Chapter 546 The solitary general is the last protection of the people
Just when He Ren, Wang Xianye and Wei Ting were surprised, Li Zhan came to the government office and then gave Ma Zhou a pile of testimony he received in the coal yard. After Ma Zhou finished reading it, he became furious: "These two people are simply beasts...!"
Li Zhan nodded and said, "Yes... I didn't expect that the first time I came down, I would meet such officials. Their crimes were really endless, so I would kill the mess and kill these two beasts.
This time you will have the full record. All contents must be true. Then submit these contents to Your Majesty. Whether it is right or wrong, your Majesty will decide...!"
"I know Your Highness... I will definitely record everything I see." Ma Zhou bowed,
However, he followed Ma Zhou and said, "Your Highness... That Wei Ting is not easy to mess with. His family is very powerful. Even His Majesty must give in. If you imprison him, you may get revenge from him."
"Well... Gu knows, Jingzhao Wei family... But... Gu is not afraid... Gu will not deliberately accompany those aristocratic families just because he is worried about himself. If Gu fights this way, what hope does the people of my Tang Dynasty have?
The wish of the Lonely people is to make the people of the Tang Dynasty fair, the people have their lives, and the aristocratic families have their lives, and they will not invade each other. If your aristocratic family invades the interests of the people, then the Lonely people will be the last protection for the people.
The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people... he will never go back on his word...!"
After Li Zhan finished speaking, Ma Zhou fell to the ground again and shouted loudly: "I am going to bring the people of the world to thank Your Highness, please rest assured. I will always follow Your Highness, and I will die after death...!"
Feeling Ma Zhou's sincerity, Li Zhan quickly helped Ma Zhou up and said, "Ma Qing's heart, Gu knows... In the future, Gu's behavior will also be seen by Ma Qing. If Gu violates his behavior, please record it and let history insult me."
"Ma Zhou dare not...Ma Zhou believes in Your Highness...I will always believe in..." Ma Zhou's tears came out of excitement.
Ma Zhou is a man who is smart and eloquent, and he never once said the memorials that he did not meet Li Shimin's wishes. Li Shimin also said that he "did not see Ma Zhou for the time being, so he would think of it."
By the 18th year of Zhenguan, Ma Zhou had already held two important positions. He was calm and rational in handling things, fair and reasonable, and received many praises.
Later, Ma Zhou was promoted to the Minister of Personnel for his diligence and dedication in the officialdom.
Li Shimin often praised Ma Zhou's style and attitude to his servants, saying that Ma Zhou was loyal, cautious, and evaluating others' ability to speak out. Compared with the others sent by Li Shimin, Ma Zhou was more in line with his wishes.
Li Zhan can get the allegiance of Ma Zhou. To be honest, this is like adding wings to the tiger. With Ma Zhou helping him in the court, Li Zhan will get a lot of help he has.
Of course, Li Zhan was most importantly because Li Zhan's original belief touched him. Ma Zhou was a poor family and a commoner. He understood the cry of the people and knew the difficulties of the poor family.
Li Zhan's words that made the people fair is actually something Ma Zhou has been working hard to do, but it is too difficult for Ma Zhou to be alone, but now Li Zhan has put forward this belief, this belief with his own Yang.
You said how could Ma Zhou not use his life to be loyal to him?
Li Zhan did not expect that he would get such an unexpected surprise!
"General... the person has arrived..." Gao Hu, Xue Rengui, Ouyang Duoduo and Feng Ming came to report together.
After seeing the four people, Li Zhan nodded and said, "Okay... Let's go... Binwang (Ma Zhou's word) Let's go together to find fairness for the people of Dengzhou...!"
"Ma Zhou is willing to go." After saying that, Ma Zhou bowed!
In front of Dengzhou Prefecture... there were nearly 10,000 people coming in total, dense crowds.
After Li Zhan came out, the people present were stunned because no one knew Li Zhan... but Li Zhan came to the people very well and pointed to He Ren and Wang Xianye behind him and asked: "Dear villagers... do you know the two behind me?"
After Li Zhan asked... all the people in Dengzhou were hesitant and dared not speak. However, looking at He Ren and Wang Xianye who were being escorted, some whispers also came out among the people.
But no one dared to speak loudly.
Li Zhan knew that this was fear. These people were all suppressed by He Ren and Wang Xianye, and they had already become slavery... What Li Zhan had to do was liberate the slavery of the people at this time.
Soon...Uncle Lin came on stage... This is the victim.
The bitter Lord Uncle Lin said all his persecution by He Ren and Wang Xianye in tears. These persecutions instantly resonated with the people present, because there were too many of the people who had been bullied by He Ren and Wang Xianye at this time.
After Uncle Lin finished speaking, he started to cry. Even Ma Zhou, who was recording on the side, was moved, let alone those people who empathized with him, some people also started to cry because of Uncle Lin's crying.
Li Zhan stepped forward and helped Uncle Lin and said, "The prince broke the law and the common people... The law of the Tang Dynasty is fair. Today I am here to make the decision for you. Uncle Lin... Don't cry, I will definitely let He Ren and Wang Xianye pay the price they should pay."
Following Li Zhan, he looked at the people again and said, "Today, as long as there is an injustice, I will handle it fairly..."
As soon as Li Zhan finished calling, an old man came out crying and said with a 'plop', kneeling in front of Li Zhan and wailing: "Master Qingtian, the little old man has an injustice, the little old man has an injustice...!"
"Old man, don't do this. If you have any injustice, the Japanese officials will decide for you now." Li Zhan quickly helped the old man up.
After the old man was helped up, he immediately came to He Ren with tears in his eyes and cursed: "He Ren, you dog official, you are a beast official, you go out hunting one day and come to my house. I saw you are an official and boil water for you to rest. Who knew that you fell in love with my daughter-in-law.
Ignoring my grandson who had just turned one year old, I snatched my daughter-in-law away. Seven days later, my daughter-in-law died in the earth circle outside the city. My son was going to sue you, and died on the way to Qingzhou.
I took my grandson and wanted to sue you, but you broke my leg and fell to death my one-year-old grandson.
He Ren, are you still human? The little old man’s good home was ruined by you. Master Qingtian, you have to make the decision for me, otherwise the little old man will die with his eyes open."
As he spoke, the old man knelt down again. After the old man's crying, a large number of people stood up and cried. The victim's crying directly started from day to night.
Li Zhan ordered the porridge and cooking... and then set up a bonfire, and the public trial lasted until midnight.
A total of nearly 100 crimes were listed in He Ren and Wang Xianye. Each crime had one or even several fingerprints from the people, and not only He Ren and Wang Xianye's crimes were listed.
He Ming, the nephew of He Ren, also had dozens of crimes, and they were basically death sentences.
The people in the Wang family are no less than that.
Finally, Li Zhan announced that at noon tomorrow, the 18 people of the He family and the 14 people of the Wang family will behead the rest of the exiled and the detained. As for the property of the He family and the Wang family, all the confiscation will be confiscated, but this confiscation will not belong to Li Zhan.
Instead, Li Zhan will return the property to his original owner based on the facts.
Just like the uncle Lin, the big ships, houses, and land he occupied... as long as they are proven to be facts, they will all be returned to him, which has aroused the thanks from all the people.
After everything was settled, it was already 20 o'clock in the night. At this time, Wei Ting was released, but at this time, Wei Ting no longer had the arrogance of the day.
First, Wei Ting himself saw He Ren and Wang Xianye’s shamelessness with his own eyes.
Secondly, Wei Ting was also bitten by He Ren and Wang Xianye.
Li Zhan just ignored it because Li Zhan was going to move He Ren and Wang Xianye at this time. He didn't want to mix up Wei Ting, so Li Zhan postponed Wei Ting's affairs. He suggested that he hand over these to His Majesty for handling. Li Zhan said he was not qualified to deal with it.
You know, Wei Ting was also worried about Li Zhan's decision. He was very worried that he would be chopped off by Li Zhan, the naughty young man, and he would be extremely unlucky.
That's it... the matter in Dengzhou was almost done. Later, Li Zhan was preparing to ask Li Shimin for someone. Li Zhan hoped to take Changsun Chong to Dengzhou and let Changsun Chong become the governor of Dengzhou. Li Zhan wanted to establish a port and a shipyard here, and also wanted to manage Dengzhou better.
But Li Zhan would not have thought that before he could manage Dengzhou, a problem occurred in Chang'an.

Chang'an Lizheng Hall
Empress Changsun was leaning against the bed. Just as she was having dinner, Empress Changsun was vomiting all the time, so Empress Changsun sent someone to Dunhuafang to invite Sun Simiao to see him.
After a while, Sun Simiao arrived. After seeing Sun Simiao, Empress Changsun immediately said: "Doctor Sun, I don't know why I have been losing appetite recently and vomiting a little, and I am always groggy with my head...!
Please ask Dr. Sun to take a look for me...!"
Sun Simiao smiled and nodded and said, "Okay... Queen Mother, don't worry, please stretch out your right hand, and the old Taoist will present it to Queen Mother No. 1 pulse."
Empress Changsun stretched out her right hand, and Sun Simiao put her hand on Empress Changsun's vein. After a while, Sun Simiao, who was also a little worried, finally smiled and said, "Congratulations to Empress, congratulations, Empress is happy."
"What's the joy in this palace?" Empress Changsun herself became a little confused.
Soon, the news was found out by Li Shimin. When Li Shimin learned that Empress Changsun was pregnant again, he was so happy... He came to Lizheng Hall immediately and asked about Empress Changsun's well-being, but Empress Changsun never gave Li Shimin a good face.
This performance made Li Shimin laugh and said, "Guanyin maid, I know what you want... Do you want to Zhan'er? Don't worry, I will let the Eight Hundred Li fast cavalry and specially recruit Li Zhan back to Chang'an!"
"Really...will you ask Zhan'er to come back and stop fighting the pirates?" Empress Changsun showed a happy expression.
Li Shimin nodded and smiled, "Everyone can fight a pirate. Now that you are pregnant, you are the biggest, so if you want Zhan'er, the eldest son, to be by your side, I will let him come back, okay?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, you are the best for Guanyin maid."
The long-lost Empress Changsun showed her little daughter's expression and acted coquettishly towards Li Shimin. Li Shimin laughed at this time, and then Li Shimin hugged Empress Changsun by his side and said, "You must raise your baby well and give me another prince or princess!"
"Yes...!" Empress Changsun nodded slightly and showed a faint smile.
But when Empress Changsun was warm, in Chengchun Palace, Concubine Wei sighed leisurely and said: "Our kind of flowers and willows are only a tool.
He is pregnant again, but my daughter has no chance to even have a title fight."
After saying that... I sighed again!
