"This is a high-ranking official from the imperial court. Why did he suddenly squeeze in from behind?"
"It seems that he should be older than the official in purple on the stage. Otherwise, how dare he accuse so casually."
"Official officials? You don't know, who in our Ming Dynasty dares to wear purple clothes? He can stand on the execution platform wearing purple clothes, it must be a gift from the emperor, who is older and who is younger is not sure."
"Hey, what are we arguing about? Which one of them is older and which one is younger has nothing to do with us?"
"That's right, look, they have already started arguing. You will know who is older and who is younger after a while."
"..."
The officials who came out of the court at the farthest end also had various states of mind at the moment.
Someone who has a good relationship with Cangcheng, the Minister of Rites, looks anxious at this moment.
Although Cangcheng has always been upright and likes to accuse others of their faults in person, at this moment, he is facing a Qilin Ziyi given by the emperor, who is a case-handling school lieutenant in Dongchang.
As a Dongchang school lieutenant who often handles cases on the front line, he does not have the patience as a North Korean civil servant, nor does he have such good training to keep silent.
At this moment, they just hope that Xiao Chen is a rare flower among the captains of Dongchang and is not so bloodthirsty.
Others, on the other hand, watched the fun with gloating.
Because Cangcheng was too upright, he offended many people in the court. The most important point was that he never flexed his will and always had to go above and beyond in everything he did.
I am very upright and upright, but everything remains on paper.
There was a disaster in Hunan, and the imperial court allocated special personnel and funds to provide relief. Because a document was not in place, I happened to meet Cang Cheng and was detained by him for three days.
After three days, the number of victims in Hunan had increased fivefold.
Both the ministers of the court and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty were quite dissatisfied with this matter.
However, according to the procedures, Cangcheng did nothing wrong. Although the area and number of people affected by the disaster increased sharply, no one could find a reason to target him.
Afterwards, Cangcheng didn't even realize his mistake, but instead propagated everywhere that he acted according to the rules, as it should be.
Seeing that he actually challenged the Dongchang captain who was wearing Ming Dynasty purple clothes in public, most of the officials who were about to leave also stopped, wanting to see if this thin-looking young man was really worthy of the imperial gift of Kirin purple clothes.
"I am the Minister of Etiquette of the imperial court. You are wearing purple clothes and delivering wine to death row prisoners. How can you be worthy of the purple clothes you are wearing and the trust of the imperial court?"
Cangcheng in the audience looked righteous and spoke plausibly.
"Oh, it turns out it's Lord Shangshucang of the Ministry of Rites. He's Xiao Chen, the 13th military commander in the Lower East Factory." Xiao Chen raised his hand in an official salute.
"Hmph, you are really a warrior who doesn't know the court etiquette in public." Cang Cheng turned his back, his face full of contempt.
Hearing the other party call him a martial artist, the smile on Xiao Chen's face became even thicker.
He walked to the side stairs of the execution platform, and under the gaze of everyone, slowly walked down and came to Cangcheng's side.
"Master Cang, as a second-rank official of the imperial court, it is a bit inappropriate for me to talk to you from a high position. I am just a rough person when it comes to court etiquette. Why don't you come up to the stage and explain it to me." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"As the Minister of Etiquette of the imperial court, I'm still worried about you. Regarding etiquette, I can say that you will be convinced." Cangcheng snorted coldly and walked towards the stairs of the execution platform.
He threw back his wide sleeves and tried his best to straighten his waist, making himself look more like a fairy. He slowly walked onto the execution platform.
Xiao Chen followed behind, his face full of respect.
"Alas, even though this man is wearing purple clothes, he is still not as powerful as this old man."
"Needless to say, just look at his respectful look."
"It doesn't matter to us who is older or younger, we can just wait and see how to kill him."
As Cangcheng came on stage, the crowd began to commotion again.
In the distance, the group of officials from the DPRK and the Central Government who stopped to watch were also talking about it.
"I thought he was really a sharp sword that could cut heaven and earth. It turns out that he is also a person who likes to follow people's influence. It's a pity that he wears the purple unicorn gifted by the emperor."
"You are just a martial artist who doesn't understand how domineering Qilin Ziyi is."
"You are still too young and not as cruel as that old man Liao Xianghe."
"Let's go, let's not look anymore. The emperor's purple clothes from the Ming Dynasty were given to him by Bai Yu."
"..."
Even those who had a good relationship with Cangcheng breathed a sigh of relief and let go of their worries.
Just when the officials were about to leave, the words of Hong Tianren, Minister of the Ministry of War, stopped everyone in their tracks.
"During the Ming Dynasty, who did the emperor bestow upon you the unicorn and purple clothes? I feel that Cang Cheng's old life may be ruined on this Meridian Gate execution platform today."
An old man wearing a third-grade court uniform turned to look at Hong Tianren: "Master Hong, is this really possible?"
Hong Tianren smiled faintly: "Anyway, we have already gone to court. Let's wait and see."
Just when everyone was paying attention to Cangcheng's fate, Cangcheng himself on the execution platform turned back to look at the young captain in purple in front of him.
Cangcheng was quite satisfied with the other party's respectful attitude.
Nodding, Cangcheng said in a condescending tone: "An ordinary school captain in Dongchang, how virtuous and capable, actually asked the emperor to give him unicorn purple clothes. When I saw it today, it turned out to be very ordinary. I will go to court tomorrow.
I must report to the emperor again and take back my order."
"Yes, yes," Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Actually, from the beginning, I refused the emperor's gift of Ming Dynasty purple clothes. Especially this unicorn purple clothes, wearing it is too eye-catching, which is not conducive for me to go out to handle cases.
"
"It's good to know that purple is the royal color of the emperor. It's not the turn of a small captain to equalize the situation." Cangcheng put his left hand on his back and touched his beard with his right hand, as if giving a lesson to the younger generation.
"What Mr. Cang said is absolutely true. I am just a rough man who can only dance with a spear and a stick. Although I know that I am not worthy of this purple dress, it is hard to disobey the holy orders. The emperor gave me the gift, so I can't disobey the holy will.
"Xiao Chen always had a trace of humility on his face.
Liao Xianghe on the side looked at Cang Cheng with sympathy on his face.
He fully understands how thoughtful Xiao Chen is. At this moment, he is just pretending to be crazy and acting stupid to cater to Cang Cheng. This Cang Cheng is not going to die soon.
The ministers in the distance also frowned when they saw this scene.
As if he felt that he had taught him enough lessons, Cangcheng looked at the superior execution platform: "Where is the execution officer? Shouldn't this person be killed?"
Xiao Chen pointed to his nose and smiled: "Master Cang, I am the supervisor today."
"You? If you haven't ordered the execution yet, what are you waiting for?" Cangcheng said coldly.
Xiao Chen turned towards Duan Tianming on the execution platform, and Du Shaoqin shouted: "Take Liao Xianghe down and wait for the emperor to make a new decision."
"No more? Do you have this power?" Cang Cheng put his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao Chen like a fool.
"Look, sir," Xiao Chen pointed at the sun above his head and said with a smile, "You rushed into the execution ground and it has already passed the time to kill the prisoner."
