The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 491 Family Dinner
"His Majesty."

In the main hall, Xu Qiao, the Shaoqing of Dali, was applauding horses in a cadenced tone.

"This year, the death penalty is 58 years old. Dali Prison, it is said that the murderous spirit is too strong, and the birds don't live in it. Now there are trees where magpies nest."

This sentence means that there are only 58 death row inmates in the whole world this year, and the Dali Temple, which used to be too murderous, dare not even build a nest for birds.In the past few years, the murderous intent has decreased, so it is a great thing that magpies come to build their nests.

Immediately, many civil and military officials expressed their opinions one after another, saying that this was the result of His Majesty's benevolence, and that it was actually a "several punishment measures" taken by Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty. All the ministers congratulated His Majesty.

Several punishments were imposed, that is to say, severe punishments and harsh laws were almost put on hold, showing that the people obeyed the law and obeyed the law. This is a true manifestation of the emperor being a wise emperor.

For these, Li Yunze, who was standing aside and dressed up as a sculpture, felt contemptuous in his heart.

He couldn't be more familiar with these operations.

There were indeed only 58 death-row prisoners reported, but those who died in prison for 'various reasons' would naturally not be reported.

Literally speaking, of course, the world is in order.

In the past, there were no birds in Dali Temple because someone chased them away.

Now there are magpies coming to build their nests, maybe they were specially caught or bought for posing.

This kind of thing might be useful to fool those illiterate people in Tang Dynasty, but to the educated Li Yunze, it was a joke.

Therefore, compulsory education opens people's wisdom, which is a blow to all XX things.

There are also several punishments during the period of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty. It was because not many years after the tragic war ended at that time, the big guys were busy making a living after re-dividing the fields. .

But why did Li Sanlang impose several punishments?
At this time, the people of Datang couldn't live any longer!
Among other things, in the food shortage inside and outside Chang'an City, people who died of starvation would be dragged away by carts almost every day.

In this case, Li Sanlang is still bragging about several punishments. The only explanation is that the whole Tang Dynasty is unusable.

Li Sanlang didn't feel uncomfortable at all, he squinted his eyes, smiled and nodded in response to the flattery of the officials.

After a while, he said, "This is the prime minister's assistance, and he should be rewarded."

Immediately, Li Linfu was bestowed upon Duke Jin and Duke Niu Xianke Bin.

Military generals fought life and death at the border, and they really risked their lives in order to gain military merit.

But civil servants only need some flattery, and they can easily obtain the title of duke of the state. The signs of emphasizing civility over military affairs, and the roots of the warriors' revenge on literati in the late Tang Dynasty are all here.

Li Linfu really likes to seize power, but he also hides his words, excludes talented people, reuses barbarians, and so on.

The treacherous minister is definitely not wronged, but he is also a capable treacherous minister with a sense of responsibility.

After receiving the award from the Jue, Li Linfu also worked hard to do something for Datang.

"His Majesty."

Li Linfu went forward and said, "Nowadays, the food shortage in the eastern and western capitals is getting worse. In order to transport grain to the two capitals, the Jianghuai water transport has a heavy burden, and I have already complained a little. The low grain prices in various places hurt farmers instead."

As expected of a prime minister, he speaks with a level.

The words used are 'quite heavy' and 'slightly obvious', and it sounds like there are only minor problems.

But in fact, Nima's rebellion has come out!

Naturally, there were rebellions in the Tang Dynasty, and they never stopped even during the so-called prosperous Kaiyuan period.

Especially after Li Sanlang entered his old age, he was extremely stupid. From the palace to the court and then to the local area, everything was corrupted all the way, especially the local tyrants abused and plundered wantonly, forcing the people everywhere to be turbulent.

Li Sanlang with a calm expression asked, "Does Aiqing have a good plan?"

Li Linfu signaled to Niu Xianke with his eyes, "Mr. Niu proposed a method of reconciliation, and I think it is feasible."

It's not that Li Linfu doesn't want this credit, but that this matter has already been exposed long before the appointment of the crown prince, that is, the letter Li Yunze wrote to Niu Xianke.

It would be a fool to claim credit after everything has been exposed.

Naturally, Li Linfu would not be a fool, so he passed the matter on to Niu Xianke.

Immediately, Niu Xianke came out, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this matter was originally proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I think this matter is feasible, so I will discuss it with Mr. Li and present it to Your Majesty."

This kind of thing that has been put on the bright side for a long time, naturally there is no way to do anything, so now it is arranged in the order of credit.

Li Sanlang looked at Li Yunze who was like a sculpture, nodded slowly and said, "The prince is young, although the things mentioned have merit, they are rough and careless, and it is up to the two gentlemen to execute them perfectly."

Naturally, he couldn't give all the credit to Li Yunze, so he beat the two prime ministers with all the credit.

After a long and tangled row of seats in the early stage, it was finally time to get down to business.

The so-called Hebu method actually means that the imperial court pays to buy grain from the common people at a price higher than the market price.

The main place of implementation is the Guanzhong area. The grain in the hands of the people in the Guanzhong area is purchased, and then distributed as salaries, as military rations, and sold to the people in Chang'an City at a low price as civilian rations.

In this way, the food shortage in Chang'an City can be alleviated, and the costly transportation of food from the Jianghuai area to support Guanzhong can be avoided.

Of course, the Hebu method is a good thing, because it alleviates the food shortage in Chang'an City, and it can also bring benefits to the people in Guanzhong.

But the problem is that most of the land in Guanzhong has already fallen into the hands of the royal relatives and dignitaries, and they are the ones who benefit the most.

Moreover, when the court has money, it can implement the law of reconciliation, but when it has no money, it will deteriorate.

For example, in the history of the peace purchase law implemented by Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, not only did not increase the price to buy, but almost robbed it directly, causing countless people in Guanzhong to go bankrupt.

Even if it is to rob, they only dare to rob the food of the common people, and no one dares to rob the food of the emperor's relatives and dignitaries.

Only the common people were unlucky. After the bankruptcy, they either starved to death or revolted, which further increased the turmoil in Datang.

It was not until Huang Chao broke through Chang'an City to enjoy the chrysanthemums that these blood-sucking insects were completely solved.

This is the only major event in the court today, and there is nothing else to talk about after passing it, so it is natural to retreat and go home.

Without saying a word, Li Yunze left the main hall and was about to return to the East Palace, but was stopped by Gao Lishi.

"His Royal Highness stay."

"Eunuch Gao, what advice do you have?"

A look of displeasure flashed across Gao Lishi's eyes, but he still said with a smile, "Your Majesty has a decree. Five days later, there will be a banquet in the palace. All the kings, princesses and concubines will come to the palace to have a family dinner."

"Oh."

Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "Okay, Gu knows."

"Your Majesty said it." Gao Lishi made a special point, "The crown prince and crown princess are role models for all kings and princesses, so they must come."

Li Yunze pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, "Okay."

After Gao Lishi left, Li Yunze's eyes gradually became sharper, "You're courting death!"

Five days later, the relatives and relatives of the emperor gathered here in Linde Hall, which was extremely lively.

Gao Lishi greeted everyone outside the palace gate, he seemed to be smiling and polite, but all the princes and princesses would salute when they saw him, and even shouted 'Ah Weng. '

A Weng in Datang means grandpa. Of course, the princes and princesses call A Weng not grandpa. If that happens, Li Sanlang will go crazy. It is a special respectful title for older men.

As for the concubines and concubines, they saluted respectfully and called them 'Master. '

What does this name mean, then there is no need for too much explanation.

The eunuchs' servants in the early Tang Dynasty were inconspicuous. From Li Er to Li Zhi and even to Wu Zetian's period, the guards on the eunuchs' servants were very strict.

But in the period of Li Sanlang, these eunuchs and servants began to be gradually reused.

Like a general of the third rank, the frontier army needs to fight for a high position that they may not be able to get in a lifetime. Maybe it's just a few nice words from the eunuchs, and they can easily get it from Li Sanlang.

It's not just Gao Lishi.

In addition to Gao Lishi, there are Bian Lingcheng, Yang Sixu, Li Jingren, Lin Zhaoyin, Yin Fengxiang and others who are all famous power officials.

Moreover, they often go out on inspections on behalf of Li Sanlang, and they often serve as military supervisors.

Its power is so great that even Jiedu envoys have to avoid it.

The preferences of eunuchs and servants are very simple. What they like in Chang'an City is power, but when they go out, they naturally like wealth.

These people are very good at looting. If you make a million dollars on a tour, you will be laughed at, and ten million dollars will be considered mediocre.

Eunuchs actually accounted for half of the most luxurious mansions in Chang'an City, the best fields, orchards, pool gardens, etc. in Gyeonggi.

And even though the eunuchs and servants have no sons, they have family members.

Basically, for every eunuch with a certain status, his family will immediately become a powerful local, and quickly rise to become the local overlord by exploiting the people.

The severity of the disaster is no less than that of the officials in the court.

When Li Yunze came outside the palace gate, he only called out "Eunuch Gao."

The displeasure in Gao Lishi's eyes deepened, but he responded calmly, "His Royal Highness."

After finishing speaking, he looked to the side, but he never saw anyone beside Li Yunze.

Gao Lishi asked suspiciously, "His Royal Highness, where is the Crown Princess?"

"Oh."

Li Yunze smiled casually, "I'm not feeling well, so I didn't come."

"what?"

Gao Lishi was shocked, "This, this, this"

Li Yunze ignored him, and simply walked into Linde Hall.

Looking at Li Yunze's back, Gao Lishi's eyes fluctuated, "Being a crown prince feels that he can despise the world?Could it be that he forgot the prince of Tang Dynasty, but none of them will end well! '

Naturally, Li Yunze didn't care what Gao Lishi thought.

He will not keep any of the eunuchs who wield power and bring disaster to the world.

And the families that they have caused disaster to the local people will be handed over to the local people to deal with.

If Li Yunze only came here through time travel without a time-space gate as a backing, he might still call Gao Lishi "Second Brother".

It's a pity that the prince who Gao Lishi thinks has no strength, actually possesses power that he can't imagine at all.

When Li Yunze entered the hall, many relatives of the emperor came up to salute.

Although the eyes of these people are different, they contain many complicated meanings.Especially the loyal king Li Heng, his expression and eyes are really indescribable.

But at this moment, they could only salute Li Yunze to please him.

Amidst the din, following Gao Lishi's sharp call, the hall quickly fell silent.

The owner of Datang, Li Sanlang finally came.
