In the room on the far left side of Yunde Building, Li Xuan stared at Cheng Zipu with a solemn expression.
Look up and down, inch by inch.
It wasn't until a moment later that Li Xuan walked to the round stool and sat down.
Looking sideways out of the window, there are light clouds floating in the sky under the bright sky.
"Cheng Jijiu, I have to admit that you did give me an unexpected surprise. I originally wanted to persuade you to terminate your engagement with the Liu family when you return, that's all. I didn't expect you to give me such a surprise. What a surprise, I was a little overwhelmed for a moment." Li Xuan laughed amusedly.
Li Xuan had already made up his mind about the marriage between the county school and the wealthy Liu family.
Last night, Li Xuan searched all the Liu family's relationship network in Dongyang.
County school teacher Cheng Zipu was Li Xuan's first target. However, before Li Xuan could take action, Cheng Zipu came to confess his crime.
No matter how true or false it is, it is a good thing after all. Although the original plan was disrupted, in the end, Cheng Zipu was just a part of Li Xuanyi's entire plan.
A carefully calculated point.
At the critical moment, other weights are thrown out step by step, and Cheng Zipu will become the spiral of life and death that finally crushes Liu Ji's heart.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Li Xuan turned to look at Cheng Zipu with a solemn expression.
"Xiaguan was transferred to Dongyang County ten years ago to teach wine worship. At that time, the Liu family was still young, but he was smart and diligent in learning. Xiaguan also tried his best to teach. His generation was tireless in learning and had amazing academic talent. Within a few years, he was far ahead of his peers, and even seemed to be catching up with his predecessors, so his subordinates began to teach him poetry..."
"But there is something wrong with his poems." Li Xuan asked lightly, but in fact he already understood it completely.
When dealing with people, there are always some things that you can't fake, so you have to write poetry.
Words are the voice of one's heart, and poems express one's aspirations.
Poetry is the easiest way to see people's nature, especially for the younger generation who don't have many cities yet.
This is the reason why Li Xuan did not write much poetry when he was young.
Under circumstances beyond his control, he would rather be a craftsman than a genius.
"Your Majesty, please take a look." Cheng Zipu took out a piece of folded paper from his body and lowered it towards Li Xuan.
When Li Xuan saw it, his expression immediately darkened.
They climb the city to fight with sincerity, and the city is filled with Gao cards and horse teeth.
Random arrows shot out of the nose, and smoke and dust were everywhere.
He drew his sword out of its sheath and beheaded the enemy general, while yellow flags filled the sky over the capital.
The white blades come out and no one can defeat them, and the willow branches divide the blood of the world.
The poem is not a good one, but with one line of yellow flags flying over the capital, and one line of willow branches dividing the blood of the world, it is clear what his heart is.
"Xiaoguan thought that he was young and talented, and when he first started to dabble in poetry, he would inevitably fall short, so he hoped to save his heart and could not bear to fall into decline. But the more he got to know him, he discovered how tenacious his heart was." At this point, , Cheng Zipu's face became more and more embarrassed: "After he was fourteen years old, Xiaguan suddenly discovered that he disappeared for a few months every year. His father said that he went abroad to study, but at that time, Xiaguan asked several counties around and found nothing. No one has ever seen him on a study tour..."
"He shouldn't lie to a teacher like you." Li Xuan nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please stand up."
Cheng Zipu then stood up and raised his hands to Li Xuan: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. In fact, the official did this because he had no choice but to do it. I don't know if he was aware of what he did, but he suddenly asked a matchmaker to propose to his daughter. , almost all the dignitaries in the city, and fellow wealthy families came to act as matchmakers. Xianguan wanted to resist the refusal, but one day he discovered that there was a sword outside... If Xianguan was the only one, Xianguan would have to fight to the death with him, but there are still elders at home. Wife, youngest son and daughter..."
Cheng Zipu said, and finally bowed deeply to prevent Li Xuan from seeing his choked appearance.
Li Xuan waved her hands and said, "It doesn't matter. I will defend you in court. It is normal for parents to love their children and sacrifice their name and heart. Your Majesty and the Queen will only reward you if they know about it, especially now that you dare to stand out
..."
"I feel ashamed that I haven't found much evidence to accuse you over the years."
"Fortunately, you didn't find out. If you had found out, then I might not be able to see you today, and I'm afraid there will only be one corpse left."
Li Xuan waved her hands indifferently. The Liu family and his son obviously noticed something, so they decisively attacked Cheng Zipu, hoping to bind Cheng Zipu firmly to his warship through the marriage relationship, but he did not expect that Cheng Zipu He also has his own thoughts.
Under the strong force of the Liu family, Cheng Zipu had no choice but to agree to this marriage, but he never swallowed the feeling in his heart.
Although Cheng Zipu didn't know the details of what the Liu family and his son had done, he had noticed many clues over the years.
Now when the opportunity came, he immediately seized it.
Lest something happen to the Liu family in the future, his own family would be affected again.
Although Li Xuan was a little surprised that Cheng Zipu cut off from the Liu family so simply, he was not disgusted. Now this would have a better effect.
"It's best if you think so. Write a document to cancel the engagement right here. Write down the place, time, and reason. I will be your guarantee." Li Xuan waved his hand, and Yu Ze had already taken it from the side. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Follow the order." Cheng Zipu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then started writing quickly in front of Li Xuan.
He didn't say much, just a few dozen words, but he directly accused the Liu family and his son of being ambitious and endangering the country. Today, the Cheng family and the Liu family completely broke off. From today on, the engagement will no longer matter.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Zipu handed the wet paper to Li Xuan. After taking a look at it, Li Xuan nodded. Yu Ze had already picked up the paper from the side and put it on the back.
"That's it, I'll take my leave!" After all this, Cheng Zipu didn't hesitate and left directly.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and it was not until Cheng Zipu left that Li Xuan said with emotion: "Who would have thought that there are so many smart people in this world."
Yu Ze stood behind Li Xuan without saying a word, with a thoughtful look on his face.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, Bachelor Ying has arrived."
"Please!" Li Xuan immediately stood up and walked quickly to the door.
At this moment, an elegant old man in black clothes who was nearly seventy years old appeared at the door.
Li Xuan immediately handed over his hand: "Young man Li Xuan, I have met Ying Weng."
"Your Majesty has become an old man." Yanxuan quickly handed over his hand to Li Xuan, but his expression revealed a look of satisfaction.
Weng Xu had already become an official ten years ago. His official position in the court was not high. He was a bachelor of Hongwen Hall. He only gave a few lectures to Prince Li Hong before he became an official.
If they were placed in the central areas of Chang'an and Luoyang, there would be a lot of such people, but when they got there, they would be rare.
From the state capital to the county government, officials at all levels respected him for fear of being aggrieved.
Now when I see Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, Wuzhou Biejia, I feel a little arrogant.
Li Xuan doesn't care, he will always be more tolerant towards the elders.
"Sir, please come in!" Li Xuan helped Yan Xu in with his own hands, then carefully helped him sit down on the stool, and then asked politely: "Sir, I have been in my hometown in Dongyang these past few years. I don't know if everything is going well. , is there anyone who is embarrassing the elderly? If so, I will vent my anger on behalf of the elderly."
"That's not true. At such an old age, no one dares to do anything wrong, but..." Yan Xu suddenly became serious and looked up at Li Xuan: "It's just that there are some things in Dongyang that can't be delayed. The prince doesn't know. In recent years, Nowadays, the income from the land of the people of Dongyang is decreasing day by day, but the taxes are as heavy as ever. If this continues, the delay will be a trivial matter, and it is not impossible for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to happen again."
The imperial court divided the people into nine levels based on their personal assets: upper-upper, upper-middle, upper-low, upper-middle, middle-middle, middle-low, lower-upper, lower-middle, and lower-low. The higher the level, the heavier the tax.
However, the higher the level, the higher the social status enjoyed, and marriage education touches all aspects.
Even if they are from a civilian family, they are very particular about being well-matched.
Maintaining a level that suits them is something every family must consider.
Once they are outclassed, their social status will decline, and they may even lose their land and become a bad person.
The bad guys go down further...
"If it is just a matter of land, this matter is not just in Dongyang. It is not like this anywhere in the world." Li Xuan knew the shortcomings of this. She looked at Xu Ying and said in a low voice: "Xiao Wang came to Southeast this time. , maybe it can be alleviated slightly. As for the long term, even the saints and queens cannot make a difference; the only thing they can do now is the latter..."
"Yes!" Xu Ying nodded slightly, and then said softly: "I already know what happened last night. Your Majesty is decisive in killing, and you deserve your Majesty's trust. But... I heard that your Majesty is going to kill the rebels at the entrance of the vegetable market today. Your Majesty is... Granted the prince the right to act expediently?"
Li Xuan paused there, looked at Xu Ying, and whispered in amazement: "The little king doesn't know where Xu Weng guessed it, but what your majesty said can only be used for some special things. The young king is not an important minister in the court, and his actions are limited to Judah."
"After all, there is still some." Xu Ying nodded, with a look of surprise on his face, then raised his head to look at Li Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "There isn't much I can do now, but I can still help the prince stand on the platform. no problem."
"Then thank you Xu Weng." After a short pause, Li Xuan asked with a serious face: "I wonder if Xu Weng and Si Bing joined the army..."
"That is my daughter's son." Xu Ying stood up and faced Li Xuan, slightly cupping his hands: "You are stubborn, please take more care of me in the future."
"It must be so," Li Xuan agreed.
Xu Ying stood up and said softly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will try my best to help you with the Dongyang summer harvest today. I can't help much with Hu Cao's troubles, but I can still do it if I ask the people below to be more honest." Arrived."
Nowadays, there are many deliberate errors and omissions in Dongyang Hu Cao Huang's book. It is very difficult and time-consuming to completely adjust it.
But just in a few days, the summer harvest will begin.
"Xiao Wang thanked Xu Weng again!" Li Xuan handed over to Xu Ying again. This time, he really helped a lot.
Although every family in Hu Cao had their faults and omissions, in reality, the only ones who were deeply connected with Li Dingyi were the Liu family who were also members of the Tianyin cult.
As for other companies, even if there are minor problems, it does not matter to the overall situation, as long as there is time to slowly sort them out.
"Your Majesty, there are some things that need to be rooted out!" Just as Li Xuan personally sent Xu Ying to the door, Xu Ying suddenly took Li Xuan's arm and whispered. Z.br>
Immediately, Xu Ying let go of Li Xuan's arm and walked forward expressionlessly.
At this time, Liu Ji happened to pass by from the opposite side.
Xu Ying walked out without even looking at him.
Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to Liu Ji and re-entered the room.
"Liu Ji, the captain of Renyong, has met the prince of Nanchang."
Colonel Renyong was a ninth-grade military official. Although it was nothing, Liu Ji had spent a lot of effort to get this official.
Li Xuan raised her eyes slightly, looked at him and asked slightly curiously: "How do you make everyone hate you?"
