That guy is a mad dog, as long as the emperor gives him a wink, no matter who he is, he will dare to rush up and bite.
But he didn't do such things as treacherous ministers.For example, Li Yifu, a treacherous official whom most of the courtiers sneered at, was able to make a fortune by being the emperor's dog.
But Xu Jingzong was different, he was also one of the eighteen bachelors in Qin Palace back then, so there was no problem with his abilities.And he doesn't take bribes or take bribes.The only thing that people criticized was hugging the emperor's thigh and spraying people.
Xu Jingzong came in with an angry face, "Your Majesty!"
Li Zhi, who was thinking about his confidant, was confused by this, "Xu Qing, why?"
Xu Jingzong said in grief and indignation: "Your Majesty, do you remember that I asked for orders to clean up the matter of grinding?"
Li Zhi thought for a while, "I remember this matter."
That year Xu Jingzong took the initiative to ask for orders to clean up the grindstones on the rivers around Chang'an, which can be called carrying the coffin into battle.
Those dikes and dams were destroyed, and the mills were dismantled, and the people on both sides of the strait shouted for Xu Qingtian.
Those so-called gentlemen or loyal ministers blocked the river and built dams, which made it difficult for the fields on both sides to irrigate, and the harvest dropped sharply.But Xu Jingzong, known as the treacherous minister Xu, carried the coffin into battle and destroyed those things that harmed the people.
"Your Majesty, on the rivers outside of Chang'an, millstones are growing again!"
Xu Jingzong was furious, "Your Majesty, it's spring, and the cultivation on both sides of the strait needs to be irrigated, but the masters of the mills wantonly intercept the water source and refuse to release the water. Your Majesty, those people have nowhere to ask for help!"
Changsun Wuji glanced at Chu Suiliang.
Chu Suiliang nodded, indicating that it was true.
But... what the rich and powerful collectively do is nothing serious.If Xu Jingzong hadn't pointed it out today, no one would care about this matter.
Li Zhi only felt his anger welling up, "Could it be that what I said just fell on your ears?"
Changsun Wuji got up, "Your Majesty, turn around and reprimand one by one. But..."
Unless the emperor can be ruthless, for example, whoever builds a dam without permission will be severely punished, then naturally no one will dare to move.
But once he did it, he offended a group of dignitaries.
Li Zhi was weighing the pros and cons.
He naturally hates such things, but he is the emperor.The combined energy of those dignitaries is not small.It's okay to scold, even fine some money.
Severe punishment, backlash he may bear?
This is the imperial thinking.
Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, it's better to take this matter slowly. If you are in a hurry, you will be backlashed."
Xu Jingzong was furious, "Eldest Sun Xianggong only cared about the face of those powerful people, but do you still remember the suffering of the people on both sides of the strait?"
This dog thing!
Changsun Wuji said coldly: "As a minister, you should act carefully, you don't understand."
You are just a minister of the Ministry of Rites and don't understand the overall situation!
Changsun Wuji seldom talks on weekdays, but once he speaks viciously, it is refreshing.
Chu Suiliang nodded slightly, feeling that the skill of his old comrade-in-arms was still undiminished.
"What is the overall situation?" Xu Jingzong began to substitute... The common people are the old man's parents, his eyes were red, "The rich and powerful's money is the overall situation, isn't the people's rice bowl the overall situation? The rich and powerful raised by the Tang Dynasty are fat and strong , but look at those people, but they are waiting to be fed because the fields cannot be watered!"
He looked at these prime ministers and waved his arms angrily, "The dignitaries have less money and still have good food and clothing. Why don't you accept some greed and leave a way for the people to survive, can you?"
This mad dog!
Chu Suiliang said coldly: "If this is the case, His Majesty will be embarrassed."
Xu Jingzong held his head high, "In that case, I will go!"
He turned around and saluted, "Your Majesty, I ask for orders to clean up those mills. If you can't succeed...the minister will not come back!"
"Xu Qing!"
Li Zhi took a deep breath and glanced at the prime ministers.
So at the critical moment, is my confidant reliable?
But the last time Xu Jingzong went to clean up the mill, he has been hated until now. If he goes again...
He was afraid he was going to be in danger.
For a while, Li Zhi had a hard time making a choice.
"Your Majesty, Lu Guogong and others are asking to see you."
Li Zhi nodded.I thought to leave this matter aside for the time being, and think about it later.
"His Majesty!"
Cheng Zhijie came in with a bag.
"Cheng Qing, what is this?"
When everyone turned around, they couldn't help being surprised to see the cloth bag in Cheng Zhijie's hand.
"Your Majesty, I invite Your Majesty to taste this."
With a bang, Cheng Zhijie put the cloth bag in front of Cui Dunli, opened it, and asked Wang Zhongliang to check it.
"What is this?"
“Fried noodles!”
……
good night!
Chapter 532 A big happy event
Fried noodles?
Li Zhi took a look, "Bring some."
Wang Zhongliang held it up.
But he stopped suddenly, thinking that he hadn't tested the poison!
Cheng Zhijie said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the fried noodles were made by the old minister and others watching Wuyanghou in person."
