Raccoon yarn from ramie (8)

Yun Guifei said,

"Is it the abbot's wish to escape into the empty door, but still disturbed by the world, and have to appear on the streets of the downtown area, ring the bell and chanting the scriptures in the downtown area?"

The abbot clasped his hands together and said,

"The environment is born from the heart, hidden in the city, even if it is in the middle of the city, as long as there is no distraction, the same can be cultivated. Why does the donor have to stir up the waves, and not be as indifferent as the poor monk? This retribution is retribution, and it is yourself who is disturbed after all. ”

Yun Guifei smiled,

"Birth, old age, sickness, resentment, love parting, I can't ask for it, I've already experienced it all, I have already died on the day of love and parting, now I am not a person, but a ghost, I am afraid that the abbot will not be able to overcome the turbidity on my body."

Yun Guifei smiled, but there was a fire in her eyes,

"The bitter sea turns back, and understands Lan Yin early, who doesn't want to?"

Her dark eyes suddenly brightened with coldness.

"I want to start a whirlwind, a blazing fire, a self-abandonment, an idle bone, an eternal burial in the ruins, a heart-to-heart and tongue, and a fruit to swallow alone."

The abbot sighed,

"If the donor continues like this, I am afraid that he will face unbearable consequences. It's just that the poor monk can no longer guide the donor to be good, and the donor cherishes himself. ”

Yun Guifei said,

"Thank you for the abbot's guidance, if you turn into a resentful soul in the future, I hope that the abbot can recite a sutra and transcend my resentful soul."

Yun Guifei looked at the people who were stopped by the Royal Forest Army not far away, and those hideous, disgusted, and fierce expressions fell into her eyes.

She lowered her eyes, and when she slowly opened her eyes again, she was the smoky Yun Guifei again.

Guan Wuwu pushed the teacup in front of Zuo Jin,

"Now that you have entered the Hanlin Academy, how do you feel?"

Zuo Jindao,

"How do you feel? It's just that I think it's ridiculous, I participated in the imperial examination back then, and I was the first in the second grade, but in that imperial examination, I was the only one who was not awarded an official, even if it was a small sesame official. ”

"In the final analysis, Emperor Yuan is jealous of the three dukes, and consciously sets aside the rights of the three dukes, my grandfather is the imperial history, and the Yuan emperor naturally does not want the Zhongming of the imperial history family to flourish, my father has been suppressed, and there will be no more big climate, and I am the only man in this generation, as long as I am suppressed, the Zuo family will have no future in the future."

Zuo Jin's always gentle face was a little cold at the moment, and his smile was also a little cold,

"Isn't it ridiculous that he took the imperial examination seriously, and was not allowed to be awarded an official after high school, and now he has saved the grace of a concubine, and he has directly entered the Hanlin Academy to do editing, isn't it ridiculous?"

Guan Wu forgets the way,

"As an emperor, I don't want to be diligent in government and love the people, but only want to suppress the powerful three dukes and other officials and marquises, take power from all those in power, and take it into my own hands, for this reason, I don't hesitate to exterminate loyal ministers and stain the court with blood, this is the most ridiculous thing."

Guan Wuwu put down the teacup,

"What's the use of going to court? Wouldn't it be better if they all were dismissed and sat on his supreme throne, with no one to fight with him and no one to rob him? ”

Zuo Jindao,

"Even if Emperor Yuan has long wanted to exterminate the Three Princes and make enemies with the Three Princes, I am afraid that if I know the news that the Three Princes have completely betrayed, I will go crazy."

Guan Wuwu smiled nonchalantly,

"It's not the emperor who chooses the courtiers and the people, it's the courtiers and the people who choose the emperor, since ancient times, it has always been like this, but it's a pity that Emperor Yuan sat in that position, and was sheltered by the blessings and merits left by the first emperor for many years, after poking the court and the country to pieces. I still don't understand this simple truth. ”

"If Emperor Yuan tore apart the power that covered his eyes, I am afraid that it would not be this stupid appearance."

Guan Wuwu got up, opened the window, and pressed the leaf window with a long wooden stick, just in time to see the Buddhist temple not far away.

"This Buddhist temple is very well built."

The meaning in his eyes was uncertain.

Zuo Jin got up,

"Don't bother you, I guess you still have guests coming."

Guan Wuwei looked at the window, heard Zuo Jin's farewell, and didn't even turn his head, and downstairs, Yang Sheng stepped into the Qingfeng Pavilion.

Not long after Zuo Jin left, Yang Sheng entered the private room.

"Lord Tingwei."

Guan Wuwu's cold face smiled for a moment, he turned around and looked at Yang Sheng,

"The person that the prince has placed next to His Majesty is really extraordinary."

Yang Sheng sat down, took a teacup, lifted the teapot, and poured a cup of tea.

"Lord Tingwei has impressed this king, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, this king wouldn't have believed that Lord Tingwei had the courage to give it a go. This king just installed a eunuch next to his father, which is a good skill, but it is naturally dwarfed by adults. ”

Guan Wuwu smiled,

"Your Highness is only eighteen years old this year, but he dared to respond to the minister's plan, which is an extremely rare ability in itself."

Yang Sheng's eyes were full of pity,

"My father is so seriously ill, even if his prestige among the people is ruined, I'm afraid he doesn't know, it's better to push the boat down the river, give this king a favor, and abdicate early, this is the right way."

Guan Wu forgets the way,

"The prince must grasp the opportunity, once the time passes, there will be no chance."

A scholar in Tsing Yi, with a wound on his face, stood at the door of the government office, beating the drum fiercely with his thin arms.

After a long time, the door opened a crack, and a servant peeked out through the crack and looked out.

Seeing that it was the Tsing Yi scholar who took the lead in making trouble last time, the official hurriedly closed the door, but before the gap was closed, the Tsing Yi scholar pushed the door, and the official was caught off guard for a while and was pushed to the ground, and the door of the government was wide open.

The scholar in Tsing Yi said loudly,

"The door is open! Fast! ”

Not far away, people waiting rushed up.

The official inside hurriedly stepped forward and threw the scholar in Tsing Yi out,

Like a rag, the scholar in Tsing Yi was thrown into the air, then fell and rolled down the steps.

The officials hurriedly closed the door.

Before the people could enter, the door was shut.

Someone helped the scholar up, and the scholar wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the vermilion door, his eyes blood-red.

The people went forward and knocked on the door,

"Open the door!"

"Come out!"

"I haven't opened the door for half a month since I broke the sky, do you think you can leave the door open!"

"Give us the money back!"

"Give us the money back!"

Even if the facts are in front of them, the people still believe that Emperor Yuan will not rebel, and he is not a person who uses these taxes to build a useless Buddhist temple for the sake of a concubine.

Your Majesty is full of words, how can he easily regret it.

And for so many years, I have never seen such a situation, and every year His Majesty still sprinkles peace money on May Day to celebrate with the people.

Just ask where to find such an emperor who has the people in his heart.

It must be that they are wrong, the so-called favored Yun Guifei goes to the Buddhist temple every day, they have never seen His Majesty accompany her, if it is a favorite concubine, how can His Majesty not accompany him once?

What the people don't know is that Emperor Yuan is now unconscious, and it is impossible for him to get up and accompany Yun Guifei to the Buddhist temple.

The people of Chang'an still feel that in the past, they lived and worked in peace and contentment, except for those refugees who came in from the south of the city, Chang'an has always been singing and dancing, prosperous and prosperous, and how could it be that His Majesty, who can govern such a prosperous era, is so mediocre that he will take back the holy will that cannot be taken back, and use the money to build Buddhist temples.

Therefore, it must be the government that conceals the news of tax exemption and wants to enrich its own pockets and bring disaster to the people.

The people screamed and banged on the door.

The tax payment for the big week is not the same every month or every quarter.

A month's worth of taxes in the summer is enough to cover the taxes of the entire winter, and the money collected now is fine for the wealthy, but it is a heavy pressure for the refugees in the south of the city.

Moreover, the taxes collected this month are twice as much as the taxes collected in the previous summer, and these officials secretly raise taxes in order to fill their own pockets, which is almost fatal for the displaced people in the south of the city, and for the ordinary people of Chang'an, it is not easy to get it.

The people banged on the door desperately, and the scholar in Tsing Yi said loudly outside the door,

"The Great Zhou royal family is disgraced,

Shame on the royal family of the Great Zhou! ”

Inside the door, the officials stood in a row, all with anxious faces

"My lord, because of the last incident, now the yamen has not opened the door to accept the case for half a month, let's do this, this official mansion will exist in name only, how can it withstand it."

Jing Zhaoyin's face was solemn,

"The official doesn't know, it's obviously the will handed down from above, saying that it is to increase taxes, but now it has inexplicably become the tax reduction, and the official reported what happened at the gate of the yamen that day, but he never thought that the history of Zhisu Neishi insisted that His Majesty approved the exemption from taxes, but the seal on the secret edict that ordered the tax increase cannot be faked, and the official doesn't know which side is true and which side is false."

"Now those taxes have long gone into the treasury, even if the official wants to return them to the people and ask for a clean one, there is no way. In addition to confinement of the door, there is no other way, even if you don't take the case all the time and delay the business, it can only be like this. ”

The officials looked at each other.

Jing Zhaoyin's voice did not fall, but he heard someone outside shouting,

"Shame on the royal family of the Great Zhou!"

"Shame on the royal family of the Great Zhou!"

Jing Zhaoyin frowned,

What does that mean? How could anyone shout this? ”

A servant said,

"If you go back to your lordship, it's the scholar who made trouble last time, and the last time I came, I talked about Miss Changjue's wrongs in the lobby. We took into account that the case he reported involved His Majesty, so we kicked him out, and he bewitched the people and told the people about the tax, which led to the situation today. ”

Jing Zhao Yin Dao,

"When he reported the case, what he wanted to report was just a matter of the palace family's daughter, and now this situation is just the result of his rejection of the report, his unwillingness, and provocative words."

Jing Zhaoyin suddenly patted his head,

"Quick! Pull that scholar in, and don't let him bewitch the crowd! ”

"If he wants to talk about the palace family's daughter, let him say, as long as we don't care!"

Several officials looked embarrassed,

"But, my lord, I'm afraid that our manpower is not enough to compete with those people outside."

Jing Zhao Yin Dao,

"Go, call out the guards and grooms in the backyard at once, in general, there must be fifty people, and it must not be difficult to bring one in."

"Yes!"

After quickly gathering people, dozens of people took a deep breath at the same time and opened half of the door.

Others clinged to the remaining half of the door that was not opened.

And those who rushed out quickly found the scholar in Tsing Yi in the push of the people, and dragged the scholar in Tsing Yi into it.

The scholar in Tsing Yi said loudly,

"Help! The government has killed people! ”

These people who came out rushed out of the people, the door was reopened, those people dragged the scholar in Tsing Yi, and the rest of the people immediately closed the door and pressed against the door reflexively.

The door was still being pushed and moved, and the people next to it were busy latching the door.

When the door was finally closed, a head was visible on the other side of the wall, and then more people fell off the wall.

The officials and the servants looked shocked.

The scholars in Tsing Yi ran into the lobby, followed by the people who were blocking the door.

The people shouted,

"Dog officer, you fill your pockets and spit out all the money that cheated us!"

Jing Zhaoyin's face was shocked, and he hurriedly looked for a place to hide.

But the people brought him out.

If the people want to stretch out their fists, they will fight,

Jing Zhaoyin covered his head and said,

"This official is an official of the imperial court, you beat this official, and you have to eat in prison!"

"Eating in prison? As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, which one do you want to arrest us! ”

"If you falsely preach the holy decree and increase taxes, even if we don't beat you, you will die, even if we beat you to death, what can we do!"

And the crowd will fight.

The scholar in Tsing Yi said loudly,

"Stop!"

Hearing that the scholars in Tsing Yi stopped it, many people were stunned.

Obviously, it was the Tsing Yi scholars who brought them and said that they must be able to seek justice for the taxation, but now why do they stop it?

Tsing Yi scholar road,

"This Jing Zhaoyin has just been transferred to Chang'an not long ago, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand like this, and he can't be so bold, he dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head as soon as he comes, it must be that someone above is playing ghosts, and it just happens to affect the pond fish."

Some people are puzzled,

"So what are we going to do!"

Tsing Yi scholar road,

"Lord Jing Zhaoyin, if you have evidence that can prove your innocence, please come up with it quickly, and we will give you a chance to prove your innocence."

Jing Zhaoyin stood up tremblingly,

"I have, the official has evidence, and the official is innocent!"

Seeing Jing Zhaoyin's unhesitating appearance, everyone sighed in their hearts,

Could it be that this Jing Zhaoyin is really wronged?

Jing Zhaoyin took out a roll of yellow silk from the drawer in the high case, unfolded it quickly, and his voice trembled.

"It's... This is His Majesty's secret edict, and His Majesty asked me to do this. ”

Literate people gathered around, and after reading the contents, their faces were shocked,

"This is, this is His Majesty's secret edict to increase taxes?"

Tsing Yi scholar road,

"How can Lord Jing Zhaoyin prove that this thing is real?"

Jing Zhaoyin quietly wiped a handful of cold sweat, and before he could speak, there was a humane,

"How is it possible, Your Majesty will definitely not make such a ridiculous holy decree, Guan Tingwei said it himself, His Majesty agreed to exempt from taxes, it is obviously a sure thing, how can Your Majesty go back on his word so deliberately. The emperor is full of his word, which emperor have you ever seen go back on his word and take back what he said. ”

"Yes, and how can the treasury be poor to this extent, even if it is 10,000 steps back, if it is really impossible to lack this tax, Your Majesty could not agree to exempt the tax before, why do you want to not only collect it for no reason, but also increase the income, at that time, the border pass was a great victory, and it would not be doubled because of the need for silver two to support the three armies, you must be a lie, what reason does Your Majesty have to do this!"

"That is, it must be you, the dog official, who knows that he can't hide it, so he faked a holy decree to deceive us!"

The crowd was indignant, and Jing Zhaoyin couldn't justify a complete sentence.

But the scholar in Tsing Yi squeezed away everyone and stepped forward to pick up the holy decree, but after a glance, he exclaimed,

"No, this decree... Seems to be true! ”

The scholar in Tsing Yi covered the emotions in his eyes and turned the holy decree in the direction of the people.

"You see, the seal of this jade seal, if it is not a real jade seal, it cannot be like this, the red clay on this seal is only available in the palace, and the mark is clear, the lines are obvious, and the carving must be made by everyone. There is a faint first-class wind in the mound machine, just ask, can collect these, is it true or false? ”

As soon as Jing Zhaoyin heard that the scholar in Tsing Yi was speaking for him, he immediately reacted,

"That's it, I'm wronged, this is the popular Gonggong Zhu next to His Majesty came to announce the decree, and there is a jade seal mark as evidence, which is His Majesty's personal edict."

In the Breeze Pavilion,

YANG Shengdao,

"Lord Tingwei, how did you get the jade seal?"

Guan Wu forgets the way,

"The mountain people have their own tricks, Your Highness doesn't have to pay attention to it anymore, in short, the ministers will always be on His Highness's side."
