Chapter 62: I request His Majesty to order the restoration of Shen Feng

一
Shen Feng's plea for the people's livelihood in Danzhou failed, so the emperor issued three more edicts to urge Zhang Yan to further recruit militiamen and shorten the construction period.

Danzhou was under unprecedented pressure from the corvee, and complaints arose for a while. Wen Shu and Wen Yi hatched a plan to spread the news to the people that Shen Feng had been demoted after begging for mercy. The people of Danzhou were agitated, complaining about Shen Feng's injustice and the Tian family's ruthlessness. , regardless of people's livelihood.

What's more, in some counties, a small group of migrant workers made trouble and went to the capital to beg the emperor for an explanation.

You Hanting worried that the people would jeopardize his chances of becoming an official in the court, so he led the county soldiers to crusade twice, and suppressed the small-scale rioting forces by force. As a result, just as one was suppressed, another riot started.Moreover, troubles continue to occur, and there is a strong joint posture.

You Hanting couldn't clean up, so he could only hand over the paperwork to Zhang Yan and report it.

After reading You Hanting's documents, Zhang Yan looked up at Wen Yi in the tent, a little surprised: "Did you do it?"

Wen Yi smiled and acquiesced.

"Nonsense." Zhang Yan cursed, but there was not much anger on his face.

"Beizhao Prefectures are all the people of this day. There is no one who favors one over another. We just want His Majesty to see more of Dan Prefecture, adopt Shen Feng's suggestions, and start a new era with the people." Wen Yi clasped his fists and lowered his eyes and said respectfully.

"What you are doing is cheating. If you don't pay attention, you will harm the country. Be careful and let your husband hear about it. He will come from Quanzhou and beat you with a ruler." Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and feigned anger.

"Don't you also want Shen Feng to return to the official position? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked Madam Pan to help them and place them in Qianming Village at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain." Wen Yi raised his head and looked at Zhang Yan, smiling brightly at him. .

"You don't look like an official, but a profiteer who does nothing for nothing." Zhang Yan scolded with a smile.

"It's impossible for an official to be spotless. It's enough for me to have my own bottom line in my heart." Wen Yi spread his hands, "What's more, you agree with my idea in your heart, right? Otherwise, how can you worship the governor while Mr. Zhang Jue You don’t want to be an official in the court, but you just want to teach and educate people?”

"You brat." Zhang Yan threw You Hanyong's documents at Wen Yi.

Wen Yi accepted it with a smile, flipped through the book, and sneered: "You are so clean when you pick yourself off. It is clear that the number of dead civilians is ten times the number of dead and wounded armored soldiers, but he did not report a word. Your Excellency, you really want to do this." Can such a person become an official in the royal capital?"

Zhang Yan picked up the teacup and turned the lid, looked at the tea leaves in the water and said lightly: "In fact, it is easier for such a person to enter the court than to stay in the local area."

Wen Yi understood clearly: "Xiao has benefited a lot, benefited a lot."

Zhang Yan looked at Wen Yi with more approval and said with a smile: "You kid, you have more eyes than anyone else. If you don't have anything else to do, just get out."

"Xiao Mou excuses himself." Wen Yi smiled happily, saluted, turned around, lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.

Zhang Yan chose the right time to report the rebellion of the people of Danzhou to the court.

Qi Weijun summoned Zhang Yan back to the capital to report on his duties.

Zhang Yan entered the palace according to the order and made an impassioned speech in Zihe Palace, which attracted Min Duo.

Seeing that Qi Weijun didn't speak and seemed to be deep in thought, Min Duo took the opportunity to pour water and said softly: "Your Majesty, Shen, there is a copy of Mr. Shen's documents in the Central Publishing House, right..."

Qi Weijun glanced sideways at Min Duo: "You bastard, do you still want your head?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Min Duo then realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly knelt down to apologize.

All the attendants in the palace knelt on the ground.

"Why is your Majesty so angry?" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Old Shacai, and Wen Yi's savage monkey came to make things difficult for me, do you really think I was in the dark?" Qi Weijun said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill Shen Yan in a fit of anger?"

"Your Majesty is a wise king and will not kill remonstrating ministers. What's more, didn't His Majesty punish Shen Feng to farm because he thought he didn't have enough experience?" Zhang Yan said with a smile. "His Majesty has never blamed him for advising on people's livelihood."

Qi Weijun tapped his fingers on the case: "He should not be an admonisher, but a close minister of mine."

"Your Majesty should have understood this when he appointed him the official." Zhang Yan's smile faded a bit, and he bowed his head and said respectfully, "In Shen Ceng's heart, people's livelihood is more important than his own life. How can he be willing to let go of his bottom line? , a close minister of the emperor?" "Insolent." Qi Weijun scolded in a low voice.

"He Shen Feng has the backbone, and he has the backbone to come to me? I don't want to do what you bastards want. I give you a month limit to quell the civil unrest in Danzhou. If you can't do it, you can go back to Quanzhou to farm. My court does not support idlers."

Zhang Yan smiled lightly and knelt down: "I have been immersed in the court for a long time, it is really difficult to do it."

"Zhang Yan, are you despising Tianwei?" Qi Weijun's eyes narrowed, showing a dangerous look.

"I don't dare." Zhang Yan kowtowed to the ground, "But I beg your Majesty to suspend the fortifications of the South Great Wall and start a new chapter with the people."

"You!" Qi Weijun came up with a mouthful of blood, and coughed violently while clutching his chest.

"Your Majesty!" Min Duo hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief, and then skillfully helped the emperor to calm down, and then asked the waiter to bring tea to the emperor.

Qi Weijun slowed down, stopped Min Duo's hand, raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Yan: "I don't know the important thing of recuperating people's livelihood, but I can't wait any longer. Beizhao will fight with Xiliang, and the situation in the south will endanger you, Danzhou. The governor couldn't understand more. I want to leave a peaceful and prosperous era for future generations, don't you understand me?"

"Your Majesty, everything happens for its own reason. Don't rush it. Rushing will cause chaos." Zhang Yan raised his head and advised.

"Your Majesty left Shen Feng to the next emperor, why not let him serve the people's livelihood now? Dynasties change, and our generation cannot do so many things. I ask your Majesty to think again!"

"You!" Qi Weijun gasped and swept all the documents on the imperial case to the ground, "I have no other choice, get out of here!"

Zhang Yan saw Qi Weijun's worried face and had no choice but to stand up.

"Zhang Jue, the academic instructor of Danzhou County, wants to see the Emperor!" Zhang Jue's calm voice came from outside the gate of Zihe Palace.

Zhang Yan and Qi Weijun were both stunned.

Qi Weijun glanced at Zhang Yan: "What is he here for?"

Zhang Yan bowed his head and said, "I don't know."

"Send him to come in." Qi Weijun barely calmed down his anger, and waved his hand irritably.

Min Duo understood and exited the door.

After a while, Zhang Jue, dressed in an indigo robe, a Confucian crown, and full of immortal demeanor, entered the gate of Zihe Palace calmly, and greeted the emperor: "Minister Zhang Jue, pay homage to the emperor, and ask the emperor's sage. Gong Jinan."

"I'm sorry, please get up." Qi Weijun said impatiently, "You are no longer my minister, why did you enter the palace rashly?"

"Your Majesty, Shen Feng is my student. His outspoken remonstrances offended Tian Yan. This is because I did not teach him carefully. However, he cares about the people of Danzhou..."

"Another one comes to plead for Shen Feng." Qi Weijun sneered, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I request your majesty to order the restoration of Shenjie, the suspension of the fortifications of the South Great Wall of Danzhou, and the renewal of the people." Zhang Jue paid his respects.

"Are your Zhang family going to rebel today?" Qi Weijun asked, "Get out of here while I don't have time to talk to you now!"

"If your majesty is embarrassing the war with Xiliang, I am willing to serve your majesty, hold the talisman, and send an envoy to Xiliang to temporarily calm the conflict between the two countries." Zhang Jue raised his eyes and looked at Qi Weijun, his eyes were clear and he said calmly and seriously.

Qi Weijun stopped Jin Wuwei who came up to drive Zhang Jue and Zhang Yan in vain. He seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this method. He looked directly into Zhang Jue's eyes for a moment and said slowly: "How sure are you? Can you How long will the war be delayed?"

"I am [-]% sure that we can postpone the war between the two countries for seven years." Zhang Jue said neither humble nor arrogantly, "If this is not done, I will die to apologize."

Qi Weijun looked at Zhang Jue, who was quite a scholar, and pondered for a while: "You go back first and let me think about it carefully."

"My minister retire."

"My minister retire."
