Chapter 59: Repentance
For the place of the prison, whether it is Dali Temple or the Shenhou Mansion, there is an "inextricable fate" with this place, because of the previous case, most of the guards of the prison know Xuan Shijing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xuan Shijing had the dictation of His Majesty Li Er, and he easily entered the prison, and the guards did not check anything, after all, the dictation of the Son of Heaven was such a thing, and the nobles did not have the courage to make up anything.
The conditions of the cell where Dang Renhong is located are not bad, after all, he was also a hero of the Tang Dynasty before, even if he got out of the cell, without a "special" explanation from above, the guards in the cell would not treat these high-ranking officials and nobles in prison badly.
If you offend people to death now, who knows if they will make a comeback in the future? After working in a prison cell for a long time, I know that it is much better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake, and I have nothing to do less to do those things that fall into the well.
This is also the so-called accumulation of virtue.
"Xuanhou, this is it." The guards in the cell took Hyun Se-kyung to the door of Dang Renhong's cell, took out the key from his waist to open the chain on the cell door, and invited Hyun Se-kyung in.
Xuan Shijing This is the first time he has seen Dang Renhong, Dang Renhong in the prison cell's gray hair has been scattered, it is estimated that he was escorted back to Chang'an by Ma Zhou on the way to suffer a lot, seeing that his age is about to reach the age of the sixtieth year, it seems that he has been indulging in pleasure for a long time, and he looks a little fat, but now the complexion on his face is not very good, and the beard under his chin is also messy, and he has not been taken care of for a long time.
Dang Renhong's body is passed on in civilian clothes instead of prison clothes, and His Majesty Li Er has not convicted him in the court, so there is no need to be so strict in prison.
"You are?" Dang Renhong raised his head and looked at Xuan Shijing, he had never heard of Xuan Shijing, he was not in Chang'an when Xuan Shijing left, and when Xuan Shijing came back, he had already gone to Guangzhou to take office for a while, so he and Xuan Shijing had never met.
"Xuan Shijing." Hyun Se-kyung said his name.
"Dongshan Hou?" Dang Renhong said.
Although he is not in Chang'an, but he is still in Guangzhou, he still pays attention to some rumors on the side of Chang'an City, some time ago Xuan Shijing was in the limelight in Chang'an City, and some news was naturally brought to Guangzhou, maybe Dang Renhong didn't know him, but when he said his name, Dang Renhong knew.
"Exactly." Xuan Shijing nodded.
"The Marquis of Dongshan deigned to come to see the old man, I don't know what to do." Dang Renhong raised his head and asked.
Xuan Shijing pulled out the bench next to the table, sat down and said: "Naturally, I came here for the adult's case, thanks to Your Majesty's love, and now Ben Hou still has the false title of Shaoqing of Dali Temple hanging on his head." ”
"That Dongshan Hou is really young and promising." Dang Renhong sighed with emotion, looking at Xuan Shijing's gaze a little complicated.
When his son died, he was about the same size as the young man in front of him, and if his son was still alive, I am afraid that his grandson would already be so old.
"It's okay, it's just that there is wine today and drunk today, who knows what will happen to him?" Xuan Shijing said: "In fact, Ben Hou is also curious, the party is the governor of Guangzhou, it can not be said that he is not in a high position, and why because of some yellow and white things, he buried himself, according to the power of the party in Guangzhou, if you say that you are making money, I am afraid there is no shortage of ways." ”
Hearing this, Dang Renhong smiled bitterly: "The door? What is the doorway? Hou Ye is talking about caravans? Guangzhou is not like Chang'an, if you say that the wealth is rich, just a few caravans, how much oil and water, people like me, the longer they live, the greater the greed in their hearts, I thought to myself, I was born in troubled times when I was young, and I lived a military life all day long, for the Tang Dynasty to fight in the east and west, when I got old, I thought that I should also enjoy the blessings, but if I want to enjoy happiness, I have to be rich, and the prince of the imperial court wants to come to Dongshan, and the marquis also knows that it is barely ...... to support his family."
From Dang Renhong's few words, Xuan Shijing probably understood that Dang Renhong was a pure military general, although he was high and powerful, but his heart and eyes were very dead, and he didn't even have too many fancy intestines, and even the "honest man" Cheng Biting Jin in Chang'an City couldn't compare, blindly thinking about enjoying happiness, but he embarked on a crooked path.
What to do to make money fast? Buying and selling officials, blocking roads and robbing, fish and meat in the township, conniving at his subordinates, killing people and selling goods.
He did all of this and enjoyed it as he wished, but after all, it didn't last long, and he was bumped into by Ma Zhou.
Moreover, even if Ma Zhou doesn't meet, there will be others who will top him, or Xuan Shijing will announce the investigation in Qinling to the public, and then go to Guangzhou.
"For you, Your Majesty is on a day off today, and early in the morning, hundreds of officials in the court are blocked from entering the palace gate, do you know?" Xuan Shijing said lightly: "It is precisely because of you, because Your Majesty knows that if the early dynasty is carried out as usual today, the folds of the Imperial History of the Imperial History Observatory impeaching you will be piled up with Your Majesty's bookcase, and today in the court, the civil and military officials will force Your Majesty to express their stance and execute you, but Your Majesty can't bear it, Your Majesty is still thinking about your past feelings for you, Your Majesty always remembers that your two sons died on the battlefield for the sake of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Dang Renhong was stunned and sat on his knees in place.
"Your Majesty said that your second son died in his arms, and before he died, he said to His Majesty that he could not fulfill his filial piety, let His Majesty take good care of your father." Xuan Shijing continued.
Hearing this, Dang Renhong's heart collapsed in an instant.
The eldest son was hit by an arrow and died on the spot, and the second son still had a breath left when he was sent to His Majesty by himself, but he didn't have time to send his son away, and he didn't even know his son's last words.
And His Majesty has never mentioned these last words to him, but after so many years, His Majesty has always remembered his son's dying plea, and has been silently taking care of himself, until now, when he has committed a capital crime, he is still taking care of himself.
"Your Majesty! Death to the minister! Dang Renhong knelt on the ground, slammed his head on the ground in the direction of the palace, and cried bitterly: "The minister knows that he is wrong, the minister, it is very wrong!" ”
"Your Majesty is still thinking about how to save your life, and let Ben Hou also find a way, so today Ben Hou specially went to the prison to visit the Dang Lord, one is to understand it, the second is to see if the Dang Lord is worth the trouble of Ben Hou to save his life, and the third is to let the Dang Lord take care of his body in the cell, even if it is not for himself, but also for His Majesty." Xuan Shijing said.
Dang Renhong was still kneeling on the ground and sobbing, and Xuan Shijing, who was watching, also sighed.
