Section 30: Winning the Title
The eight-hundred-mile hurried stagecoach rushed into the palace, and the joint memorabilia of Feng Ang and Yun Ye was placed on Li Er's table, this time Li Er was not angry, and used a red pen to approve the red letters on a briefing sent by the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, put down the pen, picked up the Quanzhou newspaper and glanced at it, and muttered to himself: "Quanzhou is broken, the Lingnan Navy Division is broken, and the soldiers and civilians are killed or injured no less than 5,000?" Half of the ship was destroyed? Well, it's really strict, but ah, it's good to destroy the pirates, the Lingnan Navy has been too sharp these years, and it is reasonable to suffer a little loss now, with the Great Emperor guarding there, no one should have any dissenting intentions. “
After speaking, he put aside the folds again, stood in front of the screen and firmly stared at the two places in Anxi and Beiting, knocked on these two places with his fingers and said: "Quanzhou is just a disease of scabies, these places are the places that the empire needs to worry about, and Su Dingfang's lack of qualifications still can't suppress those arrogant generals."
There is a lot of mystery about Loulan, I don't believe that the people of a city-state can disappear for no reason, and if it weren't for the army, I would like to know what is going on. “
Fang Xuanling walked into the main hall, and Duan Hong gave him Yun Ye and Feng An's recitals, and after reading them carefully, Fang Xuanling let out a long sigh.
"See? Yun Ye is still helping Lu Chengqing to speak, obviously he has betrayed the enemy and surrendered, and was killed by Yun Ye at sea, look at what Yun Ye said, Lu Chengqing died in the barracks! Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open? “
"Your Majesty, Lu Chengqing's Duke of Fanyang County was demoted to the Marquis of Fanyang according to the rules, but it was a dignitary of our dynasty, a marquis rebelled and surrendered, he Lu Chengqing didn't want to be embarrassed, regardless of the life and death of his family, Datang still had face, the reason why Yun Ye said this was for the sake of the face of all of us. The old minister thought that pinching his nose and admitting it was the best policy. “
Fang Xuanling has rarely had the sharpness of previous years over the years, and has replaced it with a warm one, and now there is the name of the old prime minister of peace, Fang Xuanling actually smiled and did not explain.
Li Er frowned and looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Although this has a better reputation, it has messed up the law and discipline, and everyone in the court today has lost the enterprising spirit of the previous years." Why? “
Fang Xuanling bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty is a thousand miles away, and the old ministers are dizzying, and now Chang'an City has experienced three population relocations, and the number of long-term residents is still more than one million.
Not to mention anything else, the garbage that is swept out of the city every day needs to be transported day and night by opening a special water gate. There are countless people, all say that it is not easy to live in Chang'an, and now it is even more difficult, the land price of Chang'an changes three times a day, and the government needs to take great pains to arrange accommodation for officials, Your Majesty, you may not know that remote places such as Qujiang are also full of people, and Chang'an County is considering rearranging a fang city there.
Yizhou. Yuezhou, Yangzhou. Jinyang, Luoyang, Mingzhou, Zhuozhou, the population of these cities is also growing rapidly, and the tax contribution of these seven places alone is more than three times that of the whole country in the three years of Zhenguan.
The current position is closed. Xing closed the position, only the king of Jin purchased 100,000 quintals of grain at the beginning of May this year, and the rest were left untouched in the warehouse, and the old minister was very worried that the grain would become moldy.
During the Wude period, the people began to release grain as long as they heard that Chang Ping was in the warehouse. They want to ask for the grain that is about to turn mold at a low price, so that they can take it back to make wine, or feed the livestock, and the people will not go to Changping to buy grain at all, even if it is cheaper than the market, they don't want those old grains.
These things are not only unheard of in the years of his own life, even if he looks through the annals of history, he does not see a single word, the world is rich, the old minister has adhered to the ambition of more than 60 years six years ago, and now every day passes, the old minister thinks that it is earned, so it has become not as rigorous as His Majesty. “
Li Er laughed when he heard this, pointed at Fang Xuanling and said: "No wonder you have to get by now, everyone has thought about a good life, if you don't think about everything in the head, do it in the head, maybe there will be such a tragic thing in Quanzhou, endure it for a few more years, I know that you want to sue the old, and when the younger generation grows up, you will be able to tease your grandson." How is Gao Yang's body now, it's about to give birth, right? “
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and laughed and said: "The day before yesterday, the old minister went to Yushan to invite Sun Daochang to diagnose Gao Yang's pulse, and after Sun Daochang touched the pulse, he said that the princess was in strong health, safe and large, and there was an eighty percent possibility that she was pregnant with a baby boy. ”
Li Er was also overjoyed, Fang Xuanling saw that it was getting late, so he took Yun Ye's recital and planned to leave, and carefully asked Li Er how to deal with Lu Chengqing's case.
"Dismissal, dismissal, seven families!" This is the answer given by Li Er, Fang Xuanling nodded, Li Er is already an extrajudicial benevolence, the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji, and the seven of them are in a catastrophe this time, and they must be notified as soon as possible, since these seven families knew that Quanzhou and Lingnan sailors were broken, they were in a panic, hiding at home and waiting for the angel to come to the door. According to Liu Hongji's temperament, he may have already begun to kill his favorite concubine at this time.
Fang Xuanling walked out of the palace gate, and Du Ruhui and Yigan Xungui surrounded the old house and asked how to deal with Liu Hongji and the others this time.
Fang Xuanling said to Liu Hongji's eldest son: "The friend you made is right, Yun Ye's recital said that Lu Chengqing was killed in battle, and there was no mention of his surrender to the pirates, so His Majesty's disposition of your family is to seize the lord and dismiss the official, which is already a good result, and the official is dismissed, without the title, there is still a chance for people, but the people of Quanzhou suffered this because of the result of your playing with power, and Quanzhou's pacification naturally needs you to come out, although Yun Ye can't bear to see your blood flowing, You know how much anger you have in your heart. “
Liu Zhengwu sat down on the ground softly, wiped a handful of tears and said to Fang Xuanling: "The Liu family is ashamed of my brother, the little nephew will go south tomorrow and personally go to apologize to the people of Quanzhou, and thank Brother Yun for his grace not to kill." “
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, got into his own carriage with his hands behind his back, and said to the eldest grandson Shunde in the carriage: "Hear? It's all your sins, you don't have the ability to catch dragons, what are you doing to slay dragons? I didn't dare to meddle in Yun Ye's affairs at sea, why. It's because I'm not familiar with it, I've made a little money in the past few years, and my heart has been blinded by money, Uncle Clan, I don't understand, how dare you meddle in Lingnan affairs? The queen has an industry there, the prince has an industry there, and the king of Wei still has an industry there, plus a Yun Ye, you are really pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth. “
The eldest grandson Shunde had already been reprimanded countless times by his junior, and this time he didn't fight back, he suddenly raised his head and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Why does the old man always think that this matter was arranged by Yun Ye, maybe the female pirate has long been his person, this time with the help of the female pirate's power, he defeated the seven of our families in one fell swoop, what a good means." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled shamefully: "If Yun Ye has such a ability, I admire the five-body throwing to the ground, why, you are still not convinced?" Are you going to go to him again to wrestle your wrists? Regardless of whether the female pirate is Yun Ye's person or not, let me ask you, did they let you go this time? You should be grateful if you didn't put you to death, Uncle clan, so let's do it, you won't come to the door of my house again in the future, with relatives like you, the eldest grandson Wuji can't sleep steadily. ”
Li Er looked at the dense noble signs on the wall in the dormitory, and instructed the eunuch to take off these signs of Kui Guogong, there was some space on the wall, Li Er felt that it looked much more pleasing to the eye, and returned to the front hall after admiring it for a while.
Seeing that the eldest grandson was playing chess with Concubine Yin, he stood aside to watch the battle, who thought that the eldest grandson would mess up the chess game and said to Concubine Yin: "I know that you have something to tell Your Majesty, and you are not at ease when you play chess, so I won't disturb you." ”
Concubine Yin took the eldest grandson's hand and said: "This matter also needs your approval, the concubine body just wants to tell His Majesty Xià and you about You'er's marriage, this child has to keep filial piety in front of the emperor's spirit for three years, and now a year has passed, the concubine body just wants to ask, really want to keep it for three years?" ”
Before the eldest grandson could speak, Li Er smiled and said: "This is inevitable, since You'er has made a vow, you must do it, I know that you are worried about the marriage of Yunya and You'er, it doesn't matter, they have time to wait, and you still need to wait for two years if you want to hold your grandson." Besides, Yun Ye may not have time in the past few years, and when he comes back from Lingnan, he will go to Beiting, which has been arranged a long time ago, and if You'er wants a grand wedding, he must stay up for a long time. ”
Seeing that Li Er had already made a decision, Concubine Yin no longer insisted on respectfully retiring, leaving the empty hall to the emperor and queen.
"Your Majesty really wants to take all these seven families? Liu Hongji, eldest grandson Shunde, Tang Jing'an, these people can be regarded as meritorious heroes, but the mistake made this time is too big, Yun Ye deliberately concealed it, should the concubine go to a letter to blame? ”
"No need, killing people is not the only choice of an emperor, now not only Liu Hongji, the eldest grandson Shunde and these people have fallen behind, even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui These old ministers can't keep up with my pace, after a few years, when the young people have been trained, these old ministers should also live for a long time, I really want them to get a good death, and our monarchs and ministers will become models for eternity."
The eldest grandson shut up and said nothing, pointing his finger in the direction where Concubine Yin left, just looking at Li Er and laughing.
"Don't laugh at Concubine Yin's little thoughts, this must be Yun Ya's stupid girl asking Concubine Yin to ask, Yun Ye's arrangement has already been decided, and now suing him is to let him be prepared. In fact, Yun Ye seemed to want to go to Beiting more than anyone else, and I had always wondered why he had a soft spot for that land. (To be continued......)
