There were officers and soldiers standing outside Zongzheng Temple, all led by the Crown Prince. Li Anyan and his men were guarding the place.
Today, there are three or two people selling braised pork across the street. From the time Zhang Yang entered Zongzheng Temple, few people set foot on the streets here. People who usually pass by have to take a detour for fear of stepping on the gate in front of Zongzheng Temple.
Ye Zi was dragged in and beaten severely.
As everyone else said, when the Marquis of Lishan County came to Chang'an City, he became a fierce god that people could not avoid.
In Zongzheng Temple, Li Yuanjing whispered: "I do have a daughter, and I want to marry the second son of the prime minister."
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Has the prime minister agreed?"
"Not yet. Fang Xuanling has been hesitant about marrying someone from our clan."
Zhang Yang asked again: "Who did the eldest son of the prime minister marry?"
Li Yuanjing said with a straight face: "Fang Yizhi married the Jingzhao Du family, which can be considered a high-ranking noble family. This marriage happened after Fang Xuanling's best friend Du Ruhui passed away. I also hope that Du Ruhui's lineage will not decline easily."
Zhang Yang nodded clearly, "Then King Jing wants to marry his daughter to the son of the prime minister, does he also want to make himself a relative of the high-ranking gentry?"
"Yeah, I've thought about it that way, but this marriage is arranged by my wife at home, and I don't know how the discussion with Fang Xiang is going now."
The atmosphere in Zongzheng Temple was very relaxed, and the conversation between Zhang Yang and Li Yuanjing was also very harmonious. It didn't look like an interrogation at all, but more like chatting about family matters.
After a long time, Zhang Yang stood up and said, "I have other things to do today. King Jing will stay at Zongzheng Temple these days."
"Why?"
"Investigating the case."
Li Yuanjing asked in confusion: "When did Zongzheng Temple start investigating the case?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Not only now, but also in the future."
After that, he asked King Jing to stay temporarily in the backyard, and Zhang Yang left Zongzheng Temple. There were good and bad descendants of the emperor's clan.
In addition to those who are obedient, there are also those who are disobedient, and it is not easy to capture those few.
For the next two days, Li Yuanjing still stayed in Zongzheng Temple and was not allowed to leave.
His wife, Mrs. Pei, has been walking around in various houses in the past two days, but she has not received an accurate answer. They have also kept silent about the deeper meaning of His Majesty's arrangements.
It was when the prince was in charge of the country that his majesty became seriously ill and ignored political affairs.
There was also Zhang Yang who acted so vigorously and resolutely that everyone in the clan in Chang'an City was in panic.
It was raining in Chang'an City today. Mrs. Pei came to the palace gate and wanted to see Queen Changsun.
Standing in front of the door and waiting for no one to reply, Pei became more and more uneasy. She anxiously asked the maid who came back, "Where are the other concubines in the palace?"
The maid replied in a low voice: "It is said that they have been grounded by the queen these days."
Mrs. Pei held her forehead and almost fainted when she heard the news.
Not long after, a figure walked out of the palace gate.
After standing still for a moment, Ms. Pei saw the visitor and saluted, "Your Highness, Princess."
Seeing that it was Princess Changle, all the maids behind her saluted.
Li Lizhi stood in front of the palace gate, looked at Pei who was bowing humbly, and replied: "You don't have to come to see the queen. The queen has been with her father these days and has not seen anyone."
"But that Zhang Yang..."
"Okay." Li Lizhi interrupted: "There's no need to inquire, and there's no need to speculate all day long. What my brother-in-law means is what my father means."
When Princess Changle turned around and went back, Pei's eyes flashed with determination, and she shouted towards the palace gate: "Without Pei, there would be no Tianhan Khan now! You are ungrateful!"
She shouted loudly.
Princess Changle's back paused for a moment, then quickly walked away.
Beside the Taiye Pond in the palace, Li Lizhi told the story.
Li Shimin sighed: "When Pei Ji passed away, I felt guilty, but I gave all the compensation I should give to people of Pei Ji's lineage. No matter what she said, I have a clear conscience."
My father has been in a much better mood these days while he is recuperating from illness.
The queen mother also felt much more relaxed. This was something Li Lizhi felt personally. If she could stay like this, her father's health would definitely get better.
The medical team from Lishan is still consulting on His Majesty’s future treatment plan.
In the Imperial Medical Office, Sun Simiao said: "I still suggest that Your Majesty leave the palace and go to Mount Li for continuous observation. A good life and rest can be suitable for recuperating. Besides, His Majesty's heart and blood pressure have only temporarily stabilized."
It is difficult for other doctors in the Imperial Medical Office to understand the words of these Lishan Medical Clinics. What blood pressure are they talking about? And the reputation of this kind of organ sounds very unfamiliar.
Cui Zhiti knocked on the table lightly, "Everyone, according to His Majesty's past medical records, not only the heart, but other organs are also very weak. Recently, he has reduced the amount of pasta he eats, and the oil and salt cannot be high. Moreover, although the previous medication has stabilized
The condition will be cured, but the medicine will also increase the burden on His Majesty’s body.”
"Mr. Lu?"
Lu Zhaolin stepped forward and responded, "Doctor Cui, just tell me."
Cui Zhiti stroked his beard and said: "In the future, we need to reduce the dosage of the medicine. The medicine should be lighter and the dosage should be smaller. This is the conclusion reached by our team after discussion."
Sun Simiao said: "My team still hopes that Your Majesty can leave the palace. He needs an environment to recuperate, observe and consult at all times, and agree with Dr. Cui's words in terms of medication."
Lu Zhaolin looked troubled, "It's difficult to ask His Majesty to leave the palace. At least I can't do anything. It depends on Zhang Yang's persuasion."
Everyone in Lishan's team took back the brochures in their hands in frustration.
Pei fell seriously ill when he returned. After Li Yuanjing was captured, he was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple.
However, everyone in the clan could not see His Majesty, so they gathered in the East Palace to ask Li Chengqian what he meant.
Facing the questions from these uncles, Li Chengqian said seriously: "Uncles, I will definitely ask Zhang Yang to find out."
"Please also ask the prince to capture Zhang Yang! Foreign relatives have caused harm to the country since ancient times!" Li Yun, the king of Jiang, said loudly: "How can the prince sit back and watch?"
Li Chengqian really didn't want to go to his father at this time, because Zhang Yang's appointment as Minister of Zongzheng Temple was appointed by his father. As for what he asked Zhang Yang to do, and what was his purpose? He didn't know at all.
The East Palace has become noisy, inside Zongzheng Temple at this moment.
Zhang Yang sat calmly in front of King Jing and took the booklet from Li Yifu.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "County Marquis, we have found out that none of these acres were purchased by King Jing."
Hearing this, Li Yuanjing smiled and said: "It turns out that you are here to check on the land. Since it has nothing to do with me, can you please let me leave? My wife has fallen ill."
Zhang Yang changed his sitting position and crossed his legs and said, "I want King Jing to stay here for a little longer."
Li Yuanjing frowned and stood up, "I've been here for five days, what do you want?"
"The people in the clan are still very united. If you take the lead in uniting everyone to deal with me after you go back, how will Zongzheng Temple do anything in the future? So you, the leader, can't go out."
Zhang Yang took a deep breath and added: "Also, although this matter has nothing to do with you, your wife Pei used her prestige to encourage the villagers to transfer their fields to the name of Prince Jing's Mansion, so that they could have less money.
Pay taxes, thereby exempting part of the food estate, and help the villagers avoid taxes?"
Seeing that Li Yuanjing still had an aggrieved look on his face, Zhang Yang added: "First of all, this method is not allowed by the DPRK. Many times, we turn a blind eye, but now I want to say that this method will be used in the future.
It cannot happen again under the supervision of Zongzhengji Temple."
"Moreover, after King Jing obtained these acres of land, he did not return the harvested grain to the villagers, but deducted 50% of it. What a plan." Zhang Yang said happily: "First tell the villagers that the acres of land will be placed in Jing."
In order to help the villagers avoid taxes, you put these acres into your own name, and then the villagers cultivated for a year, but only received 50% of the food, and 50% of the 300 hectares of land was returned to them.
It fell into the hands of King Jing."
"The government strictly prohibits the private sale of land, but your annexation method involves no money exchanges and no documents. However, the field register is in the hands of King Jing. The three hundred hectares of land are not collected by the government. The farmers work for a year, but they receive no taxes.
The harvest that was less than what you deserved went into your pockets, and then you only gave 50% to the villagers."
"The kind and simple villagers have been deceived by you. Do you still have a conscience?"
Li Yuanjing's expression became increasingly uneasy.
Zhang Yang added: "Maybe you can be more restrained in Guanzhong. If you go to other places in the Central Plains, once the field registration falls into your hands, I'm afraid the villagers won't even get a cent. I think you can just follow the minimum requirements for the human body."
Calories to provide food."
"I remember when someone impeached Lishan, saying that Lishan was engaged in business and that in order to pursue greater interests, I could even abandon my conscience and ignore secular ethics. All morality, conscience, and human life could not stop Lishan from being driven by interests.
Now these words are perfect for King Jing."
Minister Zongzheng spoke very calmly, but it was like thorns piercing King Jing's body.
Li Yuanjing said: "I know that I let them use their acres to avoid taxes, but I don't know that Pei has done these things in private."
"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded and said: "She even went to the palace gate to yell and curse, saying how Tian Khan had let down the Pei family. The more she said this, the more guilty she felt. She hurriedly went to the queen to defend herself. She just hoped
The Khan of Heaven can muddle along."
"She knows very well in her heart that once the court finds out about these things, it would be best to blackmail His Majesty and the Queen with favors, so that this matter will go unsolved, and she can even look for opportunities to retaliate against me."
Li Yuanjing stood up and was about to leave, "I'm going to question Mrs. Pei now!"
He had just taken two steps when he was stopped by Li Yifu.
Zhang Yang handed the booklet in his hand to him, "King Jing, take a good look at it. The names on it are not only Pei's, but also your son Li Ze, and even Jiang Wang Li Yuanxiang and Tianshui County Duke Qiu Xinggong.
Don’t you know that Mr. Pei conspired with so many people?”
Li Yuanjing looked at the booklet, and the look of disbelief on his face became even heavier.
A clerk hurriedly ran over and said, "Oh no! County Marquis! There are many people outside with sticks and swords coming towards Zongzheng Temple."
Li Yifu cursed angrily: "Who is so bold!"
"It's King Guo Li Feng and..." The clerk paused for a moment, looked at Li Yuanjing aside, and said again: "And Li Ze."
The booklet in Li Yuanjing's hand fell. He stamped his feet and shouted in pain: "You traitor! You evil woman!"
In the palace at this moment, Li Shimin got the news immediately. He whispered in disappointment, "They can't change their evil temper after all, father! This child can only do this."
The emperor muttered to himself and wrote a decree, "Send the decree to Zongzheng Temple to mobilize the Longwu Army."
"Here."
Outside Zongzheng Temple, vendors and pedestrians on the street fled one after another, and residents also closed their house doors when they saw the menacing group of people.
Li Feng, the king of Guo, held a knife in his hand, pointed at Zongzheng Temple and said: "Someone will demolish Zongzheng Temple for me!"
Li Zedao: "Who does Zhang Yang mean? We are His Majesty's cousins. Even if we are punished afterwards, we will only be demoted from Chang'an City!"
Just when this group of people was about to rush to Zongzheng Temple, Shangguan Yi arrived with soldiers and horses from Jingzhao Mansion. He shouted angrily: "You are so impudent! Do you know where this place is?"
Li Ze said loudly: "Grandpa hit Zongzheng Temple! Go up!"
A group of people rushed up, and Shangguan Yi led the people to face them.
There was chaos outside Zongzheng Temple.
In the official office, Zhang Yang said to Li Yifu: "King Li Yuanxiang of Jiang, King Li Yuanying of Teng, King Li Yun of Jiang, King Li Feng of Guo, Gong Qiu Xinggong of Tianshui County, and Hou Junji, Minister of War, take them all! Go now."
"Here."
Li Yifu responded and led the people away.
When I opened the door of Zongzheng Temple's official office, there was chaos outside, and the fighting was already bloody.
"Kill Grandpa!"
Another group of tribesmen ran out of the street, holding knives and rushing towards Zongzheng Temple.
Li Yifu nodded and said: "This shows that the clan is arrogant..."
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the street, and arrows were fired.
"King Guo, it's bad! Soldiers and horses have entered the city."
Li Feng, the king of Guo, cursed angrily: "Which soldiers and horses are there? How dare you come to ruin this important matter for me!"
"Yes..." The person beside him glanced towards Zhuque Street and said in a panic: "It's Long Wujun!"
"Long Wujun?" Li Feng yelled angrily: "Where did the Longwu Army come from!"
A middle-aged strong man came on horseback and shouted angrily: "Anyone who causes trouble will be captured, but anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"
Li Feng stood out from the crowd and cursed angrily: "Didn't you see me here? You guys are blind..."
Just as he was speaking halfway, an arrow shot into Li Feng's chest.
He was surprised by the arrow that shot into his chest. He looked up and saw Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County. The person who walked up next was Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County.
As Long Wujun joined in, arrows were shot out one after another, many people fell down, and then the fighting stopped.
There were many corpses lying on the street, and the ground was stained red.
Li Feng stood holding the wall, "Brother, Zhang Yang wants to harm us."
Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "You greedy brother, the whole clan has lost all face."
Li Feng supported his body, wondering if he had heard wrongly.
A eunuch sent a decree and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree! King Li Feng of Guo was greedy and violent, causing harm to the officials and the people. He was cruel and unkind. He ran into Zongzheng Temple and slaughtered officials. The country could not tolerate them. He was demoted to common people and sentenced to death. The country was destroyed.
Of."
After hearing the decree, Li Feng finally fell to the ground.
Li Ze was held on the ground by Long Wujun. He said angrily: "Your Majesty! Why do you want to kill your uncle?"
Li Daozong said slowly: "Stop making trouble, do you think His Majesty doesn't know anything because he is recovering from illness?"
