readx; Chang'an, the incident of Princess Huo Guo's forcible occupation of fertile land is like the catkins flying around in Zhongchun, which has spread to every corner of Chang'an, this old princess who was famous for divorcing her husband back then, after being silent for more than 30 years, has once again become the focus of attention of the people in Chang'an, and its practicality' The word 'forcible occupation' is more or less wronged by the old princess, it should be more appropriate to buy by force, and her price of buying land is not too outrageous, using the market price three years ago, the price is slightly higher than the market price, perhaps because the princess is too old, the market changes in the outside world are relatively slow, I don't know that the two or three years of money promotion, so that the land price has doubled, she used the old price to buy new land, how could the landlords agree.

Half a month has passed since the incident of Princess Huo Guo, without waiting for the verdict of Jingzhao Mansion, Princess Huo Guo has taken the initiative to return the land she occupied, and tied the steward who bought the land without authorization with a rope, and sent it to the government for punishment, and publicly stated that she would never protect it. It is necessary to thoroughly investigate the similar violation of national law by Princess Huo Guo in the past, and this land annexation case is also the first major case involving the emperor's relatives since Li Yu ascended the throne, which has attracted much attention, and it has also involved Li Qing'an, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, which has added a lot of attractive tidbits to this big case.

The West Market returned to the wine shop, since the fifth Qi was beaten here, this wine shop became famous, every day there is an endless stream of people who come to visit, the wine shop takes the opportunity to do business, with fine wine and food and thoughtful service to pay for the single guests, gradually many people have become fixed wine customers, every day the wine is full, business is booming, because the fifth Qi incident has brought a little political color to this wine shop, so the discussion of current affairs has become the biggest feature of this wine shop, the Tang Dynasty has always been tolerant of speech, as long as it does not maliciously attack today's saint, In general, you can speak freely.

Since the relationship with Li Yu deteriorated, he was taken away from all power, and became the idle king who had nothing to do with the teahouse, Li Heng didn't seem to care, he went out early every day, wandering around Chang'an, Li Yu didn't care about him, as long as he didn't participate in state affairs, everything was respected.

As soon as Li Heng walked into the wine shop with a few entourages, the guy greeted him warmly, "Master Li, your seat is vacant for you, and the villain will take you there." ”

Li Heng did not reveal his identity, but the shopkeeper was enthusiastic and respectful, and there was no need to pose any identity, he nodded with a smile, turned back to his staff Shi Zhenghua and smiled: "Sir, please!" ”

Shi Zhenghua is a middle-aged man, born in the Ming Economic Branch, did not get an official position, so he was committed to being a staff member under the powerful men, he was introduced to Li Heng two years ago, the two talked quite well, Li Heng would usually take him wherever he went, Shi Zhenghua hurriedly smiled and said: "It's Brother Li who is the east, naturally Brother Li invites first." ”

"Alright, I'll go upstairs first."

The two walked up to the second floor, and the guy took them to a window seat, from where you can clearly see the gate of the West Market, and you can also hear the conversation in the lobby, the location is very ideal, this seat is set by Li Heng with a month of thirty yuan, every day at noon and two hours, can only be left to him, he sat down, glanced around, the seats in the lobby are basically full, it is just lunch time, the people are boiling, and the business is extremely hot.

Shi Zhenghua poured Li Heng a glass of wine, pointed to the next seat and said, "It seems that they are all talking about the case of Princess Huo Guo." ”

Li Heng sneered, of course he understood what Li Yu was doing, if he wanted to move Princess Huo Guo, how could it be so easy, that person had gradually recovered his health, how could he be allowed to move Princess Huo Guo, at the beginning, he persuaded him to take advantage of that person to be unconscious and let him not wake up at all, but he was soft-hearted, and now he wants to move Princess Huo Guo, missed lunch time, and his stomach is hungry again, how can there be a ready-made lunch in the world, but if he had been that person at the beginning, then now he can copy whoever he wants, who dares to speak up, it's a pity! Soft-hearted and wants to do great things, this emperor is not qualified.

Li Heng didn't say anything, he drank slowly with a wine glass, but his ears were erected, and he listened to the discussions of the people around him word for word.

"I thought that the imperial court was forced by Li Qing'an, but now it seems that Li Qing'an is just an excuse for the imperial court, and the imperial court clearly wants to make money from Mrs. Huo Guo."

This is a few Tai students of the country who are drinking and chatting, everyone is worried about the country and the people, and they have a little knowledge, and what they say is reasonable.

"Hey! The imperial court is not easy, several rich places in the Tang Dynasty have been divided, the constraints of the imperial court can be imagined, if it is really unable to hold on, the saint will never move the idea of the clan, after all, it is the same root! ”

"The imperial court is serious this time, and it actually sacrificed the third division to interrogate and track down the old bottom, how many of these clan magnates are clean, and the court is going to make a lot of money this time."

"You think things are too simple, what about the trial of the junior division, do you think it is a trial of the ordinary people? People are not stupid, hasn't Mrs. Huo Guo already returned the land? also tied up the steward to confess his guilt, this was all done by the people below, it has nothing to do with her, what crime do you think you can find, she said, this is given by the emperor, what can you do? I don't think it's over. ”

"If that's the case, the saint will be miserable, he has set off such a big momentum, and in the end, he will be swept away, alas! What a sin it is for these ministers to stir up the Holy Heavens! ”

Li Heng nodded secretly when he heard this, these students are a little knowledgeable, even the students can think of it, will those officials not think of it? didn't say anything one by one, but instigated Li Yu to do things with great fanfare, it was really his heart to be punished, but it was a pity that the stupid man was self-righteous, this time he was good-looking, Li Heng hated him, and he was already extremely disappointed in Li Yu, at this time, his staff Shi Zhenghua said in a low voice: "Envoy, what the saint is doing is developing in an unfavorable direction, I suggest that you persuade him." ”

"Humph! What does it matter to me whether he lives or dies? ”

Li Heng said coldly: "Soft-hearted, soft-hearted, women are heartfelt, blindly pursuing the so-called benevolence and righteousness, but they don't know that officials also have to support their families, and they just want to take care of the interests of the grass people, so who will do things for you?" Soldier, who fights for you? I still don't know how to reflect, and I'm still listening to the arrangements of those scholars, so I don't want such a fool. ”

Shi Zhenghua didn't speak, he drank silently, although he followed Li Heng for a short time, but only during this period of time did he really get in touch with the depths of Li Heng, this is a very ambitious person, although he has nothing to do in front of him, but it doesn't mean that he will stand by, Shi Zhenghua feels that Li Heng seems to be waiting for something, but he doesn't know what it is, Li Heng is so deep that Shi Zhenghua is secretly afraid, he is afraid that he will say the wrong thing again.

Li Heng didn't care about Shi Zhenghua's mood change, he was still listening attentively to the conversation of the people at the table behind him, he heard a topic of interest to himself, these are three low-level petty officials, he doesn't know each other, and the other party shouldn't know him, it is precisely because of this that the three petty officials said secret things that can't be known to the high-level.

"Brother Jiang, tell me the truth, how much subsidy did Anxi give you? Both of us are from Bapin, and it stands to reason that the subsidies we get should be the same, but I feel that you must have more than me, so if you tell me the truth, I will definitely keep it secret. ”

"Brother, that's because you're too careful, didn't Anxi make it clear when he gave the subsidy? Subsidies are given every month according to the grade, and there is no unevenness in widowhood, and Anxi naturally knows this, so we must be the same, if there is really a difference, that is, my lady is a little more tolerant than my sister-in-law, so I will have a few more silver dollars in my pocket than you, understand? Ha ha! ”

"Shhhh Be quiet, we have signed a confidentiality agreement and are not allowed to disclose it to the public. ”

"That's right! Right! Drink, drink! Let's just talk about Fengyue. ”

Li Heng was shocked, he understood the conversation of several officials, Li Qingan secretly gave them subsidies, that is to say, Li Qingan took advantage of the embarrassment that the imperial court could not issue a fortune, and secretly bribed the officials of the DPRK and China, if it is said that the matter of the princess of Huo Guo, Li Heng can still watch coldly, then Anxi secretly subsidized the officials to make him a little unable to sit still, the consequences of this matter are quite serious, and this matter has not been poked out, which means that all the officials involved have gladly accepted the Anxi subsidy.

Li Heng couldn't help but shudder, what is Li Qingan doing? This is not just as simple as bribery, this is why he Li Qing'an is openly competing for the throne, otherwise why would he pay salaries to court officials, and what worries Li Heng even more is that the officials accept Anxi's subsidies, do they recognize Li Qing'an to some extent? The more Li Heng thought about it, the more frightened he became, he couldn't sit down anymore, so he immediately got up and said to Shi Zhenghua: "I happen to have an important matter, Mr. can drink slowly, don't worry about the wine money, I will settle it every month." ”

Shi Zhenghua understood that Li Heng didn't want to take him, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Let you go slowly, I'll go back by myself later." ”

Li Heng glanced at the three low-level officials again, turned around and hurried away.

．．．．．．． Half an hour later, Li Heng's carriage drove into Anyefang and stopped in front of a small house, this house covers an area of about one acre, seven or eight rooms, quite old, this is the home of Li Wenjun, the assistant teacher of Guozi Jian Taixue, Li Wenjun is a distant clan in the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the family is poor, relying on his hard work in the early years of Tianbao was admitted to the Jinshi, because people are wooden, not sociable, is a typical nerd, mixed very unsatisfactory, Cui Ping, who was with him at the same time, has now done the position of the Ministry of Works, And he is still a teaching assistant from the seventh grade.

Li Heng and Li Wenjun's father have a good relationship, they have studied together, Li Wenjun's father died of illness a few years ago, and the family was so poor that they didn't even have a cemetery, or Li Heng gave their family a cemetery, so that Li Wenjun's father could be buried and solved the urgent need, for this, Li Wenjun's family has always been grateful to Li Heng.

Li Wenjun's family has six people, two husband and wife, an old mother, a pair of children and an old nurse who has been with his family for 30 years.

Li Wenjun is about thirty years old, his body is very weak, but he has a deep knowledge and is respected by the students, today is the rest of the dynasty, the country is also on vacation, he is studying at home, suddenly heard his mother say that the benefactor is visiting, he did not react at once, and when he came out to see Li Heng, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down to salute: "See His Majesty the Emperor for his humble duties!" ”

"Get up! Get up! I'm not here to put on a show. ”

Li Heng pulled him up from the ground, but saw that his clothes were covered with patches, and he couldn't help but be stunned, at this time, Li Wenjun's wife also hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, Li Heng saw that she had vegetables on her face, and her two children were also yellow and thin, with a sick face, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Li Wenjun couldn't lift his hands, couldn't carry his shoulders, a weak scholar, three years without paying materials, a big family, I really don't know how they came over.

"I'm coming to see you!" Originally, Li Heng had a belly of fire, but now the fire can't be released.

"The Emperor, please come in!"

Li Wenjun hurriedly invited Li Heng into the guest hall, Li Heng walked to the room with his hands behind his back, and when he walked to the door, he saw a dustpan full of bald pens, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Li Wenjun saw that his wife was about to speak, so he hurriedly gave her a look, and said with a dry smile: "This is the bald pen I use to practice calligraphy, which makes the emperor laugh." ”

Li Heng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your handwriting is already very good, and you are so hard, write me a calligraphy later." ”

"Definitely! Certain! The Emperor please. ”

Li Heng entered the guest hall, the guest hall is not big, the furniture is very old, but it is cleaned up very clean, spotless, Li Heng sat down, at this time, his wife brought in two cups of water, and said apologetically: "There is no tea ball at home, I will buy it immediately, for the time being, I can only replace tea with water, please bear with the emperor!" ”

"You're welcome, you don't need to buy it, you guys go get busy, I'll have a few words with Wenjun's nephew."

Li Wenjun's wife retreated, and only the two of them were left in the room, Li Wenjun didn't dare to sit down, and stood aside with his hands down.

Li Heng looked at him, saw that his eyes were a little unnatural, and knew that this was a person who couldn't lie, but Li Heng was not in a hurry to ask about it, so he said: "I want to ask you, how did your family survive without a fortune for three years?" ”

After a while, Li Wenjun said in a low voice: "Selling land, twenty-five acres of Yongye land have been sold three years ago. ”

"How much did you buy?" Li Heng asked unhurriedly again.

"Our family is Zhongtian, and it is in the relatively remote Sanshui County, and it was sold for a total of 150 yuan."

"One hundred and fifty yuan for three years, you should be able to barely make ends meet! Why are both of your children so thin like that? ”

Li Wenjun shook his head, his expression was gloomy, Li Heng squinted at him for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Did you collect Anxi's money?" ”

Li Wenjun's face was swollen red, he knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "I don't dare to hide it, I did accept it, but I didn't dare to use it, it was all collected in the box, if the court has a decree, I will hand it in immediately." ”

Li Heng snorted heavily, "You tell me, how much money did they give you?" ”

Li Wenjun bit his lips and turned white, and said for a long time: "I have signed a confidentiality contract, and I must not pass it on." ”

"Duplicity!"

Li Heng slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "Since you want to turn it in, but now you refuse to say it, what kind of secret do you keep from me, do you say it or not?" ”

Helpless, Li Wenjun had no choice but to whisper: "Anxi gave me thirty silver dollars a month, and someone will send it at that time, saying that this is a special subsidy for Anxi, His Royal Highness King Zhao heard that Yang Bingcao's wife was forced to sell spring and finally committed suicide by his livelihood, he was very sad, let us be officials with peace of mind, don't do those cheap jobs." ”

"Huh! Not bad! Thirty silver dollars a month, almost three times your material, Li Qingan is very generous to you, then you must be very grateful, right? Li Heng's gaze became stern.

Li Wenjun gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" I am very grateful, not only me, all the officials are grateful, the Emperor may not know, our son is too bitter, we have to support our family, but the court has not issued materials for three years, I want to do business without capital, and I can't afford to lose that person, only sell the field and sell the house, my colleague Assistant Teacher Luo went to work in the East Market at night to earn money, but was humiliated, came back and almost committed suicide, these Emperor Taishang didn't know it! We are not even as good as small merchants and peddlers, Sven is lost, we are grateful to His Royal Highness King Zhao, at least he gave us the minimum dignity! ”

At this time, Li Wenjun's wife also came in and knelt down, crying: "My Wenjun is also pitiful!" In order to support his family, he copied books for others, copying books every day until midnight, for three years, there was almost a dustpan with a bald pen, just at the door, didn't the emperor see it just now? ”

Li Heng was stunned, and only after a while did he say: "You didn't sell your land and get 150 yuan, and you use 50 yuan a year, although it is a little less, but it will not be bitter like this." ”

The husband and wife couldn't hold back anymore, they both cried, Li Wenjun choked and said: "My father died and borrowed a lot of money, and it took sixty yuan to repay the debt, my mother was sick, and I used at least sixty or seventy yuan to see a doctor and take medicine in the past three years, and now the price of rice is rising every day, and I am really sad, the child is sick again these days, if it weren't for Anxi sending thirty silver dollars, I really don't know what to do?" ”

Although Li Heng hated him for accepting Li Qing'an's money in his heart, he couldn't bear it when he saw their family in such a predicament, so he had to sigh and said: "Forget it, you don't have to hand over this money, just use it!" See a doctor for your children, buy some clothes, anyway, it's not you who take the money alone, the law doesn't blame the public, and the court won't do anything to you. ”

Li Wenjun was grateful, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you Emperor Tai, we also know that it is not appropriate to take Anxi's money, but this is not An Lushan's money after all, I think the imperial court should be able to forgive us, as long as the imperial court sends out materials normally, I will never ask for Anxi's money again." ”

His wife knelt on the side but was a little reluctant, so she secretly pinched her husband's leg, Li Heng saw it in his eyes, and secretly couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, how could the court have money to send out materials, not to mention them, even he didn't have it for a year, all relying on a little old bottom, he blamed himself for being a rebel who was not angry, he just wanted to raise the army, but he didn't care about the officials, the middle and high-level officials may have a solid family, it doesn't matter if they want to be rich or not, but these low-level officials all rely on money to support their families, he should also send a little bit, and he will not be exploited by Li Qing'an, incompetent!

..... "Incompetent! ”

Coming out of Li Wenjun's house, Li Heng was in a panic in his heart, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, a year ago, he could have cleaned up the Yang family, he could get a lot of money, and how many problems could he solve, but he didn't dare, now the Yang family has transferred the property, and now he thinks of cleaning up Mrs. Huo Guo, and he can also clean it up, and send three hundred soldiers to solve it, but what kind of triage does he want to do to convince people with reason, but will people be killed? Will you reason with him? It's just childish! Li Heng sneered again and again, he didn't say anything, he just wanted to see how he ended.
