A few days later, above the main hall...
"The Holy One has a decree. If there is a break, it will be played early. If there is no break, he will withdraw from the court~~" Zhang Rang shouted in a voice like a broken gong.
"Your Majesty, I have something to do: I heard that the Xianbei people in the north are planning to rebel. I think that I can send an envoy quickly to persuade them, and send another strong general to guard the pass in case of unexpected events. This can protect the country from worries, and the people of the world can be safe. , I hope your Majesty will learn from it." Tingwei Chen Qiu came out and said, and then presented the memorial.
"Well, that's very good. I will send Chen Tingwei to handle this matter personally." Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said.
"Your Majesty is wise, long live long live~" Chen Qiu rapped nine times three times.
"Your Majesty, it is the season of severe drought. The people have no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat. Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes can be reduced as appropriate to calm the people's minds." Taiwei Li Ying went out to present the memorial.
Hearing this, Zhang Rang sneered and retorted: "I am a big man with thousands of miles of fertile land and abundant people. How come I have so little food and clothing? It's really a joke."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said: "Li Aiqing, why do you say this?"
"Your Majesty has lived in the palace for a long time and was deceived by the female eunuchs. Now the world is in the season of severe drought, and the grain output per acre is less than half of last year. Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been increased to use the money and manpower wasted by Your Majesty in building the Deyang Palace. The people are in dire straits. , it is unspeakable suffering. I hope your majesty will be careful and never repeat the mistakes of Shang Zhou! I have the courage to risk my own life to remonstrate. The matter of Deyang Palace must be postponed for a while, hoping that the Holy Spirit can provide a clear warning." Li Ying held the memorial in his hand and cried to the ground. .
All the civil and military officials present shook their heads and sighed.
"Bold madman, what the Holy One has done, you, Lieutenant Li, are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks." Zhang Rang had always been at odds with Li Ying, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, so he took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, these evil words are confusing the people. People should be killed quickly!".
Emperor Han Ling hesitated and said: "This..."
He Jin looked straight at Zhang Rang and said, "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Li has made many contributions to the country. This time he spoke out and committed the crime out of consideration for the country. However, there are some people who, on the surface, are loyal to the country and try their best, but secretly have secret relationships. The forces have evil intentions."
Zhang Rang looked at He Jin and said angrily: "You~!"
He Jin snorted softly, turned his head, and stopped looking at Zhang Rang. He was the leader of Qingliu and Waiqin's forces, so no one was afraid of him.
Situ Yuan Wei suddenly said: "Two adults, please calm down. It is a fact that there is a severe drought in the world today, and it is also a fact that many people have bitter grievances. The saint's benevolence has spread all over the world. At this time, we should be more considerate of people's livelihood. Kuang Deyang Palace and There is no rush for now, I hope that Your Majesty will put the country first, think about the common people, and not abolish public service for selfish reasons."
All civil and military officials nodded in agreement.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also nodded and said: "Well, what Yuan Aiqing said is true. The matter of Deyang Palace will be postponed for a while, and I will pass on my decree to reduce taxes slowly to bring peace to the people. Li Ying dared to commit the crime, and his crime should be punished. He should be punished." The country has made great contributions, so I will avoid death. I will be demoted to one rank and my salary will be reduced for three months. Okay, I am tired too, so please retreat."
"Long live Long live Long live……"
"I have one more thing to report," Yuan Wei said.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Yuan Wei paused and said: "Your Majesty, I... I don't know whether to say it or not."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly."
Yuan Wei said sadly: "It is said that Her Royal Highness the Princess has brought my grandson into the palace..." There was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while.
Duan Gui's face tightened, and he thought to himself: Didn't this damn old man promise not to shake me out?
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty glanced at Duan Gui, who had his head lowered. He leaned aside and whispered to Zhang Rang, "Father Rang, is this something?"
Zhang Rang smiled, thinking that even if the boy was under house arrest in the palace, he would be able to threaten the Yuan family, so he leaned into Emperor Ling's ear and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that the princess has always been lively, but recently she has been very active." Convergence must be..."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had always had a headache for the princess's willfulness, and at the same time he was extremely fond of him. After hearing Zhang Rang's words, he already had some thoughts in his heart: "Haha, I have heard about this, Yuan Aiqing doesn't need to worry too much. You, Sun, I love her very much. , and allow us to stay a little longer.”
Yuan Wei's eyes showed embarrassment: "This... foolish grandson is still young in life. I'm afraid he will offend the princess. I can't bear it."
"It doesn't matter." Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty stood up, looked at the chattering crowd below, and then said, "Let's do this. Considering Yuan's contribution, I will make Yuan Xi the prince. Well, that's it!"
Yuan Wei hesitated and said, "This
, I'm afraid it's not in line with etiquette! "
Ling Emperor Long Yan was slightly angry: "What objections do you have, dear sirs?"
For a moment, there was silence in the lobby.
Zhang Rang said quickly: "Retreat~~Chao~~"
In this way, Emperor Taizong Xuanwu and Yuan Xi became a prince in the end of Han Dynasty because of Wannian Princess Liu Yan.
Of course, Emperor Ling also had the intention to contain the Yuan family to prevent He Jin from joining forces with the Yuan family. He was faint but not stupid.
