Chapter 536: Slapping the horse's ass on the horse's leg
Puzhou City is eight feet high, much higher than Chang'an City, and you have to raise your neck to look up to see the top when you get close. It is no wonder that it was designated as one of the six major cities of Shaanxi, Zheng, Bian, and Jiang in the Kaiyuan period of the original time and space.
Xiongcheng is not to say how big the area is, the key is majestic, strong, generally such a city is built as a strategic place, just like this Puzhou City, negative mountains and rivers, Qin and Jin to rush, is since ancient times the military important land, it can be said to be the gateway to the east of Guanzhong.
If there is a war in the country in the future, this is a place where the enemy from the east will not be able to get around.
Under this towering city wall, Zhao Yuankai, the assassin of Bozhou, led the people in the city to greet the car.
The key is to greet it, this guy actually let the people come out to greet them in single clothes, this is February, although the weather is starting to warm up, but it is not yet time to wear single clothes.
Seeing that the people were shivering from the cold, and they didn't dare to rub their hands and feet to keep warm, Li Shimin's face darkened.
Speaking of this person is also a cheap, when he went to Luoyang, he lived in another palace outside the city, and the food prepared by others did not meet his heart, and he was not happy to scold and punish others, and now he is in Bozhou, and Zhao Yuankai wants to please him, but he feels that people are doing it wrong.
When the preparation is not good, the suspect is not prepared, and when he is ready, he is afraid that the other person is ready, it is really difficult to serve.
However, Zhao Yuankai also went too far, and let the people wear yellow gauze to greet them, but also repaired and decorated the official houses and city towers, how to decorate it, wrapped in silk and draped.
This kind of scene accompanied by hundreds of officials many people look very familiar, think that when Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty showed off the wealth and strength of the Great Sui, he did this kind of thing, there were foreign envoys to pay tribute, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty asked people to wrap the trees and flowers along the road with colorful silk, even the beggars also put on beautiful silk clothes, stunned to create a flower-like scene in the winter, colorful and good-looking don't don't want, after the foreign envoys saw that the beggars of the Sui Dynasty were wearing silk clothes, they were envious and don't want it, said that you Da Sui are really rich, and you have been reduced to the point of begging, and you can still afford to wear silk, which is something that only nobles can wear in our country.
What Emperor Yang of Sui did back then, now someone uses it to receive Li Shimin, how can Li Shimin, the gravedigger of the Great Sui, be embarrassed, is he comparing him to Emperor Yang of Sui?
Besides, Wei Zheng and other ministers have used Emperor Yang of Sui to advise Li Shimin many times, and now what is the difference between Zhao Yuankai doing this and slapping him in the face.
Looking at Zhao Yuankai's flattering smile, Li Shimin couldn't help but curse in his heart that he was obsessed and unrepentant, and to put it vulgarly, a dog can't change his.
Why does Li Shimin think so, because Zhao Yuankai has a criminal record, and more than once.
Zhao Yuankai is also a famous person, born in the Tianshui Zhao family, and Wu Yuanqing's friend Zhao Heng is from the same clan. His father is Zhao Fen, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, and his wife is the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe.
His father's wife and wife are all big families, but when this person is an official, he likes to take shortcuts, like to ponder Shangguan, and cater to his wishes.
When he was a prince of Liyang County, he offered rare delicacies to Emperor Yang of Sui in Jiangdu, and was promoted to Jiangdu County Cheng, and also led the Jiangdu Palace Envoy. Then he was specifically responsible for serving fine wine and food, and Emperor Yang, Empress Xiao and the pampered beauty wine glasses did not leave his mouth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the Sui Dynasty, he liked to loot the people's fat and ointment, oppress and exploit the people, and after waiting for Yu culture and killing Emperor Yang of Sui, Zhao Yuankai went to Hebei. Yu culture and failed, and he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
On the way to Chang'an, his wife was also captured by robbers, and then his wife Cui Shi was unwilling to be humiliated and shot by the robbers.
It stands to reason that after a few blows, it should be changed and a little more restrained. But this man didn't. After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed as Sinong Shaoqing, which was Wu Yuanqing's predecessor, and when Wu Yuanqing Zhenguan was appointed as Sinong Shaoqing in the first year, he took over Zhao Yuankai's class.
Why was Zhao Yuankai transferred, just because this guy was not clean in the office of Sinong Shaoqing, and he used his power to be greedy for money and amass. provoked the lawsuit Nongqing Dou Jing despised and disliked, Dou Jing convened a meeting of his subordinates and reprimanded Zhao Yuankai in person. He said: "Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty looted the people's wealth, greedy for pleasure to use people like you to embezzle money, but now the agricultural officials must be in charge of money and grain, and they must be public." Moreover, Your Majesty advocates frugality, not to mention that you, a farmer official, can covet your own enjoyment and squander public money at will. ”
was scolded mercilessly by his boss in public, Zhao Yuankai didn't have time to review and express repentance, and this matter was accused in front of Li Shimin, and it happened that at that time Li Shimin was thinking about what kind of official to give Wu Yuanqing, so he just pushed the boat down the river to take Zhao Yuankai and give him a lesson and punishment, and he could also seal Wu Yuanqing as a farmer Shaoqing to plant potatoes and corn, killing two birds with one stone.
It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, Zhao Yuankai has once again risen to the high position of the history of Yizhou Thorn, but there is still no change in being an official, he is still good at drilling camps, and he is still so good at bullying the people.
The disgust in Li Shimin's eyes Zhao Yuankai didn't notice it at all, and he was still running around with joy.
When he settled down and brought people to the emperor, queen, princess, and ministers to bring food and drink, Li Shimin broke out.
Because someone complained to Li Shimin, it was an imperial historian who accompanied him, and I don't know where this imperial historian got the news, or the local official in Puzhou stabbed him, anyway, this imperial historian asked for an audience when Li Shimin and the queen and the princesses were eating, and the waiter who was standing outside stopped him and said that you will come again after His Majesty has eaten, and it is not bad for this pair to be right.
But this imperial historian's temper is the same as that of all imperial historians, stubborn and unchangeable, and the inner servant stopped him and didn't give a report, so he knelt directly outside the door and shouted loudly.
Of course Li Shimin heard it, of course, even if Li Shimin couldn't hear the inner servant, he didn't dare to stop him and not give a report, at this time, the inner servant didn't want to be so powerful in the late Tang Dynasty, and he could depose the emperor.
If Li Shimin knew that he was stopping and not giving a report, he would have to be beaten to death.
So, the imperial history met the emperor smoothly, and then made an impassioned complaint, denouncing Zhao Yuankai for being an improper official, a fly camp and a dog, not only oppressing the people but also flattering and befriending relatives and nobles.
In order to welcome the emperor, he lavishly decorated the official house, wrapped it in silk extravagantly, and secretly raised more than 100 sheep and thousands of fish to give to the emperor's relatives and relatives.
In fact, more than 100 sheep and thousands of fish are not much, a thorn history can still be prepared, and the Puzhou government is also prepared, the key is secretly, you secretly prepare these things to send to the imperial relatives and relatives, what do you want to do?
Why can't such things be prepared on the surface, why do you come secretly?
Li Shimin was already very unhappy because of what happened before, and now when he heard Yu Shi say this, he felt that Zhao Yuankai was not a thing with a roe head and a rat eye.
At that time, Li Shimin called Zhao Yuankai to reprimand: "I patrolled to the Yellow River and Luoshui area, and everything I needed was taken from the treasury." What you are doing is the bad customs of the extinct Sui Dynasty."
Then, on the first day of Li Shimin's arrival in Puzhou, Zhao Yuankai failed to curry favor with the emperor, but was dismissed from office as soon as possible.
