After leaving the courtyard gate, he heard several anxious calls coming from the courtyard behind him. Zhu Tingfang smiled suddenly, and then smiled at the two guards and a middle-aged man who had been guarding the courtyard gate before: "It seems that Kong
The bachelor was so angry at the unscrupulous slaves in his family that he turned around and immediately went to the Taiyuan Hospital alone. Regardless of whether he was the envoy or the judge, he called a good Xinglin expert to come over!"
Commander Ma Silu, the commander of the Xicheng soldiers who followed, had just watched the entire confrontation between Zhu Tingfang and Confucius University at the entrance of the courtyard. He witnessed the crowds and the crowds made the cabinet university soldier angry. Now he may have some old habits.
He was admired and frightened at the same time. However, now it was not a question of whether he should get off the Zhu family ship, but... he couldn't get off the ship at all!
Because of the continuous arrests last night, Zhu Tingfang claimed to be acting on orders, and now he came to see Mr. Kong Jiu, even if it was more of a demonstration... But what if this was also the emperor's order?
Therefore, when Commander Lu saw the awe-inspiring look of the two guards, he quickly followed Zhu Tingfang, who was walking out, but he kept complimenting his wise and powerful command last night. Although in the past, such flattery was usually done by others.
Zhu Tingfang didn't get a good look from Zhu Tingfang, but today his immediate boss was obviously in a good mood and actually laughed twice.
"What a wise and powerful person. I have been sorting out the people inside and outside the capital these days. I have long known which people the eldest prince had the most frequent contacts with during his time in the capital. I have sent people to keep an eye on them all."
With the news of the second prince's shipwreck, how could Zhu Tingfang not be wary of the eldest prince taking the opportunity to take action? After all, none of the mother and son are smart. If you use the thinking of a normal smart person to measure them, it will definitely be a big mistake.
Wrong! It’s just that he didn’t expect that even if the eldest prince is not a smart person, there are so many people who are not smart people!
Walking out of the east corner gate of the Confucius Mansion, Zhu Tingfang saw the guards waiting here leading their horses to greet him. He took the reins and jumped on the horse, then slowly rode the horse forward and nodded slightly to the dozens of people who had just come with him:
"Everyone deserves credit for their hard work last night. I will naturally ask the emperor for your credit at court this morning."
At this point, when he heard the guards behind him whispering about the two slaves and gold beads and other items that had been detained, he said with an indifferent expression: "First take all the people and things back to the Xicheng Military and Horse Division. After interrogation, we will
Let’s make a decision immediately and don’t bother the Shuntian government office anymore. Why should Song Tuiguan, who has been working so hard lately, bother with such a lawsuit that is so easy to decide?”
He suddenly paused and glanced sideways to see Commander Lu next to him. He said calmly: "As for the captured things, count them for me and give half of them to reward me. The Kong family is incapable of running their own business.
After we get rid of those people who turn their backs on their masters and betray their slaves, but still have to work as soldiers and horses, everyone deserves this."
He did not say this to Commander Lu in private, but in front of everyone. For a moment, countless people from top to bottom showed happy expressions.
Zhu Tingfang is indeed a strict person, but there is one more thing, that is, he is generous! In the previous clean-ups inside and outside the capital, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division also ransacked properties, and anyone who tried to entrap them would be extremely severely punished.
Therefore, after several rounds of disposal, one-third of the people were replaced. And all those with clean hands and feet were recorded one by one.
It is said that Zhu Tingfang asked the emperor for instructions, and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division issued additional bonuses based on performance. As for where the money came from, it is said that part of the money came from a series of house raids, and the rest was lost to the treasury. Of course, Zhu Tingfang would never
Admit it. The cold wind last night was indeed very hard, but since there was something gained, of course no one felt it was hard! As for the money brought out by the servants in Chao Pavilion's hometown, Zhu Tingfang used it for personal use.
Whether it is appropriate or inappropriate... no one cares at this moment.
After saying these words, after returning to the Xicheng Military and Horse Division, leaving two guards around him to assist in the inventory, Zhu Tingfang hurried back to the straight room to change clothes, and then rushed to Donghua Gate. When preparing to impeach the Kong brothers
, and he was also prepared to be impeached.
In this cold weather, going to court is naturally a hard job. At this time, there are not many low-level officials who are curling up their hands and stomping their feet to keep warm. Therefore, many officials are whispering to each other when they see Zhu Tingfang, who is wearing a gorgeous dress and a famous horse.
, Yin Xian yearns for many, fears and fears many, and hates and disgusts even more.
However, Zhu Tingfang had long been accustomed to this kind of sight, and he just regarded it as ordinary at this time. He quickly found the circle he was most familiar with, but only saw his father Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing talking and laughing with Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan, a little distance apart
, Uncle Xiangyang was very happy with him. So, he did not go to his father and others first, but went straight to Uncle Xiangyang.
"Why are you laughing at me, Shibo?"
"I laugh when you appear now, you are more evil than your father! Look at these guys, aren't they avoiding you like the god of plague? Your father has been fighting on the battlefield for most of his life to gain the majesty and evil he is now. How old are you, in the future?
What's the big deal? I'm happy to see the joke. It will be interesting if your father can't suppress your son in the future!"
Even though Zhu Tingfang knew that Uncle Xiangyang was the most direct and the most irritable of the three brothers in the Zhang family, he would never think of any trouble coming out of his mouth, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But immediately after, he saw the other party smiling at him again: "You are going to be the groom's official now, but you don't know how to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and you are still killing and killing. I received the invitation from your house. I originally wanted to
I’m considering whether to go or not, but because of your fearless temper, I’ll give you a glass of water and wine!”
"But I agreed in advance that there will be no gifts! There was a thief in my house last night, and almost everything was stolen!"
"You are still an earl after all, and your achievements are shining brightly, but you even want to begrudge a few gifts? You were stolen, how could I hear that the thief was captured in an instant?" Zhu Jing came over quietly, and after asking a question with a half-smile, he saw
Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong glared at him, and then just stared at the sky and ignored him. He didn't care about this bastard, and the father and son immediately went to the side to talk.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Qiong thought that although his eldest son was quite promising, he was far behind the Qilin'er from Duke Zhao's Mansion. Not to mention him, even his eldest brother, the few from the Duke of Chu's Mansion, were far behind.
Likewise, he couldn't help but feel a little envious, lowered his head and sighed. But while he was distracted, he suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice coming from behind.
"Why is Uncle Xiangyang standing here alone?"
Zhang Qiong, who had not yet had time to raise his head, saw that the man was dressed like a civil servant, and thought that a civil servant would come to pick up a general like him. But when he raised his head, he saw Zhang Shou in front of him, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
Eyes: "What are you doing here? Aren't you going to attend the morning ceremony?"
Even if I really don't go to the morning court, you are the only one who would ask such a straightforward question! Zhang Shou just walked all the way and was treated with collective attention, but others were just surprised, surprised, puzzled and even hostile, plus he didn't.
Several close official colleagues, senior brother Chen Shangshu and a few acquaintances have not come yet, so Uncle Xiangyang's words can be said to have cleared up the doubts in others' minds.
He could only shrug and said: "Uncle Xiangyang, if you ask me this...who should I ask? I slept until early in the morning, and then I knew that something happened at home, but I didn't fully understand what was going on next.
As for the cook, someone from the palace summoned me to come to court!"
As soon as Zhang Shou finished speaking, he saw Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, father and son not far away, looking towards him, as if they were a little surprised by his arrival. But then, he discovered that his future father-in-law and uncle
Brother's eyes seemed to be behind him.
He immediately turned around and saw that it was Chief Yue Shan and Chief Xu Shan who came hand in hand. They were all wearing robes specially given by the lecturers of the East Palace. At first glance, they were not much different from his robes at this time.
——After all, even if they had no rank in the first place, in order to show their respect for Master Donggong, the emperor specially granted fifth-grade uniforms to all lecturers.
In Zhu Ying's words, it means that he suffered a loss after working hard to get promoted. But Zhang Shou couldn't figure it out, and he went straight to the fifth rank in more than a year. If he said that he worked hard to get promoted, what else would he have to endure?
What does an official with more than ten years mean to him?
After all, they were colleagues, and these three were not stubborn like Chief Hong Shan. Zhang Shou stepped forward and said hello with a smile. After asking, he learned that, like himself, they had also been specially summoned by the emperor.
He was shocked when he heard that someone had invaded Yashe last night, and one person was killed, five were captured, and two escaped.
If the guy behind the scenes who sent people to try to invade Tiangongfang from the charity hall owned by Si Lijian had some brains, then he sent people to invade the place where the three mountain chiefs and several respected old scholars of astronomy and mathematics were located.
The purpose of this is really puzzling. What is the purpose of this?
Seeing Zhang Shou's expression, Chief Yue Shan asked tentatively: "Could it be that Bachelor Zhang's home was also attacked?"
Before Zhang Shou could answer, someone behind him said: "Not only Bachelor Zhang, but also Duke Zhao's Mansion, Duke Duke's Mansion Qin, Xiang Yang Bo's Mansion, Weinan Bo's Mansion... Mr. Wu Ge and Bachelor Zhang also had thieves. Okay.
They have all been repulsed now. In short, these thieves are like headless flies, bumping into them wherever they go."
Hearing Zhu Tingfang's voice, Zhang Shouxiao had to turn around and say hello with a smile. After Zhu Tingfang returned the greeting, he smiled and bowed his hands to Chief Yue Shan and the other three, and then said nonchalantly: "The funniest thing is that I met a naughty man."
The thief who carried out the assassination with a crossbow actually spread a rumor on the street that I was seriously injured and dying, and the person who spread the rumor the most was Dr. Kong of Taichang Temple."
"However, the origins of most of these thieves have been found out, so last night there was a lot of horse racing in the capital. I just made a special trip to the Confucius Mansion. Some servants in the Confucius Mansion actually thought that I was going to raise an army to investigate crimes, and actually implicated Kong.
The family's belongings escaped. They abandoned their master and fled before he could be questioned. This kind of servant is simply laughable."
Originally, some people wanted to question Zhu Tingfang, but when they heard the word Confucius, they guessed that Zhu Tingfang was talking about a bachelor of Confucius. And when they heard the progress of the matter, most people immediately backed down.
Why are you provoking this evil star? No one has come here yet, but the family joke is about to spread. Isn’t this just making you feel uncomfortable?
Zhang Shou really wanted to ask Zhu Tingfang about the specific details. After all, it was a very happy thing for him to hear about the unlucky academician of Confucius University. However, after a while, someone came over and clapped his hands to announce it. He had to return his own with Chief Yue Shan and others first.
The train. When the train entered the Donghua Gate and arranged to go to court, it was really cold when the cold wind blew over me while I was warming up.
It’s no wonder that when the founder of the country restored the old system to the Tang Dynasty, not every official had to go to court early every day. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, it was better not to go to court in the Ming Dynasty and only say three things, which was purely a performance. Moreover,
Going to court in the middle of winter, often in the open air, is simply a waste of time and energy for the monarch and his ministers to seek abuse together!
Although the general agenda of today's morning court has been decided, no more than three things can be added at the end, and the ministers can debate it. This is like bringing scenes from movies and TV dramas into reality, so although it is tiring, it is
At least it's not that boring anymore.
So, after the etiquette of a routine story, when several major events that had been decided long ago were publicly announced to the court, the emperor threw out the series of events from day to night yesterday. This time, it was like beating a chicken.
There were more than one or two people who were as high-spirited as blood. Especially the censor who came out to narrate the events of last night. He was literally weeping blood and heartbroken.
But Zhang Shou was really irritated and speechless for these people who liked to talk in parallel prose even when they were talking to the court. Fortunately, he now gave people the impression that he was proficient in arithmetic and not much else, so he saw people whispering to each other.
Quite a few, he took the opportunity to drag Yue Shanchang aside and asked: "What was that series of gorgeous parallel prose just now saying?"
Seeing Zhang Shou's direct question, Yue Shanchang was not afraid of his own laughter. He didn't know whether he should be happy or smile bitterly at Zhang Shou's open-minded attitude.
But now he had thought clearly and knew that it would be a bad idea to quarrel with Zhang Shou rashly, so he thought about it briefly and said with a smile: "He is accusing his uncle of making arbitrary decisions, ignoring the censor who patrols the city, and not following the system.
And that paraphrase... well, it just uses certain animals as an analogy, and the allusions are relatively obscure. Bachelor Zhang, you don't need to belittle yourself, you can see that many people have blank faces."
Seeing the frowning expressions of many noble and military ministers opposite, and even some of the civil servants looking impatient, Zhang Shou suddenly laughed. A teacher can do this kind of thing like dropping a school bag, but when the Golden Palace is right,
It would be ridiculous for a censor to do such a thing.
Sure enough, before he finished speaking as if he was reciting a memorial, the emperor had already slapped the handrail twice: "Okay, no need to show off your literary talent! The censor patrolling the city was an old system, but in previous years, he supervised the soldiers and horses of the five cities.
Si Shi, but I didn’t see much improvement in the security of the inner and outer cities. I also heard that no one wanted to clean up the inner and outer parts of the capital and restore a peaceful world. However, the result was that the censors patrolling the city and the military commanders constrained each other instead of complementing each other?
"
Seeing that the censor who had just spoken out his words suddenly looked miserable, the emperor said decisively: "In the future, the Procuratorate of the city will have a dedicated place to work in a separate office with the commander of the Military and Horse Department, so as not to interfere with each other. The censor of the city will only be responsible for
Supervise, if there are any oversights in the command of the soldiers and horses, they will be impeached again. As for this time, Zhu Tingfang will be remembered for his fault, and he will be rewarded for last night's credit!"
Having settled the dispute with a final word, the emperor changed his words and said: "Several lecturers in the East Palace are said to have been frightened last night, so I specially summoned you to the palace for questioning. Has anyone met the thief face to face?"
