Vol 2 Chapter 798: Saying nothing is a blessing in disguise

Chapter 798 Without saying a word, a blessing in disguise

Li Zhi fell ill, and Wu Mei was reading a memorandum to him, and by the way, she was talking about her own treatment opinions.

"... Li Yifu and others proposed to re-compile the clan annals and change it to the surname record, with the order of the current official position..."

Wu Mei took a look at Li Zhi, she was the one who took the lead in this matter, and the emperor had always acquiesced.

"The concubine thinks it's not too late for this matter." Wu Mei's voice was a bit more cold, "Those gentry families are too big, and if they are not careful, they will repeat the mistakes of the previous Sui Dynasty."

Li Zhi's vision was blurred, a maid was massaging his temples and forehead behind him, he raised his hand, and the maid left.

Seeing the palace maid out of the hall through blurred vision, Li Zhi nodded his head, his voice was very clear and firm, "The gentry family is beneficial to the country, but it is also harmful, and it will overthrow the dynasty at every turn. I have thought about the harm, but the gentry family is huge. Don't shake it suddenly, so gradually weaken Zhenghe Zhenyi."

He suddenly looked at Wu Mei beside him, and smiled, "What excuse did Li Yifu and the others use?"

Wu Mei was slightly ashamed, "The Wu family is not in the clan annals."

"This reason..."

The Queen's Wu family is not listed in the clan annals, so it's an excuse to bring it up.

"Good!" Li Zhi nodded, and the matter was passed, "Why didn't Mei Niang mention the Wu family? Will the brothers in the family be appointed officials?"

Wu Mei shook her head, her eyes were indifferent, "Since the concubine is the empress, she should abandon the Wu family and concentrate on serving His Majesty."

Wu's elder brothers are all a pack of hungry wolves, especially shameless, if possible, Wu Mei hopes that all members of that family will die.

Li Zhi just smiled slightly, noncommittal, "Yu Zhining made an apology on the memorial..."

Yu Zhining, a tumbler who has stood in the imperial court for many years, was finally implicated in the case of the eldest grandson Wuji today.

Shu is remote and the roads are steep, it is the best place to deal with criminals. When you arrive in Shu, you can only kneel even if you have great ambitions.

Yu Zhining, you also have today?

Wu Mei said coldly: "If it is dealt with, the outside world will inevitably say that His Majesty is cruel and mean, and the concubine thinks... that he can be demoted to Shu."

Li Zhi nodded.

Yu Zhining left, the power structure in the court changed again, and the emperor and empress won a complete victory.

Li Zhi said with emotion: "How many years has it been since I was enthroned... Ten years, ten years, I will try my best, endure it, and even hit today, Datang..." He clenched his fists, "It's finally here! hands."

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Li Zhi shook his head with a solemn expression, "Don't say congratulations. The Tang Dynasty has many shortcomings, and there are many foreign enemies. It's not the time to congratulate. Liaodong, Tubo, Turkic... Western Regions, foreign enemies still exist for a day, I, Don’t dare to slack off in the slightest!”

"On the Liaodong side, just wait for the situation to change, and the Tang Dynasty will strike with a thunderbolt and wipe out Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla in one fell swoop. For Tubo, the concubines think that they have to take it slowly, and don't be in a hurry... As for the Turks, they are just bereaved dogs now. , nothing to fear."

Wu Mei's words made Li Zhi nod frequently, "Your knowledge is quite good."

Wu Mei smiled.

"Your Majesty." A servant came outside, looking rather anxious.

"What is it?"

After Changsun Wuji fell from power, Li Zhi was in a good mood and spoke softer.

The servant came in to salute, and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Gao Yang broke into the official department suddenly, and searched for Li Xianggong all the way, but Li Xianggong escaped through the window, and was chased all the way into the palace by Princess Gao Yang..."

This Gao Yang... Li Zhi said angrily: "What kind of body is Cheng, call her here."

Li Zhi's lips were tightly pursed, and the majesty rushed over like a tide in an instant.

The servant went out and came back later to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Gao Yang has returned."

"Do you regard my place as her garden?" Li Zhi's eyes were cold.

The waiter hesitated to speak, "Princess said...the child is at home and has to go back to take care of it."

Li Zhi slapped his thigh, and said angrily: "Extremely presumptuous, Mei Niang, you have to deal with this matter."

My dog was bullied, but he left the matter to the queen. This kind of thought is quite subtle, and it can be called the emperor's mind.

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Gao Yang used to be impulsive and rowdy, but in the past few years he has changed his ways. Why is that today?"

…

Jia Pingan was worried, and turned back halfway.

"The princess... the princess has entered the imperial city."

Qian Er had a look of admiration on his face, "Princess must be going to vent her anger for Princess Xincheng and scold Li Yifu."

Jia Pingan stared blankly outside.

Scolding...Gao Yang probably did it more often, basically because he has a temperament that he can't compare if he can do it. But whipping Li Yifu, such things can't end.

The sound of horseshoes approaching from far to near, seeing the familiar red color, Jia Pingan sighed speechlessly.

"Oh, Xiao Jia..."

Gao Yang looked surprised.

"Come down!"

Jia Pingan stretched out his hand, and Gao Yang took his hand, and dismounted lightly.

The two went in together.

Arrived in the backyard, Jia Pingan said coldly: "Do you want to do it?"

Gao Yang felt a little regretful, "No."

Jia Ping'an couldn't help being overjoyed, "Sure enough, he understands the general situation and takes into account the overall situation."

Gao Yang sighed: "Someone tipped off the news that Li Yi's mansion ran so fast, I chased all the way into the palace, only thinking that the child was at home, so I hurried back."

If I had high blood pressure, this would blow my head off.

Gao Yang sat down, next to Jia Pingan, and begged: "I will definitely not do anything next time, so my husband can calm down."

When did your words work?

Xiao Ling was worried about Gao Yang outside, and also worried that Jia Pingan and Gao Yang would quarrel, and she was torn for a while.

"Repeatedly taught!"

Jia Pingan, a tough guy with upper body, pushed Gao Yang down, then raised his hand and slapped him.

Snapped!

Is this a fight?

Xiao Ling was startled, and turned around to take a look...

Jia Ping'an was pressing Gao Yang on his knee and whipping him up and down. The lamb struggled with his hands and feet, but became weaker and weaker.

…

Later, Jia Ping'an's voice came from inside.

"There will definitely be people coming from the palace, so remember not to say a word."

"Husband, don't say a word..." That's not my character, Gao Yang! I have to blow it up.

"Do you have the final say or I have the final say?" The tough guy Jia said coldly.

"The husband has the final say."

This voice is charming, as if it can drip water.

Xiao Ling couldn't help but blushed.

Mr. Wuyang is really... very powerful.

Jia Ping'an came out, and Xiao Ling sent him out.

"Mr. Wuyang, if you don't say a word, I'm afraid you will be punished."

Xiao Ling couldn't figure out Jia Ping'an's intentions.

"Punishment is punishment."

Jia Ping'an smiled calmly.

Xiao Ling was bitter.

Later, someone from the palace came.

"The servant was ordered to ask the princess why she chased and beat Li Yifu?"

A servant asked with a cold face.

Of course it’s for Xincheng... But thinking of Jia Ping’an’s words, Gao Yang resisted the desire to speak and remained silent.

"Princess…"

"Princess!"

"Princess?"

The servant returned to the palace to report, and then the punishment came.

"Confiscation of three-year food income, a fine of 100,000 yuan..."

This can be called a heavy punishment.

Gao Yang felt aggrieved, but still followed Jia Pingan's instructions.

Li Yifu got the news from the Ministry of Officials, and felt extraordinarily happy.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

That **** Gao Yang, you also have today?

In the palace, Wu Mei felt a little strange, so she went to talk to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, Gao Yang is a bit weird."

Li Zhi said lightly: "Speak."

"The concubine asked people to question him, but Gao Yang didn't say a word, and the punishment was the same. This is not in line with Gao Yang's temperament. If Gao Yang has his temperament, there will be trouble in an instant."

Li Zhi is also quite strange.

Wang Zhongliang hesitated to speak.

Li Zhi's eyes were not very good, so he didn't notice it.

"Your Majesty."

If you don’t let us talk, you will die... Wang Zhongliang couldn’t help it after all, "Princess Gaoyang and Princess Xincheng are on good terms!"

Huh!

Li Zhi suddenly thought of the matter of Li Yifu driving people to impeach Xincheng.

"That's right, Gao Yangzi is straightforward and loyal. When he learned that Xincheng was impeached, he must be furious..."

Wu Mei also understood, and said quite appreciatively: "Being scolded by the palace without saying a word, this means that she doesn't want to involve Xincheng, and even more so, she doesn't want to take credit. This woman... is not extraordinary."

Li Zhi nodded, "I just said how could Gao Yang have a sudden attack, and even dared to chase and beat the prime minister... come here."

"Your Majesty."

Knowing that he had won the lottery, Wang Zhongliang couldn't help but smile.

The fool!

But today he has indeed made meritorious service.

Li Zhi ordered: "A reward of 3,000 mu of good land outside Gaoyang City, and 200,000 yuan in addition. The income penalty for food towns will be revoked."

Gao Yang was sulking in the mansion, hugging Jia Laosan to complain.

"You, Aye, are partial. It's fine if you favor the two women and children over there, and I can't talk... There is no limit to this partiality. Dalang will grow up to live up to you. compare with your children."

She looked at the child's face, and couldn't help being happy, "Da Lang must be the most promising."

Qian Er was also listless in the front yard, and Du He hadn't replied yet, and the ownership of the concubine was still a problem.

That concubine is a Silla maidservant, with a petite figure and fair skin, she is the favorite of Qian Er. Thinking of losing to Du He, his heart felt like a knife.

There was a knock on the door outside, and he lazily said, "Go and open the door."

"This is…"

A servant came in first, but it was Shao Peng.

Qian Er was shocked.

Don't want to take the princess, right?

"Shao Zhongguan has always been rare!"

He forced a smile.

Shao Peng said with a straight face: "Quickly invite the princess out."

Qian Erru ordered people to go to the backyard as a mourner.

Gao Yang came indifferently.

"Are you going to get me?"

This woman is really tough!

Shao Peng praised secretly in his heart, and said loudly: "The princess is virtuous and virtuous, and she is anxious about public affairs and righteousness... Your Majesty ordered to return the income from Shiyi, and also rewarded 3,000 mu of good land outside the city, and 200,000 yuan..."

Qian Er was stunned.

Shiyi came back and was fined 100,000 yuan, and now he has been given an extra 100,000 yuan...and there are 3,000 acres of fertile land outside the city. This...is a big profit!

Gao Yang was also quite puzzled, but he happily asked someone to give Shao Peng a piece of silver.

Shao Peng declined with a wry smile.

Gao Yang said with a cold face, "Do you want me to take action?"

Gao Yang, with a small leather whip in his hand, looked at him in high spirits, "I just said that the emperor is so smart, how could he punish me, and he suddenly came to his senses."

Shao Peng admired the princess quite a bit, so he nodded, "Princess Xincheng... thanks to the princess for taking care of her."

Gao Yang suddenly thought of Jia Ping'an's words: Keep silent!

This one won the biggest prize without saying a word.

This is... My husband told me to keep silent, because knowing the emperor, they will definitely find it strange, and they will investigate later. This investigation found out that Xincheng was impeached by people from Li Yifu...

I blamed my husband wrongly!

Gao Yang's complexion turned red and then pale.

"Gao Yang!"

The long-lost new town is here.

She looked pale and felt a little weak.

"Why did you come to Xincheng? Come in quickly."

Gao Yang happily pulled her in, and went all the way to the backyard.

As soon as Xincheng entered, he took her hand, his eyes were slightly warm, "Since the consort was arrested, those people I used to associate with have stayed away. I know this is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but I am not satisfied after all. Li Yifu's People impeached me, those people still keep silent...but you...Gao Yang, thank you very much."

Gao Yang blushed, "Oh! Don't thank me, Xincheng, it's not me..."

"Stop talking." Xincheng smiled and said, "You have such a loyal temperament, no wonder you can befriend me."

Her eyes were calm, sitting there like an orchid in an empty valley, "Gao Yang."

"What?"

Gao Yang, who was hugging Jia Laosan, raised his head and smiled brilliantly.

There were sudden fluctuations in those calm eyes, "It's great that you are living like this."

…

"That bitch, you'll have to find out about her. If this old man doesn't mess with her this time, it won't be Li Yifu!"

What is vengeance?

Li Yifu is. Even if the empress punished Gao Yang, he was still planning to deal with Gao Yang.

There was some sarcasm on her thin face, "That woman thought it would be smooth sailing with Jia Ping'an? Naive!"

Everyone agreed, and then they left.

"Hurry up!" Li Yifu couldn't wait, "Taking advantage of the opportunity of her being punished by the palace, the chance of success will be greater."

"Lee Sang!"

Like a gust of wind, the palm holder rushed in. After he helped Li Yifu escape from Gao Yang's pursuit that day, he succeeded in ascending to the position.

"What is it?"

Li Yifu asked kindly.

Zhang Gu reported: "Shao Peng went to Princess Gaoyang's mansion just now and said it was..." He glanced at Li Yi's mansion cautiously, "It is said that it is a reward of 3,000 mu of good land outside the city for Princess Gaoyang, 200,000 yuan...finally , Shiyi was also handed over to Princess Gaoyang."

Li Yifu looked natural and kept a good smile.

"The old man knows."

Zhang Gu resigned.

Li Yifu's smile was stiff and gradually turned into anger. He raised his fist and threw it on the table.

Boom!

"Why humiliate the old man so much?"

A few pieces of paper on the desk fluttered down.

Li Yifu's eyes were cold.

…

"Your Majesty shouldn't care too much about Li Yi's mansion using Princess Xincheng to fight. But Princess Gao Yang's move is a stroke of genius." Di Renjie laughed and said, "Li Yi's mansion is in the midst of the spring breeze, and Princess Gao Yang's prestige has been swept away by such a chase. Gao Yang was punished in the palace. Princess, but in the blink of an eye, I doubled it back, hahahaha!"

Jia Pingan said flatly: "Within five years, this person will definitely fall."

Di Renjie nodded, "This man is domineering, he can be a first-class ruthless official, but he doesn't know how to measure, and he is the way to bring disaster!"

Old Di, you only know what you know... Jia Pingan coughed dryly, "Huaiying, it's almost time for the children to study, don't just focus on teaching your own children, Dalang and Doudou also have to take them with them."

Di Renjie smiled, "You only said last time that you would delay for another year, why? Can't wait?"

Children's education is the most difficult problem for Jia Pingan. He wants to teach them all his knowledge, but he is worried that it will backfire.

"gentlemen."

Zhao Yan came, and greeted Di Renjie, "I met Mr. Di."

"How is your arithmetic recently?" Jia Pingan asked with a smile.

This student is now a mainstay in mathematics, and he has won glory for Jia Pingan.

Zhao Yan's slightly dark face became more dignified, "Sir, a lot of great Confucian scholars have come to Shandong recently, and it is said that they have profound knowledge. Just before, someone came to test me and asked if I dare to argue with those people face to face."

"A group of cowards!" Jia Pingan said contemptuously: "Changsun Wuji has gone, and Yu Zhining has also gone to Shu. Those people felt that there was a vacuum in the court, so they came out. Why is the great Confucianism first? It's the first to create public opinion, and then those nobles are afraid that they will crawl out of the ground... yes, they will crawl out."

Di Renjie said in a deep voice: "Ping An should not underestimate the enemy. Those people are extraordinary, not to mention profound knowledge, and extraordinary momentum. When ordinary people meet them, not many dare to confront them directly."

He said seriously: "Inherited for many years... let them be full of confidence."

Jia Pingan said flatly: "Huaiying thinks I'm afraid of them? It's just a bunch of paper tigers. If it comes to confidence... Huaiying, I have more confidence than them."

Most of these gentry are heirs of Confucianism, but Jia Pingan is the heir of the knowledge system of later generations, how do you compare with me!

Di Renjie couldn't help laughing seeing him staring at him, "So, when will we meet them?"

"Why do you want to meet them on the pole?"

Jia Pingan said in surprise: "They want to create public opinion, why should I cooperate with them? Am I stupid?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Jia Pingan didn't care at all.

After entering the backyard, Qiuxiang followed her and said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, the young lady asked you earlier, and said that Aye promised to buy a pony for her last night... If she didn't buy it, I will give the pony at home to you." she."

DouDou has been coveting the little horse, as has Jia Yu, but Jia Pingan doesn't think this horse is suitable for them.

There are flowers and trees in front, as well as lawns and stone piers, and Doudou is dragging the old turtle out with his buttocks pouted. The old turtle hid under the stone pier, struggling desperately, refusing to come out.

Ah Fu was on the tree, watching this scene lazily.

"The old turtle comes out!"

Doudou leaned back and pulled hard.

"ah…"

Hands are slippery!

Doudou's hand slipped, and he fell backwards to the ground.

"It hurts!" Doudou sobbed for a while, seeing no one around, felt that crying was meaningless, and wanted to get up by himself.

But when she lay down and looked behind, she saw Jia Ping'an.

DouDou's mouth shrunk, "Wow!"

Old Gui hurriedly ran away.

Jia Pingan had no choice but to come over and hug her, and asked, "Why are you crying?"

DouDou rubbed his eyes with his fist, "Aye, the old turtle bullied me!"
