Chapter 221 Expansion of the Frontier and Expansion of Lantian County
"You are Yunchu?"

A voice came from behind, Yun Chu turned around, and saw a little old man with a dark face and a square face.

At first glance, he thought he was an old farmer, but when he looked into his eyes, he knew that he was an official, a very big and powerful official.

Officials actually have a smell, some officials smell like scrolls, some smell like copper, and some even smell like rouge, like this official with a muddy smell, this is the first time Yunchu has gotten it. See.

So, he slowly cupped his hands and said, "It's right here."

The person who smelled like mud came out, and the officials who had been standing there waiting to enter the Miyagi immediately dispersed. They might be afraid of blood splashing on themselves.

"A certain family, Liu Rengui, you will find out today about Wannian County's occupation of our land in Lantian County."

Yunchu retorted, "You Lantian County people don't know how to cherish such a good land in Bashang. The people in Wannian County in my Wannian County use it to grow some vegetables and food. Why not?"

Liu Rengui looked at Yun Chu calmly and said, "You have crossed the line."

Yun Chu sneered and said, "It's all the land boundary of my Tang Dynasty. What are you talking about crossing the border? If Wannian County is on the border of Datang, do you believe that I will move the boundary marker of Wannian County to the ends of the earth?"

Liu Rengui: "As an official of the Tang Dynasty, the minimum rules must be followed, and one cannot be unscrupulous."

Yunchu laughed and said, "As long as the people in Wannian County have enough food and clothing, I don't care what Lantian County looks like."

After listening to Yun Chu's words, Liu Rengui's pupils seemed to be gradually shrinking, and he said word by word: "This is what my husband did."

Yun Chu said: "After the people of Lantian County enter Wannian County, I will naturally treat the people of Lantian like brothers and sisters.

If you feel unhappy, you can manage your Lantian County well and don't let them sneak to Chang'an. Also, I heard that you killed a captain Zhechong back then. Now, you can try to see if you can beat him to death I! "

Liu Rengui frowned and said, "Are you still unwilling to give up the land of Bashang?"

Yun Chu shook his official robe and said, "Since you don't cherish the land, what's wrong with letting people who cherish the land cultivate it?"

Liu Rengui smiled contemptuously and said, "Crazy and rude."

After finishing speaking, this guy didn't bother with Yunchu, and when he saw the palace gate was open, he strode into the palace gate and accepted the inspection.

Few of the officials of the Tang Dynasty carried ritual knives when they went to court, but Yunchu had a Tang saber stuck in his waist, standing in the crowd of officials, very eye-catching.

Huang Men, who was in charge of inspecting the officials entering the palace, frowned and said, "Why are you wearing a ritual knife?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It will be used for fighting later."

"Who are you fighting with?"

Yun Chu pointed to the back of Liu Rengui who was going away and said, "Liu Rengui."

Huangmen is also an interesting person. He took away Yunchu's ceremonial knife, pointed to the wat board on his waist with experience, and said, "Wat boards are usually used in fighting in the court hall. If you use a knife, you will be messed up by the palace guards." Hacked."

When Huangmen said this, the palace guards standing on both sides of the palace gate couldn't help puffing out their chests, as if they felt that Huangmen's words couldn't be more correct.

Along the way, Yunchu waved the ivory wat board in his hand, and entered the Tai Chi Palace following the gentleness who kept rolling his eyes.

The Taiji Palace is very large, and the palaces are very spectacular. However, there are so many officials who come to court, so that Yunchu, Wenrou, these small officials can only stand outside, and when the cold wind blows, they all freeze like dogs. Shaking indiscriminately.

"Why can he go in?"

Yunchu pointed at Liu Rengui's back and asked Wenrou.

Gentlely sighed: "The censor of the sixth grade is already very remarkable, of course he can enter the hall."

While talking, he took out two teacups from his sleeve and put them on the danji, and took out a teapot wrapped in a cotton cover, poured hot tea into the cups and said to Yunchu: "Drink some ginger tea to warm your body. "

Yun Chu took a sip of ginger tea, it tasted good, and icing sugar was added, the sweetness was tinged with the hotness of ginger, one sip made one feel comfortable all over.

"You still brought the teapot and teacups with you?"

"My ancestor brought this thing with him when he went to court, and later he was able to enter the palace with a fire dragon to keep him warm, so he passed it on to my grandfather who had to stay outside the palace to suffer from the cold like us.

My grandpa was able to enter the palace later, so he naturally passed this thing on to me. When I can enter the main hall without freezing, I will pass this thing on to other brothers in our family who still need to be frozen. "

"How many members of your family are in this hall?"

"Originally there were five. Later, when my ancestors got older, they usually stopped coming to court. Now, there are four."

Yun Chu smashed his mouth enviously and said, "That's great."

He smiled softly and said: "From now on, you will have one child a year, sir, for ten years. If you find that the previous child is not very up-to-date, you should quickly change your wife and give birth to another child for 20 consecutive years. When you reach the age and status of my ancestor At that time, your family might have a few of them enter the main hall to keep warm.

Take your time, don't rush, we are still young. "

Yun Chu looked around and found that Ruan's words were very reasonable. There were as many petty officials standing on the altar, as if he was as young as Ruan, but there were not many.

Standing in the cold wind, Yun Chu fantasized for a while that the hall was filled with the glorious scene of the Yun family, when he was bumped by Rou Rou's shoulder.

"Listen, Liu Rengui's voice."

Yun Chu quickly pricked up his ears and listened intently, but he couldn't hear very clearly, but what Liu Rengui said was not about the dispute between Lantian County and Wannian County, but about the recent rumors about the royal family in Chang'an City.

Liu Rengui accused the emperor of being too merciful, allowing the things in the palace to be falsified and exaggerated by the people, and then hurt the face of the royal family.

He also begged the emperor to manage the big and small people in the palace well, and don't let the strict palace ban of the Tang Dynasty become a broken wall with holes that can spread any wind.

Not only that, but this man with a strong head also accused Zhao Guogong's eldest son, Sun Wuji, as an internal minister, for not strictly enforcing the law and even being suspected of having a dead body on it, which caused the emperor to almost encounter misfortune in Jiucheng Palace.

Yun Chu looked at Gentle, who was also frightened, at each other.

At this moment, both of them understood that the magistrate of Lantian County, who had no chance to go to court on weekdays, took advantage of the opportunity of a lawsuit with Wannian County, and came to court to solve Li Zhi's worries and problems.

It wasn't until this moment that Yunchu and Wenrou didn't know that Li Zhi had never given up on the investigation of He Lan's death. The reason why he was so peaceful during this period of time was probably because he was waiting for this person named Liu Rengui to find a chance Going to Beijing.

Liu Rengui's voice became louder and louder, even if the censor thought he had lost his dignity in front of the palace, he even scolded the censor in front of the palace.

"The one being scolded is my second uncle." She said softly.

"Isn't this person worried about being killed by Zhao Guogong?"

"You can't kill him. Liu Rengui is a courtier left by Emperor Taizong to His Majesty today. That's why he is already a sixth-rank official and a county magistrate. Emperor Taizong has been suppressing this person all the time. He wants to promote Liu Rengui. Your kindness is left to His Majesty today.

It seems that the time has come for Liu Rengui to get promoted and make a fortune. "

Sure enough, when Yun Chu was half-frozen to death, the eunuch Duanhong's soft voice sounded in the hall.

Liu Rengui was promoted from the sixth-rank Lantian county magistrate to the fifth-rank Chang'an county magistrate.

This is not a big deal, the magistrate of Chang'an County is only a part-time job, and his own job has actually become one of the four ministers under the door, and he is specifically responsible for deliberating and refuting imperial edicts and chapters.

If there is any objection, the imperial edict can be directly corrected and rejected, and if there is no objection, it will be sealed and reviewed by senior officials under the sect, and then handed over to the Minister of Finance for execution.

There is also the power to review and check the memorials sent to the emperor by all the yamen in the world, check if there are any mistakes, and then correct them before submitting them to the emperor.

In the Tang Dynasty, as long as those who had been in the official position of Shizhong did not commit crimes, [-]% of them became prime ministers.

Rourou listened carefully to the voices from the hall, then whispered to Yunchu: "The land in Bashang is fine, otherwise, it's really unbeatable."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Since he is not the magistrate of Lantian County, why should we give up? Since he is going to be the magistrate of Chang'an County, look, he is the only one who begs us from now on, not me.

We have to decide on the piece of land in Bashang. "

Gentle and worried: "Isn't this too optimistic?"

Before the words were finished, an eunuch came out with a whisk and said loudly: "Xuan Wannian County Wei Yunchu entered the palace."

Wenrou shuddered when she heard the words: "It's not shameful to bow your head to the new job."

Yunchu looked around at a large group of gloating officials, and followed the eunuch into the hall for the first time.

Being led by the eunuchs to the seat of training in the middle of the hall, Yunchu held the wat board and bowed down to pay homage to the emperor.

Yunchu liked the fact that there was no need to bow down in the court of the Tang Dynasty, so he held the wat board and said loudly: "My minister Wannian County Wei Yunchu has an audience with my emperor."

Li Zhi wearing the emperor's hat is completely different from the usual Li Zhi with a bare head. The beads hanging from the hat block his eyes, but they don't prevent him from seeing the expressions of his courtiers through the gaps in the beads.

"Say, why did you occupy the land of Lantian County and beat the captain of Lantian County?"

There was no emotion in Li Zhi's voice, like a talking machine without emotion.

"Weichen saw that the land in Bashang was idle, and felt that it was a pity. Wannian County has always been short of land. In order to make Wannian County self-sufficient in food, Weichen naturally sent people to cultivate it."

Li Zhi was obviously taken aback by Yunchu's words, and Liu Rengui, who had just fought against the Confucian scholars, immediately said, "Where did you send the court's laws? How could you act so recklessly?"

Yunchu raised his head and glanced at Liu Rengui: "Even if it is the royal land, there is room. The common people plant a few beds of vegetables on it, order a few nests of beans, and plant some mulberry hemp. My Tang Dynasty royal family has never pursued it. I have never heard of taking those people down.

Why is your Lantian County different?

It's just some open space in the mountains and forests, the open land beside the tomb, the common people want to plant more food, vegetables, why not?
You are still working in Lantian County, using yamen servants to beat and drive away the people like cattle and horses. I would like to ask County Magistrate Liu, is this Lantian County still my land in Datang?

If your Lantian County is not the territory of my Tang Dynasty, the county captain will order Qi Yamen and Minzhuang to expand the territory of my Datang tomorrow. "
