In March, the winter wheat on the Shandong Plain is already half a foot high, and in two months, this crop of winter wheat will be harvested.

However, most of the winter wheat here is grown on dry land, which is still somewhat insufficient compared to the wheat fed by the dense canals in Chang'an.

Yun Chu dismounted, came to the wheat field, pulled up a clump of winter wheat, and after looking at the root system, he found that the root system of winter wheat, which should have a developed root system, was no better than the root system of the wheat sown in spring on the Chang'an Plain.

It just so happened that Li Hong's car passed by here, and when he saw Master standing in the farmland, he got out of the car and walked over and said, "Did Master find anything?" ”

Yun Chu threw away the wheat Miao in his hand and said, "Didn't it snow in Shandong last winter?" ”

Li Hong thought for a moment and said: "There was a heavy snowfall in early December, and I still remember that the officials in Yanzhou also reported that the snow was so bad that my father and emperor also allocated 7,000 guan and asked the local officials in Yanzhou to make up 10,000 guan to build shelters for the people whose houses collapsed. ”

Yun Chu pointed to the winter wheat seedlings on the ground and said, "Obviously, there is no heavy snow in Yanzhou in December, at least, the disaster caused by the heavy snow is not enough to cause the people's houses to collapse." ”

Li Hong has been close to farming since he was a child, and he is familiar with things in the field, so he glanced at the wheat seedlings that the master discarded on the ground, picked them up and looked at them again, and said: "The taproot of winter wheat at this time should be one and a half feet, and it is less than half a foot here, which should be caused by the lack of water in winter." ”

Yun Chu said: "I also remember Yanzhou's snow disaster allocation last year, that money is still decomposed by me from the profits of various state-owned stores in Chang'an, for this reason, many shopkeepers are quite dissatisfied, now, if the snow disaster in Yanzhou does not exist, I have to ask where is the 8,000 yuan we allocated to Yanzhou?" ”

Li Hong nodded and said: "Since this is the case, it is necessary to verify, come here, immediately investigate the growth of Yanzhou winter wheat, and also go to the Daomen under Si Tianjian to check whether there was a snow disaster in Yanzhou in December last year." ”

Yun Chu said: "This is a very serious problem. ”

Li Hong nodded and said: "I know, this is a clear proof that Yanzhou officials ignore the imperial power, they dare to fabricate the disaster situation casually, and defraud the disaster relief money from my father, and the imperial court knows nothing about it, which shows that Yanzhou officials are rotten from top to bottom." ”

Yun Chu thought for a moment and said, "Do you dare to kill these people?" ”

Li Hongdao: "Master thinks it's time for the disciple to stand up?" ”

Yun Chu said: "Go and discuss with Xu Jingzong how to do it." ”

Li Hong nodded and went back.

The gentle former army Sima was deprived by the emperor, so now he has become a member of the Yunchu junior army, he saw Yun Chu leave the brigade and run to the wheat field to see the wheat seedlings, and he also muttered to Li Hong for a long time, so he said to Di Renjie: "Xue Changfeng obviously went to Youzhou, why can he still leave so many secret reports in Yanzhou?" ”

Di Renjie said: "Xue Changfeng is actually a very cautious person, the reason why he wrote these things that can be detected by the Hundred Cavalry Division into secret reports and left them to us, it means that the Hundred Cavalry Divisions here are already rotten, and they must have been complicit with the local officials." ”

Gently yawned and said: "If such an official is in Chang'an, it is very suitable to peel the skin and bone, make it into a white bone man, and give it to the Tai Hospital as a teaching tool." ”

Di Renjie glanced at Gentle and said angrily: "If the whole Tang Dynasty does the same, I think the white bone people in the Tai Hospital will pile up." ”

Gently shook his head and said: "Forget what you can't see, since you see it, then don't let it go, our brothers have killed hundreds of ten great evildoers in Chang'an for more than ten years, and this has reversed the atmosphere of Chang'an, and it is better to do it than not to do it." ”

Di Renjie sighed and said, "After all, it's not legal." ”

Yun Chu led the army to drive around the land of Yanzhou for three days surrounded by the emperor's chariot before arriving at Yanzhou City.

The big and small officials in Yanzhou have long been hundreds of miles away to greet the emperor's car.

Just when these officials were thinking about how to serve the emperor well so that their future could be further advanced, the soldiers and horses led by the crown prince crushed over them like a tide.

This crushing was not an adjective, but a real crush, and the cavalry trampled over the officers.

By the time the 3,400 heavily armored cavalry swept past the site where the officials had been greeted, all that was left on the ground was stumps and broken arms and tattered corpses.

The crown prince Li Hong sat on the horse, his eyes were cold, and the war horse walked around this land full of corpses, and then said to Xiao Siye behind him: "Two hundred and twenty-one? ”

Xiao Siye hugged his fists on the horse and said: "From the history of the assassin to the eight-grade palm, one is not bad, one is not bad, and there are three people who complain about the disease, and they have also canceled the illness and come here." ”

Li Hong said again: "It didn't hurt the innocent, right? ”

Xiao Siye said: "When they came, the last general strictly ordered them not to bring their servants. ”

Li Hong nodded and said, "Then go into the city, follow the list and start searching for the house and taking people." ”

Xiao Siye licked his dry lips, and with an order, he rushed towards Yanzhou City, a hundred miles away, with the prince and everyone, along the way, anyone who encountered obstacles was killed.

Regarding the sudden murder of the crown prince Li Hong, the accompanying civil and military officials were only stunned for a moment, and countless officials from Shandong took off their official hats, tied their hands, and knelt down before the emperor Luan drove to plead guilty.

Li Jingxuan and other officials were silent and silent, and until now, they still don't understand why the prince would commit such a bestial act in Yanzhou.

Seeing that those officials related to Yanzhou looked like crazy demons, Li Zhi slowly walked down from Luan's car, stood in the middle of this group of courtiers and said, "Are they really wronged?" ”

Kong Zhixuan slowly raised his head covered with dust and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the prince is punished for not teaching." ”

Li Zhi grabbed the jade belt with both hands and said to Kong Zhixuan: "You should be happy, instead of continuing to make noise here, those people are dead, and the matter will end here."

Mencius told King Qi Xuan: The king regards his ministers as siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as a wolf.

Now the situation is not like this, I regard the courtiers of Yanzhou as my heart, but they regard me as Kou Yun, in this case, do I still have to treat them well? ”

Kong Zhixuan said: "What crime did they commit that they were trampled into meat by the prince's soldiers and horses?" ”

Li Zhi looked at the place where the tragedy took place in the distance, and said indifferently: "Don't talk about the prince, he is actually helping you to relieve the trouble, he is not cruel, if he doesn't make a move, you will see an even more brutal me!"

Kong Zhixuan, I came to ask you, does the Liangshan thief really have nothing to do with your Kong family? ”

Kong Zhixuan looked up at the emperor and slowly stood up, and said calmly: "The subordinates really don't know, the Kong family really doesn't know." ”

Li Zhi looked at Kong Zhixuan and said: "I am willing to believe you, a descendant of the master, but now you explain to me the matter of the Yanzhou blizzard in December last year, and I was ready to check it later, it was you who said in the court that disaster relief is like fighting a fire, and you can't wait for a moment, so I bypassed the cumbersome appropriation process of the account opening department and directly ordered Chang'an to allocate 7,000 yuan to Yanzhou...... I have saved the people like fighting fires.

Kong Zhixuan, you come to tell me, did Yanzhou really encounter an unbearable snow disaster in December last year? ”

Kong Zhixuan said with a puzzled face: "The urgent report of Yanzhou Assassin Zhang Dazuo first came to the hands of Weichen, and the urgent report said that it was snowing heavily in Yanzhou, and the snow in the wilderness was up to three feet thick, and thousands of houses near Yanzhou collapsed...... Is this true? ”

Li Zhi looked at Kong Zhixuan and said with a wry smile: "On the morning of December 9 last year, it did snow in Yanzhou, and it began to snow from the moment of Mao Shi, and it stopped at two o'clock, and the snow could not drown the instep of the foot...... Kong Zhixuan, how confused you are-"

Kong Zhixuan was stunned, and only after a while did he roar and said: "Zhang Da is a dog thief, how dare you deceive the old man so far, Your Majesty, it is Weichen who does not investigate, so that Your Majesty is ashamed, Kong Zhixuan, capital crime!" ”

Li Zhi tiredly waved his hand to the seventeen officials kneeling on the ground and said: "That's it, that's it, the prince has already killed people for you, this matter is over, I only hope that you can still respect my father, and you also know how to serve the court of the Tang Dynasty, and remember your beliefs at the beginning of your career." ”

It wasn't until Luan drove forward, and the people who escaped death got up from the ground, just looking at the direction of Yanzhou City one by one, with indescribable seriousness and solemnity.

Li Jingxuan came to Kong Zhixuan's front at this time and said viciously: "Kong Zhixuan, Your Majesty can forgive you, do you think the princes in the court can be as magnanimous as Your Majesty?" ”

Facing the emperor, Kong Zhixuan did feel ashamed, but when facing Li Jingxuan, Kong Zhixuan put his hands into his sleeves and said indifferently: "Although the last book is impeached." ”

Li Jingxuan sneered: "This time, it is the credit of the Kong clan that took the initiative to cooperate with Your Majesty's land reform policy to save your Kong clan, and Your Majesty is because you value the leading role of your Kong clan, so you will spare your life."

In this case, Your Majesty has forgiven you, and you should repay Your Majesty well, if there are waves in it, there will be no place for you in this world. ”

Kong Zhixuan said: "Although the last book is impeached." ”

Li Jingxuan sneered: "Who will impeach you in this book and talk to you about your efforts, next time, if you Kong make a mistake, you will definitely not face the face of the old man, but the iron hooves of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

At that time, no matter how many years or how many generations your Kong clan has extended, it will be wiped out under the iron hooves of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Kong Zhixuan didn't say a word, got into his carriage, slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears flowed down.

Yun Chu's army passed by Fang Cai's slaughter place, and at this moment, the corpses on the ground had been collected by the people led by the prince and thrown into a big pit, and were being buried.

The smell here is terrible.

Gently open your eyes and say to Yun Chu; "Before, the prince was an enemy of His Majesty's new policy everywhere, and His Majesty has attracted a lot of dissatisfaction these days, but now, the prince is exerting his strength and sharing the same fate with His Majesty, there should be no more bastard words about his son and father, right?"

Yun Chu said: "It's good, it's better than everyone chewing my tongue if they have nothing to do." ”
