Xu Jingzong is a fox, he will keep staring when he smells some meat.
With these worries on the second day, the lower-ranking civil servants did not have to go to court and could go to court later.

Li Yue and Aunt Wang were talking and laughing, and seemed to be talking about some interesting things in the palace.
After finishing lunch at home, Zhang Yang set off for the office of the Ministry of Rites. Before leaving, he glanced at Li Yue expectantly.
"My husband is also a person who works for the country!"
Li Yue hugged Zhang Yang.
The couple in other families might not be so close.
But here, this is very common.
Now we are familiar with holding hands when going out, and now we can hug each other, which is a big improvement.
Walk all the way out of the alley and pass by Dongshi.
When you come to the Suzaku Gate, behind the Suzaku Gate is a cage, which wants you to lose your yearning for a better life.
He stood like this in front of the door for a long time. The officers and soldiers guarding the Suzaku Gate couldn't bear it anymore. What did this man mean by standing there all the time?
"Why hasn't Denshiro come in?"
Zhang Yang asked doubtfully: "How do you know me?"
The officer and soldier had a smile on his face and said, "The Prince of Hejian County has already told us, and everyone knows Deng Shilang. We have taken care of everything."
"He's really thoughtful."
Zhang Yang felt ashamed and walked into the Zhuque Gate. There were many officials coming and going in the imperial city.
For Zhang Yang, entering the Suzaku Gate is a great torture.
Passing by the somewhat lively Ministry of War, and then passing by the bustling Staff Office, we arrived at the deserted Government Office of the Ministry of Rites.
There were no other pedestrians at the entrance of the government office, so it was a bit deserted and not like a government office.
"Hahaha! Your kid is finally here."
Hearing Li Xiaogong's laughter, Zhang Yang felt his scalp numb again.
Li Xiaogong pulled Zhang Yang into the government office, "Come, come, this is Xu Jingzong, the eighteenth bachelor of the Prince of Qin's residence."
Xu Jingzong saluted politely, "Deng Shilang, we meet again."
Zhang Yang said helplessly, "Yes, we meet again."
The three of them sat down, and Zhang Yang looked at Xu Jingzong again, "You said you are such a smart person, why did you fall in love with the Ministry of Rites government office? People like you should go to other government offices to shine and show your talents.
"
Xu Jingzong cupped his hands and said, "Actually, the Ministry of Rites is also quite good."
How obviously hypocritical, this guy is the kind of person who doesn't even blush when he tells lies.
To keep a distance from such people, Zhang Yang subconsciously moved his position.
Now the Ministry of Rites finally has another number one person.
Li Xiaogong smiled and poured a bowl of wine for Xu Jingzong, "Shilang Xu, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. What does it mean to go to another government office to shine and make people look like a candlestick?"
"Thank you so much, Prince Hejian." Xu Jingzong said while holding the wine bowl.
Li Xiaogong added: "It's not just other government offices that can show off their talents, our etiquette department can also show off our talents. The official has no knowledge, so don't argue with him."
"Of course not." Xu Jingzong said after taking a sip of wine.
Seeing Li Xiaogong hold Xu Jingzong in his arms, he almost lifted Xu Jingzong to the sky. I didn't know that the prince of Hejian County was also thinking of giving up his son.
Poor Xu Jingzong didn't know Li Xiaogong's true thoughts at all.
With this resentment, Li Xiaogong coaxed him hard, almost coaxing Xu Jingzong into confusion.
Other people's government offices were busy, but the Minister of Rites' government office was drinking wine, and there were a few loud noises.
The office of the Ministry of Rites is really special.
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Jingzong was already a little drunk and said, "Prince of Hejian County, I can no longer drink."
Li Xiaogong filled the glass for him again and said, "We are all afraid of you. You will be busy with the memorial ceremony in a few days."
"Xiaguan really can't drink anymore."
Li Xiaogong took the wine bowl and poured it into Xu Jingzong's mouth, "Drink more, don't waste such good wine."
After being given another sip of wine, Xu Jingzong smiled drunkenly.
He was so enthusiastic. I have never seen any superior in the court be so enthusiastic towards his subordinates. Li Xiaogong was the king of the county, and Xu Jingzong was also very kind and could not resist his kindness.
In other words, one thing reduces another.
I have to say that this Li Xiaogong really had the intention of subduing Xu Jingzong.
Wait until Xu Jingzong leaves the government office drunkenly.
Zhang Yang and Li Xiaogong looked at each other for a long time.
The plan is still going smoothly.
Zhang Yang said melancholy, "I feel like getting sick recently."
Li Xiaogong nodded slightly, "What a coincidence, I also want to get sick."
"Can this Xu Jingzong be trusted?"
Li Xiaogong snorted coldly: "Reliable or not, if he gets on my boat, he won't even think about getting off."
The two made an appointment to get sick together.
Zhang Yang asked curiously: "Isn't Prince Hejian going to write a note asking for leave?"
Li Xiaogong hesitated and said: "What is the leave request?"
"Don't we have a leave request from the DPRK?"
"I've never heard of it."
Zhang Yang picked up a pen and wrote down a request for leave, "This is the request for leave. It says that I need to take leave because I have some illness. I can't go to court to handle political affairs, so I have to take a few days off."
Li Xiaogong looked at it for a long time, "What disease do you have written on it?"
Zhang Yang sighed: "Wind cold, this season is not only warm during the day but also quite cold at night. It is the peak period of wind cold."
Li Xiaogong crossed his legs and thought about it for a while, "Okay, then I also write about wind and cold. This leave request note of yours is quite novel."
"Isn't it a good idea for two officials in the same government office to have the same disease? In order to avoid His Majesty becoming suspicious, our request for leave may fail."
"That makes sense. You have to think carefully about everything."
Li Xiaogong tugged at the beard on his chin, "Then what kind of disease do I have in mind?"
After taking a sip of the wine in the bowl, Zhang Yang thought for a while, "You might as well ask the doctor."
"Right."
I don't know if it was because he was drunk, but Li Xiaogong was a little dizzy when he left the government office.
The two agreed to fall ill together, and all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were handed over to Xu Jingzong.
Zhang Yang returned home.
Li Xiaogong found a medical clinic and shouted to the doctor here: "What kind of disease can prevent me from going to court for ten days and a half?"
The doctor looked at Li Xiaogong wearing official uniform and said in a low voice: "Then I dare to ask the prince of Hejian County what kind of disease he needs."
The doctor knew his purpose at a glance.
Li Xiaogong grinned and said, "You usually help people do this kind of thing, right?"
The doctor nodded, "Those kids from the Imperial College are regular visitors to the villain, and they often do this kind of thing to avoid going to lectures."
Li Xiaogong thought for a while, "The illness doesn't have to be too serious. It's best to be something very common and something that can't be cured in a short while."
The doctor nodded in understanding and pointed to a pile of bamboo slips beside him, "There are them over there, just pick them yourself."
Drunk Li Xiaogong, breathing heavily from his nose, picked up a scroll of bamboo slips and opened it to read. He was so drunk that he couldn't even read the words on it clearly.
After rubbing his eyes and looking for a while without seeing what was written on it, Li Xiaogong handed the bamboo slip to the doctor, "How do you think about the disease on it?"
The doctor looked at it and said: "It's an ordinary disease, not a serious one, and it's also very common, but..."
Li Xiaogong handed him a bunch of money and said, "This is it."
The doctor said again: "Isn't this appropriate? Do you really want this?"
Li Xiaogong nodded heavily, "That's it, where does all this nonsense come from."
The doctor took the money and had no choice but to nod. Since he had said so, the other party was still wearing official uniform, so he obviously didn't want to offend him.
At night, in the Manlu Hall, Li Shimin was reviewing memorials. After reading the bluffing story of White Snake, Li Shimin lost more than half of his favorable impression of Zhang Yang. How could such a good child write such a weird story.
However, the queen couldn't put it down so much that she even showed it to other concubines in the palace. Now the story of the Legend of White Snake is being spread throughout the harem.
Li Shimin always felt uncomfortable when he heard the words "White Snake".
How could a man, such a good and decent man...sigh!
Li Shimin couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and his writing became a bit messy when he was reviewing the memorial. Can't the boy tell the story of a man who devoted himself to the country and helped the country?
That kind of story is the most popular and the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The young eunuch outside the palace took two memorials and walked into the palace, "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the Ministry of Rites."
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Send it over."
The eunuch put the memorial aside and whispered: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites are sick."
"Get ill?"
Li Shimin opened a memorial, looked at it, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that this boy has caught the wind and cold. At this time of year, you really need to pay attention to the temperature of the day and night."
He wondered whether Li Xiaogong might also be suffering from cold. He opened the memorial and looked at the contents, and frowned at the first glance.
"Do you have severe pain in your lower abdomen? You look pale and have blood loss. Do you have it every month?"
After reading, Li Shimin took a breath of cold air. The more he looked at it, the more something was wrong. "What kind of disease is this? Call me Lu Zhaolin."
"Here."
Lu Zhaolin, who had finished his busy day and was about to rest, was hurriedly called into the palace again.
I was shocked and confused as to why His Majesty summoned me.
Arriving in front of Li Shimin, Lu Zhaolin saluted and said: "Your Majesty."
Li Shimin handed Li Xiaogong's memorial to Lu Zhaolin, "The prince of Hejian County said that he is ill. Look at what illness he has."
"Here."
Lu Zhaolin took the memorial with both hands and looked at the contents without saying anything for a long time, "This..."
"What's wrong? Is it serious?"
Lu Zhaolin sighed and said, "The illness of Prince Hejian is very strange."
Li Shimin sat down and looked at him, "Why is this weird?"
Lu Zhaolin struggled and said, "It would make sense if the Prince of Hejian County was a woman."
"Just say it."
Li Shimin was a little impatient.
Lu Zhaolin whispered: "Normally, this is a disease that only occurs when women are menstruating."
The hall was quiet for a while, and Li Shimin's expression froze on his face.
Lu Zhaolin also bowed and stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The night wind blew into the palace, and Li Shimin smiled as if he had seen through something, "Could it be that my brother has turned into a woman?"
Lu Zhaolin whispered: "It's incredible."
Li Shimin shook his head helplessly and sighed, "This brother of mine is really a fearful person. If I want him to have some success, he keeps trying to shirk the blame."
Lu Zhaolin seemed to understand some of the weirdness.
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Okay, please step back and rest early."
"I excuse myself." Lu Zhaolin bowed and walked out of the Ganlu Hall.
Looking at the two memorials in front of me, Li Xiaogong was ill and did not want to go to court, nor did he want to rectify the Ministry of Rites.
The matter with the envoys from various countries has come to an end, and I guess he is about to leave.
If Li Xiaogong is pretending to be ill, then is Zhang Yang also pretending to be ill?
Li Shimin handed this memorial to the young eunuch beside him, "Give this memorial to the Prince of Hejian County early tomorrow morning and tell him to use more wisdom in doing things in the future. How should the affairs of the Ministry of Rites be? If there is a next time, I will
I will not spare him lightly."
"Here."
In the early morning, Li Xiaogong felt happy physically and mentally because he had already asked for leave, and planned to go out to the city for hunting today.
While I was packing my hunting gear, the eunuch from the palace came.
Thinking that it might be His Majesty's people who sent him to express condolences, Li Xiaogong immediately put on a sick look.
The eunuch from the palace walked up to Li Xiaogong and said respectfully: "Prince Hejian, your Majesty asked the old slave to bring this memorial."
Li Xiaogong took it and took a look at it. Wasn't it a memorial written by him for his illness?
The eunuch said in a low voice: "Your Majesty said, forget it this time. If you are not lenient next time, what will happen to the affairs of the Ministry of Rites?"
Li Xiaogong stood there, speechless.
Only after the eunuch had left for a long time did he come back to his senses.
After another half an hour, Li Xiaogong changed his sick look, now his eyes were filled with anger, and he rushed out of the house with a stick in hand.
Walking on Zhuque Street, Li Xiaogong came to the previous medical clinic.
The doctor at the medical center smiled brightly when he saw Li Xiaogong. He liked the kind of customers who were not sick and were looking for a doctor the most.
"Guest, why are you here again?"
Li Xiaogong picked up the doctor's clothes and shouted: "You are looking for women's diseases for me. How did you become a doctor? I smashed your medical clinic."
"This guest, please stay calm!"
"How can you tell me to calm down!"
The doctor felt like crying, and he quickly said: "It's the patient who chooses the disease, right?"
Li Xiaogong nodded.
The doctor added: "The villain has asked again and again, so that's right."
Li Xiaogong recalled hard that he had drunk too much to drink Xu Jingzong yesterday, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"The villain also tried to persuade me at that time, but the guest ignored me."
Li Xiaogong fell silent.
"The customer chose it himself, and it is what he wants. If the customer destroys the villain's hospital, it will be an unreasonable disaster."
It makes sense. It was indeed reckless to smash his inn.
Li Xiaogong let go of his clothes.
After his feet landed on the ground, the doctor let out a deep breath and kept soothing his frightened soul.
Li Xiaogong strode out of the post house, with nowhere to vent his anguish.
I happened to see two extremely familiar figures on the street.
Zhang Yang was haggling with a tea seller, and Li Tai stood aside, speechless at the brother-in-law who dug his fingernails.
The tea seller looked bitter and said, "Guest, you can't sell this tea like this. How can you buy three catties and get one catty free?"
