"Well, I thank Master Tang on behalf of Li Zhifeng." You Miao smiled and turned to leave. When he was discharged from the hospital, his face sank, and he cursed in his heart.
This confrontation has just begun. Tang Bo himself did not appear, but hinted that the imperial censor was correcting Li Zhifeng, but You Miao's reaction was faster than Tang Bo's. The fields of the Tang family were connected to the inner and outer three layers of all the nobles, and the interests of the outer three layers were completely swept away. Really barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.
Now it all depends on the capabilities of Sun Yu and Zhao Chao. You Miao has a hunch that this time he has set off a storm. If Zhao Chao's arrangement is to marry the daughter of the Xie family, if he wants to stand still in the court, he will will be much easier. At that time, there will be no resistance to pushing the new law.
At the moment, in total, only the northern gentry are on their side, and these people account for less than 30% of the court. Except for Pingxi, Lin Luoyang and other young people who have made good friends, the rest have no right to receive salaries. people. Instead, the Jiangnan gentry guarded the pivotal positions of the six divisions and below.
In addition, Sun Yu, a minister of political affairs, can solve several old ministers as long as Sun Yu supports himself.
There is also the biggest landlord, Zhao Chao.
Maybe there is still some chance of winning... You Miao was very worried, and when he arrived at the barracks, he saw Li Zhifeng hanging around, drinking on the haystack.
"General Tiger Might! What are you doing!" You Miao couldn't help laughing and laughing. Li Zhifeng jumped off the haystack and smiled when he saw You Miao, his smile was handsome and sunny.
Li Zhifeng: "Are you done?"
You Miao said helplessly, "Are you so idle?"
Li Zhifeng smiled slightly, picked up You Miao, and said, "Come on."
Li Zhifeng took You Miao a few steps to the haystack and let You Miao lie down on the haystack with the two facing the sky. In autumn, the sun is shining, but it is not too hot, the wind is cool, and the sky is blue as if washed by water.
As soon as You Miao lay down, she couldn't help but admire: "The scenery is so good."
Li Zhifeng hummed and looked at the sky in a trance.
The big white clouds slowly drifted by.
"That cloud looks like a dog." You Miao said with a smile.
Li Zhifeng: "The flock is behind."
The two were silent for a while, and Li Zhifeng added: "It's like this outside the Great Wall. The herdsmen keep many sheep and find a few shepherd dogs to watch."
You Miao: "Well, my mother told me stories about the Great Wall before. She heard it from the caravan going south."
You Miao began to tell Li Zhifeng that story—a story about a shepherd dog, a wolf, a sheep, and a herdsman. In the story, the herdsman raised a dog and a flock of sheep. A lamb was lost. The shepherd looked for it. When he came back, he found that the wolf came and took the other sheep. The owner thought the shepherd was negligent, so he beat it up. The sheep hated it too, so a flock of sheep tried to hobble the dog's legs, and the dog limped.
Later, when the shepherd took the sheep out to graze, he was thrown off by the sheep. I was alone in the mountains all night looking for a way. That night, after the sheep returned to the sheepfold, the wolf came...
When it came to this, You Miao didn't say any more, but asked: "By the way, what happened to your soldiers, and the complaint went to the third brother."
Li Zhifeng was still immersed in You Miao's story, and thoughtfully, he was a little surprised when he heard such a sentence. Looking at You Miao, he replied, "No, what's wrong?"
You Miao said, "You said that your men stepped on the paddy field when they were marching."
Li Zhifeng frowned slightly, and You Miao got down from the haystack and said, "Just do the right thing."
When You Miao entered the barracks, Li Zhifeng called his generals one by one. You Miao questioned the details of the impeachment one by one, but did not inform Li Zhifeng in detail.
Every time he asked a question, Li Zhifeng's face became more and more ugly.
Sure enough, there was a case of trampling on the rice fields, but that was because of the severe drought, the ground was cracked, and there was no harvest at all. There are also private fights, but a few soldiers got drunk and fought in the city of Yangzhou. There are some serious things about looting property. It was a soldier called Alang by a subordinate. It was half of July when he returned to his hometown. The family in the village built a wall and crossed the border. At the turn of the year, he begged Alang for help, and Alang took the lead and demolished the entire courtyard wall of the family.
Rape of women is more complicated. But if you take it seriously, it can't be considered coercion. Before joining the army, there was a man in the Yangzhou army who had privately promised a lifelong relationship with a childhood sweetheart girl. Later, something like the peacock flying southeast happened. Coincidentally, the woman's family is also a lover of money, so she sued the man in the accident to the county government, saying that he forced his daughter to death.
After You Miao asked one by one, a crowd of people knelt in front of him. When Li Zhifeng heard the end, he asked, "Who is impeaching me?"
You Miao did not open the court trial, but Li Zhifeng still guessed it.
"There are too many people who have impeached you." You Miao couldn't help laughing and crying: "What are you going to do with it?"
Li Zhifeng said, "Which ones, you can put your memorials on the list and report them. I'll come to sit one by one tonight."
You Miao: "… "
You Miao: "Sit down with a knife?"
Li Zhifeng frowned deeply and said nothing.
You Miao knew that this guy was stubborn again, so he could only comfort him: "Alright, alright, I have a way to treat them, and you should keep some extra food for yourself."
You Miao comforted them one by one. Except for the group of people who fought in Yangzhou City, each of them was punished with five military sticks, and the others did not scold them. You Miao also gave him 10 taels of silver to the soldier where the woman died, and told him to go back to bury the girl. After the good words to comfort him, Li Zhifeng was still a little irritable.
You Miao looked at Li Zhifeng with a half-smile.
Li Zhifeng couldn't figure it out: "Why are they all targeting us? We risk our lives, we are working for Tianqi, we are doing things for the country and the people, and what is the benefit to them?"
"It's no good." You Miao regretted.
Li Zhifeng: "Then why do they still do it?"
"That's why the capital will be beaten to pieces at that time." You Miao laughed.
Li Zhifeng has lost his temper. You Miao looked at Li Zhifeng and couldn't help but laugh. He thought he was too funny. He was obviously older than himself and more stable, but over the years, his temperament turned out to be the same. No matter what has happened, a heart is still like a child.
You Miao went over, kissed Li Zhifeng's lips, and said, "That's how officialdom is. Ups and downs are hard to say. Whoever has the last laugh is the winner. Look at me, Mr. He entered the Imperial Academy at the age of 25, was implicated in the imperial examination fraud case at the age of 25, and was exiled to Yanzhou. At the age of 33, he was rehabilitated and returned to Beijing. He was cut from his post, exiled to Liuzhou, and held a vacant post. Now he is seventy-one years old."
