The first thousand two hundred and fifty-eight chapters
In an ordinary official residence in Changlefang, an old man was writing quickly. Seeing that he was about to finish writing, he suddenly dropped his pen, kneaded the paper with a lot of ink, and stood up angrily. However, after walking back and forth for a few steps, he finally sat down dejectedly and rubbed his eyebrows with some distress. Seeing that the seal on the desk was given to him by his brother before his death, he felt even more sour and couldn't help but clench it into a fist and beat it hard.
The Zhang family was not a great family. Even though his father and grandfather had served as officials, they were all small officials. It was not until the elder brother and he became successful that they could truly break free from the world of Lingnan. If it weren’t for the loss of their holy heart because of the advice not to depose the crown prince, and Li Linfu was also involved in it, how could the elder brother die in Lingnan in depression?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiugao calmed down, spread out a piece of paper again, and began to write quickly. He and his brother Zhang Jiuling had served as the governor of the Five Prefectures of Lingnan for many years. He was awarded the title for his contribution to appease the barbarians. However, he has now returned to Chang'an due to illness and has no influence in the center. Although he did not seek any support, he felt very uncomfortable when he thought that Chang'an was now crazy to recommend the wise king, but no one thought that the wronged prince Li Yinge King Li Yaoguang King Li Ju, nor his elder brother Zhang Jiuling, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Home, home"
Hearing this voice, Zhang Jiugao's hand shook slightly, and a drop of ink immediately stained the paper. He raised his head and called in with some annoyance. When an old servant hurried into the study, he asked dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so panicked?"
"My husband, Prime Minister Du personally wrote a letter to the Prime Minister Zhang to ask for a title."
"What?" Zhang Jiugao stood up suddenly, and was surprised and happy on his face, "What the hell is going on? Tell me quickly?"
The old servant was also a person who knew the words and snipped the words. After calming down, he presented a few small pieces of paper with both hands: "The memorial of the Prime Minister Du has been copied out by someone. Please read it carefully."
Zhang Jiugao quickly took the thing in his hand. When he finished reading it at a glance, he was already filled with tears. When his elder brother Zhang Jiuling was in power, he asserted that An Lushan, who was escorted back to Beijing for the crime of losing his laws, was a disaster. He asked to clarify the law of the law and rule the military law, but Li Longji waved his hand to spare. It was this small change that led to the current chaos. Later, the elder brother was demoted and left the capital in a hurry. Although he finally managed to cheer up later and made great achievements in his post, he died young and died in his early sixties. He was posthumously awarded the title of the Grand Governor of Yangzhou, which was a case of being a foreign official.
Now, Du Shiyi actually requested to postpone Zhang Jiuling as the Grand Marshal of the Three Dukes, and at the same time, he added the three ministries of Kaifu Yi and the three ministries to perform an official sacrifice.
"Brother, when you were a colleague of Du Shiyi, you once said that he was young and humble, knowledgeable, and strong, and was determined. He was so proud of his character. Unexpectedly, after many years, others forgot your foresight, but he still remembers you."
Zhang Jiugao muttered to himself for a while, his eyes were completely red. He trembled with his hands and finally took a deep breath. Since someone had come forward to speak justice, let him do the rest.
If Du Shiyi wrote a letter to posthumously awarded the title of Grand Marshal Zhang Jiuling, and also made his foresight towards the An Lushan rebellion a little embarrassed, many officials who were determined to support him, then Zhang Jiugao, who had been resigning from the position of the Five Lingnan Prefectures for more than a year and was idle in a private house in Changlefang, Chang'an, was truly a memorial to shock the sky.
Please return the deposed crown prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao, King Guang Li Ju, posthumous title and posthumous title
It was not until this time that Chang'an officials remembered that before the unjust death of Prince Yisu Li Heng, there were three equally unlucky princes. Because of the slander of Concubine Wu Hui, they were demoted to a commoner by Li Longji, the father-in-law, and were exiled to Lingnan. In less than a few years, they died of illness. At that time, there were many people who secretly spoke for them, but they dared not speak out. Now, after many years, someone finally broke the old case.
Although the people only praised Zhang Jiugao for his justice for the three kings, the ministers all thought that the deposed crown prince Li Ying had left six sons, King Qing Li Cong, without sons, so they kept these six sons. Among them, the brothers Li Shen, King Pingyuan and Li Qi, the deposed crown prince's concubine, were the deposed crown prince's concubine Xue. If Li Ying was recovered, it was really calculated based on the elders and young people of the illegitimate concubine, King Si Qing was considered King Chengsi Qing, and could no longer be considered the son of Li Ying. However, the eldest grandson of King Pingyuan Li Shen, the eldest grandson of King Pingyuan, was much more straight than King Li of Nanyang.
With Zhang Jiugao's memorial, the inside story of the palace that was concealed by Li Longji was quickly leaked from the palace. Concubine Wu Hui forged the edict to summon the three kings into Nanxun Palace, in order to kill the emperor and the three kings. Prince Fengshou Li Mao ascended the throne. Fortunately, the three kings saw through it and brought several high-ranking eunuchs and imperial guards in the eunuch prison to rescue the emperor in danger. However, after the defeat, Concubine Wu Hui was imprisoned, but the three kings were suspicious of the emperor. King Guang Li Ju touched the pillar to express his innocence, but Li Longji still refused. He deposed the three kings as commoners and demoted them to Lingnan.
As soon as this series of truth came out, several familiar officials including Qi Chao, the Minister of Personnel, visited Gao Lishi to verify. Although Gao Lishi was silent, Qi Chao, who was familiar with him, had already concluded from Gao Lishi's sad expression that everything was true. Qi Chao himself was suspicious of Li Linfu because of his closeness to Gao Lishi. He finally escaped a disaster and returned to work in the court. Now that he confirmed such a past, he felt cold in his heart, and at the same time he was also a little gloating.
Throughout history, all the emperors have had their own set of emperor's minds. Li Longji did not do the most out of his own, but he is the most unlucky now. In his old age, his reputation was destroyed. The worst thing is that all the things he hid were brought to his old accounts.
However, Li Longji, who was awake at times, did not know about this. In the past six months, he suffered the biggest setbacks in his life. If it were someone else, he was angry, sick, and injured. He had already died, but he had been stubbornly stubbornly, and this stroke was no exception. Even though his body could no longer move, he could barely say a few vague words, and the lines were all asking about the situation outside. But no matter how he tried to inquire, the several imperial doctors were silent about these. When the emperor asked anxiously, several imperial doctors looked at each other and took their leave.
When he walked out of Xingqing Hall, the leading imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered in a low voice: "If Your Majesty knew what happened outside and was angry, then who could bear that responsibility?"
"After all, it will be five days later to recommend the wise king. If Your Majesty has a long and short position, we will definitely be able to push the jar at that time." Speaking of this, the youngest imperial physician turned his head and looked inside the hall, and suddenly felt that Li Longji was a little pitiful. "I want to come to Your Majesty to ask, but I will never want to know how much trouble there has been outside. It is said that in addition to requesting a letter to posthumously award Zhang Jiuling as the Grand Marshal, the Prime Minister Du also wrote a memorial to ask for the position of marshal."
"Not only, the Prime Minister Du also submitted a petition to Zhaoxue Li Yong, Wang Ju and others for the unjust case, or the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple re-check the case files after Tianbao. At the same time, the children of the unjust officials and the people who were wronged made an appeal for their deceased relatives and friends. For this, many people rushed to tell each other, and even many families set up firecrackers. If there weren't four censors who rushed to take charge, they wouldn't know how many times Dengwen Gu would be beaten on this day."
The imperial physician in charge shook his head and sighed when he said this. He was almost seventy years old. He was born in the late years of Emperor Wu. He passed through Zhongzong and Ruizong. Today, he saw more profound than these young people. His memorials from all these requests to expose the wronged officials and the people were either done by their children and relatives who had a deep relationship with the suffering masters, or they were the new king ascended the throne and wanted to show kindness to the subjects, so he had to act as a gesture to get rid of the old and the new king. But now before the emperor abdicated and the new king ascended the throne, he spread all this series of things to the table. Even if the new king ascended the throne in the future, he would handle this kindness first on Du Shiyi.
For example, this time, if Du Shiyi did not write a letter, please posthumously award the title of Grand Marshal Zhang Jiuling, and the founding of the Ministry of State Yi and the Third Session, Zhang Jiugao will write a letter to posthumously to restore the position of Prince and Prince of Li Ying and the other three?
After Zhang said that, Zhang Jiuling became a literary figure, and he promoted many literati and poets, whether he was a foreign official or a prime minister. Therefore, even though Du's house was closed to thank the guests, due to Zhang Jiuling's posthumous title, there were still people who came to visit him regardless of Zhang Jiuling's posthumous title. When Du Shiyi looked at the few greetings sent by Azle himself, he saw that it was Wang Wei, Du Fu, Wang Changling, and Cen Shen, and immediately laughed.
"Mojie Sutra Zhang Wenxian recommended it as the Left Master. Du Zimei always regretted offering Zhang Wenxian but failed. It would be fine if they both came over. Unexpectedly, even Shao Bo and Xiao Cen came to join in the fun, they were old friends and assistants, and I couldn't keep my purity. I sent a command to go out, open the door, and welcome guests."
The gate of Du's house was open to welcome guests, and Du Shiyi personally held a banquet to entertain his old friends and subordinates. When this news spread, before the people who visited Du's family returned to their homes, a large number of people gathered at their doorstep to inquire about the news. Among them, the Censor Wang Jin was immediately surrounded by his colleagues, superiors and subordinates.
"Xia Qing, you are in-laws with the Cui family, and the Cui family is in-laws with the Du family. You didn't know anything you said before, but now Brother Ling has met Prime Minister Du, can you still hide it?"
"It's not just Brother Ling, Wang Zhongcheng, as far as I know, after Brother Ling moved to the left, you had a close relationship with Prime Minister Du. Even when the Prime Minister Zhang Hedong was in power, the new house was completed. You followed Prime Minister Du and even recited a poem."
"Wang Zhongcheng, now it's almost a mess outside. You can say one word to make everyone feel at ease."
Wang Jin felt upset and at the end he didn't care whether he offended someone. He slapped the handrail and stood up, then said with a sinister face: "I am me, Prime Minister Du is Prime Minister Du, but I will not be the brother of Daqi, Du is the chief minister, and he is close to each other. I also have a relationship with Prime Minister Du, but that is a youthful matter. How can I depose my public for personal gain? If it were me, I could say something clear here. The King of Nanyang is the second son of Prince Yisu, and of course he should inherit the throne in terms of etiquette and law."
Seeing the people around him showing doubtful expressions, they beat him again, and they tried again. After a while, they gradually left, Wang Jin couldn't help but get something up and threw it on the ground. If it weren't for Zhang Jiugao's memorial to pursue Prince Li Ying, the dominant position of King Li of Nanyang would be unshakable, but now this variable is too great
