On the square, the ministers were still shocked and couldn't extricate themselves from Cui Wenqing's words.

In their opinion, the Dengwen drum was specially set up by the imperial court for those ordinary people who had no way to complain, and it was also aimed at the powerless class.

Moreover, the formal effect is more than the actual effect.

After all, under the rule of Yin Bao Zheng of Luoyang Mansion, many ordinary people who entered Beijing to sue the emperor wanted to find Bao Zheng, the lord of the blue sky.

Although this Cui Wenqing in front of him is not a dignitary minister of the imperial court, he is also a captain of the Qipin Cavalry, and he is the husband of the governor of the Zhenwu Army, what reason does he have to come to sound the drum? Is there any grievance that cannot be settled?

Thinking of this, the ministers fell into deep incomprehension.

After being silent for a while, Wang Anshi reflected first, frowned and said, "Wen Qing, how can you be so nonsense!" If you have any grievances, just say them, and let the true face be your decision. ”

These words are sonorous and powerful, and the title of "Wenqing" shows that the relationship between Wang Anshi and Cui Wenqing is not shallow.

Moreover, Wang Anshi was able to make a promise to Cui Wenqing in front of all the ministers to make decisions for him, which is tantamount to indicating that he will stand up for Cui Wenqing, no matter what grievances he wants to report, Wang Anshi will not ignore it.

After thinking about all this, all the ministers looked clear.

can get such a promise from the first person in the dynasty, Cui Wenqing should be satisfied!

What else is the drum, An Shi Xianggong made it clear that he was opening the back door for him!

However, what everyone didn't expect was that in the face of Wang Anshi's promise, Cui Wenqing shook his head and said with a serious face: "Xianggong Anshi, this matter is a bit tricky, you can't control it!" ”

At this point, everyone was shocked, Wang Anshi was even more surprised, and only then did he cry and laugh and said: "Cui Wenqing, this is the order of the dynasty, the ruling pen, there is nothing I can't control in this world." ”

Indeed, even if the official Chen Hong is not good, in Daqi, who rules the world with scholars, Wang Anshi can also put on a shelf as a division commander and persuade Chen Hong.

Unexpectedly, Cui Wenqing still shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Xianggong Anshi, I understand your kindness, but I can't cause you trouble in this matter." ”

Wang Anshi was stunned, and wanted to ask, but he understood that Cui Wenqing would definitely not be untargeted, so after thinking about it, he simply didn't continue to persuade him, and saw how he acted.

"Dare to ask Master Su, I don't know where the Dengwen drum is?" Cui Wenqing asked the same question just now.

Su Xun glanced at Wang Anshi, and after seeing that he didn't open his mouth to dissuade him, he smiled helplessly, turned around and pointed to the city gate and said, "It's not far from the city gate." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded, and said solemnly to Sima Wei, Chong Yi and others: "Let's go, let's go over." ”

Sima Wei didn't look at Sima Guang's eyes, which had gradually become iron-blue, bowed slightly, and followed Cui Wenqing towards the city gate.

The ministers looked at each other and hesitated, and many of them went with each other, wanting to see what Cui Wenqing wanted.

After a few steps, Cui Wenqing came to the front of the Duanmen gate, and it can be seen that only five or six zhang away from the city gate, there is a tall cowhide drum, and two guards are guarding here, which is doubly majestic.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing took a deep breath, walked forward quickly, picked up the two drumsticks wrapped in red cloth from the drum rack, and waited with bated breath.

Xie Junhao's heart jumped wildly, and he stepped forward and asked angrily through gritted teeth: "Cui Wenqing, did you really decide to do this?!" Is it non-negotiable? ”

Cui Wenqing saw that his face was flushed and his expression was angry, and finally he couldn't help laughing, and replied happily: "It was Xie Xianggong who was unwilling to discuss with me at first, blame me!" ”

After finishing speaking, he sneered, concentrated his breath and then suddenly exerted his strength, and the round arm used the drumstick in his hand to slam it towards the cowhide drum surface.

"Knock knock ......"

The sound of drums came from the city gate like a tidal wave, just like the winter thunder rising from the ground to shake the heavens and the earth, and it could be heard from afar.

All the ministers looked at Cui Wenqing silently, quietly watching him beat the drums.

After dozens of blows, beads of sweat like beans appeared on Cui Wenqing's forehead, and his arms were also sore, almost unable to hold on.

Finally, the official in charge of the Dengwen Drum House appeared in a hurry.

This is only a six-grade official, according to his usual urine nature, people will drag out a long tone and say reservedly: who beats the drum, what grievances are repaid by all kinds of clouds.

And whenever I see those ordinary people beating drums and shouting grievances, and see the helpless and helpless look on their faces, I feel that I am indescribably great, like a living immortal sent by God to rescue these people.

However, today, seeing the posture in front of the Dengwen drum, it can be seen that there are many bigwigs standing around the drum rack, such as Shangshu Ling Wang Anshi, Zhongshu Ling Sima Guang, Privy Council Deputy Envoy Xie Junhao, Military Department Shangshu Su Xun, and Ministry Shangshu Ouyang Xiu.

Don't think about it, he hurriedly picked up his clothes, hurriedly ran over, and after carefully glancing at these court bigwigs, he opened his mouth like a wronged little daughter-in-law and asked, "Who is beating the drum?" So what's going on? ”

"Me! Cui Wenqing beats the drum! Cui Wenqing put away the drumstick and turned around, and said in a loud voice, with a straight face.

The head of the drum court has never seen such an arrogant drumming person, and he was surprised and surprised for a while.

However, seeing that many bigwigs did not open their mouths to reprimand this person for being rude, the head of the Drum Court had to suppress the curiosity in his heart, and asked in a good voice: "I don't know who Your Excellency is suing?" ”

Cui Wenqing exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, tore open his throat and said loudly: "Under Cui Wenqing, here is the drum to voice grievances, suing the prime minister of the dynasty, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and the general of Yulinwei, Xie Junhao, conniving at his wife and brother to commit murder and kidnapping the students of the National Prison Gao Neng, please make the decisions of the Dengwen Drum Academy!" After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to the head of the Dengwen Drum Academy, and thanked him.

These words were like a bleak cold wind blowing by, freezing everything in the ice, and the huge and wide square was as silent as a sudden death.

Everyone's expressions were frozen on their faces, and they all wondered if they had heard it wrong.

The head of the Drum Court was in a humble position, and after listening to Cui Wenqing's sonorous words, he was already ignorant, his face turned blue, his eyes were straight, he couldn't help but tremble, and stammered and asked: "You, you, you said that you are in a situation, who are you suing?" ”

Cui Wenqing repeated clearly again: "Sue Prime Minister Xie Junhao for conniving at his wife and brother Gao Shiyu to kidnap people and commit murder!" ”

When he was sure that he was really suing Xie Junhao, the head of the Drum Yuan could no longer suppress the panic in his heart, and sat on the ground in fright.
