Luo Yan just wants to scold this dog's life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, after Li Jing's affairs subsided, Luo Yan was flattered by both sides, and for a time he also gained a lot of civil and military friendships. Although the friendship in officialdom is basically equivalent to nonsense, there is definitely a lot less intrigue in this daily life.

The generals in the army, who originally had some prejudices against Luo Yan, also praised Luo Yan's righteousness to each other. There were people looking for him to eat and drink at both ends of the three days, and there were also people who went out of the city on horseback, and the invitations were not stopped.

Although he couldn't go here eight times out of ten times, it didn't delay his friendship with those generals at all. It's common, and you can talk more or less about it.

During this period, Li Shimin also took Luo Yan to meet Princess Changle several times.

For this legendary future husband, Changle is not shy at all. It was because of Luo Yan's various legends that Xiao Changle was quite curious. Although they have the same two eyes and one nose, when Princess Changle saw Luo Yan, she didn't even care about Li Shimin, her father, and just pulled Changle to ask east and west.

Just like treating a little sister, if Changle has any questions, Luo Yan answered them in time. Tell a little story from time to time, and the little girl's eyes are squinted with joy.

Li Shimin poured bitter water on the eldest grandson queen, saying sour things like outgoing girls. But for Princess Changle, she is more and more loving. But all the small requirements of Changle are all satisfied. There was even a time when Changle asked Luo Yan to take her out of the palace to play, if it wasn't for the living room who reminded the two parties that they had not officially married, Li Shimin almost agreed.

Taking little Lori shopping is such a thing, in fact, Luo Yan feels quite cool in his heart.

Obviously, this is just a casual assumption.

If you think that you can't ask Lori out on the street, you can only stay at home with books, then you are very wrong. In fact, as a national prince from the first rank and a quasi-concubine of the dynasty, Luo Yan's most commendable thing now is that he spares no effort to recommend good talents.

Not to mention far away, but the big money to recruit people in the past few months. Don't say it's a folk scholar, but many princes and nobles are dumbfounded. But that expenditure is about 300 yuan a month, how rich does Luo Yan have to be to dare to squander it like this.

Many of the imperial historians have moved their minds.

A few years ago, Luo Yan was just a poor boy with nothing. Now that it's so extravagant, how did the money come from? If you want to say that there is nothing greasy in it, no one believes it.

One word, check.

Otherwise, how can we say that the world is impermanent? As soon as I finished checking others, the lawsuit found my head.

On this day, the imperial history who had plucked up enough courage began to hear about it: "Your Majesty, Luo Yan in the matter is extravagant, extravagant, and extremely arrogant. However, his own job is only five products, and his food is only a few hundred, and I have carefully calculated that the consumption of his people in the past few months has exhausted the money and food that can be accumulated over the years. Therefore, Wechen implored His Majesty to allow the three divisions to interrogate and investigate the case. ”

"Oh. According to what you mean, Luo Yan's source of money must be a little tired of it? Luo Yan, give you the opportunity to plead in court, otherwise, you just wait to go to Dali Temple. Li Shimin is actually very curious, how much money does Luo Yan have now, so that he has the courage to spend hundreds of dollars a month.

For example, there are a few people in the royal family who live luxuriously, and it is said that the monthly expenditure is only two or three hundred. But those are all genuine princes, and the food is actually sealed with more than 600 pieces of rice per month. It's not like Luo Yan, who has sealed hundreds of food estates, and can be compared.

"It seems that Weichen's family background has to be exposed in front of the princes." Luo Yan smiled a little bitterly, bowed to Li Shimin, and then began to say: "The hundreds of acres of land in Wannian County, I think Your Majesty knows. Some of the things here are done, and according to the original agreement, Your Majesty will hand them all over to me. There are about 100 times a year. Counting three years, it's almost 500 times. ”

Luo Yan has land in Wannian County? This is the first time I've heard of it. On weekdays, I don't see Luo Yan's mansion buying and selling land at all. The co-authors already had such a foundation long before they made their fortunes.

Of course, surprise is surprise, Luo Yan still has something to say, and it is not good for the ministers to continue to ask.

"Wechen has been running around all these years, and most of the time is not in Chang'an. The lord's money is kept in the house, and the official's money is used for his own expenses. You can also calculate, how much is this income? ”

Without waiting for others to figure it out, Luo Yan continued: "I think you also know that a batch of white and flawless white sugar has appeared in the market recently, and its price is only more than ten cents higher than the brown sugar shipped by Hu Shang, but there is a ration every month. ”

"Luo Qi, now you have exposed your ugly deeds. The Zhenguan Law clearly stipulates that officials and their relatives are not allowed to do business. At that moment, someone jumped out and interrupted Luo Yan's words, and at the same time bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Chengguo Gong is so wanton and reckless, he should be punished seriously." Otherwise, in the future, officials will blatantly do business and compete with the people for profits by virtue of their power, won't it shake the foundation of our Tang Dynasty. ”

Although the ban on officials doing business is empty talk, most officials still appoint confidants to run the business on their behalf. But it was the first one like Luo Yan to say it openly.

Frightened, many people began to think about pushing Luo Yan out to kill chickens and monkeys, warning those who dared to speak indiscriminately.

"Yo, if I'm not mistaken, this is Lu Langzhong from the Ministry of Water. If I remember correctly, there is a silk village in the West Market, which seems to have been opened by Lu Langzhong's housekeeper. "Someone wants to frame themselves, but there is no way, Luo Yan is the first to pay tribute to the past.

Lu Langzhong's face suddenly showed surprise, and he asked quickly, "How do you know?" Then he realized that he had lost his words, and then added: "This dog slave actually did this kind of thing behind my back, and after I go back, I will strictly investigate to see if he has embezzled the owner's property before opening this shop." ”

This rhetoric can only be regarded as a spectacle. Although the housekeeper is good-sounding, he is actually a minion. Isn't this slave's thing the master's thing? Everyone tacitly agreed, after all, there were too many people doing it, for fear of being dragged into the water.

Of course, Li Shimin knows that this is very deep, but if you want to dig deeper, that is the real shaking of the country. So at this time, he became a peacemaker: "Okay, Luo Yan, you should continue to talk about it, you have made this matter clear to everyone, I think I will not say it is you from now on, even if I have less trouble." ”

How could Luo Yan not understand what Li Shimin meant. In the past, if he didn't fight with this Lu Langzhong, he wouldn't be surnamed Luo. But now that he is gradually smoothing out, knowing that Li Shimin is unwilling to delve into it, he no longer grasps this matter.

"This sugar is one of the products made by refining medicinal materials for the queen. One of the production processes is made by myself. By the grace of His Majesty, I am specially given 10% of the profit from the sale of sugar in the future. Are you satisfied with this explanation? ”

Originally, I thought that after Luo Yan's explanation, he could satisfy these ministers. Who knows that there are still some people who are reluctant to give up: "Just now, you just talked about income, but you didn't mention expenses at all." Isn't it clear that you want to get away with it? ”

Luo Yan has never been polite to these nonsense. "Luo doesn't want to get away with it, but he is afraid that if he talks about expenses, you will be embarrassed. Do you want to bet that my house should be spent, and even cleaner than anyone else's. ”

"Luo is very conclusive in the matter, you might as well tell me something later."

"Your Majesty, the minister has a matter that I beg your Majesty to forge." Luo Yan didn't say what happened at the first time. Those trivial things, where did Luo Yan have such idle time to keep accounts. Even if you talk about income, you just say the three biggest sources you know.

Although he didn't know what Luo Yan was talking about, since Li Shimin had allowed Luo Yan to defend himself in court, he naturally would not refuse this request.

"Something, though. If it is reasonable, there is naturally nothing to disagree. ”

"Wechen asked His Majesty to send someone to the Wechen Mansion to fetch the account books, so that the princes of the court could see it. In addition, if the account books are not enough to win the trust, you can also send someone to inquire about the ins and outs of Weichen's expenditure. Thinking about the power of the internal guard, this can be done in just half an hour. During this time, you might as well talk about other things, just so as not to delay too much time. ”

"What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, this practice of forcing courtiers to publish their account books is really undesirable. In this way, wouldn't it put me and others at risk? In the Luo Zhi matter, I am convinced of your character, and what several imperial historians said is just rumors, why should it be so serious. Soon several courtiers came out to object.

"Luo Yan, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked Luo Yan again.

If you follow the general routine, Luo Yan should say at this moment: Your Majesty, there must be something strange in this matter. This is the best way to meet the situation. However, Luo Yan took a strong order at this time: "Your Majesty, in life, who is not burdened by false fame." Luo Yan doesn't have many preferences in his life, and this reputation for seeking innocence is one of them. Wechen is not afraid of inspection, and there is no need for the princes to worry. This is a special case and will not continue to prevail. Rounding around, Luo Yan implied that this matter would not become the norm.

"In this case, where is the internal guard, obey the instructions of Luo Qizhong, take the account books of his house, visit the people by the way, and listen to the comments of the people in the neighborhood."

The inner guard led the order out of the palace and walked out of the palace.

In the Taiji Palace, there is a group of ministers who are staring at each other with big eyes.

Things have reached such a point, and the ministers are a little resentful of the people who took the initiative to stir up trouble. Who asked Luo Yan so much, I really wanted to slap him a few big ears. specially provoked such an incident, although now Li Shimin also says that this is a special case. However, there is no guarantee that such means will not be used to ask the Minister in the future.

Except for the silence, there was only a silent lament in the hall at this time. (To be continued.) )
