Chapter 134 The Cui family is like a city

On the morning of the second day, two major events were going on in Chang'an City almost at the same time.

Yin Ma Lu, the young man of Jingzhao Mansion, was entrusted by Zhang Xuan to act as the agent of Jingzhao Mansion. On the square in front of the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the seven horses Yang Ning and Yang Ning are paralyzed. br>

Ma Lu slowly walked out of the palace, followed by several ordinary subordinate officials of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen and Zhao Hu, the head of the government service.

At present, the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, Yin Zhangxuan is a part-time job, because he is busy with affairs, he almost does not come to the Yamen to sit in charge, and the highest administrative seat in Jingzhao Mansion is this Shaoyin Malu.

Ma Lu walked out of the mansion and glanced at the seven slaves of the Horse Mansion who were kneeling on the cold ground of the square, and felt a little emotion in his heart.

In this Chang'an City, there are not a few people who bully men and women and do misdeeds in the city, but there are very few who can be brought to justice by the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. Jingzhao Mansion received a report from Cangsheng, and this kind of thing is at most a big deal.

Like now, breaking into the outside of the Horse Mansion to arrest people and punish them according to the law is the first time in Ma Lu's more than ten years of officialdom. If it weren't for the courage and thunderous means of the new General Yin Zhang Xuan, Ma Luyan would dare to do this?

Give him a great courage, and he doesn't dare to take people to Yang Ning? br>

As for the public punishment this morning, Malu refused to do it. Because the Horse Mansion handed over the evil slaves, this is already a loss of face, if you scold these evil slaves in front of the cane, it will undoubtedly be to Yang Mu Cheng Xia and Xia? br>

But Zhang Xuan's decree was like this, and Ma Lu did not dare to disobey.

Hearing that the evil slaves of Yang Jumafu were punished, there were many scholars, common people and businessmen in Chang'an City who came to see the lively onlookers, and they surrounded the square in a short time.

Some shrewd peddlers even bought and sold in this place, and from time to time the officials of Jingzhao Mansion could hear the shouts of people from outside the streets.

The crowd of onlookers grew. Team leader Zhao Hu frowned, walked over and whispered in Ma Lu's ear, "Master Ma, is this appropriate?" The face of Yang Juma's Mansion ......"

"The general clearly ordered this, and the official was helpless. The order of the great general, we can only obey. Malu arched his hand into the air.

"My lord, I don't know what the general's move is...... Could it be that Yang Juma was blamed for the general? Zhao Hu hesitated and asked again.

Ma Lu turned around and glanced at Zhao Hu coldly, and said coldly, "Zhao Hu, this kind of thing will not be mentioned again in the future." How the general is, it is not something that can be criticized. Otherwise, it will be severely punished! ”

Ma Lu was serious, Zhao Hu was startled, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say more.

The crowd of onlookers whispered, and the topic was actually very different from Zhao Hu's question. However, it doesn't matter why Zhang Xuan did this, the important thing is that many people understand that the current Jingzhao Mansion Yamen has "changed the sky", and in this Chang'an City, anyone who is a child of the royal family, does not obey the rules and does not respect the law, may be rewarded and punished and imprisoned.

Zhang Xuan is selfless and ruthless.

The concubine and the princess don't give face, let alone other ordinary magnates.

Of course, in the eyes of some people, this can be regarded as Zhang Xuan's new official taking office, and his intention is to take advantage of the opportunity to establish his authority.

Ma Lu waved his hand to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu hurriedly told two officials, one to beat the gong, and the other to hold the newly launched "Chang'an City Public Security Defense Order" of Jingzhao Mansion, circling the venue for three weeks, and announcing it in public.

"Those who gather to make trouble will be punished with twenty rods and ten times."

"Whoever commits a murder in public shall be punished with thirty rods, and shall be punished according to the law."

"Those who bully others, those who bully men and women......"

After the official announced the "Chang'an City Public Security Defense Order", which was very new in the eyes of everyone, based on the Tang Law, some people slowly woke up to the fact that this administrative ban of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen was basically announced and implemented specifically for the elite class.

Of course, this ban comes from Zhang Xuan's thinking and Ma Lu's handwriting.

After the announcement was completed, the ban was publicly posted on the notice board outside the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Ma Lu looked up at the sky, was silent for a moment, and said loudly, "The time has come, execution!" ”

Zhao Hu shouted viciously, "Your Excellency has an order, execution!" ”

A group of wolf-like servants lined up, in groups of three, and two of them would stubbornly interrogate the locusts and eventually caries. br>

Zhao Hu waved his hand.

As the uniformly uniform canes of the servants fell fiercely, the seven evil slaves let out a terrible cry that shook the sky. At first, the screams were very loud, but later, they became weak and moaned, and only the incoming breath did not come out.

Thirty rods

These powerful domestic slaves are pampered on weekdays, how can they endure such suffering. After thirty rods, everyone fainted on the spot.

……

……

The news of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion naturally couldn't hide from the powerful people in the city, which made many people feel very uncomfortable.

If you don't have any opinion on Zhang Xuan, it's impossible. It's just that Zhang Xuan is now in power, and he is standing on the righteous height of being ordered to clean up public order in Chang'an and implement the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to jump out openly to hit Zhang Xuan's gun.

At this time, it is definitely a situation where whoever doesn't pop out with long eyes will fight.

And these are uncomfortable, but they still have to forcibly suppress the negative emotions in their hearts, prepare a car and rush to Cui's house with a generous gift. Cui Ju's birthday, although the Cui family did not issue invitations with great fanfare, the news still spread.

Cui Huan and Cui Jin stood in front of the mansion to greet their father on behalf of their father, but they were surprised.

The Cui family originally only invited familiar guests, relatives and friends, but the people who took the initiative to come to pay their respects to the birthday were in a continuous stream.

The important ministers of the court, the royal family, the Qingliu scholars, and the big businessmen in the city with heads and faces were all invited. Even Yang Guozhong was quite face-saving and sent his eldest son Yang Xun to come over to cheer.

The Cui family was not prepared, and they couldn't resist holding another banquet temporarily.

And Cui Ju and his wife also hurriedly dressed up and greeted the guests in person. Because some of the guests are big people, and none of them can be neglected.

Cui Huan glanced at the crowd of guests who entered and exited the mansion with some emotion, knowing that these people were not from the Cui family, but from Zhang Xuan, the son-in-law of the Cui family.

Zhang Xuan is now meritorious in quelling the rebellion, has won the trust of the emperor, has a high position, can be the third real power faction under the emperor, second only to Yang Guozhong, and a well-deserved upstart, who doesn't want to be friends with him?

Cui Huan remembered Zhang Xuan's reputation at the beginning, remembered the past events of the Cui family being ashamed of Zhang Xuan, and remembered Zhang Xuan's talent, soaring, and powerful, with mixed feelings, but standing in place was a little stupid.

Suddenly, Cui Jin coughed twice on the side.

Cui Huan hurriedly calmed down, and saw Zhang Xuan's mother Liu Shi get out of the car with a beautiful, solemn, stern and generous girl, and walked slowly over with a smile, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly greeted Cui Jin together.

"The old lady arrived, and the Cui family was honored." Cui Huan and Cui Jin bowed down together.

The Liu family is Cui Ying's mother-in-law, that is, the elder of the two brothers, and the two of them are not rude without Zhang Xuan's current power.

Liu's temperament is peaceful, and he has never become "arrogant" because of his son's power, and he is still the same as in the past.

She smiled and sighed, "There is no need for the two sons to be polite, the old man heard that his in-laws were celebrating his birthday, so he brought my daughter over to congratulate him." ”

Cui Huan raised his head and glanced at the delicate girl beside the Liu family with some surprise, when did the Liu family have another daughter?

When the girl saw Cui Huan's gaze, she lowered her head a little shyly, but grabbed Liu's arm timidly with one hand, looking very delicate.

Maybe it was a fate destined by God, or maybe it was a coincidence of love at first sight, just in this fleeting glance, Cui Huan suddenly felt that the door of his heart was open, and the figure of this delicate girl was firmly imprinted on his heart.

Until Liu walked in with the girl, Cui Huan looked at the girl's back a little stupidly, and his eyes gradually became hot.

Ahem

Cui Jin coughed a few more dry coughs, gently tugged at Cui Huan's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, what's wrong today......

Cui Huan came back to his senses, his face turned red, but he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Big brother, when will Mrs. Liu have another daughter?" ”

Cui Jin suddenly realized, laughed, pointed at Cui Huan and said softly, "Second brother, it turns out that I have a sister in the Chinese family∨ when there will be a fourth sister in the Mansion, but I don't know, but I will ask Ying'er later?" Maybe, it's Zhang Jiuming or Zhang Jiugao's sister in the mansion......"

……

……

Cui Ju is in a very good mood, and the Cui family's house today is like a market, which reminds him of the grand occasion of the Cui family's high gate decades ago. The Cui family has been in and out of the family from generation to generation, and now, with the humble status of Cui Ju's official position, the Cui family is actually slowly declining.

Of course, after all, it is one of the highest-ranking families in the world, and the Cui family's heritage and the energy accumulated over hundreds of years are not comparable to ordinary aristocratic families.

Cui Ju knows very well in his heart who the glory of the Cui family today comes from. It's just that he looked around, most of the bureaucrats and magnates in Chang'an City came, and some of the high-ranking people came to see that they had fallen in person, so they sent the next generation over as representatives; But his son-in-law Zhang Xuan has not arrived for a long time.

If Zhang Xuan is not there, this banquet will not be able to start. Although Zhang Xuan is only his son-in-law and a junior, many times, power is more important than seniority.

Cui Ju looked left and right anxiously, he was afraid that these powerful people present would explode because they were looking forward to it for too long, but he didn't expect that even if they waited a little longer, these people would never complain.

They came to Cui's house to congratulate Cui Ju on his birthday, originally to make friends with Zhang Xuan. As long as you can get Zhang Xuan's friendly gesture, don't wait for a while, even if it is half a day, it is worth it.

Cui Ju glanced at Mrs. Suffocation, and said in a low voice, "Madam, the virtuous son-in-law has not arrived, why hasn't Ying'er come out yet?" ”

Mrs. Shu smiled, "Master, the concubine went to urge ∨ Xuan came early in the morning, and it is estimated that she will be in Ying'er's room at this time......"

Mrs. Suffocation got up and left.

Cui Ju smiled respectfully at Princess Yuzhen who was seated, "Your Majesty is a lowly life, and it is really an honor to be supported by His Royal Highness!" ”

Princess Yuzhen Li Zhiying smiled lightly, "Lord Cui doesn't need to be like this. Ying'er is also the daughter of this palace, and this palace should come over to fill up the façade for Ying'er
