Chapter 34: Return to Chang'an

P: New book period, please recommend the collection!

"Now that the court is employing people, Cui Aiqing, as an important minister of the court, how can he return to his hometown at this time!" Li Er sat on the top of the main hall, looking through the pendant in front of the Tongtian Crown, looking at Cui Shilang below, and as expected by Cui Shilang and others, he tried his best to keep it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is already in his age, I'm afraid I can't take on this heavy responsibility anymore!" Cui Shilang shook his old head and said sadly: "Please also ask Your Majesty to allow the old minister to return to his hometown!" ”

As soon as Cui Shilang's words came out, Li Er in the main hall suddenly fell into silence, as if he was trying his best to weigh the consequences of this incident.

The ministers below glanced at Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin and the others over there from time to time, and couldn't help but discuss in a whisper. And Pei Lian, who was sitting at the head of the ministers, turned up the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at Cui Shilang and the others over there, with a faint mockery in his eyes.

After all, these people didn't understand the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

"Now that the imperial court is employing people, the imperial court urgently needs important ministers like Cui Aiqing to share my worries!" After a while, Li Er's voice finally came from above the main hall, and his tone was still reluctant to let Cui Shilang return to his hometown so quickly.

However, as soon as these words came out, just as Cui Shilang secretly smiled proudly, he listened to Li Er's words, suddenly paused slightly, and then suddenly turned around, sighed and said: "However, Cui Aiqing is already old and Ai, and I am not an unreasonable person, and I am no longer willing to let Cui Aiqing return to my hometown!" ”

It was like a slap on the head, and Cui Shilang was stunned! With his mouth half-open, his old head tilted, and his eyes tried his best to see the imperial case and sit still after sitting still, he didn't seem to believe that the words just now came out of the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor.

Pei Lian, who was sitting at the head of the ministers, sighed quietly, and a sad color flashed in the depths of his eyes, I'm afraid that today's Cui Shilang is tomorrow's self!

Cheng Yanjin lowered his head, stared at a pair of bull's eyes, stared hard at the floor of the Taiji Hall, and seemed to see an extremely interesting thing on the floor, so that he was fascinated, but his shoulders were shaking vigorously.

Qin Shubao on the side, like an angry King Kong, stared at Du Ruhui opposite, and the staring old Du had to turn his head angrily, not daring to look at the ugliness of Qin Shubao and Cheng Biting Jin, he couldn't hold it back!

"Old minister... Old minister..."Cui Shilang opened his mouth half-open, and his mouth was silent for a long time, and he didn't say a reason. Saying goodbye to the old man and returning to his hometown was what he strongly requested, and now that His Majesty the Emperor has allowed it, how can he regret it again.

At this time, Cui Shilang finally understood the true attitude of His Majesty the Emperor, but unfortunately it was too late to say anything now!

Cui Shilang hoped that the few people standing behind him at this time could stand up and keep him loudly, as long as he kept him at this time, he could push the boat down the river and stay.

It's a pity that what makes him sad is that the few people behind him have become dumb and deaf at this time, and when he turned his head suddenly, he found that the few people behind him looked at him one by one with only a wry smile and helplessness!

Seeing such an expression, Cui Shilang didn't understand, he sighed in his heart at the moment, turned to His Majesty Li Er in the main hall, bowed down, and said in a chaotic tone: "Old minister-thank you for Your Majesty Longen!" ”

This uproar finally ended with Cui Shilang's dedication.

Next, no one in the court stood up and shouted to defend Zhao Yuankai, and no one dared to stand up and shout to punish Zhao Chen severely.

Li Er liked this situation very much, so when the eldest grandson Wuji went out again to ask for a strict investigation of Zhao Yuankai, he gave a decree to Du Yan, the imperial historian who was far away in Lantian who was pretending to be sick, to ask Du Yan to find out all Zhao Yuankai's crimes in the near future.

Du Yan Lao'er was originally very sick, and the doctors said that they were not allowed to suffer a little bit of cold, but as soon as Li Er's will arrived, he immediately got up energetically, and he couldn't see the appearance of recovering from a serious illness at all.

To investigate Zhao Yuankai's case, in fact, it is not difficult, all the criminal evidence and human evidence are there, if it were not for Cui Shilang and others in the court to obstruct it, I am afraid that this case would have been closed a long time ago, and now that it is investigated, it is just a matter of re-verification.

Although Du Yan is cunning, once he does things, he is resolute, unlike the old slippery head before, Du Yan at this time seems to have become an iron-faced judge.

In less than an afternoon, more than 30 cases, large and small, were interrogated in court, and Wang Ning took his servants to continuously bring the victims of each case to the lobby.

This guy's heart is hanging in his throat now, there are some things he is also involved in, if someone points out him in court, then he is finished!

The few people brought by Du Yan sat on the left side of the lobby, and every time Du Yan interrogated a case, they were there to be responsible for recording. I saw the pen in the hands of several people shaking, and the case files came out of the pen one by one, and Zhao Chen was a little admired when he saw it, not a person who eats a bowl of rice!

It's just that when he accidentally saw one of the case files, he rolled his eyes, no wonder these guys are flying like a pen, and they dare to lose weight!

A case that could have been described in thousands of words was directly reduced to a few numbers in the hands of these guys.

Zhao Chen estimated that this kind of case would be able to be understood by the people present, and if it was someone who didn't know, it was estimated that the rest would only be guessed!

Seeing such a case file, Zhao Chen suddenly lost interest, threw the case file on the table, and went back to his room to pack his things.

Anyway, Zhao Yuankai's end is already a sure thing, and now it is just a formality, and when Du Yan sorts out all the case files, he can set off for Chang'an, whether Zhao Yuankai is alive or dead, it all depends on Li Er's attitude.

When he returned to the room, Ma Zhou had already brought his luggage and came over early. He originally went to Chang'an to seek officials, but now that he has met a person like Zhao Chen with a background as a veteran of Tiance Mansion, how can he miss it casually, not to mention that Zhao Chen also admires him!

In fact, there is nothing to clean up, it is nothing more than the things that Qin Ming brought with him when he came, and Qin Ming has already packed them.

Du Yan'er still has to stay in Lantian to be responsible for the aftermath, Zhao Yuankai has harmed so many people over the years, and he must always compensate those people appropriately. These things have nothing to do with Zhao Chen, the business of his trip has been completed, and he is just staring at it when he stays here, so it is better to go back to Chang'an in advance.

"The chakra left in a hurry, and he didn't allow the officials to entertain him well!" Liu Huizhi, who was originally in the lobby, heard that Zhao Chen was about to leave Lantian, so he hurriedly walked out of the lobby and went straight to Zhao Chen's room.

"Hospitality is free!" Zhao Chen was already wrapped in a thick cotton robe, standing there like a zongzi, but when he heard Liu Huizhi's words, he still grinned, looked at Liu Huizhi and quipped: "If there is nothing else to interrupt, I think after the beginning of spring, I will go to Lantian and my party, and then Liu County Ling should not be stingy!" ”

Liu County Order! As soon as Zhao Chen's words came out, Liu Huizhi and Ma Zhou were both stunned, and after reacting, Ma Zhou suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, while Liu Huizhi was embarrassed.

But even so, in fact, everyone knows now that Liu Huizhi has already sat down for the post of Lantian County Commander, and as long as Zhao Yuankai's case is understood, Liu Huizhi will immediately take office.

"The upper messenger just said that after the beginning of spring, I will come to Lantian and my party, but is there anything wrong?" Liu Huizhi's expression was embarrassed for a moment, and then he remembered what Zhao Chen had just said, and immediately asked curiously.

"I'll tell you when the time comes!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he bought a pass first, and smiled at Liu Huizhi.

When the spring begins, I'm afraid it's not just Lantian, but also Xinfeng Wugong and these counties will have to make a trip, as for what to do, it's naturally for those new crops.

Now that he has traveled to Datang and has an artifact like the space-time supermarket in his hand, Zhao Chen always has to do something for this Datang.

This is not doing things for Li Er, but for the people of this Datang, Datang is not the Tang Dynasty of the Li family and one surname, Datang is the people who belong to thousands of Datang.

Zhao Chen is not Sun Simiao's old way, he can give up everything for some sinners in the war, throw himself on those people, and if necessary, even take out the prescription that he regards as his life in exchange for money.

Zhao Chen only hopes that he can do something in the future to make the lives of more people in Datang better, then he will be satisfied!

"That being the case, then the lower official will wait for the big business after the beginning of spring!" Zhao Chen didn't want to say, Liu Huizhi naturally didn't ask, and then Liu Huizhi waved his hand at Zhao Chen and said heartily.

"Liu County Order, farewell!" Ma Zhou also learned from Zhao Chen's previous ridicule of Liu Huizhi, smiled at Liu Huizhi and said goodbye.

"Brother Ma is also here to make fun of me!" Liu Huizhi showed embarrassment on his face, smiled and arched his hand to Ma Zhou, and said sincerely: "Brother Ma is talented, I hope that this time I can get an official position, and then Liu will hold a banquet for Brother Ma!" ”

Zhao Chen on the side pretended not to hear Liu Huizhi's words, about Ma Zhou, Zhao Chen from the bottom of his heart, in fact, he didn't want to let go, Ma Zhou was just as Liu Huizhi said, talented, and it was of great use for him to keep it.

Of course, there is also that Taishi Ling Wang Xiaotong, this old man can really calm down, it's been so long, he hasn't even come to him, even if he sends the Confucian student from last time!

After saying goodbye to Liu Huizhi, Zhao Chen and Ma Zhou walked out of the gate of the county government directly, without saying hello to Du Yan Lao'er in the lobby, and went straight to Chang'an. 211
