Although Du Shiyi has now been belittled, Pei Huang, as a big media, personally went to the Du Mansion in Guandefang to propose marriage, but the gift sent was not sloppy at all, it was originally purchased for her son by Mrs. Zhao Guo Li after the previous oral contract. And Du Shiyi had planned to take out 20,000 yuan to buy a dowry for Du Shisanniang earlier, so although this time it seemed a little hasty, the house slave tribe was all dispatched, and those things that had been scheduled for a long time were sent from the major shops in Nanshi, and several rooms in the front courtyard were piled up for a while.

Whether it was the official eunuchs or the common people who were also in Guandefang, they soon learned from the mouth of the Du family that Du Shiyi was going to marry his sister into the Qinghe Cui family before going south to Lingnan this time, so the marriage period could be said to be in a hurry. When they learned that Qinghe Cui's family didn't care about this, although some people secretly ridiculed it, more people were moved by Du Shiyi's love for his sister, and the Cui family also sympathized with Du's brothers and sisters.

Therefore, on the same day, the day was carried out to accept the lottery and ask the name, and the next rì was immediately the gift of Najib and the Nazheng ceremony. When the Cui family in Yongfeng Li sent geese and dowry gifts that almost filled the alleys according to the ancient rites, the crowd of onlookers actually blocked several nearby cross streets.

However, in the midst of this lively and festive celebration, the crowd could only hear a loud noise behind them, followed by a throat-tearing shout: "Get out of the way, get out of the way."

At this time, the Son of Heaven was summoned? Who is calling? Hasn't Du Jiulang been demoted?

Although the crowd exploded at once, everyone retreated to both sides to make way, and finally made a road large enough for one person to pass, allowing the eunuch and the two attendants to pass through. The three of them rode their horses and trotted to the door of Du's house, and the eunuch in front of him jumped off his horse and said loudly: "Bixia is summoned, please ask Du Langjun to enter the palace with me immediately."

Du Shisanniang is in charge of housework, but now she is going to get married, of course Du Shiyi has to come forward in person for her sister Cāo, fortunately, Qiu Niang and Zhuying can now be on their own, although Moon Shadow is younger, but she can also help, and Chibi and others are in front of the people who greet those who give dowry gifts to the Cui family, and he is personally receiving Cui Jianxuan's eldest brother Cui Chengxun丨Although the two have known each other for a long time, they don't have too much deep friendship, but they will be in-laws in the future, Cui Chengxun丨 is most concerned about Du Shiyi's debasement this time, Before he could say why, the movement outside was reported.

Although today's rì is the big rì hired by the Cui family, Cui Chengxun knows! Dao, the call of the Son of Heaven is more important than anything else, not to mention that it may also be related to Du Shiyi's future and fate. Therefore, he immediately stood up and said with a solemn face: "Du Jiulang, I can do the things here, you can enter the palace immediately, you can't tolerate the slightest mistake in front of the king, you must be careful."

"Then let me be rude"

At this time, there are people in the palace, and Du Shiyi knows that it is nothing more than because the movement of a degraded person is too big. However, he was also forced by this unexpected incident to go out and gamble, otherwise it would be a man-made knife and I would be a fish and meat, so he immediately walked out of the main hall after arching his hand to Cui Chengxun. He was not busy going to see the eunuch who was announced first, but hurried back to his room to change into his official clothes, and then came to the front yard.

As soon as he looked at his face, he immediately recognized that the eunuch who came to summon him to the palace at this moment was vaguely familiar. With a slight groan, he laughed. It was actually the person who was the one who explored the flower feast

"Li Jingzhong, it turned out to be you."

Seeing that Du Shiyi still recognized himself, Li Jingzhong's eyes flickered, but he only bowed his head slightly and did not speak, and when Du Shiyi's entourage brought the horse, he waited for him to get on the horse, and he also jumped on the horse. It wasn't until he entered Luoyang Palace that the two entourages just retreated, and he led Du Shiyi all the way to the direction of Xuanzheng Palace, looking at the distance of the four people, and then said in a very low voice: "Du Langjun, Bixia is in a very bad mood today, please be careful." Concubine Hui asked the slave maid to give a message to Du Langjun, and thanked Du Langjun for being able to say a fair word for the Duke of Chu. ”

Last time, Li Jingzhong accompanied himself at the flower feast, and he used to confess that he was Concubine Wu Hui's person, but now he reminded him again, and thanked Concubine Wu Hui on behalf of him, Du Shiyi suddenly smiled bitterly. He is still only an insignificant figure in the court, and he originally didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the concubines at all. If it weren't for the case of the county lord of Lantian who had wronged the queen Wang, this time Zhang Jiazhen had obviously announced his personal vendetta, and Jiang Jiao's henchmen alone would have fallen into it, not to mention many people, and even punished the secretary with a cane, he would not have been bold enough to seal and return the book. Now Concubine Wu Hui's empty vernacular gratitude cannot solve his urgent need

Whether the next hurdle can be passed safely is the two heavens of life and death, honor and disgrace

When he stepped into the Xuanzheng Palace, he had already eliminated all his worries and replaced him with a calm and calm face. As the place where the ministers were received after the court meeting, it was naturally empty and wide, and there was a cold and lonely taste when there were few people, at this moment, the Son of Heaven on the throne had a calm face, and the eunuchs on the left and right were all hanging their heads, as if they had even stopped breathing, and the atmosphere was so stiff that it seemed that even the flow of air had stopped, and he couldn't help but feel a deep pressure.

"Du Shiyi, you are very good." Li Longji finally opened his mouth to break the silence, but the first sentence was a pun, followed by a sneer, "You joined the army as the Hengzhou Sihu from the left side of the province, but the officials and the people saw you off, and you were in a hurry to marry your sister, looking at your fanfare jiashi, I'm afraid others still think that you are not derogatory, but promoted."

"The minister did not dare to deceive Bixia, the minister and Cui Shiyi Lang are brothers in the same class, and the friendship is irreversible, so after the expiration of his mourning service last year, the minister has already made a marriage contract for the young sister Thirteen Niang and Qinghe Cui's family, Cui Shiyi Lang Henan Mansion Ming Jingke after the release, the marriage was completed. A few times ago, he had to understand that after returning from the field, he learned that the minister was about to go to Hengzhou to take office, and the Cui family knew that Thirteen Niang only had the only closest brother of the minister, so he planned to get married immediately. The minister didn't want to wronged his sister, but he couldn't resist them, so all he could do was buy a dowry with all he had. After all, now that we are parting, I don't know how long it will take to see each other. ”

Li Longji has already asked people to investigate, all they play is how rich the Cui family's dowry is, how arrogant the Du family is in purchasing the dowry, and then how many dignitaries and dignitaries and wealthy families are in the Cheng Yi who sent Du Shiyi, but Du Shiyi's answer at this time is really pertinent. And in just one or two years, there are already more than a dozen officials who have written to intercede for Du Shiyi, and his anger has gradually calmed down a lot after a few rì, and those joints that he didn't think about at the beginning have now been considered.

As for Bixia saying that the minister is fanfare, like a promotion, the minister does not dare to agree, although he is degraded by the court, he is like the public will of the people. It is the duty of a minister to return the book. Bixia does not take the minister as the end, since Wan Nian Wei is more than half a year old, he will overmove to the left, the minister Minggan five internal laws, Gang also, the case of Chu Guogong was sent to the book to investigate its case, but there was no evidence of human and material evidence, and his crime was judged, and there was a lot of civil criticism. Moreover, even if he is guilty, his punishment should be carried out according to the law. The Duke of Chu used to be offended, and now he is offended, and the Ming canon punishment shows the brightness of bixia. The subordinates of the Zhongshu Sect do not judge the crime by the regular punishment, but the responsibility is not the punishment, and the minister, as the official, should be admonished if he is not appropriate."

Before Li Longji could speak, a neutral voice suddenly came from the originally quiet hall: "If you don't have a good one, you will admonish Du Shiyi, if you ask yourself, is there really no selfishness?" In the past, you can get the Jingzhao Mansion to relieve your head, the Jiang family of the Duke of Chu has repeatedly said hello in the county trial mansion, and Jiang Du, the son of Jiang Jiao, has repeatedly entered and exited your court, and you know that you are not abolishing official business with personal friendship? ”

This is...... Zhang Jiazhen's voice? I really didn't expect that Li Longji, the son of heaven, would not only summon him, but also have a Chinese book to order Zhang Jiazhen to be there, and the dignified prime minister was hiding in the corner, and the two of them really could really think of it

Seeing that Li Longji's expression did not change much, Du Shiyi boldly looked at the place where the voice came from. But I saw Zhang Jiazhen striding over from behind a pillar on the main hall, and then he didn't look at him, and went straight to the back and bowed deeply to the Son of Heaven: "Bixia, Du Shiyi not only discusses state affairs in vain, but also clearly abolishes the public because of private affairs."

Being able to fight in the ring with Zai Yuan, Du Shiyi didn't stop mentioning the seven-point jīng god. He didn't care about the fact that his and Zhang Jiazhen's previous grades and qualifications were all 108,000 miles apart, and immediately said aloud: "The former master once praised Qi Huangyang, 'The internal move does not avoid relatives, and the external move does not avoid revenge, Qi Huangyang can be described as a public man." The virtuous are like this, and the same is true for judging things, regardless of relatives and enemies, only talking about right and wrong, and hearing the ancient saying that the minister can't punish the doctor, why not? Because the doctor is close to the king, he is honest and shameful. Therefore, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated, not to mention that the Duke of Chu was a close minister in the past? Zhang Xiangguo is the respect of the prime minister, but when he leads the decree to decide things, he doesn't think about the law, he is not close to people, he only wants to kill a hundred people, and everyone trembles. ”

Zhang Jiazhen has always been the same since he became the prime minister, even if Yuan Qianyao, who is all older than him, still doesn't put it in his eyes, where can he afford to look down on Du Shiyi, a fledgling rǔ stinky child? However, at this moment, the other party reprimanded him, and he was not in a hurry, but smashed back the same four words for personal abolition, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

But at this time, there was a notification from outside: "Bixia, Kaifuyi and the third division Song Jing, and the provincial servant Zhongyuan Qianyao begged to see." ”

Li Longji saw that Du Shiyi dared to openly argue with Zhang Jiazhen, and said that Zhang Jiazhen was red-faced, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and when he heard that Song Jing and Yuan Qianyao were coming, he ordered lightly: "Let them in"

As soon as he heard that Song Jing and Yuan Qianyao were actually here, Du Shiyi's heart was shocked, but there was a surprised expression on his face. He hadn't seen Song Jing before he returned the book, and he hadn't seen Song Jing after he returned the book, plus this famous iron-faced prime minister had never dared to suspect his selfishness as for Yuan Qianyao, he had never expected much from this good old man Sure enough, when he caught a glimpse of Song Jing and Yuan Qianyao walking past him after entering the hall, and then came to stand at the level of Zhang Jiazhen, they both bowed and saw each other.

On that occasion, Song Jing, who had a solemn face, spoke first: "Bixia, I heard that just yesterday, Jiang Jiao, the Duke of Chu, had already broken the staff?"
