Wei Xi also wrote an excerpt of the petition, to the effect that the imperial majesty is not strict, the supervision is not effective, etc., and the important is avoided and the light is light. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He said that he was responsible for all kinds of unpleasant things that happened in the Japanese country, and asked the court to condemn him, and he was responsible for all the crimes, but he should not blame those loyal soldiers who served the country.

It's all about the impeachment, he has nothing to do with it, and he pushes it all away!

Guo Zhiju wrote two notes in a row, one is clear, high-sounding, saying that he welcomed the triumphant return of Wang Shi, although Wei Xi made great contributions, but he was not proud, when he heard that someone had impeached him, he immediately asked for guilt, his attitude was modest, and the whole army was very low-key...... tried his best to excuse Wei Xi and others, anyway, it was a basket of good words.

Another secret recital told the court: We have made a fortune!

Harvest 5 million guan worth of gold, silver and bronze, and 1.5 million guan of silver every year from next year!

That's real money!

Guo Zhiju, as the head of the imperial court, knew how difficult it was to get silver, and in terms of the financial income of the imperial court in a certain year of Emperor Taizong:

The annual fiscal revenue is 34.09 million yuan, which sounds like a lot and slow, of which the rent is 16.31 million yuan, accounting for 47%!

Rent refers to grain, cloth, or income from government service, not money!

Then there is a household tax of 2 million yuan, a land tax of 3.96 million yuan, a capital tax of 2 million yuan, a surcharge tax of 4.13 million yuan, and a government land property of 1.95 million yuan.

Well, there is an important indicator of "copper mining and cast iron", which is a hard commodity, how much income is there?

Only 330,000 times!

The Tang Dynasty is short of money, silk can be used as money, and many of the income of civil and military officials are in kind, and there are also human labor.

What he received from the Wa Kingdom was solid silver, and how precious it was.

Counting up, Wei Xi was given by the Laizhou Gold Mine before that, with a considerable annual income, worth millions of taels of silver! Later, there was a silver mine from the Wa Kingdom, and it amounted to 1.5 million taels of silver, not to mention his other identities, he was a good wealth boy sent from heaven!

So in the secret recital, Guo Zhiju died to protect Wei Xi!

He said that whoever could find so much gold and silver for the imperial court, he would also protect him

After writing two excerpts, together with Wei Xi's, Wang Xiaojie's, and Shi Wanchao's, as well as the re-polished military intelligence report, they were packed and sent to the imperial court.

He also sent a group of Kansai Dahan and a Dengshu Kabuki in particular.

……

Yushi Zhuang Jingzhi received a summons from the imperial court, saying that the excerpt of the Eastern Expeditionary Army's invitation had arrived and asked him to listen.

He arrived at the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace and heard that it was very lively.

There are sixteen Kansai men in the hall who are singing "Arrogant in the face of ten thousand waves, hot blood is like the red sun......"

Led by the queen of heaven, as well as Liu Renliang, Pei Yan, Cui Zhiwen, and Xue Yuanchao, the ministers were all listening, and it seemed that everyone was in a good mood.

The song is majestic, heroic and powerful, Zhuang Jingzhi thought at first that it was brought out by a previous meeting, but when he heard that it was from the Eastern Expeditionary Army, his face suddenly changed greatly!

Before his arrival, the queen of heaven and Liu Renliang, Pei Yan, Cui Zhiwen, and Xue Yuanchao all knew about the wealth of the imperial court, but they couldn't celebrate it in a big way.

Wei Xi's poems and songs are famous, known as the three unique holy hands, Guo Zhiju is knowledgeable and interesting, and sent a group of Kansai Han in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, singing "The Sea and the Sky" and "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", Dengzhou female singers lyrically sang "The Waves of the Chinese River", everyone is still unsatisfied, and it is now the second time after one time.

When Zhuang Jingzhi came, everyone began to deliberate.

The chamberlain read out the four reports on the battle situation of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

The more Zhuang Jingzhi listened, the more angry he became, he had received a boxed lunch in the court for so many years, and he was not a white-collar worker, how could he not hear Guo Zhiju's partiality towards Wei Xi, Wei's shirking of responsibility and Wang Shi were scapegoats!

Thinking that Wei Xi was the emperor's son-in-law, Zhuang Jingzhi also heard that the emperor handed the knife, and the princess took the knife and wanted to kill him;

This father and daughter are really choking! (After all, Li Tang was born in Hu)

Wei Xi also got the support of Guo Beiju, who was a third-grade under the Zhongshu Sect, this is the new prime minister, helping the horse and giving a ride is the officialdom practice, what Guo Beiju said, as long as it is not excessive, the court will generally not refute it.

There are also people who carry the evil disaster for Wei Xi, and it is impossible to bring him down this time!

Sure enough, the queen of heaven simply didn't come to the court, and gave Zhuang Jingzhi an explanation, so he bluntly and arbitrarily said: "Wei Xi has made great contributions to the crusade against the Japanese state, but there is really something wrong with his actions, and the civil and military officials are all demoted to three levels and appointed (scattered officials), and there is no reward or punishment!" ”

Zhuang Jingzhi was speechless, although he said that he was demoted and had less money, is this guy short of money? The position of the loose officials is flexible for them, whether they advance or retreat, depending on the need.

The important thing is that the dispatch of officials is not reduced, the general, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the governor of Dengzhou and the assassin are all retained, and both civil and military have real power!

Especially his position as a general, looking at the favor of the imperial court to him, the position of a general is an indicator light, and one day he loses this position, it can be said to be the beginning of overthrowing him.

The four ministers, Liu Renliang, Pei Yan, Cui Zhiwen, and Xue Yuanchao, all responded to the worm and said: "His Royal Highness the Queen of Heaven is Shengming!" ”

Pei Yan asked: "Please show the queen of heaven, what about the disposition of other generals?" ”

"Wang Xiaojie and Shi Wanchao are good at killing, they have the grace of the saints, and they are cutting their jobs for the people!" Wu Zetian decided.

It's a smack to the end, which sounds harsh, but it's actually raised high and gently put down.

Compared with the recent other general, Cao Huaishun and the partial general Dou Yizhao, who led the front army to attack the Turks and were defeated, although Cao Huaishun was exempted from capital crimes, he was exiled to Lingnan, while Wang Shi and Wang Shi were disarmed and returned to their hometowns.

"Other soldiers, hand it over to the ministry!"

There have been meritorious rewards and punishments, and the other soldiers have passed the test safely.

"There is another matter of the death of the right guard general Jing Dongling?" Pei Yan asked again.

The military intelligence report is written that Jing Dongling was attacked by the enemy and died in the battle, Wei Xite wrote a poem for him to reminisce, and the queen of heaven also knew, especially "The string song knows the elegant meaning, and the glass of wine Xie Liangpeng", a vivid image came spontaneously, and the queen of heaven deeply regretted it, so she cared for it: "Give Jing Dongling a general and marquis of the right guard of the school, and his son!" ”

Liu Renliang immediately played: "On behalf of his family, thank the court for the generous gift!" ”

……

Zhuang Jingzhi didn't say a word, and when he withdrew, he only said one sentence to Liu Renliang: "Gong once said that the Tang family does not sell horse manure, but allows the Tang family to be robbers?!" ”

Then he left, and Liu Renliang smiled slightly: "It takes 200,000 yuan to sell horse manure, and 1.5 million yuan to be a robber, it's different!" ”

Allusion: Pei Kuanshu, the supervisor of the Shaofu, is good at making profits, and he can earn 200,000 yuan a year by selling the horse manure in the palace. Tang Gaozong asked Liu Renliang about this, and replied: "The profit is very thick, but I am afraid that the descendants will say that the Tang Dynasty royal seller of horse manure is not a good reputation." So he stopped selling horse manure.

So, if this horse manure is not sold, to whom?

The answer is Princess Taiping!

Princess Taiping has many farms under her jurisdiction, and she has always believed her husband's words: "The crops must grow well, and water and fertilizer should be in charge." "I need a lot of fertilizer, go to her mother's house to get horse manure as fertilizer, Emperor Gaozong is very happy to give it to her, Liu Renliang is equivalent to pleasing the father and daughter!

Lao Liu's foresight is not something that a soy sauce maker like Zhuang Jingzhi can understand. (To be continued.) )
