Take the mall to Datang

Du He on the side said at this time: "Call me if you need anything, young master and madam."

After He Ye finished speaking, she went to her exclusive open partition to prepare for this difficult night of reading.

Immediately there were only Yuan Shan and Dugu Ruolan left in the room, and Yuan Shan also had no choice but to say what was going on. In private, Yuan Shan mentioned that he would let He Ye move out, but he found Dugu Ruo again Lan's objection, it has been two years since Yuan Shan didn't even accept a concubine, which is completely out of line with the habits of the noble circle.

After Du Qianyu returned to the room, Xinyue said, "Second wife and young master told you to stay in the master bedroom, why did you come back?"

Xinyue has served Du Qianyu for such a long time, and she has already understood her temper, and the two get along very well. Many times, they are like sisters. Du Qianyu said: "You bad girl, what are you thinking about all day long, God It's not too early, let's go to rest."

Chapter 422 Li Yuan Gives Up Tai Chi Palace

Yuan Shan didn't get up early the next morning, and wanted to stay in bed but had to get up because today he was going to the military supervisory department to discuss business.

As soon as the Yuan family's four-wheeled carriage was about to leave Heping Square, they saw many people gathered at the entrance of the market. They didn't know what these people were doing in this cold weather, but it turned out that a group of monks were preaching scriptures and teachings.

These people seem to be very popular. After several consecutive years of famine, many people encountered some difficulties in life and were unable to face them. They put their spirits on the spiritual field to seek a kind of relief, so Taoism and Buddhism began to prosper. There are also more places to see them.

"These people really have nothing to do. If they want to talk about Buddhism, they go to the temple to talk about it. It's really troublesome to block the traffic at the intersection." Yuan Shanxin said, but believers still like this very much. lively.

"Detour, waiting here is time-consuming." Yuan Shan said.

When the Yuan family's four-wheeled carriage turned around, Yuan Shan saw through the window that some "plainclothes" had already noticed these things, and maybe the court already knew about these things.

Just like what Yuan Shan said, Li Shimin in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace was a little restless. It will be the third year of Zhenguan, but he is still handling affairs in this small East Palace. The inner guards in the Taiji Palace have not responded at all. How can Li Shimin peace of mind.

When everyone arrived, Li Shimin's demeanor returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, some rumormongers have appeared in Chang'an City recently, accusing His Majesty of not practicing virtue, and saying that Pei Sikong is a man of destiny, and this matter must be investigated." Changsun Wuji said.

In an instant, all the people above the imperial court were in high spirits. This kind of thing would be decapitated. The person who deserves the destiny is not His Majesty but Pei Ji. Months of investigations have caught the person who made false rumors, this person is named Fa Ya, he predicted that Pei Sikong would have a destiny, and according to his confession, Pei Sikong knew about it a few months ago but did not report it."

After Du Ruhui finished talking, the people in the court looked around but didn't dare to make a sound. The court seemed to be still. Pei Ji didn't think that this matter could implicate him, so he immediately came out and explained: "Your Majesty knows, I am wronged, it is all nonsense of the demon monk."

Li Shimin already knew what was going on, the nonsense of the demon monk was true, but the prophecy to Pei Ji was before the rumors were spread, the fact was that Monk Faya liked to cling to the powerful, and it happened that Li Yuan was very fond of him. The two people who appreciated this coming and going became good friends, and let Fa Ya enter and leave the palace at will. After Li Yuan lost power, Fa Ya did not give up her relationship with the Supreme Emperor, but it made Li Shimin unhappy, so Fa Ya was forbidden to enter and leave the palace at will. .

In fact, Fa Ya will also take Li Yuan's words out when he enters and exits the palace. It is really unknown whether there is any conspiracy or not, but why Pei Ji was implicated? Shang Shusheng holds an important position, and he also has a lot of power in the court. It can be said that he is also Li Yuan's reliance, and the fate of Fa Ya and Pei Ji is not true. Anyway, Fa Ya said so, or there is still something in it When it comes to holding pets and being coquettish, after all, the celebrities around the emperor are not willing to share with others. Falla may be the person who is unwilling to share "favor" with others.

It is said that character determines destiny. If you say that you are not allowed to enter the palace to see the Supreme Emperor, then you should go back and become a monk honestly. Fa Ya is still not enlightened and insists on fighting against the current one, so what happened later, What surprised Falla was that when the Ministry of War used the six doors of the Ministry of Punishment to intervene in the investigation, it even brought out the remnants of the end of the Sui Dynasty.

After investigation, Pei Ji actually didn't believe what Fa Ya said, but he didn't tell the matter immediately. This is a disaster for himself. This is a matter of fate and the emperor's taboo. Heads are at stake.

"Your Majesty, I was really wronged. I didn't say it out because of the consideration of the Supreme Emperor. I thought that one more thing is worse than one less thing. The demon monk is deliberately framing me. Your Majesty wants to make decisions for me." Pei Ji said.

A kind of ministers around said that there is nothing to explain at this time, and everything is their own fault. Many ministers are not fools. The key point is that they are so powerful that they can be understood quickly, but the appearance of this servant is really strange.

"Repatriate Pei Jige to Puzhou." Li Shimin said immediately.

The serious Li Shimin did not choose to kill Pei Ji, it was already a shame.Afterwards, Pei Ji was dragged down and kept shouting grievances, watching everyone felt anxious for a while, not to mention heart-wrenching, hysterical.

Although this matter was mainly handled by the six sects of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War still took the credit. This matter was presided over by Du Ruhui himself. After solving Pei Ji's matter, it was time for Fa Ya to face his fate.

Fa Ya was executed the next day. The hesitant and confused eyes of Fa Ya, the king on the execution ground, did not know what he was thinking. The news spread to Tai Chi Hall that afternoon.

"The Supreme Emperor, don't get angry and be careful of the dragon's body." The old man said immediately.

"After Fa Ya's death, no one will be able to teach me scriptures. Pei Ji also left Chang'an Zhen. I..." Li Yuan was depressed and felt dizzy for a while, and soon the imperial doctor came over to diagnose him, anxious and anxious. Sincerely.

Five days later, Li Yuan decided to leave Taiji Palace and go to the side hall to recuperate.

In the third year of Zhenguan’s Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin finally sat on the real dragon chair. Facing the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he was much more magnificent than the Xiande Hall. The ministers also felt very comfortable when they changed their office. Together.

Today is the first court meeting in the Taiji Palace in the year of Zhenguan. Yuan Shan retained his official position as the minister of the Ministry of War and had to respect and love to participate. Standing in the crowd were all officials of the fifth rank and above, and there were more people fighting outside the palace. .

This cold weather can be quite troublesome, but even those ministers like you are still standing still. Has "[-]" been downgraded?

They were all standing outside the hall, but seeing that they were all wearing the latest thick-soled snow padded shoes from the Yuan family, there was no need to worry that their feet would freeze if they stood still for an hour. question.

Yuan Shan thought he was coming out today to let Li Shimin show off, and then he heard that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were appointed as the servants of the left and right. In addition, Wei Zheng was appointed as the secretary and supervisor. He and Wei Zheng had conflicts. Now Wei Zheng's power Bigger again.

However, the position of Secretary of the Ministry of War has not been vacated yet, only Du Ruhui has been promoted. It seems that this still needs a transition, but the reputation of "Fang Du" should start soon. Yuan Shan hopes that this is not just a flash in the pan.

Chapter 423 The Bottomless Pit

After the dynasty was dispersed, Yuan Shan did not expect that Li Daozong would even mention the six gates.

"Yuanshan heard that you are currently making the equipment needed by the policemen." Li Daozong said.

This Li Daozong came here and spoke directly on this topic, which is not at all the same as Li Jingheng, but this person is a ruthless person with considerable ability, which is appreciated by Li Shimin among the Li clan, and he has made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

"Li Shangshu, I just went to the Military Weapons Supervision yesterday to mention this matter, but this equipment still needs a process of production, so don't worry, at the latest one month later, I should be able to make a set for the six-door arresters .” Yuan Shan said.

The imperial court has already paid for the purchase and research and development, and now it is short of production, which is not difficult for multiple workshops to cooperate.

"Hahaha, that's good. Now the Ministry of Criminal Justice lacks talented people. The investigation and handling of cases requires people like you who are quick-witted and intelligent. Why don't you come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Li Daozong said.

Yuan Shan didn't expect that Li Daozong took the initiative to find him today and wanted to win him over. He said that he wanted to recruit him.

"Boy Li Shangshu feels very difficult in the Ministry of War. If he goes to the Ministry of Punishment again, he may not be able to cope with it. Also, my family has so many affairs that I really can't agree to it." Yuan Shan directly refused.

On the issue of being an official, he really doesn't have so many things to mess with the emperor and ministers. Now the several projects he has started are progressing very smoothly, so he should focus on making money.

"That's such a pity." Li Daozong said.

Hearing that Yuanshan rejected his invitation, Li Daozong was very sensible and didn't continue to chat with him, and left soon.

On the way back in the carriage, there are still many monks on the road. The drought has just passed. We have to see how the harvest will be this year. In the past two years, Yuanshan feels that the roads in Chang'an City have become congested. If it used to be very fast Just left the city, and now the speed of this carriage is really slow enough.

"Ring, ring, ring." Soon there were a few cyclists passing by beside the carriage, and the bells were ringing on the handlebars, reminding the passers-by that after the price of the bearings was negotiated, the price of the bicycles also dropped. down, and sales are indeed increasing.

Many short-distance people use bicycles to transport goods. Yuanjia's shopping malls all use bicycles to deliver goods, and Zhang San's rickshaws sometimes use them to transport short-distance letters. Just get used to it.

But the problem of too many cars also came. When the speed of movement was accelerated, the road conditions began to be divided into morning peak and evening peak.

"Master, should we go back to the manor or go to Xinfeng County?" asked the servant who was driving the car.

"Today's weather is okay, go to Xinfeng County to see the operation of vegetable greenhouses." Yuan Shan said.

Except for Chang'an City, which goes directly to Lishan Mountain, it didn't take long to reach Xianfeng County. The vegetables and food eaten by the nobles in Chang'an City are all provided by Xinfeng County, and the price of vegetables in winter is five times that in summer. The price level is different anyway, there is no highest, only higher.

This is also the place where vegetable greenhouses make money. The main cost depends on the sales during the winter period to earn back. When we arrive at the Vegetable Fapeng area, there are many people who are busy here, and there are also a large number of horse-drawn carriages gathered. These people are all It is necessary to pull the vegetables that will be supplied to various houses at night.

"Master, there are many people here, so it's better not to get out of the car." The servant reminded.

"Let's supervise the carriage and rush to the side so as not to affect other people's purchase." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan saw that the porters were all wearing padded jackets for work, but they didn't seem to be cold. The heads of the porters were covered with sweat, and he thought that if they didn't have such long hair, they would be fine. better.

After a while, I saw a large convoy approaching, and Yuan Shan saw that it was Yan Bei who was leading the Yuan family convoy, and Yan Bei also saw Yuan Shan at this moment. It's some transportation work. It's okay if you don't have to run a basic convoy in the morning for the canteen of the Cotton Mall today.
