"The conspiracy of this cruel official cannot be allowed to succeed."

Just as the crowd was indignantly despising Xue Dading, a voice was particularly loud.

The person who spoke was Zheng Hao. He was dismissed from office by Li Chengqian in Chang'an. He was really envious, jealous and hated the important officials around Li Chengqian.

"Yes, this cruel official can't succeed."

...

This statement was like burning oil on fire, making the atmosphere in the hall more lively.

After hearing this, Li Bancheng, who had been covering his face and sobbing, pretended to wipe away his tears, raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

When everyone looked at him, he said powerlessly: "Xue Dading was originally the Minister of Works, and he was supported by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court. I heard that he had a second-rank official who had been granted the title of him as a second-rank literary official a few days ago.

He came here to build a reservoir and said that it was to control the floods of the Yi River, but in fact it was to repair the Yi River. He gave coal from the mountains of Yichuan County to His Royal Highness the Prince to make steel.

Who can stop what they want to do?”

"well--"

Everyone was so angry that they heard this, and there were sighs in the hall.

Seeing this, Li Bancheng looked at Dou Lu Yan intentionally or unintentionally. Dou Lu Yan moved his heart and took a small step forward slowly.

It was not until he walked to the middle of the hall that he raised his hand and bowed to the crowd, "Please listen to me."

Seeing this, Li Bancheng immediately asked sincerely: "I wonder what kind of opinions Mr. Doulu has?"

Just when Zheng Hao looked at Dou Lu Yan in surprise, Li Bancheng had already started supporting the role.

Seeing that some people around him who didn't know him were looking at him with scrutiny, Dou Lu Yan smiled and said, "Gao Jian is not a question, but--" When he said this, his eyes floated left and right.

Li Bancheng immediately understood and loudly praised Dou Lu Yan and said, "Hey! Lord Dou Lu is from Changli Dou Lu family, and the nephew of Taichang Qing Dou Lu Xianchao. He has been an official in Chang'an for many years and is with him at the side of Lord Dou Lu. Your knowledge must be higher than that of us!"

Li Bancheng's praise was very useful. Everyone in the hall was indeed interested in what Dou Lu Yan was going to say below. Someone who was enthusiastic even begged: "Please give us a way out."

Seeing this, Dou Luyan pretended to behave and said, "My uncle was dismissed by His Royal Highness because of his admonition. I resigned from my post and returned home because of being implicated. I used to recuperate in Luoyang City these days, but today I was summoned by Mr. Li to have a banquet. I didn't want to encounter such a thing.

The foreigners were not willing to talk too much, but when they thought that the people of Yichuan were innocent, they were very enthusiastic, so they had to express their opinions and ask you to attend the first and second."

"Mr. Doulu doesn't have to be too humble. What you said must be good!" Li Bancheng continued to support the role.

"right!"

...

After Dou Lu Yan's performance that he wanted to refuse but was welcomed and Li Bancheng's full support, Dou Lu Yan completely became the center of the hall. Even all those who had doubted him were suspicious of him, standing forward, ready to listen to his high arguments.

"Just just now, Li Langjun said that Xue Dading has the crown prince as his backer, and he can do whatever he wants regardless of the people's lives. This is right, and the crown prince is the crown prince of a country. In my opinion, it is indeed unattainable. But it is difficult to say that it can go against the will of heaven and the people, and it is difficult to last forever. Not to mention that His Majesty is wise and arbitrary today, this will not happen.

If he really can achieve his wish for a while, it will be difficult for you to see the former Emperor Yang of Sui who cruelly abused the people and died and destroyed the country?"

When Doulu Yangang said this, a local gentry named Hongtu in Yichuan hurriedly interrupted him: "Mr. Doulu, please be careful. You cannot easily say this if you commit a rebellion."

Although these gentry were dissatisfied with the court's destruction of the Feng Shui and the water canal and reservoir construction in Yichuan, they still dared not to ask them to immediately raise the flag and rebel.

When everyone heard this, they felt that Dou Luyan had said this. Some people nodded and followed Hong Tu and said, "This matter must be because Xue Dading wants to take credit, and it is not about His Royal Highness's business."

They did not just defend Li Chengqian, but left some hope for themselves.

"Hahaha"

Dou Luyan laughed and clasped his fists again and said, "You are misunderstanding what I mean. What I said just now is the same as you think. This is either the prince's prince is unaware of it or the emperor is unaware of it.

In short, if His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty knew the details of this matter, they would not have forced the canal to be built here regardless of the public opinion. They even destroyed the Fengshui of a place to destroy the feng shui of the place, so you don’t have to worry about the Xue Dading.”

Li Bancheng heard this and hurriedly bowed to Dou Lu Yan and sincerely asked for advice: "But now Xue Dading ignored the lives and death of the people and ordered the soldiers to disperse our elders who went to petition for Yichuan County.

If the petitioner is beaten, the people will inevitably feel resentful towards the court, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

I would also like to ask Lord Dou Lu for advice to save me from this disaster in Yichuan County. Li thanked the whole county’s elders.”

Li Bancheng said so seriously, and some people in the hall became anxious, looking at Dou Lu Yan and hoped that he could say something useful.

Dou Lu Yan hurriedly replied to Li Bancheng with fear and fear, "How can I see the people of a county suffering without saving you? Here is a way to tell me that everyone will work together to save the elders of Yichuan County from the fire and water.

As I think Xue Dading is cruel and unkind, the people should not confront him head-on. I would like to go with Li Langjun to persuade the people to go home.

In addition, I heard that the governor Dai of Luozhou has been inspecting the local area these days, and today it is time to pass. The governor Dai is the son of Dai Zhou, the deceased minister of Shangshu, the Duke of Daoguo. The Duke of Daoguo passed on his loyalty and filial piety. The governor Dai adheres to the family motto of Daoguo, and he is diligent in his subordinates and loves the people and dares to be arrogant and straightforward, and is deeply favored by His Majesty.

We will write a memorial to His Majesty in a joint letter and ask Governor Dai to hand it over to His Majesty’s desk in Luoyang.”

"Your Majesty is in Luoyang?"

Although Luoyang is very close to Yichuan County, the news was blocked at this time. Li Shimin did not make any big publicity when he came to Luoyang this time. Some gentry who did not care about current affairs did not know that Li Shimin was in Luoyang.

Dou Lu Yan smiled at everyone after hearing this, saying, "When Your Majesty brought down the Palace of King Jin, Master Zheng Hongwen and I were also coming to Luoyang from Chang'an, and we were well aware of this."

When a group of local scholars from Ikawa heard this, they mistakenly thought that Dou Lu Yan was with him. They didn't feel awe of Dou Lu Yan and no longer had any doubts about what he said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's write a joint memorial and then go to the city to persuade the elders to go home." The fat man Li Bancheng said excitedly on his face.

Dou Lu Yan smiled slightly when he heard this, pointed to everyone, Zheng Hao standing beside him and said, "I admire Zheng Hongwen the most in Chang'an. Master Zheng is from the Zheng family in Xingyang and has five surnames and seven hopes to the world, so I suggest that this memorial be written by Master Zheng. How about we sign it?"

"Okay! We can naturally be asked for it if we can be written by Master Zheng." Li Bancheng quickly agreed.

Zheng Hao stood beside him and listened for a long time and understood what happened today.

Seeing that Dou Lu Yan had done everything and gave him the opportunity to stand out, he was very grateful. Seeing that a group of scholars in Yichuan County asked him to write the article, he agreed with a little reserved.

Now that Zheng Hao wrote the memorial here, he saw a big boat coming from upstream. Someone recognized it and said to everyone in surprise: "It's God who really helped me. Isn't that the boat of the governor Dai?"

Regardless of the continuous autumn rain, the gentry ran out of Linyixie and ran towards Dai Zhide's ship like a young beast throwing his arms.
