The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 916
In the early morning of the next day, after a long absence, Xuan Shijing rode to the gate of the palace on his long-lost dress. The gate of the palace had not yet been opened, and many courtiers were waiting outside with their cupboards in their hands. I can't help it, I have to walk back and forth outside, so as not to freeze my feet, and the early morning wind blows on my face, which hurts like a knife cutting flesh.

Xuan Shijing was wearing court clothes and a bearskin cloak, sitting on Ma Ye's back, it was really windproof.

Maybe Master Ma also felt that it was really cold this day, and he didn't want to stay outside the palace gate for a long time, so he snorted and seemed a little irritable.

Xuan Shijing knew that today's morning court would not end so early, so he got off his horse and handed Master Ma over to the guard at the palace gate to take good care of him. He tightened his bearskin cloak and walked towards Fang Xuanling walked over.

The relationship between Xuan Shijing and Fang's family is good because Fang Yi'ai played the role of a bridge among them. Today, if His Majesty Li Er wants to make some moves in the court, he needs someone to agree with him.

Xuan Shijing was soft-spoken, so he set his sights on Fang Xuanling.

Xuan Shijing didn't believe that Fang Yiai didn't bring up this matter with Fang Xuanling after returning to the mansion yesterday, so Fang Xuanling also had a reason for it.

Seeing Xuan Shijing walking towards her from a distance, Fang Xuanling also nodded to Xuan Shijing.

Only recently did Fang Xuanling smile and say, "It's been a while since I've seen Marquis Xuan in court."

Xuan Shijing smiled coyly: "After all, it's nothing important for the boy to go to court. Moreover, it doesn't matter whether he goes to court or not for this official position. It's just that today, I know why if I want to come to the house."

Fang Xuanling nodded: "That's right, it's just that we can't make a conclusion now about the outcome of the matter. Let's wait until the court to see the situation in the court before talking about anything else."

Xuan Shijing and Fang Xuanling chatted a few words at the gate of the palace, which made many people look sideways. After all, there seemed to be no communication between Xuan Shijing and Fang Xuanling earlier, but some people also thought that there was still It's not surprising that there is a roommate.

The palace gate opened on time, and all the officials filed in. After entering the palace gate, they went directly to the Tai Chi Hall to wait for the summons.

After queuing up in front of the Tai Chi Hall, civil and military officials entered the Tai Chi Hall one by one, and Xuan Shijing followed behind Dai Zhou obediently.

"Early Dynasty, Shi~ All ministers and workers have something to play~~~" Deyi's high-pitched voice echoed in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Initiate Your Majesty."

As expected by everyone in the Taiji Hall, the Yushi of Yushitai jumped out first.

It is the responsibility of the censor to hear the news, not to mention that the matter of Dang Renhong is already a certainty. Such a limelight will not be revealed. If they keep silent, they will damage the reputation of these censors. .

"Speak." His Majesty Li Er, who was at the top, had no joy or sorrow on his face, and looked at the Yushi below with no expression on his face.

"I heard that Mr. Ma Zhou investigated and dealt with Dang Renhong, the governor of Guangzhou, who embezzled millions of dollars. He has now been escorted to Chang'an. Dang Renhong's embezzlement is extremely bad and has a wide-ranging influence. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, such embezzlement cases have In fact, this is the first case, the minister said, the case of Dang Renhong, I hope His Majesty will convict him as soon as possible, punish him, and set the court order."

The words of Yu Shi Jin's remonstrance can be said to have been punished every word. If this is the case, Dang Renhong will definitely die.

After Yu Shi finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er did not speak, and the Tai Chi Hall fell into a brief silence.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at the officials below: "What do you think?"

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal." All the officials bowed their hands.

Xuan Shijing stood on the spot in a daze, looking very abrupt in the middle of the Tai Chi Hall, but she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seconded with the officials?Knowing that His Majesty Li Er's mind is still like this, it is really a fool, but don't agree?Stand out from the crowd?How dazzling.

His Majesty Li Er sat at the head, sighed, and said: "The day before yesterday, I saw Dali Secretary five times reporting that he was going to execute Dang Renhong. In the early court, I blocked you from the palace gate, doing so was to survive for Dang Renhong, but in the end I couldn’t achieve my goal, today, I will bend the law and beg you.”

With that said, His Majesty Li Er stood up and walked down the steps.

"The law is what the king receives from the heavens, and you can't break your trust because of selfishness. Now I am private, and Dang Renhong violated the law. I want to pardon him. He is messing with the law. He owes it to heaven. I am the son of heaven and cannot kneel down, but I beg you dear ones, please spare Dang Renhong's death, Dang Renhong's family and two sons died in battle, and now because of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, his father's life is about to be ruined. I really can't bear it, since I can't kneel down Minister, then I will kneel down and beg God."

After finishing speaking, His Majesty Li Er walked out of the Taiji Hall, facing the south at the gate of the Taiji Hall, lifted his clothes, and knelt down.

"I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I beg God to save Dang Renhong's life!"

His Majesty Li Er, who was kneeling outside, seemed to have tears all over his face.

His Majesty Li Er's actions really shocked many ministers in the court, and even Xuan Shijing's heart was stirred up.

Dang Renhong does have a very important position in His Majesty Li Er's heart.
The courtiers who reacted quickly came to their senses, came behind His Majesty Li Er, and knelt down on the ground one after another.

"Your Majesty can't!"

"From tomorrow onwards, I will live in a wormwood house in the southern suburbs, and eat a vegetarian diet once a day to apologize to heaven for three days." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling straightened up from her knees on the ground, cupped her hands and said, "The power of life and death is really in the hands of Your Majesty, why should you degrade yourself to such an extent?"

When Fang Xuanling said this, it also meant that he had let go of his mouth, not only him, but when he said this, many courtiers followed suit.

The majestic emperor of the Tang Dynasty went to the southern suburbs to live that kind of life just to save his life for Dang Renhong.

His Majesty Li Er knelt there, still silent.

The courtiers behind could only kneel behind him.

The sun is gradually rising, sweeping away the coldness in the morning, although it is much warmer, but where can it be so hot in winter?The stone slabs in front of the Taiji Hall are all chilly, and it won't get hot even if you cover them.

When going to court, Xuan Shijing only wore court clothes, and the bearskin cloak was kept in Xiao Huangmen's hands, but now she knelt on the ground and was frozen all morning, trembling all over.

"Why do you have to do this, Your Majesty?" The eldest grandson Wuji, who was kneeling behind His Majesty Li Er, finally said, "Even Your Majesty said that Dang Renhong's two sons died in battle for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and Dang Renhong usually also It’s not that there are no merits, merits and demerits offset each other, I think it’s enough to save my life.”
