After the miscellaneous matters were handled, Li Zhongyi did not mention how to punish the corruption officials, and Kong Kun couldn't help but wonder.

Li Qiong knew it. Li Zhongyi came out of Dali Temple alone and was no longer under the jurisdiction of the cabinet. He just wanted to completely remove the yamen for the trial from the government affairs system.

In layman's terms, Dali Temple is only responsible to Li Zhongyi alone. No one except him is qualified to interfere with the judicial power of Dali Temple.

The independent exercise of judicial power is of epoch-making significance to the entire empire.

In the history of the Celestial Empire, the power of judgment has always appeared as a dependent on local governments. In other words, except for the death penalty, general cases are under the jurisdiction of local officials.

Li Zhongyi raised Dali Temple to the height of the emperor's direct subordinates, and his intention was extremely far-reaching, which was to basically eliminate the drawbacks of bureaucratic interference in judicial judicial power.

Even the cabinet has no room for interfering in the trial, let alone those local officials?

This time, the major case of rebellion led by Shi Shouxin and Wang Pu was the largest case after the Dali Temple reform. If the officials of Dali Temple were fair in their judgment in accordance with the law, Li Zhongyi took this opportunity to set a benchmark for justice in the trial of Dali Temple.

After seeing off Li Qiong and Kong Kun, Li Zhongyi worked in the inner study for more than two hours, and finally cleared up all the backlog of official documents.

Li Zhongyi walked into the courtyard, moved his legs and feet a little, and when his whole body loosened, he called Zhang Sanzheng and Gao Qiang to leave the ruling royal palace together.

After the purge of rebellion, the main elements were locked in the heavenly prison of Dali Temple, including Shi Shouxin and Wang Pu.

As for Zhao Laoer, who took the initiative to tie Zhao Kuangyi to the ruling royal family and surrendered, was locked in the prison of the ruling royal family. Li Zhongyi had no time to pay attention to the two of them for the time being.

The Dali Temple, which is not closed many people on weekdays, is now crowded. After Li Zhongyi entered the door, he had not walked a few steps away when he heard the rumor of injustice in the prison.

Damn, what qualifications do those who participate in the rebellion have to call for justice?

Oh, they were all wronged. Did Li Zhongyi, the counter-rebel, suppress the wrong thing?

The officers and soldiers guarding the Heavenly Prison in Dali Temple all came from the Guards. Zhang Sanzheng held the token given by Li Zhongyi and drove smoothly in the Heavenly Prison.

With the assistance of the prison guard, Li Zhongyi met Shi Shouxin again in the guard room.

"Brother Shi, I respect you as a man. I will ask you, who is the mastermind behind you?" Li Zhongyi couldn't stand the strange smell in prison, so he asked the question directly.

Shi Shouxin sighed and said lightly: "If you say the mastermind, a certain family will be counted as one, and Wang Pu will be counted as one, and there will be no one else."

Li Zhongyi sighed secretly, what a trustworthy Shi Shouxin, this name is really right!

It was clearly Zhao Laoer and Zhao Laosan who were secretly planning to rebel, and Shi Shouxin was just an accomplice, but he just took on the moral integrity and did not want to implicate Zhao Laoer.

Zhao Laosan and Zhao Laoer are brothers. If Shi Shouxin confessed Zhao Laosan, how could Zhao Laoer stay out of the matter?

"Brother Shi, look at this thing before talking about it." Li Zhongyi took out a confession from his cuff and handed it to Zhang Sanzheng to show it to Shi Shouxin.

After Shi Shouxin saw the handwriting clearly, he immediately fell off his chin. Even if Zhao Laoer's handwriting was burned to ashes, he could recognize it.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Sanzheng finished reading the confession to Shi Shouxin, and Shi Shouxin’s face was extremely difficult to see.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, the heat should be enough, and then smiled and said, "You have been keeping a secret for others, but they regard you as a fool. Brother Shi, why are you doing this?"

Shi Shouxin took a deep breath and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "The only one who is responsible for the rebellion is besides me."

Li Zhongyi looked at Shi Shouxin in extraordinary surprise. He really didn't expect that he had arrived at this point and even took out Zhao Laoer's personal confession. Shi Shouxin still refused to tell the truth.

"Brother Shi, you treat others as brothers, and you are like a mustard of grass, not to mention, I know everything you should know and what you shouldn't know." Li Zhongyi's meaning was very obvious. Shi Shouxin had been betrayed by the Zhao brothers. Is it necessary to keep the so-called secret?

However, Shi Shouxin simply closed his eyes and refused to speak again.

Li Zhongyi was a man who was unwilling to lynch his body and deliberately torture him. However, no matter how Li Zhongyi induces him, Shi Shouxin never spoke, as if he was a dumb person.

According to Li Zhongyi's original idea, as long as Shi Shouxin confessed the truth, Zhao Laosan's serious crime of treason was confirmed, and then Zhao Laoers could be implicated.

However, this kid Shi Shouxin is really a tough guy. Even if he is betrayed, he will not tell the truth.

This is a bit troublesome!

After ordering people to take Shi Shouxin down, Li Zhongyi interrogated Wang Pu alone.

When Wang Pu saw Li Zhongyi, he cried as tired as he was. Not only did he kowtow and pounded garlic, but he also repeatedly repented about his mistakes yesterday and regretted that he should have been deceived by Shi Shouxin.

Wang Pu was willing to confess, but the confession that he turned over was only involved in Shi Shouxin, the central contact person, who had nothing to do with Zhao Laoer and Zhao Laosan.

After getting to know this, Li Zhongyi completely understood one thing: Zhao Laoer's treacherous and cunning had far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

Li Zhongyi certainly had the means to let Wang Pu bite Zhao Lao Er, but the problem was that it was a bite, and there was no conclusive evidence that Zhao Lao Er could be nailed to the pillar of shame.

What's more, Zhao Laoer deliberately played a scene of turning his brother over in front of many people, and he might cause criticism if he killed him rashly.

After coming out of the Heavenly Prison, Li Zhongyi didn't want to go home for the time being. He thought about it and simply went to Changchun Palace to visit Du Qinniang.

Since Du Qinniang became pregnant, she has met Li Zhongyi in private. Seeing that Li Zhongyi had just returned to Beijing and saw that Du Qinniang was overjoyed and simply snuggled half of her body into his arms, and the two of them gathered together and whispered.

Li Zhongyi felt a little irritable. When Du Qinniang saw it, she smiled and asked, "Jiulang, do you have something to worry about? If you can say something, just say it as a joke for me?"

Li Zhongyi has always been a very self-disciplined person. The male lead and the female lead the inner thoughts are extremely serious. Therefore, he just hugged Du Qinniang's slender waist and said casually: "I'm just some military affairs in the court. If you say it, you don't understand these."

Du Qinniang is a sensible person. Since Li Zhongyi doesn't want to, she naturally cannot continue to ask questions, just pestering Li Zhongyi to speak.

Because he has been shrouded in the shadow of Queen Mother Fu for many years, Du Qinniang's ability to observe words and expressions is truly impressive in order to survive in the cracks!

Li Zhongyi used dinner in Changchun Palace. The vegetarian food in Changchun Palace has always been famous in the capital, including dishes served in dinner and vegetarian food in Yishui.

Maybe it was because I had something to do, maybe it was because the vegetarian food in Changchun Palace was so good that Li Zhongyi ate three bowls of rice in one breath before putting down his chopsticks.

Seeing Li Zhongyi having a happy meal, Du Qinniang leaned over to the fun and said, "Jiulang, let me raise it when the child is born?"

Li Zhongyi wanted to nod, but finally shook his head and said, "No. How can my Li family's children stay outside without any name?"

Du Qinniang heard the man's willingness to be responsible, and she felt both happy and sad in her heart.

Chai Xirang is getting older and it is impossible for him to stay by Du Qinniang's side. She is really a lonely woman!

"Oh, by the way, Kong Kun is about to take office as the commander of the Welcoming Commander." Li Zhongyi thought, it would be better to have a little bit of the wind. Du Qinniang was very thoughtful, so she would not think about it.

Du Qinniang stayed in the palace for a long time. When she heard the words "Encourt of the Governor", she shouted in surprise: "Jiulang, are you going to be the emperor?"

"I, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, you have a great blessing!" Du Qinniang stood up with her belly, and was about to squat down and bow. Li Zhongyi quickly stopped her and blamed her, "Why should you hold on to your tribute with your body? If there is a mistake, it will be a big trouble."

After the meal, Li Zhongyi took a short rest and took Du Qinniang's little hand and took a walk around the bamboo forest in the view.

For pregnant women, proper physical exercise can help smooth delivery.

In this era when there was no caesarean section, due to the outdated concept of fertility, pregnant women rarely have activities, and in most cases, they can only lie on the bed and eat and drink.

If it is a poor lady who gave birth to a child, she has no food because her family is poor, and she even has to work in the fields with a big belly.

Therefore, the dyslexia rate of pregnant women in poor families is lower.

However, pregnant women in poor families often have childbirth due to midwifery scissors and other objects that are not carefully disinfected, and the chance of postpartum infection is very high and the mortality rate is also very high.

Correspondingly, in wealthy families, pregnant women eat extremely rich food and rarely exercise, so they can easily cause dying due to the size of the fetus.

In short, in this era of not being prosperous in medicine, giving birth to a pregnant woman means passing the gates of hell and dying for a lifetime!

After Li Zhongyi's inspection, Du Qinniang's condition was still good. After all, he had carefully explained to the servants around Du Qinniang that they had to exercise more.

After three meals a day, you have to walk around the bamboo forest at least five times, which is about one thousand steps.

Li Zhongyi just returned to the capital and encountered another major case of rebellion. He could not spend the night in Changchun Temple.

Du Qinniang was depressed for a long time and finally saw the man, so she naturally couldn't bear to let him go immediately.

Li Zhongyi is not a man who just turns his face to the point of not being able to recognize others on his belt. He carefully calculated the time when Du Qinniang was pregnant.

After calculating the days, Du Qinniang was just over four months pregnant. Li Zhongyi wanted to comfort the beauty, so he simply hugged her and comforted her with a little intention.

The man had already achieved this level, and Du Qinniang was embarrassed to continue to keep people, so she had to watch Li Zhongyi leave the palace with a gaze.

Shortly after Li Zhongyi returned to his home, he suddenly received news from the south. Lin Renzhao was reused again and had officially taken office as the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Southern Tang Dynasty, leading the elite navy stationed in Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou, which is today's Jiujiang City, has a very important geographical location, which just guards the throat of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

After expelling the Khitan Tartars, Li Zhongyi's pace of unifying the country was obviously necessary to accelerate.

It is obviously impossible to launch a unified war in these three directions at the same time.

Then, it is necessary to choose the best unified order from three strategic directions.

"Zhang Sanzheng, tell me, should you attack the Southern Tang first, or the Northern Han Dynasty, or the Western Shu?" Li Zhongyi was determined to test Zhang Sanzheng's strategic thinking ability, deliberately listed three strategic directions and let him choose freely.

"Report to the emperor, I think that the best unified order will be the first to take the Northern Han Dynasty, then Bashu, and finally the Southern Tang Dynasty."

Zhang Sanzheng followed Li Zhongyi and his life was not short. Influenced by Li Zhongyi, he had already had a certain ability to think strategically.

"Oh, what about Gao Qiang, what do you think?" Li Zhongyi did not rush to comment on Zhang Sanzheng's fault, but turned his head to look at Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang concentrating on his mind and replied slowly, "Your Majesty, I think that since the Khitans were driven out of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun by us, Liu Chong from Jinyang in the north has just survived and could be destroyed just now. It would be better to attack Western Shu first, then go straight down the river and defeat the Southern Tang in one fell swoop."
