Chapter 699
"How does Xiaogong think this matter should be handled?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Shimin has also thought about this matter, but there has been no good way.
If the punishment is light, it will damage the face of the royal family, so we can't put Changsun Chong to death.
Even if he doesn't consider Changsun Wuji, he still has to worry about the mood of Empress Changsun.
Li Xiaogong didn't expect that Li Shimin would ask him, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is in charge of the clan's mansion, and Chang Sun Chong is not in the clan's mansion."
"This matter is related to the face of the royal family. You are the Zongzheng of the clan's mansion. This matter is also within your scope of responsibility. Why can't you take care of it?" Li Shimin said.
Li Xiaogong knew that he couldn't be fooled, so he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the eldest grandson fill up the army and atone for your crime?"
The name "Charging the Army" probably didn't officially appear until around the Song Dynasty, and it wasn't until the Ming Dynasty that it began to be commonly used as a criminal name.
But sending sinners into the army has appeared very early in Chinese history, and it has been used continuously.
Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was no fixed system, and it was only used occasionally, with random and temporary characteristics.For example, in the 33rd year of Qin Shihuang (214 years ago), he "sent out the dead, the son-in-law, and the Jia people, and slightly took the land of Luliang". In the fourth year of the Tianhan Dynasty (97 years ago), the "seven subjects" of the world were sent out of Shuofang with Li Guangli, the general of the second division, and most of them who were sent to the army were also guilty.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the regulations for guarding the border with death gradually appeared. For example, during the period of Emperor Gaozong of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the minister Yuan He wrote a letter, proposing, "If you are not a great rebel, the crime of killing with your bare hands, the crime of taking stolen goods, stealing and fault should be included in the dead. But the original fate, relegated to guard the border."Emperor Gaozong then ordered that "those who have died later will be forgiven for moving to the frontier". ("Wei Shu Yuan He Biography") During this period, not only criminals were sent to the army, but also "sending criminals as soldiers" became a severe punishment of death.
Expropriation was not a routine criminal law in the Tang Dynasty, so it was naturally much simpler to operate.
As Changsun Chong, no matter which army he is assigned to, Changsun Chong will not be in any danger for Changsun Wuji's face, which is equivalent to going through a formality.
Li Xiaogong understood that Li Shimin didn't really want to punish Chang Sun Chong, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him.
Therefore, he thought of such a way.
The army can let Changsun Chong leave Chang'an for a period of time. When the news of this matter passes and Changsun Chong returns, no one will mention it again.
Li Shimin thought for a while, this is indeed a good way, and said: "Decree: Changsun Chong committed crimes below, punish him as a brave guard in the army, and he will never return to Chang'an unless he makes meritorious service."
"Yes." Li Mu replied.
Naturally, Li Shimin did not need to write the imperial decree himself. There were officials who were responsible for drafting the decree. In the end, Li Shimin only needed to stamp the jade seal on it.
It didn't take long for Changsun Wuji to know Li Shimin's punishment for Changsun Chong.
Sun Wuji didn't react when he heard that the leader of the army, but when he heard the heroic guard of the army, his face finally changed.
Lin Xuan is a brave general of the guard, and it is not Lin Xuan's word whether Chang Sun Chong deserves credit or not.
But it is said in the imperial decree that if you can't make meritorious service, you will never come back.
The important thing is that Changsun Wuji knows his son very well, and he doesn't know how to march and fight at all. If others don't give the Changsun family face, how can Changsun Chong have the ability to make meritorious service.
Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, wrote an invitation with his own hand, and said, "Come here, send this invitation to Jingyang Hou Mansion."
"Yes." The butler bowed to accept the invitation and withdrew.
……
When Lin Xuan came back from the palace, he didn't see Li Lizhi, so he asked strangely, "Where's the princess?"
"Back to the son-in-law, the princess is drawing in the study." Tsing Yi said.
draw?
Lin Xuan suddenly thought that he was proficient in drawing as a sign-in reward before, but he hadn't used it again.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan went directly to the study.
Li Lizhi painted very carefully, and did not notice Lin Xuan coming in.
Seeing Lin Xuan coming in, Zi Yi who was waiting on the side was stopped by Lin Xuan just as he was about to salute.
Lin Xuan quietly came behind Li Lizhi and looked up.
Li Lizhi's painting is a picture of two giant pandas playing, and it seems that the painting is almost finished.
Although due to the close exchanges between the Central Plains and many Asian countries during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty absorbed the cultures of other countries in various aspects, and the classic model of benign development that was compatible and coexisted made the culture of the Tang Dynasty more prosperous and prosperous.
Painting is one of them.
The painting art of the Tang Dynasty absorbed the experience of the "smudge method" in the Western Regions, enriched the expression forms of techniques, and laid an important foundation for the development and innovation of the fine arts in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
But in essence, the painting style of the Tang Dynasty still expresses spirit with form, and ordinary people can't appreciate it at all.
It just so happened that Lin Xuan was an ordinary person, and he couldn't tell the good or bad of Li Lizhi's paintings.
After Li Lizhi put away the pen, she looked at it and nodded in satisfaction, changed a pen, and wrote her name.
"I've heard that my lady is good at Danqing, but today I saw her really extraordinary. This sentence has both form and spirit, and is lifelike. I'm afraid it can be compared with Yan Shaojian." Seeing Li Lizhi stop writing, Lin Xuan clapped his hands and laughed.
Although Lin Xuan couldn't understand it, he just opened his mouth when he praised someone.
Li Lizhi was taken aback by the sudden voice, turned around and found that it was Lin Xuan, and glared at him reproachfully.
Hearing Lin Xuan's praise, Li Lizhi said with some embarrassment: "My husband is joking, how can I compare myself to Yan Shaojian."
Although Yan Liben has not yet painted the famous masterpieces such as "Buying Chariot Picture" and "Picture of Emperors of Past Dynasties", he is also a very famous painter in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Lizhi is more confident in her attainments in painting, and dare not say that she can compare with Yan Liben.
"Why can't it be compared, the lady's paintings are more delicate than Yan Shaojian's paintings, which Yan Shaojian's paintings don't have." Lin Xuan said.
"My husband also knows how to paint?" Li Lizhi said in surprise.
"Ah." Lin Xuan said somewhat unnaturally: "I understand a little bit."
He couldn't say that he was just talking nonsense.
Although the system rewarded him for his proficiency in painting, he couldn't tell him what to say.
Just like Zhao Yunzhiyong, those marksmanship just appeared in his mind, and he could use them, but he couldn't tell them.
Before Yuchi Baolin and the others asked him about marksmanship, he didn't know how to teach him, so he could only practice against them.
But Li Lizhi took it seriously, and said: "Husband, this painting is my own handiwork. I will draw another one now. Please evaluate my husband."
As she said that, Li Lizhi took away the paperweight, picked up the painting she had just drawn, and casually put it aside.
"Wait, how can you be so casual." Lin Xuan carefully took the painting aside and put it away.
Now that the ink is not completely dry, Lin Xuan dare not roll it up, otherwise the painting will be useless.
"Husband, there are many places in that painting that have not been handled properly, so don't worry about it." Li Lizhi said.
"I think it's very good. I'm going to put this painting away and make it a family heirloom for our children." Lin Xuan said.
