The sun was three poles high, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and the entire capital city was illuminated by the bright and dazzling sunlight, washing away all the darkness.
More than half an hour had passed since Zhu Pingan was escorted to Shuntianfu Yamen by Gao Botai and others. After more than half an hour of back-and-forth verbal exchanges, both sides sounded gongs and retreated to their camps.
On the main road in front of Shuntianfu Yamen, Zhu Ping'an and Gao Botai stood opposite each other with their own thoughts, seemingly in harmony.
"Oh, today is all a misunderstanding. It's all my fault that Xiaguan's subordinates were not careful in their work and misled Xiaguan. Mr. Zhu was wronged. Xianguan is really guilty. When I return to the Yamen, I will punish these unreliable people severely.
He is a bastard. There is also the traitorous son of Xiaguan. When he returns, Xianguan will definitely give him a good lesson. Of course, if his subordinates are lax and teach their children poorly, they will not be able to escape the blame. Mr. Zhu, please give him some advice.
I'll give you a chance. Someday, I'll serve you wine to apologize to you, and ask for your respect."
Before leaving, Gao Botai said this with his hands in hand. His attitude seemed to be very sincere, but his words still shirk responsibility.
"There's no need for wine."
Zhu Pingan twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hands, turned and left, seemingly unwilling to do so, but also helpless.
Watching Zhu Pingan turn around and leave, Gao Botai took a deep breath, recalling Zhu Pingan's unwilling but helpless expression, a smug smile gradually appeared on Gao Botai's sincere face.
Gao Botai knew that in the quarrel just now, he was actually at a disadvantage and in a very dangerous situation. However, fortunately, he deliberately exposed it many times and emphasized his relationship with Yan Shifan. This made Zhu Pingan feel jealous and made him unwilling. However,
But there is nothing you can do.
My relationship with Yan Shifan and Yan Xiaoxiang is not an ordinary relationship. They are very close relatives.
My own aunt entered the Yan Mansion last year and became Yan Shifan's first wife. It had no impact at first. But as luck would have it, last month after my aunt was found to be pregnant, she was forced to become a concubine.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to fill the gap in the Xicheng Military and Horse Division.
Gao Botai believed that it was because of his emphasis on this relationship that Zhu Pingan was unwilling but helpless.
"Haha, there is someone in the court who wants to be an official. It doesn't matter if you, Zhu Ping'an, are given a higher rank. What can I do?"
On the way back home, Gao Botai couldn't help but feel lucky again and again that he had a relationship with Yan Shifan. Otherwise, he, Zhu Ping'an, would
Thinking of Zhu Pingan, Gao Botai was still frightened and turned to look back at Zhu Pingan's leaving figure.
Zhu Pingan's steps seemed to be very hasty, and he looked embarrassed.
Looking at Zhu Pingan's hurried and embarrassed back, Gao Botai seemed to be able to see his unwilling but helpless face.
As a result, the lingering fear in Gao Botai's heart suddenly dissipated, and a happy smile quietly opened on his face:
It’s good to enjoy the shade under the big trees;
There are people in the DPRK who like to be officials
In Gao Botai's eyes, Zhu Ping'an, who left in a hurry and in an embarrassing manner, walked very quickly, but was never hasty or embarrassed.
why?
Because Zhu Pingan was anxious to go back and write a memorial.
For an official like Gao Botai, one more day of his existence means one more day of risk for the people!
In order to quickly return to Linhuai Marquis Mansion to write a memorial, Zhu Ping'an didn't even go to Zhu Ji. He just bought two steamed buns on the way back and ate them while walking.
In fact, it is possible to buy paper in a bookstore and write the memorial on the spot. However, due to privacy and safety considerations, and because the Linhuai Marquis' Mansion was not far from the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, Zhu Pingan chose to go back to Linhuai Marquis' Mansion to write the memorial.
After returning to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, Zhu Ping'an did not tell Li Shu what happened today in order to avoid Li Shu's worries. Instead, as usual, he joked with Li Shu as if nothing had happened. Amidst Li Shu's coquettish voice, he
Entered the study room.
After entering the study, Zhu Ping'an folded a piece of rice paper into the style of a memorial, then took up a pen and wrote a square "Zou" on the first side of the memorial.
On the second page, I wrote down my official position and name fairly, then put the brush aside for a while and started thinking.
Although time is tight, the content of the memorial is critical and cannot be hastily.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Ping'an began to write again. He planned to refer to the writing style of Ouyang Yijing, the famous curse god of the Ming Dynasty, and combined it with Chen Ru, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who inspected the Xuanfu and the tuntian of the Second Town of Datong three years later, to draft today's text.
memorial.
The final and most glorious battle of the future number one scolding god of the Ming Dynasty was with Gao Gong, the chief minister of the cabinet at that time. Ouyang wrote a memorial in which he recounted Gao Gong's evil deeds. The highlight was the famous treacherous minister Cai Jing in history.
Compared with Gao Gong, Cai Jing, the great traitor, was said to be worse than Gao Gong, which immediately incited the entire government and the public.
As soon as this memorial came out, it was so destructive that even Gao Gong could not withstand it. Seeing that the situation was not right, Gao Gong took the initiative to resign and go home to retire.
One can imagine the destructive power of curse words.
In the memorial, Zhu Ping'an referred to Ouyang Yijing's memorial to Gao Gong, and further upgraded it. In the memorial, he compared Gao Botai's behavior today with the behavior of Zhao Gao, the great treacherous minister in history, who treated a deer like a horse, and the treacherous minister Qin Hui of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Comparing the "unwarranted" behavior, Gao Botai's behavior of falsely accusing him as a thief today is worse than Zhao Gao's false behavior of calling a deer a horse, and Qin Hui's unwarranted behavior.
People are sitting in the palace, and pots come from the sky.
The situation is clear, and there is no evidence. Gao Botai is so bold that he solves the case and brazenly accuses Shangguan of being a thief!
If Shangguan is like this, what can ordinary people do?!
In this way, after the first half of the memorial was written, Zhu Ping'an continued the first half of the sentence "What can ordinary people do", started a new line, and wrote the second half of the memorial.
"Ordinary people are in hot water!"
Using this as an introduction, Zhu Ping'an disclosed Gao Botai's occupation of farmland, based on the memorial written by Chen Rufu, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and polished the text with Ouyang Yijing-like words.
After the memorial was written, Zhu Ping'an wrote "I would like to write this memorial" at the end of the memorial, noted the year, month, day, name, official position, and stamped his official seal.
After finishing, Zhu Ping'an blew gently with his mouth to speed up the pen and ink on the memorial and let the ink dry. Then he put the memorial into his arms and pushed out the door.
Li Shu was not in the courtyard. Zhu Pingan listened to Hua'er's explanation, saying that the eldest lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion had been wronged by her parents' family and had just come to Linhuai Marquis Mansion out of anger. Li Shu and other sisters were called by the old lady to accompany the eldest lady to relax.
I can't get involved in the affairs of the back house.
Zhu Ping'an nodded when he heard this, and told Hua'er that he was going to Zhu Ji and asked her to tell Li Shu when she came back. In addition, there was no need to prepare her own lunch at noon.
After saying that, Zhu Ping'an left the Jingxiang Garden, went to the stables to fetch the black horse that killed the horse, rode the horse out of the house, and went straight to deliver the memorial.
