The silent whip rang three times, and hundreds of officials congratulated

Duan Jian was still quite familiar with this scene, but it was only when he looked up at the surrounding and the puppet-like figure sitting on the dragon chair after saluting that Duan Jian felt a little bit of a sense of being a human being.

The Qianyuan Palace is not as magnificent as the Daming Palace in Chang'an, but it has a bit more magnificent atmosphere, it may be that Luoyang itself has a little bit of wealth, or the builder deliberately decorated it in order to please Wu Zetian, anyway, in Duan Jian's eyes, the chaotic scene is much better than the Daming Palace in Chang'an.

Because of his humble status, the distance from the dragon shelter is not close, therefore, after starting the formal court recital, the voice of the person in front of him was high and low, at the beginning, Duan Jian was still listening attentively, and he wanted to hear if there was any key information, but after listening to it for a long time, he was completely dead.

After all, the current emperor Li Dan is just a puppet, which makes the so-called early dynasty like an ornament, and when it comes to urgent matters, whether it is a courtier or a foreign minister, it will be sent to the Zhenguan Hall where Wu Zetian lives.

Boredom, Duan Jian leaned on the pillar next to him and leisurely closed his eyes to recuperate.

Looking at Duan Jian with his head little by little, Lai Junchen behind him was full of vicious thoughts, let him not pay attention, plant his head on the ground, and fall to death on the spot, even if he doesn't die, he will become a fool, and the worst will also make many courtiers and the queen mother see his true face clearly.

It's a pity, I don't know if it's because of Junchen's heart, what he thinks in his heart hasn't happened yet, although Duan Jian's head is little by little, but it's like a tumbler, no matter what.

Sitting on the dragon shelter, listening to the streamlined recital between Emperor Li Dan and many courtiers, Wu Zetian's eyes were scanning around.

His goal is self-evident, it is Duan Jian who went to court on the first day today.

As Wu Zetian's power grows, the loneliness in her heart is getting stronger and stronger, after all, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman, and women are often emotional.

Because she felt more and more lonely, she wanted to have someone close to her to accompany her, and Li Lingyue, the princess of Taiping, was the premier candidate, but unfortunately, Li Lingyue did not understand her intentions at all, but instead ate fasting and worshipping Buddha at home wholeheartedly, which seemed to be much quieter than before, but the hidden secrets were clear in Wu Zetian's heart.

At the end of the day, it's for one person.

Regarding Li Lingyue's current situation, Wu Zetian felt a little guilty in his heart, but whether it was the queen mother of the Tang Dynasty or her daughter's mother, she was not allowed to admit her mistakes to her daughter, and in desperation, she could only endure her sadness and hide everything in her heart.

Although he couldn't admit his mistake to his daughter, Wu Zetian still cared for her, with a face on his face, and he was a little more tolerant of Duan Jian, otherwise, even if Duan Jian had made a lot of credit before, there was no such affection in it, and he slapped Junchen, but it was not something that could be bypassed by being grounded for a month.

"When something happens, the trend retreats."

When the routine was over, the eunuch on duty shouted loudly in that very special voice.

If it was in the past, at this point, it would mean that today's court meeting is over, but today, there has been a change.

"Duan Jian and Duan Aiqing have been here."

Wu Zetian suddenly interjected.

Such a question is extremely abrupt, many officials are ready to bend down to salute, at this time can only stiffly bend down to straighten up again, for a while, there are countless muffled snorts in the hall, that is the back of some old ministers, because they can't stand the drastic changes, resulting in soreness, can't help but shout.

If it was someone else, when he heard Wu Zetian ask, he would definitely hurry out to answer, even if he hesitated a little, he would feel uneasy in his heart, for fear of evil Wu Zetian, but what made everyone feel puzzled and curious was that after Wu Zetian asked, no one responded to the entire hall for a long time, as if Duan Jian did not come.

Of course, Duan Jian couldn't have not come, but he fell asleep, in the winter, he didn't wake up in the first place, got up in the morning, rode to the outside of the palace in the cold wind, and boarded outside for a long time, Duan Jian couldn't stand it for a long time, and now after entering the main hall, it seems to have entered spring, and he is really bored, leaning on the big pillar, he fell asleep, which is why his head will be little by little.

"Duan Jian, where is Duan Bufan."

Wu Zetian's face was also a little blue at this time, for so many years, since he advocated the government, he had never met such a bold courtier, and he deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb at the court meeting, Wu Zetian had already made up his mind, no matter how Princess Taiping pleaded this time, he must be punished well, so that he will never dare to have the slightest unruly in the future.

In any case, Wu Zetian couldn't imagine that Duan Jian didn't deliberately pretend to be deaf and dumb, but because he fell asleep, he didn't hear it at all.

Looking at Duan Jian, who was sleeping very sweetly, and listening to Wu Zetian's increasingly stern shout, Lai Junchen swept away the gloomy and lost look just now, and became extremely excited, if it weren't for the fact that he was in the Great Hall of the Tang Dynasty here, he might have moved a stool, held a bag of melon seeds, and waited to see a good show.

He very much wanted to know how the Empress Dowager would punish him if he let the Queen Mother know that Duan Jian was actually bold enough to doze off in the court.

It's a pity that Lai Junchen's wishful thinking didn't play very well, and just when he was gloating, the sixth sense instantly felt a cold light scanning him.

Looking around, the smugness and smile on his face completely disappeared, and the person looking at him was none other than Wu Zetian, who was high above.

At first, Wu Zetian didn't pay attention to the existence of Lai Junchen, but after calling Duan Jian twice, but after not finding any trace of Duan Jian, she couldn't help but look around, she also knew that Duan Jian's official position was not high, and the position she occupied was very backward, so she directly crossed the people in front of her and looked at the back, and under this look, the anger in her heart rose even higher.

As his confidant, Lai Junchen saw that he was so embarrassed, not only did he not want to cover up for himself, but he laughed proudly where he was, didn't he deliberately come against himself, with such thoughts, how could she give Lai Junchen a good face, and it was okay if she didn't immediately order him to cut him.

Although Lai Junchen doesn't have much knowledge, it doesn't mean that he is not smart, otherwise he wouldn't have gone from a small scoundrel to his current official position, Wu Zetian's thoughts, he immediately understood, but he understood it, and after understanding, he hated Duan Jian a little more in his heart.

"Bastard things, it's all you, it's all you, if it weren't for you, how could you offend the Queen Mother, why don't you die."

Looking at Duan Jian who was dozing off again, Lai Junchen's face was not smug and excited, but hatred, or hatred with flames.

No matter how unwilling Lai Junchen is, at this moment, he has only one choice, that is, to go up and wake up Duan Jian, the disaster star, otherwise, he dares to guarantee that what will happen to Wu Zetian after being unconsciously put on Duan Jian today, he doesn't know, but if he wants to get the weight of the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it will be whimsical.

After taking a quick step, Lai Junchen walked in front of Duan Jian, looked at Duan Jian who was still sleeping in front of him, and sighed in his heart, wanting to use a hard force to hit Duan Jian's head against the pillar, so as to wash away his shame, but reason told him that it was impossible, and it was okay secretly, but now in this kind of place, he can't do anything wrong.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, Lai Junchen slowly raised his right hand, ready to wake up Duan Jian who was asleep, but just when his fingers were about to touch Duan Jian, an accident happened.

"Ah, what are you doing, don't you want to take the opportunity to take revenge, tell you, stay away from me, otherwise, don't blame you for being unkind, when the time comes, you will be half dead, don't you look for me for revenge."

Before Lai Junchen's fingers touched Duan Jian, he saw Duan Jian open his eyes violently, and after being stunned for a moment, he pointed at Lai Junchen fiercely and said, looking around as he spoke, as if he was looking for witnesses.

Duan Jian's sudden awakening not only frightened him, but even Lai Junchen was completely stunned, he couldn't imagine how Duan Jian, who was still asleep just now, woke up in the blink of an eye.

It's a pity that all this was too sudden, and after Duan Jian's voice was high, for a while, in the entire silent hall, everyone looked at him with round eyes, as if they wanted to see what was going on between him and Duan Jian.

"Hmph, bastard, the top of the hall is so rude, if I don't teach you some lessons today, you won't know the laws and rules of the imperial court, come and drag the two of them out of the mourning family, and beat the twenty boards every day."

After Duan Jian shouted out, Wu Zetian's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't help but reprimand angrily.

"Well, wronged, the Queen Mother, Weichen is wronged, wronged, it's not about Weichen, it's all Duan Jian, it's all his responsibility."

Hearing that he was going to be beaten with twenty boards, Lai Junchen's face darkened, and he knelt on the ground with a 'poof' and wailed to Wu Zetian.

While howling, he also scolded Duan Jian from the beginning in his heart, and at the same time, he completely determined that Duan Jian was his disaster star, and from now on, he must stay away from him, every time he meets him, there is no good thing.

Compared to Lai Junchen, who was crying and pleading, Duan Jian was completely speechless, and after shouting that sentence, he immediately regretted it in his heart, because he thought of it, what kind of place is this, this is the court, even if Lai Junchen wants to take revenge on him, it is impossible to do it in this place, even if the birthday star drinks arsenic all the time, he is afraid of a long life.

It's just that regret is regret, but it's too late to regret it, I can only resign myself to fate, thinking that I am about to be hit by the twenty boards, and I am also scolding Lai Junchen in my heart, thinking that Lai Junchen is his own disaster star, in his previous life, it was he who hurt himself and was miserable, and he stinted for 10,000 years.

No matter how remorseful and angry the two of them were, they still honestly followed the golden gourd warrior in front of the hall to a small flat room next to the main hall.

Unlike the later Ming and Qing dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was still more respectful of scholars, not like the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the emperor was unhappy, he immediately pressed the ministers to the noon gate for the court staff, and every time he was beaten with his pants.

Two stools one foot wide and three feet long were placed in front of him, and it was clear from this that this stool must have been specially used to beat people's boards.

"Two eldest brothers, please be merciful later, the younger brother is a literati, his body is weak, if you use too much force in this important matter, the younger brother can't bear it, and you have no way to explain it to the Queen Mother."

At this time, Duan Jian couldn't care about his face for the sake of his ass, and begged for mercy from the two executed golden gourd warriors with a flattering face.

It's a pity that I don't know if the two golden gourd warriors were serious by nature, or they didn't take Duan Jian's words seriously at all, and ignored Duan Jian's plea, and as soon as one person shook his hand, Duan Jian snapped and fell the bench.

Just this moment, Duan Jian felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he almost stopped breathing.

Looking at Duan Jian's dead fish look, Lai Junchen's face was full of disdain, and he pouted and said, "It's a shame that you have been an official for so long, you don't even know this, these people only know how to act according to orders, and they don't pay attention to other people's pleas, not to mention that you are a small official, even when the prime minister of the dynasty arrives here, how should they fight or how to fight." ”

"Smack"

"Ahh

Lai Junchen originally wanted to show his erudition in front of Duan Jian, but unfortunately, before he finished pretending, he became treated with Duan Jian.

"One"

A gourd warrior shouted from the side.

"Smack"

Another gourd warrior stood behind the two of them with a thick plank the width of his palm, and then waved the plank in his hand as if he were beating wood, and struck it down hard.

"Ahh........h

Both shouted at the same time.

It's not that they want to shout, but that neither of them is a tenacious and unyielding hero, and they can't say anything about being a hero eighteen years later, so under the board, the two disarmed and surrendered at the same time.

"Two"

"Smack.....

"Ahh.......h

..............

The cold numbers and crisp sounds were driven by a terrible scream, which was really sad and tearful.

As if to let the parties fully appreciate the pain of being beaten on the board, the board is not fast, and there is a pause in the middle of the beating.

Even so, soon half of the board passed, which made Duan Jian feel a little strange, except for the first few boards, he found that the board on his ass seemed to be getting lighter and lighter, at first he thought that his ass was numb and had become accustomed to the intimacy with the board, but later, he found that this was not the case, Lai Junchen, who was with him on the board, every time the board went down, the screams were still quite sharp, which was in stark contrast to his feelings.

What surprised Duan Jian even more was that he seemed to see those golden gourd warriors looking at him and smiling, although the speed was fast, he felt that it was definitely not an illusion.
