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

He paid the loan in installments.

Zhang Dun had an excuse to let other officials do the same.

The money owed is repaid in 30 years, and after one year, compared with the principal, there is not much interest.

Of course, I can't help but count carefully.

If you really add up all the interest for 30 years, it is definitely not a small amount.

Why are the officials willing to agree?

Because, among those ministers who owe money, few of them have gray temples.

For 30 years, it is still unknown whether they can live to that day.

That's why they are willing.

"Tall, you're still taller!"

Tang Jian exclaimed, "Hundred officials are willing to divide it into 30 years, whether they can pay back at that time or not, it doesn't matter to you and me!"

"The most important thing is that we can do business for His Majesty!"

Tang Jian looked down at the content on the paper, and said happily: "600 million guan, which is twice as much as the amount requested by His Majesty. If His Majesty sees the amount, he will definitely not blame us!"

"Besides, why should he blame him?"

"He should reward us!"

After finishing speaking, Tang Jian couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Where is Zhang Dun, the ten thousand year order!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the county government courtyard.

Zhang Dun turned his head and saw a eunuch wearing eunuch robes, holding the imperial decree high in his hand, walking over with a solemn expression.

Holy decree!

Tang Jian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, he tugged Zhang Dun's sleeve excitedly, and said, "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, county magistrate Zhang, His Majesty has sent you an imperial edict!"

"Go, hurry up and take the order!"

Being dragged out of the county government hall by Tang Jian, Zhang Dun couldn't laugh or cry, who is this decree for? Why are you more anxious than me!

The eunuch in the palace looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has an order, and County Magistrate Zhang accepts the order!"

Zhang Dun slightly cupped his hands towards the imperial decree, "Your Majesty, Wanan."

Tang Jian also hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands.

"Saint Gong'an!"

The eunuch in the palace hummed, then opened the imperial decree, and read aloud:

"Holy edict: I ordered Zhang Dun to be the imperial envoy to recover the arrears. This time, Zhang Aiqing is able to handle the arrears. I am very relieved!"

"I said in the early court that I will reward those who make contributions in recovering the debts!"

"Zhang Aiqing not only recovered the 800 million guan that I asked for, but also recovered 800 million more guan. Why not reward this effort?"

"From now on, Zhang Dun will be promoted to the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion, and the official residence will be from the third rank, wearing a purple robe! If you join Zhizhengshi, you can enter the Zhengshitang!"

"This!!"

After finishing speaking, the eunuch in the palace combined the imperial decree in his hands and solemnly handed it to Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun was stunned.

Tang Jian was stunned than him.

In Tang Jian's view, Zhang Dun's promotion was a matter of course.

It was too late for Tang Jian to be happy when he was asked to be the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion.

To his surprise, His Majesty asked him to participate in political affairs!

Participating in political affairs means entering the political affairs hall.

Zhengshitang, that's where the prime ministers discuss their affairs!

Even Tang Jian is not qualified to participate in political affairs!

Now, Zhang Dun has the qualifications!

After the eunuch in the palace left, Tang Jian looked at Zhang Dun enviously, "From today on, you are not only the Shao Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, but you can also enter the political affairs hall. It is no exaggeration to say that you are the prime minister."

Zhang Dun nodded, he had heard of Zhengshitang before he traveled here.

To put it bluntly, it is a place where a bunch of bigwigs hold meetings.

"Is it right for me to go?" Zhang Dun frowned and said.

In the past, he had no intention of governing.

Since he was cheated to participate in the imperial examination, he also entered the court and became an official for ten thousand years.

Zhang Dun thought, if he can do a good job, he will make this official a good one. After a year or two, he will report to the court to see if he can let Hu Quhe take over his class.

Then he took Li Lizhi to be free and easy.

It's good now, this is my first few days as an official!

I have already participated in political affairs!

Is this the result you want?

Run in the opposite direction!

Chapter 225 Today, the Political Affairs Hall Discusses

Tang Jian pondered and said: "Don't say it's you, I also wonder if it's appropriate for you to participate in political affairs at such a young age."

"But it's useless if you and I think about it!"

Tang Jian said solemnly: "After all, this is a reward from His Majesty! Your Majesty is very satisfied with your achievements. His Majesty intends to promote you. Don't you want to?"

"It's useless if you don't want to."

As he said that, Tang Jian patted Zhang Dun's shoulder heavily, and said, "Magistrate Zhang...ah no, Zhang Shaoyin, all officials will not be in the morning court tomorrow, but the ministers who are in charge of political affairs will go to the political affairs hall to discuss matters, you Don't forget about it tomorrow."

"The old man has gone back."

As he said that, he waved his hand and said to Zhang Dun, "It won't be too late for you to come to Jingzhao Mansion after you finish discussing in the Political Affairs Hall!"

Zhang Dun hummed, and sent him outside the county government office. Looking at his leaving back, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir," Hu Quhe looked at him curiously and said, "Why are you sighing, you are now the prime minister!"

Zhang Dun took a look at her and said, "It would be fine if you did it."

Hu Quhe smiled and said: "The slave family can't be the prime minister, if you can accompany the master to practice, the slave family will be satisfied."

Zhang Dun raised his palm and knocked on her head. Amidst Hu Quhe's pain, he said with a straight face: "You have to have ambition, you know?"

Hu Quhe blushed and said, "Good sir!"

"tomorrow."

Zhang Dun raised his head, glanced at the darkened sky, and sighed again.

I always feel that tomorrow's political affairs hall will not go so smoothly.

After all, the recovery of the arrears this time offended all civil and military officials.

Especially those dukes.

Presumably, they should also be present.

What will they do when they get into trouble?

Furthermore, it is Hu Quhe.

Zhang Dun glanced at the female disciple out of the corner of his eye, and wondered if he could bring her with him to the Political Affairs Hall.

"Qu He, tomorrow..."

Zhang Dun pondered for a while, and said: "You go to Jingzhao Mansion and wait for me now, and I will go to the Zhengshitang first."

He thought about taking her with him, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't be in such a hurry.

Tang Jian definitely has no objection to going to Jingzhao Mansion to serve as the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion.

However, taking Hu Quhe to the Zhengshitang, I am afraid that the prime ministers will have a lot of opinions.

Wait until tomorrow and ask first.

If the prime ministers had no objections, it would not be too late to bring Hu Quhe with him.

"Okay sir!" Hu Quhe nodded emphatically.

----

That night, Zhang Dun and Hu Quhe returned to Zuixian Tower together, and Hu Guang ate three bowls of rice excitedly to celebrate him.

That night, Zhang Dun was thinking about whether Hu Guang ate three bowls of rice because he was hungry or because he was serious.

And at night, Fang Xuanling's mansion was brightly lit.

There were many people sitting in the hall.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were there, as were Li Jing, Li Daozong, Duan Lun, and Dou Lukuan.

Six people drank without saying a word.

After a long time, Fang Xuanling said: "Everyone, don't just drink."

After speaking, he looked at Li Daozong.

Li Daozong thought for a while, then picked up the chopsticks, put the dish in his mouth.

"..." Fang Xuanling stared at him. If eyes could kill, Li Daozong would have died no less than ten times.

Damn, tell you not to just drink, do you mean to let you eat more vegetables?

Fang Xuanling didn't bother to pay attention to him, looked at Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Duan Lun, Dou Lukuan, and said in a deep voice:

"Tomorrow morning, the Political Affairs Hall will discuss matters."

"This time is different from the past. Brother Keming said that there will be one more person."

"And this person!"

Fang Xuanling said word by word: "It is Zhang Dun who knows us!"

"Tell me, what should I do?"

"Can't we go to the Political Affairs Hall tomorrow and be recognized by Zhang Dun? Once he recognizes us, His Majesty will not be able to hide our identities."

As soon as the words fell, the hall became silent again.

Li Daozong stopped eating, and muttered: "Your Majesty, too, knowing that Zhang Dun knows us, but insisting on letting him participate in political affairs, isn't this cheating himself?"

"That's the problem." Du Ruhui sighed, "Your Majesty's meaning is that Zhang Dun must participate in political affairs and must participate in the political affairs hall. However, we must also keep it from Zhang Dun and not let Zhang Dun It is his second uncle's business to know His Majesty."

Dou Lukuan frowned and said, "It's okay for us to hide other things, but how did we hide this matter? Unless, Zhang Dun can't go to the Political Affairs Hall!"

"what do you mean……"

Li Jing frowned, and drew a knife on his neck.

Dou Lukuan glared at him, "This is a good idea, you can do it!"

Li Jing said with a dry smile, "I'm just joking, what are you serious about?"

Dou Lukuan snorted coldly, I'll give you ten guts, how dare you hurt Zhang Dun?If you really want to do that, you don't know who will hurt whom.

Looking at them, Fang Xuanling felt a big headache and said, "Everyone, now is not the time to chat, let's brainstorm and see if we can find a way."

"It's not that there is no way." Duan Lun said suddenly: "If you want to prevent Zhang Dun from recognizing us, let's not go to the Political Affairs Hall tomorrow, that's all right?"

"I've thought about it too." Fang Xuanling hummed, and said, "However, once or twice is fine, we can't go on like this forever."

Duan Lun shook his head and said, "Let's get through this first, and then we can figure out a way."

Fang Xuanling pondered, glanced at the others, and asked, "What do you think?"
