Just as Yuwen Zhihe was about to enter the big "gate" of Liren City, several warriors blocked his way.
The person at the head was Qin Qiong, who was holding a whistle stick with eyebrows, his eyes looked at Yuwen Zhiji coldly, and he was followed by several of his brothers, Cheng Yanjin and Shan Xiongxin and others.
"Who dares to stop the uncle?" Yu Wenzhi and the horse whip pointed at Qin Qiong and scolded.
Today he took more than 100 family members, full of courage, whoever dared to provoke him, he would never tolerate mercy, a family member next to him recognized Qin Qiong, and whispered to him: "Childe, this person is the one who was rejected by him that night, when the master wanted to recognize him as a fake."
Yuwen Zhi and Long 'Oh! sighed, his eyes full of mockery, "Qin Qiong, do you regret it now?" ”
"I'm really the ghost of your Yuwen family?" Qin Qiong stared at him with angry eyes.
"That's right, that's right, you were supposed to take the first place in the exam, but my father didn't like it, and ordered the military department to cross out your name, how do you regret it?" Yuwen Zhihe laughed triumphantly.
"Today I want to seek justice, I want to smash your dog's head, and then go to the world to preach it, so that everyone in the world knows the Yuwen family who is corrupt and perverts the law!"
Yu Wenzhi was furious, and he waved his hand, "Beat me, kill these dog thieves!" ”
More than 100 family members rushed up, picked up the iron "stick" long knife and killed them, Shan Xiongxin and the others couldn't wait, they roared, threw off their arms, danced the whistle "stick" and roared to hit them, knocking over several people in the head.
At the same moment when they started, hundreds of martial arts candidates rushed out of the alleys around the square, holding all kinds of sticks and hoes, they were very cautious, no one took weapons, this is a 'degree', gathering people with weapons is rebellion, using sticks and sticks to beat people is making trouble, they gathered from all directions, and the martial arts were fraudulent and unfair, so that each of them was full of anger and hatred in their hearts, they were all tall and skilled in martial arts, and they made all the family members cry and call their mothers, as if headless flies scattered and fled.
Yuwen Zhihe was scared in his heart, he turned his horse's head to escape, at this moment, Qin Qiong jumped up high, and hit him with a "stick", Yuwen Zhihe couldn't dodge, and was hit on the forehead by a "stick", he screamed, turned over and fell off the horse, and more than a dozen big men rushed up, pressing him to the ground and punching and kicking.
Qin Qiong saw that Yu Wenzhi had been beaten to death, he waved his hand to stop everyone, and shouted to everyone: "The martial arts are unfair, let's go to the military department to ask for an explanation!" ”
Everyone responded in unison, throwing down the sticks and sticks, and hundreds of people went towards the Suzaku Gate.
.........
Let's push forward the clock another hour, the sky is still full of stars, and the stars are like brilliant gems on the velvety dark blue canopy.
The low and huge sound of the bell echoed over the capital, and in the bell were horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, and countless officials on horseback converged on Suzaku Street from all directions, and the orange lanterns hanging on the wheels were like floating lights, reflecting the starry sky.
This is a unique scene in the capital, every day the sky is not bright, accompanied by the low bell, thousands of courtiers will leave home to go to the court, the time of the court will generally be very early, the sky is not bright, the court meeting will be held at the moment, so as to ensure that after the court meeting, the ministers can carry out normal official business, and will not delay the handling of government affairs because of the court meeting.
Yang Yuanqing is a local official in Beijing, although his rank has the qualification to go to the court, but he generally does not need to go to the court, if he wants to go to court like the Beijing official one day, he must apply to the palace supervisor in advance, and after approval, he will observe the court meeting as the viscount of Feihu County.
The sky is not bright, Yang Yuanqing also appeared in the Chengtian "Gate" square that has gathered thousands of courtiers, when it is early winter, the north wind is strong, the Chengtian "Gate" square is cold, all around is full of big lanterns, swaying in the wind, the square is illuminated as day, at this time the time of the court has not yet arrived, most of the officials are afraid of the cold, they all hide in the Chengtian "Gate" building, there are not many officials waiting for the court on the square, three or three twos, whispering about some interesting stories that have happened in the court recently.
At this time, in a place where officials gather, no one will talk about the rights and wrongs of the government affairs at will, and if there is an ear next to them and the political opponents listen to it, it will become an excuse for impeachment for 'arguing about the offense', and talking about the government is just something to do in the study and at the dinner table.
Yang Yuanqing was dressed in the four-grade scarlet court dress he had just received, wearing a gauze hat, standing in a corner of the square, boredly waiting for the court to start, and he almost didn't know the court officials around him, and he had no resources to talk about.
He was still thinking about what was going to happen today, the final trial of the martial arts list, yesterday morning when he went to the palace to apply for the qualification of the court, he got today's court agenda, the second of which is to review the list of martial arts, today, he needs to express his position in front of the courtiers, he is a little nervous in his heart.
"Yuanqing!"
Someone next to him called him, Yang Yuanqing turned around, and saw that it was Yang Zhao, the king of Yong, he was full of smiles, and he walked towards himself with a staggering step, looking like he had lost a little weight, he used to need help to walk, but today he was able to walk by himself, which was a gratifying progress, and the ministers next to him nodded and saluted.
Yang Yuanqing hurriedly bowed to him, "Your Highness!" ”
Yang Zhao pulled him and smiled: "How can you go to the court today?" ”
"I'm just listening to the court meeting and feeling the atmosphere of the court meeting before leaving."
"Oh! So when are you leaving Beijing? ”
"It is tentatively scheduled for the day after tomorrow, first go to Yingzhou, and then go back to Dali City directly."
Yang Zhao nodded and sighed: "You leave, I don't know when you will see you again." ”
"It shouldn't be too long, at most a year or two, and I will return to Beijing."
Yang Zhao glanced left and right, then pulled Yang Yuanqing along, walked to a secluded place next to him, and asked him in a low voice, "Is there any news about the assassin?" ”
Yang Yuanqing looked around, although they were standing in a secluded place, the minister next to him still secretly looked here, and he could see the jealousy in their eyes, Yang Zhao had been named King Yong, and was about to enter the East Palace, and it would really make many people uncomfortable to have such a close relationship with King Yong.
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I'm sorry Your Highness, the assassin disappeared without a trace, without a clue. ”
Yang Zhao also sighed, "It's true, it's really harder to find the assassin with only two arrows than to ascend to the sky, forget about this matter, I will be careful in the future, and I won't let anyone have a chance." ”
Yang Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you have any difficulties in Dali City, you can write a letter to me, and I will urge all departments to deliver supplies to you in a timely manner, as well as your family's affairs, don't become a burden, work well in the side plug, get promoted as soon as possible, and let those snobs regret it." ”
Yang Zhao's sincerity moved Yang Yuanqing a little in his heart, and he nodded silently, "Your Highness also has to take care of your health, I hope that next time I come back, I can accompany Your Highness to hunt." ”
"I now control the 'desire' of my mouth and stomach, regulate my body, you see, I have lost a lot of weight, my strength has also grown, and there is no problem in walking three hundred steps alone."
The two were talking, and a person suddenly appeared next to them, giving Yang Zhaoshen a salute, "Weichen see His Highness!" ”
As soon as the two turned around, it turned out to be the general Yu Wenshu, who was full of smiles, and only Yang Zhao, the king of Yong, was in his eyes, and he didn't look at Yang Yuanqing next to him.
"It turned out to be General Yuwen, looking at the appearance of the general, it seems that he has recently made a fortune again." Yang Zhao smiled as if jokingly.
Yu Wenshu smiled embarrassedly and said: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, the old minister lives on a little money, and his family is tight, where can he talk about making a fortune, hey!" The Beijing officials are poor, not as good as the magistrates, and those magistrates are full of money. ”
"General Yuwen has a tight life, but Ling Lang is very nourishing, two days ago in the restaurant in Liren City, I saw a group of people desperately stuffing money for Ling Lang, and said that Wuju took care of it, and the gold and silver shone my eyes on 'flowers'." Yang Yuanqing smiled lightly beside him.
Yuwen Shu's face changed, and he said sharply: "Who are you, and what do you mean by this?" ”
Although he had seen Yang Yuanqing in Yang Guang's imperial study, he had forgotten that at this moment, Yang Yuanqing revealed his son Wuju's bribery in front of King Yong, and his face couldn't hold it.
Yang Zhao was also secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Yang Yuanqing to speak so sharply, this kind of face-to-face exposure is a taboo in the relationship between courtiers! would offend Yu Wenshu, he hurriedly glanced at Yang Yuanqing and asked him not to say it again.
Yang Yuanqing didn't seem to see Yang Zhao's eyes, he still said lightly: "Did General Yuwen forget me?" More than two months ago, didn't General Yuwen send a general to tell King Han that I went to Youzhou to arrest Dou Kang and asked Yang Liang to intercept and kill me halfway. ”
Yu Wenshu took a step back in fright and stared at Yang Yuanqing deadly, "You are.... Yang Yuanqing? ”
"We've met, haven't we? Maybe it's because the generals and nobles forget things, but it doesn't matter, I think after today, the generals will remember me firmly, just as I have never forgotten the generals. ”
Yang Yuanqing's tone carried the threat of "naked" and "naked", which made Yu Wenshu's face "color" change several times, he didn't know what Yang Yuanqing wanted to do, but in front of Yang Zhao, he didn't dare to show weakness, he squinted his eyes and snorted, "General Yang, you are just a small town general, you slander me like this without evidence, but you are guilty!" I'll take a copy of you, you won't be able to eat and walk around, young man, you're still too tender. ”
He arched his hand to Yang Zhao, "Your Highness, this person slandered Weichen, I will seek justice from the Holy Lord, please don't believe his nonsense, Weichen will leave first." ”
He glared at Yang Yuanqing fiercely, turned around and left.
Yang Zhao shook his head and said to Yang Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, he is an important minister in the army, you shouldn't offend him like this." ”
Yang Yuanqing looked at Yu Wenshu's back and said coldly: "Your Highness, this person is corrupt and perverts the law, openly accepts bribes to sabotage martial arts, and seriously damages the reputation of the saint in the hearts of the warriors in the world, killing him is not enough to atone for his crimes, if I am afraid of him, who else in the world dares to tell the truth in front of the saint, I am not even afraid of King Qi, I will still be afraid of him?" ”
Yang Zhao secretly thought in his heart, 'Yuanqing's 'chest' is upright, not afraid of the powerful, courageous, he is a fierce general, and it is not bad that he will have such a right-hand man in the future. ’
He nodded, "I can understand your feelings, but some things must be evidenced, and if there is no evidence, you must not speak immediately, so as not to be framed by him biting you back." ”
"Your Highness, the minister understands!"
At this time, the bell of the Daxing Hall rang, echoing on the Chengtian "Gate" square, this is the bell of entering the hall, on the Chengtian "Gate" square, thousands of ministers quickly lined up according to the rank and the temple, along the high white "jade" steps, walked towards the main hall, the steps on both sides of the steps are full of warriors holding various weapons in front of the palace, all of them are burly, the helmets are bright, the momentum is mighty, the day after day of the court meeting, under the gaze of the "waiter" guard, officially kicked off.
