The wind and snow are cold, and the dock ships are near.

Li Xuan wore a purple robe and a black fluffy cloak, and stood calmly.

Behind him, a whole team of red-clothed and gold-armored Qianniu guards stood solemnly, and after a short time, their hair was already white.

When the boat docked, Di Renjie, who was already standing on the deck, had already stepped down quickly, and said to Li Xuan: "Lord Wang." ”

"Your Majesty, after Di Huaiying arrives in Beijing, he will immediately enter the palace to face the saint." Li Xuan solemnly declared.

Di Renjie immediately surrendered his hand: "Chen Di Huaiying leads the order." ”

"Let's go." Li Xuan took Di Renjie's hand and got directly into the carriage parked on the side.

The carriage drove slowly, and Qianniuwei immediately got on the horse to escort him.

Wang Yu stood on the deck, with a full load of luggage, his eyes full of helplessness.

The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier.

The curtain was slightly blown up, but it was quickly held down.

Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Di Renjie, and said seriously: "Your Majesty is very concerned about the affairs of Hebei, you have to be careful, in addition, how much is the connection between the affairs of Hebei and the Shan Yu Protectorate, pick up the key points, don't mention the details." ”

"Has the prince noticed something?" Di Renjie asked directly.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Xuan just hopes that fewer people will die." ”

"The more people who die today, the fewer people who die on weekdays, the prince should understand." Di Renjie's eyes insisted.

"That's right." Li Xuan couldn't help but smile helplessly, and said, "It's Xuan's mistake, I have been in the East Palace for many days, and I think too much about the situation from the position of the prince." ”

Di Renjie sighed lightly and said: "Huaiying went to Hebei and worked hard to find out the truth, but I didn't expect that the prince was in Chang'an, and he could guess what happened just by guessing. ”

Li Xuan waved his hand calmly and said, "Xuan is just guessing randomly, without Brother Huaiying's verification, Xuan doesn't know whether his guess is right or wrong,"

"We all wish we were wrong, but who would have thought that the truth of the matter would be like that." Di Renjie's expression darkened.

Li Xuan smiled reluctantly, then turned his head and said, "What about Song Jing, when will he come back?" ”

"He still followed up with Cui Zhongcheng to investigate." Di Renjie shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Maybe Cui Zhongcheng didn't want Huaiying to investigate again, so he let Huaiying return to Beijing." ”

"Check it or not, the facts are all there, Brother Huaiying knows, Cui Zhongcheng also knows, Xuan also knows, and even His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven know, but I don't know how deep it is." Li Xuan's expression was gloomy, today's events are likely to reveal the big problems of Datang for a long time.

Di Renjie looked at Li Xuan seriously and asked, "Dare to ask the prince, if this matter is handled by the prince, what will he do?" ”

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment when asked, and then bowed his head silently.

After a long time, Li Xuancai said quietly: "The Tang Dynasty is an official, and the southerners have always been transferred to the north and the northerners to the south, build more official roads in Henan and Hebei, strengthen the exchanges between the people, abolish what should be abolished, return all that should not be occupied, directly behead those who violate the law, and return Hebei to a peaceful world." ”

Di Renjie's face finally smiled, and he arched his hand and said, "Huaiying really didn't see the wrong person. ”

……

The carriage stopped, Li Xuan lifted the curtain, and he was already at Danfeng Gate in front of him.

The palace gate is wide open, and there are many golden ones.

There was not a single official on the surrounding royal streets, Li Xuan took the lead, and Di Renjie chased after him.

Enter the palace gate and go up the golden steps.

In the Hanyuan Palace, the emperor and the queen of martial arts sat high, and countless vermilions stood on both sides.

Li Xuan entered the hall and took the lead in giving his hand: "The minister Nanchang Wang Xuan, I am ordered to lead the imperial Shi Di Huaiying into the palace." ”

"Serving the Imperial Shi Di Renjie, see Your Majesty, see the Queen of Heaven, Your Majesty has a long life, and the Queen of Heaven is blessed with Jin'an." Di Renjie said, pushing the gold mountain and pouring the jade pillar and kneeling down directly.

"Let's be flat." The emperor's gaze lifted slightly, falling on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan gave up, then retreated into the train, standing behind Yao Lingzhang, Xue Yuanchao and Li Xian.

The emperor looked at Di Renjie again and said, "Di Qing has been inspecting Hebei since the beginning of the year, what is the situation, let's talk about it." ”

"Command!" Di Renjie really got up, and then took out a book of music from his sleeve, Wang Fulai quickly came down, took the music chapter, and put it on the royal case.

The emperor just glanced at it, and then stopped paying attention, he wanted to listen to Di Renjie.

For a while, the eyes of the ministers in the palace all fell on Di Renjie, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Di Renjie bowed his hand in a deep voice and spoke: "The minister set off in March and entered Hebei through Zhao County, when the Turkic affairs had not happened, the people were stable, and the spring was busy and joyful;

In May, they came to Fanyang and Dingzhou, the grassland was stormy, and the people were awe-inspiring, and they were ordered to join the army and prepare for war;

In July, the ministers went to Jizhou, the Turks were uneasy, the people were panicked, they were busy with the autumn harvest, and there were sparse troops;

The war began in September, the autumn harvest ended, the people fought bravely and tried their best to support, the hooves of the grassland sounded, and the war began to ......"

Li Xuan stood among the ministers and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Di Renjie is worthy of being Di Renjie, after all, he is more tactful than Wei Zheng.

In the main hall, there are many people who are relieved at the same time.

Including Li Jingxuan, he was worried that Di Renjie would desperately poke everything out, so it would be ugly.

……

“…… At the end of October, the Turks attacked Dingzhou, there was a thief Li Jiayun, internal communication with the outside, Huo Wang was keen, timely response, suspicious soldiers to retreat from the enemy, and then reinforcements arrived, beheading 3,000. Di Renjie arched his hand and said: "Later, in the imperial history, Cheng Zhi, investigate the reverse case......"

"The result?" The emperor raised his head and stared at Di Renjie with a sharp look in his eyes.

He wants to know how many people are behind Li Jiayun's incident.

"Your Majesty." Di Renjie bowed heavily, and then knelt down directly on the top of the main hall.

The ministers immediately felt a sigh in their hearts, and now at this time, they don't kneel!

The emperor looked at Di Renjie calmly and said, "You continue." ”

"Whoa!" Di Renjie arched his hand and said: "The ministers serve the imperial history, impeach Jizhou, Xuanzhou, Yizhou, and Xiangzhou The four prefectures of the governor assassinate the history, pit the people, harm the people, abuse the people, and kill the people, please Your Majesty investigate in detail." ”

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became awe-inspiring.

Di Renjie is the imperial historian, and it is his duty to impeach officials.

Such an impeachment of the governors of the four states as soon as he opened his mouth is absolutely rare in this dynasty.

is a murderous Di Renjie, who is Wei Zheng in the world.

The emperor nodded calmly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and said, "You continue." ”

"Yes!" Di Renjie continued: "The minister was in Jizhou in July, arrived in Xuanzhou in August, returned to Yizhou in September, and went to Xiangzhou in October.

The land of the states, or the military aircraft close to them, are seriously wounded, and the family is broken; Or to flee, to remove the house and sell the land, people are not for sale, take care of their livelihood, and the walls are empty.

or there is a heavy official code to invade fishing, because of the incident, take its marrow brain, and have no intention; even built Chicheng, built military armor, state and county envoys, and ten times the military aircraft ......"

Li Xuan lowered his head, and Di Renjie finally said it.

Jizhou, Xuanzhou, Yizhou, Xiangzhou.

Aside from Zhaojun, Qinghe, Fanyang, Dingzhou and Jizhou, which are at the foot of Taihang Mountain and under the Great Wall, Di Renjie sued him almost all the local officials he passed.

And that's not even counting the places he hadn't been.

And what is the situation there?

The door of the house was broken, and the ten rooms were empty.

Officials knock on the bones and suck the marrow, and squeeze excessively.

This is the current situation in Hebei.

It's the whole of Hebei.

Most of the ministers were silent, but Li Xian was already stunned.

……

“…… The lawsuit is not reserved, and the expectation must be taken, and under the shackle, the skin is painful. Things are urgent, they don't follow etiquette and righteousness, and they are sad and unhappy. Di Renjie's voice became more and more urgent, and his words became heavier and heavier.

If you are not happy with life, life is better than death.

The ministers in the palace have bowed their heads in a deep voice.

Di Renjie looked up at the emperor and said with a solemn expression: "If you are guilty, you will not be at home, sleep in the grass, and sneak into the mountains; If you forgive, you will come out, and if you don't forgive, you will be crazy, and the thieves in Shandong will gather together. ”

The people did not dare to live in their homes, and were forced to fall into the grass.

Even southward to Shandong, gathering green forests.

"This sounds a bit like the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and not much like the Tang Dynasty under my rule." The emperor had a wry smile on his face, and then said, "I am guilty! ”

"Your Majesty!" The ministers in the hall all knelt down in an instant, looking terrified.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, get up, Di Qing, and you continued." ”

"Whoa!" Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Turks raised troops, but there were countless collusions between the four fields, under the might of the soldiers, or because of coercion, or willing to obey, or by false officials, or for comfort, or also foreign thieves, or natives, although the traces are different, the hearts are no different. ”

Internal and external troubles.

Hebei originally had internal worries, and external troubles were together, and the situation was immediately passive.

Di Renjie continued to give up his hand and said seriously: "Although Li Jiayun is only one person, he has been involved in countless collusions, but he has been captured all of them, and he has not even resisted too much, so he has already been arrested and explained everything.

The minister asked His Majesty to read that his people were helpless, and there was nothing to create, and he wished to pardon the Hebei Prefectures, and asked nothing. ”

Di Renjie kowtowed heavily.

"Bang bang bang" three times, resounding through the hall.

When Li Xian saw this scene, he was even more stunned.

Hooked up innumerable, how can it be hooked up innumerable.

When he was in the East Palace before, Li Xuan had already vaguely reminded him that this time the matter was not small.

But Li Xian thought that this matter would only involve the Li family of Zhaojun, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe, and dozens of other large and small families, how could it involve countless hooks.

This is countless, at least thousands.

Thousands of people fornicated with the Turks, what is this.

Hebei, is this going to change the sky?

……

The emperor glanced at Li Xian, his eyes were calm, he looked at Li Jingxuan, and then spoke: "Zhongshu Order." ”

Li Jingxuan stood up with a solemn face and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be in accordance with the law, those who should be beheaded should be beheaded, and those who should be exiled should be exiled. ”

Li Xuan glanced up at Li Jingxuan, now Li Jingxuan finally got out of this case, but he doesn't want to be involved anymore, don't let it be in vain is the best way.

Even if he was involved later, Li Jingxuan chose to be controlled by the law, this is his attitude.

The emperor nodded, then looked at Pei Yan and asked, "What does the Criminal Department think?" ”

Pei Yan stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, now in wartime, there is a reverse case, and it should be dealt with seriously and quickly." ”

Such is the duty of the penal department, and forgiveness and mercy are not within their duty.

The emperor turned to look at Li Xian and asked, "Prince, what do you think?" ”

"Father." Li Xian stood up and arched his hand: "Erchen thinks that what Di Huaiying said is reasonable, but the law has to be obeyed, so Erchen thinks that it is a serious offense, but there are human lives and harm to the country, and it will be beheaded; In order to appease the northbound, the rest of the people will be disposed of by one class. ”

"Not bad." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, Li Xian did this, which was somewhat similar to the mud, but those who could live the mud were all good hands, not to mention, there was also sharpness in his words.

"King of Nanchang." The emperor looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan arched his hand and said seriously: "Your Majesty, next year's big war in Tibet, especially the attack on Jianguan, the loss of soldiers is not light, Hebei has always been strong and heavy, and he will not return until he dies, which is just for the use of the army." ”

Minus one disposition, that is, exile, where to exile, Changzhou.

Li Xuan: This is filled in Li Xian.

"Left Phase." The Emperor turned to look at Liu Renliang.

Liu Renliang took out a book of recitals and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Dingzhou Assassin Shi Huo Wang Rail has a play: the war is full of ups and downs, the strong are on the way, the people are uneasy, if there are many arrests, it is to drive them to rebel, so please kill Jiayun alone, and ask nothing else, so as to show the grace of the saints, so that the people are stable and the army is worry-free." ”

The hall was silent for a while, and these rebellious people in Hebei had a deep relationship with the former soldiers of the army.

Once forcibly disposed of, it will inevitably lead to the shaking of the army's morale, and now it depends on how the emperor disposes of it.
