Just like last year, someone was assassinated in the imperial city. Although the emperor said it was easy to deal with the assassination, he had no intention of holding him accountable.
But those who were on duty at that time were punished to a certain extent afterwards.
Some were fined, some were demoted, and the police officers of Chang'an Magistrate's Office were pushed to the limit. In the end, nothing was found, and some were punished.
…………
Walking along Zhuque Street to Chengtian Gate, Chu Suiliang was not in a hurry to enter the imperial city and ran to the gatekeeper on duty first.
Chengtianmen is the main gate of the imperial city. There is a battalion of Yulin troops stationed all year round, commanded by Chengmenwei. The Menxia Province also has a Chengmenlang here.
If there is an urgent report from somewhere or from the army, the city gatekeeper will send it to the door. In addition, he is also in charge of the cleaning and locking of the city gate. If there is an old area in the city gate, he will also report it to the provincial government.
middle.
If something happened to the Yulin army guarding the city gate, the city gate master also had the power to supervise.
As the provincial official on duty today, Chu Suiliang first visited the concierge. Seeing that everything was normal, he gave a few instructions and then went to several other places to inspect.
After completing a circle, Chu Suiliang's hands and feet were already numb from the cold, so he urged his horse to go to Menxia Province.
Entering the government office where the matter was going on, the entire Menxia Province was very quiet today because most people were on vacation. It would be busier in the afternoon. After all, the officials of Menxia Province were the emperor's personal servants and rarely had any real leisure time throughout the year.
.
Chu Suiliang rubbed his hands and asked someone to boil some tea soup. Then, while drinking the tea soup and warming himself up, as usual, he first checked to see if there was any urgent business that needed to be dealt with.
Chu Suiliang only slightly flipped through the folded book on the table. There were no comments from his disciples on it. Chu Suiliang was a little annoyed. Yesterday, the man on duty yesterday left more than a dozen memorials for him. He was obviously taking the opportunity to be lazy.
Dislike.
Chu Suiliang had to read through each one patiently, and then wrote his suggestions on them. Before he knew it, an hour passed.
After finishing the official business, Chu Suiliang breathed a sigh of relief, drank the remaining tea soup, picked up the annotated memorial, and personally sent it to the Sanqi Changshi.
The person on duty in the province today is Liu Zhengyou, the regular attendant of the Sanqi.
Seeing Chu Suiliang arrive, he smiled and exchanged greetings with him.
Just as Chu Suiliang was about to retire, Liu Zhengyou stopped him and said casually: "Servant Changsun is accompanying me tonight, and all the people under my family should be here in good order.
Dengshan, if you are idle, you are idle, why not take people on a trip to gather them together..."
When Chu Suiliang heard this, he felt that he was going to be unlucky. Well, what did you do yesterday? It's this time today. If you ask me to take people to find them, how can we find them all?
"This is too hasty...it's the minister...well, it was fine the day before yesterday. It was said that it was time to take a break, and the person on duty could be more considerate. Why did it change now? Is there something going on in the palace?
?”
Liu Zhengyou smiled unhurriedly, "It's a bit hasty. The provincial government issued an order this morning that all officials above the eighth rank should arrive at their posts. Those who have not arrived will be recorded as neglecting their duties.
Therefore, in order to prevent my colleagues from making mistakes, I have to go to the trouble of Dengshan. Don’t worry, I will give Dengshan an additional month’s salary, so that Dengshan’s work will not be in vain.”
Is this a matter of salary or salary? Looking at Liu Zhengyou with a smile on his face, Chu Suiliang really wanted to slap him.
This is just looking for trouble. Maybe Changsun Shunde is showing his authority, maybe he really wants to run tonight's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival well to avoid any oversights.
But that's not how things work. You give orders easily and come at the drop of a hat. But now everyone who can come to the province is on duty at night. If you suddenly ask people to come over, how can you get so many people to call people?
Once you leave your yamen and you are not there when something happens, will you, Liu Zhengyou, bear the blame, or will Changsun Shilang be able to say something?
Chu Suiliang thought about it again and again, and felt that he couldn't just listen to Liu Zhengyou's frivolous words and do it. He had to find out clearly, so he asked: "It's not a big deal. Everyone is probably at home. If you hurry up, you won't be looking for it."
Not many people.
But first, since there is an order from the province, please ask the regular servant to hand over the order to the lower official, otherwise the lower official will not dare to leave his post lightly..."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Liu Zhengyou's face turned ugly.
But Chu Suiliang didn't care about him. He was really an assistant to the official Sanqi Changshi, and the Sanqi Changshi was an upright official. Once he was offended, he would be very uncomfortable in the future.
But Chu Suiliang had to compare this to the truth. Who knows what kind of motive there is in it? Maybe it was aimed at him, Chu Suiliang.
For example, as soon as he left the house, Changsun's servant immediately came to inspect the government office. Chu Suiliang was not there. As long as Liu Zhengyou denied it, Chu Suiliang would not be able to explain it when he was punished.
If Feng Deyi was still here, he wouldn't think so much, but now he has to be more careful. Even if he offends Liu Zhengyou, he has to take it out first.
"Second, Chang Shi needs to find more people for the subordinates. Otherwise, even if he breaks his legs, he won't be able to convey the provincial orders to his colleagues."
Liu Zhengyou looked at Chu Suiliang with burning eyes, thinking that he used to think he was an honest man, but he turned out to be so cunning.
After straightening his face, Liu Zhengyou said: "Look at what you said... It's just a trivial matter, but it is so difficult to resist. The eldest grandson has an order, but it has to be written down?
Huh, let me ask you, should you go or not?"
None of what he said was on point. He was just using his official position to pressure people, so Chu Suiliang didn't even dare to go. When he left home in the morning, he never expected that such an event would be waiting for him.
At this time, he gritted his teeth and finally made Liu Zhengyou bear a grudge. You, a white-faced thief, escaped from Luoyang, but you gained official authority on the ground in Guanxi...
Chu Sui's conscience was fierce, but his face showed no emotion. He bowed and said resolutely without hesitation: "Even without proof, I dare not leave my post without permission. I will not obey my order.
I also ask the regular attendants to be considerate and ask the eldest grandson to issue an order and entrust it to the lower officials, so that the lower officials can handle it."
Liu Zhengyou was furious and slapped the table, "Chu Denshan, now all matters under the sect are decided by Changsun Shilang. I am your superior officer, but I can't even give you orders?"
What else is there in your eyes..."
Now that he has lost his reputation, people like Chu Suiliang are beyond the control of a gentle civil servant like him. Not only is he good at writing and writing, he has also served in the army.
Chu Suiliang stood up straight, his eyes serious, "I don't need Liu Changshi to tell me what's in my eyes.
Logically speaking, Changshi Liu should not have made such an unknown fuss. He was just acting according to the rules. I know who the eldest grandson Shilang is, better than Changshi.
Even if the minister is here, he can't say that what I did is wrong. If there is someone who can resolve all matters under the sect with one word, then who do you think it would be?
It’s okay to say this, but I still have to remind Chang Shi to be careful in his words and deeds, otherwise Dr. Sun won’t agree, right?”
After that, he brushed his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the door, obviously not wanting to have anything to do with Liu Zhengyou.
This kind of argument in person with gongs and drums is meaningless. If it breaks out, Liu Zhengyou will definitely be disgraced, and he, Chu Suiliang, will not be able to get away with it if he contradicts Shangguan.
After that, everyone will definitely have to look for compensation, and it depends on who can have the upper hand. Even if Changsun Shunde wants to punish Chu Suiliang, it will not be an easy task. After all, he is a disciple of Yuan Shiming in Yuen Long.
Moreover, Gongsun An, Su Xu, Yu Chang and others also had close friendship with him. If they moved around, Liu Zhengyou might not be able to touch him or Chu.
It's just that Chu Suiliang still has a lot of lawsuits on his head. If he gets into trouble with his immediate superior, how can he gain a foothold in his sect? Is this an innocent disaster, or is someone deliberately trying to punish him?
Damn it, even if you can't take the blame for this, you still have to knock Liu Zhengyou to the ground, otherwise how can you bear this bad breath?
Liu Zhengyou was furious with him. He had some backbone, but not much.
Back then, Wang Shichong wanted him to write something, but he refused and immediately fled Luoyang. Last year, he was scolded by Li Po in the Tai Chi Hall. In just a few words, this man was so lost that he almost made a fool of himself on the spot.
Therefore, Liu Zhengyou was not respected by people in the province, but he was from a noble family in Henan and now relied on his eldest grandson, Shunde, so his position was very stable.
Seeing that he couldn't even control his subordinates, he was so angry that he almost set the office on fire, "Chu Suiliang, if you leave this door today, I will definitely make you lose your official position..."
As Chu Suiliang walked out, he turned back and sneered, "What's the deal again? Liu Changshi is very capable."
Liu Zhengyou's cerebral blood vessels were about to burst, "It's just a word. You think you are relying on Yuan Shiming and you are so arrogant. What happened to the emperor's relatives? I can also punish you."
Chu Suiliang had already walked to the door. He felt that Liu Zhengyou was crazy for talking without restraint. If he opened the door and let people listen, there might be unexpected benefits.
That is to say, there are not many manpower in the province today. Otherwise, as soon as he said his words, someone would hear half a sentence, and he would not have to be a regular servant.
Thinking of this, Chu Suiliang gritted his teeth secretly. He must have had bad intentions when he sent someone away to talk to me.
Just as he was about to retort, he opened the door. Unexpectedly, the door was already pushed open by someone outside. A person walked in, followed by many people who followed him.
Chu Suiliang only took a brief look, and his legs immediately became weak. When he stepped aside, he bowed deeply and said, "I see your Majesty."
The visitor was none other than Li Po. He had a bright smile on his face and waved his hand casually, "No courtesy, it's a cold day, but it's very hot here.
I seem to have heard someone say something about the emperor's relatives and the country's relatives. What happened to the emperor's relatives and the country's relatives? Who can decide the affairs of the sect with just one word? Is it you or this Liu Changshi? "
Liu Zhengyou over there was completely out of his mind. His previously strong anger seemed to have been extinguished by a basin of cold water, without even a spark left.
His whole body was as cold as a mourning concubine, and he stood there motionless, dumbfounded.
