Chapter 53: imperial power

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, the emperor’s face showed a pensive look. After a while?, he sighed: “I know that you are eager to lower the demon, but setting up a new institution hastily involves too much. You can recruit them to do things privately, but admit criminals into the court and give them an identity in the system. This kind of thing is unprecedented, shocking the world, and incompatible with etiquette and law.”

Li Chaoge also knew it was difficult, but it was precisely because of the difficulty that she insisted on it. Li Chaoge understood the emperor’s meaning, and the emperor said that she could recruit those people to do things, and as long as it was done, there was no shortage of credits, except that it could not be publicly promoted, the rest was no different. It’s really too eye-catching to let criminals get promoted and jubilated.

However, if there is no subordinate of the Demon Division, what about the commander of the Demon Division? Li Chaoge didn’t want to be the same as in his previous life. She must allow herself to take root in the court, like Dali Temple, Honghu Temple and other places, and become one of the monasteries recognized and promised by the court.

Li Chaoge was a courtier and a king. In her previous life, she was only a nominal ceremony away from the emperor. Li Chaoge understands the emperor’s heart, if he compromises from the beginning, he will only compromise step by step in the future. She must set the bottom line from the beginning.

There are all smart people present, and the words have reached this point, and there is no need to cover up. Li Chaoge straightened his back, sat upright, raised his head and said: “Your Majesty, twenty years after you ascended the throne, the world is Changping, Guotai Min’an, the population of both the East and the West is one million, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty has expanded to the largest in history. Even in the entire history. No one in the Central Plains has a larger land than you. Your credit has been done, but the family still regards you as a display. Five surnames and seven hopes dare to defy the gift of marriage. It is heaven for the royal family to recruit five surnamed women as princesses. Well, they dare to violate the yin and the sun, and even quietly marry their daughters in order to avoid the gift of marriage. The five surnames and seven hopes are clearly declining, and they have no influence in the court? Where do they have the courage? Royal marriage?”

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, the emperor was silent, and the queen also dropped her eyes and did not answer. The eunuchs serving next to him were frightened. They did not expect that Li Chaoge would dare to say such bold words, and quickly reminded: “Princess Sheng Yuan, be careful…”

Li Chaoge raised his eyes and glanced at them. The **** was stopped by the murderous? in Li Chaoge’s eyes, and his voice stopped abruptly. Li Chaoge didn’t worry about the emperor being angry at all? These words she said were not politically correct, but this was what the emperor thought.

Li Chaoge continued: “The family of five surnames is in the wild, they enjoy prestige among the people, but they have no real power? Now they are just a beautiful display. The decline of the five surnames is only a matter of time, so it’s okay for them. But in the court, There are still other aristocratic families who are gesticulating, restricting imperial power everywhere, claiming to rule from the arches, intent on the family and the emperor to share the world. The saint you have done so much, but they turned a blind eye, still holding the posture of Jianning veteran to teach you. Your Majesty. Benevolence and kindness, do not fight with them, but on the side of the bed, how can you allow others to snore? The emperor is appointed to the sky and is the co-master of the world. Mountains, rivers, seas, birds and beasts, five barbarians, and the four states are all ministers of the emperor. The right cannot be coveted by others.”

After Li Chaoge finished speaking in one breath, his emotions became agitated. She took a deep breath, suppressed the fluctuations in her heart, sat upright, and said sonorously: “Sage, drafting an imperial decree needs to go through the school of Zhongshu, the promotion of ministers needs to pass the examination of the official department, and the guard of the capital needs to rely on the state government soldiers. Now, It’s time to build your own eyes and ears.”

The maidservants in the palace had already knelt down, their foreheads pressed against the ground, and they did not dare to breathe. The only ones sitting were Li Chaoge, the emperor and the queen.

Coincidentally, these three are all emperors, and when it comes to the topic of emperor power and the like, they all resonate with each other. After a moment of silence, the queen was the first to break the silence: “Sage, you cannot break or stand. When the Emperor Qin first abolished the enfeoffment of prefectures and counties, it was an unprecedented change. Every pioneering act was unprecedented and unheard of, so he made that person. In order to stay in history. If the saint is not at ease, let them try it for the time being, keep it if it is useful, and withdraw it if it is useless. The saint is the emperor, how to schedule the court, how to arrange government affairs, is it not a matter of your word?”

Among the three, Li Chaoge was inferior, the emperor was gentle, and the first to express his attitude became the queen. Tian Hou is a person with strong energy. After Tian Hou stood in line, the emperor said along the way: “No matter, since you insist, then go and try. But you can’t disturb the people, you can’t make trouble, and it’s necessary to deal with violence and safety everywhere.”

The big stone in Li Chaoge’s heart suddenly fell. She let out a long sigh of relief, raised her hands to her eyebrows, and bowed straight down and said: “Thanks to the Saint Queen. The minister will not insult her life.”

·

The next day, Li Chaoge replaced the complicated undergarment, **** his waist-long hair, took out the long sword that had been idle for a long time, but was still sharp, and strode out of the end gate that symbolized the halt of the female family. Li Chaoge didn’t rush to set off, but went to Dali Temple first.

The issuance of the imperial decree needs to go through the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology. After a complete set of procedures, all the officials in the DPRK should know. Uncharacteristically, the emperor gave a woman a post, letting her take full responsibility for the haunting of the East Capital, and let the temples, guards, and prisons cooperate unconditionally within the scope of their posts.

Li Chaoge also killed the Rakshasa bird before, but it was more of a verbal acceptance, just like the folk Taoist priests revealed the imperial list to kill the demon. The officials call the master the master, but in fact they don’t treat the Taoist priests as their own people. . Including Li Chaoge’s dispatch of the Yu Lin army and Shangyang Palace to kill the demon, the officials thought that Li Chaoge was a princess, and no one opposed it. But this time, Li Chaoge took the imperial decree, kept the file in a serious manner, and handled the case as an imperial minister.

There was a lot of opposition in the three provinces and six ministries, but the indecisive emperor in the past was very persistent this time. He ignored the opposition of his ministers and went through the procedures as quickly as possible. In just one day, the imperial decree and the appointment certificate were completed.

Li Chao singer held the bright yellow imperial decree and swaggered into the door of Dali Temple. The people at Dali Temple had long heard of Princess Shengyuan’s deeds. Not long ago, they were still discussing quietly. They didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, the protagonist of the gossip would come to the door.

The concierge of the Dali Temple hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile: “I don’t know if the princess is coming, there will be a loss to welcome. Princess Shengyuan, why are you coming here?”

Li Chaoge looked around. Lang officials in Dali Temple uniforms came and went. Everyone was holding a high bundle of dossier materials. They walked in a hurry, chanting words, and looked very busy. Everything is the same as Li Chaoge’s previous life.

Except for one person.

Li Chaoge smiled and said leisurely: “Do you have a Si Cheng with the surname Gu? Call him over, I have something to ask.”

The concierge’s smile faded. He glanced over the imperial decree in the singer of Li Chao, where he didn’t understand that this great Buddha came to be unkind. This was a special trip to find fault. I don’t know what Gu Sicheng is? Something provokes her, it’s really unlucky.

The concierge sighed silently for Gu Mingke, smiled again, and said: “Dali Temple does have a surname Gu, but Gu Sicheng is checking the documents in the archives room. The archives room is at the end of Dali Temple, which is a little far away. After a while? I can’t make it. The princess will have to wait for a while, and the minister will go to Gu Sicheng.”

“No need.” Li Chaoge stopped the concierge, nodded his chin, and motioned, “Lead the way ahead, I will find him myself.”

Criminal cases across the country have to be handed over to the Dali Temple for review. After so many years of accumulation, the number of Dali Temple files is astonishing. The doorman opened the door, and a thin layer of ash appeared inside. Li Chaoge stood outside the door, slapped his nose, and slowly stepped into the house.

As far as I look, there are all kinds of scrolls. The bookshelves are as high as the beams, and each wooden grid is filled with scrolls, which are marked by year and geography. Even so, they are still very messy. Li Chaoge took two steps, feeling quite as if there was nowhere to go. The concierge walked inside in a familiar way and shouted, “Gu Sicheng, are you inside?”

The bookshelves were quiet, and there was no movement. The concierge waited for a while, then turned around and said to Li Chaoge: “Princess Shengyuan, Gu Sicheng does not seem to be there. Excuse me, you will come back another day…”

Before he finished speaking, a figure walked out from behind the tall wooden frame. He was wearing a dark blue Dali Temple official uniform with a leather belt around his waist. The clothes were obviously the same as those around him, but when he wore him, he looked jade. Li, Bing Zi Yu Bone, is better than others to see a wall.

Gu Mingke held two scrolls in his hands. He glanced over Li Chaoge and asked calmly, “What’s wrong?”

The concierge opened his mouth to explain, and Li Chaoge stretched out his hand and shook the imperial edict in his palm, and said with a smile: “Gu Sicheng, the saint has an order, and Dali Temple has the full authority to cooperate with my actions.”

Behind the yellow cloth, the red five-clawed flying dragon was extremely conspicuous. Li Chaoge’s arrogance? Yan is particularly arrogant, and Gu Mingke nodded, accepting without a wave of waves: “Okay. What do you want to do?”

The concierge wants to speak again, but has been snatched away by Li Chaoge: “It’s nothing, a little bit of effort. I was ordered to handle the case, but the personnel I needed to handle the case were locked up by Dali Temple. Now, first ask Gu Sicheng to put you in a suspicion. Let Ma Linlang come out.”

Gu Mingke is a person who maintains order, and likewise, he himself observes order extremely. Since it was the emperor’s decree, Gu Mingke didn’t make any comments, and said: “She is in the fifth room of Temple Prison No. A, and the princess invites it.”

The concierge opened his mouth several times without saying anything. He felt that it must be time for him to act, so he took the initiative to walk back and introduced: “Prison A is here. Please come with me. The prison is a bit gloomy, princess. If you don’t get used to it, don’t come in…”

The concierge talked for a long time and found that no one was paying attention to him. When he turned his head, he saw Li Chaoge standing there, without moving at all. She held the imperial decree in her hand, with her arms around her arms, and she looked at Gu Mingke in time. She flicked her finger on the imperial edict, raised her eyes, and looked at Gu Mingke with a smile.

His eyes were full of provocation.

Gu Mingke has a good self-cultivation. He was not irritated, but calmly said: “I’ll lead the way. There is a concierge, I will put these two volumes on my desk, thank you.”

Gu Mingke put down the book and walked by with her sleeves hanging down. Li Chaoge didn’t wait this time. She smiled triumphantly and left behind Gu Mingke. The porter watched the two pass by him, feeling inexplicably that he was too much.

He was so big and stuck here, but he didn’t say a word. Is he transparent?

It is not the first time that Li Chaoge has entered the prison of Dali Temple. She entered the door familiarly, followed Gu Mingke, and walked to Area A. The area where Ma Linlang was imprisoned was different from that of Zhou Shao last time, but the pattern was similar. After a while, they arrived.

There are many people locked up here, they heard footsteps, rushing to the fence, desperately shouting that they were wronged. But when Gu Mingke came in, everyone’s voice stopped abruptly. They silently returned to prison, not daring to make any noise.

Gu Mingke walked through the corridor unimpeded, his posture was calm and unhurried, as if he was not walking in a dark and damp dungeon, but at some coveted banquet. He stopped in front of a cell and said, “This is it.”

In the dark, a thin figure curled up against the corner of the wall with his knees. She is very small, she is only a small ball against the wall. Hearing the movement, she slowly raised her head, her cheeks not as big as the slap of an adult man.

Only her eyes were surprisingly big, and they were a bit scary when placed on her overly thin cheeks. Ma Linlang’s eyes were dark. Seeing the person at the door of the prison, she didn’t have any fluctuations. She was just lethargic? Asked, “Is the execution going to be executed?”

Mo Linlang recognized Gu Mingke. He had been to prison many times and asked about the details of his mother’s death. Although Gu Mingke is indifferent, he is very easy-going and impartial. It stands to reason that Ma Linlang should trust this person, but in fact, on the contrary, Ma Linlang is very afraid of him.

Ma Linlang was born with yin and yang eyes, and was used to seeing people with yin and yang eyes, but every time he saw Gu Mingke, Ma Linlang would feel a strong fear. She didn’t dare to look at Gu Mingke directly. Now that Gu Mingke stopped in front of the prison, Mo Linlang only dared to stare at the ground, distinguishing their location based on Gu Mingke’s clothes.

Even in such a place, Gu Mingke’s clothes are still clean, and he seems to be shining, incompatible with the dirty and dark prison. There was a clicking sound in my ear, followed by a sound of chain collision, and the door opened. Mo Linlang saw that the stilettos backed away, letting the people behind him, and said to her, “No. Come out, someone is looking for you.”

Mo Linlang was surprised and raised his eyes carefully. At the door of the dim prison, two people stood one behind the other, one was Gu Mingke, who was afraid of Mo Linlang, and the other was a woman.

She was dressed in neat Hu clothing, with stunning features and bright eyes. She looked at Ma Linlang calmly, and for many years after that, Ma Linlang remembered this scene deeply.

The woman said: “My name is Li Chaoge. Next, you and I will go.”
