Zhou Daowu lay on the ground and groaned, unwilling to get up.
It wasn't that the injury was too severe and he couldn't get up, but that his face was in burning pain and his appearance must have been disfigured. Even after wiping his nose, his hands were covered in blood. He really couldn't face the elders of Chang'an in such an embarrassed posture.
One moment he was arrogant and bossy, and the next moment he fell off his horse and was in a state of embarrassment. The contrast between before and after was really huge, it was so embarrassing...
But the people watching were pointing and pointing with great interest, and even more and more people gathered together. How long would he have to lie down like this?
Zhou Daowu was angry and full of sorrow, not knowing what to do...
Fortunately, the administrative department of the Tang Dynasty was quite efficient. Not long after the conflict broke out here, the Jingzhao Mansion received the news, and a team of police officers rushed to deal with it. The incident occurred not far from the imperial city. Once a crowd gathered, something would happen.
If any accident occurs, the entire Jingzhao Mansion will have to go around in pain...
The policeman leading the team came closer and dispersed the crowd of people who were surrounded by shouts and shouts. When he walked in and took a look, hey, isn't this Fang Erlang?
"I've seen the Minister of Housing in my humble position! Minister, you are..."
The patrol leader came forward to pay respects to his former superior, and asked with a flattering smile on his face.
In the officialdom, it is important for people to leave the tea. However, although Fang Jun left the post of Jingzhao Yin and took up the post of minister of the Ministry of War, it was a relegation to a certain extent, but no one dared to ignore it. Not to mention that the current structure of the entire Jingzhao Mansion is basically like this.
The relationship between the current Jingzhao Yin Ma Zhou and Fang Jun was created by himself. Who dares to show Fang Jun’s face?
What's more, when Fang Jun was in office, he "extorted" a large amount of money from the family members. Jingzhao Yin and Ma Zhou went to ask for it several times but failed. Every time, he was so angry that he couldn't help but begged Fang Jun to give it to Jingzhao.
The government is collecting debts. If anyone offends Fang Jun at this time, do you believe Ma Zhou can tear all his bones apart?
Fang Jun covered his forehead with a piece of handkerchief. His skin was broken where it had just hit the ground and he was bleeding. Hearing this, he pointed at Zhou Daowu who was lying on the ground and said: "These ruffians are riding horses in the street, trampling and injuring countless pedestrians, causing the entire sky to be damaged."
Pedestrians on the street were horrified, and the impact was extremely bad..."
Speaking of this, I happened to see a few barbarians with tall noses and dark eyes in the crowd of onlookers. Looking at the strange clothes on them, they were obviously envoys from various countries, so they said casually: "Friends, you are inexplicably surprised. If things go on like this, the country will no longer be a country."
! Quickly arrest these criminals and jail them, and then torture them to see if they are spies sent by the enemy."
The patrol leader almost fainted...
Fang Erlang, even if the guy on the ground is lying down and can’t see his face, I have ears and I can hear the people next to me saying that he is Princess Linchuan’s consort Zhou Daowu. If you two are fighting in the street, I won’t arrest you both.
Zongzheng Temple is doing well, but you still falsely accuse someone of being an enemy of the country?
Furthermore, why should the friendly countries be surprised? Even a dandy fighting against friendly countries should be surprised?
Having said that, when did our Tang Dynasty care about whether our allies were surprised or not?
If you like to be surprised, be surprised, no matter whether they die or not...
Why did the patrol leader say: "This... Fang Shilang Mingjian, although I have admiration for Fang Shilang like a mountain in my humble position, but as an official, I can't just accept your one-sided words and take him back, Governor Zhou..."
Fang Jun suddenly glared and said: "The prince breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Is it because he is the governor or the prince-in-law that he can be lawless? As for you saying what I am saying... Come on, come on, ask the people around here, this guy
Should Governor Zhou arrest him or punish him?"
"Should!"
"Fang Erlang is right. What happened to the governor? What happened to the consort? As long as you violate the king's law, you must admit your guilt and accept punishment!"
"That's right, Fang Erlang is also the consort, and my father is still the prime minister. I have made mistakes in the past, and have I not been beaten miserably by His Majesty?"
"We can testify that this man was riding a horse in the street with the intention of trampling pedestrians to death. If Fang Erlang hadn't stopped him in time, regardless of life and death, there would have been corpses scattered everywhere and rivers of blood... Please Jingzhao Mansion to arrest him and torture him to extract a confession!"
…
Well, the people in Guanzhong are so fearless that they unanimously accused Zhou Daowu of "attempted murder"...
Furthermore, is it really okay for you to say such words as "extorting confessions by torture" out of righteousness and indignation?
Is that a good word?
Seeing the fierce public opinion, the people's indignation was instigated by Fang Jun's few words. The patrol leader smiled bitterly and had no choice but to say: "The good minister Fang knows that you and Governor Zhou are both the princes-in-law of the dynasty.
Jingzhao Mansion has no right to interfere with this matter. This is the scope of authority of Zongzheng Temple..."
The matter involving the two royal consorts is really beyond the control of the Jingzhao Mansion.
Fang Jun was just talking. Is it really possible to arrest Zhou Daowu to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion? Even if he is arrested, so what? It is just riding a horse in the street. For a person like Zhou Daowu, it is nothing.
A sudden warning.
And the fact that he used a weapon to kill a horse in the street was a much bigger crime than Zhou Daowu...
"Come on, I have a heavy responsibility and am busy with official duties. How can I have time to argue with Zongzheng Temple? Even if this kid is lucky this time, I won't argue with him!"
Fang Jun seemed to be very angry and said, and then waved his hand to the people: "It's all gone, it's all gone, don't make a living and make money? I'm in a hurry to go to the Yamen to run an errand, so hurry up and get out of the way, don't block the road.
."
The people took the initiative to spread out a road, but did not leave.
Watching the excitement is a mark that is deeply rooted in the soul of this nation. Eating and sleeping are not as important as watching the excitement...
Zhou Daowu, who was lying on the ground, was extremely confused, what should he do?
Should we just get off the slope and settle the score later?
Or should he take advantage of the situation and fight with Fang Er to regain his face?
It seems that neither option is suitable. The former is embarrassing for Dafa. As for the latter... I am no match for Fang Jun. If I get beaten up again, my face will be completely lost to my grandma's house...
But if it's just revealed like this, what's going on?
I will become a laughing stock among the powerful people in Chang'an!
I was in a dilemma in my heart, when I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and a calm voice said: "Fang Consort, Zhou Consort, Your Majesty invites you..."
*****
Today is not a royal dynasty, so early in the morning, His Majesty Li Er came to Liangyi Hall to deal with important government affairs with a group of ministers.
After working for a while, seeing that there were still many things that could not be dealt with in a short while, His Majesty Li Er stopped all the ministers and ordered the maids to prepare cakes and tea.
Late.
The ministers naturally had no objections. In fact, although His Majesty Li Er was considered diligent, he was by no means a diligent emperor like the former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty who said, "Ten thousand years is too long, I only seize the day." He sacrificed himself and his subordinates.
The minister was like a donkey and kept whipping with the whip, and he was not allowed to waste a moment...
The monarch and his ministers abandoned the official documents in their hands and sat around in the side hall, eating cakes and drinking tea, talking about anecdotes about the current capital, which caused a burst of laughter from time to time.
The heavy rain that had shrouded the audience for more than half a month finally stopped, and the atmosphere was very harmonious...
However, there is a saying that goes well, good times are always fleeting, and troubles are the origin of life...
Wang De, the chief chamberlain, ran all the way into the side hall. Under the keen gaze of all the ministers, he walked directly to His Majesty Li Er and said softly: "Your Majesty, we have just received news that Zhou Daowu, the Governor of Youying and the Ministry of War,
The minister Fang Jun fought on the Tianjie outside the imperial city, and Fang Jun beheaded several horses of Zhou Daowu..."
There was a sudden silence in the side hall.
His Majesty Li Er was chewing a piece of pine flower cake. Hearing this, he was stunned and the cake choked in his throat...
Quickly pouring the tea down, His Majesty Li Er regained his composure, and immediately placed the tea cup heavily on the table and cursed: "Mother! Is that Bang Chui just a troublemaker? Fortunately, I thought he was older and more stable.
Come down, I plan to entrust you with an important task, we’ve only been here for a few days!”
The ministers looked at each other in confusion, secretly asking you, are you really serious about this? Do you expect Fang Jun not to cause trouble?
Haha, it would be more reliable to hope that pigs can fly into the sky...
Everyone is used to Fang Jun causing trouble. This is the routine operation of the stick, okay, no need to make a fuss...
His Majesty Li Er was annoyed. That stick was simply beyond the reach of common sense. Is it so difficult to live a good life?
Dang Ji said to Wang De: "Go quickly and bring those two bastards into the palace to find out the cause of the matter."
Then he said to the ministers: "My dear friends, please handle your own affairs. If you have any questions, I will ask about it tomorrow."
Then, he angrily returned to the harem and left a group of ministers hanging there...
