Du Lin returned home in a daze and locked himself in the house and saw no one. Two days later, Du Cheng went in to see his brother and found that he was too haggard.

Dulin looked like he was completely defeated.

He did not collapse when he was in the imperial prison because he firmly believed that he was right and that he stood on the side of justice. This was a powerful spiritual support, and even if he died, he would be willing to accept it.

But when he was out of prison and heard the people's talk in the grain shop, he realized that the impression that they had come from was ignorant and incompetent, and could only find faults and curse people. It was useless to talk about benevolence and righteousness. It was a hundred times more harmful to slander and slander Your Majesty with his own actions than the evil ones.

He is obviously a gentleman who adheres to Confucianism and Taoism, and he is obviously a warrior who ignores personal safety for the welfare of the people. Why has he become a traitor and evil person mentioned by everyone?

Du Lin didn't understand and couldn't accept it. He learned the ways of sages since he was a child and always demanded himself by the ways of sages. But why did he learn to be a useless person? Is the ways of sages also useless? His faith collapsed.

Dulin locked himself in the room and thought endlessly. He had been in pain for several days. When everyone in the family was worried about his health, Dulin's door suddenly opened.

He stood at the door, as thin as a bamboo pole, holding a large volume of things he regarded as treasures in his arms. It was a seven-volume "The Emperor's Mirror" written in prison with compassion and resentment. Du Lin originally wanted to pass on these to future generations for reference by emperors in later generations.

He held the seven volumes of "The Emperor's Mirror" and ignored the shouts of his family, he walked to the kitchen, threw the bamboo slips and cloth into the fire, watching them burn to ashes.

Du Lin sighed to the sky, "I only know how to read and can't do things. It's useless to the country and the people. It's not as good as the kitchen, so I can still prepare cooking for others. A useless person, Du, actually wanted to teach the emperor. Isn't it too overestimated his ability?"

He took a shower, burned incense and grinded ink, wrote a memorial, and then he wore plain clothes and did not take a car. He carried the memorial and walked straight to the palace.

His strange clothes and trance attracted the attention of passers-by until someone recognized him and shouted, "Look, that's the Censor Dulin, the useless Confucian scholar who took the lead in throwing dirty water on His Majesty."

"This person is the most hateful! He actually slandered His Majesty's reputation!"

The shouting attracted more people, and many people came to watch, and some people were chasing him to see where he went.

"Is this going to enter the palace? Do you still want to persuade Your Majesty?"

"I see that I am going to apologize for this. I know that I am wrong and I can save you!"

Du Cheng chased after him from behind and advised, "Brother, you can correct your mistakes. You are so magnanimous. Since you have let you go, you will naturally forgive you. You want to apologize. I will accompany you. Let's go together. Brother, you should get in the car! If you are pointed at by others, it will be a shame for you..."

Du Lin said: "I slander Your Majesty, and my crimes are not forgiven. Even if Your Majesty forgives you, will you still live in the world? Being scolded by the people is the punishment I deserve, and it is also the right thing to make your Majesty clear, so that thousands of people who believe in me know that Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty's name is defiled by me and will be cleaned up because of me."

He ignored the ridicule of the crowd and continued to move forward step by step until the near Changle Palace that those who are flirting slowly dispersed.

The little emperor Liu Yu was discussing matters with Zheng Shen, Bao Yong, Song Hong, Yang Yanshou and others in the palace at this time.

The emperor wanted Bao Yong to go to pacify Bingzhou, seize Yunzhong, Dingxiang and other counties.

This was his original plan, but it was because he was not at ease with Bao Yong last year and wanted to ask him to go to the capital, so that the monarch and ministers would understand each other and strengthen their determination to cooperate with each other, which has been delayed until now.

Now that half a year has passed, Bao Yong's family has stabilized in Chang'an. I believe he has a sense of belonging to Jianshihan, and has confidence and loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. At this time, he will feel much more at ease to release him.

Bao Yong had a high prestige in Gengshi's army, and everyone believed him more. Such people were used to persuade those who had not yet surrendered, and sometimes they were more useful than tens of thousands of troops.

What's more, he was originally ordered by Emperor Gengshi to pacify Bingzhou, and he had a strong appeal in Bingzhou, so it would be appropriate to send him to acquire Bingzhou.

The emperor sought the opinions of several court officials and issued an order to use Bao Yong as the general of the northern government to govern Bingzhou, and to appoint officials on his own. This is a senior official who acted in one side and had great trust in Bao Yong, and Bao Yong happily accepted the order.

At this time, the eunuch Niu Tou came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Censor Du Lin has come, saying that he wants to apologize to Your Majesty, and is now kneeling outside."

The little emperor said, "Oh, has he figured it out? Let him come in!"

Du Lin came in and kowtowed, lifted the memorial high above his head. Before he could speak, tears flowed out first and choked and said, "Your Majesty, I am really confused. Please give up your crime!"

Liu Yu reached out to take the memorial, looked through it a few times, and said seriously: "Then tell me, where are you confused?"

Du Lin said: "I am a useless person. I only use my shallow view to test my holy heart and wrongly aggrieved Your Majesty, causing Your Majesty's reputation to be damaged. My crimes cannot be forgiven. Please punish me heavily. I will die without any resentment."

The emperor said, "Although you are ignorant, you are also out of public interest and for the sake of the people. The censor has the responsibility to advise, but your way of admonishing is too extreme. I have already repentant after reading your memorial. Let's talk about it yourself first, what punishment should you receive?"

Du Lin said: "There is no greater crime to slander the king for me. I will commit suicide to repay Your Majesty."

At that time, there was still a pre-Qin legacy in the Han Dynasty, and shameless people would commit suicide at any time. Scenes like Du Lin were indeed enough to commit suicide.

Song Hong, the chief censor, said: "It is not appropriate. The country has its own laws and regulations. If you commit any crime, you will receive any punishment. If you commit suicide by drinking a sword, you will place the national laws? Where will your Majesty be placed? If it is spread, people will think that Your Majesty cannot tolerate counselors."

Song Hong wanted to protect him, but Du Lin was stunned. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was throwing dirty water on the emperor, admitting his mistake, committing suicide, or throwing dirty water on His Majesty. What should people do?

At this time, the emperor said, "Dulin, you still haven't figured it out. You claim to realize that you are useless and should do more useful things. But committing yourself is the most useless thing, cutting yourself off the king, cutting yourself off your parents and relatives, not good for the country, and not for the people of the world. You have a lot of poetry and books and pretending to be knowledgeable. What is the purpose of? Is it just to kill yourself?"

The emperor lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "If you can't think of a self-punishment method, I will punish you directly. There is no one to be the governor of Baitu, Shangjun County. You can go there and take office! Don't underestimate the governor of this county. As long as you can make the people of a county live and work in peace and bathe in the kindness of the great man, that is also a very useful thing. Do it well and let me see your ability. Three years later, I will see how you cure Baitu."

Baitu County, Shangjun, is a very remote county. It is located in the Rongdi area, with a vast land and sparse population, mixed with Han and Hu, and poor conditions, and difficult to educate. The emperor gave Baitu County to Du Lin, which was also a test of his intention. According to the emperor's thoughts, all officials in Beijing should go to the local area to exercise and understand the people's conditions before they can formulate policies and measures that suit reality. Just as the court officials were advised, the emperor sent all these people to the local area, some became minor officials in the county, and some went to the county to serve as officials. Baitu County in Du Lin was one of the most remote places to be distributed.
