Xiao Jiading thought to himself that Du Dayin came here really was an old fox. He had not been in vain for so many years in the yamen. He could see the key to the problem at a glance. Tang Sima recommended him about this matter, and Chief Wen had already told him in the torture room, and the yamen would definitely spread soon. Anyway, if he didn't say it, he would know later. He smiled humbly and said, "It's Tang Sima of the government office."

Du Dayin was surprised and said, "Sima Tang? He used to be the Minister of Justice! With his recommendation, let alone the county magistrate, even the governor would not give him face."

When Xiao Jiading heard this, he couldn't help but feel aroused, and immediately remembered someone, Tang Lin! Could it be that the Tang Sima who painted the painting was Tang Lin, the Minister of Justice who participated in the formulation of the "Yonghui Commentary" in the Tang Dynasty?

Xiao Jiading specializes in the history of legal system, and Tang Lin is one of the participants in the "Yonghui Rules" written based on "Yonghui Rules"! He is a figure in the history of the Tang Dynasty's legal system, so Xiao Jiading naturally knows that the reason why he did not equate the Tang Lin who pretended to be a fool and used other people's calligraphy and paintings with Tang Lin who compiled "Yonghui Rules" was mainly because the latter was a dignified Minister of Justice, which was equivalent to the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the Minister of Justice, half of the Central Committee and half of the President of the Supreme Court. He was one of the national leaders and was too famous. This one in Yizhou was just a Sima, and was only a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee without real power, with a very different level. He thought he had the same name. He didn't expect it to be the same person.

My little baby Ya Niang actually knew such a big shot. It must have been Ya Niang who told him about his affairs and asked him to help. Hehe, I didn’t expect that things would be like this. I have to say that my luck is so good.

Xiao Jiading felt very happy, but his face was not revealed, but he smiled mysteriously and did not answer Du Dayin's words.

Du Dayin's expression of looking at Xiao Jiading suddenly became complicated, and even mixed with a slap in the jailed smile formed by the yamen clerk for many years, saying: "Brother Xiao, come into the house quickly, please sit down! Erniu, hurry up and prepare the cake, bait and fruit!"

Du Erniu quickly agreed and glanced at Xiao Jiading for some reason. She was young and a woman, and she didn't know what it meant. But from the changes in grandfather's attitude, he felt the mystery.

Xiao Jiading followed Du Dayin into the house and sat down in the main hall. Du Dayin called another middle-aged woman, but Du Erniu's mother, who was as chubby and very rich as Du Erniu. Du's mother did not hear what they had just said and did not know the inside story, so she looked at Xiao Jiading with a kind look with a taste of scrutiny, as if she was observing her future son-in-law.

Du Erniu came up with a fruit plate. At this time, ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty did not waste their punishments and drink tea. There was no saying that the guests came and they were serving the fruit plates.

Xiao Jiading was still recalling Du Dayin's words just now, suddenly remembering something and asked, "Who is our governor of Yizhou?"

Du Dayin immediately expressed his solemn expression and said, "Our governor of Yizhou is also appointed by the governor of the Great Governor's Office. The governor commands ten states including Yizhou. This master is the elder brother of the current emperor, King of Shu, Shangli and Li Xiake."

(In fact, King Shu was the title of Li Ke in his early years. In the third year of Yonghui, he was actually King Wu. He wrote unofficial history and did not ask that everything matched the official history. Please let the Fang family laugh it off.)

Xiao Jiading's eyes widened: "Li Ke?"

A series of film and television images such as "The Long Song of Zhenguan" popped up in front of him. Xiao Jiading has watched these TV series and is very familiar with Li Ke. Li Ke is a tragic figure, and can be said to be the most capable of Li Shimin's sons. Chairman Mao once commented on Li Ke as a "bride" and deeply regretted that Li Shimin did not make him a prince. Li Ke's tragedy is also here.

At that time, there were three people who were most competitive for the inheritance of the throne, all of whom were born to Li Shimin's late wife, Empress Changsun, one was the crown prince Li Chengqian, one was the fourth son Li Tai, and the other was the ninth son Li Zhi. Crown Prince Li Chengqian fought fiercely with Li Tai. Li Shimin was afraid that the Xuanwu Gate incident would repeat the same mistake, so he chose Li Zhi, who was actually weak in character and was not suitable for being the emperor. It was precisely because of this personality that Li Shimin believed that he would succeed the throne in the future and would not attack his two brothers, which would avoid the tragic fratricide. This choice was strongly supported by the extremely ambitious first powerful minister of the dynasty, the elder brother of Empress Changsun Wuji, the beloved wife of Emperor Li Shimin.

The reason why Changsun Wuji supported the youngest, weak-hearted Li Zhi as the crown prince among his three nephews, was a wise man who wanted to be Cao Cao and used the emperor to command the world. The wise Li Shimin was a little confused and adopted his opinion. In the end, Li Zhi became the emperor. Changsun Wuji, who had the merits of support, naturally became the emperor behind the scenes. After Li Zhi became emperor for only two years, Changsun Wuji used the brainless Princess Gaoyang to make a trick, and immediately expanded it into a political rebellion case, which was called the "Fang Yiai Rebellion Case" in the later generations, and Li Ke became a victim.

Although Li Ke was born to Li Shimin's beloved concubine Yang (daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui Li Guang), Li Shimin admired him very much, saying that he was both civil and military, and was most like himself among all his sons. Therefore, after Li Shimin avoided Li Chengqian and Li Tai's brothers and sisters, he made nine sons Li Zhi the crown prince, he regretted it again and wanted to make Li Ke the crown prince. This was firmly opposed by Li Zhi's uncle Changsun Wuji. Li Shimin once pointed out incisively: "Do you oppose Li Ke as the crown prince because he is not your nephew?" Despite this, under Changsun Wuji's insistence, and under the influence of his dead beloved wife, Empress Changsun, Li Shimin retreated.

Because of this incident, Li Ke, who almost became the crown prince, naturally hated and feared Changsun Wuji. This emotion was naturally seen by the scheming Changsun Wuji. So, after Princess Gaoyang was tortured, Changsun Wuji volunteered to serve as the presiding judge, thus upgrading to a case of rebellion. As an opportunity to eradicate dissidents, he brought many dissidents into it. The first person was Li Ke, who was disliked by him.

Among the list of executions listed by Changsun Wuji, Li Ke was included. Li Zhi, who valued feelings very much, wanted to save his brother's life and asked Changsun Wuji to let him go, but was rejected by Changsun Wuji. Li Ke died tragically.

This history is seen from film and television dramas and novels. He doesn't know what year it happened, but only remembers that it was shortly after Li Zhi became emperor. That is to say, the great governor of Yizhou and the governor of Yizhou were afraid that his life would not last long.

Seeing that Xiao Jiading's face was unstable, Du Dayin was a little surprised, so he found a topic casually, trying to get rid of Xiao Jiading's thoughts and asked: "Where is Xiao Zhiyi living? I will take Erniu to visit you in the future."

Xiao Jiading quickly returned to normal. The royal affairs were related to his own affairs. When he was worried about what he was doing, he restrained his mind and said, "Live in the yamen for the time being. However, I want to rent a house outside. After all, it is too inconvenient to live in the yamen. The yamen must be locked at night."

Du Da looked at him interestingly: "Why, you are the county magistrate's clothes, and you still have to rent a house? Isn't that a joke! I'll spread the news that you want to buy a house. I promise you that within ten days, you will definitely be able to buy a very cheap and very good house."

"Oh? No?"

"No? Of course, if you are just a county magistrate, it is unlikely that someone will curry favor with you like this. However, there is also a judicial office behind you. Sima, who used to be the Minister of Justice and a big celebrity around the emperor, said, is this weight enough?"

"But, Sima is now demoted, and Sima is a free job and has no real power. Do you need to buy his account like this?"

Du Dayin sighed and said, "You don't know much about the court. The reason why many officials were demoted was actually just that the emperor was angry for a moment. When the anger disappeared, he would naturally be restored to his post. Some of them did not annoy the emperor at all. The emperor demoted him for various purposes and would be restored to his post as soon as the time came. Who would not know about Tang Lin in the court? As early as when the emperor was the crown prince, he had a close relationship with the emperor, so when the emperor succeeded to the throne, Tang Lin was just a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The emperor was first in the rank of the emperor and immediately promoted him to the Minister of the Dali Temple! Then he was promoted to the Censorate, and then he became the Minister of Justice and Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu! In just one year, he was promoted to three levels. What do you think he had a relationship with the emperor?"

The Minister of Personnel is equivalent to the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, but a first-level procuratorate was added before, which means agent. That is to say, before Emperor Gaozong of Song succeeded to the throne, Tang Lin was only at the fourth-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level high-level imperial court, and only one year has passed! From this we can see that he is really a big celebrity in front of the emperor.

In fact, Xiao Jiading, who studied the history of the legal system, had known that among the emperors of all dynasties, the current emperor, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, was one of the emperors who paid the most attention to law. During his reign, he organized more than a dozen legal experts such as Changsun Wuji to formulate the "Yonghui Law" and "Yonghui Law Commentary", which later was called "Tang Law Commentary". Later, it became the legal blueprint for the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. At the same time, it was copied by neighboring countries such as Japan, North Korea, and Vietnam. After simple modifications based on their situation, it was promulgated as their laws, thus forming the Chinese legal system and becoming an internationally influential law.

Because Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi attached great importance to law, he also attached great importance to legal talents. Tang Lin was able to skip three levels in a row, on the one hand because of his personal relationship, and on the other hand, it also showed that Emperor Li Zhi attached great importance to legal talents.
