Chapter 689: Still a Hedgehog

The strongest, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the prosperous Ming Dynasty!

As a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, Ding Zongshu has always been conservative in etiquette, and he can't see anyone breaking the rules, maybe the only thing he can't do is Ding Yuqing, the only son.

Because of this, he hated Lu Jin, who preached the opening of the sea with all his might, and later broke the defense of etiquette and religion, and let Shandong women show up to work. He not only counted his crimes in the yamen, but also asked his good colleagues to impeach Lu Zhen for all kinds of crimes, even at home, he always criticized him in front of his son, saying that Lu Jin's disaster was even worse than Wang Zhen at the beginning, and maybe it would become a big disaster in the world at any time.

It was precisely because he heard too much about his father's dissatisfaction with Lu Zhen that Ding Yuqing also hated him. Although he is a gentleman, he also wants to share his father's worries. So this time, when he learned that the Manchu officials impeached Lu Jinqun in the place where the attack was made, he seized the opportunity and paid to call those street gangsters and idlers to let them go to the door of the Lu Mansion to disturb the noise, even if they couldn't move the other party, they could be disgusted to death.

At the beginning, both Ding Yuqing and those ruffians didn't dare to do too much because of the status of the Lu family. But after the soldiers and horses and the princes of the Shuntian Mansion came to intervene but were blocked by Ding Yuqing in the name of their father, their courage was completely let go.

Especially on the day of the accident, the group of people who were already a little lawless planned to climb into the Lu Mansion from the wall to make trouble. Ding Yuqing also knew this, so he hurriedly ran to stop it. He is still a little sensible, knowing that once he really makes too much trouble, even if his father intervenes, he may not be able to calm the situation.

Of course, Ding Zongshu has also heard about what his son was doing behind his back. However, out of his doting on his son, coupled with his deep hatred for Lu Jin, he did not stop Ding Yuqing's nonsense, in his opinion, Lu Zhen was jointly impeached by these many officials this time, and he would definitely have to be dismissed, so he didn't have to worry about his identity at all.

Not only him, but also officials such as the Shuntian Mansion Yin also held similar views on this matter. That's why they will let what happened outside the Lu Mansion go unpunished, as if nothing had happened.

But no one expected that Lu Zhen would return to Beijing at this juncture, and after seeing this scene in front of his house, he was so bold as to let his subordinates directly attack these troublemakers, and finally personally hit a heavy hand, seriously injuring Ding Yuqing, who happened to be present.

What is even more unexpected is that Lu Jin, who returned to the DPRK after a few years, has not diminished his combat effectiveness in the slightest, and after some arguments, he actually overturned all the charges that others impeached and imposed on him. Moreover, after Ding Zongshu himself jumped out to accuse him of hurting people, he was countered by him and put his son in.

Just looking at the reaction of the Son of Heaven, Ding Zongshu knew that things were very bad. This time, not only could he not be accused of hurting others, but he harmed his own son. Once the emperor said that it was Ding Yuqing's sin, then his life would be completely over, and even his father, he would have to be accused of lax discipline.

Panic, anger, and despair for his son's future made Ding Shilang, who had always followed the rules, lose his mind in an instant at this moment. He hated Lu Jin, and he couldn't wait for this guy to die in front of him like this. With this thought, he couldn't control it anymore, so he actually ignored the fact that he was still above the court meeting, and the Son of Heaven and the ministers were watching, so he screamed and pounced viciously towards Lu Jin.

This change was too sudden, and he was caught off guard by killing the Manchu monarchs. Zhu Qiyu and his courtiers were all frightened by this outburst, some opened their mouths wide, some widened their eyes, and many even exclaimed. But none of them knew what to do......

Fortunately, Lu Zhen was not frightened by the sudden change, although he was below because he was kneeling on the ground, but his reaction was extremely fast, seeing that the other party was fiercely pounced, he quickly put his hand on the ground and jumped out to the side with his strength.

When he was about thirty years old, he was in the prime of life, and he had been practicing martial arts for several years, so he was naturally quite agile. On the contrary, although Ding Zongshu, who was over fifty years old, looked terrifying, his movements were much slower. Even if he was the preemptive party, he was still half a beat slower, allowing Lu Zhen to easily dodge this puff.

Because this time it was an all-out act, after falling short, Ding Zongshu's body leaned forward suddenly, and he was a little unstable. And at this moment, Lu Jin's hand suddenly moved.

I saw him shout in his mouth: "Ding Shilang, please calm down, this is in front of Your Majesty, don't mess around!" The hand was waved out violently, on the surface, it seemed that he wanted to hold the other party and make it difficult for him to attack him again, but in fact, he brought a push trick and added a lot of strength along with the momentum of the opponent's forward pounce.

Ding Zongshu, who couldn't control his body, was even more crooked after being pushed by him like this, and in an exclamation, he slammed on the ground in the square. Then there was no movement!

This Taihemen Square as a place for the early morning dynasty, the natural specifications are very high, and by the way, the ground is also paved with gold bricks of excellent texture, which can only be used in the palace. And Ding Zongshu slammed the ground this time, but his head fell to the ground first, and the consequences were quite serious.

When everyone came back to their senses, they hurriedly came up to check and helped him up from the ground, only to find that he had fainted with blood on his head, and he looked really embarrassed.

Lu Zhen stood aside a little helplessly, as if he wanted to go up to greet him, but he didn't know whether to go up or not. But in fact, there was a sneer in his heart. This old guy was also hitting the muzzle of the gun, and he actually dared to do it with himself, if he wasn't afraid that killing the other party would be in big trouble, he would have taken the opportunity to ask for Ding Zongshu's life just now.

During this period of time, Lu Zhen was really aggrieved. Obviously, opening the sea in Shandong is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but there are so many people who always want to find their own trouble, and even make such a big deal this time.

Forget it, political discord is also the norm in officialdom. But they still do such things to their families, which even the people in the gangs would not do. After Ding Zongshu connived at his son to do such a thing, not only did he not regret admitting his mistake, but instead beat him up and used this matter to impeach himself.

Lu Zhen has never been a good man and a woman, and he will not repay his grievances with virtue. Since the other party has openly bullied themselves, there is only a counterattack. The anger in his heart made him unable to bear it any longer, so he took advantage of the garlic under the other party's feet to make a black hand.

Judging from the results, he was quite successful this time, not only made Ding Zongshu a big ugly man in front of everyone, but also didn't be seen to be bored.

In this burst of exclamations, Zhu Qiyu finally recovered from the shock. Immediately, the Son of Heaven was furious: "Bold Ding Zongshu, it's simply lawless, no king and no father!" Dare to openly commit murder in front of me and in this court! I was skeptical that my son would dare to do such a thing, but now it seems that there must be a father! It is really a great irony that such a rude person would steal an important position as a waiter in the imperial court! ”

Hearing the emperor's roaring words, the ministers all chuckled in their hearts, knowing that Ding Zongshu was going to be unlucky this time, so the person who had a deep friendship with him quickly stood up and pleaded for him: "Your Majesty is angry, Ding Shilang, he usually behaves in words and deeds, this time there must be a reason for such a gaffe, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Ding Shilang is also an old minister of the two dynasties, and he is not at fault on weekdays, and I hope that His Majesty will remember his first offense, and forgive it will be a ......"

Some people even aimed their begging eyes at Lu Jin, wanting him to also come forward to say two good words for Ding Zongshu. Everyone knows very well that this matter started from Lu Jin, if even he can come forward to intercede for him, the Son of Heaven may really spare Ding Shilang.

But in the face of these people's pleading expressions, Lu Jin was not moved at all. Joke, people have done these things to themselves, how can he help Ding Zongshu speak again? He has always believed in a tooth for a tooth, so he just can't see the eyes of everyone, and he still stands there.

And this time, the Son of Heaven was really angry. This was not only because Ding Zongshu was too rude in this way, but also because it reminded him of the incident when Ma Shun was beaten to death by his ministers a few years ago.

Although the two are very different, Ma Shun is even more damned than Ding Zongshu, even Zhu Qiyu wanted to kill him, and he was still beaten to death at the gate of the palace. But in nature, these two things are actually similar, and they are both courtiers' challenges to the majesty of the king.

The day before yesterday, they killed Ma Shun outside the palace gate and did not pursue themselves, and today Ding Zongshu dared to attack Lu Zhen in front of him. If he doesn't punish him severely, maybe tomorrow these courtiers will dare to kick their noses and face to do something to themselves, the emperor.

This wind must not last any longer, and must be suppressed quickly!

The emperor who made up his mind immediately sank his face: "Ding Zongshu has a loss of virtue as a courtier, and he is committing murder, and now he is doing such a sensational thing above the court, almost deceiving the king, which is really an unforgivable crime." Remembering that he had made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, he was only given a light punishment, stripped of all his official positions and reputations, and expelled from Beijing within three days. As for his son Ding Yuqing, he will be handed over to the Criminal Department for strict trial as a civil offender, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"Your Majesty......" When the officials heard this, they were really a little shocked, didn't this cost the lives of the father and son? Quickly opened his mouth again to ask for mercy.

But the emperor snorted: "I have made up my mind, you can't wait to say it again." If there is anyone who dares to intercede for him, he is Ding Zongshu's accomplice, and he should also be guilty! ”

As soon as these heavy words were released, the officials finally did not dare to say anything more. In addition to being frightened, some people couldn't help but glance at Lu Zhen again, and sighed in their hearts, they used to say that he was a hedgehog, and if he offended, he would hurt himself, but now it seems that this is indeed the case......
