"Your Majesty, the situation has been clear. The bracelet was indeed what you gave to Dafei at the beginning. It was only Dafei's wife secretly gave it to Monk Zhishen of Hongfu Temple as a token of love. The thief accidentally entered Monk Zhishen's Zen room and stole the bracelet. Unfortunately, he walked away from someone else's wallet near the city gate again, and he touched the place he shouldn't touch, which led to almost being caught on the spot, which made the matter come out."

That night, in a large mansion in Liangzhou City, He Qingquan reported on his investigation to Li Kuan.

"Oh? There's something like this?"

Although Li Kuan had guessed this before, he was still very surprised when he heard the news from He Qingquan.

This is simply a replica of the case in which Princess Gaoyang and Monk Bianji were exposed in history.

A thief was accidentally caught and found an exquisite jade pillow from his stolen goods. The thief also admitted that he stole it from a monk's Zen room, but the jade pillow obviously did not look like a monk's.

After further investigation, it was found that the jade pillow actually belonged to Princess Gaoyang.

The gossip fire of the nobles and the people in Chang'an City immediately ignited and could no longer be suppressed.

In the end, the talented and knowledgeable Bian Ji was beheaded in half.

In this life, Fang Yiai's relationship with Princess Gao Yang has improved greatly. Although Gao Yang has seen Bian Ji, there is no intersection between the two.

Li Kuan thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect that he ate a similar melon as soon as he arrived in Liangzhou.

"I have already confirmed it at Dafei's mansion and arranged for someone to go to Hongfu Temple to investigate. The case is like this, and it is certain! Dafei's wife Ma San Niangzi has been going to Hongfu Temple to worship Buddha almost every day in the past year. She is going to worship Buddha on the surface, but in fact she is going to Hongfu Temple to meet with Monk Zhishen.

This situation can be proved by the maids and guards around Ma Sanniangzi, and many novice monks in Hongfu Temple have also heard of it. However, because the Ma family is a local wealthy family in Liangzhou, it has a great influence in several prefectures in the northwest, and most people dare not chew their family's ears casually.

In addition, the Masan Madam kept telling Dafei that she went to Hongfu Temple to pray for Dafei to relieve her sins, so Dafei had never discovered this before."

While reporting, He Qingquan secretly thanked that he had not gotten married.

Women are tigers, so that's true.

I should go to Pingkangfang for more visits, and I can solve everything by spending money.

"Kuan'er, I seem to have heard of Da Fei's name. If I remember correctly, I should be a Hu man? Since the Ma family is a local gentry in Liangzhou, how could they marry their daughter to a Hu man?"

Li Shimin knew very well that deep down in the Tang Dynasty's aristocratic families, they always looked down on the Hu people.

Not to mention pure Hu people, even if they have some Hu blood, those gentry will feel contempt.

As a Hu person who defected to the Chu Prince's Mansion in the early years, although Da Fei had joined the household registration in Liliangzhou and was protected by the "Da Tang Law", in the eyes of the gentry, he was definitely a Hu person, not a Tang man.

The Tang Dynasty is not an immigrant country. If you join the Tang Dynasty’s household registration, the gentry really regards you as a Tang Dynasty person.

Even ordinary people are unwilling to marry their daughters to these naturalized Hu people.

Of course, Hu Ji's outstanding appearance is not comparable to ordinary Han women, so many families are willing to take a few Hu women home as concubines.

To a certain extent, this can also accelerate the pace of the Hu people's integration into the Tang Dynasty.

After all, once a woman in the Hu family becomes a concubine of the Tang people, even if this family is related to the Tang people locally, it is not easy to be bullied.

"Your Majesty, this is the difference between the Ma family and the Guanzhong gentry. In the border areas like the northwest, they pay more attention to interests. As long as they can bring benefits to the development of the family, they can do everything. When the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the relationship between the local gentry in the northwest was ambiguous with the Turks, and some even took the initiative to take the initiative to take the tribe leader of the Turks, the female Turks in the family for the benefit of their own family."

Several local wealthy families in the northwest are relatively group, and have deep tangles with the Hu people, and lack awe of the central court.

Although under the influence of the Chu Prince's Mansion, these wealthy families have tied up their tails to be human, Li Kuan's influence on them has always been bad, and he has long wanted to find an opportunity to deal with them.

"According to what you said, the situation in the northwest is not as calm as it seems on the surface, and the clouds are strange in secret."

Li Shimin is a smart person. After listening to Li Kuan's simple description, he knew that the situation in Liangzhou, Ganzhou and other places was probably quite complicated.

"That's right! But for the stability of the northwest of the Tang Dynasty and the stable rear of the Silk Road, the situation in the northwest must be re-organized, and Ganzhou, Suzhou and Liangzhou, like Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, become an inseparable part of the Tang Dynasty.

To make the interests of these places firmly tied to the court. The first thing to bear is to weaken the control of the local tyrants over the yamen. All clerks cannot be theirs. Otherwise, no matter how many governors and county magistrates are replaced by the court, they will not be able to get close to the final problem."

No matter which feudal dynasty it is, the control of grassroots level is very weak.

Although the noble governors and county magistrates were appointed by the court, the clerks who really had contact with the people had the greatest impact on the people.

But these clerks basically have a tangible relationship with the local wealthy families.

They are either children from local wealthy families, relatives of aunts and ladies, or servants who defect to others.

Anyway, few clerks have nothing to do with the local wealthy family.

But many of the court's policies must be implemented in the end, and these clerks must be passed through.

"The gentry loved reputation the most. Ma San Ma was a woman from the Ma family in Liangzhou. That just made the case bigger and let the people of Liangzhou know about this. However, Da Fei, who defected to Kuan'er, was about to lose face."

"Your Majesty, Dafei probably hated the Ma family! The so-called deep love and deep hatred. How much Dafei loved Ma San's wife in the past, now he hated her. So don't worry too much about his thoughts." The fastest update is computer::/

"Since that's the case, let's arrange it according to your ideas. Liangzhou is now the third-ranked state capital in the Tang Dynasty's tax revenue. It is indeed necessary to sort out the local wealthy families well so as not to lack awe of the court."

Li Shimin has always been very rude to deal with the noble families.

Now that Li Kuan is willing to take the initiative, he naturally has no reason to object.
