Chapter 291: The Imperial Sword
Li Rizhi said goodbye to Peng Ji and returned to Chen's house, Fu Guibao and they didn't go out, and when they saw Li Rizhi coming back, they came over one after another, saying that Li Rizhi went out too early, they hadn't gotten up yet, and they would wake them up before going out next time.
Chen Yingying said: "Rizhi, what did you do when you went to office today, but did you sit in court to try the case?" ”
Li Rizhi shook his head and said: "No, those two boxes of jewelry caused some trouble last night, and they were snatched away by Helan Minzhi, and they went to the palace to complain, saying that I gave Peng Ji a bribe, and my county was almost removed before I took office!" ”
Everyone was surprised, but looking at Li Rizhi's appearance, he knew that the matter was solved, and he was not particularly worried.
Chen Yingying said: "I sent someone to inquire, that Helan Minzhi is a first-class title, and he is very favored by Queen Wu, and he is extremely arrogant, offending him, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous!" ”
Fu Guibao and Cheng Zi nodded together, and Fu Guibao said: "It's better to find a light man who loves money and doesn't want to die on the rivers and lakes, and stab Helan when he is not paying attention, and it will be a hundred!" ”
Cheng Zizi said: "Looking for outsiders will inevitably leak the news, it's better for me to go, if you can't get close to stab him, then use a bow and arrow from a distance!" ”
Li Rizhi looked at the two of them seriously, and couldn't help laughing: "There's no need for that, although this person is arrogant, but he is very rude, this kind of person is very easy to make mistakes, and I think he is a short-lived appearance, it will take a few years to estimate that he will be killed, if you don't believe it, just watch it!" ”
Several people laughed together, everyone knew that the assassination of Yipin Guogong was a big deal, just talk about it, but don't dare to really do it, so it's better to fantasize about Helan's bad luck, live a dry addiction in your consciousness, and satisfy your psychology.
Li Rizhi then told what happened in the palace, and when he said that he was giving birth to Queen Wu, the three of them were stupid, they really didn't expect that such a thing would happen, and giving birth to the queen was something that had never been heard of for eternity!
After finishing speaking, Li Rizhi said about his new assignment, and also told them that the prince had written a letter to praise them, and had sent a eunuch to their home, and Cheng Zizi's letter was sent to the Liufen Medical Hall!
Chen Yingying is better, she is a descendant of the royal family of the Southern Dynasty, Cheng Zizi is so excited that she panting, and Fu Guibao is so happy that she jumps three feet high.
Fu Guibao complained: "Big brother, why didn't you say it earlier, I have to send someone to hurry up and go home, tell my parents the news, and then calculate the time, just when the eunuch is about to arrive at my house, a big wine banquet, so that I can have face, and I also have to arrange to sacrifice to the ancestors, provide the letter, and comfort the ancestors of the Fu family, these are all things that take time to prepare!" ”
Chen Yingying called a few servants and asked him to ride a fast horse to report the news, and each family had to be notified and prepare early, after all, it is estimated that the prince can write a letter and praise it, and it is estimated that this is the only time in this life.
The four of them were very happy, and the way to express their joy was to eat and drink, and set up a feast in the house, and all four of them drank too much.
Li Rizhi said with a big tongue: "The supervision envoy is not the supervision of the imperial history, so I am not under the management of the imperial history, I will directly belong to His Majesty, I am the envoy of the Son of Heaven, what do you say the magistrate should call me?" ”
"Call you Angel, Angel Lee!" Fu Guibao and Cheng Zi shouted together.
Li Rizhi laughed, raised his glass and said, "Yes, if you want to call me Angel, I am Angel Li!" ”
The four of them were all in high spirits at this time, full of expectations for the trip to Mount Tai, as for whether this inspector would be respected by the magistrate, or hostile to the magistrate, they didn't care, anyway, there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, and the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge, why do you want to do so much!
Outside the palace gate, a eunuch finally walked out of the door, and arrived in front of Helan Minzhi, at this time Helan Minzhi was already awake, but he felt that it was better to faint, his legs hurt greatly, and even his whole body hurt, but he refused to collapse, it was too faceless!
The eunuch walked quickly to him and said, "Zhou Guogong, the emperor has an order to let you go home and reflect behind closed doors, from now on, if you are not summoned by the will, you are not allowed to enter the palace, do you understand?" ”
Helan Minzhi gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, the minister obeys the order!" ”
After the eunuch finished his errand, he immediately stepped forward, helped Helan Minzhi up, and stammered: "Grandpa Guo, it was Mrs. Wei who begged Your Majesty, and Your Majesty asked the little slave to come out to pass the decree, Grandpa Guo should go home quickly, find the imperial doctor to see his knees, don't fall into any disease!" ”
Helan Minzhi said: "Your Majesty wants to go, not the queen?" ”
There was a lot of disappointment in his tone, it turned out to be the emperor that his sister begged, not the Empress Wu who let him go, could it be that he really lost his aunt's favor?
Seeing the eunuch shaking his head, Helan Minzhi was really troubled, if he lost his aunt's favor, it would be over, his sister would not bring him much power and status, he mainly had to rely on his aunt!
Helan Minzhi limped out of the palace gate, and the servants he brought saw this from afar, hurriedly came over, and specially called a sedan chair for him, and carried Helan Minzhi back to the house.
The eunuch watched Helan Minzhi leave, and waited for Helan Minzhi to go away, he snorted, originally he came out to pass the decree, he was still very happy, hoping to get a reward, but not to mention the reward, he didn't even say thank you, this Helan beast is really not good at being a man!
After Helan Minzhi returned to the house, he immediately called someone to find a doctor, showed him the bruises on his knees, applied herbs, and treated them in time, so as not to leave any root causes.
At this time, his housekeeper came and said to Helan Minzhi: "Lang Jun, there are a few more officials who have come to see them today, all of them are minor officials, and they have all prepared gifts, I just ask Lang Jun to say a few kind words for them in front of the queen's mother, so that they can be promoted as soon as possible!" ”
After a pause, the housekeeper said again: "There is only one official who is sent to the deputy, because this official is an official on Mount Tai, so he can't come in person, but the gifts he has prepared are the most, it seems that he sincerely wants to take refuge in Lang Jun, let Lang Jun be his backer, Lang Jun can take a look at the gift list?" ”
Helan Minzhi was annoyed, and waved his hand: "You take it first, and then I'll see when I have time, how did the official on Mount Tai find a backer to find a certain place, it's really inexplicable!" ”
He didn't think deeper, sent the housekeeper, and began to think about how to retaliate, he now not only wants to repair Li Rizhi, but also hates Li Hong, and even Peng Ji hates it!
But it's a pity that he only has an empty title, and he has no actual official position, and Li Hong doesn't want to say it, Peng Ji and Li Rizhi are county commanders, and the other is county officials, both of whom are people with real power, and it's almost the same to put on small shoes for him together, he can't really give them some colors to see!
This made him even more distressed!
The next day, Tong Guinu came to Chen's mansion in person, and he brought Chen Yingying's female official Yinxin, Zhangzhen, the female official of Zhengbapin, and also brought a royal sword, which Li Rizhi personally greeted.
Tong Guinu first wanted to meet Chen Yingying, Chen Yingying changed into women's clothes and came out, Tong Guinu saw it, and sighed: "With Chen Zhangzhen's appearance, it is impossible to enter the palace on duty, the queen mother doesn't like women with colors very much, but Zhangzhen has never had any specific things, and it is enough to have a female history in the department!" ”
He told Chen Yingying about some precautions for female officials, mainly to pay attention to etiquette, but these are all things to pay attention to before the emperor and empress drive, if Chen Yingying is not on duty in the palace, then these will not be used to her.
She is a female official, not a concubine in the palace, although the name of a female official is not regarded as an honor given indiscriminately, not to the point of flooding, and it is still valuable, but in fact, there are not too many privileges, at most it is just convenient to move.
Of course, what Li Rizhi asked for was this convenience of action, he didn't dare to really let Chen Yingying go around the emperor, I heard that the emperor was very hungry and thirsty now!
Tong Guinu pointed to the sword he brought, and said: "This is Shang Fangjian, because you are the supervising envoy, I don't know if Your Majesty is wrong, if you don't say a royal word, it should be the supervision of the imperial history, we can't ask again, but you definitely don't belong to the imperial history of the Taiguan, that's for sure!" ”
Li Ri knew: "Then I am under the personal management of His Majesty?" ”
"You think beautifully, the people under His Majesty's personal management are all prime ministers, and there is a prisoner!" Tong Guinu said: "This supervisor went to ask Xu Xiangye for you, and asked you to go to his Zhongshu Province first, and he agreed." ”
Li Rizhi was overjoyed, and Xu Jingzong was still very comfortable to cooperate, he picked up Shang Fang's sword, brushed the ground and pulled the sword out of its sheath, the cold light flashed, it was really a good sword, and he said happily: "This sword is used to stab people, excellent!" ”
Shang Fang Sword, in the Han Dynasty called Shang Fang Chopping Horse Sword, folk also called Shangshu Sword, can get Shang Fang Sword ministers, are the emperor's most trusted, can be cut first and then played, according to the law to punish adultery!
Note that there is a word game here, according to the "law" to punish adultery, according to the law, a person is sentenced to a crime, and it is a capital crime, it must be reported layer by layer, and then an order is issued to behead the criminal, so it is a complete legal chain, so under the premise of punishing adultery according to the law, it is nonsense to cut first and then play!
The matter of stabbing people directly with Shang Fang's sword either happened in the opera or after the three major expeditions in the late Ming Dynasty!
Tong Guinu said again: "This sword is used to show your identity, to show that you are a messenger, and the magistrate must cooperate with your actions, but you can't really use it to stab people, just ask if you don't understand, don't be smart, imagine it out of thin air!" ”
Li Rizhi nodded again and again, indicating that he understood, Chen Yingying gave the expensive gifts, and Tong Guinu left satisfied.
Holding Shang Fang's sword and shaking it, Li Ri knew: "Why don't we go to Helan Min's house first and see what he is doing!" ”
"Go and stab him, can't this sword be used to stab people, it's so sharp, it's really blind!" Fu Guibao said.
Chen Yingying thought for a while and said, "Why don't we pull His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let him pay a private visit?" ”
Li Rizhi said with a smile: "Okay, if you become a female official, you will come up with an idea!" ”
