"Jing Wen, what does it mean to call me?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, don't take Liu Rengui away. That's not what Lord Liu Rengui means! Lord Liu Rengui has always been for my Tang Dynasty! So, Liu Rengui is not only correct, but also has a contribution!" Jing Wen said.

Li Shimin immediately said unhappily: "Liu Rengui has any contributions? He killed a superior official with a lower-level official. Isn't this the following? If everyone learns from him, then is our court still the court? Then anyone can kill people at will, then isn't this a mess? So, I must punish Liu Rengui. But seeing that Lu Ning himself is also wrong, I will not kill him and imprison him in prison. But you actually have to say that he is not at fault, but has made contributions. This is simply nonsense. If you can't say that you are ugly and Yin Mao, I will pursue you together!"

Li Shimin's meaning is very obvious. As an emperor in the feudal period, Li Shimin must of course maintain the concept of superiority and inferiority. If Liu Rengui kills a high-ranking official at the same time, it means that the following crimes are committed. Therefore, this kind of subordinate crime is one of the most intolerable sins in the feudal period. Li Shimin still needs to maintain this kind of superiority and inferiority, otherwise the country will not be able to rule. This is for the sake of the overall situation, so Li Shimin must punish Liu Rengui, otherwise there will definitely be problems.

Jing Wen immediately said: "Your Majesty, Liu Rengui's insults, so he killed Lu Ning. Actually, this is not the meaning, but also a deeper meaning."

"Oh? What else does it mean?" Li Shimin asked.

Even Liu Rengui was wondering, did he have any special meaning when he said just now? So Liu Rengui looked at Jingwen in a confused manner, wanting to see what kind of theory Jingwen could say.

"Your Majesty, the specific matters need to be analyzed in detail. Lord Liu Rengui interrogated Lu Ning at that time, and he was no longer the representative!" Jing Wen said.

"Oh? Is there any explanation?" Li Shimin asked.

Jing Wen asked back: "Emperor, if you send someone to inspect outside, then you must be the imperial envoy? The imperial envoy should be respected, and insulting the imperial envoy is insulting the emperor, are you?"

"Of course. The imperial envoy I sent will naturally be respected. And according to the rules, when the imperial envoy executes the corresponding order, any official should help him. It is not an exaggeration to see the senior official at the third level!" Li Shimin said as a matter of course.

Jing Wen immediately said: "Emperor, when Liu Rengui interrogated Lu Ning, his official position was a county lieutenant. The county lieutenant managed the laws of the court, so Liu Rengui was the "instruction envoy" authorized by the law. Lord Liu Rengui represented the laws of the court and were interrogating, not representing him alone. Therefore, Lu Ning insulted Liu Rengui at that time. That was an insult to the imperial envoy sent by the law, and that was an insult to the law! Therefore, Lu Ning was not unfairly killed!"

"What is this logic?" Li Shimin was also a little confused.

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor and should be respected by others. Should the laws of the Tang Dynasty also be respected by anyone in the Tang Dynasty?" Jing Wen asked.

Li Shimin said very directly: "The laws of the Tang Dynasty must be respected by anyone, and even I cannot easily violate them."

"Yes! Your Majesty, since Liu Rengui was a judge at that time and an official who enforced the law, he represented the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Since he represented the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Ning in front of Liu Rengui and countless people. Insulting Liu Rengui is not an insult to the laws of our Tang Dynasty? Shouldn't he be punished if he insulted the law? And if he insulted the law without being punished, wouldn't he encourage others to violate the law and discipline? Insult the law?"

"So, although Liu Rengui is likely to be insulted by the following. But he is also maintaining the laws of our Tang Dynasty. If the laws of our Tang Dynasty can be insulted, who in the world will take the laws of the Tang Dynasty seriously? If everyone does not take the laws seriously, wouldn't the world be insulting the laws of the Tang Dynasty? Emperor, don't think that Lu Ning is just insulting Liu Rengui, but he is more profoundly insulting the laws of the Tang Dynasty. In order to maintain the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Rengui killed Lu Ning, not only without any mistakes, but also with contributions! As a judge, he must uphold the dignity of the law, otherwise how could he be a law enforcer?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but agree with Jing Wen's words. Although Jing Wen's words were suspected of being exaggerated, the truth was correct. If the laws of the Tang Dynasty could be insulted casually, who in the world would take the law seriously? Li Shimin is not the kind of foolish monarch who often commits evil, so he must take the lead in safeguarding the dignity of the law, otherwise all officials in the world will be in danger.

Although the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower levels are ancient rules, this is just a hidden rule. The laws of the Tang Dynasty are rules on the surface. Breaking the unspoken rules will certainly affect some problems. However, if the unspoken rules are broken, it will cause chaos in the world. After all, unspoken rules are unspoken rules and cannot be put on the table. However, the unspoken rules are one of the fundamentals of maintaining rule and cannot be easily broken. Once the law is easily broken, the role of the law will be dangerous.

"Liu Aiqing, you did a good job, you did a good job!" Li Shimin said suddenly.

Liu Rengui couldn't help but touch the cold sweat on his forehead, and then smiled at Jing Wen, expressing gratitude. If Jing Wen hadn't helped him this time, I'm afraid Liu Rengui really didn't know what to do. Now the emperor's "Liu Aiqing" means that his crisis has been overcome, and he can get the emperor's appreciation in disguise. In ancient times, if he wanted to do something, he wanted to get the appreciation of the superior? If there was no appreciation of the superior, then you might have accomplished nothing.

"Liu Aiqing, since you can uphold the dignity of the law, do you want to be an official from the Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple?" Li Shimin asked.

Liu Rengui immediately said, "Your Majesty, I still want to start and end well, and do some practical things for the people in Pinglu County."

"Since that's the case, I won't be tired of force. Since you are a county magistrate in Pinglu County, I will promote you and promote you to a county magistrate. Moreover, I will not assign you a county magistrate. You, the county magistrate, will be the second position of county magistrate, and the county magistrate." Li Shimin said.

"Thank you for your grace!"

Li Shimin, a very important real power was handed over to Liu Rengui. In the future, Pinglu County will be the world of Liu Rengui. If he is willing, it is not impossible to be a local emperor. This is the emperor's trust, so of course he has to thank him.

Jing Wen breathed a sigh of relief and finally got rid of danger. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
