Tang's dining table

Seeing the old palace man retreat, Li Zhi said to his personal eunuch Duan Hong: "What else did you find out?

Just now I saw you holding back your face until it turned red. You looked ugly when you wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it. Now you can say it. "

Duan Hong bent down and said, "What Wang Banban just said is right. If your Majesty wants the harem to be stable, you can't do it without killing a group of people."

Li Zhi rubbed his temples and said, "Is it troublesome?"

Duan Hong said: "It's just a mess, and this mess now has three rope ends, one is the Queen, one is Xiao Shufei, and one is Wu Zhaoyi. The slaves even suspect that there are rope ends lurking in the mess that we have not discovered."

Li Zhi snorted and said, "Don't you think the old man in Liangyi Palace can't be trusted? It's no big deal, just tell me."

Duan Hong gritted his teeth and said, "What happened in the palace in the morning spread throughout Chang'an City in the afternoon. Your Majesty, this is the result of the Queen's incompetence."

Li Zhi said impatiently: ‘Just tell me your answer. "

Duan Hong immediately got down on the ground and said, "Clean the palace ban."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "You're not going to kill people, don't you think that not enough people have died in the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty?

When my father entered the palace, he killed everyone with blood. When my mother reorganized the harem, she added countless innocent souls. My eldest brother rebelled and killed everyone in the east palace. When my second brother was reprimanded, Prince Wei died. It’s not like you don’t know how many people there are.

Last year, my uncle killed another 1,227 people because of Fang Yiai's incident.

Now, do you think it is appropriate for me to kill a lot of people in the palace?

You must know that since I came to the throne, I have not personally ordered a large number of killings. Even in the case of Muzhou's rebellion, I only ordered the first culprit to be punished and ignored the coercion.

I think we in the Tang Dynasty need to change our habit of killing people frequently.

This matter must first start with me. Benevolence and filial piety are the reason why I can ascend the throne, and it is also the basis for my future governance of the world.

Therefore, the matters in the palace must be resolved, but not by killing people. "

Duan Hong said quickly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to kill people to cleanse the palace. You can also let people out of the palace, as long as they leave the palace..."

Li Zhi rubbed his eyebrows and said, "You can retreat."

Duan Hong walked backwards and left the palace, leaving Li Zhi lying on his back on the bed, looking at the curtain without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yu Xiurong and Mrs. Cui gave the white and fat baby girl a careful bath. At the reminder of the servants at home, they carefully checked every inch of the child's skin. After making sure that the child was fine, they brought a handful of swaddling clothes. After the fire was burned out, they put on soft clothes and warm new swaddling clothes that they had sewn by themselves.

Seeing the child lying on the warm bed, hugging his feet and nibbling on them, both Yun Chu and Yu Xiurong liked this white and tender child.

Naha also liked it very much. She wanted to steal the child away and play with it several times, but was severely punished by Yu Xiurong several times.

She regrets now that she got a sister-in-law for herself. In the past, her brother would hit her harder at most in the first blow, and then it would get lighter and lighter, so that Naha was not afraid of her brother at all.

The sister-in-law is different, she really beats her. The most annoying thing is that every time after beating her, her sister-in-law cries as if she was being beaten. This makes Naha very irritated.

Her brother also refused to hug her anymore. It was her sister-in-law who refused to let her. She always said that when a girl grows up, she cannot be hugged by anyone, even her brother.

Only playing polo can make her happy. Unfortunately, after playing polo, her sister-in-law and Aunt Cui would tie her legs like rice dumplings with straps, saying they were afraid that she would grow a pair of bow legs. If you are not straight, you will not be able to marry a good husband.

Everything at home seems to be developing in the direction she hates the most.

Yun Chu was determined to use all the available land in Wannian County this winter.

Although Wu Hucao said that it was not a problem for the common people to occupy a little royal land for farming, Yunchu still went to the Young Mansion Prison again and again.

Shaoqing, the supervisor of the Shaofu Palace, was almost annoyed to death by Yun Chu. He had clearly told Yun Chu that if he planted a few rows of vegetables, planted a few beans, and planted some mulberries on the edge of the royal land, he would be able to If the royal land is not destroyed, the Shaofu Supervisor will not pay attention to these things.

These things can be done but not said, yet Yun Chu pestered him to get a document to allow him to do so.

When Wu Hucao started talking about this matter, Yun Chu just thought about it. After he saw the land that Wu Hucao mentioned could be cultivated, he felt like he wanted to take off the documents with his head bowed.

Because - more than half of the land in Wannian County belongs to the royal family, and more than 60% of more than half of the land is idle or semi-idle gardens and construction sites.

Among them, the place that made Yunchu salivate the most was Bashang.

This is a really nice place.

It is located in the commanding area east of Chang'an City, bordering Languan to the south, Bashui to the north, and overlooking Chang'an. The terrain is dangerous and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Starting from Duke Mu of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period, the military fortress "Ba City" was built on the Ba River.

After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were killed in rebellion, Liu Bang marched into Guanzhong and first occupied the foreign camp Ba Shang, forcing Qin Prince Ying to surrender without a fight. He summoned the Guanzhong elders in Ba Shang to announce the famous "Three Chapters of the Agreement".

After history entered the Tang Dynasty, this place became the residence of the dignitaries of Chang'an City after their deaths.

Large tracts of land were abandoned, but the roads were surprisingly smooth.

Yunchu wanted to plant fruit trees and cotton here, and since it was a good place surrounded by mountains, he could also grow vegetables on a large scale in a place called Bailuyuan.

It's a good idea, but it's a pity that the damn Lantian County Magistrate didn't agree. Even though Yun Chu promised him a lot of benefits, this bastard not only didn't agree, but instead sent the county captain to fight back the people Yun Chu sent to reclaim the wasteland.

That bastard county captain not only beat up people, but also captured two Wannian County chiefs alive and sent them to Yunchu in person to demand an explanation.

I want your sister’s explanation——

Yun Chu, who had a bad encounter with Shao Qing, the supervisor of the young master's office, was already in a bad mood. Now, someone tied up the chief under his command to ask him for an explanation.

So, he personally took action and beat the Lantian County Lieutenant to death several times under the pretext of martial arts competition.

It wasn't that Yun Chu was cruel. He just wanted to teach the county lieutenant a lesson and vent his anger on his subordinates. However, the county lieutenant was a standard Guanzhong man. After being knocked unconscious, he would jump up again as soon as he opened his eyes. Find Yunchu to continue the competition.

In the end, he was beaten so hard that he couldn't move, and he lay on the ground, pointed at Yun Chu's nose, and yelled curses, saying whatever was offensive to him.

The angry Yun Chu San Corpse God jumped up, blocked his mouth with a rag and threw it out. This guy actually lay at the gate of the Wannian County Government Office and refused to leave. He pointed at the County Government Office and cursed him non-stop for three whole days.

Because of this incident, Yunchu was sued by the local supervisory censor in Lantian County. Even Wenwen could not persuade the local supervisory censor to withdraw the memorial, and even threatened Wenwen that if Yunchu was not punished, The magistrate of Lantian County will lead his county officials to fight Yunchu to the death.

Therefore, for the first time in his life, Yun Chu appeared as a defendant at the Great Court Meeting of the Tang Dynasty.

According to the "Etiquette Order" cited in "Tang Huiyao": All civil and military officials in Beijing who are in the ninth rank or above will visit the Japanese court every day; their civil and military officials in the fifth rank or above, as well as the supervisory censor, Yuanwai Lang, and Dr. Taichang, will attend the dynasty every day.

This was the court system of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, that court meeting was not as grand as the court meeting on Yuan Day.

It's strange to say that Yunchu is a seventh-rank official. Logically speaking, he should go to court twice on the first and fifteenth day of each month. However, because he is an official in Wannian County and is a local official, he is not counted as a capital official. He never went to court.

Although he was going to court as a defendant, Yun Chu was about to go to court, but the Yun family was still in a state of panic.

The rooster had only crowd twice before Yun Chu was helped up by Yu Xiurong, who washed and put on his official uniform. Finally, amid the congratulations of the whole family, he rode a maroon horse from the small gate and went straight to the street.

Yun Chu did not take the Suzaku Avenue, but walked along the small streets of Fang City, a subsidiary of Wannian County.

Every time you pass a city, there are five bad guys standing guard at the intersection, waiting for the county captain to review.

Therefore, when Yunchu arrived at the imperial city, the place was already crowded with people.

Wen Wenwen has been waiting for Yun Chu for a long time. Although he is an eighth-rank official, he is already a veteran attending court meetings.

"Alas, you provoked the wrong person this time."

"Who did I mess with?"

"You offended Lantian County Magistrate Liu Rengui!"

"Liu Rengui?"

"Yes, you think you are very powerful, but you don't know that others are even more powerful. When you were the captain of Chencang County, you killed Zhechong Captain Lu Ning on the spot. Emperor Taizong was very angry at first, but after seeing Liu Rengui, not only did he not He punished him and also praised him.

Over the years, whenever the place is not quiet, he will be sent to be a county magistrate. Now he is a county magistrate of the sixth grade, but his identity as censor has been retained. This is why I can't intercept the memorial to impeach you. .

This man is a monster. In the past, we thought he was just a public official similar to Wei Zheng. Later, we discovered that this man was knowledgeable in civil affairs and military arts.

The reason why he became the magistrate of Lantian County was to wipe out several groups of bandits in the Qinling Mountains. Now the bandits were lured down the mountain by him and killed them all. They were originally going to serve in Menxia Province, now it's good, and you are good Go to hell to mess with him.

It's right to lower your head and admit your mistake when you go to court today. Your Majesty's trust in him is different from other officials. I heard that he needs to be re-employed.

Also, you killed the new officials in Chang'an County. "

Yunchu didn't care much about the dispute between Wannian County and Lantian County. Local frictions could never be avoided. As for the killing of Chang'an County officials, Yunchu felt baffled.

Brother Liuyan sighed again and said: "Prime Minister, Zuo Pushe, under Tong Zhongshu's door, the Prince and Grand Master, Duke of Yan State. The carriage of Yu Gong slipped on the ice, two horses overturned, and the carriage also turned sideways. , Poor, the few teeth in Yan Guogong's mouth are missing three more.

If the land of Wannian County is also full of ice and snow, this can only be regarded as an unnecessary disaster. Chang'an County is unlucky because there is no ice and snow in Wannian County, while Chang'an County is full of ice and snow..."
