high backgrounds, and they have to marry those famous women who are in the right family, and if they are not suitable for a while, they will wait.
Of course, in the process of waiting, they will take concubines, and even if they marry their wives and enter the door, they will continue to take concubines.
It is too common for a famous man to have a dozen or twenty children.
Zheng Shanguo has a lot of children, but the concubines are all married, and there are a few unmarried concubines, among which Wanyan's mother is higher, Wanrong's mother is lower, the two are of similar age, one is fifteen and one is sixteen, Wanyan is stronger than Wanrong in all aspects.
But now, Zheng Shanguo would rather marry this favored concubine to Li Chao as a concubine than marry Li Shimin as a concubine, and in the end there was no way, and he would rather allow another concubine to Li Shimin, and still insisted on giving Wanyan to Li Chao as a concubine.
"Wouldn't it be better to find a scholar for Cousin Wanyan and marry her to be a wife?"
"I think it is better for the Li and Zheng families to marry, and it is better to be close to each other.
Marry you gently, don't worry about the eldest woman in the past, Thirteen Niang will never be harsh on her. ” The marriage of the Li and Zheng families, Zheng Shanguo felt that it was necessary, and the nephew and son-in-law were always closer than the son-in-law.
"Uncle is really not joking," Li Chao asked.
"Of course not, I'm serious."
