With a crisp snap, the tea cup shattered into thousands of pieces on the wall, and the broken porcelain pieces that fell to the ground could no longer see the delicacy of the official kiln.

Just smashed his beloved tea set, Gong Yuan panted like a bull, his eyes were red, and his wife and concubine were watching at the foot of the wall, but they didn't dare to come over to persuade him.

"Look at what, don't come and clean it up!"

Gong Yuan raised his eyebrows and yelled at his wife and concubine, and with a blue face, he stepped out of the door and shouted: "Someone." ”

When the personal companion rubbed over carefully, Gong Yuan glared at him, "Go and prepare the carriage and horses." ”

"Yes." The companion didn't dare to ask more, and left in a hurry after answering.

Nowadays, horse-drawn carriages are also cheap, and low-grade court officials in the past, let alone carriages, can't even afford horses. Now the price of pulling a horse is much cheaper, and the carriage is cheaper. A chariot is equipped with two horses, as long as there are not many relatives to support, the officials who can reach ten times a month can afford to be able to match the carriage and horses if they want to match. It's just that it is more difficult to have a house in the capital and put the stables and carriages than to buy a horse or a carriage.

Unless he lives outside the city, it would be good for an official of Gong Yuan's level to have a set of rooms with two entrances and backs. Where is there a place to put a carriage? You can't even keep a horse.

Fortunately, in the inner square where the eunuchs lived, there would be many car drivers and horse breeders waiting for someone to hire the carriage and horses. If you want a carriage, it's just to let the subordinates walk a few more steps.

While waiting for the next person to hire the carriage, Gong Yuan went back and quickly changed his clothes, and then paced back and forth in the courtyard.

The wooden boots stepped on the stone slabs in the courtyard, clattering heavily and loudly, and I wanted to stomp the slate to pieces. As soon as he heard a sound in the alley outside, he immediately walked out.

Companion hurriedly entered the door and almost collided with Gong Yuan.

"Why is it so slow?" Gong Yuan glared, and as he spoke, he lined up and went out.

I went down two steps and stooped down the door and sat down.

The companion hurriedly followed, closed the car door, stepped on the pedal outside the car door, and stood firmly.

"Why don't you leave?" Gong Yuan passed through the window and rushed to the road.

"Let's go." The handlebar-style ears were pointed, and when he heard it, he first waved a whip in the air, gave a sound, and then said, "I just haven't asked the big officials where they are going." ”

Gong Yuan's voice lowered a little, and he only said to his companion, "Dunyifang." ”

The companion answered, looked up and said to the coachman, "Go to Dunyifang." ”

"Is it the Privy Council?"

"That's it!" Gong Yuan was not angry.

The companion spoke loudly, "It's the Privy Council of Zhang." ”

The handlebar style of the old road is well-informed, which does not know the eyebrows are high and the eyes are low. Seeing Gong Yuan's late mother's face and angry look, he didn't ask much. With a shout, he drove on the road. As for how much the car will cost and whether you want a car when you come back, you will calculate it with your companion later.

Gong Yuan suppressed the fire in his belly, and after getting into the car, he still felt that his heart was burning in a panic.

A few days ago, the Queen Mother was instigated by the political affairs hall and ordered Kaifeng Mansion to catch beggars all over the city.

In the name of chasing criminals, there are countless people who rush into people's homes. A few days ago, the son of a relative who opened a shop in Dongcheng ran to Gong Yuan's side and cried, saying that the patrol of the main compartment rushed into his house and went around, and then robbed a bunch of belongings and left, several sets of gold and silver utensils, and even took more than 100 yuan of cash, and arrested the relative himself.

Gong Yuan was furious when he heard this, first looking for an old friend in Taiwan, and after coming back, he wrote a chapter overnight, complained to the Queen Mother, and then wrote a letter to Kaifeng Mansion.

There is no result in the above table, he is no longer in the Yushitai, but has returned to the Guozijian - this still depends on Jinling's side to speak in front of Zhang Dian, otherwise he will go out - the recital of ordinary courtiers, if you want to hand it to the desk of the queen mother, you must go through the political affairs hall, and you know that it must have been stopped by the minister. Not to mention Gong Yuan himself, even the three or two bullet seals of the Yushitai were also pressed down by the Queen Mother.

This was originally expected by Gong Yuan, but now the Queen Mother simply ignored the recital of the Taiwan admonition, and listened to and believed the ministers. But when someone from the table came to the table, the momentum rose - although the impeachment of the imperial history was much less than he expected.

But the reaction from Kaifeng Mansion made him intolerable.

Han Zhongyan, the new prefect, directly gave the case to his relatives to inspect the compartment, and then today, he wrote a post to Gong Yuan. It was explained that the arrest was due to the fact that he had colluded with the beggar to sell the stolen goods for the beggar, and the things that were taken were also seized as evidence of the crime of colluding with the beggar and the thief to sell the stolen goods for him. Now it has been ascertained that he had no connection with the beggars, but only received the stolen goods by mistake. All seized exhibits will be returned, except for stolen goods.

The relatives who had just been released from prison only went back to take a shower, changed their clothes, and came to the door to thank them, along with a bunch of gifts.

In front of Gong Yuan, the relatives are very grateful, the first is to be exempted from the lawsuit, and the second is to recover most of the losses, this is already a great celebration, ordinary people have entered the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, and they don't take off their skin, how can they come out in peace? Moreover, he actually coveted the benefits of the beggars by day and the thieves by the night—the stolen goods were too cheap.

But Gong Yuan was not satisfied. He asked his relatives if the things were returned, but not all of them, and the details were only more than seventy percent.

Can face still be discounted? At that time, Gong Yuan was furious.

If he was still in Yushi Taizhong, let alone deducting from the things to be returned, even if his relatives blocked the door and made a name on that day, the inspectors would be so frightened that they would crawl away, and the inspectors involved would have to run over to compensate for it.

When his relatives left, Gong Yuan couldn't bear the fire in his heart anymore, and immediately decided to go to Zhangdun Mansion to talk about it.

Han Gang is now becoming more and more arbitrary, relying on the favor of the Queen Mother to act arbitrarily, treating the two mansions as mud tires in the temple.

This time, he attacked the beggars, apparently for the sake of Tuntian in Yunnan, and sent people over as much as possible, but on the other hand, it was also to further control the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division. When he really achieved his goal, would he still be able to live in the Privy Council?

Along the way, Gong Yuan organized his rhetoric against Zhang Dian in his heart, how to persuade this high-ranking privy envoy.

When I arrived at Dunyifang, the street where Zhangfu was located was still busy and overcrowded.

Gong Yuan got out of the car at the entrance of the alley, jumped down with the handlebar, bowed his waist and asked, "Official, do you want the villain to wait for you to come out?" ”

"Don't wait, I don't know when it will come out."

Gong Yuan shook his head, he wanted to discuss important matters with Zhang Dian, and he would have Zhangfu's car when he went back. Let the companion and the handlebar meet the banknotes, and then go to the gate of Zhangfu.

Seeing him, Gong Yuan put away the anger on his face a little, and asked his companion to step forward, "Tell him, tell the privy councillor, and ask Gong Yuan to see him in the history museum." ”

Gong Yuan behaved like this, and the others in front of the door looked sideways.

The door is not delivered, the gatekeeper is not guarded, standing at the door and waiting for the Zhang Mansion to open the door to greet him.

This posture, isn't it a relative of Zhangdun's family, or is it because of some identities?

There were also officials who knew Gong Yuan in the crowd, and when the name spread, someone immediately came up to salute and greet him.

Someone came over to ask a question, and the anxiety in Gong Yuan's heart gradually eased a little, and while greeting people, he waited for the two Si Yan to go in and pass the word.

But neither of the two priests moved, and Gong Yuan's companion had already repeated it again, but one watched coldly in front of the door, and the other welcomed the other official into the gatehouse.

In the blink of an eye, the officials who were still greeting Gong Yuan dispersed one after another, and the officials who had just come up one step later sneered on the side.

How can a mere one who is in charge of the official affairs of the Gou Guozi Supervisor and the History Museum be able to enter directly when he arrives at the Privy Council's Mansion?

The fire in Gong Yuan's heart came up again, stepped forward, and said to one of the priests: "Yu Fu! Don't hurry up and report to the privy councillor, saying that Gong Yuan has important matters to discuss, so don't delay the big thing. ”

That Yu Fu only took a step back, saluted Gong Yuan, and said with a humble smile: "Gong Guanren is gentle." Gong officials and villains know each other, but the house has its own rules, except for the privy council's first order, or agreed in advance, others want to pay homage to the privy, must be issued a name post, to be passed on in the house. He also asked Gong Guanren to ask the noble servant to give the villain a name post, so as not to make it difficult for the villain. It was the official who came in a hurry, and there was no name post for a while, and there were empty name posts and pen and ink in the concierge, and the officials could go in and write and hand them to the villain. ”

Gong Yuan almost gritted his teeth, he came to visit in the past, and whether he brought his name or not, Zhang Dian would not turn him away. Today he walked in a hurry, without a name post, but when he entered the gatehouse, where did his face go?

He held back his breath and said in a cold voice, "I am familiar with the privy, and you will know it when you go to report to the privy." ”

"The villain knows that the official is familiar with the privy, and he also knows that the official often came to the house a few years ago, but the villain was born in the army, and he has been following the privy since Jingnan, and he only knows that his fate cannot be violated. How dare the villain disobey the rules laid down by the Privy Council? At present, the villain makes the official angry, and when he turns his head, the privy councillor will definitely beat the villain to make the official angry. But if you violate the order of the privy council and deal with it according to military law, the villain will be dealt with more severely than the board. Please also ask the officials to sympathize with the hard work of the villain. ”

Gong Yuan's eyes were completely cold, this Si Yan was completely aimed at himself. He gritted his teeth, "You're good talkers." ”

Yu Fu has been the secretary of Zhangfu for many years, and of course he knows Gong Yuan.

At the earliest, Gong Yuan was Wang Anshi's disciple to Zhang Dan, and Zhang Duan had only planned to reuse him. It's a pity that Gong Yuan chose the wrong path, and he is no longer a cronie of the master of the mansion, but a rebel. With such a person, how could Yu Fu not dare to offend?

"If the villain takes the name post but refuses to pass it on, it is the villain's fault. But if you don't even have a name post, you want to enter the door of the privy council, but it's a mistake. Could it be that going to other ministers' mansions, Guan Gou is also so rude? ”

Gong Yuan stared at him a few times, didn't say much, turned his head and brushed his sleeves away.

So many officials and the subordinates of the officials' families are watching, and his face can be said to be completely lost.

Walking towards the entrance of the alley, I heard someone talking.

"What a sharp tooth, no wonder let him be the secretary."

"That's right, why does my lord want to hand over the door, and this Gong official can not use it? My lord's official position is a little higher. ”

"Think too highly of yourself, on the Privy Council, you don't even prepare a famous post, do you think you are Hanlin?"

Walking through the crowd and walking to the alley, Gong Yuan was annoyed and angry, and his face was red.

"Redacting."

"What's wrong?"

"It's all other people's cars parked here, and the villain has to go outside to hire it first, please edit it and wait a minute."

When Gong Yuan heard this, he wanted to attack, but in the end, he waved his hand weakly, "You go." ”
