In the woodshed of the Chang 'an Grain Administration, Han Qiu and the Han Family were locked up.
The others were panicking, but Han Qiu ate her fill and slept soundly.
It was late autumn, the harvest season. The government laborers in the Chang 'an Grain Department were transporting grain…
Han Qiu looked out through the fence of the firewood shed. She wondered how many heads would fall to the ground in the next few days.
Originally, he had only received eight bushels of grain, but he had received an extra forty to fifty dans of grain. How bold must he be to dare to do such a thing?
The next day.
The sun was shining brightly. Han Qiu looked out through the fence of the firewood shed. The bailiffs in the Chang 'an Grain Department were still busy. Some bailiffs said that the Chief Historian had already sent out the first batch of grain and received the imperial court's commendation…
These bailiffs glanced at Han Qiu, who was locked in the firewood shed. When they were in the Han Residence, this old man had said things that were very strange. He had said things like beheading and unforgivable crimes. It was really scary.
But now, nothing had happened!
The chief historian was Zhangsun Qi, and the backer behind him was Zhangsun Wuji!
Han Qiu looked at their expressions and silently mourned for them. They were about to die, but they did not know it.
……
Li Shimin left the court early. After dealing with some simple government affairs, he handed over the matters of the court to Du Ruhui.
Today was a good day. He decided to leave the palace with Fang Xuanling and head to the Han Family Residence.
Set up a government hall.
Empress Zhangsun saw that Li Shimin had changed into casual clothes and smiled,""Your Majesty, are you going to the Han Residence again?"
"Yes, the weather is good today. I'll go and send a fishing rod to Uncle Han.”
The sun was just right today, and he was prepared to ask Uncle Han for advice. He knew that Uncle Han liked fishing, so he specially took his fishing rod out of the palace.
This fishing rod was a tribute from the royal family. It was light and not easy to break. The hook was also carefully carved by a craftsman. The material used was Tianshan Cold Iron. This iron hook was not only sharp, but also had strong absorption ability. The bait would not fall off easily when hung on the hook...
Even if he didn't dare to recruit an unworldly expert like Uncle Han, chatting with him would benefit him for the rest of his life. Moreover, Wan Yi's relationship with Uncle Han was extraordinary. Perhaps he could really let Uncle Han enter the court as Prime Minister!
Li Shi Min had already thought it through. If Uncle Han really entered the court, he would make Uncle Han the Grand Preceptor of the court and become the head of the three dukes!
If Fang Xuanling is willing to abdicate, let Uncle Han be the Prime Minister!
He had long conversations with Uncle Han every day to learn the ways of governing the country!
Empress Zhangsun was even more curious about this legendary Uncle Han when she saw Li Shiming take out her most beloved item.
"What kind of immortal character is he? He actually made Your Majesty fall head over heels for him!”
"What style? "That's indescribable. This is the first time I've ever felt that my knowledge is shallow…" After Li Shiming said this, he picked up two small stones from the ground.
"If only my knowledge was so far." Li Shi Min threw the stone very close.
"That's how far Uncle Han's knowledge is!”Li Shi Min threw out the last stone in his hand. It flew in the air and fell far away!
The chief eunuch came to the government hall and reported,""Your Majesty, Lord Fang is waiting for you outside the palace!”
"Alright, I understand. You may leave.”
After Li Shimin said this, he turned to Empress Zhangsun and said,""Zhen has left the palace and will probably return at night. You stay in the palace and take care of Changle.”
"Go, go. Look at how anxious you are. Where is the prestige of an emperor?”
Li Shi Min had been anxious for a long time, and he wished he could fly to the Han Residence immediately.
Li Shiming left the palace. Empress Zhangsun watched Li Shiming leave in a hurry, and her guess about Uncle Han became even stronger.
She even suspected that Uncle Han might be a peerless beauty who could make Li Shiming fall head over heels for her!
……
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling rushed to the Han Residence excitedly. Along the way, Li Shimin urged the guards to speed up their horses.
But…
When they arrived at the Han Residence, a shocking scene happened in front of them!
The cornstalks had already disappeared!
Li Shi Min had a bad feeling. The first person he thought of was Uncle Han.
"Xuan Ling! Hurry up and leave!"
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling walked into the Han Residence.
When Li Shiming arrived at Uncle Han's house, his eyes were filled with rage!
He saw that the tables and chairs in the courtyard were scattered, and the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone had fallen to the ground. There were also footprints on the white paper!
"Ah! Uncle Han! Where's my virtuous minister? Why did the heavens cut off my life!"
Li Shiming ran into the courtyard like a madman. He looked at the inkstones scattered all over the ground, his eyes red, and he almost went crazy. He kept thinking about having a long talk with Uncle Han.
He was considering how to make Uncle Han the Prime Minister of the empire!
However, the scene in front of him shattered all of Li Shiming's thoughts!
Everything was over!
It was over!
Li Shi Min walked out of the hut like a zombie!
There was no Uncle Han!
How am I supposed to fight against Li Changsheng!
Thud!
Li Shi Min's legs gave way and he fell hard onto the ground. His head was bleeding from the impact, but he shouted like he had lost his mind,"Uncle Han! Uncle Han! You abandoned me!"
At that moment, Hu Zi ran into the courtyard. Hu Zi's snot and tears mixed together and flowed uncontrollably!
"Uncle Han! Uncle Han! Why did you abandon me!"
Li Shimin was in the courtyard, as if he had lost his mind. Fang Xuanling helped Li Shimin up from the side, using a handkerchief to cover his broken forehead.
"I don't need you! Uncle Han is gone, why should I wipe the blood!”
Li Shiming pulled the card from his forehead and threw it on the ground!
……
In Han Qiu's courtyard.
Li Shi Min stood up from the dust.
"Find it for me! Find it for me! Even if the sky is turned upside down and the earth is flattened, I will find Uncle Han!”
Li Shi Min roared crazily in the courtyard. His eyes were bloodshot and almost spewed fire!
At this moment, his heart was bleeding. If Uncle Han left, Li Shiming would regret it for the rest of his life!
When had Fang Xuanling ever seen Li Shimin lose his composure like this?
From this, it could be seen how important Uncle Han was in Li Shiming's heart!
At this time, Hu Zi, who had brought the cornbread for Li Shiming, entered the courtyard. His snot and tears were already mixed together.
Li Shi Min grabbed Hu Zi's shoulder and asked,"Hu Zi, tell me, where is Uncle Han who lives here?”
"Uncle Han was captured by the officials who collected the grain. They said that Uncle Han obstructed them from collecting the grain and wanted to drag him to be executed!”
Weng!
Li Shi Min felt like his head was about to explode!
Dragged to be executed!
Who was so bold!
"Hu Zi, tell me, who captured Uncle Han?”Fang Xuanling asked anxiously.
" It's a high-ranking official who collects grain. In the past, he collected eight buckets of grain. This year, there's a famine in other places, so he collected all the grain, leaving only one stone of rations. Uncle Han argued with those officials who collected grain, and they took him away…"
After Hu Zi finished speaking, Li Shiming suddenly turned his head to look at the mess of ink and paper in the room. It was as if he had seen the bailiffs who had barged into the house to collect grain and wreaked havoc!
Li Shi Min quickly left the courtyard with a gloomy face. He came to the front of the carriage and untied the reins of the carriage while issuing an order to the accompanying guards,"Have Hou Junji gather 5,000 soldiers and surround the Chang 'an Grain Department. Take down all the officials in the department! Without my decree, no one is allowed to leave!”
"Yes!"
After Li Shi Min issued the imperial edict, he had already untied the reins of his horse. He jumped onto the horse and said,"Xuanling, go back to Chang 'an by yourself. I'll go first. I want to see who dares to imprison my virtuous minister and teacher!”
Drive!
Giddyup!
Li Shi Min squeezed his horse's belly and took the lead to fly away.
"Your Majesty, your injuries!"
Fang Xuanling shouted. The Emperor's forehead was still bleeding…
However, Li Shi Min couldn't care less. If what Hu Zi said was true, Uncle Han was locked up by the grain officer. If Uncle Han was tortured by the grain officer, then…
Then everything would be over!
"Quickly go after His Majesty!"
Fang Xuanling urged the guards to chase after Li Shimin. He knew that the Emperor was furious. This time, the Ministry of Revenue was going to be in big trouble. Increasing taxes and collecting more food without permission was a serious crime.
Moreover, he had even arrested Uncle Han, who was valued by His Majesty. This was even more of a crime!
……
In Han Qiu's courtyard, Hu Zi wiped away his tears and snot as he left. He was just an ordinary kid. Even if Li Shiming called himself 'Zhen', Hu Zi didn't know what it meant.
Unless Fang Xuanling addressed Li Shiming as His Majesty and kowtowed to the Emperor, Hu Zi might be able to guess Li Shiming's identity.
Otherwise, no one would dare to believe that they could meet the Emperor of the Tang Empire in a remote farmhouse…
Uncle Han treated everyone very well and was loved by the farmers of the Han Family. However, the people did not fight with the government. No matter how capable the farmers of the Han Family were, they did not have the ability to save Uncle Han!
The only thing they could do was to complain and find all the places they could to seek justice for Uncle Han!
The farmers of the Han Family didn't know that at this moment, the Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Shimin, was even more anxious and flustered than they were!
……
Li Shi Min rode his horse on the official road, leaving the guards far behind!
His chest was filled with anger!
Corrupted officials!
Corrupted officials!
Alright!
Just you wait. If you let Uncle Han get hurt, I'll definitely kill you until your blood flows like a river!
Li Shi Min was a monarch who was good at judging people. Although he had only met Han Qiu once, he was already convinced by Han Qiu's talent...
……
Han Qiu and a group of prisoners were locked up in the government office of the Chang 'an Grain Department…
At this moment, the chief historian of the Food Department, Zhangsun Qi, was very excited. He had never thought that the Han Family would contribute 10,000 dans of food despite having only 260 households. On average, each household would contribute 40 dans of food…
Each household stored two stones of grain, and the remaining 38 stones of grain could be put into their own pockets.
A farm actually earned ten thousand dan of grain. This Han Family was very wealthy. It was just that the grain they grew was very strange. However, this was not something Zhangsun Qi had to consider.
Anyway, after gathering enough missions, the rest of the money would belong to him!
Just as Zhangsun Qi was leisurely humming a tune in the office of the Food Department!
The sound of the soldiers clashing with each other rang out. Zhangsun Qi suddenly stood up."What happened?"
At this moment, an official ran in and reported,""Milord, bad news! General Hou Junji has led his army to surround the Food Bureau!”
Boom!
"What is it? Hou Junji is here?"
Zhangsun Qi's happiness and excitement were instantly extinguished.
An ominous premonition enveloped him.
……
When Hou Junji received Li Shimin's order, he immediately mobilized five thousand soldiers to surround the Chang 'an Grain Bureau. Hou Junji had a feeling that the Chief of the Grain Bureau was in for a disaster!
Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, Li Shi Min had rarely been so angry.
What exactly happened?
Outside Chang 'an's Grain Department, Hou Junji stood on his horse, his heart filled with suspicion…
What exactly was it that made His Majesty make such a big fuss?
Hou Junji predicted that a terrifying political storm was coming!
