Chapter 402 Jin Liangtu: Why were the Turks able to integrate well into the Tang Dynasty? Because the Turks were destroyed...
Through the cooperation of officials from the Ministry of Rites, it was determined that the medical practitioner who once lived in Lingnan was probably a Silla man. Li Yan took Guo Yuanzhen and Wu Chengsi and turned right when going out.
There is no need to leave the Shangshu Province, go directly to the Ministry of Punishment and arrive at the capital.
Unlike other departments where there are only a few staff, after get off work, officials like to go to Xiushianfang in Luoyang City to learn foreign languages with Hu Ji. There are many officials working in the lawsuit.
Since Jin Liangtu took office, he has eliminated many corrupt officials, and the department's atmosphere has suddenly taken on a new look, making it one of the six departments with the highest work efficiency.
Li Yan praised this very much and was even more satisfied with his vision.
However, Jin Liangtu was not in the company at this time. After questioning, it was discovered that he had targeted a Tang Dynasty slave trading guild through a message sent by Gong Siguang a few days ago, and had led his capable men to arrest the prisoner.
"Bring out the case files of Lingnan refugees and Liaodong prisoners in recent years."
When they arrived, Li Yan happened to retrieve the case file and check it out.
These files include slave chambers of commerce in various places, the names of prisoners after the war, and the relatives of officials who were convicted and exiled. They can all be used to make a big fuss, so the fourth division of the Ministry of Punishment is the most vulnerable to corruption.
Li Yan looked through more than a dozen copies, and after comparing them with what Guo Yuanzhen had read, he noticed something was wrong and started discussing them in a low voice.
Wu Chengsi was watching from the side, and he was pleased to find that he recognized every word on it. He was annoyed to find that when the words were connected together, they became unfamiliar.
But after secretly glancing at the two people next to him who were concentrating on each other, he also sat upright and started to look at them.
Look and look, look and look.
"Zzz...Zzz..."
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Chengsi suddenly woke up, rubbed his eyes, and found that the lamps were lit and unfamiliar voices came from beside him.
He turned his head and saw a burly man coming in front of him. He was talking to Li Yan in a respectful and enthusiastic manner, without paying any attention to him.
But Li Yan looked over immediately and said leisurely: "Duke Zhou, are you awake?"
Regarding this skilled sleeping technique, he reminded him of Qiu Shenji who was in Liangzhou and also liked to ask Duke Zhou for advice.
Qiu Shenji has a talent for torture. What can this person in front of him do besides causing trouble for his aunt?
But this ability seems to be pretty good...
In any case, since Wu Chengsi woke up, Li Yan said: "Let me introduce you, this is the golden doctor of Du Guanshi."
Jin Liangtu looked at Wu Chengsi, his expression suddenly became cold, and he suppressed his hatred and saluted: "It turns out to be Duke Zhou."
Wu Chengsi simply forgot that Wu Yizong once wanted to insult the other party's wife. He just thought that this woman also looked down on him, so he immediately became angry: "You..."
Others can look down on him, except foreigners, especially a Silla man!
But just as he was about to scold him, Li Yan's face darkened slightly, and his solid gaze pierced him.
Wu Chengsi suddenly felt like a basin of cold water was poured down his head, his shoulders shrank, and the following words were condensed into a greeting: "...Okay!"
Li Yan shook his head: "Let's talk about business!"
What he had just talked about with Jin Liangtu was the arrest of slave traders. As he had worried earlier, those profit-seeking slave traders were really bold enough to send Tang people to Silla in large quantities to make huge profits.
Jin Liangtu and Gong Siguang, an official and a businessman, worked together to destroy three dens. The one they just solved was already the fourth one this year, and at least hundreds of people were arrested and sent to the Criminal Department.
Guo Yuanzhen felt a little admiration when he heard this. This man's work ability is indeed very strong and he is very principled. No wonder Liulang took it seriously and began to describe the case: "This case is related to the eldest grandson family who was exiled to Lingnan more than ten years ago..."
After Jin Liangtu listened carefully, his face changed slightly and he said in confusion: "How can there be people with such superb medical skills in the small country of Silla?"
Li Yandao: "Because Zhou Guogong can hardly remember the specific details, and the prescriptions used by the wandering doctor for his father are not known, it is not yet certain whether that person's medical skills are superb. To say the least, he is from Silla, it is possible that he is from Silla.
I studied medicine in the Tang Dynasty, which is not a contradiction."
Jin Liangtu suddenly realized: "What Li Geling said is true, but in this case, it is difficult to find a needle in a haystack."
Li Yandao: "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult to find, but if this person has a status in Silla, can we look for clues through the Silla people in the Tang Dynasty? This case is also the responsibility of the capital, so we are here.
"
Jin Liangtu has a sensitive heart, and it would definitely be extremely uncomfortable for someone else to ask him. But this is his boss, who has never cared about his origin. He immediately dismissed the distracting thoughts, thought about it carefully and said: "I'm afraid I have to ask Zuo
The leading guard general Jin Renshou died."
In order to fear that Li Yan would not know who this person was, Jin Liangtu immediately explained: "This is the son of Jin Chunqiu, the king of Silla Wuyeol.
trust……"
In fact, as soon as Jin Liangtu reminded him, Li Yan thought of the Silla diplomat.
Jin Inwen, courtesy name Rensu, was a member of the Silla royal family and a famous diplomat in the history of the Korean Peninsula.
Of course, it is said that diplomats have relatively high emotional intelligence. In fact, they were the hostages sent by Silla when they knelt down and licked the Tang Dynasty. After Silla monopolized the Liaodong Peninsula and began to show its disobedience, this person's situation became more embarrassing.
Already.
However, Jin Renwen still mainly favored the Tang Dynasty. Historically, during the Tang-Luo War, Li Zhi also appointed him as the King of Silla, but he failed to return to his country to take up his post.
Because at that time, the Tang Dynasty suffered successive defeats at the hands of Tibet, and the situation in the Liaodong Peninsula was out of control. Li Zhi's decree to create a pro-Tang Dynasty King of Silla only sounded good in name, but could not become a reality.
It is different now. Since the Tang Dynasty suppressed Tubo, although Silla was dishonest, it did not resist openly after all. It only dared to make some small moves secretly. It seems that this kind of royal hostage has its own meaning.
Li Yan always asked his close friends very directly: "Does Jin Renshou miss his motherland?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jin Liangtu thought for a while, but for the sake of caution, he still dared not make a hasty evaluation, and said carefully: "This is difficult for me to be sure, but there are many Silla people under my command who have defected.
, all have their own skills. If the wandering doctor is really from Silla, we are most likely to get clues from him."
Li Yan showed a look of approval. Such an impartial evaluation was what he needed. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jin. Your opinion is very important to our investigation."
He was about to leave, but Jin Liangtu's eyes moved and he took the initiative and said: "Since this case is related to the Lingnan refugees, I am willing to go with Li Ge to investigate the truth together."
Guo Yuanzhen was a little surprised, Wu Chengsi sneered, and cursed in his heart: "Is this Silla slave going crazy if he wants to make meritorious deeds? He even dares to confront the former prince? What a fool!"
Li Yan also declined politely: "After all, Jin Renshou is the prince of Silla, and he was valued by the late emperor. If he does not cooperate, there may be a small conflict. It is not convenient for Mr. Jin to come forward in this matter."
Jin Liangtu's eyes were firm and he crossed his hands and saluted: "Thank you very much Li Ge for your love and care, but I have made up my mind. Silla has not shown me the grace of the Tang Dynasty and should have been punished long ago. We will set an example and hope that Li Ge will succeed."
!”
…
Half an hour later.
Jin Liangtu returned to the mansion with excitement.
It was getting late now and it was inconvenient to go to Jin Renshou for questioning, so we agreed to continue tomorrow.
Li Yan was the most calm and investigated the case step by step. Guo Yuanzhen had just returned from Lingnan and was extremely concerned about this case. Wu Chengsi felt that the internal security investigation was not as hard as he imagined, so he was a little reluctant to leave.
Among the four, Jin Liangtu was the only one who was full of longing for the future. When he entered the house and saw his wife coming to greet him, he still had a feeling of excitement and uncontrollable emotion.
His wife also noticed something different in his expression, and said worriedly: "Husband, has something happened again?"
Jin Liangtu smiled brightly: "Li Ge came to look for me. It happened that there was a case that was within the jurisdiction of the court, and I could work for it, so I was a little excited."
The wife understood, and while skillfully taking off his armor, she said gratefully: "Leader Li has been very kind to us. If we can help him, I should do my best to live up to his kindness."
Jin Liangtu nodded and smelled the smell of his wife: "You changed the spices again today? It's quite elegant and smells better than last time."
The wife pursed her lips and smiled: "This is a gift from Mrs. Pei. The ladies in various houses have taken good care of me recently, and there is no shortage of all kinds of spices and teas."
There are many kinds of spices in Datang. They are not only luxury goods, but also daily consumables. They are almost indispensable for fragrant in daily life, to repel mosquitoes and to have a good sleep at night.
The high-ranking nobles also regard it as an important social item and share the spices with the golden lady, which means that they really take her to play with them and completely integrate into the circle of married women.
Jin Liangtu hummed, and the joy on his face gradually faded away, revealing a trace of depression.
The wife slowed down: "What happened to husband? Since that incident, I have been a blessing in disguise..."
Jin Liangtu said flatly: "I don't like this kind of blessing in disguise. They are willing to treat you well because they find that Li Geling values me more than expected.
The purpose of the scandal is to make fun of us secretly!"
The wife lowered her head and whispered: "Husband, this is all my fault..."
Jin Liangtu was extremely angry: "This has nothing to do with you, it's all because of my background!"
"There are so many women who have entered the palace, so why did the warriors choose you? They must have investigated it long ago and deceived me about my Silla background, so I dared to do this to you. If you replaced me with another woman from Tang Dynasty and gave him a hundred courage, he would
I don’t dare to commit such evil deeds in the palace city!”
"If Li Ge had not taken action and beheaded the evil thief, maybe the Wu family would have complained first and made a fuss about my origin. I have never encountered this kind of thing back then!"
The wife sighed, but felt a little relieved: "Then what can we do? Our origins are destined and cannot be changed!"
"My husband is now a fifth-rank official in the Tang Dynasty and has been granted the title of wife and son-in-law. Now I have also become a married woman. Our son will be able to become an official in the future, so I will be satisfied."
"Let them talk about some gossip. Even if there are no such words, there will be someone jealous behind any fifth-grade official..."
Jin Liangtu didn't listen to the second half at all. He only heard the first sentence and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "My lady is wrong. Our origins are indeed destined, but they are not completely unchangeable! Among the women you associate with, there are Turks
Are you from a barbarian background?"
The wife misunderstood and said with some embarrassment: "Of course they do. Does the husband want me to take the initiative to have close contact with them? But they have not been targeted in the group of married women, and I am afraid they will not deliberately get close to me."
Jin Liangtu shook his head: "I don't understand the intrigues of you women, but I can see one thing clearly. The Turks were enemies of the Tang Dynasty in the past, but now the Hu generals of Turkic origin have not suffered any special treatment in the court.
Targeted, why do you think it is?”
The wife was puzzled: "I don't know..."
Jin Liangtu said solemnly: "Because the Turks have been destroyed and no longer exist. The Hu and Han people are discriminated against, but they will not look down upon people of Turkic origin!"
His wife was suddenly stunned and stopped taking off his armor.
Jin Liangtu took off the last part by himself, pulled out the long knife from his waist, looked at the snowy blade, and murmured: "We can't choose our origin, but we can change the meaning of our origin. If Silla is destroyed, it will be merged into
Datang, then aren’t we people from the Tang Dynasty from beginning to end?”
