Chapter 467

Youzhou Palace.

On the edge of the small river with willows swaying, Li Chengqian was half tilted on the Arhat bed, watching the newly compiled plays worshipped by the Bafeng Hall.

The Crown Princess and Wang Liangdi led a group of palace maids and eunuchs to serve.

Liu Kui quietly handed over a message from Chang'an.

Li Chengqian glanced at the news in Liu Kui's hand, his face turned cold, and he raised his eyes to look at the lake in the distance.

After a while, he said quietly: "Uncle, today I will marry a cousin to the Lu family of Fanyang."

This is also a family matter, so Li Chengqian also said it to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess and Wang Liangdi opened their eyes wide and looked at Li Chengqian, with surprise on their broken little faces.

After a while, Wang Liangdi asked with some difficulty.

"I wonder which young man from the Lu family in Fanyang was married?"

"Yes?" the Crown Princess asked.

Li Chengqian said angrily: "This time, the gentry of Hebei Province rebelled at the Lu family's manor in Fanyang. It would be better to be next to the Lu family in Fanyang, not to mention that the son-in-law chosen by my uncle is Lu Chengsi's nephew Lu Yao."

Lu Chengsi was the mastermind of this rebellion, and Lu Yao, the three tribes of the killing company, was listed on the list of the killing company. How could he let him go?

"Ah! Isn't my uncle confused?" the princess couldn't help but say.

Li Chengqian snorted coldly and said, "He is not confused. He is also using the excuse to cheer for Changle's sister. He sent someone to pass the imperial edict to Li Yi Mansion and ask what does it have to do with Changsun Wuji, the Lu family of Fanyang this time, for such a bold time."

"Abide by the order." Liu Kui bowed down to make arrangements.

"Fei Ge sent a letter to Chang'an City, and ordered them to send it to the Grand Court immediately as soon as they received the memorial from Youzhou."

Fei Ge delivers a letter to send some simple messages.

Because Li Chengqian had already started to deal with the rebellion of the gentry in Hebei Province, he did not use flying pigeons to teleport to Chang'an.

Instead, he wrote a detailed memorial on the early situation and sent it to Chang'an City with a fast horse. There was a time difference, and when Chang'an City received the news, Li Chengqian had already processed it according to his own wishes.

Li Chengqian now ordered officials in Chang'an City to send the memorials directly to the court, of course, to slap Changsun Wuji in the face.

...

Chang'an City.

Liu Shi took the memorial he wrote in the past two days to contact some officials in the court, and impeached the gentry of Hebei Province to extravagant marriage brides and corrupt the customs of the people.

This move caused quite a stir in the Chang'an officialdom.

Liu Shi's representative Li Chengqian is well-known. He impeached Hebei Dao's wedding bride price for extravagance, and it was Li Chengqian who wanted to use this matter to suppress the geniuses of Hebei Dao. This is understandable.

But this time was too coincidental. Changsun Wuji had just married the Lu family of Fanyang and married his daughter to Hebei Road. When he encountered such impeachment, people really thought about it.

Liu Shi's actions soon spread to Changsun Mansion.

Changsun Wuji was sitting in front of the desk practicing calligraphy. After listening to Changsun Chong's report, he didn't even raise his head. He smiled coldly and waved his hand to let Changsun Chong retreat.

From the day his daughter got married, Changsun Wuji was thinking about how to deal with Li Chengqian. If Liu Shi didn't take action, he was still planning to make a move in the big court.

Changsun Wuji thought to himself:

Liu Shi's urgent connection and impeachment of all the gentry of Hebei Province can only show that Li Chengqian has no means to do it.

With Li Shimin's intelligence, can't you not be able to see it?

At that time, he can only exchange Li Chengqian with a slight push.

The day before the Dayadays, even Li Shimin, who was in the Tai Chi Palace, knew about Liu Shimin.

Li Shimin sat in the Tai Chi Palace and frowned for a long time, feeling that Liu Shi's reasons for impeaching the gentry of Hebei Province were a bit weak, and it was difficult for the court to issue serious orders, and it might involve Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin was determined to send someone to tell Liu Shi not to do it first, but he also wanted to see Li Chengqian's power in Chang'an City. He thought to himself: It is not a big deal to let Liu Shi suffer a loss once, so let them go.

...

As the days of the great dynasty were coming, all civil and military officials of the sixth rank and above in Chang'an City got up in the fifth day of the fifth day of the Spring Cold and went to Tai Chi Palace to attend the court.

Although the Tang Dynasty officialdom in the early Tang Dynasty was not as harmonious as some novels wrote, one person could take all the officials.

But there is still basic harmony, and it is inevitable that officials will say hello to each other when they meet, and then gather together in groups to talk about things that everyone is interested in.

However, the officials who came outside the Tai Chi Palace this morning found that the atmosphere here was a bit solemn, as if something big was about to happen, and they didn't dare to do too much. They stood there silently waiting for the Tai Chi Palace to open.

Some people who knew the inside story couldn't help but look at the people on both sides quietly, and saw Liu Shi standing under the palace with a serious look as if he was facing a great enemy.

Changsun Wuji looked as if nothing happened, and the old god was standing there.

In this dull atmosphere, the Tai Chi Palace gate was wide open, and all officials lined up to the Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials below and bent down to worship, shouting long live the mountain. Although he had seen many things, Li Shimin felt a little excited every time he sat in the court.

"The Lords are calm."

Li Shimin raised his hands and was full of energy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After all the officials were in charge, the eunuch stepped forward and pulled his throat and said, "If you have a fortune, you will report it early, but if you don't have a fortune, you will leave the court."

Li Shimin and some officials who knew the inside story were waiting for Liu Shi or other princelings to jump out.

What was unexpected about calling out these people was that before Liu Shi and Changsun Wujifang's troops came out, a young official came out first.

Li Shimin looked at the official and thought he was also a princeling, and looked at him indifferently and waited for him to speak.

The official walked towards His Highness in a small way and saluted in a stern manner:

"I will report to Your Majesty. My minister, King Xuance, was ordered to go to the envoy to Tianzhu. I was shining with the power of Your Majesty. Fortunately, I will not be disgraced. Now I will come to the palace to submit the order."

"Oh, Wang Qing's family is peaceful."

Li Shimin immediately became interested. When Li Shimin thought that the world should be from the Tang Dynasty, so he heard about some situation in India from Xuanzang, so he hurriedly sent an envoy over.

Li Shimin was interested in asking about the details of this visit, but because he was worried about Princess Changle's illness in the past few days, he did not deal with some unhurried memorials.

Wang Xuance must have submitted a memorial when he returned to Chang'an. If he asked in detail now, he would definitely reveal the question that he had not read the memorial.

So after Wang Xuance got up, he calmed down the excitement on his face and said lightly: "Wang Qing's family has worked hard all the way to travel thousands of miles. I have a good rest these days, and then go to the palace in a few days to tell me the situation of the Tianzhu Kingdom."

Wang Xuance originally thought that he could talk in front of the civil and military officials in the hall today, and showed his face. He could not help but bow and retreat with disappointment when he heard this.

When Wang Xuance retreated, all the officials thought that Liu Shi would stand up, but this time Liu Shi still had no movement in his literary style.

Instead, another young official stood up, and many officials knew him, Xue Yuanchao, the prince's son.

Xue Yuanchao and Hao Chujun are in similar situations, and they are both second-generation officials with a strong and beautiful career.

Xue Yuanchao was a little stronger than Hao Chujun. His grandfather Xue Daoheng was considered a high-ranking prime minister in the Sui Dynasty. Moreover, Xue Daoheng was convicted and imprisoned for his poor relationship with Emperor Yang of Sui and was eventually forced to commit suicide.

When Xue Daoheng was alive, he had a very good relationship with Fang Xuanling's father. Later, his son Xue Shou was Xue Yuanchao's father, and like Fang Xuanling, he was Li Shimin's early counselor. Xue Shou made great contributions to Li Shimin's battles, but Xue Shou died when Xue Yuanchao was two years old.

Xue Yuanchao inherited Xue Suo's title of Fenyin County Man and became an official early. Of course, the court took care of him, and he usually studied at home.

When Li Chengqian was about to go to Lingzhou the next year, he transferred Xue Yuanchao to the East Palace to obey orders. Now, two years later, he has become a fifth-rank prince.

Li Shimin naturally knew Xue Yuanchao, and couldn't help but smile and said to himself: These children are going to make trouble in the court.

Since Li Chengqian traveled through time, most of the people who were deliberately or unintentionally reused were those who were later reused by Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian, including the Xue family in Fenyin, the Pei family in Wenxi, and the Liu family in Hedong.

Li Shimin was happy to see his success. Li Chengqian was able to cultivate a reliable team. The third step for the Tang Dynasty to last forever was considered to be good.

"I have reported to Your Majesty. Recently, I heard that the descendants of Zheng Wen, Wen of Xingyang, Lu Ziqian of Fanyang, Lu Fu, Lu Hun, Cui Zongbo of Qinghe, Cui Yuansun, Cui Yi of Former Yan Boling, Li Kai of Zhaojun, Jin Zhaojun and others are proud of their family background and are insatiable. Anyone who intermarries with them will seek more money.

The gentry families inherited the expectations of the world and did not set an example for frugality, but instead became extravagant and desperate, leading to the people's customs.

Nowadays, most people in Hebei Province are unable to get married after thirty years of age, and the impact is generally obvious.

I dared to ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to severely denounce such acts of violating human ethics and against customs. I promoted virtue and promoted good deeds and promoted customs, and all made the subjects of the world bathe in the king's transformation and return to simplicity."

Although some people have long known that the princelings were going to impeach the Hebei Dao family, many people were still shocked after hearing Xue Yuanchao's impeachment.

You should know that it is not during the Xianqing period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. The gentry in the court had almost been dealt with by Wu Zetian. Now there are many ministers from the gentry standing in the court. The uncle Changsun Wuji of the dynasty had just married the Lu family Fanyang Lu family, and there were more than 200 carts in the dowry alone...

It seems to be a bit too much!

Thinking of this, many ministers secretly looked at Changsun Wuji, but they saw that Changsun Wuji was still as if he was still alive after hearing Xue Yuanchao's impeachment. They all felt that today's good show had begun.
