Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 621
As Shi Renji said, land is limited after all, and a large amount of land is in the hands of a few people, and the few people are allowed to bear the state's taxes, so it is not uncommon for a small disaster to cause a major famine.

Since Han Gaozu founded the country, the rich and rich from all over the world were moved to Guanzhong in order to expand the economy of the imperial capital. After hundreds of years of development, this place has changed from a wide town to a narrow one. The economy is the most vulnerable to bankruptcy.

After the incident in Ningzhou, Li Chengqian went to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to investigate. There were [-] government soldiers in Jiangyuan Road who were from Ningzhou, and the number of survivors after the war was no more than [-]. Moreover, the account of the Ministry of Households also recorded the military supplies they contributed. Materials, which made him feel like he was a skinny.

The reason why Shi Renji was not arraigned in the Yamen was because Dou Kuan's statement told the real situation in Ningzhou, and this Shi Renji was an unabashed official who dared to tell the truth.

If you ask in the lobby why the imperial court based the victory of the Western Expedition on the suffering of the people in Ningzhou.It's not just me who loses face, the emperor's face has no place to put it, and even a good official will add to the crime because of this little mistake, which is not worth it.

Although there is some self-blame in his heart, Li Chengqian will still choose this choice to exchange a small price for a big benefit.Now that he heard all the bitterness of the local officials, Li Chengqian felt how wise he decided to meet him here.

With a long sigh, Li Chengqian patted Dou Kuan on the shoulder regardless of Shi Renji who was devouring it, and left a sentence: You can figure it out, then got up and left.

"Shangshu Dou, why did he leave? What's the matter? Now they're all in the water prison? Just invite someone to eat noodles and it's over. Why don't you serve him with a big torture?" Shi Renji, who was bald and curious, looked like a baby. asked.

"Hey, I said Shi Renji, if you can save your life, you kid can have fun. Just now, if you said a wrong sentence, you will be beheaded and your house will be ransacked! What the fuck, Do you think that anyone can eat this noodle? No matter how many people are scrambling behind, they can't get it, and they are so good that they get it cheap!"

Regarding Dou Kuan's answer, Shi Renji snorted coldly, and then said with disdain: "Shangshu Dou, aren't you a little timid, aren't you just a cruel official of the Dushui Supervisor? What's so scary, thanks to you He is still an important minister of the imperial court, one of the ministers, and he didn't dare to talk to the third grandson just now, why is he not as good as me, a Turkic species!
Don't the old people often say that if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well?Look at these young people, they can't do hard work, but they do these dirty jobs, and they are not afraid of having children without assholes! "

When Shi Renji scolded the cruel officials for harming people, the simple and honest owner of the noodle stall threw the kitchen knife in his hand and stabbed it firmly on the table.

Shocked, Shi Renji scolded: "What the hell, boss, it's not like you don't get paid for eating your noodles. Do you want to kill someone?"

Hehe, after laughing twice, Dou Kuan waved his hand at the boss, signaling him what to do, then turned his head and said with a low laugh: "Boy, I have seen a lot of officials of all kinds in my life, but no one Dare to say what you said, the young man you scolded just now is the current crown prince, and the angry boss is the inner guard, do you think he took advantage of you by giving you a knife?"

With a bang, Shi Renji fell off the stool, then pointed in the direction Li Chengqian left, and muttered: He, he, who is he?

While pouring water, Dou Kuan replied: "You think highly of me. Who is Dai Zhou, Dali Temple Minister? He is a minister who came out of the hidden mansion. My official and others are important ministers. Why should he do it without formalities?" Just let me fish you out easily. Is it really a joke to treat the law of the country?

Do you think it's possible without His Highness's letter?Besides, if you made Wei Zheng like that, the Ni Bodhisattva is still angry, if you don't have His Highness to protect you, can you still live? "

Dou Kuan said the truth, Wei Zheng was really angry. Since he became an official, it can be said that he has had countless enemies, but no one dared to humiliate him with rat meat.When this old man returned to Beijing, he played a book to the emperor, and asked the emperor to behead and ransack the house of this guy who despised the king's law, made fun of the imperial envoys, and wasted public money to please the country gentry.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian agreed with Dou Kuan. Although it did not conform to the court's laws and regulations, he was in a hurry to follow the power, human life was greater than heaven, and it was reasonable to make a slight mistake.Shi Renji is a little more careful in his work, but he is still an upright official. The so-called meritorious deeds are not as good as deeds. If the court pardons him, then he will definitely be more diligent.

Besides, his father, Shi Danai, was a minister of Yuan Cong in the West Mansion. Although his abilities were mediocre, his loyalty was indeed commendable. You must know who was sitting in this world at that time, but there was no one to count.The Tang Dynasty has always treated meritorious officials favorably, and the imperial court also said that they discussed relatives and nobles. Shi Renji was wrong, but he was also out of public interest, after all, he did not seek personal gain from it!

Wei Zheng certainly disagreed with this point of view. After all, the laws and regulations are very clear. Since the imperial court wants to rectify the administration of officials, it should strictly enforce the law and punish those who break the law. Why should Shi Danai's son do it.

During the stalemate, Li Chengqian had no choice but to wink at Changsun Wuji and Dou Kuan, telling them to come out and "control violence with violence".

Afterwards, Changsun Wuji started by saying that Wei Zheng's nephew was involved in the treason case and leaked the forbidden Chinese language, while Dou Kuan said that the prime minister could not take private revenge just because he ate some rat meat, and started a fierce battle. Finally, with an absolute advantage of two to one, he won a big victory in Zichen Palace.

"Boy, you are a blessing in disguise. There are so many state governors in the Tang Dynasty. It is a great kindness for the crown prince to not offend Wei Zheng and help you excuse him! However, you really dare to say anything. That's all, you, the governor, don't know what crime it is to insult the current crown prince!"

Seeing that Shi Renji was still in a daze, Dou Kuan helped him up, sat down again, took out two notebooks from his sleeve, pointed to them and continued: "Here is a leather slip for the official department, from now on you The governor of Ningzhou on the fourth grade is the one, and the other is the tax paid by Ningzhou last year, and the Ministry of Households will return it three times.

The prince said, I will give you three years, if Ningzhou can be governed, you will be promoted to a higher rank, otherwise you will be punished for both crimes, beheading and ransacking your home.When you are full, go do it yourself, and set off as soon as possible. "

After reading the book, Shi Renji got up, took two steps slowly, knelt down in the direction of Li Chengqian's departure, cupped his hands and shouted loudly: "Chen Shi Renji thanked His Royal Highness for your kindness, and I promise to take care of you." Every copper coin is spent on the common people, otherwise the gods and men will kill together!" After speaking, he knocked his head hard three times, and the common people who came and went thought he was this madman, and walked away from him.

No one wants to die if he can live. The prince did not look down on him just because he is a Turkic caste like everyone else. Instead, he gave him a great favor.What's more, with so much money and food allocated, he is willing to pay a hundred for this material as much as he can do for Ningzhou this time.

"Okay, don't fix these vain things, he can't see it, just do what you should do." Dou Kuan said loudly while eating noodles. .
