Due to Li Chengzong's chaotic entry, Ma Zhou entered the WTO several years ahead of schedule, and the court where he came out also changed owners, and it was no longer the Tang Dynasty of the original time and space, and it was not Li Er who appreciated him; Instead, it was replaced by the Han Kingdom, and Bole, who appreciated him, also became Li Chengzong, a traveler. Ma Zhou is worthy of being praised as a famous minister in the world, he became the second assistant of the Han State and the prefect of Qindao in a short period of time, and his power is not small.
Li Chengzong and Ma Zhou know each other well, they are close friends, Li Chengzong often comes to Ma Zhou's prefect's yamen in the name of a private visit, and on this day, the two of them are together while playing against each other to discuss state affairs, "Your Majesty, there are some words, the ministers do not vomit and are unhappy...... I've wanted to talk to you for a long time......" Ma Zhou suddenly said while playing chess.
"Oh, Brother Bin, please tell ....." Li Chengzong has always regarded Ma Zhou as his Zhang Zifang Zhuge Liang, so he still attaches great importance to his opinions.
"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to say that you have suppressed Confucianism too much, if it goes on like this for a long time, I am afraid that most of them will take refuge in Chang'an, and I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the great cause of the king's unification of China at that time....." Ma Zhou fell into a black spot, and then said, "Weichen is also from the Confucian line...... So Weichen knows that those rotten Confucians' ability to do things and muddy the water is still very good...... In our Han Kingdom, there are such a sharp weapon of public opinion as newspapers, and we can naturally suppress them...... But after Qufu to the west, our set doesn't work very well......"
Don't look at Ma Zhou is also a Confucian, but Ma Zhou in this life is a disciple of Xunzi's lineage, he and those stubborn Confucians are not all the way at all, you must know that in Qufu, in the Confucian Temple, there is no Xunzi This character, which makes Ma Zhou, the heir of the authentic Xunzi, very dissatisfied, so when attacking these rotten Confucians who can be regarded as the same door, it is not polite at all.
"What Brother Bin said is very ...... But Brother Binwang, have you thought about who is standing behind them? Not the big families yet? As soon as Li Chengzong talked about the family, he heard the big drum outside the yamen of the palace "dong dong" sounding, and the two monarchs and ministers heard someone beating the drum and shouting grievances, "Your Majesty, this ....."
Ma Zhou's face was embarrassed, obviously someone shouted injustice, Li Chengzong smiled slightly, "Brother Binwang, you go to the hall, I pretend to be a scribe is ......."
Obviously, Li Chengzong planned to see him judge the case in person, and Ma Zhou was not ambiguous, so he came to the lobby and opened the court to ask about the case.
The official brought in a young offspring, dressed as a peasant from the countryside. The latter came to the desk, knelt down and saluted, and then handed over a note. Ma Zhou took it and took a look, it turned out that this posterity was Li Sanwa from Lijiapo in the east of the city. Yesterday at noon, he went to the Wanghailou in the city to eat, and ordered a signature dish called crispy fish, not wanting to be stuck in the throat by the scales, so he came to visit the Hailou.
After Ma Zhou saw this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said to Li Sanwa: "Li Sanwa, you accidentally ate fish yourself, so that the fish scales got stuck in your throat, and you came to sue others, it's too unreasonable, right?" β
Li Sanwa argued: "My lord, the signboard of his house says that this crispy fish is crispy and delicious, and it will break when you touch it. But I chewed hard, not only did I not chew it, but I stuck my throat, and went to Lang Zhong to clip it out with iron tweezers. You give a comment, is what he says credible? β
Ma Zhou was stunned: "Is that really what is written on his signboard?" β
Li Sanwa said loudly: "It's true. If he hadn't said that, I wouldn't have ordered it. Before, I had looked for the shopkeeper Sun Zhenxin, but he just refused to lose money. β
Ma Zhou nodded and said, "If his family really says so, it will be unworthy of the name." Head catcher, go and bring the shopkeeper. The head catcher immediately took someone to go, and after a while, he brought Sun Zhenxin, the shopkeeper of Wanghai Tower.
Ma Zhou asked, "How does your signboard write this crispy fish?" β
Sun Zhenxin replied: "Crispy and delicious, it will break when you touch it." β
Ma Zhou asked coldly: "Since it is crispy and delicious, it will break when you touch it, but now it is stuck in someone's throat, what can you say?" β
Sun Zhenxin hurriedly said: "My lord, why Li Sanwa got stuck in her throat, the grass people don't know. But since he said that it was my Wanghailou's fish scales stuck in his throat, then ask him to bring the fish scales and let me see if they are my Wanghailou's fish scales. β
Ma Zhou thought to himself, this Sun Zhenxin is really cunning, Li Sanwa was stuck in the throat by fish scales, tossed in every way, and asked Lang Zhong to use iron tweezers to clip it out, even if it is not broken, it is also tossed and broken, and I am afraid that it will be thrown away early, how can it be brought to the hall?
Unexpectedly, Li Sanwa took out an oiled paper bag from her arms, held it high above her head, and said, "The fish scales are here." Please be clear. β
Ma Zhou was shocked, but he didn't expect Li Sanwa to not throw away the fish scales. He took the oiled paper bag, opened it, and saw a piece of golden fish scales, which had been deformed by iron tweezers, and there were blood streaks on the side. He asked the official to hand the fish scales to Sun Zhenxin to see if he had anything else to say.
Sun Zhenxin looked at the fish scales, and suddenly shouted: "My lord, these are not my fish scales!" β
Ma Zhou was stunned: "How do you decide?" β
Sun Zhenxin said: "My fish scales are scorched, and their teeth will be shattered. If he swallows it by mistake, if he presses it on the outside of his throat, it will shatter, and it will not be stuck at all. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it is stuck in the throat and not crushed, it will be broken with iron tweezers, and you can't pull a whole piece at all. β
Li Sanwa argued: "This is your family's fish scales!" If you don't believe me, you can ask Lang Zhong, is it out of my throat? β
Sun Zhenxin argued with him: "The fish scales in your throat are mine?" You got stuck, why didn't you say it at the time? β
The two of them were inseparable, Ma Zhou listened for a while, and couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, at this time Li Chengzong, who was pretending to be a scribe, whispered a few words in his ear, and saw Ma Zhou nodding again and again, he patted the wood and said: "Quiet!" Don't argue, I'll see for myself! β
Ma Zhou and Li Chengzong, who pretended to be a scribe, were escorted by several officials, followed Li Sanwa and Sun Zhenxin to a private room in Wanghai Tower. At this time, Xiao Er happened to pass by with a crispy fish ordered by a guest, and Ma Zhou beckoned and said, "This is it." β
Sun Zhenxin hurriedly brought the little two over and put the crispy fish on the table. Ma Zhou and Li Chengzong first smelled a strange fragrance, they took a closer look, and saw that the fish was cooked whole, and there were a lot of scales, and it was fried to golden brown. At this time, the chef followed up with the hot soup and poured it on the fish, only to hear a "stinging" sound, and the aroma was thin. Sun Zhenxin hurriedly said: "Two adults, please taste." β
The two gentlemen took the chopsticks and took a piece, the fish was tender, but the scales on the outside had been shattered. When they put it in their mouths and chew it, it is indeed charred and pleasant, and it is wonderful. In just a few moments, a fish was already in its belly. Especially Li Chengzong, he couldn't help but admire: "The burnt fragrance is delicious, and the name is well deserved." Brother Binwang, I am also a well-informed person, but I don't know that there is such a delicious food in the world. β
Ma Zhou expressed great agreement with Li Chengzong's statement, he quickly put down the chopsticks, and a fish almost went in.......
