12. Let the tiger go back to the mountain
In the west court, Gao Yue looked at the ding-dong water leak in a blink of an eye. Time was passing by. The little girl suffered the most miserable experience today. She was frightened and sad. She was already exhausted and curled up beside Gao Yue and fell asleep deeply.
Guo Xiaofeng was also bored, lying on a few mats, taking a nap.
After nightfall, the Uighurs on the Honglu Temple still refused to retreat and continued to make noise. The emperor had to order the Shen Ce army from the left and right wings to come to Honglu Temple to monitor it with the Jinwu children. Countless torches lit the ink sky, and the officials of all departments could not forget this tense night.
When the rising sun drove out the dark night and the sunlight illuminated the roofs of the palaces of Longshou Mountain, officials from various dynasties poured into the Daming Palace from various yards in Chang'an City.
They all saw that at this moment, thousands of Uighurs or nine surnames were surrounded by Hanguang Gate in the imperial city, surrounding the streets around Honglu Temple; and in the northeast, a young woman was holding a white wrist and holding a document, standing in front of the door, with a maid named in the green behind her, claiming to submit a memorial to the emperor of the dynasty.
She hopes to let her husband come out of the Immortal Sect safely and return home with her.
In Zichen's palace after the court meeting, Emperor Li Yu summoned most of the permanent officials to urgently discuss the case of the Uighur people in the East City.
"The newly married wife of Gao Zheng stood outside the Wangxian Gate, Cui, the fifth youngest wife of the Pushe family..." The eunuch Tan Zhizhong whispered to the emperor.
"I also want to end this matter early and go back with the senior high school drum, but the Uighurs can all block the Honglu Temple!" Li Yu was helpless.
At the same time, Chang Gun said that yesterday, the Uighurs attacked Wannian County Party and robbed all the people to witness Hu Shang. Now our situation is very passive. They not only demanded three bodies of the killed Hu Shang and the Uighurs, but also had to compensate 100,000 pieces of silk and 100,000 gold. "Your Majesty must not hesitate anymore, otherwise the Uighurs will be unable to recover the border."
"The Uighur thief not only hurts people in the downtown area, but also cuts the prison and kills the officials of the court. Please do not tolerate it again!" Yan Zhenqing also spoke with emotion.
"Dou Zhongcheng, what is the situation?" The emperor, who was stuck in the middle, was undecided to ask when he saw Dou Shen enter.
Dou Shen held up the tablet and answered the emperor calmly, "My ministers met with the Three Sessions to verify the Ju Xun of the Western Court last night—" Soon, the entire palace's eyes were focused on Dou Shen, the Censor, who was not tall and majestic.
The emperor also looked anxious.
"Gao Yue is really guilty, so don't worry. Guo Xiaofeng's backhand is too heavy, so he can remove the position of the Xun rank and the post of Yuhou of Shuofang Army, and be thirty rods, and be demoted to a civilian." After saying that, Dou Shen submitted Gao Yue's detailed and detailed remarks and judgments to the emperor's case.
The emperor looked at it and wrote it very clearly - what crimes did the Uighurs commit, what crimes did Hu Shang have clearly, what crimes did Gao Yue take for the attack, and Guo Xiaofeng's "self-defense is too passionate to kill people" - Li Yu nodded in admiration.
Chang Gun below understood everything as soon as he saw the emperor's expression. He immediately turned around and said loudly, "There is no misunderstanding in Dou Zhongcheng's case. There is a law to follow, and there is a pattern and a pattern, so it is appropriate to be correct."
Liu Yan and Li Mi next to him immediately rolled their eyes. This person is good at changing his skills now!
"Your Majesty..." Dou Shen's words were not finished.
The emperor raised his hand and signaled him but said it was okay.
Dou Shen's words shocked the ministers in the palace. "Last night, I sent a censor to inspect the Zha Temple God Building in various yards in Shangdu City, and found that the Uighurs' crimes were far more than that."
Some ministers looked frightened, afraid that Dou Shen would tell them that they had accepted large bribes from Uighurs and Hushang.
"There are a large number of good wives hidden in the Zoroastrian temple." As soon as Dou Shen said this, everyone in the court exclaimed.
"What?" The emperor's face was also very embarrassed and angry.
"Some of these women were lured as concubines by Hu Shang, while others were in distant prefectures and counties, and were captured by the Uighurs to sell them in Huawai land." Dou Shen continued, "According to my Tang law, Huawai people should not marry my Tang woman, nor should they be tempted as concubines. As for looting women, they should be punished."
Dou Shen kept talking, but the emperor's face became more and more gloomy.
Next, Dou Shen mentioned that the luggage of Hu merchants was found in the Zoroastrian temple, which contained a large number of goods that violated the law of the ban (similar to things that are now prohibited from leaving the country, such as weapons, copper coins, etc.). Many Hu merchants and Uighurs who participated in the crime have escaped from the northwest of the outer city of Chang'an City last night, missing, "Your Majesty, do you want to deal with this matter in poverty!"
In the upper hall, all the ministers' eyes focused on Emperor Li Yu again.
"Who is the Uighur Fanzhu in Honglu Temple?" Li Yu suddenly asked this unrelated topic.
The answer I got was that the Uighur chief Tu Dong.
Hearing this name, "I know, but... but... it's over here..." Li Yu finally said this plainly, "I will issue an imperial edict to exempt Gao Yue from his crime, but this is a temporary punishment and cannot be used as a Yongge, and in the future, it must not be cited (cited as a ruling case)."
"Your Majesty!" Yan Zhenqing and Dou Shen shouted almost at the same time. They really couldn't accept that the Uighur sinners who violated so many laws could still get away with the law.
"So far..." But in front of the gold foil screen, Li Yu turned around and turned his back to all the ministers, reiterating the decision, "Send all the women to their hometowns, and ask the Minister of the Honglu Temple to compensate the Uighurs for 200,000 yuan to return the dead body. Also, Gao Yue entered the East City without permission and fought with a blade, which was not in a proper way. He was fined three months of salary and reflected in the door."
Hearing the emperor's words, Chang Gun smiled secretly: As long as Gao Yue has the record of being punished, he can directly be sentenced to a middle and lower class in this year's exam. What other beautiful positions do he want to have when he is transferred in the future?
When the emperor's envoy arrived at the Honglu Temple, the Uighurs were still entangled. Their leader, the Fan Chang Tu Dong, shouted, "My merchant was beaten and killed by the Tang family for no reason. According to the Tang law, the criminals should be punished and there is no need for money to compensate."
The imperial envoy Tan Zhizhong explained that the Censorate, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have thoroughly investigated the matter. According to the word "Gao Zheng" and "Guo Yuhou" are not at all serious faults. Now Gao Zheng is fined, Guo Yuhou is punished by the salaries, and Guo Yuhou is punished by the scepter. The saint compensates you so much money. You will not investigate your behavior in depth. Please consider the friendship between the Emperor Tang and the Khan, and don't continue to get together.
Tu Dong sneered: "As long as the criminal is corrected, he will not ask about this matter."
As a result, a sound of a full voice suddenly came from outside the Honglu Temple, "Did you forget the kindness of Emperor Suzong?"
When many Uighurs and Hu Shang heard this voice, they were as shocked as if they were struck by lightning and turned around and looked back.
