Perhaps it was because he saw that the crying complaints of several of his colleagues did not win the sympathy of the court ministers.
Or maybe he was anxious because of Xiao Lizi's casual attitude.
From the sixth rank, the lower animal husbandry supervisor Zheng Yanglin lay on the ground and shouted the words above at the top of his lungs!
Afterwards, everyone in the hall was shocked!
Even the officials who had been crying non-stop just now closed their mouths, turned back and looked at Yang Lin in surprise.
"Who is this person?"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned at this time. He stopped picking his nostrils involuntarily. With his carrot-thick finger still inserted in his nostrils, others turned around impatiently and asked about the origins of Niu Jinda beside him. .
"Keep your paws away!"
Beside him, Niu Jinda looked at Cheng Yaojin with a look of disgust, and then moved his whole body to the side. After he felt that he was at a safe enough distance from the dirty old man, he replied angrily. : "He is Zheng Yanglin, the pastoral supervisor under Chang'an! When I was the director of the logistics battalion, I often saw him!"
"Shepherd prison? Horse breeder?" Hearing Niu Jinda's explanation, Cheng Yaojin's face twitched violently a few times, and he finally pulled out his carrot-thick finger from his nostril, but it seemed that there was still something on it. Carrying a black mass on his head.
"Did he make himself stupid by facing those beasts every day?! If he doesn't feed the horses well, why would he come to the court?" With a flick of his finger, the unknown object flew to the opposite team of civil servants. Cheng Yaojin continued to chase Niu Jinda and asked.
When Niu Jinda saw Cheng Yaojin's action, his eyes almost rolled over. Before Lao Cheng could touch him with his finger, he quickly took a step back and said, "Nonsense! I was drinking with him at that time. , I heard that his mother-in-law is from Lingnan, she seems to be some kind of concubine from Nanyi Mansion. You said that something happened to his father-in-law’s family this time, and if he doesn’t help, who will!”
"Oh~"
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin finally understood the twists and turns here, and his big, unshaven mouth suddenly grinned from ear to ear: "Hahaha, this uncle can handle it! He really does it when something happens to the father-in-law's family! But this kind of thing How dare he say it in front of His Majesty? Should I say that he has a grudge against my father-in-law? Or is there a grudge?!"
Yes, just as Cheng Yaojin thought.
If another person listened to Yang Lin's words, there would probably be no problem!
But the problem now is: he is in the court, the court of the Tang Dynasty! And the person sitting in front of him was not a cowardly landlord, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who had a universal mind and swallowed up the sun and the moon!
Xiao Han knew a long time ago that the emperor was a very strange creature!
It can accept suggestions, it can accept criticism, it can even accept scolding! But there is only one thing that is absolutely unacceptable!
That's the threat!
Now Yang Lin's words sounded like a threat to the emperor's ears!
What does Lingnan folk custom mean?
What does it mean to set up government offices to use barbarians to control barbarians?
All the land in the world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are all the ministers of the king! Why do I need your help to manage my world?
Well, even if I am too busy, I will leave you in charge for the time being. How come you can't control it after destroying several of your broken yards? Giving up your choice? Just let the natives under your rule rebel?
Without you, Butcher Zhang, would I still be able to eat pigs with hair on them?
"Haha, haha...haha..."
Sure enough, after a period of extremely depressing silence, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly burst into laughter. His heroic laughter seemed to make the curtains in the hall tremble!
However, the whole hall was silent and only Li Shimin laughed. This scene was a bit too weird!
"you!"
For a long time, when the ministers' hairs stood on end, Li Shimin's laughter finally subsided. He gently clasped the handle on the dragon chair with his fingers and asked casually, "What's your name?"
"Your Majesty, I'm going to supervise Yang Lin, the shepherd supervisor!" Yang Lin also realized something was wrong at this time! But the words had been spoken, and now he was riding a tiger, unable to get off, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and state his name.
"Yang Lin?" Li Shimin raised his eyelids after hearing this: "If I remember correctly, you should be in the eastern suburbs pasture, right?"
"Yes, I have been at the ranch in the eastern suburbs in recent years!" Yang Lin had big drops of sweat on his forehead. When he heard Li Shimin's question, he hurriedly replied with trembling lips.
"Oh, it's at the Eastern Suburb Ranch!" Li Shimin's eyes gradually turned cold, and then he asked word by word: "Then how did you learn about Lingnan?!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" Yang Lin was shocked. He was speechless for a long time, and then he made up his mind and kowtowed heavily: "I dare not hide it from Your Majesty! I am a native of Lingnan, so I have always exchanged letters with Lingnan, so I am more fond of him. familiar!"
"We have correspondence with Lingnan!" Li Shimin nodded noncommittally again.
Just when Yang Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Li Shimin slam his chair, stood up and shouted angrily: "Then in the letters you exchanged, did you tell you why the three mansions were destroyed by the people? Letters Zhong Yougao didn't tell you what was found in the three destroyed mansions!"
"This..." Yang Lin was completely frightened by Li Shimin's furious appearance, and his body was shaking like chaff!
As a relative of Nanyi Mansion, it is impossible for him to know nothing about what his father-in-law did! I was still a bit lucky, thinking that the sky in Lingnan was high and the emperor was far away, so Xiao Lizi would not know about those things and would not care about it, but now it seems that he was wrong, and he was very wrong!
"It's over, it's over! How could I be so captivated by the old woman's words last night? I agreed to her in a daze? If I had known that His Majesty was so concerned about this matter, let alone three Nanyang beauties, even ten, I would I don’t dare to take this job!”
Yang Lin, who was kneeling on the ground, had countless thoughts flashing through his mind. But is there any regret medicine in this world that can be taken? No!
Therefore, he could only watch the angry Li Shimin sweep a large number of memorials and letters off the desk. Countless pieces of paper scattered like snowflakes, and some of them floated far away and landed on Yang Lin's body. forward.
"Nineteen secret rooms were found in Xunfu Courtyard! Four men and eight women were imprisoned in them! Countless gold and silver!"
"In Nan Yi Mansion, there are more than a hundred boxes of treasures that have not yet been taken away. They are all hidden in the tunnels! Among the treasures, there are also treasures paid tribute by foreign countries!"
"In June of the third year of Zhenguan, the fleet received a message and went north to snipe the ships of Yangzhou Trading Company! They met at sea, and after a fight, no one on the other side was spared! Because all the cargo of the hijacked ships were silk, Onodera, who went to sea with him, offered them silver In exchange, the Xun Mansion received one hundred thousand silver, and the Nan Yi Mansion received sixty thousand silver..."
