Chapter 32 The Judgment of the Dead
In the Bifu Courtyard, Steward Zhu was looking at the pile of worship posts in front of him with a sad face, and muttered to himself: "Wei Ninghou's post, Lord Zhao's post from the Ministry of Officials, and this, the worship post of the Lord of Yunyang County, and the Boss Xiong of the Ministry of Rites, this, how to tell the immortal chief." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
As one of the royal assets, the housekeeper is naturally surnamed Zhu, logically speaking, the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the housekeeper of this country, naturally does not know how majestic it is, which official in the court dares not to give face, but in recent days, he always feels that his hair seems to be a few more gray.
Although his face is very big, but the face of the visitors is even greater, the invitations of top relatives, first-class ministers, and even the palace are endless, especially the one who seems to be iron-hearted to reject all foreign guests, he is caught in the middle, angry at both ends, and it is simply miserable.
'No matter, if you are teased by the Taoist Chief's spell, you have to send these posts up, so as not to get the end and become yourself knowing and not reporting it, then the responsibility will be great. β
Steward Zhu put the thick post on his chest, then walked to the backyard, entered the door, and saw that the Qingcheng Taoist was leisurely sipping tea, and the other hand was covered with the green book, his fingers beating, like plucking the strings, every time there was a flash of light, the book turned a page.
Seeing such a scene, Steward Zhu's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of awe, gritted his teeth, and bowed forward, saying: "Immortal Li, this is the greeting post sent to you by a faceless figure in the capital in the past three daysββ"
"Hmm, didn't Poor Dao say that he has been recuperating his body and mind recently, and he doesn't accept all outsiders?"
Swept away by the other party's faint eyes, Steward Zhu's legs were weak, and he was about to fall to the ground immediately, that majesty, he didn't feel it in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
It's just that if you don't say it now, you won't dare to say it in the future, the housekeeper lowered his head and said tremblingly: "I really don't hide it from Immortal Li, the villain knows that the immortal you have reconciled your temperament recently and don't get dirty, but there are some characters here, some relationships, the villain thinks it's better to talk about it, after all, if you don't know, even if you are a fairy, I am afraid that there will be some obstacles." β
"Oh?" Daoist Li glanced at the other party again, showing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Then you can talk about it, I'll listen." β
The housekeeper only felt that the heavy mountain pressure on his back was finally removed, and there was a feeling of escaping death, not only was his underwear wet, but there was also a trace of urine.
After settling his mind, Steward Zhu said: "If you go back to your lordship, other officials and royal relatives will be enough, there are only three characters, if the gods are free, you might as well meet them." β
"Oh, which three?"
"The first one is this palm seal eunuch Father-in-law Qian, who is His Majesty's most important cronies, and is also the commander of the twelve divisions of this series, under one person, above ten thousand, supervising hundreds of officials, pouring power, especially since the death of the arresting marquis, there is no opponent. β
"Qian Dingguo," in Daoist Li's head, he recalled the words of Eunuch Cao: "Qian Dingguo, whose real name is Qian Chuanzi, entered the palace ten years later than the miscellaneous family, and was a person from King Hong's mansion at the beginning, and later King Hong ascended the throne and became His Majesty today, he naturally rose to the top, and when the abolished queen was still in power, even if it was a miscellaneous family, he had to kowtow to this guy." β
He had a very close relationship with the abolished queen back then, and he had made it difficult for the miscellaneous family several times, but good and evil were rewarded, when the witch Gu case broke out, the queen was deposed, and our Shude Niangniang took the throne, and he was also involved and became the errand runner of the miscellaneous family, if it weren't for the kindness of the mother, he was dissuaded many times, how did he treat the miscellaneous family at the beginning, and the miscellaneous family really wanted him to taste it. β
This person is a well-known smiling tiger, and his heart is extremely forbearing, after suffering a big loss in the witch Gu case, he is not as arrogant and domineering as before, I heard that he also believes in Buddhism, but according to the ideas of the miscellaneous family, it is just the appearance, if the Taoist chief sees the other party, it is just a matter of being false and wronged with him, but no matter what he says, he must not believe it. β
"And he is deeply favored by His Majesty the Emperor, so many people died in the witch Gu case back then, only he can save it, that's the reason......;
"I don't know what it meansβ" Manager Zhu asked cautiously.
"Why, just because of his power, Poor Dao should go to see a eunuch?" asked Daoist Li rhetorically.
"No, no, no, that's not what the villain meant," Steward Zhu looked left and right, and then added in a low voice: "That father-in-law Qian is an internal official, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring, if it is really for himself, how can he meet the Taoist chief in a grand manner, nine times out of ten, it is the above meaning." β
The top of the big eunuch, except for the emperor, there will be no one else, this is only five days in Beijing, the old emperor's invitation has been sent twice, it seems that for the 'divine pill' in his hand, the other party is determined to win.
Since this is the case, there is no need to meet the other party, and the appetite of fishing for that old dragon is also excellent, after all, some things are not something that can be said with high mana, they need to be traded and chips, and their own unwarranted 'divine pill' is the best trading item.
Seeing this Li Shenxian shaking his head, Steward Zhu knew that the other party was not going to see this big eunuch, so he hurriedly said: "There is another one, which is the elder of the two dynasties, the former Taishi, the crown prince Shaobao, the scholar of Lingxiao Pavilion, and the old man Hu Wenlin Hu who is nicknamed 'Wenzheng'. β
"Is that the Lord Hu who is the king of nonsense?"
"It's him. β
This Hu Wenlin is not what the old eunuch said, in fact, even a folk person like a Taoist priest has heard of the other party's extremely high reputation, after all, there is an old guy with the same name as him, and he is even more familiar.
Hu Shu Wang Judgment, in fact, said that the two famous ministers under the account of the first emperor back then, Hu Xuan is this Hu Wenlin, known as a delicate heart, counting all the things in the world, as for this Wang Xuan, it is the king who has a broken head, that is, the iron-faced ruthless, often pits Taoists, but has a beautiful daughter.
However, compared to Lao Wang, who still exerts his residual heat in the court, this Lao Hu has been a eunuch as early as the current emperor has become an adult, and he has lived a chic life, boating on the river, enjoying flowers and beauty, and living a retired life is simply not too happy.
But don't think that this old Hu is retired, it has no effect, in fact, this can be said to be all over the world, officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers of the six departments, three of which are his former students, compared with the two, Lao Wang in this regard, but it is too much worse.
Daoist Li tapped his fingers, took the other party's post and looked at it, and it was a little clear that this old official should have heard that he had a divine pill from somewhere, and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
"Forget it, Poor Dao doesn't want to participate in the affairs of the court. β
The main purpose of the Taoist priest coming to Beijing is to avenge the arrest of the marquis, and the secondary purpose is to keep the six doors from being left and keep his current status.
"And there is this Yunyang County Lord......"
"Master, they're finally back!" Cao Mian appeared at the door with a cry like a yellow bird, "People know where the thief is!"
"What, I found it?" Daoist Li blinked, a little incredible, this Chang'an City has so many people, if you want to find a thief among them, even if it is him, it will take a lot of hands and feet, just rely on this little puppet girl with waste wood!?
As soon as Cao Mianmian wanted to speak, he saw Steward Zhu next to him, and immediately snorted, "You go out first, I have some private things to tell Master, and I can't tell you about this outsider." β
When Steward Zhu heard this, he had to smile helplessly and bowed to leave.
"Master~~"
"Keep your distance, pull and pull, like something!" Daoist Li looked at the other party vigilantly, he didn't really want to catch the thief, he just wanted to send this little puppet girl out for a few days, otherwise what if Master Yi was harassed by the other party and was bent.
"You said you found the thief's nest, where is it?"
"It's on a very tall mansion, even the plaque is painted with purple paint, by the way, the owner of that house is an old man, as if others call him Hu Taishi. β
"Master Hu," Daoist Li looked at the invitation for Hu Wenlin's eightieth birthday, and suddenly felt that there should be so many coincidences in this world.
