The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 912
Deyi personally moved the stool over, and Xuan Shijing sat on the lower right side of His Majesty Li Er, constantly wondering what His Majesty Li Er was asking him to do here.

"Did Jing'er go to Dali Temple on business these days?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

Xuan Shijing shook his head.

Dali Temple is where he hangs up his idle job. Usually, as long as there is no case that he handles, he and Dai Zhou are in good company. Although they are subordinates in name, Xuan Shijing seldom goes to see Dai Zhou these days.

He, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is an empty seat.

"It's true, you've been on Zhuangzi recently." His Majesty Li Er said, and then sighed: "I have something that I need you to do in Shenhou's Mansion."

"Your Majesty, please order." Xuan Shijing was not sure about His Majesty Li Er, so he could only respond honestly.

"Ma Zhou came back from Guangzhou and told me that Dang Renhong had embezzled millions of dollars. He was also brought back and I locked him in a prison." His Majesty Li Er said: "Although everyone got the stolen goods, but I always think about Dang Renhong's achievements and old love, if you say that Dang Renhong is executed, I can't bear it, do you understand?"

"Your Majesty wants the Shenhou Mansion to secretly dispose of those evidences?" Xuan Shijing asked with a smile.

"No, let the Shenhou Mansion collect more evidence that is beneficial to Dang Renhong, at least to save his life, and even if he saves his life, I'm afraid he can only spend the rest of his life as a commoner , I know that you have some livelihood in Luzhou Mansion, so I want you to help arrange it."

His Majesty Li Er also knows that it is very difficult to keep Dang Renhong's life as much as possible. Today, he found an excuse to block the courtiers from the palace gate, which has already made the censors at Yushitai quite resentful. Dang Renhong's affairs can't be delayed like this all the time, what should come will always come, at least before the results come out, arrange Dang Renhong's affairs in a good direction first , so His Majesty Li Er also has comfort in his heart.

After hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, Xuan Shijing also sneered in his heart. Even if Dang Renhong was demoted, he probably wouldn't need to arrange it himself. Half of my life will still be very exciting, at least there will be no shortage of food and clothing.

However, regarding Dang Renhong's matter, Xuan Shijing planned to go to the cell to see Dang Renhong first before making a decision.

"Your Majesty, can you let me see Dang Renhong first?" Xuan Shijing asked, "The other thing is, what is the evidence brought back by Master Ma Zhou?"

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Yes, Dang Renhong is in the sky prison now, you can go to see him. As for the evidence, when Ma Zhou was going to Guangzhou, he happened to encounter Dang Renhong's arrangement to kill people and steal goods on the way, so Ma Zhou investigated in Guangzhou, and I read Ma Zhou’s papers, saying that Dang Renhong was in the fish and meat township in Guangzhou, and the people around him were already miserable, and there was also the book of Wanmin brought back by Ma Zhou.”

Wanminshu. Now that this thing has been produced, it is no wonder that His Majesty Li Er treats Dang Renhong like an enemy.

"Even so, His Majesty still wants to pardon Dang Renhong's death crime?" Xuan Shijing asked.

In Xuan Shijing's impression, it is good for His Majesty Li Er to reminisce about the old days, but what Dang Renhong did during his tenure as the governor of Guangzhou was already outrageous, to the point where he had to be killed to vent public anger, why did His Majesty Li Er still Want to insist on exempting him from death?
And the evidence in my hand about Dang Renhong's wealth accumulation in the Qinling Mountains, should I continue to store it in the secret room?

The room gradually cooled down, Deyi walked to the charcoal basin, picked up a tong and added a few pieces of charcoal to burn the fire again.

His Majesty Li Er rolled up his sleeves, sighed and said: "Wei Zheng often told me that the emperor should go privately, but now I am full of personal feelings for Dang Renhong. In Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Dynasty, both sons died in battle. The eldest son died in the battle of Xue Ju. At that time, our army was ambushed, and the arrows of Xue Ju's army were the first to penetrate through Dang Renhong's eldest son. Seeing that there are more than a dozen fingers of arrow shafts all over his body, he lay on his son's body, wiped the blood off his son's face, then turned around and mounted his horse to continue the charge."

Speaking of the matter between Dang Renhong and his son back then, His Majesty Li Er's voice was a little choked up. The tragic situation back then came to His Majesty Li Er's mind again with the words. He could not forget that Dang Renhong How much grief Hiro felt, and he couldn't forget the firmness on his face after the grief, he got on his horse, rushed into the enemy's line, and continued to fight.

"Dang Renhong's second son died in my arms." His Majesty Li Er said: "In the fifth year of Wude, Wang Shichong was besieged under the city of Luoyang, and the army fought with Wang Shichong's party. Dang Renhong came here with his injured son. In front of me, the spear pierced his chest, dying. At that time, Dang Renhong still didn't say anything else, after handing his son into my hands, he continued to charge and kill."

Back then, Dang Renhong was a fierce general, and he made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Also because of his two sons, after His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, Dang Renhong's officials became bigger and bigger. To Dang Renhong, His Majesty Li Er also trusted him very much. Guangzhou was one of the most prosperous cities in the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty Li Er gave him the position of Governor of Guangzhou.

"The second child is still alive in my arms. The child told me that he could no longer be filial and asked me to take good care of his father. I agreed, and he died in my arms!"

After hearing so much, Xuan Shijing was also moved. It is no wonder that His Majesty Li Er is full of tolerance towards Dang Renhong. If Xuan Shijing had experienced such a situation himself, he would not be able to bear this kind of thing if it happened to him. Yes, people always have personal affairs, and they always have partiality in their hearts.

"Dang Renhong deserves the position of governor of Guangzhou, but for so many years, I have never compensated him for his two dead sons, so this time, I intend to save his life, even if he is left It is better to be an ordinary person among the people in the next few years than to lose your life." His Majesty Li Er said.

"I understand." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and said, "However, I still want to see Dang Renhong first."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "Go."

Xuan Shijing came out of Dongshang Pavilion, alone, and went directly to the prison.

Xuan Shijing is also very curious about Dang Renhong. There is still a big gap between the Dang Renhong heard from His Majesty Li Er's words and the actual Dang Renhong.

When people reach a certain point, they will really degenerate. There are many examples of this, and Dang Renhong is not alone.
