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

Tang Jian patted the letter worriedly, and said: "I'm afraid that what this letter says is true. The drought in Hedong Road has lasted for several months, so the civil uprising is imminent!"

Zhang Dun's expression changed slightly, and he heard some implication from Tang Jian's words, and said, "Master Tang, what do you mean..."

Tang Jian let out a breath, with a smile on his face, and said, "Talking to smart people saves you worry."

"I have said so much, but I am actually telling you to prepare. If what I expect is correct, your Majesty plans to send someone to Hedong Road, and that person is likely to be you!"

Zhang Dun: "..."

Hu Quhe sat aside, covered his lips and looked at Tang Jian in surprise, His Majesty is going to send Mr. to Hedong Road?

Tang Jian's words revealed a message inside and out, that is Hedong Road, which is now a dangerous place!

Isn't this putting Mr. at risk!

"Impossible?" Zhang Dun hesitated, and said: "The official has just become Jingzhao Shaoyin, and I haven't been here for a day, so let me go to Hedong Road?"

Tang Jian stroked his beard and said, "Why do you think His Majesty sent the memorial and letter to our Jingzhao Mansion? For the old man, do you think it is possible?"

He pointed at Zhang Dun and said with a smile, "These two things are actually for you."

"Think about it, you entered the court as an official with the status of the number one scholar in the imperial examination, and you were awarded the five-rank ten thousand year order by His Majesty after you came up, which is enough to show that you are in the heart of the emperor!"

"In the murder case that happened in Wannian County later, you were not afraid of the rich and powerful, and insisted on avenging the people's grievances, which is more than enough to show that you are an upright and capable minister!"

"And then there's the pursuit of the arrears."

"Your Majesty asked for the recovery of 800 million guan, but you insisted on recovering 600 million guan. Although it took 30 years, it was finally done."

Tang Jian said with emotion: "For a capable minister like you, how could His Majesty not reuse you?"

"Hadong said that such a big matter, if you are not sent, who will you send? His Majesty is not at ease to pick one person from among all the civil and military officials."

Zhang Dun nodded, Tang Jian's words made sense.

But it's about Ha Dong Dao.

It's tricky!

It is even more difficult than recovering the arrears from Baiguan.

----

At this time, in the Taiji Palace.

In the Ganlu Hall, the quiet needle drop can be heard.

Li Er sat behind the imperial case with an ugly expression, and looked up at Du Yan, the imperial historian who was sitting opposite him, and his eldest grandson Wuji who came with him.

"You two lovers, what do you think about the matter of Hedong Road?"

After a long time, Li Er's inquiry sounded in Ganlu Hall.

Chapter 229 How Can Zhang Dun Go Alone!you go too

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji raised their heads at the same time and looked at Li Er.

"Changsun Shangshu, would you like to answer His Majesty's words first?" Du Yan said with a glance at Changsun Wuji.

"..."

Changsun Wuji glared at him angrily.

Because of the affairs of the Zhengshitang, he went to Yushitai to ask Du Yan for an explanation.

Who would have thought that Du Yan would drag him over.

He also got a rough idea from Du Yan's mouth, and he didn't dare to jump to conclusions about what was going on.

Now the emperor asked, Du Yan pushed himself forward.

Old stuff!

Changsun Wuji cursed inwardly, seeing Li Er staring at him, bit the bullet and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I still don't know what happened, so I dare not report it rashly."

Li Er hummed, looked at Du Yan and said, "Du Qing, tell me."

"The person who sent the letter died at your censor's platform. You have seen the contents of the letter. You have told me about the supervisory censor. What do you think?"

"That minister has something to say."

Du Yan said solemnly: "What I suspect is that you can't fully trust the memorial presented by Sun Xue, the supervisory censor of Hedong Road."

"At the same time, we can't fully trust the memorial submitted by Hedong Daozhi."

"Of course," Du Yan continued, "I can't believe everything in that letter."

Li Er frowned.

Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, listening to Jun's words, it was like saying the same thing, saying it doesn't mean you didn't say it!

Du Yan said solemnly: "So, I thought that I should send another person from the imperial court to go to Hedong Road to see what happened."

"Then it will be clear."

Li Er took a deep breath, "Man, I have already sent you."

Hearing this, Du Yan froze for a moment.

Changsun Wuji was also stunned, already sent someone?When did this happen?As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the old man didn't hear any rumors?

"But the person I sent hasn't replied yet."

Li Er sighed, he actually had doubts about Hedong Dao's matter a long time ago.

This has to start from the first time I met Zhang Dun.

Back then at Zhang Dun's house, Zhang Dun mentioned the severe drought on the east road.

Li Er paid attention at that time, and specifically told Cheng Yaojin to send someone to Hedong Road.

A few days ago, Cheng Yaojin went there in person after recovering from his injuries from being beaten by Zhang Dun.

But here it is today.

Still no news at all!

Li Er wanted to wait a little longer, but he saw that some people would rather splash their blood on Yushitai, and they wanted to report the drought on the River East Road to heaven.

He knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

We must send someone to find out what happened!

Li Er's eyes turned for a long time on Du Yan and Changsun Wuji.

He looked at Du Yan and Changsun Wuji with hairs all over.

They faintly felt that Li Er seemed to want to send the two of them there.

"His Majesty!"

Du Yan suddenly bowed his hands solemnly and said: "I think that the eldest grandson Shangshu can take on this important task, so I will go to Hedong Road for your Majesty to have a look!"

"..."

Changsun Wuji stared at him, his nose almost crooked, you fucking, stealing the old man's words?

"Your Majesty," he also cupped his hands and said loudly, "I think Dr. Du is more suitable!"

"No, no, no," Du Yan waved his hand and said, "This old man's qualifications are still low, so it's better for the eldest grandson Shangshu to go!"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "The matter of recovering the arrears was caused by you in court. Without you, I don't know when this matter will be resolved. You have contributed a lot!"

Du Yan said solemnly: "This statement is wrong. If you want to say that you have made great contributions, it must be Shangshu, the eldest grandson. Although I revealed the debt in the court, you are the one who solved it!"

Li Er put his hands on his shoulders, looked at the two of them expressionlessly, and said, "Why don't you two go together?"

"..."

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji fell silent immediately.

The two winked at each other.

Changsun Wuji: We have been contested, and if we are contested again, His Majesty really let us go!

Du Yan: What do you say?

Changsun Wuji: Unanimously external!

Du Yan understood Changsun Wuji's eyes, nodded, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have a candidate who can definitely take on this great task!"

Changsun Wuji echoed, "I also have a candidate."

Li Erpi smiled and said: "Is the candidate in your mind the same person? Is that person called Zhang Dun?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji said in unison.

boom! !

Li slapped his palms on the table and said angrily, "Zhang Dun, a third-rank Jingzhao Shaoyin, can he afford this job?"

"One of you is the imperial censor, and the other is the secretary of the official department. Why, don't you have any responsibility?"

"Your Majesty, this statement is wrong!" Du Yan raised his head and said loudly: "The situation in Hedong Road is complicated. If the minister and the eldest grandson Shangshu go, it is easy to scare the snake."

"That's why I think Zhang Shaoyin is the most suitable!"

"Firstly, Zhang Shaoyin is upright, and secondly, he is also a capable minister! Letting him do this is better than ministers and grandson Shangshu!"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Li Er snorted coldly and said, "Then what are you two doing? Are you waiting for news in the capital? It's a good idea!"

"This matter started from your censor platform, not to mention that even you, Du Qing, suspect that there is something wrong with the supervisory censor Sun Xue of Hedong Road. Shouldn't you investigate thoroughly?"

"And you, Wuji!"

With that said, Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji opened his mouth, wanting to say what is the matter with the old man?The old man is a soy sauce!

Just passing by.

Li Er stared at him and said, "I know everything about you and Zhang Dun. In the previous imperial examinations, you were vying to be the chief examiner. I promised you, right?"

"The method of redeeming copper is the memorial you handed over, and I have promised you, right?"

"..." Changsun Wuji's complexion changed drastically, what the hell, you forced this old man into the memorial that the law of redemption for copper was changed but not abolished!

Why don't you turn black and white here?

Li Er raised his palm and patted the desktop of the imperial case hard, and said with a straight face: "Not to mention the matter of recovering the arrears, don't I know that you are behind the scenes to encourage Du Qing to play?"

"Why, now I'm going to send you to the east of the river, so you just push back?"

"This time I'm going to Hedong Road, I must send a trusted aide to be my eyes and ears to find out!"

"In the entire court, I don't trust you, who do I trust?"

Changsun Wuji's face turned green, what about playing the emotional card?If you say this, it's okay if the old man doesn't go.

"Your Majesty, I must go!"

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, Li Er was convinced of the matter, if he shirked it, he would not be offended, and then twisted and said: "But the east road is dangerous, isn't it best to go to a few more people? "

"no!"

Li Er waved his hand and said: "There are too many people going, it's easy to startle the snake, and this time, besides Du Qing and you, there is another person who will go to Hedong Road."

Hearing this, Du Yan and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and already guessed who that person was.

Zhang Dun!

Jane is in the heart of Zhang Shaoyin!

Li Er looked at the two of them, and said bluntly: "Zhang Dun is a capable minister. You all watched what he did after he entered the court and became an official, so I don't need to go into details."

"You take my imperial decree and go to Jingzhao Mansion to look for him now, and then go to Hedong Road together. It's not too late, and things will change later, understand?"

"The ministers obey the order."
