"I heard it clearly outside your farmhouse yesterday, you are a Honglu Temple, a member of the imperial court. took the court's money, as an important minister in the court, he actually oppressed the people for a few dollars. Datang's face has been lost by you! ”

It's really embarrassing, from the third grade. Honglu Temple is similar to a ministerial-level important figure in a certain department, if this kind of person goes to occupy thousands of yuan from ordinary people, the impact of spreading it can be imagined.

This will reduce the credibility of the court that has been built up with great difficulty, and make the people disappointed in this court.

The second baby knelt on the ground and trembled like an electric shock, and then fell on her back, her teeth clenched, and her mouth foamed at the mouth.

He was stunned alive, how could the second baby have thought that the person he shouted at yesterday turned out to be today.

Looking at this posture, Nong Jingyi's heart was cold. has been an official for decades, and once accidentally coveted this little profit and ruined himself.

"Your Majesty, Minister, Guilty!" Nong Jingyi knelt down with a puff, kowtowing and crying.

"Pei Shu, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, what should Nong Jingyi be guilty of?" Li Ji asked.

"Your Majesty, according to the Tang law, Nong Jingyi oppressed the people, took the people's property for private use, and should be dismissed and exiled!" Pei Shu actually said it more heavily, according to Tang law, it is certain to be demoted, but it is not enough to be exiled.

Nong Jingyi was so frightened that his soul flew away: "Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty knows that you are wrong!"

"Even if I want to spare you, my Datang Law will not spare you. Nong Jingyi, you ask for more blessings, I will dismiss you from your official position, reduce your family property to a common person, and give the people an explanation! ”

If you don't have any property, you will be reduced to a commoner, which is worse than killing him. Nong Jingyi's face changed drastically, and he was paralyzed to the ground.

The common people always intuitively sympathize with those who have miserably surpassed them, and Zhang Laosan knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, can you spare the peasant lord." He already knew that he was wrong, he was a talented man who had read books, and he couldn't be compared with a clay leg like a villain, and asked His Majesty to give him a chance. ”

Nong Jingyi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this old man to repay his grievances with virtue, and he collapsed on the ground and cried at the moment: "The old minister is ashamed, confused."

Li Ji said angrily: "Look at you, an old farmer still knows how to repay grievances with virtue, you are a Honglu Temple, ashamed or not ashamed!"

Nong Jingyi felt that he was faceless and alive, so he stood up and slammed into the pillar next to him.

"Hold him!" Li Ji was in a hurry.

Fortunately, a servant next to him stood close, so he rushed over and grabbed Nong Jingyi. But it was still too late, although Nong Jingyi was not killed on the spot, he broke his forehead with a bang, and he was dripping with blood.

"You want to die! Is it a hundred to die? Nong Jingyi, I told you, I just won't let you die. ”

Pei Shu next to him saw Nong Jingyi's miserable appearance, and felt a little unbearable: "Your Majesty, this farmer still knows his mistakes." Moreover, the envoys of this feudal town entered Beijing, and the reception of Beijing was complicated, and it was always inseparable from the mediation of Honglu Temple. Now that the queen's enthronement ceremony is imminent, it is better for His Majesty to be gracious and pardon the farmer and let him make meritorious contributions. ”

Zhang Laosan also knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please spare Your Majesty."

Nong Jingyi was ashamed and landless, a courtier in the Heavenly Hall was discredited for this little profit, what face did he have to stand in the world.

"Your Majesty!" Nong Jingyi knelt down and cried.

This cry, Li Ji's heart softened, and his anger disappeared a little. Although this guy is rampant, at the moment when the court is employing people, it is indeed a bit ruthless to cut him down and dismiss him for this matter.

If it is a prosperous age, Nong Jingyi will not talk about dismissal, and it is possible to raid the house. After all, the king of the prosperous era is based on governing the country, and governing the country must be governed by corruption.

This is not the case in troubled times, which are based on the struggle for the world and supplemented by governing the country. The position of Honglu Siqing is currently very important to the Tang Dynasty, these envoys are all received by Nong Jingyi, and if he is done now, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from the envoys of the feudal town.

"Okay, since Pei Aiqing and Zhang Laosan have interceded for you, I will spare you this time. Nong Jingyi was punished for half a year, from the third grade to the fourth grade, and temporarily took the position of Honglu Temple Qing to observe the after-effects. ”

"Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" Nong Jingyi slammed his head on the ground, tears flowing.

If this Nong Jingyi still has a bit of backbone, when Zhu Wen was in power, he refused to go along with it, but he didn't expect that he would slowly begin to degenerate.

Even if the case is over, after Li Ji left, Nong Jingyi grabbed Zhang Laosan's hand tightly: "Uncle, it's the official who is not a thing." I didn't expect you to repay your grievances with virtue, so that I am ashamed of my officials, please accept my worship! As he spoke, he knelt on one knee and bowed deeply.

The bluffed Zhang Laosan hurriedly knelt down: "Big, adult, you can torture the villain." Hurry up, get up, get up. ”

Nong Jingyi said: "Please follow me back to the house and pull your ox cart back."

Zhang Laosan nodded: "Okay, okay."

"Your name is Zhang Laosan?" Nong Jingyi asked.

Zhang Laosan said in a proper manner: "The villain is exactly."

"Okay, Zhang Laosan, thank you for today's matter." Nong Jingyi clenched his fists.

Zhang Laosan was stunned: "Thank you, thank me?"

Nong Jingyi nodded: "Exactly, if you hadn't sued the Son of Heaven, let me stop the precipice in time." I don't dare to say if I will become more unscrupulous in the future, if it were not for you, my farm would have been destroyed in the future. ”

Pei Shu next to him smiled: "Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small, it's good if you can understand this truth."

Nong Jingyi hugged his fist at Pei Shu: "Thank you Lord Pei for your kind words in front of Your Majesty, I dare not forget this kindness." Turning around, he said to Zhang Laosan again: "Lao Zhang, if you don't give up, are you willing to join my farm mansion as a steward?"

Zhang Laosan was stunned again, being in charge? What does this nongjingyi mean?

The second baby next to him was about to cry aggrieved, but the steward was originally his: "My lord."

"Shut up!" Nong Jingyi glanced at him: "You dog and powerful thing, remember it for me in the future, if you dare to oppress the people in your eyes, I will drive you out of the farm!"

The second baby was taken aback, and she didn't dare to say anything more at the moment.

"The villain is just a charcoal seller, how can He De be in charge, don't make fun of the villain anymore." Zhang Laosan wanted to refuse.

"Lao Zhang, you repay your grievances with virtue, and you have a great favor with me Nong Jingyi. Just for your character, I can rest assured, don't shirk again. Nong Jingyi said sincerely.

Zhang Laosan was a little at a loss for a while, he looked at Pei Shu helplessly, Pei Shu smiled: "Since the farmer has this intention, Zhang Laosan, you will agree."

Zhang Laosan thought about it, he still has a family to support: "Okay, if the adults don't dislike it, then the villain agrees."

Nong Jingyi was overjoyed: "Thank you!"

Sure enough, this Nong Jingyi later abandoned evil and followed good, became a generation of virtuous ministers, and loyally assisted Li Ji to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

After Zhang Laosan became the manager of the farmhouse, he was also loyal, dedicated to the farmer's family, and kept the farmhouse in good order, and was deeply loved by the whole house.

On the seventh day of the first month, the palace has almost been prepared. The various etiquette prepared by the guards, banquets, receptions, and the Ministry of Rites, as well as the utensils used by the Shangyi Supervisor, the Inner Chamberlain Province, the Shangshi Bureau, the Jinwuwei, the Imperial Guard, and the Hundred Officials and Pilgrimage, have all been prepared, just waiting for the queen to ascend the throne tomorrow.

The temple of the first emperor, the temple of the mound, the palace guards, and the streets to maintain law and order are all ready.

In order to welcome the queen's canonization ceremony and the emperor's sacrifice to the heavens to ensure safety, the night market was temporarily canceled, and the forbidden army on the street was constantly coming and going.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites came to Zhang's Mansion and waited respectfully to greet the queen. Today, Zhang Wanxi has to enter the palace, and early tomorrow morning he and Li Ji will hold a canonization ceremony in the palace at Chengtianmen.

Zhang Wanxi was in a red phoenix robe, with a little powder on her face, and was greeted by the palace maid and sent into the imperial sedan chair. Zhang Wenwei led her family to kneel on the ground to say goodbye, because she was the queen, and Zhang Wenwei also had to meet with the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

Li Ji looked even more nervous in the palace, and he would marry a wife tomorrow. And it is also Zhang Wanxi, who is her dream, after getting married, she will have more children and plant fewer trees, and only by spreading branches and leaves, having more children and more blessings can the Tang Dynasty continue to reign.

Taiji Palace, Lizheng Palace, this is the dormitory of Empress Zhang Wanxi.

At this time, the Lizheng Hall was brightly lit, and the phoenix crown and xia veil worn by the queen tomorrow, the big red brocade quilt on the phoenix bed, and the happy son pasted on the curtains all revealed the festive atmosphere of the newlywed.

The Lizheng Hall is newly built, sketched by Li Ji himself, and there is a flue under the hall underground, similar to floor heating. In winter, you can burn charcoal outside the hall for heating. Even if it is cold, the Lizheng Hall is still warm as spring. Just this little thing, you can see Li Ji's concern for Zhang Wanxi.

At night, Zhang Wanxi was already surrounded by palace maids and came to the Lizheng Palace. As soon as I stepped into the temple gate, I felt the heat on my face, and it was completely different from the cold weather outside.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and the palace maids and eunuchs take turns to serve, not daring to make a slight mistake.

Carmine makeup, red candles, tomorrow is the night of candles in the cave room of the two, Zhang Wanxi felt a little nervous in her heart.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Everyone saluted to greet them, and Li Ji came with promising and blessed.

Tomorrow's wedding, the queen enters the main palace one night early, and the emperor can meet the queen at this time.

First, to get acquainted with the relationship between the two, and second, to discuss the etiquette rules for tomorrow's canonization ceremony.

However, there is one point, at this time, the palace maid and others cannot be avoided. If the emperor has anything to say, he must be in front of everyone, which makes Li Ji very unhappy.

"Wanxi, I've come to see you." Li Ji said a nonsense.

Today is a sacred and solemn day, and the sword mending man Fuquan rarely shut up.

Zhang Wanxi's face turned red, and she stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty Wan'an."

Li Ji stepped forward to help her up, but saw that her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, her cheeks were flushed, and she was beautiful in the candlelight: "Wanxi, tomorrow will be very tiring, you have to rest early."

"Well," Zhang Wanxi replied softly, have you rested, you are destined to be sleepless tonight.

"Oh, I sent someone to boil you a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and you drank it to replenish your body." With so many palace maids on the side, Li Jibei felt uncomfortable.

Although he is an emperor and can do whatever he wants. But feelings are a matter of two people, and they still can't let go. Li Ji has a lot to say but is embarrassed to say, I can't praise you for being beautiful in front of so many people, I miss you or something like that.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Wanxi also looked very uncomfortable. The husband and wife are still so restrained, and the two of them will be polite in the future.
