Chapter 688 Provoking the Cheng family, the year will not pass
Chapter 688: If you mess with the Cheng family, you won’t be able to survive the year... (please subscribe and vote)
Changsun Wuji stood at the door of the public house with a confused look on his face. What did this boy mean by this?
And Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang, whom His Majesty regards as the apple of his eye, is also involved, and what is the meaning of His Majesty's oral instructions?
Changsun Wuji's brain was running so fast that it almost overheated and broke down due to excessive overclocking.
But he still felt that he could not let these two leave the official department. If that happened, he would leave a bad impression in front of His Majesty that he ignored the national affairs because of personal grudges.
"I told you to wait a minute!" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but shouted again.
"Brother Chu Bi, look at this..." Li Ke asked nervously in a low voice.
"Ah? Brother Xian, what did you say?! My ears are not working well. I can't hear what you said. Please speak louder..."
Cheng Chubi acted like an old man in his dying years and severely deaf.
Even though he was walking side by side with Li Ke, he had to put his hands to his ears like a deaf old man listening to the radio.
"..." All the officials and scribes in the Ministry of Civil Affairs all had dark expressions on their faces as they looked at the vulgar martial artist on top of the actor's upper body.
It feels like there is a pig trough in front of everyone, and I really want to lie down in it.
Changsun Wuji's face turned black and became the bottom of a black pot where the golden juice had been boiling for hundreds of years.
At this time, Lu Chengqing saw Changsun Wuji's sideways gaze, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Lifting up his front, he was like a cheerful deer from the African savannah, running out of the door and running wildly in that direction.
"Cheng Taichang, His Highness King Wu, please stay..."
After Cheng Chubi dragged Li Ke for more than ten steps, he was finally stopped by the panting Lu Chengqing.
"You two, please stay here, it's Lu, no, it's the lower official who has neglected you..."
"Get out of the way." Cheng Chubi frowned unhappily.
"What do you mean, you treat your official department as a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and you want to prevent me and His Highness King Wu from getting in or out?"
Lu Chengqing almost cried when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and knelt down on his knees.
"You two, I can't apologize to you two, I ask you to be considerate of me..."
Seeing the middle-aged bearded man with snot and tears streaming down his face, Cheng Chubi turned his head unhappily, "Oh!"
The civil service office, which was full of people just now, now has all the public rooms with their doors and windows closed, and the people have already disappeared.
Including Fatty Changsun, who was standing at Lu Chengqing's door just now, didn't know which hole to hide in at this moment.
Li Ke had no choice but to reach out and help the middle-aged man, who was crying profusely, to help him up and persuade him.
"Okay, Dr. Lu, please get up quickly and speak slowly if you have something to say. There is no need to do this."
Cheng Chubi looked at the Tang Dynasty officials who were deserted at the moment, as if they were playing a haunted house game, and said to Lu Chengqing.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. I just ask if you can make the decision. If you can make the decision, then you can do things for us."
"If you can't, don't stop me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chengqing nodded wildly, fearing that if the order was late, this grumpy old man would leave again.
"Yes, I must be able. Please follow me to my residence so that I can copy the names of these people on the roster."
"What if your eldest grandson and the officials remove his name again?"
Cheng Chubi squinted his eyes, looked at the closed doors and windows around him, raised his voice and spoke loudly.
"Cheng Taichang, I won't do it. I can guarantee with my life that I won't do it..."
Lu Chengqing almost wanted to call him "ancestor". If Nima offends the Cheng family, they won't be able to survive the New Year.
"Brother Chu Bi, let's go. Let's give Mr. Lu a chance." Li Ke suppressed his laughter, and one of Cheng Chubi's faces turned pale and the other blushed.
Returning to Lu Chengqing's office, Cheng Chubi placed four papers there.
"This one is the person recommended by Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, General Xin Mao. Your Majesty has commented that, well, this person's articles are the most plain and meaningful, and he will definitely become the first in this year's imperial examination."
"..." Li Ke glanced at Cheng Chubi with a dark look on his face, Brother, you don't have a beard, what are you doing? You can't even imitate my father's behavior, right?
"Also, this person's name is Shangguan Yi, a talent recommended by His Highness King Wu, and these two are talents recommended by me. This person's name is Ren Yaxiang.
There is also this guy named Wu Jiangshou, this guy just needs to be on the list, after all, he is not as powerful as the other three."
Lu Chengqing responded repeatedly, transcribing these four names with pen speed, and specially marked them there with a pen.
Then he handed the roster to the two big guys he couldn't afford to offend. "Please take a look at it..."
"Hey, one, two, three, four? Is this appropriate?" Cheng Chubi glanced at Li Ke beside him, and then looked sideways at Lu Chengqing.
I saw Lu Chengqing, the doctor of the Civil Service Examination Department who had been so cowardly just now, looking upright and awe-inspiring, as if he was a martyr who could stand upright in the face of hail of bullets.
"It must be suitable. They are all talented people from the countryside who have been favored by His Majesty. Who dares to say that they are not suitable and has the ability to impeach me?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Lu really has the demeanor of a famous minister. When the imperial examination happens, Xiao Wang will definitely report it to his father..."
Li Ke smiled and saluted Lu Chengqing before speaking seriously.
Lu Chengqing personally sent Cheng Chubi and Li Ke to the gate of the Libu Yamen, and watched with a smile on his face as these two people, who hated dogs, jumped on their horses and left with great pride.
After the two figures disappeared at the corner of the street, Lu Chengqing's face darkened as quickly as possible.
His mouth was trembling, as if he wanted to say a few harsh words, but when he thought about it, these two guys were not easy to mess with.
In the end, all the troubles and pains turned into a sigh, and with a flick of his sleeves, he walked towards the Yamen with a desolate atmosphere.
Changsun Wuji finally took a step forward and entered his own room. He closed the door firmly and then sat down in front of the desk.
"Cheng Chubi is a yellow-tongued brat and a vulgar martial artist. It is simply... an insult to gentlemen. How can it be justified!"
Changsun Wuji cursed in a low voice and angrily took several photos of the case, thinking that he just wanted to avoid embarrassment.
As a last resort, I could only rush to the apartment of another doctor next to Lu Chengqing as quickly as possible.
Just under the guise of coming to check on official business, I stayed inside staring at the frightened doctor with big eyes and small eyes.
He stayed until those two bastards Cheng Sanlang and King Wu left the official department, and then he had the opportunity to rush back to his office.
My whole mood became less and less beautiful. When I thought of myself as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a close friend of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the brother of the Empress.
To be humiliated by those two bastards Cheng Sanlang and Wu King Li Ke in the official department was simply...
