Fu Tang

Li Congjia looked at Zhao Kuangyin, who had gone and returned, very surprised: "Why are you back again? What happened?"

In Li Congjia's mind, this time should be crushed, but Zhao Kuangyin came back just like that. Could it be... something changed?

Zhao Kuangyin looked quite listless, nodded lightly and said, "Well, something went wrong, and this battle probably won't be able to be fought."

Li Congjia suddenly had a bad feeling: "What's going on?"

Zhao Kuangyin said helplessly: "The governor of Changle has already opened the city gate and greeted him with his hat off."

"Huh?" Li Congjia was a little surprised, and the removal of the crown meant that he had confessed his guilt.

Weren't you crazy before?I also want to support Li Congyi as the emperor, and I don't ask Li Congyi if he wants to, why are you so cowardly now?

Zhao Kuangyin felt disappointed: "I have already sent people in to check, there is no ambush, they really want to surrender."

Li Congjia didn't speak for a long time. It felt like he had accumulated energy for a long time and punched, but it ended up being empty. This feeling was really depressing.

After a long while, he asked, "Where's the governor of Changle Mansion?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head: "I didn't see it, I guess I have to wait for someone to interrogate."

Zhao Kuangyin did not directly send someone to arrest the governor of Changle. After all, Li Congjia hadn't ordered it yet, so he had to come and report first, otherwise he wouldn't have come back.

Li Congjia was speechless, turned his head to look at Shi Xueting, Shi Xueting looked up at the sky, and then nodded to him.

If there is any problem in Changle Mansion, Shi Xueting will receive the news. Since there is no bad news, it means there is no problem.

Li Congjia had no choice but to say, "Then let's go to the city."

Everyone has taken off their hats and pleaded guilty. If Li Congjia is still hesitating outside, he is cautious at a young age, but at an older age, he has lost his dignity as a gentleman, so he should go in or go in.

As for the governor of Changle... Li Congjia decided to interrogate him himself.

Because there was no real war, Changle Fucheng was still intact, but at this time there was no one on the street, making the whole Fucheng look very cold.

Li Congjia didn't sit in the carriage, but rode on the road. One was to put pressure on the previous rebels, and the other was to fish for law enforcement. He still didn't quite believe that all the rebels surrendered.

After all, they yelled so loudly before that Li Congjia thought that this group of people would raise troops to attack Chang'an, but in the end, they immediately gave up, no matter what they thought, they were wrong.

Li Congjia arrived at the governor's mansion, and after taking his seat, the governor of Changle mansion directly came up and knelt down to plead guilty.

Li Congjia, the governor of Changle Prefecture, has seen it. There are many governors in the country. Li Congjia has not seen all of them, but the places along the coast with ports are the focus of Li Congjia's attention. Basically, they can be sent to be governors. Naturally, they trust them Yes, the result was slapped in the face.

Li Congjia looked at the governor of Changle Mansion without speaking for a long time, the air pressure had already dropped to a certain level, just when he was about to speak, the governor of Changle Mansion suddenly tilted his body and fell directly to the ground.

Li Congjia:? ? ? ? ?

Everyone at the scene looked at Li Congjia, and Chunsheng went over to look at him cleverly and said, "Your Majesty, he passed out."

Is this Nima fainted by fright?Am I that scary?You're making it hard for me, you know?

Li Congjia had no choice but to ask the governor of Changle to stay and ask him after he woke up. Of course, he didn't have to ask him. After all, many officials in Changle Mansion seemed to have stayed. Of course, those people are not qualified to face the saint. Interrogation It was handed over to the following people.

Chunsheng led people to quickly tidy up the governor's mansion, and let Li Congjia settle down. After the idlers and others retreated, Li Congjia turned to look at Shi Xueting: "You said...what's going on?"

Shi Xueting didn't care, "Probably because he found out that this matter is not going to happen."

So if things don't work out, admit cowardice?Li Congjia felt a little regretful, originally thought that this time he could finally bring the Tiance Mansion to give them some military merit, but he didn't expect the enemy to be so weak.

Li Congjia suddenly felt something wrong: "No, where is the governor of Changle Mansion? Why is there only the governor?"

Shi Xueting pressed his shoulders and said: "Don't worry, he can't run away, you haven't slept well these two days, take a good rest first."

Li Congjia didn't resist either, anyway, even if he ran away, he was still in Datang territory, and he would be caught sooner or later!

Li Congjia hugged Shi Xueting's waist and said, "Let everyone take a good rest, just ask what you need to ask, anyway, they have all surrendered, and they probably won't come to the trick of preferring death to submission."

Shi Xueting bent down and kissed his forehead and said, "I'll pass on a message first."

Li Congjia was a little confused: "What news?"

Shi Xueting said helplessly: "Have you forgotten that Yang Ye is still on his way to Changle Mansion?"

Li Congjia blinked, and Shi Xueting knew from his expression that he really forgot.

Fortunately, Shi Xueting still remembered, otherwise Yang Ye would have made a trip to Changle Mansion in vain, but even so, Yang Ye had already arrived halfway, and when he was full of confidence, he was suddenly informed that the enemy surrendered, you don't have to go, Yang Ye is also very depressed!

Is the governor of Changle Mansion just kidding?

For a moment, the hatred value of the governor of Changle Mansion was very stable. At the beginning, everyone thought that you were rebellious?Then we will kill you.

Now it's, you dare to tease us?I must kill you!

Yang Ye angrily turned his horse's head and went back. At this time, Chang'an also didn't know what rhythm to follow for a while, and had to wait for the follow-up imperial decree.

Li Congjia slept comfortably for a whole day, Shi Xueting saw that he hadn't rested well in the past two days and didn't bother him, and the confession came out the next morning.

Seeing Shi Xueting's solemn expression, Li Congjia knew that something was going to happen, and quickly said, "Wait a minute, let me do some psychological training."

Shi Xueting:? ? ? ? ? ?

Li Congjia took a deep breath before saying, "Speak."

Shi Xueting found it funny: "What did you think of?"

"Your expression is very telling." Seeing Shi Xueting smiling, Li Congjia knew that the matter should not be too big.

Shi Xueting said: "The governor of Changle Mansion ran away with his whole family."

Li Congjia was very surprised: "Run away? How did he run away?" His face changed when he said this: "Could it be that the surrounding state capitals are helping him to hide it?"

Shi Xueting said expressionlessly: "Did you forget that Changle Mansion is close to the sea?"

Only then did Li Congjia remember: "So he ran away by boat? What kind of boat did he take?"

Shi Xueting said: "It is said that it is an ordinary lucky boat."

Li Congjia narrowed his eyes and said, "Let someone inform the nearby countries that whoever takes him in will be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty. By the way, martial law will be imposed on the coastal seaports. I don't believe that he can float to Europe."

Shi Xueting asked: "What?"

Li Congjia found himself slipping the tongue and quickly said: "It's nothing, it's impossible for him to drift at sea for too long, he either landed from another country, or died in the sea, there is no third way."

As for landing from the coastline of Datang... This is a bit difficult. Nowadays, the household registration system of Datang is still good, and not everyone can come here and pretend to be a commoner.

It's a pity, it would be nice if there is a positioning system on it, but Li Congjia just thinks about it. After all, he doesn't even have electricity now, and the distance to positioning is not a matter of a few steps, but it should be a matter of centuries.

Shi Xueting asked: "The crown prince wrote to ask if you want to continue the parade?"

Li Congjia counted the days and said, "Go on, it's not too far away, let someone prepare the train in Dengzhou."

After Shi Xueting sent the news, Li Congjia asked again: "What role does the governor of Changle Mansion play in this matter?"

Shi Xueting paused for a moment, and a look of sympathy appeared on his face: "The governor of Changle Mansion...I'm afraid he will die soon."

"What?" Li Congjia was a little surprised: "He committed suicide?"

This was the only possibility he could think of, committing suicide in fear of guilt, but, hearing Shi Xueting's meaning, it should mean that he is still alive, that is, he is still dying.

Shi Xueting explained: "No, from the beginning to the end, the governor of Changle Mansion did not join forces with the governor of Changle Mansion, but the governor of Changle Mansion had soldiers in his hands, so he broke into the governor's mansion directly, arrested the governor, and forced him to join Changle. The governor of the mansion and the governor insisted on refusing, and received inhuman torture. Later, the governor of Changle Mansion escaped overnight. Everyone panicked, so they took the governor out of the prison and asked him to be a dead ghost. Fuck, after you come back and explain the matter, you will already be on your deathbed."

Li Congjia's face became colder the more he heard it and asked: "The governor of Changle Mansion... Bah, he is no longer the governor of Changle Mansion, he is just a rebel who only took his family and left without anyone else?"

Shi Xueting nodded: "Everyone was left behind, and some others also left by boat, but Changle Mansion is not considered an important military location, and there are not many boats, only a few left, and most of them were left behind. down."

Li Congjia nodded and said: "These people, one by one, will be arrested and punished severely. The governor of Changle Mansion...is it really impossible to save them?"

Shi Xueting shook his head, and Li Congjia had no choice but to say: "Give a rich burial, let the court discuss it, and give him a lord." At this point, he suddenly changed his mind and said: "No, give his son a lord, he has a son, right? ?”

Shi Xueting's face was a bit sad: "There were originally two sons and two daughters, but the rebels became mad and killed all his family members in order to force him to surrender."

Li Congjia pursed his lips tightly, and his chest was already full of anger. He originally thought that throwing those people into the sea was equivalent to exile, and the chance of them surviving was very low, but now he found that this way of death is really cheap for them, really They should be hacked into pieces!

It's a pity that this rebel is not successful, and it's not worth using the Yuanxi fleet to hunt him down. Even if Li Congjia thought about it, the cabinet and the Privy Council would dissuade him. It burns money every time you move it.

Seeing him like this, Shi Xueting quickly comforted him and said: "Don't be angry, there are older brothers and younger brothers in the governor's family. When the time comes, the adoptive one will renew the incense for him."

Li Congjia shook his head: "How can it be the same?"

All his own children were killed, and he was about to die. The more Li Congjia thought about it, the more sad he became. He said, "I'd rather him surrender than see his family ruined."

But Shi Xueting said: "The integrity of a scholar cannot be lost."

Li Congjia looked up at him: "You also think he did the right thing?"

"Don't you think it's wrong?"

Li Congjia was a little confused: "I don't know, but if it were me, I might pretend to agree and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback."

Shi Xueting said: "However, the governor is not you, he is not as flexible as you, and sometimes the persistence of scholars is inexplicable, but it is admirable."

Li Congjia sighed: "Let's go, let's go see him."

In any case, the governor of Changle Mansion can be regarded as a hero. Li Congjia understood why the governor of Changle Mansion was tortured so much, because he had a big seal in his hand. If he got this big seal, the rebels would be able to completely control Changle Mansion, maybe It can also confuse the surrounding state capitals and trick people into boarding pirate ships.

It can be said that the reason why the traitor was forced to go to sea in the end was because of the governor's insistence, and it was precisely because of this that no greater disaster was caused-if this traitor really became popular, If nothing else, the surrounding people will inevitably suffer.

Li Congjia followed Shi Xueting all the way to the side house of the state capital. Before entering, Li Congjia smelled a strong smell of medicine. After entering, he saw the skinny old man lying on the bed.

Yesterday, Li Congjia didn't observe the old man carefully because he knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty. What's more, Li Congjia thought he was a criminal minister at the time. What's so good about a minister who committed a crime?

But looking at the other party's disheveled face now, he knew that Shi Xueting had not lied to him, and looking at it like this, he really couldn't be saved.

The governor half-closed his eyes, and when he saw the five-clawed banner dragon embroidered on the person who came, he knew that the emperor was coming, and he struggled to get up.

Li Congjia strode forward and pressed his shoulder and said, "Inspector Yin doesn't need to be polite."

Inspector Yin looked at Li Congjia and said with difficulty: "I...ashamed...yes...Your Majesty!"

Li Congjia shook his head: "No, you are a hero. If it weren't for you, the people in this city might have been ruined by the rebels. I have issued an order to reward you. I allow you to make a request. You say you want it. what?"

Li Congjia didn't know how to appease Governor Yin. The other party's life had come to an end, and his family had already gone to hell. Even if Li Congjia gave him a grand funeral and made him mourn after death, what's the use?

Inspector Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty... I have a... merciless request."

Li Congjia said softly: "Speak."

Governor Yin said: "The people...the people are innocent, please don't anger the people, they...they were taken away by the rebels. Angry."

Li Congjia was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Don't worry, there is a wrong and a debtor. I only talk about accomplices, and I will not vent my anger."

Inspector Yin heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, the Lang Zhong who had been standing next to him seemed hesitant to speak. Li Congjia didn't notice him at first, but Shi Xueting asked, "What's wrong, Lang Zhong?"

Li Congjia turned his gaze to the doctor, and the doctor knelt down tremblingly. Li Congjia originally thought that the doctor was frightened, but Wen Yan said: "Don't be afraid, do your best to heal Yin Cishi, use whatever you have, and tell Chunsheng if you don't need it." That's right."

Chunsheng, who was named, took a step forward to let the doctor recognize his face.

Unexpectedly, Governor Yin said: "Your Majesty, if I fail, it's better not to waste medicinal materials."

Li Congjia endured the grief in his heart and said: "Don't talk nonsense, take care of yourself."

The doctor lay on the ground and said, "Your Majesty...I...I have something important to report."

Li Congjia asked, "What's the matter?"

The doctor glanced at Governor Yin, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the governor still has a son alive."

At this time, Governor Yin shouted sharply: "Don't talk nonsense...cough cough cough..."

Li Congjia patted Governor Yin's chest comfortingly and said, "Don't get excited." Then he turned to look at Langzhong and asked seriously, "Is what you said true?"

The doctor nodded and said: "The child was born in the governor's room, and he is just three years old this year..."

Inspector Yin quickly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters. This son... is raised by his mother, it's okay..."

Li Congjia sighed slightly. This governor really loves the people like a son. Li Congjia granted him a request, but he used it to intercede for the people instead of asking for a favor for his own son. If the doctor hadn't said it, Li Congjia might not have known the presence of this child.

Of course not necessarily, maybe Shi Xueting will be able to find it.

Li Congjia didn't say much, just said: "You rest at ease, don't think too much, your son, I won't let him suffer."

Yin Cishi's eyes were slightly moist, and he opened his mouth twice, but he couldn't speak because of excitement. Li Congjia said quickly: "Doctor? Come and show him."

While talking, he turned his head to look at Chunsheng: "Go and invite Fengyu to help the governor take a look!"

Only now did Li Congjia realize that he was traveling with a doctor, and this doctor must be of a higher standard than the doctor.

Feng Yu came over quickly, but even Feng Yu couldn't save Yin Cishi's life. In the middle of the night, Yin Cishi finally swallowed his last breath.

Li Congjia felt a little frustrated, sighed, and asked people to prepare the funeral of Governor Yin, then turned around and took Shi Xueting to leave there.

He stood in the yard in a daze for a while before asking: "Does Governor Yin really have a son?"

Shi Xueting said softly: "Yes, it was just born outside, so I didn't tell you."

The child born outside the room is not recognized in terms of etiquette or law. That is to say, everyone knows that his father is Yin Cishi. Industry.

Li Congjia asked: "The governor of Yin is so upright, why is he still in the outer room?"

Shi Xueting coughed lightly and said: "The main reason is that Governor Yin's wife is too domineering, so..."

Li Congjia understood in seconds, he turned his head to look at Shi Xueting and asked, "That child is still too young, how do you plan to arrange him?"

Shi Xueting was silent for a long while before he said: "If Inspector Yin is not dead, the merits of this time are enough to confer a title."

Li Congjia thought about it, too. Of course, this title will definitely not be high, and the lowest title is actually not as high as that of the governor. According to the strictness of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Yin is at most one of the lowest titles.

The only advantage is that this title will not be taken back as long as you don't make a big mistake, and you have a fixed salary. However, such a title cannot be inherited.

Li Congjia pondered for a long while and said: "Wait, you go tell Zou Cheng and ask him to write a letter to award the title to the son of Governor Yin, which can be regarded as a guarantee for their mother and child."

Even though the Tang Dynasty is very peaceful now, it is not easy for a woman to lead a difficult life with her children. Maybe Governor Yin's family will take care of them, but it may not be good to be dependent on others, it is better to give them a way out.

Shi Xueting didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and it was worth making an exception for Yin Jieshi's integrity.

Not only did he think so, even the imperial court did not embarrass him. Many scholars felt that he had integrity, but there were not many who were able to do what Yin Jieshi did, so he was admired and praised by others.

Even if there were not tens of thousands of people seeing off Governor Yin's funeral, there were thousands of people. With such a reputation, if Governor Yin's son had a title, he wouldn't be bullied, right?

Of course, no one can say for sure, the only thing Li Congjia can do is to tell the new governor to take more care of him.

When he was leaving, Shi Xueting asked him: "I thought you would bring that child back."

Li Congjia waved his hand: "That child has a mother and elders, and he is not an orphan. What do I do to bring him back?"

Shi Xueting didn't ask any more questions, and because of the Changle Mansion incident, although Li Congjia continued to parade, the waiters in the state capital along the way were cautious, for fear that the emperor would anger him.

This time Li Congjia chose to continue touring the court and did not object. They felt that Li Congjia's doing so was also beneficial. At least he could show the world that small rebels can't make a fortune, and the emperor didn't mean to take them seriously at all.

When Li Congjia arrived in Dengzhou, there were only two months before the crown prince's wedding ceremony. He originally planned to go around Dengzhou before going back. There should be plenty of time, because he had this matter in mind, and he didn't have any time on the way. I am in the mood to travel around the mountains and rivers, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up, and then I will play off by then.

In the end, he was left in Dengzhou crying by the governor of Dengzhou and the governor of Dengzhou.
