Chapter 1474 The Darkness Under the Lights

Ah Liang took the snacks and walked into Miyagi in a hurry.

"Mr. Dalang, slow down!" The waiter who had been waiting for him chased after him, lest the little ancestor fell down and they would be unlucky.

Han Ji and He Lianrong, who happened to come to see King Qin, were thoughtful when they saw this scene.

"The servants and the nobles share weal and woe, and get along day and night. No wonder the nobles have attached great importance to the servants' letters since then." Han Ji shook his head, "However, this matter is beyond our control."

"You think too much." He Lianrong said: "If you read more history books, you will find that if the emperor has not agreed, how can those servants suppress the court, how can they be domineering?"

"Yes, that stupid emperor."

"Emperors are so stupid that they can be manipulated by others, so do you think it's important whether the servants have power?"

Han Ji nodded, "What you are saying is that if the emperor is held hostage by his servants and the courtiers cannot rescue him, then this dynasty should also be destroyed."

"What His Highness said that day originally meant this." He Lianrong rubbed his bald head, "If the descendants of future generations are confused, instead of causing chaos in the world, it is better to drive him out and change the dynasty."

"Isn't there a good way?" Han Ji felt that this did not look like an emperor.

"The dragon has nine sons, and the sons are different. This is what His Highness said. His Highness doesn't believe that his children and grandchildren will always be wise, what do you think?"

A servant came out, "You two, please come with us."

The two followed into the palace.

When I arrived outside a palace, I heard King Qin ask inside, "Which family's dim sum is this? The taste is really good."

"The Lin family."

A Liang said: "I ate delicious food, so I bought it for A Ye."

"What about your mother? Where's your younger brother's?"

"Uh!"

"Hey! Not doing everything well. Qin Ze."

"The servant is here."

"Send these snacks to the queen and Erlang, but Erlang doesn't eat much, it's bad teeth."

"Yes!"

The servant then went in to report.

Then Han Ji and He Lianrong went in.

Ah Liang was dressed in plain clothes, and King Qin was eating snacks. When he saw them coming in, he threw the snacks into his mouth and clapped his hands, "It's just in time for you to wait. Someone in Chang'an County begged to be a slave. You have to investigate this matter."

"Yes!" Han Ji agreed, and then explained the reason for his visit, "His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne. After all, the northern border is the place where His Highness's dragon flourishes. Do you want to show extra favor?"

The King of Qin thought for a while, "For hundreds of years, Northern Xinjiang's son Lang Weiguo has defended the border, causing countless casualties. For hundreds of years, the people of Northern Xinjiang have used their own hands to support the army. I should not forget, and the Tang Dynasty should not forget it. Forget. In the next three years, the tax in northern Xinjiang will be halved."

"Your Highness is wise." He Lianrong said: "The people in Northern Xinjiang will definitely be delighted when they hear about this."

"They were overjoyed, and the household department might cry." Han Ji said with a smile.

"No." The King of Qin said, "The Southern Zhou harvest is not small, enough to fill the holes in the past three years."

After the Southern Zhou Dynasty was wiped out, the amount of money and food seized was innumerable, and the accompanying civil servants were dumbfounded and said that the Southern Zhou Dynasty had money.The descendant of the Southern Zhou Dynasty resentfully said that the accumulation of hundreds of years in the Great Zhou Dynasty is here.These hundreds of years of accumulation have made King Qin full, and he is waiting for the follow-up to be slowly transported to Chang'an.

With this amount of money and food, King Qin has the confidence to challenge the big families and powerful people in Guanzhong.Otherwise, others only need to block you once, and they can put you in a dilemma.

To be honest, King Qin sometimes envies the failed candidate from another world.

Don't worry about anything, smash the country to pieces, and kill whoever you want.

"Tianjie is full of Gongqing's bones!" King Qin shook his head.If he did this, he would probably become a tyrant in the eyes of the world.

It is not terrible to become a tyrant, but the terrible thing is that people of that class have become their own deadly enemies from then on.

Unless there is a thorough cleaning, such means cannot be used-the fate of the failed candidate is a lesson from the past.

But if it is thoroughly cleaned, the whole Tang Dynasty will be in chaos.

At that time, how to control Datang?
After all, it is still because of the lack of a reliable team of officials.

In northern Xinjiang, the first batch of outstanding students have already become the county magistrate, and in time, the county magistrate, governor... above the court.

But even if they are used to exchange blood for the officialdom, who can guarantee that they can maintain that kind of positive spirit?Who can guarantee that they will not degenerate into the same urine as these officials now?
From the perspective of an emperor, it should be that human nature is evil.

Countless thoughts swirled in King Qin's mind, and finally turned into a wave of ruthlessness.

change!
Turn this atmosphere of officialdom around.

Otherwise, this Datang would still slide down uncontrollably.

"Your Highness." The bonus came, "My Lady said, the palace in the harem is much empty."

King Qin was taken aback, "Don't ask Gu about such things."

"Yes!"

Before ascension to the throne, there will be many things to do, King Qin is very busy, and Zhou Ning does not stop.

"If when His Highness ascended the throne, I was the only one in the harem, and if the news spread, should it be said that I was jealous, or that His Highness was deeply in love."

Zhou Ning is looking at the roster.The roster was sent by the people below, and it contains the list of women in the palace that can be selected by the King of Qin.

Aunt Guan glanced at Yiniang, "According to His Highness's temperament, if you are familiar with it, you will be born."

These words... Zhou Ning wanted to roll his eyes.

Since entering the palace, Yiniang has been staying in the harem, and every day when there is nothing to do, she walks around by herself.

"For such things, it depends on His Highness's intention." Yiniang said.

At this time, the bonus came back.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness said, don't ask him such things."

"Then what should I do?" Aunt Guan didn't move, "If you get some women that His Highness doesn't like, the harem will be restless!"

When King Qin returned to the palace, he was in a bad mood when he saw those crooked women, or women he didn't like. Will he fight the queen later?
Zhou Ning glanced at Yi Niang, "What do you think of Yi Niang?"

Yiniang smiled and said, "It seems that we all misunderstood Your Highness."

"Oh!" Zhou Ning had a lot of things to do, not only had to take care of King Qin's backyard, but also had to take care of the two children, and socialize with those women who were important ministers. Instead, it was better for Yiniang, who was focused on King Qin, to be a bystander.

"Your Highness said don't ask him. We all felt that His Highness was embarrassed to say it... But in my view, it means His Highness is impatient."

Yiniang smiled and said, "He doesn't care about this at all!"

Aunt Guan stared, "I can't! Look at those emperors, which one is not the 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of Sangong."

Men, how many can control their crotch?

"Your Highness can!" Yiniang raised her head slightly, her eyes confident, "Otherwise, after all these years, there would already be countless women in His Highness's backyard."

Aunt Guan thought about it carefully, it really is.

In recent years, there are really only a handful of women in King Qin's hands. No, they don't need one hand.

In addition to Zhou Ning, there is Changling, the eldest princess of the Northern Liao Dynasty.As for the home, it was Wu Luo's place.

three women.

Yiniang said: "Sooner or later, Jiang He'er will leave His Highness's side, as well as that Helianyan. Helianyan's place is special."

"Jin Yiwei is the emperor's eyes and ears, and he cannot be in charge unless he is a confidant. Helianyan, it depends on what His Highness wants." Aunt Guan knew everything, "That seems to be enough."

……

"Shabby!"

The old thief and Wang Laoer were interrogating in a wine shop across the street from Chang'an County.

The one who answered was a wicked young man, who said with a smile: "The villain gave the man a penny, and he made it clear right away. Chen Fa found them half a month ago, and promised the family a thousand dollars. In addition, the rent was reduced by [-]%." And also promised them that the rent will not be increased for a hundred years. So those people who are good people don’t want to be slaves, so they have to be slaves.”

"Sold my whole family for a thousand dollars, what a shame!" the old thief shook his head.

"Selling a family for [-] yuan is too much." Wang Laoer squatted beside him eating jerky, "When I was a beggar, I saw a family selling themselves for [-] yuan. He treated the man in the family, but the disease was not cured, and the remaining money was just enough for the burial."

"Eighty dollars?" The old thief gasped, "Is this man so worthless?"

"We! We are humble dogs in the eyes of the nobles." Young Master Evil was also filled with emotion, "The villain also has some friends who travel far and wide, and they say that there are refugees in many places. Those refugees don't say they are eighty dollars, as long as they are willing to give A mouthful of food, the whole family is willing to do cows and horses for him. This man! He is not as good as a straw dog!"

Straw dog: a dog made of grass.

"This is the ignorance His Highness said." The old thief coughed dryly, "Then Chen Fa might find him?"

"Small man..." Young Master Evil wanted to show off, but the old thief smiled sinisterly, and hurriedly said: "Small man, let the brothers inquire immediately, but... there is no wine, meat, or reward for such things, and those brothers are not willing." ah!"

"What about brotherly loyalty?" the old thief asked.

"Brotherhood comes when you are full."

"Take it!" The old thief threw a small piece of silver over, "When you find it, give me another piece!"

Evil Young Master took the money in a hurry, took a bite, looked at the marks, and said happily: "Don't worry, nobleman!"

The old thief and Wang Laoer went to the palace to report the matter.

"Chen Fa?" The King of Qin knew that this was just an idiot, "You can't startle the snake with this matter. It's best to catch them all at once."

"Yes!" The old thief was obviously more respectful, unlike Wang's second child, he looked around like a bumpkin after entering the palace, and asked the servant leading the way to remind him several times.

Jin Yiwei also came to ask for orders, but King Qin only asked them to help.

"When it comes to things like this, you need local snakes to do it. Jin Yiwei is about to enter Chang'an, take your time."

King Qin's expectation made Jielong excited like chicken blood, and kicked out his subordinates, ordering them to develop eyeliner and expand their power.

Chen Fa, at this moment, is in the house separated by a wall in the county office of Chang'an County.

"This is called darkness under the lamp!"

Chen Fa said with a smile.

Sitting opposite was an old man with a rather stiff mustache, looking a little weird, he pointed to the county shed next door, and said: "That man is about to ascend the throne, according to what he did in northern Xinjiang, our life is not easy. "

Chen Fa nodded, "What is the root of the great family? The population in the fields. That scoundrel is good. Last time, when the master was away, he encouraged those servants to come out of the country, more than a hundred thousand people! Those people were heartbroken, but the master's family was not there. What can I do? Well now, the master is back, looking at the empty field with gritted teeth, wishing he could kill that man."

The old man sighed: "This is all fate."

"What fate?" Chen Fa sneered, "Even if you act recklessly, you don't even think that once these aristocratic families and local tycoons join forces, let alone him, Datang will have to be overthrown!"

"The fate that the old man said is the fate of a person." The old man's eyes were full of memories, "Our master, what are those aristocratic families afraid of? Why dare to make a fuss about this before that person ascended the throne? It's all because of this."

"Hey! Then tell me about it."

"In that year, I honored the emperor as a prince, and the court shouted loudly that people in the Tang Dynasty should not be slaves. And the big clan took in the population, and these people no longer paid taxes. If things go on like this, the big clan is rich but the country is weak, and the ministers are strong and the master is weak. Unbearable things."

The old man looked at Chen Fa, "That man wants to ascend the throne. The so-called son does not change his father's will. From his past words and deeds, this man is more radical and sharper than his father's filial piety to the emperor. Don't forget, filial piety to the emperor No matter what, he would not dare to encourage more than a hundred thousand servants to come out of the country. If he was like this back then, he would not have been charged with molesting the emperor's concubines, and would have been abolished long ago."

"Tsk!" Chen Fa clicked his tongue and said, "Both father and son are ruthless people!"

The old man smiled and said: "Father is dead, old man! Look at this son who is perverted, and his good days are numbered."

……

"right here!"

Not far away, the evil young man pointed to the house next door to the county house and said.

The old thief sneered, "Damn, no wonder I couldn't find it, so I hid here."
