Datang Nongwang

Chapter 670
The Qi family was wiped out, not just his elder brother Qi Wu's family.

It even wiped out his Qi Wen's mother.

Qi Wen's mother passed away after giving birth to Qi Wen.

Therefore, the Qi family hired a nanny to help feed Qi Wen.

As for Qi Wen's Nai Niang, none of her descendants died because of the war, leaving only this old woman.

to this end.

Qi Wen took his Nai Niang to the Qi family and was taken care of by his elder brother Qi Wu.

Unexpectedly.

My eldest brother's family was wiped out, leaving only two sons, and even Qi Wen's mother was included in it.

Qi Wen knelt down on the court hall, crying bitterly because his mother died unexpectedly, which made all the court officials feel a little pitiful for Qi Wen.

No, Fang Xuanling stood up immediately, cupped his hands towards Li Shimin and said: "Since the Holy Majesty came to the court, the country has been peaceful and the people are safe. Although there are constant natural disasters, there has never been riots, killings, looting and smashing among the people. Now, ten Over the past few years, our dynasty has become even richer and stronger, and even the Turks and other countries in the Western Regions have surrendered to our dynasty. Unexpectedly, there will be a massacre in our country, which is really unimaginable and unimaginable. And the Qi family It is the home of the pillars of our dynasty. Over the years, it has been building ships for our dynasty. Don’t talk about the merchants, it is only about the Qi family building ships for our dynasty. The merits of the Qi family outweigh the faults. Your Majesty, I suggest, The censor appointed by the Holy Majesty will go to Jimo to investigate the case of the extermination of the Qi family, so as to return the Qi family justice and put an end to the discipline of our dynasty."

Supervise the censor.

This official position is not a high-level official position, and he is not even qualified to enter the main gate of the court, and he is not allowed to enter the palace unless he has something to do.

However, its powers are very wide, and all officials are quite afraid.

after all.

The duty of supervising the censor is subordinate to the Yushitai procuratorate, which is in charge of supervising all officials, inspecting counties, correcting prison cases, and cleaning up court councils and other things.

Although his position is only at the eighth rank, this power should not be underestimated.

If a supervisory censor is sent to Jimo, it is estimated that not only the Jimo county magistrate has to beat drums every day, but even the governor of Laizhou will have to worry about it every day.

After all, there are not many officials who do not commit crimes.

Even if there are no major incidents, there must be many small incidents.

and.

As an official, if you don't be greedy and don't move, how can you be worthy of the black gauze hat on your head? After all, it is not easy to be an official, and you have to make yourself a fortune no matter what.

Therefore, as long as the things recorded by the censor are monitored, as long as they are handed over to the court, no one can escape.

But the words came back again.

Although the supervisory censor is a member of Yushitai, he is also divided into factions.

Or, the person is also a person who belongs to whom.

Except for certain exceptions, of course.

Just like Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan once served as a supervisory censor.

What's more, it was also the supervisory censor hand-picked by Li Shimin.

Therefore, it is a special case for Li Chongyuan to be a supervisory censor, and Li Chongyuan never talks about official career.

As long as you dare to be greedy, don't blame him for Li Chongyuan's pen.

But this monitoring of censors is not something everyone can do.

Even if there are a dozen supervisory censors in the Yushitai Procuratorate, as long as they are not sent to inspect counties and counties, they can only serve as supervisory censors in the Procuratorate for one year, and then transferred to other places.

Such as patrolling counties and counties once, the person will be promoted.

This is also the reason why all officials want to be a supervisory censor. After all, as a supervisory censor, he will be promoted once he inspects counties and counties.

And after Li Chongyuan once served as a supervisory censor, he really climbed all the way.

Li Chongyuan has climbed up to the present, and has climbed to the post of governor of Yangzhou, and he has become the youngest governor in the history of the Tang Dynasty before reaching the top.

There is a saying.

As long as he has served as the supervisory censor, his official career will have a bright future.

After Fang Xuanling's words came out, Li Shimin immediately looked at his eldest grandson Wuji.

Seeing Li Shimin looking at him, Changsun Wuji knew that Li Shimin was asking for his opinion.

"Your Majesty, what Liang Guogong said is true. Since your Majesty came to the court, I have never heard of such an evil thing. Moreover, the Qi family has made contributions to our dynasty. If the Holy Majesty sent a supervisory censor to Jimo to lead the case, it must be When the murderer is found out, it will be the rule of my court. Therefore, I believe that Liang Guogong's words are feasible." After thinking about it, Changsun Wuji stood up and said.

After Changsun Wuji said this, Li Shimin looked at the generals again after hearing this.

but.

No one from the military commander line came forward to say anything.

This is a state affair, not a state war.

Therefore, people in the country's political affairs and generals basically don't talk much.

Even Cheng Yaojin, who always likes to be in the court, is like a lunatic, and only listens to Li Shimin, somehow today, when Li Shimin looked at him, he didn't stand up and express any opinions.

Cheng Yaojin was already like this, so the generals naturally didn't have much to say.

Li Shimin saw that no one from the generals had any opinions, so he could only look at Qi Wu who was kneeling in the hall and said, "Qi Aiqing, I am very sympathetic to your Qi family. My condolences. I agree with what the house minister said just now. Then send a supervisory censor to Jimo to find out the whole story of the case."

As soon as Li Shimin spoke, Qi Wen was overjoyed immediately.

"Thank you, Majesty, thank you." Qi Wen, who knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Li Shimin.

Kneeling and kowtowing were not favored by the imperial court, but it happened that such a big event happened to his family, so Qi Wen's kneeling and kowtowing made sense.

According to the regular system.

Things that happen locally must be dealt with locally.

At most, the imperial court issued official documents.

Otherwise, it is to issue an imperial decree.

It is rare to send a supervisory censor to lead the case like today.

It can be seen that the case of the Qi family being exterminated is enough to show that Li Shimin is angry.Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have agreed to Fang Xuanling's proposal.

Two days later.

The appointed supervisory censor was ordered to leave Beijing for Jimo.

And Jimo at this time.

Li Chongyuan and the others still haven't left, they have been staying in a guest house in Jimo City.

People in the county government have been investigating the affairs of the Qi family.

Even, recently, they have begun to check the guest houses and outsiders.

but.

Li Chongyuan was not worried at all.

Besides, Li Chongyuan is the governor of Yangzhou, and even the king of Xixiang County.

Even if he came to Jimo with a lot of guards, and there was some movement, the officials of the county government, even the officials of the state government, would not doubt Li Chongyuan.

Moreover.

The matter of the Qi family was not done by him, Li Chongyuan.

But the words came back again.

Although Chen Juan and the others did the Qi family's affairs, it is equivalent to him, Li Chongyuan.After all, the annihilation of the Qi family was Chen Juan and the others' revenge for Li Chongyuan.

and so.

This matter really had to be blamed on him, Li Chongyuan, and he couldn't even throw it away.

at this time.

Laizhou and Jimo officials all know that Li Chongyuan, the king of Xixiang County, is in Jimo, and they have all been to the guest house, so they have met once.

But the officials at the Laizhou and Jimo levels were very busy, but after they came to make friends with Li Chongyuan, they didn't come to bother Li Chongyuan anymore.

Li Chongyuan, the king of Xixiang County, came to Jimo suddenly, and these officials didn't have much doubt, thinking that Li Chongyuan was just passing by.

And they don't know.

Li Chongyuan was the main culprit in the destruction of the Qi family.

even.

Qi Feng, the eldest son of the Qi family, is in the hands of Li Chongyuan.

Xingba, who came back from inquiring about the news, hurried to Li Chongyuan, "Young Lord, I walked around the city this morning to visit, and this Qi family is really not a thing. I heard from some people that, these years, the There are at least this number of people in the hands of the Qi family."

"Five people? This is not like the Qi family's style." Seeing Xing Ba stretching out a palm, Li Chongyuan said in disbelief.

Xingba shook his head, "It's fifty. It's just a rumor among the people. I believe the actual number is much, much higher than the rumored number among the people."

"That's right. As far as Qi Feng's style is concerned, I believe that it will never be less than this number. If you take someone to the Qi's shipyard to touch it, I don't believe it. The Qi family has only killed 50 people over the years. The shipyard side, I believe it must be several times higher than this." After Li Chongyuan heard the words, he felt that the number Xing Ba had heard was a bit false.

After Xingba got the words, he immediately took people away again.

Now that Li Chongyuan has arrived in Jimo, he will not leave for the time being.

One is to inquire about the progress of the Yamen's investigation.

Second, it is natural to collect some news and evidence about the Qi family.

Li Chongyuan is determined.

The case of the Qi family being wiped out will eventually be found out.

At that time, the case of the Qi family being wiped out will fall on Li Chongyuan no matter what.

Chen Juan and the others cannot be allowed to take this responsibility.

Li Chongyuan believes that if it is found out that Chen Juan and the others did it, then Chen Juan and the others will definitely be wanted by the court, and then what will happen.

At this point, Chen Juan and the others will definitely be exiled overseas.

Again.

Li Chongyuan has already become enemies with this Qi family, this blame must really be carried by him Li Chongyuan.

One is my aunt, and the other is my official title.

Which one is important and which one is not, Li Chongyuan can still figure it out clearly.

and so.

For the sake of Chen Juan and the others, as well as for himself, Li Chongyuan asked Xing Ba to go around to find out the news, to check some evil things about the Qi family and other things.

When it's time for the court to pursue accountability, these things will be put out.

At that time, even if the imperial court wants to remove Li Chongyuan's official position and cut his title, it will at least be lighter, and will not go all the way to the end, removing Li Chongyuan from all official positions and cutting off his title.

And just as Li Chongyuan expected.

Xiang Ba and the others returned to Chang'an.

Xiang Ba returned to his home with the bodies of Thirty Six and Twenty Three.

When the old lady heard the news, she came out of the house with a heavy face and came to the side alley outside the mansion of the house. Looking at the two coffins on the carriage, she said angrily with hatred and gritted teeth: "Qi family!!! Let this Qi family disappear from this world!!!"

"Old lady, Qifeng, the eldest son of the Qi family, arrested Xiangjiu in order to obtain the blueprints of Mr. Xiaolang's paddle steamer, killed Thirty-six and Twenty-three, and killed five boatmen. Old lady, please Take revenge for Thirty-six and Twenty-three." Xiang Ba cried.

After the old lady heard this, her complexion became even more serious.

but.

The old lady did not speak again, but she gritted her teeth loudly.

It is impossible for the corpses of Thirty Six and Twenty Three to enter the family.

The surname of the family is Li. Except for the members of the family, the corpses of people with other surnames cannot enter the family. This is a rule and a courtesy.

Xiang Ba got the old lady's words, escorted the corpses of Thirty Six and Twenty Three, followed the old lady's carriage, left Chang'an City, and headed west of Chang'an City.

Soon.

After exiting the west gate of Chang'an, the old lady was speechless all the way, her face sinking to the bottom, and she walked forward.

More than an hour later.

The carriage and the coffins of [-] and [-] came to Li Zhuang.

The old lady brought everyone to Li Zhuang.

It seems that this is a funeral for Sanliu and Ersan in Lizhuang.

It's no problem to put the funerals of Sanliu and Ersan in Lizhuang.

Although Li Zhuang used to be Li Chongji's Zhuangzi, it was later transferred to Li Chongyuan's name. Although the surname was Li, it was only a Zhuangzi, not a house.

and.

Thirty Six and Twenty Three have been following Li Chongyuan for the past few years.

But now, Thirty Six and Twenty Three died because of Li Chongyuan, so it makes sense to put their funerals in Li Zhuang.

but.

The old lady didn't think so.

The old lady who got out of the carriage looked at the two coffins following behind, and the hatred in her eyes was even worse, "Wait here, I will go back when I go."

Shortly after.

The old lady came out of Lizhuang.

but.

At the same time, Li Yuan and others also came out.

When Li Yuan came out of Li Zhuang and saw two sets of coffins outside the village, his face didn't look any better.

"Send them back to Xiang's family. I will handle the affairs of the Qi family." Li Yuan looked at the two coffins with a heavy expression.

After the old lady heard the words, she made a big gift to Li Yuan.

Xiang Ba and the others also followed the old lady and made a big gift to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's words showed that Li Yuan was going to avenge the two Xiang family soldiers, Thirty-six and Twenty-three.

The old lady returned to Xiang's house with the coffins of Thirty-six and Twenty-three.

But Li Yuan returned to the courtyard with a heavy expression.

At dawn the next day.

Li Yuan got up early in the morning, got into the carriage prepared by Jin's servant last night, and rushed to Chang'an City.

When Li Yuan came to the gate of the palace city, the general guarding the palace city was about to stop the carriage that was about to break into the palace city, but he saw Jin Nei's attendant coming out from behind, pointing to the carriage, "the emperor is here, Don't let it go yet!"

Of course the guard knew the servant Jin.

There is a saying that, if Jin Neishi is present, the Supreme Emperor must also be present.

How dare the guard stop him.

Soon.

Li Yuan was supported by Jin Neishi to the main hall where the court meeting was taking place.

When Li Yuan arrived suddenly, the entire court meeting was interrupted directly.

All the ministers were extremely curious, wondering why Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, would suddenly appear in such an early morning.

According to the past, after Li Yuan abdicated, he rarely came to court.

And today.

But appearing in the court so early in the morning, it can be seen that Li Yuan's arrival is definitely not good news.
