Chapter five hundred and ninetieth: the king is angry
Chapter 9
"Pooh!"
The old woman spat directly into the censor's face.
"You really have a bad conscience, your heart is blinded by lard, and you are ungrateful bastards!"
"If it weren't for King Qi, how many of us, the victims, would have starved to death?"
"Even if you don't starve to death, how can you live such a good life?"
"The King of Qi introduced chicken farms and pig farms, and now half of the people are working there!"
"King Qi also helped introduce a new apple variety. I heard it is called Red Fuji. It will take several years to bear fruit, so someone has already made a reservation in advance!"
"You people, how dare you slander King Qi? How bad is your conscience!"
"Come quickly, someone here is saying bad things about King Qi!"
The old woman yelled the last sentence at the top of her lungs.
As for the old woman, at such an old age, her voice is unusually high-pitched.
Everyone within a hundred meters could hear it clearly.
"Where is it? Where is it?"
"Who is speaking ill of King Qi?"
"Fuck that bitch!"
"I'll give him a hammer? Kill him!"
As he was shouting, a group of old women and old men rushed out of the room, holding hoe, shovels, hoes, kitchen knives and other messy weapons in their hands.
Fortunately, Li Shimin saw the opportunity early and ran out early.
Otherwise, if they were stopped by these old people, it would be really difficult for them to escape.
You can't do anything to these old people, right?
After running out, Li Shimin had a dark face and got angry at the censor: "It's all your fault. If you can't speak, don't speak. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Look at the bad things you do."
The censor's face turned red after being scolded, but he did not dare to speak back.
Next, they no longer dare to wander around in this village.
Because in the village, more and more people are coming out of their homes to look for them.
Li Shimin and his party soon arrived at the second village.
When they got here, they didn't dare to ask this question.
They pretended to ask for directions and talked slowly.
And the people who made the cliche are the censors.
Now, these censors are very panicked.
Because things seem to be different from what they imagined.
When they were in Chang'an, because of their impeachment, there was a large wave of impeachment of the King of Qi.
At that time, they were very proud and self-respecting.
Judging from the situation at that time, King Qi was really being bullied by everyone and was in doom.
But now after arriving in Qizhou, they discovered that that was not the case at all.
For those victims, King Qi did not have the slightest resentment.
The so-called usury is actually just the interest required to buy a house.
For a ten-year loan, the total interest is only about double?
Can they call this usury?
Real loan sharking will increase many times in ten years.
In their opinion, if the interest rate doubles in ten years, not only can they not make money, they are simply losing money!
King Qi is losing his own money to subsidize the victims.
And what bad things did these censors do?
He actually used this incident to impeach the King of Qi and almost destroyed the King of Qi.
This is the emperor's son!
Was it almost destroyed by them?
Even if they are censors, even if they have the right to hear and speak, I'm afraid they won't be able to reap the benefits afterwards!
So, they tried every possible means to make these victims speak ill of King Qi.
It's a pity that no matter how hard they try, they can't do this.
In this era, people are all conscientious.
Because of the funding from King Qi, their life can be said to be prosperous now.
They are full of enthusiasm and are confident that within five years, they can catch up with those who have not been affected by the disaster.
Because Qi King Li Ke recently learned many advanced development concepts from Shu King Li Min.
Policies began to favor these reconstruction victims.
We try our best to help the victims find ways to get rich.
Farm recruitment, fruit cultivation, medicinal cultivation, and handicraft production.
Waiting for the projects to come to power, and in order to prevent the victims from having to worry, these projects all have acquisition contracts.
Now, the lives of these disaster victims are getting better and better day by day.
Let me ask, in this situation, who is not grateful to King Qi?
"King Qi is our reborn parent. Without King Qi, how would we live a good life?"
"We are all at home, setting up a memorial tablet for King Qi and making offerings to him every day."
"King Qi really cares about our people!"
"Just a few days ago, King Qi came to our village! He had a meal at our house, and after the meal, he even gave us money! You said, isn't this a slap in my face?
?How can I ask for King Qi’s money? If the villagers find out about this, won’t they drown them in their spit?”
"King Qi wakes up early and stays at night, thinking about us people! In the past few months, King Qi has been tanned and thin, and I feel distressed just looking at him!"
The words of these common people were like small knives, cutting into the hearts of several censors one by one.
Every word of praise for King Qi would make them tremble with fear.
One censor couldn't help but asked: "Don't you have any resentment against King Qi?"
After asking this question, the censor regretted it.
Soon, his regret came true.
Because, he suffered an explosion at that time.
Unfortunately, there are four strong young men in this family.
The brothers went into battle together, and they were the type who couldn't pull him apart. They almost beat him to death.
After this incident, there is no need to continue investigating.
Li Shimin stayed here all night without saying a word and with a dark face.
Early the next morning, Li Shimin boarded the return train directly.
He didn't even go to Prince Qi's Mansion at all.
Because Li Shimin felt that it was difficult for him to tell King Qi what he was doing this time.
That afternoon, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an.
On that day, Li Shimin ordered an enlarged meeting of officials to be held in the morning of the next day.
In other words, this is a major dynasty, and there will be many more officials participating in the morning dynasty than usual.
On the second day, more than a hundred officials attended the morning dynasty.
This morning's court meeting left all the officials confused.
There seems to be nothing major going on in the court recently, right?
What does the emperor mean by convening this great dynasty?
I don't know if I forgot it or for some reason.
The censors who followed the emperor to Qizhou did not disclose their itinerary.
Nor did they tell their colleagues what they saw and heard in Qizhou.
This also directly resulted in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty being kept in the dark except for Wei Zheng and several censors.
And what they have been doing before is impeaching King Qi!
Although the emperor escaped for a few days, this matter was far from over.
So, which officials of the King of Qi were originally impeached.
At this time, he could not help but step up his offensive, and he was even more desperate to impeach King Qi.
Facing the impeachment of various officials, Li Shimin sneered and let them perform like clowns.
It's almost time for them to impeach.
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask Wei Zheng: "Wei Aiqing, where have I been, what have I done, and what have I seen these past few days? Why don't you tell me about it?"
After hearing the emperor's words, all the civil and military officials couldn't help but feel stunned.
Especially those officials who were desperately trying to impeach him began to panic.
Only the few censors who followed Li Shimin lowered their heads and kept sneering.
If you want to die, let's all die together!
After receiving Li Shimin's order, Wei Zheng began to march out.
Then he said slowly: "In the past few days, I have followed the emperor on a trip to Qizhou and walked around in the fifteen resettlement villages in Qizhou."
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, the impeached officials became even more panicked.
not good!
No wonder the emperor's behavior today is completely different from usual!
It turns out that the emperor has already investigated it!
Didn't King Qi do that? Didn't those victims have strong resentment?
Then, Wei Zheng was heard to say: "These resettlement villages can be said to be the most beautiful villages I have ever seen."
"Every house has the same specifications and is neatly arranged. The roads are crisscrossed. The streets are clean."
"When we went there, all the laborers in the village were busy outside. Only the elderly and children were left in the village."
"The children are all wearing neat clothes, their faces are red, and they don't have any talent at all."
"The old man was leisurely basking in the sun. We asked many people in the village and they were only grateful to King Qi."
"Liu Yushi said something bad about King Qi and was spat in the face. Yushi Zhang said something bad about King Qi and was almost beaten to death."
"In the resettlement village, every family of the victims is living a good life. We went around and found no one who had any resentment against the King of Shu! This is what we saw and heard."
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, the entire court fell into silence.
At this time, those officials who had impeached the King of Qi were filled with infinite fear.
They really didn't expect this.
They thought that what they said about impeaching King Qi was true.
But I didn't expect that it turned out to be completely false.
What's even more frightening is that the emperor took Wei Zheng and others to investigate and verify it in person.
Wei Zheng will never lie.
Oh my god!
Look what they have done, right?
Because of their impeachment, a prince was almost destroyed!
He is still such a capable and outstanding prince.
This time, can the emperor give up?
Sure enough, Li Shimin's face turned extremely ugly.
"Huh! Now I really believe in this sentence. The words of a crowd make gold, but the accumulation of words will destroy the bones!"
"Three people make a tiger! So many of you are impeaching my son. If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes and investigated it myself, I would really believe what you said!"
"Thanks to the fact that King Qi is my son! If he was not my son, would I personally go to Qizhou to investigate?"
"If King Qi is not my son, what will be his fate? Being dismissed from office is probably the lightest result, right?"
"What a good official, he was almost destroyed in the hands of you people! How can you be worthy of being an official in this court?"
"Humph! This is my good censor and my good official!"
"What a shadow of a barking dog, and the sound of a hundred dogs barking, retreat from the court!"
This time, the emperor did not hold them accountable.
But there was no excitement at all in their hearts.
If the government does not hold them accountable, it does not mean that the emperor will let them go!
This time, I'm afraid there will be big moves in the court, right?
…
In Yizhou New City, Li Min couldn't help but feel completely relieved after receiving this information.
It seems that his plan was quite successful!
In the past few years, Qi King Li Ke had actually been doing very well in his fiefdom.
But no one mentioned the contribution of King Qi at all.
On the contrary, Wei King Li Tai was by the emperor's side, although he had never been an official in the fiefdom and had not done anything great.
But it can always keep a sense of presence.
Even if I compile a book, I can get praise and praise from many people.
Therefore, this time, Li Min also wants to give his brother, King Li Ke of Qi, a sense of presence.
The same is true for preventing floods in advance.
The actions of Qi King Li Ke and Wei King Li Tai can be said to be in sharp contrast.
The king of Wei, Li Tai, had no intention at all, resulting in the death and injury of more than a thousand people.
And what about Li Ke, King of Qi?
Not only did no common people die, but the victims were also properly resettled during the subsequent resettlement process.
Let the victims be grateful to him.
Comparing these two makes a judgment call.
The most important thing is that the King of Qi was originally inconspicuous.
Now he suddenly walked up to the officials.
It gave all officials a new understanding of King Qi's abilities.
Once this is done, the work can be completed successfully.
Li Min has been very busy recently.
Because the three little guys are all alive now.
They have already learned to stand and even started to learn to walk.
Li Min prepared a walker for them.
The three little guys stood in the walker and walked very fast without fear of falling.
Li Min followed the three little guys every day, watching their changes day by day, and felt happy.
In particular, these three little guys have already started talking nonsense.
Li Rong has even started to call her daddy.
Well, of course, in the Tang Dynasty, there was no such title as father at all.
This is all caused by Li Min's certain feelings, teaching a few little ones to call mom and dad.
Li Rong is the fastest to learn words, and the first thing she learned is to call her daddy.
No, now Li Min is holding Li Rong's hand and saying to her: "Rong'er, call daddy."
Li Rong looked up at Li Min, opened her mouth and shouted awkwardly: "Baba... Baba..."
"Why!"
Hearing his daughter's voice, Li Min was so happy that he forgot everything he did.
Beside her, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Husband, what does dad mean? Why did Ronger call her dad?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said, "Dad, it's actually a name for father. As a child, she can't learn it if it's too complicated. Look, how fast she learns?"
"Come on, Ronger, call mom!"
It's just that Li Rong hasn't learned how to call mom yet.
I shouted several times, but it didn't sound like it at all.
As a result, Li Min became even happier.
Next to her, Wu Meiniang pretended to be jealous and said: "Okay, little guy, you are the closest to your father! You can call me father and father, why can't you call me mother?"
Well, the title of mother naturally does not exist in this era.
This is also a new title coined by King Li Min of Shu.
But Wu Meiniang actually didn't care about this.
It's just a title, as long as the husband likes it.
Moreover, after listening to it for a long time, I really think that the title of mother is quite nice.
And Li Min, after hearing Wu Meiniang's words, couldn't help but smile, and then said:
"Actually, the first name a child learns is basically daddy. Because daddy is easier to talk to than mommy!"
Wu Meiniang blinked her eyes, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
But I was wondering in my heart.
I have never heard anyone call me mom or dad before. How did your husband know this?
Soon, winter arrived.
The weather is getting colder day by day.
The little ones can no longer go out casually and can only stay at home.
On this day, the greatest gift from God was not to be a walker.
Instead, he stood holding the table.
Li Min was a few meters in front of him, stretched out his hands, and shouted to him: "Tianci, here, come, come to daddy."
Tianci looked at Li Min, let go of the table, and wanted to move forward.
But he didn't learn to walk yet. For a moment, he didn't seem to know which leg to move first. His body swayed and he fell to the ground, crying loudly.
Seeing this scene, Qin Meng felt heartbroken and quickly stepped forward to pick Tianci up.
Li Min stood up and stopped her, shaking his head slightly.
"Goddess, don't cry, be brave and get up on your own."
The little guy thought someone would come over to hug him, but he ignored Li Min's words and still lay on the ground crying.
Qin Mengxin once again wanted to go over and pick up the child, but Li Min stopped her again.
Qin Meng was so distressed that her tears almost fell, and she was really angry, so she couldn't help but turn away.
"Come on, Goddess, be brave and get up on your own."
The little guy lay on the ground and cried for a long time. Seeing that no one came to hug him, he couldn't help wiping his tears and got up from the ground.
"Come, come to daddy."
He fell down once. This time, the little guy staggered and learned to walk.
Twisting and twisting, he walked to Li Min's side with difficulty and threw himself into his arms.
He shouted excitedly: "Dad!"
Li Min also laughed happily.
"Godsend, you are already a man. In the future, if you fall, you don't need help from others. You have to stand up by yourself. Do you understand?"
"Um!"
Tianci nodded, but actually didn't understand what his father meant at all.
Next to her, Qin Mengxin, even Wu Meiniang and Xue Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully.
It turns out that it’s not that the husband doesn’t love his son, but that he wants his son to be self-reliant since he was a child!
Since Tianci learned to walk, these two little guys, Baoyu and Li Rong, were very jealous and unconvinced.
Both of them did not use walkers and started to learn to walk on their own.
Baoyu fell to the ground with a thud.
Xue Xiaoxiao was so distressed that tears fell down, but she still encouraged: "Baoyu, be brave and get up by yourself."
Next to him, Li Min also sent encouraging looks.
But unexpectedly, when no one came to hug the little guy, he felt so aggrieved that he immediately fell on the ground and burst into tears.
I cried for a long time, my voice getting smaller and smaller, and finally I fell asleep on the ground.
Okay, co-author, where did you fall? Just take a nap there?
Xue Xiaoxiao immediately picked up the little guy with anger and laughter, and carefully put him on the bed.
Next to her, Li Rong was very timid, holding the table with both hands and not daring to let go.
Li Min couldn't help but encourage: "Rong'er, don't be afraid, come on, let go and come to daddy."
It took a long time before Li Rong let go of his hand, but as soon as he took a step, he fell directly to the ground.
Next to her, Wu Meiniang said hard-heartedly: "Rong'er, be brave and get up by yourself."
As a result, before she could finish her words, Li Min walked over distressed and picked up Li Rong.
Then while wiping her tears, she asked distressedly: "Rong'er, don't cry. Dad will rub it for you. Does it still hurt? Don't cry. Don't cry. If you dare to throw my baby girl, let's see what dad does.
beat him!"
It took a long time to coax Li Rong into laughing.
Next to them, Xue Xiaoxiao and Qin Mengxin couldn't help but be speechless.
Husband, didn’t you just say that you should be brave and let her stand up on her own?
How come you have double standards when you come to Ronger?
Sure enough, my husband still likes girls more!
Well, when I get pregnant again, I will give birth to a daughter no matter what.
Wu Meiniang also asked incomprehensively: "Husband, why don't you let Ronger stand up on her own? If you don't teach her brave words since she was a child, what will you do when she grows up?"
Li Min hugged Li Rong, put her on his neck and rode her, while explaining casually:
"Haven't you heard a saying? Boys should be raised poor, girls should be raised rich!"
"A boy must go through hardships since childhood before he can grow up! Girls need to be carefully cared for! Why should a girl be so brave?"
After hearing Li Min's words, the faces of several ladies showed thoughtful expressions.
Not to mention, just like what your husband said, it really is true!
It turns out that it’s not that the husband values girls over boys, it’s actually because the husband’s expectations for them are different.
As a result, it took several days for Li Rong to learn to walk.
Once the three little ones learned to walk, the house became completely chaotic.
These three little guys have really grown up together.
If we can't see each other every day, we will lose our temper.
But if we are together, we will start fighting after a while.
Whenever I see something interesting, I will fight for it.
Anyway, when the three little guys get together, either you cry or they bark, it’s really lively.
Li Min felt really painful and happy following the three little guys.
Just like this, day by day, the three little guys walked harder and harder.
Before you know it, it’s New Year’s Eve time again.
Ever since the three little guys were able to leave, Li Min always felt that this year's Chinese New Year was much more lively than in previous years.
I don’t want to say much about the annual winter fishing meeting.
But at this year's winter fishing conference, there were three more little guys.
And each of these three little guys grabbed their favorite fish.
Of course, the little ones don’t have to do it themselves. They just raise their fingers and someone will naturally bring it to them.
After the winter fishing, it's the Spring Festival. This year's New Year's Eve, with three little ones, always feels a bit more lively than last year.
