Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

If there is no such thing as Princess Changle, with Zhang Dun's ability, it is not impossible to win him over.

But, among them, there is Princess Changle.

This also led to the fact that he has no reason and it is impossible to win him over.

Pity!

Changsun Wuji shook his head, officials who can serve the people wholeheartedly, and those who are capable, can be counted with a slap in the court.

This time, Zhang Dun was determined to offend all civil and military officials.

If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself.

Who made him dare to be the emperor's son-in-law!

At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly ran in and shouted loudly: "Patriarch, Your Majesty and Empress are here!"

"Ok?"

Changsun Wuji was taken aback, what are they doing here?

He stood up, first cast a look at Changsun Chong, telling him to back off, then walked out of the hall quickly, and saw not far away, Li Er and Empress Changsun in casual clothes, walking towards this side.

"Minister Sun Wuji, I have met His Majesty and the Empress."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly bowed to the end.

Li Er smiled and said: "Wuji, the family doesn't have to be so formal, get up."

Changsun Wuji stood up straight, spread his palms and led the two of them into the hall to sit down. He personally poured a glass of wine for them before he asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, Empress Empress, what wind brought you to the minister's house together?"

Holding the cup in his hands, Li sighed, "It's not about recovering the arrears."

"When I think that the civil and military officials owe the imperial court 800 million guan, I feel very annoyed."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Isn't Zhang Dun already arranged to recover the debt?"

"Zhang Dun's ability is obvious to all civil and military officials in the court. If he does this, I think I can definitely get the money back!"

Li Er hummed, "Zhang Dun has already agreed."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up, "Then there is a reason for this!"

"Sigh." Li Er sighed, "However, Zhang Dun has one condition. Regarding the payment of the arrears, he said that he is alone and weak, so he thought you would go along with him to ask for it."

"..."

In the hall, there was an instant silence.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Er dully, and then at Empress Changsun.

Just say, how did you come to the old man's mansion in such a good manner, and co-authored to drag the old man into the water?

Do you think the old man can go?

Changsun Wuji looked at them speechlessly, and found out the money owed by the officials, for what?Just to dig a hole for Zhang Dun and let him jump in!

There is no reason to dig a hole by myself, so I jumped into it too!

Changsun Wuji said decisively: "Your Majesty, I think Zhang Dun alone is enough. If I follow, I will hold him back instead!"

"It's okay." Empress Changsun looked at him with a smile, and said softly, "Brother, there are so many people and strength. Your ability and Zhang Dun's ability can ensure that this matter is safe."

"Brother, listen to my concubine's persuasion. Pursuing the arrears from all the officials will fill the national treasury. As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Dun appointed you to take charge of this matter together. You should follow him to recover the arrears." .”

The corner of Changsun Wuji's mouth twitched and said, "Can I not go?"

Empress Changsun suppressed her smile and said, "Brother, Zhang Dun said that if you don't go, he won't do this job."

"At that time, His Majesty can only appoint you to go. Do you want to go to Baiguan to ask for money by yourself?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's expression changed slightly.

Li Er secretly gave Empress Changsun a thumbs up, or the Guanyin maidservant would say that.

"Yes, Wuji."

Li Er said with a serious face: "I have made up my mind, the money must be returned. If Zhang Dun doesn't do it, you are my confidant, and I can only rely on you."

Changsun Wuji's facial muscles twitched.

Isn't this forcing people to go to Liangshan!

It's all about this, what should I do if I don't go?If he really didn't go, and Zhang Dun didn't take up the errand, Li Er could really do something like let him ask for money by himself.

Changsun Wuji looked helpless, cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order."

Li Er and Empress Changsun nodded in satisfaction, then stood up at the same time.

"After all, it's my own family, and I still have to rely on you at critical times."

Li Er smiled and said: "I will go back to the palace with Guanyin's servant girl first, and you should also prepare to go to the Wannian county government to meet Zhang Dun, and be sure to complete this errand with him."

Changsun Wuji also hurriedly got up and sent the two of them outside the gate of the mansion. Looking at the backs of them leaving in the carriage, he raised his fist in displeasure, and slapped the gate of the mansion heavily.

boom!

"hiss!"

A piercing pain suddenly struck from the face of the fist.

Changsun Wuji gasped, looked down at the bloody back of his hand, and felt even more angry.

Is this how people live!

He also asked the old man to meet him at the Wannian county government office. The old man is the official secretary of the third rank!

Zhang Dun is the fifth grade official!

What's the matter, he was the one who came to the old man's mansion, so it was right to see the old man!

"Huh?" Suddenly, Changsun Wuji's heart moved, he narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. There was a solution.

Chapter 205 Zhang Dun: Asking for money is a skill

Jingzhao Mansion, in the lobby of the government office.

"Tang Fu Yin, why are you so happy?"

Jingzhao Shaoyin looked curiously at Tang Jian who was sitting across from him with a smile on his face and asked.

Since coming back yesterday, the smile on his face has not disappeared.

Tang Jian smiled and said: "I found out that Zhang Dun is a talent! This talent will be used by me in the future. Do you think I should be happy?"

Jingzhao Shaoyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But county magistrate Zhang can also cause trouble."

The imperial court just granted him an official position yesterday, and in less than a day, he offended nine Dukes of the state, and even arrested the Duke of Changping County!

Zhang Dun handled the murder case in Wannian County really well.

However, it also caused a big disaster!

Jingzhao Shaoyin said solemnly: "I heard that Du Yan of Yushitai in the court today revealed the fact that all civil and military officials owed the court 800 million guan. His majesty was furious and ordered someone to send the money Bring it back."

"I heard that Changsun Wuji advised Zhang Dun to do it."

Tang Jian nodded and said, "Well, there is such a thing."

In the morning, he was there.

Can you still not know?

But what does this have to do with me?During the court meeting, no one mentioned my name!

Tang Jian laughed and said: "Let's make trouble, let them make trouble slowly, anyway, we can see that the funeral is not a big deal."

Jingzhao Shaoyin smiled, that's true, Changsun Wuji and those princes were targeting Zhang Dun, not Jingzhao Mansion.

Although the Wannian Order is under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Mansion, the recovery of the arrears is a special case and has nothing to do with the Jingzhao Mansion.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the lobby of the government office.

"Where is Tang Fu Yin?"

A loud shout sounded in the courtyard.

Tang Jian was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and walked out, only to see Li Junxian standing solemnly in the courtyard holding an imperial decree in his hand.

"Guard Li." Tang Jian went up to meet him, and said in astonishment, "Your Majesty has an imperial decree for me?"

"Yes!" Li Junxian nodded, then spread out the imperial decree in his hand, and said, "Jingzhao Mansion Yin Tangjian accepts the decree!"

"Your Majesty, Wan An." Tang Jian hurriedly bowed to the imperial decree respectfully.

"Saint Boon."

Li Junxian responded solemnly, then looked down at the contents of the imperial decree, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty has a decree: civil and military officials owe 800 million guan in nine years, and my heart is restless! The national treasury has been empty for a long time, and the world is waiting for prosperity. Only by recovering the arrears can the people's livelihood be relieved and the court's predicament be eased. From now on, Zhang Dun is the imperial envoy to recover the arrears, Sun Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Yin Tangjian of Jingzhao Mansion are the adjutants, and the arrears must be recovered, and this is bestowed upon me!"

hum!

Tang Jian felt his head go blank for a while. How could this matter of recovering the arrears have something to do with me?

Tang Jian stood up abruptly, with a look of panic, grabbed Li Junxian's sleeve, and said hoarsely: "It's not right, it's not right!"

"It shouldn't be my business to pursue the payment of the arrears! How did you get me involved?! What does your majesty mean?"

Li Junxian saw that his excitement was about to lose control, and patiently explained: "Tang Fu Yin, this is what Zhang Dun meant. Zhang Dun felt that he was weak, so he wanted to ask you and Changsun Shangshu to help. His Majesty has already accepted."

"Hurry up and accept the decree. After receiving the imperial decree, it's time for me to go back and review the decree with His Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Li Junxian put the imperial decree in Tang Jiantong's hand regardless of whether Tang Jiantong agreed or not, cupped his fists and said goodbye, and strode away.

Leaving Tang Jian alone, he was in a mess in Jingzhao Mansion.

Looking at the imperial decree in his hand, Tang Jian was heartbroken to tear it up.

He is tense and weak?

No matter how weak you are, you shouldn't involve me in it!

Is this a matter of meddling with my instincts?

This is not fatal!

Tang Jian returned to the lobby with the imperial decree somewhat distraught.

Jingzhao Shaoyin looked at him solemnly, he heard Li Junxian's announcement of the decree just now, and asked in a low voice: "Master Tang, this matter seems a little strange to me."

"Changsun Shangshu encouraged Du Yan to go to court and expose the money owed by all the officials. This is digging a hole for Zhang Dun."

"Zhang Dun promised to do this errand, but it makes sense to bring in the eldest grandson Shangshu."

Jingzhao Shaoyin frowned and said, "But why do you want to bring Tangfu Yin with you?"

"Are you asking this officer?"

Tang Jian raised his head, patted the table angrily, and said loudly: "I also want to ask someone! The two sides fought, and they beat up the theatergoers! You said that the theatergoers were wronged!" "

After finishing speaking, Tang Jian stood up angrily, put the imperial decree into his arms, and said angrily: "I am going to visit the Wannian county government, and ask Zhang Dun face to face, what is his intention to drag me into the water?" for!"

After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage angrily and headed towards the Wannian County Government.

"Zhang Dun, come out to me!"

As soon as he arrived at the Wannian County Government Office, Tang Jian jumped out of the carriage and walked in roaring all the way.

"Tang Fu Yin, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Dun walked out of the county government lobby, looked at Tang Jian curiously and asked.

Tang Jian walked up to him excitedly, took out the imperial decree from his pocket, and said, "Come on, explain to me, what's going on?"

"When you were fighting with Duke Changping, I was all for you!"

Tang Jian opened the imperial decree, pointed to the words on it, and said excitedly: "What do you mean by dragging the old man into the water at this time?"

Zhang Dun glanced at the contents of the imperial decree, and couldn't help being amused, how fast his father-in-law is!

How long has the second uncle and aunt gone?

Less than an hour!

Did the old man quickly write a memorial and hand it to Li Er?
