The Liu family was all overjoyed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The emperor personally issued a holy decree to praise him, this glory is simply unheard of, unheard of, just like making Hanako suddenly discover a treasure, and even dreaming will wake up with laughter.

Even Qiao Huchen was full of envy for Liu Chengfang: I knew that I should have encouraged Ning Liyang to ask the Liu family for money and let them sell the farm, wouldn't the Liu family have already collapsed?

But now the Liu family not only did not fall, but also won the emperor's reward! made him want to take this archway back and put it in his own house, and he couldn't wait to eat Liu Chengfang's meat and drink Liu Chengfang's blood.

When a person is inferior to himself, he can stand on a high place and look down on him and tolerate him, but when this person's achievements are higher than their own, this tolerance turns into monstrous hatred.

Don't underestimate this archway, as long as it is there, coupled with the popularity accumulated by the Liu family in Tongzi Academy, it is enough to push Liu Chengfang to take another step forward and become a member of the imperial court, or even higher. The Liu family has many children and grandchildren, and there will definitely be people who will shine in the court within fifty years; Within a hundred years, as long as there is no rebellion involved, it will definitely be among the families.

On the other hand, the Qiao family, although he and Qiao Chaoyang are supported by him, it is difficult to grow a forest alone!

Thinking of this, Qiao Huchen became more and more resentful in his heart, if it weren't for the Liu family's procrastination and refusal to explicitly refuse, maybe his most promising grandson would have married and had children, and this great-grandson alone could also ensure the prosperity of the Qiao family for thirty years, and he could be with the Liu family for a long time. But because of the relationship between the Liu family, his best grandson is still alone until now, and he doesn't know when he is willing to become his own son.

Of course, there is another question: if the emperor wants to thoroughly investigate the person who framed Liu Chengfang, won't the people on his side suffer?

Even if the emperor doesn't remember a lot of things for a while, Liu Yongan and Wang Weiping are still in Beijing, and Concubine Wang Shu is pregnant with a prince, if the Wang family makes the first move, the Qiao family will definitely be greatly damaged.

In fact, Liu Chengfang is also thinking about the problem of the archway.

If the emperor really wants to reward him, he should promote him to let him continue to benefit the people, why has he appointed a new prefect to Xiangyang in a short period of time and let him stay at home? Not only that, Lian Yuan's eldest son in the capital, the new science and technology jinshi that the Liu family had spent countless efforts cultivating, was actually appointed by the emperor to feed the fighting cocks!

It seems that this torii is just a superficial article. But as a courtier, he can't disobey the order.

I don't know if this archway is a blessing or a curse for the Liu family.

The emperor is triumphant at this time, what about the queen mother and Yu Xiang's power? Didn't the princess lose to one of his hand-picked jinshi? And this Jinshi, what he tells him to do, he must do!

In the eyes of the emperor, Jinshi is just like an ant.

He still resented Liu Yongan's refusal to marry Princess Huikang, which made him lose face, but he wanted to block the mouth of Youyou, thought about it, and directly let Liu Yongan enter the palace, "I heard that you are very good at cockfighting?" Why don't you just raise a fighting cock for me? ”

Thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, let alone raising chickens? The father is still in prison, and the Liu family really can't stand the toss.

"Obey."

"As for your father, he has merit in exterminating locusts, and I have already rewarded a meritorious archway."

"The minister's father was originally an official of the imperial court, and he should share the worries of His Majesty, and it is really a matter of duty to exterminate locusts, and the emperor's reward is too heavy." Liu Yongan looked panicked.

His father was imprisoned, in fact, he was more anxious than anyone else, so Wang Jing deliberately spent a lot of money to set up message transmission points along the way from the capital to Haozhou, and did some small business by the way.

It's just that it costs a lot of money, not only did she make all the glass into mirrors and put it in, but Wang Jing also took all the private rooms out.

The silver poured out like water, and I could finally know the news of the family before the post station.

When the locust plague occurred, Wang Jing even asked all the chickens and ducks to be driven by special people to eliminate the locusts everywhere in the shortest possible time.

At this time, it was the beginning of spring and early summer, when the hens laid the most eggs, and I don't know how many eggs were born in the fields and were picked up by the farmers.

Wang Jing also ordered people to spread the news of the Liu family's chicken extermination of locusts along the way, but after two or three days of hard work, the news spread to the palace, and the emperor could only pretend to be discordant, so he could only reward the Liu family, and he had to send a merit archway.

With this archway, Ning Liyang will have to think twice if he doesn't let people go.

Although Ning Liyang let people go, Liu Chengfang's errand was also replaced.

The area of this locust plague was very wide, covering almost most of the Great Zhou.

At this time, it was spring and early summer, and it was the time when the green and yellow were not harvested, and coupled with the locust plague, many people began to be unable to eat.

In previous years, wheat could have been harvested if it lasted for a while, but this year's wheat has been completely plagued by locusts, and there is no summer grain harvest, and the people's lives are becoming increasingly difficult.

The court began a large-scale disaster relief.

However, both the imperial court and local officials refused to take over Haozhou.

Reason: Imperial court officials agreed that Haozhou was not affected.

Not only that, but the prefect of Haozhou also collected the grain and sent it to the victims in other places.

The golden wheat was harvested, and before the smell of the steamed bread could be smelled, all the grain had been looted away by the fierce officers and soldiers.

Zhang secretly regretted at this time, he shouldn't have offended Ning Liyang at that time, and let him spend so much silver to buy the Liu family's chickens.

But what's the use of regretting it now?

Not to mention others, even the Liu family began to be dissatisfied with Liu Chengfang's family.

"His family got the torii, but we became people who had nothing to eat."

Fortunately, the Zhang family has always been very generous, and he knew that he was wrong, so he had to distribute the chickens and ducks to the people in the city.

Rao is like this, how many days can a chicken be eaten?

There are more than three or five people in the family, and there are ten people in the family, but there are only so many chickens in the Liu family, at best, there is only one family, and there is inevitably a difference between the number and the number. Coupled with the fact that the Qiao family deliberately fueled the flames behind the scenes, many people who didn't know the truth had already regarded Liu Chengfang as an enemy.

"You don't know, do you? Chuzhou and Jinling send white rice every day, and we are so close to them, but we can't share anything, I starve to death, poor me, this child is not three years old, and he will starve to death! ”

"We can't even eat, I don't know why the Liu family built the archway!

"Return the merits! Is it really merit that will make us starve so many people to death? Others eat fragrant rice, let us gnaw on tree bark and eat grass roots? ”

"It's good to eat grass roots, our children there, eat Guanyin soil, can't pull down the stool, just die like that!"

In fact, there were many people who had no food to eat at this time in other places, and many people starved to death, but it is a pity that some people are deliberately spreading rumors behind their backs, and the Liu family is outnumbered.

The people, who were angry and did not know the truth, secretly demolished the merit archway of the Liu family in the middle of the night when the third watch was unprepared.

Qiao Huchen immediately made people write: Liu's fang pai fell in the middle of the night for no reason, which shows that God did not let Lord Liu erect this archway.

The emperor gladly agreed.

In the eyes of the ancients, the cause of the catastrophe was caused by the emperor's immorality. He, the emperor, was trying his best to think about how to write the edict of sin, but the Liu family became a meritorious minister because of the locusts, and the more the emperor thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he couldn't wait to let the Liu family disappear immediately.

Since Wang Sanbao used Shen Jiaqing to restrain Yu Xiang, no matter what the emperor does, he is no longer as timid as before. It was only at this time that he understood why power was so obsessed, and how could he let the light of a small prefect overshadow him? (To be continued.) )
