Chapter 42: Lord Tang's Imprisonment

"Lord Tang's face looks a little bad......"

Zhu Ping'an looked at Tang Yu's forehead again and again, and said with a worried face.

Tang Yu didn't know where he offended this little marquis, and he wanted to play tricks on himself like this today. Anyway, the matter has come to this, he holds the mentality that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and thinks, "The old man will toss as you want, see how long you can pretend to be a ghost?" ”

So he didn't say a word.

"What's wrong, the little marquis hurry up and tell us."

At this time, it was naturally the little grandfather Fu Di who stood up to praise him.

The rest of the people didn't know whether what Zhu Ping'an said was true or not, so they looked at him together to see what he could say.

"Lord Tang, if you don't like to hear something, judging from your face, I am afraid that you will be imprisoned in the near future."

Zhu Ping'an continued, and the gloom on his face deepened.

The crowd was shocked again.

The disaster of imprisonment is such a serious matter, even if Zhu Ping'an is a noble little marquis, he can't be so untrustworthy.

Tang Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and said coldly, "Little Hou Ye, ask yourself if the old man didn't offend you, why do you want to make fun of the old man like this?" ”

"Having fun? No, no. Zhu Ping'an shook his head and continued to say seriously, "I saw that Lord Tang gave Ben Hou an accurate face, so I told the truth." If it were someone else, the marquis would not bother to bother with this idle matter. ”

Zhu Ping'an pondered again, and then said, "Actually, it's not impossible to resolve it. If Lord Tang does not leave the house within 100 days, he may be able to avoid this difficulty. ”

pretended to be, but made it solemn.

Tang Yu heard that Zhu Ping'an was blindly messing around, so he didn't want to entangle with him anymore, so he got up and wanted to leave.

"Lord Tang, do you believe me?" Zhu Ping'an also seemed a little unhappy, "If you don't believe it, Ben Hou will make a bet with you, how about it?" ”

"What does the little marquis want to bet on?"

Seeing that Zhu Ping'an still refused to let go of himself, Tang Yu also moved his real fire. If you want to gamble, gamble, am I still afraid of you? He asked himself if he didn't deceive the king, and with Liu Ruchang, a big backer, wouldn't it be nonsense to talk about the disaster of prison?

"I bet you'll be in prison in three days. If not, the title of my little marquis will be given to you, and you will lose 5,000 taels of silver. ”

Zhu Ping'an said it categorically.

Seeing this, Fu Di winked at Zhu Ping'an. At this time, he also understood that Tang Yu had offended the little marquis and deliberately punished him here.

But Fu Di still felt that no matter how powerful Zhu Ping'an was, it would be impossible to send Tang Yu to prison within three days, because he was a court official of the fifth rank after all. The matter of going to prison, it is for the emperor to nod, and even the emperor's grandson can't be the master. Xiao Hou Ye made this bet, but he was afraid that he would lose.

According to his thoughts, Tang Yu offended Zhu Ping'an, and beat him with a black fist in a muffled voice, why bother to make such a big bend?

"Your title is a gift from the emperor, even if you dare to let it, how dare the old man ask for it? Silver is even more useless to the old man. The old man doesn't want the little marquis to do anything, if you lose, just don't come to pester the old man in the future. ”

Tang Yu said coldly.

"What if you lose?"

The old man took off his official uniform, asked the emperor to resign, and returned to his hometown.

Tang Yu replied without dragging the mud and water at all.

After finishing speaking, he didn't stop anymore and walked away.

"At that time, I won't be able to take off this official uniform, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." Zhu Ping'an smiled coldly in his heart.

The rest of the people didn't want to stay any longer, so they saluted Zhu Ping'an and resigned.

"Little Hou Ye, are you really right? Why do I think it's a little mysterious? ”

After everyone left, Fu Di sighed and said. He was a little angry about Zhu Ping'an's insistence on making a bet regardless of his hints just now.

"I said Master Fu, when did you see this Marquis lose?"

Zhu Ping'an smiled faintly.

Fu Di thought to himself that this is also true, they came out to play, and it seemed that they had never suffered a loss.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an's confident look, he said in his heart, "Little Marquis, if you look at it this time, I will worship you as a teacher and learn your fortune-telling skills." In the future, I will go out so that I can coax those young ladies. ”

……

Two days later, the Tai Chi Temple.

Because it was a big court meeting, there were important matters to discuss, headed by Liu Ruchang, and the officials above the fourth grade in Kyoto rushed to the forbidden palace and waited outside the main hall.

"The hour has come, please enter the temple."

The father-in-law on duty shouted at a sharp voice and opened the main entrance of the main hall.

Liu Ruchang led hundreds of officials to enter. Don't look at the hundreds of people, following Liu Ruchang, in an orderly manner, not chaotic at all. From this, it can be seen that Liu Ruchang's prestige among the hundred officials is extremely high.

Entering the main hall, the dragon chair above was empty, and the emperor and the imperial grandson had not yet come out.

At this time, two old fellows, with a small one, entered the main hall.

As soon as they saw these three people, there was a small discussion in the originally silent hall.

"Why are these two old guys here?"

"That is, King Chengping and An Le Gong probably haven't been to court for ten years, right? Remember the last time they went to court, or because of something? "There are old ministers in the court who are reminiscing.

"It seems that they have also heard the wind, but they don't know, which side will they be on?"

"The people of Kyoto know about it, but how can they not know it? It doesn't really matter which side you're on, what matters is what the emperor means. ”

Everyone nodded again and again, such a big matter, naturally only the emperor can make a decision.

Discussion is discussion, but the identities of the two old guys are there, and all the officials salute one after another. Even Liu Ruchang, the first assistant, also bowed his hand to the two.

"They came and came, why did they still bring that little gentleman?"

Seeing Zhu Ping'an following behind, Baiguan was even more surprised, and couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes.

Zhu Ping'an didn't care, curiously looked east and west, smiled, and kept nodding to those ministers.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an's behavior so frivolous, the ministers couldn't help but shake their heads.

The Lord Tang, the Qintian Supervisor who was standing at the end, was even more pale because he had a holiday with Zhu Ping'an.

"The emperor has arrived, and the emperor's grandson has arrived ......"

Gonggong An, who was beside Taizu, shouted, shook the dust in his hand, and came in through the side door.

The old man and the young man walking in front of him, with solemn faces, were none other than Emperor Taizu and Emperor Zhu Shouwen. Their ancestors and grandchildren wore almost identical bright yellow dragon robes, with a slight difference that Zhu Shouwen's dragon robe was covered with a thin layer of black veil.

The entire hall fell silent.

Waiting for Taizu and Taisun to sit down, Liu Ruchang took a step, knelt on the ground with hundreds of officials, and exhaled three times long live.

"The Qing's family is flat."

Although Taizu's tone was calm, it had its own majesty.

When the officials stood in their positions, Taizu found that there were two old guys at the front of the ministers.

"Chengping, Zhu Zhong, I must have not seen you for ten years above this Taiji Hall, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, they are all lazy ministers, who have failed to share the emperor's worries, and have lost their grace."

King Chengping and An Le Gong saluted Taizu.

Taizu waved his hand, "I'm glad that you two can come today." Someone is coming, give King Chengping and An Le Gong a seat. ”

The eunuch who accompanied him brought two embroidered piers according to his words, placed them on the side of the hall, and asked them to sit down.

Zhu Ping'an followed An Le Gong and stood behind him.

Taizu also saw him, but said in his heart, "Why is this little Anzi here?" "I didn't pay much attention to it.

After Zhu Ping'an stood still, he glanced at Zhu Shouwen on the dragon chair. Zhu Shouwen had already seen it, but his face sank, and the meaning was obvious, "Why are you here?" But it's coming, but you can't mess around in this Tai Chi Hall. ”

"The ...... of the beginning of the court"

Grandpa An shouted again.
