Chapter 491: Family Banquet
"Your Majesty."
In the main hall, Xu Qiao, the young secretary of Dali, was patting the horse in a subdued tone.
"This year, the world has been sentenced to fifty-eight, and the Dali Prison has been said to be too murderous, and the birds and birds do not live, and now there is a magpie's nest and its tree."
The meaning of this sentence is that there are only 58 condemned prisoners in the whole world this year, and the Dali Temple, which was too murderous in the past, did not even dare to build a nest. In a few years, there was less murder in the past, so it was a good thing that there were magpies to build their nests.
Immediately, many civil and military officers came out one after another, saying that this was all His Majesty's benevolence, and it was actually a 'few punishments' during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and the ministers congratulated His Majesty.
Several punishments, that is, the strict punishment and strict law have almost been put aside, showing that the people abide by the law, which is the true manifestation of the emperor is the emperor.
For these, Li Yunze, who was standing aside and decorating the sculpture, was full of contempt in his heart.
He was all too familiar with these operations.
It is true that only 58 death row prisoners have been reported, but those who have died in prison for 'various reasons' will naturally not be reported.
On a literal note, of course, the world is under great rule.
In the past, the birds in Dali Temple did not live, and that was because someone drove it away.
Now there are magpies to build their nests, and they can't be said to be specially caught or bought to pose for photos.
This kind of thing may be useful to fool the illiterate people in Datang, but for the educated Li Yunze, it is a joke.
Therefore, compulsory education opens up the wisdom of the people, which is a dimensionality reduction blow to all XX things.
There are also several punishments during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, because not many years after the end of the tragic war, the big guys were busy with life after redividing the fields, and when they couldn't survive, very few people would take risks.
But why did Li Sanlang get punished?
At this time, the people of Datang can't live anymore!
Not to mention anything else, in this food shortage inside and outside Chang'an City, people who starve to death will be pulled away by carts almost every day.
In this case, Li Sanlang is still being blown about several punishments, and the only explanation is that Datang is useless.
Li Sanlang didn't feel uncomfortable, squinted his eyes and smiled, and responded to the flattery of the ministers.
After a while, he said, "This is the prime minister's assistance, and he should be rewarded." ”
Immediately, he gave Li Linfu the Duke of Jin and the Duke of Niu Xianke.
The generals fought to the death at the border pass, and they really fought with their lives in order to win military merits.
But the civil servants only need to tout it, and they can easily get the title of the duke, the signs of emphasizing literature over military force, and the root cause of the martial arts in the late Tang Dynasty to take revenge on the literati are all here.
Li Linfu is indeed fond of seizing power, but also blocking the way of speech, rejecting talents and reusing Hu people, etc.
The traitor is definitely not wronged, but he is also a capable and responsible traitor.
received the reward of the knight, and Li Linfu also did something for the Tang Dynasty with his heart.
"Your Majesty."
Li Linfu stepped forward and said: "Now that the grain shortage in the east and west is getting worse, in order to transport grain to the two capitals, Jianghuai Caoyun has a heavy burden, and there are already a little complaints. However, the low grain prices in various localities hurt the peasants because of the low grain prices. ”
is worthy of being the prime minister, and speaking is level.
The words used are all 'quite heavy' and 'slightly', and it sounds like there are only minor problems.
And in fact, Nima's rebellion has come out!
Naturally, the Tang Dynasty also rebelled, even when it was known as the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it never stopped.
Especially after Li Sanlang entered his old age, he was extremely dim, from the palace to the court and then to the locality, all the way to erosion, especially the local tyrants wantonly abused and snatched, forcing the people everywhere to be surging.
Li Sanlang, who looked faint, opened his mouth and asked, "Aiqing, does it have a good plan?" ”
Li Linfu looked at Niu Xianke, "Niu Gong proposed a peace method, and the minister thought it was feasible." ”
It's not that Li Linfu doesn't want this credit, but this matter has been found out long before the canonization of the crown prince, that is, the letter that Li Yunze wrote to Niu Xianke.
If you poke things out and then take credit, you will be a fool.
Li Linfu naturally wouldn't be a fool, so he pushed the boat down the river and transferred this matter to Niu Xianke.
The cow cyclamen immediately came out of the ranks, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this matter was originally mentioned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the minister felt that this matter was feasible, so he discussed with Gong Li to play Your Majesty." ”
This kind of thing that has been put on the surface for a long time is naturally impossible to operate, so now this is arranged in the order of credit.
Li Sanlang looked at Li Yunze, who was like a sculpture, nodded slowly, and said, "The prince is young, although the things mentioned have merit, they are rough and careless, and they still have to rely on the good students of the two Qing families to improve the implementation." ”
Naturally, he couldn't put all the credit on Li Yunze's head, so he pressed the credit on the heads of the two prime ministers.
After a long and tangled front row of seats, we were finally able to get down to business.
The so-called peace law is actually that the imperial court pays money to buy grain from the hands of the people at a price higher than the market price.
The main place of implementation is the Guanzhong area, which buys the grain in the hands of the people in the Guanzhong area, and then distributes it as a salary, as military food, and sells it to the people in Chang'an City at a low price as civilian food.
In this way, the food shortage in Chang'an City can be alleviated, and the huge cost of transporting grain from the Jianghuai region to support Guanzhong can be avoided.
Of course, it is a good thing to make peace, because it alleviates the food shortage in Chang'an City, and it can also benefit the people of Guanzhong.
It's just that the problem is that most of the acres of land in Guanzhong have fallen into the hands of the emperor's relatives and nobles, and they are the ones who benefit the most.
Moreover, when the imperial court has money, it can enforce the law of harmony, but when it comes to running out of money, it will deteriorate.
For example, in history, Tang Xianzong implemented the peace law, not only did not increase the price to buy, but almost directly robbed, causing countless people in Guanzhong to go bankrupt.
Even if they rob it, they only dare to rob the food of the people, and no one dares to rob the food of the emperor's relatives and nobles.
Only the people were unlucky, and after going bankrupt, they either starved to death or rose up, which further increased the turmoil in Datang.
It was not until Huang Chao broke through Chang'an City to enjoy the chrysanthemums that these bloodsucking insects were completely solved.
There is only one major event in the court today, and there is nothing else to say after passing, so it is natural to retreat from the court and go home.
Li Yunze, who didn't say a word, walked out of the main hall and was about to return to the East Palace, but was stopped by Gao Lishi.
"Your Highness stays."
"Father-in-law Gao, do you have any advice?"
A touch of displeasure flashed in Gao Lishi's eyes, but he still said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a decree, a banquet will be held in the palace after five days, and all the kings, princesses and princesses will enter the palace to gather for a banquet." ”
"Oh."
Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "Okay, Lone knows." ”
"Your Majesty said it." Gao Lishi specially mentioned that "the crown prince and the crown princess are the role models of the kings and princesses, and they must be there." ”
Li Yunze pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, "Okay." ”
When Gao Lishi left, Li Yunze's eyes gradually became fierce, "Look for death!" ”
Five days later, the relatives of the emperor in the Lin De Hall gathered here, which was extremely lively.
Gao Lishi greeted everyone outside the palace gate, seemingly smiling and decent, but the princes and princesses had to salute when they saw him, and even shouted 'Ah Weng'. ’
Ah Weng is the meaning of grandfather here in the Tang Dynasty, of course, the princes and princesses call Ah Weng naturally not called him grandpa, in that case, Li Sanlang will go crazy, it can be regarded as a special respectful honorific title for older men.
As for the princesses and horses, they saluted respectfully and called 'Master.' ’
What this title means, then it does not need to be explained too much.
The eunuch chamberlains in the early Tang Dynasty were inconspicuous, from Li Er to Li Zhi and even to Wu Zetian, they were very strict with the eunuch chamberlain.
But in the period of Li Sanlang, he began to gradually reuse these eunuch servants.
Like General Zheng Sanpin, the border army needs to fight for a high position that they may not be able to mix in their lives, maybe just a few nice words from the eunuchs can easily get it from Li Sanlang.
It's not just Colliers.
In addition to Gao Lishi, there are also Bian Lingcheng, Yang Siqiao, Li Jingren, Lin Zhaoyin, Yin Fengxiang and others are all famous eunuchs.
Moreover, they often went out to inspect on behalf of Li Sanlang, and often served as supervisors.
His power is so great that even the temperance envoys must avoid it.
The preferences of the eunuchs are very simple, what they like in Chang'an City is power, and when they go out, they naturally like money.
These people are very good at looting, and they will be ridiculed for a million dollars on a trip, and tens of millions of dollars will be considered mediocre.
The most luxurious mansions in Chang'an City, the best fields, orchards, ponds, etc., in Gyeonggi, eunuchs accounted for half of them.
And although the eunuchs and chamberlains have no sons of their own, they have families.
Basically, every eunuch with a certain status will immediately become a powerful person in the local area, and quickly rise to become the local overlord by exploiting the people.
The severity of its calamity is no less than that of the courtiers.
When Li Yunze came to the gate of the palace, he only shouted, "Father-in-law Gao." ”
The displeasure in Gao Lishi's eyes deepened, but he responded calmly, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
After finishing speaking, he looked to the side, but he never saw anyone else around Li Yunze.
Gao Lishi asked suspiciously, "His Royal Highness the Prince, where is the Crown Princess?" ”
"Oh."
Li Yunze smiled casually, "I didn't feel well, so I didn't come." ”
"Huh?"
Colliers was shocked, "this, this, this"
Li Yunze ignored him, and simply walked into the Lin De Palace.
Looking at Li Yunze's back, Gao Lishi's gaze changed, 'When you become the prince, you think you can despise the world?' Don't you forget the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but none of them have a good end! ’
Li Yunze naturally didn't care what Gao Lishi thought.
Like this kind of eunuch who wields authority and brings disaster to the world, he will not leave any of them.
There are also their local families, and they will be handed over to the local people to deal with when the time comes.
If Li Yunze just came through and didn't have the time and space gate as a backer, he wouldn't have shouted 'second brother' to Gao Lishi.
It's a pity that the prince, who doesn't have much strength in Gao Lishi's opinion, actually has a power that he can't imagine at all.
Li Yunze entered the palace, and many royal relatives came up to salute.
Although the eyes of these people are different, there are many complex meanings. Especially the loyal king Li Heng, that expression and eyes are really indescribable.
But at this moment, they could only salute and curry favor with Li Yunze.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, with the slightly sharp call of Gao Lishi, the hall quickly fell silent.
The owner of the Tang Dynasty, Li Sanlang is finally here.
