The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 911

In August, the Hou's Mansion became lively. The reason was that Qiandui and Qin Yuxin's life had been going on for a long time, but finally the lovers finally got married. They came together and became relatives.

In November, Ma Zhou came back from Guangzhou. As Xuan Shijing expected, something happened to Dang Renhong.

Ma Zhou's memorial to impeach Dang Renhong had already been placed on the imperial case in Ganlu Hall. After reading it, His Majesty Li Er frowned and closed the memorial, looking at Ma Zhou who was standing below.

"Ma Zhou, have you found the evidence?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I went to Guangzhou according to His Majesty's order. When I arrived in Guangzhou, I happened to encounter thieves who murdered and robbed goods. I sent people to investigate secretly in Guangzhou. This investigation found the head of Mr. Dang Renhong, who indulged his subordinates. People murdered people for money, bought and sold officials while serving as the governor of Guangzhou, embezzled and accepted bribes, and stole more than one million yuan. The stolen goods were both stolen. The minister decided without authorization and has already escorted Dang Renhong back to Chang'an to wait for His Majesty to deal with it." After finishing speaking, Ma Zhougong Prostrate yourself to the ground.

Ma Zhou had a decree from His Majesty Li Er before his departure that any minister of Chang'an City could "do things cheaply" when he was dispatched abroad, and Ma Zhou had given full play to the rights given by these four words.

"Bring it up." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Yes." Deyi beside His Majesty Li Er replied, then walked out of the hall in person, and brought Dang Renhong into the Ganlu Hall.

Dang Renhong was escorted into the Ganlu Hall by two guards, his face was obviously much older than what His Majesty Li Er saw last time, seeing such a Dang Renhong, His Majesty Li Er felt mixed feelings for a while.

Dang Renhong lowered his head, but from the moment he entered, he never dared to raise his head, and did not dare to look at His Majesty Li Er.

"Criminal Dang Renhong, pay homage to Your Majesty." Dang Renhong knelt down, knocked his head on the ground, and did not get up for a long time.

Standing beside Dang Renhong, Ma Zhou could clearly hear Dang Renhong's low sobs.

If I had known this before, why bothered that if Dang Renhong behaved in Guangzhou, he would not have ended up like this today. He is a meritorious minister of the Tang Dynasty, and now, he should have worked for a few more years to enjoy the peace of mind. In his later years, he destroyed himself on greed.

"You make me sad." His Majesty Li Er looked directly at Dang Renhong who was kneeling on the ground.

"The sinner knew he was wrong."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his forehead with his left hand. He felt that he could not talk to Dang Renhong calmly now. When he saw Dang Renhong, his heart felt more like disappointment.

"Forget it, take it down first." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand.

Hearing the words, the two guards standing behind Dang Renhong erected Dang Renhong on one left and one on the right, and led Dang Renhong out of the Ganlu Hall.

"Let me take it easy for now, Ai Qing will step back for now." His Majesty Li Er said to Ma Zhou.

Seeing the exhaustion on His Majesty Li Er's face, Ma Zhou also guessed in his heart that this incident had hit His Majesty too hard, so he might as well not have followed closely. After bowing his hands and saluting, Ma Zhou also left the Ganlu Hall.

Until late at night, the Ganlu Palace was still brightly lit. His Majesty Li Er had been sitting in front of the imperial case for several hours, looking at Ma Zhou's memorial on the table, and no water had entered the current position.

"Your Majesty." Deyi stepped forward and called softly: "Even if it's a big case, you can't make trouble with your body."

His Majesty Li Er straightened up, got up from the couch, moved his hands and feet, and then said: "I can't eat anymore."

Deyi knew in his heart that this time, Dang Renhong embezzled millions and committed a capital crime, but His Majesty is a nostalgic person, and he is not willing to sentence Dang Renhong to death. .

But what can he do as a servant and eunuch?What can be done is to accompany His Majesty Li Er, but now His Majesty does not eat or drink, how to make people not worry, Deyi is also worried. If this continues, if Dang Renhong does not collapse, His Majesty's body will collapse first .

His Majesty Li Er walked outside the Ganlu Hall, looked up at the starry sky, but he kept sighing in his heart.

This matter, tomorrow morning can't be covered, right?

A governor of Guangzhou was escorted back to Chang'an. Everyone knew that something must have happened.

Dang Renhong, is it really a dead end?
"Deyi, pass on the decree. I'm not feeling well. I'll take a day off tomorrow. Send someone to Dongshan County to call me the Marquis of Dongshan." His Majesty Li Er said.

"No." Deyi responded.

Indeed, as His Majesty Li Er expected, this matter cannot be covered up in the court, and the censors and officials in the court have already tried their best to make a big fuss about Dang Renhong to show themselves , but when he arrived at the gate of the palace the next day, he was stopped by the guards in the palace, saying that His Majesty has an order and is not feeling well, so he will not go to court today.

All the ministers waiting at the gate of the palace were stunned.

Not going to court?

Changsun Wuji was standing outside the gate of the palace with Wuban in his court attire, then he walked up to the guards and said, "Can you send a message that Changsun Wuji is asking to see you outside the palace?"

The guard was very apologetic, and cupped his hands to Changsun Wuji: "My lord, don't make things difficult for me."

The guard's attitude was so resolute, he must have got the order of the palace, Changsun Wuji knew it in his heart, and he didn't bother him any more.

Even the people from Yushitai didn't say much. The matter of Dang Renhong couldn't be solved by delaying for another day. The certification without certificates was all placed on His Majesty's desk, and it became a final matter. What the hell, even if it's a day late, so what?

Even Changsun Wuji can't enter the palace, let alone them.

Many officials gathered outside the palace gate for a while, and then they left. The palace gate returned to the coldness of the past.

.Not long after the ministers left, a BMW appeared outside the palace gate, and the person sitting on the BMW's back was none other than Xuan Shijing.

When Xuan Shijing entered the palace, the guards at the gate of the palace did not stop him, they just detained his horse, and the palace cannot ride horses at will.

Xuan Shijing entered the palace unimpeded all the way, and walked towards Dongshang Pavilion.

He was also curious why His Majesty Li Er summoned him today, why did he go to Dongshang Pavilion instead of Ganlu Hall.

Dongshang Pavilion is the sleeping hall of His Majesty Li Er.
"Minister, see Your Majesty." Entering the hall, Xuan Shijing saw His Majesty Li Er sitting on the couch very casually, still holding a memorial in his hand for review.

For His Majesty Li Er, Dongshang Pavilion and Ganlu Hall are actually no different. They both handle government affairs in the same way, but Ganlu Hall can be more formal, while Dongshang Pavilion does not have so many constraints. It's okay to be casual and loose.

"There's no need to be too polite, Deyi, find Jing'er a chair to sit on." His Majesty Li Er ordered.

"promise."
