Chapter 294: There is a reason for everyone's impeachment

Li Longji is finally in heaven, even if many ministers are shouting and screaming below, he can only hear it in the sky, and it will not fall directly, after the ministers quarreled for a while, they stood on the ground and waited for the emperor to come down safely.

In fact, they wanted to impeach Zhang Zhong, but this matter was caused by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the two of them also had official positions, so they couldn't impeach Zhang Zhong for any discipline.

After this lively scene, Li Longji finally came down from the sky and reluctantly glanced at the hot air balloon, he knew that it would not be easy to take it again in the future.

Gao Lishi was also accompanied by him, listening to the impeachment words of the ministers, he was not worried that something would happen to Xiaobao and Juanjuan, even if the ministers persecuted him hard, Xiaobao and Juan Juan would be dismissed from office, and it would be impossible to arrest them and kill them.

Li Longji casually found an excuse and ran away, leaving a group of ministers to discuss the continued impeachment when he went to court tomorrow, and Li Longji, who had escaped the entanglement of the ministers, did not forget to tell others not to break this hot air balloon, but to keep it well, maybe when it can be used again.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are idle here, and the two of them are now going to the construction site all day long, and there is nothing else to be busy with, and the secret plan is not counted.

The *** people of Sihai Academy may think that the price of the silver ore bought by the two of them is good, so they send a batch to the county every few days, and they don't know how to transport so much ore, it doesn't feel like an individual behavior, and it is not something that a small team can do.

The construction of the construction site has been carried out almost, the people are working very hard, the progress is very fast, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan decided to get the first model first, and then you can take the time to come to Luzhou to see, Luzon Island is absolutely not occupied, it has been a month now, the new news has not come back, I don't know if an important person has been caught there.

The two men did not know that the hot air balloon they sent to the capital had become a powder keg, and many people wanted to impeach them.

In the evening, Wang Juan found Xiaohong, Pomegranate and Cherry, and said to the three of them: "What happened last time, in fact, is because Cherry has not yet found a family, otherwise no one will use such an excuse to make up his mind, Xiaohong is said to be married next year, and the family will give a big gift at that time."

Pomegranates, cherries, what about the two of you? If there is, I will help you to see it, if not, I will choose one for you. ”

Xiaohong heard the words of the little lady, lowered her head and didn't make a sound, it seems that she really wants to get married next year, pomegranate and cherry originally listened to the previous words and didn't have anything, but as soon as she heard the back say that she was going to choose, instead of letting herself go to find it, she became nervous, afraid that she would really choose one at random, and then she would be the one she didn't like.

As soon as he saw the reaction of the two people, Wang Juan was sure in his heart that both of them had their own people, but they just didn't show it, so he said to Cherry: "I think Huzi is a good person, it's better to do it with Xiaohong and them next year." ”

"Little lady, Huzi has someone he likes, and it's also in the courtyard, it's not me, I can't destroy people, I'm not in a hurry, really, not in a hurry." Cherry hurriedly refused.

"It doesn't matter, even if he has someone he likes, I will let him marry you, and he didn't tell me, so I don't know, but you don't have anyone you like, okay, just listen to me." Wang Juan said with a big grin.

Cherry was really anxious at this moment, her face was flushed, and finally she said very quietly: "Actually, Erniu didn't marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"Oh~! Erniu? Okay, I'll ask Erniu again to see if he is willing or not. Wang Juan understands now, Cherry likes Erniu, and I don't know which point of Erniu is good, the name looks very honest, but people have nothing to do with honesty.

Cherry stopped talking now, and also learned from Xiaohong's appearance, lowered her head, and fiddled with the corners of her clothes, she stopped talking, but the pomegranate next to her said loudly, "Little lady, you don't have to ask Erniu, you see, the hairpin on the cherry head is not the one she bought herself." ”

"Don't say it, don't say it." Cherry is not dry now, come to catch the pomegranate, while grabbing the bottom of the pomegranate to leak "I don't know who it is, said that it is doing things outside, supporting one side, many times the appetite is not good, to get something to nourish the stomach to send over, along the river all the way up, after the capital to Huayuan, after Huayuan is Sanshui, Sanshui is not as good as Xiaoluo Shui." ”

Now Wang Juan also knew who the pomegranate liked, it turned out to be Song Jinggong, who was nearly ten years older than the pomegranate, and when he saw the two of them fighting there, Wang Juan asked Xiaohong again: "Do you know if Song Jinggong also has a crush on pomegranate?" ”

"Song Gongzi asked people to send a lot of things to pomegranates some time ago, including me and cherries, but we have less, and there are more pomegranates, and there is a small boat, folded with paper, with words written on it, and I don't know what the words are, pomegranates just don't let us see them."

Xiaohong betrayed the pomegranate, thought for a while and said: "Also, after the pomegranate harvested something, I bought a ginseng and sent it to Song Gongzi, it is estimated that it is almost to the place, and now I am working hard to study how to grow ginseng, saying that ginseng is too expensive, and it costs a lot of money to buy it, and I will need money to live in the future, so it is better to grow it myself." ”

Wang Juan suddenly, no wonder pomegranates have been looking for sawdust recently, and thought she was studying mushrooms, but she didn't expect it to be ginseng, at this time pomegranates and cherries are not making trouble, hearing Xiaohong's words, pomegranates are much more honest.

"Pomegranate, if you want to plant ginseng, you have to go to Xiaobao and ask, Xiaobao should be able to come up with some ideas, but you can't plant it like a mushroom, it can't be planted at all, okay, I know today, when Xiaohong gets married next year, I will also have your share."

Wang Juan came over to ask, what she was most afraid of was that the three girls liked Zhang Xiaobao, then it would be troublesome, she would never allow it, and she was afraid of making the three girls sad.

Fortunately, I chose the person I liked, so I don't need to ask anymore.

Xiaohong and the three sent Wang Juan out of the door, and then turned around and made trouble again.

Zhang Xiaobao was still waiting for news from Wang Juan, and as soon as Wang Juan came back, he asked, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"Guess what?" Wang Juan nodded, but did not say.

"Where do I guess? As long as there are no outsiders, it's fine, otherwise it's still annoying. Zhang Xiaobao was very desperate to know who it was.

"It's all our people, all of them are sneaky, and the secrecy work is not bad, just like spies, I'll talk to you when the time comes." Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao with a smile.

Early the next morning, when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to the construction site again, the people from Sihai Academy came over again, this time it was different from the past, and they actually brought silver ore estimated at 10,000 taels of silver.

Wang Juan was very puzzled and asked Zhang Xiaobao, "What do they want to do with so much ore?" ”

"What else can we do, in addition to exchanging some money to buy technology, another purpose is to make us unable to eat at one time, so that we can sell to other merchants, otherwise the land they have contracted will not be profitable, and the matter of buying straw will also not play its due role."

Zhang Xiaobao said with great certainty that he found the amount of ore sold recently, and he should have been using a certain batch of ore that was shipped first to consume his copper coins and cloth, and this time it was newly shipped, and he wanted to support the other two ways to make money.

"So that's the case, I understand, the coal thing has been almost done, and in two days it will be transported to the place, and it is time to make a furnace and collect the materials for making honeycomb coal."

Wang Juan said, thought about it, and added: "When the time comes, we'd better be able to collect all the straw as well, so that when their plan fails, they won't really be able to make the straw very useful." ”

"Not only that, but I'm also going to bring straw from other places and sell it to them together, so that they know that there are some places where not all strategies can be used." Zhang Xiaobao thought a little more than Wang Juan.

"Then you arrange, if you are sleepy, go to bed early, and arrange the reception of officials from all walks of life tomorrow, you need to arrange it in advance, so as not to make mistakes at that time."

Wang Juan yawned and turned to ask people to boil water.

Three days later, a lot of people came out of Luoyang, Zhang Zhong took the lead, and rushed to Baoxin County with a group of officials, as well as people from Zhang Wang's family, including a house, in which were Xiaobei and them, this time they were going to follow their brother and sister.

This time, the team was even bigger, and all the officials had their own cars, plus their subordinates, pulled out a long procession, passing by a place, and the people of this place were surprised to find a way to ask what was going on, whether something was wrong.

Xiaobei kept urging the team to hurry up, she wanted to see her brother and sister early, and the officials in the places where the team walked should also prepare in advance, and if they want to greet them, they must at least prepare some wine and food.

In his words, he just wanted to see his son and daughter-in-law as soon as possible, but in fact, the real reason was that he was very disgusted with the local officials using government money to invite them to eat.

When encountering some officials giving gifts, Zhang Zhong also kept his face calm and silent, and the people at home did not dare to pick up other people's things, just like that, all the way, Zhang Zhong seemed to be offending people all the way.

After five days of driving, when everyone was not too far away from Baoxin County, something finally happened, and some officials who had prepared wine, food and gifts saw that Zhang Zhong did not give face, and wrote a chapter to impeach Zhang Zhong, saying that he disturbed the people all the way, and also put up a shelf for people to eat, etc., and so on.

Let people use fast horses to send them to the capital, and it seems that they will not be willing to make Zhang Zhong disgusted once.

The ministers in the court have been impeaching Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan a few days ago, but the result has not been successful, as long as Li Longji is in the court, there are many, many things to discuss, and all of them seem to be more important, such as sealing Zen, such as shipping, such as whether the spring plowing in various places has been done, and asking which place has insufficient rain this year, whether to open a regular position.

One thing after another, so that the ministers could not immediately ignore the matter and then specifically mention the impeachment of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

When I was troubled, the excerpts of impeachment of Zhang Zhong arrived one after another, and the ministers discussed it in private, and began to use this as an excuse to impeach Zhang Zhong.

As soon as Li Longji came to power, before he could talk about how to raise the grain output and how to get the canal to help in farming, the ministers came up with the written recitals one after another and attacked Zhang Zhong.

Some people say that he has a lot of money in his family, and he is suspected of being an adulterer, and some people say that he is an official in Luoyang, and the excuse for leading the officials out is to understand the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, he has accumulated money for his family and collected a lot of money along the way.

On the contrary, if you have everything to say, you have to clean up Zhang Zhong.

When Li Longji first listened, he thought it was very interesting, and after listening to the various reasons of the officials, he had to admire the officials' ability in this regard.

But listening to it, his face changed, mainly because someone impeached Zhang Wang's two families for private training of generals, and there was a suspicion of rebellion, so the emperor sent someone to see if the guards in Zhang Wang's two families were all armed with good weapons.

Hearing this place, Li Longji's eyes were fixed on Zhang Shuo's body, Zhang Shuo used such a similar excuse to speak a few days ago, could it be that Zhang Shuo was also involved in today's affairs?

Zhang said that he originally wanted others to continue to say, so that he could regain the power that he couldn't control when the time came, but when he saw that the emperor looked over, he immediately knew that something was wrong, why did anyone mention the breakfast between Zhang and Wang's families? If this is not explained, doesn't the emperor think that he is behind the scenes?

As soon as the man's voice fell, Zhang Shuo immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the weapons carried by the guards of the Zhang and Wang families are to protect the technology, and they don't want others to steal them. ”

Li Longji's face finally improved, nodded, and motioned for Zhang Shuo to continue.

Zhang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The minister thinks that he can send someone to check on Zhang Wang's family to see if they have any good skills recently, as for Zhang Zhong taking Luoyang's officials to Baoxin County, the minister feels that it is fateful, and there is a model of Gyeonggi in Baoxin County, and many officials are not very clear about the affairs of Gyeonggi Province."

What's more, there will be models from other places in the future, rather than letting the officials not understand, it is better to study it in the past, so that the officials can better understand the affairs of my Tang Dynasty, if any one says that he understands Gyeonggi Province, the emperor may wish to ask about it. ”

Zhang Shuo didn't care if he was against the other people who impeached Zhang Zhong, he only knew that if he didn't protect Zhang Zhong this time, he would be the first to be unlucky.

As soon as his words came out, the people who had impeached Zhang Zhong just now became silent, and they became silent one by one, they were really afraid that the emperor would ask them about Gyeonggi Province, such as asking how a certain county produced grain, and asking how much tax a certain state would pay this year.

What they are most afraid of is that the emperor asks them what the buildings in various places look like, what kind of fish and shrimp are in the rivers, don't look at a lot of things, it sounds like a kind of vexatious feeling, but as long as the emperor knows, and they don't know, it will not be simple.

Li Longji saw that the people who were arguing about Zhang Zhong just now didn't speak now, but he didn't plan to let them go right away, so he groaned and said:

"Check, we must check, not only the officials in Luoyang, but also the officials in the capital, to see which family's things and money are not right according to Yulu, and then we must severely punish them, especially the officials who use luxury goods, and see which one has expensive sofas, which one has beautiful fish tanks and fish.

If Zhang Zhong has something to do at home, he will be fined three years and sent to a remote place, and if other officials have something to do, the same will be true. ”

The meaning of Li Longji's words is very clear, anyone who takes the things of Zhang Wang's family must be careful with me, as long as I find out, I will not ask who gave you it, only ask you if you can afford to sell this thing.

When the time comes, I will pack it all up and see if you are afraid of not having three years of Yulu or Zhang Zhong is afraid, whether you are worried about going to a remote place or Zhang Zhong is worried.

I don't blame Li Longji for being like this, the things he usually uses are given by the Zhang and Wang families, and some things are that the Zhang and Wang families pay for it, and the money of the Zhang and Wang families is said to be their own, which makes him feel as if it is his own, after all, the Zhang and Wang families usually don't spend too much.

It's just often used, and I've never heard of people in their family going out to the place of the fence to throw a thousand pounds, and what is even more admirable is that they have very few leftovers at home, and they won't put a big table of good things, so they throw them away if they don't eat them.

But for the places that are affected by disasters every year, he does not hesitate to take out the money, and sends it directly in the name of the imperial court, and some of the money is used for research, such as the medical school, which is a place to eat money.

Who doesn't know how the Zhang and Wang families made their money? And how is it spent? If he cleans up his family, Gyeonggi Province's economy will have to drop by 50% along with it, not counting his family's revenge.

Gao Lishi didn't say anything next to him, but he was happy, his eyes were on the people who impeached Zhang Zhong one by one, and he remembered everyone, and when the time came, he would write to Xiaobao, and he would not send anything to this part of the people in the future.

He understood what Li Longji meant, that is, you have the benefits of the Zhang family, and your body is not clean, you clearly know what the money of the Zhang and Wang families is used for, and you have to take this matter as an example, isn't it that I went to heaven once, and you didn't impeach it?

This is called revenge, clean up, clean up together, see who is doing well in the end?

Thinking of this, Gao Lishi couldn't control himself and wanted to laugh again, no matter which remote place he was assigned to, the Zhang and Wang families were still so powerful, even if they got the poorest place, they also had a way to build the place, Lingnan is an example, see how you live?

It was not only Gao Lishi who had such thoughts, Zhang Jiuling also thought of this, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is feasible, all the officials who are found, once there is something wrong, it is better to send them to the dangerous places in Lingnan with Zhang Zhong, Luzhou can be skipped, and there are other places in Lingnan." ”

The strength of these words was great, and the officials who had just impeached Zhang Zhong were frightened, even if they were not impeached, they were thinking in their hearts, there was only one Zhang Zhong in this Datang, and he could live a comfortable life when he was sent to Lingnan, who else had the ability?

The court suddenly fell silent, and everyone stopped talking, just waiting for Li Longji to make a final decision.

Li Longji glanced at Zhang Jiuling with satisfaction, this proposal is really good, Lingnan, see how many people can take the initiative to ask to go like Zhang Zhong?

When the decision was about to be made, the officials who had impeached Zhang Zhong just now changed their words one after another, and what they said made people blush when they heard it.

said that Zhang Zhong fornicated with businessmen, so he changed his words and said that Zhang Zhong may also be to help businessmen make money and prosper the local economy, and now they all know this set of theories, and they have learned a lot of vocabulary.

To say that Zhang Zhong brought people to Baoxin County is to say that Zhang Zhong may have said that in order to let the officials of the Eastern Capital know more about Gyeonggi Province, Zhang Zhong said that Zhang Zhong has many soldiers and good weapons, and he also has his own rhetoric, saying that there are many officials in Zhang Wang's two families, and some are people who lead troops to fight, and they are looking for guards to practice formations, not for their own use, and as for weapons, of course, they are testing new equipment, and they are also taking a lot of risks.

Li Longji wanted to rush down and strangle their part to death, listening to the people below find new excuses to excuse the Zhang and Wang families, Li Longji whispered to Gao Lishi: "Today I am really emotional, the Zhang and Wang families have indeed done a lot of business in private, but the money earned is also there, as long as the court needs it, take it out, and never hesitate."

These dozen or so officials have no money at home, but they are desperately trying to make money, do I really not know? If you have nothing to do, you will go to the restaurant to invite each other to eat, and the two families of Zhang and Wang have always been worthy of the court and the people, and the people in no place say that they are not good.

What about a certain official? I don't know what I think about all day long, but sometimes I think, what is loyalty, what is treachery, what is, what is evil, you say. ”

Gao Lishi rarely heard the emperor talk like this during his trip to the court, it seems that he is really angry, it should be because the people who impeached Zhang Zhong only failed to prevent the emperor from going to heaven that day, so he was angry with Zhang Zhong, thought about it, and replied in the same whisper: "The benefits of the soldiers, the way of the economy, use it for the sake of evil, use it for the evil is for the evil, and the same is true for the way of power." ”

Li Longji nodded, listened to the people below continue to change their words there, and said very boringly: "Let's discuss this matter again, let's talk about the bridge repair first, the two sides of the Yellow River, it is inconvenient to come and go, how to repair it?" ”

"The minister thought that Zhang Zhong should be asked about this matter, and he had successfully built a bridge in Shuzhou." The person who kept saying that Zhang Zhong's ability was not good just now stood up and said at this time.
