I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

But it was the officials who were most interested in the newspapers.

They don't know anything else, but they do know one thing, that is, once something important happens, this may be the most authoritative news.

And at the same time, if you're smart enough, you'll be able to see a little hint of what's coming up here.

After all, everyone knows that some things and policies must be blown out before they are actually implemented, but the vast majority of people cannot reach the level of being blown up.

So what to do, then you have to find a way to find news from the newspapers.After all, this is already the most reliable channel they can get in touch with.

Therefore, after each issue of the newspaper is published, there will always be some people who call themselves "bright eyesight" and will hold a newspaper and talk about it, telling everyone the "deep meaning" they see from it.

That feeling seems to be no different from the magic stick.

But let alone, there are really many people here, and the analysis is quite accurate.

After all, whether it is Li Shimin or the big bosses in the court, the purpose of arranging those articles in the newspaper is really to let everyone receive the news vaguely in advance, so that they can be mentally prepared when the time comes.

As a result, Datang Daily has become a must-have reading material for everyone in Datang official circles, and its importance is increasing day by day. After all, a reading material that can relieve boredom and is related to future promotion and salary increase Reading materials, that concept is completely different.

Datang people who are becoming more and more familiar with the routines of Datang Daily, this time they are sensitive to the troubles in Datang Daily today.

Even though the grades were not high, several veterans who had spent half their lives in the officialdom, after reading today's newspaper, their first feeling was not to watch the excitement, but instinctively felt that something big was about to happen.

They are not political masters, let alone wise men with great wisdom, but their experience in the past tells them that there may be a big hole buried in it, but it is definitely not aimed at small shrimps like them.

But even so, they still feel hairy in their hearts. It's not a new thing for these big guys to bring trouble to Chi Yu when they fight each other.

They are not the only smart people. Many people can see that what Wei Zhengwei wrote this time is obviously a drunkard's intention, but they have no idea who the target is.

However, this does not prevent them from being honest these days.

At the same time, I don't know how many people focused their attention on Lantian City, because they felt that His Majesty suddenly arranged for Wei Zheng to praise His Highness King Qin so suddenly, is there any important news released there?

Or is he planning to kill a few people in the name of His Highness King Qin who is not at home?

Everyone was just sullenly guessing, but no one thought about asking for something. They were not fools. They knew clearly that those who should know already knew it now, but they didn't know a word. speak out.

For those who don’t know, then you are not qualified to know at this time. Even if you ask, I’m afraid you will get false news. It’s better to just wait and see how the situation develops.

Of course, these things and psychological changes are aimed at those smart officials. In the eyes of ordinary people, this report is not about conspiracy and tricks, but the promotion of the rule of law. It is telling the public not to be afraid of those dignitaries. , Datang's laws can protect every citizen of Datang.

Not to mention, this kind of report is really effective for these low-level people.

At least quite a few people, especially those who were already cornered, suddenly broke out and rushed to the court without hesitation.

From their point of view, even His Royal Highness King Qin would obey the law honestly and follow the rules, so what the hell are other people?

They didn't expect the emperor to abide by these laws. After all, even the laws require the emperor's nod. How could it be possible to restrict an emperor? Just come, as for obeying the law?

What's the matter, anyway, the emperor doesn't come to the streets very often, so it doesn't matter if he obeys or not!

And when these people outside were spreading the rumors but didn't know the specific situation, the real instigator of this incident, His Majesty the Emperor of Datang, was sitting in his seat with his chin in his hand, looking at this idiot in front of him in a daze.

Cheng Yaojin has been babbling for a long time, but His Majesty, who is usually very easy to raise his hand to let go, now seems to have not heard it at all, just sitting there with eyes like looking at a little mouse I watched with great interest.

But let's see, can you tell me what to do with the old man's nephew?

In fact, it's funny to say that this matter is actually a joke. A nephew of the old Cheng family got drunk in the restaurant of the Pei family, and the Pei family is Mrs. Cheng's natal family. Naturally, he knew this young master. It's just a trivial matter, so it's fine to send it back.

But this young master doesn't drink very well, and he starts to riot after getting drunk, and it's the kind that the more others persuade him, the more noisy he gets.

If it's just like this, it's fine, anyway, it's not that I can't afford to make a little joke about the property of my relatives, right?

But this young man who is so alive has been disturbed from the restaurant to the street outside the door. A few good-hearted young people saw this drunk man and kindly helped him, but this kid gave him a slap in the face. fist.

Well, they are all young and energetic, how could they be so angry, so naturally they have to fight back.

Then he was caught by the patrol team.

What happened was very clear, but the young master of the Cheng family was in big trouble, because he was the starting point of everything, and the procuratorate had taken some wrong medicine, so he had to file a lawsuit against him.

After this matter went to Cheng Yaojin's place, this well-known idiot didn't realize that he had caused trouble at all, instead he ran to get someone carelessly.

In the old Cheng family, his education is so simple. The old Cheng family will never commit any serious crimes such as rebellion and murder. .

These words created the style of the old Cheng family's incarnate devil king, but today, it seems that it is a bit difficult to use!

Chapter 904 Old Cheng is a Sensible Person

Cheng Yaojin first went directly to the court without hesitation. Although he was reckless and naive, he was actually a careful person.

He first went to the court to ask if the case had been filed, to see if it was a big case, because he was afraid that his nephew would not tell him the truth, and would keep silent if something big happened.

But when he went to the court to ask, he directly explained to him that it was a small problem before, but he refused to agree with Cheng Yaojin to get rid of it.

After making a fuss for a while, Lao Cheng felt a little boring, so he turned around and went to the procuratorate, thinking that if the court didn't give Lao Cheng face, then it would be no problem to withdraw the lawsuit here.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin, who is used to running rampant on weekdays, really hit the iron plate this time. The procuratorate let Lao Cheng be soft and hard in all kinds of ways, anyway, he would not let go of his mouth anyway, and instead wanted to kill the old man. The face of the Cheng family's children.

Lao Cheng is worthy of being considered by both Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo as the person who lives the most clearly in the court, and he is the one who is bold, careful and cheeky.

Obviously, when this kind of thing has reached this point, most people either go directly to Li Shimin or stop talking, but Lao Cheng is not. He directly finds one of his own children who are lawyers, and carefully asks about the handling of the case.

There are quite a few direct and collateral descendants of the old Cheng family. Under the pressure of old Cheng, not to mention a few great talents, it is true that each has their own strengths.

At least this son of the Cheng family who is a lawyer has a good reputation in the lawyer industry, and he can be regarded as doing well.

After seeing this case, he directly told Cheng Yaojin,

"Uncle, don't go looking for someone. You are obviously arranged by His Majesty. No one but Your Majesty has the ability to force the procuratorate and the court to do this!"

"Even if this kind of small case is committed by a civilian, it will not be brought to the court. After all, the punishment is like that. The police can deal with it directly, and it is not enough to go to the court!"

"But this time the procuratorate and the court are uncharacteristically trying to mess with our family, so it's clear that they want to make an example of others. Our family is that chicken!"

"But it's okay. Your Majesty probably has some ideas. Anyway, even if this matter is sentenced, it will be nothing more than half a year in prison, and nothing else will matter!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded with a serious expression, but he kept thinking about it in his heart.

He very much agrees with his nephew's judgment, His Majesty is definitely going to use someone as a method, although he doesn't know who the target is, but his nephew was definitely killed as a chicken this time, although the consequences are not particularly serious, but After all, it still has some impact.

Then how can we make up for the losses we suffered?

If ordinary people definitely don't have such an idea, but who is Cheng Yaojin? He is the one who can disturb three points for no reason. Now it is Li Shimin who took the initiative to attack his nephew, so he has to find a way to get something back just work.

Even if His Majesty owes you favors or something.

This is Cheng Yaojin's way of life. If it is other officials, when they find out that His Majesty is using his own children, they must pretend that they don't know, and they have to cooperate well, so that His Majesty can remember their own. alright.

But Cheng Yaojin was different, he turned around and ran into the palace to make trouble.

Moreover, it was the kind of quarrel directly in front of Li Shimin. What he said was full of tears. Those who didn't know thought that his son-in-law had a big accident and was about to be killed by Li Shimin.

From Cheng Yaojin's point of view, this time he came here to remind Li Shimin in his own way, to prove that he knew about it, I don't care who you plot against, but I want benefits!

This is actually the reason why Cheng Yaojin has been able to thrive in front of Li Shimin for many years, becoming the most favored and trusted one among the generals in the army, that is, everything is on the table.

It seems to be similar to Zhang Nuo's approach!

But Cheng Yaojin is a little different, that is, every time he always has to show some of his "little shortcomings", such as wealth, title, food and so on, anyway, no matter what Li Shimin gives, but more or less Give some, or we will continue to make trouble.

If Cheng Yaojin belongs to the kind of "greed" who wants everything but is keenly grasping the speed, then Zhang Nuo belongs to the kind who doesn't like anything so he doesn't want anything "arrogant"!

Anyway, the final result is that these two people have a high status with Li Shimin.

But Cheng Yaojin's very effective moves in the past seemed a bit wrong today. Li Shimin didn't seem to be impatient at all, and just looked at him like a monkey.

Lao Cheng couldn't pretend anymore today, he looked at Li Shimin with a mournful face and said,

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of the old minister, it's not enough for the old minister to admit defeat this time!"

Li Shimin frowned,

"Hey, Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of the world, can still admit it, but you can't, you just quit doing it because it's not good for you, just keep going!"

Cheng Yaojin knew it when he heard this. It seems that this time he really hit the iron wall. He doesn't know what His Majesty is thinking, but it is definitely not because of his nephew's little problem.

It's just because there are too many things involved in the middle that His Majesty will not let go of the small case of his nephew.

Lao Cheng has no other ideas now, and he doesn't talk about the benefits. He just thinks that it would be good if he can get away. Anyway, it's only half a year since his nephew died, so he will say hello and take care of him when the time comes. Come on, it's really not a big deal.

Old Cheng is a sensible person. He clearly knows that His Majesty's target is definitely not himself, so his nephew must have been killed as a chicken, and he even vaguely guessed that his nephew might not be the only chicken.

Li Shimin saw that Cheng Yaojin had finally calmed down, and nodded with a smile. Old Cheng was very good at this, that is, knowing the current affairs.

"Old Cheng, don't think about your nephew's affairs. I plan to eliminate the rule of law this time, and the focus is on Xungui. I won't recognize you when you leave the door!"

"However, you idiot have been making trouble for so long, and I can't let you come in vain. This time, it might affect your reputation a little bit, so I'll give you some news, and I'll pay you back a little favor!"

"Old minister dare not!"

At this time, Cheng Yaojin didn't look like he was arguing just now, but he said firmly what he didn't dare to admit, because he knew that sometimes some things just didn't make sense.

However, Li Shimin was obviously not joking, but was really returning Cheng Yaojin's favor, and he said very calmly,

"Tell those two brats in your army to be more honest. After finishing the outside affairs, I have to go to the army to investigate!"

Chapter 905 Public Opinion Begins to Ferment

When Cheng Yaojin heard Li Shimin's words, he knew that he didn't come in vain this time, and today's farce was not in vain. It can even be said that he made a lot of money.

Lao Cheng himself is a veteran in the army, and he clearly knows that everyone in the army seems to be a good guy who is loyal and advances together, but in fact, if he really followed the legal requirements, I don't know how many people would be confused fall.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about corporal punishment and physical violence. Under normal circumstances, such things as kicking the buttocks are definitely ignored by the military law. Even the superiors will encourage those officers who lead the troops to keep themselves in front of the soldiers. majesty.

But sometimes, people are easily excited, and this excitement can make things go wrong.

In the army, there are a lot of such things. It is obvious that it is only a sparring, but it is too heavy. What a lesson, the recruits who have joined the army can be confiscated. There are not too many such things.

Men in the army basically disdain to deal with people with their mouths, and they are best at being straightforward.

Therefore, sometimes when you are emotional, once you confiscate your hands, there will really be problems.

The military does turn a blind eye to the lowest level of corporal punishment, but it is a clear violation of military law to cause serious injuries or even disability or even death to people.

This happens especially to those generals!

Because they themselves have received this kind of education since they were young, and their parents also used sticks and paddles to teach them to learn all kinds of skills.

In their view, since you are in the army, you have to abide by the rules in the army. What are the rules in the army, that is, the superior and inferior and the strong respect.

Even after the reform of the army, this kind of thinking has actually been prevailing all the time, but Zhang Nuo suppressed it several times before.

After all, what Zhang Nuo emphasized was the discipline and obedience of the army, but he didn't want to turn this kind of thing into a tool for the superiors to suppress and bully the subordinates.

That's why in the end there was that strict military law!

But before, everyone might not have paid much attention to this. After all, in the military, the most important things are abilities and military achievements. If you can let go of some things, let them go.

But hearing what Li Shimin said today, Cheng Yaojin sweated immediately. Although his eldest son and second son are still in the army and have not returned yet, there is not much communication between father and son on weekdays.

But if you think about your family's "family background", you know, I'm afraid these bastards will not be too honest in the army. If His Majesty doesn't remind them in advance this time, they might hit the muzzle of the gun.

Lao Cheng has been with Li Shimin for almost 20 years. Of course, he knows Li Shimin's temper. He knows that if the two boys in his family really commit crimes, they might be hung on the wall by accident.

So this time, Lao Cheng didn't smile any more. Instead, he bowed and saluted Li Shimin in a respectful and serious manner, and then he said goodbye and left.

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin and nodded secretly. It seemed that Old Cheng finally understood, and the rest of the matter would be easy to handle.

In fact, Li Shimin never thought of using Cheng Yaojin's nephew to make an example of others. He has a lot of candidates to choose from. There is no need to start with Cheng Yaojin. Here come the moths.

But judging from the current situation, the trial of Cheng Yaojin's nephew seems to have a better effect than other candidates. After all, who doesn't know that Cheng Yaojin is his favorite here?

With the example of Cheng Yaojin here, then the second step of the plan must be no problem, but when considering the third step, is there anything else to be done?

Li Shimin frowned and thought about it carefully, and finally went to the back and changed his clothes, then called the servant out of the palace and went straight to Lantian City.

Although Zhang Nuo and Li Chengqian are not here in Lantian City today, others will forget him but not. In fact, there is still a real boss staying in Lantian City.

Li Shimin knew the way, walked in without saying hello, looked at the energetic old man in front of him and said with a smile,

"Father, there is something I need to discuss with you!"

Li Yuan looked at this bastard who had snatched his throne and killed several of his other sons. Even though it had been several years, he still felt a little uncomfortable, and he became very angry when he spoke.

"Just talk and fart if you have something to do, who made you the emperor now!"

Li Shimin was indeed so stunned by Li Yuan's words that he didn't know how to reply, but thinking about the purpose of coming today, he still honestly didn't go back, but licked his face to add to the old man who was sitting at home drinking tea at noon. Had a cup of tea.

The servant who followed Li Shimin had already consciously stood outside, and even took away the servant who was originally serving Li Yuan inside.

He knew very well that His Majesty must have something important to discuss with the Supreme Emperor, so it is better to stay away at such a time, after all, the more you know, the sooner you will die.

What exactly Li Shimin and Li Yuan talked about inside, I am afraid that no one in this world knows, after all, apart from the two parties involved, there is no one else present.
