Chapter 739: fish in troubled waters

  Chapter 739 Fishing in Troubled Waters

  Fang Xuanling was dismissed as Doctor Guanglu, the position of Shang Shu Zuo Pushe was gone, and the position of Prince and Junior Teacher was also removed, similar to Qin Lang, only the ranks were retained, lords, and officials were all removed.

  The official statement is that Prime Minister Fang Xuanling was impeached by Yushitai and voluntarily resigned to accept investigation.

   "This matter was all started by Zhao Shida!"

   Lao Fang drank a few glasses of wine, but he didn't hide from Qin Lang. Although the two were not close allies in court, they were not political enemies either.

   Now that the two old fellows who have lost their prime minister gather together for a drink and chat, there is nothing to be wary of.

   "Zhao Shida from the sage's hidden residence?"

Qin Lang also knew about Zhao Shida. Zhao Shida was originally a member of the Rebel Army at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He was just a rascal in Henan who didn't do production. Taking advantage of the troubled times, he formed a team and began to occupy land as the king, calling himself the general manager. .

  In fact, there were many such people in the late Sui Dynasty, such as Wang Junkuo, Zhang Shigui and so on.

The chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty was an era when the big fish eat the little king. The heroes rose together and merged with each other. For example, in the Central Plains, only the two major forces of Wang Shichong and Li Mi remained in the end; Fu Wei, Li Zitong, Chen Ling, Shen Faxing and so on.

  Although Zhao Shida had more than 10,000 troops, he still voted for Li Mi in the end. Later, when Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, he led his troops and territory to vote for Li Tang, earlier than Qin Qiong and the others. Therefore, the rewards obtained are also high, and he was directly granted the title of county magistrate and general manager.

   Later, he was placed under the command of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and he followed Li Shimin to flatten Luoyang and attack Hebei, and also made some contributions. After that, he successively served as the governor of Zezhou and the governor of Qizhou.

This guy is the same as Wang Junkuo. In troubled times, he is fierce and savage, cruel and ruthless, and he has no faith at all. When the world is peaceful and he becomes an official in the local area, he doesn't restrain himself. Wives and daughters do many evil things.

   When Li Xuandao took office as governor of Qizhou, he discovered that his predecessor Zhao Shida had occupied dozens of hectares of farmland, all of which were the most fertile fields in the state.

   Li Xuandao is a civil servant, rather upright. After finding out the case, he didn’t show Zhao Shida any face, and directly ordered the recovery of these fields and returned them to the original owners. He also confiscated a lot of money from the Zhao family as compensation.

   This matter was applauded by the local people, of course, but Zhao Shida was dissatisfied.

   At this time, he was transferred back to Chang'an to serve as the general of the Weifu. Thousands of acres of fertile land were confiscated like this, he was not reconciled. He felt that he was a hero in the founding of the country, and everyone did this, such as Zhang Shigui, Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, etc., which general and hero did not do this kind of thing?

  Zhao Shida took the initiative to send someone to find Li Xuandao, hoping to turn this matter around.

   But Li Xuandao ignored it.

Zhao Shida was also annoyed, so he immediately asked the stewards in Qizhou to start inciting riots, and immediately arranged for someone to deliver an anonymous report letter to Yushitai, directly accusing Li Xuandao of accepting bribes in Qizhou, which was both embezzlement and bullying of the people. Wait, but blamed many of the things I have done on Li Xuandao.

  A lot of things are written with nose and eyes, and even they did deliberately design some pitfalls for Li Xuandao.

  The government treasury of the prefectural government is short of money, all kinds of bad debts, anyway, as long as the imperial court investigates, Li Xuandao is an inexplicable ass.

Before this matter got serious, Fang Xuanling knew about it first. He sent someone to investigate, and then found that there was something wrong with this matter, so he negotiated with Han Zhongliang, the doctor of imperial history, and hoped that Shang Shusheng would send someone here first. Qizhou will conduct a self-examination and report to Yushitai after finding out.

   Originally, Han Zhongliang also agreed.

  But I don’t know what’s going on, the news leaked out, and someone in Yushitai refused. Han Zhongliang was originally airborne, and he was not safe in Yushitai.

  Things fermented rapidly, and someone directly impeached Fang Xuanling and Han Zhongliang for using power for personal gain and protecting private parties.

   Things got more and more troublesome, so Fang Xuanling resigned as prime minister, and Han Zhongliang's buttocks were already unstable.

"I've already done a lot of research. The person who caused the trouble was Zhao Shida, and some Qizhou tyrants who were instigated by him. Those tyrants have accumulated a lot of resentment because of the new laws of the court in recent years, such as double taxes and tenancy. This time Li In the past, the governor cracked down on illegal occupation of land, usury, high rent and other violations, and many local tyrants were investigated..."

The local tyrants are not prime ministers like Qin Langfang Xuanling. They look farther and have a bigger picture. They only stare at the one-acre three-point land under their buttocks. What they are looking at is the interests in the bowl. They are not willing to do anything.

  Whether it is the reform of the two tax laws through the adjustment of rent and mediocrity, or the introduction of the special tenancy law by the imperial court, the crackdown on usury, the control of land rent, etc., these local tyrants have suffered a lot of losses.

  Zhao Shida took the initiative to take the lead in making trouble and fanning the flames, so these people all followed.

  But no matter how troublesome it is, it will become a climate. Fang Xuanling has almost figured it out, and is ready to deal with these people severely. Who knows that such a **** thing will happen at Yushitai at this time.

   "Does Your Majesty know this?"

   "Let Yushitai take the lead in the joint investigation of the first three divisions. The results they come up with will always be better." Lao Fang said. "This time the matter is very deep. This Zhao Shida is not a reckless man. As far as I know, he has dragged Sun Shunde and Zhang Shigui into the water, and even Liu Hongji has been involved by him."

  Because of this, Fang Xuanling simply resigned and went home now.

   This matter will continue to make a big fuss, but it will definitely end.

   "How did you get involved with Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, and Zhang Shigui again?"

"This Zhao Shida once fought with Changsun Shunde. He is considered as Changsun's old subordinate. You also know that Changsun Gong is a bit greedy and lustful. This Zhao Shida fell in love with him. He usually gave Changsun Gong a lot of money. Beauty, as soon as something happened in Qizhou this time, this guy immediately sent all the title deeds of thousands of acres of land in Qizhou to the name of grandson Shunde."

  Eldest Sun Shunde was also greedy for money. Seeing thousands of acres of fertile and fertile land and several Jiangnan beauties, he immediately agreed to settle the matter with his chest, and agreed to settle the matter for Zhao Shida.

  Zhao Shida did the same, and donated thousands of acres of land he occupied when he was the governor of Zezhou to Liu Hongji.

  Finally, they also secretly asked people to report Zhang Shigui's occupation of fertile land, embezzlement and bribery when he was governor, in order to muddy the water.

Both Changsun Shunde and Liu Hongji were founding heroes, and at the same time had a high status in the Zhenguan Dynasty. Although both of them were involved in Li Xiaoliang and other rebellion cases, but the eldest Sun Shunde was the queen's uncle after all. Hongji was also someone Li Shimin trusted very much.

Fang Xuanling was also in a panic. Seeing that the water was getting more and more muddy, he took the opportunity to resign on his own initiative. On the surface, he said that he wanted to follow Qin Lang's lead and maintain the new law of the prime minister being impeached. In fact, he just didn't want to Get yourself involved.

  Chang Sun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Zhang Shigui, plus Zhao Shida, and Yu Shitai, if he comes to deal with it, when the case is found out and he has offended these people, it is better to push it to Yu Shitai.

   I have to say, what an old fox.

  Zhao Shida is very smart, but he still can't beat Fang Xuanling.

"When we fought on the battlefield, Zhao Shida was a strong general, and he always showed humility in the court. I didn't expect this man to be so vicious in the local area, and he was a fisherman for the common people." Lao Fang sighed, "Multiple lines Injustice will kill itself!"

  He has declared the man's fate, the end.

  Of course Qin Lang agreed with Lao Fang's judgment. Lao Zhao wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't want the deeper he made the water, the more people he pulled into the water, the worse his death would be.

  No one can save this guy.

  Usually the two of them were concerned about their status and status, even though they were from the same township, they seldom moved around, and in the yamen of the imperial court, they were all business-like, and today, since Qin Lang took the initiative to visit, it was a rare occasion to sit and drink and chat together.

   "Sanlang didn't plan to go back to Licheng to repair the ancestral grave and rebuild the ancestral house? When will he return to his hometown?"

  If you don’t return home with brocade clothes, it’s like traveling at night with brocade clothes.

  Prosperous, of course you have to return home.

  But both Qin Qiong and Qin Lang have not returned to their hometown in Licheng, Qizhou.

   "My grandfather is out of Songzhou now, and he doesn't even have time to go back to Chang'an, so how can he have time to go back to Licheng?"

  Fang Xuanling also sighed, "Yeah, I'm busy with work, and I can't take time off. Now that I'm suddenly free, I really want to go back to my hometown in Licheng, repair the ancestral house, and pay homage to the ancestral grave."

The Qin family's ancestral tomb and ancestral house were actually repaired by someone. They even specially added a large field to the ancestral tomb, built a Zhuangzi, bought a lot of slaves, and arranged for a housekeeper. With many acres of land, all the output is dedicated to guarding, repairing, and offering sacrifices to the ancestral graves.

The Qin family also raised a special sum of money to build a Qin family school in their hometown in Licheng for the children of the Qin clan and relatives in Licheng to study. school. Children of ethnic groups do not need to pay tuition fees to go to school, full board and lodging, pens and ink, etc. are also provided by the school, and even scholarships have been set up. Good grades can also receive additional scholarships, and there are also student awards. For those whose family conditions are particularly poor , will also be subsidized.

   All of this cost a lot of money, but to Qin Lang and his father today, it is not worth mentioning.

  With these two pieces of land, almost 3,000 mu, the output of the two villages can guarantee stability in the future.

  Children with good grades in ethnology can also be sent to Chang'an, and the government will arrange to study in Beijing Middle School, take care of and train them.

  In this era, clan relations are difficult to erase and separate.

  But Qin Lang really doesn't have any close relationship with his hometown over there, mainly because he doesn't have close relatives, they are all distant relatives.

   "Hou Junji is going back to Beijing!"

  Lao Fang told Qin Lang a new news, because the war in the Western Regions went so smoothly, Nihu still assigned the Five Kingdoms in the south of Tianshan Mountain to Datang as a gift after all, and from then on, Datang directly controlled the Five Kingdoms.

  Ni Shu went to Qianquan Mountain in Suiye River to build teeth and set up a court.

The eldest grandson Wuji stayed in the Western Regions temporarily to deal with the aftermath. The emperor changed the title of Xuzhou governor and Xu Wang Li Yuanjia, the eleventh son of the Supreme Emperor, to the governor of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. Take Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, as the deputy governor, and Xue Wanche as the Sima of the governor.

  The imperial court set up Tingzhou in the land of Yugu and set up the Dudufu, set up Luzhou in the land of Sheer and set up the Dudufu, took the land of Qibibu as Qizhou, and set up the Qishan Dudufu.

  Western Yizhou was changed to Yizhou.

  Gaochang State, Yanqi State, Qiuci State, Shule State, and Khotan State in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, all set up the governor's mansion, and the kings were granted the titles of governors, governors, and dukes.

Li Daozong, Cheng Yaojin and others led some of the Guanlong soldiers and horses back, and some of them stayed in the Western Regions, and stationed in the Western Regions. Tingjiu Town.

  Jiujun Town also belongs to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. Each town has 1,000 Tang troops and 2,000 Tibetan soldiers in the Western Regions. They build post stations and beacon piers, maintain the Silk Road, and guard the countries.

  Hou Jun collected meritorious services in the Western Regions, and was granted the rank of second-rank Guanglu doctor.

   "Old Hou really won the Sacred Heart. He only stayed in the Western Regions for half a year, and then returned to Chang'an to pay respects again?"

"Hou Junji was really lucky. The imperial court sent troops to the Western Regions this time, dispatched troops and generals, and even sent a prime minister to go out. In the end, they didn't expect Siye Hu to be defeated so quickly. No one caught up. Only Hou Junji Got a great deal."

Fang Xuanling knew that Hou Junji and Zhang Liang were the emperor's absolute confidantes. The emperor had a strong desire to control the political affairs hall. Hou Junji was the emperor's most obedient dog. He entered the political affairs hall and did a lot of things. convenient!
