A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Looking back again, Gu Qing didn't move at all, like a stone hanging in his heart and didn't land on the ground. Pressure is a very strange thing. When the other party has already stared at you, people will be nervous, and at this time they will keep thinking about the other party What kind of tricks are still in hand, and it is often the easiest time to be in a hurry at this time.

Chapter 407

The major entertainment venues in Chang'an are the places where rangers and hooligans gather, and it is also the place where members of the Qing Gang hang out. The secret lines of the Qing Gang are very busy these days. Well, I don't accept the presence of these powerful children.

These rich and powerful children are going crazy, even if someone doesn't hide the yellow mud from the fields and drop their crotch, it's all that.

Gu Qing has been waiting for these dignitaries to take the initiative to confess, but it has been a long time since anyone came to plead guilty, wanting to investigate every household like General Li Daliang?That would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive. It would be much easier if these people could take the initiative to confess.

"Don't blame me for being rude." Gu Qing wrote a letter and handed it to a small official of Shangshu Province. "Give this letter to the young minister of Dali Temple, Di Renjie."

"Yes!" The clerk replied and went to do it immediately.

After receiving Gu Qing's letter, Di Renjie told the fat monk in his pen room, "Next, we can play bigger and release all the news."

"This is to reduce ten meetings at once, and you don't want to hand over the privately hidden land, right? You can't stay in Chang'an anymore, and everyone calls for beating! Boss Gu is a good way." The fat monk sighed in his heart.

The children of the rich and powerful realized that they had kicked on the iron plate, and they all stayed behind closed doors!The situation continued to escalate. One morning, when the people in Chang'an got up and were busy making a living for the day, they opened the door and saw a note at the door of their house. detailed.

According to word of mouth, the Qing Gang's secret investigation revealed all the secrets of those dignitaries who hid their fields.It exploded in the public like a dynamite barrel, and the news spread all over the place in no time.

Not only alarmed Yushitai, but also alarmed Li Er, Li Er looked at the content on the paper, "Wang Qin, has it really reached such a serious level for them to hide their land?"

Wang Qin nodded and dared not speak.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" A young eunuch came to report, "Duke Zheng is asking to see you."

"Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng?!" Li Er was breathing heavily. Even Wei Zheng had come at this juncture, so he seemed to have to take it seriously, "Let him in."

Wei Zheng came to the Yanqing Hall and advised Li Er to punish all the dignitaries who hid their fields privately as an example to others!

At this point in the matter, all the nobles panicked. The voices in the public are so loud that the nobles have become street rats and everyone shouts and beats them. If this continues, even Chang'an will not be able to stay.

Shang Shusheng, Gu Qing sat with Erlang's legs crossed, and said to Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, "Do you know how to do it?"

"we know."

"Go do it."

After Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu left, Zhang San carefully looked at Gu Qing and asked, "Master Hou, what are you going to do? Can I help you with something?"

"Just stand like this." Gu Qing said weakly.

"Ah?" Zhang San looked surprised, "Master Hou, the next official has followed Master Hou since the day he was reinstated from Shangshu Province..."

"Stop!" Gu Qing said, "Don't show your loyalty to me, I can't stand it."

"Where did Master Hou say this?" Zhang San smiled awkwardly.

"What do I mean, don't you understand? Don't pretend to be confused." Gu Qing stared at him, "Be honest, who are you!"

"The lower officials can't understand the words of Lord Hou more and more." Zhang San smiled even more awkwardly.

On the afternoon of the day when Wei Zheng entered the court to make admonitions, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu brought more than a dozen officials from the Shangshu Province to set up a table here on Zhuque Street in Chang'an, prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and hung a banner. Curious people Passing by one after another and looking at it, I don’t know what it is.

An illiterate old man looked at the banner, "What is this doing, and what is written here!"

A scholar explained to the old man, "These are the officials of the Ministry of Education, and there are eight characters written on it. Frankness is lenient, and resistance is strict!"

The words "leniency in confession and strictness in resistance" made the faces of many dignitaries in Chang'an feel hot. They were not talking about others or themselves. Put it on, everyone knows what they are doing, no matter how tough Gu Qing is, he is afraid of these calculations, this move is directly forcing the palace against these powerful people.

The officials of Zhongshu Province had been sitting on Zhuque Street for a long time, and no one came. When they looked back, they saw Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu sitting under the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade.

Seeing these young officials sitting against the scorching sun, Li Yifu waved and said, "Come here to enjoy the shade, don't stand there."

"We don't have to, we can sit down."

"Don't hold on." Li Yifu said again, "No one will come."

More than a dozen young officials from Shangshu Province are at a loss, no one will come?

"Look at all of you, you are all too upright, how can your understanding be above the court!" Xu Jingzong said to them, "Isn't it true that those powerful people came here to confess their crimes? They want face, they don't Dare, Master Hou asked us to come here just for show."

"Shangshu Province must be full of people now." Li Yifu said with a smile.

Speaking of this, these newly promoted young officials will understand that it turns out that this is used as a cover. No wonder Shang Shuling wants to sit in Shangshu Province. The highlight of the relationship is in Shangshu Province.

Up to now, Shang Shusheng has used a set of combined punches to beat these dignitaries into disgrace, and beat them all by surprise, and they are hard to guard against!

Shang Shusheng was very busy, one letter after another was sent, Gu Qing finally heaved a sigh of relief after reading the contents of the letter, these guys finally couldn't hold on, received a total of more than 30 letters a day, these dignitaries have been forced to In a hurry, they sent letters one after another confessing, how many acres of land they occupied, and where these acres were written clearly. I hope it can be handled in a low-key manner and leave some room for it.

"It's enough to explain it earlier, why bother to save face and suffer." Gu Qing said, put away the letter and said to the little official beside him, "Send them all to the hands of Di Renjie, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Even if the matter has come to an end here, the next thing will be much easier. Dali Temple in Shangshu Province is responsible for checking the acres of land, and the Ministry of Households and Chang'an Ling are responsible for dividing the land and determining taxes.

Chang'an began to get busy with the matter of dividing the land. On this day, something happened at Yushitai. There was also a report box in Chang'an. The large-character box was placed next to the Chang'an Palace, making it much easier to collect small reports.

All the dignitaries in Chang'an once again: "..."

On Suzaku Street, in Cheng's mansion, Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "What kind of grapes does that brat Gu Qing drink? Only men drink spirits!"

Chapter 408 Execution

Even though Wei Zheng resigned to recuperate his health, he still came to remonstrate, which shows the seriousness of this matter. In the Palace of Ganlu, Li Er was so angry that he coughed several times. Empress Changsun watched worriedly as the imperial doctor checked her husband , After a while, the imperial doctor said, "Your Majesty needs to recuperate during this period of time, and your heart is too hot. I will give you some peaceful medicine. Your Majesty will just rest for a while."

Empress Changsun signaled the imperial doctor to step down, massaged Li Er's temples, and helped her husband relax, with sorrow in her eyes.

"I know that I have a lot of unmentionable diseases. Sometimes the illnesses come like a mountain and when people reach a certain age, all kinds of unmentionable diseases will appear." Li Er said wearily, "Isn't my country like this? Everything is good, they report the good news but not the bad news. After the First World War in Tubo, there are still many powerful countries in the west. With the development of trade routes, these powerful countries are all around the rich Central Plains. No one takes Goguryeo seriously. But I know the ambitions of this Goguryeo king."

"Your Majesty, rest for a while." Empress Changsun said worriedly.

"In my opinion, this country is full of devastation!" Li Er frowned, and said to Wang Qin, "Find out those dignitaries who secretly hide their fields, and let me take them all..."

"Your Majesty!" A young eunuch came to report, "The division of the fields has already begun."

"What... has already begun to divide the fields?" Li Er was surprised. Didn't those powerful people resist tightly?

The palace of Ganlu was very quiet, and the little eunuch explained in a panic when he saw that Li Er's expression was not right, "It's all Shang Shuling, and I don't know what method he used to make those powerful and obedient fields hand over, in the words of Shang Shuling, it is If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be strict, and that's it."

Li Er's complexion turned from white to green and then to red, which was very wonderful. Hearing the news, he was still puzzled and said to Wang Qin, "Go and see."

"Old slave understands."

Wang Qin walked out of Chang'an City with his people and immediately saw the scene in the fields in the suburbs. Batch after batch of officials led a large group of people busy in the fields. After several inquiries, he realized that the fields had already been divided.

As soon as Fang Tianjun’s tax law came out, this time it was implemented by Gu Qing. He lamented Gu Qing’s methods. Shang Shu Ling is Gu Qing, and he is accompanied by a group of the youngest and cleanest officials in the court. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this Shang Shu Sheng is a big threat. Sometimes it’s okay to quarrel with Gu Qing, and the patience will pass. But things like touching one's own net worth are not so simple.

This incident even alarmed the harem. Many concubines in Li Er's harem knew about this incident. Many of these concubines were rich and powerful women, and among them was Concubine Wei Gui, who was a head lower than Empress Changsun. It's not a family, but Wei can be regarded as a powerful and a faction of the bureaucratic group above the court.
