Chapter 472: The Scholars Forced the Palace

After two years of reclamation, the farmland and steel mills on Longshou Yuan have developed very prosperously, not only the life of the people here is getting better and better, but even the entire Chang'an City has been driven by here.

The people who are cultivating here all simply believe that Li Chengqian gave them the good life they have today, so they want to grow more grain to repay Li Chengqian.

A few days ago, Li Chengqian sent someone to bring them "South China Sea Rice" rice seeds, saying that His Royal Highness King Wu had harvested them from the South China Sea, and this kind of rice seeds that could harvest two crops a year made these people very excited. Some old people don't even sleep when they look at the rice seeds, they go to the fields during the day to turn over the soil, and they gather together at night to discuss how to grow this kind of rice.

These "South Sea Rice" are as precious as newborn babies in their eyes, and they are carefully planted in the most fertile land on the Longshou Plain.

Because of their desire to harvest rice twice a year, they even forgot Li Chengqian's admonition to plant a few acres of land on a trial basis, and planted all the "South China Sea Rice" rice seeds in one go, and finally planted nearly 100 acres of land.

On this day, after finishing their work in the fields, the people on Longshou Yuan went to the ridge where the "South China Sea rice" was planted to see a few old farmers irrigating the rice fields.

Just as they were staring at the rice fields one by one, they suddenly saw Wang Qun leading a group of people over.

As soon as some of the armor chiefs saw Wang Qun followed by the East Palace, they knew that they were going to act for them again, so they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Wang Qun and the others, and asked suspiciously: "Lord Wang, is this time of spring ploughing, still acting for us?"

Wang Qun said as he walked forward: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send an order from Youzhou, ordering the official to make up a play about some of the things in their Hebei Province and show them to you. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still thinking about us in Youzhou, so you must take a look!"

"It's ......"

The people enthusiastically followed Wang Qun to the threshing floor to watch the play.

From this day on, Wang Qun took the East Palace every night to worship, and publicized the "Record of the Crimes of the Fanyang Lu Family in the Past Dynasties" to the ordinary people in the farms or markets around Chang'an City.

……

……

On this day, the Guozi Priest went to the Changle Princess's Mansion to mourn, and as soon as he returned to the Guozijian, he saw that the subordinate officials hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Qiqi Sacrifice Wine Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send us a thousand sets of new books." ”

Yan Shigu dismounted as soon as he heard this, handed over the reins of the horse to the entourage beside him, looked at the subordinate official and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a scholar and a celestial, and the books given must be good books. ”

Hearing this, the subordinate official said with an ugly face: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, let's first read the book given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before making a decision." ”

"Oh?"

Yan Shigu was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what this subordinate official meant, and stared at the subordinate official with fixed eyes.

"The book given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is called "Records of the Crimes of the Fan Yang Lu Clan in the Past Dynasties".

"Write about Fan Yang Lu's?"

Yan Shigu asked a nonsense.

The subordinate official replied in a low voice: "When the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine is not there, the official opened it and read some of it, and it was written that the people of the Fanyang Lu clan had bullied men and women in recent decades......"

Yan Shigu frowned when he heard this, and finally asked nervously, "Did the person who delivered the book say anything?"

"I only sent a book, but I didn't say anything, but the preface of the book was written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, which means that we will pass on these books so that everyone in the world will know about the evil deeds of the Fan Yang Lu clan in the past dynasties."

Yan Shigu was relieved when he heard this, and slowly walked towards the Guozi Prison. After walking a few steps, he slowly ordered: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent the book, it can't be put in our hands, take it out and quietly distribute it to the students!" ”

Hearing this, the subordinate officer walked away with a bitter face: "Obey!" ”

……

Xu Jingzong worked very hard this time and wrote very well.

Youzhou Daxingtai and Donggong were printed at the same time, and the "Records of the Crimes of the Fanyang Lu Family in the Past Dynasties" printed in Chang'an was mainly sent to the yamen.

It's just that outside of the Royal Military and Political Academy, the person who received the book barely made any sound after reading it.

Because they have seen many of the most heinous things written in the book, some of them have done such things in their families or themselves, and although they think about it in hindsight, they never think that these things are sinful.

Now the East Palace treats these things as extremely heinous things, how can they still live?

However, the Tang people still need some face, although they are very disdainful of Li Chengqian's practice of avenging the people's grievances, but no one has jumped out to clear the innocence of these things.

In Princess Changle's Mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji was sitting in the backyard dressed in black, holding a copy of "Fan Yang Lu's Crime Record of the Past Dynasties" in his hand.

His third son, Changsun Jun, and fourth son, Changsun Yan, stood by and waited, and Changsun Chong was handling Princess Changle's funeral in the front yard.

A little farther away, there were several officials from the Hebei Taoist clan, all of whom looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with sad faces.

After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji put down the book and smiled slightly: "Xu Jingzong's writing is really getting better and better. ”

"No matter how good the writing is, he is also a villain, and he writes about these trivial things." The seventeen-year-old eldest grandson Yan was unconvinced.

"Humph!"

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at him.

When the eldest grandson Yan saw this, he hurriedly bent down and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Father, did the child say something wrong?"

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji angrily put down the book in his hand, looked at the eldest grandson and scolded: "What is not a thing, do you think that your father doesn't know about the things you do on weekdays?"

Changsun Yan is a well-known trouser in Chang'an City, and he relies on the power of his family on weekdays to bully men and women in Chang'an City. At this time, hearing that the eldest grandson Wuji had the intention of settling accounts after the autumn, he was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

"Father, it's hard to guarantee that people like ours don't have some such things, and Donggong ordered someone to compile a book, so it's a bit of a fuss, right?" The eldest grandson Jun hurriedly laughed.

"What do you know?" The eldest grandson Wuji closed the book as he spoke, pinched the book with two fingers and shook it at everyone, and said confidently: "With this crime record, how does Li Chengqian deal with the Hebei Taoist clan, and no one can overturn the case for the Hebei Taoist clan for thousands of years." ”

"Huh?"

"Although the eldest grandson's uncle, Fan Yang Lu's family, is irretrievable, can I, Zhaojun Li's family, escape this catastrophe?" An official from the Li clan of Zhao County was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward.

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at the official, and said with an indifferent smile on his face: "Lord Li asked the old man the wrong person, the old man has been thinking about it behind closed doors at home now, and he is still powerless to ask about the affairs of the court, not to mention what is Youzhou Daxingtai going to do?"

"Alas!"

Several officials standing in the distance looked even more bitter when they heard this, their families were all separated from the Taoist clan in Hebei, and they used to be able to proudly say a word to people wherever they went, "a certain person from a certain place and a certain clan" The other party must be in awe when he hears it, and look up at him.

Right now...... Let's not talk about anything else, anyway, the people of the Fan Yang Lu clan don't dare to mention that they are from the Fan Yang Lu clan.

The eldest grandson Wuji said that, and his eyes stared at the officials.

After a while, seeing that the face of one of the officials changed repeatedly, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "The only way to do this is to ask Your Majesty to give an order to stop His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Find more people for us, and go to see Your Majesty together!" Another official said loudly.

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard the meaning of his words, he actually wanted to coerce Li Shimin with everyone, and he sneered in his heart, but his face remained silent.

In the early Tang Dynasty, most of the so-called five surnames and seven families were maintained by the prestige of the past, and if there was no rise of the five surnames and seven families during the Tang Xuanzong period and later, later generations would not necessarily attach importance to the so-called five surnames and seven families.

During the Zhenguan period, these people wanted to threaten Li Shimin with a false name, which was no different from looking for death.

"A few people are easy to go, and the old man is inconvenient to send them off." The eldest grandson Wuji didn't know when he stood up, and sent them away with a slight bow.

After a few people left, the eldest grandson Yan asked inexplicably: "Didn't my father say that the more we pay attention to this book, the more it will spread, but it has helped Li Chengqian." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued to lie down and read without saying anything.

……

Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.

Princess Changle has been dead for more than ten days, Li Shimin is in a good mood, but Duke Jinyang is sick, and Li Shimin is always depressed.

However, because there was no serious prime minister in the DPRK and China, Li Shimin's way of handling government affairs was still inspired by Li Chengqian, and he summoned the Zhongshu Order of Zhongshu Province and several Zhongshu scholars to the front of him to vote for it.

Princess Jinyang's illness was slightly better, and Li Shimin began to deal with the government again.

On this day, after Li Shimin finished dealing with the government affairs, he looked at Ma Zhou and the others and asked, "Have you read the "Record of the Crimes of the Fanyang Lu Clan in the Past Dynasties" sent by Cheng Qian?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has watched some of it in the past two days after dealing with official business." Ma Zhou replied calmly.

"How do you feel?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Shocking!"

Li Shimin said coldly when he heard this: "Hmph, saying that it is the 'Record of Crimes of the Past Dynasties' is actually only a matter of the last few decades, but it is the events of the past few decades that make me shudder!" ”

Ma Zhou nodded and continued: "The Hebei Taoist clan has always claimed to use books and rites to pass on their families, and they think very highly of themselves, but secretly they are thieves of the remnants of the people, and they are filthy. ”

Li Shimin first nodded when he heard this, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Cheng Qian's book has also been circulating in Chang'an City for a few days, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty has dared to speak out. ”

Seeing this, Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and saluted Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, it may not be a good thing for the Manchu Dynasty to not speak. ”

"Oh?"

Ma Zhou saw that Li Shimin was puzzled and explained: "Although there are not many officials from the Hebei Taoist clan in the court today, most of the officials are generations after the eunuchs, although the four surnames of Hebei Province are not prominent, but if there is no family and no book, I am afraid it is not the truth."

Now, if you come out and scold the Hebei Taoist clan, be targeted by others, and pick out this kind of thing for impeachment, isn't it ugly?

And as soon as this case is opened, the court is afraid that it will be chaotic. ”

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Ma Qing's words are reasonable, but they are cheaper." ”

Ma Zhou saw that Li Shimin's mind was uneasy, and continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, rest assured, even if no one stands up to speak, the officials in the court will have to be more restrained after this matter." ”

Li Shimin listened to this, and then nodded "um" and gave up.

Ma Zhou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the other scholars in Hebei Province had not all been raided, and it was really inappropriate for the court to make trouble.

It's just that I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince released the "Record of the Crimes of the Fan Yang Lu Clan in the Past Dynasties" at this time.

Li Shimin and Ma Zhoujunchen had a conversation, and they both planned to put this matter aside for the time being, and in their opinion, this matter could be regarded as the past.

But soon, an attendant came in in with a panicked look and reported: "Your Majesty, there are dozens of officials outside clamoring to see Your Majesty at the gate of the palace, and a few people are crying at the gate of the palace wearing linen and filial piety. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then Huo Di got up, stared at his two round eyes and asked, "What's going on?"

Ma Zhou and a few Chinese scholars also looked inexplicable, and ran to the gate of the palace to mourn.

Impatient to live?

"Slaves don't know either!"

"Rubbish!"

Li Shimin scolded angrily.

The attendant was so frightened that he lay on the ground and said with a crying voice: "They suddenly ran to the gate of the palace, shouting and howling, and the slaves and maids rushed in to play Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin's face was angry when he heard this, and his eyes erupted with fire: "I want to see who is so bold and dares to go to the gate of the palace to spread wild?"

Then take a big stride and go out.

When Ma Zhou and the others saw it, they hurriedly followed.

Li Shimin and his entourage came to Chengtianmen in a hurry, and saw Chang He, the general guarding the palace gate, standing under the Chengtianmen Gate and looking out.

"Chang Ho! What are you looking at?" Li Shimin asked loudly.

Chang He turned around and saw Li Shimin walking, hurriedly turned around and trotted all the way to Li Shimin, and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, all the officials who came outside are from the Hebei Taoist clanβ€”β€”"

"Hmph, the Taoist clan of Hebei is greedy, they have taken millions of people for nothing, and they even harbor evil intentions to murder the prince, I haven't cured them yet, they came to block my door first." Li Shimin said as he walked forward.

Chang He was interrupted by Li Shimin before he finished speaking, and hurriedly walked to Li Shimin's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister heard from the official from the Fanyang Lu clan that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to dig up the ancestral grave of the Fanyang Lu clan." ”

"What?"
