Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

It's all his fault!

If Changsun Wuji hadn't presented the performance, His Majesty would not have agreed to change the method of redemption for copper without abolishing it.

You can redeem copper for sin.

There will be no such problem!

Zhang Dun was able to make trouble to this point, all because Zhangsun Wuji was supporting him and helping him!

Zhang Liang shouted loudly: "Come here, follow this old man to Duke Qi's mansion!"

"promise!"

The [-] members of the trilogy in the courtyard stood up in awe, clasped their fists and shouted loudly.

Duke Qi's mansion.

Changsun Wuji limped back from the palace.

As soon as he dared to enter the door, he ran into his son, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Is this brat just idle and doing nothing?Can't you learn from Zhang Dun?

Chang Sun Chong was startled when he saw his father's bruised nose and swollen face, and hurried up to support him and said, "Father, what's wrong with your face?"

Changsun Wuji said expressionlessly, "It hit the door."

"Ah?" Chang Sun Chong looked at him in surprise.

Hit the door?Your injury doesn't look like it could be knocked out on the door at all!

Changsun Wuji broke away impatiently from the palm he was caressing, "Don't ask, shame!"

Chang Sun Chong kept his mouth shut tactfully, his mind racing with thoughts.

He remembered that his father just went to the palace, could it be His Majesty who beat him?

That's impossible!

It is impossible for Li Er to fight against anyone, and it is impossible to fight against his father.

After all, my father's younger sister is the empress of the dynasty!

At this moment, the old butler of the mansion came in with a panicked expression, and said loudly, "Duke, it's not good!"

Changsun Wuji was about to enter the hall, when he heard this, he couldn't help but pause, and turned around and asked, "Is Zhang Liang here?"

"Yes!" The mansion's old steward nodded hurriedly, and said anxiously: "He still has a trilogy, more than 50 people, armed with swords and bows, full of murderous intent!"

Changsun Wuji sneered and said, "Hmph, I knew that he would definitely come."

Zhang Dun has an imperial decree in his hand, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and Zhang Liang's mansion will definitely arrest people.

With the holy decree, Zhang Liang would never dare to obstruct it.

So he can only vent his anger on himself.

How unlucky!

Among the unlucky people in the world, can't the old man be missing!

Changsun Wuji was also furious in his heart, he waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

Suddenly, a cold voice resounded from the direction of the mansion gate.

"Don't be so troublesome!"

Changsun Wuji raised his brows, and saw Zhang Liang walking in with a dark face and a murderous look, carrying fifty steps.

"Surround the Duke of Qi's mansion to this old man!"

Zhang Liang waved his palm and shouted, "Not even a single fly is allowed to fly out!"

Chapter 195 Let's work together to eradicate Zhang Dun's serious trouble

"promise!"

Accompanied by a sound of promise, Fifty Steps instantly drew Tang Hengdao from his waist and surrounded the entire courtyard.

Changsun Chong's face turned pale, and the old butler of the mansion standing next to him was trembling with fright.

Changsun Wuji didn't stand at all, stared at Zhang Liang, and said coldly: "What are you doing, you want the old man's head?"

As he spoke, Changsun Wuji walked up to Zhang Liang with a straight face, put his head in front of him, and said, "Come on, the head is here, take it!"

"If you take the old man's head, you will die too!"

"The old man's younger sister is the current empress!"

"You have the ability, why don't you try to chop off the old man's head with a knife?"

"My surname is Zhang, the old man is dead, you see if your family will be buried with you!"

The corners of Zhang Liang's eyes twitched a few times, originally wanting to scare Changsun Wuji.

I didn't expect this old boy to be more arrogant than Zhang Dun!

The point is, he has the confidence to do it!

His younger sister is Wugou, the eldest grandson of the Empress Empress!

Zhang Liang took a deep breath, waved his palms, and asked the trilogy to put away the knives, and said through gritted teeth, "I, Zhang Liang, dare not want the head of the eldest grandson Shangshu."

Changsun Wuji opened his eyes wide, raised his palm and pointed at his nose, yelling: "Then why do you bring so many people? How dare you surround the old man's mansion, have you eaten the heart of a bear?"

"You are a county duke, dare to surround the duke's mansion, are you not afraid of the old man's participation?"

"Let them back down!"

Zhang Liang's facial muscles twitched, and the murderous aura just now disappeared in an instant.

"Go back."

Zhang Liang glanced at the first song, and said in a deep voice.

"No!" With a solemn look on the face of the first part, he clasped his fists in response, and led everyone back out.

In Qi Guogong's courtyard, Zhang Liang was the only outsider left.

Changsun Wuji turned his head to look at Changsun Chong and the old butler of the mansion, waved his hands and said: "You also step back, the old man has something to say to Mr. Zhang alone."

Chang Sun Chong nodded quickly, and headed towards the inner courtyard with the old butler of the mansion.

In the courtyard, only Changsun Wuji and Zhang Liang were left.

"There are no outsiders here, let's sit down and talk."

Changsun Wuji pointed to the stone bench with a stern face, and after both of them sat down, he glared at Zhang Liang and said, "Tell me, what is the reason for mobilizing people to come to find this old man?"

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Shangsun Shangshu, you have to give me an explanation."

"Now the method of redeeming copper, because of you, Changsun Shangshu, has become a reform but not abolishment!"

"My clumsy thorn committed a crime, and now I can't pay for it with copper. Do you want me to watch her head be chopped off?"

Changsun Wuji hummed, and said in a calm tone: "You come to the old man to ask for an explanation, and the old man will give you an explanation."

"It's not my idea to change the method of redemption for copper."

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "I know, Zhang Dun."

Changsun Wuji's expression eased, this old boy still has a bit of eyesight.

Zhang Liang continued: "You have a teacher-student friendship with him, so you will naturally help him with ideas!"

"Zhang Dun heard the method of redeeming copper from you, and used it for his own use. As long as the eldest grandson Shangshu doesn't say anything, everyone will think it's Zhang Dun's idea!"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but widen his eyes, stared at him and said, "Stop it, old man!"

Zhang Liang snorted coldly, "Could it be that I'm not telling the truth?"

"Truth ass!"

Changsun Wuji scolded: "You never said a word to the point!"

"I'm telling you, it's not the old man's idea to change the copper redemption law, it's His Majesty's idea!"

"What did you say?!" Zhang Liang suddenly stood up and looked at him in disbelief.

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"

Changsun Wuji pressed the palm of his hand to let him sit down first, and then continued: "Your Majesty came to the old man's mansion today and gave me a memorial."

"His Majesty personally told the old man that he would take the old man into the palace and ask the old man to hand over the memorial in front of the nine princes."

"What's in the memorial, I don't know in advance!"

Changsun Wuji sighed, "Let's put it more clearly, even the old man is also the one to blame!"

Zhang Liang frowned tightly, stared at him and said, "Shangsun Shangshu, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? I'll believe whatever you say."

"How do I know, are you the one who did the thing, and then dumped the blame on His Majesty?"

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "You are covered with lard? Is it good for me to throw the blame on His Majesty?"

"Also, have you seen the old man's injuries?"

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "It's the nine princes who beat it!"

"If His Majesty hadn't asked the old man to do it, the old man would be full to provoke the nine dukes?"

"Is the old man so blind?"

Changsun Wuji became more and more angry as he talked, he kept patting the stone table with his palms, and said angrily: "Isn't it good for me to watch the fire from the other side? Do I have to end up meddling in your affairs? And get beaten in the end? You think I have What good!"

"Also, the shitty teacher-student friendship!"

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, and said coldly, "Do you know Princess Changle who has returned to the palace? Back then, my son Changsun Chong already had a marriage contract with Princess Changle."

"Seeing that the engagement is approaching, Princess Changle escaped from marriage. In Chang'an City, she found an ordinary citizen. After returning to the palace, she even threatened to marry him!"

"And this person is Zhang Dun!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang hissed and looked at him in surprise, "Zhang Dun robbed your daughter-in-law?"

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the matter hasn't spread yet, but the old man can't hold it back for long."

"Tell me, it's too late for the old man to hate Zhang Dun. How could he help him?"

"The teacher-student friendship you mentioned is even more bullshit, it's a non-existent thing!"

Changsun Wuji tapped his fingers on the table, and said word by word: "The reason why I asked His Majesty for the position of Zhigong Ju, as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, is to prevent Zhang Dun from entering the court as an official!"

"It's just that things didn't go as planned. The old man was also placed in the middle of it. He couldn't deal with Zhang Dun. His colleagues thought that the old man had a teacher-student relationship with Zhang Dun, so he was beaten up. Where do you think the old man is going? ! "

Zhang Liang was silent for a few seconds, looking at the distressed Changsun Wuji, his expression gradually became solemn, and he clasped his fists and said, "Shangsun Shangshu, I misunderstood you."

"Then you can show me the way, what should I do to get rid of the hatred in my heart?"

Changsun Wuji looked Zhang Liang up and down, and seeing that he really believed his words, he said just now: "You want to get rid of him, and the old man also wants to get rid of him, as long as you and I are of the same mind, we can deal with a five-rank ten thousand year decree. Isn't it easy to grab?"

"There is one thing that can be used right now, and if it is used well, Zhang Dun's troubles will be cured!"

He lowered his voice and whispered in Zhang Liang's ear, "Do you know about our court's lack of money?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang frowned, "Didn't Your Majesty get millions of guan from Wuxing Qiwang? With so much money, what money is the court still short of?"

"It's different! The old man said something else!"

Changsun Wuji looked serious, and said: "What the old man said is that civil and military officials owe money to the court!"

Chapter 196 Tang Jian's Advice, Don't Think This Matter Is Over

Hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded slightly. He had heard about it.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, all kinds of wastes were waiting for prosperity.

Civil and military officials also tightened their belts to live.

Some people can't make ends meet, so they ask the household department to borrow money.

In the beginning, only one or two ministers borrowed money, and then more and more people came.

Even he, Zhang Liang, borrowed eight thousand coins from the imperial court.

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said with a faint smile, "From the first year of Wude to the ninth year of Wude, in nine years, the civil and military officials borrowed a total of 800 million guan from the Ministry of Households!"
