Chapter 1496 Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain
Early in the morning, He Lianrong got up, washed up, recited scriptures, and then had breakfast.
There was meat for breakfast, and when the servants brought the food, He Lianrong asked, "Do you want to go home?"
He Lianrong's family had no singers or dancers, no wives or concubines... The family was all made up of men. There were few things to do, but the wages were not low, so the servants were very happy to do their job.
The servant sighed and knelt down, "I only want to serve the master until I grow old."
"The poor monk didn't blame you." He Lianrong said helplessly: "The poor monk is asking you, what if I let you go home?"
The servant stood up slowly, "Young man... I'm still willing to serve the master."
"Tell the truth. Besides, why don't you want to let you go home?" He Lianrong said.
This servant was relatively simple, so Helianrong asked him specifically.
The servant said: "I don't have to worry about anything if I am a slave in the master's house. I will have food, clothing, housing and transportation. But if I go home, I still have to worry about my livelihood. I would rather be a slave in the master's house."
"knew."
After breakfast, He Lianrong left the house.
"master!"
"I've met the master!"
The neighbors saluted He Lianrong very respectfully.
He Lianrong, who was dressed in black robe, nodded slightly and led the horse out of the alley with a calm expression.
The morning light was faint, and there was already movement outside. Over the houses on both sides, the smoke from the kitchens was blown by the morning breeze. Dogs were barking, adults were yelling, and children were howling...
"Interesting fireworks!"
Heliancai got on his horse and thought of the fireworks that the emperor had mentioned.
"Is this what your Majesty wants to protect?"
The attendant said: "Master, haven't these always been there?"
"When the world is in chaos and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, where can the smoke of fireworks come from?"
"But the world is at peace!"
"The world is at peace, and when the people are hungry, where does the smoke come from? Where does the strength come from to shout?"
The attendant suddenly realized, "So what your Majesty wants to protect is the people's rice bowls?"
"right!"
When he arrived at the imperial city, He Lianrong went straight to find Han Ji.
Han Ji was drinking tea in the check-in room. The sky was slightly bright and the check-in room was dim. Han Ji didn't ask anyone to light a candle, but was humming a tune happily.
"The master is here."
Han Ji didn't move and asked people to make tea.
"No need." He Lianrong shook his head, and Han Ji said, "It's just a cup of tea."
"Material desire is the enemy of cultivation, and frugality can make one's soul clear." He Lianrong sat down.
"You fake monk, are you really successful in cultivation?" Han Ji said with a smile.
Heliancai put her hands on her thighs and leaned forward slightly, "The servants in the poor monk's family don't want to leave the country. How is your family doing?"
Han Ji was startled, holding the tea cup and shaking his head, "I asked, but they all refused. Even if I offered to give them money, they would be dismissed. If they were hired, they would be worried that they would be evicted from their home one day. And their children and grandchildren would not be able to survive. "
"When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. You and I are the people around His Majesty, and the servants will naturally rise. This is a problem." He Lianrong said: "Your Majesty has changed the employment system for the people in the palace, and you and I have to take the lead. "
"There are only three servants in my house. All of them will be repatriated when they return. I am willing to leave a note on the contract. You can't give anyone a hand."
"That's right. But there's one more thing." He Lianrong couldn't help frowning when he saw the tea brought by the clerk, but he still reached out and took it, "The war smoke in various places gradually dissipated. Those people in Guanzhong feel like they have been facing a powerful enemy for a long time, so they should Take action."
"Your Majesty is watching them!" Han Ji said with a smile.
"Every place has slowly subsided, but the evil species has not moved in Guanzhong. Could it be that they are really afraid?" Chun Yudian asked.
This is outside his study room. There is a pool in front and more than ten pots of flowers. In late spring, all the flowers are blooming. The wind blows, bringing bursts of floral fragrance.
Yang Xinxiang stood by the pool and threw some fish food casually. The fish in the water gathered frantically to grab the food. For a moment, the water
The noodles are boiling.
"Guanzhong is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Once Guanzhong is in chaos, the world will also be in chaos. Emperor Wu also wanted to suppress my family, but Guanzhong
Even if the rich and powerful join forces, she can only die out.
Then she launched the imperial examination and wanted to use poor people to compete with us in the officialdom. But what she didn't expect was that 89% of the people who passed the imperial examination were from us. After all, they were married for us.
Clothes."
"However, that scoundrel set up a school in northern Xinjiang, which only accepted civilian children, and what he learned was different from those outside... This scoundrel did not open the imperial examination this year because the world was not stable. It will be held next year. I don't know what he will do this year.
What are you doing?"
The two of them looked at each other and found a look of fear in the other's eyes.
"That person's tricks are endless and it's a headache."
"There's no need to worry about this. Right now, we need to be wary of that scoundrel attacking the slaves in our house like us."
Yang Xinxiang clapped his hands and the remaining fish food fell into the water, causing another wave of fighting. "It seems that he doesn't dare to do it for the time being."
"No, I thought he would definitely take action."
"He will take action, but he is afraid that Guanzhong will be beaten to pieces. Therefore, he will hesitate and wait for the opportunity."
"That's a hero, don't underestimate his ruthlessness."
"If he dares to attack us, Chen Hua has an idea." Yang Xinxiang said: "Without the slaves, we will just abandon the fields."
Chun Yudian's eyes lit up, "Wonderful! There is no shortage of food in our home, and we will not starve to death. But if the fields under our names do not produce food...!! There is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, and that scoundrel can only drag his son and daughter away.
It’s wonderful to eat in Dongdu!”
"Guanzhong is the granary of the Tang Dynasty. It was the spring plowing season a while ago. If we had done it at that time, those fields would be barren now."
Han Ji and He Lianrong jointly asked to see the emperor and raised the issue of when Guanzhong would take action.
"Some outsiders say that Your Majesty is afraid." He Lianrong said with a smile: "If they knew that His Majesty just wanted to wait for the spring plowing to be over, I don't know what they would think."
"I am afraid that they will go all out and leave those crops in the ground without paying attention. If so, the food harvest this year will be much less..." Han Ji said with some worry: "Once there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, the problem will
That’s big.”
"I have thought about this issue."
The emperor's eyes were dark, "Speaking of which, those rich and powerful people have been evading taxes for many years, right?"
Han Ji: "…………"
Heliancai: "…………"
The emperor stood up and said calmly: "A bunch of idiots are so arrogant that they really think I can't do anything to them? Are the troops from all over the place starting to retreat?"
"yes!"
"The only way to deal with these pests is exposure to the scorching sun." The emperor pointed outside, "The sun is not bad now." The order was immediately issued.
"Your Majesty ordered the troops from all over Guanzhong to be on guard. If anyone makes trouble, they will be suppressed immediately!" The troops who had just returned immediately set off.
The frequency and number of officials and generals entering the palace also increased, and the palace also felt a bit of an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
"Says His Majesty is going to take action."
"Who do you want to attack?"
"Those noble people in Guanzhong."
"God! I heard that 90% of the world's aristocratic families are in Guanzhong. Those people are stamping their feet, which makes the world tremble. Is Your Majesty going to fight with them? "Yes!"
"It won't be long before the world is at peace!"
Several palace people were discussing this matter at the foot of the steps.
"Yiniang is here."
Yi Niang appeared at the top of the steps, glanced at several palace people, and then slowly walked down the steps.
She went to Li Laoer's place.
It happened that Huang Wei came to visit the two children and brought some toys from outside to Li Laoer, who was very happy to play with them.
"Yi Niang!"
After seeing Yi Niang, Li Laoer put down his toys and stood up to salute.
Yi Niang turned sideways and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Yingwei said: "Yiniang, you came just in time. I heard that Your Majesty was outside.
Do you want to take action against those noble people?" "Yeah!"
The emperor did not conceal the matter, but rather made a big splash about it.
"That's a hornet's nest!" Huang Wei sighed: "I heard people in the teahouse say that these people were involved in the fall of Qianchen. Why bother, Your Majesty..." "They were indispensable for the collapse of Qianchen. Because of this, Your Majesty
We have to take action. Otherwise, if it continues, the Tang Dynasty will decline in less than a hundred years." Huang Wei was worried after all, and Yi Niang said: "Your Majesty said that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. While he is here, he has this prestige and skill.
"
"That bastard is going to take action!"
Chunyudian hurried to Yang's house.
"I just found out." Yang Xinxiang's face was ashen. "The troops who had just suppressed the place set off before they had a rest. That scoundrel can't wait!"
"Mr. Yang, what should we do?" A fierce light flashed in Chun Yudian's eyes, "Otherwise, the fish will die and the net will break?"
"He has a powerful force, so what can we do to fight him to the death?"
"In Chen Guoshi, it was we who took action and overturned the country. Now that scoundrel has not gained a stable foothold, what is he afraid of?"
"At that time, Chen Guowen was active in martial arts, and most of the officials and generals in the world were powerful and powerful people from my family. When we climbed high and shouted, the world would naturally respond. But what about now?"
Yang Xinxiang sighed: "That scoundrel has taken root in northern Xinjiang for many years and has cultivated his own civil and military team. Now it is this team that is helping him control the world. If you and I stand up and call out, we will not get the world's response.
, Instead, the army broke through the door and entered."
"Mr. Lang!"
A servant hurried over and said, "Oh no, there are troops coming outside."
"How dare he use the army to block the door?" Chun Yudian took a breath.
"The last time he rode on the Yang family, my father said that this person was unruly. But I never thought that once he decided to take action, he would be so violent."
Yang Xinxiang stood up and said, "Go and have a look."
Chun Yudian said: "I guess the army has also come to my house. I have to go back and take a look."
"That's fine."
Yang Xinxiang walked out calmly, followed by more than a dozen experts and two staff.
The Yang family is very big, and you can see the servants gathering along the way.
After the emperor's horse stepped on the Yang family last time, the Yang family rehearsed countermeasures.
Outside the gate, hundreds of soldiers lined up waiting.
The door opens.
Yang Xinxiang came out.
Looking at these people, he asked, "What's the matter?"
When he saw Wang Laoer, his heart became cold.
Wang Laoer said, "Your Majesty has ordered all places in Guanzhong to clean up the population. I will come and get the Yang family register."
Yang Xinxiang smiled and said: "Thousand-year-old Yang family has many servants..."
Wang Laoer took a step forward and stretched out his hand.
His eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Huanghuang Tianwei, do you dare to resist the order?"
