Chapter 22: Choice

Although Li Qing did not have a beard, as a person who came over, the eunuch and the man Princess Anqing could still be separated.

At this time, the other princesses also discovered Li Qing's 'special' and couldn't help but be surprised.

Li Qingtuan saluted, "Weichen greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Wechen?

"He's the doctor of the main palace." Queen Ma explained, "A few days ago, the queen mother's condition worsened, if it weren't for him, maybe she would have been buried here." ”

Several princesses hurriedly said, "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed his head to Li Qing and expressed his gratitude.

Then it was the family affair between mother and daughter, Li Qing listened to these parents, and it was very boring.

……

"Chang'an, last month, I heard your father praise Ouyang Lun for his ability, speaking of which, it hurt you." Queen Ma sighed, "He just got married, he took over the errand of inspecting the tea and horse trade, and in the past two years, I haven't seen him a few times, and you are not pregnant yet." ”

"It's all for the court, and my daughter is not bitter." Princess Anqing's answer was very official.

Queen Ma smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I'll talk to your father when I go back, let him come back and rest for a while, and change someone else to take over his shift......"

"No."

Princess Anqing sat up from the chair at once, and immediately realized that she had lost her temper, and remedied, "My daughter is a royal woman, how can she delay national affairs for the sake of her children's personal affairs."

The horses are already familiar with the tea and horse trade, and it will take a long time for the new officials to get their hands on the rash changes.

If it is for the sake of his daughter alone, abandoning the country's major affairs, how do people in the world view their daughter? ”

Li Qing pursed her lips secretly: Women still have to study, look at this little mouth, one set in one, it is really 'for the country and the people'.

……

Near noon, Queen Ma left the princess's mansion in a phoenix, accompanied by Li Qing.

"Li Qing." Queen Ma lifted the sedan curtain and beckoned, "Come here." ”

"What do you command?" Li Qing stepped forward.

"Aren't you holding the brocade guard?" Queen Ma said in a low voice, "Send someone to Bashu and find that Ouyang Lun." ”

After a pause, "Beat him well." ”

"Huh?"

"Don't make a noise." Queen Ma glared at him.

"Uh... Be. Li Qing lowered his voice and said tentatively, "Niangniang, is it in terms of life style, or is it ......?" ”

"Does this still need to be said by Bengong Ming?"

Queen Ma was a little displeased, "The tea and horse trade is very profitable, although Ouyang Lun was born in Jinshi and reads the book of sages, it is inevitable that there will be times when he is confused." ”

"So...... What does Niangniang want Weichen to do? Li Qing continued to pretend to be stupid.

secretly praised in my heart: Queen Ma is old, but she is not confused at all, Princess Anqing's little Taoism is not enough to see.

Queen Ma said hatefully, "Let him do things well, don't be greedy for money, this will is clear enough, right?" ”

Li Qing sighed secretly and asked, "But what if he has already committed a heinous crime?" ”

Bustard's 'great event' is by no means just talking.

"Li Qing." Queen Ma's face was slightly cold, "There is no evidence, and you have framed a first-class member out of thin air, what do you know?" ”

Captain of the horse, from a product!

"The minister is guilty."

Queen Ma took a breath and did not answer Li Qing's question, but said, "Anqing is the youngest daughter of this palace. ”

"Got it!" Li Qing nodded slightly.

……

Li Qing did not follow into the palace, nor did he go to the Zhenfu Division, but went home directly.

He didn't know how to choose now, from a rational point of view, he should follow the queen's decree and send Liu Qiang and them to beat Ouyang Lun.

As for how Ouyang Lun harmed the people, what does it have to do with himself?

But he couldn't convince himself, so he let Ouyang Lun continue to plague, obviously he had the ability to stop it.

After ten years, although he rarely went down the mountain, he still understood the life of the people in this era.

Life is not ordinarily difficult!

The yield of one season of rice per mu is 2~3 stones, excluding land rent, taxes, seeds, farm tools, etc., and the rice that is twice cropped in a year can barely be harvested once.

After threshing, it is only about 260 catties, and a young couple can cultivate 5~6 acres normally, which means that they can only get about 1500 catties after a whole year of hard work.

The food and clothing of the whole family are all counting on these grains to live, and the per capita is generally only about 200 catties.

On average, it is converted to three or two meters per day and per meal, and the children and the elderly are barely satisfied, and the young people are simply not enough, so they can only work hard.

Mulberry, wheat, or other crops are converted into grain, and the harvest is not too much different.

Of course, if you have your own land, or the people along the coast, you can still live, at least you can eat enough.

But nearly half of the cultivated land in the Ming Dynasty is firmly in the hands of the landlords.

It is very appropriate for a young man to be called the pillar of the family, because if the 'pillar of support' falls, the family will not even be able to maintain their livelihood.

The lives of the people are already so difficult, if there is another huge corruption, I don't know how many people will die.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.

This sentence is often said by Master Zhang Sloppy.

Although the master and apprentice practiced in the mountains, they were not really isolated from the world, and there were often villagers who went up the mountain to ask for medicine, and the master Zhang was sloppy and never received money.

Whether it is the education received in later generations or the teachings of the master in this life, Li Qing cannot convince himself to be a pure refined egoist.

Besides, he is a thousand households in brocade clothes, and it is a matter of duty to check whether the Ming officials have violated the law, and it is not excessive.

The Captain of the Horse is also an official!

Taking a step back, even if he is classified as a relative of the emperor, Jinyiwei still has the right to investigate, but most Jinyiwei are unwilling to do so.

After some careful consideration, Li Qing said slowly: "The will cannot be violated, but it must be investigated!" ”

He knew very well that it was useless to beat, and this man, once he became greedy, he couldn't hold back at all.

After making up his mind, Li Qing got up and went out, ate a bowl of cold noodles on the street, and went to the yamen.

Department of Pacification.

As soon as Li Qing arrived, Liu Qiang sent the news of the inquiry.

"My lord, it's all clear, that Wang Hai's cousin is married to Ouyang Lun's cousin."

"......" Li Qing said speechlessly, "This Wang Hai is really good at fighting the autumn wind, and the relationship between the eight poles and the eight poles can't be beaten, so he is stunned to make him mix." ”

"It's not all, his cousin's parents died when he was a child, and he grew up in Wang Hai's family." Liu Qiang explained, and said suspiciously, "What the adults want to investigate, shouldn't it have anything to do with the horses?" ”

Li Qing said secretly: A cousin's cousin has such treatment, which shows how rich this colt himself is.

He asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Really?" Li Qiang smacked his lips, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to, the emperor's relatives and relatives are in our hands, and we can handle it the same, but it's just ......"

"Just a little scrupled, huh?" Li Qing spoke it up for him.

Liu Qiang scratched his head and said with a dry smile, "That's true." ”

Li Qing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "There is a will,

You take fifty shrewd and capable brothers and go to Bashu to tell that Ouyang Lun that you must work hard and don't be greedy for money. ”

After a pause, he said, "After passing on the message, it will be broken into parts, and it will be carefully investigated what Ouyang Lun has done in the past two years.

Remember, you must keep it secret, and when you have the news, you will send someone back to tell me immediately, and don't spread the word, even the commander can't tell me. ”

After Li Qing's guidance, Liu Qiang really made a mistake.

Thinking that the order referred to later was also an order, his courage suddenly grew, "Yes, obey the order." ”

"Well, let's do it as soon as possible, no matter what you find, don't alarm him, just send the news back as it is."

"Yes!" Liu Qiang arched his hand and said, "Let's do it." ”

……

Li Qing sat for a while, went to the back hall to find Mao Xiang and asked for a copy of "Da Ming Law", and went back.

The Da Ming Law was formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and in a sense, the regulations in it are holy decrees, which must be memorized, and may be of great use in the future.

At night, Li Qing did not go to the Drunken Immortal Tower.

But the back hall of the Drunken Immortal Building is more lively than ever, and the emotions of the guests are higher than ever!
