Chapter 21 [Gu Tianya's Proposal, the Battle in the Court]

The next day, in the wee hours of the morning.

When the palace bell rings three times, it is the morning of the day.

It was still dark and the atmosphere was oppressive.

The so-called court since ancient times has always been a sword and a sword, and today, it is bound to be another fight.

At the moment when the early dynasty of the Tang Dynasty opened, there were two places in the world at the same time to condense their eyes, as if they wanted to look beyond time and space and directly observe the scene of today's early dynasty.

Two places, two people.

A Luoyang.

A Hebei.

In Luoyang, Li Shimin looked up at the sky with his hands in his hands, and a woman sat quietly behind him, making him a pot of tea with light movements.

Just between the fragrance of tea, Li Shimin slowly spit out four words in his mouth and said softly: "It's going to start." ”

These four words seem to be emotional, and they seem to have made up some kind of determination, from this moment on, Li Shimin knew that he had finally decided to fight hard.

The establishment of a new type of post station in the entire Tiance Mansion has begun to fall in anticipation of this bureau.

……

At the same time, somewhere in Hebei.

A woman rode alone on horseback, looking like an aimless traveler, but the direction she traveled was directed towards some desolate and weak village.

At this time, the sky was not yet dawn, and the cold wind from Hebei was howling, and the woman suddenly stopped her horse and stopped, jumped off her mount and stood on the ground.

She bent down and grabbed a handful of snow, and when the ice and snow melted into water in her palm, the woman's eyes also looked at Chang'an like Li Shimin in Luoyang.

"It's time to start!" She muttered softly in her mouth, exhaling a thick white breath.

……

At the same moment, it seems to be a coincidence.

Gu Tianya bid farewell to his mother and led thirteen women out of the village.

There are a total of fifteen families in the entire Gujia Village, and almost all of them are left with the old, weak, sick and disabled, but no matter how old, weak, sick and disabled, as long as people live for a day, they have to eat.

In a poor home, there was no overnight food, so Gu Tianya had to take on the responsibility of being the only man in the village, and he had to take the women out of the village to earn a bite to eat and drink.

Of the fifteen households, only thirteen were left to do the work.

And all of them were widowed women.

No matter how cold the weather is or how cold the water is, they will dig up the silt in the ditches of the ditches all over the world and make fertilizer for spring sowing at the beginning of spring.

After a day of hard work, you can get a ration for one person, and another will be given, copper coins and three pennies.

Gu Tianya can earn five wen a day, but women are only worth three wen a day.

Although he only has three articles, he can buy some food to save the lives of the old and young left behind at home.

So, I had to go to work.

This is the life of the poor.

I am not qualified to talk about anything willing, and it is good to be able to live.

Gu Tianya was the only man in the village, and he needed to take the widows to struggle for a living, but he never imagined that his proposal would make the big people in the world go crazy and be fighting.

……

On the side of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, the early dynasty has already begun.

Today's court dispute, the ministers have long been aware of it, so they are too lazy to find excuses, and someone directly stood up to refute it, and said loudly: "The minister has heard that the Hebei military has written to, saying that it is to set up a new type of post station, and it is called to ensure the smooth flow of messengers. ”

I saw him standing in the middle of the hall and talking, constantly quoting scriptures: "The post station, the stack of post horse replacement, since the time of the Yin Shang Dynasty, passed to the Zhou Dynasty to form a common practice, no matter the Qin and Han dynasties, or the north and south of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the function of the post station has always been only one, that is, it is responsible for the transmission of letters from the imperial court." ”

He paused as he spoke, and before anyone could speak, he continued: "As the old saying goes, you must not change the rules without permission, and if you change them, it will be a great disaster for the people, so the minister thinks that the affairs of the post station should continue to follow the precedent, and only need to raise a few batches of fast horses to meet the replacement of the messenger's mount, so that it is enough." We must not make a big move, so as not to cause calamity to the country and the people. ”

Wenchen is Wenchen, and the truth will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

This man talked at length and on and on, obviously because he had been fully prepared last night, and before he finished his words, he was immediately echoed by a large number of civil officials.

So this person's momentum became more and more vigorous, and he bowed to the emperor, and said loudly: "The matter of the military book of Hebei Province is clearly the ill-intentioned of the four deputy generals, and the minister, Wang Xun, dare to ask Your Majesty to issue an edict, and the four will set an example for the punishment." ”

"Ministers, please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree and punish the four generals of Hebei as an example."

A group of civil officials of the family almost spoke in unison.

Unfortunately, everyone knows that this is impossible. The four lieutenants who condemned Hebei? There's a kind of you to try to condemn one. Although the four generals are only deputy generals, they are the right-hand men of the women's army, with 200,000 soldiers and horses under their command, all of whom are like killing gods.

If they are condemned, who will help Datang guard the border?

Sure enough, I saw Li Yuan speak lightly, waved his hand and said: "Don't mention the matter of condemnation, the four generals of Hebei all have outstanding military exploits, wouldn't it be a soldier's heart to surrender at will?" I don't accept this advice. ”

In fact, the family also knew that this proposal would definitely not be accepted, and the reason why the advice was made was nothing more than to bargain.

Therefore, they quickly revealed their true intentions, and admonished again in a loud voice: "Then issue a reprimand to show your majesty's majesty and law." ”

As long as the decree can be reprimanded, it is equivalent to rejecting the establishment of a new type of post station, and in this way, the purpose of the family has been achieved.

It's a pity that there is more than one side of the family in the court.

Just when everyone in the family was admonishing loudly, they suddenly heard a sneer in the court, and someone scolded angrily: "It's all!" It's a shame to say! If you want to reprimand the four generals of Hebei, there is a kind of you to try to reprimand one? Let's see if the four guys over there will listen, and don't force people into the mountains if you are in a hurry. When the time comes, force out the four giant bandits, and slaughter your family first......"

As soon as this person scolded, a needle drop in the court could be heard suddenly.

The faces of the civil officials of the family changed faintly, but unfortunately they couldn't refute it for a while.

The family is good at playing rules, and likes to hold high the stick of reason to beat people, but what the family is most afraid of is people who don't follow the rules, but the four generals in Hebei used to be unreasonable people.

Those four people used to be unscrupulous giants.

used to plunder and kill like hemp, and those who plundered and killed were all family valves.

If you are really in a hurry, I am afraid that you will really go back to the mountains and fall into the grass.

Obviously, the method of issuing a reprimand will certainly not work. After all, now is the time when the troubled times have just settled, and the Li family is not willing to treat the fierce generals under their command too harshly.

However, the officials of the Maison could not give up on this.

But seeing Wang Xun bowed again, he admonished Li Yuan: "The minister heard that the four lieutenant generals have always been the princess's head, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are loyal, as long as it is the princess's order, the four generals will inevitably bow their heads, why don't Your Majesty reprimand them in the name of the princess, presumably the four lieutenants will never dare to complain." ”

This is shameless enough.

He can be shameless, and others can scold, just listen to the voice from before sounding again, and break out: "Fuck the mother, do you want to be shameless?" The four generals of Hebei have always been loyal to the princess, but you asked Your Majesty to reprimand them in the name of the princess, such a shameless proposal, I am afraid that only you wolf hearts can come up with it. it, God doesn't fight for it, can't you chop a few thunders, and kill these unconscionable dogs. ”

This scolded too harshly, how could the family side stand it, but seeing Wang Xun jumping like thunder, he angrily pointed at this person: "Hou Junji, you dare to make noise even if you are a young child?" This is a court discussion, how solemn and solemn, you are like a yellow-haired child spewing feces in his mouth, but where do you put your majesty's majesty and law? ”

The scolding young man over there smiled, walked out and saluted Li Yuan first, his demeanor was very respectful, and he couldn't see a trace of madness, but he then looked at Wang Xun, and once he scolded, and shouted: "Dry mother, I will scold, for Your Majesty's majesty and law, I, Hou Junji, are naturally respectful and respectful, but for some wolf-hearted and dog-like things, hey, I feel that I have defiled my mouth when I scold people." ”

Wang Xunqi's face is pale, and he is about to fight as soon as he rolls up his sleeves, the civil officials of this era are not weak, and they may not be worse than the generals when they fight.

But at this time, I suddenly heard someone among the civil officials speak lightly, and said leisurely: "If there is a private dispute, the next court will quarrel again, and at this time the court is discussing political affairs, how can it be like a street child?" ”

This sentence seemed to remind Wang Xun, who was embarrassed and angry, and sure enough, Wang Xun's face sank, and he quickly reacted that he had fallen for Hou Junji.

The reason why Hou Junji scolded people was nothing more than a trick to stir up nonsense, if he only cared about quarreling with Hou Junji, he would put aside the matter of Hebei.

At that time, the Li family's royal family will work together, and the matter of the new post station will not be stopped if they want to.

After Wang Xun figured this out, his angry breath quickly calmed down, he stroked his beard lightly, and suddenly looked at Hou Junji with a smile on his face, and said, "General Hou scolds people, no matter how loud the scolding is, after all, he still can't stand a single word." The matter of Hebei Post Station can never be achieved, there is no other reason, it is just a waste of labor and money......"

Hou Junji immediately retorted, glared at him and said, "Did Hebei let you pay for it?" Did you let the imperial court pay for it? ”

Wang Xun was still calm, and said lightly: "Even if you don't need the court to pay for it, but it also occupies the land of the world, a post station, and you have to have as much as a thousand acres of land, isn't this a competition with the people?" Isn't this a waste of money and labor? ”

Hou Junji immediately retorted again, and said loudly: "Hebei Province has been plagued by soldiers for many years, and there is desolate and ownerless land everywhere. The wasteland was reclaimed by the post station soldiers, and the harvested grain was directly fed back to the local people. ”

These words made Wang Xun speechless for a moment, because what Hou Junji said was the truth.

The affairs of the world can't escape a single word, no matter how good the family is, but some truths can never be quibbled, because sophistry can't coax people like fools.

The benefits of having land in the post station can be seen by a discerning person, so because of this, Wang Xun can't make a fuss about it.
