Chapter 36: Refusal
After an awkward silence, Yikang slowly stood outside the door.
“…… Princess? Zeng Jiuyan and Bai Yi were stunned at the same time, and they suddenly realized that every word they said just now might have been heard by Yikang.
Zeng Jiuyan was embarrassed, couldn't help scratching his neck twice, and stumbled and said, "How long is the little county lord standing there...... How long has it been? ”
Yikang sneered, "Little Hou Ye dares to say it so much, are you still afraid that people will listen?" What should be heard, what should not be heard, the lord of this county has heard! ”
Zeng Jiuyan stiffly laughed.
"I didn't mean that......"
"I'll settle your account with you later." Yikang glared at him, then looked at Bai Yi, "Doctor Bai is really high-spirited, but are you too self-conscious?" ”
Bai Yi's throat moved, he looked at Yikang, whose eyes were slightly red, and withdrew his gaze with a little guilt, and looked at the floor with his eyes down.
“…… It's us who took the liberty of it. Bai Yi said, "These bastard words that Jiuyan and I said today, I hope the county lord will ...... Don't take it to heart."
"Enough!" Yikang frowned and interrupted loudly, "Who do you think this county lord is?" Is it the commercial goods that are placed on the shelves for you to pick and choose? This Pingjing City...... In this Pingjing City, no one has dared to say such a thing to me! ”
Bai Yi frowned, he blinked, and said after a long time, "...... I didn't think of it that way, I never thought of the county lord as a commodity on the shelf. ”
"What does it mean, 'Why don't I eat minced meat anyway?'" Yikang immediately retorted, "You answer me now!" ”
Bai Yi opened his mouth slightly, just wanting to explain, but then fell silent again.
“…… It's my bad words, it's my fault. Bai Yi's expression was serious, "This kind of thing, no matter in the future, I will never say it again." ”
The entire West Firewood Room fell silent.
The apprentices' eyes were on the door of the hospitality room.
Yikang didn't expect Bai Yi to react like this.
She originally wanted to quarrel with Bai Yi like this, and then brushed her sleeves away, but she didn't expect that the other party would directly admit her mistake.
Yikang wanted to continue to be angry, but looking at Bai Yi's expression, she suddenly felt a little aggrieved and had no fun in hitting a sandbag, but this big sandbag was still her favorite one.
"I ...... Unforgive! ”
Yikang's voice was slightly crying, and she herself sensed that something was wrong, she didn't come here to pretend to be pitiful, so she immediately pulled out the saber at her waist and slashed it at the frame sign with the word Bai Yi written on the wooden door.
With a crisp sound, Bai Yi's name tag hanging on the hospitality room was cut in half and fell to the ground at the same time.
Yicong breathes deeply.
“…… You don't have to think too much about it. The county lord said coldly, she looked directly into Bai Yi's eyes, "This inexplicable marriage, the county lord himself will go to the emperor to return." But if I hear this gossip again, your fate will be the same as this card! ”
"Yes." Bai Yi nodded and bowed to Yikang, "Bai Yi wrote it down." ”
Yikang didn't say anything more, turned around and strode away.
Zeng Jiuyan and Bai Yi in the room were standing in place, and they couldn't react for a while.
“…… Do you want to chase it? Zeng Jiuyan looked at Bai Yi.
"No, I don't think so." Bai Yi said softly, "I've said everything that needs to be said...... What's the use of catching up? ”
Zeng Jiuyan fell on the chair at this time and sighed softly.
"My mouth is really ......"
……
In the afternoon in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Chen Yicong, who had returned from Xuanqing Temple, had already changed his clothes, and at this time he sat in front of the desk to review the chapters.
Lu Dou ran in with brisk steps, "Your Majesty, the county lord of Yikang asked to see him early in the morning, and now people are still waiting at the left door." ”
Chen Yicong asked without raising his head, "What is she doing here?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, the county lord refuses to say, saying that he can't speak until he sees His Majesty in person."
"It's nothing more than marriage." Chen Yicong replied, "No, I don't have time." ”
Lu Dou replied in a low voice, and before he was about to retreat, Chen Yicong threw a copy of the music on the ground, and Lu Dou shuddered unexpectedly.
"You take this piece to the cabinet, and tell Wen Shichun to come to the palace to see me now!" Chen Yicong's face completely darkened, "What did he write!" ”
“…… Be. Lu Dou hurriedly leaned over and picked up the fold of the Ministry of Rites, and slowly retreated back facing Chen Yicong.
Before exiting the Heart Cultivation Palace, Lu Dou raised his head again and cautiously glanced at the emperor at the end.
Chen Yicong has already flipped through the new movement.
At present, all matters involving the northern border and the special imperial examination, even if they have been approved by the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, the emperor still has to go through them.
Chen Yicong is not like Emperor Jianxi, he rarely leaves ambiguous opinions on these family and state affairs, and all the replies are clearly written in the blank space of the chapter.
Sometimes there wasn't enough space to write, so he attached another piece of paper.
At first, the courtiers were really relieved, after all, it seemed that they didn't need to play dumb riddles like before, but over the past few years, everyone has gradually appreciated the pressure behind this style.
The emperor has already understood what he is saying, and no one can pretend not to understand, and it is even more difficult to pinch a target from the cabinet in this environment.
If you want to be rigid, you can only go to the front.
Lu Dou looked at Emperor Shengming with a grim face, and he had goosebumps all over his body again.
……
On this afternoon, Wen Shichun first entered the Yangxin Palace, and then several attendants from the Ministry of Rites were summoned immediately...... In the end, Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong's first and second assistants had to come forward in person and enter the palace to fish for people.
The arrogance shown by the Ministry of Rites in the matter of specializing in the imperial examination deeply angered the emperor. There were a few implicated in it, and the imperial historian Zhongcheng was directly dragged out of the noon gate in the afternoon.
Chen Yicong showed no mercy and personally ordered to "fight with heart".
In the evening, Chen Yicong got the "military order" from Sun Beiji, and in the spring examination next year, he wanted to see the two pilot projects of the special imperial examination in Pingjing and Huizhou.
This anger was half sincere, half in line with the fact that some people in the court and the central government were already dissatisfied with the cabinet's resignation in this matter, and now under the emperor's monstrous anger, Sun Beiji's affairs will only be better than before.
In the evening, the Heart Nourishing Hall became empty again.
Chen Yicong walked out of the palace gate alone, and the burning clouds in the western sky were in full swing, reflecting the entire snow-covered imperial city dazzlingly.
Lu Dou stepped forward, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat." ”
"Go to the courtyard." Chen Yicong said softly, "Bai Ling shouldn't have left yet, right?" ”
Lu Dou turned around and looked at the drip, "...... Should be. ”
Chen Yicong pondered for a moment, "Dinner will also be sent to the small courtyard, add a few more sweet dishes, and black taro porridge." ”
After that, Chen Yicong didn't even approve his robe, so he strode into the cold wind outside the hall, and Lu Dou exclaimed behind him that it was nothing more than some old sayings such as cold wind on snowy days and slippery on the ground, Chen Yicong was annoyed when he heard it.
In the continuous kneeling sound of the palace people on both sides, Chen Yicong ran up. 2k reading web
