A large number of officials were arrested, which shocked the ministers of the court, and the relatives and friends of those who were arrested came to the regent's palace to intercede, but they were all blocked by the captain in front of the palace with troops, but these people did not leave, and more and more people came to intercede. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people who came to intercede were not the senior members of the court, or the meritorious nobles, all of whom were influential people, but they didn't know why these people were arrested, such a big operation, they didn't get the slightest news in advance, at first they didn't know which yamen was in charge of the operation, and after inquiry, they knew that it was an order from the Regent's Palace, so all these people came to the Regent's Palace.

The captain on duty ignored the questions of the bigwigs in front of the palace, but sent people to report to Du Fu on duty today, Du Fu received reports one after another and ran to the door to take a look, and immediately came to the main hall of the front hall to report to Zhao Ziliang, who was reviewing the chapters: "King, the people who plead for mercy are really here, and there are a large number of them, all of whom are important people in the court, and there are many meritorious nobles and relatives of the emperor!" ”

Zhao Ziliang stopped the brush when he heard this, raised his head and muttered for a while, and then ordered: "These people are not enough to succeed and more than to lose!" This king will not go to see them, you go to meet them in front, and they can tell them what they want to ask, but people must not let them go! ”

"Yes, King!" Du Fu agreed, turned around and left.

Du Fu came to the gate of the palace and saw that this formation was really not small, if it was in the past, he saw that these big people had to kneel and salute, but now・・・・・・

"Everyone・・・・・・ all your lords・・・・・・" Du Fu arched his hand to the big people who were making noise, and the big people stopped making noise when they saw that someone finally came out of the palace to see them.

Du Fu and the other bigwigs at the foot of the stairs stopped talking, so they arched their hands and asked: "My lords, this is the regent's palace, where the highest power of the Tang Empire lies, not a vegetable market, let alone a noisy place, if you are like those scoundrels again, don't blame the lower officials for obstructing official business and order the guards to arrest you and put you in prison for a few days!" ”

The big shots remembered that those who were locked up in the prison lived a dark life, and they couldn't help but fight a cold war, and they were suddenly a little timid.

I saw King Yan Li Jue arch his hand and said: "Lord Du, you don't have to scare this king, this king is not frightened, this king got up today to ask clearly, why did the regent palace order the arrest of my son - Li You, the servant of the prince?" ”

Li Jue is the emperor's uncle today, the nobility of the status is not comparable to few people, this person is benevolent, learned, Emperor Xuanzong valued him very much when he was alive, and most people in the court had to salute when they saw him.

Du Fu froze, looked at the others and asked, "Are you all here for the relatives and friends who were arrested last night?" If this is the case, the lower officials can now give you a clear reply, all the people who were arrested last night were people who had colluded with various feudal towns, and it was not a day or two since the relevant yamen of the imperial court were staring at them, since they dared to arrest them, they must have the relevant evidence, otherwise they would not easily arrest people. If you want to intercede for them or speak for them, the relevant yamen of the imperial court will invite you to go to the prison to drink tea. ”

Most of the officials and nobles who made trouble were stupid when they heard this, and most of them began to retreat for a while, and they all surrendered their resignations, and only a few people remained in place.

Li Ying shouted angrily: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" How could my son, Li You, the servant of the Imperial Servant, collude with the feudal town? You're a false accusation, I want to see the regent!" ”

Du Fu politely refused: "His Royal Highness King Yan, the king has a lot of opportunities, and he has no time to pay attention to such a trivial matter." Are you worried that your son, Li You, will be wronged? The subordinate can tell you unequivocally that he was not wronged, and that he confessed just two hours after he was arrested last night. ”

After Li Jue heard this, his whole person shook, and he almost fell to the ground, only to be relieved by the support of the person next to him, his face was bloodless, and he asked, "Lord Du, can this king see my son?" ”

Du Fu said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, because some interrogation matters have not yet ended, and there are still people in the court who have colluded with various feudal towns have not been found, in order to keep the court secret, and at the same time to protect them, His Royal Highness has not been able to see Li You, and after Li You has explained all the things he has guided, the palace will send someone to inform His Highness, and you and your family can go and meet with him at that time." Now the king advocates the rule of law, everything must be carried out within the scope of the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the rules and regulations of the imperial court, if His Royal Highness asks for privileges by virtue of his status, this will make it difficult for the lower officials and others to do it! ”

Li Jue's whole person looked like he was a few years older, and he hugged his fist at Du Fu and said, "Excuse me, say goodbye!" ”

As soon as Li Jue left, the others also had their own objects of concern, and Du Fu answered them one by one, and these people all left one after another after getting a clear answer.

Du Fu saw that everyone was gone, and as soon as he turned around and wanted to enter the palace, he heard a shout from behind: "Master Du!" ”

Du Fu looked back and saw that it was Li Baoyu, turned around and arched his hand: "General Li, do you have something?" ”

Li Baoyu was wearing civilian clothes, hugged his fists and said: "The last general wants to ask to see the king, and please pass it on to Lord Du!" ”

Du Fu saw that Li Baoyu was holding a stack of white paper with words written in his hand, so he asked, "General Li is here to hand in the letter of repentance?" You're too late to hand in this letter of repentance, aren't you? The king said that you should pay it within a month, but did you really wait until a month later? ”

Li Baoyu said embarrassedly: "This, the last general・・・・・・ the last general will not be able to understand the writing and ink, and he can't write a few words even if he scratches his scalp. Therefore・・・・・・ therefore ・・・・・・"

"Got it!" Du Fu nodded, shook his head at Li Baoyu and said, "Come with me!" ”

Li Baoyu hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord!" ”

followed Du Fu into the palace of the regent, Li Baoyu's heart has always been trembling, although he has made many military exploits over the years, and the official has been promoted to Sikong and Prime Minister, but when he thinks of facing Zhao Ziliang, he really has no confidence, Li Guangbi, who had the grace to promote him back then, is a student of Zhao Ziliang, his seniority in front of Zhao Ziliang is ridiculously low, and his contribution to the court is naturally much inferior to Li Guangbi, let alone Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang was reviewing the chapter, and Du Fu walked in with Li Baoyu and said, "King, General Li Baoyu has come to confess!" ”

"Bring it on!" Zhao Ziliang didn't stop, and said without raising his head.

"Yes!" Li Baoyu hurriedly took out the letter of repentance, Du Fu took it and stepped forward to put it on Zhao Ziliang's desk, Zhao Ziliang didn't pay attention to it, so he let Du Fu and Li Baoyu stand like this, and he didn't stop writing until a quarter of an hour later when he finished reviewing all the notes.

picked up the confession book written by Li Baoyu, Zhao Ziliang opened it and took a look, only to see that the confession book was written with big characters, and these big words were written crookedly, some big and some small.

Seeing these words, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but want to laugh, a dignified country, the prime minister, but the words are written like this? Zhao Ziliang couldn't help laughing, and patiently read the entire letter of repentance.

After reading it, Zhao Ziliang said to Li Baoyu: "Li Baoyu, it is indeed a little embarrassing for you to let you write this book of repentance, it is so difficult to write, and the writing is naturally not much better, it is all some foul language." If this book of repentance is seen by the folk literati, I am afraid that they will laugh off their big teeth, and the words of the prime minister of the Tang Empire are written like this, will they say that a reckless man can be the prime minister, and we who are scholars can be the prime minister? ”

Li Baoyu, who was in his sixties, hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes, the king has taught him a lesson, the last general is a rough man, he has never read a book, otherwise he would not be this virtuous!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "What did you do on the night when Sha Zhali led the troops to rebel?" Why not in the barracks? ”

"The last general・・・・・・ the last general ・・・・・・" Li Baoyu was a little hesitant, but seeing that Zhao Ziliang asked so seriously, he had to grit his teeth and say: "The last general has a concubine outside, and this king has included her in the family, but the woman refuses to live with the other wives and concubines of the last general, and the last general feels sorry for her, and is worried that she will be bullied by other wives and concubines, so she has to buy her a house outside, and often take time to live there・・・・・・"

Du Fu wanted to laugh but couldn't help but couldn't help but laugh softly in the other officials in the hall, Zhao Ziliang glared at him, and several officials who laughed out loud suddenly stopped laughing.

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at Li Baoyu and couldn't help but say: "Hey, you are a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, but this king doesn't see this!" This king asks you, how old are you this year? ”

Li Baoyu's face turned red when he was asked this question, and he replied stubbornly: "The last general will have four out of sixty this year!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said angrily: "Okay, you are raising women outside, this king doesn't have the spare time to care about your, but you are in your sixties, can you be more reliable?" Can you have a sense of responsibility? Sha Chali is just a deputy envoy, and at a critical moment, he can even call for the whole battalion to rebel with him, how did you become a festival envoy? ”

Li Baoyu bowed down and said: "The king, the last general will be guilty!" In the past few years, since there is a concubine, the last general has to take care of the family and go to the concubine, and it has taken a lot of energy, so the control of the army is lax, so that it has caused Sha Zhali to lead the army to rebel. ”

"Of course, this king will punish you for your crimes, if you are not held accountable for this matter, won't the court law and military law be useless?" Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly, "I heard that you could raise horses when you were young, and you were good at raising famous horses, so you should first give this king to raise horses in the army for a year!" ”
