Seeing that this group of old ministers were going to turn this Tai Chi Hall into that vegetable market entrance, Li Er's face became more and more ugly.

But I heard Cheng Yaojin's laughter coming from the hall: "Wow ha ha ha ha..."

499 Don't Let Me Down

"Wahhahaha, Your Majesty, these old ministers have worked so hard, it's very rare. In this case, why not order them all to go to Hu County? On behalf of the court officials and Your Majesty, go to supervise the rice planting in Hu County. To avoid Li Wangyou The boy deceived His Majesty and harmed the people."

Cheng Yaojin's words made Li Er's eyes light up, this plan is very good!

And the dozen or so old ministers who were still kneeling on the ground and crying, were all dumbfounded, let them go to Hu County?How can this be?

Everyone stopped crying and got up together, glaring at Cheng Yaojin.

"Lu Guogong, you, how can you say that?"

"Your Majesty, I am old and frail, how can I stand up to such fatigue? Is Lu Guogong trying to force the minister to die?"

"Lu Guogong, what do you mean by this? You, how can you give His Majesty such nonsense?"

Li Er didn't pay attention to what these veterans said at all. He was annoyed when he saw this group of people now, and it would be best if he could send them away.

These Confucian scholars and veterans who Li Er respected very much, now, in Li Er's view, compared with Li Wangyou, they are simply a group of trash who can only talk empty words.

Li Wangyou was willing to gamble all his family property for the sake of [-] households and counties, but this group of veterans who kept berating Li Wangyou were just talking.

Which is more important, Li Er is naturally clear.

Li Er pretended not to have heard the cries of the old ministers under the imperial steps: "Well, Zhijie's words are reasonable. The matter of replanting rice in Hu County has never happened in ancient times, but it is extremely important. We must not let the people suffer. In this case However, it needs senior and prudent ministers from the court to supervise this matter. You are all my ministers, and I naturally trust you. Therefore, the matter of changing Hu County to rice cultivation this time has to be entrusted to you.”

He didn't wait for those old ministers to react, and immediately told Changsun Wuji: "Wuji, the Ministry of Officials hastened to handle the paperwork for the princes today. These lovers will go to Hu County to supervise the rice planting tomorrow. There is no delay in planting rice seedlings." , no delay."

The dozen or so old officials were completely stupefied, unable to figure out what happened.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Changsun Wuji naturally would not have any opinion, so he stood up immediately and said, "I obey the order."

"Although you are going to Hu County to supervise rice planting, I will naturally not let your hard work be in vain. Mr. Dai, during the period when you are supervising rice planting in Hu County, each person's monthly salary will be increased by one grade."

"Minister obeys the order." Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, still didn't understand Li Er's thoughts, and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay, gentlemen, you don't need to participate in the regular court today, and go back to the official office to hand over the errands. Go back to the mansion to pack up, and go to Hu County to take up the post tomorrow." Li Er quickly cut the mess, and directly killed the dozen or so people. The old officials who impeached Li Wangyou were expelled from the court.

These dozen or so old ministers were really stupid at this time, no one thought that Li Er would do such a trick.

Li Er directly drove them out of the court, saying that he wanted them to go to Hu County to supervise rice planting, but what kind of job is this?

Moreover, Li Er didn't say at all what kind of official position they went to Hu County to hold, which meant that the so-called supervision was basically a vacant position.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty should not only look at their official titles, but their official positions.

Just like Li Wangyou, although he is honorable, the founding magistrate is equivalent to an official rank on the fourth rank.But he did not hold any official position, so he just received a salary and had no real power.

This group of veterans, Li Er said nicely, asked them to go to Hu County to supervise rice planting, but did not promise any official positions.In other words, although these old officials have not lost their positions, they have resigned and become people who only receive monthly salaries and do not work.

Li Er not only gave them "salaries" in vain, but also raised the salary standard by one level.If ordinary office workers in future generations encountered such a good thing, they would laugh their teeth out.

But these veterans, at the moment, are as if they are mourning their concubines, the expressions on their faces are not to mention how ugly, just like dead parents.

Are they short of that monthly salary?

For these old ministers, losing their official position is really more uncomfortable than killing them.

Speaking of which, the old ministers who stand up to impeach Li Wangyou out of righteous indignation today are basically senior court officials of the fourth rank or above.

But according to what Li Er said, after they were sent to Hu County, let alone Yang Zuan, the county magistrate, even the county magistrates and clerks, whether they listened to them or not depended on their mood.

A group of third-rank and fourth-rank officials sounds good to say, but they have no official positions, and those government servants and scribes may not really buy their account.

This is the reason why the so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

Supervising rice planting is simply to find an excuse to drive them out of Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, old minister..."

A group of old ministers knelt down again, this time they really cried, all of them burst into tears, weeping uncontrollably, hoping that Li Er would take back his life.

Li Er didn't care about them, and waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, gentlemen, don't act like a son and daughter. There is no delay in replanting rice in Hu County, and I hope you will not disappoint my expectations, go and go. "

After all the words have been said, these old officials really have nothing to say, they can only look back three times at a step, and leave the Tai Chi Hall wiping their tears.

The farce of today's impeachment of Li Wangyou came to an end, but in the hearts of all officials, the impression of Li Wangyou was a little deeper.

This kind of grace is simply unbearable.

A group of senior ministers and Confucians of the third and fourth grades were reprimanded by the saints and lost their official positions for impeaching the Huxian Bo.As for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, not even one person stood up to intercede for them.

Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other bigwigs in the court did not take today's matter seriously, but they did not expect that not long after, they would also cause a big trouble.

This is all for later, let's not mention it for now.

After coming down to Changchao, both Ma Zhou and Yan Liben asked for leave with their superiors, and rode a special trip to Dingzhou Village to explain to Li Wangyou what happened in the Taiji Hall today.

Regarding this, Li Wangyou just laughed, he didn't think this kind of so-called impeachment, which was not painful, could do anything to him.

As for those old officials who were driven to Hu County, Li Wangyou didn't care much.

Anyway, he wasn't the one to farm the land. It's none of his business what those people like to do.

"Bin Wang, Liben, you came at a good time, come here, and help me write these posts. After you return to Chang'an City, help me deliver the posts, haha, thank you." Li Wangyou saw When his disciple came, he immediately grabbed the strong man and helped him with work.

In a few days, it will be August 31, his housewarming.

He was immersed in writing invitations, feeling impatient, and it happened that Ma Zhou and Yan Li had arrived, so there was no reason for him not to be lazy.

In Chang'an City, there are hundreds of dignitaries, aristocratic families, and hundreds of officials. These invitations have to be written by hand, which is really troublesome.

A few days ago, Cheng Chumo sent only a small part of the invitations for him, but today he had to send out the rest of the invitations.

Ma Zhou and Yan Liben looked at each other helplessly, they could only shake their heads, took Li Wangyou's pen and paper, and started working hard...

500 two goblins

August 31, the second year of Zhenguan, is an auspicious day, easy to move into the house, meet relatives and friends.

Not only is Li Wangyou moving into the new mansion today, but all 120 and seven families in Dingzhou Village are also relocated.

Originally, Lao Cunzheng wanted to stagger the days for a few nights, so as not to disturb the guests of Li Wangyou's big banquet today.

However, Li Wangyou and the beautiful boss disagreed with each other, so they all decided to move today.
