Just as Yu Nu Zhiji was about to enter the gate of Liren City, several warriors blocked his way.
The person in charge was Qin Qiong. He held a whistle stick with his eyebrows in his hands and looked at Yuwen Zhiji coldly. Several of his brothers, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin and others were followed by him.
"Who is it that dares to stop the uncle from going?" Yuwen Zhi and the horse whip pointed at Qin Qiong and cursed.
Today he brought more than a hundred servants, full of courage. He would never be sympathetic if anyone dared to provoke him. A servant next to him recognized Qin Qiong and whispered to him: "Young Master, this person was that night,
The master wanted to recognize him as a fake, but the person he rejected.
Yuwen Zhiji said a long ‘Oh’, his eyes full of sarcasm, "Qin Qiong, do you regret it now?"
"It turns out that my failure was caused by your Yuwen family?" Qin Qiong stared at him with anger.
"That's right, yes, you were the first place in the exam, but my father didn't like it, so he ordered the Ministry of War to cross out your name. How about you regret it?" Yuwen Zhiji laughed proudly.
"Today I want to seek justice, I want to smash your dog's head, and then go to the world to promote it, so that everyone in the world knows the corrupt Yuwen family!"
Yuwen Zhiji was furious and waved his hand, "Boe me and kill these dog thieves!"
More than a hundred servants rushed forward and swung their iron rods and long swords to kill them. Shan Xiongxin and others could no longer wait. They roared, shook their arms, danced their whistle and beat several people on their heads.
At the same time they started, hundreds of martial arts candidates rushed out of the alleys around the square, holding various sticks and hoes. They were very cautious. No one took the weapon. This was a degree.
Gathering weapons is a rebellion, beating people with sticks is a troublemaker, they are surrounded from all directions, and the unfairness of martial arts practices makes each of them full of anger and hatred. They are tall and skilled in martial arts, which makes all the servants cry.
Call me mom, it seems like a headless fly fleeing in all directions.
Yuwen Zhiji was afraid that he would turn his horse and run away. At this moment, Qin Qiong jumped high and hit him with a blow. Yuwen Zhiji could not dodge and was hit on the forehead with a blow. He screamed,
More than a dozen big men turned over and fell off the horse rushed forward and pressed him to the ground and punched him.
Seeing that Yu Wen Zhiji had been beaten to death, Qin Qiong stopped everyone with a wave of hand and shouted to everyone: "We are not fair in martial arts, let's go to the Ministry of War to make an explanation!"
Everyone responded in unison, threw down the sticks, and hundreds of people headed towards the Suzaku Gate.
Let us push the time forward for another hour. Before dawn, the night sky is still full of stars, and stars are like bright gems on the velvet dark blue sky.
The low and huge bells came back in the sound of the bells over the capital. In the sound of horse-drawn carriages and ox carriages, countless horse-riding officials gathered towards Zhuxi Street from all directions, and the orange lanterns hanging on the shafts intersected with the starry sky like floating lights.
Reflecting brightly.
This is a unique scene in the capital. Every day before dawn, accompanied by the low bells, thousands of court officials will leave their homes to attend court. The court will usually be held very early. Before dawn, the court meeting will be held at the hour of Mao.
This ensures that after the meeting ends, ministers can perform normal official duties and will not delay handling government affairs because of the meeting.
Going to court every day is a painful torment for officials in the capital, and local officials will be much better. Yang Yuanqing is a local official in Beijing. Although his rank is already qualified to attend court, he generally does not need to attend court.
One day he wanted to attend court like a Beijing official, so he had to apply to the palace in advance. After obtaining approval, he would attend the court meeting as the Viscount of Feihu County.
Before dawn, Yang Yuanqing also appeared in the Chengtianmen Plaza where thousands of court officials had gathered. It was early winter and the north wind was strong. The Chengtianmen Plaza was cold and there were big lanterns hanging around.
Swinging in the middle, the square shone like daytime. At this time, the time for court has not yet come. Most officials are afraid of the cold and hide in Chengtian Gate Tower. There are not many officials waiting for court in the square, two or three
, whispering some interesting stories that happened in the court recently.
The so-called "It's so cool and autumn" At this time, in a place where officials gather, no one will talk about the right and wrong of the court at will. If there is only one ear next to it and the political enemy hears it, it will become an excuse for impeachment to be a rude criminal.
, talking about the government, that is just something to do in the study and dining table.
Yang Yuanqing was wearing the fourth-grade voyeur court uniform that he had just received, wearing a gauze hat, and stood in a corner of the square, waiting boredly for the start of the court. He almost didn't know the officials around him, and there was nothing to talk about.
Funding.
He was still thinking about what was going to happen today. The final review of the martial arts was issued. Yesterday morning when he went to the palace supervisor to apply for qualification for court, he got the agenda of today's court agenda. The second item was to review the list of martial arts. Today,
He needed to express his opinion in front of the court officials, and he felt a little nervous.
"Yuan Qing!"
Someone called him next to him. Yang Yuanqing turned around and saw that it was King Yong Yang Zhao. He smiled and walked towards him with a staggering pace. He seemed to have lost weight. He used to need help from walking, but today he could walk by himself.
It was a gratifying progress, and the ministers next to him nodded and saluted.
Yang Yuanqing hurriedly bowed to him, "Your Highness!"
Yang Zhao pulled him and smiled, "How could he go to court today?"
"I just listened to the court meeting and felt the atmosphere of the court meeting before leaving."
"Oh! Then when will you leave Beijing?"
"It is initially decided to go to Yingzhou the day after tomorrow, and then go directly to Dali City."
Yang Zhao nodded and sighed, "I don't know where to see you again as soon as you leave."
"It shouldn't be too long, at most one or two years, I will return to Beijing."
Yang Zhao glanced at the left and right, then pulled Yang Yuanqing, walked to a secluded place next to him, and asked him in a low voice: "Is there any news about the assassin?"
Yang Yuanqing looked around. Although they were standing in a secluded place, the ministers next to him still looked here secretly. They could see the jealousy in their eyes. Yang Zhao had been named King Yong and was about to take over.
The Eastern Palace, being able to have such a close relationship with King Yong will really make many people feel uncomfortable.
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the assassin disappeared without a trace, without a clue."
Yang Zhao also sighed, "It's true. It's really harder to find an assassin with just two arrows than climbing the sky. Forget this matter, I will be careful in the future and will not give anyone a chance."
Yang Zhao patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "What are the difficulties in Dali City? You can write a letter to me. I will urge all departments to transport supplies to you in time, and your family's affairs. Don't become a burden. Work well in the border areas.
, the early ri was promoted, and those snobs regretted it."
Yang Zhao's sincerity moved Yang Yuanqing. He nodded silently, "Your Highness should take care of yourself, and I hope that next time I come back, I can accompany you to hunt."
"I'm controlling my mouth and abdomen now and conditioning my body. You see, I've lost a lot of weight and have grown stronger. There's no problem with walking 300 steps by myself."
As the two were talking, a person suddenly appeared beside him, giving Yang Zhaoshen a bow, "I'm going to see Your Highness!"
When the two turned around, they turned out to be General Yuwen Shu. He had a smile on his face. In the face of difficulties, only King Yong Yang Zhao was the only one who looked at Yang Yuanqing next to him.
"It turns out it's General Yuwen. Judging from the general's appearance, it seems that he has become rich again recently." Yang Zhao smiled jokingly.
Yuwen Shu smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness is joking. The old minister only relies on a little salary to live in. The family is close, so how can we get rich? Alas! The officials in Beijing are poor, and they are not as good as local officials. Those local officials are the source of wealth.
Rolling."
"General Yuwen Rizi lived a tight life, but the son was very comfortable. Two days ago, in the restaurant in Liren City, I saw a group of people trying hard to stuff money to the son, and said that the martial arts and the gold and silver were taken care of.
My eyes were shining, and I smiled lightly next to me.
Yuwen Shu's face changed and she said sternly: "Who are you and what does it mean to say this?"
Although he had met Yang Yuanqing in Yang Guang's imperial study, he had forgotten that Yang Yuanqing revealed the bribery of his son Wu Ju in front of Yong Wang Zhou, and his face could no longer be shaken.
Yang Zhao was also secretly shocked. He did not expect that Yang Yuanqing would speak so sharply. This kind of exposing the ugliness in person was a taboo in the relationship between court officials! He would offend Yuwen Shu, so he quickly gave Yang Yuanqing his eyes and told him not to say anything more.
Yang Yuanqing seemed not to see Yang Zhao's eyes, and he still said lightly: "Did General Yuwen forget me? More than two months ago, General Yuwen did not send his family general to tell the King of Han that I would go to Youzhou to capture Dou Kang,
Let Yang Liang intercept me halfway. With such a deep friendship, General Yuwen doesn’t even know me?"
Yuwen Shu was so scared that she took a step back and stared at Yang Yuanqing, "You are... Yang Yuanqing?"
"We have seen it, have we? Maybe it's because the general is forgetting too much, but it doesn't matter. I think the general will remember me firmly from now on, just as I have never forgotten the general."
Yang Yuanqing's tone was threatened by Chiluo, which made Yuwen Shu's face change several times. He didn't know what Yang Yuanqing wanted to do, but in front of Yang Zhao, he did not dare to show weakness. He squinted his eyes and snorted, "General Yang."
You are just a small town general. You slander me without evidence, but you are abusing me! I will write to you, and you will not be able to take advantage of it. Young man, you are still too neglected."
He bowed to Yang Zhao, "Your Highness, this person slandered me. I will seek justice from the Lord. Please do not believe his nonsense. I will say goodbye first."
He glared at Yang Yuanqing fiercely and turned around and left.
Yang Zhao shook his head and said to Yang Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, he is an important official in the army, you shouldn't offend him like this."
Yang Yuanqing looked at Yuwen Shu's back and said coldly: "Your Highness, this person is corrupt, abused the law and accepted bribes publicly to destroy the military exercises. This seriously damages the reputation of the emperor in the hearts of the martial artists in the world. Killing him is not enough to atone for his sins. If I fear him, then
Who else in the world dares to tell the truth in front of the saint? I am not even afraid of King Qi, and will I be afraid of him?"
Yang Zhao thought to himself, "Yuan Qingxiong is open-minded and honest" is not afraid of the powerful and has extraordinary courage. He is a powerful general. It would be great if he has such a right-hand man in the future...
He nodded, "I can understand your mood, but some things must be told about evidence. If there is no evidence, you must not speak immediately, so as not to be bitten by him and you will be falsely accused."
"Your Highness, I understand!"
At this time, the bell of Daxing Hall rang and returned to the Chengtianmen Square. This was the bell of entering the hall. On the Chengtianmen Square, thousands of ministers quickly lined up according to their grades and temples.
Walking along the high white jade steps towards the main hall, the stairs were filled with samurai in front of the hall holding various weapons. They were all tall, bright and handsome, and the court meeting after another, at the shi
