[Chapter 29: Covering the field and persuading Nong Yu Wenrong] (2)

Still...... Can it be like this? Yu Wenrong was really shocked by Li Longji, and he said unprecedentedly: "If ...... If so, of course the minister ...... Approve. ”

"Good!" Li Longji stood up in high spirits, walked in front of Yu Wenrong, and at the same time asked the Zhongshu Sheren to draw up an edict, saying, "From now on, appoint the Eighth Rank Inspector Yu Wenrong as the Fifth Rank Imperial History Zhongcheng." The establishment of the envoy position, with Yu Wenrong in charge of the inspection of the field and the household, is called ......" said Li Longji chuckled lightly and said, "If it is said to be the inspection of the field and the household, as soon as you hear it, you will know that it is to manage the people and ask for money, which is not good, so you have to change the word." ”

Li Longji paced and thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "I will call you the 'farmer who covers the field'." After that, I will give you half a year, and you can arbitrarily select suitable talents from among the civil and military officials, and they are the 'agricultural judges' who are about to go deep into the localities. All of you, when exercising your powers, do not belong to the imperial system. They belong to you, and you are directly accountable to me. Got it? ”

Yu Wenrong originally thought that it would be very good for the saint today to listen to his words carefully. He never expected that his goal would not only be easily achieved, but his will to be promoted would be even more sudden. Things were too much for him to expect, and neither were he happy or worried, so he just stood there in a daze.

Yuan Qianyao was almost mad by this Yuwen Rong, he was usually a very dexterous person, but today he was awkward and stupid. Seeing that he had forgotten the number of courtesies, he looked directly at the monarch in a daze, and Yuan Qianyao hurriedly nudged his shoulder.

Only then did Yu Wenrong come back to his senses, and solemnly knelt down and bowed: "The minister will do his best to live up to the trust of the saint!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Qianyao was already so angry that he couldn't speak, Xiao Jiangyuan smiled helplessly, and reminded: "Yu Shi Zhongcheng has not thanked him yet. ”

Li Longji finally couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, if you can do this well, it is the greatest reward for me." ”

In Li Longji's case, the matter was settled in this way, but the draft appointment system was undoubtedly rejected, and the Chinese letter had not even been issued. The hundred officials led by Zhang Jiazhen, the Zhongshu Ling, objected one after another, saying that Yuwen Rong had accumulated excessive wealth, which not only disturbed the people, but also increased the burden on the people, and his heart was undesirable and his law was not feasible.

This is indeed one of the biggest oppositions that Li Longji has encountered since he took the throne, and the last time was when he was dealing with a plague of locusts. That time, thanks to Yao Chong, this time, Li Longji wanted to come by himself. He only asked at the court meeting: "Then what do you say, what should we do about this?" ”

Sure enough, there was no sound at once. Li Longji hardened his attitude: "Since you can't help it, then listen to me." It is imperative to cover the fields and persuade the peasants, and if anyone opposes them, they will all be dismissed! ”

The hundred officials immediately discussed it, and Li Longji saw that the toughness of the language did not get the effect he wanted, so he simply really singled out a few people to remove them, and the court was completely quiet.

Xiao Jiangyuan watched quietly on the side, and secretly said in his heart, although this method works, but for the reputation of the Son of Heaven not to become a tyrant, her family Ah Lang can't use it often. After using it this time, it will not be able to be used for a while in the future, and it seems that her family Ah Lang does not have such worries.

At this moment, Li Longji is sitting firmly in a high position with a posture of looking at the world, and his eyes are far-reaching and scorching. He mobilized all his pride, and he was full of style, proving from the inside out how powerful his words were. Xiao Jiangyuan stared at Li Longji like this, and couldn't help but smile deeply.

How can she not admire such a Lang?

Hearing this, Yuan Qianyao and Yu Wenrong immediately bowed their hands and said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Seeing this, other officials had no choice but to compromise for the time being. Today's saint is no longer the monarch who ascended to the throne at the beginning of the year, and they still try to clash with him as little as possible, and wait and see what happens. When there is a problem with the real execution of those peasant judges, and they go to impeachment, it will be justified and impeccable.

It's a pity that they never waited for that day.

Half a year later, when the decree was officially issued and implemented, the fugitives in all parts of the country were overjoyed, and some people were moved to tears, calling those peasant judges "parents." The response was so good and the execution was smooth, which even Li Longji himself did not expect.

Yuwen Rong was not surprised. Over the years, although the fugitives do not have to pay taxes in the military, and seem to be living better than before, in fact, they have no legal protection, and they encounter injustice on weekdays, and even their parents dare not look for them; Second, without the identity of a good citizen, even marriage is a problem. They have to hide and live a life of fear all the time, and in the long run, who can stand it?

- That's for later.

At present, Yu Wenrong has become Li Longji's new favorite minister, and he is still a capable minister who is proficient in practice, and his limelight is incomparable to that of the new prime minister Zhang Jiazhen.

Zhang Jiazhen has decided to endure the calm for a while at this time, the ups and downs of the Huan Sea have been in Hedong for 30 years, and Hexi for 30 years, who knows what should happen at this moment? Yu Wenrong is still a young man after all, and the road is still long.

What he is more worried about now is what Li Longji thinks of him. It has been more than half a year since he returned to Chang'an, and he deliberately inquired about the deeds of the first two pairs of prime ministers, and for this reason, when Xiao Jiangyuan sent him out of the palace, he always pulled people to ask non-stop, and even stuffed small gifts. Li Longji already knew what the first two pairs of prime ministers were, and when he compared himself, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and sad.

In the past, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Lu Huaishen and Su Kun, the saints personally went out of the temple to greet them, and then sent them away in person, and when it was cold, they would specially ask Xiao Jiangyuan to personally send a cloak, and when it was hot, they would also give ice. That Yao Chong moved into the Sifang Pavilion under the pampering of him; No matter how fierce Song Jing's words were to the sage, the sage smiled and was not angry, and scolded him casually; Lu Huaishen can let the sage personally send someone to arrange the aftermath without doing anything, and after Su Cheng resigned, the sage always talked to him about articles.

Look at him Zhang Jiazhen again, not only has the saint never greeted him in person, but his title is different. is called Yao Chong and Song Jing, they are all "Yao Gong" and "Song Gong", and he is directly "Zhang Xianggong", and he has more points!

What does this mean? This shows that the saint does not know enough about his abilities! If the saint really knows enough about his true talents, he should know that he is also a talented person, and closeness and respect will arise spontaneously, how can he be in this situation?

But the more anxious Zhang Jiazhen was to express himself, the more impatient and rigid he became, and the four handsome men under him were not clean enough, and gradually, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, like Li Longji, were not so satisfied with him. Zhang Jiazhen has always been sensitive, and her grasp of this wind direction is particularly accurate.

Zhang Jiayou, who has just returned to Chang'an recently as the general of Jinwu, is Zhang Jiazhen's younger brother, and when he saw that his brother was always sad when he became the prime minister, he couldn't help but persuade: "In any case, my brother is the first of the hundred officials." Hasn't the saint shown that he wants to quit the prime minister, that is, he is giving his brother a chance. The first two pairs of prime ministers have been working for more than three years, and you have at least two more years left, brother. Brother, don't worry, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to have problems, let your four protΓ©gΓ©s be honest for a while, I patrol the gates and streets of Chang'an with my brothers on weekdays, but I don't listen to their bad words, Brother thinks that the saint can't hear those words when he is far away in the deep palace? ”

Zhang Jiazhen is the most fond of her own brother on weekdays. After being reprimanded by his younger brother, he suddenly felt comfortable and calmed down. However, things often go according to people's wishes, and soon another incident appeared, which made Zhang Jiazhen inexplicably in crisis again.

In September of the eighth year of Kaiyuan, Concubine Wu Xian became pregnant again. Li Longji and Concubine Wu Xian were both mixed feelings, and they both asked in advance if there was any way or home remedies that could help the child get rid of the fate of early death.

Queen Wang saw that Concubine Wuxian was a little haggard than before, and thought of her three babies who died young, and she was also a little unbearable, so she often took a few concubines who were good friends with Concubine Wuxian to the Ayaqi Hall to comfort her.

Jiang Jiao, the eunuch of the palace, has always had a good relationship with Li Longji, and he is also an acquaintance with Queen Wang. Since Yao worshiped the prime minister in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he listened to the words of his nephew Li Linfu, and no longer asked about the government, and was cited by Li Longji as a good person. Over the years, he can even enter and leave the harem freely, and he is the guest of honor of the concubines, and he is deeply liked by the concubines because of his handsome and cheerful appearance.

When Queen Wang went to comfort Concubine Wuxian, she always took him with her. And with him here, Concubine Wu Xian can indeed relax and laugh.

On this day, Li Longji was also there, and he also brought Li Xian and other four brothers and wives over together. Because the season has entered autumn, the shadows of the trees next to the Taiye Pond are swaying, and the red and green are very beautiful, so Li Longji simply set up a banquet next to the Taiye Pond and let everyone sit down to enjoy the autumn.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Jiao said: "The minister deliberately went to the people to search, and found that there are also many parents like saints and virtuous concubines. Parents often send a new child to a relative or friend to raise him when he is four or five years old, in good health, and in no danger. Almost all of the children sent out survived, and after that, those parents rarely died after giving birth. ”

Li Longji said happily: "Really? ”

Jiang Jiao said: "The ministers and the servants of the ministers have inquired about nearly three squares, and even those long-lived old people have said so, and they are correct. ”

Li Longji looked at Concubine Wu Xian: "What does Yueniang think?" ”

Concubine Wu Xian stroked her lower abdomen, her face flashed with reluctance and worry, and finally turned into firmness: "You might as well give it a try, it's just ...... Who is the right person to raise them? ”

For a while, only the sound of the silk and bamboo team could be heard at the banquet.

It was Li Longji's adaptation of "Purple Clouds", and the strange thing is that as soon as this piece was halfway through, I heard a burst of drums rushing by, but it seemed to have an order, and I was stunned to bring the song into the score of another song.
