Luoshui, Tianjin Bridge.

From this to the north, across a wide avenue, is the Taichu Palace Zetianmen, and the Shendu Garden is on the west side of the Taichu Palace.

According to the etiquette system, in the square in front of the gate of the Taichu Palace, except for the purple-robed goldfish bag members of the third grade or above, or the title of the marquis or above, or the person who is given the royal horse, he is not allowed to ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair, and he must walk into the palace at a gallop, and he is not allowed to gather and stay.

Etiquette is just etiquette, and it is not strictly enforced.

Riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair, in some emergencies, often broken, the military messenger law officer is poor, with the emperor's order, he can't take care of many, and there are ten thousand horses in the north, the soldiers and horses are one, enter the palace on duty or act as a guard, always can not lead the horse.

Some elderly court officials, whose legs and feet are not good, can only walk slowly, and no one will be impeached, so they will not add guilt, and gradually become a formality, so that many people have lost their awe of this code.

Zhang Tongxiu, as usual, rode his horse across the Tianjin Bridge, and hesitated for a while.

thought for a while that he should enter the palace to see Zhang Yizhi.

He had already conveyed his arrangements to Zhang Changqi, who had already handed over the leave post to Luantai Shilang Jinghui, and would leave for Dingzhou in the near future.

Yu Linwei, who was stationed at the construction site of the Crane Mansion, also had a small episode.

Li Chongfu, the general of the right Yu Lin Wei, wants to change the duty shift with the left Yu Lin Wei general Quan Zhu, so that he can go to the night banquet of the princess's mansion the day after tomorrow, as his first appearance since the opening of the palace, and deal with the royal family peers.

Quan Zhu, who has always been kind to others, refused in embarrassment, he has participated in the night banquet in the palace of Princess Qianjin many times, and there is no obstacle to one more time or one less time, but this banquet, the little lady of Qinghe Cui's family will also participate, which is of extraordinary significance.

Li Chongfu had no choice but to give up attending the night banquet in Princess Qianjin's mansion.

I thought for a while, these things are insignificant, and it is not worth entering the palace once.

was hesitating, not paying attention, the horse's hooves had deviated from the official road and stepped into the palace gate square.

Zhang Tongxiu raised his head in a trance, and was about to turn around when a black shadow had already collided head-on.

"Bang" "Click"

"Ahhh

Covering his sore nose, he looked fixedly, but the person standing in front of him was the official of Luoyang Mansion, the leader of whom was of the same grade as him, dressed in a scarlet robe, not very old, a handsome young man, and was staring at him with raised eyebrows.

"You are presumptuous, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, dare to attack the officials of the imperial court?" Zhang Tongxiu was bleeding from his mouth and nose, covering it with his hands, the smell of blood aroused him more and more angry, and pointed like a knife, and the halberd pointed at the young man in the scarlet robe, "Who are you?" Report your name, and the official will definitely refer to you."

"The official Luoyang Mansion Sima Cui Cheng" The scarlet-robed official was not stunned at all, "If Zhang Langzhong wants to be impeached, listen to him, before that, this official will detain you and put you in prison"

Zhang Tongxiu was slightly timid, and quickly straightened his waist again, "Hmph, joke, there is no evidence, can you take people with red mouth and white teeth?" Do you have to guard against the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty having a royal law on top? ”

"Very good, Yonghui law and etiquette, in front of the palace gate, you are not allowed to ride a horse under the three grades, you see, where have you been? This is a crime of disrespect, this official takes you, do you accept it or not? Cui Cheng's tongue bloomed with spring thunder and roared very loudly.

Many court officials next to him passed by, saw this scene, listened to Cui Cheng's words, no one stopped to watch, they all left in a hurry, some entered the palace, some left the palace, and it was unknown where they went.

"This official ...... The official made an unintentional mistake, but he was careless and set foot on the edge of the square, how could he ever commit a taboo? Even if he violates the etiquette law, he has his own palace captain or supervises the impeachment of the imperial history, where is the turn to get the Luoyang magistrate? Zhang Tongxiu was shocked, cold sweat was dripping, and he quickly found an excuse to refute Cui Cheng.

"Hmph, a taboo is a taboo, how can there be an excuse to talk about it" Cui Cheng is unforgiving, "The Lu of the food king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the road is illegal, everyone has to lift it, how can there be a distinction between duties?" ”

The two of them were arguing with each other, you came and went, and they started a scolding formation.

Zhang Tongxiu desperately made excuses, stalked and delayed time, waiting for someone to wear the news to the palace, Zhang Yizhi or Zhang Changzong came out at random, and they could give this scarlet robe official a pot to drink.

What is intriguing is that Cui Cheng is not impatient, and refutes sentence by sentence back and forth, and his voice is getting higher and higher, appearing righteous and strict, and he has no fear.

"Cui Sima, what happened?" There was a shout, and the two tacitly stopped choking and looked at the comer.

The gate of the Taichu Palace, which is close at hand, has never seen the trace of the two Zhang brothers, and the first to come to inquire about this matter is actually Yin Weixun of Luoyang Mansion.

Zhang Tongxiu chuckled in his heart, he felt that something was wrong, and he was the first to sell miserably, slapping blood, "Wei Fuyin, look, this is all thanks to your family."

When Wei Xun learned the ins and outs, he stared at Cui Cheng with an unkind expression.

This matter is the dirtiness of the two Zhang brothers and Quan Ce's henchmen, and he is not willing to get involved, but Li Qiao, the eunuch of the palace, directly sent the text to his desk, in black and white, and ordered Luoyang Mansion to quickly clean up the situation, so as not to hinder the palace ban and watch, he is really powerless to resist.

"Wei Fu Yin, Zhang Langzhong violated the ban, the facts are there, and what the lower officials did is reasonable and legal" Cui Cheng did not back down.

"Well, the palace gate is not the authority of Luoyang Mansion, since you have detained someone, you can hand it over to the palace province" Wei Xun chose the most concise solution.

Cui Cheng decisively refused, "Although the palace gate is the duty of the palace province, but the crime of disrespect is not under the jurisdiction of the palace province, and it is not appropriate to hand it over to the palace province, it is handed over, and it should also be handed over to the imperial history platform."

New hatred and old hatred, Wei Xun was furious, and scolded loudly, "Presumptuous, do you still have any condescension and humility, this official is the lord of a government, since the order has been given, you do it, so make a mistake, don't you want to disobey the order and commit it?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare" Cui Cheng arched his hand, bowed slightly, and an inexplicable smile broke out at the corner of his mouth, "Among the government officials, there are still state pastors, and Wei Fu Yin claims to be the lord of the government, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"Fu Yin ordered, the lower officials were not satisfied, and dared to ask the king of Yixing County to adjudicate"

"You ......" Wei Xun's three corpses jumped violently, but there was no way to take Cui Cheng, the ones who controlled Zhang Tongxiu were Cui Cheng's henchmen, and he was dignified, and it was impossible for him to roll up his sleeves and fight.

"Left and right, go to the East Palace quickly, face the state pastor, please show the way" Cui Cheng ignored him, and directly asked people to take the official sticker, enter the East Palace, and ask Li Chongjun, the king of Yixing County, to show down.

Wei Xun saw that it was difficult to recover the water, so he forcibly calmed down, no longer angry, but sneered twice, Li Chongjun is from the East Palace, he doesn't believe it, he will turn his elbow outward, extinguishing Cui Cheng's majesty, and he also asked for it.

In front of the palace gate, a group of people was strangely quiet.

Half of it is in the square in front of the Tianmen Gate, and half is on the avenue under the bridge in Tianjin.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yixing County has an order, there is a law on top, Zhang Tongxiu is jealous, just deal with it according to the regulations, read his unintentional mistakes, the crime is not obvious, it is advisable to fall lightly" A small chamberlain in the East Palace came out and announced the disposition of Li Chongjun, the king of Yixing County, "His Royal Highness admonished Wei Xun, the royal majesty, the court law, Hugh has to take it and pound the paste, and then there will be a next time, and the punishment will not be loaned"

"Ministers obey orders" Wei Xun spun around, his face was pale for a while, and he bowed down with Cui Cheng in a daze.

"Left and right, Zhang Tongxiu was pressed down, and he was executed in half, and the rod was punished ten times"
