Tang Xuan

The genius was dim, and Lang Huai had already got up.She stood up lightly, took the underwear from the rack and put it on, took off her shoes, and went out slowly.

Knowing that she was going to court today, Lan Jun lit a lamp in the hall and was already waiting.She whispered: "You wash and dress first. Mr. Zhu has gone to get breakfast, and I think he will be there soon."

She wiped her face with hot water, rinsed her mouth with green salt, Lang Huai changed her clothes, and let Lan Jun tie her hair and wear a crown.Having not gone to court for a long time, wearing the three-beam crown feels rather uncomfortable.After a while, Mr. Zhu also came back lightly, and put the hot breakfast on the table.From what Lang Huai saw, they were all light side dishes, two buttered steamed buns, and a bowl of fragrant rice porridge.

After breakfast, she walked to the outer courtyard, where Tao Jun and the driver stood beside the car waiting for her.He was still carrying a food box in his hand, but it was the soup that Lang Huai needed to drink later.She boarded the car and turned back: "After the court, I'll go to see grandma, you talk to Sizi."

Lan Jun bowed in response, watched the carriage leave slowly, and shook his head——Lang Huai is good everywhere, but he is too kind.

The coachman was driving the car, Tao Jun hesitated for a moment, and went in through the curtain. "Master, I have something to do, I hesitated for a long time, and I still have to tell you."

"Why hesitate? Tell me." Lang Huai loosened the straps under his chin, and felt breathless.

"It's like this. Now that the second master is back home, he has no business. After his marriage with Lu Guogong turned bad, he has become more and more unstoppable, and he hangs around Goulan all day." Tao Jun said bluntly: "After all, Miss Shang is not from our family. If you want money, you will give it. The steward said that he has already gone to 5000 taels for this month alone, which is really outrageous. What the steward means, please control and control it, don’t let others make a joke of it.”

Lang Huai closed his eyes, and didn't take it seriously, he said: "I know, after you go back at noon, you ask him to wait in the hall, and tell him that I have something to ask him."

"Yes." Tao Jun heaved a sigh of relief, afraid that Lang Huai would not care.

Not long after arriving outside the Daming Palace, Lang Huai drank the decoction before getting out of the car, adjusted his crown and robe, and then took the memorial and waited for the time to enter the palace.

I still remember the 31st year of Kaiyang, when she stepped into the palace for the first time, followed Lang Shixin at every step, and was reprimanded to be more upright.Now standing here alone, Lang Huai's face is calm, but he knows that after today, he will become the target of public criticism, and there is no possibility of turning around.

Self-defense shrinks, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go.

When she was a child, the teacher invited by her mother also taught her the theory of Confucius and Mencius, but the truth of this sentence can only be understood deeply today.

Lang Huai raised his head, looked at the gradually glowing sky, and said silently: Father, your spirit in the sky, just watch how the child moves.

Slowly walking into the Xuanzheng Palace, Lang Huai is the Duke of the State, except for the royal family surnamed Li, he is the first-class title.The purple robe with gold fish and jade crossed the belt, standing majestically, which made the later officials' eyes shine.

Lang Huai was born as a military general, and now the only one who overwhelms her in power in the court is Yu Chi'an, who is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.Seeing him, Lang Huai bowed politely and said, "The general is safe and well, my nephew is polite."

Yu Chi'an's face was majestic, and he said with a light smile: "It's good to be back."

There was something in these words, Lang Huai understood that he was making a point, and nodded slightly to show that he understood.The two of them stopped talking, and Lang Huai stood behind him, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Not long after, Li Qian came in with a group of ministers talking and laughing.Shangguan Yuan stood first on the left, squinted at Lang Huai, pursed his lips and remained silent.After the Ming emperor was ascended to the throne and all the ministers shouted long live, Shangguan Yuan took the lead in launching the attack.

"Your Majesty, there is a strange thing happening in Chang'an City, which is related to Duke Mu. Since Duke Mu is here today, I can't say, I have to ask a question or two." Shangguan Yuan turned around, walked two steps in front of Lang Huai, and said: " Gouzi ran into Mr. and Mrs. Mu on the street yesterday, is this true?"

Lang Huai nodded and said, "It's true."

"There is a scholar from Yizhou present here. His surname is Zhang and his name is Yue, and he is Anren. He is the son of Zhang Quan, the governor of Yizhou. He is coming to Chang'an to participate in the next year's Enke. Can you know Mr. Mu?" Shangguan Yuan calmly asked the rest of you The officials were bewildered.

"I know." Lang Huai inadvertently made a begging look at Ming Huang, Ming Huang was amused in his heart, and his face remained calm, depending on how Lang Huai would deal with it.

"He is a good friend of Zhao Jun, the eldest son of Lord Zhao, Shangshu Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. He said in words that he met Mugong in March and April this year, but he was in Yizhou." I would like to ask Mu Gong—you are passionate about filial piety, so you should stay in Chang'an for three years, why is it that you are in Yizhou after only a few months of filial piety?"

Those who didn't know this were all surprised.It must be known that the Tang Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, so lawless, how can one enter the court as an official?

Lang Huai stood with a grin, and said with a smile: "What the Prime Minister said is true. I did meet Brother Zhang in Yizhou in March and April. He is a wonderful person." She readily admitted that Shangguan Yuan was taken aback.

Originally they negotiated, if Lang Huai refused to admit it, he asked the scholar to testify.But since Lang Huai recognized it, it would be better.

Only Li Qian noticed something was wrong, he saw that Emperor Ming's face was not different, he hurriedly scolded himself for being confused for a while, maybe it was Emperor Ming who allowed her to accompany Mingda on a trip.He still knows a thing or two about Mingda's temperament.

Now that he understood this verse, Li Qian opened his mouth first and said: "Mu Gong was young, and he inherited this heavy title, and because of his father's illness, he was really depressed after thinking about coming to Chang'an. Forgive me, Father." He took retreat as an advance, openly begged for mercy, but actually belittled Lang Huai, who was young and unaware, disregarded ethics, and had vicious intentions.

Seeing that the time had come, Emperor Ming pretended to be angry, and said, "Ah Huai, look at you, I just said that the decree should be made, but you didn't listen, have you been misunderstood now? Didn't you tell the officials truthfully?"

Lang Huai said with a smile, "obey the order."

She turned sideways slightly, and said loudly: "Father died of illness. I had official duties. I couldn't make it back in time. It is a pity for this life. But before my father passed away, he left a handwritten letter, saying that it is a pity in this life. I have never been to Bashu. I can act on his behalf. This matter has already been reported to His Majesty. His Majesty has seen the handwriting, and he agreed with me to fulfill my father’s long-cherished wish within the filial piety period. At that time, His Majesty said that he would issue an imperial decree, but I really don’t want to bother others because of personal affairs. Now I want to come It’s a lack of thought.”

The monarch and his ministers sang together, which made Emperor Ming really happy.He hid his beard and smiled and said: "My dear friends, you have misunderstood, this child, Ah Huai, is fulfilling Shi Xin's long-cherished wish, and got my word to allow her to leave Beijing with Ming Da."

After he finished speaking, he changed his tone, stared at him, and said: "Yesterday Mingda told me that when you came back from Henan Road, the scene was miserable, and she had nightmares for more than a month. Let me ask you, what is the situation in Henan Road? "

Li Qian's heart felt cold, and only then did he understand Lang Huai's way.I'm afraid Liang Shubi can't hide the good deeds he has done.Sure enough, I heard Lang Huai say in my ears: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, I have this performance, and it is also for the common people of Henan Province."

"I turned from the waterway to the land, all the way to Linzi Boshan County King's Mansion. I have known His Highness the King since childhood. Sizi and the King's brother and sister are deeply in love. Naturally, I want to visit. However, His Highness drank in a dull manner during the banquet. After inquiring, I learned that His Highness was because of the flood last year. After His Highness finished speaking, I still didn't believe it. Who would have come all the way back to find out that His Highness's words were half true."

"Your Majesty, Liang Shubi, the envoy of the Bianzhou Festival in Henan Province, embezzled money privately and delayed the construction period. After the catastrophe, he withheld the people's life-saving food, which led to the civil uprising in Bianzhou. Liang Shubi suppressed the massacre with elite soldiers, and the people in the vicinity of Bianzhou were in dire straits. , even lied about the epidemic situation, and deceived His Majesty. The king of the county has played several times, but there is no response. It must have been withheld from the memorial and cannot be heard directly." Lang Huai took out a thick memorial from his cuff, handed it with both hands, and said loudly: "Sizi has nightmares again and again, because my Tang Dynasty is now in the prosperous age, and Bianzhou is not far from Chang'an, so such disasters have happened. If you use this to whitewash the peace, how can you face the world? She has such insights as a woman, The minister is the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and he dare not be behind."

Lu Youlin trotted to submit the memorial, Minghuang read every page with a serious face.Since he was suspicious yesterday, the first person to ask was Yuan Xuanhong, the bad guy.The secret decree to thoroughly investigate the Henan Road was also issued overnight, which reassured Emperor Ming a little.

"The Duke of the state is a military general. When will he take care of the officials and people's livelihood? What's more, His Highness the Crown Prince questioned earlier, and the Yushitai and the Ministry of Officials also sent officials to Bianzhou to find out the truth. It is just a lie." Shangguan Yuan said: "Mu Gong is young, It’s understandable to be blinded for a while if you can’t see these dirty things. But don’t bother Your Majesty with this matter anymore.”

"Since I am a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, I should be His Majesty's eyes and ears and scout the world." Lang Huai squinted at Shangguan Yuan and said, "Lang Huai only recognizes what he sees and what he hears. I don't know what the prime minister is going to do with the matter of slander?"

Lang Huai deliberately fought with him, and after a while, Emperor Ming had finished reading the memorial.He closed it with a snap, and asked, "Lang Huai, where is the evidence for what you said?"

Lang Huai bowed and said: "After the massacre of the people in Bianzhou, although not many survived, it is not difficult to find them carefully. I came back all the way, and found seven or eight victims who survived by luck, and all of them were brought back. Chang'an, settle in Mugong's mansion."

"Among them was an aunt, whose whole family of old and young men died here, and wanted to complain to His Majesty." Lang Huai was also sad for a while when he thought of it, so he couldn't help but waited, and then continued: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I will summon you immediately , just ask."

Emperor Ming rubbed his forehead, it seemed that Liang Shubi couldn't keep it.Since there was a problem among the bad guys, Mingda couldn't help but believe what he said.

While he was sighing, Li Qian checked his words and expressions, and knew that the matter was irreversible, so he said first: "I will tell my father, my son can trust my sister and Duke Mu. You should take Zuo Qinghuan and Mu Yan from Yushitai to punish him! If not The two of them didn't notice, how could they have delayed here? They wouldn't have wronged the elder brother of the crown prince! There is also Liang Shubi from Bianzhou, who is very dignified and really abominable. My son also asked his father to punish him. Such a shocking incident, the son of the chief official There is no news at all, the elder brother of the crown prince knows, but the minister does not know, I am really ashamed. Please ask the father to resign from the position of minister of the Ministry of officials, so that the mouth of the world can be blocked!" He spoke sincerely and did not shirk at all. , but also clicked on Emperor Ming—someone tipped off the prince.

The officials below knelt down with him, Shangguan Yuan said: "Your Majesty, Duke Huai is dedicated to serving the country, and Duke Huai didn't notice for a while, please forgive me."

Standing on the sidelines, this kind of struggle for power and profit is really boring.The fight here is no longer what she cares about, Lang Huai just waits for the Emperor Ming to make an order.As expected, Emperor Ming first exempted Prince Li Xun from being imprisoned, and then deducted Li Qian's salary for one year, but the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials still belonged to him.

Naturally, Liang Shubi would be escorted to Beijing for interrogation and conviction, but this was not his business.

"Lang Huai, Shi Xin's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, so he can stay at home and keep his filial piety, so as not to cause misunderstanding, can you write it down?" Emperor Ming looked at her, showing his favor in this way in front of the officials.

"Yes, I obey the order." Lang Huai lowered his head and said nothing more.This battle was fought more laboriously than capturing Khotan.But as long as he can seek justice for those people in Bianzhou who died in vain, he will feel at ease.

"On August 33th of the [-]rd year of Kaiyang, Mu Gonglang Huai bluntly said that the Bianzhou Jiedu envoy Liang Shubi was greedy for ink. His Majesty was furious and ordered a thorough investigation to stop the people's grievances. At the end of Kaiyang's full court, Mu Gong relieved the people from danger. Qingliu."
