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

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji stood up helplessly, cupped their hands and said.

Soon, the two received the imperial edict and headed towards Jingzhao Mansion.

"What do you call this!"

Leaving the palace, Changsun Wuji said with a sad face, "I just paid the errand to pay the debt, and now I got another errand. This job is more difficult than paying the arrears. Is the old man unlucky?"

"Dugong, it's not the old man talking about you."

Changsun Wuji stared at Du Yan and said, "You shouldn't get involved in this matter!"

The corner of Du Yan's mouth twitched, and he said, "Who knew this matter would be so difficult!"

Before dealing with this matter, he never thought that it would be so troublesome.

After all, there is a supervisory censor on Hedong Road!

What the result is, let the supervisory censor know in a memorial.

However, the problem lies in the supervisory censor!

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Old man, remember, there are people from Yushitai on the other side of Hedong Road, how did it end up in such a way that you don't trust your own people?"

"What's the reason?"

Du Yan sighed, and said: "The old man suspects that Sun Xue, the supervisory censor in Hedong Road, may not be able to help himself."

Seeing Changsun Wuji's more confused expression, Du Yan continued:

"The old man has been in charge of Yushitai for some years, and he has established many rules during that time."

"It's like the rules of the memorial."

"If the supervisory censor from other places submits the memorial himself, it has nothing to do with the old man."

"But if the old man sends a letter and asks him to present it, he must mark a special mark on the memorial."

Du Yan said solemnly: "But this time, there is no sign prescribed by the old man in Sun Xue's memorial."

"So, I can't believe what he wrote in the memorial."

"This is why His Majesty is also suspicious."

"Therefore, it is imperative to send people to Hedong Road this time."

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "If that's the case, then Hedong Dao is really a dangerous place."

"Isn't it dangerous for you and me to go this time?"

Du Yan hummed, looked at him and said: "It's natural, the old man is already thinking about how many people to bring."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Didn't your majesty say that you can't bring too many people with you, and it's easy to scare the snake."

"How about this," he thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to Jingzhao Mansion first, and listen to what Zhang Dun said. This time he went to Hedong Road, and he was among them."

Du Yan nodded slightly, "Success."

Before doing it, he didn't think it was useful to ask Zhang Dun.

But today is different.

In the Wannian County murder case and the recovery of the debts owed by hundreds of officials, Zhang Dun's performance can be described as "outstanding", which is not too much.

This is a capable minister!

Du Yan felt that his opinion was very important.

Soon, the two came to Jingzhao Mansion, and before they entered, they saw a young man wearing a purple official robe, standing at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion with his hands behind his back.

"Zhang Dun?"

Changsun Wuji looked at him in surprise, "If you don't go in and do something, what are you doing here?"

In this era, there is already a saying of fishing?Zhang Dun laughed dryly, did not respond to his words, but cupped his hands and said:

"The lower officials have met the grandson Shangshu and Dr. Du."

Du Yan hummed and bowed his hands in return.

Changsun Wuji also cupped his hands, and after returning the salute, he asked curiously: "If you haven't replied to the old man, why are you standing here?"

Zhang Dun said solemnly: "Your Majesty sent someone to send a letter and a memorial to Jingzhao Mansion today."

"After looking at it, the lower officials found that there is a great possibility that something serious happened on the east side of the road."

"The lower official guessed that His Majesty might send the lower official to Hedong Road, so he waited here for someone from the palace."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dun looked at Changsun Wuji and Du Yan strangely, and said, "Shangsun Shangshu, Doctor Du, you are coming to Jingzhao Mansion at this time, will your Majesty send you to Hedong Road together?"

"You guessed right."

Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "The situation on Hedong Road is more complicated. Your Majesty ordered the old man and Dr. Du, plus you, the three of us will go to Hedong Road to see what's going on there."

"That's great." Zhang Dun said with a smile: "This way there is still a care."

Du Yan suddenly said: "Zhang Shaoyin, how many people do you think we should take with us on this trip to Hedong Road?"

Zhang Dun pondered for two seconds, and said: "I feel that if you can take one less person, you should take one less. If you take more people, it is easy to scare the snake."

Du Yan frowned and said, "From Chang'an City to Hedong Road, at least there are thousands of miles of road. If there are fewer people to lead, we are afraid that we will die on the way first."

"Not at all, not at all." Zhang Dun smiled and said, "With me here, you can rest assured."

Du Yan was stunned, and suddenly thought that when he was Wan Nian Ling, he could deal with more than 50 melodies led by Hou Junji by himself without losing the wind.

Indeed, it was quite safe with him.

Du Yan was relieved, looked at Changsun Wuji, and asked, "Shangsun Shangshu, what do you think?"

"The old man has no objections." Changsun Wuji said with a smile on his face.

Du Yan said solemnly: "That's the decision, Zhang Dun, accept the order."

As he spoke, he took out an imperial decree from his sleeve, looked at the content on it, and said loudly:

"Holy edict: I have heard about the matter of Hedong Road, and I am deeply worried!"

"If it rains heavily on the Hedong Road for several days, it will be fine. If the Hedong Road is really dry for several months, then the civil uprising is imminent. We must guard against it!"

"That's why I want to send my confidant ministers to go to Hedong Road to see what's going on! The candidates to go to Hedong Road this time are Du Yan, the imperial historian, Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the official department, and Zhang Dun, the Shaoyin of Jingzhao."

"Three lovers, all are imperial envoys this time, and there are no adjutants. I will give you three imperial decrees. If you hold this imperial decree, you can execute it first and then play it!"

"Kin this!"

After finishing speaking, Du Yan solemnly closed the imperial decree and handed it to Zhang Dun.

"Sir, take the lead!"

Zhang Dun took the imperial decree with a solemn expression and put it in his sleeve.

Du Yan looked at Zhang Dun and Changsun Wuji, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty also said that this matter should not be delayed. You should start now and wait for the old man at Mingde Gate."

"The old man goes back and gets a carriage, let's set off!"

"Thank you!" Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and took Zhang Dun a step ahead.

Mingde Gate is the south gate of Chang'an City and also belongs to the main gate.

Zhang Dun and Changsun Wuji waited outside the city gate not long before they saw a carriage slowly driving out under the guard of more than 200 people.

"Come up."

Du Yan lifted the curtain of the car and waved to them.

Changsun Wuji and Zhang Dun got into the carriage without hesitation.

"Du Gong, why did you engage in such a big fight?"

Changsun Wuji looked at the more than 200 guards outside the carriage, clicked his tongue and said, "This is no different from ostentation."

Chapter 231 The princess ran away, the real situation of Hedong Road

Du Yan shook his head and said, "This is Chang'an City, not within the territory of Hedong Road, what are you afraid of?"

"It's not too late for us to pack lightly when we get to Hedong Road."

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "Dugong is thinking about it."

Du Yan put down the curtain of the car, and said to the coachman in a calm tone: "Let's go!"

Accompanied by the sound of hoofbeats, the carriage drove towards the official road amidst the sound of neighing and regular horses.

Zhang Dun sat in the carriage, Hu Quhe's face appeared in his mind, and he shook his head secretly.

Before leaving, Hu Quhe told him that she wanted to go together, but he refused.

When working in Chang'an City, I took the female disciple with me because I hoped that she could broaden her knowledge, and nothing major would happen during the period.

However, it's different after leaving Chang'an City.

Especially Hedong Road.

Thousands of miles away.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so there is no telling what will happen there.

Bring less personal, more security, less worry.

At the same time, Li Changzhi's face also appeared in Zhang Dun's mind, and he sighed.

This time I went to Hedong Road, it took more than a month at the fastest, and three to five months at the slowest, and I haven't seen her for a long time.

At this time, Chang'an City, Zuixian Tower.

In the lobby, Li Lizhi was carrying a bag on her shoulders, looked seriously at the stunned father and daughter of the Hu family, and asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, what the slave family said is true, do you agree?"

After a long time, Hu Guang came back to his senses, smiled wryly and said, "How can I agree to what you said?"

As soon as Li Lizhi came, she told him to go to Hedong Road.

Hu Guang pointed to Hu Quhe who was standing beside him, and said solemnly: "Sister and sister, you heard what Qu He said just now."

"Why did brother Zhang want to go to Hedong Road alone with Du Yan and Changsun Wuji this time? It's because this road is too dangerous!"

"Hedong Road is no different from a tiger's den now. He doesn't even bring Quhe, so you can imagine how serious it is!"

"If you go now, what if there is any danger on the road?"

Li Lizhi pursed her lips and said, "It's because of the danger over there that I'm going."

"Master, I'll go with you!" Hu Quhe said suddenly.

"No!" Hu Guang opened his eyes wide, and glared at his serious daughter. At this moment, what trouble are you making!

Hu Quhe shook his head and said, "Father, my daughter thinks I should go!"

"Listen to your daughter first!"

Seeing that Hu Guang was a little anxious, and wanted to interrupt the conversation, Hu Quhe said seriously: "Mr. said that the number of people going to Hedong Road this time should be small rather than large, just to avoid abusing others."

"That's why we should go all the more!"

"Once the sir arrives at Hedong Road, he will definitely face a shortage of manpower. If we go, maybe we can help him."

"What can I help you with?" Hu Guang said angrily, "You're making trouble! Besides, do you think that Hedong Road is just outside Chang'an City?"

"That place is thousands of miles away from Chang'an City! What if something happens to you along the way?"

"It'll be fine!" Li Lizhi said suddenly, "My second uncle and my second aunt will help us."

Hu Guang was stunned, "Your second uncle, and your second aunt, promised you to go?"

"En!" Li Lizhi nodded heavily, and said crisply: "If they don't agree, do I dare to come out and talk to you about it alone?"

"That's it..." The faces of Li Er and Empress Changsun appeared in Hu Guang's mind. Although he didn't know who they were, they must have intentions for what they asked to do.

If I don't agree, I might mess up their arrangements.

Tai Chi Palace, Lizheng Hall, Li Er and Empress Changsun sat opposite each other across a table, staring down at a letter on the table.

On the letter, the signature is Li Lizhi.

Inside the hall, there was no sound.
