Chapter 43: The farce in the Ying Tianfu Yali
Ying Tianfu Yin Cao Jiahao is very irritable now.
As a magistrate at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Cao Jiahao's Mansion Yin has always been worried, not to mention that there are some high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, although he is the nominal highest administrative official in Ying Tiancheng, but no one can afford to provoke him, just say that anything that happens has to reach His Majesty's ears, he only has a life to blame, and his life is actually not as comfortable as a small county in other counties.
The murder at the mouth of Changle Lane last time almost ruined his career, but fortunately, the national teacher wiped his ass clean for him, and he survived the catastrophe, but now that the national teacher has returned to the sea of stars, if something happens in Yingtian City, will anyone stand up for him again?
The answer is naturally no, so Cao Jiahao's mood is so irritable now.
Looking at the two adults standing under the court, Cao Jiahao was really in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to do.
Ying Tiancheng did have a big incident today.
The carriage of the Ministry of Rites was hit by the carriage of the Ministry of Works.
Yingtiancheng is the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom, whether it is a building or a road, it is naturally the top grade of the Great Chu Kingdom, even if it is a crowded street, it is also extremely wide and open, and it is rare for cars and horses to collide, and it is so coincidental that the cars and horses of the two Shangshu adults collided.
Cao Jiahao was able to sit in the seat of Ying Tianfu Yin, and he sat for so many years, naturally he was not a fool, and he could guess with his toes that it must not be a coincidence, everyone knew in their hearts that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the little prince Zhao Tianming were very close, but the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was a person from the Great Prince's faction, and the carriage and horse of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu hit the carriage of the Lord of the Ministry of Rites, and it was obvious that the Great Prince wanted to start a war against the Three Princes.
However, even if he understands it in his heart, Cao Jiahao can only be confused with understanding, where can he really stab the window paper and pull out the bends behind him, not to mention that he can't afford to provoke any of the two Shangshu adults in the hall, just talking about the two princes above Shangshu, which of him Cao Jiahao dares to offend?
Therefore, after Shengtang saw that it was the two Shangshu adults who arrived in person, Cao Jiahao hurriedly got up and ordered three chairs to be handed to the left and right, so that the adults could sit down first, and he dared to sit on the court.
As for why there are three chairs, it is naturally because Cao Jiahao saw Lord Du Wenqi Du who was followed behind Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
Although I have already heard the master say the situation, in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Lord Cao Jiahao Cao still asked with a smile: "I don't know what gust of wind is blowing in Yingtian City today, why did it blow the three adults into my small mansion. ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Liu blew his beard angrily, pointed to the Ministry of Works, and said: "At noon today, the old man was sitting in the carriage, looking at the scenery on the side of the street, and as a result, the old boy's carriage collided, and the old man almost knocked out of the carriage and fell down the street! If the dignified Shangshu, a member of the imperial court, is knocked down on the street, it is still a trivial matter to be injured and the face of the imperial court is damaged, who will bear this sin?"
Master Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, spread his hands and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, you have also been an official for so many years, why are you still having this hot temper, there are people coming and going on the street, and there is no way to avoid a little collision, and you will hit your carriage, the old man has already said that he is sorry, and he has dismissed the groom who does not open his eyes, what do you want?"
"What else do I want?" Lord Liu's face turned red, and he pointed at Master Li and said to Cao Jiahao in the hall: "Lord Cao, you come to judge the theory, is he Li Erhe an attitude of apology?"
"Forehead......" Cao Jiahao looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Master Cao, you don't have to worry too much, just say it directly. "Li Erhe, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Lord Li didn't even look at Lord Liu.
Cao Jiahao frowned, and said stumblingly: "That....... Lord Li's carriage hit your carriage, it is indeed Lord Li's fault, but Lord Li has also dismissed the groom as an apology, if Lord Liu thinks this is inappropriate, then what should you do to make you satisfied?"
"Is it an apology to dismiss a groom?" Lord Shangshuliu of the Ministry of Rites seemed to have heard some big joke, and said disdainfully: "Then I let my groom drive to hit him Li Erhe, and then dismiss the groom, can he Li Erhe be willing?"
Master Li smiled and said, "The old man's car and horse hit your Lord Liu's car and horse, which was purely unintentional, but you drove into the old man's car and horse, it was intentional, and the difference between intentional and unintentional is big." ”
Lord Liu said angrily: "Whether you old boy did it on purpose or not, only you know it, there are some things that the old man doesn't want to say more, but I didn't expect that you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and you would use such indiscriminate means against the old man!"
At this time, Lord Du Wenqi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, who had been silent, finally spoke, he looked at the angry Lord Liu, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Liu, the lower officials don't understand what you said, what is the meaning of not deliberately knowing in my heart, what is the means of the three indiscriminate, today the lower officials and Lord Shangshu are on the street in the same carriage, and they are talking about the internal affairs of the Ministry of Industry all the way, and accidentally bumped into your carriage, how come it seems to have become some earth-shattering conspiracy in your mouth?" If I really want to knock you into something, can't I pay someone to hire someone with Master Shangshu?
I have to say that Lord Du Wenqidu's words are really level, and the logic is so meticulous that people can't find flaws, if they really want to deliberately hit Lord Liu's carriage and horse, with the financial and material resources of Lord Shangshu and Lord Shilang, but they don't have to do it themselves, but everyone knows that this must be a book launched by His Royal Highness the Great Prince to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, if it is not provoked by Lord Shangshu himself, it will definitely not be able to set off too much storm, but if you know it, everyone present, including the wronged Lord Liu, who dares to really break the facts?
The eldest prince is not afraid to break the deadlock, but is the third prince willing? Without the third prince signaling, if Lord Liu rashly pierces this layer of window paper, what kind of ending awaits him?
Liu Da is popular because one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but he was really dumb and couldn't speak, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, and he thought that in the end, he slapped the handguard of the chair and fainted.
Cao Jiahao was startled, and hurriedly ordered the left and right to quickly help the old man up and send him to the hospital for treatment, Master Li of the Ministry of Industry and Lord Lang Du got up and smiled disdainfully, and then said hello to Lord Cao Jiahao, then turned around and left, leaving the yamen.
It stands to reason that if this kind of case is not dealt with, the parties concerned cannot leave the court, but who would dare to stop these two people from watching them go away?
The Great Chu State for thousands of years, although in the forty-six years of the Tianxi Chronicle, Haiyan River is clear, but any dynasty, after running for hundreds or even thousands of years, will inevitably have this or that problem, such as bureaucratic corruption, etc., Zhao Xixuan's reign over the years, in fact, many situations have been improved, but now almost the entire Great Chu Kingdom knows that His Majesty the Emperor's body is dying, so gradually some people began to ignore the majesty of this kind-hearted king, and began to make some small moves.
This farce in the Yingtianfu Yamen soon spread among the upper classes of the Yingtian City, and overnight, almost everyone knew that Lord Shangshu Liu of the Ministry of Rites was hit by the carriage and horse of Lord Li of the Ministry of Industry and Lord Lang Du of the Ministry of Industry, and he was so angry that he fainted on the spot in the Yamen of Yingtiancheng, and everyone was talking about it for a while, secretly and privately consuming whether this was the prince who was ready to take the first step.
In the Liu Mansion, after the old man was sent back to the house, he was in a coma all night before waking up, and the first thing he did after waking up was to angrily smash the teacup on the table in front of the bed, and then he got out of bed and hurried out of the house on crutches.
The young master of the Liu family hurriedly came over, sighed and said worriedly: "Dad, your old man has just woken up, how can you get out of bed and run around the yard, the doctor said, you are a hot heart, you have to take care of it, go back to the house quickly!"
"I'll go back to your uncle's legs!" The old man angrily threw his crutches and said angrily: "Then Li Erhe, an old bastard, has been bullied to the doorstep, and you kid still let me keep it, do you keep his rampant spirit?"
The young master of the Liu family was scolded and did not dare to speak, obviously he was used to the hot temperament of the old man, and he sometimes even secretly slandered His Majesty the Emperor for choosing his father, who was the most uncourteous, to hold such an important position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but where did he dare to say these words, so he had to pick up the crutches from the ground and send them to the old man's hand, and muttered: "Dad, you can go to the Third Highness if you want to, but I ask to go with you, and I hope your old man agrees." ”
Lord Liu naturally knew that his son felt sorry for himself, so he accepted his temperament and said in a low voice: "Okay, you have to help my old man well." ”
The family members hurriedly began to prepare the carriage and sent the old man and the young master out of the house.
