Chapter 63: A Sudden Crisis
As soon as Shan Zhuokun stood in the middle of the line, he heard the official behind him say in a slightly disdainful tone:
"This is the position of the second-grade official, and you dare to stand here even if you are a small second-rank official, it's really too much to do."
When Shan Zhuokun heard him say this, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and immediately replied:
"What is the second grade, from the second grade, aren't they all second-grade officials? As for you, are you so calculating and making a big fuss? ”
When the person behind him heard this, he was even more angry, and immediately didn't care about his identity and face, and suddenly stretched out a hand and pressed Shan Zhuokun's back suddenly, how did he know that because the other party had already taken precautions, his fingers suddenly seemed to touch the heavy and hard bluestone, and with a crisp sound, the bones cracked instantly, and he suddenly jumped to his feet and screamed in pain.
The others didn't notice this place originally, but when they suddenly heard this scream, they immediately flashed their eyes. Seeing this scene, they all showed surprise.
"General Xu, what's wrong with you?" In the crowd, an official standing not far away asked in amazement.
The general, surnamed Xu, frowned, his tiger eyes widened, pointed at Shan Zhuokun with his finger, and said angrily: "This is killing me!" ”
When everyone heard him say this, they all moved their eyes to Shan Zhuokun. I saw that the other party was looking at General Xu blankly, his eyes were full of innocence, as if he said that the person was not himself.
"General Xu, you must be mistaken, Master Shan is just a new official who has just taken office, you have no grievances in the past and no hatred in the near future, how can he harm you?" The previous official said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, the people around him echoed it, and they were all helping Shan Zhuokun to play a round.
"What was no injustice in the past, and there is no hatred in the near future? Don't be fooled by his appearance. When General Xu saw this scene, he was even more annoyed, pointed at Shan Zhuokun with his other hand, and shouted, "This kid is a demon, otherwise how can he confuse the Duke of Eguo and the King of Han." Everyone, be careful, don't be fooled by him again. ”
This voice can be described as full of strength, like a tiger roaring and a wolf's roar, and it immediately reached everyone's ears, and they flashed together, their faces full of curiosity.
Yu Chi Baolin was in a fugue before, because he drank a lot of wine last night, and when he returned to the room, he drank a lot of sobering soup under the service of the maid, so he began to urinate urgently in the second half of the night, and he went to the toilet vigorously, and he didn't sleep well until this morning. Now I finally feel sleepy, but I want to go to court, so I can only empty my mind and wander freely. Who knows, such a big thing happened right here.
"Lord Xu, it's not right for you to say that." Shan Zhuokun saw that everyone showed sympathy for him, and hurriedly pretended to be aggrieved, "I'm just a weak scholar, how can I have such a skill as General Xu said?" You're really wrong about me. ”
When General Xu saw Shan Zhuokun say this, his heart felt even more angry, and he couldn't help but pick up his big hand, wanting to slap him hard.
Seeing this, Shan Zhuokun hurriedly shrank his neck. He closed his eyes tightly in the astonishment of the people around him, and silently recited the bone shrinking method in his heart.
You must know that General Xu is a person in the army, and these hands have already gone into battle to kill the enemy and stain countless blood, if he is really hit solidly, even if he does not die, I am afraid that he will have to lie down for ten days and a half months.
"General Xu, be merciful." Suddenly, an angry cry rang out in his ears.
Shan Zhuokun opened his eyes in surprise and saw that Yu Chi Baolin and Li Yuanchang appeared in front of him at some point, grabbing General Xu's arms one left and one right.
"King Han, General Wei Chi, you loosen up quickly." General Xu said loudly, "I have to let this kid know how powerful General Ben is today, he did something wrong, but he still has to use strong words, and he really deserves to fight." ”
"Which eye do you see my brother......"
Shan Zhuokun was about to explain, but when he saw Li Yuanchang glaring at him with his eyes, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
"General Xu, this king knows that you have always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and he also knows that there must be a secret in this. But the matter has come to this, so why do you have to tear face. Why don't you do this......" Li Yuanchang said this, turning to look at Shan Zhuokun, "Shangxian, this king knows that you must have medicine to cure your injuries, why don't you give it to General Xu?" ”
"King Han, what are you kidding? What does this matter have to do with the immortals? Seeing that Li Yuanchang had some elbows turned out, he hurriedly persuaded him, and then glared at General Xu fiercely, and said angrily, "Even if the immortal is at fault, someone must be the first to provoke right and wrong, and General Ben thinks that it is better to take this opportunity to teach a lesson." ”
What he said is also the fact that General Xu believed that he had made military exploits in his early years, and he had always been self-respecting and never looked at people in his eyes. not only speaks and acts to bully others, but also allows his son and nephew to bully men and women and do countless wrong things. The courtiers had already had opinions about him, but they were only embarrassed by the situation, so they swallowed their anger and didn't care.
Li Yuanchang naturally understood what Yu Chi Baolin meant in his heart, but as a courtier, even if the other party was at fault first, they must not add mistakes to mistakes. What's more, Shan Zhuokun has not officially taken office and started the road to becoming an official, how can he easily become an enemy of others?
He didn't pay attention to Yu Chi Baolin, but stretched out his hand directly in front of Shan Zhuokun. Shan Zhuokun hesitated for a moment, took out a small bottle of medicinal powder from his sleeve, and put it in Li Yuanchang's hand.
"As long as you go back and apply a little bit of this medicine to the wound, you can get rid of stasis in three days." Shan Zhuokun said, "However, General Xu, since you have already tasted the bitterness, I also hope that you will not be so arrogant in the future." Otherwise, brother still has a way to rectify you. ”
"You ......."
When General Xu heard this, his anger rose again. However, because he was afraid of Li Yuanchang and Wei Chi Baolin, he didn't dare to show it too obviously, but just stared at Shan Zhuokun and stopped talking.
"Master Shan, you will stand here from now on." After Li Yuanchang finished speaking, he glanced at General Xu again, and said with something in his words, "This is the king's order, who dares to disobey?" ”
General Xu knew that Li Yuanchang's words were deliberately said to himself, so he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
At this moment, only the bells and drums on both sides of the main hall were heard, and white smoke erupted from the mouths of the bronze cranes and copper turtles standing on both sides of the hall gate. Li Yuanchang and Shan Zhuokun glanced at each other, quickly returned to their original positions, and the surroundings suddenly became silent.
"Please go into the hall with the miscellaneous family." Guo Bin, the chief eunuch, stood outside the door of the hall with a whisk in his hand, and after saying this, he shook off the dust and turned around and walked into the main hall.
Subsequently, officials at all levels rushed in according to their ranks, bowing their heads and silently waiting for the emperor to speak.
