"You don't want to spout blood." Zhao Yi said angrily: "You were the one who hurt me first, and then hit you. I was just defending. Why did I hit you first?"

Commander Duan looked at the stall owner on the ground, then turned his head to look up and down Zhao Yi, and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Yi, why is it you again..."

Zhao Yi explained: "Commander Duan, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, okay..." Commander Duan waved his hands helplessly, "I'm too lazy to listen to your explanation, you can go now, don't cause trouble for me."

"Thank you Commander Duan for making the rescue." Zhao Yi saluted, then turned and left.

"Hey, stop for me." The stall owner jumped up from the ground, "Commander Duan, that guy ran away, you should stop him!"

Commander Duan looked at him, and said coldly, "What? I still need you to give me instructions on how this Commander will do things."

"This..." The stall owner was dumbfounded by Commander Duan, who didn't expect him to defend Zhao Yi, "Small... I dare not..."

"Do your business honestly, don't make troubles again, or the commander will arrest you and bring you to the county government."

"Idle people, don't watch here, and retreat quickly."

Commander Duan put down his words, dismissed the crowd of onlookers, and led them away.

The stall owner was left alone in a mess in the wind.

"Hey, I thought there was a fight, but I didn't expect the commander of the patrol battalion to be quite reasonable." Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said thoughtfully.

Li Shimin glared at him, and said quietly: "Do you think that all the officials of the Tang Dynasty are bullying the market and people from the fish and meat village?"

"Hehe..." Cheng Yaojin smiled awkwardly, "I...I didn't mean that."

Chapter 568 If I Don't Kill All These Scumbags, I Will Not Be Called Li Shimin

Wei Zheng said from the side: "Second Master, let's catch up quickly, and ask that Zhao Yi, what happened and how did he end up in this situation."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Zhijie, follow him..."

a little while...

In a dark alley, the three of Li Shimin blocked Zhao Yi inside.

Zhao Yi frowned, looked at the three of them vigilantly, and said in a deep voice: "Three gentlemen, I don't know what enmity I have with you, please express it clearly."

"There is no grievance between us." Cheng Yaojin said carelessly, "It's just that my second master simply wants to treat you to a bowl of wine, I wonder if Brother Zhao can show you some face."

"Bring me a drink?" Zhao Yi showed doubts, and said in a deep voice: "You will not be rewarded for your merits, so please forgive me for not obeying my orders."

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't rush to refuse, my second master would like to ask you to help write a paper..."

"Heh..." Zhao Yi sneered, "You three are dressed in bright clothes, not in white clothes, so why would you ask me to write the pleadings for you? If you have something to say, you should just speak it out, and don't go around in circles here."

"Tsk!" Cheng Yaojin clicked his tongue and said, "I really deserve to be Lord Shangguan's disciple, I, old Cheng, really can't fool you."

Wei Zheng who was on the side interjected: "Mr. Zhao Xiaolang, we are friends of your master Shangguanyi. We came to Fengyang City for a cloud tour this time and happened to meet you, so I would like to ask you to move on."

Hearing Shangguanyi's name, Zhao Yi's eyes were obviously moved, could it be: "Master...Master, this disciple is embarrassing for you."

……

Fengyang City...

Bapin Building...

Tianzi Hall...

Zhao Yi sat opposite Li Shimin, a little restrained.

"Zhao Yi, I am a close friend with your master Shangguanyi. I heard that he wrote you a letter of recommendation last year to work in the Hongwen Museum. Why did you end up in this situation?"

Li Shimin looked at the handsome Zhao Yi after washing his face and asked.

"Alas..." Zhao Yi sighed, and said sadly: "To tell the truth, the master did indeed give me a recommendation letter for going to the Hongwen Museum, and it has been kept with me."

"But although I, Zhao Yi, am not talented, I want to pass the imperial examination to prove myself and win some face for my master. How can I make a fool of others and lose my name to Sun Shan, so I hide in Fengyang City and spend the rest of my life smuggled away..."

As Zhao Yi said, his words were a bit sad, and ambition is hard to pay off.

"Famous to Sun Shan?" Wei Zheng showed doubts, he was very puzzled, "You are a teacher of Shangguan, and you are both civil and military. It shouldn't be difficult to pass the exam. How could you lose your name to Sun Shan?"

Shangguanyi is a well-known master in the world, if he can write a recommendation letter to Zhao Yi, it proves that Zhao Yi must have real skills.

"That's because I once wrote a letter to an old farmer in Xuzhou to sue the prefect of Xuzhou City, and this prefect happened to be one of the examiners of Qiuwei in Shangzhou. Do you think I can win this exam?"

Hearing this, the three of Li Shimin remained silent. They did not expect Zhao Yi to have such a tortuous story.

"Even so, you can go to Lord Shangguan, how can he ignore you?" Cheng Yaojin doubted: "You will not be reduced to this level."

"You don't know that the reason why the master has been working in the Hongwen Museum is because he is bothered by various activities in the officialdom." Zhao Yi lowered his head and said: "Knowing that the master doesn't like it, how can a disciple embarrass him because of his own private affairs?" Master."

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was speechless for a while, "You literati are so troublesome in doing things. You have to think about messy things when you do things. I, old Cheng, can't bear it."

However, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng could understand Zhao Yi's thoughts.

Paused...

Li Shimin pondered and said: "Let's not talk about your failure, let's talk about the paper first, what mistakes did the eunuch make, and what kind of certificate did the old farmer ask you to write."

The purpose of Li Shimin's private visit in Weibo is to see the corruption hidden under the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and to see how to clean up the officialdom more clearly.

Zhao Yi picked up the wine cup in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know if the second master still has any memories of the severe drought in Henan Province in the second year of Zhenguan."

Maybe this matter has been suppressed in Zhao Yi's heart for too long, so he confided his heart in front of Li Shimin without the slightest hesitation.

"I have an impression, and I have a deep impression." Li Shimin lowered his eyes and said: "At that time, the drought caused several states in the Henan Province to starve and starve to death. Even the bark on the road was eaten clean and died I don't know how many people there are."

Mentioning this matter, Li Shimin felt compassion in his heart.

This is his dereliction of duty as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Yi lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The drought is terrible, but the things after the drought are even more terrible..."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of Li Shimin and Wei Zheng.

"How do you say that?" Wei Zheng asked impatiently.

This is the first time they have heard this kind of words.

Zhao Yi picked up the wine cup and drank another cup, saying quietly.

"During a drought, the most valuable thing is human life. For a bowl of porridge, the victims will do anything, but this cannot be blamed on them. People who are hungry and dizzy are already thinking abnormally."

"Some officials deliberately took advantage of the mentality of the victims, colluded with local landlords, and exchanged cheap grain for the fields in the hands of the common people. With a bucket of grain, they can empty the land in a common people's home."

"These officials and landlords know that sooner or later the imperial court will take measures, the drought will pass sooner or later, and the Henan Road will return to normal sooner or later, and by that time, they have already accumulated countless good fields in their hands, and these people will once again become tenants in their hands , being exploited by the landlords."

After the words fell, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were really taken aback. They didn't expect these officials and landlords to be so frenzied.

Such tricks can be imagined.

Wei Zheng asked suspiciously: "Didn't the imperial court prohibit the sale of land long ago? No one is allowed to buy and sell the land in the hands of self-cultivating farmers by any means."

"Yes, the imperial court does have regulations, but the imperial court only stipulates that buying and selling are not allowed, but it does not stipulate that leasing is not allowed."

There was a wry smile in Zhao Yi's eyes, "The land lease contract they signed with the disaster victims has a time limit of 100 years, 100 years!"

"Is there anyone who can live to be a hundred years old..."

At this time, Zhao Yi's words were full of helplessness.

"You said this, can I ignore it? Although I know that it is difficult to change this matter with my own ability, but some things have to be done by someone, and someone has to make sacrifices. I would rather this person is I."

Zhao Yi's eyes were firm, and he spoke loudly.

"Lease for 100 years!" Cheng Yaojin couldn't believe it, and said angrily, "How can these people be so bad? How is this different from those powerful landlords who annexed the land?"

"Are they so fond of playing with the common people?"

boom!

Li Shimin slapped the table angrily, "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"

"My Tang Dynasty still has such despicable officials, what a misfortune for the world, misfortune for the Tang Dynasty!"

"If I don't kill all these bastards, I won't be called Li Shimin!"

Chapter 569 Establishing an Intelligence Agency

Zhao Yi was startled by Li Shimin's words.

I?

Li Shimin?

What kind of second master is this? This is Li Er, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

And this old Cheng and old Wei, this is clearly Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng.

Zhao Yi hurriedly stood up, at a loss, "Cao... Caomin didn't know that the second master was His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will forgive Caomin's crime of disrespect."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said softly: "Zhao Yi, get up quickly. It is a blessing for the common people to have a broad-minded, benevolent and righteous man like you in Datang."

"I didn't expect that the heavens have eyes, and let me meet you at the first stop of this micro-service private visit. This trip is really worthwhile."

At this time, Li Shimin admired Zhao Yi very much, and he loved talents in his heart.

If a person with such ability and insight cannot enter the court as an official, it would be a loss to Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Li Shimin felt fortunate that if he hadn't tried his best to resist the public opinion, he would not have seen such a wonderful program.

Although Zhao Yi heard all this from his mouth, he believed that it was definitely not groundless, and there must be some unknown secrets in it.

Li Shimin looked at him and murmured: "Zhao Yi, would you like to go to Xuzhou with me, so that I can see for myself how many good things this Xuzhou city prefect has done secretly."

"By the way, help those people who are oppressed by the landlord's tyranny, complain!"

Now that he has understood the whole story, Li Shimin still wants to go to Xuzhou to have a look and investigate the matter thoroughly.

Zhao Yi showed joy, and kept nodding, "Caomin is willing to go."

He is not a procrastination person. He has long disliked these corrupt officials, but he has been suffering from nowhere before.

Now with the backing of Li Shimin, he is bound to bring down these corrupt officials.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin turned his head to Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Zheng, write a letter to Fang Xuanling immediately, and ask him to ask the prince for an order and go to Xuzhou. If Zhao Yi's words are true, when he arrives in Xuzhou, those corrupt officials will be punished directly." Corrupt officials and landlords are powerful."

Wei Zheng responded, "This humble minister takes orders."

After eating, the three of them took Zhao Yi to the city to pick out two outfits, took some dry food and set off.

Li Shimin wished he could put on a pair of wings and fly directly to Xuzhou City.

……

at the same time.

Li Chengqian, who was far away in Chang'an City, had just left the early court.

A sound came from the system suddenly.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the system task, going to the southern border, destroying the Jieri Kingdom, and rewarding the "Mohist Crossbow? Hummingbird" for making blueprints. The rewards have been distributed to the host space, please pay attention to check. "

"Ding! System task: establish an intelligence agency, set up an intelligence team, reward: "Xiaoyan Pill. "Make a prescription, and after completing the task, the reward will be automatically distributed to the host space."

"The host can refuse, and there is no penalty for refusing."

Li Chengqian muttered to himself, "Accept."

From this point of view, it must be Changsun Wuji who has made substantial progress on the Ring Day.

With a vast territory, a large population, and complex relationships among various ministries, it is indeed not an easy task to deal with the government affairs of the Ritual.

Especially Jieri Xijiang, and the Dashi Empire are eyeing.

Now Li Chengqian is relying entirely on deterrence. If the Dashi Empire insists on invading the western border, it may be difficult to defend it with Murong Huayun alone.

However, Olia also has some abilities, and should be able to provide a lot of effective help to Changsun Wuji and Murong Huayun.

"Qin Feng, follow me out of the city and go to Mo Zong." Li Chengqian dropped the memorial in his hand and said.

"Go...to Mozong?" Qin Feng said in surprise, "But Your Highness, you haven't finished approving this memorial yet..."

"There's no need to worry about writing the memorial. It's just a trivial matter. I'll send it to the Ministry of Education and let them deal with it."

Li Chengqian said, jumped off the futon in two steps, and walked out of the hall.

Qin Feng smiled wryly and shook his head, and chased after him.
