Shangguan Tingzhi did indeed do a very fatal thing.
Even with Li Qinzai's current status, he did not dare to tell Li Zhi about this matter easily because it was too sensitive and involved too many royal families, officials and aristocratic families. If he was not careful, he would become the target of public criticism. Looking at the world at that time,
enemy.
Li Qinzai didn't expect Shangguan Tingzhi to be so talented. He didn't know whether to praise him for his natural justice or for his lack of heart.
Can such a fatal thing be mentioned openly in a memorial?
If you really think that all civil and military officials in the dynasty are gentlemen, it doesn't matter if you are wrong.
If their interests are involved, they are sworn enemies. Those with vested interests would like to kill your whole family.
It is the most fundamental reason for land annexation, stubborn diseases that cannot be cured in the past dynasties, decline of dynasties, and changes in dynasties.
For thousands of years in China, countless good ministers and ministers have racked their brains to solve the problem of land annexation. However, no matter how hard they tried, the best result was to slow down the speed of land annexation and allow the dynasty to survive for tens or even hundreds of years.
.
The result of the annexation of land by the powerful will definitely lead to the decline of the dynasty. The refugees who cannot survive will rise up and overthrow the powerful and landlords who have occupied large amounts of land.
After the change of dynasties, new interest classes emerged, and the people of the world temporarily obtained land. However, a new round of land annexation gradually began...
History is just such a strange circle one after another. These strange circles repeat themselves over and over again. China has thousands of years of history and has produced so many sages and wise kings. Don’t they know the dangers of land annexation?
Of course they knew it, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Because this is the interest of the entire class, even the supreme emperor does not dare to touch it easily. Once the vested interests notice that someone is going to attack them, they will fight back crazily and tear the person who touches their interests into pieces. The emperor will also
No exception.
Li Qinzai was very clear about the history of his previous life. The decline of the Tang Dynasty was initially due to the decline of the Fubing system. The root cause of the decline of the Fubing system was still due to land annexation.
Fighting for the country, guarding the borders for the country, and finally returning home after retiring, they find that their land is gone and has been forcibly bought or occupied by the powerful through various legal or illegal means. Who is still willing to be a soldier?
Go to the battlefield and fight to the death for this group of enemies who have invaded your land?
Most of the government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were hereditary from farmers, passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. The basic premise for them to be government soldiers was that they were farmers.
If the land is gone and farmers become refugees, wandering around with their families, where will the imperial government gather the soldiers?
This was the fundamental reason for the decline of the Tang Dynasty's military system.
Later, the Tang Dynasty changed the military system to a recruitment system. Soldiers were still soldiers, but their motivation to fight on the battlefield was no longer to earn Yongye fields for themselves, but purely to serve as soldiers and eat food. How much combat power could such soldiers have?
The fortunes of the Tang Dynasty were gradually declining, and the feudal lords and governors supported their own troops. The most dazzling dynasty in history could not escape the fate of being exiled.
Unfortunately, historically, the problems of land annexation and the decline of the military system in the Tang Dynasty started with Li Zhi and Empress Wu.
Li Qinzai thought that these problems would gradually surface until he reached middle age, but he did not expect that Shangguan Tingzhi had already discovered the dangerous signs.
Now Li Qinzai finally understood why his father said he couldn't help Shangguan Tingzhi.
We really can't help because Shangguan Tingzhi has stirred up a hornet's nest.
This kind of thing cannot be mentioned on the stage. The civil and military officials in the court are not clean. As long as they become officials, they will use various means to buy private land and farmland.
Including Cui Jie, when Li Qinzai was in Goguryeo, he cooperated with Xue Ne and received dividends, and Cui Jie spent most of it to buy land.
Not only Weinan County, not only Ganjingzhuang, Cui Jie proudly told him that she had spent money to buy a lot of land near several prefectures and counties in Guanzhong.
If Li Qinzai's own family is like this, you can imagine how serious it is for other officials and powerful families.
Shangguan Tingzhi openly went to court and raised the issue of land annexation. The matter was indeed serious. This memorial made him countless enemies in vain.
If you want to save Shangguan Tingzhi, how can you save her? Passing a rope is just as easy.
Yesterday I heard from the son of Xunyang Marquis that Shangguan Tingzhi might be transferred out of Chang'an and appointed governor of Qizhou. Now that Li Qinzai thinks about it, I'm afraid things are not that simple.
Someone has murderous intentions towards Shangguan Tingzhi. He cannot be eliminated in Chang'an City because the impact is too great. But if he is transferred out of the capital and arrives in Qizhou, there may be many deadly traps waiting for him.
It's not necessarily an assassination, but more importantly, an indefensible frame-up.
What did Wei Xiaobao do in Prince Pingxi's Mansion?
Digging a hole in the ground and burying the golden sword and jade seal, Wu Sangui was so frightened that he almost hanged himself.
The same is true for Shangguan Tingzhi. It's hard to say whether others will use such a despicable method to deal with him. As long as he is charged with an indefensible crime and reported to Chang'an, Shangguan Tingzhi's life will be handed over to him, as will the entire Shangguan family.
Everyone will be involved.
After thinking about this, Li Qinzai sighed, Shangguan Wan'er's father was going to explode.
If it gets serious, Li Qinzai's future daughter-in-law may explode.
Looking at Li Qinzai's troubled face, Li Siwen snorted coldly: "Now, do you still want to save Shangguan Tingzhi?"
Li Qinzai sighed: "I want to, but I don't dare to save him."
"Can you afford to offend the powerful and the landowners?"
Li Qinzai's expression became increasingly bitter: "To be honest... I can't afford to offend a child."
Li Siwen sneered: "You have been jumping up and down all these years, but there are people you can't afford to offend."
Li Qinzai sighed: "In the final analysis, the child's wings are not strong enough."
It's true that he can't be offended, and the time traveler is not so awesome that he doesn't care about being enemies with everyone in the world.
Li Siwen hummed, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Qinzai, I know that you have grown up, are capable, and have your own opinions, but I advise you not to get involved in this matter. It is too dangerous.
Be careful, my entire Li family will be destroyed."
"The issue of land annexation had already begun to appear as early as the Zhenguan period. Most of the kings and ministers in the court turned a blind eye. The emperor also knew the dangers of land annexation, but he really had no way to solve it. He could only decree that Shangguan Tingzhi should be removed.
His memorials were sealed, apparently to protect him."
"As everyone knows, there is no airtight wall in the world. From the moment Shangguan Tingzhi's memorial was submitted to the Minister, it could no longer be concealed."
Li Qinzai thought carefully for a long time and had to admit that he really did not have the ability to solve such a big problem now.
Thousands of years of good ministers and ministers have not been able to solve the problem, so why can a time traveler solve it? In his previous life, this time traveler was just a social animal sitting in an office, not working hard and not distinguishing grain. How could he have the ability to solve the problem of land annexation?
