?

The night is dark and the wind is high.

The spring is chilly and there is no light at all in the night sky. Experienced people in Bianjing know that a spring rain is coming.

Although there is no curfew, there are no people on the Imperial Street. Only some fireworks and willow alleys still have low laughter. However, at this time, the second half of the night has entered, and the laughter has gradually stopped.

If nothing unexpected happens, Bianjing City will be awakened in the first ray of sunshine in another hour or two.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of carriages on the Imperial Street. Someone heard the sound, but he turned over and continued to sleep. The carriage headed towards the Imperial City. But halfway through, the carriage suddenly stopped and turned to the side.

The carriage drove to a garden, and there was a barking dog in the yard next to it.

The man driving the carriage turned around and said to the inside, "Princess, he's here!"

When he turned around, the light of the lantern at the door shone on his face. If someone were here, he would be shocked, because this person was Liang Huaiji, and since the coachman was Liang Huaiji, there was the Princess of Yan State!

The carriage was silent, and a faint voice came out after a while: "Forget it, don't cause him any trouble, go to Xihuamen."

"Princess, it will take more than an hour for the imperial city gate to open. If you are afraid of disturbing the top scholar, let's wait first and wait until the palace gate opens, and we will go."

Liang Huaiji advised.

The sound of crying in the carriage was heard.

Liang Huaiji gritted his teeth, waved his whip, and drove his carriage toward the imperial city again.

...

The next day, the rumors that the Princess of Yan State detained the ban at night flew across the entire Bianjing City as if she had wings.

Ouyang Bian was stunned when he heard the news.

A girl wearing a red cloak with white fur on her cloak and her face flushed, making people think of a poem at a glance appear in his memory.

Then the poem makes the faces of peach blossoms complement each other.

Zhao Huirou.

The girl who likes him.

Ouyang Bian couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

He had nothing to do with Zhao Huirou, and even kept a distance deliberately. Zhao Huirou liked him, so he naturally knew about this, but this itself was fruitless, so why bother causing trouble?

However, when she heard the news that she had locked the palace gate at night, Ouyang Bian knew that her miserable next life had been destined from this time... Oh, no, she was destined from the time she was betrothed to Li Wei by his father Zhao Zhen, but now it has just begun.

When Ouyang Bian returned to the Censorate, he heard Li Ding and the others discussing it.

"Ji Mo is here, have you heard that Princess Yan's door was detained at night last night."

Li Ding asked.

Ouyang Bian nodded: "I heard that, what's wrong?"

Li Ding said: "I heard that the princess was caught by her mother-in-law Yang because she was drinking privately with the eunuch. The princess was so angry that she beat Yang and then locked the door at night."

Ouyang Bian nodded.

"But now the official family ordered the son-in-law Li Wei to fine his son-in-law Li Wei 30 kilograms of copper. The princess of Yan returned to her princess' house, but she was not punished at all.

This is strange. People who do the wrong thing are not punished, and people who do the wrong thing are punished. What is this?”

Li Dingdao.

"Yes, the government's approach is really inappropriate. It is obvious that the princess is arrogant and even beats her mother-in-law. What kind of discipline is this!"

Huang Lian said indignantly.

?Ouyang Bian looked at Cheng Hao and Yan Xun, and their attitudes were almost the same.

Ouyang Bian nodded.

Li Ding said: "I am going to submit a memorial and advise the officials not to tolerate it, otherwise where will the ethical principles be placed? Should you join us?"

Yan Xun and Huang Lian shook their heads. This was the emperor's family affairs and they did not want to get involved.

Cheng Hao said, "I also submitted a memorial."

Li Ding and Cheng Hao looked at Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "It's enough for you to decide for yourself. The Taiwan officials' advice is not up to the head. You can decide for yourself. Just don't forget the words at the door. If you say them, it's best to do a good job of investigation."

What Ouyang Bian said about the so-called Taiwanese officials’ remarks “not by the officials’ right” refers to the principle of independence of the Taiwanese officials in the Censorate.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the Censorate once implemented an independent supervision system that did not sue the Taichung chief.

Later, because the prime minister at that time believed that the censor's authority was too heavy, he still ordered the Taiwanese officials to "play the role of "the first Bai Zhongcheng and the doctor".

In the early Song Dynasty, the system of the late Tang Dynasty was inherited. The censor said that things must be done first. Until the Ganxing period, the Censors established the principle of independence for the chief officers of the Taiwan officials, and the Taiwanese officials reported to "not to let the chief officers do it."

From then on, this system was regarded as a sage and has been used.

Therefore, Li Ding and Cheng Hao decided to submit a memorial, but there was actually no need to ask Ouyang Bian for advice.

The matter between Ouyang Bian and Hu Su has been revealed so before, but there are actually factors in this principle.

Of course, the censors who submitted memorials were not only Li Ding and Cheng Hao, but most of the censors in the palace also submitted memorials and condemnations, mainly for the Princess of Yan State.

The Censorate responded quite a lot to this, almost everyone was indifferent, and they were mainly condemning the princess.

Under pressure, Zhao Zhen had to issue an edict to expel all the eunuchs in the princess's mansion to other places. Liang Huaiji was even sent to Luoyang to sweep the palace.

And things seemed to have calmed down.

However, something shocked the government and the people happened.

A rebellion broke out on Jinghu North Road.

Ouyang Bian learned about this matter quite early because he received a secret letter from the president of Jinghu North Road Branch.

This is the thing.

The central bank has set up a service area on Jinghu North Road, and overhauled the official road to open up many mountainous areas that were isolated from the world. The service area set up also gives locals a place to trade.

The locals took out many of the rich specialties to the service area for sale. This was originally a good thing, but an accident happened.

Some mountainous areas on Jinghu North Road are rich in tea. They were originally unable to ship it, so they were produced and sold locally as camellia tea.

However, because of the opening of the service area, camellia tea entered the service area for sale. Because of its good taste, it was loved by many merchants, so the mountain tea farmers planted it in large quantities.

There are more and more tea in the service area, and even squeezed out the market in Huainan Thirteen Markets, which attracted the attention of Jiangling Mansion's goods service.

The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and tea was a prohibited product, and it was sold exclusively by the government, and private sales were prohibited.

Six Affairs Thirteenth Sessions is an official organization that specializes in tea discussion.

The so-called six affairs are goods and services set up in the place where they are to be met, and Jiangling Mansion goods and services are one of them.

The Thirteenth Field is a thirteen tea production mountain farm set up in Huainan, and all teas in the world come from the Thirteenth Field.

The Sixth Stage 13 controlled the tea sale in the Song Dynasty and did not allow other tea sale among the people.

The appearance of tea on Jinghu North Road also squeezed out their market, which naturally aroused their anger.

So Jiangling Mansion's goods affairs intervened.

Jiangling Mansion's freight service first found the central bank branch. Although the branch president was unwilling, he had to do so.

Because although transactions are tax-paying, it does not comply with national laws, the branch president immediately stopped tea merchants from trading tea in the service area.

So the tea farmers immediately suffered heavy losses, but if it were the only one, the so-called rebellion would not have happened.

The goods business has set its sights on tea farmers on Jinghu North Road.

The camellia produced on Jinghu North Road does taste excellent and can definitely be made into high-end tea, and it can also be made into the 14th mountain field.

So the officials of Jiangling Prefecture who dealt with goods led the yamen runners to force local tea farmers to join the newly established mountain farm.

Tea farmers naturally don’t want to.

The branch president was afraid that Ouyang Bian would not understand the situation, so he specifically explained why tea farmers did not join.

Although tea farmers have to pay taxes when growing tea for sale by themselves, their income after tax is their own, and they are also free in their own personal life.

But the "parent households" in the Thirteenth are not like this.

The gardeners have no personal freedom, and they have to bear the quota for tea production. If the quota is not completed, they have to pay for the land and sell the houses and make up for the missing tea.

Of course they don't want to.

They don’t grow tea, they can grow other things, but if they become gardeners, they will be gardeners for generations, who would be willing?

So the officials in Jiangling Prefecture who filed goods directly arrested people, saying that tea farmers had violated national laws and wanted to put them in prison.

The tea farmers had no choice but to join the newly opened Fourteenth Mountain Farm in tears.

If only that is the case, that would be fine.

I don’t know what happened this year, it may be because of the climate, tea farmers are not very enthusiastic, or other reasons, which lead to a poor harvest of tea.

This made the officials who were promoted because of the newly opened Fourteen Mountains and were furious and issued a deadly order, and the tea farmers would bear the amount themselves.

Tea farmers can not afford it. In order to achieve the task, officials arrested some tea farmers and tortured them in front of the tea farmers, hoping to put pressure on other tea farmers.

However, the tea farmers were unable to bear it anymore. Someone rioted on the spot and beat the officials. The officials commanded the soldiers to take the knife. The tea farmers died on the spot, and finally pushed the entire incident to an unpredictable level.

When the tea farmer saw someone dead, he completely lost his mind and rushed forward and beat the soldiers and officials to death.

Tea farmers on Jinghu North Road have now gathered in the mountains and forests to collectively fight against the government.

Seeing that the matter was not easy to deal with, Jiangling Mansion quickly threw the matter to Jiangling Mansion. Jiangling Mansion did not dare to take care of it and pushed the matter to the supervisor of Jinghu North Road.

Seeing that the chaos had already begun, the Jinghu North Road Supervisor quickly submitted a memorial, so the matter finally came to Bianjing City!
Chapter completed!
