Chapter 156: Doing Evil
Li Shimin suddenly felt a little helpless, he suddenly felt that his actions were a little ridiculous, and even a little ridiculous.
He even thought about what a terrible situation the imperial court would be in if She'er spread this matter in Chang'an.
Isn't this matter the inaction of the Tang officials in the final analysis?
Chen Jiahao did a lot of evil, but no one cared about it, and no one asked.
And Qin Shou met it, and he took care of it, but you have to hold Qin Shou accountable.
Is there such a truth in the world?
Is this your Li Shimin's reasoning?
You Li Shimin don't boast of loving the people like a son, why do you want to connive at the wicked and punish the good.
In this way, the authority of the imperial court will plummet in the hearts of the people.
In fact, Qin Shou didn't think about it so much, he was just thinking about how to refuse to admit his mistakes, and then not completely anger Li Shimin.
After all, rebelling now is almost impossible for him.
"Okay, then the minister will read this paper to his father, and let all the adults in this court listen to it!" Qin Shou took out the paper that had already been prepared from his wide sleeve, and then slowly unfolded it.
"In March of the third year of Zhenguan, Liu, the wife of Liu Fei, a grass farmer in Chenjia Village, sued Chen Jiahao in Chenjia Village to seize two acres of Liu's field in April of the second year of Zhenguan!"
"In March of the third year of Zhenguan, Chen Yixin of Chenjia Village sued Chen Jiahao in Chenjia Village, and in October of the first year of Zhenguan, he forcibly seized Chen Yixin's money and 301 Wen!"
"In February of the third year of Zhenguan, Chenjia Village..."
One by one, they are all evidence obtained by Qin Shou and Fang Xiaoshang, and there are also fingerprints by these villagers.
Now he has listed them one by one in this great hall.
After Qin Shou finished reading, put away the paper.
"Three acres of land, three hundred wen..." Li Chengqian listened to these numbers and sneered, "These small sums are also worth ......."
"Shut up!" Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin suddenly slapped the table hard, his face gloomy.
Qin Shou looked at Li Chengqian with a serious face, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, three acres of land, three hundred Wen, three chickens and ducks, are these things not worth mentioning in your opinion?" ”
"Even putting these things in front of you, you don't even bother to look at them?"
Li Chengqian's face changed, and a deep uneasiness rose in his heart.
Qin Shou opened the paper again, and said to Li Chengqian: "Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks down on these things, then I will tell His Highness today." ”
"In Chang'an City, a bucket of rice only costs five yuan, and three hundred wen is sixty buckets of rice, which is the food that these people rely on to survive."
"Three acres of land, how much grain can one acre of land produce? Does Your Highness know? How much can this grain be exchanged for, does Your Highness know? ”
"Maybe His Highness won't feel distressed if he loses these things, but for them, this is enough to kill them!"
"Does Your Highness mean that the lives of these people are so worthless?"
At this moment, Qin Shou said impassionedly, and even his eyes were slightly red.
It's not that Qin Shou is pretending to be posturing, but when he said these words, he really thought of some encounters in his previous life.
Touching the scene, that's what I said.
Qin Shou's words settled, and the hall suddenly fell silent.
Needle drops can be heard.
Even Li Shimin sat on the throne, but for some reason, he felt that his face was hot.
Three hundred texts.
Three acres of land.
Three poultry.
These stingy words are really a bit "out of reach" for him.
Yes.
As soon as he is happy, he will not feel very distressed if he rewards the minister with more than 300 wen, or even 3,000 wen.
But he ignored that three hundred yuan is the savings of ordinary people's families.
How to describe Li Shimin's heart.
Chagrin.
Wrath.
Unwilling.
There are too many tastes in my heart.
At this moment, Li Shimin really woke up and realized that he had been on the throne for three years.
In the past three years, I have always said that I think about the people and love the people like children.
But what have you been doing?
Weaken the power of the seven clans and five surnames, and weigh the power between the princes.
Will this bring any benefit to the people?
Yes, but very little.
"Father, the son is finished."
After Qin Shou said that, he bowed respectfully and said, "If the father thinks that his son is wrong, then he will scold his son." ”
"But Erchen!"
"Never admit your mistakes!"
"Wow〜"
This sentence is like throwing a pebble into a calm pond.
It made waves among the ministers.
In front of His Majesty, naturally no one would make a loud noise, but they were all muttering quietly.
And Du Fang and the others had complicated faces, and even their old faces were a little panicked.
They didn't pay attention to these things.
The inaction of the petty officials in Chang'an City, doesn't it also mean that these ministers sitting in the court do not act?
Also with a complicated face is Li Shimin on the throne.
He looked at Qin Shou's resolute face, and suddenly seemed to see his past self.
The same jealousy and hatred, the same injustice.
Outside the palace of the king.
A convoy that looked like a wealthy family slowly stopped at the door.
At this time, Fang Yaoyi was sorting out the books in the study, and heard that someone from the house came to report that someone from the Taiyuan Wang family invited to see him.
Taiyuan Wang.
Fang Yaoyi didn't remember that Qin Shou had dealt with them, but out of courtesy, she still asked her subordinates to invite the other party into the Rumored Palace.
Inside the main hall.
Fang Yaoyi came, and before she walked in the door, she saw a beautiful girl sitting at the table.
The girl lowered her head slightly, quiet as water, but her face unconsciously showed a trace of sadness, and then matched the girl's appearance.
I really feel sorry for me.
"Wang Youlian, I've seen Princess Zhen."
Seeing Fang Yaoyi coming over, Wang Youlian was slightly stunned, and then reacted and got up to say hello.
is worthy of being the first talented woman in Chang'an, Wang Youlian quietly looked at Fang Yaoyi, and sighed in her heart, regardless of her appearance or temperament, her smile revealed the spirit of the book.
Fang Yaoyi returned the salute, and then asked softly: "Miss Wang, I don't know why I suddenly visited the palace?" ”
For some reason, after seeing Wang Youlian, Fang Yaoyi was always a little calm in her heart.
It's like, met an opponent?
It's always hard to look past it.
I would like to say something about this incident that Qin Shou encountered.
It was when I was interning during the winter break of my senior year, I was interning at a bank, and I came across an incident that I have always remembered.
The place where I interned was a small town, and many left-behind elderly people would go to the bank to handle business, and they would also withdraw some security money or something, the amount was very small, one or two hundred yuan.
Some elderly people don't know how to use ATMs, and all I have to do is teach them how to use them.
Then that day, I met an old man, he was wearing very torn clothes, his face was wrinkled, and he came up trembling and said that he wanted to withdraw money.
The old man was holding a plastic bag with his household registration book, social security card and other things, and some medicine, I don't really understand what medicine it is.
