Chapter 358: Breaking the Levee (Part II)
- Two days later, in the evening, Chen Ke returned to Bianjing.
Back at home, Chen Yu told him what had happened.
It turned out that Fu Bi and Tang Jie were ordered to investigate the cause of the bursting of the embankment of the Ergu River. As a result, the officials of the water supervision and the Ministry of Engineering insisted in unison that the engineering design was fine, and the construction quality was strictly adhered to the standards, and the reason why the embankment would burst was because of the problems with the new materials used.
The so-called new material is, of course, cement......
Chen Ke was not surprised when he heard this, because Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Conggu urgently need to shirk their responsibilities now, so Chen Ke, who provided cement at the beginning, is the best scapegoat! And he can beat Zhao Zongji backwards, it's strange that Zhao Zongshi doesn't do this.
"What shameless!" Chen Yu, who has always been immobile in the eight winds, has already exploded his lungs: "At the beginning, His Royal Highness gave the formula of cement out of public intentions, but now they are attacking you with one!" β
"Am I asking for trouble?" Chen Ke wasn't so angry, he just said helplessly: "Or do they feel that I'm so easy to bully?" β
"I've already said hello to Yigan in the same year, and Wang Yan also agreed, and we will write together to avenge your grievances," Chen Yu is obviously not idle these days: "This Great Song Dynasty is not something they can cover the sky with one hand!" β
"Don't be impatient," Chen Ke smiled bitterly: "People just questioned me, and they didn't draw conclusions, what are you making a fuss about?" Saying that, he said: "Now the anger of the official family and the rich minister is great, don't hit the muzzle of the gun." β
"How are you going to clear your name!" Chen said with concern.
"First of all, I'm going to get some sleep." Chen Kezheng said: "Then I will report to the Yushi Observatory tomorrow." β
"......" Chen Yu has a black line in his head.
"Settled." Chen Ke comforted his brother softly: "Maybe it's not what you imagined. β
The next day was not the rìzi of the Ordinary Dynasty, and Chen Ke took a car early in the morning to report to the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory located in the west of the imperial city.
Yushitai is also called Wutai. In the Great Song Dynasty, where there were no factory guards, this was the place where the civil officials were frightened. But Chen Ke has no feeling here, the reason is very simple, whoever has been impeached by more than a dozen imperial historians for several years, and still does not move, will not be in awe of this place anymore.
It is said that he was in the eyes of the imperial historians. It is already one of the 'three major difficulties' of this dynasty, and the other two are Fu Bi and Han Qi......
Getting off outside the gate, Chen Ke and Chen Yi walked to the front of the yamen. Chen Yi showed the name thorn and summons to the soldiers guarding the door, and the two were led into the front yard duty hall.
Different from the ordinary yamen who show their prestige to the people, the Fengxian yamen is the yamen as a picket for hundreds of officials. The majesty of the Imperial Historical Observatory is for the officials to see. As soon as Chen Ke entered the gate, he felt an oppressive solemn atmosphere. When encountering officials coming in and out, they were greeted by frost on their faces, not like the smiling faces of ordinary yamen.
The task of the Imperial Historical Observatory Duty Hall is to register and receive the corresponding officials from all walks of life who come to the courtyard one by one. Because most of them are 'criminals' who report on things, the inspectors on duty in the duty hall have gradually developed a tone like a prisoner.
The imperial historian on duty saw that the doorman had led a person in, wearing a five-grade official uniform. But surprisingly young...... The Song Dynasty was not like the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was extremely difficult to rise to the official rank, even if he was twenty years old and ranked, he could mix five grades at the age of forty, and he could be called an early arrival. The man in front of him looked to be in his twenties. But it is already the official residence of the fifth grade, and the goldfish bag! Let the young imperial history, who has always considered himself ambitious, how can he be red-eyed.
The imperial history immediately recognized that the person who came was Chen Ke, and he also knew that the two princes asked him to carry the black cauldron that broke the embankment, and Lord Zhongcheng personally issued a summons. I couldn't help but say secretly in my heart. Let you chΕ«n wind proud, this time the autumn wind is bleak, right?
He put on a posture of interrogating the prisoner, did not give up his seat, and asked directly: "Which yamen is from?" What happened? β
"Can you speak?" Chen Yi became angry when he heard it: "What about you, the interrogator?" β
"What are you doing with you?" Yushi shouted like a fly: "Come on, fork out, dare to roar at Wutai again, give me a hard slap!" β
Chen Ke was furious, and just as he was about to make a sΓ¨, he heard a familiar voice and shouted: "Wang Yanfu, you are so majestic!" β
Before the words fell, a tall and angry young imperial history stood beside Chen Ke, and it was Wang Shao, who was supervising the imperial history in the imperial history platform.
That is called Wang Yanfu's supervision of the imperial history, and he is a four-year jinshi of Jiayou. Because of well-known reasons, the two rankings of Jiayou's second year and Jiayou's fourth year are on fire. At this moment, seeing the other party's elbow twisting outward, he thought it was a good opportunity to attack him, so he sneered: "I'm just doing things according to the rules, but you, do you want to roar in court?" β
"Don't take a chicken feather as an arrow!" Wang Shao spat and said: "The reputation of Yushitai has been ruined by a birdman like you, who looks down on people!" β
"Who do you say...... Person? Wang Yanfu blushed and said with a rough neck: "You dare to say it again? β
"You birdman!" Wang Shao naturally refused, and said to Chen Ke after speaking: "Beg me to scold him, I have never seen such a slut." β
"It's cheap enough." Chen Ke nodded and said, "I can say it if I am not satisfied." β
"Birdman, Birdman, Birdman......"
"Slut, slut, slut, slut......" The two of them sprayed at Wang Yanfu together.
Wang Yanfu almost blew his lungs in anger, and shouted to the scribe soldiers who rushed to hear the sound: "Did you hear them insulting me? β
It's time to compete in character, Wang Yanfu's eyes are higher than the top, and for the so-called lowly servants, they are not birds. Wang Shao was bold and generous, and mingled with the officials. So there was no suspense, and everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had just arrived.
"Okay, you guys colluded," Wang Yanfu was so angry that he burst into tears, got up and ran inside: "I want to go to Lord Mingzhongcheng!" β
"Please." Wang Shao shrugged his shoulders and said to the officials: "Disperse." β
And the crowd dispersed.
Wang Shao and Chen Ke looked at each other and smiled. That's it, Chen Ke sighed lightly and said, "Why bother wading through this troubled water? β
Wang Shao pouted and said, "I didn't want to stay in this bird place for a long time. He sneered and said, "If it weren't for being this bird official, Fang Cai wouldn't have spat him!" β
In Chen Ke's mind, he suddenly remembered the white-clothed Wang Shaoxia who killed people without blinking. I couldn't help but sigh and said, "We are really not suitable to be officials. β
"So you don't have to worry about me, I don't plan to mess around here, and I don't plan to be a civil official anymore." Wang Shao smiled: "I still like to use the knife more than the mouth." β
Chen Ke said leisurely: "I'll be with you." "The death of Jia Jian had a great impact on him, so much so that he was a little depressed.
"Don't, without you being an official in the capital, I wouldn't dare to kill people outside with a knife." Wang Shao smiled and pointed to the inner door, and said to Chen Ke: "I'll take you to see Lord Zhongcheng." β
"That guy has a complaint."
"Sue me." Wang Shaoman said indifferently: "I Lao Tzu and broke all five of his legs another night!" β
When I arrived outside the duty room of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, I met Wang Yanfu coming out dejectedly.
"Why, the director didn't support you?" Wang Shao asked with a smile.
"Don't gloat," Wang Yanfu said, "You won't be able to laugh later!" β
"Slut......" Wang Shao whispered.
"Birdman ......" Chen Ke immediately picked it up.
Wang Yanfu collapsed, holding his head, crying, and hurriedly walked away.
Drove the annoying guy away, Wang Shao dressed up and went in to watch the room. After the tea, he came out in a trance, patted Chen Ke and said, "The elder is too cruel, I have to go back to rest, you take care." β
Seeing that Wang Shao was sprayed like this, Chen Ke couldn't help but feel worried, and at this time, the scribe called in, so he took a deep breath and strode into the duty room.
In the signature room. The boss of all the imperial histories, Tang Jie, the middle of the Great Song Dynasty, sat behind the big case, although there was nothing unusual about his appearance, Chen Ke clearly felt an incomparable sense of oppression.
In fact, most of the depression he felt when he entered the Yushitai was due to this old man. The shadow of the famous tree, Tang Jie, known as the 'butcher of officialdom', is recognized as the most powerful and simple and rude official in the hundred years since the founding of the country. There are countless officials who fell under him, including super prey such as Wen Yanbo and Zhang Yaozuo.
What makes Chen Ke even more frightened is that he is still the most unscrupulous and lethal in history...... Trolls. Tang Jie is the kind of person who doesn't say a word for half a year, and can kill people with a word. When he drove Zhang Yaozuo out of the capital and went to be a festival envoy, the official family was unwilling, saying that the festival envoy was a rough official.
Replaced by an ordinary official, at most, it means that 'Zhang Yaozuo is not a small person', but Tang Jie said to the official family on the spot: "...... The Jiedu envoy is not a rough official, Taizu and Emperor Taizong have served as dìdū. The official family was immediately reduced to an unfilial descendant, and he was embarrassed when he landed, and he no longer dared to talk back to Tang Jie.
Later, after Zhang Yaozuo died, the official family sighed to Tang Jie: "You have exaggerated what you said before, you all said that Zhang Yaozuo is Yang Guozhong, if I use him, I will become the second emperor of Tang Ming, in fact, how can it be so serious." β
"Yes, Your Majesty is right." Tang Jie immediately replied: "With Zhang Yaozuo, there may not be chaos." But once there is a mess, His Majesty is not as good as Emperor Tang Ming! Li Longji has Tang Suzong who can clean up the rivers and mountains, who does Your Majesty rely on? Do you have a son? β
directly scolded the emperor to tears...... Of course, the background of Tang Jie's words was that Zhao Zhen and the ministers were fighting for the matter of the prince a few years ago.
is such an old man who hurts people and fears ghosts, but at this moment he looks at Chen Ke...... Laughed.
