Chapter 1302: Success is not enough and failure is more than enough
Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty, I think this is just spreading rumors. All the officials in the Ministry of Rites and Rites are kind-hearted and have never had any conflicts. How could there be a fight? It must be the mistake of General Manager Ximen."
Ximen Qing said: "Mr. Chen, there is no mistake. There is a fight between the host and guest department and the catering department."
Duhe?
It must be Duhe.
Chen Shuda said angrily: "Your Majesty, have you seen it? In the past, the Ministry of Rites was in good condition, and nothing like this had ever happened. As soon as Du He came, the Ministry of Rites started fighting, which shows that he is still too young to be in charge of the entire host and guest department.
Ah, your Majesty, please be sure to appoint a host and guest doctor as soon as possible, so that you can restrain Du He's behavior, otherwise, today will be a fight, and tomorrow it may be something else."
Li Er nodded: "Chen Aiqing, what you said makes sense, but the top priority is to find out what's going on. I want to go and see for myself why the host and guest department and the catering department are fighting."
With that said, he was about to walk out.
Chen Shuda hurriedly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, you are rich in wealth, how can you investigate this matter? Besides, I think that although it is said that there was a fight between the dining department and the host and guest department, at most it was just Du He beating someone. This matter,
Just leave it to me to handle it."
On the side, Ximen Qing added: "Your Majesty, not only a few people started fighting, but also the entire host and guest department and the entire catering department. The scene was very chaotic. At least more than fifty people participated in the battle."
In the imperial city, there was a melee of more than fifty people, which could be considered a small-scale team battle.
Li Er couldn't sit still anymore: "Okay, Chen Aiqing, please lead the way."
Chen Shuda gritted his teeth and quickly led the way.
…
Dining Department.
More than thirty officials from the dining department lay on the ground.
From the diners to the cooks, no one was spared.
One by one they were lying on the ground, wailing.
Ma Tianyu, the doctor of the dining department, leaned on a stone bench, stared at Zhu Ping and others, and said viciously: "Zhu Ping, you host and guest officials are so lawless that you dare to beat your colleagues. Just wait, I will report this matter to the minister."
Sir, if you can't eat and walk around in circles, don't think that with Du He backing you up, you can do whatever you want. Huh, that's unreasonable... Even Du He can't hit people casually. Just wait, Master Shangshu will definitely do it.
I'll make the decision, and I'll have to meet with Your Majesty to tell him about the matter... All of you hosts and guests, please wait until you are dispatched to the border."
"Yes, you bastards from the host and guest department, you are finished!"
"It's too much to bully someone."
"The host and guest went too far. He dared to rush to the dining room and beat someone!"
"Ouch, my waist!"
One by one, they were cursing.
The fifteen people who were scolded by Zhu Ping were all young and energetic young men. They all crossed their arms and looked at the guys in the dining room jokingly.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Master Du is here!"
Everyone turned their heads.
I saw Du He walking in with a cold expression.
Ma Tianyu shouted: "Du He, look at the good deeds of your men. How dare you rush to the dining room to beat them. How do you discipline your men? I must take a copy of your discipline."
If you are not strict, what crime should you be punished for?"
Du He glanced at Ma Tianyu and ignored him. Instead, he came to Zhu Ping and asked, "Zhu Ping, what's going on?"
Zhu Ping bowed and said: "Dean, the officials of the dining department scolded you, saying that you have a small belly and chicken intestines and can't tolerate people. They forced Chen Zhuzhu, Meihuashan and others to leave. They also scolded you with even worse words... We really can't listen to it.
, I just responded with a few words, and they took advantage of the large number of people to attack... We couldn't bear it anymore, so we started to fight, and we didn't know how, but we got in."
The people in the dining department are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and are no match for Zhu Ping and others.
At first, everyone just started working at the dining door.
As the beatings continued, there was chaos. Zhu Ping led his men all the way into the dining department, and pulled out the bewildered chief of the dining department, Ma Tianyu, and gave him a beating.
After hearing this, Du He was speechless for a while.
Then, he turned around, looked at Zhu Ping and others, and said, "You are saying that more than thirty people from the dining department beat you up?"
ah?
Zhu Ping was stunned.
The officials behind him were also stunned for a moment.
Zhu Ping reacted the fastest. He fell to the ground suddenly, grabbed mud and smeared it on his face. He shouted with an exaggerated expression: "Dean, help me... I was dragged into the dining room by the people from the dining room and beaten into this miserable state.
Looks like..."
Seeing this, other people fell to the ground one after another. Some people tore off their clothes, some spread their hair, some took off their shoes and threw them out, some rolled on the ground, and some imitated Zhu Ping and slapped them on their faces.
Apply mud...
A moment later, fifteen of Zhu Ping's men were lying on the ground miserably, wailing.
That situation was more than ten times more miserable than that of the food department official who was beaten.
Ma Tianyu was dumbfounded.
Everyone in the dining room was stunned.
Ma Tianyu stood up angrily and shouted at Du He: "Du He, you are shameless!"
The officials in the dining department were furious and stood up one after another and surrounded Du He, all with fierce looks on their faces.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded at the door: "Stop, what do you want to do?"
Swish swish swish.
Everyone turned to look.
I saw Chen Shuda, the Minister of Rites, rushing over angrily, followed by a person...it seemed...no, it was His Majesty.
Ma Tianyu and others were suddenly struck by thunder.
Li Er followed and walked over.
Chen Shuda stepped forward, looked at Ma Tianyu, and asked, "Ma Langzhong, what's going on?"
Ma Tianyu immediately cried and cried: "Sir, you have to make the decision for us. The people in the host and guest department went too far. They even rushed in and beat us up."
However, after he finished speaking, he saw Li Er and Chen Shuda looking at him like a fool.
Li Er's face was gloomy.
Chen Shuda couldn't bear it anymore. He pointed at the more than thirty aggressive officials behind Ma Tianyu, and then pointed at Zhu Ping, who was lying on the ground in a miserable state, and roared: "Ma Tianyu, do you think I am an idiot? Host and Guest Secretary
All the people were knocked to the ground by you, and you still said that people from the host and guest department rushed in and beat you up? Your Majesty is right here, how dare you deceive me?"
Ma Tianyu hurriedly explained: "Sir, listen to me..."
"Okay!" Li Er suddenly spoke, turned to look at Du He, and asked, "He'er, you should tell me, what's going on?"
Du He bowed and said: "Father, in fact, I just got the news and rushed here. When I arrived here, I looked like this... I was not at the scene, so I didn't dare to talk nonsense, so as not to make others think it was wrong.
It was made up by my son, why not let the person who was beaten speak for himself."
Du He shouted: "Zhu Ping, come here."
Zhu Ping thought for a moment, then crawled on his knees, dragging his legs, and came to Li Er and others.
I squeezed out two tears before saying: "Your Majesty, it's so miserable for us to wait, please do something for us... Early this morning, we passed by the entrance of the catering department and heard several officials scolding our Du Yuanwailang,
Although Du Yuanwailang has only been in the host and guest department for a few days, he is like a brother to us. We share our difficulties and share our blessings. Everyone in the host and guest department admires him very much. When we heard people from the catering department scolding him, we were angry.
However, we just stepped forward to argue for a few words, but little did we know that the dining department, taking advantage of the large number of people, suddenly rushed out with more than 30 people, dragged us in, and started attacking us whenever we disagreed. Although we resisted vigorously, we were outnumbered and were beaten.
It looks like this...wow..."
Zhu Ping howled loudly.
Other officials in the Host and Guest Department also burst into tears.
For a time, there was a group of people crying in the courtyard of the dining room.
The scene in front of me can make anyone cry when they hear the sadness.
Even Chen Shuda, who had always been at odds with Du He, couldn't stand it anymore.
He turned around, kicked Ma Tianyu hard, and said angrily: "Ma Tianyu, you are so brave. Not only did you beat your colleagues, but you also brought so many people with you. Do you want to rebel?"
Ma Tianyu was completely confused: "I, I, my lord, I..."
Li Eryi waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "Ma Tianyu, you are so audacious, why don't you get out of here, come on, Ma Tianyu allowed his subordinates to beat up his colleagues, his nature is bad, he will sit back and think about it for a month, and he will be fined for one year. If he does it again in the future, he will be fined for one year."
I will never forgive him, and everyone in the dining department will be fined three months' salary."
After saying that, Li Er waved his sleeves and left quickly without waiting for everyone to react.
Chen Shuda pointed at Ma Tianyu and said with hatred: "You, you, will cause me trouble!"
Chen Shuda hurriedly chased out, caught up with Li Er, and asked: "Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty of lax discipline. Please forgive me."
Li Er raised his hand and said: "Okay, Chen Aiqing, this is all a bold act of the Ministry of Food and Drink and has nothing to do with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, what do you think about the selection of officials as host and guests?" Chen Shuda asked tentatively.
Li Er's face suddenly turned ugly, and he walked forward without looking back: "Chen Aiqing, if you keep talking about the host and guests in front of me, you will definitely not listen to Du He. Du He will be unable to move in the host and guest department.
Therefore, it is imperative to select an official to serve as the host and guest doctor. But in reality, have you seen those fifteen people? They are all officials of the host and guest department. They support Du He very much and even want to maintain Du He's reputation.
, are you willing to be beaten like that? Tell me, they don’t like Du He?”
"I……"
"Okay, don't ever mention this again."
"I……"
Chen Shuda chased after him, but was stopped by Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang advised: "Master Chen, your Majesty is very angry right now, so you'd better not get into trouble."
Seeing Li Er leave, Chen Shuda turned around angrily and punched the pillar: "Ma Tianyu, you are a guy who fails to succeed but fails to succeed, you ruined my good deeds!"
Chen Shuda knew that after this incident, it was no longer possible for His Majesty to select officials to serve as host and guest doctors to check and balance Du He.
"well!"
…
Meng Mansion.
Meng Xianzong was neatly dressed and arranging his clothes.
"Hahaha, God is really helping me!"
"Du He actually sent people to the dining room and beat him up and down. Your Majesty must have known about this... Du He is really brave."
"When Your Majesty gets angry, he might be dismissed from his position as Host and Guest Officer. When the time comes, my opportunity will come. There is no one in the Host and Guest Office who is more qualified than me to be the Host and Guest Officer.
