Chapter 372 No one is righteous and no pity

Before, when Du Shiyi was promoted to the left-handed edict, the emperor had already traveled to Luoyang, so he had never tasted the taste of walking with the way. In the first month of the year, Li Longji began to travel west to Bingzhou, and he deeply understood how boring it was. He walked slowly, lived poorly, and did not expect too much food. Moreover, because there were too many people, even if he had money, he could not buy things that were suitable for use.

Moreover, it was not only a patrol by the emperor, but also a large number of chariots, horses, entourages, and civil and military officials. The food, drinking, water, and many other miscellaneous items required by these people, and more husbands, mules and horses were transported. The consumption of these husbands, mules and horses was also extremely considerable. In addition, in order to support the expenses of the emperor and his party along the way, all these were known to be an extremely terrifying number without counting.

Therefore, the emperor has never left the palace easily because the emperor moves, and all the people are not enough to worship him.

Fortunately, Du Shiyi received a reminder from Pei Cui before his trip, including jerky, grain, oil noodles... and all the laundry and bedding. Although the accommodation and food along the way were not so good, he finally arrived in Bingzhou safely. Looking at the officials accompanying him, there were many dishes. Fortunately, Bingzhou is one of the important towns in the north. Although so many people flocked to the city at once, they had a good time to deal with it. Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang said that they had served as chief officials here, and the Jinyang Palace had been repaired many times, so there were no major mistakes. The only problem was the residence problems of civil and military officials.

Du Shiyi had been to Bingzhou before and had a close relationship with Wang Han. He found that Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang Shuo both had their own private houses. He knew that the most prominent mansion in Bingzhou would be remembered by high-ranking officials and nobles. After a change of thought, he mentioned Yuan Qianyao. The old prime minister was worried that the houses were not suitable for use. Since Du Shiyi said so, he invited Pei Cui and introduced him by Du Shiyi. One of the ministers and the yellow ministers of the servants of the family lived in Wang Han. Naturally, Du Shiyi borrowed the guest houses he had lived in without hesitation.

The most worried thing about the housekeeper, Mr. Lin, was that the princes and nobles took a fancy to their own owner's private house. If something happened, it would be difficult to explain. Therefore, Du Shiyi attracted two famous officials, Yuan Qianyao and Pei Cui, to keep the house, and he was naturally relieved. When he brought Du Shiyi to the guest room, he said embarrassedly: "Mr. Du Langjun, with your friendship with my husband, you shouldn't let you live in this simple guest house..."

"The Yuan Xiangguo and the Minister Pei both live in the garden on the West Road. The middle road is the residence of your master. Can I still occupy the nest of a guest? Your guest house is elegant and clean. I am better than looking for a house like a headless fly outside. Since you know that Wang Liu and I have a good relationship, don't be so polite. Your Majesty may have to stay in Bingzhou for ten days and half a month, and I have to spend at least ten days and half a month here."

"It will be fine no matter how long Du Langjun needs to live."

Hundreds of officials were powerful enough to free up their houses and wealthy rented houses. As for more people, they could only stay in hotels. In the words of the people of Bingzhou, that is, they had never seen many princes, princes, princes, and ministers in their lives.

This northern tour was undoubtedly Li Longji's graceful journey. From the time of departure, he had amnesty for the world and reduced taxes and labor service ranging from one to five years. The martial arts and the officials who followed him were also talented. If there was no official position and they were indeed talented, the officials would be awarded the official after the report... Not only that, they would also have the honor of upgrading to Bingzhou. Within two days after the emperor arrived in Bingzhou, the Secretariat issued a letter based on the wishes of the emperor, and Bingzhou was the Taiyuan Prefecture and the Northern Capital of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the old rules of Jingzhao Prefecture and Henan Prefecture, and the Governor of Bingzhou was the Taiyuan Prefecture.

During this celebration, Zhang Jiazhen's brother Zhang Jiazhen's corruption and abuse of power suddenly broke out without any warning. Within two days, more than a dozen memorials were sent to the imperial court by the Shangshu Province. Cui Taizhi, the left minister of Shangshu, originally wanted to suppress it, but when the first two became seven or eight, and finally more than ten, he did not dare to delay. The only thing he could do was to send a letter to Zhang Jiazhen. Even so, Zhang Jiazhen, caught off guard, was still in shock and anger and uneasiness.

"The good thing you did" Although the emperor has not shown any attitude, when he returned to his private house on the evening of the day, he scolded Zhang Jiaqu, "It was all you and I who can do this in the Zhang family today. You can do such a big mess, which makes me not even prepared."

"One person does things and one person is responsible. The crime should be matched or derogatory. Whatever you should do is do." Zhang Jiaqu was a little dissatisfied, and showed a deep sarcastic look on his face. "It's nothing more than Zhang Shuoyuan Gan Yao wants to overthrow his brother. He can't find any crime on his brother, so he came to vent his anger and say that he was greedy. Apart from Song Guangping, how many civil and military officials in the court dared to say that they really didn't care about their money?"

"That's the case, but the situation is different." Zhang Jiazhen scolded him, but he and his younger brother were deeply in love. He boldly asked to transfer his younger brother to Xinzhou, which was adjacent to Bingzhou, because of this love. Thinking of the fact that he had been dealing with one stick on the left and one stick on the right, he had dealt with one person after another. If someone used this to deal with Zhang Jiaqu, he would be really unable to say anything about his suffering.

"Are those things that tell you about corruption really... undeniable?"

"I'm afraid that since they have reported it, they must have evidence at hand... but the money involved is not worth much." Zhang Jiaqu did not dare to hide it in front of his brother. Seeing Zhang Jiazhen asking about the specific numbers again, he muttered, "It's only one or two thousand guan..."

"For such a little money, you have so many handles in your hands." Zhang Jiazhen was angry and anxious, and wanted to teach her a lesson again, but it was too late at this time. Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and say, "You write a letter to apologize, be sincere, brother, I will have someone to defend you for a few more words, hope the saint can make a fuss."

If you don't expect this sudden political storm, it was Zhang Jiazhen and his confidants, the rest of the people and other bystanders who had already noticed the hidden crisis under the series of things. Therefore, when Zhang Jiaqu wrote to apologize, but the emperor did not reply for a long time, the letter posted a letter saying that Zhang Jiaqi was guilty, and even several colleagues of Du Shiyi had the urge to try.

Cui Jianxuan and Du Shisanniang rushed back to Chang'an to participate in this year's provincial examination, and Wang Jin and Cui Hao did not follow him to Taiyuan either. However, under the recommendation of Zhang Shuo, Wang Han, who had just been promoted to the right-hand man, rushed to Taiyuan in the wind and snow, and happened to encounter this big storm. He moved into his home two high-ranking officials, Yuan Gan Yao and Pei Cui, but he didn't care at all. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he immediately went to the guesthouse to meet Du Shiyi.

"Du Shijiu"

"Congratulations to Wang Liu, who will be the newest member of the Secretariat in the future"

"What a new high? I'm so old, it's almost the same as saying that I'm an old ghost." Wang Han laughed and sat down opposite Du Shiyi, then asked, "Can Mr. Jiazhen solve this disaster?"

"If you want to offend your benefactor, you can try it. What's more, the person who impeached Zhang Jiaqu and not Zhang Jiazhen. You have just been promoted to the right-hand man and the saint has not yet taken any measures. What else can you do at this time?"

Du Shiyi sighed when he saw Wang Han, knowing that he was first appreciated by Zhang Jiazhen, and Zhang Shuo was later known to have the kindness of being met, so he struggled. Thinking that Dou Xian and others came to test him and whether he was willing to jointly impeach Zhang Jia, he couldn't help but sneer. He has always been a timely helper, and when did he do something to put down the insult? Even when Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang Jiaqu were standing by the well, he was the first to pull the stone at their feet. But now he has cleared it, so why are he still going to disturb him? Pushing people down the well without wetting their hands. This is the highest level. He is just an eighth-grade pick-up, and he doesn't want to be the target of public criticism.

"Sit and wait for the changes."

"Oh, I can only relieve my sorrows with drunkenness... I'm afraid that when Jiazhen's husband really falls, I will be thrown into a glass of wine when I go to see him off."

It was not until this time that Zhang Jiazhen realized what Jiang Du felt at that time. After Zhang Jiaqu wrote a letter to apologize, he was sent to the Censorate Prison. He, as the prime minister, could not find out any news within a few days. However, this matter was delayed again and again, until the emperor set off from Taiyuan Prefecture and returned to Jinzhou. Zhang Jia, who was detained, still had no news. He didn't even know if he was still intact. For the first time as a prime minister, he fell into indescribable confusion. On the day he came out of the palace and saw others retreating, he felt even more lonely and lonely.

But at this moment, a voice came from his ears: "Brother Jiazhen."

Seeing that Zhang Shuo was walking up slowly, Zhang Jiazhen's face suddenly darkened. He thought Zhang Shuo was here to mock him, but Zhang Shuo just said casually: "Brothers are in love, and Brother Jiazhen is a common thing to worry about. Since this dynasty, countless people have pleaded for their close relatives and have made love clear for their close relatives. Who can avoid the common people? If Brother Jiazhen really wants to plead for his brother, it is better to accept the crimes. Such a saint may reward you with deep brotherhood as before."

Zhang said this idea so much that Zhang Jiazhen was moved. However, he and Zhang Shuo had always been disagreeing, but he didn't believe that he would suddenly be kind here. After seeing that he finished speaking, he just bowed and left. He wanted to consult his confidant again, but thinking about these days they were all like headless flies and were in control. He couldn't help but give up this idea again. When he walked forward not far, he saw Du Shiyi as if he was talking to a woman pretending to be. Suddenly he didn't want to meet the stinky child, so he snorted coldly and walked out.

Standing beside Du Shiyi was nothing but Wang Rong. Princess Yuzhen returned to Chang'an alone, but Princess Jinxian wanted to see the appearance of Bingzhou, so she followed her all the way. Today, she went to the palace and presented the spring water she had obtained before at the order of Princess Jinxian. However, she did not expect to leave the palace to meet Du Shiyi, who also sent the documents of the ministry to the palace. Du Shiyi's life-saving grace to her is known to everyone outside, so she was surprised to see her at this moment, and she didn't expect to be suspected by outsiders.

Seeing Zhang Jiazhen turn back, Wang Rong laughed in a low voice and said, "You are so majestic, Zhang Xiangguo saw you."

"He was just frustrated, so he naturally disliked me even more." Du Shiyi thought that he had just seen Zhang Shuo go out of the palace, so he sneered, "God knows what the Shuo Shuo said to him. I took advantage of the fact that I was just sending the document and went to join in the fun first."

"You said you were joining in the fun, but you actually want to exhale?"
