Chastity Layman

Qin Lang, the governor of Youzhou, was tight in the front, but Lin Mo, the governor of Daizhou, was tight in the rear. How could Qin Lang tolerate this kind of thing.

Even if this lawsuit goes to the Golden Palace, he is not afraid.

What's more, Lin Mo's mother is the emperor of Wude, so he can have sex with him unscrupulously. Li Shimin couldn't tell how happy he was when he saw the bulletin. He had to find some reason to replace these old guys for no reason. Now that he had the evidence of the crime, wouldn't it just be kicked away.

Wei Zheng counted Lin Mo's twelve serious crimes for Qin Lang, and the first serious crime was secretly collaborating with the Turks and giving weapons to the enemy.

Chang'an.

Recently, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in Chang'an City. From the Imperial College to the city, many people began to say that Qin Lang was arrogant and domineering. He also said that after he arrived in Youzhou, he unjustly killed Wang Junkuo, the founding hero, and falsely accused the king of rebellion.

He also said that after he killed Wang Junkuo and Li Yuan, he took their young and beautiful concubine and daughter by force, and used the equipment to blackmail the soldiers and civilians in Hebei, and was even harsh on the army in Hebei. Business travel goods.

And cleverly set up a name, cleverly take away.

Even privately transferred government soldiers, regardless of the court system and laws...

At the same time as there was a lot of discussion among the people, some censors and others began to impeach Qin Lang. In addition, the secretary Cheng Zheng Xuanli was also very active. Advance, domineering, use the prince's prestige, run amok, and harm Youzhou...

Li Shimin has been very busy recently, discussing every day how to deal with the Turkic invasion that is certain to come. He needs to analyze and judge the offensive route of the Turks, adjust the defense of troops and horses, and mobilize money, food and military equipment. At this time, he must be on guard. Li Yi, Chai Shao, Li Youliang, Li Xiaochang and other old people of the emperor.

He eats and clothes every day, and sleeps only two hours a day.

But at this time, there was a demonic wind in the hall, all directed at his son-in-law Qin Lang.

There are more and more articles of impeachment.

On Li Shimin's table, there was originally an imperial edict, which was to worship Chai Shao as the head of the Heng'an Road march, and the governor of Youzhou, to go to Hebei to replace Qin Lang, guard the Yanyun area, and monitor the Turkic rear.

But now, Li Shimin is no longer ready to issue this imperial edict.

Using Qin Lang as the governor of Youzhou was originally just an expedient strategy, but the more people opposed it now, Li Shimin felt that Qin Lang might be right.

Li Shimin had seen the impeachment of Qin Lang, and most of them were random accusations, many of which were aimed at Qin Lang's young age, and some of the impeachments that really had something to say did not point to the real point.

For example, Qin Lang expropriated and extorted taxes, what cleverly ordered tax collection, what abused sergeants, what arbitrarily killed sergeants in other towns, and arbitrarily dispatched government soldiers, etc. In fact, he understood the real truth, and there was nothing wrong with what Qin Lang did. .

Sealing off the border, establishing a border market, taxing the border market, and even recruiting government soldiers, etc., are all within the powers he bestowed on Qin Lang, and they can be done cheaply.

Right now, when preparing for a sudden attack, the first thing to do is to fight the battle. Qin Lang did nothing wrong.

"Erlang, drink a cup of ginseng soup and take a break."

Princess Changsun came in with a cup of ginseng soup, seeing her husband lose weight rapidly during this time, she was very distressed.

"It's okay for you to be so busy all day long and refuse to rest. If your health fails, then who will lead the government and lead everyone to resist the Turkic invasion?"

Li Shimin threw another pamphlet of impeaching Qin Lang into a box beside him, and that box was full of impeachment of Qin Lang.

"Is there any wine, I want to have a drink now."

Li Shimin usually doesn't like to drink, but now he really wants to have a drink. The pressure is too great.

"Your Highness, it's better to drink a cup of ginseng soup to replenish your vitality. Drinking alcohol is more likely to hurt your body." The eldest grandson brought the ginseng soup to her husband and looked at him with concern.

Li Shimin had no choice but to take it.

Concubine Changsun began to clear up some cases for her husband, tidying up the table, and saw the full box of bullets.

"Erlang, are these impeachments against Huailiang?"

"Well, the young talents make people jealous. Huailiang has done a good job in Youzhou, which is beyond my expectation. He put down Wang Junkuo and Li Yuan's rebellion in time, and can quickly rectify the frontier army in Youzhou to strengthen the anti-surveillance Preparations are no worse than Li Jing from Lingzhou, Li Shiji from Bingzhou, and Qin Qiong from Liangzhou.”

The eldest grandson didn't look at those bullets, but now there are voices of criticism everywhere in the government and the field, how could she not know it.

"Erlang, Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind. Huailiang is indeed too young. At this age, Erlang, you have just led the army. Huailiang is now in Youzhou to rectify the frontier army, and opened the border city to levy Guanjin. Municipal taxes are used as military funds, and these have indeed touched the interests of many people."

How could Li Shimin not know.

"Although Huailiang is young, he is capable and responsible. Youzhou is rapidly becoming stronger in his hands. If he wants to get rid of the title of inspector and governor of Youzhou, let him do a good job there. He sighed and said, "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Hebei has been the most difficult to conquer the world. The three wars have been very difficult, but even if the war has subsided for more than three years, it is still impossible to fully grasp that area. There are too many constraints, let Huailiang stir the muddy water here this time, see how many big fish are hiding in the bottom of the water, and let them all float their heads!"

The more people impeached Qin Lang, Li Shimin felt that the water in Hebei was getting deeper, and it aroused his unyielding energy.

He, Li Shimin, said last time that he would promise Princess Danyang to the sons of the five surnames, but as a result, all the sons of the aristocratic clans ran out of Chang'an, which made him very angry.

Now, if these people slander his son-in-law in this way, they are making an enemy of him, Li Shimin.

"Erlang, don't be impulsive. My concubine has a different opinion on this matter!" Changsun Wuji usually would not interfere in court affairs, but Qin Lang was also her son-in-law.

"you say?"

"The concubine thinks that no matter how well Huailiang has done in Hebei, since there are so many noises now, it means that this incident has caused a shock. Now it happens to be the critical moment when the Turks are about to invade, and neither left nor right can make up for a stable situation." Words are more important."

"Erlang, Huailiang was originally only the governor of Sicheng, and he should be transferred back after he put down the chaos in Hebei."

Li Shimin frowned.

"Do you want to bow your head to those people alone?"

"This is not bowing your head. It's about protecting Huailiang. It's better to order Huailiang to return to Beijing and continue to be in charge of the Fusi. As for Youzhou, Hebei, you can choose another general to guard it. Your Highness can make appropriate concessions to those people. Take a step, give them some sweetness, and appease them a little, so that they will be satisfied, and they will not be hindered at this time. After the Turks are defeated, His Highness will come to sort out these things again at that time."

The eldest grandson's consideration is different from Li Shimin's.

But it does make sense.

"But at this moment, if Gu transfers Huailiang back to Beijing, wouldn't he be punished for his innocence?"

"Will those people push their feet?"

"Knock a pole and then give two sweet dates. It is necessary to compromise and beat properly. It is good to grasp this degree."

Li Shimin seriously considered what his wife said.

"Erlang, originally Huailiang was only allowed to preside over Youzhou temporarily, so the word inspection was added. Now that Huailiang has made great contributions to calming the chaos, he was recalled to the court and rewarded. undercurrent."

What the eldest grandson is worried about is that the tycoons of the Eastern Hebei family have expressed their strong dissatisfaction with Qin Lang. Whether these impeachments or rumors are just a temptation for them.

If Qin Lang is not called back, these people will surely have countless methods either overtly or secretly. The eldest grandson was worried that Qin Lang was young after all, and now that the Turks were invading south at any time, he was on the front line at this time, and there were still countless people behind him who wanted to hold back his legs.

She was very satisfied with Qin Lang as her son-in-law, and she was not willing to break him off.

Youzhou.

Qin Lang saw Zheng Xuanli again, and after a while, the scarlet robe on Zheng Xuanli's body turned into a green robe again. When he asked, Zheng Xuanli's resentful answer was demoted by the crown prince to be the sixth-rank secretary of the province.

The reason for being demoted was naturally that he impeached Qin Lang. Of course, the reason given by the prince for demoting him was that he used inappropriate words in the letter to the prince, which was disrespectful.

The worst thing was that after being demoted for impeaching Qin Lang, he actually came to Youzhou to read the imperial edict of reward for Qin Lang.

The crown prince credited Qin Lang for rebelling against Youzhou Wang Junkuo and Li Yuan, and for appeasing Youzhou, so he entered the Qin Lang San stage and became Doctor Jinzi Guanglu. On behalf of Qin Lang, no matter what his job is, his salary will be given according to the treatment of the third rank.

At the age of sixteen, he has already been promoted to the third rank, which is still a literary rank, which makes Zheng Xuanli extremely envious and jealous.

Along with this imperial edict, Qin Lang was also granted the post of regular attendant on Sanqi.

Sanqi Changshi is a minister of the third rank and belongs to Menxia Province. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it belonged to the Sanqi Province. In the Sui Dynasty, it was incorporated into the Xia Province. Later, Li Wuchang was abolished, and now Li Shimin re-established it.

However, although the rank of this official position is high, its position is to serve as an admonisher. In fact, it is an idle position with no specific duties. It is generally used as an honorary title for official officials, or for some old and respected senior officials. Relegated to the second line.

Now Li Shimin awarded it to Qin Lang to show that Qin Lang returned to the capital because of meritorious service, not recall.

Right now, Qin Lang's current rank is Doctor Jin Ziguanglu of the third rank, and the official is from the third rank Sanqi Changshi and the fourth rank Shangzhen Fusicheng. The title is Duke Yi, and the honorary officer is Shangzhu Kingdom.

"A special gift of brocade robes and gold belts to enter the court and return to Beijing!"

Qin Lang had previously rejected Wang Junlang's 1,000 real seal transfers, and Li Shimin gave him another 300 real seals this time, so now 900 households have been granted real food seals.

Qin Lang received the imperial edict without any change on his face. After all, he was recalled back to Beijing by Li Shimin. It seems that he has indeed stabbed a hornet's nest and touched the cheese of many people. Qin Lang wasn't dissatisfied with the emperor calling him back, so if he didn't play, he wouldn't play, at least his official rank would be promoted.

Li Shimin did not send someone to take over the position of Governor of Youzhou. Instead, he conferred on his eldest son Li Chengqian the post of Governor of Youzhou. Governor...

Both Li Daoxuan and Wei Zheng were recruited to return to Beijing together, and Cui Dunli was promoted from fifth-rank secretary Cheng.

There is another news that Lin Mo, the governor of Daizhou, was appointed General Youwuwei and was recruited into the court. A hero of the Xuanwu Gate, Zhang Gong, the prince's family order, is honored to be the Duke of Dingyuan County, and he will take over the post of Daizhou Governor.

Li Jinxing, the governor of Yanzhou and the Duke of Yan, was also conscripted into the court and given the post of general of the left prison gate guard.

The prince also specially adjusted the tariffs, city tax, deed tax, etc. that Qin Lang had set before. The merchants in the border market were taxed at 20 per thousand renminbi, and the residents and merchants were levied at 30 per 1000 renminbi.

In addition, there is a tax of 20 yuan for all transactions in the border city.

A special tax of one tax per ten is levied on salt, tea, wine, iron, bamboo and wood.

Compared with the previous tax set by Qin Lang, it has been lowered a lot, and the over-tax is equivalent to the original tariff, which has been reduced from 5% to 2%. The residential tax is equivalent to the city tax, which has also been reduced to 2%.

Except Moqian is the transaction tax and deed tax, which is reduced to 5%. Even special taxes on salt and tea were reduced to one tax per ten.

Li Shimin also issued a decree to strictly stipulate that these taxes are only collected in the eleven border markets established on the border of Youzhou, and are never collected outside the border markets.
