Section 16 Charcoal Seller

The banks of the Dongyang River are as silky as willows, with soft grass swaying in the wind on both sides. April is the most beautiful time in Yushan. Every morning, Yun Ye and four old gentlemen would stroll along the river, exchanging ideas about their daily lives.

s arrangement.

"His Majesty has ordered you to attend the meeting tomorrow. Are you ready?"

Li Gang walked in front with his hands behind his back, asking Yun Ye behind him as he walked.

"What are you preparing for? Since I dare to do it, I'm not afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble." Yun Ye said with an indifferent expression.

"You led more than 40 cavalry across the countryside and showed no respect for the king's law. This is a serious crime. Now you don't know how to repent. I don't know what kind of disputes there will be in the court." Li Gang said seriously, with a look on his face.

A calm demeanor.

"Sir, if you were asked to handle this matter, what would you do?"

"Fifty years ago, I would have broken his legs. Forty years ago, I would have killed him. Thirty years ago, I would have asked the government to intervene. Twenty years ago, I would have argued with Chen Shuda. Now,

I will let you handle this matter." Lao Li's words attracted laughter from the other three old gentlemen.

"Youth is the happiest when you do things. You don't have to think about the consequences so much. The longer you live, the more timid you become. If you think about it carefully, the decisions you make when you are young are not necessarily wrong. When you are old, you will go around in a big circle, but in the end you are not going to do it.

Back to the starting point, Xiao Yezi does things that are not to my liking." Mr. Yushan is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

"It's easy to get things done, but it's not easy to end. With Chen Shuda's complaint, you can't escape the charge of instigating a servant to commit murder. What happened to the old charcoal seller in your village now? If I hadn't gotten up that day and swam alone in the river.

, the old man’s life or death is uncertain.”

"Hmph! A load of charcoal, more than a thousand kilograms, half a horse of red silk and a foot of silk, tied to the cow's head to fill it with charcoal. This damn guy, the old man's hard work all winter, was robbed by him, and he also injured the old man, causing him great harm.

The whole family has no livelihood. We didn't have a grain of rice until spring, and now we are looking for death and survival. I regret not breaking his legs now." Yun Ye was still angry with himself.

"Huh? Boy, your literary talent is quite good. Those two sentences just now are somewhat meaningful." Mr. Yuan Zhang likes sentences and doesn't pity people.

"There is nothing to worry about. An evil businessman is running rampant in the countryside with the support of someone. What's the big deal if Xiao Yezi breaks a leg? Chen Shuda is suing. I estimate that the evil businessman will probably die." Mr. Li Shi still cherished the words.

gold.

Four old people and a young man immediately looked at each other and smiled. Yun Ye shook his head. There are really people in this world who are as stupid as pigs.

"Boy, I wonder why you didn't use this excuse, but used the arrogant method of not giving you tea. Don't tell me that you can't afford to embarrass that person." Mr. Yushan asked strangely.

"If you look at what happened to the businessman who was caught between Chen Shuda and me, you will understand why this junior has to leave that old man and his family alone."

Mr. Yushan nodded and said to him seriously: "I find that I like you more and more."

The other three gentlemen also looked cheerful.

It's disgusting, this is Yun Ye's inner evaluation.

The old grandma is very worried about her grandson. The day before yesterday, her grandson took people to the Hu Village in front of him and smashed the house to pieces. He even broke the owner's legs. She didn't know if there would be any trouble. She was just a little curious as to why the grandson wanted to take the tea.

I gave the money to a farmer on my farm, but no one was allowed to ask questions.

Maybe her grandson was angry a few days ago, not because of the tea, but maybe because of something else. If her grandson didn't tell her, it would be hard for her to ask.

The old woman couldn't think clearly for a moment, and then she looked at her two goose-like daughters next to her. They only knew how to eat, and each of them pinched them bitterly. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

The Tai Chi Palace in the morning light is still majestic and tall, but it seems a little strange after not visiting for several months. Lao Cheng and Lao Niu are not among the warriors' team. One of them went to Guyuan and the other to Yunzhong.

Qin Qiong had a worried look on his face. Yuchi Gong patted Yun Ye nonchalantly and praised him for his feats in the past few days. He also said that this was the way to go in the military. It was just a broken leg. If it had been him, the merchant's whole family would have entered the army long ago.

Graves are piled.

No matter who it was, Yun Ye greeted him with a smile, and there was no hint of guilt at all. This made the nobles secretly lament the boldness of young people. Since the publication of "Zhenguan Law", Shandong's wealthy families have been downgraded to three, and the Li family

They are one, and the queen family is two.

At this juncture, every family clamped their tails between their legs and behaved honestly, fearing to offend the emperor and bring disaster to the family. Only this boy acted recklessly. I heard that he went to war just for a few tea trees. More than 40 horses were rampaging through the countryside.

, so arrogant to the extreme, I don’t know how the emperor will deal with him today.

Thinking of this, I unconsciously stayed away from him.

The court hall is still lively, the army is marching out in force, and will arrive at various assembly points in August this year. The Tang Dynasty's military machine is operating at full strength, with grain, horses, weapons, and other complicated matters. By the time they are finished, it will be three hours a day.

The ministers relaxed a little, but they saw Chen Shuda standing up, holding the court in his arms and going to the court: "Your Majesty, at noon on April 13th, more than 40 servants of Lantian Hou Yunye's commander-in-chief invaded the countryside, killing the owner of Huzhuang, Juan

Without giving him the name of tea, he took military weapons, destroyed Huzhuang, and entered the mansion, just like a gangster, and destroyed a family, just like a thieves. If Huan resisted the slightest, his right leg would be broken, and if his family members were not angry, they would be humiliated.

Dozens of tea trees were destroyed and abandoned, as if these lawless people were in the same court as the minister. The minister was deeply ashamed and regarded them as incompatible with black and white.

I impeach Marquis Yunye of Lantian for running rampant in the countryside, acting unscrupulously, allowing slaves to commit crimes, and treating the laws of the Tang Dynasty as if they were nothing. Now that both human and material evidence are available, I ask your majesty to order you to investigate the crime."

It was very quiet in the court hall, and Chen Shuda's memorial was filled with blood and tears, which made people feel sympathy and pity.

It was strange that the emperor did not speak, Prime Minister Fang Xuanling also closed his eyes and said nothing, Du Ruhui, Minister of War, seemed to be thinking about other things and was absent-minded, and even Wei Zheng, who usually hated evil very much, did not speak.

Chen Shuda felt a little nervous, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He didn't understand why he felt like this.

Qin Qiong stopped thinking about leaving work and planned to take another look. Cheng Yaojin handed Yun Ye over to him before leaving. If something happened, how would he give an explanation to his brothers in life and death? Even if he risked his life today, he would have to give Yun Ye an explanation.

Keep this kid.

Yu Chigong spoke: "Your Majesty, the people in the army are all rough-tempered. When things happen, they are more likely to take action than to think about it. Please see that this kid has little merit and is young, so you can give him a little punishment and let him

It’s just a long memory, and it’s too much to say that the imperial edict should be paid to a responsible person.”

Chen Shuda was shocked. If he let Yun Ye go, he would stop messing around in Chang'an, and all the businessmen attached to his family would leave one after another. How could this make him live a poor life, it would be better to kill him.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the emperor speak: "Boy, what evil are you holding back? Who are you planning to trick again? Chen Shuda? You guys have no grievances in the past and no grievances in recent days, so what?"

As soon as the emperor's words came out, Chen Shuda's face turned pale. This was not a tone of guilt. It was clearly the tone of an elder teasing a younger generation. In this matter, there is always one person who is wrong. If Yun Ye is right, then he is wrong.

Huan said that he and Yun Ye were strangers to each other, and there was no enmity between them. He just didn't give him tea. Could it be that there was something he didn't know about?

The always majestic emperor had a frivolous tone in the court, which surprised all the officials. Yun Ye's holy family was so strong that they had to reassess the status of the Yun family.

Yun Ye came out of work and replied: "The humble minister has a vulgar temperament and has put your Majesty in a difficult position."

"Vulgar? Not necessarily? I have a poem here with concise words, but it is also thought-provoking. You might as well ask Fang Qing to read it to everyone. It will also give you some insight. It turns out that you can write poems like this."

Lao Fang stood up slowly, came to the middle, bowed to the emperor, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, coughed a few times, made his throat comfortable, and then began to read.

The name of this poem is "The charcoal seller, the charcoal seller, cutting firewood to burn charcoal in the southern mountains. His face is dusty and smoky, his temples are gray and his fingers are black. Where can he make money from selling charcoal? He is wearing clothes and eating in his mouth. What a pity that he is wearing only a single dress.

I am worried about the low price of charcoal and wish it would be cold. At night, there is a foot of snow outside the city. At dawn, I drive a charcoal cart over ice tracks. The cows are trapped and the people are hungry. The sun is getting high, so I rest in the mud outside the south gate of the city.

Who is riding Pianpian? A servant from a wealthy family in black clothes. He holds a horizontal knife in his hand and says his life. He returns to the cart and shouts at the cow to lead it to the west. A cart of charcoal weighs more than a thousand kilograms. The rich slaves will not be able to save it. Half a horse of red silk is one foot long.

Ling, tie it to the bull's head and fill it with charcoal."

"How is it? It's a good poem, isn't it? Do you know that my heart ached when I first read this poem? Yun Ye did what I planned to do, what kind of crime do you think he should be punished for?"

Chen Shuda fell to the ground and begged the emperor for forgiveness.

When Yun Ye heard this poem, he knew that something bad was going on. The charges in the court were cleared, and the excitement in the palace would be great soon.

Li Gang, Li Wenji, you killed me. This was Yun Ye's cry from the heart.

Brothers and sisters, I am asking for recommendations on Monday, and Yun Ye is my friend.
