329 Pit Daddy
"Back .... "Before I met Li Longji, Du Duotian originally had a lot to say to Li Longji, but when Li Longji really appeared in front of him, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, and the emperor was deified, Du Duotian didn't expect that he would see the emperor, and he didn't expect that one day the emperor would talk to him in person, and his mind was blank at the moment, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
It is this kind of nervous performance that has an honest person's evaluation in Li Longji's heart.
Gao Lishi smiled and reassured: "Don't be nervous, what do you want to report to Your Majesty, just say it, Your Majesty will also make decisions for you." ”
After being comforted by Gao Lishi, Du Duotian's mood calmed down a little, and he stammered a little: "Grass people Du... Du Duotian. ”
"Du Tada, Tada? Well, it's a pretty honest name, I ask you, who are you? Where did it come from and where did it go? ”
"Back to the emperor's words, the grass people of Shouzhou, were ordered to serve in Anxi, lost their left hand when they attacked Liancheng, retired and returned home, because they had never been to Chang'an, nor had they seen the palace, and they thought about going to Chang'an to have a look before going home, and then went home, guarded the land, and lived in An'an, but I didn't expect that when I arrived at the guest station, I would encounter trouble."
Hearing that the soldiers had returned from the Western Regions, Li Longji's tone became softer, he personally helped him up, and then opened his mouth to let all the kneeling wounded soldiers get up, and then he encouraged him: "Very good, Du Duotian, you tell me about the trouble you encountered." ”
Du Duotian was about to speak, but Gao Lishi said on the side: "There are many people here, and the weather is hot, Your Majesty, it is better to find a few representatives and let them report to you in the palace, and you don't have to stand so hard." ”
Li Longji waved his hand and said, "No, just listen here." ”
Gao Lishi froze in his heart, stopped talking, and confirmed one thing in his heart: Li Longji's patience with Yao Chong had reached a critical point.
When he returned to the palace to report, he could operate and suppress this matter as much as possible to save Yao Chong's face, but Li Longji chose to deal with it in front of everyone, this matter could easily spread out, which was not good for Yao Chong's reputation.
Yao Chong is talented, hard-working, is a generation of virtuous ministers, but unfortunately his son Yao Yi, Yao Yi made guests, recruited power and bribes, the main book of the book Zhao Zhi accepted bribes from Hu people, because the matter was revealed, this is a major crime of treason with the enemy, Tang Xuanzong condemned him to death, under the persuasion of his son, Yao Chong was actively rescued, and finally Zhao Zhi saved his life, and the estrangement between the monarch and the minister also appeared.
This time, Yao Yi went too far, and he didn't let go of Zheng Peng, who Li Longji valued, and dared to do it even though he knew that it was Qincha, but he simply didn't take Li Longji in his eyes, Gao Lishi estimated that this was the reason why Li Longji was angry.
Otherwise, Li Longji would not have personally gone out of the palace to meet these wounded soldiers.
With some encouragement from Li Longji, Du Duotian told the matter as it was, and of course, he didn't say anything about quarreling with Guo Ziyi and being provoked to come here to petition.
When the onlookers heard this, they exclaimed from time to time and discussed in small voices, and Li Longji's face sank like water, and only after Du Duotian finished speaking, did he express his position: "I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation." ”
Speaking of this, Li Longji raised his voice and said: "You and others on the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country, they are all good people of me, hard work, wrestler." ”
Gao Lishi immediately stepped forward to listen to the order: "The old slave is here." ”
"Arrange these wounded soldiers, let the imperial doctor give them a good look at their injuries first, and then take them to Chang'an City after the injuries are healed, I can't let the soldiers wash their blood on the battlefield, and they will cry after the battlefield."
"Yes."
This time, there was no need for Gao Lishi to mention it, Du Duotian and his entourage hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again and again to thank him.
I wanted to ask for justice, at least to rescue Zheng Peng first, but I didn't expect Li Longji not only to promise to give everyone justice, let the imperial doctor treat the wounded soldiers present, but also said that after the injury was healed, let them have a good visit to Chang'an, an unexpected surprise.
Not only did the wounded soldiers thank them, but the onlookers also knelt down one after another to support Li Longji from the bottom of their hearts.
Not long after Li Longji returned to the diligent government affairs building, Gao Lishi also returned, and after lightly adding hot tea to Li Longji, he whispered: "Your Majesty, those big-headed soldiers of Du Duotian don't have so much thought, and they can't make such a big battle, I heard that behind it is a sworn brother of Zheng Peng, Guo Ziyi, the son of Guo Jingzhi, the current assassin of Shouzhou, who is behind the back, do you want to arrest him and ask him for crime?" ”
"Hmph" Li Longji snorted coldly: "Behind this, there is also your credit, right?" ”
Gao Lishi was so frightened that he knelt down and slapped himself twice, and then said with a sad face: "Everyone is wise, Guo Ziyi found the old slave and said that he wanted to petition, and the old slave wanted to tell him, but he said that he was afraid of causing the old slave to have a bad relationship with Yao, so he only asked the old slave to give him a little convenience, and the old slave knew that it was wrong, please punish everyone." ”
As soon as these things were in the hands of bad people, everything quickly came to light, and Gao Lishi knew that it was useless to conceal it, so he not only took the initiative to push Guo Ziyi out, but also confessed his guilt happily.
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Lishi said cautiously: "Everyone, the old slave is also out of righteous indignation, but he doesn't dare to accept the slightest benefit." ”
So many wounded soldiers gathered in the square, Wu Hou and Wan Qi did not act, Li Longji guessed that someone gave convenience halfway, but he didn't expect to try it out as soon as he tried it.
Looking at Gao Lishi who was kneeling on the ground, Li Longji suddenly sighed and said: "This matter involves Yao Xiang, it is indeed embarrassing, it is rare that you are also kind, this time I will spare your dog's life, get up." ”
"Thank you" Gao Lishi stood up with a smile on his face, and said with some embarrassment: "Everyone, those wounded soldiers have been settled, and such a big thing has happened, not only to block Youyou's mouth, but also to take care of Yao Xiang's face, this degree must be grasped well." ”
A hint of determination flashed in Li Longji's eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "I don't need to bother with this matter, Lux, you just say that I mean, and this matter will be handled by Yao Chong." ”
Gao Lishi's eyes lit up, and he immediately said respectfully: "Everyone is wise, this time it's Yao Xiang's turn to have a headache, and the old slave will do it." ”
The punishment is light, not enough to make the people angry, the punishment is heavy, Yao Chong has an opinion, it is better to leave the problem to Yao Chong to deal with by himself.
"Let's do it quickly, Yao Yi doesn't know how important it is, Zheng Peng is in his hands, I hope it's okay" Speaking of this, Li Longji's tone changed, and he said with some seriousness: "Yao Yi had better pray that Zheng Peng is okay." ”
When Li Longji and Gao Lishi were a little anxious to discuss this matter, someone was more anxious than them: Yao Chong's family and slaves.
In order to facilitate entering the palace, Yao Chong rented a house in Shengye Fang, the house was not far from the square, Du Duotian and others went to the square to protest not long after, a servant of the Yao family found out about the situation and immediately reported to the master's house.
Bad luck, Yao Yi was not at home, and the head of the family, Yao Chong, went to Ximing Temple to meditate.
Meditation is a way for Yao Chong to relax and unwind, spending two days a month in the temple, eating tea, reading scriptures and playing chess, so that his mood can calm down, and he is not at home on the day of the accident.
The person in charge was not there, and the others couldn't do anything, the housekeeper found Wu Gui of Wuhou Shop, hoping that Wu Gui could let these people disperse first, but Wu Gui got the guidance of Captain Xu of Wanqi and did not take further action.
When the servants ran to Ximing Temple in a hurry, the defendant Yao Chong went to the suburbs after eating fast, so several servants scattered to the places where Yao Chong liked to go on weekdays.
Changfu was a servant of Yao's mansion, and he rode his horse for a long time, and finally talked to his friend Yao Chong on a pavilion by the river.
By the canal, the sun is shining, the willows are still around, the breeze with the fragrance of flowers blows from time to time, and the crisp singing of birds accompanies it.
"Ah Lang, it's not good, it's not good." As soon as Changfu saw Yao Chong, he immediately jumped off the horse, trotted up, and said breathlessly as he ran.
"Vulgar" Yao Chong saw the embarrassed appearance of the servant, and said with some displeasure: "How many times have you been taught, don't panic when you encounter something, let alone lose your etiquette, and don't say hello to Abbot Zhiming?" “
Changfu didn't dare to refute, so he had to respectfully greet the abbot on the side.
After the rituals were over, Yao Chong picked up the teacup unhurriedly, and asked while drinking, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Changfu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said what happened in Xingqing Palace Square.
With a "snap", a delicate teacup fell to the ground and shattered at once, and Abbot Zhiming, who was sitting opposite, raised his eyes and saw a pale face as white as paper.
"Is it confirmed? Did Yi'er really do it? Yao Chong suddenly lost his usual calm, and his speech was a little unfavorable.
After experiencing Zhao Xu, whether it is Yao Chong or Yao Yi, they are all on the cusp, and the government and the opposition are very controversial, and that's it, Yao Chong is busy and asks Abbot Zhiming to come here to play chess to relax, but I didn't expect a wave of unsettled, wave after wave.
"I don't know, those wounded soldiers wrote blood letters, and they made trouble in the square in front of Xingqing Palace, and the big housekeeper went to find Wu Gui, but Wu Gui didn't cooperate." Changfu told the 1510 he knew.
Yao Chong couldn't care about it so much, and said to Changfu "Send the abbot back to Ximing Temple", and even sued Jiadu to save it, so he took a few henchmen to ride a horse and fly to Chang'an City.
Something big is going to happen.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, he knows his son's temper, and others can't do it, but Yao Yi has a hot head and dares to do anything.
Riding his horse all the way, Yao Chong didn't even return home, ran to the square first, and when he arrived at the square, the square had returned to calm, and the officials guarding the square were busy telling Yao Chong what had happened.
Hearing that Li Longji personally received these wounded soldiers and sent people to place those wounded soldiers, Nei Yao Chong was even more anxious, and he didn't even go back to change his clothes, but went directly to Xingqing Palace and asked to see Li Longji.
Not long after, Yao Chong didn't wait for Li Longji to agree to the order to receive him, but waited for Gao Lishi with a serious expression.
