The first thousand one hundred and seventy-four chapters
"I heard that you have been busy buying land outside Chang'an City recently and building water trucks on the river channel of Chang'an Bashui. Why do you have time to invite me to dinner?"
Faced with Wang Xiao's inquiry, Princess Pingyang understood that Wang Xiao was very dissatisfied with the nobles buying land and occupying rivers to build water trucks.
So she responded carefully, "Your Majesty is worried about the national affairs, so I have nothing to share your worries. I have to recruit some musicians and singers to think that your Majesty can relax and relieve his fatigue."
The news that Wang Xiao allowed ordinary people to live outside Chang'an City was naturally the first to know about the nobles.
Naturally, they will buy land outside Chang'an City, because these places will inevitably appreciate in value.
As for water trucks, this new type of irrigation tool has a huge agricultural promotion effect and is favored enough as soon as it appears.
However, the cost has increased due to the use of a large amount of steel construction, and it is difficult for ordinary people to build a home.
At the beginning, the Shaofu helped the construction, and then the benefited people returned the construction costs annually.
But the greedy personality of the noble family broke out again. They had money and land, and they occupied the river without hesitation and began to build water trucks to water their land.
This kind of incident seriously affected the Shaofu's arrangements, and naturally made the people who were unable to use the water truck very angry.
Wang Xiao has asked Zhang Tang to start preparing recently. When Wei Qing and Huo Qubing come back, they will have to deal with these disobedient nobles.
Except for a small number, the great men of the great men now have become waste that can only make money and enjoy.
They used the income from fiefs to buy land on a large scale. Because in the agricultural era, land was the most important means of production.
The water trucks they built affected the lives of ordinary people, and they bought land for mergers on a large scale, which Wang Xiao was even more unwilling to see.
So it is natural to be cleaned up.
Princess Pingyang had a spy in the Weiyang Palace and found out early that Wang Xiao was getting angry.
So before the matter broke out, please ask Wang Xiao to come to his mansion to give gifts that satisfy the emperor to prevent the fire.
You should know that during these days, she bought the most land outside Chang'an City and the most water trucks.
Although I know how Wang Xiao will not punish her, if the matter is spread, it will damage Wei Qing's reputation.
There is no AA system these days, and it is even more impossible that your business is yours and mine is mine.
In this era, if Princess Pingyang, as her wife, causes damage to Wei Qing's reputation, it will inevitably be recorded in history books and is criticized by thousands of people.
"Since that's the case, then call me up."
Wang Xiao has long been tired of singing and dancing.
But there is no other way of entertainment in this era. Apart from retreating in the palace, they are practicing on the bed.
Although it is something he likes, it will be boring if he does this every day.
Now when I come to Princess Pingyang, I just think it’s a different taste to relax.
The musicians came up and started playing music after the ceremony.
But what was surprising was that the singing this time was not a beautiful girl, but a young man.
Just when Wang Xiao was a little confused, the young man had already started singing in response to the music.
‘There is a beautiful woman in the north, who is peerless and independent. She is so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be so beautiful that she can be
When Wang Xiao heard this famous "Good Beauty Song", he immediately understood the identity of this guy.
The famous musician Li Yannian.
In history, Li Yannian should have been punished for committing crimes at this time, which is the same punishment as Sima Gong.
However, Wang Xiao canceled all corporal punishments early, and even no eunuchs were recruited in the palace.
So Li Yannian was just locked up and fined, and then he was recruited into Wei Qing's mansion because of his musical talent.
Of course, Wei Qing was not interested in these things. Princess Pingyang was doing all the things, and it was dedicated to the emperor.
Wang Xiao looked at Li Yannian with a smile and said, "So, where is the peerless beauty?"
Li Yannian's family are also relatives of foreigners. Because Mrs. Li gave birth to Liu Feng, the king of Changyi Ai, she was posthumously named the queen when she died. Naturally, the members of the Li family can also be regarded as relatives of foreigners.
There is no need to mention Liu Ying's identity. His son is Liu He, the Marquis of Haihun who was excavated by archaeology in later generations.
The reason why Wang Xiao didn't like Li Yannian was because he knew very well what the Li brothers were.
Although Li Yannian is talented, his character is extremely poor.
If it weren't for the castration in history, it would probably be even more crazy than that sky.
Li Yannian's younger brother Li Ji was a traitor in the palace.
Li Yannian also has an older brother, the famous General Li Guangli of Ershi.
In history, when Li Yannian and Li Ji were exterminated for crimes, Li Guangli was expeditioning to Dayuan and surrendered to the Huns directly after receiving the news. He was also a traitor.
How could Wang Xiao give them a chance to stand out in this family?
The Li family is not from a high school background, and the whole family is an excellent family that has been advocated for generations.
The advocates of this era will not have countless ill-fated men who will send money to them, and their status is very low.
The reason why he can be noble is entirely because Mrs. Li is so beautiful.
"His Majesty."
When Princess Pingyang saw that Wang Xiao was interested, she immediately smiled and said, "This beauty is in the mansion. Do you want to see her?"
"See you, of course you'll see you." Wang Xiao smiled slightly, "How can you not see the beautiful woman?"
Princess Pingyang clapped her hands and walked in beautifully in a dress mopping palace dress.
Wang Xiao always agreed with the saying, "The King of Chu is so thin that he starved to death in the palace."
If he spends his time on those peerless beauties all day, those who want to dedicate their favor among the great man will definitely be like countless people crossing the river.
Countless girls who cannot recognize their appearance will stage various joys and sorrows in the world, and various divorces and breaking off the engagement will inevitably be staged one after another, and then they will rush towards the Weiyang Palace like a moth to the flame. Hope to have the opportunity to fly to the branches and turn into a phoenix.
.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Xiao has never done such a thing since Empress Dowager Dou held a talent show for him back then.
Although countless girls lamented that the emperor did not give him a chance, they even complained in their hearts whether the emperor liked brave men?
But Wang Xiao's restraint greatly alleviated the internal conflicts of the Han Dynasty.
Wang Xiao is unwilling to expand the scale of girls extensively. Another important reason is that almost none of the girls in the big man have simple characters.
Like Mrs. Gouge who secretly manipulated the witchcraft rebellion, like the famous sister Zhao Feiyan, etc., which one is a fuel-efficient lamp?
Even if Wang Xiao was not afraid of getting a face like a peach blossom, he was a girl who was as scorpion-like as a snake and a scorpion who came in to make some conspiracy. But that was too irritable. He didn't want to focus all his time and energy on these things. It was just a simple trembling and it ended. Isn't it good
Is it?
It is precisely because of this that the girl who appears in front of Wang Xiao has been dressed up with real care, because this opportunity is really rare.
The girl is not very old and is wearing a black roving and curved hem dress.
The hem of the deep clothes is tightened, revealing the girl's outstanding figure.
The complexion is pure and flawless, with the unique blush of girls. It is not the blush created by light glasses and makeup, but it is truly pure and natural.
Cherry's small mouth and big floating eyes flashed at Wang Xiao.
This girl is really beautiful. Whether it is her appearance or figure, she beats the so-called Internet celebrities who made up of various filters, beauties and makeup in later generations.
Li Yannian praised his sister as a peerless beauty, and she was really not bragging.
Wang Xiao's eyes lit up, but they soon returned to normal.
After all, it is a man who has fought with many beautiful people in the world and has a strong resistance to beautiful girls.
"Meet Your Majesty."
The girl wearing beautiful Hanfu bowed and Wang Xiao, who was a gentleman, never saw the whiteness revealed through the Hanfu.
"Um."
He nodded, "I heard from the eldest princess that your singing and dancing are good, so let's show it."
"Yes, your Majesty."
The music sounded again, and the girl who got up danced in the hall, dancing and singing.
Honestly, the dance is very good and the singing is very sweet.
After all, it is a skill passed down from generation to generation, and with excellent basic conditions, she did not disappoint her brother's bragging.
"good."
After the dance ended, when the girl gasped and bowed slightly, she finally heard the good news of her dream. "In the future, I will enter the Weiyang Palace and sing and dance for me."
The girl showed joy on her face and bowed deeply, "Now."
Before Wang Xiao left, he said to Princess Pingyang who was sent to him by Gong, "Dropping down all the water trucks built illegally, and returning all the land they snatched from them. Don't make me embarrassed, and don't embarrass Wei Qing!"
What else can Princess Pingyang say? Wang Xiao in front of her is the only person in the world who can determine her fate with their family.
When facing Wang Xiao's words, even if Princess Pingyang is the eldest princess and the man is the general, she has to listen.
Wei Qing is not Huo Guang, and no one can be Huo Guang here.
After returning to Weiyang Palace, Wang Xiao found the Li family's son before resting at night and asked her to perform singing and dancing for herself in the bedroom.
The son of the Li family first sang a song for Wang Xiaoshen, and then he did another horse-riding dance regardless of his words and thoughts, and performed very hard.
Wang Xiao was very satisfied with the singing and dancing of the Li family's son, and he appointed him as his wife the next day. He became a sensational figure in the Weiyang Palace for a while.
At the same time, the matter of clearing out the palace of nobles annexing land and privately building water trucks is also being carried out quickly.
Dozens of nobles were punished for violating the Han law, and their fate was surprisingly consistent. They were all revoked their titles and fiefs and fiefs.
From then on, these noble nobles became ordinary common people.
Princess Pingyang who learned the news was a little scared because the emperor was really cruel to take action.
Some of these nobles even had titles established during the reign of Emperor Gao, and this time they were mercilessly removed from the country.
