"Erlang, when will you take me home to visit my uncle?"
In the early morning, there were two plum blossoms.
Irina hugged Huaiyu from behind and refused to let go, and mentioned entering Wu's house with a somewhat shy tone. An Yuanshou gave An Lu a betrothal gift for Wu Huaiyu, and even transferred a wine shop to his family in Huaiyu's name.
.
Irina thought she was Huaiyu's concubine, and wanted to enter the Wu family impatiently, but while Huaiyu was getting dressed, she was worried about Fan Xuanfu.
Huaiyu suddenly shuddered at the thought of her narrowing her eyes, raising her eyebrows, and holding a horse sword.
There is a gentle and gentle Runniang at home, and here Irina, who is as passionate as fire, cannot be rejected.
You have your cake and eat it too, men are always so greedy.
"I haven't told my mother-in-law about this yet. Give me a few days and I'll talk to my mother-in-law first. Then I'll come to pick you up."
How a scumbag is cultivated is probably a process like this.
As the saying goes, those who are close to the ink are evil. If you have a thief's heart and given the big environment, you will not be immune to the vulgarity.
"I'm going to court first."
"Then come back early after your shift, I'll be waiting for you."
Huaiyu really couldn't bear to part with her. This Hu Ji was so passionate, charming, and unrestrained. Compared with the two Gao sisters at home, she was like heaven and earth. The Gao sisters actually also have pretty good facial features.
, but she is not beautiful by any means. She has suffered a lot even though she was not a servant in the palace. She has average skin and figure, and is a bit malnourished, yellow and thin. She does not know how to please a man.
Compared with Runniang in the same courtyard, she is not attractive at all.
"Okay." Wu Huaiyu finally couldn't refuse her shy and expectant look.
After getting dressed, Irina kissed him goodbye before going out.
Anlu, Gaia and his wife also wanted to make breakfast for Huaiyu. Huaiyu said that he was in a hurry and left in a hurry. Fortunately, Yanshoufang was only two kilometers away from Huaiyuanfang. He rode back to his home in Huaiyuanfang to change clothes.
"Why didn't Erlang come back last night? I'm worried to death."
"Didn't I ask Xu Dalang to come back and tell me that I had something to do tonight and stay at my colleague An Dalang's place?"
"What's the matter? I have to stay one night."
Runniang looked at Huaiyu with some suspicion, and suddenly sniffed a few times.
"Erlang," she said with jealousy on her face, "did An Dalang take Erlang to drink wine and perform tricks?"
"Freeze said."
"Erlang's body smells so strong, it's obviously the smell of a woman, and there's that smell..." Run Niang's face turned red.
This little nose is really clever, Huaiyu himself didn't feel any smell.
"Has Erlang begun to dislike slaves?"
"Nothing."
"Then why do you ignore the others at home and go out to play with women?" Chen Runniang was very proud and happy when she saw Huaiyu ignoring her second high school friend and only pampering her. Unexpectedly, she found Wu Huaiyu outside playing with women this morning.
Wu Huaiyu smiled awkwardly and held her hand, "Don't think too much about it, it's actually just a social interaction between colleagues, you can't help it!"
Chen Runniang pouted angrily.
"Let's not talk about it for now. I have to get dressed and go to court."
"Erlang, please go take a bath first, otherwise the smell will be too strong..."
Runniang was jealous, but she still served Huaiyu virtuously, bathed and changed into Rui Niu Qianniu clothes. Huaiyu hurriedly left the hospital and rode horseback to go to court.
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. Erlang remembers to come back early for reunion and don't spend the night outside." Run Niang did not forget to explain. "Erlang also knows how to socialize with slaves when he is out, but he must not leave the housewife. If he is captured,
The historian knows it, but he will be impeached and removed from office."
In the backyard room, the Gao sisters were sitting in the room, listening to Run Niang bid farewell to Huai Yu outside. The poor sworn sisters burst into tears.
Originally it was Gao Hui'an's turn last night, but he waited all night without seeing anyone.
Who would have thought that Erlang would not want her even though he was flirting with women.
Emotionally broken, she was so ashamed that she wanted to hang herself.
······
August 15th is the day of the New Year.
All officials above the ninth rank in Beijing must go to court.
When ministers see the king, they will call the court, and when the king sees the ministers, they will call the meeting, which is collectively called the court meeting. The first and fifteenth day of the lunar month is also called the New Year's Day and Wangri. In the Wude Dynasty, there was no system for watching the day after the first day of the lunar month.
However, today is the first time Li Shimin has looked at the sun since he ascended the throne, so it is particularly grand.
Li Shimin sat in the Xiande Hall and looked at the court.
Hundreds of officials wear trousers with pleats turned upward, those below the sixth rank wear green, and those above the sixth rank wear red clothes. There are many people attending the court today, and the etiquette is also very grand.
Twenty-four Thousand Oxen Guards from the Left and Right Mansion, even half of them are on duty today, wearing auspicious cow green embroidered clothes, with feathers in their hats, standing in front of the emperor holding a domineering Thousand Oxen Sword.
Twelve thousand bull warriors hold swords in their hands, and twelve warriors carry bows and arrows on their left and right sides, standing under the throne.
Majestic.
This was the third time that Huaiyu went to court. The first time he participated in the Chang Dynasty as a minister of public affairs, he was implicated by the small-eyed Xu Jingzong and was fined one month's salary.
The second time he went to court as a young eunuch of military weapons, he was ranked in the fifth-grade civil service class. However, he was impeached by Wei Zheng, an old man with a nose, and the young eunuch who had just been serving as a young eunuch for three days was fucked.
This was the third time he went to court and participated in the Shuowang Dynasty, but he was facing hundreds of officials and officials as a guard with a sword.
There were too many officials participating in the court meeting today, and there was only room for senior officials in the palace. Most of the officials were outside the palace, under the corridors, or even in the square.
After two experiences, Wu Huaiyu was very calm and calm today, holding the five-foot-five Thousand Ox Sword and standing there majestically.
His eyes swept back and forth among the princes, prime ministers, ministers, and ministers in the palace below. Many of them he already knew, and most of them he didn't recognize.
The hall is equipped with a futon, a mat, an incense burner, an incense table, and a display of ceremonial guards.
The imperial censor led the officials to the west verandah of the palace and urged all officials to take their places. Under the leadership of the supervising censor, the officials took their places in the palace according to their rank.
After everything was ready, the emperor came out and ascended to the throne, and the officials performed the ceremony of bowing before singing praises during the ceremony.
The enshrining class is in the front, facing east and west, and the other officials are ranked according to their rank, civil to the left and military to the right.
Stand in different positions and feel the differences in the meeting.
Huaiyu just felt bored during such a grand Shuowang court meeting today. Maybe he was a little greedy last night and delayed his sleep. Standing in front of the emperor, Huaiyu felt a little drowsy.
This Hu Ji's fighting ability is so strong and so wild that she almost failed to surrender last night.
Nothing will be done at the meeting today, and nothing will be discussed at the meeting.
He just read out some edicts, which made people doze off even more. He even felt that Li Shimin's meeting was a bit extravagant and wasteful, and it was just a formality.
He came twice a month and didn't discuss matters seriously, so why was it necessary? He tormented the officials in the capital for a long time early in the morning. In the end, he couldn't even see the emperor. Ninety percent of the officials were standing outside the palace. It was so refreshing in the autumn.
Good, I can blow the autumn breeze outside and feel the breath of autumn.
If it rains and snows in winter or spring, it will be torture and punishment.
It was time to get up at the fifth watch and go to court. By the time it was over, he had been standing for almost three hours. Huaiyu, who was so young, felt that his legs were numb from standing.
It lasted three hours without a break, I couldn't drink water, I couldn't go to the toilet, I couldn't even fart, it was a bit hard.
At this time, he began to hate Wei Zheng. If it weren't for this wise man, he was now the young military inspector. Even if he went to court every day, he would still be kneeling in the palace. It would be much better than standing here and posing.
He found Wei Zheng in the palace. This guy was promoted again and went to Hebei and Shandong to recruit the old Yuanji tribe of Jiancheng. He accomplished the task brilliantly. After the Xuanwumen Incident, many local officials began to crack down on the old tribe of Jiancheng Yuanji, especially in Shandong.
In the Hebei area, people are panicking.
Wei Zheng traveled all over Guandong, promptly conveyed Li Shimin's will, and vindicated some unjust, false and wrong cases, which changed the somewhat out-of-control situation and made Jiancheng Yuanji's old subordinates grateful for Li Shimin's pardon.
After returning to Beijing, Li Shimin fulfilled his promise and granted him the title of Founding Father of Julu County. Not long after, he was promoted from Zuo Jianyi to Shangshu Zuocheng.
This is the fourth-level appointment, and Wei Zheng has been promoted to four levels in a row.
Shangshu Zuocheng is the provincial official of Shangshu. He is in charge of the three departments of officials, households and rites. He is mainly responsible for the supervision of affairs in the province. There are six departments of Shangshu, three of which are supervised by Wei Zheng.
Although this official is not as high-ranking as the minister, his duties are very important. Together with You Cheng, he supervises the affairs of the minister's province, leads the ministers and historians to supervise and audit various ministries, oversees government affairs, supervises the recording of documents and memorials, supervises the impeachment of servants, ministers and other civil and military officials.
Known as the Supervisor, he is also in charge of court etiquette, ancestral temple sacrifices, selection of officials and other documents.
This veteran has soared to the sky, and has truly gained Li Shimin's trust. Although he has not yet become prime minister, he is already one step away from entering the political hall.
If he made some more political achievements, the emperor might just give him a title such as "participating in political affairs", and he would be able to become prime minister with the position of Minister Zuocheng.
Annoying.
Other people's ministers, Pushe, the six ministers, ministers, and doctors are responsible for specific affairs. Wei Zheng is responsible for keeping an eye on others and checking for their loopholes. I have to say that Li Shimin's appointment is quite appropriate. Wei Zheng is the kind of person who is very talkative.
people.
But he is not a government talent like Fang Du. He is really good at making good use of people when conducting supervision.
Maybe I looked at it for too long.
Wei Zheng raised his head and looked at him.
Their eyes met and collided in the air.
The new minister Zuo Cheng, who is nearly fifty years old, is a man from Julu County, and the eighteen-year-old Qianniu Beishen, escorting Qianqiushi, a man from Daling County, one old and one young, look at each other.
Huaiyu didn't look away, he just looked directly at Wei Zheng, even condescendingly.
Wei Zheng looked at him without fear.
The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Wei Zheng withdrew his gaze first.
Huaiyu turned his back to Li Shimin and didn't know that Wei Zheng looked back because Li Shimin looked here and stared at Wei Zheng with his long eyes, so Wei Zheng withdrew his gaze from him.
Morning ends.
Huaiyu's mission was not over yet, because the emperor wanted to summon the Turkic envoy Zhi Huansili in Beiyuan, and Wu Huaiyu had to continue carrying the Thousand Ox Sword to serve as the emperor's attendants and to support the ceremonial guard.
Outside Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin arrived.
Huaiyu was ordered to summon the marquis to see Zhi lost his thoughts and face the Holy Spirit.
Not far away, Zhi lost his mind and sat under the shade of a tree, feeling impatient. One of his followers, a Turkish noble officer, came up and asked the camp officer, "Let us wait here. Is this the etiquette of your Tang people?"
"We need to see Prince Tang immediately."
"Please pay attention to your title. My Lord is the Emperor of the Central Plains and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to talk nonsense."
The nobleman pointed the riding whip at the officer, "That is your emperor, not our emperor. When your supreme emperor asked us to form an alliance with the Turks and send troops, all his letters used the word "kai". Your emperors all proclaimed themselves vassal to us.
Now I, the Turkic Jieli Khan, and the Tuli Khan have a million troops, just north of Chang'an City. If you dare not surrender, you will turn the entire city of Chang'an into ruins..."
"Bold!" the camp officer yelled, "how dare you be so rude as a mere entourage of Turkic envoys?"
The entourage of the Turkic envoy actually openly said that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had professed vassalage to their Turkic envoys. The officers and soldiers present at the camp could not bear this.
Zhi lost his mind and sat on the pony, but he just watched with cold eyes and did not scold his subordinates.
The entourage became more and more arrogant. Faced with the rebuke from the camp officer, he arrogantly waved his riding whip and whipped him.
Wu Huaiyu came over and happened to see this scene.
"Stop it, you are so brave, you actually dare to beat the guards of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the Chang'an Forbidden Garden of the Tang Dynasty!"
"What's the matter with beating you? We, the Turkic Khans, have a million soldiers and are approaching the Wei River. If you don't quickly surrender and pay tribute and cede the land, we will attack your Chang'an city and take your emperor alive and take him back to the grassland to graze his sheep. You
The minister of Zhongshu was captured alive by us in Hedong last year, and now he is herding sheep in Mobei..."
Seeing how arrogant this guy was, Huaiyu picked up the Thousand Ox Sword in his hand and smashed it down without taking it out of its sheath.
The guy was a noble, very young, and quite strong, but he didn't expect that Wu Huaiyu would dare to attack him. He was so arrogant that he was unprepared for a moment, and was slapped in the face by Huaiyu with a scabbard, causing blood to splash everywhere.
The bridge of his nose was also broken, and several teeth flew out.
Huaiyu hit the target without stopping.
Instead, he continued to beat him with the knife, hitting him hard all over his head and face, knocking the guy unconscious to the ground. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't get up at all.
"stop!"
Zhi lost his mind and originally allowed his entourage to make trouble, but he also wanted to make the trouble bigger so that he could beat the Tang people.
Unexpectedly, a young military attache suddenly came and beat down the Ashina family member in a few blows until his face was covered with blood and he fainted.
"How dare you beat my Turkic envoy."
"Pooh!"
Huaiyu withdrew the knife and spat at the dead dog on the ground, "Since you barbarians don't know etiquette and dare to beat the guards of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in my forbidden garden of the Tang Dynasty, then I will teach you what etiquette is.
"
"Who are you? I want to ask Emperor Tang to deal with you." Zhi lost his ability to think and his face turned red.
"As the Qianqi envoy, the male warrior Huaiyu from Daling County, are you stubborn and unable to think?"
"I am the envoy of the Turkic Great Khan, Zhi lost his thoughts."
"Follow me, the saint summons you."
Zhi lost his mind and looked at his subordinate who was still lying on the ground twitching, "Do you know who this is? He is the son of our Shibi Khan, the younger brother of Tuli Khan, and the special Qin Ashina Association. You must apologize to him.
Apologize and pay for your rudeness..."
Huaiyu spat at the dead dog on the ground with disdain, "Even if he is Jie Li, if he dares to openly insult the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I will not be polite to him. This is considered a minor offense. Just now he
If he dares to resist, my Thousand Ox Sword will have cut him into two pieces.
Let's go, don't keep His Majesty waiting."
Zhi lost his mind and was so angry that he was trembling all over when he saw this young military attache looking down on them.
