Chapter 177: The apse
The expression is kind, the words are humble, and the content is familiar, but hearing this sentence, the anger in Li Chengqian's heart is even stronger.
With Yan Liben in front, now Duan Lun's behavior of stealing his name is extremely disgusting in his opinion.
"Since you made this thing, why hasn't you seen you in the whole process of research and development?"
"Your Highness, this is a joke, you have never been to the Ministry of Works, how can you see the lower officials."
"You mean, the cement was researched in your department?"
"Exactly...."
Everyone looked at Duan Lun and Li Chengqian's conversation in puzzlement, they were all clear-eyed people, although the prince had already concealed it well, but the anger in his eyes seemed to be gushing out of his eyes.
What's wrong?
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask, "Cheng Qian, what's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with Duan Qing's cement? ”
Li Chengqian smiled, pushed Yan Liben away again, pointed at Duan Lun and said, "This is strange, the composition of cement was first discovered by Gu, and then it was handed over to Yan Qing to gradually experiment with the formula ratio." How did it come to your mouth and become the research of the Ministry of Industry? Yes, the college is under construction, but you don't need to be a sycophant from the Ministry of Engineering, Gu has already set up a cement workshop, which can already supply the needs of the college's construction.
Unbelief? If you don't believe it, go with Lone to take a look, the cement workshop was established in Wannian County, can it still lie to you? So, Duan Shangshu, you come to tell Lone, cement, is it really researched by your Ministry of Engineering? ”
Zhang Yun's legs and feet were very neat, and it only took a few minutes before and after to get the sledgehammer, and he was very blessed to take the chain flail.
The sledgehammer was placed on the ground, which was very stable, but Duan Lun's heart felt like he had been hammered by a sledgehammer.
When Yan Liben asked him to discuss the admission of craftsmen, he learned about the existence of cement, and Yan Liben said that he wanted to discuss it with the real owner of the cement formula, but he thought that he was just a craftsman, so he coerced Yan Liben to change his nationality and forced Yan Liben to agree.
But who would have thought that the real owner of the cement formula was actually the prince!
There is no way to quibble, whether it is the cement on the construction site of the college or the existence of the cement workshop, it proves that the cement is not developed by the Ministry of Industry. I thought that I would use the credit of cement to keep my own title, so as not to be wiped out in the next turmoil, but who would have thought that I would make a fuss if I didn't get the fox skin!
"Your Highness, this matter, let...."
"No need! Didn't you coerce Yan Qing about the change of nationality of craftsmen? You see how generous Gu is, he doesn't bother to blackmail you with this. "Fastest update... / .. /
Li Chengqian flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "You might as well ask everyone present, this matter can be easily solved!" ”
Before Duan Lun could turn around, he was pointed at by Wei Zheng's halberd, and his long beard was shaking, even Wei Zheng, who was full of poetry and books, didn't know what to say.
Lao Wei usually resents people who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and one of their responsibilities is to recognize loyalty and treachery, and lawlessness within the Ping Dynasty Hall, and now the theft of his name happened in front of his eyes, which made him angry for a while.
Compared with Wei Zheng, who was speechless, Cheng Biting Jin was very direct, and slashed Duan Lun with a horizontal knife and screamed.
Fortunately, he kept his sanity and used the back of his knife.
Don't look at Lao Cheng always lying about his military exploits, but he hates things that take credit from others the most. The reason why he has been able to influence Zuo Wuwei until now is because of his protection of the subordinate soldiers. As long as you kill the enemy, you will report it and count it as a meritorious policy, but if you have the merit, needless to say, it will be the head on the ground!
Seeing that Cheng bit Jin and moved the knife, Li Jing and Li Ji hurriedly stopped Wei Chi Gong, the horizontal knife made Duan Lun's bones break at most, and the old Wei Chi shot down, even if it was smoked, Duan Lun could be pumped to death.
The sudden shocking change made Li Shimin at a loss, and ordered the generals to stop Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong, who were angry and rushing to the crown, and turned his head and asked, "Prince, what you said is true?" ”
Li Chengqian immediately saluted and said: "The truth of what the son said has never been half false!" ”
Seeing that the prince said this, Li Shimin glanced at Duan Lun with slanted eyes, and waved his hand to let the guards in front of the palace carry him away.
It was originally a good day to verify the effect of cement and upgrade the defense of Datang City, but who knew that there was such a thing!
Wei Zheng, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, immediately saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen impeached Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, for taking credit, threatening officials, and bullying the monarch for a total of three major crimes!" Your Majesty, please punish him severely! ”
Fang Xuanling also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Duan Lun's lack of weight is not enough to deter the court!" ”
Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu and others also had to second, and secretly scolded Duan Lun for being a bastard in their hearts.
On weekdays, in the court, it is already common for each other to exchange benefits for credit, and as long as the real owner of the credit gets enough benefits, they will keep their mouths shut. And those who are in higher positions will also count the merits of their subordinates on themselves with peace of mind, so as to get promoted.
This is all an unspoken rule in officialdom, but now that Duan Lun is in trouble, the emperor will inevitably strictly investigate the rule of officials. Originally, each family took the opportunity of this locust plague to arrange for some of their own family members to be promoted, but it seemed that they were all ruined!
The banquet in the drunken wind building seems to be a celebration, but it is actually a meeting of officials.
Li Chengqian didn't know that his testimony against Duan Lun's theft in court would have such an impact, and when he saw Yan Liben's shameful self-esteem, he directly dragged him over.
"Father, ministers, it should be Yan Qing who really developed the cement formula. Erchen was lazy, although he came up with the ingredients, he didn't devote himself to studying the formula ratio, so this credit should belong to Yan Qing. ”
Li Shimin sighed and said to Yan Liben: "Yan Qing, don't be ashamed. Duan Lun threatens you with a craftsman, and I will administer justice for you. But since you developed this cement, tell me about it. ”
Yan Li bowed before blushing and talking about the characteristics of cement, the output of the workshop, etc., which were not something that Duan Lun's idiot could say.
Just when Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief for Yan Liben, he suddenly felt that his face was stung by a bee, and when he looked over with his feelings, he saw that his father was looking at him with sharp eyes, and his expression was not good!
Taking advantage of the fact that his father was attracted by the highlight of the sledgehammer against cement, Li Chengqian hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away!
If you run late, you probably won't be able to run with a beating.
At that time, I was just rushed by anger, but I forgot that this was in the court, even if the dynasty was scattered and only the top boss was left, it was also the court.
Although it was the right thing to expose Duan Lun in the court, this incident was equivalent to slapping everyone in the face. Especially the emperor's face, whoever beats him will die, and those who are lucky will not die, and they will not live in peace after they die.
Sneaking out of the hall and seeing the bright sunshine outside the hall, Li Chengqian didn't have time to take a breath before he was lifted up by a thin but powerful arm.
Shocked and looked back, it turned out to be Zhang Yun.
Those who can still use their own names when they become eunuchs are all ruthless. I had doubted this person's skills before, but this time I really saw it.
Lifting himself, the bastard acted like he didn't feel anything, and his pace was fast. Hell, he didn't feel a single jolt.
Next to the Lizheng Hall is the Wanchun Palace, and then to the west is the Qianqiu Palace, and at a glance the name of the hall you know that this is named so for self-deception.
To the west of the Qianqiu Hall is the Hundred Blessing Hall, and the entire hall is specially designed for the emperor to pray for blessings. To put it bluntly, it is the act of retreat, burning incense.
But such a big hall, even if it is heavily guarded, how can it be investigated by another eunuch with a dead face when you enter?
After confirming that it was the crown prince who was carried, he was allowed to go, and walked through the empty hall until he reached the apse, where Li Chengqian was casually put on a chair by Zhang Yun.
"Your Majesty has an order, Your Highness is waiting here!"
Finished.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but touch his back and buttocks, his head is estimated to be fine, these two may not be children!
Sitting still is the most torturous, not thinking about how the Huanglong Eighteen Palms will deal with him, Li Chengqian put away his thoughts and began to look at the environment of the apse.
After looking at it, I couldn't help but shout obediently.
In the apse, except for the chairs, tables and beds, there are screens, which look messy, but Li Chengqian, who is used to living in a snail's house, knows that once they are disrupted, it will definitely make the master angry. Just look at the names and achievements of the officials densely written on it, and you know that the owner of the screen must be the emperor's father.
I couldn't help but walk in front of a screen, and the emperor liked Feibai's writing very much, that is, the effect of "not enough pen and ink". If you don't master this way of writing, the words you write will be difficult to read. But Li Shimin's handwriting is beautiful and very recognizable, and at first glance it looks like hard work.
"Shanyin County ordered the people to fight locusts, although they were locusts, they did not retreat, and they were in the middle of the work. - Decree and reward, and then have good results, and promote and don't drive. ”
"Yao Chong's method of using fire to lead locusts at night exterminated countless locusts. - Relocation of the driver. ”
"Laishan County County Order...."
After reading a screen, Li Chengqian couldn't help but admire the mysterious Hundred Horsemen.
What kind of organization does this have to be to help the emperor monitor Guanzhong so closely!
But the most admired is the emperor's father!
Li Chengqian glanced at one screen after another, and saw that the officials' achievements and bad deeds were written on them, and behind the horizontal bars, there were comments on promotions or demotions.
can care about the rule of officials to this extent, and it is really unreasonable to say that Zhenguan is not prosperous.
"See? How can it be so easy to be an emperor, Wei Zheng listens to both words and listens, and believes in secret, I don't need him to remind me, I also know this truth. It's one thing for officials to play up, it's another thing for the Hundred Horsemen to monitor. The only one who decides the promotion and debasement of officials is me, do you think I really don't know who is in the court and the middle of the court to receive rewards? Do you think I really don't know that the cement was made by you and Yan Liben? ”
Hearing this voice, Li Chengqian dodged behind the screen in a flash.
Didn't come.
Li Shimin walked to the wall next to the couch by himself, picked off a sign casually, and threw it over.
Only then did Li Chengqian find that there were signs of large and small walls hanging on the wall, but the eye color of the sign was similar to the wall, and he did not find it at the first time because of the lack of light.
Stretched out his hand to catch it, and when he saw the words "Ji Guogong Duan Lun" on the sign, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly.
Lying on the brocade very casually, Li Shimin propped his head and said leisurely: "Even if you don't expose him today, I am not ready to let his dukedom continue to occupy this wall." Duan Lun is the son of Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the military department, during the Sui Dynasty, he relied on the shade of the door to enter the office, and started in Zuo Qinwei. Don't look at him from a high-ranking family, his personality is really bad. At that time, he was known for his chivalrous temperament and unrestrained temperament.
It's ridiculous that King Xi likes him very much, and he also facilitated his marriage with Emperor Gaomi. At that time, he gathered 10,000 people in Lantian County in response to Jinyang's army. There are not many people, but because of its proximity to Chang'an, it is a great achievement. After pacifying Chang'an and supporting Emperor Gong of Sui, he awarded him the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor and the Duke of Longgang County. After Emperor Taishang ascended the throne, he was named the Governor of Horses and the Governor of Yizhou. Because of the merits of pacifying Bashu and Nanning Prefecture, he moved Xiongzhou to assassinate the history and canonized Ji Guogong.
Hehe, after all, he only has the credit of Lantian for responding to and pacifying Bashu and Nanning Prefecture. These two things can't even be rated by the Marquis. The reason why he was named the Duke of Ji Guo was that the Emperor Taishang didn't want the husband of Emperor Gaomi's sister to be too shabby. If it was only because of this, I wouldn't have moved his title, no matter what, your aunt's face would still have to be taken care of.
However, in July of the seventh year of Wude, Bashu sent envoys to pay tribute and told Duan Lun's behavior in Bashu. After Bashu was pacified, Duan Lun did his own thing, and he did not have the right to be in charge but set up officials and appointed officials. Yizhou is rich, and Duan Lun, because he has the power of life and death, relies on power to accumulate wealth, and makes the people of Yizhou miserable.
At this point, I decided to find an excuse to remove his title one day. The title of the Duke of the Kingdom cannot be obtained without great merit, even if he is a royal prince, he must follow this law. A person who is dissolute by nature, no matter what position he is in, will act wantonly, I transferred him to the Ministry of Industry as a secretary, do you know why? ”
What else can it be, fertilize! Liubu Shangshu is an important official even in the court, and once he is in power, it is strange that this guy is not arrogant.
"Erchen guesses that what you do is the same as Zhuge Zhiren, drunk with wine, to see his nature."
Although he thought so in his heart, Li Chengqian still made up a nice sentence under the gut-searching.
Li Shimin, who was lying down, was very proud, and said with a smile: "It seems that Li Gang is very serious about your teaching, yes, I and Zhuge Kongming's approach is the same." It is impossible for the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites to be unsuitable, so he can only be brought to the Ministry of Industry. ”
Sitting up as he spoke, Li Shimin pointed to the sign on the wall and said, "Take a good look, these are all titles that do not match merit and status." Nobles can't be parasites on the people, so many titles, although they are a means that the founding of the country has to be exercised to reassure the people, but now that the Tang Dynasty has been stable, it's time to reduce the burden of the empire! ”
Li Chengqian nodded, that's true, Xungui should have been the pioneer of the place he sealed. They have status, wealth, and should lead the people in their fiefdoms to develop together, but if they close the door and only enter and exit, they are indeed no different from parasites.
Unconsciously walked out from behind the screen, looked at the sign of Ji Guogong in his hand, and Li Chengqian asked for instructions on what to do.
Li Shimin pointed to a place full of waste, and lay back down.
casually threw the brand into the garbage heap, Li Chengqian knew that Duan Lun was finished this time, and the title was completely gone.
Zhang Yun is like a ghost, walking without sound.
After placing a sign on a pole and hanging it on a high place, he turned around and left.
Seeing the words "Boling County Male Yan Liben", especially seeing the position of the sign, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing.
I also lost enough money to Lao Yan today, but fortunately, this guy finally got the knighthood. Although he is only a small county man, the title he obtained at this time is iron-clad, and he will not be lightly awarded unless he is a great merit, and he will not be deprived of his great deeds. With a knighthood, it can be regarded as a stepping stone to the aristocratic class.
However, the greatest use of this title is to tell the craftsmen of the world that the title is not exclusive to the nobility, and as long as they can contribute, they may not be able to obtain it. With Yan Liben's appearance, the enterprising spirit of the craftsmen will definitely be aroused.
"I gave it to you the effect you wanted, now let's talk about your wanton nonsense in the court, right?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian dodged and hid behind the screen again.
Well, it's time to settle accounts.
Strangely, the emperor's father didn't mean to get up.
Reaching out and touching a teacup, the emperor at this time is more like an otaku than an otaku. Probably this room is the place where he can really rest.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin said: "You don't need to hide, I won't beat you." It was Zongzheng Mansion that beat you, and today your Daozong Emperor Uncle is also in the court, in addition to being the secretary of the Criminal Department, he is also the Taichangqing of Zongzheng Mansion. What you've done today is enough to be punished. In Zongzheng Mansion, my words may not work, so you might as well go and receive the punishment yourself. ”
"Zongzheng Mansion?"
Probably the previous name of the Zongren Mansion, when he thought of the Zongren Mansion in the Qing drama, Li Chengqian broke out in a cold sweat.
It's best not to go into this place once in your lifetime. It is estimated that even if it is a prince, he will not get much preferential treatment there.
As for the emperor's can't do anything about Zongzheng Mansion?
!
Looking at the evil smile on the corner of the otaku's mouth on the brocade, Li Chengqian knew that this bastard intended to let himself go in for a walk.
Forget it, it's good to have a long insight.
With a sigh, Li Chengqian arched his hand: "Erchen knows, so he will go to Zongzheng Mansion to receive the punishment." ”
Satisfied, he put his arm under his head, and Li Shimin watched Li Chengqian walk out step by step.
When he reached the curtain position, the voice of the emperor's stepfather sounded behind him.
"This is my private place, and the only people I know are your mother and a few eunuchs, and in addition to that, there is one more you today. You can't watch politics yet, so you can come here and have a look if you have time. I will tell the eunuch guarding the gate to let you in. ”
Li Chengqian turned his head and nodded, still walking out in small steps.
The biggest pain in my life is that I was caught in my finger by the door, and as for my buttocks, I was only slapped a few times by the old dean when I was a child, and it didn't hurt or itch.
This time it's over, and Li Chengqian, who thinks he doesn't have much resistance to pain, is full of fear of the upcoming board.
