When Zhu Ping'an walked into the courtyard, he was inspected by the brocade guards standing on both sides of the door, and checked Zhu Ping'an's seal and the official documents of the Criminal Department before being allowed to enter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Entering the courtyard, Zhu Ping'an's outfit also attracted everyone's attention, it was too chicken, everyone was neatly dressed in official clothes, and Zhu Ping'an was wearing a cloth bag in regular clothes, it was difficult not to attract attention.

Just now, when Zhu Ping'an was verified by Jinyiwei at the door, everyone had already noticed it, especially when they knew that Zhu Ping'an was one of the protagonists of today's statement, which attracted everyone's attention.

"You are Zhu Ping'an?"

As soon as Zhu Ping'an walked into the courtyard, an official in his forties, with a long beard and a three-poinsettia peacock uniform, walked up to Zhu Ping'an with gloomy eyes and asked condescendingly.

"Xiaguan Zhu Ping'an, I've seen my lord."

As soon as he looked at the peacock Puzi in the official uniform, Zhu Ping'an knew that this was a member of the third rank and a deputy ministerial-level official. So, Zhu Ping'an avoided half a step to the right, bowed his head, and saluted twice with a long hand.

When a lower-level official in the Ming Dynasty met a higher-level official, the practice was to move to the right side, wave his hands twice, and salute and say hello. The so-called hand shaking means that the arms are folded and stretched forward, the right hand is slightly bent, the left hand is placed on the right hand, the arm is moved down from the top of the forehead to the chest, and the body bows 45 degrees when the hands are shaken.

Of course, if there is a huge difference in official positions, and you have to go further to show respect or flattery, you can also bow or bow to the head, which is a type of kneeling bow. Of course, it is not mandatory, it is purely voluntary. You do it, and no one stops you; If you don't do it, no one will say you're rude.

After Zhu Ping'an waved his hands and saluted, he heard a dissatisfied cold snort from the top of his head.

Hearing the cold snort, Zhu Ping'an didn't wait for this person to reply, but smiled slightly and straightened his back. Anyway, your etiquette is in place, you love it, and I won't serve you. No matter how respectful you are, you won't be satisfied with a person who already has prejudices about herself.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an straighten up, the Sanpin senior officer in front of him was even more dissatisfied, exuding a cold aura all over his body, snorted, looked at Zhu Ping'an with gloomy eyes and asked, "Who did you learn the etiquette from, why didn't you kneel when you saw the official?" Where is the etiquette of officialdom placed? ”

Kneel?

Now it is the Ming Dynasty, and it is not the Manchu Qing Dynasty with strong remnants of slavery, you are a third-grade official, and I am also a six-grade official, with meritorious fame, and not Bai Ding, why do you want to kneel to you with a servant face.

"The lower officials don't understand what the adults mean." Zhu Ping'an hooked the corners of his lips slightly and shook his head.

"According to my Ming etiquette, hundreds of officials are distinguished according to their rank, and those who are inferior to two or three ranks, meet the Venerable and bow, and the Venerable sits and receives the salute, and bows down when there is something. And Taizu said: Those who are subordinate to the official rank are lower than the superiors, and they will kneel. The Sanpin master stared at Zhu Ping'an with gloomy eyes, and said slowly, the cold light in his eyes was like the tip of a knife with a blade, slowly swallowing the cold.

The whole person of the third grade was like a knife blade stabbing over, and he tested the pressure on Zhu Ping'an.

The confrontation between the Sanpin Grand Officer and Zhu Ping'an naturally attracted the other officials in the courtyard, and they all focused their attention.

"Thank you, sir." Zhu Ping'an arched his hand.

Just when everyone thought that Zhu Ping'an had softened, they heard Zhu Ping'an ask again, "I don't know where the adults are?" ”

"This official is the left squire of the military department." The Sanpin master glanced at Zhu Ping'an and replied proudly.

Oh, no wonder you bite me as soon as you meet, it turns out that you are Zhao Daying's uncle Zhao Qiu.

"It turned out to be an adult from the Ministry of War...... Zhu Ping'an nodded when he heard this, and then the conversation changed, "I just listened to the adult's words, and I thought that the adult was the official of the Hanlin Academy." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Qian looked at Zhu Ping'an.

Other officials Ye shook his head slightly, this new champion really doesn't know enough about officialdom etiquette, the head of the Hanlin Academy is just the fifth grade, the person Zhao is the left squire of the military department, how obvious is the peacock on the official uniform, the peacock Puzi is the symbol of the third-grade official, how can it be the official of the Hanlin Academy.

"As the Lord said just now, those who are subordinate to the officials are inferior to the superiors, and they kneel down in the matter. The adult is the upper official of the military department, and the lower official is the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and the division belongs to the Hanlin Academy, not the military department, and the lower official is not a matter at this time. Therefore, there is no need to ......"

Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, and explained that there was no need to say anything further, everyone knew what it meant when they heard it.

No need to kneel.

Taizu's instruction is that those who are subordinate to the officials are inferior to the superiors, and the officials are to kneel; That is to say, subordinates in the same department should kneel down when reporting to their superiors. Only the same department applies. And Taizu's instruction has not really been implemented, just like the "Great Message" he issued, when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, every family had a copy, but after Zhu Yuanzhang died, it lost its legal effect and became waste paper.

Zhao Qiu originally wanted to give Zhu Ping'an a dismissal, so that Zhu Ping'an would lay a decline before the beginning of the statement, thinking that Zhu Ping'an was not very old, his psychology was relatively fragile, and he would generally collapse under this kind of coercion, but he didn't expect Zhu Ping'an's young psychological quality to be beyond his expectations.

I quoted the scriptures myself, but I didn't expect to be attacked by him with the spear of the son.

But it doesn't matter, although there are some surprises, but they are also under control, the official still has a back hand, Zhao Qiu smiled slightly, and then looked at Zhu Ping'an again, and said slowly: "Presumably you came here after receiving the official document from the Criminal Department, this time the Criminal Department's presentation was jointly presided over by our Military Department, the Criminal Department, Jinyiwei, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate." This official is Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, who came on behalf of the Ministry of War, and is one of the chief judges of this case. ”

"I believe that the adults will judge the princess." Zhu Ping'an said humbly.

"Of course." Zhao Qian nodded, and then continued, "This official will naturally judge the princess. This official has carefully studied the case of Chen Qing, and you impeached Zhao Daying for killing Liang and taking meritorious service, and Zhao Daying also sued you for framing Zhongliang and communiquéing personal vendettas. In order to show fairness and justice and strict official discipline, during the presentation of the case, you and Zhao Daying were all temporarily dismissed from their official positions, and after the facts of the case were clarified, rewards and punishments were given. Seeing the official like this, how to salute, there is no need for the official to continue. ”

Don't you hold your own fame and don't kneel, then I'll temporarily remove your fame, don't say it's unfair, didn't listen to me, I even removed Zhao Daying's fame, now you have no opinion.

A person who has no merit and fame, when he sees his own official, still doesn't he kneel? Zhao Qiu looked directly at Zhu Ping'an, and he was self-assured.

"I have a clear law on rewards and punishments, and I will punish crimes according to the "Ming Law" and other laws. There has never been a case of direct conviction and punishment without trial. Now, the case has not yet begun, the guilt has not been determined, and the adult has temporarily dismissed the reputation of the lower officials, what is the reason and what is the law? ”

Zhu Ping'an glanced at Zhao Qiu and shook his head slightly, is the fame that you can reform if you say that you can reform? ! There must be a program. In order to give yourself a dismount, you don't even want to lose face!

"There's a precedent." Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes slightly.

There is a precedent that there have been examples before, and as for whether it was a few years ago or a few hundred years ago, whocare.

Zhao Qian is not afraid of eating ugly, firstly, it is to vent his anger to Daying, and secondly, this is the time to be loyal to Yan Ge, it doesn't matter if he is ugly or not, as long as the wind blows into Yan Ge's ears, it is worth it.

Okay, that's a scoundrel, but who wouldn't be a scoundrel.

Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an lifted the cloth bag that was slung across his waist, looked at Zhao Qiu with burning eyes and asked: "I have a note from the saint in my bag, as well as the sage book written by the saint, the saint and the saint of Confucius are on top, dare to ask the lord, do you want to kneel down and salute together?" ”

"You ......" Zhao Qian looked at Zhu Ping'an, angry and annoyed, and finally brushed his sleeves away, and the matter of saluting was over.

The officials in the courtyard couldn't help but look at Zhu Ping'an a few more times.
