The three of them all stared at Jun Qi's face.

"What? I was delayed for a while just now, didn't I already tell you to eat first and don't wait for me? Jun Yi took the handkerchief handed by the man and wiped it, and picked up the chopsticks as if nothing had happened.

The man carefully hung his cloak on the rail, and went downstairs with a tea tray and a handkerchief. After a while, there was the sound of people rolling down the stairs, hitting the cupboard before stopping, and then the sound of broken porcelain was heard one after another, and the scene must have been very tragic. But from beginning to end, he was stunned and didn't say a word, and obviously heard the sound of someone coming to help clean up, but it was still silent, as if it was disturbing anyone.

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all felt that the atmosphere had become very strange, but it seemed that Jun Qi had obviously been used to it for a long time, and said casually:

"How's it going, the dishes are still to taste, right?"

Xue He nodded inherently.

"Did you come out on temporary leave? I didn't even change my official uniform. He asked casually.

"Yes, I told the emperor that there were relatives at home, but the emperor said: Can your relatives have a fart business? Don't approve! Let's get the job done! ”

Jun Yi ate a mouthful of food angrily and drank again:

"I can't say that you're here, so he has to hold on to me and deliberately fix me. Alas. ”

Jun Yi said to Xue He: "Tell me, I haven't offended him, and he always finds fault with me!" Well, when this is over, you'll have to let him go to the stables every day to serve me — at least for a year, or else it's not over. ”

"How's it going to be in a year? As for today, at least two years to start! Xue He got up seriously and sandwiched a piece of meat for him: "Or, turn him into a horse for you to ride!" How about letting him work for you every day, letting him out to eat grass when he is hungry, and pumping him to relieve boredom when he is idle? ”

Jun Qi looked at her with a complicated expression, and swallowed hard: "I think it's the biggest punishment for him to know you!" …… Well, forget it, it's not easy to blame the pitiful. ”

Jun Yi has always been a soft-hearted and indiscriminate good person, good-tempered and never holds grudges, as long as it is not principled, it will be over after complaining.

He smiled and asked, "Why are so many people afraid of you now?" You see, since you went upstairs, the good restaurant has been like martial law. ”

"Ahem."

Jun Yi sighed and pointed to the flying fish suit on his body: "It's not me that they're afraid of, it's this skin." As for Qin Bai's current little temper, who is not afraid when he pulls down his face? Torture to extract confessions, beat boards, raid homes and behead heads, what kind of dirty work is not done by Jinyiwei? As a result, as long as Jinyiwei shows up, it means that someone will definitely be unlucky, from the civil and military officials to the common people, how can anyone not be afraid? ”

Xuehe flattened his mouth: "Make everyone endanger, arrest and kill people casually, and he is the emperor like this?" ”

"It's not enough!"

Jun Qi said: "Let's just talk about the thing that stumbled me!" It is said that the manuscript review is not strict, and a clerk who is responsible for transcribing the manuscript wrote a white character, and the first school and the second school were not reviewed, but they were found out by the emperor! As a result, all the scribes who were next to that person suffered with him, and as soon as the big board was rewarded, the butts of dozens of people were beaten, just like this stewed elbow! Tsk, I think eighty percent of this vote will be abolished, and I have to urge the officials to recruit people again next month. ”

There are no taboos when Jun Qi talks about this, after all, the scene of spanking the board has long been strange. While babbling, he picked up an elbow and ate with relish.

He sighed in his heart, and silently put down his chopsticks with an unhappy face.

Jun Qi didn't realize it, but still continued: "The vacancy of the scribe last month has not been filled, and now it has been abolished again!" I don't cut leeks like this! Originally, there was not enough manpower on the editing side, but this time it was even more nervous! But if the progress is delayed because of this, and the specified number of words cannot be completed at the end of the month, the emperor will not listen to them to find a reason! I'm afraid that someone will be beheaded again. ”

Xue He blinked and said in surprise: "It's just a book repair, do you need to make it so bloody?" ”

"He is the emperor, his behavior is in line with the rules of the game, and the purpose is for contract rather than personal reasons, so I can only admonish and not interfere."

Jun Yi shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "He is really concerned about the matter of repairing books. Claiming to be a collection of hundreds of opinions, all kinds of classic ancient books to be included, all categories to be involved in the encyclopedia, unprecedented kind! Eh, the ideal of a reader, I don't understand it anyway.

But, on the other hand, he wants to make an errand sooner so that he can regain his freedom to go to you—isn't that a screw-up? If you want to do things all over the world, but you don't want to lower your standards, you have to do it as soon as possible, how is that possible! ”

He was talking energetically, but he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Alas, you said that you should come out for a good meal, what do you have to do with all this business?" Haven't you had enough of this complaining? ”

Since the battle was over, the other brothers had already paid their errands and wandered around happily, leaving Junqi to fight with him to the end and supervise him to finish the book before he could call it a day. However, Junqi is still a meticulous dead brain, reporting all kinds of miscellaneous matters of the court to the court twice in three days; Since he reported it, he couldn't ignore it, and he had to send an envoy down again, so that everyone couldn't be at peace.

"Fourth brother, don't stop him, let him finish."

He shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing that she was interested, Jun Qi began to talk endlessly.

Today, after arguing with the ministers, he directly stripped the officials of their pants and dragged them to the square to the big board and spanked them; Ming'er didn't know which one went wrong and was caught by him, bringing out a large number of people to follow the bad luck - anyway, since the day Qin Bai ascended the throne, it has not stopped for a moment.

Don't look at Qin Bai's ability to fight, but he is really handy and very talented when he cleans up the minister.

Although the emperor in the past also had the right to beat the minister's board, this kind of punishment was rarely used. The main reason is to take care of face, on the one hand, for fear of appearing as a monarch with a narrow heart and intolerable people; On the other hand, the court is a place of strategy and wisdom, and the casual use of force will make people feel unreasonable, and only simple-minded people will abuse violence.

However, the main reason is that he is afraid that these literati will arrange themselves in the history books and end up with a bad reputation as a faint tyrant - but he is obviously not afraid, anyway, he scolds Zhao Zheng, and he has nothing to do with himself.

At first, the ministers were in the court, but anyone who disagreed with him and dared to go toe-for-tat with him would be directly dragged out of the board by the Jinyi guard. After many times, the ministers complained, and Jun Qi found him and admonished him very seriously: This is not good, the court is a place to discuss political affairs, if you disagree with someone and beat someone, then who will dare to speak in the future? The emperor could not be so believable, and had to allow people to express different opinions.

When he heard this, he did not refute it, and said, "Okay."

So, when another minister had an argument with him in person, he ignored it, singled out the man from a large pile of folds on his desk, and threw him to the ground. That person must be dissatisfied, and he must defend himself and say where have I scolded the emperor?

At this time, Qin Bai opened the fold and pointed it out to him sentence by sentence.

In order to show that they are outstanding, these ministers always like to quote scriptures and borrow poems or allusions from the ancients to corroborate and polish them. But when it comes to him, no matter what you write or quote, any word or phrase that is taken out of context can be distorted into a strange meaning by him.

What hides the head and the tail, jumps the words, similes, metaphors, all kinds of word games that I have never even heard of, in the blink of an eye, a good piece of music was criticized by him Zhu as a rebellious article, and he can always come up with allusions and evidence, which makes people speechless.

Qin Bai is really very knowledgeable, no matter how rigorous your writing style is, even if it is a sycophant article without any achievements and full of flattery, it is not a problem to make up a reason for you to be beaten from a thousand-word article! And there is no denial in black and white. didn't say that you deliberately rebelled because it was already discounted in front of acquaintances, so if you know each other, hurry up and thank you to get out and get the board.

Later, the ministers found out that the emperor was not only very good at fighting, but also was professional-level at the level of chewing words, and no one could play word games at all, and he was never tired of it. And he makes no secret of his intention to spank you, but the reason he finds is irrefutable, it is completely a double crushing of academic bullying, knowledgeable and quick-witted.

The ministers hated him so much, but they couldn't fight him every time, and he could always get caught.

The last time was for the relocation of the capital. A cabinet minister of the second rank of the court declared in fierce rhetoric that the relocation of the capital to the north was a great drain on the country's financial resources, which would not benefit the country at all, and would shake the foundation of the empire. Not only is this behavior completely unnecessary, but it is also extremely selfish and stupid.

This is clearly a blatant declaration of war.

Qin Bai listened to him quietly, and opened his recital unhurriedly as usual. It was a second-class official, an old minister of the two dynasties with white hair, and a scholar of Wenhua Palace. The whole article is delicate and neat, the layout is pleasing to the eye, and you can know at a glance that you have a deep foundation in calligraphy.

However, such a person with academic knowledge and high morality, not only did he not quote a single poem or allusion in the whole article, but even the idioms were used very little, basically all in the vernacular, and the length was extremely short, to the effect that he asked the emperor to give up the idea of moving the capital.

Qin Bai couldn't help but laugh in his heart: It seems that this is really a lot of effort, in order to deal with a paranoid and eccentric emperor who loves to go off the rails, you old scholars can put down your body and write this kind of thing, and you are also fighting.

He quietly closed the fold, handed it to the eunuch beside him, and said:

"Post the original text to the door of the cabinet for publicity, and copy another copy to the Wenhua Palace, so that everyone can see and understand, this is the level of writing of my cabinet ministers and members of the second rank court. Holding the court's Yulu, just write this thing to fool the couplet? I'm going to convince him of this official! ”

Yes, the rules of the game have changed again, and without prior notice.
