My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 220: salt smuggler

??Sun Simiao said goodbye, turned around and went back to the library of the medical school to search for information.

??Empress Changsun saw Li Min frowning and said: "Min'er, don't worry, your father and I know it well, it's God's favor if you can be cured, and you won't be blamed if you can't be cured."

??Li Yin was once again impressed by Empress Changsun's reasonableness, and said: "My mother's words make my son feel ashamed, but mother, don't worry, my son will try every means."

?? Laughed lightly, Empress Changsun suddenly coughed heavily, Li Yin said at this time: "Mother, after a long journey, will rest in the medical center first, and my son will not bother you."

??Empress Changsun was also a little tired and wanted to rest, so she said, "Then I'll go back first. I have so many people to take care of me, so you don't have to worry."

Li Yin said that he left the hospital, and Qin Huaiyu and his party were still waiting for him below, "Go back to the palace!" Li Yin gave the order. After walking for a month, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he finally understood why the population flow in ancient times was so small. Too much time wasted on the road.

When the group arrived at the palace, Qin Huaiyu took the Zheng sisters to the house prepared for them. It's not a problem that they always live in the palace, and Qin Huaiyu and Zheng Binglan are now fighting fiercely, so Li Yin has to give them room to move around, right? .

"Butterfly!"

When the convoy arrived at the Shu Palace, Cui Yingying let out a happy cry, got out of the carriage and ran towards a black and white puppy at the door. This was the Papillon that Li Yin bought for her. The Papillon has grown from a dozen centimeters to about twenty centimeters, and its appearance is getting cuter and cuter. When going to Chang'an, Cui Yingying gave it to Jin Daqian to feed it, but today she was squatting at the door waiting for Cui Yingying.

??Jin Daqian was also at the door, with a happy expression on his face, and said: "Today, the old slave said that His Highness and the princess came back today, and it has been waiting at the door. It can be seen that it is still kissing the princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were two "barking" sounds in the yard, and then a white shadow rushed out. Li Yin was almost hit by this white shadow just as he got off the carriage, and then a wet tongue licked Li Yin's face. Come and lick, "Damn dog, why is it so strong!"

?? This Tibetan Mastiff is exactly the Snow Mastiff raised by Li Yin. The former little guy has now grown into a behemoth with a body length of one meter and a height of sixty centimeters. Especially the mane on the neck is thick and dense, wrapping around the neck, no less than the mane of a male lion.

??As soon as Xiaobai rushed out, the butterfly Cui Yingying was holding was barking non-stop. When Cui Yingying was away, it was often bullied by Xiaobai. Now that its master came back, it finally found a backer.

??Xiao Bai ignored Die Die's provocation at all, just snorted and rubbed against Li Yin's body. Very intimate.

??Li Yan touched Xiaobai Yuanyuan's head and smiled, "For you have a conscience, I didn't raise you in vain."

?? Cui Yingying gave Xiaobai a hard look, and went back to the south courtyard with the butterfly in her arms. She was still a little scared of Li Yin's dog. It was too scary to look at.

??Jin Daqian began to echo again, "The dog raised by His Highness must be different."

??Li Yin patted Jin Daqian on the shoulder, "This year has passed. You are good at flattering!"

??Jin Daqian followed behind Li Yin and laughed, "This old slave is telling the truth."

?? Just joking, the two walked towards the palace. Li Yin said: "When I went to Chang'an, there were no mistakes in Yizhou's government affairs?"

?? "There is nothing major, but Su Morer seems to have caught a group of private salt dealers, saying that he is waiting for His Highness to return."

?? "Illegal salt dealers? Do you have any background?" Su Mo'er, an ordinary salt dealer, was dealt with according to the laws of Yizhou. She still waited for Li Yin to come back to deal with them, so these private salt dealers must have some background.

??Jin Daqian hesitated for a while, and said cautiously, "Your Highness, don't be angry if this old servant tells you!"

??Li Yin glanced at Jin Daqian, feeling strange in his heart, and said: "Just say it!"|

?? "These people are from the Cui family!"

?? "What!" Li Yin stopped, "A member of the Cui family?"

After all, Cui Yingying is from the Cui family, and she is the mistress. Su Mo'er was a little surprised when this happened, but she always regarded Li Yin's interests as the highest, so she still arrested them. When Jin Daqian said this, she felt the same Some worried, "It is said that Cui Zhang went to Shang Guanyi to intercede, and this matter is probably right." Cui Zhang and Su Mo'er were not familiar, so he had to go to Shang Guanyi.

??Li Yin just lost his good mood when he returned to Yizhou. He asked, "Did the seven sons of the Cui family who are officials in Yizhou participate in this matter?"

?? "This old slave is not clear." Jin Daqian said.

??Li Yin said slowly: "I know, don't say anything about this for now." According to Li Yin's knowledge, Cui Shao would not do such a thing, so who is behind this?

??He returned to the bedroom, Cui Yingying was having fun with the butterfly at this time, Li Yin wanted to talk about it, but he didn't think it was too urgent, and he would wait for a few days to rest.

??Thinking of Empress Changsun and Li Yuan, Li Min called Jin Daqian again and asked him to send a chef to the medical school to prepare food for Empress Changsun and Li Yuan.

?? Now that Zhang San has opened a chef training class, the chefs of the palace must be the first to be trained, so there are more than a dozen chefs in the kitchen, which is more than enough for the palace to use now.

?? He also ordered Jin Daqian to thank the guests behind closed doors, and Li Yin rested in the palace for three full days before recovering from the fatigue of the long journey.

??On this day, Su Moer came over as soon as Li Yin woke up. Seeing that Cui Yingying was still sleeping, she winked at Li Yin. Li Yin understood, and followed her to the main hall.

?? We haven't seen each other for more than a month, Li Yin sees Su Mo'er and plays tricks on her. Su Mo'er opens Li Yin's tricking hand and says, "Your Highness, I have a business to seek you for."

??Li Yin put away his smirk and said, "What is it?"

?? "Your Highness, did you know about Cui's smuggling of private salt?" Su Morer looked into Li Yin's eyes when she said that.

??Li Yin has also rested these days, thinking that it is time to deal with some serious business, he said: "Jin Daqian told me, when did you arrest them?"

??Su Morer said: "On the night of Yuanzheng, they were also very good at picking the time? They picked a time when Marquis Wu was least vigilant."

?? Li Yin sneered when he heard the words, Yuanzheng's night was New Year's Eve, "Then did you investigate clearly?"

"Well, I just had some clues in the past two days. There seems to be something wrong inside the Cui family. The elders of the Cui family are very dissatisfied with Cui Shao, accusing him of betting the fate of the Cui family on His Highness. Those elders are all stubborn. People who are not transformed are very concerned about the family system, and although His Highness's current political reform is far away in Yizhou, it has already threatened their interests. They are afraid that His Highness will inherit the throne in the future, and now they are turning to support Li Chengqian. These private salt dealers are Among these veterans, four of the seven children of the Cui family were involved in this matter, and one of them worked in the Salt Industry Department of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. He used his position to smuggle out a shipment of private salt. A total of three thousand shi " Su Mo'er said in detail.

?? "Three thousand stones? It's enough to decapitate." Li Yin said lightly.

??Li Yan's words made Su More'er feel chills, showing hesitation, hesitant to speak.

??Li Yin caught a glimpse of Su Mo'er, and suddenly smiled, "Are you worried about the princess just like Jin Daqian?"

??Su Mo'er nodded: "After all, the princess is from the Cui family. If four children of the Cui family are executed...", she dared not continue.

??Li Yan sighed: "Mo'er, in your opinion, is there any room for reconciliation between me and the elite clan?"

"His Royal Highness established three major colleges. No distinction is made between high and low, and those who are able to be appointed are appointed. This is contrary to the custom recommended by the nobles and nobles. Moreover, His Highness will soon implement universal education in Bashu. This completely destroys the policy of the nobles and nobles occupying the court. Come on, the nobles in the north will be even more intolerable to His Highness." Su Morer analyzed based on the collected information and the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty.

?? Li Yin stood up and looked at the western sky. Said: "You are right. Almost everything this king is doing is against the nobles. They have not been wary of this king before. But after the establishment of the three major colleges and the end of the political reform in Yizhou, the nobles in the north There is a faint tendency to unite. Although they are still doing business with Yizhou on the surface, they have reached a consensus on the issue of the throne, that is, they will not let me inherit the throne. However, this king does not care about the throne. "

Su Mo'er's eyes fell on the corners of Li Yin's raised lips, and she suddenly pursed her lips into a smile, "Now that His Highness dominates one side, amassing the wealth of the world, and governing Bashu so prosperously, the places outside Bashu are relatively only It’s just a poor place, and it’s really not attractive.”

"Not only that, the reason why I chose Yizhou at the beginning is because there is no foundation of powerful and noble families here, and after the high-power lineage is dealt with, Yizhou has no force that can fight against the palace, and this year, Shangguan Under my instructions, Yi also gradually cleared up the local tyrants in Bashu, for example, Dou Xiande's family has now been converted into a commercial family." Li Yin was very satisfied with the situation in Yizhou, and said slowly, "And the northern clans are deeply rooted. Even if I inherit the throne, I'm afraid I'll have to start a war to end them, but that would be a river of blood. How long has the Tang Dynasty been stable? Instead of doing this, it's better to use a new Bashu to slowly influence the Tang Dynasty. Infiltrate with culture."

?? Seems to understand something, Su Mo'er said: "So His Highness is planning to use this incident this time to clear the Cui family's influence in Yizhou? To avoid the formation of a restless force, and finally have to use force to solve it."

"That's right, Yingying is the princess, but she should understand that marrying this king means that she has to think about her husband's family everywhere in the future, instead of thinking about the Cui family. I don't want to see a new powerful family in Yizhou. Take root and sprout, otherwise it will really harm her." Li Min said what he said from his heart, and now that the Cui family has not taken root in Yizhou, suppress the Cui family's power, so as not to lose the tail, if it is time to fight against each other, He and Cui Yingying really couldn't be a husband and wife anymore, and Li Min believed in Cui Yingying, but not Cui Zhang and the others, because as Su Morer said, Cui Shao and Cui Zhang and Cui Tong's father had already disagreed.

??Su Mo'er sighed: "I'm afraid the princess doesn't know what's going on in the Cui family. Your Highness just needs to tell her, and she will understand."

?? Li Yin sighed, he didn't expect such a thing to happen when he came back, but the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, and this matter will have to be resolved sooner or later. (To be continued..)
