Mao Shi,

Chang'an City,

Daxing Hall.

"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court~!"

Accompanied by the eunuch Tokugawa's voice, Li Shimin unknowingly changed his sitting position and was about to run away!

Behind Changsun Wuji, under Wang Fugui's eyes, the official who had gone to Dai County and was imprisoned by Yang Ming slowly came out holding a jade plaque. He walked resolutely, with a sense of righteousness and a holy spirit for upholding justice.

!

In fact, he felt extremely regretful in his heart. How great it would have been if he had not accepted the mission to Dai County in the first place! Now he cannot please both sides, and if he says the wrong thing, Li Shimin will be punished!

"Ask your Majesty, I will give you a memorial!"

He carefully raised the box he wanted to play high toward Tokugawa. Under Li Shimin's gaze, his heart beat so fast that he swallowed involuntarily.

"Tell everyone what's going on! Tell me the key points!"

Looking at a wooden box that Tokugawa carried up, Li Shimin frowned. How long will it take for this girl to see her flattering articles? With the comments and comments of the ministers, it seems that she still has to take care of the food this time.

Na!

No, the internal storage is tight, so let this young man whose name I don’t know speak to you in public!

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles! Wang Fugui knew very well that Li Shimin was very happy with his achievements, but at the same time he was extremely poor, so he asked his subordinates to write a large article with the purpose of exposing Yang Ming's ambition in public!

After the morning court, counting the lunch time, Li Shimin will definitely not read this long speech in public. At that time, he will definitely let his subordinates tell it in public, and Yang Ming, who violated many laws of the Tang Dynasty, will eventually die!

"Your Majesty, when I went to Yang Mansion in Dai County to deliver a talisman letter a few days ago, I accidentally discovered that... I discovered that the Marquis secretly violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, recruited hundreds of young men, and gathered a few outside the city.

Thousands of people..."

After all, he was still a powerless Confucian scholar. Under Li Shimin's imperial majesty, reporting Li Shimin's favorite people in front of the ministers still made him so nervous that he began to stutter!

"Isn't this generation of County Yang Mansion the same as the former Marquis?"

"Well! Hebei Province was severely affected by the disaster, and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be at this time!"

"Disasters are serious everywhere, but this is no excuse to recruit the best!"

"How is this approach different from recruiting strong and capable conspirators on such a large scale?"

As soon as the words of Wang Fugui's officials came out, everyone was immediately shocked!

Those wealthy families whose interests were harmed by Yang Ming's refined salt refinement and running water carts, after some instigation from Wang Fugui, all the clansmen above the early dynasty unified their voices to criticize this lawless new marquis!

The big bosses in the DPRK and China have chosen to remain silent. All reforms in history will harm the interests of some wealthy families, and the pioneers who advocate reforms often do not end well!

Although they were in a high and powerful position, they did not dare to openly confront the powerful families of the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, the majestic emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was ousted from power because he took too big a step in reform, which also led to the rebellion of wealthy families and the boiling of public dissatisfaction!

Isn’t Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang awesome?!

The granary reserves left by the Sui Dynasty were so large that the people of the Tang Dynasty could not farm for several generations.

The wealthy families of the Sui Dynasty were all waiting for the opportunity, waiting for Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang to make a fatal mistake!

The Sui Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, and the Western Expedition to Tuyuhun and the Three Expeditions to Goguryeo failed to win the multi-front war. It was not because the soldiers were not strong enough, nor because of the influence of the climate, but because some people did not want to win the war!

They deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, took advantage of Yang Guang's fanatical personal heroism, crazily plundered the people's power, ignored the people's ability to survive, and finally used public resentment to oust Yang Guang!

Yang Ming's several reforms are similar to Yang Guang's. They also touched the interests of powerful families. They were also attacked by groups. The tone of Yang Ming in the court gradually became unfavorable!

Li Shimin naturally knew what was going on, but he couldn't come forward directly. After all, Yang Ming's private recruitment of young people did violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If this was not severely punished, it would be difficult to control the future!

Without Yuan Tiangang in Chang'an City, Li Shimin was like losing his eyes. Yuan Tiangang and the bad guys are irreplaceable. Without Yuan Tiangang, even the many letters submitted by Yang Ming failed to reach Li Shimin's dragon table in time!

In fact, Yang Ming wrote to Li Shimin in advance to explain the two major events of recruiting bandits and collecting grain and providing disaster relief. Those letters contained a lot of content, and even provided perfect solutions to the problems existing among the Shandong nobles.

"What do you think of this matter?!"

Feng Deyi was very depressed. It was rare for him to cultivate in recent times. He only went to court once a month. He came to court twice in a row and met this little thorn in the Yang family. This guy is so capable of causing trouble that he always let me down.

Come play football!

"Your Majesty, rebellion is a capital crime! This case is of great importance and must be taken seriously. I hope to use this to get to the bottom of things and see if this young marquis has violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty and committed a big mistake that he shouldn't have made!"

"Xing Guogong, what did Cai Guogong say?!"

Li Shimin was even more depressed than Feng Deyi. If Changsun Wuji were here, the people in the Ministry of War would not dare to be so presumptuous!

The city of Chang'an was so poor that even Sun Wuji, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, asked Li Shimin to arrange to go back to his hometown to raise money and food. It was almost the Chinese New Year, and Li Shimin still owed many official salaries that had not been paid!

Through eye contact, Fang Mou Du Duan also confirmed that he did not dare to take the lead and bear everything for Li Shimin! Even Wei Zheng, the blood-related admonishment doctor, was holding a jade card quietly at this time, without any atmosphere.

Dare to breathe.

In feudal society, there were almost no ordinary people in high positions. Most of the people above the court came from famous families, and the worst ones were newly promoted wealthy families.

They can do whatever they want, but they dare not represent the entire family! Including Li Shimin, he is not the clan leader of the Longxi Li clan. The clan leader of the Longxi Li clan is his father, Li Yuan!

"Back to your majesty, as Lord Youpushe said, this is a very serious matter! Why don't your majesty send an angel to Dai County to find out what's going on? In this way, everyone can stop talking!"

"I second the proposal!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were two old foxes. They knew that Li Shimin was still waiting for Yang Ming to refine the salt, so they were reluctant to kill him. But they had no better way, so they could only kick the ball out for the time being!

Both of them are weak scholars. They don't want to offend the world's wealthy families because of Yang Ming, so that their clan members will be kicked out of the ancestral hall. They still want to enter the ancestral hall a hundred years later.

Although they dare not come forward to vouch for Yang Ming or come out to support Yang Ming, as long as Li Shimin does not want Yang Ming to die too soon, they have a way to let Yang Ming finish refining the salt before he dies!

Anyway, Yang Ming, a fool, offended people to death, and Li Shimin only wanted Yang Ming to successfully refine salt to improve the country's overall strength!

So there is nothing wrong with Yang Ming finishing refining the salt and then dying. Even if Wang Fugui and the others are reluctant, they will have to accept it. This will be a lose-lose situation!

"Eight hundred miles from Dai County is urgent!"

"Report~! Daixian County is urgent!"

Just when everyone thought that the dust had settled and Li Shimin would succumb to the interests of the gentry, the soldiers from the post station came from Yang Ming's hometown Dai County to rush for eight hundred miles!

In order to show the importance of obtaining intelligence, all soldiers responsible for urgent transmission were given special treatment and could ride their horses directly to the entrance of Daxing Hall.

The station messenger grabbed the reins and pulled the horse's head hard. The horse stopped suddenly twenty centimeters before the first step of Daxing Hall!

"Hurry! Daixian County is eight hundred miles away, hurry up and hand it over to Duke Yi!"

After the messenger dismounted, he took out a red package from his back and handed it to the surrounding guards.

Qin Shubao, who came after hearing the news, took the package, opened the bamboo slips and repeatedly confirmed that there was no safety hazard, then quickly returned to Daxing Hall, ready to hand it over to the great eunuch Tokugawa who was waiting there.

The guards responsible for guarding Daxing Hall were busy cleaning up the scene.

Four people were responsible for carrying the messenger onto the wooden plank and moving it nearby. One of the two people in the middle was responsible for feeding him water and the other was responsible for feeding him meat. They wanted to make sure that if Li Shimin asked to see the messenger, he would still have the strength to go to the palace to reply!

The same goes for the horses at this inn. After a long journey over the past few days, they had to be taken down and taken care of. The Tang Dynasty is still relatively short of fast horses. If one dies, there will be one less, and every carrot is a pit!

time for a cup of tea,

Li Shimin frowned and carefully read the letter written by Yang Ming.

Due to his high concentration and study, he was so immersed in it all of a sudden that he completely forgot about the ministers below who were waiting for the morning court to end and were whispering to each other!

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed. He picked up the letter with his left hand, touched his beard with his right hand, and suddenly jumped up. If it hadn't been for the recent addition of several young concubines, which caused serious waist strain, he would have wanted to do a backflip on the spot!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The ministers are still waiting for your answer!"

Tokugawa is so embarrassed!

Li Shimin suddenly lost his temper and lost his composure in public. After returning to Tai Chi Palace, will he treat me as a punching bag again? It seems that he will be beaten more than a dozen times for no reason!

It’s so speechless to follow such a master!

"Since all the ministers are here, let me tell you some exciting news! Hebei Province, the most severely affected area in the Tang Dynasty, has been temporarily under control, and all the refugees have been properly resettled!"

Li Shimin doesn't care at all about his careless appearance. As long as he is thick-skinned, others will be embarrassed! He is the king of a country, and he doesn't believe that any fool dares to gossip!

"Your Majesty, this red package seems to have writing on it!"

Tokugawa accidentally glanced and discovered the words written on the back of the red package!

As soon as Li Shimin touched it, I was like, "Oh my God!" Is this bulging red package inside the Dai County specialty that that guy Yang Ming gave me?! He also said it would surprise me, but I really didn't believe it!
Chapter completed!
