Chapter 948 Road
In the early morning, Xincheng slowly opened his eyes.
She stood up slowly, and then the maid came in.
After dressing and washing, Xincheng walked slowly in the yard.
It was foggy last night, the soil was moist, and the branches and leaves of the flowering trees were darker. Crystal clear drops of water hang from the branches, dripping unsteadily, colliding with the ground lightly, and then splashing everywhere.
The bird stood on the branch and twittered, turning its head from time to time to trim its feathers with its beak.
A snail was struggling to climb up the wall, leaving a wet trail behind it.
On both sides of the trail, clumps of green grass gradually grow taller, and an unknown flower blooms in the grass.
Xincheng bent down and saw the dew glistening on the little flower, so he stretched out his hand to touch it lightly, and then smiled.
She walked all the way to the edge of the pool, and stirred the water with her hand, but the big fish thought they were feeding and gathered around.
"He brought the fish food."
Huang Shu was surprised, thinking that the princess didn't care to feed any fish in the past, what happened today?
The fish food was scattered in the pool, and the fish were fighting endlessly.
Xincheng turned around, and Huang Shu found that her expression was calm and comfortable like never before.
But as the female officer next to the princess, she felt that she had to remind the princess of some things.
"Princess, many people in Chang'an City gathered for business last night, and most of them were talking about Duke Jia..."
She said worriedly: "The princess walked with Duke Jia yesterday, and there are already some gossips outside, saying that the princess was bewitched by Duke Jia..."
"Bewitching what?"
Xincheng said indifferently: "The emperor sent a prince to welcome Xiao Jia. This is the attitude of the royal family. I am a princess, and Xiao Jia is on good terms with me. How can I back down when encountering such a thing? It just so happens...today the kitchen will make some small dishes. Dim sum, if you send it to Jia’s house later, just say it’s from me, with a lot of fanfare!”
"Princess!"
Huang Shu didn't expect Xincheng to be like this, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
Xincheng stood with his hands behind his back, "Live in the moment... as long as it doesn't hurt others, I can do whatever I want. So I can do whatever I want, just go!"
Huang Shu was bitter, but she didn't dare to disobey her orders, so she went to the kitchen to get some snacks, and asked Fang Zheng to open the door.
Tongguifang is not far from Daodefang. After passing through two squares to the east, it is Daodefang, which can be called a neighbor.
When we arrived at Daodefang, many people gathered behind the gate of the square and waited for Liujie to play drums.
Jia Ping'an and his cousin are also there.
"I have met Duke Jia."
Seeing Jia Pingan's relaxed expression, Huang Shu couldn't help thinking that this was life and death, "This is food given by the princess."
Jia Pingan took it and opened it, took a piece and ate it, "It tastes good, thank you, I will tell the princess later, I will go out more when I have time."
"yes."
Xincheng will deliver food at this time, this gesture...Look at Jiang Rong's mouth...It's no problem to throw a seal in.
"Mr. Jia, take care!"
A resident handed over.
An old man said solemnly: "I just found out yesterday that Junjun Jia spoke for me and other people, and was hated by those nobles. Just go, Junjun Jia, if someone wants to do something... Yeah, you are not free, let's talk about it after killing you." !"
"right."
"Your Majesty has sent His Highness the Crown Prince down. It can be seen that His Majesty also has his heart for us."
"Of course His Majesty has his heart for us, but some people said that if we can study, the benefits of those nobles will be much less, so they want to kill Duke Jia!"
"Dream!"
"They still want to suppress His Majesty!"
"..."
Jia Ping'an cupped his hands, and then went out of the workshop.
At this moment, countless people are rushing to the imperial city.
The officials looked different when they saw him.
Many people snorted when they saw him.
But more people will look at him with admiration when they see him.
Why should the common people be pigs and sheep?
Even a cowardly old farmer in the mountains will still scold the injustice of this era after drinking a few bowls of dirty wine.
Why are those people rich and powerful for generations, but we have worked hard in the fields for generations but can’t have enough food and clothing!
Farmers can’t eat enough, weavers can’t wear clothes...
Why?
Countless people questioned themselves, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh.
Jia Ping'an's memorial is like a bomb, blasting out the dissatisfaction that has been settled for a long time.
"Today is your death day!"
Someone behind him said gloomyly.
Jia Pingan turned around and swung his whip without hesitation.
Snapped!
"ah!"
A man covered his face and screamed.
"Mice!"
Jia Ping'an said contemptuously: "You and the others only know that you are making profits for your own family, but you use high-sounding excuses. It is shameful enough to describe your family. What should I say... a moth of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Hello!"
Someone shouted in the dark!
All the way to the outside of the Ministry of War.
"Meet Duke Jia!"
Menzi's voice was several heights higher than usual.
There was affirmation in those eyes.
Justice has never disappeared. When you stand with these ordinary people, you will feel the vigorous power!
Ren Yaxiang was making tea, Jia Pingan entered the guard room, and said with a smile, "Is today a good tea?"
Wu Kui muttered, "I can't even afford good tea."
Complaints are not small.
Jia Pingan sat down lazily, and ordered: "Go to my side to find Chen Jinfa, and ask him to bring my tea pot."
Ren Yaxiang's eyes lit up, "But the best one?"
"certainly."
Ren Yaxiang was tempted. "Then just brewing good tea can make people feel refreshed."
When the tea came later, Ren Yaxiang carefully got some out, and then put the tea pot under the table.
"You don't see anyone all day long, the tea leaves will get damp if left out."
It's better for the old man to solve it for you.
The three people drinking a pot of tea are intoxicated.
"Sir, it's time to enter the palace."
The little official reminded Ren Yaxiang outside the door that it was time to go to court.
Ren Yaxiang stood up, "Xiao Jia is at ease!"
I am very relieved!
Jia Ping'an also got up, "I asked the palace for instructions yesterday, and we will go to court together today."
Wu Kui couldn't help but look sideways, "Today is a gathering of high-ranking ministers, and you will be the target of public criticism if you go now, Duke Jia."
“It’s useless to avoid many things, just face them.”
Li Zhi ate breakfast, and immediately made tea.
"Today will be a big battle, put a few more tea leaves to refresh me."
Two tea leaves each time you make tea, that is, to bring some flavor.
Wang Zhongliang showed embarrassment, "Your Majesty...Mr. Sun has already said it, so it can't be exciting."
"Jia Ping'an said it!"
Li Zhi said angrily: "You can't eat this, you can't drink that, so why are you still alive?"
"Your Majesty!"
The queen is here.
"I'm about to go into labor and still like this, hurry up and hold her up."
Wu Mei walked in with difficulty and was helped in, handed the tea to the emperor herself, raised her eyes and said: "After all, the powerful families are the great harm to the dynasty, and today is the beginning of the battle with them. Your Majesty is doing well."
"Meiniang still understands me."
Li Zhi said with a smile: "From the Sui Dynasty onwards, Koryo was a great disaster, but it was destroyed in my hands. From the former Sui Dynasty, the Yang family and his sons have been thinking about weakening the family's family all the time, and the first emperor is the same... how dare you fight with the family's family?" The only one who faces... is me!"
Yang Jian made up the imperial examination, a sharp weapon that deviously weakened the powerful and powerful families, but he did not dare to face those powerful families in the end.
The first emperor also took action, for example, repairing the clan records...
These are all piecemeal, and it seems that there is a lot of movement, but the aristocratic families just sneer.
The imperial examination is a genius-like invention, but since its appearance, it has become a carnival place for middle- and upper-class families...Look at those who passed the imperial examination, how many of them are ordinary people?
Even if ordinary people pass the imperial examination, they will still be lost in the officialdom... Almost all the officialdom is people with backgrounds. You, a commoner, will run into walls everywhere and be blocked by class barriers.
It’s like Di Renjie, some people say he is a son of a poor family... Sorry, Di Renjie is a son of an official.
However, the first emperor's clan annals were more like an act of venting anger. After it was produced, it seemed to elevate the status of the royal family, but in the eyes of the world, the gentry was still superior... The first emperor wasted so much effort that later Li Yifu wanted to flatter his feet and proposed Repair the surname record.
These roundabout measures did not damage the foundation of the gentry, so they became a joke.
But Li Zhi made an extraordinary move. The first time he made a move, he directly suppressed the Guanlongmen faction, which had never happened before.
Last time he faced the Guanlongmen Clan, this time he will face the powerful class headed by the Shandong gentry, this emperor...
"Your Majesty is brave!"
This emperor, who was hated and belittled by later history, has never lacked courage!
…
The monarch and his ministers are all here.
There was a crowd of courtiers, Li Zhi glanced at it, and no longer had the intention of probing the minds of the courtiers.
An official came out to impeach.
This is just the beginning.
The emperor looked calm.
The queen is about to give birth, so he can only face it all alone.
"Your Majesty, a woman accused Jia Ping'an of entering a private house and raped her... the whole family can testify, and the neighbors heard the screams."
There is a lot of voices!
Jia Pingan is considered a high-ranking and powerful person now, and he suddenly laughed among the officials.
"This person dares to be so unscrupulous, Your Majesty, Jia Pingan...be punished!"
The courts of the Tang Dynasty were never happy to shout and shout, but today they made an exception.
Jia Ping'an is going to dig up the roots of the superior people, so they will naturally not stand still.
Jia Pingan said curiously: "Actually, you all made a mistake. Whether it's accusing me of instigating someone to poison His Highness the Crown Prince, or saying that I used violence against women, there are too many doubts..."
It's not a doubt, but a slot!
"Since you want to slander me, at least your reasons must be sufficient and tenable. What poisoned the prince, why did I poison the prince? What is the motive? What is strong against women, who said it? Stand up!"
An official stood up and said with a sneer, "The witnesses are here!"
Jia Ping'an was furious, "If I want to sleep with a woman, the old bustards in Chang'an City will be happy, and all the famous prostitutes are looking forward to it, wishing they could recommend themselves as a pillow mat, who is my mother-in-law going to force?"
The official smiled, "You drank too much that day."
"Drink Nima!"
Jia Pingan walked over, "Do you think the people around me are fools? Seeing that I was too drunk and wanted to use force on someone, I turned a blind eye and gave me a warning? This kind of planting has no technical content at all, how do you organize it?" of?"
Jia Pingan said angrily: "If you want to attack an important minister, at least you can't discuss it in advance, and you can't agree on it in advance? Why use force on a woman, and there are witnesses for the mother... This kind of framing that humiliates people's IQ is What are you waiting for? Where did you **** read the sage books? Ah!"
Poof!
Someone laughed out loud!
"Be serious!"
Jia Pingan said with a cold face: "What does Jia like... like wandering, you should say that the woman's house is outside the city, and when I go out of the city for springtime, I have a wild animal nature... so it is more believable. But I never like daylight." Drinking, idiot! Actually, I think the best way for you to wait is..."
He recalled many past events, and sighed: "Just set up an ambush outside the imperial city, and let a group of children wait outside. When I leave the imperial city, let the children rush over, surround me and call Aye..."
He was a little excited, "Think about it, a hypocrite who never goes whoring in a brothel! He actually has so many illegitimate children outside, and his moral corruption is not enough to describe... Such a person can still be an official? After impeaching me, I will naturally be ashamed Get out of here, everyone is happy..."
Yeah!
That's a really good idea.
It is wonderful to be able to maintain a sense of proportion with the emperor when there is no blood in the moral failure ring.
Jia Pingan couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw someone showing regret.
Li Zhi's cheeks twitched, thinking it was a farce.
"What impeachment is there? I killed someone, I peeked at which family's eldest daughter and daughter-in-law were taking a bath, or I conspired to rebel...Hurry up."
Jia Ping'an stood in the middle, with a dead pig's face, not afraid of the boiling water.
But you have said everything, what do you want us to impeach?
Someone stood up and raised his head and said, "Jia Pingan, when you were in Huazhou, the gentleman from the rural school drowned and died two days after you left the rural school... Someone came to report yesterday, and a lot of evidence has been found in Huazhou recently. ..."
Damn it!
How did this thing get out again?
Jia Ping'an was a little confused.
"You mean... I killed that gentleman?"
The official sneered and said: "The gentleman always thought you were stupid and stupid, so he couldn't bear it and drove you out of the Xiangxue. Who would have thought that you would hold a grudge for this, so you quietly pushed him away while he was enjoying the cool by the river?" Go down... thief, you are ambitious, today this old man will expose your true colors!"
this…
Li Yifu only felt that his scalp was numb... If the old man was in front, he might have collapsed.
The firepower is too strong to hold!
Even Li Ji changed color.
Ren Yaxiang's face was gloomy.
These people actually turned up all the things that happened many years ago, which shows that they have great means. The key is that the rich family in Huazhou definitely got involved in this matter, otherwise how could the case be turned over after many years.
Li Zhi looked at the official with that kind of smiling eyes.
This is to put Jia Pingan to death!
He knows the thoughts of these people, but for this reason, he even turned up the things that happened many years ago... What do they want to do?
They can easily figure out Jia Pingan's affairs from childhood to adulthood, better than the emperor.
Whose Datang is this?
Xu Jingzong got up and sighed: "You did this before discussing with the Huazhou wealthy family, right? But the person you are waiting for should be on the way to Huazhou at this moment... How many people will you buy in this trip? Then The relatives of this gentleman will definitely be bribed, and Xiao Jia’s classmates will not be able to escape either... Huazhou wealthy family will make a move, and whoever dares to refuse will have no place to stand!"
The official sneered and said: "Mr. Xu's remarks are completely wrong. This is not what the old man said, but the news from Huazhou."
Xu Jingzong sighed, "I went to Huazhou to be the governor, and Xiao Jia helped me a lot. Naturally, I won't miss this young and talented old man... But the name of broom star made me quite jealous, so I sent someone to Thoroughly investigate Xiao Jia's past..."
You guys have thought of everything, but you forgot about me!
Xu Jingzong said with a satisfied face: "That gentleman kicked Xiao Jia out of the village school, and he was quite happy about it, so he found a woman to go boating on the lake for fun... After he drank too much, he bragged about himself to the woman The woman also drank too much, so she encouraged him to go into the water. So he jumped into the river. He never got up again. The woman then called out, and more than ten people came to the bank but failed to salvage it until three days later. The corpses just floated up..."
The official's cheeks trembled slightly...
Was slapped in the face!
This face hurts so much!
Xu Jingzong shook his head disdainfully, "You have thought of everything, but you forgot that the old man is meticulous...Your Majesty, I impeach you..."
Li Zhi said indifferently: "Baiqi went to check Huazhou, all those involved in this slander were taken down, and they were taken back to Chang'an!"
The emperor is angry!
The official looked pale and looked around.
help me!
But there is no way to save this matter!
"Your Majesty, I impeach Jia Ping'an..."
"Your Majesty, I impeach Jia Ping'an..."
The courtiers came out one by one, with resolute expressions on their faces.
If you want to destroy our jobs, you will die!
Li Zhi gradually became serious.
This is not a debate. These people cleverly avoided the issue of people's reading and turned to impeaching Jia Ping'an.
We don't need to fix this problem, just get rid of the person who raised it.
This kind of method can be called simple and crude, but it is quite effective.
Faced with such impeachments, Li Ji and others are helpless... These impeachments should be checked one by one, but those people have already prepared a trap, waiting for someone to jump into it.
This is lore!
…
Lu Shunyi is quite excited today.
Always prudent, he found Wang Sheng and Li Jingdu after arriving at the Imperial College.
"Activated!"
Lu Shunyi said excitedly: "Yesterday, the old man went to participate in the discussion. It was only a day's work. Many things have been arranged. Today, Jia Ping'an is going to die!"
Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It should have been like this a long time ago. If the ruthless action had been taken long ago, why did clowns like Jia Pingan run rampant until now?"
Li Jingdu smiled and said: "The emperor just showed a sinister smile at the gentry, and it is not too late to act now. If Jia Ping'an is killed, the emperor will naturally be afraid, so safe."
"This is killing chickens to scare monkeys!" Lu Shunyi laughed and said: "Jia Pingan has always hated us and other gentry, and has been encouraging the emperor and empress to attack the gentry, what a villain!"
"Became a ghost this time, I don't know if he has any regrets!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Amidst the pleasant laughter, Lu Shunyi's entourage came in, "The teachers and students of mathematics are all out!"
Lu Shunyi was stunned, thinking that Suanxue didn’t have any group activities recently, and there are more than a thousand people in Suanxue, it is generally impossible to make an all-out mobilization, the scale is too large, and the Jinwu Guard will stop it.
"What are they going to do?" Wang Sheng asked in surprise.
"I don't know." The visitor shook his head, "Someone shouted inside, what should we be today..."
"Go and see!"
The three of them went to mathematics immediately.
He heard footsteps before arriving at the Mathematics School.
Lu Shunyi turned around, "There must be thousands of people here."
A student came out of the gate with his head held high.
And then another...
One after another students came out in sackcloth.
Rows of students wearing white clothes gradually formed a queue and walked in the morning light.
The gentlemen caught up from behind and walked in the forefront.
Zhao Yan said to Han Wei: "Mr. once said that teaching educates people. Teaching is to impart knowledge, but what is more important is to set an example and tell students what to do and what not to do."
Han Wei nodded, "So we should be at the forefront."
"Where are they going?" Wang Sheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
A passerby probably knew a certain student, so he shouted, "Where are you going?"
The student shouted loudly: "Let's go to the imperial city!"
Lu Shunyi felt his heart skip a beat and his lips trembled, "They are going to knock on the door, madman, Jia Pingan is a madman, and the students he teaches are all madmen, go and tell them! Quick!"
Wang Sheng wondered: "If they go, they will persecute the king, wouldn't it be better?"
He froze for a moment, "They are going to support Jia Ping'an!"
"They are going to attack us!"
A kind of panic arises spontaneously!
"Are you crazy about waiting?"
Guozijian Jijiu Wangkuan stood in front of him and roared, "You are looking for your own death. Afterwards, His Majesty will throw you all to Mobei and the Western Regions! Go back! Go back!"
Zhao Yan stared at him, and said calmly: "You speak for the rich and powerful, and we speak for the common people. The way is different...don't conspire with each other!"
He gently pushed Wang Kuan away, and the team moved on.
