Early in the morning, outside the Zhuque Gate in Chang'an.
The disheveled Cheng Yaojin yawned and staggered along Zhuque Street towards the palace.
He drank too much last night and he still hasn't sobered up. If it weren't for the fact that today was a court meeting, he would have wanted to be like Li Jing and make up an excuse not to come to work because he had a stomachache.
"Why……"
He sighed and said hello to the guards guarding the palace gate, which moved several guards to the point of being shaken.
"Hey, Brother Cheng!"
Behind him, someone let out a low cry. Cheng Yaojin, who was feeling good about himself, rolled his eyelids and thought that someone was coming to establish a relationship. He often encountered this kind of thing here.
"Who do you call big brother? Who is your big brother!"
Rolling his eyes, Cheng Yaojin looked behind him impatiently. Unexpectedly, at this glance, why did he feel so familiar?
"Xiao...Xiao Han? What happened to you? You were beaten?!" He rubbed his eyes and looked twice. Finally, Cheng Yaojin finally recognized that the guy in front of him turned out to be Xiao Han!
But the Xiao Han who wanted money was a little different from the Xiao Han in previous memories!
At this time, Xiao Han's nose was bruised, his face was swollen, and his head was swollen! He looked like a pig's head, no wonder he didn't recognize it just now!
"I wasn't beaten by anyone!"
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's flickering eyes, Xiao Han gritted his teeth and cursed!
He really wasn't beaten by anyone, but he fell into a ditch yesterday and was hit by a bullock cart!
It’s just that it’s a bit embarrassing to say this out loud!
A general on the battlefield could overturn a bullock cart, and he was detained in it. He was overheard and still didn't laugh out loud?
"You... weren't beaten by someone?"
Cheng Yaojin stared with bull's eyes, and after hearing this, he glanced back and forth at Xiao Han again! When he saw the Wu Ban in his hand——
Well, let’s call it Wuban for now.
Although Cheng Yaojin has never seen Wu Ban who is almost three feet long!
If he had to describe it, Lao Cheng felt that the pole stick was more suitable for it!
"There seems to be a big show today?" Cheng Yaojin suddenly became excited after staring at the extremely long ivory stick for a long time.
Without asking why Xiao Han was in such misery, he put his arms around his shoulders and hurriedly walked to the main hall. He couldn't wait any longer!
By the way, since Xiao Han, Duan Zhixuan and others have been sent abroad one after another, the Tang Dynasty Conference has become more and more boring!
Compared to the current kind of court meeting where one would fall asleep just listening to it, Lao Cheng felt that the previous kind of court meeting where people disagreed and fought against each other was more suitable for him!
Fortunately, Xiao Han is back now!
Recalling the spectacular scene in the past when Xiao Han was quarreling with the Confucian scholars and causing a stir in the court, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but grin.
"Well, I don't know who Xiao Han is going to fight soon! Should I follow him and do something dirty, or should I just go out openly and jump out and start fighting?"
While Cheng Yaojin was still thinking about the next scene, the two of them had already arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, which was also the former Daxing Hall.
Due to the big court meeting, many officials had already arrived in the Taiji Hall. At this moment, most of them had their hands crossed and greeted their familiar colleagues warmly.
Of course, these people appear to be in good company on the surface, but it is unknown whether they ever thought about stabbing each other to death in their hearts.
"Mr. Cheng! Haha... You came a little late today. Hey, who is this chubby brother next to you? Is he your nephew?"
When the two stepped into the Tai Chi Hall, they were met by a tall and thin civil servant. When they saw Cheng Yaojin coming in, they quickly greeted him with a flattering smile.
"Little fat brother?" Xiao Han, who had just entered the hall, was stunned for a moment. When he understood that he was addressing himself, he suddenly became furious and wished he could lick out his big teeth.
"You are the chubby one! Your whole family is chubby!"
"Huh? Why does this little chubby brother look familiar?"
Perhaps feeling Xiao Han's murderous eyes, the tall and thin civil servant squinted his eyes and took a closer look. As a result, after he recognized that the person was Xiao Han, a pair of eyeballs almost popped out!
"Xiao Hou..."
He screamed like he was seeing a ghost, and when he saw the "polar" in Xiao Han's hand, the civil servant who was close to him slipped into the crowd without saying a word, not daring to stand out again!
I'll go! In the court, who doesn't know that Mr. Xiaohou is not easy to mess with? Since he is not easy to mess with in normal times, after being beaten into a pig's head, he must be even more difficult to mess with!
For your own safety, it is better to stay away from him!
"Xiao Hou?"
"He is Xiao Hou? Why was he beaten like this?"
"Hush, I heard that yesterday he beat up the spokesperson of the Wang family. Maybe he will be retaliated against on the same day!"
"Tsk, tsk, after all, they are the most powerful clan in the world. They don't even sleep overnight for revenge. I don't know if they were beaten in a dead end or with a sack..."
As the tall and thin civil servant escaped with a "ouch", a buzz immediately sounded in the huge court! Officials from all walks of life pointed in Xiao Han's direction.
"What are you looking at! Do you think I'm looking at your grandpa?" Cheng Yaojin, who was being pointed at at the same time, was unhappy when he saw this. He put his hands on his hips and cursed around him.
However, not only did this not shut up, but it also provoked a lot of abuse from "old man..." and "not a son of man."
When Cheng Yaojin saw this, he refused to show weakness even more. He rolled up his arms and sleeves and went up to scold these people.
————
From the back of the palace, Li Shimin, who was walking slowly, was a little unhappy when he heard the noise in front. This was no longer the time when he had just ascended the throne. He was still so undisciplined now. It was really nonsense!
Li Shimin stretched out his hand to stop the eunuch who wanted to step forward to be silent. Li Shimin walked out from the back of the palace step by step with a dark face.
In the main hall, Xiao Hanhan watched without saying a word.
Cheng Yaojin, as well as Duan Zhixuan, Xue Wanche, Liu Hongji and others who joined later, were extremely excited. At this time, they were joining forces and spitting wildly around them. It was a prosperous scene.
"Ahem, Your Majesty is here!"
At the front of the civil service team, Changsun Wuji, who was enjoying watching the play, turned his head inadvertently and suddenly found that Li Shimin had been sitting on the dragon chair at some point. He was shocked and stood up quickly without forgetting.
Let me remind you of Du Ruhui who is also watching the fun with his hands behind his back.
"Stop making trouble! Your Majesty is here!"
Soon, more and more people discovered this, and the noisy court immediately became quiet.
The ministers who had just gathered around Xiao Han and Cheng Yaojin either hurried or trotted to their seats, straightened out their official robes, wiped the foam from the corners of their mouths, and tried to look calm.
"Come on! Scold! Who am I, Old Cheng, afraid of! Hahaha..."
After turning around in a big circle, Cheng Yaojin, who was facing away from Li Shimin at this time, was obviously a little more nervous. He didn't notice anything wrong until now. He thought they were all afraid of him. He was akimbo and laughing at everyone.
.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Next to him, Mr. Wu from the Ministry of Industry was of good character. When he saw this, he quickly winked at him and reminded him in a low voice.
"Old man Wu, who are you trying to scare with your winks? Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, go out and try! I'll give you a hand, wow..."
"I……"
After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Old Man Wu rolled his eyes and almost fainted from anger.
I kindly remind you that you are so ungrateful that you want me to go out and fight with you?! I will beat you!
