Chapter 154 Why Me?

Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin: "If your majesty orders the princess to marry, your majesty will win the hearts of scholars and scholars all over the world, but similarly, if your majesty orders the princess to marry, it will also offend the gentry."

The status of the gentry in Shandong cannot be underestimated. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of the gentry can be imagined.

They have accumulated for hundreds of years, and the largest among the gentry is the five surnames.

The Shandong gentry occupy the land of Qilu, and all of them are heirs of poems and books.

From the Kanto out, the Kansai out will.

What's more, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, how many prime ministers have emerged.

Li Shimin nodded, unable to make a decision.

Only rich and noble families can afford to read, and poor people are basically illiterate.

This made the previous imperial officials, from the prime minister to the county magistrate, basically controlled by these gentry.

The downside is right in front of you.

Li Shimin sighed: "A 12-year-old child is so hot that he provokes the entire gentry, whether it is a blessing or a curse."

Du Ruhui understood Li Shimin's worry, and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zheng is only 12 years old, and he still has a long life."

Looking at Du Ruhui, Li Shimin asked, "Should I make an order?"

Du Ruhui said: "Three thousand scholars in Chang'an are asking for credit from Li Zheng, but the gentry haven't made a move yet, why don't we take a look."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Fang Xuanling also said: "The imperial examination should be put on the agenda."

Jingyang
Li Zheng specializes in the prevention and treatment of horse diseases.

Li Jiangshan stood behind him and said, "Cui Yan has returned to Cui's house again."

"I know."

Seeing Li Zheng looking at the book as if in a state of concentration, she said again: "You have offended the five surnames to death by doing this now, and they will come to retaliate against you."

"I know too."

Li Jiangshan pulled out the horizontal knife in his hand and said, "Do I need to kill Cui Yan?"

Hearing this, Li Zheng looked up at her and said, "Why did you kill him?"

"The queen sent me here with another order, let me protect you."

"So you're going to kill them?"

"Don't worry, I did that kind of thing a year ago. I promise that no one will find out the clues."

Li Zheng took a breath, "It turns out that she is still a killer sister, disrespect and disrespect."

"If you don't kill him now, there will be endless troubles."

"This killer sister, you know that if you kill him now, the first person in the court to suspect is me, because I just got married with him."

Seeing her puzzled expression, Li Zheng continued: "Sister killer, do you know what it means to me if Cui Yan dies?"

"What does it mean?"

Li Zheng put away his book, "Right now, Wu Xing and I are at most losing our temper, but once Cui Yan dies, it means that I will go to war with Wu Xing, do you understand me?"

Li Jiangshan held the horizontal knife and said: "Don't worry, the Queen and Your Majesty will protect you."

Li Zheng sighed: "Forget it, if disaster strikes me, Li Shimin will be the first to push me out as a sacrifice, believe it or not."

"You can't call His Majesty by his first name."

"Oh, take care of me."

After speaking, Li Zheng turned his head to look at her again, "Sister Killer, should you go back and settle the score?"

"I……"

"If you are lazy, I will not only deduct your wages, but I will also tell the queen to let her settle the account with someone else."

Li Jiangshan turned and left holding the horizontal knife.

It's good to trust anyone, but you can't trust the emperor.

Believe in the emperor?The dog's life is not long.

Li Zheng opened the system and took out some intestinal worms. Some of the ponies had a bad stomach. Xu Dahu said that the horses had worms in their stomachs.

Especially ponies are more prone to this disease.

After looking at the system for another day, the territory is 560 mu, with a population of [-]...

Up to now, more than 1000 people have been added, and the task is still halfway to completion.

The population has finally increased. It seems that Li Yi's mansion has done a good job, and people have been moving to Jingyang.

He took a few pills, mixed them in the feed, and carefully fed them to the ponies.

When I woke up the next day, the horses were already willing to eat the feed, and it seemed that the situation was much better.

Xu Dahu bought some mutton and came back and said: "Captain, a man named Xu Jingzong is looking for you."

"Where's the person?" Li Zheng looked behind him but saw no one.

Xu Dahu said: "That person is very weird and said yes, he will come over in half an hour."

After taking the mutton bought by Xu Dahu, Li Zheng planned to continue eating hot pot.

When the mutton in the hot pot was cooked, I finally saw him coming.

Xu Jingzong walked carefully step by step.

"Xu Jingzong, do you need this?"

Xu Jingzong took off the black cloth covering his face and said, "I didn't expect to be recognized by the county lord like this."

"The veil is not thick enough," Li Zheng said.

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "Actually, this is a handkerchief given to me by a girl in Pingkangfang."

Pingkangfang is the largest red-light district in Chang'an. It seems that this Xu Jingzong is really an old scumbag, Li Zheng secretly affirmed in his heart.

"It's done?"

Xu Jingzong said respectfully: "It's done, those Japanese people have already become monks, and I'm afraid they won't cause any more trouble to the county marquis."

"Being a monk?"

Xu Jingzong explained the ins and outs of the matter.

The feeling is that after those Japanese people accidentally burned down the temple's meditation room, they couldn't afford to pay for the temple. They had to be sweeping monks for the temple for five years.

It is said that the temple was accidentally burned, but in fact it was Xu Jingzong who did it.

On the contrary, he didn't talk about many details, and he didn't want to pursue it, as long as things are done well.

Xu Jingzong said: "Don't worry, the county lord, these Japanese people will not be able to leave that temple for five years."

"Are you familiar with Pingkangfang?"

Li Zheng asked abruptly, but Xu Jingzong couldn't answer for a while.

Xu Jingzong thought for a while and said: "Familiar, I often go there. If the county lord is interested, I can introduce some girls to the county lord."

"No, I'll just ask casually."

Xu Jingzong nodded again and again, "Then can I do things for the county marquis after I get down?"

"Sit down and eat hot pot with me."

When Xu Jingzong heard the words, he sat down, picked up chopsticks and Li Zheng, scooped up the meat in the hot pot, while observing the 12-year-old child, he asked, "Then what will the next official do for the county marquis?"

"Eat hot pot with me." Li Zheng said.

eat hot pot?
Xu Jingzong took a breath and sighed: "The words of the county lord are really unpredictable. I really can't understand the profound meaning of the words of the county lord."

Li Zheng sighed in his heart, talent, this guy's flattery is much better than Li Yifu's.

While eating hot pot mutton, Li Zheng asked, "Xu Jingzong, you said that I am a small county lord and a horse breeder, why do you do things for me?"

Xu Jingzong ate a mouthful of mutton, bowed and said, "Because I don't want to stay in Yushitai."

"Then you can go to other places, like Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province, and there are plenty of places in the Six Departments and Nine Temples."

"To be honest with the county lord, there is no place for lower officials to stand in the court. There are many capable people in the court, and your majesty can't see the lower officials."

Li Zheng continued to ask: "Then tell me again, why did you choose to follow me? There are so many dignitaries in Chang'an and you can work for them."
