"We can't let this cool official's plot succeed."

Just when the crowd in the hall was angry and condemned Xue Dading, a voice was particularly loud.

The person who spoke was Zheng Hao, who was dismissed by Li Chengqian in Chang'an, and he was really envious, jealous and hateful to the important ministers around Li Chengqian.

"yes, you can't get away with this cool official."

……

As soon as these words came out, it was like oil on fire, which made the atmosphere in the hall even more enthusiastic.

When Li Bancheng, who had been hiding his face and whimpering, heard this, he pretended to wipe away his tears and raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

When everyone looked at him, he said weakly: "Xue Dading was originally a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, and he had the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court.

He came here to build a reservoir, and the canal was said to be to control the flooding of the Yi River, but in fact, it was to repair the Yi River, and from the Yi River, he sent the coal from the mountains of Yichuan County to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for steelmaking.

Who can stop what they're going to do?"

"Ahh

Everyone couldn't help but be deflated when they heard this, and there was a sigh in the hall.

Seeing this, Li Bancheng looked at Dou Lu Yan intentionally or unintentionally, and when Dou Lu Yan heard this, his heart moved, and he slowly stepped forward with small steps.

It wasn't until he reached the middle of the hall that he raised his hand to make a circle to the crowd and said, "Everyone, please listen to me." ”

Seeing this, Li Bancheng immediately asked sincerely, "I don't know what Lord Doulu thinks?"

Just when Zheng Hao looked at Dou Lu Yan in surprise, Li Bancheng had already begun to praise him.

Dou Lu Yan saw that some people around him who didn't know him were looking at him with scrutinizing eyes, so he smiled and said, "Gao Jian can't talk about it, it's just-" Speaking of this, his eyes drifted to the left and right.

Li Bancheng immediately understood, and loudly praised Dou Lu Yan and said, "Hey! Lord Doulu was born in the Changli Dou Lu clan, the nephew of the elder Lu Xianchao of Taichangqing Dou, he has been an official in Chang'an all these years, and he is by the side of Dou Lu, your knowledge must be higher than ours! ”

Li Bancheng's touting was very useful, and everyone in the hall was really interested in what Dou Lu Yan was going to say next, and some of them even pleaded out loudly: "Please also ask Lord Dou Lu to show us a way out." ”

Seeing this, Dou Lu Yan made a gesture and said: "My uncle was deposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of his advice, and I also resigned and returned to my hometown because I was implicated.

The outsiders didn't want to talk too much, but thinking of the innocent people of Yichuan, you were very enthusiastic, so I had to say a little bit of shallow opinions, and asked you to discuss one or two. ”

"Lord Doulu doesn't have to be too humble, what you say must be good!" Li Bancheng continued to praise.

"Yes!"

……

After Dou Lu Yan's performance of refusing to return the welcome and Li Bancheng's full support, Dou Lu Yan completely became the central figure in the hall, and even those who were originally suspicious of him were all suspicious, and stood forward, ready to listen to his high opinions.

"Just now, Li Langjun said that Xue Dading has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a backer, and he can do whatever he wants regardless of the lives of the people. This is not true or not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of a country, and in our opinion, it is indeed unattainable. But to say that it can go against the will of heaven and the will of the people, it is also difficult to last long, not to mention that His Majesty is wise and arbitrary today will not make such a thing happen.

Is it really able to make him get his wish for a while, and it is difficult for you to see the fate of the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who cruelly abused the people and died and the country was destroyed?"

As soon as Doulu Yan said this, a local gentry named Hong Tu in Yichuan hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Lord Doulu, please be cautious, this is a mess that cannot be easily exported. ”

Although these gentry were dissatisfied with the imperial court's practice of destroying Yichuan's feng shui canals and reservoirs, they still did not dare to let them immediately pull the flag and rebel.

When everyone heard this, they all felt that Dou Lu Yan had said too much, and some people nodded in agreement with Hong Tu and said: "This matter must be Xue Dading's desire to invite credit, and it is not about His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

They did not defend Li Chengqian, but left a little hope for themselves.

"Hahaha"

Dou Lu Yan laughed when he heard this, and clenched his fists again and said: "You have misunderstood what I mean, what I just said is the same as what you think, this matter is either not known to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Majesty is not aware of it."

In short, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty knew the details of the matter here, they would definitely not forcibly build a canal here in disregard of the will of the people. even killed tens of thousands of people in order to repair canals and destroy a place of feng shui, so you don't have to be afraid of that Xue Dading. ”

When Li Bancheng heard this, he hurriedly saluted Dou Lu Yan solemnly, and pleaded sincerely: "It's just that now Xue Dading doesn't care about the lives of the people, and orders to send troops to disperse my fathers and elders who went to Yichuan County to petition.

If the petitioning father is beaten, the people will inevitably have resentment towards the court, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

I also asked Lord Doulu for advice to save me from this disaster in Yichuan County, and Li thanked the county's fathers and elders. ”

Li Bancheng said so solemnly, some people in the hall also became anxious, and they all looked at Dou Lu Yan in the hope that he could say something useful.

Dou Lu Yan hurriedly replied to Li Bancheng with sincere fear: "How can I, as a scholar, see the people of a county suffering and not save it, here is a way to say it, everyone works together to save the fathers and elders of Yichuan County from fire and water."

I think Xue Dading is ruthless and unkind, the people still don't want to touch him, I am willing to go with Li Langjun to persuade the people to go home.

In addition, I heard that the history of the Los Angeles Dynasty has been patrolling the place for the past few days, and today is passing by. Dai Thorn Shi is the son of the deceased Shangshu left servant of the Daoguo Gong Dai Guan, the Dao Guo Gong is loyal and filial piety heirloom, Dai Thorn Shi adheres to the family motto of the Dao Guo Gong, and also dares to make a direct admonition to the subordinates and loves the people, and is deeply favored by His Majesty.

We should jointly write a letter to Your Majesty, and implore Dai Tingshi to transfer it to His Majesty's desk in Luoyang. ”

"Your Majesty is in Luoyang?"

Although Luoyang is very close to Yichuan County, the news is closed at this time, and Li Shimin did not publicize it in Luoyang this time, and some gentry who do not care about current affairs do not know that Li Shimin is in Luoyang.

Hearing this, Dou Lu Yan smiled at everyone and said, "When Your Majesty brought His Royal Highness King Jin down, Zheng Hongwen and I were also coming to Luoyang from Chang'an, and we knew about it very well. ”

When a group of local scholars in Yichuan heard this, they mistakenly thought that Dou Lu Yan had come with him, and they were all in awe of Dou Lu Yan, and they no longer had any doubts about what he said.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's write a joint recital, and then go into the city to persuade my father to go home. The big fat man Li Bancheng said with excitement on his face.

Dou Lu Yan smiled slightly when he heard this, and pointed to Zheng Hao who was standing beside him and said: "I admire Zheng Hongwen Zheng the most in Chang'an, Zheng is from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the five surnames and seven look at the world to admire, so I propose that this letter be written by Zheng Daren, how about we wait for the signature?"

"Good! It can be written by Master Zheng, and we naturally can't ask for it. Li Bancheng hurriedly agreed.

Zheng Hao stood by and listened for a long time, and understood today's events.

Seeing that Dou Lu Yan had done everything well, and gave himself the opportunity to get ahead, he was very grateful, and when he saw that a group of scholars in Yichuan County had asked him to write the main book, he agreed with a little reserve.

At the moment, Zheng Hao wrote the recital here, and I just saw a big boat coming from the upstream, and someone recognized it, and said to everyone in surprise: "God really helps me to wait, isn't that the boat that wears the history of thorns?"

Ignoring the continuous autumn rain, the gentry ran out of Linyixie one after another, and ran towards Dai Zhide's boat like young beasts.
