When Li Yuan saw Li Shentong, Zhang Pinggao and others all nodded, agreeing with Pei Ju's statement, and then let Zheng go.
"Then let them go..."
Li Yuan's tone was very unkind, and his expression continued to be tense, as if he was reluctant to let Zheng go.
Seeing this, Pei Ju hurriedly said, "Although the Zheng family did not know about Zheng Shanyi's affairs, the Zheng family is also responsible for teaching unfavorably. How about asking the Zheng family to donate some food to relieve the food shortage of the people in the capital.
?”
The other people in the palace, especially the military ministers, had interesting expressions when they heard this.
If others don't know whether the people in Dugi Province are short of food, how can they know?
Since Dugi Province experienced several military disasters, the number of Dingkou in the territory has dropped sharply to an extremely low number. In order to restore vitality to the local area as soon as possible, the former Qin Prince's Palace and the imperial court have done a lot of work.
The local people were also allocated a lot of land.
During the previous campaign against Liu Heitai, Li Shimin had some policy preferences for Duji Province, and Li Yuanji also contributed to the people's livelihood in Duji Province.
The imperial court also resettled all the refugees from Hebei Road to Duji Road, so that every family had a house to live in and every family had land to rely on.
Coupled with the fact that the weather has been good in Tōki Province in recent years, it can be said that Tōki Province has achieved very rich harvests in the past two years.
Nowadays, the food in Duji Province can not only meet the needs of Duji Road, but also supply part of the food needed by Chang'an City.
In addition, in order to communicate the goods from Chang'an to Dizhou and the goods from Chang'an to Yangzhou, the water transport yamen also built a huge transfer terminal and huge warehouse in Luoyang, Duji Province.
As a result, Duji Road now has not only no shortage of food, but also no shortage of various cheap goods.
It can be said that if Chang'an was not the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an's living standard and convenience would not be as good as Luoyang.
This shows how well developed the metropolitan area is.
Therefore, it is sheer nonsense to say that there is a shortage of food in Tugi Province.
The reason why Pei Ju said this was purely because he saw Li Yuan's reluctance. In order to prevent Li Yuan from always thinking about Zheng, he gave Li Yuan a step up and gave Zheng a way to relieve Li Yuan's feelings towards Zheng.
Opportunity to tie up.
Logically speaking, Pei Ju, a person born in the Pei family, has no marriage relationship with the Zheng family. It is really intriguing that he spares no effort to help the Zheng family.
However, Pei Ju had actually given him the chance, and Li Yuan knew that this incident alone was not enough to win over the Zheng family, so he happily agreed to the method of 'atonement' that Pei Ju said.
"Since Pei Qing has said so, I will give Pei Qing such face. Let this matter be over and there will be no need to mention it again in the future."
Li Yuan looked like he was giving a lot of face and spoke openly.
Pei Ju bowed with tears in his eyes and said, "Thank you, saint, for your love."
Between this singing and the singing, the matter is completely over.
However, Li Yuan only said that there was no need to mention this matter in the future, but he did not say that he would not find other excuses to deal with Zheng in the future.
This time, Li Yuan gave enough face to Pei Ju and other veterans, and also gave enough face to the spokesman of the wealthy family in the court. Next time, if something happens, Li Yuan will have an excuse not to give face.
It can be said that Li Yuan's plans against the Zheng family are interconnected.
As long as Mrs. Zheng bites Zhang Liang's bait, Mrs. Zheng will completely become his meal.
The specific thing depends on whether Zheng can take Zhang Liang's bait.
However, Li Yuanji estimated that Zheng was most likely to bite the bait.
After all, no matter how you say it, the Zheng family is from a wealthy family, and before that, it was a very important nobleman in the court.
Although he is now in a state of decline, it is not something that Zhang Liang, a small prince, can step on.
Therefore, the Zheng family suffered a big loss in the court this time, lost a lot of face, and almost offended all Wu Xun and Li Yuan. No matter what they said, they would never get it back from Zhang Liang.
Otherwise, how will the Zheng family gain a foothold in the wealthy family in the future, and who will be afraid of him?
Therefore, the bait given by Li Yuan to the Zheng family is necessary, and the Zheng family will definitely become Li Yuan's meal.
Li Yuan himself acted as if he had not planned this matter. After dealing with Zheng Shanyi and letting Zhang Shenwei go, he ordered the musicians and dancers in the palace to continue playing music and dancing.
The hall once again entered a state of chaotic dancing with demons.
Everyone in the hall celebrated again.
Looking at the bright and heartfelt smiles on everyone's faces, it was as if nothing had happened before.
This chaotic dance of demons lasted all night.
During this period, many people twisted their feet, many twisted their waists, and many people secretly escaped by carrying the maids or dancers in the palace.
According to Liu Junyi's final statistics, more than 200 palace maidens and dancers were carried away from the New Year's Eve banquet.
When Liu Jun reported this number to Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji was confused.
"What did you say?"
In the Zhaode Hall, Li Yuanji, who had just woken up and arrived at the Zhaode Hall, looked confused after hearing Liu Jun's report.
Liu Jun bowed and repeated in a low voice: "Back to Your Highness, for this New Year's Eve banquet, there are more than 200 maidens and dancers missing in the palace..."
The specific details of Liu Jun were listed in a booklet and handed to the table.
Although the civil servants and generals carried people secretly, they could not hide it from the eyes and ears of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when carrying people in the palace.
So the palace maid and the dancer were carried away by the civil and military officials, and the eunuchs who happened to be in the Tai Chi Palace made records.
After carefully reading the records, Li Yuanji said in astonishment: "My uncle Wang carried two of them away at once?"
Can he bear it?!
Liu Jun couldn't help but laugh and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Huai'an has been very restrained this year. In previous years, he would always carry away four or five."
Li Yuanji resisted the urge to ask Li Shentong if he could bear it, and complained: "She is really old-hearted..."
Liu Jun said with a cheerful smile: "Who says it's not the case? Only Duke Pei and Duke Qu Tu took one away."
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say at all.
With the way the old officials of the Tang Dynasty behaved, they would die in a woman's belly sooner or later.
Pei Ju and Qu Tutong, one is over seventy years old and the other is almost seventy years old, they are still carrying those fifteen or sixteen year old girls in the palace, and they are still thinking about the pear blossoms weighing down the begonias, and they are not afraid that their bodies will not be able to carry them.
Die in bed.
This means that in the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was relatively open, and meat and vegetables were not tabooed.
If this had been the case in the Ming Dynasty, before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Ma Dajiao would have gone to each house with a knife to ask for the crime.
We are all adults and decent people, and we don’t have such unlimited limits.
"Whatever we did in previous years, let's do it this year."
After being silent for a while, Li Yuanji said speechlessly.
This kind of atmosphere has been cultivated by Li Yuan. If he wants to change it, it cannot be changed in a short while.
but……
"What do those eunuchs mean?"
At the end of the record, Li Yuanji saw several people carrying away several eunuchs.
The court of the Tang Dynasty was full of men. It is reasonable to think that they are so beautiful, but what does it mean to carry away eunuchs?
That's a man!
Although incomplete, he is still a man!
When Liu Jun heard this, he was a little embarrassed and hesitantly said: "Maybe it has another magical effect..."
He could only say so much.
There were some things he couldn't say clearly in front of Li Yuanji.
But Li Yuanji fully understood what he meant, frowned slightly and said: "This unhealthy trend must be curbed! Send someone to tell them to return the person to me before dark, otherwise I will go to their house in person to demand it.
people!"
Li Yuanji doesn't like people who have special hobbies and masculine tendencies, but he won't stop them by force.
But this kind of trend is not worth promoting.
Because for a group of powerful and wealthy people, once they develop this kind of trend or encourage this kind of trend, they will attack children.
Li Chengqian in history was ruined by this.
This is teaching the next generation of the Tang Dynasty bad, persecuting the next generation of the Tang Dynasty, and hindering the population growth of the Tang Dynasty.
Most importantly, this kind of thing is also against humanity.
Therefore, they must be suppressed, banned, and alarm bells must be sounded to them from time to time.
A good boy who will contribute to the country in the future is sold by you, subjected to all kinds of inhuman torture, and finally trained into a good man's plaything. Isn't this inhumane?
Moreover, there is a strong sense of comparison among the powerful.
Your family has it, but mine doesn’t, so I will definitely find a way to have it.
Under such circumstances, once this trend arises, it cannot be contained.
Therefore, this unhealthy trend must be curbed in advance.
"ah?!"
Liu Jun was obviously a little surprised by this. After shouting in surprise, his face was blank.
Li Yuanji glared at Liu Jun and said, "Ah what? If you are told to go, just go!"
Liu Jun hesitated and said: "But...since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no precedent for anyone who was carried away during the New Year's Eve banquet to come back?"
Li Yuanji snorted coldly: "If there is no such precedent, I will set this precedent. They can just take away those palace ladies and dancers. What are they doing taking away those eunuchs?"
Serve them?
Do they have the qualifications?"
When Liu Jun heard this, he understood why Li Yuanji wanted to get the person back.
He felt that Li Yuanji felt that these people had gone too far.
Although his understanding is very different from Li Yuanji's original intention.
But this did not prevent him from understanding Li Yuanji's orders and implementing them.
"I understand, I will take care of it immediately."
Liu Jun didn't say any more, nor did he show any sloppiness. After bowing and bowing, he exited Zhaode Hall.
The royal family has the final right of interpretation on the matter of whether or not it should be exceeded.
If there is something in the etiquette and law, the royal family can let it go.
Even if the etiquette does not exist, the royal family can make it exist.
The royal family does not need others to think it, it only needs to feel that it has been transgressed and is qualified to set the rules for transgressing. Then it can be said that you have transgressed according to these rules.
So when it comes to things like transcendence, Liu Jun won't even stumble.
Liu Jun was very efficient and brought the person back in the evening.
However, Li Yuanji had no time to take care of it, because the stubborn Liang Shidu actually took the initiative to attack the Turks while the Turks were sleeping in winter in the cold weather.
