In fact, people are extremely complex.

It is so complicated that even the closest people cannot probe a person's heart.

After all, people's hearts are like the sea and unfathomable.

Wang Jin is very complicated right now.

On the one hand, he was tired of Chen Zhengtai for instigating the emperor to punish the Deng family, and he also hated Chen Zhengtai for breaking the door of the Yangzhou Wang family.

But on the other hand...... Seeing such a scene today, the whole person seems to be touched, after all, people's hearts are still long, Wang Jin is not stupid, suddenly felt how difficult the people's livelihood is, thinking that he is on the road, he can't even eat steamed cakes and jerky, not to mention eating bran vegetables every day.

But these small people eat this chaff every day, and even feel that they stutter, so they feel satisfied.

Wang Jin's heart was deeply touched, at this moment he was thinking about the books he read on weekdays, and at this moment this scene seemed a little ridiculous.

Of course, the most important thing is that now he has the motivation to love the people.

You don't have compassion for these people, how can you catch Chen Zhengtai's braids.

This Chen Zhengtai made a miasma in Yangzhou and implemented his new system, isn't this harmful, the people are harmed, and the family is also harmed, so he Chen Zhengtai is alone.

Chen Zhengtai is really hateful, it is not wrong to say that he is a thief.

So, everyone sat here, drinking tea and scolding a few words.

The old imperial history who was seasick before, but he took a sip of tea, and his body recovered a little, but he said, "It's just ...... His Majesty has been silent, thinking about it, he still has a little delusion about this Chen Zhengtai. After all, this Chen Zhengtai is the governor of Yangzhou, and it is only three or four months, His Majesty returned to Chang'an from the spring, and now, it is late autumn, if you add the time to counter-insurgency, these three or four months to govern Yangzhou, according to Chen Zhengtai's temperament, eight or nine times out of ten, is to blame these crimes on the head of the predecessor Wu Ming. ”

Wang Jin and the others bowed their heads: "That's what I said, but there are many crimes in it, all of which happened in the past few months, and he still wants to deny it?" This person is really shameless, if you dare to argue strongly, heh...... I will die today, and I will not spare him. ”

"Yes." Someone took the case and said indignantly: "This Chen Zhengtai, I can't let it go, if we continue to connive, we will also break the house, this kind of thing, setting a precedent, is going to mess with the world." ”

The crowd made up their minds.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin had dinner, and although all the ministers went, Li Shimin paid attention and still watched the impeachment notes several times.

He was now in a calm mood, and there was indeed an uncontrollable anger rushing into his mind, making him lose the ability to think.

But on the whole, many of the crimes still occurred before Chen Zhengtai was in Yangzhou, of course...... Many of them are recent, and in a few months, Chen Zhengtai may not be able to correct them immediately.

But...... Come to think of it...... Or his expectations for Chen Zhengtai are too high.

I thought it was ...... At least there can be less expropriation and extortion, and there should be a purge of officials, but these ...... Apparently it hasn't been done for months.

Basically, the problems left by Wu Ming before are still remnants, and I dare not say that they have intensified, but ...... This governor was indeed derelict in his duties.

Li Shimin asked Chen Zhengtai to be the governor of Yangzhou, the original intention was to make him a model in the world, if there is no example in hundreds of states in the world, would these assassins and governors be allowed to harm the people?

"Hey......" Li Shimin sighed, and then raised his eyes to look at Du Ruhui and Zhang Qian.

Then he said to Du Ruhui: "What do you have to say?" ”

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly: "For a few months, if you want to be meritorious, it's too difficult, after all, the minister is a person who has done things, but ...... In the past few months, there has been no good governance, and he Chen Zhengtai is also to blame. Isn't it a great disaster now, this great disaster has just passed, at least put a little food to relieve the people. The relief grain that Wu Ming seized is now not seen by the people here getting a penny. Of course, if you only use this to evaluate the quality of Chen Dudu, the minister thinks that it is still Meng Lang, and the quality of the feudal officials is difficult to judge without three or five years. ”

Li Shimin sighed slightly, then bowed his head and said: "Yes, I think the same way, this matter is ......" Li Shimin sighed again, couldn't make up his mind for a while, and finally relented and said: "Then let's listen to what Chen Zhengtai has to say." ”

He glanced sideways at Zhang Qian: "Where is Chen Zhengtai?" ”

"I've been waiting for His Majesty to summon me for miles."

"Announce him." Li Shimin sighed.

Zhang Qian bowed his head and hurriedly went.

After a while, Chen Zhengtai arrived with Lou Shide and others, and as soon as they arrived here, they felt a sense of murder.

Now the weather is a little cold, Chen Zhengtai is wearing an old clothes, he found that there is a good phenomenon in Yangzhou, but if his clothes are worn out, Lou Shide will wear clothes on the second day than himself. These officials under Lou Shide were stuffed one by one, and when they reached the lowest scribe, they almost had to find the clothes that had been sewn and repaired countless times to be on duty.

The entire Governor's Mansion has simply become a beggar's nest, and Chen Zhengtai also feels that it is difficult for them, so many clothes sewn by needlework and thread are lost to them to find them, but I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort.

However, wearing old clothes has nothing to do with simplicity, to a certain extent, Chen Zhengtai actually knows that this will not help to save expenses at all, but in this way, it is just to show his attitude as the new governor, with this statement, everyone will probably find out Chen Zhengtai's character, so they are not worried, there will be a misjudgment.

Entering the line, Chen Zhengtai found that many people did not give themselves a good face.

Some people even heard that Chen Zhengtai was coming, and they rushed to meet the driver together.

Chen Zhengtai felt that these people were very strange, as if they were ...... It seems that he owes them money, oh, he seems to have forgotten, as if he really owes them money, as evidenced by the Chen family's IOU.

Ah......

These people have such a good memory?

So the group entered the big tent, Li Shimin sat upright, Zhang Qian stood on one side, Du Ruhui sat at the bottom, and other officials crowded in, crowded.

Chen Zhengtai saluted.

After all, I haven't seen him for a few months, Li Shimin saw that Chen Zhengtai was thin, and smiled, after all, many days have passed, just thinking of those impeachments, and then thinking of the tragic scene here, he stretched his face again: "I have made you the governor of Yangzhou, guarding Yangzhou, I came to ask you, how is the governance of Yangzhou?" ”

I thought that Chen Zhengtai would be very ashamed to say at this time, the minister is in Yangzhou, he has just arrived, and many places are not yet familiar, not to mention that the counterinsurgency is not long ago, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be raised, and then focus on how hard he has worked, and this matter will pass.

After all, objective reasons still exist.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhengtai heard this, but immediately said: "Teacher, the students are all supervising Yangzhou, and it is very effective." ”

“……”

All of a sudden, there was silence in the tent.

All that remained was the breath of the crowd.

Fruitful......

Some even suspect that they have misheard.

This is very effective, Chen Zhengtai is not joking, right?

Li Shimin's smile that he finally showed suddenly pulled it down again, and then he stared at Chen Zhengtai and just wanted to speak.

At this time, the ministers reacted and exploded all at once.

Someone shouted: "What is effective, Chen Zhengtai, do you know how far the people have been forced by the government?" Do you know how those little officials brutalized the people? Do you know that these people have reached the point where they have no place to live, and they have to sell themselves into slavery, and those who can't even sell themselves are surviving, eating chaff and vegetables every day, and you have no conscience? Say something like that? ”

The person who spoke was very emotional, and his eyes were red.

To tell the truth, if he doesn't really come here, he really doesn't know that people are like cattle and horses, when he is in Chang'an on weekdays, he always feels that the world is peaceful, and those small people, although they are rude, but they are good, and now they should be living a good life. Where did you think of ...... It's so cruel.

Wang Jin was also furious: "If this is effective, then it is the crime of bullying the king, Chen Zhengtai, Chen Zhengtai, Your Majesty pampered you, and you are pampered and arrogant, go and see it yourself, look here...... Where is there a half-point fruitful appearance, in this case, you also say it, you are really losing your conscience. Your Majesty...... Please listen to the minister's words, Chen Zhengtai is the governor of Yangzhou, but he indulges the evil officials, does this harsh government, and brutalizes the people, which has reached the point of misery. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the ......"

Everyone spoke up and agreed.

Chen Zhengtai looked confused, and looked at everyone in puzzlement.

Then he couldn't help but say: "Everyone, everyone, don't do it, just come to impeach me Chen, this ...... This is too much to wait. ”

In fact...... Everyone is really not in a hurry to impeach, anyway, when they come to Yangzhou, they can collect the evidence at will.

But the problem is that Chen Zhengtai's sentence is so effective that it makes everyone angry, do you Chen Zhengtai treat everyone as idiots? It's insulting to me.

Wang Jin was very polite, and he couldn't wait to spit directly at Chen Zhengtai, but it was hindered that Chen Zhengtai might have soiled his own spit, so he endured it: "Chen Dudu, open your eyes and see for yourself, what is your rule in Yangzhou, you go out of this big tent, go to see those ordinary people, and see how your officials harm people!" ”

Chen Zhengtai was even more confused, looking at everyone with a straight face on him, even Li Shimin looked cold.

Obviously, Chen Zhengtai's words stimulated them.

Chen Zhengtai had no choice but to say: "What do the people outside have to do with me, Chen Zhengtai?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar, and it was really a bit unethical to say this.

At this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel cold, isn't this the second king of Yue? How many days has it been since Chen Zhengtai changed his sex?

Wang Jin shouted: "You have no ......"

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he heard Chen Zhengtai say: "This is Xiapi, I am the governor of Yangzhou, and I am also in charge of Xiapi's affairs?" ”

“……”

"What, you say it again?"

Everyone was a little confused.

Chen Zhengtai saw everyone's faces, and they all became wonderful.

Especially that Wang Jin, his face seemed to be cramping: "This is not Yangzhou?" ”

"That's right." Chen Zhengtai said confidently: "This is Xiapishan County, to get to the boundary of Yangzhou, it will take several roads, what is your name, you guy...... Anyway, I, Chen Zhengtai, am also the county prince, the governor of Yangzhou, the young Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu, and the protégé of the Son of Heaven, you guy, in order to harm me, actually took the matter of Xiapi and planted it on my head in Yangzhou, what do you mean? ”

"I ...... I ......" Wang Jin's face was miserable, he couldn't help but stomp his feet, his eyes were dark, fortunately, with his strong vitality, he finally didn't faint, so he said sharply: "This is not Yangzhou, what are you letting people get off the boat?" ”

Chen Zhengtai was annoyed: "Isn't this about to reach the boundary of Yangzhou?" Of course, we must enter the Yangzhou territory from here. Where do you get in? This place is indeed the junction of Xiapi and Yangzhou, but who said that this is Yangzhou? Don't you inquire yourselves? You are the imperial history, if you are like this, the matter of Xiapi can be planted on the head of my Yangzhou governor, is it his daughter-in-law who stole someone, and you are also to blame for the unfavorable handling of the imperial history? ”

Chen Zhengtai said that his daughter-in-law had stolen someone, and pointed to the old imperial history next to him.

The old Yushi was busy trying to dodge, not wanting Chen Zhengtai's finger to point, at this time he was ashamed and angry, covering his heart, and wanted to scold, but before the words came out, he felt as uncomfortable as a fish in his throat, but fortunately, the people on the side supported him, so that he was relieved.

Wang Jin was stunned for a while.

Not only Wang Jin, Li Shimin himself was stunned.

In fact, this is the junction place, and no one cares about it on weekdays.

And Su Dingfang is a chicken thief, he chose a small village, there are only some women and children left in this village, and there are not many people in this village for a long time.

It is the local Lizheng, who lives in a larger bazaar more than a dozen miles away.

And what insight can these old and weak, women and children have, they are completely different from the people of later generations, who often need to negotiate with the village officials, and sometimes need to go to the town to do errands. It's just that in this era, people don't have this habit, they only know that they live in Luhua Village, and they only know that they come from the city to urge the grain from above, and the scope of their activities may not exceed thirty miles in a lifetime, as for the complex administrative division of the Tang Dynasty, it has nothing to do with them.

Of course, Wang Jin and these people will not ask.

At this time, someone hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, Shanyang County Ling Wenji, I heard that Your Majesty is here, and I have come to ask to see you." ”

Over here...... It's Shanyang County......

People have blind spots.

People mistakenly think that when they get off the boat, it is the boundary of Yangzhou, where do they know......

And Shanyang County obviously does not belong to Yangzhou.

Dare to collect so much evidence of the crime, and work hard to go deep into the small people, the result is ...... The complainant is the history of the Xiapi assassination and the Shanyang County Order?

Of course, there is also the Shanyang Lu family, I'm afraid I can't run away.

Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when he heard that the county order of Shanyang County was coming, his heart soared again, and he was angry: "Xuanlai." ”

The ministers in the tent, embarrassed for a while, Wang Jin still couldn't turn a corner, he thought silently in his heart, why is it not Yangzhou, why is it not Yangzhou?

He vaguely guessed whether this Chen Zhengtai was deliberate.

Definitely, yes.

This brute, he can do such a thing.

A moment later, the Shanyang County Ling Wenji arrived.

Wen Ji was already frightened, and came in tremblingly, and bowed when he saw Li Shimin: "Your Majesty passed through Shanyang County, and the lower officials couldn't meet it from afar, which is really a crime of death." ”

Really......

It's really Shanyang County in Xiapi.

Li Shimin really didn't know whether he was happy or good, he only bowed his head to Shanyang County: "You came just in time, you have been in office in this county for a few years?" ”

"This ...... Two and a half years ......" Wenji felt that something was wrong, and his heart became more and more panicked.

Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai, and then at Wen Ji: "I heard that there were thieves in the county, but before that, why didn't anyone report it." ”

"This ...... This ......"

Li Shimin said: "Have you killed it? ”

"Suppress ...... Suppressed ...... No, it's too late, it's too late. It's just that...... This thief is nothing but a grasshopper after autumn, and as soon as the officers and soldiers arrive, they will scatter the birds and beasts. ”

"Heh......" Li Shimin sneered.

At this time, the ministers found that there seemed to be no fun in life, and they drooped their heads one by one, and then looked at the Shanyang County Order with sympathetic eyes.

"Is there just a thief?" At this time, it was Chen Zhengtai who spoke.

As soon as his words fell, everyone immediately lifted their spirits.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai.

Chen Zhengtai said awe-inspiringly: "Teacher, Shanyang County is adjacent to Yangzhou, the situation here, the students also know a little bit about the situation, originally His Majesty arrived in Yangzhou, the students will play this matter, but today, this county order is coming, the students have a lot of things to play, not to mention anything else, just say that this Shanyang County, and even the entire Xiapi, which place, is not full of devastation?" Teacher...... Do you know why? This is because the parents, officials, and evil officials collude with the clan. They are in cahoots with each other, in order to exploit the land of the small people, in order to plunder people into slaves, it can be said that they have hollowed out their minds. Although the students are in Yangzhou, they have also heard about it, where is there half a point of the king's law, colluding with each other, fish and flesh the people, I don't know how many people have been killed. ”

"Teacher...... You are the Son of Heaven, and you are the father of all the people of the world, who else can you rely on when the people are bullied by them? And these officials are all appointed by the imperial court, if they resent the officials, sooner or later...... Resent the court. Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat...... Dare to ask the teacher, in this world, do you want to continue like this Shanyang County? I don't have to do that...... Go down? If this continues, although those who sit in the world can sit in the world, and those who are rich and noble can still be rich, but ...... What about compassion? What about the responsibilities of the imperial court? Is it okay to ignore these? ”
