Zhao Mengqi was urgently summoned to the palace, and Lao Zhao taught him a hard lesson in front of the ministers of the political hall, and scolded him so much that he was bloody and incomplete.

Lao Zhao didn't want to beat him again, but how could a few ministers do something unseemly in front of him by the officials, so they could only dissuade him with bitter words.

When Zhao Guanjia was tired of scolding, Dong Huai and the others didn't want to say anything more about King Yan, and they gave a few words of programmatic advice.

In the end, Zhao Guanjia made a "severe" punishment decision against Zhao Mengqi.

first took his three official titles of Tongpingzhang Military Affairs, Lin'an Mansion Yin, and Yushi Dafu, and then ordered him to be grounded for three months, and strictly restricted his guards from entering the city, and then fined him 10,000 catties of copper.

10,000 catties of copper, with a market price of nearly 20,000 yuan, is a lot of money for most people, but for the "King of Wealth", it is not a matter at all.

However, the three official positions that were removed, although they were already a bit of a fictitious title, were gone, and Zhao Mengqi wanted to interfere in the government and politics, and he was even more infamous.

If he is not allowed to enter the city at will, he will also lose his capital of "bullying others", and as for the grounding, it is a disguised imprisonment.

Several ministers are not satisfied with this punishment, but they can't find anything wrong, King Yan is not an ordinary person after all, and the prince who violates the law and commits the same crime with the people only exists in the story.

Zhao Mengqi, who was "severely punished", patted his buttocks, rolled out of the imperial city "grayly", and then rolled out of Lin'an City, and returned to his palace in the dark.

On the second day, it happened to be the fifth and sixth days of the court, and there were more officials who participated in the court.

The civil officials were in turmoil, and the voices of impeachment of King Yan were everywhere, and Yang Dong, as Zhao Mengqi's teacher, was affected by Chiyu and received many attacks.

At this time, Zhao Guanjia took out his housekeeping skills again and played Tai Chi with the ministers.

What is said that the Salesian Bureau was set up by himself, and there is such a big problem, when his son is impulsive under anger, it is also understandable, which shows that King Yan is affectionate and filial, but the way of doing things is not appropriate, young people, everyone should understand more.

Besides, there is some truth in King Yan's words, but the country's relief place is used by corrupt officials to seek personal gain, and even disregard human life in a frenzy, so how can the government win the trust of the people again?

Such a malignant abscess is extremely harmful to the court and the country, of course, the sooner it is eradicated, the better, although King Yan's methods are a little fierce, it can't be said to be wrong......

Moreover, I have already taught him a hard lesson, so let's stop holding on to it, it's been a busy year, isn't it good to stay in a good mood for the New Year?

That's it, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a pleading.

Seeing that the official family looked like an old father pleading for his son, it was not easy for them to continue to persecute, so they pinched their noses and accepted the punishment of King Yan.

As for the fight, it was also brought out and discussed, but it was confirmed that no one was killed, so in the end, in the tradition of preferential treatment of scholars, he just raised the board high, dropped it gently, and issued a reprimand, no longer pursuing it.

After the court meeting, some officials scolded their mothers in their hearts, and they were so engaged by King Yan, the original plan to put him on the throne could only be temporarily shelved, and they could only hide and vent their anger.

Some people think of what King Yan did in the past, and they can't help but suspect that he is deliberately defiling himself, like a loach, slippery.

No matter what you think in your heart, anyway, the last court meeting of Baoyu in four years is over, and if you have any thoughts, you will talk about it next year.

As a result, the official face put an end to King Yan's indiscriminate punishment.

And in the folk, it still has a long aftertaste.

The picture of the Royal Street Dharma Field that day made the people present unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

In particular, the scarlet bodies of the four severed hands and feet squirmed and wept in a pile of corpses with separate heads, making all onlookers feel as if they were in hell.

This scene lasted for more than an hour, and Zhao Heyun, who was waiting for the scene to be cleared, asked the soldiers to finish off the four of them.

During this time, many people couldn't bear to leave, and many people came to see it, and about half of the people in Lin'an City had witnessed it with their own eyes.

I don't know how many people have been nightmares on the night of their childhood

Awakened.

The discussion of the matter continued for the next few days, and many people were able to go around it without a few words when they met.

When talking about Yan Wang, most people have a little more fear on their faces, but strangely, there are very few negative comments.

It is not simply because of Zhao Mengqi's New Year's gifts, which made the people of Lin'an eat people's mouths.

But in this year, because of the development and construction of the new city and massive capital investment, the entire Lin'an economy has been active, and hundreds of people have benefited.

The people may not be able to see through the doorway, but they can basically understand that it is King Yan who makes everyone's life a little better.

There are a few more copper plates in the pocket, and even if the atmosphere is weird, the smell of this year is still much stronger than in previous years.

All things welcome spring and send remnants, and the end of the year is tonight.

The days flickered to Chinese New Year's Eve, and after nightfall, the palace first heard the sound of firecrackers and the cheers of the palace people.

The sound crossed the deep wall of the high courtyard, spread to the outside of the palace, and then passed along the royal street from south to north, and the streets and alleys and alleys of the market competed to set off all kinds of firecrackers and fireworks.

At this time, there is little difference between firecrackers and later generations, and it is also wrapped in gunpowder with paper rolls, with more than 100 varieties, single rings, double rings, continuous sounds, and two kicks that only exploded when they flew into the sky.

There are also many kinds of fireworks, such as "ground mice" that scurry on the ground after being lit, "water rats" that circle on the surface of the water, turtles that spit fire, cranes that catch fire, and wheels that go off the fire, and different colors such as pear blossoms, apricot blossoms, and bright peonies.

The ingenuity of the world is heavenly, and the refining of medicine is the same as the light of the day.

The catkins fly and the remnants are paved white, and the peach blossoms are full of red.

They are as brilliant as starfalls, and they are as noisy as fire.

The night after that, turn over the flowers and brocade, and do not worry about falling to the east wind.

Zhao Mengfu, who later wrote this poem, will be three years old after tonight, and at this time he can only drool and watch his seven brothers play happily with envy.

His old lady Qiu Shi hugged him, wiped his saliva carefully, and turned her head to look at his father, who seemed to be stunned, "Official... Official!"

After shouting several times, Zhao Youxu woke up, "What's the matter, madam?"

"This New Year, how can the officials seem to have lost their souls?" Qiu said angrily.

Zhao Youxu smiled awkwardly, "Thinking about official business, I accidentally lost my mind."

Qiu Shi smiled, "You haven't taken office yet, where did you come from?"

Zhao and Zhi Baoyou served as the prefect of Pingjiang Mansion for one year in the first year, that is, Liu Xiuren's predecessor, and then transferred to Ningguo Mansion, just stepped down a month ago and returned to Lin'an, and is now waiting.

Two days ago, I received news that after the New Year, the imperial court would appoint him as the Changping Division and the governor of Lin'an Mansion in western Zhejiang.

Speaking of which, these two official positions have something to do with Zhao Mengqi, and the predecessor of Chang Pingsi in Zhejiang is Xie Tang, and the predecessor of Lin'an Mansion is Ma Guangzu.

After Ma Guangzu was transferred to the position of envoy along the Yangtze River, the court thought that King Yan was still hanging on to Lin'an Mansion anyway, so he was not in a hurry to fill the vacancy, and only let the general judge manage things.

When Zhao Mengqi was dismissed, it was not good to continue to drag it out, and it happened that Zhao Youzhi also served as a Lin'an judge seven or eight years ago, and his qualifications were just right, so he threw it to him, and officially issued an edict after the year.

But at the moment, Zhao Youxu is a little incomprehensible to the situation, and feels that this position is a bit hot, so he naturally thinks about more things.

But there is no need to tell the woman about this, so she snorted, "I will also perform my duties after the year."

Qiu didn't think much about it, and remembered what he was going to say, "Official, I heard that His Royal Highness King Yan's new sect has been largely completed, and he will enter school in February, and when the time comes, the children of the clan who are over fifteen years old in other places and over six years old in Lin'an must go, it seems that there is still some kind of closed management, our family from Lang to Wulang can be among them, and the older ones are just a few of them, but Shiro is nine years old, and Wulang is six years old, I'm afraid I'm not used to leaving home at this age, you see, why don't you go and talk to His Royal Highness King Yan through New Year's greetings, and be accommodating?"

The Qiu family is a continuation of the string, the fifth and eighth are born to her, and the others are born to the original Li family and the concubine.

I have to say that Zhao and Yu can really give birth, and at this time they already have eight sons and eleven daughters

, Zhao Guan's family should be very envious of him.

He listened to his wife's words at this time, and couldn't help frowning, "I have never had anything to do with His Royal Highness King Yan, how can I suddenly open this mouth?"

"What's this, it's a big deal to invite your concubine uncle and Qian Taifu when the time comes, even if King Yan doesn't give you face as your uncle, you have to give face to your uncle and the Qian family."

Qiu's uncle was Qiu Yue, who returned to Lin'an after leaving office, and the imperial court was originally ready to transfer him to a new position, but he politely refused on the grounds that he was old and frail and could not work hard.

Qian Taifu, it is Qian Duo's father Qian Tao, the relationship between the Zhao and Qian families is not ordinary, and Qian Tao and Zhao have a very good personal relationship.

However, Zhao Youxu felt that King Yan was an elusive person at this time, and he didn't want to deal with him a little, of course, this would definitely be inevitable after taking office.

Seeing his hesitation, Qiu Shi said again, "Da Lang is fifteen years old after the New Year, I am afraid that he will not only enter the sect, but even enter the Yan Wang Guard, not to mention how hard and dangerous it is to be a soldier, just say that he has joined the Yan Wang Guard, and he will inevitably become a rough embryo who kills people without blinking, you see that Zhao Heyun has only followed the Yan King for less than a year, and he has become cold-blooded and tyrannical, and he can do it by skinning people alive......

These words made Zhao Youxu's face darken, and touched the worry in his heart, although he did not take the Jinshi examination, but only made up for the entry with shade, but he was a real literati, and he didn't want his son to become a vulgar martial artist.

"Okay, after tomorrow's court meeting, I will invite Uncle Qiu Shishu and Brother Youzhai to pay New Year's greetings to His Royal Highness King Yan, and you will prepare the gifts with your heart."

"It's been prepared a long time ago, let the subordinates wait for you at Chaotianmen tomorrow." Qiu Shi is happy.

Zhao Youxu shook his head, "Don't be too happy, King Yan...... I'm afraid he's not a good talker, and his personality is a bit unlike the Zhao family."

As he spoke, he subconsciously turned his gaze to the east, in the direction of Yanwangfu.
