558 Imperial ambition

Li Er said lightly: "Pei Aiqing, if you find something, come quickly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The name of the person is Pei Xingzhi, who is the supervisor of the imperial history of the Imperial Observatory, this trip is to report to Li Er the beginning and end of the rumors of Chang'an's relocation of the capital, Pei Xingzhi was born in the Pei family in Hedong, and he is very capable and good at dealing with all kinds of hot hand incidents, Li Er handed over this matter to him to deal with, and Pei Xingzhi paid attention to this matter early and sent someone to investigate secretly early, so he reported to Li Er on the same day.

Under the Imperial History Stage, there are three courtyards, namely the Taiwan Academy, the Palace, and the Procuratorate, which are composed of the Imperial History, the Imperial History in the Palace, and the Imperial History, each exercising its supervisory function, and Pei Xingzhi is serving as the post of supervising the Imperial History.

"This matter has been rumored in the market, just a joke, this time because of the sudden collapse of the Daming Palace wall, coupled with several generals in order to compete for power and profit, in order to raise money and sell the property under their names, so that there are people who have a heart to take advantage of it, the three of them become tigers, the more it spreads, the most important thing is that Qinghe Cui's family also joined the ranks of selling, so the people of Chang'an panicked all of a sudden, so out of control."

"Hmph" Li Er sneered: "Sure enough, I got in touch with the Qinghe Cui clan again, and I can really toss, well, Pei Aiqing, you go on." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty" Pei Xingzhi replied and continued: "Although the Qinghe Cui clan has also been sold, the people who sold it are all cronies, and there is a suspicion of disrupting the audio-visual with fake sales, and the subordinates secretly found out that the Qinghe Cui clan took advantage of the chaos to buy a lot of shops at a low price and made a lot of money, but"

"But what, it doesn't hurt to be straight." Li Er heard what he said, his face sank, and he asked sharply.

Pei Xingzhi said cautiously: "The biggest profit this time is not the Cui family, but also several princes and the eldest grandson family, according to Weichen. The Cui family took advantage of the chaos to include about 50,000 taels of shops, His Royal Highness the King of Wei included about 70,000 taels, the eldest grandson's family had about 80,000 taels, and the most was King Wu, about 100,000 taels. Your Majesty, it's better to end this matter and stop investigating it further. ”

If Cui Jing heard it here, his heart would definitely be happy and complacent. In fact, the earliest and most profitable was Qinghe Cui's family, which was 300,000 taels. It took 50,000 taels to be found out after the supervision of the imperial history. That's because many of them are dark chess pieces arranged many years ago, and they are rarely dispatched, and the Yushitai can't find out at all, even if the Yushitai also has people from the Qinghe Cui clan lurking, otherwise, the head of the Shi clan. How easy is it to sit on?

"Oh, how can the eldest brother be like this, isn't this causing chaos to the emperor?" When the eldest grandson emperor heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly saluted Li Er: "Your Majesty." The concubine is guilty and has caused trouble to the emperor. ”

Li Er hurriedly helped her up and said: "Guanyin, how can this be your business, besides, Uncle Guo is not the initiator of this matter, but just make a small amount of money on his own, Pei Aiqing also proved the innocence of Uncle Guo, the emperor's relatives and relatives all know that the matter of moving the capital is nonsense, knowing that it is a windfall, there are really not many people who can refuse, but someone is adding fuel to the fire, it is all the mistakes of the king of Wu and the king of Wei, it is really angry, I actually took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the people, see how I clean them up." ”

Money can make ghosts grind, ordinary people don't know what's going on, can the emperor's relatives not know what is going on? The silver is almost picked up, it is indeed difficult to bear it, the eldest grandson Wuji is the uncle of the country, the elder brother of the eldest grandson queen, the important minister in the court, his own left and right hands, this little thing, naturally dare not blame him, these years, he has worked hard and complained, several times refused to be rewarded and promoted, Li Er has long wanted to compensate him, now it is only tens of thousands of taels, it is not a matter at all, the Cui family has just been appeased, these three or fifty thousand taels, people are just playing, and they can only pretend not to see, and those who can get angry are a few sons.

Empress Changsun nodded and said, "It's really a bit too much, and the concubines also agree that the emperor will punish them, so as not to be pampered." ”

Pei Xingzhi whispered: "Your Majesty, the queen, the ministers have a discussion, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Pei Aiqing, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

"Your Majesty, this matter can be big or small, don't hurt the harmony because of a trivial matter, destroy the hard-won harmony, the minister has also investigated, the loss of this time, most of them are humble businessmen, and the people in the city, because of the location and other problems such as the transfer of ownership, the dealer Liao Miao, and those businessmen, are just opportunistic and cunning and shameless people, this loss, just let them have a lesson, no need to hurt the harmony for these lowly people."

In Pei Xingzhi's view, there is no need to hurt the harmony for this kind of person, in his eyes, these people are not a pity, even if they lose their fortune, it is not a pity.

Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, this check came and went, and the most reluctantly found out his own people, I have to say that it was an embarrassment, in fact, he faintly felt that there were royal relatives to join, but he didn't expect them to become the main force, fortunately sent Pei Xingzhi, a courtier who is good at dealing with spicy hand incidents, to investigate, if it is Wei Heizi, Zhou Shishi and the like, it is estimated that he will be annoyed by the impeachment script, as soon as Pei Xingzhi spoke up, Li Er knew that he had an idea in his heart, and what he said, nine times out of ten he thought about it, and now it seems that it is true.

"Forget about others, don't investigate the past, but my sons can't end it here, Guanyin is right, if you don't teach a lesson, you will be even more lawless in the future, well, Pei Aiqing, you go and inform them, what you have obtained this time, even with interest, let them all hand over to the treasury, and the princes who participated, within a year, the use of the palace will be halved, well, King Wu is the most active, and the use of the Wu Wangfu will be reduced by two-thirds within a year, and the ban will be three months." Li Er said unceremoniously.

It's time to show Lao Tzu's majesty.

Pei Xingzhi was taken aback, and carefully advised: "Your Majesty, will this be punished too severely?" ”

"It's not heavy, I still think it's light, hum, I'm very good at collecting money, 100,000 taels, I can really get it, when I was young in Taiyuan, a few thousand taels was already very good."

"Obey."

Li Ke didn't know what to say, his Lao Tzu's words, not only was his savings confiscated all of a sudden, but the money and silver he promised to borrow at high interest could not be repaid on time, and it was even more anxious, plus the Internal Affairs Office had to cut the amount of money in his house by one year, so that he couldn't even afford to pay the reward money, so that he had to secretly pawn it for a while to return to normal, Li Ke couldn't imagine that this was the consequence of Liu Yuan's special "care" for him.

After Pei Xingzhi finished speaking, he said with admiration: "The emperor has a clear distinction between public and private, and he is strict with the prince, not only a virtuous monarch, but also a strict father, and Weichen really admires himself." ”

The emperor, naturally, he has to wear more high hats, and Pei Xingzhi is no exception.

Li Er shook his head and said, "Pei Aiqing, I'm ashamed, if you don't mention this matter, you will leave the aftermath of this matter to you." ”

"Yes, the minister obeys the order, the emperor, it is not early, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire."

"Pei Aiqing has worked hard, come here, take two boxes of red bean cakes for Pei Aiqing to enjoy on the way."

If Liu Yuan was here, he would definitely be despising it in his heart, secretly scolding Li Er for slamming the door and taking two boxes of worthless red bean cakes to send away, but not everyone is as real as Liu Yuan.

Pei Xingzhi's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you for the emperor's reward, and the ministers are willing to go to the soup and do their best for the emperor." ”

"Your Majesty, will this matter attract criticism?" After Pei Xingzhi left, Empress Eldest Sun asked a little worriedly.

"No" Li Er said with certainty: "This is originally a confused account, it will not damage the country's capital or foundation, and the interests of the great family of the Dashi clan have not been damaged, those cheap merchants, no one will be enemies with so many people for them, you can rest assured." ”

Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, waved her hand to let the palace maids and eunuchs retreat, and then asked a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, there is something about the concubine, I don't know if I should ask it?" ”

"Hehe, Guanyin, if you have something, you can say it, old husband and wife, what else can't you say?"

When she said this, Empress Changsun's pretty face turned slightly red, but she still whispered: "When the emperor was dispersing, he left his brother behind, let him participate in the highway, and let him give convenience within the scope of his ability, why is this?" ”

Li Er smiled slightly, looked at the bright starry sky outside the hall, and sighed before saying: "After listening to Liu Yuan's words, I know that the sky is high, the earth is big, and I have dominated the world with my own majesty, but in fact it is like a frog at the bottom of a well, Datang is just a small piece of paradise in the world, in a distant place, there is a bigger and richer country, instead of infighting, it is better to make the cake bigger, work together, and turn the blade outward, but after the Lingwu incident, I have a conflict with the scholar clan headed by the Cui family." ”

"Although both sides have restraint and take the initiative to reconcile afterwards, there is still a gap between the two, I let Uncle Guo, Shen Guogong and Song Guogong take the initiative to get close, firstly, so that they can get some benefits, and secondly, it can be regarded as sending a message of reconciliation and increasing trust between each other, so that we can cooperate more sincerely in the future, I want to be an emperor through the ages, and I must also create a foundation for the ages."

Speaking of the back, Li Er's words were unspeakably firm, and he even clenched his fists.

"Your Majesty, you will definitely get your wish." Empress Eldest Sun held Li Er's hand and said softly

On this night, the eldest grandson's mansion was full of laughter, and the guest of honor pushed the cup and changed the lamp in the singing and dancing, which was very enjoyable, until three o'clock in the morning, the eldest grandson Wuji personally sent Liu Yuan and Cui Jing, who were a little drunk, out of the mansion, and said goodbye, which can be said to have given the two of them enough face.

On the carriage, Liu Yuan whispered: "Father-in-law, I didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji to be so polite, although he promised that the sand and stone would be provided by several of them, with their status and status, they wouldn't be so enthusiastic, right?" ”

Although Cui Jing said that he was full of alcohol, his eyes had regained their clarity, and he shook his head with a smile and said: "With their identity and status, naturally there is no need to be so polite to us, if I am not wrong, this is the emperor's intention to reconcile with our scholars and send them to release goodwill." Speaking of this, Cui Jing's eyes showed a fine light, and the corners of his mouth smiled lightly and said:

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, Datang's will soon have a big move again." (To be continued......)
