    Yan Zhui was a little distracted.

    He has been busy for some time and has not returned to the house for two days.

    Emperor Jia'an's words reminded him of his bet with Fu Minghua.

    Failure to deal with the minor matters in the Changlehou Mansion will trap the Changlehou Mansion in panic and fear. In this case, if Feng Wanying still does not change his original intention, the arrogant young lady in the Changlehou Mansion will have no choice but to do so.  Married.

    That day, Fu Minghua was worried that he would do anything, but he did nothing. He should have won the bet.

    A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously. The pen he held in his hand had been in the inkstone for a long time, but he never picked it up.

    Emperor Jia'an lowered his eyelids and reached out to pull the memorial in his hand. He quickly became alert. He tightened his grip first, then realized what he was doing and let it go. The brush was already filled with bright red cinnabar ink.

    He picked up the pen and tapped it on the edge of the inkstone as if nothing had happened. He looked at the ink that looked like blood and looked calmly.

    Emperor Jia'an opened the folder he had just taken from him. It had not yet been marked. He took a sip of tea and asked:

    "What's the secret here?"

    He asked casually, but his words contained an oppressive tone.

    Yan Zhui smiled slightly and said, "Yin Sunhao of Huazhou Prefecture accused Zhang Yun, the magistrate of the next county under his rule, of collecting people's property, and the total stolen goods amounted to more than 7,000 pieces."

    The penalties for corruption and bribery in the Tang Dynasty were very severe. In the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it was clearly stated that officials who accepted more than fifteen pieces of silk would be sentenced to death.

    Emperor Jia'an couldn't help but put down the tea cup when he heard his answer, which was quite accurate.

    Before, he said that Yan had chased away Shen, but now it seems that he was just distracted by two things.

    "In your opinion, how should this matter be decided?"

    Emperor Jia'an took the memorial farther away, stretched out his fingers and flicked the fold. After it made a crisp sound, his eyes fell on the fold, and he asked Yan Zhui with a smile.

    "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, this crime deserves death." Yan Zhui followed the tassel hanging down from his waist, and a white jade fish fell on it, which kept swinging with his movements.

    Emperor Jia'an kept his eyes fixed and made no sound.

    "Zhang Yun is the grandson of Zhang Chaoyin." When Yan Zhui said this, Emperor Jia'an's eyes flashed and he looked sideways at him. Although he did not speak, he encouraged him to continue with his eyes.

    Speaking of Chaoyin, he is also a person with great background.

    He was the eunuch beside Emperor Chen Dao of the former Chen Dynasty.

    Zhang Chaoyin was born in the Zhang family in Hedong, and his ancestors also came from a scholarly family.

    His ancestors once had officials who were governors of Hedong, and they became prominent for a while.

    Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the Zhang family soon declined.

    By the time Zhang Chaoyin arrived, he was already in poverty.

    He lost his father when he was young and was raised by his uncle Hu Shi.

    When he was young, he was handsome and well-known in the Hedong area.  He studied poetry and books diligently, devoted himself to serving the imperial court, and became prominent. When he was eighteen years old, his uncle Hu Shi made the decision to marry his youngest daughter to him.

    The husband and wife were in love after marriage, and the Hu family gave birth to a son the next year. However, the Hu family offended the local magistrate, and the charges were fabricated, and the whole family was exiled to Lingnan.

    The property of the Hu family was confiscated, and Zhang Chao resented it and sued the government. However, the local county magistrate was a distant cousin of Yuan Yue, the governor of Hedong, and Yuan Yue was a confidant of the King of Yue, the eldest son of Emperor Chen Dao at that time.

    Therefore, Zhang Chaoyin naturally had no way to sue him, but instead he was beaten up and thought that his evil talk was causing trouble.

    After suffering such an ordeal, his wife could not bear the change and hanged herself.

    He committed palace punishment himself, entrusted his son to his old friend, and entered the palace alone to serve as his servant.

    During this period, he was favored by heaven and sent to Longxi as a supervisor of the army. In this way, he met Taizu, who was still young at the time, in the army and became close friends.

    When Taizu was in trouble, he had given him rice, grain, money and silk. When he established the country, he was granted the title of King of Hedong, and was granted food to thousands of households.

    The Zhang family was in great glory for a while.

    In his later years, he acted foolishly. He once heard that Mai Yanfu, the magistrate of Jinzhou, had a daughter with a good reputation, so he used his old and disabled body to forcefully marry Mai as his second wife, but Mai Yanfu sued her.

    Taizu remembered the past and promoted Mai Yanfu to be the governor of Jinzhou, and then put the matter to rest.

    But since then, the Zhang family has behaved arrogantly. Zhang Chaoyin's son lived under someone else's roof when he was young. Zhang Chaoyin doted on his son in every possible way, which became a scourge in the Hedong area. After Zhang Chaoyin's death, his son made arrogant comments about government affairs and was exposed. At that time, Taizu ordered him to  Officials from the Hedong area gathered around to watch and beat Zhang Chaoyin's son with a stick, depriving the Zhang family of a different surname from the title of county prince and deposing them as common people.

    ? ?After that, the Zhang family, which was once prominent in Hedong, fell into ruin.

    However, when he mentioned the matter to his old ministers afterwards, Taizu also expressed regret.

    ?I don¡¯t know if Zhang Yun, the grandson of Zhang Chaoyin, worked hard and studied hard for many years after his family changed. He was elected in the second year of Emperor Tianfeng of Jia'an.

    "For the sake of being an old minister, Emperor Jia'an had met Zhang Yun once.

    It is also true that things must turn against each other. Zhang Yun's ancestors and father were both arrogant and arrogant people. However, Zhang Yun himself had a serious and rigid temperament, and he was polite in his speech. He was unwilling to go into camp to flatter others. He was not good at words and was very strict. Finally, Emperor Jia'an signaled to his officials.  , and sealed him to the next county under the rule of Huazhou as the county magistrate.

    After so many years, I don¡¯t know if Zhang Yun is rigid and doesn¡¯t know how to adapt. He has been under the rule of Huazhou for many years and has never moved again.

    When he was young, Yan Zhui once followed Emperor Jia'an and met Zhang Yun.

    Such a person actually learned to embezzle property?

    A look of interest flashed in his eyes, and Emperor Jia'an smiled: "Do you still remember?"

    Yan Zhui nodded.

    "In April of the second year of Tianfeng, you summoned him once. He was very stubborn." In fact, saying he is stubborn is too flattering to Zhang Yun. When he faced Emperor Jia'an, not only was he not fearful, but he was bitter and hateful.  Deep look.

    Emperor Jia'an laughed and looked at the fold again, with great interest:

    "What do you think Sun Hao means by this decision?"

    It¡¯s just a county magistrate. Logically speaking, it shouldn¡¯t be reported to Emperor Jia¡¯an. Generally, according to the procedure, it can be reported to the Ministry of Punishment.

    "But because Zhang Yun has a lot of background, Sun Hao, the Yin of Huazhou Prefecture, made a special trick.

    In fact, there were many small things like this. Most of them were chosen by Du Xuanzhen and sorted into categories. The important ones were sent to the palace in advance for approval by Emperor Jia'an, and the less important ones were dealt with again.

    Usually such small matters do not need to be reviewed by Emperor Jia'an, and the people below can handle them.

    If something goes wrong, the three senior officials will report it.

    Sun Hao just wanted to go through the process. Under normal circumstances, Emperor Jia'an might not be able to see such details, but as luck would have it, he recently wanted to polish Yan Zhui, so he sent memorials from all over the place to the palace.  , let Yan Zhui approve small things first, let him review them, and then decide on big things.

    This envelope is quite interesting!

    "I think there's something fishy about it." Yan Zhui took hold of the brush and pointed out something.

    Emperor Jia'an was noncommittal.

    ?Throw the folded piece on the rosewood table and lean back on the chair:

    "Let's not talk about this for now. If Zhang Yun is really corrupt, in your opinion, how should he deal with it?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
