"Dog official died a good death."
"It's all these dog officials who harmed the people."
"The execution is over."
Some officials and soldiers started to clean up the execution platform, and Du Kefa suddenly stood up.
The honor guard appeared outside the execution ground.
The minister of Dali Temple is an important minister of the court. When he goes out, he has an accompanying honor guard.
The guards at the head of the ceremonial procession held up a wooden sign, on which the owner and official position of the ceremonial procession were written.
Behind them were two knights. At the head of the sedan chair were two rows of armed guards, wearing valerian hats, undergarments, white trousers, black boots, and holding Mo knives under their armpits...
Four people carrying the sedan chair
There were a total of thirty-three people in the honor guard team.
Officials above the third grade and officials in the capital hall, the top of the sedan chair is made of silver, and the cover and curtain of the sedan chair are made of black soap. When they are in the capital, there are four sedan chair carriers, and when they leave the capital, there are eight sedan chair carriers.
At this moment, the sedan that Du Kefa was sitting on was a four-man official sedan.
……
Du Kefa sat in the sedan chair, thinking about his next step.
Currently, there were three factions in the royal court that were clearly divided.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji, Yan Liben, and the others were a group of people. They represented the power of the civil officials, as well as the power of the aristocratic families outside of the Preeminent Families.
The other force was the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.
What are the five surnames and seven looks?
The five surnames and seven prestigious families.
The first of the five surnames was the Li surname. The first of the seven prominent families was Longxi, where the Li surname was located.
In the Great Tang, the aristocratic families were deeply rooted, and the Li family's territory was the aristocratic family's territory.
In addition to these two forces, there were the new forces. Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, Dang Renhong, these were all new forces that had risen from the chaos of the world…
……
Du Kefa sat in the sedan chair, planning to visit Princess Chang Le in the princess's manor.
After all, she was his wife, and the two of them were intimate. Although they did not have any deeper actions, they were already in love.
During this period of time, Du Kefa understood a situation.
Among the princesses that Li Shiming conferred, there were Princess Runan, Princess Nanping, Princess Suian…
These three princesses were not the direct descendants of Empress Zhangsun, so regardless of status, they were far inferior to Princess Changle.
However…
Why was there a princess missing?
In the past few days, Du Kefa had discovered that Li Shimin had never conferred the title of Princess Xiang Cheng. According to historical records, Princess Xiang Cheng should be the first princess Li Shimin had given birth to, and her mother was unknown.
If one were to calculate according to age, Princess Xiang Cheng should be over nineteen years old. According to the rules of the Tang Empire's marriage law, she would have already gotten married and had children at nineteen years old.
However, Du Kefa found that Princess Xiang Cheng had never existed in the records of the Supreme Court's historian…
Ever since the historian recorded that after the King of Qin inherited the throne, the first princess was Princess Runan…
Could it be? The Princess of Xiang City in history did not exist at all?
No, Princess Xiang Cheng had left many records in history!
Du Kefa's heart was filled with confusion. However, these things were not within his consideration. He was thinking of holding a banquet in a few days and inviting Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and the others to the Fuma Estate for a drink…
What was officialdom? Even if the court was like fire and water, the officials could still sit together and drink. That was officialdom.
Why is he so shrewd and calculating?
Even if there were thousands of sharp blades in his heart, his face must be full of smiles!
……
Li Shi Min and Zhangsun Wu Ji were sitting across from each other in the Zi Chen Hall. Suddenly, Li Shi Min raised his head to look outside the hall and asked,""When is it?"
"Your Majesty, it's already past noon." Zhangsun Wuji knew what Li Shiming was thinking.
"Sigh!" Li Shimin sighed." Assistant, why is Dang Renhong so arrogant? How many local officials in the Great Tang were like Dang Renhong?”
Zhangsun Wuji's heart turned cold as he stood up and reported,""Your Majesty, there is only one Dang Renhong in the Great Tang.”
"Zhen also hopes so." Li Shi Min felt an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.
After executing Dang Renhong, Du Kefa suddenly became relaxed.
In his spare time, he asked the butler to take him to see his fertile farmland. The fertile farmland was given to him by the Emperor when he was the son-in-law. He thought it was only a hundred acres, but when he arrived, he found out that there were ten hectares of fertile farmland. One acre of land was fifty acres, and ten acres of land was five hundred acres.
Such a large piece of land was enough for Du Kefa to live his entire life without worry.
Du Kefa found the most experienced old farmer. In the next few days, Du Kefa went back and forth between Chang 'an and the fertile fields, watching the old farmer plant the seeds, fertilize them, and water them according to his instructions.
Five hundred acres of fertile land, all the harvest would belong to Du Kefa. After paying a fixed amount of taxes, all the harvest would belong to Du Kefa.
Seeing that the farmers were doing well, Du Kefa reduced the frequency of his visits to the farm and continued to focus on revising the new laws.
The trial of Dang Renhong's corruption case would be of great help to Du Kefa's revision of the law. Wei Zheng and Li Jing came to the Supreme Court from time to time to discuss with each other. The revision of the law went smoothly.
……
For more than ten days, Du Kefa had been busy with the crops, as if he hadn't seen Princess Changle for a long time. On this day, he left the Supreme Court and took a sedan chair to the princess's manor.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him. Then, the ceremonial sedan stopped.
" There's an assassin. Protect my lord."
Assassin? Who dares to assassinate me? Hou Junji's men or the remnants of Dang Renhong?
Du Kefa's martial arts were now very powerful, so he naturally wouldn't sit around and wait.
As soon as he got out of the sedan chair, he saw the guards surrounding a girl.
Du Kefa looked at the girl in front of him in astonishment.
Was this an assassin?
A delicate female assassin?
He looked at the female assassin carefully and saw that she was wearing white mourning clothes.
If you want to be beautiful, you must be filial. Under the white mourning clothes, the woman's waist was even more exquisite.
Such a delicate girl couldn't threaten him no matter how he looked at her. Du Kefa waved his hand and ordered the guards to retreat. He looked down and asked,"Miss, why did you stop my palanquin?"
The lady raised her head slightly and looked at Du Kefa. She cupped her hands and said,""I beg Du Qingtian to seek justice for my daughter.”
Du Kefa was stunned. Firstly, it was because of what the lady had said. Secondly, it was because of how the lady addressed him. Thirdly, Du Kefa saw her delicate and pretty face when she looked up.
Du Qingtian? Was this a compliment?
It seemed that he had severely punished Dang Renhong and won the praise of the people.
"What grievances do you have? Raise your head and speak."
"My mother was abandoned by a heartless man. I want to sue him!”
"Oh, then do you know the name of the heartless man who abandoned your mother?”Du Kefa asked.
The young lady suddenly raised her head and looked at Du Kefa with a determined gaze. At the same time, her next sentence was like a thunderbolt that struck everyone, causing them to be dumbfounded."That person is in Chang 'an! He was the Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Shi Min! My daughter wants to tell the emperor that she abandoned her wife and daughter! Obliteration of conscience! His crimes should be punished!"
