Chapter 892 The heart of an emperor is made of iron and stone
Located in the Imperial College of Wubenfang, Wang Kuan, who offered sacrifices to wine, was drinking tea.
He took a sip of tea, and said comfortably: "It's better to drink this kind of tea, fragrant but not greasy, with an elegant aftertaste, which makes people have endless aftertastes! It's a pity that the person who made this kind of tea is morally corrupt and dares to blaspheme gods..."
"Sacrificial wine."
The Three Musketeers of the Guozijian gentry are here.
Lu Shunyi came in and said with a smile: "It's delicious tea, this old tea man thinks it's good, but the person who makes the tea is corrupt and dares to blaspheme the gods..."
It turned out to be the same as the old man thought... Wang Kuan became more and more happy, "Heroes see the same thing! Gentlemen, please sit down."
When the three of them sat down, they could all see joy.
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Then Jia Ping'an attacked Buddhism as soon as he came back. Some people said that he was taking the blame for the prince, but the old man knows this person's temperament..."
Wang Kuan shook his head, "Jia Ping'an said at the beginning that Fang Wai has too many fields and people."
"This is consistent." Li Jingdu said indifferently: "I also have a few friends outside of Fang, I went to discuss this with them yesterday, and they were all filled with righteous indignation."
Lu Shunyi just felt extremely happy, "The old man thinks that the prince's words are probably due to his previous agitation. Think about it, he has said similar things before, and now the prince will say it again..."
Everyone sneered.
Wang Kuan put down his teacup, "It doesn't matter if his family is depraved, but he should never have done it. He should never have spoiled the prince. Everyone... the country should not be ignored!"
This is Guozijian, the place where people are taught and educated.
Wang Sheng said coldly: "How can such people enter the palace to teach the prince? This old man thought... it's time to move, let him get out of Chang'an City."
"It's just a clown." Lu Shunyi said indifferently: "My family has a lot of friendship with Fang Wai, and those Fang Wai people have been in touch with my family a lot these days. Fang Wai was criticized like this, and our Shandong gentry would not Sit and watch!"
Merged!
Wang Kuan praised: "Good!"
The Three Musketeers retired later, and the attendant who was waiting on them said inadvertently: "Jijiu, these gentry have made good friends with Fangwai people, they are really pious..."
Wang Kuan took a sip of the lukewarm tea, and frowned dissatisfiedly, "Some of them are friendly friends, but many of them are just playing tricks..."
The entourage wondered, "Shandong gentry are not short of money, so there is no need to play tricks."
There was more sarcasm in Wang Kuan's eyes, "People are not gods, they are all eating and drinking, how can they be noble? Those gentry families choose one person to become a monk, and bring a large number of field servants; or directly donate the field servants to Fang Wai seems to belong to Fang Wai, but in fact they still belong to their family, not only are they exempted from taxes, they are also free from criticism, this is the means."
He sighed and said: "There are a lot of discussions in the court about the aristocratic family with many fields and many servants, and there are even impeachments from time to time... Who dares to criticize the transfer of the land servants to Fang Wai's name?"
The follower suddenly realized.
Then he went out to take out the trash, and watched the Three Musketeers walking slowly ahead, with a steady pace. When a student came out on business, he respectfully saluted them when he saw them, and the three of them nodded slightly.
The student praised as he walked: "You are very personable, you are indeed a gentleman from the gentry."
The entourage stood there in a daze, and poohed forward for a long time.
"Bah! Gentleman...hypocrite!"
…
Jia Ping'an was forcibly left behind by Ren Yaxiang.
"Your Majesty was furious just now!"
Ren Yaxiang sighed: "Your Majesty said that there are rumors that Fangwai has occupied a large number of fields and servants, which is almost an enemy country... Your Majesty ordered Baiqi to investigate these rumors..."
Let Baiqi check the rumors, this... is very spiritual!
This is not a rumor.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Jia Pingan solemnly bowed his hands at the palace.
"Everyone thought that His Majesty wanted to calm things down and let you take the blame, but I didn't expect..." Ren Yaxiang's eyes were full of admiration, "Your Majesty said again that rumors stop with wise men. Since there are rumors, then let Fang Check the population of the fields outside, after all... you are not afraid of the shadow if you are upright!"
Poof!
Jia Pingan sprayed tea all over Lao Ren's face.
this…
The body is not afraid of the slanting shadow, that is to say, but Fangwai has as many fields as a cow's hair, and the people who cultivate them are also as many as a cow's hair, it can't stand the investigation!
Ren Yaxiang looked at him blankly, and Jia Pingan hurriedly got a towel to wipe him.
"Young people should be steady."
Ren Yaxiang said earnestly, but he didn't mention the "ugliness" of the prime ministers when they heard these words
…
"Ren Yaxiang coughed as if he was suffering from tuberculosis. Li Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes. Master Xu Yu shouted that it must not be done. The traitor in Li Yi's mansion looked ugly, as if he had been beaten up by someone, but he shouted "Your Majesty!" wise…"
Xu Jingzong said these words non-stop, and then panted, "Xiao Jia, I brought tea for this old man, ouch! My throat is burning."
Jia Pingan got up and went out, and made him a cup of tea later.
Old Xu likes to show off... The inventor of fried tea makes tea for me personally, isn't it amazing?
Jia Pingan just laughed.
Drinking a sip of tea, Xu Jingzong said happily, "It's going to explode outside, what His Majesty said can blow Fang Wai apart."
"There are such pious masters in Fangwai." Jia Ping'an has heard a lot of them, "They took monks to the wilderness, built temples, opened up wasteland, and built everything for themselves, and they can also appease the hearts of one party. Dade."
Jia Ping'an immediately entered the palace.
It's time for him to teach today.
Li Hong obviously accumulated a lot of questions and wanted to ask them, but Jiang Feng and the others were watching from outside, worried that they would bring up some explosive topics.
"Uncle, what do you think are the pros and cons of outsiders?"
This question is very explosive!
Jiang Feng looked at Zhang Song with a sad face, wondering if he should stop him.
"That's a good question."
Jia Pingan did not choose to evade.
I knew my uncle would give me some answers.
"What's the use of Fangwai?" Jia Pingan said calmly: "Prince, to answer this question, you need to study history, and read it carefully. It's not to be complacent when you know what a certain monarch and minister said, but to think about deep-seated issues. For example, why Fang Wai has been valued by all dynasties instead of expelled."
"yes."
The prince was obviously disappointed.
Jiang Feng and Zhang Song breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "He doesn't dare to **** anymore."
The two smiled at each other.
After class, Li Hong went to look for history books, but there were too many, so he called someone to help.
"Let's start from the front."
He has read a lot of content, and now he only pays attention to Fang Wai's affairs, so he looks down.
"...two-legged sheep?"
"The dire situation is not enough to describe. The Han people were reduced to pigs and dogs, slaughtered and cooked, and ravaged wantonly..."
Prince is very busy.
"Your Highness, the Empress sent someone to say that it's time for dinner."
The prince who looked down at the history books shook his head, "Tell Aniang, Gu will eat later."
This night it was late in the evening.
"I got it!" Li Hong cheered and looked up, only to find the empress standing in front of him.
The table and the ground are full of books... piled up like a mountain!
Cao Yingxiong and several literate servants, including Hao Mi, are looking for records related to Fang Wai...
"Aye, Niang!"
Li Hong stood up and wanted to salute, but just as he stood up, his legs went numb and he fell down.
"How long have you been sitting?" Li Zhi asked with a straight face.
Zeng Xianglin said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has been sitting here since morning."
Except for changing clothes, the prince never got up again.
This kid is stupid! Wu Mei frowned, "Get up and walk."
Don't move your legs are numb, take your time...
The crown prince who was carried away yelled and felt that his legs were like ten thousand ants eating his heart...
"Teach me a lesson and I will know next time."
Wu Mei looks like a tiger mother at the moment.
Li Zhi couldn't bear it and said: "Don't move your feet, the more you move, the more numb you will be."
Wu Mei couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty also had this kind of experience?"
"Too much."
Li Zhi leaned over to pick up a volume of books, and said: "I also loved reading at that time, and often sat and forgot the time, so that when I got up, my feet were numb and I couldn't stand up, eh..."
What did he see?
"Isn't this what the late emperor said to Fangwai?"
Li Hong made people let go, and said: "Aye, I asked my uncle Fang Wai's pros and cons earlier, but he didn't answer. Let me read the history books myself to see why Fang Wai was reused by the emperor instead of being expelled..."
Li Zhi said lightly: "Do you know?"
Li Hong nodded, and Li Zhi was quite surprised, "Your son, if you are wrong, I will punish you to teach your two younger brothers tomorrow."
Li Hong couldn't help making a bitter face... Those two younger brothers gave him quite a headache,
Li Xian is difficult to teach with a straight face, but the younger Li Zhe is quite naughty, he is still young if he wants to teach him a lesson, he has to bear it if he doesn't teach him a lesson.
"Tell me." Wu Mei smiled.
Adults feel that the world of children is extraordinarily simple. In their eyes, children’s words and deeds are extraordinarily naive. They always feel that they have seen through everything...
Li Hong's eyes lit up, "I checked a lot of emperor's remarks about Fang Wai, Aye, I found a secret..."
Li Zhi put his hands behind his back and asked calmly, "What secret?"
Li Hong said excitedly: "Except for those emperors who believe in Fang Wai, whenever they value Fang Wai, it is a time when there are many conflicts in the country..."
Li Zhi turned around and went out blankly.
"Aye..."
Li Hong didn't know whether Aye's reaction was good or bad, so he looked at Wu Mei.
This child...Wu Mei came over, stretched out her hand to touch the top of his head, and said happily, "Goro has grown up."
The corners of Li Hong's mouth were cracked, and his eyes were filled with joy, "Amiang, am I right?"
Wu Mei nodded, "You are right."
She walked out and walked to the side of the emperor.
"This kind of method is not bad." Li Zhiwen said: "Let Wulang go to the history books to find the answer."
Wu Mei clasped her hands in her wide sleeves, and said with a smile: "Ping'an taught Goro to do his best. If it were another person, he would impose his own ideas on Goro, but Ping'an didn't. He likes to let Goro find the answer by himself."
"Whenever the country is not stable, the emperor will worship or use Fangwai, and use Fangwai to calm people's hearts... This was the case during the Emperor Gaozu and the first emperor. It was even more so in the former Sui Dynasty...I have passed."
Wu Mei said softly: "At this moment, I am afraid that the shout of the faint king is about to come from outside."
Li Zhi said indifferently: "I don't care about these things. What I care about is the prosperous age, the glorious and prosperous age. Although Emperor Wu was outstanding in martial arts for a while, he left a mess to his descendants. I admire Emperor Wu, but I don't want to take advantage of him. Do it recklessly."
…
"Many people say that His Majesty is a fool."
Li Chunfeng came to Jia's house once in a while, and Jia Ping'an hurriedly made tea for him.
"Many people from the Taoist sect found the old man and shouted that Your Majesty is wise." Li Chunfeng couldn't laugh or cry.
Jia Ping'an was also taken aback, but it became clear when he thought of the struggle between the two families.
Buddhists are outsiders, while Taoists are local households. Taoism is developed according to the local culture...
"Those masters practice alchemy all day long, and they only want to ascend to immortality, and they don't care about the world of mortals... It's good, but it's too noble."
So the Daoist sect has been suppressed, and the poor ones were beaten severely.
Li Chunfeng pointed at him with a smile, "For the old man, the Tao is the knowledge, soaring to immortality, the old man has never thought about such things. But the old man came today to tell you..."
His expression was serious, "Those gentry clan leaders have activated, and His Majesty should feel the torment..."
He was worried that Jia Pingan didn't understand, "The aristocratic family and Fang Wai have always had friendship. Now that Fang Wai is being suppressed by the emperor, the aristocratic family will naturally stand up for them."
Shen Qiu came later.
"We came out in private this time."
Shen Qiu said that he would come out in private, and immediately ordered fine wine, and took a few big gulps with his head raised.
There was a touch of blush on his fair face, Shen Qiu stroked his hair, "The memorials were as sparse as flying snow, His Majesty ignored them at first, but later there were too many, and it made people tidy up...It was discovered that many of them were from aristocratic families..."
Jia Pingan raised his glass and took a sip of the wine, and said lightly: "This is what happened to Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty. If your majesty wants to be a famous emperor through the ages, he must bear this kind of suppression, otherwise everything will be smooth... There has never been a smooth sailing Mingjun in the world."
Shen Qiu smiled and drank a few more gulps of wine, got up and said: "We are going to get a few people..."
"Good to go."
Jia Pingan did not stop him.
Shen Qiu turned around when he reached the door, "The emperor and the empress are one body, Your Majesty is suffering a lot, and the Empress can't be alone. Today, Your Majesty did not go to court, and some fell ill... It is the Empress who is coming to court."
Sister, this... is actually facing the imperial court?
The empress is here!
Jia Pingan nodded, Shen Qiu shook his head, "We never knew you were so ruthless, but this kind of thing is extraordinary, and it is understandable for you to be afraid that you will be smashed to pieces, so I leave."
Jia Pingan just watched him leave calmly.
Yun Zhang came up quietly, "Mr. Lang, this matter is not trivial... think twice before acting."
"At least you didn't encourage me to share the empress's worries, I am very pleased."
Jia Pingan stood up with a smile, "The emperor's heart is made of iron and stone, but my sister is suffering, but I have to take action."
Don't talk about sister, he can't just sit back and watch his nephew suffer.
"I don't know who among the nine people is from the palace, but since I entered Jia's house, I have never looked at the palace again." Yun Zhang said softly: "I found home in Jia's house. "
Jia Ping'an turned around and glanced at her, "As long as you treat the Jia family as your own, this will be your home from now on."
Yunzhang looked at him with complicated eyes, "When I left the palace, someone asked me if I would go back, but I refused."
This woman is interesting.
Compared to young women like Sanhua, Yunzhang is like a ripe loquat.
"The Jia family never disappoints everyone who has a heart for the Jia family. The ladies and I will not, and neither will the children."
After a few words, the two completed their statement.
Yun Zhang blesses the body, "I am very happy."
Jia Pingan entered the backyard.
"Wu Shuang, Su Ho, I'm going out for a while, and I guess I won't be back until night."
"knew."
Sanhua shook her head, "I have been in Jia's house for many years, but I still can't imagine that Langjun's family is like an ordinary family. Back then, if my father had something to say, he would ask the maid to explain it, and then go out..."
Yun Zhang said indifferently: "I don't comment on your father's quality, but a gentleman like him is the one who lives. People don't want to put on airs, but to live. Some people like to put on airs, thinking that in this way they can show their own strength. Majesty; some people... like a gentleman like to live a relaxed life, he is comfortable, and his family is also comfortable."
Sanhua's complexion was a bit ugly, Yunzhang said with a light smile: "After decades of life, no one can say who's life is good? But it's so pleasant to fight with each other and fight with each other."
Hongyan enviously said: "Yunzhang, what you said is really good. Back then, when Mr. Biao and Mr. Biao lived together again, it was even easier..."
At that time, the two brothers of the old Jia family ate a meal of mutton, and they leaned together happily, talking nonsense, talking about the difficult life in Huazhou.
Sanhua waited for Yunzhang to leave, then found a maid from the palace and asked, "What does Yunzhang do in the palace?"
The maid glanced at her, "Better than you."
There was more contempt in those eyes, "Your family is a nobleman in Korea, but when Yunzhang was proud, he used such means... Don't hold a grudge against her because of what you said earlier, otherwise don't blame me if you are unlucky someday Didn't remind you!"
Sanhua's heart tightened, and she forced a smile, "Why should I be afraid of her?"
The maid chuckled, "She doesn't need you to be afraid, let alone deal with you, but don't provoke her..."
Thinking of Yunzhang's temperament, Sanhua couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but said stiffly: "I walk upright and sit upright, who am I afraid of?"
The maid just smiled, "That's good, the little lady has come out."
"Aye! Aye!"
Running out, searching like a gust of wind for a while, and finally returned to the backyard with pouting mouth.
"Aye left me again, mother! Mother!"
Su Ho had a headache, "Wouldn't it be nice for me to take you out to play?"
Doudou shook his head, "No, I just like Aye taking me out."
…
Jia Ping'an came out in a carriage.
When Sixth Street was playing drums, he appeared outside Da Ci'en Temple.
Da Ci'en Temple was about to close the door, when one foot got stuck by the door, Chen Dong said in a deep voice, "My lord asks to see the master."
The monk glanced at the carriage in astonishment, "You have to go back when you play drums on the Sixth Street, who is your husband?"
"Gong Jia of Lingling County!"
A monk came out later, "Open the door and let the carriage come in."
The carriage entered, and then the gate closed.
Jia Pingan got off the carriage and later saw Xuanzang who was preparing to have dinner.
"Meet the mage."
Jia Ping'an has a lot of respect for this real eminent monk, and he salutes sincerely.
Xuanzang smiled and said: "The poor monk knows that you have come here for something, but let's have a fast meal first."
"I'm bothering you."
The two ate a fast meal together, and someone brought clean water after the meal.
Xuanzang's eyes were clear, like the bright moon in the sky, "In the past few days, many people have found poor monks, and they are quite indignant at the suppression in the palace..."
Jia Pingan sat on his knees, slowly raised his head and said, "Master, Fang is in danger!"
