"Wang Yuan, you are so bold, I see who dares. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Li Yao shouted angrily.

Wang Yuan turned around and ignored it, Tan Ping stepped forward and said in a deep voice to Li Yao: "Lord Heng, please move." ”

"I'm not going until you kill me." Li Yao shouted.

"That's offended." Tan Ping made a look, and the two guards stepped forward and picked up Li Yao and walked out.

Li Yu shouted loudly without touching his feet, and scolded in his mouth: "Wang Yuan, you are so bold, I am going to report to my father, you are lawless." ”

Twenty or thirty of Li Yao's servants were at a loss and did not dare to make a mistake. Hundreds of soldiers poured into the main hall and the apse, and lifted the things brought by Li Yao one by one and threw them out of the mountain gate. Li Yao shouted: "You lawless people, oops, this is my purple gold gourd, thrown by you like this, oh, this is my red sandalwood fish...... This is my five-color banner, and if you dare to blaspheme it like this, you will be punished. ”

Where did the soldiers have half respect for these magic weapons, and they threw them to the ground in ping-pong. Until everything was thrown out of the mountain gate, Tan Ping gave an order, and all the soldiers threw all these things into a big car. Li Yao was reluctant to leave, yelling and scolding. Wang Yuan ignored it at all, but he didn't want to force him to go back to his house, so he only ordered the soldiers to put a seal on the mountain gate, leaving dozens of guards to guard, and then left with the soldiers and horses.

Li Yao wanted to rush into the temple, but the soldiers in front of the door blocked him, making it impossible for him to enter. Soon after, the east side of the street was full of people, and a large group of ragged refugees rushed here under the leadership of Yan Zhenqing. Yan Zhenqing looked at the posture in front of the door, and was secretly surprised in his heart, obviously Wang Xiangguo was strong. Yan Zhenqing secretly admired Wang Yuan's courage, using such a means to bear too much pressure, which would inevitably cause an uproar. For the sake of refugees, Wang Yuan also let go, Yan Zhenqing asked himself if he had such courage, and while he was surprised, he also admired Wang Yuan.

Yan Zhenqing stepped forward to comfort Li Yao, but was scolded by Li Yao, so she simply stopped caring about Li Yao. He ordered someone to open the seal and led the people into the Taoist temple to settle down. Seeing those ragged and stinking people pouring into the Taoist temple, Li Yao was furious in his heart. As a prince, he was actually treated like this, and this Wang Yuan still had half of the royal family in his eyes. Li Yao knew that this Tianyuanguan could not enter again, these people trampled on it like this, even if they wanted to come back, they would not meditate here, this evil breath was really difficult to swallow, and immediately summoned the servants to lead the horse and prepare the car and went straight to the Sanhualou to complain to Xuanzong.

……

Wang Yuan's sweeping footsteps did not stop. There were many gardens and houses occupied by the princes and officials on several streets. Wang Yuan always saluted first and then the soldiers, discussed first, and if the discussion failed, he directly moved things and threw them out, and then sent soldiers to post seals and supervise. Yan Zhenqing took the refugees directly into it in the back.

The mansions occupied by several princes were repossessed, the gardens occupied by the princesses were repossessed, and the courtyards and warehouses occupied by some officials were also cleaned up one by one. These people would be willing to give up these places, and when Wang Yuan discussed with them, only a few people were willing to take the initiative to move out, and most of them had a strong attitude. But no matter how strong he is, he can't be as strong as Wang Yuan. Once Wang Yuan learned that they were unwilling to give up, he used strong means to directly take action. These royal relatives were angry but helpless, so they went to the Sanhua Building to complain to Xuanzong. Dozens of imperial officials soon gathered in the scattered flower building, and these people tearfully accused Wang Yuan of being rude, accusing him of being unscrupulous and not taking the royal family seriously.

Xuanzong was very helpless, on the one hand, he felt that Wang Yuan's behavior was for the sake of settling the refugees, and the starting point was understandable. But on the other hand, he was extremely angry at Wang Yuan's methods. Wang Yuan forcibly drove away with soldiers and horses, and there was still half a point of respect for the royal family in his eyes. The disrespect for the princes, princesses, and princesses is disrespect for themselves, which makes Xuanzong really unbearable to be so contemptuous.

Several princes were indignant and wanted to take their guards and Wang Yuan to fight hard, saying something: "I'd rather die than fight with this rebel minister" The rhetoric was nothing more than to provoke Xuanzong and let Xuanzong punish Wang Yuan. Of course, Xuanzong was very angry, but he was much more rational than his sons, daughters, sons-in-law and royal relatives, he knew that the anger at this time was useless, what could he do with Wang Yuan? He can't make any punishment for Wang Yuan.

"Summoning Wang Yuan to see me." Xuanzong gave the order with a sinking face. When His Majesty scolds Wang Yuan, he and others must add fuel and vinegar to the side, and it is best to let his father reprimand Wang Yuan, so that he can understand who is the master of the Tang Dynasty and who enjoys privileges. Let him drive out the untouchables and clean the place, and then obediently invite himself and others in.

Before noon, Wang Yuan led people to clean up 10 warehouses of the former Chengdu Yamen that had been encourgeoned on the middle street. Originally, these warehouses were all food supplies for the other side. But the treasury was long since empty, and these warehouses were occupied by some royal families, piling up the belongings brought by the refugees and storing their belongings and carts. When these royal relatives and nobles fled out of Beijing, they were eager to carry their houses on their backs, and the belongings, materials, and slaves they carried were extremely large, and they disliked the mansions assigned to them after coming to Chengdu to be too small, so they frantically occupied the public premises for their own use. The courtyard of the house is not enough, and even the public warehouse and some branch yamen offices are not spared. Before, when Fang Xuan was Xiangguo, he connived at them, and Wei Jiansu was a slippery head who knew that he didn't say anything, so their behavior was acquiesced, and they themselves took it for granted.

A large number of personal belongings were thrown on the street, attracting a large number of people to watch and point out. People have long known that Wang Xiangguo is cleaning up the occupied public places today, and he does not hesitate to offend the princes, princesses, princesses, and horses, and they all express their admiration for Wang Yuan's courage. So many people followed along the way, and some even helped to move things out.

A horse came galloping in, shouting loudly for the people to get out of the way. The crowd dispersed, and an attendant rolled the saddle and dismounted and galloped over, came to Wang Yuan and bowed his hand, conveying the news that Xuanzong had summoned Wang Yuan.

When Li Mi and the others heard the news, their faces immediately became solemn, obviously Xuanzong summoned Wang Yuan to ask what was happening, and everyone sweated for Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan looked as usual, and said with a smile: "I came so late, Your Majesty should have come to summon me an hour ago, but I didn't come to summon me until now." ”

Li Mi rolled his eyes and said, "Dashuai, explain it well to Your Majesty, and deal with it carefully." Your Majesty must have been furious. Don't make a fuss. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." General Li, you take people to continue to clean up, and you must clean up the whole city today. The more people are settled, the better. See, the wind has become lighter, the sky has become cloudy, maybe tonight will be a heavy snowfall, and there can be no delay in the slightest. ”

Li Mi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Dashuai." ”

Wang Yuan nodded, turned on his horse, and galloped towards the scattered flower building with more than ten personal guards. Not long after, Wang Yuan arrived in the hall on the first floor of the Sanhua Building, stepped into the hall, and the eyes of the princes and princes all turned to Wang Yuan, and they couldn't wait to dig a few holes in Wang Yuan's body with their eyes. Wang Yuan didn't look at them, and strode to the throne to salute Xuanzong.

Xuanzong waved his hand to let Wang Yuan get up without courtesy, Wang Yuan stood up, and then looked around and bowed: "Hello princes, princesses, and horses." Ho, why is it so lively today? Why have you all come to see Your Majesty? ”

Li Yao said angrily: "It's not that you forced it. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Heng, you are also here, why don't you go back to the house to retreat?" ”

Li Yao was irritated by Wang Yuan's teasing tone, his face turned red, and he rushed forward and was about to point at Wang Yuan's nose and scold, but he heard Xuanzong say in a deep voice: "Li Yao, stand down." Above the court, there shall be no noise. In the face of Xiangguo, you must not be rude. ”

Li Yao retreated fiercely and whispered viciously: "You wait, my father will not spare you." ”

"Wang Yuan, what's going on? I heard that you were living in a refugee house, and why did you come to sue you? I want to hear what's going on? Xuanzong said in a deep voice.

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister assisted Yan Zhenqing in settling the refugees today." Free up the common areas of the city and settle the refugees as quickly as possible. Some of the princes and princesses occupied these places, so the ministers had to consult with them and ask the princess and princess to make room for their dreams. ”

"Counseling? Have you consulted with us? Father, this Wang Yuan sent troops to force us to move out, and threw our things all over the streets. This is simply a bandit's trip, is this world still our Li family? Please call the shots. A fat lady with a fat face covered in fat cried out. She is Princess Yongmu, the eldest daughter of Xuanzong, and she is already a half-old.

"Eldest princess, you can't say that, you and Wang Kun's family occupy three big gardens, which is not very like words. Now Chengdu is overcrowded, many people have no place to live, and the mansion of Princess Pony has been arranged in advance, and two more mansions are occupied, which is not good. I don't listen to my kind words, and time is pressing, so I can only ask someone to help you move. Wang Yuan said.

"I, the whole world belongs to my Li family, let's say that I occupy three gardens, that is, thirty gardens, what are you doing? You just don't take my Li family's royal family seriously. Do you still have Your Majesty in your eyes? Princess Yongmu shouted.

Wang Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Eldest princess, I naturally have Your Majesty in my eyes, if not, why would I do these things that offend you?" Do you know that the people will freeze to death, and if they are restless, a heavy snow will kill thousands of people. These fleeing people are all following His Majesty, so can they freeze to death under His Majesty's nose? ”

"Don't be alarmist, and freeze to death there? Didn't the people have a camp? I've built a house and lived well. I heard that the food is very good. Don't think we don't know. A man with a clear face said in a deep voice. Wang Yuan also knew him, he was Xiao Heng, the concubine of Princess Xinchang, and he was the left attendant in the Ministry of Rites.

"Xiao Yuma, do you think that my Wang Yuan is alarmist and lying in front of His Majesty? It is recommended that you go to the North Side refugee camp for yourself. Last night when a cold snap struck, 48 people froze to death, and the bodies were laid out in the refugee camp. Now the north wind is lighter, the clouds are shrouded, and the temperature is hot and dry, which is a precursor to the arrival of heavy snowfall. If it snows heavily tonight, the city will freeze all over tomorrow morning. You say those huts can keep out the cold? Then you can go and stay for the night by yourself, if you can survive the night, I will count you as a good horse. ”

"What? Someone froze to death last night? Xuanzong Ben listened coldly, and when he heard Wang Yuan say that he froze to death last night, he asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, forty-eight people froze to death in the North Refugee Camp last night. Not long ago, the minister learned that thirteen people had frozen to death in the Xicheng refugee camp, and seven or eight people had died in the rest of the camp. Because of this, the minister had to lead troops to clean up the houses and settle the refugees. This matter can no longer be delayed, the minister knows that the way of acting is too intense, but this is a matter of life and death of the people, a matter of His Majesty and the prestige of the court, how can it be a child's play? Your Majesty loves the people like a son, how can you let these people who follow Your Majesty freeze to death? After His Majesty's luck, the royal relatives and court officials who followed were all settled in a unified place, and the ministers knew that these residences were naturally incomparable with their residences when they lived in the capital, but this was an extraordinary period, how could they care about these selfish desires and ignore the overall situation? If Your Majesty thinks that the minister's behavior is inappropriate and offends the princes and princesses, Your Majesty will ask for the guilt, and the minister will bear it. But the matter of settling the refugees cannot be delayed for a moment. Wang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Xuanzong stroked his beard and was silent. What Wang Yuan said is indeed right, Xuanzong does not want the people to freeze to death and starve to death, after being the emperor for so many years and creating a generation of glorious and prosperous generations, Xuanzong certainly understands the principle of reassuring the people and loving the people. What Xuanzong was annoyed by was that Wang Yuan trampled on the authority of the imperial family on this crown reason, which was unacceptable to him. But for the matter of Wang Yuan mentioning that the people froze to death, Xuanzong was still extremely concerned.

"It's a set of things, why don't you vacate your Xiangguo Mansion for refugees? Why did you come to us and do it on our heads? You are despising us royal relatives. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, you are doing this to us, you are to embarrass Your Majesty, what idea do you have in your heart, don't we don't know. Princess Yongmu screamed.

The relatives of the emperor rolled their eyes one after another, and the eldest princess couldn't speak with a brain, what kind of analogy was played? What kind of dog beating depends on the owner, doesn't it mean that everyone here is a dog? This brutal and pungent Princess Yongmu is really vulgar. Even Xuanzong frowned when he heard this.

Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "I can answer the question of the eldest princess. First, can I, Wang Yuan, occupy all the houses and gardens of any imperial court except for the residence in Nancheng? Even the house in my southern city was purchased when I was the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu. In the past few years, I have not expanded an inch of land, and I have not rested a single brick or tile. Seventy or eighty members of my Wang family are too crowded to live in that house, and it stands to reason that my house should be doubled before it can be shared. Second, even though the residence was crowded, this time I still vacated a courtyard and settled more than a dozen refugees in the west courtyard of my former house. All I can do is to do everything I can to settle the people, even if my family lives a little crammed, I can't let them freeze to death on the streets. ”

Princess Yongmu snorted and kept her face calm and didn't speak, she didn't have anything to refute.

"In addition, the princess said that I came for all the royal relatives present, and said that I had some ulterior motives. I would like to ask the eldest princess, what do you think I am? Wang Yuan asked coldly.

"You know your own intentions. I don't need to talk about it. Princess Yongmu muttered.

"Eldest princess, if you talk about intentions, my intentions are to let the refugees settle down for the winter, let the situation in the court be stable, and let Your Majesty's heart be stable. It's all about the big picture. Why am I doing this to you today? Don't I know the consequences of offending you? But why don't you want to think about why I didn't mess with others? Because they have not encroached on public places for private use, as you do. If you can take care of the overall situation and keep to yourself like everyone else, why should I provoke you? The residents of Chengdu have taken the initiative to share their worries for the imperial court and vacate their limited premises to house the refugees, but what have you done? Not only are you unwilling to accept and settle the people, but you also want to occupy public places, do you still think about the court in your hearts? If you are serious about upholding your majesty's authority and prestige, you should not obstruct me in every way when I negotiate with you. You are a relative of Your Majesty, and you should be an example, not a stumbling block. ”

Wang Yuan's words were righteous and categorical, and his tone was quite serious. It's almost reprimanding everyone in the hall. Some of the emperor's relatives were very ashamed, some gritted their teeth and were angry, and some bowed their heads and were speechless, not daring to look at Wang Yuan. Some of them are not unaware that their actions are wrong, but they are used to enjoying privileges and take everything for granted, so they are indignant and come to Xuanzong. At this moment, Wang Yuan's words made them suddenly understand that this was not the time to make trouble, but to obediently abide by the rules.

When the hall was silent, Xuanzong slowly spoke: "Wang Yuan, I know that your thoughts are good, and I also understand that you are a piece of the heart for the court and me. But you can't be so simple and rude. All of you here are relatives of the emperor, how can you make them lose face by doing this? In this case, this matter is settled, you apologize to them, and they are also actively cooperating with the resettlement of refugees, so everyone can take a step back. ”

The royal relatives were overjoyed. Wang Yuanyi is stern, and His Majesty may not be able to punish him, but if he can make him apologize and admit his mistakes, it is also a good way to save face. In the future, I can tell the world that it was Wang Yuan who apologized and begged for permission in every possible way, and the emperor's relatives vacated the house for Wang Yuan, which not only lost face, but also dealt a blow to Wang Yuan's arrogance.

Wang Yuan looked at Xuanzong's indifferent eyes and sighed in his heart, what he did was completely for the sake of the court, for the sake of him Xuanzong, he should vigorously support himself. However, he made himself apologize to the parasites in front of him. If it's either that he's really old and stupid, or that he's simply favoring these parasites and taking the opportunity to suppress himself.

"Your Majesty, the minister will not apologize." Wang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"What?" The relatives of the emperor were shocked.

Xuanzong also looked at Wang Yuan in surprise, he didn't expect Wang Yuan's refusal to be so crisp.

If the minister apologizes, it means that what the minister did was wrong. If Your Majesty thinks that it is wrong for a minister to settle refugees, then the minister has nothing to say. ”

"You thought of going there, I just want you to reconcile, you did the right thing, I give you recognition, but you also have to take care of everyone's face." Xuanzong frowned.

"Face? They want to save face, can I, Wang Yuan, lose face? Isn't it a contradiction that His Majesty acknowledges that I did the right thing and yet asks me to apologize? It has always been the wrong person who apologizes, but I didn't expect to apologize when it was right, which is the first time in the world. Your Majesty is really an eye-opener. Wang Yuan smiled.

"Hey, why don't you open it so much? I am only making peace for you. Xuanzong rubbed his forehead and said.

"No need, if the princes, princesses, and horses are dissatisfied with my Wang Yuan, you can keep your dissatisfaction. The minister doesn't care about that. Your Majesty, this peacemaker, doesn't have to be a pawn. If His Majesty wants the minister to apologize, the minister will resign at this moment, and the minister is exhausted, and he hopes to return to the bland. Wang Yuan said.

"Bold Wang Yuan, are you the only capable person in the world? Without you, my Datang will die? He actually used this to blackmail His Majesty. Ying Wang Li Jian finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly.

Wang Yuan shouted in a deep voice: "Lord Ying, I don't want to blackmail Your Majesty, this is what I say in my heart." If you want me to apologize to you, I will resign. There are so many talented people in the world, and Datang is not short of me Wang Yuan, so don't put a big hat on me. What I, Wang Yuan, have always done is for the sake of the court and His Majesty, and there is a public opinion on right and wrong, but it is not the turn of His Royal Highness King Ying to cover my coffin. ”
