Datang Nongwang

Chapter 151

Sitting on the high hall, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling at the side and asked, "Isn't Duke Wei's memorandum in Fang Aiqing's hands yet?"

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, there are too many books recently, and the minister may not have read them in time, so Rong Chen will send someone to find them." Seeing that the Holy Majesty seemed to have some doubts, Fang Xuanling quickly responded.

No one in the room believed Fang Xuanling's words.

This playbook is also graded.

The higher the official position, the higher his memorial will be.

Wei Zheng is also an important minister in the court, how could Fang Xuanling not see Wei Zheng's memorial.

Even Li Shimin, who was above the high hall, felt a trace of doubt in his heart after hearing Fang Xuanling's words.

Li Shimin wondered if there was any conflict between Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for Fang Xuanling, who was the Secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, not to pay attention to Wei Zheng's memorial.

Don't say that Li Shimin is suspicious.

Even the ministers present were suspicious in their hearts.

"Hurry up and send someone to find it." At this moment, Li Shimin stopped thinking about whether there was any problem with the two of them, and shouted to Fang Xuanling.

Subsequently.

A servant heard the words, and ran out of the hall, heading for Shang Shuxing.

After two quarters of an hour.

The servant came back with a memorial book and handed it directly to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't say much, just opened the book and read it.

After Li Shimin spread out the book and read it.

Gradually, this brow is wrinkled.

Wei Zheng's memorial is very long.

He wrote for an hour yesterday, and the number of words has reached a certain level.

As Li Shimin looked back, his brows became more and more wrinkled, making all the officials wonder if Wei Zheng wrote something that shouldn't be written.

otherwise.

How could a memorandum cause Li Shimin to frown to such an extent.

but.

Not long after.

Li Shimin's brows immediately relaxed again, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Fang Xuanling on one side, just like Li Shimin just now, lowered his head and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After half a day.

Only then did Li Shimin finish reading Wei Zheng's long memorial.

Li Shimin, who had finished reading the book, looked at Fang Xuanling, with some unhappiness in his eyes.

And this scene, all fell into the eyes of the chief servant who was waiting on the sidelines.

After Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling for a while, he turned to Wei Zheng and asked, "Mr. Wei, are you serious about what you said in this memorial?"

Seeing Li Shimin's questioning, Wei Zheng quickly replied, "Report to Your Majesty, what you said in the written book is true, and if you don't believe your Majesty, you can send someone to confirm it."

The words of the two made everyone in the court confused.

Playing the book, so far, only three people have watched it.

One is of course the writer Wei Zheng.

Second, it is the current saint Li Shimin.

Thirdly, it was naturally Fang Xuanling who lowered his head and frowned.

Only these three people knew what was written in the memorial.

Available now.

Li Shimin's question and Wei Zheng's response, no one knew what the two of them meant.

What Li Shimin wanted was not Wei Zheng's reply, what he wanted was to impress the ministers present.

Why?

Because in the playing book, what is written in the front part is not about high meritorious deeds, but about scolding.

Say anything.

It's like in the book, the people said that the tax was too high, the output was too low, they were busy all year round, and they couldn't get enough to eat, and the people were suffering.

Later, it was also said that the officials were exploited. Whenever taxes were collected, the tax levels set for each family were all low, which forced the common people to pay more food.

In this case, the previous part is described in this way.

But at the end of the book, when Li Shimin reviewed it, a smile appeared on his face.

Naturally, the matter of Lizhuang in Hu County was mentioned.

"Fang Aiqing, you really haven't read the memorial letter from Duke Wei?" At this time, Li Shimin turned to Fang Xuanling and asked angrily.

Fang Xuanling suddenly heard Li Shimin's angry question, and hurriedly bowed and replied: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I really haven't read the memorial of Duke Wei Jun, please ask the Holy Majesty to learn from it."

"The people are suffering, and the officials have their hands up and down. I thought the world was peaceful, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment, open up wasteland and farm, and have a full stomach. But how could I think that Hu County, which is so close to Chang'an, still has a lot of taxes? , The evil deeds of enriching one's own pockets, is this what you said in the book about the happiness of the people!!!" Li Shimin stood up suddenly, threw Wei Zheng's player directly at Fang Xuanling, and shouted angrily.

The ministers didn't expect it either.

A memorandum has attracted such an angry shout from the current saint.

All the ministers straightened up, lowered their heads, and did not dare to make any movements.

Even Wei Zheng is the same.

All the ministers were wondering what was written in the memorial to Wei Zheng's book.

However, according to their understanding of Wei Zheng.

If he could write good words, then he really wasn't the Wei Zheng they knew.

and.

Li Shimin's words have also explained that in Wei Zheng's memorial, he wrote about the problems with the officials in Hu County, but it was not clear about the harvesting of the crops.

Fang Xuanling, who was hit by the book, trembled and didn't know what to do.

original.

The original intention of Fang Xuanling's memorial to Wei Zheng was not about Wei Zheng's writing about the suffering of the people.

It is because of the writing about Li Zhuang and Li Chongyuan in the back of the book.

In Wei Zheng's memorandum, the officials in Hu county were described as like wolves and tigers, but Lizhuang, where Li Chongyuan lived, was written as a paradise.

Such a stark contrast between the two.

Moreover.

Li Chongyuan once messed with Cui Yu, who belonged to him, Fang Xuanling naturally didn't want Li Chongyuan to get better, so he thought of suppressing Wei Zheng's memorial, and then thought of other ways to make this memorial Replace it with another.

But Fang Xuanling really didn't expect it.

His careful thinking was disturbed by Li Shimin's question about Wei Zheng's memorial.

Li Shimin, who came down from the treasure platform, looked around at the ministers and shouted angrily: "I am an official, but the herdsmen are on one side, and I don't think about the people. What kind of official is this? Is it an official from my Tang country? Is it from my Tang country?" officials?"

"The counties in Hu County that are so close to Chang'an have so many evil deeds. It is conceivable that this is especially the case in other counties and counties in the Tang Dynasty. Among the memorials you submitted, is there any sentence about The sufferings of the people? But which sentence can solve the sufferings of the people!!!”

Inside the main hall, there was no sound.

At this time, no one dared to speak out.

After half a day.

Li Shimin approached the entrance of the main hall, looked at the sky, and said softly: "The Criminal Department thoroughly investigated all the officials in Hu County, including Li Zhao. In addition, the three provinces discussed and selected officials to inspect the prefectures. The list of officials was sent over. I want to have a look."

After speaking, Li Shimin stepped out of the hall directly.

This is considered a dispersal.
