Soon after Liu Bowen returned, the cotton sent by Li Jing was sent to Shangshu Province, along with the method of playing cotton and the instructions for making down jackets.

Liu Bowen immediately arranged for manpower to pop out 100,000 cotton to make quilts and cotton clothes, and sent people to collect a large amount of wool to weave down jackets.

Before the snow fell, he would make warm clothes and distribute them to the people in the city, the soldiers in the army, as well as the emperor, concubines, chamberlains, and maids in the palace.

Soon, a few days passed, and Chang'an ushered in the coldest time of the year, with a heavy snowfall at night, and the weather dropped rapidly, and the whole Chang'an looked like a white coat.

In such weather, for literati and sorcerers, make an appointment with a few friends to get together, cook a pot of wine, get a few plates of snacks with wine, and everyone chant poems together, dance and ink, and don't live too chic.

For the people of Chang'an City, it is another painful and difficult day, even if it is difficult, life must always go on.

In order to cope with this cold winter, the imperial court changed the warm clothes for the forbidden army for the winter yesterday, and they were not afraid of freezing to death when they stood guard!

As for the cotton clothes, the imperial court sold them to the commoners at cost price, and in such a cold weather, there would be no one who was stupid enough to freeze to death rather than buy cotton clothes.

Moreover, the price of cotton clothes is very cheap, ordinary families can afford to buy them, and as for those extremely poor households who cannot afford to eat, they have their own imperial court relief.

The imperial court has a special organization, which is responsible for providing relief to the elderly and orphans who are lonely, and will also provide living necessities, medicine, and so on.

In the west of Chang'an City, there is a shop selling honeycomb coal, honeycomb coal is of high quality and low price, and it is loved by everyone once it is launched, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is popular throughout Chang'an City.

Honeycomb coal can not only be used for heating, but also can be used for cooking with boiling water, which greatly saves time and saves a lot of living expenses, and can save a lot of money over time.

With the popularization of honeycomb coal, people discovered that the charcoal, which they originally regarded as garbage, was actually a treasure that could lay golden eggs.

Many people beat their chests and regretted it very much, especially the noble heroes who sold the coal mine to Li Jing, the emperor's relatives and relatives, etc., their intestines were repentant.

……

In the regent palace, Li Jing listened to the report of his subordinates on the recent situation of Chang'an City, and couldn't help but show a smile, especially when he heard that a lot of money had entered the inner pocket, he laughed even more!

Li Jing raised his head, saw the servant's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, his face was even redder, and asked: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, I don't have any hobbies, I like to listen to the truth!"

Ximenyang rolled his eyes after hearing this, he knew that Li Jing had started to talk nonsense again, what Li Jing said, sometimes it is good to listen to it, if it is true, it will be dead, Ximenyang hurriedly glanced at the servant, let the servant be smart, don't say anything.

"Back to the regent, it is rumored that you are going to murder the saint, but as a human minister, you will not do the things of a human minister!"

The servant did not grasp Ximenyang's words.

"Nonsense, this king has done his best for the Tang Dynasty, and he has worked hard to slander this king for murdering the saint, and the saint is obviously staying in the palace to enjoy himself!"

"Without the dedication of this king, would the saint have been able to live happily today? You don't have to dare to do anything, you can enjoy the glory and wealth, how many people dare not think about it. ”

Li Jing was very angry when he heard this, someone dared to slander him and damage his image of loyalty!

"The regent is wise, those who slander the regent should go to hell, the old slave thinks it is better to let the prison department investigate this case thoroughly!"

Ximen Yang hurriedly said.

"What you say is reasonable, immediately go and notify Zhou Xing and others to investigate thoroughly, be sure to find out the real culprit behind the scenes for this king, and return this king to a clean slate, if you ignore this matter, who will dare to be loyal to the court in the future?"

Li Jing said angrily.

"Whoa!"

Ximen Yang answered, and immediately beckoned the servant to pass the word.

"Qiyu Regent, Jia Dayin, a scholar from Zhongshu, is asking to see you outside!"

Just then, a servant walked in from outside and reported to Li Jing.

"Call him in!"

Li Jing sat on the main seat and said.

The servant saluted and retreated, and called Jia Dayin outside to come in, and Jia Dayin crossed his hands and saluted.

"Jia Aiqing, what is the important matter when you come to see this king at this time?"

Li Jing asked.

Under normal circumstances, the Zhongshu Sheren is in charge of drafting edicts, seals, and orders, accepting the upper recitals, and senatorial seals, and will not appear in front of Li Jing unless there is something that must be discussed with Li Jing.

Or if there is an edict that needs to be drafted by him, he will be summoned to draft the edict.

"Weichen wants to join Liu Yizhi!"

"Liu Yizhi? What do you want to do with him? ”

Li Jing is very curious, Liu Yizhi is the prime minister of the dynasty and Jia Dayin's top boss, why did Jia Dayin sue Liu Yizhi?

"Weichen Shen Liu Yizhi slandered the regent behind his back, he said that the regent can support the restoration of the saint, why don't he return the power to the saint, but hold the power in his own hands, so what can he discuss with Dong Zhuo Cao thief?"

Jia Dayin bowed his head after speaking, not daring to say a word.

Li Jing's face turned blue immediately, you Liu Yizhi, you dare to orchestrate me behind my back, I am so loyal, but I am said to be a traitor like Dong Zhuo and Cao Thief, it is really hateful!

"I originally admired Liu Yizhi's talent and wanted to reuse him, but I didn't expect him to go against me, that is, I can't get along with Datang and saints!"

Li Jing was very angry, thinking that the rumors in the market were probably spread by Liu Yizhi.

If Liu Yizhi is not severely punished, how can he convince the public, Li Jing plans to hand over Liu Yizhi to Zhou Xing for interrogation.

At this time, Jia Dayin threw another bombshell: "Regent, the minister also heard that Liu Yizhi privately accepted a gold bribe from Sun Wanrong, a Khitan from the governor of Guicheng Prefecture, and also had an affair with Xu Jingzong's concubine. ”

The corners of Li Jing's mouth twitched after hearing this, how much enmity does this Jia Dayin have with Liu Yi?

Is it necessary to slander Liu Yizhi like this?

It is also accepting bribes, and it is fornicating with other people's concubines.

In the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there is no law on the conviction of fornication with other people's concubines, this is a personal moral issue!

But Liu Yizhi accepted bribes, and it was also a bribe in the hands of the Khitan in Jianzhou Prefecture, which is a big taboo, Liu Yizhi colluded with foreign leaders, what does he want to do?

Could it be that he, Liu Yizhi, wants to lead foreign soldiers, plots against him, and wants to rebel?

"Do you have proof?"

Li Jing asked.

"The minister has no evidence, but what the minister said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood, if the regent doesn't believe it, he might as well let the people from the Criminal Prison Department interrogate Liu Yizhi!"

Jia Dayin said that from the moment he decided to expose Liu Yizhi, he had no intention of letting Liu Yizhi go, as long as Liu Yizhi was sent to the Criminal Prison Division, even if he was not guilty, he would become guilty!

"Order Zhou Xing to take someone to arrest Liu Yizhi, and interrogate me if Liu Yizhi has bad intentions, and what other accomplices does he have?"

Li Jing waved his hand.

Ximen Yang took the order and left, Jia Dayin also said goodbye and left, and the rest was handed over to the Criminal Prison Division.

After Zhou Xing received the order, he almost jumped up excitedly, and rushed to Liu Yi's mansion with two shifts of officials.

"Open the door, open the door!"

Outside Liu Yizhi's mansion, a group of fierce officials banged on the door desperately.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

There was a sound of vicissitudes from inside, an old man trotted over, took the bolt of the door, and before he could reach out to open the door, a group of officials broke into the door directly, almost knocking the old man out!

"Which yamen are you from, how can you trespass into Liu Xiangye's mansion?"

The old man looked at the official errand who rushed in, his heart trembled, his hand trembled slightly, and he asked.

"I am Zhou Xing, the director of the Criminal Prison Department, and I am here to arrest Liu Yizhi, a rebellious minister and thief who slanders the pillar of the country and intends to commit rebellion! Where is Liu Yizhi? Take us there!"

A trace of excitement flashed in Zhou Xing's eyes, he hadn't been so happy for a long time!

The old man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, Zhou Xing didn't respect the old and love the young, so he directly asked the old man to be dragged aside, and ordered a direct search, even if Liu Yizhi's mansion was turned over, Liu Yizhi and all the valuable things in his mansion should be taken away.

Not to mention a penny, even if it is an ant, you can't let it go, take it out and take it away with the ant nest.

"Presumptuous! Who dares to make trouble in my house? ”

Liu Yizhi heard the report from his subordinates, and a large number of officials broke into the mansion, and immediately summoned people to check who was so bold and dared to run to his mansion to make trouble.

Seeing Liu Yizhi with a group of family members, holding tools in front of him, Zhou Xing's mouth outlined a wicked smile, and all the officials immediately confronted them, some pulled out their sabers, and some clenched the water and fire sticks in their hands.

"Who is I? It turned out to be you, a vicious dog, who dared to come to my house to make trouble!"

Liu Yi was not polite at all, and directly scolded Zhou Xing for being a dog.

Zhou Xing was not angry at all after hearing this, what if he was a dog, not everyone is qualified to be a dog for the regent.

"Someone told the regent that Liu Yizhi was plotting against you and intended to rebel, and the regent specially ordered me to arrest you!"

Zhou Xing sneered, as long as you enter my Criminal Prison Division, you will be allowed to survive or die, obediently admit the crime, and confess your accomplices.

"Arrest me? Is there an edict from the Son of Heaven? ”

Liu Yizhi asked.

"No, but I have the regent's edict, do you want to come with me, or will I have you locked up and taken away?"

Zhou Xing said coldly.

"Humph! If it has not been drafted by the Zhongshu Province and reviewed by the Ministry of Menxia, the document of the Son of Heaven with the seal can also be called an edict? ”

Liu Yizhi's rebuttal.

"Liu Yizhi, do you want to disobey the edict?"

The excitement in Zhou Xing's eyes was even worse, he didn't expect Liu Yizhi to dare to openly disobey!

At the beginning, when the minister of the DPRK heard his name, he was not scared and his legs were weak, and it was the first time he saw such a hard stubble as Liu Yizhi, which made Zhou Xing even more ecstatic, so it was challenging!

How boring it would be if everyone saw him and was as afraid as they were when they saw a demon!

"How can I obey such a disorderly fate? Knock these thugs out of the house. ”

Liu Yizhi waved his big hand, didn't even look at Zhou Xing, turned around and left, and the family members immediately waved the weapons in their hands and fought with the official messenger brought by Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing didn't dwell too much and left directly with people.
