Chapter 187: The Princess-in-law of Dongchang
Xu Liang's gaze stayed on the four Dongchang fans for a moment, and one of them seemed to feel something, and his cold eyes swept towards Xu Liang, and when he saw that it was a blue-robed petty official, he withdrew his gaze with disdain.
This made Xu Liang very angry, he looked at the officials in the hall again, and sighed in his heart, it is reasonable for people to ignore themselves, in the entire hall, in addition to Xu Liang himself, the lowest grade is also from the fifth grade, and Xu Liang, a small county commander of the seventh grade, has been reduced to the bottom of the role here.
The seats in the hall are not delusional. Xu Liang estimated his position, stood quietly in the corner near the door of the lobby, and nodded and said hello to the official from the fifth grade on the side, Lord Lu of Pingliang Mansion. As a result, people didn't want to deal with Xu Liang at all.
After standing bored for a while, several generals strode into the lobby, Xu Liang looked at it, and finally saw two old acquaintances.
Anton Zhongwei's Qianhu Guanlong Feng and Huang Ziren followed Anton Zhongwei's command to make Ye Yanqing arrive. As the commander of Anton's central guard, Commander Ye naturally has seats in the row, but Long Feng and Huang Ziren are slightly lower in rank, so they only have the share of accompanying stations, and the direction is just diagonally opposite Xu Liang.
Long Feng and Huang Ziren soon discovered Xu Liang and nodded enthusiastically. Huang Ziren was surprised and happy when he saw Xu Liang appear in the lobby of the prefect's yamen, and wanted to come over to speak, but he heard the sound of footsteps behind the screen in the main hall, and knew that the governor of Wu was probably about to come out, so he stood up again and looked at the screen.
Wu Zhiwang, the three-sided governor in a crimson official robe, walked out calmly, stood still behind the desk, but was not in a hurry to sit down, and bowed his hand sideways to the person behind him.
In Shaanxi Province, there are almost no people who are qualified to let Governor Wu give a courtesy sideways. But this Governor Wu must not be offended.
Xu Liang stood at the door, and he could see clearly that the one who came out with Governor Wu was actually an old eunuch wearing a purple python robe and a jade belt. The old eunuch was old and had a big shelf, and in the face of Governor Wu's gift, he only nodded slightly, and then walked to the front of the Taishi chair, and behind the chair, a Dongchang fan had already wiped the seat with his sleeve for the old eunuch to sit down.
Governor Wu then sat down.
"My lords, the governor of the three sides of this official, Wu Zhiwang, must be known to most of you here, and a few are not familiar with it, but it doesn't matter, this governor is here, and I will get to know you again," Governor Wu said, his voice slightly hoarse.
"This governor is a Guanzhong person, Wanli seventeen years of Jinshi, successively served as the magistrate of Huoqiu County, the head of the Ministry of Officials, Taichang Temple Shaoqing......" Governor Wu began to introduce his own family history in a wordy manner, for the official history, from the year of the Jinshi, said for most of the day, until the beginning of the year to move the governor of the three sides.
Xu Liang listened drowsy, yawned for a long time, and couldn't help but whisper to the person next to him.
"Lord Lu, which one is the Governor singing? Where to start a family tree? ”
The corners of Lu Tongzhi's mouth twitched, and he listened solemnly. Just after Xu Liang thought that he had pasted back his cold buttocks, unexpectedly, Lu Tongzhi looked at the Governor with his eyes, but said softly in his mouth: "Lord Xu doesn't know, Governor Wu is old, it is said that he is almost seventy-five or sixteen this year, and when he is old, he likes to nag, you, you should listen to the commentary." ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he didn't expect Governor Wu to be so old, and when he looked at Governor Wu again, he found that this old man was indeed wrinkled and old.
Governor Wu was still chattering rambling, and the officials below didn't dare to interrupt. However, someone who dared to interject finally spoke.
The old eunuch of Dongchang, who sat at the head of the right side of the desk, said in a cold tone: "Lord Wu, it's not early, let's get back to business as soon as possible, you are the governor of the three sides, and you have time to chat with someone, but our family has the emperor's order, and we can't hold it for a long time in Shaanxi." ”
"Ah...... Oh, what the prince said is very true. Governor Wu listened to the displeasure of the prince's words, so he stopped talking unfinished, straightened his face, and said to everyone in the court: "Then the governor will not talk much, and now talk about specific things." ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he almost couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. Just like Governor Wu, can you also call it gossip and don't talk much? In the past half an hour, the room full of people has just accompanied him to listen to his old man's nonsense.
Governor Wu's voice was stern, "You should know that the case of Gonggong Wei has already been decided by the court, cough cough, that, it stands to reason that the case should have been closed long ago." However, the Governor suddenly received a report half a month ago that Gonggong Wei actually ......"
"Master Wu, Wei Zhongxian is a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, a rebellious person, and he is also worthy of being called a father-in-law?" Eunuch Wang interjected dissatisfiedly.
"Ah, the prince has a point." Governor Wu choked, and immediately changed his words and said: "That Wei Zhongxian, according to the law, should be beheaded by the whole family, and his nine clans will be punished." However, loyal people in the northwest reported to the court that Wei Zhongxian still had descendants alive! ……”
In fact, what Governor Wu said, Xu Liang basically already knew. Even what the so-called Wei descendant Li Ting looks like, Xu Liang knows very well. It was Xu Liang who listened to the meeting and began to wander.
This Governor Wu is so old, and the court still let him out as an official, which is really unkind. And the old eunuch Wang who has a bigger shelf than the governor, what kind of person is from Dongchang, could it be the eunuch of the governor of Dongchang? No, when the eunuch of Chao Bingbi and the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang does not seem to be surnamed Wang, then who is he? Xu Liang's eyes were floating, and he was thinking and thinking in his head.
Suddenly feeling that someone had slapped his arm, Xu Liang came back to his senses and turned his head to look, and saw Lu Tongzhi slapping his eyes at him. Xu Liang looked at him blankly.
"Where is Xu Liang of Zhenyuan Zhixian County?" The governor of the hall is calling.
Xu Liang understood what was going on this time, and hurriedly stood up and saluted the Governor of Wu, "Xu Liang, the former magistrate of Xiaguan Town, has seen the Governor." ”
"Hmph, you are Xu Liang of Zhenyuan County?" Governor Wu's tone was not good.
"It's Xiaguan." Xu Liang replied cautiously, looking at Governor Wu, and for a moment he didn't understand where he had offended this old man again.
"The Governor has called you three times, but you have not answered. Are you guilty? ”
Hum, Xu Liang banged in his head, the secret path was broken, he had just patronized the prince and pondered the prince, and he didn't even hear Governor Wu call himself. Xu Liang hurriedly snapped and fell to his knees, and shouted loudly: "The lower official is guilty." It's only to blame that the lower official listened to the adult's official journey, and admired it for a while, thinking of the lower official himself, even one ten-thousandth of the adult's, he was secretly ashamed, and he couldn't help himself, so he offended the adult, and hoped that the adult would forgive him! ”
Scold! As soon as Xu Liang said this, all the officials in the hall suddenly felt a sore tooth. Shameless, shameless! Many officials scolded in their hearts.
Hey! Even the prince looked at Xu Liang in surprise and sneered.
Governor Wu was also stunned, looked at Xu Liang in a daze for a while, and said with a smile: "That's the case...... Then this time, the governor didn't care. Xu Liang listened! ”
"The lower official is here."
"You will take 3,000 soldiers and horses to go out with the governor to conquer and capture the descendants of the Wei family." Governor Wu said.
"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Xu Liang said solemnly, gave another salute, and got up and returned to his standing position by the gate. Lu Tongzhi secretly gave Xu Liang a thumbs up.
Then, Governor Wu issued several orders one after another, all of which were aimed at the Li Jiajun who had conquered Li Ting, a descendant of the Wei clan. The civilian and military generals who were assigned to the task each went out to receive the order, and then retreated.
After Governor Wu issued the general order, he turned to the prince and smiled: "Princess, what other instructions do you have?" ”
The prince is still sitting with a golden sword, and his feet are separated outwards in a big figure, looking domineering. With a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were like knives, and he first hugged his fist to the north before he spoke, and then said: "The emperor's grace is mighty, and the power of the sky is unpredictable. Our family and you are all the ones who do errands for the Holy One. The saint is wise and martial, you do your best, the saint is naturally happy, if you deliberately conceal it, deceive the king, hum, our prison food in Dongchang is not so delicious! Speaking of this, the prince stood up violently, held his head high, and said majestically: "There is a holy oracle! ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the hall were frightened, and Governor Wu originally seemed to be recuperating there with his eyes closed, but when he heard the prince suddenly say these three words, he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up and walked off the desk, and knelt down in the direction where the prince was standing with the other officials in the hall.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The smug look on the corner of Wang Gonggong's mouth flashed, and he stood with his hands in his hands, and said: "There is an edict on the saint: this time to arrest the descendants of the Wei family, you should do your best to bring the descendants of the Wei family to justice." ”
"Your Ministers obey!"
After the officials got up again, Lu Tongzhi saw that Xu Liang's face was pale, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What's the matter, Lord Xu, but your health is not safe?" ”
Xu Liang squeezed out a little smile and said, "Maybe it's because the inn's stomach was bad early, but it's okay." ”
In his heart, Xu Liang's nose was almost crooked. Just when all the officials knelt down together, Xu Liang's eyes glanced at the smug smile of the prince, and when he heard the prince say that it was an oracle, Xu Liang was basically sure that the so-called oracle was fake.
It doesn't matter if it's fake or not, what matters is that the old eunuch Wang tricked Xu Liang into kneeling! Dead eunuchs, third-class cripples, sluts!
