Reward for merit

The Zheng family leader stood in front of the prison door and suddenly realized something.

This little guy I had never met was not a person in the court. Although he was a baron, he was not very enthusiastic about power. His business was not very entangled with the business that the aristocratic family had long occupied. It was not an exaggeration to say that he, the aristocratic family, and the imperial court were people from two worlds.

In other words, this trip to the Ministry of Justice's prison was not a peace talk, but a simple begging for mercy.

Who would have thought that as the prosperous era of Zhenguan approached, a family had already stepped into crisis with one foot.

The more chaotic aristocratic families have, the more powerful they have. In every chaotic time, they will be ruthlessly suppressed by those in power.

But the aristocratic families also long for peace.

Children in the clan also have ambitions and want to find a platform to show what they have learned in their hearts.

The elderly in the clan also hope that the years will be peaceful and peaceful, and that they can have a good old age.

Maybe this is the meaning of this trip.

Li Shimin is confident in attacking the aristocratic family. As long as the world is not in chaos, the aristocratic family will be his belongings. This time it is a warning, which will make the aristocratic family till the dilemma. If the aristocratic family is like before, it may be a disaster of scouting the family and extermination.

The head of the Zheng family, who figured out these, did not make a noise again, but stood up silently and looked at the prison of the Ministry of Justice, with his eyes gradually becoming firm.

In the winter in Chang'an, snowflakes floated again.

The old man seemed to have a thick layer of cotton wool in a short while, but the old man did not retreat.

His body was old, but it seemed to contain infinite power, like a burning flame, revealing his existence to the whole world.

In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Luo Yunsheng looked at the floating snowflakes and realized something. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Why is this necessary?"

Brother Xiao, please invite the master of your hometown in.”

Luo Yunsheng was not as arrogant as before. Seeing the old man's cheeks flushed and his eyes were firm, he stood up and bowed, "Luo Yunsheng, Jingyang, I have seen the elder."

"I can't be the county man, but I have met Zheng Qian, Xingyang, and I have met the county man."

As he said that, Zheng Qianyi did not talk about his identity and bowed to Luo Yunsheng.

Luo Yunsheng in the prison flashed slightly and avoided Zheng Qianyi and bowed.

A light flashed in Zheng Qianyi's eyes. This young man who was not as arrogant and arrogant as soon as he gained power, it seemed that today's events and some talks were filled with joy.

"Old sir, your Zheng family is the Dragon Family. In the past, Zheng Rentai made great contributions to Your Majesty at Xuanwu Gate. I am also the trusted Zhongshu Shesan, the Zheng family, whom you are not short of any noble and glorious Zheng family. Why do you have to be a lobbyist for the aristocratic family?"

Luo Yunsheng didn't understand the truth.

"Young Master Xiao, I want to talk to the county man alone, you can go out first."

Zheng Qianyi did not respond directly to Luo Yunsheng, but wanted to help Xiao Xiaoyue.

"Old Zheng, you are killing the donkey. I will beat your juniors in the future."

Xiao Xiaoyue didn't care and smiled at Luo Yunsheng and said, "Yunsheng, I'll go first."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and closed the outer door of the Ministry of Justice Prison.

"Luo County man, to be honest, it is not because the Zheng family is willing to be a lobbyist for the aristocratic family, but after the Zheng family was enthroned by King Xuan, although they have experienced many twists and turns, the family has become a great cause and a family spread all over the world. They are also the first-class aristocratic family. This time, your Majesty will not only hurt other aristocratic families, but also the Zheng family will not suffer small losses.

Besides, the aristocratic families are in common, so our Zheng family also wants to advance and retreat with other aristocratic families."

"You should know that during this incident, I was squatting in the prison in the city. I just heard about yesterday. What's the point of you, Mr., come to see me?"

Luo Yunsheng said as he signaled Pei Mingli to bring a chair to the old man.

"Luo County man, although the aristocratic family has enjoyed peace for several years and some things have become a little slow, the aristocratic family is not stupid. Whether you are involved or not, our aristocratic family knows very well and does not need any evidence.

This trip shows an attitude that the aristocratic families are willing to bow their heads. After all, the aristocratic families want to live, and the people of the world want to live. We also want this peaceful years, but one-size-fits-all things hurt us, and the aristocratic families will not agree no matter what."

"The saint gave you enough time at the beginning. If you are not sure, what's the use of you looking for me at this time?

Besides, even if you bow your head, you should look for the saints and look for me as a slight person. What should I do?"

Luo Yunsheng didn't want to have too much involvement with the aristocratic families, because Luo Yunsheng knew in his heart that even if Li Shimin suppressed the aristocratic families, some aristocratic families also had close ties with the Li family. It would not be possible to not suppress them, and it would not be possible to suppress them too much. It was difficult to grasp this degree.

And to hit the aristocratic family, that is what Li Shimin wants to do, and there is no need for him to participate further.

"Luo Yunsheng, you think of the problem too simply. In such a huge family, so many people need to support it. It's like a giant ship sailing on the Ba River. Many times, it's just a matter of indomitable progress, and it's too difficult to turn around.

What is the time your Majesty gave you enough to do?”

Luo Yunsheng shook his head, "You know what you said, but old man, it's no longer a matter of Your Majesty's time, but the people of the world don't give you time.

You are not just as simple as opposing Your Majesty, but you are opposing the people of the world. In the face of this general trend, it is best for aristocratic families to choose to take a step back and give the people a way to survive. In the end, the losses of your family are nothing more than a few mountains."

Luo Yunsheng was not aggressive, but told Zheng Qianyi about the situation.

"I naturally understand that the loss is not as simple as you said. This year, Guanzhong lacks charcoal, and the aristocratic family has invested not many mountains, but countless real money and silver. You must know that logging, transporting, and burning charcoal all require a lot of manpower and material resources. If the aristocratic family lies down this time, I don't know how many children from the court will be affected, and I don't know how many children from the tribe who make a living by this will not even be able to eat.

If the aristocratic family is in chaos, can Your Majesty still sit in the Ganlu Hall? Do you think your coal can still be unobstructed?"

Zheng Qianyi found that Luo Yunsheng was not very difficult to speak, nor did he mean to threaten, but seriously explained the problem and said it to Luo Yunsheng.

"What you are talking about is your own reason. What the saints have to see is just the result. How much trouble did you cause this time?

In the years of famine, as a noble family, I don’t ask you to give you porridge to save the people, at least sell charcoal cheaper, right?

If you cut off the people’s flesh, isn’t this forcing the people to rebel?

You are wrong first, what's the point of finding someone to explain it now?"

"Do you think it was the world before?

Don’t forget that the people in the world govern the country in a stable and moderate manner, and the lives of the people are becoming more and more stable. Under the imperial examinations, poor families will sooner or later rise. Your aristocratic family still holds the same old concept, and it is definitely a way to die. Even if you overcome this difficulty, who will you look for next time?

Old gentleman, the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful, and the world is peaceful, your thinking will also change.

You help the saints maintain the operation of the country and improve people's livelihood. How will His Majesty make things difficult for you?

What reason are there to make things difficult for you?

Think about it, why did Your Majesty entertain you last time the sheep-cutting banquet?

Isn’t it because you have made some contributions to the Tang Dynasty?

Your Majesty remembers your kindness and does good deeds to you, but you do not treat you as weak.

It is a way to seek death if you blindly pursue your own interests, fight against Your Majesty and the people."

"I understand what you said, but what should I do now?

Even if some aristocratic families are willing to give in, some are already in a difficult situation.

For the sake of this snow disaster, some families even borrowed a lot of money. If the charcoal cannot be sold, they will lose all their money and sell their houses and land. This will destroy their family."

Zheng Gan asked Luo Yunsheng for a while.

"That's what your aristocratic family is considering. I am from a poor family, can I take care of it?

You should consider yourself. As long as you support Your Majesty in promoting coal stone and helping the people through the disaster year, can Your Majesty forget your kindness?

In addition, you can't participate in the coal stone business. I have said before that you can give you a batch of coal stones at a lower price for you to sell.

In this way, some losses can be recovered, and the other hand, it can also help His Majesty solve the urgent problem.

This is also considered reform, isn't it?

To be honest, although the Tang Dynasty is currently suffering from severe snow disasters in Guanzhong and has many border problems, it really makes you rebel. Do you dare?

Your reputation is so bad now, who is willing to follow you?"

Luo Yunsheng continued, Zheng Ganyi listened very seriously.

Although this young man met him for the first time, in his opinion, he was a very good young man.

No matter what the ending this time, Zheng Ganyi has made up his mind and must make friends with him well in the future.

Because these words really inspired him a lot.

To be honest, this is indeed a kindness.

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, I have said everything I should say. You can do it yourself. If you still ignore the lives and death of the people for your own interests, Your Majesty will definitely find a way to kill you, or even put it into force."

Luo Yunsheng said to Zheng Ganyi very seriously.

Zheng Ganyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said, "This time, we did see the situation wrong."

"Okay, come back, I've said everything I should say. I know that aristocratic family has accumulated for thousands of years and there must be a reason for existence, so I said a few more words to you. If it's unpleasant, you don't have to take it to heart."

At this moment, on the side of Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were holding a cake and wearing it with iron tongs, and baking it seriously on the unscrupulous coal stove.

Zhang Duo asked about the faint fragrance coming from the baking pancakes, and couldn't help but sniff, but he had to report his work honestly.

"The people built ice walls in front of the doors of aristocratic families, and still kept crotons?

All this is done by the people?”

Li Shimin asked in shock when he heard this.

"It was spontaneous for the people. They hated the aristocratic family to cut off their life. This time, I was afraid it was just a warning, and the next thing was not the ice wall."

Zhang Duo said.

"Wei Zheng, did you see it when you came to the palace today?"
