114 Gunsmoke

Chu Ye didn't want to remember how he had spent last night at all. After playing chess with Sima Jin, he was left for dinner before returning home. And Chu Shan was already full of resentment, and he had been waiting for her in the mansion for half a day.

Listening to Xi Hui, Chu Shan has always insisted on waiting for Chu Ye to come back for dinner together, and because Chu Ye has not returned for a long time, she has not had dinner. Chu Ye apologized and reassured, and promised to go out next time, no matter what, he would take Chu Shan with him, which changed back to the smiling face of the little girl.

One after another, Chu Ye didn't sleep with his clothes until midnight.

And today is the great day of the 10-day day. Chu Ye didn't even sleep for two hours, so he had to get up, change clothes, wash, and get in the car to enter the palace.

She yawned and stood at the foot of the stone steps of the Fengtian Hall with a dejected face, waiting for the chamberlain to shout at the beginning of the early dynasty.

Chu Ye froze in place in a daze, his eyes half-closed. I only heard a low figure coming from behind me, "Lord Chu is now a member of the first grade, and he actually arrived early." In contrast, the lower officials are really derelict in their duties. "The middle-aged man who spoke was Sun Shaofu of the household department, and he was also from Chaju with Chu Ye. He was dressed in an indigo cloud goose court dress, wearing a black sand on his head, holding a wat board, and walking slowly towards Chu Ye with his feet.

As one of the six ministers, from the rank of a first-rank official, Chu Ye was naturally qualified to enter the Warm Pavilion, but she did not enter, but waited under the stone steps as before.

In today's court, there are not many officials from this background, among the six departments, there are eighteen scholars and servants, two-thirds of them are from families, and the rest are all imperial examinations, and their eyes are above the top. And these two kinds of people don't want to see Chu Ye. The former disliked her for not having a good family background, and the latter disliked her for not receiving a good education. In that case, why should she provoke them?

What's more, there are many interesting things in this imperial capital, which these high-ranking officials who claim their identities can't hear.

Chu Ye nodded with a faint smile and did not make a sound.

And just such a nod also made Sun Shaofu's wrinkled face full of courteous smiles.

Chu Ye knew him. It has been nearly 20 years since he entered the dynasty, and at the age of 30, he entered Beijing and worked in the position of the household department for 20 years, not to mention promotion, and even the official salary has not been raised.

Chu Ye also knew why.

The household department is in charge of the income of the mountains and seas, and the Western Jin Dynasty is as large, with many plains, surrounded by mountains, and the world's taxes. The household department is responsible for consolidating the calculations, and then collecting these taxes into the national treasury. This position seems to be beautiful, but in fact, the officials in front of the place where it can be deducted have been almost deducted, and when he arrives, there is basically only leftovers in his hands, and he can't squeeze any oil and water. And Shaofu is at the same level as Fengchang, it is a four-grade official, and the annual salary is only more than 20 stones, except for serving parents and caring for wives and children, how much money and food can be left. Sun Shaofu is a stunned young man, dedicated to politics, has no background, and has never been involved in business, so how can he have the money to reward his subordinates. Bribing bosses.

Without a silver channel, how could these bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods let him be promoted in vain.

Because of this, Sun Shaofu stayed in this position for twenty years.

Thinking of this, Chu Ye couldn't help but feel more sympathy for this Sun Shaofu.

"Alas," Sun Shaofu sighed again, "Seeing that Lord Chu is haggard, it must have been because he stayed up late last night to deal with official business and didn't sleep well." ”

Chu Ye hurriedly stood up straight and waved his hand, "Where are there so many official affairs to stay up late to deal with......" Halfway through her words, she saw a familiar figure, walking down quickly from the stone steps, bowing down and saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has already settled behind the palace, please enter the palace." ”

The ministers hurriedly bowed, and the little chamberlain saluted again, and then trotted back quickly.

Chu Ye saw that the ministers in the Warm Pavilion also got the news, and came out of the Warm Pavilion one after another. Accordingly, Fang Hongkuang, the Marquis of Yuan, was impressively listed. The corners of Chu Ye's mouth hooked, and he changed his tone in an instant, and said to Sun Shaofu: "Our Ministry of Rites is not as complicated as your household department, and the official documents are really not much, but they haven't been ...... recently" Chu Ye paused for a moment, and whispered mysteriously, "I'm busy with the case." ”

Sun Shaofu couldn't help but gasp.

The fraud case in the imperial examination was so big, how could he not know that he was an official in the court, but he didn't expect Chu Ye to tell such a secret thing to a four-grade petty official like him.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Chu Ye say: "This water...... It's very deep! ”

Sun Shaofu hurriedly lowered his head, a little emotional and a little uncomfortable, "Lord Chu, this is a matter of your Ministry of Rites, how can you tell me?" After speaking, as if he was not at ease, he pulled the sleeve of Chu Ye's robe and said softly: "The partition wall has ears!" ”

Judging from the current situation, Chu Ye can be said to be in full swing, and he will be an official in the year of the weak crown, and he will be promoted by the seven princes, and the future is very good. The low-ranking officials around had long wanted to come to Chu Ye's side to pay their respects, but they were just a step slower and were preempted by Sun Shaofu. But even this didn't affect them, and they all couldn't wait to prick up their ears and listen to what this mid-day Chu Shangshu had said.

Is it arrogant or humble.

Who would have thought that they would hear such exciting news!

Thinking of Chu Ye now, he can be regarded as a high position, obviously he didn't rest properly last night, but now he doesn't go to rest in the warm pavilion, everyone can't help but think of the "water depth" in Chu Ye's mouth, whether he is talking about those powerful people in the warm pavilion!

Whispers erupted, and the sound of stumbling chatter almost drowned out the entire square.

What Chu Ye wanted was such an effect.

Fang Hongkuang didn't look down on her background, but he was worried that she would find out his bottom line, so he would definitely not follow her uncharacteristically to find out the news. Therefore, the only feasible thing is to send her almost factual news to his ears through others.

When the news is released, it will inevitably make him panic and make mistakes in his busyness, and she can just take the opportunity to get the evidence!

The afterglow from the corner of Chu Ye's eyes swept towards everyone around him, and he couldn't wait to laugh three times in his heart.

Now she is indeed from a humble background, even if she has reached the first grade, she still has no right to speak in the court, but it doesn't matter, the many low-ranking officials under the stone steps are his best mouthpiece.

Fang Hongkuang is stubborn and conceited, if he thinks that he has found out something, although he will not come to test something in person, but everyone is talking about this matter, he will inevitably feel empty-hearted.

Something went wrong in the busy.

Chu Ye just wanted to grasp the many mistakes he made in his panic and use them as his own evidence to submit them to the imperial case!

Speaking of which, Chu Ye also wants to thank this Sun Shaofu, Sun Shaofu's sentence "The wall has ears" must have been said after careful consideration, but because of this, it added a lot of realism to her today's scene!

Whether it was deliberate or simply not wanting her to suffer, Chu Ye wrote down this favor.

She glanced at Sun Shaofu with gratitude, walked up the stone steps, and said to Sun Shaofu: "It's me who is frivolous." It's just that...... I, alas......" Chu Ye said, and sighed again, "I'm really angry!" ”

Sun Shaofu followed Chu Ye's footsteps and asked softly, "Why is this?" ”

Chu Ye shook his head and stopped talking, looking unfathomable, and even more fished the curiosity of those who pricked up their ears.

Song Hanfei looked at the commotion on Chu Ye's side and snorted coldly: "Heh, the people in the countryside are the most uneducated!" ”

As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, Song Hanfei's identity is naturally precious, and when he said this, someone immediately echoed: "Isn't it? I don't know why Emperor Taizu gave grace to these poor families back then and gave them a chance to enter the court as officials. ”

"What kind of vision can you have from the cultivation of a small family," another person agreed, and glanced at the other side disdainfully as he spoke, "It's good not to add to the chaos!" ”

There is only one row of stone steps that can enter the Fengtian Palace, and this group of people came out of the warm pavilion with Song Hanfei in their arms, and they were also going to Chu Ye's side. They didn't deliberately lower their voices when they spoke, so the people on Chu Ye's side heard their harsh and ridiculed very clearly.

They really don't have a good background, but with their political achievements and studies, they finally ascended to the court. Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, who can be more noble than whom?

Song Hanfei still seemed to think that the matter was not big enough, he strode forward, stepped on the stone steps with one foot, glanced at Chu Ye, and said with disdain: "Isn't it!" ”

The courtiers on both sides each hugged their own leaders, and the smoke of gunpowder gradually spread, and the war was about to break out!
