After Da Tou left, he closed the door and lay down on the bed. Although it was already the third watch, he was completely sleepless. He was very worried about Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu, because both of them were charged with treason. There is an idiom called "Heinous".

Rebellion is one of the ten evils.

If it was just a simple rebellion, there might be a possibility of being pardoned by the emperor and summoned to peace. However, Chen Liqiu once killed Prince Hong, the emperor's uncle, which is why the emperor could not recruit him.

In addition to worrying about Chen Liqiu and Li Zhongyong, he was also worried about Takeda Mayumi. Takeda Mayumi gave him the hairpin containing the map, allowing him to exchange the real Dragon Vein Continuation Map. This move was tantamount to betraying his own people.

Where will Chen Liqiu and Li Zhongyong go in the future? Where will Takeda Mayumi go in the future?

After dawn, Datou came over to say farewell. What should be said was already said last night. Previously, the Ni family had given a gold seal, and the seal of the gold seal was also distributed to all the properties of the Ni family. As long as you hold this gold seal

, you can withdraw silver from any shop under the Ni family, and give the gold seal to Datou, so that he can allocate money, rice and grain to support Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu.

After sending Datou away, he came to the court to handle the official affairs of the Yushitai as usual. After Chen Shi, Yang Kai returned, only to learn that the court had approved his proposal to mobilize the imperial army to go to the local prefectures and counties to handle the case with the Yushi. The Imperial Army was at any time, as long as the Yushi

Once you are ready, you can leave the palace and go with you.

It is customary for him to go to the Ministry of Finance after handling the official duties of the Yushitai, but today he did not go to the Ministry of household affairs, not because he did not want to go, but because there was an endless stream of visitors after the dynasty, and those who came to visit were all high-ranking ministers.

Including officials from various ministries and officials from the three provinces of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province.

There are various reasons for visiting, but there is only one purpose, and that is to intercede for the local officials under investigation. The reason why these officials did not come before and now is because Shi Linyun came to intercede yesterday and did not encounter a problem. Shi Linyun must also have his close colleagues, Zhang San told

Li Si, Li Si told Wang Wu, and soon everyone knew that he was still very humane.

The reason why we gathered together to visit is because the emperor has agreed to send the imperial army to handle the case together with the censor. If the censor does not seize the time to come and intercede, the censor will be punished.

and the Imperial Guard are about to be sent out.

I still dare to make the decision if I spare a few, but I don’t dare to make a random decision when it comes to large-scale favoritism and perversion of the law, because if we spare a lot of mercy on a large scale, the effect of rectifying the administration will definitely be unsatisfactory. After careful consideration, I decided to give the emperor a break. Jane’s meaning

Explain the situation concisely and ask the emperor to make a decision.

After the first excerpt was written, I felt it was inappropriate, and then destroyed it and rewrote it. I couldn't simply ask the emperor for instructions on what to do. As the emperor, I couldn't just let him bend the law for personal gain and let the convicted officials spend money to solve the problem.

If it violates the majesty of the Emperor, the good guys must be left to the Emperor, and the blame must be borne by oneself.

The general content of the rewritten memorial is that the top priority at the moment is to raise money to provide relief to the victims and to pacify those feudal towns that support their own troops. At this juncture, rectifying the administration and punishing severely is not conducive to the stability of the situation. Is it possible to deal with the guilty officials who have repented?

Small punishments and big warnings, but mercy outside the law.

Yang Kai was responsible for delivering the memorial to the palace, and soon brought back the emperor's oral instructions, "You will weigh it yourself."

The meaning of this is not difficult to understand. It is up to you to decide. Although it does not seem to be a clear reply, it actually shows the emperor's acquiescence. The reason why the emperor acquiesces is largely because of those guilty ministers.

"Already have a heart of repentance", what does it mean to have a heart of repentance? Talking about it is definitely not enough. If you want to prove that you have a heart of repentance, you have to come up with something practical.

After receiving the emperor's reply, he felt confident. However, he did not respond to the requests of the visiting ministers. Instead, he pretended to be entangled and faced various difficulties. He only said that he was currently worrying about the shortage of money and food for disaster relief, but in fact he did not have the energy to do so.

Strict investigation and strict punishment are required. As long as the offender "really has a heart to repent," there is no need to punish the offender and confiscate his or her home.

Officials who hold high positions are all smart people, so they naturally know what he means. As long as they know that there is room for change, they know what to do.

One day I met with more than a dozen officials, drank a lot of tea, and finally came to an end when it was time to start the watch, so I took Mr. Hei out and wanted to ride to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a graceful figure appearing on the street on the west side. Night had fallen by now. I looked closely and saw that it was Zhang Mo who had been away for a long time.

When he saw Zhang Mo, his heartbeat quickened instantly, and he hurriedly rushed towards him, "Uncle, why are you here?"

"Come and see you." Zhang Mo said with a smile.

His feelings for Zhang Mo are quite complicated. Zhang Mo is his savior and his uncle, but at this time, including Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo himself, they have already recognized him. When they think about this fairy-like woman in front of him, he will become

My partner's heartbeat was racing because of nervousness, and his palms were sweating. Even though he tried very hard to appear relaxed and casual, his expression was still unnatural, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "How are you, uncle?"

"Alright." Zhang Mo nodded. .??.

While the two were talking, Mr. Hei walked up to Zhang Mo, curled his lips and sniffed it, and when he saw it, he quickly pushed it away.

Seeing Zhang Mo carrying a baggage and a long sword in his hand, he knew that she had just arrived in Chang'an and had not yet settled down, so he hurriedly raised his hand sideways and said, "Let's go in and talk."

As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the Yushitai, someone from the east called out, "Sir."

Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw that the person speaking was a young man who looked like a clerk.

Just as he was sizing up this person, the young man quickly approached, bowed deeply and said, "Sir, Shopkeeper Song, please go back at your convenience."

Hearing this person's words, I remembered that this person was a clerk at Taiping Inn. He had previously entrusted Song Cai to handle several things. Song Cai sent a clerk to invite him. It must be that something has made progress.

"Okay," he nodded and said, "You go back first, I will make time to go there later."

The waiter nodded in agreement, turned and left.

After the guy leaves, go with Zhang Mo

Entering the Yushitai, he casually explained to Zhang Mo as he walked, "This person is a clerk at the Taiping Inn. The Taiping Inn has been operating for many years and has accumulated a lot of Taoist magic weapons. The uncle invited eight Ziqi Zhenren to accompany him that day.

Master Ni was grateful for protecting everyone in the Ni family. Before he left, he told me to select some magical artifacts and give them to you as a token of gratitude. After returning from the Western Regions, those immortals rushed directly to the south of the Yangtze River to join you, so those magical artifacts have never been seen.

It’s too late to give it to them.”

Zhang Mo was very curious after hearing this, "What magic weapons are there?"

"I haven't seen it either, so I don't know," he shook his head and said, "Uncle, you came at the right time. You are well-informed. Let's go over and have a look later."

"Okay," Zhang Mo nodded and said, "I will take it with you when I leave tomorrow and give it to them."

There was a guest room in the Yushitai, but Zhang Mo was not taken there. Instead, he was invited to the backyard where he lived. In addition to the main room, the backyard also had an east wing and a west wing. The west wing was transformed into

Stables, and the east wing is a spare bedroom.

He brought Zhang Mo into the bedroom, lit the lamps and candles, Zhang Mo briefly looked around the room, and then put the sword and the baggage on the bed.

He called the officer, who brought him hot water and made a pot of hot tea. Then he sat down with Zhang Mo and talked.

Facing Zhang Mo, Duo was nervous and didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo seemed a little nervous too, didn't talk much, and lost the previous casualness and calmness.

After several silences, Zhang Mo asked casually, "How are you doing lately? Has anything unusual happened?"

"I'm okay," he said, "I've been busy raising money for the court. By the way, Uncle Master, I have something to ask you."

"What?" Zhang Mo tilted his head.

I wanted to ask Zhang Mo about the dragon vein map, which was of great importance, so I moved closer to Zhang Mo. I was about to speak in a low voice, but suddenly I realized that something seemed wrong.
