Du Kefa walked into the government office with doubts and saw Wei Zheng sitting upright.
"Lord Wei."
"Lord Du."
After a simple greeting, the two fell silent and sized each other up.
Du Kefa had seen Wei Zheng in the imperial court, but he hadn't observed him carefully.
Wei Zheng had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. His serious expression made his face very solemn, and it made people feel awe.
Wei Zheng.
Official Position: Secretary Supervisor
[Strength: 80]
[Stamina: 80]
Intelligence: 100
Military Strategy: 99
Power: 97
After sizing each other up for a long time, Du Kefa asked,"May I know why Lord Wei has come to the Supreme Court?”
Wei Zheng's voice was as emotionless as his expression. It was steady and without any fluctuations.
"His Majesty has ordered me to assist Sir Du in revising the laws of the Great Tang.”
Wei Zheng didn't tell him about how he had advised Li Shimin not to dismiss Du Kefa.
He didn't need Du Kefa's gratitude. He was just doing what he should do.
Help revise the laws of the Great Tang? "Lord Wei is proficient in the law?" Du Kefa asked.”
Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng shook his head."I don't understand."
"You don't understand?" Du Kefa was shocked.
Wei Zheng was too direct. He said that he didn't understand too confidently.
But you don't understand the laws of the Great Tang, so how can you help?
"Lord Du, do you think I can't help?”Wei Zheng saw Du Kefa frown and asked directly.
How could this question be asked so directly?
Du Kefa was even more surprised. He wasn't familiar with Wei Zheng and this was the first time they had talked. He didn't expect Wei Zheng to ask this.
It was a little difficult to answer.
Du Kefa's thoughts raced, and in the blink of an eye, he came up with a countermeasure."That's right, that's what I think."
Wei Zheng was a straightforward minister and a smart person. Playing tricks in front of him was asking for trouble, so it was better to be straightforward.
The gentleman deceives him with the right method.
Wei Zheng stared straight at Du Kefa for a while, and a faint smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
He admired Du Kefa's straightforwardness.
"Although I don't understand the law, I understand the hearts of the people, know what they think, and know how to revise the law to benefit the people and the Great Tang.”
Du Kefa pondered for a moment." Please speak clearly, Lord Wei.”
"The laws of Great Tang follow the laws of Qin and Han.”
"That's right."
" Qin's laws are cruel, and they will perish after two generations. Han's laws are too lenient. Although there is the rule of Wen and Jing, there will eventually be the disaster of the relatives being officials.
The Northern and Southern Dynasties were in chaos for a hundred years. The Sui Dynasty used cruel methods to unify the world, just like the Qin Dynasty.
Tang law inherited Sui law, Wude years, Gaozu thought the law was too harsh, revised Wude law, but the law was still too harsh.
It was precisely because of this that His Majesty ordered us to rebuild the law.”
Du Kefa stared into Wei Zheng's eyes and said,""Lord Wei believes that the law should be more lenient.”
Wei Zheng nodded." That's right. After the chaos, 70 - 80% of the people have died. They need a relaxed law to recuperate.”
Du Kefa laughed coldly." Lord Wei, are you here to persuade me?”
"What do you mean?"
"I've long heard that Lord Wei is straightforward. If Lord Wei wants to plead on behalf of His Majesty for Dang Renhong, you can just say it directly.”
Wei Zheng suddenly understood and said with his usual expressionless face,"I won't participate in Dang Renhong's corruption case. I was only ordered to revise the law."
Du Kefa looked at Wei Zheng and felt that he was not lying to him."In that case, I will consider your opinion.”
"I will often come to the Supreme Court to discuss the law with Lord Du.”
Wei Zheng spoke about some of his views on the revision of the law, then left without mentioning Dang Renhong.
Was he really not pleading for Dang Renhong? Du Kefa thought to himself as he sent Wei Zheng out of the Supreme Court.
At the door, Wei Zheng suddenly stopped." Lord Du, I'm very pleased that you're able to remonstrate and stick to your duty. I hope that you can always maintain your original heart. I will always be watching over you.”
After saying that, Wei Zheng strode away and got into the carriage, leaving behind a strange Du Kefa.
Is Wei Zheng complimenting me? He probably wanted me to be like him, to talk back to Li Shimin.
This…Should I learn from Wei Zheng?
Du Kefa thought about it seriously for a while, then suddenly shook his head in self-mockery. Forget it. It was very tiring to be Wei Zheng. He did not want to keep a straight face every day, making people afraid and not dare to approach him.
He returned to the government office and thought about Wei Zheng's suggestion.
Du Kefa had already come up with a general framework for how to amend the law. As a transmigrator, there were so many legal provisions that he could refer to.
Of course, he had to consider the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.
As he thought about it, time passed quickly. When he came back to his senses, he saw a familiar servant standing in front of him.
"Grandpa Fu Ma, the princess invites you to the princess manor.”
Du Kefa remembered that this servant was from the princess's manor. He shook his head, which was a little dizzy from thinking, and sat in the carriage to the princess's manor.
Why did Princess Changle look for him?
This was not important. What was important was that she took the initiative to look for him.
His mood instantly brightened up, and he no longer thought about the matter of revising the law.
In the princess's manor, Du Kefa was led by a servant to meet Princess Changle.
When she saw Du Kefa, her face instantly turned red, and she nervously pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers.
Du Kefa admired the princess 'nervous and helpless appearance and thought it was very cute.
"Princess, why are you looking for me?"
Princess Chang Le said anxiously,""I heard that you angered Imperial Father yesterday?”
Du Kefa understood that the princess was worried about him. He smiled and said,"Don't worry, it's just a small matter.”
"But I heard that you were almost fired.”
"How could that be? His Majesty is a wise ruler. Besides, I'm a horse master." Du Kefa also thought that he had been removed from his official position, but he did not need to tell Princess Changle about this.
"Don't make Imperial Father angry again. I'm worried that we..."
Princess Changle was halfway through her sentence when her white teeth gently bit her pale red and delicate lips, and she lowered her head shyly.
She wanted to say that she was afraid that her marriage would be affected, but the shyness of a girl made her unable to continue.
"What are you worried about?" Du Kefa guessed Chang Le's concern and asked deliberately.
"Anyway, don't make Imperial Father angry.”Chang Le looked at Du Kefa, half bashful and half pleading.
"As long as it doesn't affect my duties, I'll do as you say.”
" You..." Princess Chang Le pouted, obviously a little angry.
"Don't worry, I know you're worried about our marriage. His Majesty has already promised us a marriage agreement. No one can leave us.”
Du Kefa walked closer to Princess Chang Le and gently held her moist white hand.
"Hold your hand."
Chang Le wanted to pull back his hand, but after hearing Du Kefa's words, he said in a low voice,""I'll grow old with you."
"Don't worry about me. I know what to do.”Du Kefa gently stroked Chang Le's hair and said gently.
Princess Chang Le's cheeks were red as she stared at Du Kefa's eyes. An invisible electric current was interweaving in the air.
The two hands, one big and one small, held each other tightly.
