Chinese dining table

Even after accepting Yunchu's bribe, Liu Rengui refused to tell him the configuration of the secret formula of gunpowder they researched.

He just told Yunchu that the big explosion in the imperial city was the real contributor to advancing gunpowder research.

Yunchu believes this sentence, because the classic formula of gunpowder is a ratio of one, two, and three.

In work, or research, such a ratio is easy to get out inadvertently.

Yunchu even suspected that someone mixed the three materials according to this ratio, or close to this ratio, and then encountered fire or static electricity, and then it was bad.

In scientific research, accidental factors have contributed to many great researches, which sometimes makes people wonder whether some things were invented by human beings, or whether there are some gods helping them.

Just like the big corvee in the capital that Yunchu and Liu Rengui made, after only six days, it couldn't go on.

Because, the rainstorm is coming.

This torrential rain came extremely suddenly.

Before a cup of tea, the sky is still cloudless, but after a cup of tea, the sky is covered by thick dark clouds.

A gust of cold wind blows over, and before people can enjoy the rare coolness, fork-shaped lightning strikes appear one after another.

The originally spectacular crowd of tens of thousands of people working together immediately dispersed. There were too many people and too few places to shelter from the rain.

The stupid officials didn't allow the people to hide under the big trees, so tens of thousands of strong men were chilled by the pouring rain.

The farmers looked at the dark sky and the heavy rain in front of them. In the morning, they thanked these people for pouring water into their fields. Now they only hope that those people will not pour water into their fields.

As soon as the heavy rain started, it seemed that it would never stop, so the farmers left their shelters one by one, frantically pushed aside the ridges of their fields, and began to lift so many people up with great effort The water is then released from the fields.

In the eyes of Yun Chu and Liu Rengui, this scene was as ironic as it could be.

Only they know that this time the recruitment of city residents into corvee is not a simple matter of corvee.

The two of them want to make corvee service a normal thing for urbanites.

It's all right now, I was messed up by God, and I did a bad thing with good intentions. Next time I talk about conscripting city people to serve in corvee, someone will spit on the faces of both of them.

No matter how much benefit Yunchu and Liu Rengui have done for Wannian and the people of Chang'an County, at this moment, the reputation of one messing with the county magistrate and the other messing with the county magistrate is forfeited.

Moreover, right away, the two of them will be attacked wildly by the censors from all walks of life. After all, this time, Yunchu and Liu Rengui really committed public anger, and those nobles and big households who had the least number of people, It must be the most powerful group of people who attacked the two of them.

These smart people, who are monkey spirits and monkey spirits, have already seen the unfriendly side of Yunchu and Liu Rengui towards them from this government's decree of universal corvee.

Rourou was about to die of laughter, and the official in Yunchu told him with a rolling laugh, that Yushitai alone had received no fewer than two hundred memorials impeaching the two of them for their misconduct.

These memorials are not only from Yushitai, but also from many officials in the six ministries of the three provinces. They analyzed from various angles the policies that harmed the people promulgated by Yunchu and Liu Rengui, and brought pain and harm to the people.

This time, all the examples they gave were from ordinary people, such as the fact that the only man in the family was conscripted away, which caused the blind old woman in the family to cry and go blind.

For example, in that so-and-so family, the only person in the family who could work was smoked, causing the mother-in-law and baby in the family to starve for several days.

The most outrageous thing is that there is also a memorandum from Si Tianjian. From the perspective of the relationship between heaven and man, it was analyzed for the emperor.

In short, this time, Yunchu and Liu Rengui became broken drums, two broken drums that could be beaten by thousands of people.

No one paid attention to the original intention of Yun Chu and Liu Rengui to implement this decree. In the officialdom, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. Everyone only looked at the results, and they would be punished for doing bad things with good intentions.

If bad intentions accomplish good deeds, they will naturally be rewarded.

Fortunately, criticize, the officials who impeached the two of them are low-level officials, and the highest-ranking impeacher is an official of the fifth rank, which is equal to Liu Rengui's rank.

The bosses will not make a move at this time, because it is too embarrassing and shameless.

It never occurred to Yun Chu that for the first time in his life, he entered the palace hall not to receive praise or awards, but to receive criticism from the room full of people.

After entering the main hall, Yunchu discovered that Tang officials took off their shoes and sat on futons when they went up to court, and only when they needed to speak would they stand up and go to the middle to speak loudly.

On the left is the phalanx of military generals, headed by Yinggong Li Ji, and on the right is the phalanx of civil servants, headed by Changsun Wuji.

One of the censors from Yushitai who came out first, first talked a lot about Yunchu and Liu Rengui's improper governance in recent years.

Yun Chu held the wat board and listened intently. After he finished speaking, the sweat on Yun Chu's forehead came down, because he always thought that he had done a good job. The matter of killing many people has been brought up.

Naturally, there was also the matter of forcing two debt-debt officials to death, and finally made adult bone specimens for exhibition.

Among them, the big mistakes made by his subordinates in the past few years when Yunchu was in power, each and every one has its origin and provenance, and there are even witnesses and testimonies.

If all these crimes were put on Yunchu, even Yunchu himself felt that even if he was dragged to five horses and quartered, it would not be regarded as wronging him.

Fortunately, the servant censor said one last thing.

"This officer has made a lot of mistakes. However, being an honest official and doing things fairly is worthy of recognition. There are many mistakes and few right ones. Your Majesty please judge."

After finishing impeaching Yunchu, the imperial servant dressed in a big red robe returned to his futon with the wat board in his arms and sat down on his knees, closing his eyes.

Originally, the censor was ready to come out and continue to scold Yun Chu, but since the censor in red robe scolded Yun Chu enough, and finally gave him a compliment, those people gave up and continued to criticize Yun Chu. initial plan.

This censor, Shi Yunchu, knew him because he was gentle and his father was gentle.

After hearing Wen Ting's impeachment, even Li Ji, who seemed to be asleep, opened his eyes and took a look at Yun Chu.

Of course, there is also the strange look in Changsun Wuji's eyes.

Finally, Li Zhi spoke, as long as this guy speaks in the Golden Palace, his voice will be flat without any fluctuations, just like the electronic voice heard by later generations of Yunchu.

He didn't dismiss Yunchu as an official, nor demoted him in rank, nor did he cut Yunchu's five horses into pieces in a fit of anger, scolding him severely. However, the real punishment was a half-year salary and five hundred catties of copper.

Yun Chu hurriedly thanked him, but for some reason, even if Li Zhi knew it was a political trick, he still couldn’t be grateful for Li Zhi’s way of punishment. become.

However, as soon as this idea came up, he was strangled to death.

The matter of Yunchu is considered to be settled. In the future, if the censors want to impeach Yunchu, they can only start with his mistakes from today onwards. The previous mistakes have been written off by the emperor.

After Yunchu, a low-ranking official, was dealt with, everyone was going to face Liu Rengui, who was holding the wat board, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

At this point, Yunchu finally knew why the officials of the Tang Dynasty were so afraid of the official censor.

I finally understood why Emperor Taizong was violently attacked by the three corpse gods attacked by Wei Zheng's courtiers, and why he needed empress Changsun to comfort him.

The censor and the officials easily let Yun Chu go, but directed all their firepower at Liu Rengui.

If Yunchu's crimes are in their mouths, enough to be divided into five horses, then the impeachment and accusations that Liu Rengui is facing at this time, if Liu Rengui is not turned into meat and fed to dogs, he will be sorry for the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

There are as many as six charges for deceiving the emperor alone.

It may be that Liu Rengui has faced this kind of situation too much, and he still stands in the middle, watching his nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart. For the accusations of the censors, he should be chanting sutras.

When those who impeached Liu Rengui were thirsty, Liu Rengui even hugged the wat board and saluted the emperor: "I know I was wrong."

Through a layer of beads, Yun Chu couldn't see Li Zhi's expression clearly, probably Li Zhi was also thinking about how to punish Liu Rengui.

With the fine salary, Liu Rengui's family was destitute, and if the salary was stopped, Liu Rengui would probably become the first fifth-rank official who was starved to death because of the emperor's fine salary since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The fine of copper is also a common fate. According to Yunchu's knowledge, the biggest sum of money in their family is actually a large handful of bamboo chips that Yunchu gave Liu Rengui some time ago.

The money saved in the past was sent back to his hometown by his wife to build a house. It is said that he can build a big and nice thatched hut.

As for demotion, it is estimated that Li Zhi has not even thought about it. He promoted this person with great difficulty. The few things he has done recently are very in line with the emperor's heart, so of course he can't do it anymore.

I don't know what Li Zhi was thinking, but finally he said: "Liu Qing's fault lies in blind obedience. Even if I want to punish him, I will punish the chief culprit severely!"

While Yunchu was looking around to find the culprit, Li Zhi continued: "For Liu Qing's fault, we will pay to Wannian County Chancellor Yunchu, and fine him five hundred catties of copper, as a warning to others."

After hearing the emperor's will, Yunchu suddenly felt as if his head had been severely chopped off with an axe.

He didn't feel sorry for the little money, but felt that he, who had always been a habit of throwing the blame to others, would be held in a huge scapegoat for no reason today.

Moreover, just above the court hall of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi put the huge pot on his back without the slightest hesitation.

What do you mean by "Liu Qing's fault, you should pay Wannian County Prime Minister Yunchu?"
