"You are Yunchu"
A voice came from behind. Yun Chu turned around and saw a dark old man with a square face. This man has thick bones. At first glance, he thought he was an old farmer. But looking at his eyes, he knew he was an official, a very big and powerful official.
Officials actually smell like books. Some officials smell like books. Some officials smell like copper. Some people also smell like rouge. This is the first time for Yun Chu to smell like the official in front of him who smells of earth. Got to see. So he slowly raised his hands and said, "That's right."
As soon as this man who smelled of earth came out, the officials who were standing there waiting to enter the palace immediately dispersed. They may be afraid that blood would be spattered on them. "A certain family, Liu Rengui, your Wannian County occupation of our land in Lantian County will be resolved today."
Yun Chu retorted, "You, the people of Lantian County, don't know how to cherish such a good land. Why don't we, the people of Wannian County, use it to grow some vegetables and food?" Liu Rengui looked at Yun Chu calmly and said, "You have crossed the line." .
Yunchu sneered and said: "This is our territory of the Tang Dynasty. What about crossing the border? If Wannian County is on the border of the Tang Dynasty, do you believe that I will take the boundary monument of Wannian County to the ends of the earth?" Liu Ren track: "As an official of the Tang Dynasty, you must abide by the minimum rules and not be unscrupulous." Yunchu laughed and said: "As long as the people of my Wannian County have enough food and clothing, I don't care what your Lantian County looks like." "After listening to Yunchu's words, Liu Rengui's childishness seemed to be slowly getting smaller, and he said every word: "This is the work of a single man. Yun Chu said: "After the people of Lantian County enter Wannian County, I will naturally treat the people of Lantian like brothers."
If you feel unhappy, you can manage your Lantian County well and don't let them sneak to Chang'an. Also, I heard that you killed a Zhechong Captain. Now, you can try to see if you can kill him. I"
Liu Rengui frowned and said, "Are you still unwilling to give up your dominance over this land?" Yun Chu shook his official robe and said, "Since you don't cherish the land, what's wrong with letting the people who cherish the land cultivate it?" Liu Rengui laughed contemptuously. Said: "Insolent and rude. '
After saying that, this guy stopped entangled with Yun Chu. When he saw the palace door opened, he strode into the palace gate and accepted the inspection.
Nowadays, when officials of the Tang Dynasty go to court, few of them carry ceremonial swords. However, Yun Chu has a Tang sword stuck on his waist, standing among the officials, which is very eye-catching. Huangmen, who was in charge of inspecting the officials entering the palace, frowned and said, "Why do you wear a ceremonial sword?" Yunchu said with a smile, "It will be used for a fight later. "Who are you fighting with?"
Yun Chu pointed at the back of Liu Rengui who was retreating and said, "Liu Rengui."
Huang Men was also an interesting person. He took away Yunchu's ceremonial sword and pointed to the spinning board on his waist with great experience: "When fighting in the court, you usually use the spinning board. If you use a knife, you will be stabbed by the palace guards." Hacked to death."
When Huang Men said this, the palace guards standing on both sides of the palace gate couldn't help but puff up their chests, as if they felt that Huang Men's words couldn't be more correct. Yun Chu waved the ivory wat tablet in his hand along the way, and followed Wen Wen who kept rolling his eyes into the Tai Chi Palace.
The Taiji Palace is very large, and the palaces are one after another. However, there are so many officials who come to court that Yun Chu and Wen Wen can only stand outside. When the cold wind blows, they are all as cold as dogs. tremble.
"Why can he go in?" Yun Chu pointed at Liu Rengui's back and asked Wen Rou.
Wen Wen sighed and said: "A sixth-grade censor is already very impressive, so of course he can enter the main hall.
As he spoke, he took out two teacups from his sleeves and placed them on Danqi. He also took out a teapot with a cotton cover, poured hot tea into the teacups and said to Yunchu, "Drink some ginger tea to warm yourself up. "Yunchu took a sip of ginger tea. It tasted good. It also had icing sugar added. It was sweet with the spiciness of shredded ginger. One sip made people feel comfortable all over. "You brought a teapot and teacup with you to court."
"My ancestor took this thing with him when he went to court. Later, when he could enter the palace and have a fire dragon to keep warm, he passed it on to my grandpa who could only stay outside the palace and suffer from the cold like us. Later, my grandpa also Now that I can enter the hall, I will naturally pass this thing on to me. When I can enter the hall and avoid the cold, I will pass this thing on to other brothers in our family who still need to be cold."
"How many people from your family are in this hall?"
"Originally there were five. Later, when my ancestor got older, he usually stopped coming to court. Now, there are four." Yun Chu smashed Qiu Ba admiringly and said, "That's great."
He smiled softly and said: "From now on, you will have one child a year for ten years. If you find that the first child is not very satisfactory, you can quickly change your wife and give birth to another child. You will continue to have children for twenty years until you reach the age and status of my ancestor." At that time, maybe a few people from your family could enter the main hall to keep warm.
Take your time, don't rush, we are still young.
Yun Chu looked around and found that what Wen Wen said made sense. There were so many petty officials standing on the Danqi, just like there were not many as young as him and Wen Wen. Standing in the cold wind, Yun Chu fantasized for a while about the glorious scene of the whole hall filled with the Yun family, when he was bumped by Wen Wen on the shoulder.
"Listen to Liu Rengui's voice."
Yun Chu quickly pricked up his ears and listened attentively, but he couldn't hear clearly. However, what Liu Rengui was talking about was not the dispute between Lantian County and Wannian County, but about the recent rumors about the royal family in Chang'an market.
Liu Rengui accused the emperor of being too benevolent and allowing things in the palace to be tampered with and exaggerated by the people, thereby damaging the royal family's face. He also begged the emperor to manage everyone in the palace well, and not to let the strict palace confinement of the Tang Dynasty become a broken wall with holes through which any wind could spread.
Not only that, this tough-headed man also accused Zhao Guogong's eldest son, Sun Wuji, of not strictly enforcing the laws as an internal minister, and was even suspected of having a corpse on top of him, which led to the emperor almost encountering misfortune in Jiucheng Palace.
Yun Chuchao looked at Wen Wen who also had a look of fear on his face.
At this moment, both of them understood that the magistrate of Lantian County, who usually had no chance to go to court, took the opportunity of a lawsuit with Wannian County to come to the court to help Li Zhifenyou solve his problem. It was not until this moment that Yun Chu and Wen Wen knew that Li Zhi had never given up on the investigation of Helan's death. The reason why he was so calm during this period was probably because he was waiting for this man named Liu Rengui to find an opportunity. Going to Beijing. Liu Rengui's voice became louder and louder. Even though the censor thought that he had lost his bearings in front of the palace, he even scolded the censor in front of the palace, "The person being scolded is my second uncle." Wen Wenwen whispered. "Isn't this man worried about being killed by Duke Zhao?" If he can't be killed, Liu Rengui is a minister left by Emperor Taizong to your majesty today. This is why he is already a sixth-rank official and a county magistrate. During the period of Emperor Taizong I have been suppressing this person all the time, just to leave the favor of promoting Liu Rengui to the current majesty.
It seems that the time has come for Liu Rengui to get promoted and make a fortune.
Sure enough, when Yunchu was half frozen to death, the eunuch Duanhong's feminine voice sounded in the hall. Liu Rengui was promoted from the sixth-rank Lantian County Magistrate to the fifth-rank Chang'an County Magistrate. This is nothing. The Chang'an County Magistrate is only part-time, and his job has actually become one of the four ministers in the province, and he is specifically responsible for reviewing the seals and refutations of imperial edicts. If you have any objections, you can directly revise and refute it and return the edict. If you have no objections, it will be sealed and reviewed by senior officials under the sect before being handed over to the Shangshu Province for execution. There is also the power to review and review the memorials sent to the emperor by all the yamen in the world, to check if there are any mistakes, and then to correct them before submitting them to the emperor.
In the Tang Dynasty, as long as they did not commit any crime, 70% of those who had held the official position of Goshizhong became prime ministers.
After listening carefully to the voices coming from the main hall, Wen Wenwen whispered to Yun Chu: "We can conquer that land or forget it. We really can't defeat it." Yun Chu said with a smile: "Since he is no longer the magistrate of Lantian County , why should we give up? Since he is going to be the magistrate of Chang'an County, you see, from now on, only he will beg us, and I will not beg him. We have to decide on the land we dominate. Wen Wenwen said worriedly, "This is too much." Are you optimistic?”
Before he finished speaking, a eunuch came out with a fly whisk and said loudly: "Xuanwannian County Wei Yunchu entered the palace." Wen Wenwen trembled when he heard this and said: "It's not shameful to bow your head to the new one." "
Yun Chu looked around at the large group of officials who were gloating over the misfortune, and followed the eunuch into the main hall for the first time. After being led by the eunuch to the place where he was being punished in the middle of the hall, Yun Chu held the wat tablet and bowed down to pay homage to the emperor.
Yun Chu liked the fact that there was no need to kneel down in the Tang Dynasty court, so he held the wat board and said loudly: "I, Wannian County Lieutenant Yun Chu, have an audience with my emperor."
Li Zhi, who was wearing an emperor's hat, was completely different from Li Zhi who usually had a bare head. The beads hanging down from the hat blocked his eyes, but it did not prevent him from seeing the courtiers' expressions through the gaps in the beads.
"Tell me, why did you occupy the land in Lantian County and beat the Lantian County captain?'
There was no emotion in Li Zhi's voice, like an emotionless talking machine.
"Wei Chen saw that the land in Bashang was idle and felt it was a pity. Wannian County has always been short of land. In order to make Wannian County self-sufficient in food, Wei Chen naturally sent people to cultivate it." Li Zhi was obviously attracted by Yun Chu. This kind of rhetoric stunned Liu Rengui for a moment, and Liu Rengui, who had just had a verbal battle with the Confucian scholars, immediately said: "Where did you pass the law to the imperial court, how can you act so wantonly?" Yunchu raised his head and glanced at Liu Rengui: "Even if it's There was some spare land on the royal fields, and the common people planted a few rows of vegetables, planted a few beans, and planted some mulberries and hemp. I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had never investigated it, nor had I heard of those common people being captured.
Why is it different in Lantian County?
It's just some open space in the mountains and forests, and the idle land next to the tombs. If the people want to plant more food and vegetables, why not?
If you still work in Lantian County, you use government servants to beat and drive the people like cattle and horses. I would like to ask Magistrate Liu, is this Lantian County still our land of the Tang Dynasty? Why can’t the people of the Tang Dynasty plant crops on the open land?
If your Lantian County is not our territory of the Tang Dynasty, tomorrow the county captain will order all the government officials and civilians to expand the territory of our Datang Dynasty.
