Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Pei Ji looked at Lawyer Pei and said, "Do you know why, Li Yuanji asked for a glass of poisoned wine? Get me expelled from the clan, at least in the future, the emperor's liquidation will not implicate the Pei family."

Lawyer Pei couldn't help crying.

The Patriarch of the Pei family was also touched by the scene and wiped the corners of his eyes.

……

In the Pei family's ancestral house in Chang'an City, the Patriarch of the Pei family sat behind the desk with a sad face.

A group of elders of the Pei family, a group of old men, were sitting around, all sighing.

A elder asked: "Tell me, what is the new emperor planning to do?"

All the elders looked at each other.

Patriarch Pei said: "Can't you tell? He wants to settle accounts after the fall. When Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were beaten, he disagreed with the abolished Qin King and blamed our Guanlong family. Now that he has come to power, he wants to settle old accounts with us. .”

The elder said: "Our Pei family has served them wholeheartedly since the Li family entered Guanzhong. Unexpectedly, our sincerity will be exchanged for disaster. Alas! The father and son brothers of the Li family killed each other , the world is really restless... Then shall we wait to be wiped out?"

All the elders faced the Patriarch, and all the elders shouted loudly: "Patriarch, please find Pei Xiangguo, and ask him to come to His Majesty to accommodate you."

The Patriarch of the Pei family sighed and said, "Old Xiangguo is in danger now."

……

With the brewing of time, especially the first heavy rain in Guanzhong, the drought in Guanzhong was easily resolved.Looking at overnight, the entire Chang'an Bashui returned to its original water level.

The Chang'an family already understood that the drought in Guanzhong has passed.

Chen Ying proposed a winter wheat cultivation plan to Li Jiancheng.Originally, Guanzhong only plowed once a year, but now Qinglinli has adopted winter wheat and autumn beans for three consecutive years in summer and autumn.

Let the people of Chang'an also see the feasibility of winter wheat.

With the unexpected arrival of this heavy rain, the people in all parts of Guanzhong hurriedly started farming, prepared grain seeds, and began to sow winter wheat. In this way, they only need to wait until next summer, and Guanzhong will be self-sufficient in grain.

Under this circumstance, the family members of the Guanzhong family could no longer sit still, and they began to sell the grain in their granary crazily.

In fact, Chang'an's grain has reached more than 700 million shi, and it has been continuously imported into Chang'an, and the price of grain has continued to fall.

From 25 Wen per bucket to [-] Wen per bucket, the price of grain harvest in Guanzhong was restored six years before Wude.

These grains have become a hot potato for the aristocratic families, and they will shrink a lot every other day.Relying on the people and gentry in Guanzhong, it is possible to consume 800 million shi of grain in Guanzhong within half a year, not to mention that grain storage also costs a lot of money.

If once the food goes moldy, they are like losing everything.

The law of the market is like this. Originally, I heard that the price of grain in Guanzhong remained high, and grain merchants from other places smuggled grain into the customs one after another.

The result was good. There was more and more grain in Guanzhong, and the price was getting lower and lower.

Under such circumstances, the Guanzhong aristocratic families also opened their granaries one after another and sold their grain.This has exacerbated the sharp drop in grain prices in Guanzhong.

Li Jiancheng not only completed the work of streamlining officials and soldiers and streamlining administration under tremendous pressure, but also restrained the expansion of Li Tang's clan.

Li Jiancheng was in a good mood, and it was mid-September.

During the Great Court Meeting, there was no sign of famine in Guanzhong.

Inside the Xiande Hall, Chen Ying, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and other important court officials gathered in the Xiande Hall with red faces.

Yuwen Shiji sighed: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, such a huge natural disaster and man-made disaster in Guanzhong can disappear invisibly. God bless me, Tang Dynasty!"

Yang Gongren said: "The aristocratic families in Chang'an still know the general situation. Without their help, the imperial court would not be able to survive this natural disaster no matter what!"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Before next year's summer harvest, there is already enough food. By next summer, Guanzhong will be able to recover.

Wei Zheng knocked on the wat board and said: "Everyone, food is no longer a problem. The most urgent thing is to rectify the administration. This is the last hurdle to ensure that the relief food can be delivered to the victims. If someone embezzles the relief food, not only will the disaster relief fail, The imperial court and the Son of Heaven will lose their prestige in front of the family and Li Shu."

Everyone nodded.

Wei Zheng continued: "Wei Zheng thought that Yushitai must send people to monitor the four directions.

Wang Gui nodded and said: "Xuan Cheng's words are to the point. The harm of government officials is like a flood of beasts. If they are left to their own devices, they will be enough to bring about the collapse of the country."

Li Jiancheng stood up, looked at the ministers and said, "Then according to Wei Zheng's words, Yushitai will immediately send people to supervise the distribution of food. If there is corruption and enriches one's pockets, you will be severely punished."

Wei Zheng scoffed and said, "I obey the order."

Li Jiancheng said: "My dear friends, is there anything else that needs to be discussed?"

Chen Ying stood up suddenly and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to resign from the post of Minister Zuo Pushe."

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Li Jiancheng frowned suddenly.

The ministers broke up unhappy,

Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng, dressed in ordinary clothes, sat on both sides of the desk respectively.

Chen should raise a cup and invite Li Jiancheng to drink together.

Chen Ying pulled the dish in front of Li Jiancheng to his face and began to chew.

Li Jiancheng pointed at Chen Ying with a smile and said, "You boy, are you going to kill the pick? Let me be alone in the front to deal with the gang of elite Guanlong clan?"

Chen Ying curled his lips and said with a sarcasm on his face, "You really don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk. I am the No. You really can't find someone to do things that offend people, and I bit the bullet and rushed to take the blame. Now that the dust has settled on several major events, it's time for me to retreat behind the scenes."

Li Jiancheng angrily put the wine cup on the case table and said: "When things are difficult, no one is afraid of offending others, and no one is willing to stand up to do things. Only you and Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling does not avoid suspicion, and is not afraid. Resistance, stand up and do things. Now that things are done, the heroes will give up their positions to those who dare not do things. What kind of bullshit rules is this? I don’t care what other emperors do, anyway, I will never will do."

Chen Ying paused while holding the chopsticks, raised his head to look at Li Jiancheng, put away his laughing expression, and said solemnly: "Da Lang, you are not a prince anymore, you are an emperor, you have to look like an emperor... What's more, the Turkic issue should be resolved, you can't let me take part in the Northern Expedition in the name of Shang Shu Zuo Pushe?"

……

Shangshu province is already empty.

Fang Xuanling was still under the candlelight, concentrating on classifying and sorting out the documents and memorials.

Holding a candle, Gao Shilian walked to Fang Xuanling and sat down. Seeing that Fang Xuanling was still very busy, he put down the candlestick and helped Fang Xuanling sort the documents.

After a long time, Gao Shilian sighed and said, "Xuanling, now that several major events have come to the fore, you should also resign from this hot post of Shangshu Youcheng."

Fang Xuanling glanced at Gao Shilian, and while continuing to work, he smiled and said, "Why?"

Gao Shilian said earnestly: "I am doing this for your own good. I have already written the seal, please resign as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. For more than a year, Wei Zheng, you, and I have brought the world's aristocratic families, civil and military officials, and The family members surnamed Li have been offended many times, now that the matter is done, it is time for us to retreat bravely..."

Fang Xuanling said in dissatisfaction: "Why? We have worked so hard, why should we retreat bravely?"

Gao Shilian choked for a moment, and said helplessly, "Since when did you start caring about your own achievements?"
