Chapter 126: Framing and Attacking, Chasing the Wind and Shadows
At night, in the courtyard of the Zheng family's house, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, and several hot orchids were dancing hard.
And who is the person invited by the Zheng family today, it is none other than the two imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Zhou Wantai and Wang Daozheng... Before the Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, this imperial history platform was only heard, and had no judicial power. Zhenguanjian, the Imperial Historical Observatory set up a prison to accept special litigation cases.
The Imperial History Observatory is the main official of the Imperial History Doctor, and the deputy of the Imperial History, leading the Imperial History, serving the Imperial History in the Palace, and supervising the Imperial History.
Zhou Wantai and Wang Daozheng supervised the imperial history, and were in charge of supervising hundreds of officials, inspecting counties and counties, correcting prisons, and purging the court.
Zheng Qian invited the two superintendents to the imperial history, entertained them with delicious food and drink, and then gave enough money, and then revealed that Li Chengqian, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, and Niu Jinda may have formed a party for personal gain because of Li Zhan's bonds.
Everyone knows that in any dynasty, the prince and the heroes are mixed together, it is definitely a taboo for the emperor, so Zhou Wanmin and Wang Daozheng are very happy to get the evidence in their hands, and they don't need Zheng Qian to say it anymore, the two of them are already eager to try.
............................
The next day... The daily morning dynasty in the Taiji Palace has begun again.
During this period of time in the Tang Dynasty, the foreign soldiers were victorious, but... At this time, it is time for Datang to sow seeds, in this case... It's a little unfavorable to the sowing of Datang.
Because Datang is a government military system, the most important feature of this government military system is the integration of soldiers and farmers. In peacetime, the government soldiers were farmers who cultivated the land, trained in agricultural gaps, and fought in the army in wartime.
When everyone goes to war, there will be less strong labor, and when there is less strong labor, then who will plow the fields, who will fetch water, who will sow seeds... That's when the problem comes to mind.
"Your Majesty... Now our household department has calculated that we still have at least 100,000 people missing, according to Si Tianjian's survey, in another ten days, there will be heavy rain, Your Majesty, we must plow all the fields of the whole country within ten days, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses. ”
In the Taiji Palace, it was Xiao Yu who stood up and spoke, and this Xiao Yu is the current Hubu Shangshu.
After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Li Shimin also pondered for a while and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a way for us to plow all the fields of the whole country within ten days?" ”
Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty... We don't have a lot of people, but what we need more is to plough the fields, and now that many of the families have ploughed their fields, we can go and rent them from those families.
And then distribute it to the people for free, and in this way, I think it can greatly alleviate our population shortage. ”
"Hey... It's a good method. Li Shimin's eyes lit up, he could rent the cattle from the family gatekeeper's home, and then lend them to the people for use, and exchange them back when they ran out, which was simply a stroke of God.
It's just that Li Shimin hasn't been happy for a while, and Xiao Yu on the side showed a helpless look and said, "Your Majesty... We have already thought of this method, but we have found the Zheng family, the Cui family, and the Lu family... All of these families refused, citing that their cattle were not rented.
If His Majesty needs it, he can buy it, a hundred times. ”
"A hundred...?" Wei Chigong roared: "Their cattle are golden, bullying us for not understanding the price of cattle, the best ploughing cattle, but only fifteen." ”
"Jingde, don't make a noise...!" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Aiqing, you tell me, why do their cattle have a hundred times?" ”
"Uh...!" Xiao Yu knew that Li Shimin was already angry, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Those families said that their cattle were well eaten and slept well, and they could not be compared with other cultivated cattle at all.
Moreover, their cattle sleep with the sound of silk and bamboo, so a hundred guan is still cheap. ”
"Bastard...!" Li Shimin shouted: "I still have people in the Tang Dynasty who have no tiles to cover their bodies, and the cattle of their family still have to sleep with the sound of silk and bamboo." ”
This loud shout shocked all the officials in the audience.
Because this is Li Shimin's real anger, these family valves are really too much, at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji got up and said: "Your Majesty is angry... The minister thought that we could go elsewhere to buy farming cattle, and it didn't have to be from a family. ”
"Yes... Therefore, I intend to ask Your Majesty to allocate 500,000 yuan... Go to buy ploughing cattle...! Xiao Yu hurriedly bowed and said.
Li Shimin was helpless, there was only this way, but he didn't know, the time was not enough, he could only hope that the rainstorm would come later, otherwise, it would be really troublesome.
Just after the matter was discussed, Li Shimin was ready to disperse the dynasty.
Suddenly, Zhou Wantai, the superintendent of the imperial history, got up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”
"What?" Li Shimin asked unhappily.
"The minister wants to participate in the support of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he has the heart of not being a minister."
"Poof...!" After Zhou Wanmin finished speaking, the audience was shocked, and Li Chengqian stood up directly from his position and bowed to Li Shimin: "Father, Zhou Yushi slandered me, how can my sons have the heart of disobedience?" ”
Zhou Wantai was very confident at this time, he directly took out a letter and handed it over: "Your Majesty... This list contains everything about the crown prince, and he and a common man named Li Zhan have raised 1,500 people in Dunhuafang, and this kind of disobedience is simply obvious. ”
"I didn't... The people in Dunhuafang are all workers recruited by my eldest brother, I just borrowed a place to make a workshop for my eldest brother, that's all, father, please believe me. With that, Li Chengqian knelt down.
It's just that when Li Shimin got Zhou Wanmin's book, Wang Daozheng on the side also got up and said, "Your Majesty... The ministers want to join His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to form a party for personal gain. ”
"Forming a party for personal gain?" In an instant, the hundred officials on the Taiji Palace were shocked again.
Li Tai and Li Ke are both happy in their hearts, what is this called, someone actually took the initiative to start tripping the prince, it's not too cool.
"What evidence is there?" Li Shimin asked.
"Yes..." Wang Daozheng bowed and said: "Yesterday, Li Zhan was accused of adultery, and in less than a cup of tea, Qin Guogong, Cheng Guogong, Wei Chi Guogong and Niu Jungong broke into the lobby of Chang'an County together, and took Li Zhan away without asking.
Why? A small common person can get such support from three princes and one county prince, obviously, these should be the instructions of the prince.
The crown prince formed a party with Li Zhan and three state princes and a county prince for personal gain. ”
As soon as the words were finished, Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong, and Niu Jinda Qiqi took a step forward and said, "Weichen is wronged!" ”
Then Qin Qiong raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers will never form a party with His Royal Highness the Prince, we and Your Majesty will not form a party with anyone, and the ministers will always be the knife in Your Majesty's hands."
is good with Li Zhan, that is because Li Zhan's adultery is false, and secondly, Li Zhan saved the life of the old minister... ”
Before Qin Qiong finished speaking, he heard Wang Daozheng immediately ask: "Qin Guogong, you said that Li Zhan had saved your life, but what about Cheng Guogong and Wei Chi Guogong?" They were also saved by Li Zhan?
Forget it... You are quibbling...! ”
"No... This is not a quibble...! Qin Qiong wanted to explain again.
But I heard a burst of shouts from the dragon chair: "Enough...!" ”
