God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Suddenly, Li Er's face darkened, staring at the back of the crowd.

Swish.

Li Er suddenly got up and walked towards the back of the crowd aggressively.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man behind him, who was reading with his head down, holding a book in his hand, reading it with great interest, and didn't even notice such a big movement.

Everyone recognizes that this person is Liu Shixiong, the magistrate of Huyi County. Originally, his official rank was too low to be qualified to go to court. However, recently, a large number of disaster victims from Shandong, Henan and other places have flooded into Huyi County, so Li Er took the county magistrate of Jingji County Ling Quan was summoned to Chang'an to go to court to discuss affairs together every day.

Who knows, this guy Liu Shixiong has not been here for a few days, he dared to read a book secretly behind the discussion of Li Er and others, he was so deadly, and Li Er caught him.

For a while, many people showed doubts.

What kind of book can fascinate Liu Shixiong so much.

wow.

Li Er stepped forward and snatched the book from Liu Shixiong.

Li Er looked down: "What kind of book is this? Why have I never seen it before? "Du He Talks About Happiness"? Didn't that kid Du He publish a copy of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"? When did you write this book?" Oh... Liu Shixiong, you are so courageous, you are my Tai Chi Hall, is this your study? Hmph..."

Li Er was furious.

Liu Shixiong was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I am guilty, I... I was on the way to the court today, I saw this book, and at first I only browsed it roughly, but I didn't know, the more I read it, the more I was shocked. , Boduhe, Huyi County, is really a prodigy, this happy statement makes me feel the same... I have been an orphan since I was a child, lonely, and I feel that I am the most miserable person since I was a child, without any happiness It can be said that I didn't realize it until I read this book. It turned out that my previous ideas were all wrong. Looking at the problem from another angle, happiness lies in oneself, not outside..."

As he spoke, Liu Shixiong began to thump and kowtow, his forehead banging on the floor of the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Er took the "Du He Talks About Happiness" produced by Datang Study, and asked: "My dear friends, do you all know this book?"

Many people nodded.

Someone said: "Your Majesty, if you want to talk about Du He's book, it is really complete. It is completely different from that "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". It was written, and at first it was only sold to temples, but later, it spread for some reason, and now, this book can be seen everywhere in Chang’an City, and people often talk about it when they meet.”

"At first, the veteran didn't take it seriously, thinking that Du He was playing tricks again. It wasn't until I bought a copy and read it carefully that I realized that many of the principles in the book are so powerful. Books with philosophy are really rare!"

……

Many people stood up and praised this "Du He Talks About Happiness".

Li Er stopped listening and was stunned.

As far as Du He's ability to make up random things can really convince all the ministers in the court?

……

(Third watch,)

Chapter 208 Official Business

Before Li Er could react.

Then Liu Shixiong suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. In the ten years since I served as the county magistrate of Huyi, I have embezzled at least 30 yuan, ten thousand taels of silver, one thousand taels of gold, one thousand acres of land, and married thirty concubines. In Huyi County, he oppressed the common people and killed the big households..."

This guy, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, revealed all his crimes.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Er was also stunned.

After a while, Li Er asked in disbelief: "Liu Shixiong, are you telling the truth?"

Liu Shixiong raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, what I said is true. I was deceived by lard before. I am ashamed of your Majesty and of Tang Sheji. What I should be most grateful to is Huyi. County Bo Duhe, if it weren't for his book, I wouldn't have understood so many truths, Du He is right, happiness is hard to come by, but it is also easy to come by, the tone is fearful, it is better to let go of everything."

After a pause, Liu Shixiong continued: "Let go of everything, happiness, even in prison, I can feel happiness, and if I continue to hide it, I can only live in the world, sinking into the torment in my heart...I wish I could I met Bo Duhe earlier in Huyi County, listen to him talk about these principles."

Li Er frowned furiously, picked up the book, and slammed Liu Shixiong on the head.

"Zhen, I want to kill you. As an official of the Tang Dynasty, you actually corrupted the law and oppressed the common people. I want to kill your whole family!" Li Er roared.

Liu Shixiong showed a relieved smile: "Chen, thank you Your Majesty, it is a kind of happiness to die like this."

Li Eryi waved his hand: "Come here, send Liu Shixiong to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wei Ting, you should lead someone to investigate this matter quickly."

Wei Ting, Minister of Dali Temple, agreed immediately and began to investigate Liu Shixiong.

Li Er immediately ordered to retreat.

With Li Er's personal order, the matter was investigated very quickly.

In the evening, Wei Ting rushed back from Huyi County and entered the palace to meet Li Er.

Wei Ting reported: "Your Majesty, what Liu Shixiong said in court this morning is true."

Li Er was furious and slapped the table.

"It's really unreasonable. The dignified magistrate of Huyi County did such a thing. Is he worthy of me? Is he worthy of the society of Tang Dynasty and the people of Huyi County? It's really unreasonable..."

Seeing Li Er angry, even Wei Ting dared not show his anger.

After a long while, Li Ercai said: "Wei Ting, you will personally supervise the handling of this matter, confiscate Liu Shixiong's family property, and confiscate all of his property. Originally, I should have executed his whole family. For the sake of Liu Shixiong's voluntary confession, I only beheaded him." One person and the rest of the family members will all be exiled, and will never return to Huyi County."

"Yes!"

Wei Ting hurried to handle the matter.

That night, Li Er stayed up until midnight, not to deal with political affairs, but to finish watching "Du He Talks About Happiness".

On the morning of the second day, when the ministers saw Li Er's eyes red, they thought they were troubled by Liu Shixiong's affairs and stayed up all night. They didn't know that Li Er just finished reading Du He's new book last night.

After announcing Liu Shixiong's disposition, Li Er picked up the book and said in front of everyone: "My dear friends, I had a rough look at this book last night. Although what Du He said is full of mistakes, there are also many truths. , especially after reading this book, it can be thought-provoking, and you can fully understand your own mistakes. Liu Shixiong is a living example. Therefore, I decided to allocate money from the treasury to order [-] copies of "Du He Talks About Happiness" from Du He, and distribute them. All the officials of the Tang Dynasty who have been to the Tang Dynasty have to devote half an hour every day to study this book, together with the Handbook of Integrity and Self-discipline of Officials of the Tang Dynasty. "

What Li Er thought was that there was definitely not only Liu Shixiong in the Tang Dynasty, but there must also be Zhang Shixiong and Wang Shixiong. It would be great if these moths could be caught through a book.

Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Ten thousand books, that is not a small sum.

In recent days, His Majesty has been crying for poverty every day, why is he suddenly generous at this time.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, the book "Du He Talks About Happiness" costs 30 renminbi, and 30 copies are [-] renminbi. For such a huge expenditure, I think I should forget it."

Li Er waved his hand: "I have made up my mind on this matter, and it is useless for anyone to dissuade you."

……

The order of [-] books was personally sent to the furniture factory by Zhao Yang, the housekeeper, and he told Du He face to face.

When Du He got the news, you squatted on the ground and brushed your teeth.
