Dust was flying on the official road, and more than ten riders rushed to the official residence outside Huaqing Palace. Full version 520.
The king got off his horse and strode into his official residence in Lishan. He saw his servants already waiting in the lobby.
However, after scanning around, I didn’t see the main aim.
“Where are the people?“
“Back to Alang, Dalang was invited by Yang Zhongcheng to ask questions. He has been away for several days.”
"How dare he?!" The king was immediately furious and cursed: "This spitting pot."
Because the Imperial Guard wanted to block the news from Chang'an, he didn't know much about the Qixi Festival assassination case, so he quickly arranged for someone to go and request an audience.
I spent a restless quarter of an hour in the hall asking about what had happened recently in Lishan, and I saw Wang Zhun back.
“Grandpa!“
With the king’s energy-raising skills, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed at this time. He hurriedly pulled his son over and said, “Let’s talk in the study.”
When he arrived at the study, the first thing Wang did was to take off his robe and wipe his body with a cloth, because he had just broken out in a cold sweat.
“Have you been tortured?”
"How dare he?!" Wang Zhun said, "How many years have I accompanied the saint in cockfights? How dare they torture me?"
"what happened?"
“Unfortunately, I recommended Fa Hai. My second uncle was responsible for supervising the expenditure of funds for the expansion of Huaqing Palace, so he was suspected.
Second uncle has no brain, what can he do? I have accompanied the saint in cockfights for many years. If I want to assassinate him...how can I do it?"
"I know." Wang Xin knew that this matter was definitely not Wang Zhun's plan, and said: "It can be seen at a glance that a small homemade crossbow dared to assassinate the holy driver. Who else could be involved?"
“Do you think so?”
Wang Zhun stared, spread out his arms and waved twice, saying: "I was killed in front of the saint! I was scared to death that night!"
“My advice is to calm down and think about it.
“Calm down? The crossbow arrows are quenched with poison. Grandpa can only calm down when he is not present.”
Wang Dao: "What has the sage not seen? He will understand. It is just what the unruly people did."
“No, Li Xi, Da Xifu is dead.”
“What? How did you die?”
"Either the mastermind behind the scenes silenced himself; or Yang Guozhong saw that they were too involved and was so frightened that he killed them."
“Who is Yang Guozhong?“
“Yang Guozhong is the spitting pot, Yang Zhao.”
"He changed his name?" Wang asked in surprise, "Just because of the golden sword? Does the saint care about this now?"
"How can we not be taboo?" Wang Zhun jumped anxiously, "The saint has long tabooed the presence of a palace official named Liu. This time a poisonous arrow hit him, and I still don't understand the seriousness...
The king stretched out his hand and pushed, signaling his son to stop making noise.
He frowned in thought and murmured to himself: "What on earth do the saints think?"
Not long after, someone came to the study room to report something.
“Alang, the saint summoned you.”

Wang Que was still thinking a lot.
He had heard many stories about the saints' bravery and bravery in their youth. Li Linfu's uncle Jiang Jiao was a close friend of the saint when he was hiding in his residence. He often talked about how the saint stepped through pools of blood and cleansed away evil spirits during the cruel Wu Zhou Dynasty.
A saint is never as greedy for life and afraid of death as Li Linfu. His prowess and martial arts are like those of Taizong. Only a saint can be a saint without fear when facing thousands of enemies.
It was just an outrageous assassination. He originally thought that the saint would point to the crossbow arrows on the ground and ask cheerfully, "I will stand here and tell me, why do you want to kill me?"
Jinyang Gate was slowly opened in front of him. Wang raised his head and looked at the beautiful Lishan Mountain, and suddenly found that Huaqing Palace was different from the last time he came.
Yeah, it’s different.
In the blink of an eye, he has been an official for thirty years. Things have changed, but he is still indulged in the deep impressions of his youth on many things. Search xs520.

“I’ll see you here, Doctor Wang.”
"good."
The king stood still in front of the palace, turned around and saw a young man standing there, it was Xue Bai.
He then chatted briefly.
“This case is related to Zhuang Yuan Lang again?”
“Doctor Wang is so polite.” Xue Bai said: “With the saint approaching, naturally he will participate more in everything.”
"It makes sense. The more you want, the more you do." Wang's eyes flashed and he said, "There are also many mistakes."
Xue Bai responded: "In his position, he does his own thing, that's all."
It seems that both of them understood the Sacred Heart. The king wanted to find out which of his ministers had done something wrong, while Xue Bai thought that he should do something in his position.
Seems like just small talk.
At this time, the minister who was bowing in the palace to vote was Yang Guozhong.
“I have neglected my duty. I must investigate this case strictly and find out who dared to kill people under the eyes of the imperial guards.”
"There is no need to panic the ministers and workers." Li Longji regained some of his usual open-mindedness and calmly waved his hand.
He said: "Since the person is dead, the case should be closed with Li Xi and Da Xifu."
Yang Guozhong was stunned and said: "But there must be someone behind this case. The saint was praying for rain in the Dragon Hall, and this case happened less than half a month later. It can be seen that there must be someone who wants to defy the power of heaven."
After these words, Li Longji made an imperceptible nod.
Because he failed to pray for rain, those stupid demons who were bewitched by the knowledge of the golden sword thought they had an opportunity to take advantage of it. The failure of praying for rain in Longtang has been kept secret and not known to the people. Then someone must have asked the demon thief. disclose.
Yang Guozhong added: "At the beginning of the sixth year of Tianbao, Li Xi recruited hundreds of laborers from Henan County, Luoyang County, and Yanshi County, and all the monsters and thieves came from this. I believe that there are important figures in this case hidden in Dongdu. Also, Liu Hua’s adoptive father has not been found yet...
"Secret investigation, I will give you the right to do things conveniently." Li Longji still said: "But the case should be closed first."
Yang Guozhong lowered his body and surmised that the assassination by the Holy Spirit occurred in Lishan Mountain, and the imperial guards had been blocking the news. The Saint did not want the assassination to spread, and the case must be closed as soon as possible. An explanation must also be given to those who knew about it.
“In compliance with the decree, I believe that Li Xi was born in the Li family of Longxi, a descendant of King Bohai, a distant relative of the clan, and harbors rebellious intentions.
Collude with demons.
Yang Guozhong spoke very slowly, feeling the aura of the saint, and gradually became sure that he had guessed the holy meaning.
Li Xi got the handle of Da Xifu's concealment of mourning and forced him to become an accomplice. The two bribed the monster thieves and planned a rebellion. However, a clown can't take away the power of the saint in the slightest... Will I end the case with this? "
"allow."
"I will secretly investigate who secretly helped Liu Hua and Li Sui to enter Jifang and Yulin Army, and then killed them at the fire."
Li Longji waved his hand, and Gao Lishi held out a holy message.
He was appointed as the official of Yang Guozhong Guanglu, the Shaoqing of Dali, and the young eunuch of the palace."
“Sir, thank you for your grace!”
Yang Guozhong was overjoyed and burst into tears of gratitude.
The official title of Guanglu Doctor was from the fourth rank, and the Dali Shaoqing was responsible for investigating the case. The young eunuch in the palace was in charge of the emperor's immediate affairs, making it easier to enter the palace. The saint's intention was obvious. He wanted him to keep an eye on the courtiers and find out what was going on.
Who has evil intentions?
“I will do my best even if I die!”
“Get back.”
"I retire."
Yang Guozhong leaned forward and walked out of the hall, wiping the tears on his face.
At this moment, he recalled the cold days in Sichuan and Sichuan... At that time, he never thought that one day he would be so prosperous?
Continuing to walk out, he saw Wang Quan??Ben??????????.????
Just two years ago, he had to look up to the king, but looking at him today, he was just mediocre. Unfortunately, the robes were not the same, and there was still a difference between the red robe and the purple robe.
From this point of view, the assassination case must have been organized by "Wang, you are so clever. As soon as you arrive at Lishan, you will silence Li Xi and Da Xifu."
Yang Guozhong said this in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and he saluted: "I have met Tai Fu."
Wang nodded, and as Yang Guozhong's officer, he said in a polite tone: "You have worked hard, I will tell you after I meet the emperor."
“Yes, Taifu.“
Yang Guozhong glanced at Xue Bai again and left the palace.
The sky is high and the clouds are vast, but there is only one thought in his mind.
“You changed the name to the right one, the Taoist priest is really amazing!”
NA
An eunuch came out of the main hall. He was a subordinate of Gao Lishi and an old man who had been with the saint when he lurked in his residence. His name was Feng Shenwei.
From the names "Hercules" and "Shenwei", one may recall the saint's ambition to eliminate the evil spirits of Wu Zhou when he was young. The master stepped forward and asked: "Who should the saint summon first?"
“Doctor Wang, please invite me.”
Feng Shenwei raised his hand to invite him, but he did not forget to glance at Xue Bai, and gestured with his chin: "Xue Lang, please stay a little longer."
Feng Neiguan is polite." Xue Bai held the ceremony and said: "It should be, I can wait."
Wang Que turned his back to Xue Bai and walked towards the main hall. Hearing this calm tone, his face couldn't help but become more solemn.
Today's meeting with the Holy Spirit was like a test. He was much more nervous than Xue Bai.
As soon as he entered the palace, the king fell down.
"Your Majesty, when I heard that there was such a rebellious thing, I was heartbroken... But Your Majesty is fine. I wish I could take my place in your place!"
“Okay, okay, do you think I’ve never seen the world?”
Li Longji, who was sitting on the royal couch, actually smiled, patted his knees and said, "It's just a small scene, it can't compare to the past."
Also, how can a demon thief with a hunting dog and small crossbow, a demon thief from the Yulin Army, and more than 20 ordinary people be worthy of comparison with Empress Wu and Princess Taiping? On July 15th, comparing those two women, these rebellious people are really
It's just like floating dust.
The king finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the ground.
“My rebellious son is actually an evil beast, and he recommended a monster monk; my brother is really a fool, and he oversaw the construction of the Huaqing Palace, and he committed such negligence. I am guilty of a crime that deserves ten thousand death, and I shall submit to the Holy Judgment.”
“How should I punish you?”
…
Wang hesitated, thinking of Li Xi and Da Xifu's death. He was really scared. His heartstrings that had just been relaxed tightened again, and he felt an inexplicable coldness on his back.
He simply didn’t say something false, he actually said something that was feasible.
“I beg you to dismiss me from office.”
"Hahaha." Li Longji returned to his former grand demeanor, "Shiro said Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming, Li Shizhi and others are going to rebel. I'm just demoting my official position. What does this mean to you? Get up. Yang Guozhong's case has been concluded. Li
Xi was ashamed of the divine grace and committed suicide."
“Li Ji...Li Jixi?”
"What's the use of His Highness crying his whole life here?" Li Longji didn't want to say more. He rarely hesitated and asked: "What does Wang Qing think of the disaster in Henan Road?"
Wang was stunned, a little confused, and tried to keep up with the saint's thoughts, and responded: "The world is so big, it is common for some states and counties to be affected by disasters. There are 29 states in Henan Province. This summer, drought has spread to Xu, Chen, and Ru states. Okay.
There are warehouses and charity warehouses in all states and counties to provide disaster relief, so there is nothing wrong with it.”
“What about previous years?“
“There is nothing wrong with the world.”
“Re-reforming the free warehouse law, regardless of the area of acres, production of millet is based on households...can it force the common people who have no acres of land?”
Zhu Que replied: "Your Majesty is overly concerned. The purpose of this move by the Right Prime Minister is to make officials change and merchants to produce millet. As for the so-called common people who have no land to occupy," I don't know who I am referring to. All households in the Tang Dynasty have equal land. None
The landowners are nothing more than runaway households and private slaves, so how can the court ask them to produce millet?"
The palace became quiet.
Gao Lishi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn’t know where to start.
If we start from the sentence "Every household in the Tang Dynasty has equal land"...the saint is already over sixty years old, how can we persuade the saint to use the word "equal land"? This is the fundamental system of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Longji seemed not to hear anything wrong in Wang's words, and said calmly: "Liu Hua's confession said that his adoptive father was a commoner and was killed by Yicangfa."
"It's nonsense." Wang Que immediately retorted, "Yang Zhao... The loyal people of the country don't know the per-mu tax, so they are deceived by such ridiculous words. The profit warehouse harvests millet, and the per-mu payment is only two liters. It is harvested in a good year, but it is harvested in a famine year.
For the sake of the people! Right Prime Minister re-established the Yicang Law,
It also allows wealthy businessmen and merchants to pay money, reducing the burden on the people, and in disaster years there will be more food to help the victims. "
With that said, he solemnly performed the ceremony and said: "I don't know about other things. Only about money and food, your majesty has no problem trusting me."
Really?" Li Longji seemed to be talking to himself.
“There have been more disaster years in recent years. Since the beginning of spring, many prefectures and counties in Guanzhong have not received rain for six months. However, Your Majesty, you can see that some disaster victims have come to Chang’an, or gathered people to become thieves? This is because Taicang has enough food to provide relief.”
"yes."
"Your Majesty has not left Guanzhong for ten years, and the world has been fine. The people of Guanzhong do not have to eat in other states even in years of disaster. This is the effectiveness of governance and a great event in the past and present. I don't know who was harmed for personal gain and spread the rumors.
If you want to wipe out your Majesty's achievements, I only believe in one thing: the world is getting better and better."
The more he spoke, the more calm and confident the king became. Finally, he gave an example:
“If the ministers were to eat the emperor’s salary, they would not believe the words of the saints. However, the words of the people would not be false. The people of Huazhou wrote to them several times,
How can it be false to praise the sage for his achievements in Xuanyuan and to ask the sage to be enshrined in the Western Mountains? 'Now the sage's merits are higher than those of the Xuanyuan family, and his work has been compiled by the seventy kings. Wherever the wind and rain touch, and where the sun and moon shine, everyone is forging ahead. Huashan Mountain is so close,
Can it be sealed? 'This is the wish of all the people, Your Majesty."
Outside the palace, the sun broke out from the clouds, and the sky suddenly became brighter, as if even God agreed with the king's words.
The shadow caused by a stabbing case seems to have been swept away.
The king was no longer afraid. He took a step forward and lowered his voice slightly, saying: "Your Majesty, the demon thieves are making trouble and deceiving the public with their evil words.
There is something really fishy, please investigate secretly.
ˆˆNN
Xue Bai looked up at the sky and suddenly had a premonition in his heart.
He had an inexplicable premonition that Yang Guozhong was executing those rebels. Liu Hua, who played Fahai, and Liu Sheng, who was indifferent... would soon die like those shadows.
The meaning of assassination will also disappear little by little.
Xue Bai then raised his hand and placed it in the sun, thinking that someone would think that the light was shining all over the sky again.
When the king came out of the palace, he saw Xue Bai observing the light and shadow, just like his silly brother when he was a child.
“The number one scholar is still young.”
“Yes.” Xue Baizhen showed a clean smile. Wang Que also smiled, and his smile became more relaxed.
He has regained His Majesty's trust because he is a capable minister who helps the saints handle state affairs. The assassination case will definitely cause the accompanying gentry officials such as Xue Bai and Jia Chang to lose more trust.
Xue Bai felt that it was boring to compete with others, so he nodded and followed Feng Shenwei into the hall.
When he arrived in front of the emperor, he greeted him calmly, as usual,
“My minister, Tai Le Cheng, and the school secretary, Xue Bai, have met the saint.”
"Excuse me, you saved Taizhen on the Chinese Valentine's Day. You have done such a great job. I should reward you well, but I have been busy with state affairs recently and forgot about it. What reward do you want?"
Faintly, Xue Bai felt that Li Longji's attitude was a little cold and his tone was reluctant.
He realized that he might have accidentally made the emperor unhappy. He didn’t know the reason yet, but it must have been a trivial matter.
Li Longji is hard to mention.
"I don't deserve rewards. As Tai Le Cheng, I made a mistake when leading the musicians to perform in front of the emperor. What I did afterwards was just to make up for my negligence. No matter how great my achievements are, it is difficult to cover up my fault. I should be punished. This is the law of the country.
"
Li Longji did not plan to reward him heavily immediately, and the reward could not be based on the excuse of rescuing the enemy, lest it appear that he took the assassination too seriously.
He was indeed not as comfortable as he was in the past when getting along with Xue Bai.
If Xue Bai is like a cat, he used to be teased and happy, but Li Longji has just been bitten by a dog recently, and he is subconsciously worried that the cat will scratch people. This is the difference between a capable minister and a minister.
“I heard that you have a lively mind and are looking for an official position recently?”
"I... am."
“Which problem do you want to pursue?”
Having said this, Xue Bai did not hide it and responded: "I have been boldly seeking the position of Wei Zhaoying."
Li Longji acted like he knew everything, and asked: "You founded the newspaper institute, and you know it best. Who do you think is qualified?"
This way of asking questions made the ministers unaware of how many facts the saint had mastered, and they had to be more careful when answering.
Xue Bai pondered for a moment, looked at Feng Shenwei behind Gao Lishi, and said: "I think that General Feng, the lieutenant general, is qualified to be the official of the academy, and his official rank is at the fourth rank."
Feng Shenwei was standing there in a red robe and was distracted. He didn't react at first. It wasn't until Li Longji turned to look at him that he was extremely surprised.
“The saint, the old slave…never thought about this.”
Li Longji did not answer, but looked at Xue Bai again and continued to ask: "Where are the people who do practical things?"
There can be two more Chancellors, six ranks; four editors-in-chief, seven ranks; and additional editors, reviewers, etc.
“You are talking about the official positions such as Yuan Zhi, Yuan Cheng, etc.” Li Longji smiled playfully and said: “It is the same as the content in You Xiangzou’s book.”
"It was exactly what the right prime minister planned." Xue Bai said bluntly, "The right prime minister ordered his ministers to recommend the officials he was interested in, so I learned about it. However, I thought that the right prime minister's intention was inappropriate, so I reported it to the court and appointed officials accordingly.
He was born as a Jinshi and served as a pure minister with great talent and learning.
I recommend Li Mi, Wang Wei, Xiao Yingshi, Li Hua, Wang Changling...
“Pure minister.”
Li Longji pondered these two words and asked: "Among these people, who do you think can be the Chancellor?"
“Li Bi and Wang Wei have high official positions and have the same aloof family background as Xiao Yingshi. As for Li Hua and Wang Changling, if your majesty uses these two people, they will burst into tears with gratitude.”
“What about you? You are also a pure minister?”
“I am.”
Li Longji's attitude toward Xue Bai finally improved, and he said: "The man behind the evil bandits has been found out. Li Xi, the magistrate of Zhaoying County, please follow Yang Guozhong to search his mansion in Chang'an."
He did not say whether he would be rewarded with an official position, but directly gave him an errand. It was more like giving Xue Bai another chance to test "I obey the decree."
Xue Bai received the order, left Huaqing Palace, and arrived at Jiangwu Hall. He saw the guards pulling the households out, and all the demon thieves who had been captured alive had been killed.
Yang Guozhong wiped his hands with a handkerchief and came out of the martial arts hall with a relaxed expression.
He didn’t know where he got the news from, so he smiled and said: “Abai is here, haha, you and I can search the house together again. Once this errand is completed, your promotion will be decided.”
Xue Bai understood as soon as he heard this, what kind of obedient ministers are those who can be promoted in Tianbao court?
