Chapter 90: The World Is Impermanent
"My lord! My lord! ”
Zhao Yezheng, the young secretary of Dali Temple, was absentmindedly looking at a few files, and saw two green-robed officials break in, and shouted in a panic: "That demon ...... Ah no, the Zen master who protects the country came to our Dali Temple, saying that he was ordered to try a case! ”
Zhao Ye slowly put the file on the table, glanced at the little official, and frowned: "Even if the national teacher is in person, you shouldn't lose your dignity like this - you are just a first-time offender, and the official will write it down first, if there is a next time, don't blame the official for counting the crimes and punishing him."

The two little officials hurriedly roared and ran to report the news, but they didn't expect to be in the first row, and their faces suddenly looked at each other as if they had eaten bitter melons, and then they said: "My lord, we have already convicted of the crime, but I don't know how to deal with the national teacher?" ”
Zhao Ye waved his hand impatiently and ordered: "You go down first, entertain the national teacher well, and wait for the official to sort it out a little, and then go out to meet him." ”
The purpose of the two officials to ask for instructions here was to know how to treat the monk Wukong, and since they had obtained the letter, they also went out to inform their colleagues.
"Bitter!"
said that Zhao Ye saw that there was no one in the house, and his face also fell.
Now this Dali Temple Zhengqing is the prime minister Wang Huang concurrently, so Wang Hao can be said to be Zhao Ye's double boss.
And Wang Hao is now as strong as Cai Jingyu's party, not to mention, he is still the hardcore of Shenxiao Zhenren Lin Lingsu, and he naturally doesn't have much interest in Wu Kai, the Zen master who protected the country invited by Cai Jing-it is precisely because of Wang Hao and Lin Lingsu behind the scenes, that the government and the opposition will have such a bad opinion of Wu Kai.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Ye is now in a dilemma.
Warmly receive the monk Wukong, for fear of provoking the dissatisfaction of the boss and giving him small shoes to wear; Ignore Monk Wukong, but people are here by order, if they take the opportunity to slander in front of the officials, they will not be pleased.
"Trouble, it's really a big trouble that fell from the sky!"
He beat his chest and complained for a while, but he had to obediently greet him - the so-called lesser of two evils, it is better to be remembered by Wang Huang than to provoke the national teacher and Song Huizong.
Of course, if you can, it's best to be able to not offend both.
However, it was said that when Zhao Ye arrived in front of the main hall of Dali Temple, he saw a group of green petty officials surrounding a black-faced monk wearing a purple and gold robe in the center, and the sky was dark.
He also hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "The unknown national teacher is coming, and the lower officials have missed the distance, and I ask the national teacher to forgive me." ”
Someone next to him immediately reported Zhao Ye's official title and surname: "National Teacher, this is our Lord Zhao Ye Zhao, the current position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple." ”
"Lord Zhao is very polite." Wu Kai also stepped forward to help him, and said in an official tone: "The poor monk also has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I am afraid that I will have to ask Lord Shaoqing to make it convenient for me to borrow this hall." ”
"It should be, it should be, since the national teacher is here by the emperor's order, my Dali Temple should fully cooperate, how can I get a 'borrow' word?" Zhao Ye said with a smile on his face: "Does the National Teacher want to interrogate the criminal officer Chen Chong now, or go to Houya to rest for a while......
"Let's interrogate him now, after a few months of delay, it's time to make a decision."
"Then invite the National Teacher to come in and take a seat, and the lower official will let someone bring that Chen Chong!"
While speaking, Zhao Ye welcomed Wu Kai into the hall, and after a few words, he invited Wu Kai to the main seat to sit, and then ordered someone to summon the three classes of officials to the hall, and each stood on both sides with water and fire sticks.
Although Wu Kai was ordered to try the case this time, this is the main hall of Dali Temple after all, and according to the rules, Zhao Ye must observe the trial and leave a record for future generations to inquire.
Therefore, Zhao Ye asked people to take a slightly smaller public case and placed it not far from the left side of Wu Kai in the lobby.
It didn't take long for Zhao Ye to prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for recording, when he heard the shouting of the officials outside the lobby: "Prisoner Chen Chong is here!" ”
Zhao Ye hurriedly stood up and arched his hand at Wu Kai, and said solemnly: "Dare to ask the National Teacher, but do you want to be promoted to the court to ask about the case?" ”
Although this question is purely superfluous, but the rules are like this, Wu Kai had no choice but to nod cooperatively, and then listened to the little officials beside Zhao Ye singing at the top of his voice: "The old man is ascending to the hall~ bring people to commit crimes!" ”
"Mighty~~!!"
With the sound of the hall that dragged on, I saw Chen Chong, who was described as haggard, and walked into the hall step by step under the hostage of the two officials.
"It's you?!"
Originally, Chen Chong was quite calm, but when he saw clearly who was sitting on it, he suddenly became excited, slammed forward, leaned forward and gritted his teeth and shouted: "It's you, it's really you!" I knew you ......."
Looking at this very resentful look, it is obvious that he already knows the affair between Wu Kai and his wife - it seems that even in this prison, it is inevitable to pass a few gossips to each other.

Before Chen Chong could shout something, Zhao Ye on the side suddenly picked up the startling wood and slapped it, and reprimanded angrily: "That criminal official is rampant, if you dare to roar in the court again, it will be the national teacher who is willing to spare you, and this official will not spare you - kneel down quickly, and wait for the fate!" ”
If Wu Kai opened his mouth to scold, Chen Chong might dare to say a few words against him under shame and indignation, but when Zhao Ye came forward, he suddenly died down, and then the officials on both sides made a little effort, and he knelt down in the lobby again.
Chen Chong's kneeling made Wu Kai sigh a little impermanently: I remember that when I met with this Chen Chong for the first time, in order to get a little profit, I could only kneel in front of him to meet the horse - at that time, this Chen Chong was not even interested in looking at himself!
But it was only a little more than a year, and this form changed dramatically - Chen Chong became a prisoner, and he not only sat on top of this public court, holding the power of life and death of Chen Chong, but also slept with his wife at home......
Wu Kai was full of emotion here, but Zhao Ye had some misunderstandings on the side, thinking that Wu Kai didn't know how to interrogate the prisoner, so he hurriedly stood up and bowed down and asked, "My lord, do you want to take a look at the file of this case first?" There may be some text on it for you to refer to. ”
There are records of previous interrogations in that file, and as long as you follow the records and ask questions according to the gourd, there will not be too many mistakes.
Who knew that Wu Kai didn't appreciate it, and waved his hand and said: "No need, this case is already very clear and clear, and the poor monk only needs to ask him a few questions, and it is enough to see his attitude of confessing his guilt and subduing the law." ”
As he spoke, he asked in a tone and pun: "Chen Chong, have you ever been resentful when you have fallen to this step of the field now?" ”
