Man Tanghong

Chapter 793 Unhealthy Wind
Li Yuan saw that Li Shentong, Zhang Pinggao and others nodded in unison, and agreed with Pei Ju's statement, so he let Zheng go.

"Then let them go..."

Li Yuan's tone was very unfriendly, and his expression continued to be tense, as if he was reluctant to let Zheng Shi go.

Seeing this, Pei Ju hurriedly said, "Although Mrs. Zheng didn't know about Zheng Shanyi's affairs, Mrs. Zheng is also responsible for teaching the disadvantages. Why don't you ask Mrs. Zheng to offer some grain to relieve the food shortage of the people in Duji Province?" ?”

The other people in the hall, especially the military officials, looked intriguing when they heard this.

Whether the people in Duji Province are short of food or not, if others don't know, how can they not know?

Since Duji Province has experienced several military disasters, the number of Dingkou in the region has dropped to an extremely low number. In order to restore the local vitality as soon as possible, the former Qin Palace and the imperial court have done a lot of work.

The local people also received a lot of land.

When Liu Heita was conquered before, Li Shimin had some policy inclinations towards Duji Province, and Li Yuanji also contributed to the people's livelihood of Duji Province.

The imperial court also resettled all the refugees from Hebei Province to Duji Province, so that every household has a house to live in, and every household has land to rely on.

Coupled with the smooth weather in Duji Province in recent years, it can be said that the harvest of Duji Province in the past two years has been very rich.

Today, the food in Duji Province can not only meet the needs of Duji Province, but also supply part of the food needed by Chang'an City.

In addition, in order to communicate the goods from Chang'an to Dizhou, and the goods from Chang'an to Yangzhou, the Water Transport Yamen also established a huge transfer terminal and a huge warehouse in Luoyang, Duji Province.

As a result, there is not only no shortage of food in Duji Province, but also a variety of cheap goods.

It can be said that if Chang'an was not the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the living standard and convenience of life in Chang'an would not be as good as Luoyang.

It can be seen how well the development of Duji Province is.

Therefore, it is pure nonsense to say that there is a shortage of food in Duji Province.

The reason why Pei Ju said this was purely because he saw Li Yuan's reluctance in his heart. In order to prevent Li Yuan from always thinking about Zheng, he gave Li Yuan a step, and also gave Zheng a way to relieve Li Yuan's love for them. opportunity to tie.

Logically speaking, Pei Ju, who was born in the Pei family, has no relationship with the Zheng family. It is really intriguing to spare no effort to help the Zheng family.

However, Pei Ju had already made a step up, and Li Yuan also knew that this matter alone was not enough to win the Zheng family, so he readily agreed to Pei Ju's way of 'atonement'.

"Since Pei Qing has said so, then I will give Pei Qing such face. Let's let this matter go, and there is no need to mention it again in the future."

Li Yuan said with a face-saving look.

Pei Ju bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you Saint for your kindness."

Between singing and singing, this matter is completely over.

However, Li Yuan just said that there is no need to mention this matter in the future, but he didn't say that he would not find other excuses to deal with Zheng Shi in the future.

This time, Li Yuan gave enough face to Pei Ju and other senior officials, and also gave enough face to the spokesperson of the aristocratic family in the court. Next time, if something happens again, Li Yuan will have an excuse not to give face.

It can be said that Li Yuan's plan against Zheng's this time is closely linked.

As long as Mrs. Zheng took Zhang Liang's bait, Mrs. Zheng would become his meal.

The specifics depend on whether Mrs. Zheng bites Zhang Liang's bait.

However, Li Yuanji estimated that the possibility of Zheng biting the bait is extremely high.

After all, the Zheng family is a wealthy family no matter what, and they were still important nobles in the court before.

Although he is a bit down now, it is not something Zhang Liang, a small prince, can step on.

So this time Zheng suffered a big loss in the court, lost a lot of face, and almost offended all Wu Xun and Li Yuan, and they would never get it back from Zhang Liang.

Otherwise, how would the Zheng family gain a foothold in the wealthy family in the future, and who would be afraid of him?

Therefore, Li Yuan's bait, Zheng's, is necessary, and Zheng's will definitely become Li Yuan's lunch.

And Li Yuan himself seemed to have never planned this matter. After dealing with Zheng Shanyi and lightly letting Zhang Shenwei go, he ordered the musicians and dancers in the hall to continue playing and dancing.

The hall once again entered a state of a group of demons dancing wildly.

Everyone in the hall celebrated once again.

Look at the bright smiles on everyone's faces, as if nothing happened before.

This dance of demons lasted all night.

During this period, many people twisted their feet, and many people twisted their waists, and many people sneaked away carrying the maids or dancers in the palace.

Finally, according to Liu Junyi's statistics, more than 200 palace maids and dancers were carried away at the New Year's Eve banquet.

When Liu Jun reported this number to Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji was dumbfounded.

"What did you say?"

In Zhaode Hall, Li Yuanji, who just woke up and rushed to Zhaode Hall, was stunned after listening to Liu Jun's report.

Liu Jun bowed and repeated in a low voice: "Returning to Your Highness, this New Year's Eve banquet, there are more than 200 missing maids and dancers in the palace..."

The specific Liu Jun was listed in a booklet and handed over to the case table.

Although civil servants and generals did it secretly when carrying people, how could they carry people in the palace without hiding them from the eyes and ears of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

So that palace maid and that dancer girl were carried away by that civil and military eunuch who happened to be in the Tai Chi Hall and made records.

After reading through the records carefully, Li Yuanji said in astonishment, "My Uncle Wang carried away two?"

Can he take it? !

Liu Jun couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness Prince Huai'an has been very restrained this year. In previous years, he would carry away four or five."

Li Yuanji resisted the urge to ask Li Shentong if he could bear it, and complained: "She is really old-hearted..."

Liu Jun said with a cheerful smile: "Who says it's not, only Duke Pei and Duke Qu Tu carried one away."

Li Yuanji opened his mouth, completely at a loss for what to say.

Just like the veteran officials of the Tang Dynasty, they will die in the belly of a woman sooner or later.

Pei Ju and Qu Tutong, one is over 70 years old, the other is almost 70 years old, and they carry away those fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls in the palace, and they still think that a pear tree will crush the crabapple, so they are not afraid that their bodies will not be able to carry it, and they will die in the palace. bed.

This means that in Datang, the atmosphere is relatively open, and meat and vegetables are not taboo.

If this were placed in Daming, before Zhu Yuanzhang could open his mouth, Ma Dajiao would go to various houses with a knife in his hand to question his crimes.

Everyone is an adult, and they are all decent people, so there is no limit.

"Whatever you did in previous years, let's do it this year."

After being silent for a while, Li Yuanji said in a speechless voice.

This kind of atmosphere has been cultivated by Li Yuan, and if he wants to change it, it will not be possible to change it in a short while.

but……

"What do those eunuchs mean?"

At the end of the record, Li Yuanji saw several people and carried away several eunuchs.

The court hall of the Tang Dynasty was full of men. It was reasonable to be so beautiful, but what does it mean to carry the eunuch away?
That's a man!

Although incomplete, he is still a man!

Hearing this, Liu Jun hesitated, and said hesitantly: "Probably there is another magical effect..."

There was only so much he could say.

Some things are not convenient for him to say in front of Li Yuanji.

But Li Yuanji fully understood what he meant, frowned slightly and said: "This unhealthy trend must be curbed! Send someone to tell them to return him before dark, or I will personally go to their house to ask for it." people!"

Li Yuanji doesn't like him, but he won't forcibly stop him.

But this kind of atmosphere is not worth advocating.

Because for a group of powerful and rich people, once this kind of atmosphere is developed or encouraged, they will attack boys.

Li Chengqian in history was destroyed by this.

This is teaching the next generation of Datang badly, persecuting the next generation of Datang, or hindering the population growth of Datang.

Most importantly, this kind of thing is also contrary to human nature.

Therefore, they must be suppressed, banned, and the alarm must be sounded for them from time to time.

A good boy, who will contribute to the country in the future, is sold by you, subjected to various inhuman tortures, and finally trained to be a plaything of a good man. Isn't this inhumane?
Moreover, the comparison among the rich and powerful is very strong.

Your family has it, but mine doesn't, so I will definitely find a way to have it.

In this case, once this trend rises, it cannot be contained.

Therefore, this unhealthy trend must be curbed in advance.

"what?!"

Liu Jun was obviously a little unbelievable about this, and after yelling in astonishment, his face was blank.

Li Yuanji glared at Liu Jun and said, "Ah, what, you can go if you are told!"

Liu Jun hesitated and said: "But... since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there is no precedent for anyone who was carried away during the New Year's Eve banquet to come back?"

Li Yuanji snorted coldly: "If there is no such precedent, I will set this precedent. It's fine for them to carry away those palace ladies and dancers, but what are they carrying away those eunuchs?
Serve them?

Do they qualify? "

When Liu Jun heard this, he understood why Li Yuanji wanted him back.

He felt that Li Yuanji felt that these people were overstepping.

Although his understanding is very different from Li Yuanji's original intention.

But this did not prevent him from understanding Li Yuanji's order and carrying it out.

"I understand, I will do it right away."

Liu Jun didn't say any more words, and didn't procrastinate in the slightest. After bowing and saluting, he left Zhaode Hall.

In the matter of passing or not, the royal family has the final right of interpretation.

There are etiquette, but the royal family can make it not.

What is not in the etiquette, the royal family can also allow it.

The royal family doesn't need others to think it, but only needs to feel that it's overstepped, and has the qualifications to set the rules of overstepping, then it can be said that you overstepped according to this rule.

So when it comes to things like surpassing, Liu Jun won't hit a single stumbling block.

Liu Jun's work efficiency is very high, and he brought people back in the evening.

However, Li Yuanji didn't have time to take care of it, because Liang Shidu, the leader, took the initiative to attack the Turkic people when the cold weather was counting nine days and the Turkic people were in Wodong.
