The three old men left the palace together, with Ling Han striding in front, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.
The Marquis of Wuding, Guo Ying, and the Marquis of Jingchuan, Cao Zhen, were behind them. These two veteran military marquises were getting older, and the old injuries from their youth were showing up. They walked a little faster, and their legs and feet were no longer in control.
Seeing Ling Han, who was more than ten years older than them, walking around day after day, he felt angry.
"Didn't you quit?" Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, curled his lips and said, "Didn't you resign and return home? Didn't you take off your hat? Why did you put it on again? The spitting of the masters is like nails, so is your mouth?"
Ling Han stopped slightly, turned back disdainfully, and uttered two words, "A common man!"
"Who are you calling an idiot?" Cao Zhen was furious.
"If you're not a common man, what are you?" Ling Han squinted and said, "Woman?"
"I" Cao Zhen was immediately stopped by Ling Han's words, unable to refute a single word.
"Okay!" Guo Ying said to Cao Zhen, "If you talk nonsense with these scholars, isn't that the case of young children who are willing to be inferior to their elder sisters when they meet them?"
Cao Zhen looked at Ling Han bitterly, "Fourth brother, that is now. If I am ten years younger, no, five years younger, do you think I can kick him?"
"Kick me and your head will fall off!" Ling Han stopped and sneered.
Cao Zhen was immediately furious, "Ling Tietou, don't you fucking hit me?" He said, rolling up his sleeves, "I don't believe it, if I kick you, the emperor can take my head?"
"If you kick me, I will die. When you are a military prince of the dynasty, deliberately killing the second-rank ministers, bachelors, inspectors, princes, young masters, Zuo Zhuguo, and Guanglu doctors of the dynasty, do you think it is a capital crime?"
"You" Cao Zhen was so angry that he was so angry, "You're so stupid, you're so stupid!"
"Who are you scolding?" Ling Han asked sideways.
Cao Zhen yelled, "I'm scolding you like crazy!"
"Yes, you are scolding me like crazy!" Ling Han flicked his sleeves and walked forward day by day. (Day, twice)
"Grandma!" Cao Zhen jumped three feet.
Ling Han stopped and looked directly at Cao Zhen, "Can you tell me one more time?"
"day"
"Okay!" Guo Ying pulled Cao Zhen dumbfounded, "You two, one is over eighty and the other is over sixty, can you please stop being vindictive with children?"
As he spoke, he quickened his pace slightly to catch up with Ling Han, "Old Ling, we have known each other for a long time, right?"
Ling Han's expression softened a little, "Well, at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, I was in the first row of civil servants, and the Marquis was in the second row of distinguished officials!"
"Thank you for remembering it clearly!" Guo Ying smiled, then gritted his teeth, "But why do you sound so unworthy of a beating?"
"I didn't say anything, the Marquis thought too much!" Ling Han said.
"Let's not talk about these useless things. Although you, Ling Tietou, are sometimes disgusted and don't want to be treated by people like us, I, Old Guo Si, have always felt that you are a good person over the years." Guo Ying continued, "You are a wise man.
A good official with conscience and character!"
Ling Han was quite surprised by this evaluation, and he cupped his hand and said, "Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor is the only thing that can be done by reading the books of saints and sages, and the whole world will be public!"
"Stop, stop, stop! I get a headache when I hear you scholars drop their book bags!" Guo Ying said quickly, "Although you are a good person, you are not right today!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"You screamed outside the palace that the Ming Dynasty was going to fall, didn't you?" Guo Ying said seriously.
"You heard it all and you asked me if that's right? Yes, it was me who shouted." Ling Han said, "Why? The emperor didn't punish me? Marquis Guo wants to punish me?"
"Whoever dares to treat you will die if he touches you!" Guo Ying said rudely and continued, "I think you are a bit too old today!" After saying that, he paused and said, "It's just that the emperor has a good temper.
I don’t care about you. Otherwise, you would have gone directly to the Zhenfu Department at this moment!”
"That's right!" Cao Zhen also interrupted, "When the old prince is sitting in the Jinluan Palace, do you dare to shout like that? I'll pinch the egg yolks for you and feed them to the flies!"
"I am a critic!" Ling Han said solemnly, "Every word and deed of the emperor is related to the destiny of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, I have to speak out and accept criticism!" He said with a disdainful smile, "The emperor's fault for not punishing me is not his temper.
Okay. But the emperor knows that good advice may hurt your ears but help your deeds!"
"If you punish me just because I shouted a few words, how can the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty retain their integrity? In the court, there are only a bunch of kowtow bugs left!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Zhen sideways and said, "Back then, the Supreme Emperor ordered to spend huge sums of money to build a palace in Fengyang. Although I didn't say that the Ming Dynasty was going to fall, I still braved the heavy rain to kneel down at the Ancestral Temple and cry out to the Zhu family who worshiped it.
Our ancestors said that the Supreme Emperor has forgotten his roots and is arrogant and extravagant. What did the Supreme Emperor say?"
"Yes, yes!" Cao Zhen sneered, "You have a fucking point!"
"It's not that I have a reason, but that I have to fight for it!" Ling Han suddenly sighed, "However, I can't fight for many years. The world is peaceful, everyone sings the praises of virtue, and if there are remonstrances, I am afraid that I will not be tolerated by my colleagues first!
"
"Without you Zhang Butcher, you still eat pigs with hair on them?" Cao Zhen said disdainfully.
"I mean well!" Guo Ying said to Ling Han, "Just now you made the emperor so angry that he gritted his teeth. It's good for you to accept remonstrance, but you can't do this kind of thing again. Otherwise, you really pissed off the emperor. What the fuck?
Doctor Guanglu, Prince's Young Master? You are the Jade Emperor's second uncle, and you are still sent to prison!"
As he spoke, he sighed slightly, "There are fewer and fewer of us old people who have lived since the founding of the People's Republic of China. I just hope that we can all have a good ending in the future!"
"What does the Marquis mean by these words?" Ling Han said, "The Emperor is the most kind to his veterans!"
"How come you have been an official for so many years without suffering any losses?" Guo Ying suddenly laughed.
Ling Han thought about it, "I stand up straight!"
As he spoke, he pondered for a moment, "Two princes, your honor is also involved in this scientific examination. I would like to ask privately, the emperor has people re-mark the papers. If the results are still unsatisfactory, what are you going to do?"
"Don't care about others, as long as someone from Fengyang is on the list!" Cao Zhen snorted, "It must be from Fengyang, his grandmother's. If you continue to play tricks with me, you will burn down the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy!"
Ling Han knew the angry words he said and looked at Guo Ying.
Guo Ying thought about it, looked at Ling Han, raised her finger to the sky, and said with a smile, "Then the higher ups will take action."
Ling Han smiled slightly, saying nothing.
Cao Zhen looked at the sky in confusion, "Up there? What's up there?"
Hearing this, Guo Ying immediately shook his head in anger, and slapped Cao Zhen on the neck, "Cao Zhen, if you have any second-mindedness in your life, you will not be over sixty, and you are still a marquis!"
When he was scolded in front of outsiders, Cao Zhen immediately lost his composure and muttered, "Fourth brother, you are very thoughtful, aren't you also a marquis?"
"I'll fucking kick you to death!" Guo Ying was furious, and Cao Zhen stepped aside to apologize.
Afterwards, the three old men left the palace gate and Ling Han got on the sedan chair.
Looking at the two military princes who got on their horses, he asked, "Where are the two military princes going?"
Before Guo Ying could speak, Cao Zhen spoke first, "Go and have a drink at the Duke of Song's mansion!"
Ling Han suddenly realized something and said, "I'll go too!"
"You, a poor scholar, can't interfere with us."
Before Cao Zhen finished speaking, he was pulled by Guo Ying and smiled at Ling Han and said, "That's just right. We are a bunch of rough guys. We have no integrity in speaking and doing things. We need you, a sensible person, to advise us on some things!"
~~~
To be honest, I am stuck, please give me a chance to think about it for a day.
I have never had such a serious problem with my writing. I feel so dizzy that I just can’t write.
I miss the days when Wen Si was in diuresis.
