Chapter 130: Outside Dali Temple
"The only way to do this is to find a way to drag it and see what the other party does, let's see the move, which is also a helpless move." Chen Yaozuo stroked his beard and nodded his head.
Li Ce began to worry secretly, thinking that it would be enough to find the teacher this time and have him to protect himself, but he didn't expect things to be so complicated, the most unlucky thing is himself, just in the eye of the storm, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed.
At this time, the door opened, and Mrs. Chen brought a pot of tea to the three of them, and she said softly as she walked: "It will scare the child, aren't you going to find Deng Guogong, the carriage is ready, and the people will rest later." β
"Ce'er, you stay here tonight, and go to Dali Temple tomorrow morning." Chen Yaozuo picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, and Mrs. Chen had already taken the clothes and put them on him.
"The two brothers who walked with me are still waiting for me at the inn, if I don't go back, they will be in a hurry, so let's go back." Li Ce also got up and walked out with Chen Yaozuo.
"It's okay, I'll go to Deng Guogong to discuss it first, and tomorrow I will go to Dali Temple with Deng Guogong as soon as possible, don't mess up." Chen Yaozuo got into the carriage and instructed Li Cedao.
The Deng Guogong he said in his mouth is Zhang Shixun, this person is now a six-book book, and now he is sixty-eight years old, and he also served as the prime minister in the Zhenzong Dynasty, and he is very respected in the court, and Chen Yaozuo has a very good personal relationship with him.
Nowadays, there are three forces in the dynasty, one is the ruling faction headed by Prime Minister Ding Wei, but the royalist faction headed by Chen Yaozuo and Zhang Shixun, and the third is the faction of the Empress Dowager Liu E, which also has the power of Zhao Ji, the king of Xiaoyuan.
"Tomorrow in Dali Temple? It's bad, Meng Huarong of Dali Temple and Ge Wenjing of Zuo Shaoqing are all proud protΓ©gΓ©s of Prime Minister Ding Wei, isn't this going to be bad? Chen Yaogang suddenly patted his head and said.
Li Ce's heart sank after hearing this, he looked at Chen Yaogang sadly, and said in his heart: Why are you so damn? The presiding judge is their man every time......
Early in the morning of the second day, the three of them arrived at Dali Temple early, and Li Ce repeatedly told Guan Zhen not to be reckless, and to act according to his eyes in everything, Guan Zhen's ears were calloused.
The Dali Temple of the Northern Song Dynasty was mainly responsible for hearing major cases, which can be said to be the highest court of that era. The highest prefect of Dali Temple is Dali Temple, which is the third product; A deputy is placed on the left and right for the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he is five products; However, the official who is really responsible for the trial of the case is Sizheng, who is the seventh product, with a total of four, and in case of difficult cases, they can discuss together.
Dali Temple looks extremely magnificent from the outside, two stone lions in front of the door, plus the base is two people high! Under the eaves are four vermilion stone pillars, each of which is a person thick, and then to the inside is the outer gate of Dali Temple, and the two gates are also vermilion, each with a zhang high.
When Li Ce and the others were watching, there was a sound of horses' hooves coming, and Ge Wenjing, the secretary of Dali Temple, came, and there was also a carriage with him.
The carriage stopped at the door, the curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged scribe in his forties slowly got out of the car, seeing that he was wearing a five-grade crimson official uniform, Li Ce guessed that this should be Ge Wenjing, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
This person is Ge Wenjing, the left Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he is slightly fat, and his long-term pampering makes his face a little pale and his hair is a little thin.
When he walked towards the door, he caught a glimpse of the three of them, stopped his footsteps, frowned and looked at them for a while, and said, "Who is Li Ce?" β
Li Ce knew that he was Ding Wei's person, and then looked at him with a high-minded appearance, and replied indifferently: "It's below." β
"What's the mess?" At this time, another carriage got down an official, who was walking over with official steps, he was the Dali Temple Cheng Fu Yongshou, the official position was from the six products, this person's greatest ability in life was to flatter and slap the horse.
Li Ce glanced at Fu Yongshou with disdain, and from the dark red official uniform he was wearing, he could see that he was only a sixth-grade official at most. I remember that in my previous life, everyone said that the highest contempt is speechlessness, and Li Ce didn't even bother to reply to him.
Fu Yongshou saw that Li Ce was neither humble nor arrogant, especially the disdain that he disregarded his existence, which made him extremely annoyed, and he wanted to mock him, but he didn't expect this kid to disdain to take care of himself at all.
Fu Yongshou glanced at the three of them, sneered, and said with a smile on his back: "A few country man, I haven't seen the world, my lord, let's go in." β
"You're farting again? It stinks! Li Ce suddenly jumped far away exaggeratedly, pinched his nose, and fanned the air duct hard.
Guan Zhen's face turned red, and he was so angry that he defended loudly: "Who farted?" Not me! β
Di Qing also looked at Li Ce in surprise, what happened to the eldest brother suddenly?
"Why didn't you fart, why did you suddenly stink?" Li Ce deliberately asked loudly. "Oh, it's not you, who could it be? Who came over just now? He replied in a muttered to himself.
Fu Yongshou's face turned red instantly, and he realized that people were scolding themselves in circles! This kid actually dares to ridicule himself for farting!
"Boy arrogance! Dare to insult the officer. Fu Yongshou was humiliated by a junior in front of his boss, and his face was very dull.
"Yo, this lord? Why did you volunteer to take a seat? I didn't say it was you, but I really admired your high-spirited and daring spirit. The guy deliberately continued to add fuel to the fire and sneered.
"You! Palm! Fu Yongshou was extremely angry, he stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves and slapped Li Ce's face. He didn't expect that the seemingly weak young man in front of him would dare to humiliate himself again and again, and even leave no emotion, but he forgot that it was he who hurt others first, as if people like him had long been accustomed to abusing others, but he couldn't tolerate the slightest counterattack from others......
Li Ce sneered, flashed back, easily avoided his palm, and then he said slowly: "My lord, do you want to use force?" Then I have to remind my lord, how are you compared to He Ruinian? After speaking, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Fu Yongshou fiercely.
Fu Yongshou's face changed, and then he remembered that this kid in front of him dared to use a knife to force He Ruinian, in case he was in a hurry, he couldn't protect him...... Looking at his cold gaze again, Fu Yongshou involuntarily took two steps back one after another.
"Hmph, sharp teeth, quick tongue." Ge Wenjing flicked the sleeves of his robe, said coldly, and strode towards the gate of Dali Temple.
Fu Yongshou saw that Ge Wenjing was angry, ignored himself and walked away, and hurriedly followed suit.
Vaguely, Ge Wenjing seemed to curse that the mud couldn't support the wall, and Fu Yongshou laughed and said yes......
"Phew! What is it! As soon as the two left, Guan Zhen couldn't help but scold.
"Haha, stealing chickens doesn't make rice, big brother, you really ...... But if you offend him like this, I'm afraid that these two people will declare a personal vendetta for a while. Di Qing said.
"Didn't the second brother see it? As soon as people came up, they targeted us, and now it's like that if we are offended, and if we don't offend, it's like that, so why swallow it, but let him think that we are afraid of him. Li Ce said.
Di Qing secretly said that Li Ce saw it thoroughly, he was always good at making decisions at critical moments, and he was never indecisive, and he still needed to learn more from him.
At this time, Chen Yaogang also arrived on horseback, he turned over and dismounted, saw Li Ce just about to say hello, and saw Guan Zhen and Di Qing standing behind Li Ce, and asked in surprise: "These two are the two brothers you said yesterday?" β
Li Ce hurriedly introduced: "This is Lord Chen, who is the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the infantry army, and the brother of the family teacher. β
"This is Guan Zhen, my fellow brother, who studied under Guan Yiqi, this is Di Qing, my sworn brother, he is the one who led 300 iron cavalry outside the city to chisel through the 50,000 troops of the Liao army." Li Ce can also be regarded as an introduction to the two, hoping that Chen Yaogang can remember the two and find a career in the future.
Di Qing and Guan Zhen arched their hands and said, "Lord Chen." β
Chen Yaogang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, not bad!" I have learned the skills of the old official in the past, I Chen Laosan is rarely convinced, the old official is one, I don't know how much martial arts you kid learned from him? β
Guan Zhen touched his head, looked at Li Ce and grinned: "You have to try this to know, right?" Yan Xia actually wanted to fight Chen Yaogang.
Li Ce knew that Chen Yaogang was informal, and did not blame Guan Zhen for not understanding etiquette.
Chen Yaogang laughed and said: "Okay, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and his courage is commendable, but I don't have time to be a sparring partner for you." "Back then, he competed with Guan Yiqi, and Guan Yiqi was only slightly better than him, how could he surrender his identity and compete with Guan Yiqi's apprentice again.
"Let me ask you, how did you break through the 50,000 army of the Liao army with 300 cavalry?" Chen Yaogang turned his gaze to Di Qing, and from the standing posture, he could see that the young man named Di Qing in front of him was the most powerful of the three, and this calmness was not as good as Li Ce.
"At that time, the Liao army focused on the front of the Zhending City, I led the troops from its flank raid, the Liao army light the enemy, only sent a part of the soldiers and horses to block, after I broke through, first feint to attack the Chinese army, after it returned to the reinforcement of the Chinese army, take advantage of the weakness around it, and then rush to its rear, the Liao army took care of the other, plus the depth of the frontal official shock, this is the chaos of the formation." Di Qing replied one by one.
Chen Yaogang was silent for a while, he was pondering what choice he would make on the battlefield if he changed himself, and he dared to lead a surprise attack to sneak attack. However, if he breaks through the interception of the Liao army, he will obviously lead his troops directly to the commander of the Liao army, and if nothing else, he will not be able to defeat the command office of the Liao army with only 300 people, which is why most sneak attacks are not so easy to succeed.
The situation on the battlefield changes in an instant, and whether you can grasp the fleeting fighter is the key to whether a general is competent.
Chen Yaogangan sighed, believing that most of the generals were the same as himself, once they broke through the interception, their blood would surge and go straight to the other party's command. This kid decisively gave up the commander of the Liao army at the critical moment, but took advantage of the chaos of the Liao army to completely disrupt the formation of the Liao army, so as to fish in troubled waters, which is the most effective tactic in comparison! At a young age, he has such vision and courage, and he must have the guidance of a famous teacher!
"Boy, who do you learn from?" Chen Yaogang asked.
"Don't hide it from Lord Chen, the master has an order, and you must not reveal his name, and I hope your lordship will forgive me." Di Qing replied.
"Hehe, don't ask, third uncle, even when we worship, I don't say anything when I ask him." Li Ce said.
"Hehe, to be able to train such an excellent apprentice, presumably your master is also a military master." Chen Yaogang said with some regret but didn't mind, everyone has everyone's secret, which he knows.
"Di Qing, what is your position in the army?" It can be seen that Chen Yaogang admires Di Qing very much.
"The decree of the imperial court just now is to command the envoy, but at that time, our brother has been imprisoned by Lord He." Di Qing said helplessly.
"Hmph, He Ruinian's old man is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is still jealous of his ability, relying on the support of the prime minister, he acts nonsense all day long, and after being demoted from the capital, he still doesn't know how to restrain himself, fortunately, the court's will arrived in time, otherwise your little life would be over." Chen Yaogang said.
During the time when several people were talking, several adults came one after another, some were today's supervisors, and some were here to observe, because this involved the competition between the two major forces, except for the adults who wanted to go to the court to participate in the early dynasty, the rest of the important figures almost all came.
"The time has come, open the temple to try the case!" A servant preached loudly in a loud voice.
Chen Yaogang took the three of them into the hall of Dali Temple, the hall of this trial of the case, the furnishings are the same as the ordinary yamen, but it is wider and more solemn.
