1. Qiulin raw Rui salt
I want to get rid of the spring and the year,
Severe wind and dense snow are absolutely Pisces.
Sijun walked alone in the west wall,
Daily with vanilla edict.
—————— Quan Deyu "Gongyuan to the snow, replace the eight lines with quatrains, and send Cui Ge Lao"

Liu Yan's memory of the agreement is also temporary, because with the advent of late autumn and early winter, the Tang Empire will face a huge problem: autumn prevention.
At that time, Xibo had seriously threatened the entire Longyou region and Shudi, one of these two regions was adjacent to Tang Jinggi, and the other was the "Tianfu Land and Sea", that is, the Tang Dynasty's tax land, which was a problem for confidants. Every year, the Tang Empire had to mobilize a large number of troops and pay huge military expenses to guard against the northwest border troubles, which was to "prevent autumn".
So at this time, there are a lot of Qiangu salt and iron affairs, waiting for Liu Yan to deal with: after the Anshi Rebellion, although Tang Fang Towns are all over the country, except for a few places that have been divided and disobeyed for a long time, most of the others are loyal to the imperial court, and the most powerful military forces are none other than the two local towns in the Northwest and the Central Plains, the former's main responsibility is to prevent autumn, and the role is aimed at Xifan; The latter has to protect the Caoyun in the southeast of Jianghuai and deter other places, and the role is mainly to defend the interior, and because of this, the Shence Xingying camp in the northwest town and the capital not only does not enter the imperial court, but also requires the imperial court to transfer a large amount of money and grain from the southeast every year to support their army, and the responsibility of transfer and deployment is attributed to Liu Yan and another named Han Rong (Han Rong was the head of the household department at that time and the judge of the branch, and he was in charge of the salt administration and wealth in the west of the empire).
Guanzhong and Hezhong were originally in the spring drought, but now they are suffering from the disaster of autumn rain, and the salt ponds and crops are suffering to varying degrees, which makes the situation even worse.
Between September and October, the Xifan 80,000 troops, the camp is connected like the sky, the war horses are like clouds, appeared in the Changzechuan area of Yuanzhou, and soon broke through the Qingzhou Fangqu, the big into the valley, the cavalry of the Xifan can see the site of the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Daizong found Guo Ziyi to discuss, and hurriedly sent the Shuofang army to the Marquis of Yu Li Huaiguang to cooperate with Duan Xiushi, the commander of the Anxi camp, to resist the Xifan army.
And the situation in Shu is also very critical, Xifan also set up a large army, built a city in Xishan to peek at Shu, called "Wanghan City", Xichuan Jiedu made Cui Ning also be a strong soldier, reorganize the army.
In the Xiaoyanying Palace, Emperor Daizong sat on the rope bed, and the two eunuchs in front of him were holding plates, on which were snow-white salt flowers.
Chang Gon, Cui Youfu, Liu Yan, and others who participated in Xiao Yanying's question all lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything.
And Han Rong, who was also summoned as a household servant and judge of the Du Branch, had an even more ugly face, he already knew what the emperor said.
"Since the autumn rain, I have been worried about the crops and salt ponds, and I have asked the local governor to report many times, and I have sent the imperial history to investigate many times. Since October, I have asked if the salt pond in Hedong has been damaged, and although there is a lot of autumn rain in the Han family, the salt pond has not been defeated, and he has offered such rui salt to please me; Later, Li Jingyin played again and said that Qiulin harmed the crops in Guanzhong, but Weinan ordered Liu Yu to reply that the rain had passed through his county, but the seedlings were not damaged. ”
After Dai Zong finished speaking, Han Yun's head lowered.
At this time, it was cloudy outside, and it seemed that there was a ticking rain falling into the Daming Palace, and the wind chimes on the eaves were blown and made a loud sound, as if they were also laughing at Han Hu's waiter.
"But even I know that since the beginning of autumn, it has been raining continuously, and there has been an endless stream of stamps in Gyeonggi counties reporting the damage to crops, is it only Weinan County? I don't believe in Liu Yu, and I don't believe in Zhao Ji, so I found Dou Zhongcheng and asked him to send another name to Yushi, guess what Yushi said to me when he came back? ”
Seeing that all the ministers did not dare to answer, Dai Zong sneered and said, "The imperial history reported that Weinan County was drenched by the autumn rain and destroyed more than 3,000 hectares of fertile land!" ”
"Weinan ordered Liu Yu to bully the king, the crime is unforgivable! The minister immediately ordered the branch secretary to reduce or exempt the taxes of the people of Weinan that year. Han Yun waited for Daizong's words, and hurriedly and loudly echoed.
"Liu Yu, immediately demoted to Nanpu Lieutenant; Zhao Ji was immediately demoted to the position of Lizhou Sihu to join the army. After Emperor Daizong said this, he stopped talking.
That is, in the end, he just killed these two miscellaneous fish who depended on the degree branch, but he didn't mention the disposal of Han Rong at all, he still raised it high and put it down gently, just adding a sentence, saying that he would soon send a doctor to check the truth about Ruiyan in Yanchi, Hedong.
Han Yun hurriedly thanked him, but he understood in his heart that His Majesty had given himself a "window" to reform himself, and he would send more money from the salt tax this year to His Majesty's "Daying Inner Collection" (this is the Tang Dynasty Emperor's private treasury) to thank His Majesty for his forgiveness.
On the other hand, the fundamental reason why Daizong exalted Han Rong lightly is that this person has been in charge of Duzhi and Zuozang since nine years ago, and levied the world's green seedling taxes, and now Zuozang has accumulated 7 million yuan, I have to say that Han Rong has worked hard and made great achievements, and the emperor cannot do without him and Liu Yan.
So next, Emperor Daizong gritted his teeth and focused his anger on the unlucky former Weinan Ling, "The county order of Qi County, it is not from Jinshi Qingliu, I thought that they would understand the official business and understand the general situation. Now there are more than 3,000 hectares of disaster-stricken fields in Weinan, Liu Yu actually said that the land under his jurisdiction is alone, and what is the result of my virtue influence on the heavens - you say, if I really believe in this Liu Yu, this year will also collect taxes in Weinan County as usual, I don't know how many people will be displaced and die on the road? So in the eyes of the people of the world, where is my virtue? Even if there were, it would have been ruined by a bastard like Liu Yu! What kind of sage book did he read? ”
"Your Majesty is angry." All the courtiers in the Xiao Yanying Hall hurriedly said in unison.
There was already the rumbling of rain below, and Emperor Daizong waved his sleeves, "So in the spring of the coming year, what I hope to get is a talent who truly understands the country and the world, rather than a group of flashy and untruthful, only those who know how to carve off the people." ”
Liu Yan, who was standing in the corner, arched his sleeves, thoughtful about Emperor Daizong's words, and then he turned out and asked His Majesty for instructions, "The winter solstice and the Hanyuan Hall of the Yuan Dynasty will ......."
Emperor Daizong replied very categorically, "The people of Guanzhong are deeply affected by the autumn rain, and the anti-autumn soldiers are exposed to the wilderness, how can I bear it?" The Hanyuan Hall Dynasty will be canceled - but the Juzi Dynasty will not change. ”
Emperor Daizong said that the collection of the sons of the court, that is, the scholars who participated in the tribute, worshiped the emperor once outside the Hanyuan Hall in winter, and the emperor said some words of encouragement to them.
After Xiao Yanying summoned him, Chang Gon, who came out of the hall, walked, and Cui Youfu behind him politely asked him to stop.
Chang Gon looked at Cui Youfu angrily, although this is just a Zhongshu Sheren, but he wields the power of Zhongshu Shilang, I have to say that His Majesty deliberately placed a stake to restrain him, so Chang Gon only has a feeling of disgust for Cui Youfu.
What Cui Youfu said next made him even more angry, "A certain provincial book matter is not liked by Your Excellency, so I changed the knowledge to the Ministry of Officials, hoping that there will be no pre-election in the spring of the next year." ”
