Tang Yuan took the horse known as "Little Ma Chao" to Danzhou to suppress bandits, and there were not many troops, only 1,000 people.

Ma Ben was originally born as a horse bandit, and grew up in a horse bandit den since he was a child, and he knows the habits of horse bandits well, so it is very suitable for him to suppress bandits.

Give him a thousand people, let Feng Chen supervise him not to cause trouble, and the rest of Tang Yuan will not care, and come directly to Danzhou City to see Yin Cheng Daren, the capital of Danzhou.

Before leaving, Tang Yuan asked Dian Han what his name was, and Dian Han said: Cheng Daren.

Tang Yuandao: I asked what my name was, but I didn't ask what my surname was!

Dian Han said: His surname is Cheng, and his name is Daren.

"Damn! This name is very advantageous when it is not an official. Tang Yuan dropped a sentence and left, when he saw Cheng Daren, Tang Yuan was not in a very good mood.

Because Cheng Daren is really a veritable Qing official, his family is simply too poor.

It's good to be the capital of a state, Yin, as for being poor and becoming so virtuous?

chatted with Cheng Daren and found that this kid is a stubborn donkey's temper, and he has always been serious about doing things, and he must strictly follow the "Daliang Law", but if there is a little irregularity, he will not be allowed to pass here.

This meticulous personality made Tang Yuan suddenly feel that His Majesty the Emperor must like it very much.

So he said to Cheng Daren: "How old is Cheng Fuyin this year?" ”

"Thirty-nine." Cheng Daren said.

"It's the prime of life." Tang Yuan said: "I suggested you to His Majesty the Emperor, what do you think?" ”

"What?" Cheng Daren smiled bitterly: "His Majesty the Emperor has known me for a long time, so I won't bother General Tang to introduce it again." ”

"Not really." Tang Yuan said: "As far as I know, although you were promoted early and passed the Jinshi examination, the first emperor didn't seem to pay much attention to you, and the current emperor Zhao Ce is looking for good talents, but unfortunately, it is impossible for the emperor to come down, and he can only wait for this person to recommend him, and a stubborn donkey character like you is difficult to be introduced to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Then why are you willing to introduce me?"

"To tell you the truth, I have a very unreliable friend, in fact, I hate his behavior, because he was corrupt and bribed, deducted military salary, and once deducted it on my head, that time we almost turned face, and even friends couldn't do it. This time, when he heard that you were going to sue the emperor, he was scared, and he planned to send someone to suppress the bandits, and at the same time, he accused you of colluding with the horse bandits. Being bitten by the deputy general of the Beijing Garrison, do you know what the result will be? ”

"I, Cheng Daren, am above board! I'm afraid of him for something! Cheng Daren slammed the teacup and jumped up through gritted teeth, pointed at Tang Yuan and said, "Then what are you going to do?" Do you want to collude with him and falsely accuse me? ”

"Master Cheng, I still hope you are calm and calm." Tang Yuan picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and stopped talking.

Cheng Daren sat down, calmed down for a while, and suddenly smiled: "You are officials and officials, one sings black face, the other sings white face, you want to introduce me to the emperor as an excuse, so that I don't sue him, such a trick will not work with me." ”

"You're not afraid that I'll fix you?"

"Don't be afraid! You can do it! ”

"Good." Tang Yuan stood up and said, "Even if you have backbone, but three days later, it's too late for me to make you regret it." ”

"I don't believe what you can do to me, is it possible, you still dare to let your soldiers arrest me?" Cheng Daren waved his big sleeves.

"It's really possible, but I promise, the reason for arresting you will convince you!" Tang Yuan turned his head and walked out.

"You're daydreaming!" Cheng Daren roared and shouted.

After Tang Yuan left, Cheng Daren's wife came over with a frosty face, and said indignantly: "Mengting, why are you so stubborn with the soldiers? If people want to fix you, won't they just put charges on you? When he catches the bandit and forces the bandit to bite you, what will you do? ”

"Humph!" Cheng Daren said: "I am a dignified five-rank official, if you want to kill me, you have to pass the approval of Emperor Zhu, and the person who interrogates me is at least a third-grade official, I don't believe it, and the third-grade official in the court is also a wine bag and rice bag." If the verdict is unreasonable, I will continue to sue until I reach the emperor. ”

At the beginning, it was said that it would take three days, but it turned out that it took seven days to suppress the bandits, and it was not light.

This gang of horse bandits is different from the horse bandits in Hexi, they are very cunning, and they are cunning. Tang Yuan didn't reprimand Ma Ben for anything, but after seeing the leader of the horse bandits, he asked the leader to frame Yin Cheng Daren, the Danzhou Governor, as long as you are willing to help, I will spare you from death.

Xue Yi, the leader of the horse bandits, agreed, and also found a lot of "evidence", the evidence is ironclad, and Cheng Daren is dead.

When the "authentication" and "physical evidence" were placed in front of Cheng Daren, Cheng Fuyin was completely dumbfounded, and Xue Yi, the leader of the horse bandits, insisted that Cheng Daren pretended to be a clean official on the surface, but in fact we were his warehouse. He has indulged us for many years, and it has grown to this day, and there is a pact between us, and on the day he leaves office, I will give him half of the money, and then I will wash my hands of money.

If this public case is sued, Cheng Daren's case will not need to be sent to the emperor at all, and Tang Xiao, the Duke of Chang'an, can even cut it first and then play it.

"It's just terrible!" Tang Yuan shouted angrily: "Cheng Fuyin, are you guilty? If you confess your sins now, I can plead with you in front of the commander. ”

"Confess your sins! I, Cheng Mengting, would rather die than join you in the same stream! I want to sue the emperor, I want to see the emperor! ”

"What a stubborn donkey."

Tang Yuan commented, put Cheng Daren under house arrest in the mansion, and then wrote to Emperor Zhao Ce to explain the situation.

The cause and effect of this incident were clearly written, and seven days later, the emperor's edict came down, asking the imperial court to try the case of Yin Cheng Daren, the capital of Danzhou.

Emperor Zhao Ce was also very good at playing, he continued to deceive Nafu Yin with Tang Yuan's lies, and at this time, the horse bandit Xue Yi was still complacent, thinking that he could escape. even dreamed of becoming an official.

In October of the seventh year of Zhide, the emperor canonized Cheng Daren as Jing Zhaoyin, replacing the mediocre and incompetent imperial uncle Zhao.

At the same time, he ordered to reprimand Tang Xiao for not governing the army strictly, and ordered him to review the corruption case of Dianhan, and since then Dianhan and Tang Yuan have turned against each other, because Tang Yuan has not concealed this matter at all, and said to Dianhan: "Now that I sue you, I am actually protecting you, if you change to someone else, I will sue you in vain, and you will be even more troublesome at that time." ”

Dian Han didn't appreciate it, and went to Tang Xiao to intercede, but unfortunately not long after, he was still removed from the military by Tang Xiaoge, but with his status as a general of the Tang family, and the face of the general's punishment, Tang Xiao didn't kill him, as for whether it will be enabled in the future, it is another matter.

And Tang Yuan didn't get better, Tang Xiao blamed Tang Xiao, why can't he talk about his own family's affairs, and he still has to go to the emperor to talk about it? You introduce a good minister to His Majesty the Emperor, what benefits have our Tang family got?

Tang Yuan was not a person inside and outside this matter, but soon after Tang Yuan received a secret letter from Tang Qi, saying that he had done a good job, and if the emperor wanted to stand up, he must have a few determined ministers around him.
