Chapter 105 Thin body
Li Xian reacted so slowly that he could react at this time.
The matter was definitely not what Wei said. He had been standing on the third floor of Zhenguan Hall to watch, and even asked the eunuch to bring a telescope. This technique is very simple, and the medicine jade newly sold by the Wang family in Taiyuan is very clear and transparent. Although in the night, his vision is much better than before. I can see the approximate situation vaguely.
Wang Hua and Wang Painter's powerful concubine, this is not going crazy, to be precise, this seems to be in a desperate situation.
Moreover, the chaos in the city tonight and the fire in the two warehouses broke out at the same time after the wars in Tao Guangyuan were born. Is this normal? Can this be an accident?
He asked Wei, "Queen, what's going on?"
The voice is different from the past and is very harsh.
Wei also knew that things would be big tonight. If Wang Hua was shot to death, then nothing would happen. Even if her husband and daughter were angry, the person was dead, and life would have to be taken care of. Except for Wang Hua, there were no other characters in the Wang family to seek justice. This matter would be left unresolved. But Wang Hua escaped from the palace, and the possibility of killing him again this time was less than half. When Wang Hua escaped, he couldn't even calm down.
In fact, this idea is wrong. If Wang Hua dies, the consequences will be even more serious. Mu Zi and Li are ambitious. Although Li Xuejun is pure and has few desires, Wang Hua is the support in her heart. In addition to Li Guer, Wang Hua also has another son of Mu Zi and Li, which means that Wang Hua has successors.
The soldiers of the Blood-Chief Camp were also unwilling to give up. Now the Wang family wants money and people, and Mu Zili himself controls millions of people. The consequence is very bad, very bad. If the Tang royal family can survive, they can only leave the last bit of vitality. And Mu Zili and others can't beat it, and they can retreat to Oceania. In the future, they will use the Wei family to spread the king's paintings in Taoguangyuan. Then Mu Zili will likely use the people to spread the Tang Dynasty. She is not as good as the king's paintings, and there are Turks and Tubos eyeing them.
But Wei's mind was very fast, and she immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I'll ask you, do you know where the food Wang Hua got from?"
Li Xian was stunned for a moment. Didn’t Wang Hua’s grain come from a distant foreign country through goods traded in the Central Plains?
"You must think he bought it, really? This is what he grows from overseas vassals. Your Majesty, do you know how many overseas vassals he has?"
"Planted?" Li Xian was even more stunned. This was not a few thousand kilograms of grain, nor tens of millions of grain. The unit was stone. How many people should plant it? He was not Wang Hua, Wei Shi, and Li Dan. He asked whatever he wanted: "How many servants?"
"More than two million."
Li Xian was shocked.
How big is a Lingnan Road? It includes nearly 70 states in Guangzhou, Guizhou, Jiaozhou, and only more than two million people.
This is not the main thing. Although there are more than two million people, it cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty. Even the population of Tubo and Turks cannot keep up. The main reason is Wang Hua's growth. How old is Wang Hua this year? Not only that, Wang Hua is either in the court, in Qinzhou, or in battle, and has never been overseas. If this news is correct, then it was only a few years before Wang Hua started to operate when he built a ship in Pengli Lake, Raozhou.
Li Xian thought it was not far from the facts, and it was not difficult to analyze. But this amazing number made him neglect a little. Do you really planted it by Wang Hua?
More than two million is the number this year, which has developed from nothing to something. In the past, the number of people was even smaller. But as Li Xian thought, it was not a unit of kilograms, and so many people had to open their mouths to eat. Although there were many people, more land, and it was primitive and fertile land. But now it is primitive farming, and there was not even plowing oxen at the beginning. A person's labor was limited, otherwise he would put a person in the American continent and give him unlimited fields, so that he could hand over 100,000 kilograms of grain a year, so that he could not grow it even if he was exhausted.
It can only be said that it is because the land is abundant and fertile, and the per capita income is more than that of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, a large share of it was from the authentic transaction of Wang Hua. Even the fleets of each family met Wang Hua's ships transporting grain from Tianzhu on the sea. The Wei family also tried it, but they might lose money, so they had to give up.
In fact, Wang Hua really lost money after pressing the price of grain to twenty cents per bucket of rice. Although he earned the difference by bartering goods, the ship was still his own and the workers were his own. The ship's tonnage increased and the cost was saved, but it was barely equal. If the above factors were included, not only would it be a loss, but it would still be a big loss.
If you are picky on this, it will really be a slander of conscience. Wang Hua is really doing practical things for the country and the people.
But can Wei have the word conscience in his heart?
"Your Majesty, don't doubt it. This is all admitted by Wang Hua personally. Not only that, the medicine jade of the Wang family in Taiyuan and the cement of the Eighteen families were all produced by Wang Hua overseas. The Mayan country is a deceptive lie. In addition to fireworks and firecrackers, just these things, how much wealth will be taken away in our Tang Dynasty in a year?"
So you can say this when you are in a flash, and you can say that when you are in the opposite direction.
It was just that without Wang Hua, how much wealth did Dashi merchants swept away from the Tang Dynasty in a year. But how much wealth did the Tang Dynasty bring from Dashi? This itself was a transaction process. Moreover, Wang Hua used many of the benefits on the Tang Dynasty. If it were not for Wei's forced Wang Hua to "awaken", it would be possible that all this money would be poured on the people of the Tang Dynasty. This would make the Tang Dynasty stronger. Moreover, Wei would not say the simplest thing, mixed grains.
"Your Majesty, not only that, the new steel was also developed by Wang Hua, and it is possible to prepare a weapon that is more powerful than explosives. This was also said by Wang Hua himself. But did he hand it over to the court? So I advised him to hand it over tonight, but he distorted it and changed his color and finally turned it out of the palace. Your Majesty, what if you were to do?"
First, use a big hat to crush Wang Hua to death.
But Li Xian is not a fool.
Not only is it not a fool, Li Xian had outstanding qualifications when he was young. Some people say that Wu Zetian's four sons were all unhappy. No, Wang Hua cursed these people in his previous life and continued to curse these people in this life. Wu Zetian's eldest son Li Hong was kind-hearted. For example, if a soldier who was in the Liao Dynasty had escaped or did not report within the deadline, he would not only beheaded after finding him, but his family would also be appointed as an official. Li Hong advised: "If a soldier was overdue due to illness, or if he unfortunately drowned in the middle of the road.
When death, the military law not only does not think that they were killed in battle, but they will have to sit in the same position as the team and his family. For the law, it is called escape. In fact, if the soldiers really die, even their families will be buried with them. However, many of them have the factors behind them that deserve sympathy. "Zuo Zhuan" says: "It is better to lose money than killing innocent people." I hope that the law can be revised. If there are soldiers who fled at home in the future, they will no longer be punished for being held in the same position." Emperor Gaozong also agreed to this request.
Such things happened many times in his short life. If this person was in power, it might be the second Emperor Renzong of Song. Although it might not work in martial arts, the Tang Dynasty would definitely have great governance.
Let’s talk about the second son Li Xian. That is a copy of Li Shimin’s awesome son Li Tai. I can’t remember everything after reading, like my memory, it is no less than that of Wang Hua. I have outstanding literary talent and amnesty with scholars for the Book of the Later Han, and the commentary of the Book of the Later Han, which is recognized by the world as the most authoritative. Otherwise, Shangguan Xiaowan would like him?
Li Xian was also decisive in his youth. In comparison, his fourth son Li Dan was inferior to his youth.
Unfortunately, they met a mother who was more capable, more decisive and cruel, and fell down one by one.
Then, the brother-in-law died, the son died, the brother died, the uncle and uncle died, the cousin died, the cousin died, the wife and concubine died, and even the concubine's family members died. Li Xian was scared, and Li Dan was also scared. However, after the two were afraid, their personalities also changed. Li Dan became more smooth and gloomy, and had the foundation for great achievements. But his personality made Lao Wu's grinding less Congo. This was also the reason why after Li Dan ascended the throne in history, he saw Li Longji and Princess Taiping, the hero Niu, who saw Li Longji and Princess Taiping, not getting angry, but just blended blindly. In the end, he let the two fight and finally took the initiative to give the throne to Li Longji. But in general, as an emperor, Li Dan was more in line with his personality than Li Xian.
Li Xian is just becoming timid and afraid of things now. Why should he be the Emperor of Peace? He is afraid of any storm.
Therefore, although a person's qualifications and personality are naturally determined by part, the acquired growth process is also very important. Children educated by a relaxed and lively family are mostly lively and cheerful, while children educated by a strict family are mostly introverted. For example, Wang Hua, when he debuted, he said that he was a romantic in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which is really reasonable.
But now? He has not become a real villain. However, he still misses the nation and the people in his heart. It is like a full moon. No matter how dark the night is, he cannot erase the light in his heart. Why is such a consequence? It is precisely because of the strange struggles in recent years that his personality has changed.
Li Xian's personality is weak and can be bullied, but he is not really Emperor Hui of Jin.
After the incident in Yizhou, he clearly saw the greed of his wife's family. Wang Hua had a small move behind him, and Li Xian had long known that if he put it on others, he would kill nine clans and three clans. But Wang Hua could not calculate this way. For example, even if the grain was planted by Wang Hua, so what? Wang Hua didn't want a penny and let the court pull it. God knows that in the corner overseas, the freight cost more than twenty cents per bucket of rice.
Putting aside the achievements of the past, Wang Hua gave his wife two million yuan in money and his daughter more than three million yuan in money. This is based on money. I won’t mention the battle between grain prices and money. Then when I came to Qinzhou, I built roads, built Qinzhou, resettled refugees, and distributed large amounts, all of which totaled more than 10 million yuan in money. How much tax was there in the Tang Dynasty in a year?
This money was earned by Wang Hua in private, but the money earned was still used on the country, and his wife and daughter had "pocket money".
But it is true that it is not Wang Hua's selfish intention. His porcelain kilns are not as profitable as the Wei family, and the fleet is half-divided, so the Wei family is honest. But when Li Hong heard the dock in front, he would reach out. The firecrackers appeared in front, and the back was stretched out. These industries were originally obtained by Wang Hua's amazing wisdom. In his hands, he could continue to subsidize the country and the people, and his status could be stable. But can he make a dime in the hands of the Wei family?
He even vaguely felt that Zong Chuke's affairs were promoted by his wife and the Wei family, which was not successful in seizing Wang Hua's property, so he wanted to kill Wang Hua. This included tonight, not what his wife said, but his wife was trying to do something wrong.
This is like forcing Wang Hua to rebel against Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of this, a burst of anger arose in his heart, but he did not turn back. If he had reacted at the beginning and stopped this matter in time, it would be better to at least warm Wang Hua's heart. But now? And he also felt that the chaos in the city and the fire in the two warehouses were arranged by Wang Hua to save himself.
By this time, Wang Hua could no longer take back his heart.
He said tiredly, "You can arrange this matter."
The clouds faded a few more times, and kept flowing and running in the cold night wind, as if it was causing a curved moon to run.
At the end of the first lunar month, Luoyang is not yet blooming when spring is warm, and it is still a little cold at night, and the moonlight has a sad smell.
The cold moonlight sprinkled, there was frost on the ground and ice beside the canal, and there was a faint murderous intent rising from the four fields.
The king drew a war horse because he saw that the Xuanren Gate, the only city gate in the east of Dongcheng, had been opened, and many cavalrymen came out of Dongcheng.
Therefore, Wang Hua beat the war horses and four people galloped eastward. But now Luoyang is like boiling water, and it is messy. The streets are full of chaotic people. In fact, the Chengfufang and Yujifang line where Wang Hua walked, the chaos is even better. The three cities of Luoyang are the real goals of the people. The second is the street that is more than seven miles long, from Tianjin Bridge in the north to Dingdingmen in the south. Luoyang people called Tianjie, and they were all paved with yellow sand. When the five kings left the capital, Wang Hua also sent them to see each other. It was the second place to be damaged. Then there was the south bank of the Luoshui River, from Huixunfang to Yanqingfang, which was also the place where the nobles of Luoyang lived the most. Wang Painter's new house was also in this line. This was the third place to be damaged. However, Tongyuanfang, the northernmost city, was the place where Wang Painter's first house, and the remote poor people living in Lirenfang in the south of the city, were not damaged.
But because Wang Hua walked the line, there were also many officials and nobles living in this line, such as the mansion of Xiangwang, who was located in this area. Although it was not the center of chaos, there were many people on the street.
Wang Hua was anxious, but seeing the current situation, he felt a little guilty and could not bear to rush on his horse. As long as he ran, he would inevitably step on the innocent people. But the pursuers ignored these. Wei's orders were very strict, and hundreds of cavalry rushed over. Just by the momentum, the people would make way out of the distance.
Although Wang Hua was separated by a yard of houses, he knew with his intuition that the pursuers were getting closer and closer. However, Wang Huazhi was not here, and he had no intention of rushing out of the city gate. Originally, the city gate was closed as soon as Luoyang arrived, and the chaos in Luoyang tonight would not be opened even if it was not for him.
He still planned to use the help of Shui Xun to escape from Luoshui.
There is no problem with King Hua. He grew up by the water in his previous life and was not far from Zhihe in this life, so he often swims. However, Li Xuejun and Gongsun Auntie were a little inferior. In order to prepare for escape, Wang Hua specially built an extra-large pool at home, with a depth of more than three meters. However, in order to keep it confidential, the pool was in the room, and then warm water was placed inside to train Gongsun Auntie and Li Xuejun. This was a temporary cram, but fortunately, the two of them had outstanding martial arts and quick minds, and their swimming skills have also increased in the past few days.
And the night before yesterday, he took them and a few guards, and with the help of his own ship, he quietly came to the practical training at the sluice gate. He was extremely familiar with this sluice king painting, and it was not impossible to be pulled to death. Therefore, even if he left the water, he had to reach the Luodi side of Wenluofang or Yanqingfang, which were next to the sluice gate. When they jumped into the water, the soldiers guarding the sluice gate were too late to pull the sluice gate. But they could not be too far from the sluice gate. After all, it was not diving quietly now, and it was possible that they would be in full view of the public. They just did not close the sluice gate. This was to be ventilated in the water. There were arrows on both sides of the sluice, and the arrows could not be shot under the water surface?
So after turning to Yujifang and heading south immediately. Of course, no one knew their target, and he thought they wanted to escape south from Huitong Bridge. When they arrived on Luodi, the road was wide and the speed was faster. There was only one Yulinfang between Tongtufang and Wenluofang, which was only two miles away. At the current speed, it can be said that it was a blink of an eye.
But at this time, two small accidents occurred.
Tonight, no minister laughed. Ministers with bad character were basically in trouble tonight, and some houses were burned out. All the ministers of Qingliu were exposed to the aftermath. Now people are snatching each other. Not every common person has a conscience. Even the painter Wang, who has the best impression of the people, has suffered aftermath. Besides, other ministers are safe. After that night, the Tang Dynasty said it was too heavy. Luoyang can be said to be a devastating destruction, and they are worried in their hearts.
But the most urgent thing is not Wei. Wang Hua escaped, which can be said to be unable to sleep or eat in the future. But in the peaceful and prosperous era, it is not easy for Wang Hua to rebel. It is really impossible. There is also the versatile card Li Guer who can play. Therefore, the most urgent thing is Zong Chuke.
As long as Wang Hua escaped, Zong Chuke could imagine what fate he would have in the future. He probably wouldn't be able to die well. So he used his power and immediately ordered martial law throughout the city, then dispatched the army to guard several bridges on the Luoshui River, and brought a thousand soldiers to try to pass through Huitong Bridge and join the imperial guards in the palace to the west, and block Wang Hua in a net-like siege.
He happened to see Wang Hua come out of the Yujifang and turn to the Tongtufang. He immediately ordered that all the soldiers immediately rushed across the Huitong Bridge and stopped Wang Hua and the four of them.
At this time, there was another accident. Wu Chongning was too young after all. After running around, he returned home blankly. He was scolded by Princess Taiping who had just rushed back home. But Princess Taiping was in the wrong, and she took the initiative to push her daughter into Wang Hua's arms.
But Li Chiying is now growing up and sensible. She came to the palace in a daze and actually met refugees who were ill-minded about her. However, more people know Li Chiying because she has a good impression of Wang Hua. The story between Li Chiying and Wang Hua is almost well-known to the people, and they all have sympathy for her tragic ending, so they are rescued.
This even touched Li Chiying's longing.
When she arrived in front of Xuanren's gate, Li Xuejun and the others used the rope to scratch the hook. What could Li Chiying use? Even if there was a scratch hook, she didn't have the ability to throw it onto the city wall. Not only she, but also ordinary people did not have the strength or skills.
After standing for a while, he walked back in a daze. Instead of walking back to the Xiangwang Mansion, he walked towards Wang Hua's house without realizing it and happened to come to Huitong Bridge. Zong Chuke did not pay attention to it before he could shout, but when he turned around, Wang Hua actually broke out of the palace. Li Chiying was overjoyed. At that moment, she felt so happy that she was almost dizzy.
It is precisely because of her feelings that she is extremely obsessed. Otherwise, Li Longji would smash Wang Hua's shop? Others would smash it, but Li Longji wouldn't smash it. He is not an ordinary person. This is because of pity for his sister's infatuation, which makes him feel extremely resentful.
But she didn't know Wang Hua's plan, so she saw Zong Chuke's army coming, so she opened her thin arms and tried to stop a whole thousand troops.
This is a childish move. How wide will the bridge be? Even the three or five Li Chiying can't stop it. But this thousand troops really made her stop it.
Originally, she didn't look very healthy and broke with Wang Hua. The little girl was more thoughtful and was like a small bamboo pole. If a horse just touched it gently, the result could be imagined.
Although the King of Xiang is suppressed by Wei, he is the King of Xiang after all. What is Zong Chuke? It’s very popular, but as Wang Hua said, it’s just a rootless duckweed. Can he say bad things about Princess Taiping behind his back, but Princess Taiping sent his subordinates to his house to beat someone. Do he dare to send someone to Princess Taiping’s house to beat someone? Wang Hua dares to smash his house to pieces. Do he dare to send someone to Wang Hua’s house to smash things? If Wei wasn’t Wang Hua’s intention to kill Wang Hua tonight, would he dare to lead troops to snipe Wang Hua?
So I dare not hurt Li Chiying.
Just by stopping, the bridge would almost roll over because of this sudden brake. However, Zong Chuke still knew the severity of the matter. He stopped for a while and saw Wang Hua and the others running towards Yulinfang. He was a little anxious. He winked. Can you, Li Chiying, block one meter, or five meter eight meters? Since the army he brought over, at least the general was his trusted lackey, he immediately understood and ordered the soldiers to rush over from both sides. If we don’t touch you, can you let you do it?
When Li Chiying saw this, he became even more anxious. Wang Hua and the others left not far away. When they rushed up, they were only the pitiful four people, especially with the reflection of a thousand people, and they were particularly eye-catching. So they ran to the side again, holding a war horse about to gallop.
But the war horse was already running, and Li Chiying's pitiful body was like a scarecrow hit by a Hummer, and it rushed to the ground lightly.
Aunt Gongsun pulled Wang Hua. If it weren't for this, Wang Hua could have driven his horse back. But at this moment, his eyes were wet.
He gritted his teeth and patted the horse's back, and didn't even look at it again, running quickly. Zong Chuke could not catch up, and Li Chiying's obstacles made him unable to catch up. When Zong Chuke came to Wenluofang, Wang Hua and the other four had already waded on the thin ice and sneaked into the Luoshui.
Zong Chuke climbed the city from the wall of the wall, and Wang Hua had already walked out of the city along the Luoshui River. However, after this time, the Luoshui gate was repaired again.
Maybe Wang Hua lacks an army now, but is it still lacking manpower? He had already prepared ten war horses outside the city. Anyway, the more the more, the better. Two supporters led the horses over. They even prepared a few robes to warm their bodies. It was obviously too late to change clothes, but having a robe on her body was better than wet clothes that made the cold wind blow.
Wang Hua turned around and looked at the city, and happened to see Zong Chuke. He shouted: "Kill!"
He didn't say anything to kill, but Zong Chuke seemed to see a sharp knife slashing at him.
But Wang Hua did not take Zong Chuke seriously, and he always looked down upon Zong Chuke Wang Hua. As the power expanded, this contempt included more people, Li Xian, Li Dan, and Princess Taiping. The original appointment was Li Guer's marriage, but now it was equivalent to failure. It can be said that he had a broader sky.
After drinking, he turned his head to look at Gongsun’s aunt regardless of Zong Chuke’s reaction, and he had the heart to say a joke: “Grandsun, you are following me, just like Muzili and the others, and you are lawless.”
Aunt Gongsun pinched the sword in her hand, her eyes were wet, and she finally escaped. And Wang Hua said a sentence from Grand Gongsun to make her heart warm, and she shouted: "I do."
But Wang Hua turned around and looked at the tall city walls of Luoyang. I wonder if the thin figure was injured?
Then, with a stern horse, six men and ten horses disappeared into the vast darkness.
Chapter completed!
