In fact, Han Yi and these nobles have always had an insurmountable gap. This is not one of the faults, but a microcosm of this era. The only difference is that Han Yi has been very tough from the beginning. When he faced these nobles, he never was afraid, whether it was the Shandong gentry or the Guanzhong County Guard.

This led to Han Yi's continuous breaking of the existing rules. In fact, many nobles hated him. However, at the beginning, Wang Liwu was blocked in front, and then Han Yi made such a great contribution that they had never found a chance. Otherwise, they would definitely attack him in groups, so there is no doubt.

However, this time, Han Yi directly tore up his hypocritical face and declared war on them, which was no longer because of the dispute over the status of scholars and commoners, and the core interests of the two classes.

Although it is just a few tenant farmers, the interests behind these tenant farmers are quite complex and the contradictions are very sharp, and no one will easily give in.

Taiwei’s Mansion!

"Taiwei, Han Yi has just won the third rank of the Tongzhongshu Sect, and his true form is revealed. He is arrogant and does not take anyone seriously. His actions have caused him to offend everything from princes and nobles to gentry and landlords. Now it seems that he is still too young and can't hold back."

Speaking of this, Han Yuan glanced at Changsun Wuji and said, "Taiwei, I heard that many noble ministers are going to impeach Han Yi. Should we also study his book?"

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly and said, "I ask you, when did that boy Han Yi not be arrogant? In the hall, he fought several times to make him speechless, and almost destroyed the reputation of the four major families. If he had not been arrogant, would he do this?"

Han Yuan was stunned for a moment and remained silent.

Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "Boyu, I know you feel wronged, but the more you are, the more cautious you should not force yourself. This may cause death. You should instruct those people below not to impeach Han Yi and a few tenant farmers for this matter. As for whether they jump up and down like this, they are all famous nobles."

Han Yuan said: "Yes, I understand."

Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty, I am really wronged. I am so old and I am the Duke of Xincheng County, a prince of Emperor Taizong, who was granted by so many people, but in front of so many people, I was taught a lesson by a boy in his twenties. I have made the Yuwen family suffer this great humiliation. I have no face to face my late father. I also ask Your Majesty to make the decision for me!"

"Your Majesty, no matter what I say, I am after the founding of the country. However, Han Yi relies on His Majesty's trust to bully us repeatedly. If this continues, it will make the hearts of the meritorious people feel cold!"

"Your Majesty also asks you to make the decision for us!"

"Please make the decision for us!"

But when more than ten people stood in front of Li Zhi with tears and snot, they were either royal relatives or meritorious people. You should know that after the founding of the country, they were at least in their forties. How pitiful this looks!

Li Zhi looked at the memorial they handed over, and glanced at them from time to time. His eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he put down the memorial and nodded and said, "I understand. You go back first. I will find out the matter and give you an explanation."

"I am going to thank the emperor."

After these people retreated, Li Zhi said to Zhang Desheng on the side: "Desheng, go to Xuanshu and ask the ministers to enter the palace to discuss matters."

Zhang Desheng said in surprise: "Your Majesty, you are just a few tenant farmers, and you also want Xuanshu to ask the ministers to discuss it?"

Li Zhi suddenly looked at Zhang Desheng.

Zhang Desheng immediately said in a trepidation: "Your Majesty forgive me, the villain is talking too much."

Li Zhi suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! I'm very puzzled when I say I want to blame you."

Zhang Desheng said curiously: "What is Your Majesty wondering?"

Li Zhidao: "After these public contributions, the royal relatives and relatives grew up reading books of sages, but they are not as good as you who have never read any books."

Zhang Desheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too rewarded. The villain will go to Xuanshu to ask the minister to enter the palace to discuss matters. However, Your Majesty seems to have some discomfort recently and has been complaining about illness and recuperating at home."

"Then don't bother him." Li Zhi said: "Just call the Censor Zhongcheng, oh, call the Minister of Revenue, too."

One hour later.

There were seven people standing in Liangyi Hall, including Li Ji, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Du Zhenglun, Gao Luxing, Han Yi, and another person was Wei Siqian, the newly appointed Censor General Wei Siqian. Because he performed very well in the past year and offended Chu Suiliang, he was highly appreciated by Li Zhi.

Li Zhi first asked them to sit down, and then said: "Just on the way my dear friends came, I have more than a dozen more impeachment memorials on this table!"

straightforward!

Several ministers asked the ministers to take a look at each other quietly, and they knew what was going on. After all, it was a turmoil all over the city.

Li Zhi suddenly looked at Han Yi and said, "Han Yi."

"I'm here."

Han Yi hurriedly stood up.

Li Zhi asked, "Do you know why they impeached you?"

Han Yi shook his head and said with a confused look on his face: "I don't know."

When Li Yifu saw this guy, he was really acting. We all know, but you don’t know.

"Don't know?"

Li Zhi frowned and said, "You really don't know, or are you fake?"

"I really don't know." Han Yi also looked curious.

Li Zhi nodded, looked at Li Ji and others and said, "Why don't you know how many dear friends know?"

Xu Jingzong took the lead and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister thought that the special envoy was pretending to be confused. He had caused such a big deal, and the whole Chang'an knew about it, but he didn't know it, and the old minister didn't believe it."

Of course he was standing on the side of the nobles, and with Han Yi’s personal grudges, he didn’t stab Han Yi twice at this time, which was not like his style.

Li Zhi looked at Han Yi again.

Han Yi said in surprise: "Sir Xu, I wonder what happened to me? Please tell me clearly."

Xu Jingzong snorted: "You are going to recruit 5,000 tenant farmers to come to your Fengfeilou to do things. I wonder if I am wrong?"

Han Yi showed his hands and said, "Is this a troublemaker? I just recruited some people to do things. I am upright and the Tang Dynasty Daily has been published."

When Li Zhi saw that the two of them were about to fight again, he was very distressed and said, "Why did anyone impeach you to bully others and insult your merits in public, the royal family members persuaded the Agricultural Bank of China to work and destroy the country."

Han Yi said panickedly: "Your Majesty, this - I really don't know where to start?"

Li Zhi said: "Then I ask you, I have been to you yesterday, Mr. Yuwen, the Seng Ni, the Duke of Xincheng County, went to find you."

"I did come to find Weichen."

Han Yi nodded and said, "But he was also humiliating me. After all, I was the third rank of the Secretariat of Tongzhongshu, whom His Majesty conferred him. He kept shouting in front of my house that Han Yi was getting out. Many people heard it at that time. I really don't know who humiliated who."

Xu Jingzong immediately said: "This Xincheng County Duke has nothing to do with you. If you hadn't offended him first, how could he go back and cause trouble for you? You know the right and wrong in your heart."

Han Yi didn't want to pay attention to this mess. After all, Wu Meiniang had already told him, and pretended that she didn't hear it, and said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty clearly, and he kept saying that his tenant farmers came to me to do things, so he wanted to trouble me. But the problem is that I just recruited people to help me with my work. It was his tenant farmers who came by themselves, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Is that true?" Li Zhi's tone was very plain.

Li Yifu originally wanted to stand up and take advantage of the situation, but when he saw Li Zhi's elusive attitude, he felt that he had to see before talking about it.

"This matter is absolutely true, how dare I hide it from Your Majesty?" Han Yi bowed.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "What about bullying others with power? They said that you did this as a deliberate revenge."

"This minister dare not deny it. A few days ago, the Li family in the north of the city joined forces with more than ten gentry to destroy Jin Xing, whom they admitted it themselves. Many people know that, thanks to my cleverness, Jin Xing escaped this disaster. Of course, I have to give them some color. Moreover, I am open and upright, and I directly pay my money to ask their tenant farmers to help me work. Could it be that they bullying me, even if they treat me with courtesy and take revenge on them, would they bully others?"

Li Zhi had no expression on his face, stretched out his fingers and scratched his temples a few times, and said to the others: "I wonder what you all think about this?"

Xu Jingzong said: "Your Majesty, right and wrong, the old minister does not want to argue with the special envoys, but agriculture is the foundation of the country. Isn't the special envoys doing this just to lure the agricultural bank to work? By then, the farmers will no longer cultivate the land and everyone will work, which will be unfavorable to the country and the country. Moreover, the court has been advising farmers and the special envoys to hold important positions, but it goes against the court's policies and let down His Majesty's hard work, which is contrary to the way of being a minister."

"Your Majesty, I think I am not in the special envoy."

Wei Siqian suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, because this incident has caused turmoil and involves third-rank officials of the court, I am more clear about the ins and outs of this matter. The envoys did not violate the rules and regulations of the court, nor did they make any unethical actions. This is the basis of the country. The envoys only promised 200 cents a month, and the tenants immediately fled the manor. Some tenants would even rather compensate for the refund of the tenants than go to Fengfei Tower. This matter should be worthy of the attention of the court.

My Tang Dynasty advised the farmers and sericultures to consider the people, but it was not to persuade the people to accept the exploitation of the landlords. If the two were combined together, it was a humiliation of the court and a contempt for the people. Your Majesty, now those landlords continue to annex the land after their merits, and then rent the annexed land to the original owner of the land. This would have greatly damaged the equal land system in our dynasty. If it continues for a long time, the equal land system will no longer exist."

Ouch! This person is pretty good! Han Yi was the first time he dealt with Wei Siqian. His previous understanding of Wei Siqian was limited to Wei Siqian's impeachment of Chu Suiliang, but this does not mean that Wei Siqian is a straight minister like Wei Zheng, because Wei Siqian was born in the Wei family of Jingzhao and was born in a noble family. It is not clear whether he and Chu Suiliang are political enemies. But today, he was indeed a straight minister. His words were very fair, but logically speaking, he should be more aristocratic, but he still talks about the matter.

Li Yifu stood up and said, "But Han Yi's actions have caused dissatisfaction among many princes, nobles and meritorious ministers, and destroyed the existing harmony. If there is no timely restriction, it may cause turmoil."

Li Zhi nodded, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes, so he secretly looked at Li Ji. Seeing that Li Ji's eyes were slightly closed, he thought, "Is it not going to fall asleep again?" He shouted softly: "Sikong!"

Li Ji nodded and said, "Your Majesty."

Li Zhi asked very gently: "I wonder what Sikong thinks about this?"

Li Ji blinked in confusion, and after a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, the old minister really doesn't know what he bought." After a pause, he said, "But if it is because of a few tenant farmers, it will cause national turmoil, then - that minister should really bring blame and resign."

Li Yifu looked at Li Ji and felt very embarrassed. Everyone was in the same palace as the ministers, so there was no need to say so directly.

A hint of joy flashed in Li Zhi's eyes. Li Ji always spoke so well, but he sighed and said, "Sikong's words are reasonable. Several tenant farmers came to my Liangyi Hall. Just now, Zhang Desheng heard that I wanted to invite several beloved ministers to discuss this matter, and they all laughed at me, but he didn't know my difficulties. Those of them are all meritorious and royal relatives, and I can't ignore them. I'm really a headache."

Du Zhenglun suddenly stood up and said, "What if it comes after merit? After merit, can we turn black and white, ignore the laws and regulations, insult the ministers, Your Majesty, you are the emperor, how can you be afraid of these merits? Only a few tenant farmers, they quarreled in the palace. If the court asked them one day to collect more stones of food, they would have to rebel."

Wow! This guy is so brave! Han Yi secretly glanced at Du Zhenglun.

Li Zhi glanced at Du Zhenglun, without saying a word, and then said to Gao: "Gao Aiqing, as the Minister of Revenue, do you have no opinion on this matter?"

Gao Luxing was very embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and manage the world's finances. I really have no experience in this matter and don't know what to do."

What I mean is that this is a trivial matter that I have never dealt with.

Li Zhidao: "But Han Yi is from your Ministry of Revenue."

Gao Luxing hurriedly said: "Report to Your Majesty, Han Yi's edict has not yet been issued. Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Li Zhi said in surprise: "Have you come down yet?"

Han Yi nodded.

Li Zhi frowned a little, but did not say much, but seemed a little depressed: "But so many ministers reported, there must be someone to deal with this matter? I wonder which official office should hand over this matter to handle it?"

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu wanted to accept this matter. The key is that Li Zhi's attitude is very confusing. In fact, this matter is very simple. There is no right or wrong. You are right. It's all in your words. However, after Li Zhi talked for a long time, he asked for a while, but he didn't express his opinion. They were both unable to make up for the moment. If Li Zhi wanted to hit Han Yi, it would be fine. If Li Zhi had no such plan, it would be embarrassing. On one side, there was an aristocratic class and the other side, the emperor, wouldn't he ask for trouble if he was caught in the middle?

Wei Siqian wanted to take it. He thought that this was the responsibility of the Censorate, but he was not the boss, and Cui Yixuan was there, so he couldn't speak out.

Li Zhi glanced at him and said, "Since the few dear friends don't have a good candidate for the time being, let's put it aside first! You guys retreat first. Oh, Han Yi stay."

"I'm going to leave!"
