Before the appointment of the prime minister, Han Zhongyan was a civil official in the court, although Mu Yun was a scholar and a right man, but because his qualifications were too shallow, and he had just been promoted, there was no way to compare his right to speak with Han Zhongyan. But at this time, Han Zhongyan walked beside Xu Jiang, smiling and constantly leaning over to laugh with him.

Again, today General Xu once again solved his problem. Han Zhongyan is also a very reasonable person, so he naturally admits his feelings. Of course, in addition to admitting his feelings, he also admired General Xu very much. In the situation of today's court, no one dares to bet easily, but Xu Jiang did not hesitate to bet, and it turns out that his bet is very accurate. After today's events, His Majesty naturally looks at him with admiration.

General Xu's face was much more serious, but it was obvious that he was also very talkative, and his witty words attracted all the ministers to his side. Zhao Tingzhi and Mu Yun, who have always been very bad with General Xu, also chatted around General Xu because of this large group of ministers, and it was not good for them to leave alone, so they seemed arrogant. He also slowly followed these ministers, and made a few jokes with everyone from time to time.

The sedan chair is carried by everyone. Rao is that everyone does not deal with each other, but it looks like they fit very well on the face, which makes people always feel that this group of people is close and close to each other, like brothers. Who knows, many of these people are looking forward to each other going to see Hades soon?

At this moment, a figure passed everyone and walked forward quickly.

When everyone saw it, they were all amazed. It turned out that this person was the new Dali Temple Qing An Tao. An Tao is one of the oldest ministers in the entire court, and he is over 70 years old this year. As a dignified Dali Siqing, and a veteran of several dynasties who began to enter the court as an official during the Renzong period, he has always been quite self-sufficient, speaking and walking, and he is very calm. However, as soon as the old man starts to do things, he will become angry, and even he will not be very concerned about his manners when he speaks.

Since the yamen of Dali Temple is not in the imperial city, the old people come to the yamen first every day, and then come to the imperial city to go to court. This kind of thing can only be done by someone as responsible as him.

No matter what, at this time, he was still in the imperial city, and An Tao always had nothing to do. Moreover, in the imperial city, paying attention to manners and manners is the minimum courtesy, and it is also a respect for the emperor. As a veteran of the DPRK and China, An Tao should not be unaware of this. Therefore, everyone was a little surprised by An Tao's movements.

General Xu also seemed to be interested, and hurriedly shouted: Brother Houqing, you are so anxious, but where are you going?

An Tao turned his head, as if he had just seen everyone, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: How did all the princes get together today, forgive the old man and his eyes are dizzy, but he didn't see you clearly!

When An Tao entered the office, he was recommended by Han Zhongyan's father Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu. So the relationship between him and Han Zhongyan is quite close. Han Zhongyan saw him and said with a smile: "Okay, you are an old man, you can pretend to be stunned." You may be older than me, but I know you are strong. Just look at the vigorous way you looked when you just ran, and you can imagine how sharp your old eyes are! In my opinion, you did it on purpose!

An Tao said: Okay, you Han Da, as a ruler, you speak so lightly and unfairly, even I, an old man, don't accept it, how can you convince the public?

Han Zhongyan smiled, smiling brightly. He and An Tao have been joking like this for many years, others look at the two people as if they are incompatible, but they don't know that if they weren't so incompatible for so many years, there would be no tacit understanding between them today. But this time, An Tao did not show his tacit understanding, his face was still tense, and he did not turn as expected. This made Han Zhongyan a little stunned, so he stopped laughing. He knew that if An Tao didn't have something in his heart, he would never lose face to his old friend.

Xu Jiang next to him hurriedly played a round and said: Brother An, is there something wrong today?

Han Zhongyan was in an embarrassing place, and when he saw that this time it was Xu Jiang who came out to help him out of the siege, the gratitude in his heart was beyond words. An Tao over there politely said to Xu Jiang: Xu Gong didn't know, early yesterday morning, another case was handed over to my Dali Temple. Originally, this case was not a big case, but because it involved an important minister in the court, the lower officials had to be cautious and questioned, so they neglected Duke Xu and the dukes

His eyes suddenly turned to Zhao Tingzhi on the side, and his tone became a little unnatural, but he still continued: Please don't be strange!

Xu Jiang hurriedly smiled and said: What did Gong An say, you are so self-denying and dedicated, it is the duty of our ministers, and we should be ashamed.

Everyone nodded yes.

Zhao Tingzhi's face became gloomy. Xu Jiang's sentence should be said by the prime minister of the current dynasty to be considered in line with his identity. Although he can be regarded as a high-ranking official, he is still not qualified to express his attitude on behalf of the collective of ministers such as us. The hateful thing is that Xu Jiang is not interested, but these people don't seem to mind it one by one, even Han Zhongyan, the old guy, actually echoed it, it seems that he only wants Xu Jiang to look at it!

Mu Yun next to him took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Tingzhi, Zhao Tingzhi looked back, but saw that Mu Yun gave him a stern warning look. Zhao Ting's heart trembled, and a bitter smile quickly appeared on his face.

After walking forward for a while, we came to the crossroads, and those in the Menxia, Dutang and other departments had to go east, and those in the Zhongshu and Privy Departments had to go west, and others, such as An Tao, who shot outside the imperial city, had to go south out of the Xuande Gate. In other words, this is where everyone parted.

Everyone turned their heads and prepared to say goodbye. But at this moment, I suddenly heard a rather loud cry from the Xuande Gate.

Everyone was baffled. This is the center of the Great Song Dynasty, and the emperor, concubines, and civil and military ministers are all in this gate. Ordinary people have seen Xuandemen from afar, and their hearts are a little hairy, and how many people dare to make noise in this place?

In the middle of doubt, the louder the crying became, and the things over there seemed to be a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

Zaifu has not yet been officially established, and Han Zhongyan is the temporary chief of the hundred officials. At such a time, he really can't help but stand up. Of course, he himself is quite willing to come out at such a time to show a little prestige.

Han Zhongyan turned to a guard guarding the pro-army on the side of the road and said: "This little brother, please go and see, what's going on over there?"

The Zhige guard responded, hurriedly ran forward, and after a while, he turned back and said to Han Zhongyan: Qi Han Xianggong, there is a man dressed in filial piety clothes, and he is shouting grievances in front of Xuande Gate, claiming that he wants to meet the emperor and complain about grievances.

Oh! Han Zhongyan said curiously: Outside the forbidden city, there is a place for redressing grievances, so hasn't Kaifeng County cracked some cases recently? The new county commander Ouyang Shu seems to be still a capable official! Even if Kaifeng County can't manage it, then there are still Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple, aren't they all outside the forbidden city? This person wants to cry outside this imperial city alone, and he is still wearing filial piety clothes? Isn't this just a disgrace to our court and a disgrace to the saint? Such a diao people
