"What, they took leave at the same time?" Li Er screamed.

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded solemnly and said, "I just sent someone to the yamen to take leave, one said that he had low back pain, the other said he was dizzy, and the specific holiday was undecided. ”

In ancient times, there was a ten-month holiday, and it was a day off every ten days, and then there was a fixed provincial festival (once in three years to visit parents, a total of 35 days), marriage leave (nine days), bereavement leave (depending on the relationship with the deceased), various festival holidays (such as seven days of Spring Festival leave), and sick leave is also one of them, but the longest is not more than 100 days, and more than 100 days will be dismissed.

Obviously, Li Er, who sits firmly on the throne, has the intention to suppress the Shi clan, and the Qinghe Cui family, who is the head of the Shi clan, is also the first to bear the brunt, not to mention anything else, the previous Hubu Shangshu is sick at home, unable to work, and does not approve the resignation, in order to press Cui Shang to death in the position of waiting for Lang, it is obviously disgusting to suppress Cui's family, Cui Shang has already accumulated a lot of heartfire, and Cui's children have also been suppressed in promotion, the most recent is Cui Jing's daughter, the wedding banquet is done, but two days before the wedding, a holy decree invited the groom away, made Qinghe Cui's make a joke that was not big or small, and Liu Yuan, who was branded as Qinghe Cui's family, was also treated unfairly, and made so many contributions, and the effort and gain were seriously disproportionate.

Seeing that he is about to return to Qinghe for a big wedding, he was imprisoned for a trivial matter, and he has not been interrogated, and the other has been released, although the emperor has stirred it up, but for Qinghe Cui's family, this is a naked slap in the face, and they have all been riding on their heads to shit, for the sake of Qinghe Cui's face, when appropriate, stand up and show the energy and character of Qinghe Cui's family.

Recognized as the head of the world's scholars, the dignified Qinghe Cui clan. Is it really paper-paste?

Li Er's face sank like water, he didn't expect that Qinghe Cui's clan would engage in confrontation in this way and vent his dissatisfaction, although everything was due to his good nephew and good brother-in-law, a small thing, it was so big, but Qinghe Cui's clan was so obviously arrogant to himself, despised his own ability, and challenged his authority, which king would be happy?

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. As the Son of Heaven, who doesn't want the subjects of the world to obey their orders and be loyal? However, the world belongs to the Li family, but the strength of the Shi clan is still extremely huge, and the huge can affect the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty. Shaking the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family won the world. It also relied on the support of enough scholars.

Li Er, who is also from the scholar family. Knowing the energy and terrible of the Shi clan, even after winning the world, he can only coexist with the Shi clan, and dare not shake the foundation of the Shi clan.

On the surface, it is a brawl between two juniors and unfair treatment, but in fact, one feels that he has enough energy. I feel that I have given too much to the scholars, and I want to try to get it back, but one thinks that I have regressed enough, and there is no way to retreat. When the contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, they begin to engage in tentative confrontations.

"Yes!" Li Er said with a serious face: "The two Shangshu have been too tired recently, so let them take a good rest." ”

Li Er didn't believe it, without the two of them, Datang wouldn't be able to operate?

Although it was a secret confrontation, both sides left leeway, Cui Shang and Cui Jing of the Qinghe Cui clan only "took leave" but "resigned", and Li Er only allowed it, not to remove them from their official positions, and in addition to the struggle, both sides retained the bottom line.

The eldest grandson Wuji paused for a moment, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, there may be something wrong with this trip." ”

"That's it, I'll send a secret guard to follow up on the matter then."

Seeing that Li Er had decided, the eldest grandson Wuji knew that it was useless to persuade Lu Dao, so he didn't persuade him, and it was okay for both sides to test it to a limited extent, nodded and said, "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

"By the way, Your Majesty, how to deal with Liu Yuan's matter? Do you want to give him a little bitterness? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked tentatively, now Chai Lingwu has returned to Chai Mansion to recuperate, but Liu Yuan is still imprisoned in Yongzhou Mansion, Yongzhou Governor Shi is his nephew, how to treat Liu Yuan, this is a problem, according to Changsun Xiang, that Chai Lingwu has asked people to pass the word several times, if he wants to give Liu Yuan a good look or something, it is best to be disabled in prison, so scared that Changsun Jingye did not dare to leave where all day long, and has always been personally guarded, and now he is saying this, in fact, he is helping his nephew to find out Li Er's attitude towards Liu Yuan.

"What was the original, it's still the same now, after all, he is a talent, and he is still a hero of Datang, and he can't be treated badly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Because of Liu Yuan's matter, the Lizheng Palace was constantly visited, and the car was like a wheel, just when the new round of imperial power and the struggle between the scholars in the Tang Dynasty ignited the smoke of gunpowder, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, Liu Yuan, the initiator of this matter, was in a clean cell, laughing heartlessly.

Today is the second day of detention, and the old demon king Cheng brought Niu Jinda and brought the high-quality wine and food from the Drunken Immortal Building, and came to visit Liu Yuan together.

"It's a sin for the two old generals to come to such a filthy place because of their little nephew." Liu Yuan said gratefully.

"Hahaha, it's nothing, if you like to come, you can come, how can there be so much hypocrisy, it's boring, just see Brother Niu, just pull him to drink something together, drink here, it's a little interesting." Old Demon King Cheng said happily.

Niu Jinda said with some dissatisfaction: "Xiao Yuan has made so many contributions, and the most reluctant is still here, the emperor is really", when it comes to the back, I can't say it, this Li Er is no longer the King of Qin, but has become the Son of Heaven, and he has scruples when he speaks, and he wants to scold him, but he doesn't speak halfway, and he swallows it back.

Liu Yuan said indifferently: "Actually, it's not bad here, eat well and live well, just be quiet." ”

"You kid is quiet, but outside because of your business, there has been a trouble." Old Demon King Cheng couldn't help but say.

"Because of me? What's up? Liu Yuan said in surprise.

"It's the matter of the gathering of people to fight in the Ambiguous Spring Building, you don't know what to do, even the emperor is alarmed, this is not counted, for your business, your future father-in-law and his brother took sick leave together, and returned to the house to rest, so that Chang'an is not calmer than before, and it has become eventful."

"What? Father-in-law and uncle on sick leave? ”

Niu Jinda nodded and said: "This matter is true, when we came, the emperor agreed to the news we received." ”

After listening to the development of the two of them, Liu Yuan shook his head wordlessly, and really pinched it, these political figures are really elusive, sometimes even the enemy who kills his father can face it with a smile, for the sake of interests, even the feud is put down, and he doesn't care about anything, sometimes because of a small thing, he loses both sides and never dies, although he is the protagonist, the core of these brawls, but until now, no one has mentioned himself to interrogate.

But it's also normal, whether it's the world of scholars or the world of imperial power, as long as the nine-product Zhongzheng system does not disappear one day, then this struggle will not end, as far as Liu Yuan knows, it seems that the nine-product Zhongzheng system will be canceled in the late Tang Dynasty, that is to say, even if Li Er is wise and martial, there is nothing he can do about it, and this time the struggle with the Qinghe Cui clan will end in Li Er's defeat nine times out of ten.

Liu Yuan smiled and agreed: "It's okay like this, it's good to recuperate, it's also good for the body and bones." ”

"By the way, this letter is for you." Old Demon King Cheng took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Yuandao: "This is an old master who asked me to give it to you, he can't come in, let the old man hand it over to you." ”

"Yes, a subordinate wrote, General Xie Cheng." Liu Yuan saw at a glance that this was the handwriting of the old master, and at the envelope, the fact was solemnly marked with fire paint, Liu Yuan was a little curious, what was going on here, so mysterious.

"It's still called General Cheng? There are no outsiders, just call your uncle. ”

"Yes, Uncle Xie Cheng."

Liu Yuan opened it and looked at it, a happy color appeared on his face, and after reading the letter, a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiaoyuan, what's the matter, look at your little face smiling like a flower?" Old Demon King Cheng asked curiously.

Niu Jinda also shook his head and said: "Yes, it's all locked up here, and I'm still laughing, if it's my old cow, I'm so worried." ”

Liu Yuan raised the letter in his hand and said happily: "Two uncles, those craftsmen who made cement for me wrote a letter, saying that they had made cement preliminarily, the effect was not bad, and it was being improved. ”

Finally got it out, with the method and firing principle that Liu Yuan said, if you can't get it again, it's simply not as good as a pig, but the ancients and the descendants are not comparable, how the descendants say that there is also the accumulation of knowledge of the predecessors, what Liu Yuan said, for those craftsmen, everything has to be explored, but as soon as the method is found, it will be improved quickly.

Old Demon King Cheng's eyebrows moved, and he said excitedly: "Really? Ha Lu Ha, that's great. ”

"Lao Cheng muttered the day before yesterday, when will the road be repaired, but I didn't expect there to be good news today, not bad, not bad, come, let's have a drink." Niu Jinda was also in a good mood when he heard this, and when he thought that there would be one more industry in the future, and there would be one more entry in the house, he was so happy that he pulled the two of them to drink.

"Okay, a drink."

"!"

After drinking three glasses in a row, Old Demon King Cheng lightly explained that Yang Weijun wanted to go to the palace again to petition and was dissuaded by himself, and then said to Liu Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, you won't blame your Uncle Cheng for this matter, right?" ”

"How dare you?" Liu Yuan said with a palpitating face: "If Uncle Cheng hadn't stopped him, not only would he have given people a handle, but it would not have been good for his little nephew and their future, fortunately, Uncle Cheng would have blocked it for me, otherwise, it is estimated that it would be a big trouble now." ”

Cheng Biting Jin smiled, didn't speak, and said to Liu Yuan with a smile: "You still have to think about how to get out, I Lao Cheng said first, although you are here, you can't lead troops to train, but we still have an agreement on the bet, if you lose, I don't dare to be polite." ”

"This is natural, the eldest husband has a promise, if he loses, the little nephew will give it with both hands, and he will never cheat." Liu Yuan said with a straight face.

With a "bang", Cheng Lao Demon King slapped Liu Yuan's palm on the shoulder and almost knocked Liu Yuan down, Ha Lu smiled, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Don't give up, my baby, hehe, the best, that's ten thousand gold and won't be changed." (To be continued......)
