Chapter 1258: Grace for the Monarch

In the study of an ordinary official residence in Changle Fang, an old man was writing a book, and when he saw that he was about to finish writing, he suddenly dropped his pen, crumpled the inky paper, and stood up angrily. However, after pacing back and forth a few steps, he finally sat down and rubbed his brow in some distress. Seeing that the seal on the desk was given to him by his brother before he died, he was even more sour, and in the end he couldn't help but clench it into a fist and beat it hard.

The Zhang family was originally not a big family, even if his father and ancestors were once officials, but they were all small officials, and it was not until the eldest brother and he successively Tengda that they really broke free from the world of Lingnan. If it weren't for the loss of the sacred heart because of the advice not to abolish the prince back then, and Li Linfu was troubled by it, how could the eldest brother end up depressed in Lingnan?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiugao calmed down, spread out a piece of notepaper again, and concentrated on writing. He and his brother Zhang Jiuling have both served as envoys to the five prefectures of Lingnan for many years, and they were knighted for their merits in appeasing the barbarians, but now he is returning to Chang'an due to illness, and he has long lost much influence in the center. Although he didn't expect to make any contributions, when he thought that Chang'an was now frantically promoting the virtuous king, but no one thought of the wronged prince Li Ying'e, Li Yaoguang, and Li Ju, and no one thought of his eldest brother Zhang Jiuling, his heart was very uncomfortable.

"Family, family!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Jiugao's hand shook slightly, and a drop of ink stained the writing paper. He raised his head in some annoyance and called in, and when an old servant hurried into the study, he asked dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

"Family, Du Xiangguo personally wrote a book and asked for Zhang Xiangguo!"

"What!" Zhang Jiugao Huo Ran stood up, his face was surprised and delighted, "What the hell is going on, say it quickly?" ”

The old servant was also a literate and hyphenated person, so he settled down and presented a few pieces of small note paper with both hands: "Du Xiangguo's recital has been copied out, please take a closer look." ”

Zhang Jiugao hurriedly took the things in his hand, and when he finished reading the ten lines at a glance, he was already in tears. When the eldest brother Zhang Jiuling was in power, he once asserted that An Lushan, who was escorted back to Beijing for the crime of disobedience, was a scourge, and asked Ming Zhengcanon to punish him with military justice, but he was spared by Li Longji's big hand. It was this small accident that caused today's chaos! Later, the eldest brother was demoted, and left Beijing in a hurry, although he finally barely cheered up, and he also made great achievements in office, but after all, he died young, and died in his early sixties.

And now, Du Shiyi is actually asking for a posthumous gift of Zhang Jiuling as the head of the three princes, and at the same time, the three divisions of the Fuyi will be added, and another official sacrifice will be made!

"Brother, brother! When you were with Du Shiyi's colleagues, you once said that he was young and modest, well-read and strong-minded, with strong bones and outstanding talents, but I didn't expect that after many years, others would forget your foresight, but he still remembered you! ”

Zhang Jiugao muttered to himself for a while, and his eyes were completely red. He clenched the thin sheets of note paper with trembling hands, and finally took a deep breath. Since the eldest brother has already come forward to speak fairly, then let him do the rest!

If it is said that Du Shiyi's letter to posthumously present Zhang Jiuling to Taiwei and his foresight of the An Lushan rebellion only made many officials who are bent on seeking meritorious service a little embarrassed, then Zhang Jiugao, who has stepped down from his post as the envoy of the five prefectures of Lingnan for more than a year and is recuperating in the private house of Changle Fang in Chang'an, is really a shock.

Please recover the titles and titles of the abolished prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao, and the king of light Li Ju!

It was only at this time that the officials and people of Chang'an remembered that before the unjust death of Li Heng, the prince of Yisu, there were three equally unlucky princes. Just because of Concubine Wu Hui's slander, they were exiled to Lingnan by Li Longji, a father who was demoted to a concubine, and died of illness within a few years. At that time, there were not a few people who secretly complained about them, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and now after many years, this old case has finally been overturned!

Of course, the people only praised Zhang Jiugao for his ability to seek justice for the three kings, but the ministers did not think that the abolished prince Li Ying had left six sons! King Li Cong of Qing had no children, so he raised these six sons under his knees, among which Li Shen, the king of the plains, and Li Li, the heir of the king of Qing, were the descendants of the abolished princess Xue. If Li Ying's title is recovered, it is really calculated according to the eldest and youngest of the concubines, King Heiqing can be regarded as the heir of King Qing, and can no longer be regarded as the son of Li Ying, but Li Shen, the king of the plains, is much straighter than Li Li, the king of Nanyang!

With Zhang Jiugao's recital, the palace change that was tightly covered up by Li Longji back then quickly leaked out of the palace. Concubine Wu Hui summoned the three kings into the Nanxun Palace, trying to connect the Son of Heaven and the three kings in a pot, Fengshou King Li Mao ascended the throne, fortunately for the three kings to see through, with a few high-quality servants and forbidden troops to rescue the Son of Heaven from danger, but after the defeat of Concubine Wu Hui was imprisoned, the three kings were therefore suspicious of the Son of Heaven, the king of light Li Ju touched the pillar to show his innocence, but Li Longji still did not allow it, regardless of the serious injury of the king of light, abolished the three kings as concubines, and demoted them to Lingnan.

As soon as this series of truths came out, several familiar officials such as Qi Lishi, the secretary of the ministry, jointly visited Gao Lishi for verification, although Gao Lishi was silent, but Qi Di, who was familiar with him, had already concluded from Gao Lishi's gloomy expression that everything was true! Qi Di himself was suspected by Li Linfu because of his proximity to Gao Lishi, and it was easy to escape a catastrophe and return to the dynasty to take up his post, and now confirming such a past, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and at the same time had some schadenfreude.

Throughout the ages, everyone who is the Son of Heaven has his own set of imperial skills, and Li Longji is not the most out of line, but he is the most unlucky now. In his old age, his reputation was ruined, and the most terrible thing was that all the things he hid were turned over by people!

However, Li Longji, who woke up from time to time, didn't know this. In the past six months, he has suffered the biggest setbacks in his life, and if he was replaced by someone else, he was angry, sick, and injured, and he had already died a long time ago, but he has been stubbornly stiff, and this stroke is no exception. Even though his body couldn't move anymore, he could barely say a few vague words, but between the lines he was inquiring about the situation outside. But no matter how much he tried to investigate, several imperial doctors were silent about these. was anxious to be questioned by the Son of Heaven, and several imperial doctors simply glanced at each other, and all of them retreated.

When he walked out of the Xingqing Palace, the imperial doctor led by him wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered in a low voice: "If His Majesty knows what is happening outside, and then he is angry, who of us can afford that responsibility?" ”

"After all, it is five days after the promotion of the virtuous king, if there are three long and two short, a few of us will definitely have to top the cylinder at that time." Speaking of this, the youngest imperial doctor turned his head to look inside the hall, and suddenly felt that Li Longji was a little pitiful, "I want to come to His Majesty to ask, but I definitely don't want to know how much of a wave there is outside." It is said that in addition to requesting a letter to posthumously present Zhang Jiuling as a lieutenant, Du Xiangguo also wrote a letter asking for the post of marshal. ”

Not only that, Du Xiangguo also played the unjust case of Zhaoxue, Li Yong, Wang Ju and others, or in other words, the criminal department and Dali Temple re-checked the case file after Tianbao. At the same time, the children of the wronged officials and citizens were allowed to avenge their deceased relatives and friends. For this, many people in the market rushed to tell each other, and even many people set off firecrackers. If it weren't for the Dengwen Drum, there were four imperial histories rushing to sit in the town, and I don't know how many Dengwen Drums would be beaten on this day! ”

The imperial physician who was the leader shook his head and sighed when he said this. He is almost seventy years old, born in the last years of the martial arts, and has gone through Zhongzong, Ruizong, and today's son, and has seen more far-reaching than these young people. Historically, these requests for Zhaoxue to be wronged by the officials and the people have either been done by the relatives and friends of the children who have a deep relationship with the bitter master, or the new monarch has ascended the throne and wants to show favor to the subjects, so it is necessary to make a gesture to remove the old and cloth the new, but now Du Shiyi has not waited for the abdication of the Son of Heaven and the ascension of the new monarch to the throne, so he has put all this series of things on the table, even if the new monarch will handle it according to this after he ascends the throne in the future, this kindness will first fall on Du Shiyi's head.

For example, this time, if there is no Du Shiyi to posthumously present Zhang Jiuling to Lieutenant, Kaifuyi and the three divisions, Zhang Jiugao will write to please restore the crown prince and prince of Li Ying and the three people?

After Zhang said, Zhang Jiuling became a leader in the literary world, and he promoted many literati and writers whether he was a foreign official or a prime minister. Therefore, even if the Du Mansion is closed to guests, because of Zhang Jiuling's posthumous sealing, there are still people who come to visit regardless of it. When Du Shiyi looked at the few letters of worship sent by Azler personally, he saw that it was Wang Wei, Du Fu, Wang Changling, and Cen Shen, and immediately laughed.

Du Zimei once regretted that he had always regretted offering Zhang Wenwen but couldn't, and the two of them came over, but I didn't expect that even Shaobo and Xiao Cen would all come to join in the fun! It's an old friend again, and it's a wingman, and I can't keep this purity. Tell the order to go out, open the door, and welcome the guests! ”

The door of Du's house was open to welcome guests, and Du Shiyi personally set up a banquet to entertain his old friends, and when such news spread, before these people who visited Du's house returned to their homes, a large number of people had gathered at their doorsteps to inquire about the news. Among them, Wang Jin was immediately besieged by his colleagues and subordinates.

"Xia Qing, you and the Cui family are in-laws, and the Cui family is in-laws with the Du family, you didn't know what you said before, but now that Brother Ling has seen Du Xiangguo, do you still want to hide it?"

"Not to mention Brother Ling, Wang Zhongcheng, as far as I know, after Brother Ling moved to the left, you had a close relationship with Du Xiangguo, and even when Zhang Hedong Xiangguo was in power, the new house was completed, and you followed Du Xiangguo in the past, and once recited a poem."

"Wang Zhongcheng, now that it's about to be a mess outside, you can just say a word to reassure everyone!"

Wang Jin only felt upset, and in the end, he didn't care if he offended anyone, so he slapped the handrail and stood up, and then said with a gloomy face: "I am me, Du Xiangguo is Du Xiangguo, but I won't pull the tiger skin to make a big banner!" After the brother Du Xiangguo, the head of the department, they intersected with each other, and I also intersected with Du Xiangguo because of this, but that was a juvenile current event, how could he abolish the public because of private affairs now? If it were me, I could make a clear statement here, the king of Nanyang is the second son of Prince Yisu, and of course he should inherit the throne in terms of etiquette! ”

Seeing the people around him showing suspicious expressions one by one, snorting and probing, and gradually leaving for a while, Wang Jin couldn't help but be so angry that he grabbed something and threw it to the ground angrily. If it weren't for Zhang Jiugao's recovery of the crown prince Li Ying, the dominant position of Li Li, the king of Nanyang, would be unshakable, but now this variable is too big!

robbed the new monarch of the means of enthronement and benevolence, Du Shiyi is afraid that his heart is even bigger than he imagined!
