"What? Is the saint throwing a tantrum? Do you know why? ”

In the State Guest House in Xixian County, Tian Lingzi, who had been on the road for a day, was receiving a massage from several eunuchs and palace maids, and he was so uncomfortable.

On the side, a small eunuch stood quietly. In addition, there is another person Li Ye is very familiar with--- Han Jian.

Han Jian is also quite capable, and after only a few months of taking refuge in Tian Lingzi, he became Tian Lingzi's confidant and has been serving him all the time.

"Returning to the Duke of the Kingdom, it seems to be because of King Shou. I heard that the saint scolded King Shou, saying that King Shou was anti-minded. The little eunuch hesitated.

"Shouwang?" Tian Lingzi's face was a little puzzled, and he began to get excited, then calmed down, raised his hand, and motioned for the massaging person to leave, "How could the saint scold King Shou for no reason?" ”

"This slave doesn't know, I only know that Wang Zhongxian, the envoy of Shannan West Dao, was also there at that time."

"Well, our family knows, let's go down!"

Tian Lingzi was also puzzled why Li Yi had different attitudes.

You must know that when he was in Mianzhou, he once said that King Shou had a bad intention, but he was reprimanded by the other party. It's good now, this majesty also scolded King Shou for being anti-minded.

But so far, King Shou has not shown his reluctance. Is it because King Shou didn't come to greet him in person? But isn't the other party sick? Even if he didn't come to greet him, it wouldn't make His Majesty lose his temper.

Or is Shouwang pretending to be sick?

"Father-in-law, now Your Majesty is also dissatisfied with King Shou, why not take this opportunity to get rid of King Shou. King Shou is the enemy of his father-in-law, and if he is not eliminated, he will be a scourge sooner or later. Han Jian suggested.

"It's not for the Longevity King right now. The top priority is to return to Chang'an and stabilize the situation in Guanzhong.

We know that you are worried that King Shou will not be good for you. Don't worry, you are now a member of our family, and King Shou can't touch you. When you return to Chang'an, our family will definitely ask for a suitable position for you, and you can't run away from the history of a state assassin.

As long as you are loyal to our family, our family will not treat you badly. ”

Tian Lingzi stretched out his hand and wanted to drink water from the teacup, only to find that the teacup was a little far away. Han Jian hurriedly bent over, carefully handed the teacup to Tian Lingzi, and waited for the other party to drink it before speaking.

"Please rest assured that the child will be loyal to his father."

Hearing Tian Lingzi's assurance, the stone in Han Jian's heart finally landed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"When we arrived in Chang'an, the situation stabilized. You have to find a way to get rid of King Shou, this King Shou is not honest, I heard that he collected commercial taxes during this period and looted a lot of money. ”

When it comes to money, Tian Lingzi has a headache. I don't know what the situation will be after returning to Chang'an, especially in terms of money, if it is not handled well, it will easily cause trouble.

"Why don't my father-in-law let King Shou give some blood and hand over the money to the court."

"You also know the relationship between the father and the king of Shou, this is not so simple."

"Then in the name of the imperial court, now the saint is also dissatisfied with King Shou. If King Shou doesn't want to become the target of public criticism, he will definitely take out the money he collected.

And there is no need for the father-in-law to come forward in this matter, the child heard that the caravans of the Jingzhao Wei family, the Jingzhao Du family and other families have also been blackmailed by King Shou. The father-in-law can use this to make a fuss, let them make trouble, and the father-in-law can add fuel to the fire. Han Jian said sinisterly.

Tian Lingzi raised his eyebrows and clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Yes, it seems that Jian'er's mind is not bad, and he can actually come up with this idea." Let's see how King Shou will deal with it tomorrow! ”

。。。。。。

Li Ye knew that he would definitely make Li Yi unhappy if he didn't accept the edict on the grounds of illness, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly and so menacingly.

The next day, when Li Yi and his entourage arrived at Xingyuan Mansion, Li Ye went to the city gate to greet him with illness. Seeing Li Ye's pale face and lips, everyone knew that he was not pretending to be sick, but really sick.

Of course, Li Ye's wind chill is actually almost good.

For the ancients, wind chill was not a minor illness, it was a death. Although ancient doctors also studied wind and cold, Chinese medicine is slow to work and is not as useful as antibiotics, especially in dealing with inflammation and bacterial infections.

In addition, the diet of the ancients is not as rich as that of modern people, the nutrition cannot keep up, and the physical fitness is naturally poor. The upper class of society is afraid of the wind and cold, let alone ordinary people.

But I don't know what's going on, Li Ye's health is very good, even if it was a cold this time, he recovered quickly, and I don't know if it's the welfare of the traverser.

But he couldn't get better so quickly, so he used ice cubes to make himself feel like he was sick, and he lied to him first.

Although it was confirmed that Li Ye was really sick, Li Yi's attitude did not ease.

In the Taoist temple where Li Yi and others stayed, in front of Li Yi, the ministers below began to attack Li Ye.

Taoism was the state religion in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ye did not like Buddhism. After he entered the Xingyuan Mansion, more than a dozen temples in the entire Xingyuan Mansion were either demolished or should be used for other purposes. Just like Jingming Temple was changed into Shannan Academy, some were directly changed to Taoist temples.

As for the monks, most of them, except for some, were forcibly relegated to the laity, and the land of the temple was confiscated. According to the law promulgated by Li Ye, temples in Shannan West Road are not allowed to operate land, shops and other profit-making activities.

Li Ye did not destroy Buddhism, but restricted the development of Buddhism. 'The Taoist priests in the troubled times went down the mountain, and the monks in the prosperous times collected money', and Buddhism developed to occupy land and run mansions and shops, which was obviously not in line with Li Ye's governance.

In addition to restricting Buddhism, there were also restrictions on Nestorianism (Christianity) and Zoroastrianism (i.e., Zoroastrianism), which were of course unpopular in Shannan and Xidao.

In general, Li Ye is restricting foreign religions and supporting Taoism.

This Taoist temple was expanded after Li Ye entered the Xingyuan Mansion, and the scale was not large before, but after a period of expansion, it had the current scale. When Li Yi returned to Beijing, Li Ye took this Taoist temple as a temporary resting place for Li Yi.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."

An imperial historian glanced at Li Ye, and then said expressionlessly.

Li Yi glanced at this imperial history, a little displeased, and immediately became impatient, "If you have something, just say it." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached King Shou."

Hearing the words of this imperial history, the people present were stunned, this is not the court, and King Shou is still sick on the side, so you will directly impeach the other party? Aren't you afraid that the other party will directly detain you here?

How daring!

This is the common thought of many people present.

Even Li Ye was surprised, what kind of trouble is this? He looked at Li Yi and Tian Lingzi, could it be that these two were going to attack him? Not really, right?

As an imperial history, you have to be bold, thick-skinned, and shameless, of course, the best thing to say is to be fair and selfless.

In the face of everyone's surprise, this imperial historian was unfazed and continued, "Your Majesty, since King Shou served as the envoy of Shannan West Dao, he has added checkpoints and set up clever projects to collect taxes, which has led to the poor livelihood of the people of Xingyuan Mansion and Shannan West Dao, and the people's resentment is boiling.

The previous rebellions in the three states were all caused by King Shou's rampant conquest. I hope that Your Majesty will be clear, punish King Shou, and give the people justice. ”

I have to say that this is righteous words, and Li Ye believes it a little.

What is the meaning of the people's boring life, do you look at the appearance of Shannan West Road like the people's boring life? Although the prosperity of Xingyuan Mansion is not as good as that of Chengdu Mansion, it is also the most prosperous place in Shannan West Road, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going.

Moreover, Li Ye also abolished some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the pressure on ordinary people was also reduced a lot. If this makes the people boring, it is estimated that there will be no place for singing and dancing in Datang at this time.

However, everyone present knew that this was just an excuse made by someone against King Shou.

"King Shou, is what Zhang Yushi said true?" Li Yi asked solemnly.

"Back to Your Majesty, my brother has been wronged. The younger brother did add checkpoints to collect some taxes from merchants, but the tax rate was not high, and the tax was only levied once, and there was no clever name, which led to the people's misery.

Xingyuan Mansion suffered from war before, the land was barren, and Shu Road was in disrepair for many years. The younger brother did this only to ensure that even if the taxes were handed over to the imperial court and the Shu Road was repaired, it would be convenient for merchants from the north and south to pass through.

If His Majesty does not believe it, the courtiers are willing to hand over the balance of the commercial tax collected in the past few months to the imperial court. Now that the imperial court has returned to Beijing, presumably the treasury is not rich, and the ministers are willing to do their best. ”

As he spoke, Li Ye coughed constantly, and his face became even paler, which made many ministers a little unbearable.

In the end, Li Ye expressed his willingness to take out 700,000 yuan of money and hand it over to the imperial court, and the matter came to an end.

As for who is targeting him, Li Ye is not sure for the time being, but Tian Lingzi is fanning the flames, but he can see it. Let yourself take out 700,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a heavy hemorrhage, but Li Ye has not been able to investigate who is the mastermind for the time being, because he was left behind by Li Yi.

After everyone else retreated, Li Yi finally didn't have to pretend anymore.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

"Smack!"

Li Yi directly picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it directly at Li Ye, and the teacup shattered the moment it touched Li Ye's forehead. A wound suddenly appeared on Li Ye's head, blood mixed with tea flowed down Li Ye's cheeks, and tea was covered in his hair and body.

"Shouwang, you are so bold! Do you dare to make excuses for not being edicted, do you really want to rebel, do you also think about my position?

Yes!

What about you?

Cat got your tongue! ”

Li Ye didn't expect this to be the situation, when Li Yi left him, he knew that Li Yi would mention this matter, but he didn't expect to come out like this directly. Fortunately, the tea is not very hot, otherwise his face would not have wanted this cup of tea.

However, feeling the pain on his forehead, Li Ye's hand clenched tightly into a fist, but then he let go, bowed deeply, and said in a 'panicked' tone, "The imperial brother has wronged his minister." It's not that the younger brother shouldn't edict, but the younger brother doesn't want the imperial brother to fall into a dangerous situation. ”
