The fifty-eighth chapter of the fate of Hou Junji (4)
The hall immediately became quiet. No one echoed Li Zhi's words, because he said this from the perspective of a son. It can be said to be a personal relationship. Li Er raised his head and waved Li Zhi to step back, and said to Dai Zhou
: "The crimes committed by Mr. Hou will not be pardoned. Let them be dealt with according to the law. The rest of the people will be sent to the misty land of Lingnan. If they are not pardoned, they will never be able to return home."
"Your Majesty's benevolent heart will shine forever, and I congratulate your Majesty!" After Li Er's verdict, even Yun Ye, who had a prejudice against Li Er, shouted this sentence with all his heart, let alone communicated with tears.
Qin Qiong et al.
For the first time, Li Er silently left the Dragon Throne without saying he was resigning from the court, with a sad look on his face. Cheng Yaojin pulled Yun Ye and pointed at Li Er, asking him to stay with Li Er to comfort the sad emperor. They also
I want to go to Caishikou to deliver Hou Junji.
Fifty kilograms of armor was very heavy, and Li Er walked far away. He actually didn't go to the Queen, but went to the Martial Arts Hall alone. It was annoying that Li Zhi had to pull Yun Ye's armor and ask questions here and there.
"Brother-in-law, why are you going to the martial arts hall? My father must be practicing martial arts now. If you go there, you are just looking for a beating. Why don't we go to Qing Que? It's more interesting to go to him. Do you know that Qing Que?
Brother Que gave me all the business in Jinyang, and I just want to ask you how to do business."
This is why Sima Zhao deceived Li Tai after everyone knew it, and now he deceives Yun Ye. This guy can't let anyone who can deceive him go.
"My family doesn't have much business in Jinyang, and it won't be much if I give it all to you. If you can persuade your eldest sister to open a low tax rate with you in Jinyang, you will earn more. Your Majesty is in a bad mood. I am actually a gift from those old guys.
The punching bag that comes up, do you understand?"
Li Zhi was a little disappointed, but Zhang Jianzhi who was accompanying him was very happy. Seeing Yun Ye walking away, he quickly took Li Zhi's hand and said: "Your Highness, hurry up and write a letter to His Highness An Lan and send this matter
If the matter is serious, just write that Marquis Yun has agreed to a low-tax system between Yongzhou and Jinyang. Without the tax threshold, goods will be much cheaper. We in Jinyang don’t have anything good shipped to Yongzhou, but Yongzhou
But good things can be continuously transported to Jinyang. We don’t receive any tax in the first place. With the benefit of low tax rate, Jinyang will soon become a transshipment place for goods from the northwest and the south. One in and one out, hehe
·What a bargain. It’s much better than what you paid for it.”
Li Zhi thought about it and suddenly became enlightened. He raised his head and said to Zhang Jianzhi: "I didn't mention Yun Hou in the letter and only called me brother-in-law. Do you think my sister will be happier?"
"This is certain. You pleaded for Hou Junji in the court today. Duke Yi, Duke Lu, and Duke Langya must be very grateful to you. These three families are also big benefactors and cannot be let go. You are young now. Important points
No one will tell you the good thing. This method won’t work in a few years. We must seize the money while we are still young."
Li Zhi was happy, but Yun Ye was in pain. When they entered the martial arts hall, Li Er threw a handful of horseshoes over. Yan Song was already lying on the ground. Li Er held a shield in one hand and grabbed a handful in the other.
The flail and the hammer at the end of the chain are as big as a fist. Just look at Yan Song's dented armor and you will know how ruthless Li Er is. Now Li Er is shaking the flail and staring at Yun Ye fiercely through the gap on the shield.
.
Yun Ye hugged the horse and hid behind the weapons rack, saying nothing. Li Er said angrily: "You all came here to plead for Hou Junji today. I have fulfilled your wish, and now I will beat you."
A few times discouraged."
"No, I'm not your opponent. What if you miss and hit me to death with a hammer? Hou Junji's matter doesn't count. He was your brother back then. The harder you deal with him, the more miserable you will be.
, I only owe Hou Junji a favor, but I don’t owe him my life. There is no need to pay for it with my own life. "
The words of the former brothers struck a chord with Li Er. He threw away the shield and flail in his hands with a long sigh, took off his armor, stood outside the palace gate in his middle coat and looked in the direction of the market entrance. There was a sound coming from far away.
Three drums sounded, and it was already three quarters of noon. Hou Junji should have died by then.
"Why?" Li Er asked Yun Ye confusedly.
"What else could be the reason? Merits and official positions are constantly increasing, but the cultivation and morality that match them have not kept up. This situation is inevitable. Although it is regrettable, it does not harm your Majesty's benevolence. He is seeking death.
Lu, who can save him? The generals of the Tang Dynasty only plan to settle his wife and children, no one wants to save him. There must be an explanation for the casualties of more than a thousand soldiers. If they rebel, everyone can save their lives.
Let's just go and rebel. No matter from the perspective of national law or human sentiment, Hou Junji must die. If he doesn't die, he will be a great harm to the country."
Li Er nodded to express his approval of Yun Ye's words. He punched the door frame and asked Yun Ye: "I am upset now. How can I calm down?"
Yun Ye spent a long time before taking off his armor and said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, why not get drunk and treat it as a memorial to an old friend. According to Wei Chen's experience, if it can be paired with corresponding delicacies, his mood will definitely be better.
Get better."
"That's fine. I'm not in the mood to deal with government affairs right now. I'll just watch you cook."
When the emperor arrived at the imperial dining room, the cook was almost scared to death, but after seeing Yun Ye, he was relieved. Li Er looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and pointed to a huge fat-headed fish and said to Yun Ye: "
I get angry when I see this big head, so that’s it.”
This means eating the fish head with chopped pepper. This fish is quite unlucky. Although it looks nothing like Hou Junji, Li Er is angry with it. A fish weighing more than 20 kilograms has such a big head for nothing.
do what.
The fish head with chopped pepper is very simple to make. Yun Ye specially asked the cook to clean the fish, chop it with half of the fish body, and then divide it into two halves. Then he marinated it with cooking wine, salt, and peppercorns, and stayed away by himself.
Ask the fat cook to chop the pickled red pepper into fine pieces as much as possible, and then cut the ginger into shreds.
In fact, there were not many places where Yun Ye needed to take action. Seeing the fish heads being put into the steamer, Yun Ye glanced at Li Er secretly. The emperor felt as lost as an ordinary person. Yan Song came back to life limping.
Following Li Er who kept pacing, the sycamore trees looked very beautiful in the summer, but in late autumn they were not very poetic. The large leaves fell loudly, and soon a thick layer fell under their feet.
Combined with Li Er's frown, it looked particularly desolate.
Li Er is arrogant, so arrogant that he doesn't want to be cooked by lackeys. Compared with those ministers, his age has a great advantage. He believes that he will be able to firmly control those arrogant people in his lifetime.
Although he underestimated Hou Junji's inflated desires, he reached the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Duke of Chen without any hindrance. There was no possibility of further advancement. Maybe Hou Junji himself thought that the only option was to rebel.
This is the path.
Li Er came to the steamer and looked at the white steam coming out of the big pot. He tested it with his hand and said to Yun Ye, "How are you going to arrange the three of Hou Jie?"
Li Er has woken up and is now starting to think about the subsequent development of the matter, such as hidden worries such as Hou Jie's revenge.
"I'm afraid it's unlikely that they want to go ashore. The families of Xiao Yan, Pei Zhong, and Han De will not let them go. This is already a private feud. The women and children will be arranged by Wei Chen in the Meng family village, where a woman belongs
In this world, elders and women have the final say on everything. Women will not suffer or be looked down upon if they go there. The most important thing is that it is a paradise, and life in seclusion is good. After all, the Hou family was assigned by the law of the Tang Dynasty.
Those who come to Lingnan should not think about the wealthy life. From now on, they will just farm, study and pass down family traditions. Hou Jie and others will wander on the sea for the rest of their lives, otherwise the ghosts of more than a thousand soldiers will be uneasy. "
This arrangement was not made on a whim by Yun Ye. It was an agreement reached after the generals reached an understanding with the Xiao family, Pei family, and Han family. Otherwise, the three families would cry today. Yun Ye did not hide these things at all.
I told Li Er.
Li Er nodded. He was quite satisfied with this arrangement. Hatred is far more intense than other emotions. If Jiangmen had not reached an agreement with those families, there would never be such a result today.
Yun Ye opened the steamer, and there was a huge plate containing the fish head. It was red! It looked very good. Li Er thought it was cooked and planned to try it, but he saw Yun Ye holding a large pot of cooked fish.
Tea oil was poured on the fish head, and a strong aroma immediately rose into the air. The fresh aroma of chili was immediately brought out by the pot of hot oil.
Li Er walked in front, and Yun Ye and Yan Song followed behind carrying a large plate. When they came to a quiet room, Li Er asked Yun Ye and Yan Song to go out, closed the door, took out a jar of wine from the corner, and put it in first
He poured some on the ground, took a big sip, and started talking to Hou Junji's ghost.
Yan Song led Yun Ye far away and came to the foot of a big tree. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has a knot in his heart. Yan Song, a rough man, doesn't have the clever mind of Marquis Yun, let alone the good ability to change teeth."
, His Majesty has calmed down now, Yan Song thanked him. "
Yun Ye smiled and didn't answer. He was just surprised where his eldest grandson had gone. He hadn't seen anyone from her all day. It stands to reason that the eldest grandson should be accompanying Li Er at this time, but there were too many royal taboos and it was hard for him to find out.
, I said goodbye to Yan Song and planned to go home. I should go to Hou Junji’s funeral anyway.
Li Chengqian appeared at the gate of the palace, apparently waiting for Yun Ye. He had a small piece of linen tied on his shoulder as a token of mourning for Hou Junji. His eyes were red and he looked haggard.
"It's none of your business. Hou Junji is very ambitious. Who knows what he might do. I will help you put your incense stick. The person you should be looking for now is your father, not your rebellious father-in-law.
You should be able to distinguish between big things and small things."
After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian hurried out of the palace without waiting for anything else to say. The Hou family's affairs had already been arranged, and there was no benefit to Li Chengqian joining in.
