God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 849 Raising Food Prices
Less than an hour.

Zhang Xuansu and others were all driven out of the Zhang residence.

All the property of the Zhang family belongs to Du He.

Out of humanitarian concern, Du He asked people to buy a house in disrepair in the west of the city and gave it to Zhang Xuansu.

Zhang Xuansu's family of more than 20 people crowded into the dilapidated house and washed their faces with tears.

……

In the big stockade of the Zhang Mansion that has changed the gate.

Li Ke smacked his lips and said, "Teacher, isn't it a little too cruel for us to do this?"

"Cruel?" Du He sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Zhang Xuansu, this old dog, is going to put me to death, whether he went to Hu County to stir up trouble among the gentry, or what he did in the pig farm, and later he spied on the pigs. The secrets of the tycoon pig feed processing factory are all trying to kick me down completely, I didn't kill him, it was considered kind!"

Du He never relents when dealing with the enemy.

Li Ke nodded: "Teacher, but Zhang Xuansu is still a minister of the court, or Prince Zhan Shi, what should he do if he impeaches you in front of his father? Moreover, Zhang Xuansu has many friends in the court. If these people Let's impeach you together, I'm afraid that the emperor will also scold you."

"Hehe, if Zhang Xuansu goes to impeach, he will be courting death!"

"Ah? Why?"

"You are too young to understand!" Du He said lightly.

Li Ke looked down and wondered, "I'm not young!"

Du He: "..."

……

The next morning.

Zhang Xuansu dressed up and found a government suit that had been washed white. After dressing neatly, he hurried to the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, many ministers were already waiting for him.

When everyone saw Zhang Xuansu, they couldn't help being comforted.

"Master Zhang, don't have to feel uncomfortable, today, we will advance and retreat with you!"

"Yes, Du He is too deceitful!"

"Today, we will definitely ask His Majesty to punish him heavily and seek justice for Mr. Zhang!"

"Justice!"

Everyone said excitedly.

After saying that, everyone hurried into the palace and went to the imperial study to see His Majesty Li Er.

Li Er didn't intend to meet people at first, but he heard that Zhang Xuansu was looking for death and life, so he met Zhang Xuansu and others.

puff.

As soon as Zhang Xuansu saw Li Er, he knelt down on the ground and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master for the old minister! Du He, Duke of Huyi County, bullied people too much, bullied people too much! His family property was taken away by him, and the whole family is now living on the streets, homeless , Your Majesty, I have been following His Majesty for many years, loyal and unwavering, teaching the prince, doing my best, never slacking off, there is hard work even if there is no credit, but Du Hejin bullying the minister like this, is it tolerable or unbearable, Du He Does He still have Datang in his eyes, does he still have Datang in his eyes? Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your ministers!" Zhang Xuansu burst into tears, expressing his misfortunes and Du He's evil deeds.

The other ministers seemed to have received the order and became excited.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is an important minister of the imperial court, and it is the matter of Prince Zhan. Du He led people to occupy Zhang's mansion and rob Zhang's family property without asking any questions. How is this behavior different from robbers? If you condone it, it will inevitably lead to disgrace. The country, the people's hearts are not old."

"Du He is really abominable. Such an act, where the Tang law is set, where the court hides its face, if it is not severely punished, it is simply outrageous!"

"Your Majesty, please make an order to punish Du He severely immediately, let him return Mr. Zhang's family property, and give the world an explanation!"

"Seconded!"

"My minister agrees!"

The crowd was furious and accused Du He one after another.

The more everyone talked, the more excited they became.

Originally, Zhang Xuansu and the others thought that His Majesty would be furious after they finished speaking, and would slap the table. When His Majesty Li Er was angry, he would slap the table.

Unexpectedly, the voice below said tears, but there was no movement above.

Everyone was stunned and looked up.

But he saw His Majesty Li Er sitting behind the table, looking at everyone coldly.

Zhang Xuansu was a little dumbfounded, wiped his tears, and asked: "Your Majesty, what I said, is there something wrong?"

Li Er said coldly: "Zhang Qing's family, I know what you said, step back!"

What?
That's why you quit?

Leave it alone?
Zhang Xuansu was dumbfounded.

The other ministers, you look at me, I look at you, they are all stupid.

No one moved.

Li Er squinted at Zhang Xuansu and the others, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

I saw Zhang Xuansu gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves, knelt down again with a puff, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, do you really want to favor Du He so much? I am Your Majesty's minister, and Du He is also His Majesty's minister. Can't you give me justice? Is it true that you really want to chill the heart of the old minister? If Your Majesty doesn't give me justice today, I will smash my head to death in this imperial study, so that I can show my ambition by death!"

"Your Majesty, the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh!"

"Your Majesty, if you are so partial to Du He, I'm afraid the court ministers will be chilled!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Everyone knelt down.

At this moment, Li Er stood up slowly.

He grabbed a booklet on the table and slammed it on Zhang Xuansu's forehead.

what?
Everyone was stunned again.

Could it be that His Majesty has favored Du He to such an extent that it's fine if he doesn't help Mr. Zhang, and even hits people?
Could it be that His Majesty Shengming has become fatuous?
Li Er said angrily: "Zhang Xuansu, what have you done yourself, you should take a good look, and you, you want me to be fair, don't you?"

Zhang Xuansu picked up the booklet with a look of grievance, and immediately turned pale.

What was written in the booklet was that he colluded with Su Hongchun, a rich businessman in Chang'an, and paid [-] guan, purchased grain on a large scale, and raised the price of grain.

Seeing the content, Zhang Xuansu knew that he was finished.

His original intention was actually to purchase grain on a large scale to make Chang'an short of food, and then asked Li Er to order Du He to close down the pig feed processing factory of the pig tycoon. If Du He resisted the order, it would arouse conflicts between Du He and the court.

At that time, the reward for Du He will definitely be reduced.

This is Zhang Xuansu's real purpose.

However, this brochure directly characterizes it as driving up food prices and causing chaos, and its heart can be punished!
Who wrote this?
Simply shameless!

pat.

The booklet fell from Zhang Xuansu's hand.

Zhang Xuansu prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, please punish me!"

Li Er waved his hand: "Zhang Qing's family, you are also a veteran of the court, that's all, you all step down!"

Zhang Xuansu shouted long live three times and left quickly.

The other ministers looked confused and followed Zhang Xuansu out, asking what was going on with Zhang Xuansu.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuansu kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.

Someone couldn't help but yelled: "Zhang Xuansu, old dog, I was scolded by His Majesty for him, but I didn't know he didn't say anything, hey, he deserves it, if I knew it, I would let Du He general Forget his two granddaughters too!"

Zhang Xuansu cried.

Cry so sad!
He no longer dared to ask His Majesty to punish Du He, it was a blessing in misfortune that His Majesty did not pursue this matter.
