Chapter 177: Yan Guikai

Lelin asked, "What are you thinking?"

Chai Jue replied: "I think it's a pity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"You don't have to feel sorry for me," Le Lin misunderstood what he meant, and smiled to herself: "I know that those "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites" are all excellent classics. However, no matter how delicious the braised pork stewed vermicelli is, I can't eat it if it's greasy, and if I can't read it, I just can't read it. ”

My friend calmly compared the Confucian classics to braised pork and stewed vermicelli, which is really rebellious.

However, instead of being annoyed, Chai Jue laughed happily: "I'm not sorry for you. ”

"And what do you have a pity?"

"I feel sorry for those who don't understand you. ”

"Huh?"

"They simply don't know what they're missing. ”

Chai Jue's eyebrows moved slightly, and the gurgling smile on his face seemed to blend into the breeze.

At this moment, Le Lin suddenly felt a feeling of bathing in the spring light.

Why do you feel hot when there is no charcoal fire in the car?

She coughed lightly, and was about to say something when the carriage stopped.

Chai Jue lifted the curtain and found that the position in front of him near Bianqiao was surrounded by several crowds, blocking the only road leading to Suzaku Street.

"Rhubarb?"

Le Lin also asked aloud, "What happened?"

Da Huang, who was driving the carriage, turned around and lifted the curtain of the inner car, and replied in a panic: "Master, there seems to be some dispute in the Yongyang porcelain shop in front, and I can't get by!"

"Ah, what then?"

"Get out of the car and take a walk," Chai Jue suggested, "Anyway, it's not too far from the Babao Teahouse." ”

"Hmm. ”

……

A gust of wind blew, and the leafless branches on both sides of the road rustled.

If it is in the wilderness, it may make people feel desolate and desolate.

But this is Bianjing.

Ge Mincai looked at the crowd in front of him that was tightly surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and sighed deeply.

Different from the general regular square market system of the Chang'an chessboard in the Tang Dynasty, although Bianjing retains the two cities of the east and west, it has a solid street and lane system.

The ban on not opening the door on the street has been abolished in the Taizu Dynasty.

Nowadays, there are many shops on both sides of the street, and there is no longer a fixed market, and you can do business and trade on the street, on the bridge, and in the alley.

There are also descriptions in the travelogues of some literati and chivalrous scholars: "The capital is slightly larger, and there is nothing in the world." With its vast population, it does not add more than 100,000 people, and does not feel less less. The so-called flower array wine pool, fragrant mountains and seas. There are no secluded alleys, Yanguan Song Building, there are tens of thousands, and you don't want to be broken. ”

Along with the prosperity, there is also the trouble of "encroaching on the street".

Compared with the wide streets of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, the streets of Bianjing are much narrower, the main streets are only about ten zhang wide, and there are drainage ditches and trees on both sides of the road.

In order to attract customers, the shops lining the streets often "advance" into the middle of the road -- some residents violated the rule that they were not allowed to open their doors to the street, some residents opened their houses to the street, some residents dug holes in the walls and expanded their houses into the street, and some residents and military generals occupied the buildings of the former guard units on duty on the streets, and built and expanded them on a large scale.

In this way, coupled with the crowd of pedestrians, the congestion of the road can be imagined.

The officials in charge of the streets of Bianjing were the left and right street envoys and the imperial historians, and they also took many measures, such as forcibly demolishing the houses built illegally and improperly, punishing the officials involved in the case, etc., and at one time, there was a decree that "all those who invade the streets and alleys will be given 70 rods".

It's a pity that Bianjing is too big, and the street shops are dotted around. However, the left and right street envoys and the Yushitai had limited manpower, and although the punishment was harsh, it always had little effect.

……

These are all antecedents.

At this moment, the winter fog gradually dissipated, and a thin layer of hoarfrost condensed on the pine trees, like a white autumn chrysanthemum.

The breeze blew, and yellow needles fell.

That long sigh made Yan Gui on the side tremble and be frightened.

Yan Guikai is the new Rite Langzhong, and the person in front of him who sighed was his boss, Ge Mincai, the waiter of the Rite Department.

He cautiously asked, "Lord Ge, what should I do?"

Ge Mincai's frowning brows tightened more and more, his mouth seemed to be hung upside down by something, and the corners of his mouth fell down sharply, but he didn't make a sound.

"Great, sir?"

Yan Guikai's voice at this moment is not an exaggeration to describe it as trembling.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Ge Min said leisurely: "Yan Guikai, Yan Guikai, this official really overestimates you." ”

Yan Guikai is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites who has been promoted repeatedly, and he has only been in the Ministry of Rites for less than ten years, and the work in front of him is his first official job in the Ministry of Rites. Ge Mincai's words frightened him so much that his heart and liver were about to stop, and he said repeatedly: "Adults are angry, adults are angry!"

Ge Min didn't look at him, and said to himself: "It's just to accompany those few people on a tour, this can go wrong......"

He glanced sideways at Yan Gui, and snorted coldly: "Yan Langzhong is such a 'talent', our Ministry of Rites is really not blessed." ”

Yan Guikai was shocked and ashamed, his face flushed and his head lowered.

But I have heard that people who are terrified often lose their minds. He was silent for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became, and he couldn't help clenching his fists, gritting his teeth hard, as if he wanted to get out, and retorted in a low voice: "Accompanying the envoy of the Three Buddhas, this should have been your duty!"

"Oh?"

Ge Mincai looked at Yan Guikai with interest, and teased meaninglessly: "Yan Langzhong is not very capable, but he has a great temper." ”

After that, he thought about it, this matter was indeed his duty, if Yan Gui made trouble with Xu Shangshu, he would not be able to get out of the way.

So he instructed: "Order people to go into the crowd first, solve the matter of those few times, lose money when you should lose money, and apologize when you should apologize." Then send more men to disperse the onlookers. ”

"Xiaguan obeys the order!" Yan Guikai received a clear order, hurriedly agreed, and turned around to start preparing for this matter.

"Slow!"

Ge Min stopped him: "I haven't said the most important thing yetβ€”when the things here are all over, you remember to draft three books." ”

"Twist?" Yan Guikai was puzzled.

"One is a member of the left and right street envoys, one is a member of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and one is a ...... Participate in Kaifeng Prefecture. Ge Min snapped his fingers and counted.

"I don't know what the crime is involved?"

"There is no way to manage the security of the capital, and the people are connived at invading the streets and alleys, invading the Ququ as a house, and the people who pass the big cars are widowed, causing the envoys of the Three Buddhas to have disputes with the shopkeepers, the main thing is these, and you can add the rest of the details yourself. ”

Yan Guikai shook his head again and again and said, "My lord, today's accident is really the result of my Ministry of Rites taking poor care of the envoy, you ...... Isn't this a shirking of responsibility and blaming others?

"Hmm!"

Ge Mincai pursed his lips, put his hands on his waist, leaned in front of Yan Guikai, and stared at the other party's eyes.

"Shirk responsibility, blame others, and disagree?" he laughed and said, "Yan Langzhong is probably a newcomer, and he doesn't know the nickname of this official in the court, right?"

Yan Guikai couldn't get used to Ge Mincai's style, but at this time, he felt that he had offended him, and he didn't care about any more, he glared back at the other party and replied: "The lower official is lonely, and I don't know the truth." ”

"Hmph, the official is called ......"

Ge Min was about to say his nickname, but was interrupted by a voice.

- "The famous 'Ge Erhundred', Yan Langzhong has never heard of it, it shouldn't, it really shouldn't." ”

Ge and Yan looked back, and behind them were two young men with faces like crowns of jade and eyes like stars.
