Chapter 58: The Son of Heaven Favoritism

Deyi personally moved the stool more, and Xuan Shijing sat on the lower right hand side of His Majesty Li Er, constantly wondering what His Majesty Li Er was asking himself to do at this time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Has Jing'er been to Dali Temple on a business trip these days?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

Xuan Shijing shook his head.

Dali Temple is where he hangs his idle post, as long as he does not have his own case, he and Dai Zhou are also well water and do not violate the river water, although nominally it is a subordinate relationship, but these days Xuan Shijing rarely goes to see Dai Guan.

He, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is a position with empty salaries.

"Speaking of which, you've been on Zhuangzi lately." His Majesty Li Er said, and then sighed: "I have something that you need to do in the Shenhou Mansion. ”

"Your Majesty, please command." Xuan Shijing couldn't touch His Majesty Li Er, so he could only honestly respond.

"When Ma Zhou came back from Guangzhou, he gave me an excerpt and accused Dang Renhong of embezzling millions of bribes, and he also brought him back and was locked up in prison by me." His Majesty Li Er said: "Although everyone has obtained all the stolen goods, but I always think of the exploits of Dang Renhong and the old feelings of the past, if I say that I want to execute Dang Renhong, 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 civilian, I know that you have some livelihood in Luzhou Mansion, so I want you to help arrange it."

His Majesty Li Er himself also knows that it is already very difficult to save Dang Renhong's life to the greatest extent, and today he found an excuse to keep the courtiers out of the palace gate, which has already made those imperial histories of the Imperial History Terrace quite resentful, the early dynasty can't always be up, and Dang Renhong's affairs can't be dragged on like this all the time, what should come will always come, at least before the results come out, first arrange Dang Renhong's affairs in a good direction, so that His Majesty Li Er also has a comfort in his heart.

Listening to His Majesty Li Er's words, Xuan Shijing also sneered in his heart, even if Dang Renhong was demoted, it is estimated that he would not need to arrange it himself, even if he was a civilian, but if the imperial court could not track down those thieves' dens in the Qinling Mountains, Dang Renhong would still have a wonderful life in the second half of his life, at least he would not lack food and clothing.

However, about Dang Renhong's affairs, Xuan Shijing planned to go to the prison cell to see Dang Renhong before making a decision.

"Your Majesty, can you let the minister see Dang Renhong's side?" Xuan Shijing asked, "Besides, what is the evidence that Lord Ma Zhou brought back?" ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Yes, Dang Renhong is in the prison now, you can go to see him, as for the evidence, when Ma Zhou went to Guangzhou, he happened to encounter Dang Renhong's deployment on the way to kill people and cross goods, so Ma Zhou investigated in Guangzhou, I read Ma Zhou's excerpts, and said that Dang Renhong was in the fish and meat village in Guangzhou, and the surrounding people were already miserable, and there was also the book of the people brought back by Ma Zhou. ”

Book of the People...... This thing has come out, and it is no wonder that His Majesty Li Er treats Dang Renhong's affairs like a great enemy.

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

In Xuan Shijing's impression, His Majesty Li Er remembered the old days well, but during his tenure as the governor of Guangzhou, what Dang Renhong did was already angry and resentful, to the point that he had to be killed to vent the anger of the people, why did His Majesty Li Er insist on exempting him from the death penalty?

And the evidence in his hand about Dang Renhong's accumulation of wealth in the Qinling Mountains should continue to be placed in the secret room?

The room gradually became cold, and Deyi walked to the charcoal basin, picked up the tongs and added a few pieces of charcoal to make the fire fire hot again.

His Majesty Li Er rolled up his sleeves and said with a sigh: "Wei Zhengchang said to me that the Son of Heaven should go to the private public, but now I am full of private feelings for Dang Renhong, when Dang Renhong's family was for the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, the two sons all died on the battlefield, and the eldest son died in the battle of Xue Ju, when my army was ambushed, the platoon of arrows of Xue Ju's army was the first to penetrate Dang Renhong's eldest son, I saw with my own eyes, the arrow shaft full of his body, there were more than a dozen fingers, he lay on his son's corpse, wiped the blood on his son's face, Then he turned around and got on his horse and continued to charge. ”

Speaking of the matter between Dang Renhong and his son, His Majesty Li Er's voice was slightly choked, and the tragic situation of that year resurfaced in His Majesty Li Er's mind with the words, he couldn't forget how sad Dang Renhong was at that time, and he couldn't forget the firmness on his face after the grief, turned over his horse, rushed into the enemy formation, and continued to fight.

"Dang Renhong's second son died in my arms." His Majesty Li Er said: "In the fifth year of Wude, the city of Luoyang besieged Wang Shichong, and the army fought with Wang Shichong and his party. At that time, Dang Renhong still didn't say anything else, and after handing over his son to me, he continued to rush and kill. ”

At that time, Dang Renhong was a fierce general, for the Tang Dynasty, made great contributions, and because of the two sons, after His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, Dang Renhong's official became bigger and bigger, for Dang Renhong, His Majesty Li Er is also very trusting, Guangzhou is one of the most prosperous cities in the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty Li Er gave him the position of governor of Guangzhou.

"The second child still has a breath in my arms, and the child told me that he can't fulfill his filial piety anymore, and he wants me to take good care of his father, and I agreed, and he died in my arms!"

After hearing so much, Xuan Shijing was also moved in his heart, and it is no wonder that His Majesty Li Er is full of tolerance for Dang Renhong, if Xuan Shijing has personally experienced such a situation, this kind of thing will fall on him, he will also be unbearable, people will always have private feelings, and there will always be partiality in their hearts.

"The position of the governor of Guangzhou is deserved by Dang Renhong, but for so many years, I have never compensated him for his two dead sons, so this time, I plan to save his life, even if he is an ordinary person in the people for the rest of his life, it is better than losing his life." His Majesty Li Er said.

"I understand." Xuan Shijing arched his hand and said: "However, the minister still wants to go to see Dang Renhong first. ”

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

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

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

When people come to a certain point, they will really fall, and there are many examples of this, and it is not Dang Renhong alone.
