Chapter 394: A Wave of Unsettled Waves
Chapter 394 The wave is not settled
As a subordinate, there is no room for bargaining for Shangguan's instructions, this simple truth, Zhou Wei still understands, naturally, with a stomach full of confusion, he left the imperial city and went straight to the general prison.
After the carnival, they will be the supervisors and officials, perform their duties, go to work normally, and be busy liquidating the amount of money and food for the cemetery project, summarizing and storing them in the files, so when Zhou Wei came to the prison, the official office seemed quiet, and many officials sat in the yamen, holding the calculation chips, while making comparisons, while recording, and did not pay attention to the idle people.
Under the guidance of the gatekeeper, Zhou Wei came to the lieutenant colonel's office, and had the intention to go directly to visit the lieutenant colonel's order, but he couldn't find the way, so he had to be cheeky and knock on the door of a yafang, and in the cold eyes of the officials, he explained his intentions.
There was a person who didn't raise his head, and said casually: "Go straight, turn left, and the first room at the end is it." ”
Zhou Wei hurriedly thanked him, followed the man's prompt, came to the lieutenant colonel's signing room, knocked on the door carefully, raised his voice a little, and said respectfully: "Zhou Wei, the director of the Water Department of the Ministry of Lower Officials and Industry, was ordered to come and wait for the dispatch." ”
After waiting for a while, there was no response in the room, Zhou Wei was surprised, blinked, knocked on the door again, and still did not move, through the door and window, he saw the situation inside, thinking that the lieutenant colonel had ordered it to go out, Zhou Wei had to go back and continue to investigate.
It was still the same person just now, and he said kindly: "Lieutenant Colonel Han is very busy, I don't have time to meet you now, so you can wait for a while." ”
There are many people with the surname Han in the world, Zhou Wei didn't think much about it, nodded helplessly, and when he saw the officials in the yafang, he no longer cared about himself, but he was also interested, and obediently stepped out and waited in the corridor.
Waiting, it is an hour, the temperature in autumn is a little cool, but during the day, it is known as the autumn tiger, the scorching sun is so hot that Zhou Wei is covered in sweat, and his back clothes are half dry and half wet, which is very uncomfortable.
During this period, there were also a few scribes, holding copywriting materials and the like, who went to the signing room, and Zhou Wei also accompanied him with a blank eye, thinking that he would wait for them to travel and go in by himself, so he wouldn't bother.
The idea is beautiful, but unfortunately the reality is very cruel, when the scribe came out, Zhou Wei raised his voice to ask to see, there was no movement in the signing room, once or twice, it can be said, but three or four times, it is doubtful, at this time, no matter how stupid Zhou Wei is, he should also understand that this lieutenant colonel's order seems to be deliberately embarrassing himself.
What is the reason, Zhou Wei is puzzled, I have to say that Han Rui became an official again, learned a lesson, and did not publicize it much, only a few people with close relations knew, and it was not long before he went to Sanyuan County to build a cemetery with the general supervisor, and there was no news for a long time, so he naturally faded out of the sight of the world.
Moreover, during the state funeral, from the princes and nobles to the ordinary people, if they have nothing to do, they will stay at home, and even the movement between relatives and friends will be less, and the world will not only revolve around Han Rui, Zhou Wei has not heard of this, and it is not surprising.
Therefore, Zhou Wei felt that he was very wronged, for no reason, how could he be treated like this, he was resentful, and he wanted to throw off his sleeves and leave, but unfortunately, he didn't have the backbone and guts, but he came on the order of the water department, and the errand was not done, and he was exempted, and he didn't know if His Royal Highness King Yue was willing to protect himself.
It was not easy to get ahead, and the excitement in his heart had not passed, and Zhou Wei did not dare to gamble on his future.
Just when Zhou Wei hesitated, a scribe beckoned: "Master Zhou, Lieutenant Colonel Han let you in." ”
Zhou Wei was stunned, and then overjoyed, he was finally willing to meet him, and the idea of leaving was suddenly thrown out of the clouds, lest things change again, so he immediately trotted up, hurriedly walked into the signing room, didn't even look at it, knelt down naturally, kowtowed and said: "Xiaguan Zhou Wei, meet Lieutenant Colonel Han." ”
Well, an indifferent voice came, and then there was no movement, for a moment, Zhou Wei couldn't help it, quietly raised his head, a pair of eyes, swaying around, looking at the bookcase in front of him, as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, and was suddenly blinded.
Han Rui smiled and greeted him in a friendly manner: "Master Zhou, what a coincidence, we met again." ”
"You... You...... How to be here. Zhou Wei was shocked, his voice trembling.
"Why can't I be here?" Han Rui said with interest: "I've been here for several months, you don't know." ”
"Han... Lieutenant Colonel "Zhou Wei's face is like ashes, a burst of green, a burst of red, and a mixture of miserable white, very exciting."
Han Rui arched his hand and smiled: "That's right, Director Zhou, it's polite." ”
With his pitiful IQ, he can also speculate that this is definitely not a coincidence, it's over, it's over, Zhou Wei is bitter in his heart, extremely desperate, how can he be so stupid, he actually sent it to the door automatically, thinking of yesterday's situation, Zhou Wei was shocked and scared, and said dryly: "Tell you, don't mess around, I... I... But the people of His Royal Highness King Yue. ”
Yes, with the support of King Yue behind him, Zhou Wei regained his confidence, and threatened with a weak heart: "If you dare to declare personal vendettas, His Royal Highness King Yue will definitely not spare you......"
"Chief Zhou." Han Rui kindly reminded: "What you said is a bit taboo, since you are an official of the imperial court, you should be loyal to Your Majesty, but you say who you are, spread it, how did you get it, it is clearly to smear anyone's face, can you afford such consequences?" ”
"I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." Zhou Wei shouted in a panic and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"That's right." Han Rui smiled happily: "Say, what are you doing here, are you short on money?" Ah, there's some money here, so let's use it......"
Ding Dong, a few copper coins were dropped, swirling on the floor, making a crisp sound, scattered everywhere.
This is clearly yesterday's situation, but the protagonist has been replaced, Zhou Wei looked up at Han Rui, and found that the warm smile on his face had disappeared, his eyes were a little cold, and his heart was inexplicably tight, and he hurriedly lowered his head, dazed and at a loss.
Han Rui said lightly: "What, it's not enough?" ”
“…… Enough, enough. Zhou Wei knelt on the ground, his body was weak, and he even had the heart to cry.
"Then pick it up." Han Rui said casually: "It's a private matter, so we can talk about business." ”
By the way, there are still official matters, errands are important, the official position is tight, and there is a fierce struggle in his heart, Zhou Wei moved, stretched out his trembling palm, and slowly picked up a copper coin, some of them were far away, and they didn't even dare to look up and get up, but they just knelt down and crawled over, tossing for a long time, and then picked up all the copper coins.
At the right time, a white and handsome face, covered with dust, covered with blood red, I don't know whether it is ashamed or ashamed, at the end, Zhou Wei swallowed his anger and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Han, the subordinate came to listen to the dispatch by order, if you have anything, just give orders." ”
If Zhou Wei picked up the money and smashed it over, Han Rui would still give three points, but now this kind of performance is not called forbearance, but spineless, how can people afford it, Han Rui shook his head, and he didn't have the intention of playing, and said loudly: "Come on." ”
"What do you command?" A scribe hurried in.
Han Ruiyao gestured, didn't even bother to call his name, and said directly: "Take him down and work in the utility room." ”
"Whoa." The scribe responded, glanced at Zhou Wei, and said contemptuously: "Come with me." ”
Zhou Wei's face was red and white, his expression was unpredictable, he knew that the situation just now fell into the eyes of the scribe, but he did not have the slightest intention of resisting, and obediently followed.
"The mud can't support the wall, Li Tai miscalculated." Han Rui pondered and meditated, however, it is also worth noting, first Gu Yin, then Zhou Wei, and maybe others, one by one arranged to be officials, Li Tai's thoughts are becoming more and more obvious, if a good prince doesn't do it, why bother fighting for that position, in the end, he is destined to get nothing, and his efforts are just in vain.
A small principal, seconded normally, no one will pay attention, even Li Tai, and he has no time to pay attention to Zhou Wei's crying, because at this time, the royal clan and hundreds of officials in the court are busy giving the funeral of Emperor Li Yuan.
Almost at the time when the cemetery was completed, the ministers of the imperial court began to discuss the funeral rites, and the speed was very fast, and Li Shimin personally decided that Li Yuan's coffin would be transported to the Sanyuan County Cemetery for burial on the ninth day of August.
Soon, it came to that day, the sky was bright, in the imperial city, floating morning dawn white mist, the royal clan members, all arrived, the court hundred officials were listed in it, presided over by Zongzheng Siqing, held a huge funeral, according to the funeral book, with six silk to pull Li Yuan's locomotive, each silk is 30 zhang long, seven inches around, each has more than 1,000 people who hold the silk Bang Shi Hu Ben, and there are 200 Bang Lang, left and right with two elegy, each 64 people.
Out of the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin and the clan, hundreds of officials slowly followed the locomotive forward, the guards on the left and right, no less than 10,000 people, dressed in linen and filial piety, plain clothes and white cloth, the scene is magnificent, all the way to the cemetery, everyone can not appreciate the landscape of the mind, after all kinds of complicated and detailed funeral procedures, Li Yuan's coffin, and Taimu Queen Dou are buried in the mausoleum.
The broken dragon stone fell slowly, and more than a dozen craftsmen filled in and tamped it, at this time, the sound of sorrow and mourning resounded in the sky, princesses and horses, lords and nobles, civil and military officials, involuntarily, crying into a film, the scene was very noisy, but among the people, those who really shed tears for Li Yuan did not know how many people could be.
"Father......" Li Shimin was silent, and there was not the slightest tear on his face, not that there was nothing, but that it had been exhausted. Empress Eldest Sun accompanied her, her beautiful eyes were full of sadness, and she persuaded softly: "Erlang, your body is just healing, pay attention to the mourning is the ......"
Crying for about half an hour, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wang?, presided over the memorial ceremony, three kneeling and nine knocks, burning incense and burning wax, sandalwood pervasive, clouds and mist, floating in the air, looming, it is also a rare spectacle, maybe after today, the market began to circulate, in fact, the emperor Li Yuan did not die, but got the guidance of Lao Tzu Li Er, and flew into an immortal.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the worship ceremony was over, and under the persuasion of Empress Changsun's whispers, Li Shimin reluctantly put away his sadness and stood up.
Holding the eldest grandson queen with his hand, Li Shimin exclaimed: "Guanyin... What's wrong with you, hurry... Chuan Da Doctor ......"
Everyone was suddenly in chaos, and they all raised their hearts, and Han Rui's heart sank, it was really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave.
