Fu Tang

Li Congjia scratched his chin, turned his head to look at Shi Yanlie and said with a smile: "I seem to have an auditory hallucination just now, and I actually heard the voice of the national teacher."

Shi Yanlie looked at the door and said with a grin, "It means the national teacher is back."

Li Congjia turned his head quickly, and twisted his neck because of too much force, so he had to cover his neck while looking at Shi Xueting who had a frosty face at the door and asked, "Why are you back?"

Shi Xueting came over, saluted Shi Yanlie with clasped hands, then raised his hands and rubbed Li Congjia's neck, straightened the sprained tendon, and asked at the same time: "Why? Your Majesty doesn't want to see me? "

Seeing Shi Xueting and Li Congjia's casual tone and actions before, Shi Yanlie felt that he should leave. He was worried that Li Congjia would be unhappy when Shi Xueting came back privately. Now it seems... he should be crazy about happiness up.

Hey, his nephew is really a holy family member. Can anyone touch the emperor's neck casually?Oh, it should be said that the neck of the truly powerful emperor cannot be touched casually, at least with the emperor's permission.

But just after Shi Xueting came in, he raised his hand and rubbed without saying a word, and the emperor didn't show any dissatisfaction. With such trust, there shouldn't be too many problems between the monarch and his ministers, especially since Shi Xueting is not a courtier yet, he won't There is a phenomenon of power struggle with the emperor.

While resigning, Shi Yanlie was thinking about how to tell Shi Qingsong when he went back. It's okay to be humble to the juniors. It doesn't matter to them two old men, but we can't let all the disciples suffer together, right?

At present, there is only one Shi Xuehe who really trusts Shi Xueting. Even if other people can't reach the height of Shi Xuehe, they can at least let them run errands or something.

After Shi Yanlie left, Li Congjia immediately hugged Shi Xueting and kissed him and asked, "Why did you come back so suddenly? Didn't you say anything in advance?"

Shi Xueting looked down at him and asked: "I told you in advance, so that you are ready to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces?"

Li Congjia looked at him blankly: "Destroy corpses and wipe out traces? Destroy what corpses and destroy traces?"

Shi Xueting just looked at him without saying a word, Li Congjia rolled his eyes, trying to change the subject: "Is it okay to build a city in Lingnan without you watching? Lei Youzhong doesn't seem like a careful person."

Shi Xueting still looked at him and said nothing, Li Congjia could only tragically find out that he had failed to change the subject, so he mumbled, "Who told you again?"

Shi Xueting pinched his chin and asked, "What? Do you want to break his leg if you find out?"

Li Congjia immediately said: "No, I just think it's good. I'll write you a letter to save money. I just wanted to write a letter to you that day when an assassin came. The letter hasn't been sent until today."

Shi Xueting's expression changed: "Assassin?"

Li Congjia was stunned: "You don't know?"

How could Shi Xueting know that he had heard that Li Congjia had climbed to the roof during a thunderstorm to perform a suicide act, so he hurried over from Lingnan. He happened to be on the way when Li Congjia was assassinated, and received the message at this time Very inconvenient, of course I don't know about Li Congjia's assassination.

Shi Xueting didn't have time to settle the score with Li Congjia, so he quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Only then did Li Congjia narrate it to him, and finally said: "Fortunately, a mechanism was installed in my place before."

Speaking of which, this mechanism is still a little interest between Li Congjia and Shi Xueting. In fact, it is very simple, it is connected with a bell. Yang Xin and Tian Wuniang knew that, after all, they both knew about Shi Xueting's relationship with Li Congjia.

Shi Xueting told them that it was only because of his absence. If Li Congjia had something to do, someone could respond to it. Of course, Shi Xueting also felt that it was unnecessary. If he was not there, Li Congjia probably would not press this mechanism. .

As a result, who would have thought that it would be used this time?Li Congjia was chatting with Han Xuancheng at that time, and he was not as calm and composed as he showed. Han Xuancheng thought that Li Congjia was teasing him, but in fact Li Congjia was just delaying time!

Of course, it was also a warning to Yang Xin. After he pressed the mechanism, Yang Xin came over curiously, but before he climbed up, he heard Li Congjia talking with another unfamiliar person, and he listened for a while. Afterwards, I realized that something was wrong, so I hurried to Xiangguo Temple to ask for help.

Yang Xin can be regarded as rough and detailed, knowing that Li Congjia and Shi Xueting probably don't like others to know the existence of this tunnel, so he asked monks to help them. At least the monks are now a community of interests with the National Teacher's Office, even if they know He will not say it casually, it is much safer than the left and right Wuwei who are mixed with fish and dragons.

Only then did the monks emerge from the cabinet.

After hearing this, Shi Xueting was also a little scared, hugged Li Congjia and said, "Fortunately, Yang Xin knew, otherwise..."

Otherwise, he couldn't even imagine what would happen.

Of course, Li Congjia would not be foolish enough to ask what you would do if something happened to me, he just touched Shi Xueting's bald head and said, "Don't worry, that assassin wants to hold me hostage and let Datang Withdrawing troops, after all, as long as you have a little brain and understand the composition of the Tang court, you will know that the death of Li Congjia may temporarily disrupt the court's position, but these capable veterans will definitely fight back even more fiercely."

Shi Xueting kissed Li Congjia's collarbone. Now he wants to confirm whether the person in his arms is real. If he hadn't accidentally told Yang Xin the source of the ringtone, he might have to face Li Congjia coldly when he comes back at this moment. As long as Shi Xueting thinks about this, Shi Xueting can't help being afraid.

At this point, there are too few things that can make him feel afraid, and this is undoubtedly the most terrifying one.

Li Congjia hugged Shi Xueting and patted him on the back comfortingly. He felt Shi Xueting's fear, and planned to discuss other matters with him after Shi Xueting calmed down.

However, at present, it seems that if Shi Xueting wants to calm down, he only needs to exercise.

But this is Xuanzheng Palace, Li Congjia has no morals and lower limit and can't do anything messy here, so he had to interrupt Shi Xueting before he went too far and said: "Let's go back, don't stay here."

Shi Xueting calmed down a little, got up and followed Li Congjia, but Li Congjia took him directly to the bathroom hall and said, "Your journey has been full of dust and dust, take a bath first."

Shi Xueting looked at Li Congjia with good eyes, as if he was afraid that if he moved his eyes, Li Congjia would disappear. Li Congjia was helpless by him, so he had to take a bath with him.

As a result, Shi Xueting gradually fell into a deep sleep halfway through the bath, and Li Congjia kissed his forehead distressedly, guessing that Shi Xueting was really tired all the way.

But it was impossible for Li Congjia to get Shi Xueting back alone, so he had to call someone in to help him wipe his body.

Both Chunsheng and Taofu worked very hard, and the two of them can be said to be terrified now. Li Congjia's assassination was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, except that the captured assassin was now living a life worse than death, and the left and right Wuwei It has been cleaned up, and the commander in front of the temple has also been replaced.

After all, even Shi Xuehe had to go through a series of inspections to enter the palace. Li Congjia could recognize that Shi Xuehe was not the original one after checking his badge and person. The guards of the palace didn't even notice that day, so naturally none of them could escape. .

Although Li Congjia also felt that he could see it mainly because he had a lot of contact with Shi Xuehe and knew him better, but the people below were all punished according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. .

But he kept Chunsheng and Taofu because Li Congjia didn't let the two of them serve in front of his eyes at that time, and of course they didn't know anything after they were kicked out.

Of course, this reason is a bit far-fetched, but it has already implicated many people, and the two little shrimps, Chunsheng and Taofu, don't need to use it to scare others.

Shi Xueting fell asleep until the next night. Li Congjia didn't know how long he hadn't slept. However, during this time, Li Congjia checked how Shi Xueting knew about him, and the result was Know or almighty intelligence department played a role.

Li Congjia could only helplessly put this matter aside, and then continued to read the information below, and found that Shi Xueting had been awake for three days and three nights in order to hurry, and only relied on eating to maintain his energy.

Then he was taken to the bathing hall by Li Congjia. After soaking in the hot water, didn't he just couldn't hold it anymore?

When Shi Xueting woke up, he saw the sunset glowing outside the window, and was lost for a moment.

"Are you awake? Is there any discomfort?" Li Congjia ordered Chunsheng to get a bowl of porridge.

Shi Xueting took a long breath and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

Li Congjia's face was serious: "I slept for two days and one night! I was almost scared to death. Don't do this next time, you know?"

Shi Xueting looked up at him and said, "Who would tell someone to go to the house without calling for three days? Well, you really went to the house this time."

Li Congjia was a little guilty: "Isn't there nothing I can do? If I want to completely suppress those people, how can I not use thunder?"

Shi Xueting said in a deep voice: "Thunder's means don't have to cost my life, what are they? Are they worthy of your condescension?"

Li Congjia said: "Of course I did it because I was sure. Who is looking for death if they are alive and well?"

Shi Xueting was a little helpless: "In short, this is not allowed in the future."

Li Congjia said with a smile: "Get rid of these diehards, there is indeed nothing worthy of me in the future, let's not talk about this, let's eat something."

After Shi Xueting finished eating, he regained his energy. Li Congjia saw that he would not be able to fall asleep for a while, but he had already been busy all day today. In order to avoid the fate of being tossed and repaired, Li Congjia decided to consume Shi Xueting's energy - he pulled Shi Xueting started discussing business matters!

Shi Xueting did have many things to communicate with Li Congjia. After all, most of the things he did in Lingnan were done according to his own wishes, and he never informed Li Congjia. Of course, there was no way to notify Li Congjia of the situation at that time. It's too far away, and it's too late to wait for Li Congjia's order. What's more, Li Congjia doesn't know the situation here, so it may not be correct for him to make a decision.

But even if he had 1 reasons, he couldn't hide it from Li Congjia, so he directly explained the situation in Lingnan in detail.

After hearing this, Li Congjia asked, "How is the construction of the city over there? What does it look like?"

I don’t know if it was influenced by the national conditions in later generations. Li Congjia was always interested in infrastructure. He even thought that if he could be sure that Lingnan was in his hands, then he could start developing Lingnan, first of all, roads.

Shi Xueting picked up a pen and drew two strokes casually, and showed Li Congjia the general appearance of the city. Li Congjia made a stroke, and after converting according to the scale, he couldn't help frowning and said, "So small?"

Shi Xueting replied: "Well, it can't be too big. It's not easy to lay foundations over there. In the end, most of the houses are built according to local customs. Only the city walls have been worked hard."

Li Congjia was a little at a loss. When he went to the south in later generations, he didn't feel that there was any big difference between the buildings in the north and the buildings in the north. If he had to say that it was the difference in style, otherwise... he didn't think there was anything wrong.

However, there are no various industrial basic materials these days, and it is estimated that they are limited by the materials. Li Congjia has no good way to do this. He is a liberal arts dog and can only propose one direction. It can appear in one step, and those professional bigwigs will be fine if they hear it is feasible. If it makes those bigwigs feel whimsical, it will probably be useless.

Sure enough, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world.

Li Congjia sighed while listening to Shi Xueting introduce the concept map to him. I have to say that compared with Li Congjia, Shi Xueting's brain hole is really big. He actually wants to continue to build the city. The two new cities and Jianchang Mansion It is defensive in nature, and other cities are specialized in agriculture. Some slaves and sinners are put here to farm the land!

After all, there are few people in the Tang Dynasty now, and those criminals are wasting food in prison. It is better to just throw them to Lingnan to farm, and they can make a little contribution to the country.

Li Congjia asked after listening: "But the problem is that exile to Lingnan is a serious crime. If you throw any criminals there, I'm afraid someone will find trouble again."

Shi Xueting said: "In the past, it was just because people couldn't deal with the miasma, but now the matter of miasma has been resolved, not to mention that there is no miasma everywhere in Lingnan, otherwise how would those natives live? In the future, they can choose to be exiled outside the customs, and Lingnan as a place to punish criminals."

Li Congjia rubbed his chin and said, "Wait for me to think about it. This matter needs to be carefully planned. How about it? Tomorrow is the Xiaochao meeting. Come with me, and we can see if we can change the policy."

Of course, this kind of matter cannot be decided with a slap on the head, and the wisdom of those veteran ministers must always be used.

After Shi Xueting explained the matter almost, he asked: "Did the Ministry of Punishments find out anything?"

"Huh? You mean the assassin?" Li Congjia shook his head: "That's a tough one, and I didn't ask anything. Fortunately, Master Qingsong and the others found Master Xuehe in advance, otherwise... I'm afraid that when I see Master Xuehe again , is a corpse."

Shi Xueting snorted coldly: "Is the Ministry of Punishment full of wine bags and rice bags? They haven't asked anything until now."

Li Congjia shrugged his shoulders: "There's nothing to ask, the reason for the assassination is already clear, Master Xuehe has also been found, the only thing I don't know is how he disguised himself, but it doesn't matter if you know this thing, um, Go back and tell the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, if it is of no value, just deal with it."

Shi Xueting stretched his wrist and said: "Tomorrow the court will go down, I will go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to have a look."

Shi Xueting would know that assassin no matter what, a little assassin almost made him lose the most important person in his life, as well as his most trusted senior brother, it's no wonder he let him go.

Li Congjia didn't ask Shi Xueting how he wanted to deal with that person, but said: "It's getting late, I'm tired, if you can't sleep, go back to Guoshi Mansion to meet Shi Shilang, thanks to him that day, but , he'd better not get involved in this matter, so I didn't see him much, you go and see him for me."

Shi Xueting glanced at him with a half-smile, leaned over and bit his ear and said, "Are you scared?"

Li Congjia raised his chest: "In order to live a few more years, I must restrict you."

Shi Xueting raised his eyebrows: "I just came back and didn't do anything."

Li Congjia snorted: "When you start doing it, I'm afraid I won't go to court tomorrow."

Shi Xueting thought for a while and said: "Well, the day after tomorrow is a holiday, so I'll let you go today."

Li Congjia's shoulders slumped suddenly, how could he escape the rhythm of the first day of junior high school but not the fifteenth day of junior high school.

Shi Xueting kissed him and turned to leave the palace. Li Congjia looked at his back and deeply felt that he should drink some Shiquan Dabu soup these two days, otherwise he might die in bed.

The next day Shi Xueting's appearance at the court meeting surprised everyone. None of them knew that Shi Xueting had returned. I have to say that as the head of the intelligence department, Shi Xueting did a good job of keeping secrets. in place.

After Li Congjia finished his daily affairs, he brought up the matter in Lingnan.

Fan asked, "Is it true that the rice over there can be harvested three times a year?"

Shi Xueting nodded and said, "Find a suitable place over there, where the temperature and humidity are suitable, so it's not a problem to grow three crops of rice."

Fan Zhi's face was like the rest of his life, and he said repeatedly: "It's so good, it's so good."

After all, everyone is worried about food, and no one thinks about natural disasters and man-made disasters, but they can't stop it. This year is a plague of locusts. Who knows if the weather will be smooth next year?There are often droughts or floods in the Central Plains. There are fewer and fewer times when the year is good. There may be floods in the south of the Lingnan, and droughts should rarely occur.

Fan Zhi began to think about how to vigorously strengthen the development of Lingnan.

Li Congjia said, "Although the three-season rice is good, if you really want to produce more rice, it may take two seasons."

Wei Renpu asked: "Why? One season is missing, how can there be more?"

Li Congjia said seriously: "Because the fertility of the land is limited, if the climate is suitable, the soil should also be suitable. If the soil is not fertile enough, the food grown will be less. If you don't believe me, try it out."

The cabinet ministers were very surprised. Li Congjia should be more pampered than them, but he actually knows that he really knows about farming?But thinking of the agricultural tools he made before, it doesn't seem to be very surprising.

Li Congjia said: "Now there is a shortage of people in Lingnan, and the place is huge. Even if all the local natives use it, they may not be able to reclaim so much wasteland. Therefore, I will discuss with the National Teacher. In the future, those who need to spend a long time in prison can be sent to Going to farm in Lingnan, well, this is called reform through labor, if you behave well, you can reduce your sentence, how about it?"

Wang Pu's first reaction was: "Then... the crime of exile in the future... How should we formulate it?"

Li Congjia said with a smile: "It's better to exile Lingnan, let them farm the land, if they behave well, maybe they can be pardoned."

Fan Zhi agrees with this, after all, this is another kind of waste utilization.

Naturally, this matter has to be formulated together with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, because it already involves changes in the law book. After all, there are many crimes in the whole law book. Those who can be reduced through labor reform and those who cannot be separated must be separated.

Li Congjia only emphasized one point: "If you are sentenced to beheading, your sentence cannot be reduced!"

Beheading is a very severe criminal law these days, even the emperor has to verify and re-examine the sentence. It can be said that he will never be sentenced to beheading if he is not guilty of a heinous crime. Therefore, Li Congjia naturally does not want to let such a sinner go.

In the past, it was possible for these people to walk out of the prison when they met Amnesty, but now Li Congjia directly stipulates that they are dead, and all prisoners in the death row will not be pardoned!

Li Congjia habitually left the matter to the people below, and turned around and wanted to go to the world of two with Shi Xueting, but found that Shi Xueting's person could not be found.

After asking Chunsheng, I found out that Shi Xueting went directly to the Ministry of Punishment. For some reason, Li Congjia suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Han Xuancheng, and it fell into Shi Xueting's hands.

After Li Congjia read the last paper and severely criticized the censor who was looking for trouble, Shi Xueting finally came back.

Li Congjia looked him up and down, and knew that this guy ran back and changed a suit of clothes, so he couldn't help but said, "What did you ask?"

Shi Xueting said with a serious face: "Of course I asked an answer you couldn't think of."

"Unexpected?" Li Congjia asked curiously, "What is it?"

Shi Xueting said: "Han Xuancheng is not from Korea."
