What Xue Jing held in her hand was Jin Manqing's identity document, a homecoming certificate issued by the Qin Palace and stamped by Cui Dunli, and the identity steel plate of the second-class foreman of Yaozhou.
A second-class foreman is at least a seventh-level official. What a talented person he is.
Liu Zhenghui nodded slightly, thinking how wronged this girl must have been. He stretched out his hand to help, but there were differences between men and women. He motioned to Yuan Chun for help.
Yuanchun and Xuejing helped Jin Manqing up.
"It is not allowed to kneel in the Tang Dynasty. Only during the grand ceremony, one kneels to the heaven and the earth, the other kneels to the emperor, the third kneels to the parents, the fourth kneels to the mentor, and the fifth kneels to the clan members. At other times, you don't kneel unless it is a great favor, or you don't kneel unless it is a great gift.
I receive the title of Minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. I heard that you are determined to become a member of the Royal Academy, and I am your teacher. I feel ashamed to receive this gift from you!"
Liu Zhenghui is old-fashioned but sticks to the rules.
After she finished speaking, Jin Manqing wished she could kneel down to this kind old man again and give him a heavy salute.
"You should rest for a while first, and Rong will ask questions!"
The title of Minister of Rites is a very new term, but the laymen with the official title of Minister of Rites understand it. This is a high-ranking official of the third rank. He will handle this matter personally, and the laymen dare not show any slightest care.
At that moment, several idle men present told what happened one by one.
Then the idle men called witnesses who had seen what happened in Dongshi at the time, as well as several shopkeepers who knew Baekje to testify.
After the owner of a jewelry store signed and stamped his name, he couldn't help but say: "This baby is pitiful. I have read her documents and she is from Chang'an. Even in the late Sui Dynasty, the Turks did not dare to humiliate the people of Chang'an in the street.
Stores and people in Dongcheng are joining together to ask for justice!"
"The Tang Dynasty will have its own justice, and the Tang Dynasty will have the people of the Tang Dynasty making the decision!" Lu Maofeng's murderous tone did not frighten the common people who testified, but gave them a sense of relief.
But yes, a third-grade official dealt with the matter overnight, so the imperial court will definitely not ignore it.
"Ms. Yuanchun, I have to trouble you these days." Liu Zhenghui bowed.
"It is my duty as a lower official. I would like to request that the person be brought to live in the residence of General Tiance." Yuanchun said after returning the gift.
"It's feasible. After a certain verification, we will ask questions again! Farewell!" Liu Zhenghui handed over his hands and left the room, secretly winking at Lu Maofeng, and Lu Maofeng followed him out.
Outside, Liu Zhenghui said to Lu Maofeng: "To report back to His Highness the King of Qin, this matter is indeed an insult to our people of the Tang Dynasty. But the other party said that if you don't know, it is not a crime. This case is divided into two, knowing and not knowing, that is the difference.
But no matter what, punishment and apology are all ironclad, but the intensity of the punishment is different!"
"I will leave the city immediately to repay His Highness!" After Lu Maofeng saluted, Liu Zhenghui and Yao Silian left together.
Lu Maofeng entered the room again and said to Yuan Chun: "I will send you to Admiral Tiance's Mansion. There is a curfew at this time. There are no road signs. Wu Hou will only treat you and others as traitors. After that, I will return to Zhuangzi to repay His Highness!"
While packing inside the house, Yuanchun came outside with a bag of coins.
"We can't accept it. After such a serious thing happened, we should come to apologize. In Dongshi, if a guest is beaten, we are negligent in our duties. If we accept this reward, I will be ashamed to establish myself in Dongshi in the future." He replied leisurely.
The leader of the Han Dynasty was the one who initially collected money at the west entrance of the East Market. No matter how much money was in the money bag, he would not accept it.
Lu Maofeng also said beside him: "Seven-foot-tall men stand tall and earn money clearly. Yuanchun, you can go and have a drink with them someday when I have time."
After speaking to Yuan Chun, Lu Maofeng clasped his fists: "Thank you for not letting Manager Jin get beaten up twice!"
"It's my duty, I dare not say it's hard work. I'm ashamed of what happened today. From today on, this distinguished guest will be in Dongshi one year from now. I won't accept a penny from you. Please!" The leader of the Xianhan said in a very arrogant manner.
Lu Maofeng cupped his fists and saluted.
Admiral Tiance's Mansion.
Wei Zheng, who was working overtime all night to deal with the mountain of official duties, was shocked when he heard the news.
"That little envoy from Baekje, huh!" Wei Zheng snorted coldly and immersed himself in handling official duties. When he was writing the official document, Wei Zheng said: "Send me a cup of ginseng tea to calm down the shock. This matter cannot be discussed casually. Everything has its own rules.
Your Highness is in charge!"
When Jin Manqing saw Ginseng Tea, she came back to her senses. Because of him, she had alerted three third-rank officials, and even the high-ranking King Qin knew about it.
Who is Yuanchun?
This is the female official close to His Highness the King of Qin. Her appearance represents an attitude, the attitude of the Prince of Qin's palace.
Yuanchun also came to his senses.
This is not a matter of Jin Manqing alone. Perhaps Jin Manqing is the most critical figure, but she is also a pawn in the game between the Tang Dynasty and foreign countries. However, for Jin Manqing, being able to be this pawn is her blessing.
On the other side, Liu Zhenghui was also a little undecided. After discussing with Yao Silian, he decided to call people from their group to discuss it together tomorrow. But there were a few people they had to greet in advance.
For example, Wang Jishan, the Minister of Rites, took Honglu Temple with him regarding matters related to the Ministry of Rites.
Then there is Qin Qiong, the leading general of the Security Department of the Tang Empire.
In fact, Qin Qiong had known about it for a long time. When Liu Zhenghui asked questions, Qin Qiong had already understood the detailed situation. He also knew that the Prince of Qin's Palace came to Chang'an in Yuanchun and Liu Zhenghui came forward to handle the matter, so he did not send another letter to the Prince of Qin's Palace.
When they arrived at the palace, it was a small matter that Qin Qiong didn't recognize him.
But who would have thought that Li Er laughed heartily after hearing the report.
"I don't understand why Your Majesty is laughing?"
"Shu Bao, Shu Bao! Wu Lang was looking for a knife to kill someone, and the big, big, big Baekje envoy actually handed the handle of the knife to Wu Lang's hand. He was looking for death!" Li Er laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
.
"But Wulang said that he doesn't want to fight in the next few years, and it will be in a year at the earliest!" Qin Qiong is not a wise general.
If Li Jing were here, he would never ask this kind of question.
Li Er smiled even more happily: "One year, when Wulang was going to fight, he always showed that he had made sufficient preparations in advance. What is needed most now is actually not the money and food from the treasury, but the support of Tianying Pavilion. Shu Bao watched carefully.
Things will inevitably have an ending that you and I didn’t expect, and I’m very happy, very happy!”
Qin Qiong nodded: "Go and notify the pharmacist!"
"It's feasible." Li Er supported Qin Qiong's statement.
Let Li Jing prepare earlier. Even if Li Yuanxing doesn't fight, he will give someone a hard blow. Li Er is really looking forward to it.
The only one who didn't feel anything at all was the Baekje envoy. Not only him, but the entire Baekje envoy didn't feel anything was abnormal.
He just beat up a cheap maid.
And the other one seems to be just a lowly female, not worth mentioning.
Early next morning.
The news that Jin Manqing, a second-class foreman in Yaozhou and a female doctor who had just obtained the status of the Tang Dynasty, was insulted by Baekje envoys and beaten, spread like the wind throughout the aristocracy of the Tang Dynasty.
The nobles seem to be very concerned about this topic.
There are three reasons.
The first reason is that Jin Manqing is a talent who is favored by the Tang Dynasty. He has submitted to the Tang Dynasty and has the identity of the Tang Dynasty. He is also a talent favored by Sun Shenxian and is a student recognized by the Medical School of the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty.
.
The second reason is that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty needed to establish their authority.
To establish prestige, you need an excuse, and to establish prestige, you need someone who is truly capable of standing out.
Now that we have an excuse, the person who takes the lead is naturally the Prince of Qin. This is in the interest of most of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
The third reason is even more important, which is Datang’s face problem.
The nobles know it, but it does not mean that everyone in Chang'an knows it. It is just a topic circulated among the high-level noble circles, and it is only circulated among the top dignitaries, major aristocratic families, and emerging nobles.
"Congratulations, Mr. Liu, on your recovery!"
Before going to court, Cui Junsu took the initiative to greet Liu Zhenghui. He extended his hand to avoid smiling, and Liu Zhenghui nodded in response. Unexpectedly, Cui Junsu continued: "It's boring to be a Baekje. If you want to pull one more, I, Cui of Qinghe,
I am willing to help Mr. Liu behind the scenes!"
Hearing this, Liu Zhenghui couldn't ignore it completely. He said softly: "The Holy Father has no instructions on this matter. His Highness, King Qin, has not made any statement. But Cui Gong does not know. There is also guilt in knowing and guilt in ignorance."
The difference is that the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and everything has its own mode!"
"As long as you let the talkative person say a few words that he shouldn't say before the trial, it will be clear."
"This matter can be discussed later!" Liu Zhenghui didn't know what Cui Junsu meant, so he had to push the topic back.
Cui Junsu bowed his hands and stood in his courtroom with a smile.
Outside the court hall, shortly after the gate of Chang'an opened, a carriage with a royal emblem stopped at the door of General Tiance's residence.
"A certain Ashinadur accompanied the eldest princess of Hengyang to visit the Yaozhou gold plumber!"
Foreman is already a kind of job in Chang'an. The name of the place in charge, such as Yaozhou, represents an official position and a status.
Ashinadur was originally a subordinate of General Tiance's mansion. He had received the order to organize his troops and was ready to go at any time.
Naturally, he would not hide the news from General Tiance's house. After hearing the news, he picked up Princess Hengyang and came to General Tiance's house at dawn. The two of them had completed the six rites and four rites, and they were just missing the last one.
Getting married in one step is only an auspicious day for the Tang Dynasty, not necessarily for the Turks.
Therefore, it is really not easy to choose an auspicious day for both races, so the wedding date has been delayed for some time.
When the porter heard that the eldest princess was visiting, he immediately opened the door and welcomed them in.
Jin Manqing is a foreman in Yaozhou and has the habit of getting up early. Yuanchun has to serve Li Yuanxing, so she usually gets up earlier. Xue Jing is the female priest of Shennong Hall, and she starts cleaning her own Xueqing Pavilion before dawn every day.
When Ashnadur entered the inner courtyard, the three women had already eaten breakfast.
The first time Princess Hengyang saw Jin Manqing, she exclaimed softly: "It was beaten so hard, and there are still bruises on her face!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster.
