At the end of Si Shi, it was time for the dynasty to disperse. Yun Zheng rode a horse to the outside of Xuande Gate. He handed the big green horse to Monkey and Han Niu. He quickly walked up the steps and waved his badge in front of the guards.
Go directly to Xuandemen. This is where the Sixth Department works. It is deserted now. It seems that the chief officials are still in the Zichen Hall.
Yun Zheng walked about a mile before entering the Daqing Gate. This is where the prime minister and the officials of the East and West Pavilions work. The Daqing Palace is very large. This is the place where large-scale ceremonies are held. If a new emperor ascends the throne,
The new emperor's wedding and the prince's pardon ceremony will be held here, so the palace is not open on weekdays. If all officials want to go to Zichen Hall, they must pass through the corridor of Daqing Hall.
When Yun Zheng walked through the cloister, it was already past and noon had just begun. When he saw officials from the Song Dynasty coming out of the Zichen Hall one after another, Yun Zheng straightened his clothes and stood by the roadside with a smile on his arms. He had already paid his respects just now.
The document was sent up, and it would probably take some time for the emperor to get it, so he stood on the roadside waiting for the emperor's response.
"Marquis Wenxin! Why did you come to the palace?" Pang Ji asked with a frown when he saw Yun Zheng standing beside him. He was very surprised. Why would Yun Zheng take the initiative to meet with the emperor at this time when he even refused the emperor's interview?
"Pang Gong, I am entering the palace to check with Your Majesty the rewards for the soldiers of Wu Sheng Army. The military princes under my humble command have completed His Majesty's instructions and are now returning to His Majesty's instructions." Yun Zheng said with a smile on his face.
Han Qi then said: "Marquis Wenxin, since you have handed over the military power, you should not ask more questions about Wu Shengjun."
"What the Political Consultant said is absolutely true. This should not be the responsibility of the lower official. It's just that some old soldiers have been with the lower official for many years. Now they are old and want to take off their armor and return to the fields. They come to the house to beg the lower official to ask for mercy from your majesty.
Let them go back to their hometowns, and if they can't be bothered by the official's feelings, come and see your majesty."
Han Qi nodded and said: "This is human nature. Your old subordinates are now considered rich. It is pitiful for them to want to return to their hometown to spend the rest of their lives in peace. Go ahead. If your Majesty is merciful, I will give them here."
A solid arrangement.”
Yun Zheng smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Han is considerate of the old soldiers, and the subordinates are grateful but disrespectful, so I will thank them on their behalf."
Pang Ji waved his sleeves and said: "The laws of the country are nothing more than human relationships. Some things can be accommodated and they will naturally be accommodated. Now that the military power of Wu Shengjun is in the hands of your Majesty, it is really time to ask for your Majesty's consent. You go quickly."
After Yun Zheng saluted Pang Ji, he planned to continue to the Zichen Hall. At this time, the emperor should handle some of today's memorials in the Wenhua Hall next to the Zichen Hall.
Pang Ji, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and other big guys were walking in front. When they were turning around the Daqing Hall, Wen Yanbo suddenly said: "Why do I always feel like something is wrong? What is Yun Zheng going to do today?"
Pang Ji smiled and said: "It must be because of Di Hanchen's matter. He and Di Hanchen were helping each other in Guangnan to achieve extraordinary achievements. At this time, hearing that Di Hanchen was in trouble, it was inevitable to help.
"
Han Qi said: "If that's the case, it doesn't matter. Speaking of which, Di Hanchen is not a treacherous villain. He has never put a penny of the money he got from Dali into his own pocket. Originally, he just wanted to punish him, but now it seems that he has become a little bit
It’s out of control.”
Wen Yanbo sighed and said: "Yun Changsheng and Di Hanchen are both fiery people. If they are whipped too much, it will not be a good thing. But Yan Guan has always been a loner, and our control over them has always been very limited.
Your Majesty will not allow us to interfere too much in Yan Guan's affairs. I am afraid that Yun Zheng is being questioned by Yan Guan at this time."
After the Daqing Hall is the Buhua Hall. Two long corridors lead straight to the Zichen Hall. The civil servants are on the right and the military attachés are on the left. This is the rule of the country. Since ancient times, China has respected the left. However, this changed in the Song Dynasty.
The right side is more noble than the left side. This is actually the credit of Yan Guan, who suddenly changed the world with his white teeth.
Yun Zheng was walking in a hurry today. He walked directly to the Zichen Hall from the right without looking. He nodded to the officials he knew along the way. When he saw Lu Qingyuan, he even bent down to salute. Lu Qingyuan quickly stopped him. Yun Zheng stopped him.
At that time, the official position was already above that of the teacher. Although it was inevitable to meet the teacher as a disciple when he returned home, this was a court, where superiors and subordinates still had to be respected. Lu Qingyuan could not afford Yun Zheng's gift.
Although the officials who were close friends with Lu Qingyuan also discovered that Yun Zheng had gone astray, they thought it was because Yun Zheng was not familiar with the etiquette of the country. In addition, Yun Zheng was humble and polite, so they magnanimously did not mention it. After all, it was
It is a very small, almost trivial matter. There is no need to criticize too much. As Mr. Lu Qingyuan, he will definitely explain it clearly.
Sure enough, after Lu Qingyuan helped Yun Zheng up, he said softly: "You are going the wrong way. Wen Youwu Zuo. Your current official position is General Yunhui. You should go to the left."
After hearing Lu Qingyuan's words, Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly and said: "This is my first time entering the palace. I really don't know the etiquette of the imperial court. I made my husband laugh, so I will go back and start again."
Lu Qingyuan smiled and said: "Exactly, the rules are the rules, and they are formulated to be followed. You can go ahead. I will take a bath tomorrow. Come to my home. Master and apprentice, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you very much."
You, let’s have a light meal together.”
Yun Zheng smiled and agreed, and also said that he had monkey wine presented by the savages in Guangnan. It was not very good, but it was very wild and interesting. He would take it with him to taste it when the time comes.
Gong sent the gentleman away, and Yun Zheng was about to go back, when someone behind him scolded: "Can vulgar people be allowed to walk on these white jade stairs now?"
Yun Zheng, who had just taken a step, suddenly turned around and looked at the bearded civil servant in front of him and said: "I don't know the rules and I did go wrong. But I am a dignified third-grade General Yunhui. Can't you be allowed to have a little respect for me?"
The bearded civil servant sneered and said: "Those who kill people and butcher dogs are willing to join our ranks! I heard that you are preparing to participate in the competition, so you know how to make progress. Although His Majesty will give you face, I will wait for you to go to the mountains and forests.
I won't say anything. If you are so indifferent and regard the etiquette and laws of the country as nothing, don't blame us for impeaching you."
The bearded civil official is the seventh-rank censor Liu Du. His rank is not high but his authority is great. He is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, patrolling prefectures and counties, prison litigation, military affairs, sacrifices, camp operations, cashier of the imperial palace, and knowing the court.
They can be said to have a hand in everything that happens in the world.
There are now six supervisory censors in the Song Dynasty. Liu Du was not such a mean person originally, but today in the court, their memorial to impeach Di Qing was forcibly suppressed by the emperor. Now seeing Yun Zheng, he still has the slightest forbearance.
Without waiting for Yun Zheng's answer, another censor, Feng Yue, laughed and said: "Vulgar people are just vulgar people. It's okay to let the tigers and leopards devour themselves in the mountains and forests. But if you want to go to the Jinyuhuatang, you will eventually make people laugh."
Yun Zheng was extremely angry and shouted: "How dare you bully others so much!"
Supervisory censors like to provoke each other and then attack them in groups. Seeing Yunzheng's rage, not only were they not afraid, but they all came forward and made sarcastic remarks. Only at this time, Yunzheng would make mistakes and have something to fall into their hands.
.
You said something, and I surrounded Yun Zheng with your words, almost using the most sinister words in the world on Yun Zheng. Although the words were vicious, the eyes of these people were clear, waiting for Yun Zheng's mind
The moment of loss.
Zou Tong was originally waiting for Yun Zheng in the Zichen Palace. His Majesty also wanted to have a long talk with Yun Zheng. He saw no one on the left and no one on the right. He sent a young eunuch to look for him, but the young eunuch reported that Marquis Wenxin was being interrogated.
Blocked in the Buhua Hall on the right.
When he hurried over, he found that Yun Zheng's face was red, his ears were clenched, and his whole body was trembling. He was being attacked by those officials who used sinister words. He screamed in his heart. According to what the eunuch Wu Yuntai said, Yun Zheng was simply a tiger. Now he was being attacked.
A few wild dogs were besieging him, but he couldn't bear it anymore. He just shouted: "Marquis Wenxin, don't be angry."
Then I heard Yun Zheng roar angrily: "How dare you, Mr. Shu, bully me!"
I saw him rounding his right hand, and punched Liu Du hard on the jaw. This punch was so powerful that Liu Du's bent body was about to fly up from the blow, and his mouth was full of teeth.
came out, and then fell to the ground silently.
Feng Yue never expected that Yun Zheng would dare to beat people here. Yun Zheng was not the only official who was usually angered by them. Seeing them furious, he felt like a cat teasing a mouse. Once this official's mind collapsed,
You will be eaten alive by them, slowly and slowly devoured cleanly.
Those people would cry to His Majesty for help, roar to defend themselves, and even beg themselves to stop talking. Even Di Qing himself would stand on the spot with a pale face and say nothing. Only Yun Zheng's reaction seemed wrong.
Before he could figure things out, he felt as if his internal organs and lungs had been moved out of place. He opened his mouth and spurted out blood, all over Yun Zheng.
Zou Tong watched with fear. People like Yushitai were very talkative, but when it came to force, they were far behind. Although Yun Zheng was not a master, after all, he had endured three years of hard work in the army and came to Tokyo.
I was so suppressed that I could still bear my temper when it got out of hand.
In the blink of an eye, the censors fell to the ground. His big feet were stomping and jumping on these censors. Zou Tong saw with his own eyes that the unconscious Liu Du's arm was broken by Yun Zheng's kick, and he was in severe pain.
It made him scream involuntarily even in his coma.
The remaining two censors ran towards the Daqing Gate without knowing their lives, shouting for help in a shrill voice as they ran! Yun Zheng chased closely behind him and punched one censor on the back. The censor was miserable.
He fell to the ground with a cry and was kicked hard by Yun Zheng in the face. Seeing that this guy's mouth was full of teeth, he continued to chase the remaining censor.
When Pang Ji hurried over, he only felt dizzy. The scene in front of him made his liver and gallbladder split. Yun Zheng was covered in blood. Lying on the ground was a censor who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Yun Zheng was carrying this guy's hand with red eyes.
One leg, with another leg under its feet, seems to be preparing to split the censor from between the legs!
Han Qi's face turned blue. Looking at the censor who was pooping and urinating, his heart felt cold. He yelled: "Stop!"
Yun Zheng seemed to be awakened. He glanced at Han Qi coldly, stuffed his official hat into his arms, and then stood outside the Buhua Hall with his hands behind his back, waiting for treatment. He just held his waist and straightened his back.
Like a javelin, there seems to be no regrets at all. (To be continued)
