Chapter 4: The Clouds Sweep the Short Canopy (4)
γ2nd Updateγ
Huzhou Tongju Tie stood in the courtyard with a blue face, he didn't expect Su Shi to be so rude.
The ancestral family is also a scholarly family, and there are Jinshi from generation to generation. Zu Wupo's clan brother Zu Wuxuan can be regarded as a famous minister in the world, and he is extremely old, and he has achieved the right to know Kaifeng Mansion when he was Renzong. It's just that the luck is not very good, because of the disgrace left by the same time as Wang Anshi when he was the intellectual system, other people's officials have become bigger and bigger in the past ten years, and Zu Wuxuan's officials are getting smaller and smaller. But Zu Wupo is still not the object that Su Shi can be rude.
Zu Wupo's staff came over at this time, and whispered in his ear, "Something must have happened, otherwise Su Zizhan would not have lost his temper like this." β
"Gaffe ......"
Zu Wupo read these two words, and his expression eased. If it was really something big in the Su family, Su Shi's faux pas would be nothing. In this life, there will be this time. When he looked at the screen door of the inner courtyard, there was a little more sympathy in his eyes.
"The matter of the Bao Chi Bureau, since Su Zhishi has been handed over to Wupo with full authority to dispose of, then immediately forward the official letter of Cao Si to the county, presumably no county will delay in this matter."
The staff nodded in response, and then said with a smile: "Surely no one will dare to delay, this matter will drag on for a day, and the people under his rule will be able to eat him." Perhaps, before he could be urged, someone was sent up. β
Zu Wupo sighed: "If only they could be half happy when Xia and Autumn pay their taxes." β
The staff shook their heads: "It's hard to give up good money......"
The two guests and hosts were gossiping, and they prepared to go back to the hall where the general judge was judged. There's still a bunch of business to do.
But outside the main gate of the Yamen, there was a commotion at this time. The front of the door Si Yan's yaqian immediately ran over, "Jingli sent Yushi here, saying that Su Zhishi had committed an accident and wanted to come in from the middle door." β
"Middle Gate?!" Zu Wupo's face changed drastically.
There are three gates of the state government, and only the side door is always open for people to walk, that is, to know the state and pass the judgment, and usually to walk through the side door. The main gate in the middle will only be opened when Xinzhizhou takes office, as well as ceremonies such as the New Year's Day ceremony and the spring whipping cow. Of course, when the people of the DPRK and China are tasked with such an important mission as proclamation, they will also demand that the door of the Central Committee be opened widely.
If Su Shi didn't have Su Shi's panicked appearance, maybe Zu Wupo could still think that Su Shi had won the Holy Favor and would be of great use. But now it seems that it must be bad news.
Knowing that most of the people who came were carrying the emperor's order, Zu Wupo did not dare to delay, and hurriedly sent someone to open the middle gate, and the future envoy welcomed into the state government.
He came to wear court clothes, hold a wat board, and stand in the court. His eyes were cold, looking left and right. He has two companions by his side, both of whom are dressed in white and green scarves, with iron cards hanging from their waists, as long as they know a little about the officialdom in Beijing, they will know their origins, which is the Yushitai that everyone among the officials is afraid of - they are the pawns of the Yushitai!
Hearing the news, the big and small officials in the state government, except for Su Shi, all came out, and the leading ancestor Wupo trembled, although he knew that most of today's events had nothing to do with him, but when he saw the people in Wutaizhong, he still couldn't help but panic in his heart.
I only heard a Taiwanese official shouting and asking: "Supervising the Imperial History, Dr. Taichang is here, where is Su Shi in Zhizhou?!" β
There was no movement in the inner courtyard.
When I asked again, there was still no movement.
The eyes of all the officials looked at Zu Wupo, and Zu Wupo was helpless, and said: "Zhizhou has recently taken leave due to illness. β
"Please go and urge it!" The guard commanded, "Carry it too!" β
Zu Wupo raised his eyes to look at the emperor. The imperial history from the capital didn't even give a straight eye, and didn't pay attention to it at all.
Huzhou Tongju sighed secretly, but he could only listen to the orders of the guards and knock on the screen door in the backyard.
The dark door creaked open, allowing Zu Wupo to walk in. A group of people stood inside the screen door, and even Su Shi was among them, and everyone's faces were as pale as dirt.
"What the hell is going on?" Zu Wupo asked.
Su Shi was uneasy, "Don't hide it from the public, it is Li Ding in the imperial history who impeached Su Shi for slandering the government." I just got an urgent report from my disciples, who would have thought that people would arrive now. β
After Zu Wupo heard the reason, he was not surprised at all, it was strange to slander the government. sighed: "The matter has come to this, there is nothing to do, we must see it." β
"Ah...... That's right. Su Shi had no idea at all, and he was about to go out when he raised his feet.
"Naoshi...... Clothes! Clothes! Zu Wupo hurriedly reminded.
Su Shi looked down and saw that what he was wearing was still a casual dress for going out to play. Shaking his head: "If you are guilty, you must not wear court clothes." β
"Unknown crimes, still should be seen in court clothes." Zu Wupo reminded.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you for the point. The incident happened in a hurry, and Su Shi was already out of order. β
Su Shi immediately changed into court clothes as he said, and went out to see the envoy from the capital with a wat board in hand. Behind him, Zu Wupo and a group of officials lined up left and right.
But after Su Shi and the others stood in front of him, the emperor didn't speak, and his eyes like eagles and wolves scanned the officials in Huzhou, as if he was searching for something. And the two Imperial Historian guards standing behind him were also silent. This attitude was very strange, which made the hearts of every Huzhou official present more and more uneasy.
Su Shi's heart sank little by little. Although he was informed by his younger brother Su Zhe, Su Zhe had already listened to Wang Xu's urgent report, and Wang Shu and Su Zhe did not dare to leave words, so they only let people pass on the word. Coupled with the thousands of miles of hurried to deliver the letter, anyone will only think about it.
In the hand of one of the servants, he held a stick-like thing about the length of a ruler, wrapped in blue brocade. It may be a scroll with an edict or a script, but that kind of shape, it may also be a dagger - many people have the same guess in their hearts, could it be given to Su Shi for his own use?
Su Shi's face was gray, and his hands were trembling: "Su Shi has been negligent in his tongue and ink, and he has been annoyed by the court a lot. β
The ancestor Wupo in the back was relieved, he couldn't see Su Shi's face, but Su Shi's mind finally recovered his clarity.
If you don't understand the details of the emperor's life first, maybe it is the result of Cao Yu being forced to death by Yang Huaimin. With such a low-profile question, the emperor should have answered.
It is indeed difficult for the emperor to pretend to be dumb anymore, and replied briefly: "Not so." β
Finally let the emperor open his mouth, and now it's time to ask what the crime is and how to deal with it. But Zu Wupo almost burned Su Shi's back out with his eyes, and he didn't see his boss ask again.
Zu Wupo couldn't help it, and said: "Dabo was ordered to go out of Beijing, and there must be a text!" β
Huangfu's eyes suddenly sharpened again.
This sentence is clearly a warning! Huzhou Tongju uses his official rank, not the dispatch of the supervising imperial history to call him Huangfu, which is clearly a warning, and the Zhizhou and Tongju who are present are all above him, and they are not low-grade officials who can be bullied.
After looking Zu Wu up and down for a while, Huang Fu asked slowly in a gloomy tone, "Who is Jun?" β
Zu Wupo was only regarded as a common name among his colleagues, and bowed his hand: "The general judgment is that Zu Wupo is now in power." β
Huangfu stared at Zu Wupo again, reached out and made a move back, and the pawn handed him the green silk package in understanding.
The cyan silk silk was opened layer by layer, and everyone was relieved to see what was exposed, not a dagger, nor an edict made of silk paper, but just an ordinary inscription on the back of the plain paper. And the content is even more reassuring, it's just an ordinary chase and dispatch, but Su Shi slandered the court with poetry and texts, and brought him to Beijing for interrogation. It's still serious, but it's much better than giving death or something.
Su Shi bowed his head in a daze, and took off his clothes on the spot.
Su Shi pleaded guilty, and Huzhou was headed by Zu Wupo. Seeing that the errand of the temporary state affairs was going to be done for several months, he sighed secretly, and Zu Wupo stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Yu Shi has worked hard from afar, and he will order someone to arrange food and lodging in the future, and he will not be treated." β
"Don't bother." Huangfu said coldly, and after a look, the two guards shook off a piece of practice and tied Su Shi's hands.
There was an uproar in the court, and Zu Wupo also asked in surprise: "Is this ...... Why is that? β
"With your fate, how dare you delay for a moment? The emperor is going to return to Beijing to resume his life. β
The emperor turned around and left, and the two guards pulled the Su Lian in their hands, and Su Shi was pulled and stumbled to follow.
The screen door of the inner courtyard opened, and Su Shi's wife and children, who were listening to the news inside, ran out, crying and shouting to follow.
Su Shi's continuation, Wang Yanzhi, held his youngest son Su Guo, the eldest son Su Mai, and the second son Su Yu chased after him, and Teng's concubines and servants poured out together. The concubines of the Su family are known for their beauty and have always been admired by their peers, but now no one looks at them twice. They all looked at Su Shi's staggered back, and fell into the emotions of the rabbit dead and the fox hurting his emotions.
Wang Gong also followed the people of the Wang family, his face was pale, and the whole person was sluggish. Su Shi had an accident because of his poetry, and the friends who sang and made peace with him probably won't be able to please him.
At this point, the news had reached the outside.
Su Shi likes to feast, with prostitutes and music classes, and his footprints are everywhere in the scenic spots in Huzhou. As soon as I heard that Mr. Su was going to hold a banquet and compose poems, everyone who had time was interested in the past.
In the past few months, Su Shi's fame has been boundless in Huzhou, and the poems are one after another, and the people in the city also like to listen to Mr. Su's new words. At this time, Bachelor Su was arrested by the imperial court to ask for the crime, and they all rushed over for a while, but no one dared to block the way of the emperor, and could only watch Su Shi being pulled out of the city step by step, and many people had tears in their eyes.
In the chaos, only Zu Wupo remained clear and took the lead in stopping the people of the Su family.
"You have to send someone to follow Naoshi." Zu Wupo reminded, looking at Su Shi's eldest son, Su Mai.
Su Mai immediately understood Zu Wupo's intentions, and turned around to say to Wang Yanzhi, "Mother, the child will follow his father and serve by his side, and he will not let the adult lose." β
Wang Yanzhi wiped his tears and hurriedly ordered the two servants he was used to on weekdays, "You follow the master and the eldest man, and serve for a good life." He hurriedly asked people to go back to pack up their clothes and money, and asked Su Mai to take them.
The Su family was busy for a while, and when Su Mai followed with someone, Su Shi had already been dragged to the official boat with his hands tied. The emperor really refused to delay at all, and was going to the capital that day.
Following behind, seeing the Imperial History Terrace Pawn pulling a Taishou like a dog and chicken, Zu Wupo shuddered, and the deep glance that the emperor threw after the most reluctance made him feel cold in his heart-
This case is not small, but don't plant yourself in it.
