Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 196 Uncle Fang, Thank You for Saving My Life
Li Shimin was unmoved.

Let Jin Wuwei take Xiao Rui down.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Rui may not be ignorant."

"It's a coincidence that he arrives early or late, but at this time."

Fang Yuan walked to Li Shimin and said.

It is not impossible that the father rebelled, but the son did not know.

But Xiao Rui's arrival was quite a coincidence, so people couldn't help but wonder if there was any mystery.

More importantly, Fang Yuan and Xiao Rui have a grudge, Fang Yuan will not let him go easily just because of this.

"Fang Yuan, you fart!"

"I don't even know what happened!"

Xiao Rui cursed suddenly, struggling to break away from Jin Wuwei's hand and rush towards Fang Yuan.

But the Jinwu Guards are all elites, Xiao Rui struggled a few times before being forced to kneel on the ground.

"Fang Yuan, don't wrong my son!"

"Please don't involve him in the grievances between us!"

"Your Majesty, Xiao Rui really doesn't know anything, please spare his life!"

Xiao Yu stood up and roared at Fang Yuan.

He wanted to rush towards Fang Yuan, but was blocked by Li Junxian.

Fang Yuan stared coldly and did not speak, after all the real decision maker is Li Shimin.

"Xiao Yu, I don't want to be so unfeeling for our monarch and his subjects."

"If you cooperate with explaining Bishamon, I can consider not holding Xiao Rui accountable."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

He wished he could kill the father and son with one blow.

But he cared more about Bishamon's information, and he had to think about Princess Xiangcheng.

"I"

Xiao Yu opened his mouth and struggled.

"You are stupid!"

"Come here, put Xiao Yu in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and no one will be allowed to meet."

"Xiao Rui was stripped of all his official positions and placed under house arrest in the consort's mansion. Without my will, he is not allowed to leave the consort's mansion for half a step!"

Li Shimin was furious and ordered.

Xiao Yu and his son were taken away.

At this time, the imperial physician in the palace arrived and treated Du Ruhui.

After the diagnosis of the imperial physicians, Du Ruhui's arrow was not deep and the injury was not serious.

It was because of his own poor health, coupled with severe pain, that he fell into a coma.

After treatment, Du Ruhui quickly got rid of the danger and was sent back to Du's residence by the Jinwu Guard.

After Du Ruhui was sent away, Fang Yuan found a little girl like ceramic standing beside Empress Changsun.

It is also the missing Princess Changle.

After the fight was over, Empress Changsun thought of her daughter, and ran into the room by herself, only to find that Princess Changle was asleep, so she was woken up.

"Fang Yuan, this time I want to thank you very much."

"If it weren't for your wit, I and the queen would have been in trouble."

Li Shimin patted Fang Yuan's shoulder heavily and said.

The virtuous minister Ying Meng is the virtuous minister Ying Meng, who relieved me of a huge crisis.

First came the issue of guilt, then the issue of tens of thousands of refugees on the Yellow River dam, and now.

Everything is the most important thing, it is a great contribution, and it is a contribution that cannot be rewarded too much.

"Your Majesty is being polite, that's what a courtier should do."

"But His Majesty punished Xiao Rui like that, is the punishment too light?"

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

He really wanted Li Shimin to add an official to him again.

But this idea is impossible in a short time, the promotion is too fast.

The current Chang'an Order is not bad either. It is in charge of the entire Chang'an County and there are many things that can be done.

"Let Xiao Yu see hope and tell me about Bishamon."

Li Shimin explained.

Xiao Rui is not sure whether he knows about this matter.

More importantly, tell Xiao Yu that he intends to let his son go.

If he is willing to cooperate, then Xiao Rui will also be able to obtain opportunities such as prosperity and wealth.

But if you don't cooperate, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless, and would rather let Princess Xiangcheng be a widow.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Fang Yuan pursed his lips, he was very reluctant to boast.

He slandered in his heart, if you had paid close attention to Zheng Guanyin, you might have already figured out Bishamon.

But Fang Yuan didn't intend to tell Li Shimin Zheng Guanyin's problem, at least he didn't intend to tell him personally.

Because that would embarrass Li Shimin, and there is no evidence to prove that Zheng Guanyin is related to Bishamon.

"Chang Le, say thank you to Fang Yuan."

At this time, Empress Changsun pushed Princess Changle and said.

The relationship between Empress Changsun and Li Shimin is very good, I have heard about Fang Yuan several times from Li Shimin.

Knowing that Fang Yuan's position in Li Shimin's heart is extraordinary, and if it is not for Fang Yuan this time, the consequences for their family will be unpredictable.

So I think Princess Changle should also thank Fang Yuan.

As soon as Fang Yuan heard it, he wanted to express his thanks.

But at this time, Princess Changle had already spoken, which stunned Fang Yuan.

"Uncle Fang, thank you for saving your life."

Princess Changle bowed slightly.

A pair of big eyes looked at Fang Yuan full of curiosity.

"Uncle Fang?"

"Princess, can you call me Brother Fang or Brother Yuan?"

The corner of Fang Yuan's mouth twitched and said.

Suddenly there is a feeling that the years are urging people old.

Even though he was still young, he was called an uncle.

And the other party was a girl of nine or ten years old.

After doing the math, there is not much difference between myself and Princess Changle.

"Puff, hahaha."

"Fang Yuan, do you want to be my junior?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

In the past, he communicated with Fang Yuan several times to conceal his identity, and he regarded Fang Yuan as a friend.

And seriously, he and Fang Yuan are only a few years apart, they are indeed of the same generation.

Empress Changsun and Princess Changle also covered their mouths and smiled when they saw this.

"Your Majesty said it very well."

What else can Fang Yuan say?

The emperor meant that the two of them were equals.

Could it be that he still wants to surrender his status with the emperor?
"Alright, Fang Yuan, thank you for your hard work tonight."

"I wanted to give you some rewards, but you are promoted too fast, and rewards will be looked down upon."

"But don't worry, I will keep it in my heart, and I will count it for you when the time comes."

Li Shimin smiled, and said solemnly.

Fang Yuan contributed a lot tonight, but Fang Yuan was promoted too fast.

Rewarding good things now, I am afraid that more people will be jealous.

He was also worried that Fang Yuan himself was too proud and could not control himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fang Yuan was not surprised.

He also understands this.

Li Shimin was able to tell him this from the bottom of his heart, which moved him a little.

Li Shimin nodded, and ordered Jin Wuwei to open the way ahead and drive back to the palace.

"Goodbye, Uncle Fang."

Princess Changle giggled.

Mischievously waved his hand to Fang Yuan.

It seems to be calling Fang Yuan that way on purpose.

"Goodbye princess."

Fang Yuan was relieved, he waved his hand and said.

After Li Shimin left, Fang Yuan also left with Xue Bowu and others.

The scene was handed over to Li Junxian, who was responsible for the follow-up work.

Silent night.

It's as if nothing happened.

But well-informed powerful families already knew something.

The pitch-black city of Chang'an is undercurrents surging, like a black beast devouring people's hearts.

Xiangcheng Princess Mansion.

Xiao Rui was escorted back and informed Princess Xiangcheng.

The princess of Xiangcheng was shocked, she scolded Xiao Rui, ordered people to watch Xiao Rui, and entered the palace overnight.

Xiao Rui has always maintained the appearance of his dead father, devastated, until he returned to his room to show a fierce look.

He and Princess Xiangcheng have been sleeping in separate rooms until now.

At this time, on the stool in Xiao Rui's room, sat a man in black dressed like the Bishamon military division.

"Military division, save my father!"

With a plop, Xiao Rui knelt down in front of the Bishamon military adviser.

"It can't be saved, he just asks for blessings."

"The medicine is for you. Don't contact the organization before you have an official position."

Military division Bishamon said indifferently.

He got up, opened the door, and disappeared into Princess Xiangcheng's mansion.

Xiao Rui got up and walked to the seat where the military commander Bishamon was sitting just now. There was a box on the table.

He held the box tightly in his hand, like a wounded beast, let out a hoarse growl.

The next day, the upper echelons of Chang'an City shook.

Song Guogong Xiao Yu used Princess Changle as a bait to lure the emperor to the mansion, intending to assassinate her.

Fortunately, Du Xiang, Chang'an Ling and others arrived in time to stop the accident. For this reason, Du Xiang was seriously injured and is currently unconscious.

For a moment, the officials were shocked, and they all felt unbelievable.

But many dignitaries understood what happened last night, and they were sure it was true.

But in the face of such a big event, all the ministers in the early court became silent.

Li Shimin dismissed several people in the early court, and also deprived Xiao Yu of all his titles. He barely ended the matter by scolding the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

But all the ministers knew that the matter was not over yet, because the real mastermind behind the scenes was Bishamon, and Bishamon actually invaded the Duke.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examinations in all states have ended, please Your Majesty decide on the opening date of the Beijing Examination."

Changsun Wuji stood up at the risk of being scolded.

He received the official document that the last state and county imperial examinations were completed yesterday.

The imperial examinations in Zhuzhou and counties of the Tang Dynasty have come to an end, and it is time for the imperial court to hold the last imperial examination to decide who will be awarded the gold medal.

"The Beijing test will be held today one month later."

"The examination is organized by the Ministry of Officials, and the Chang'an Order is responsible for all questions about the candidates."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and ordered.

After he finished speaking, he did not allow Changsun Wuji and other ministers to refuse, so he left directly.

Changsun Wuji and others knew that the emperor was in a rage, so they didn't dare to say anything else.

Just handing over all the candidates' questions to Chang'an made Fang Yuan upset many ministers in the court.

Every year, ministers who are in charge of candidates' examinations and candidates' questions are competing for it, and ministers want to participate in it.

Because being in charge of the imperial examination is to get close to the candidates, it can be regarded as forming a good relationship with the candidates, and even leaving a teacher-student intention and so on.

Although the relationship is not very good, but a trace of relationship is retained, and it will be much more convenient to contact any candidate who enters the officialdom in the future.

Candidates are happy, examiners intend, although there is no express regulation, every year the imperial examinations are fought by ministers, and the fight is serious.

But now, the emperor has decreed and made a decision, and the culprit is Changsun Wuji.

For a moment, the way the ministers looked at Changsun Wuji changed.

Although Changsun Wuji is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he also feels chilly all over.

He didn't stay long, and left immediately after the court was over, regardless of the eyes of the ministers.

Anyway, the responsible organization is the Ministry of Officials. As for the candidates' questions, they can find Fang Yuan if they want to.

At this time, Fang Yuan was working in the county government office.

He is the kind who doesn't go to the morning court without asking.

It was Fang Yuan himself who was too lazy to get up so early, and it was also a matter of his official position.

The Chang'an order is in charge of the affairs of Chang'an County, and he is very busy every day.

Sometimes there are things to do early in the morning, and you can't be busy after the morning court like those ministers.

Fang Yuan didn't seem to have much work in the past few days since he took office, but in fact he hasn't completely taken over from the county magistrate and chief secretary.

At this time Ma Zhou was also there, he came to thank Fang Yuan.

He saw the results of the emperor's inspection that day, and he was appointed as the supervisory censor.

The rank of the supervisory censor is not high but the authority is wide. When Wei Ting was in Liaozhou, all three of them were able to interrogate Fang Yuan, which shows that it is unusual.

"Fang Ling, I won't say anything if I'm grateful. You can ask me if you have anything to do in the future."

Ma Zhou said solemnly and gratefully.

Thanks to Fang Yuan, he finally started to step into the officialdom.

And it was the supervisory censor he wanted, who could show his talents quickly.

"Brother Ma, if possible, I still hope that we can be friends."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

The supervisory censor is another ally.

With Ma Zhou's ability, he will be promoted very quickly.

In the future, more helpers will be needed to secure a stable court.

"This is the county government office, I will call you by your name in private!"

Ma Zhou was very grateful.

Fang Yuan is at the fifth rank, he is only at the eighth rank.

Fang Yuan didn't underestimate such a big difference, which greatly moved Ma Zhou.

Friends are not flattery when you are triumphant, but help when you are down.

Fang Yuan is not only his friend, but also his bole, a noble person in this life!

"Okay, when will you take office?"

Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

"It should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Ma Zhou said uncertainly.

He had just received the imperial decree from the palace.

Come and tell Fang Yuan the good news as soon as possible.

Judging from what the eunuch said, it should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"I wish you a prosperous career!"

Fang Yuan blessed him with tea instead of wine.

"Thank you."

"Then I'll go first."

"I have to move out of Chang's house and find a place to live."

Ma Zhou paid back to Fang Yuan, got up after drinking tea and said.

After entering the officialdom, he is no longer a down-and-out person who depends on others.

He wanted to find a place to live and gradually develop a higher position in Chang'an City.

Fang Yuan stood up and was about to ask if he needed help when the eunuch Wang De arrived.

"Wang Gonggong, why bother you to come in person?"

Fang Yuan greeted him quickly, and asked in surprise.

Ma Zhou was also surprised, and followed Fang Yuan to greet him.

As the eunuch next to the emperor, Wang De was highly respected although he had little power.

"Fang Ling, good thing."

"The imperial court will hold a Beijing test on today next month."

"Your Majesty has already said that the Chang'an Order is responsible for all questions about candidates."

Wang De said with a smile.

Under Fang Yuan's leadership, they sat down under the tea table.

Ma Zhou was very interesting, after Fang Yuan and Wang De sat down, he immediately poured tea for them.

"Everything?"

Fang Yuan said in surprise.

This power seems to be a bit large.

Ma Zhou on the side was also surprised, but didn't interrupt.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty asked the villain to tell you privately."

Wang De nodded heavily and said in a low voice.

But he didn't continue talking, but looked at Ma Zhou who was aside.

Ma Yiyi was stunned, and immediately understood, and got up to avoid the conversation between the two.

"Wang Gonggong, this is His Majesty's new supervisory censor, it doesn't matter."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

It can be regarded as recommending a wave of Ma Zhou to Wang De.

Of course, Fang Yuan didn't know whether Wang De knew Ma Zhou.

But the source of this love was given to Ma Zhou, and Ma Zhou immediately burst into tears of gratitude.

"So it's Ma Yushi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Wang De looked very polite in Fang Yuan's face.

Because he knew from the emperor that the emperor valued Fang Yuan very much.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the prince please drink tea."

Ma Zhou laughed repeatedly and poured tea for Wang De.

"Your Majesty asked the villain to tell you privately."

"If you want to handle the examinee's question at your own discretion, you can handle it at your own discretion. If you don't want to, you can also entrust the minister to help."

Wang De said bluntly.

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Eunuch."

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then thanked him.

After explaining the matter, Wang De will not stay any longer.

"Fang Ling, congratulations, Your Majesty has a lot of trust in you!"

After seeing the people leave, Ma Zhou said excitedly.

He was only appointed as the supervisory censor today, and he was an ordinary person before today.

He didn't know what happened in Duke Song's mansion last night, nor did he know Fang Yuan's position in Li Shimin's heart.

"It's both good and bad."

"Brother Ma, help me."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

He knows the key.

The emperor asked Wang De to explain in private, which shows that it is unusual.

"You said."

Ma Zhou asked directly.

"Song Guogong has fallen, and he wanted to assassinate the emperor last night."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

Before he finished speaking, Ma Zhou cried out in shock.

The passing yamen servants looked over in surprise, and left quickly after seeing Fang Yuan behind.

"Don't panic too much, it's normal for you not to know."

"Song Guogong's relationship must have many problems. You should keep an eye on them and impeach them if you find any problems."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yu has fallen, but Xiao Yu's relationship has not regressed.

The morning court passed today, and Wang De only talked about the imperial examination, that is to say, Xiao Yu's matter did not have any greater impact.

Based on Xiao Yu and Xiao Rui's resentment towards him, they didn't dare to do anything to the emperor, but they definitely dared to do something to themselves.

Rather than being attacked by them, it would be better to attack on your own and make Ma Zhou stare at them.

As Ma Zhou, it was too easy to stare at them.

If something happens, I can support myself.

"do not worry!"

Ma Zhou nodded heavily.

He had heard that Xiao Yu had impeached Fang Yuan in the court.

Also learned that Fang Yuan once broke into Song Guogong's mansion, the two had some grievances.

It is estimated that Fang Yuan wanted to take revenge, but whether he wanted to take revenge or not, Ma Zhou would help with this.

"Okay, then I'll get busy first."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

Ma Zhou understood, so he didn't stay any longer.

After he left, Fang Yuan called the county magistrate, the master book, and a group of doctors.

"On this day next month, the imperial court will hold a Beijing test."

"His Majesty has decreed that I will take full responsibility for all the candidates' problems."

"You all talk about how to handle this matter?"

Fang Yuan looked at them and asked.

When in Liaozhou, the imperial examination was held after Fang Yuan left office.

Therefore, although Fang Yuan founded Liaozhou Academy, he has no experience in holding imperial examinations.

"Fang Ling, are you in charge of all the candidates' problems?"

Zheng Mingzhu and others were surprised.

They have been in the Chang'an county government for many years.

In previous years, they were not in charge of the Chang'an County Government.

The most is to arrange some manpower to be responsible for safety.

Now that Fang Yuan is in full charge, they were shocked and couldn't believe it.

"That's right, let's talk about how to operate it."

Fang Yuan nodded, said calmly.

"Fang Ling, when the Beijing exam was held in previous years, the candidates' residences were rather messy. Many candidates reported that they were noisy and couldn't sleep, and there were even accidents such as theft."

"The subordinates think that centralized management is the best. The inn is fully contracted and only provided for candidates to live in. This is convenient for management and does not worry about all kinds of accidents."

Xu Shihui was the first to comment.

He also followed Fang Yuan to Chang'an City.

Fang Yuan arranged to be an ordinary doctor of the county government.

Xu Shihui has considered the upcoming imperial examination these days, so he has done some research.

I learned that the imperial court did not pay much attention to the imperial examinations, and the care for the candidates was not in place, and there were a lot of chaos.

"That's a good suggestion, any other suggestions?"

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Have someone register the suggestion.

After the discussion is over, it will be optimized and perfected.
