Chapter 465: Humiliation

Wu Zhi was indeed looking for someone, but what he wanted to see was not someone, but someone.

The front of these two columns of officials must be led by the legendary Cai Jing, Wang Huang and others, and now that the sky is dawning, Wu Zhi naturally wants to see their true faces first, and see what the legendary traitors look like?

However, the officials in front were too far away from Wu Zhi, and they had excellent concentration, they all stood in front steadily, and they didn't turn their heads back at all, Wu Zhi only saw the long hat wings behind the official hat, and didn't see anyone's appearance.

But what makes Wu Zhi strange is that it stands to reason that Tong Guan will also come to participate in the court meeting, why haven't I seen him yet?

Tong Guan is tall, as long as he is there, Wu Zhi can see him at a glance.

Not only did he not see Tong Guan, Wu Zhi looked at the official team for a while, but he didn't see Zhu Mian, Wu Zhi knew that although Zhu Mian was powerful and held the real power of wealth and power, his official position was not high, and he only had a five-grade official position, if he came to the court, he would definitely not stand in the front, he should also be in the back row, but Wu Zhi looked at the officials on the left and right and the other side, and did not find Zhu Mian's figure.

"Master Cai has arrived!"

A small announcement came, and all the hundred officials present turned sideways slightly, Wu Zhi also looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that not far behind him, a delicate coquettish man slowly lifted up, and walked straight to the middle of the two columns of hundred officials, until the front row of the team, before stopping steadily.

After Jiaozi stopped, a thin old man wearing a first-class blue sea and blue sky Taishi uniform walked out with a hunched waist, and after coming out, the old man neatly tidied up his clothes, bowed slightly with his colleagues around him, and then strode to the front of the left team.

- That's the position of the head of the hundred officials!

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, obediently, is this Cai Jing? Sure enough, the cow is bigger! It's already very good to ride a coquette, and you don't need to be a coquetteer in the palace, it seems that Cai Jing has won Zhao Ji's favor!

In the Song Dynasty, not everyone was qualified to ride in a sedan chair, there were only three kinds of people who could sit in a sedan chair, one was a member of the royal family, the other was a married woman, and the third was the emperor's privilege!

It can be seen how terrifying Cai Jing's power is.

"Captain Tong has arrived!"

Wu Zhi was sighing in his heart, and he made another announcement, and then followed everyone to look behind him, only to see that someone carried a small sedan chair not far away, and the sedan chair looked no worse than Cai Jing's, leisurely and leisurely carried into the team of hundred officials, and went to the front of the team of hundred officials.

It's just that the sedan chair paused a little when it walked to Wu Zhi's position, Tong Guan seemed to know Wu Zhi's position for a long time, and when he arrived here, he opened the curtain slightly in the sedan chair, bowed his head to Wu Zhi slightly, and then continued to move forward to the front of the line.........

Tong Guan got off the sedan chair, straddled and lifted his belt, and walked to the front of the official team on the right!

Regarding Tong Guan's greeting, Wu Zhi naturally responded slightly, but the officials around him didn't notice the secret small movements of the two.

With Cai Jing's previous shock, Wu Zhi didn't feel much surprised except for Tong Guan's pomp, after all, Tong Guan and Cai Jing are at the same level.

Immediately afterwards, there were two sedan chairs behind, one of the same grand sedan chairs was Wang Hao's, after he got off the sedan chair, he stood next to Cai Jing stupidly, although it was tied, but the momentum was obviously shorter than Cai Jing, he was the governor of the political affairs, and he was the deputy prime minister.

The last small sedan chair made Wu Zhi's face change slightly, because the last sedan chair was actually sitting in Zhu Mian, and his sedan chair only stopped when he just arrived at the end of the hundred official ranks.

"The emperor's father-in-law is really unprincipled!"

Wu Zhi muttered secretly in his heart, Cai Jingtong and Wang Huang They have a sedan chair to sit on, after all, they are the top officials of the Great Song Dynasty, but what is Zhu Mian? With the flower stone gang in his hand, he searched around for the people to work hard and hurt money to make those broken stones to please the emperor, and there was even a sedan chair to sit on, and it was the treatment of not having to get off the sedan chair when he entered the palace gate!

Such a favor, even a royal relative like Murong Yanda, the princes and the royal family, can't enjoy it!

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi's heart darkened a little, even though Zhao Ji, whom he begged yesterday, looked at him differently, but if it was compared to Zhu Mian's status in Zhao Ji's heart, it was still far behind! After all, Zhu Mian has been in business for many years, and it is not something that Wu Zhi can surpass in a day or two.

…………

After Zhu Mian got off the sedan chair, there were many officials who were much higher than him who stepped forward to take the initiative to say hello, and the intention of flattering was obvious.

"This Zhu Mian is very well-connected among low-level officials, and many low-level officials have accepted his benefits, and even secretly formed a party with him."

There is only that Yushi and Wuzhi left here, and Yushi saw that Wuzhi didn't go to climb, so he had a good impression and couldn't help but explain for Wuzhi.

"Since he is good at making friends with officials, why didn't he make friends with Lord Song?" Wu Zhi asked with a smile.

This imperial history is surnamed Song, called Song Cheng, and he has just been introduced.

"I'm the Imperial History!" Song Cheng opened his eyes and said disdainfully: "Although this Zhu Mian befriended the officials and acted generously, but he was unscrupulous and extremely bad when he harmed the people, as the imperial history of the supervising hundred officials, I was already ashamed to be involved in him, how could I make friends with such a person?" ”

"Don't talk about making friends, if you get close to him, I feel sick!" Song Cheng said angrily.

"So, Lord Song has visited him?" Wu Zhi was a little surprised.

"Participated five times!" Song Cheng's expression darkened, and he said helplessly: "It's just that the official family trusts him, and every time they refute my recitals lightly...... Ay! This person is too cunning, I don't know when the official family will not be deceived by it! ”

Wu Zhi smiled bitterly with him, but didn't say anything more, but Wu Zhi secretly remembered the name Song Cheng in his heart.

It is really not easy to be able to stay true to your original intention and not be afraid of power in such a dim court, and to impeach Zhu Mian five times in succession, which requires not only courage, but also determination!

It seems that there are still many good officials in the court who are upright or can ask for the people's lives, Wu Zhi doesn't think that Song Cheng is the only one who is a good official, because Song Cheng impeached Zhu Mian five times in a row, and he was able to impeach Zhu Mian five times, but he has not been demoted and kicked out of Bianjing, which shows that there are people in the court who are on the same front as him, perhaps protecting him secretly.

"This person, you have to make good friends, when the time comes to attack Zhu Mian, this person may be able to help a lot!"

Wu Zhi secretly thought in his heart, Yushi, although this official position is not big, it is very important in the court, and no one dares to underestimate Yushi.

…………

Zhu Mian over there also noticed Wu Zhi at this time, and after seeing Wu Zhi, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he immediately put on a rebellious expression and walked straight to Wu Zhi.

"Yo! Isn't this a martial official! ”

After Zhu Mian walked to Wu Zhi's side, his tone became yin and yang, and the officials around him who were beating horses were all around him, and his eyes were full of drama and abuse when he looked at Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi finally understood now why their expressions were so strange when he greeted those officials just now, that is- looking down on their own expressions.

The line of officials was very long, and before the official court meeting, everyone gathered to chat, and Murong Yanda in front couldn't take care of Wu Zhi in the back.

"It's the first time for a military official to go to the court, come and ......" Zhu Mian looked around at the officials on the left and right, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, this is the big businessman Wu Zhiwu official in Qingzhou, and now he has entered the court as an official!" It's not easy! The experience of Wu Daguan is not simple! ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed, and the meaning of that laughter was obviously to mock Wu Zhi's merchant background.

"Why isn't it easy?" A short and fat official deliberately asked Zhu Miandao.

"From a guy who sells baked cakes in the streets and alleys, to now a high-sounding official of the Great Song Dynasty who is listed with you, do you think this is simple?" Zhu Mian ruthlessly uncovered Wu Zhi's old bottom in public.

"Sigh......"

Everyone sighed, they basically read sage books since they were children, and they were born as jinshi in the entrance examination, in the eyes of these readers, it is simply a shame to be an official in the same dynasty as Wu Zhi, a nouveau riche who was still selling baked cakes in his twenties.

His previous reputation was just a matter of fame and fame.

Wu Zhi frowned tightly, looked at Zhu Mian coldly, and did not speak, he was the first time to come to the court, and he was ranked last, and this official came really wrong, he was already a little ashamed here, and he could only fall into Zhu Mian's trap by arguing, so he was further ridiculed.

Wu Zhi could only endure secretly without speaking, and he couldn't wait to devour the arrogant Zhu Mian alive in front of him!

"Okay, okay, the hour has come, don't you go to court?" Song Cheng came forward to help Wu Zhi, in fact, he also felt that Wu Zhi was not qualified to come to the court, but fortunately, after chatting a few words just now, it was Zhu Mian's provocation, so he naturally helped.

The time has indeed come, Zhu Mian and the others were speechless when they saw Wu Zhi's ridicule, and they were also very satisfied with the queue to tidy up their clothes and prepare to go to court.

"Sooner or later, I will let you know Lao Tzu's methods!" Wu Zhi gritted his teeth fiercely.
