Chapter 2606 Unless I am in the Tang Dynasty, there is something that shakes the government and the opposition
"We have carefully arranged the customs and rules for so many years and gradually formed them. Now His Majesty can easily break them."
"This is so good. Although our aristocratic family has a profound heritage, your Majesty's actions will cause profound harm to our aristocratic family."
"Not only do we lack the means to control those poor people, we also have difficulty controlling our own nephews when they join the officialdom."
"Your Majesty, by doing this, you are simply cutting off the career path of aristocratic families like us."
"The viciousness and ruthlessness of his methods are no less than those of Yang Guang in the previous dynasty."
"Silence, please don't say a word. Now we should think carefully about how to resolve this crisis."
"It would be extremely difficult to break this crisis unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless something big happens in the Tang Dynasty that shocks the government and the public, this change can only be put on hold for the time being."
"..." Someone glanced at the direction of the palace gate with meaningful eyes, finally shook his head, let out a long sigh, and walked away slowly.
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and sat in the palace, reviewing in his mind the performance of today's ministers.
At some point, Empress Changsun arrived at the Wencheng Hall. Seeing her husband's depressed look, she moved closer with heartache.
Soon, only the husband and wife were left in the palace.
After listening to her husband's whisper, Empress Changsun slowly snuggled into her husband's arms for a long time before whispering.
"Husband, no matter what happens, my body is one with my husband."
Li Shimin gently hugged Empress Changsun's shoulders, and after a long time, he let out a breath.
If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Rongzhou in Lingnan Road was the land of Baiyue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the Qin Dynasty, it belonged to Yulin County and was reestablished in Rongzhou. In the second year of Daye, Huangshui was abandoned and Linzang was established.
In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (621), Anxiu County was established, Huangshui County was restored, and Linzang County was restored, all of which came under the jurisdiction of Rongzhou.
There are not many Han people in Rongzhou, and most of them are Yi Liao. In Huangshui County, most of them are Mulao Liao (Mulao ethnic group) among Yi Liao. There are less than a thousand Han households in Huangshui County.
And most of them live in Huangshui County, and there are also many Muloliao residents in Huangshui County.
At this moment, Li Ding, who was dressed as a traveling businessman, and Deng Yong, who was dressed as a guard, were bragging and spanking with a Mulaoliao shopkeeper who knew Han dialect in front of a shop in Huangshui County.
"Shopkeeper, do you still remember Magistrate Wang who was the magistrate here before?"
The shopkeeper who was born in Mulaoliao heard this and nodded. "Hey, you, a foreigner, do you know our Wang Qingtian?"
"Wang Qingtian?" Li Ding looked at the strangely dressed Mulao Liaoren shopkeeper, but he didn't expect that such a Chinese-style adjective would come out of his mouth.
"Of course, he didn't bully us Mulao. He also helped us calm down the troubles in several Mulao villages, and even got us that convenient curved plow..."
Li Ning looked at this talkative Mulao man, and after listening to his story, he nodded frequently and added a few words from time to time.
Before Li Ning's communication ended, he saw a young Magnolia man riding a short horse, surrounded by a dozen or so Magnolia men, heading this way.
.
Li Ning saw the shopkeeper of Mulao Liao hurriedly came forward with a smile on his face, and then spoke something he couldn't understand at all, leaving Li Ning and Deng Yong confused.
The young and luxuriously dressed Mulao Liao man pointed here and said something, and the Mulao Liao shopkeeper hurried over.
His originally smiling expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the two of them warily.
"I said you two foreigners have been asking about our Wang Qingtian for the past two days. Do you have any grudges or enmities with him?"
"How can we have any grudge against the Royal Lord?" Deng Yong interrupted somewhat unhappily.
Li Ning glared at this guy and smiled at the shopkeeper.
"The shopkeeper has misunderstood. Both of our brothers are named Wang and are related to your Magistrate Wang."
"It's just that we have been doing business outside these years, and we happened to be here this time. We just want to find out about our relative?"
"Are you all relatives of Wang Qingtian?" The shopkeeper looked at the two of them suspiciously, as if he was not sure.
At this time, a more fluent Guanzhong dialect voice spoke.
"Since you say you are Wang Qingtian's relative, let me ask you, do you know where Wang Qingtian is from and who is in his family?"
When Li Ning raised his head, he noticed that the person speaking this time was the young official in rich robes.
He saluted the other party with a smile and responded calmly. After all, they came to inquire about Wang Xuance's situation under His Majesty's secret order. How could they not understand the other party's situation.
After hearing what the Han man said was no different from what he knew, the young Liao man finally had a smile on his face.
He got off his horse and saluted the two of them. "Please don't blame me. Wang Qingtian is Liao's savior. I thought you had malicious intentions towards Wang Qingtian."
"Malicious? Could it be that my cousin offended some important person here?"
"The person he offended was the governor of Liuzhou, because the concubine he married was the daughter of the chief minister of Rongzhou."
"The minister Lagong wanted to rob my family's mountain. I took his people there, but in the end, he almost died because of the plot."
"Wang Qingtian not only invited a doctor to cure me, but he also upheld justice for our Liao family, and finally made Shengliao surrender and returned the land of our Mulaoliao people."
"The Liuzhou governor sent someone to make peace, but Wang Qingtian sided with me, Mulao Liao, because of his righteousness..."
Seeing this young official talking excitedly about the merits of Wang Xuance, Li Ning and Deng Yong both tried hard to keep the other's statement in mind.
#####
"I'm going to see Yu Zhizhou."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I don't know what General Li ordered when he came here."
Rongzhou Yu Zhizhou bowed respectfully to Li Ning and Deng Yong, who revealed their identities, and said with a flattering smile.
"In the past, Wang Xuance, the magistrate of Huangshui County, had outstanding political achievements in Huangshui County. For several years, he was deeply loved by the Han officials in Huangshui County."
"When County Magistrate Wang resigned, he was rated as above middle school..."
"Above average?" Li Ning and Deng Yong couldn't help exchanging a look. You must know that in the merit examination department, regarding the merit examination of King Lord Bo back then, he was rated as average or above.
One represents a very good evaluation, while the other represents that the official is only qualified. There must be something fishy here.
Li Ning took a breath and asked Yu Zhizhou seriously, "May I ask Yu Zhizhou if you have any evidence?"
"Of course there is. Two generals, please wait a moment. I will send someone to get the file and let the two generals know after they see it."
