Chapter 157: Grievances
"Ying'er, how did you escape?" Zhang Chengye couldn't help but ask.
"I," Du Fangying remembered at this time, in fact, her father knew from the beginning that the imperial court would send someone to kill her. At that time, he was only eight years old, and his father looked at him lovingly, probably really unbearable, and finally he quietly sent himself out of the backyard.
At this time, she saw a pair of palace guards break into her home and kill her entire family, but her father did not resist.
In the crack of the door in the backyard, Du Fangying watched this miserable everything. The seeds of hatred began to sprout, and from then on, she wanted the Li dynasty to repay the blood debt.
You can't imagine how an eight-year-old child survives this troubled world.
She begs along the streets, barely surviving by stealing a little food from other people.
But how can it be so easy to survive in the troubled times, just when she fainted to death on the side of the road with hunger, she met a good family and adopted her. But the good times did not last long, and the couple who adopted her died in the chaos after Zhu Wen entered the city, when she was thirteen years old.
A thirteen-year-old child is already much stronger and more mature than his peers. Zhaozong moved the capital to Luoyang, and Zhu Wen ordered a large number of Chang'an people to follow.
In this way, she was exiled to Luoyang with the people of Chang'an. Soon Zhaozong was killed by Zhu Wen, and Li Ji ascended the throne.
When she came to Luoyang, she began to steal for a living again. She knew it was shameful, but she had to do it to survive.
So on the night the curfew was lifted, she was discovered by the stall owner when she was stealing a piece of baked cake, and then Li Ji rescued her.
She hadn't seen the emperor, but she knew the dragon pendant on Li Ji's body.
Because she clearly remembered that the day before her house was raided, the emperor had visited her house. She saw Zhaozong hanging the same dragon-shaped jade pendant around his waist.
At that time, she was too young to understand anything. I only remember that the emperor was crying, and her father couldn't help comforting her. Then her father knelt down for the emperor, as if begging for something.
Later, when her family was killed, she thought her father was begging the emperor to let him go. Who knew that all this was completely different from what he thought, it turned out that his father begged the emperor to kill him.
If Li Maozhen's army breaks through Chang'an City, it will inevitably burn and plunder. The death of his father brought about the continuation of the Li dynasty and saved the people of Chang'an City.
However, all this came at the cost of her family's lives.
Du Fangying wiped her tears: "It was my father who sent me out of the mansion."
Zhang Chengye sighed: "Pity the parents of the world, why don't you come to me?"
"After my whole family is killed, you will not be in the capital."
Zhang Chengye suddenly remembered that Zhaozong had not made a decision for a long time. Du Rangneng also begged himself to let the emperor kill him at that time, and Zhang Chengye was also at a loss.
When Li Maozhen's soldiers came to the city, Zhaozong finally made up his mind and gave the order to behead all the doors.
Zhang Chengye couldn't bear this pain at that time, so he asked Zhaozong to send him to Li Keyong to be the military supervisor.
"Child, you have suffered!" Zhang Chengye cried.
Li Ji couldn't help but have tears in his eyes: "It's Datang who is sorry for you, and I'm sorry for you." Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation! ”
Today's early dynasty in Hanyuan Hall is particularly heavy, and the courtiers are all behaving below, and Li Ji has a gloomy face.
"Promising, passing."
"Biography, the people's daughter Du Fangying has come to see you!"
Not long after, Du Fangying helped Zhang Chengye to come to this Hanyuan Hall together.
The ministers were all taken aback when they saw Zhang Chengye, why did he come?
"The people's daughter Du Fangying (minister Zhang Chengye) has seen Your Majesty!" The two saluted.
"Throne!"
The guards next to him moved two stools early, and Du Fangying helped Zhang Chengye sit down.
"Today's morning dynasty, don't talk about state affairs. I have something more important to tell you than the affairs of the state! ”
The ministers were restless again, what could be more important than state affairs?
"This is the daughter of the former emperor and prime minister Du Rangneng, Du Fangying Du girl." Li Ji pointed downward.
The ministers 'buzzed' and exploded.
Du Rangneng's case was originally a strange injustice for the ages, and the ministers had already planned to rehabilitate him.
God is pitiful, I didn't expect that there was still Du Rangneng's orphan alive in the world, and the court exploded for a while.
Dugu loss, the new prime minister. The master who is against Li Ji everywhere has a bad temper, although Li Ji sometimes hates to strangle him. But he also knew that Datang could not do without such a courtier.
"The old minister begs Your Majesty to redress grievances for Du Rang!" Dugu lost his knees.
Many old ministers who knew the inside story of the year also stood up and knelt on their knees: "Please ask Your Majesty Zhaoxue!"
This time, dozens of ministers in the court were surprisingly unanimous and asked for Du Rangneng to be rehabilitated, but no one objected.
When Zhaozong became Zhu Wen's puppet, he often sighed with Qingliu, regretting that he should not have listened to Prime Minister Du's admonition. If Zhaozong could listen a little bit, the Tang Dynasty would have today.
Du Fangying looked at these weeping ministers and was deeply moved. She used to hate this world so much, and this world brought her nothing but indifference or indifference.
But everything in front of her made her realize that there is also a glorious side to human nature.
Zhang Chengye wept bitterly, and he knelt down tremblingly: "Please Your Majesty avenge Du Xiang's grievances."
"I am not only rehabilitating Du Rangneng, but also avenging the grievances of Ximen Junsui, Li Zhoutong, Wei Zhaodu and others. There are also loyal ministers who worked for my Tang Dynasty and died at the hands of the rebels in the feudal town. ”
Li Ji took out a note and handed it to Youwei.
Youwei unfolded the recital and read it:
"Zhaoxue Du Rang Neng Equal System", which has Ren Chongzhushi, a heavy Taiheng, or entrusted with military power, or participated in the secrets, but because of slander, it eventually became famous, depressed I was so good to live, and I died by force. Ying Tianyou has come, and there are those who are not guilty of slashing and robbing, and the official capital will be restored. Its Du Rangneng, Ximen Junsui, and Li Zhoutong have been down, and with Zhaoxue, they have returned their ranks. Wei Zhaodu is in the Taiwan Division, every aspect of the industry; Wang Xingyu asked for a book order, and he could suppress it alone; To Shen Grievance, forgive me for this matter. Li Ning's articles are far-sighted, and he is out of the ranks, and he is squeezed to death among his friends. Whoever is knowledgeable, who is not consulted? It is advisable to wash with Zhao and still reinstate the official lord. ”
This is an essay written by Li Ji for Du Rangneng and other courtiers who died unjustly, which means that these ministers all died unjustly, and I will be cleared together and restored to the official title.
The ministers were overjoyed when they heard this, and they knelt on the mountain and shouted long live.
Li Ji stood up: "I will not let the blood of these courtiers be shed in vain, Prime Minister Du Rangneng, loyal to the country, with the body of unjust death to save my Tang Dynasty from fire and water, posthumously presented to the Taishi." His wife posthumously awarded the title of Mrs. Yipin, and his daughter Du Fangying took the order! ”
Du Fangying had tears in her eyes, and Yingying bowed. Now, her Du family has finally restored her changed reputation.
"After the loyal ministers, there is a female Du Fangying, who is gentle and virtuous, and has a decent manner. Canonized as the lord of Pingyang, rewarded a mansion, and paid 3,000 yuan. and twelve servants were given, and a hundred hectares of fertile land. His father, Du Rang, was loyal to the monarch and the country, and Zhaoxue was wronged. On the same day, the four seas will be announced, and the temple will be sacrificed to worship the heavens! It is advisable to spread the word to the world, and make it known. ”
The county lord, only the daughter of the king gets the title, such as Zhu Wen's daughter Changle county lord.
And Li Ji canonized Du Fangying as the county lord, which can be described as a great gift.
Although this is not in harmony with etiquette, there is no prime minister's daughter to be crowned the lord of the county. But this canonization, none of the imperial historians came out to impeach, probably they also felt that the court owed the Du family, this is the title she deserves.
PS: In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, only the daughter of the crown prince could become the county lord, and the daughter of the heir king could only be called the county lord. This book is not a historical fiction and will not be revised for the time being.
The history book "Zhaoxue Du Rang Neng Waiting System" is actually from the hand of Tang Zhaozong, not Li Ji.
