Chapter 749: The Family of the Pit Father
Yitang Xuanzong Li Longji agreed to Wang Jie's proposal without thinking too much. What he didn't expect was that when he collected the money from his feet, his income was much more than the normal tax.
"I said that I wanted to reduce the burden on the people, but now that it has increased so much, will the people scold my mother?" Li Longji asked worriedly.
"No, this is not a tax, what is levied is only transportation costs, not normal income, and it does not need to be handed over to the treasury, so the emperor will collect it into the private treasury." Wang Ji smiled flatteringly.
Tang Xuanzong likes to listen to this, and he has two private vaults under his hands, one is called Qionglin and the other is called Daying, both of which were established under the supervision of Wang Jie.
In his later years, Tang Xuanzong lived a luxurious and hedonistic life, which required a lot of money to back him up, so he cared for Wang Jie, who was skilled in collecting money, which made Yang Zhao feel like he was being favored. Yang Zhao was promoted quickly, Wang Jiao was also dissatisfied, and in a few years, Tang Xuanzong added more than 20 positions to him: and the city envoy, and the envoy of the palace, and the envoy of the camp, all of which were held by Wang Tie alone.
Wang Ji was favored in front of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and after the saddle in front of Li Linfu, it can be said that he was above 10,000 people under the two, and his heart swelled up in an instant, and he felt that he was as big as the world, and his domineering personality aroused the resentment of many people.
His son Wang Zhun is a rich second generation of cheating fathers, relying on Wang Jie's power to mix up the position of a guard lieutenant Shaoqing, setting up birds and walking dogs every day, riding horses through the city, and no one dares to stop him.
One day, when Princess Changning's car passed by the city gate, she was just in time for Wang Zhun, the son of Wang Jie, to come back from outside the city with a group of fox friends and dogs. Princess Changning's car stopped to the side, and Wang Zhun's horse maliciously collided directly with Princess Changning's carriage.
Princess Changning's horse was frightened and ran wildly, and Wang Zhun and the others laughed and coaxed beside her. Princess Changning was so frightened that she almost lost her soul, and then Wang Ji sent a box of gift cakes to apologize.
Princess Changning's personal maid Lan Xiang was indignant, and said: "Princess, Wang Ji and his son are too arrogant, if he dares to treat you like this, isn't he afraid that the emperor will blame you?"
Princess Changning was depressed in her heart, but at this time she only smiled bitterly: "Wang Jie's arrogance was given by his father, what can I do? I'd rather offend the gentleman than the villain, bear with it." ”
Wang Zhun is not only arrogant and domineering on the street, he is very bold, and the expansion of selfish desires makes him forget how many catties and taels he has, and he also dares to take people to show off his power in the Horse Mansion.
One day, Wang Zhun took a group of friends to the house of Tang Xuanzong's son-in-law, Wang Xuan, the captain of the horses.
Wang Xuan knew in his heart that Wang Jiao was being appreciated by the emperor at this time, and he was very powerful, so he did not dare to clash with him head-on. Quickly knelt on the ground, looking at the dust and bowing down to greet the arrival of Wang Zhun and the others.
A dignified horse, the emperor's own son-in-law made such a low posture, and Wang Zhun was not satisfied. He took out a slingshot and hit it according to Wang Xuan's turban, and at once he discounted Wang Xuan's white hosta, and Wang Zhun rode on the horse and laughed.
That Wang Xuan was aggrieved and patient, he patted the dust on his body and stood up, his face was calm, and he respectfully hosted a banquet to entertain Wang Zhun and others.
Wang Xuan's concession and patience made Wang Zhun more and more inches, and he laughed and asked Tang Xuanzong's biological daughter, Princess Yongmu, to come out and pour tea and water for herself.
Angry, Princess Yongmu roared at the horse Wang Miao in the back hall: "Wang Xuan, you are a concubine, you let me serve him, you are not afraid that my father will blame him?"
Wang Miao smiled bitterly and said with a wry smile: "Even if my father blames me, it will only scold me a few words, it doesn't matter; But if you offend Wang Zhun, then there will be no place to die!"
There are many things in the court that have been suppressed and bullied by Wang Jie, and everyone has endured it, and this account has also been recorded, and evidence of his crime is secretly collected. Everyone collects a little bit and gathers it together to be a great piece of incriminating evidence, but it is just a person who takes the lead.
The appearance of Ji Wen made Yang Zhao see hope and found a breakthrough to use Wang Ji to deal with Li Linfu.
Speaking of which, the contradiction between Yang Zhao and Li Linfu has been a long time coming, and there has been an undercurrent surging before, but it has not surfaced. Yang Zhao thought that Li Linfu was in his way, and Li Linfu was also worried that Yang Zhao had risen too fast in recent years, so he was suspicious of him.
Under the operation of Jiwen and Yang Zhao, Wang Ji was inevitably involved in a rebellion case.
No one dared to believe that Wang Jie, who was favored by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, would rebel, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was also stunned when he first heard the news. But the facts were in front of him.
Speaking of which, Wang Jie is also a bitter tear, he has a half-brother Wang Kun, who has been in the market since he was a child, and he has no learning skills. When he grew up, he was very dissatisfied with Wang Jie's official luck, resentful that God treated him unfairly, and always complained that his ability was obviously higher than that of his brother, why was his luck not as good as his brother?
One day, he found a warlock who claimed to be counting all the things in the world, and asked: "You help me calculate, do I have the life of a prince and general?"
As soon as he asked this, the warlock was frightened, saying that he had it, and if the emperor knew about it, he would definitely cut off his head, and if he didn't, Wang Kun would definitely not let him go. What should I do? The warlock thought about it and said: "According to your birthday, you should have this honor, but unfortunately you were born to the wrong family, and your brother robbed you of some official fortunes, and you can only be an idle king in your life." ”
Wang Kun had little knowledge and didn't hear what the charlatan meant, so he asked, "The king of idleness is also a king, right?"
The charlatan replied vaguely: "It's the king, it's the king------"
Hearing this, Wang Lu was happy, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded the Jianghu Warlock with five gold ingots. The warlock didn't even dare to return home with the gold ingots, and ran away from the gate of the palace.
After the warlock escaped, Wang Kuan began to dream of the idle prince, and it didn't take long for Wang Kuan to see the clues, and under his inducement, Wang Kuan said: "I have found someone to tell my fortune, I have the life of a prince and a general, and I am working hard in this direction." ”
Hearing this, he almost didn't scare Wang Ji into fainting. How can this kind of thing be said casually.
"Where is the charlatan now?" Wang asked asked.
"I don't know, I heard that I haven't been home recently. Wang Kun said indifferently.
Hearing this, Wang Ji knew that the warlock must have escaped, so he immediately sent people around to secretly arrest him, and after he was caught, he solved it on the spot, and he must not leave any trouble.
After this incident, Wang Kun not only did not learn a lesson, but became more and more unpopular, so an even more absurd thing happened.
This incident cost his own life, and also affected Wang Jie, and even affected Li Linfu.
Wang Kun achieved the position of Tobu Langzhong under the promotion of Wang Jie, this position failed to satisfy his greed, and in his heart there was a kind of melancholy that heroes were useless, for this reason, he lingered in the wine shop and brothel, where he met his confidant in life - Xing Wei
