Chapter 54: Half a son-in-law
Xiao Chen had just finished washing, and a little eunuch who was the master of ceremonies came to report, saying that the emperor was in court today, and he asked his father-in-law to go over and serve immediately.
As a eunuch, even if he is a eunuch of the Sanpin Celebrant and the Eunuch Bingbi, he is not qualified to participate in politics, at most he is to pass on the holy decree or something.
And generally serving by the side of Emperor Li Wanjiang is the great eunuch Gong Shouli, but it is not his turn to write Xiao Chen.
"Where's Gonggong?" Xiao Chen asked casually.
"Gong's father-in-law, his old man contracted a cold some time ago, and he has been recuperating." The little eunuch said busily.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? I've been so busy lately that I don't even know that I'm going to visit in person when I get back. Xiao Chen said he was shocked.
The heart said that Gong Shouli had a fart disease?
Sickness is also heart disease!
The last incident made him extremely embarrassed, because his henchman Zhao Laifu turned out to be an assassin sent by the Tianxuan Society!
He has been hiding by his side for so long, and he doesn't know anything, which shows that he is extremely incompetent.
It is said that the emperor was furious and sent him to scold a dog blood sprinkler!
This guy was frightened and depressed, so he became depressed and bedridden.
Hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed all the way to the emperor's bedroom, in fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry, but the emperor summoned you, and you have to have an attitude, right?
When I arrived outside the Qinzheng Palace, I saw dozens of senior officials of the court standing at the door, talking in twos and threes, talking to each other.
When they saw Xiao Chen coming, they all nodded and smiled as a greeting.
Xiao Chen didn't dare to talk to them on this occasion, so he just kept smiling and passed through the middle ...... quickly
But the two officials, one fat and one thin, couldn't help but say something, and they were dragged aside.
"Lord Li, Lord Liu, don't pull me, the emperor is in a hurry to summon me!" Xiao Chen couldn't break free, and he looked helpless.
The fat man's name is Li Hong, and he is the master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry, and the thin man is called Liu Wenzheng, who is the fifth rank of the Thirteenth Division of the Ministry of Households.
These two got acquainted with Xiao Chen by installing a heating system in this yamen, and their relationship was not bad, so they stopped him on this occasion.
"Lord Xiao, my brothers and I heard that we are going to discuss a big matter today, do you know what the matter is?" Li Hong looked around at no one and whispered for advice.
"You tell us, so that our brothers can have a number in their hearts, right?" Liu Wenzheng said.
"I don't know, but it may be about Chen Jisheng." Xiao Chen also wanted to have a good relationship with these two, and besides, it was not a secret, so he was not pretentious and told him bluntly.
Oh...... The two nodded together, but they didn't know what our emperor meant in his heart? Do you love him Chen Jisheng, or hate him?
This Xiao Chen is not easy to say clearly, he can only hint at them all at once.
The emperor's thoughts, how dare we guess?
But I heard that Zhu Xiaochuan, the governor of Jinyiwei, and Wang Anbang, the secretary of the ministry, both want to protect Lord Chen.
Can't you? The two were taken aback when they heard this, how could Wang Anbang protect Chen Jisheng?
Father-in-law Xiao, I'm afraid that this source is not very accurate!
"The emperor is wise and martial, and he is resolute in his work, but he has never issued an order to punish Lord Chen...... It's really strange to say. Xiao Chen said and left.
He could only hint at it.
As for whether the two can comprehend, it depends on their comprehension ability.
trotted all the way to the emperor's dormitory, kowtowing to say goodbye.
Sure enough, Li Wanjiang was very satisfied when he saw him sweating profusely and looking honestly afraid.
While wearing a dragon robe and a Taiping golden crown under the service of several eunuchs, he casually reprimanded two sentences and his tone was quite affectionate: "Why are you in such a hurry?" You are all a great eunuch of the third grade, and your usual words and deeds should be more dignified! ”
"Take those few pieces on the table, go to court with me!"
Why did the emperor suddenly have such a good attitude towards the master, I am afraid that there is something difficult to do and I want the master to do it.
Maybe it's just a matter of going home with Concubine Liu to save her family.
Why don't you go as a son-in-law? But let me work all the way, thousands of miles away!
But speaking of which, he can be regarded as half of the son-in-law of Liu Ruyun's family, right?
More than half.
Xiao Chen, as the master of ceremonies, has been told his responsibilities since he took office, but it is only the first time he has practiced, and he can't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Hurriedly picked up a few pieces on the imperial case, bowed his head and bent down like a small shrimp to follow the emperor closely, all the way to the Qinzheng Palace.
The ministers of civil and military affairs have been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Li Wanjiang coming, they knelt down and kowtowed together, saying Long live our emperor, long live it.
At this moment, should Xiao Chen rush to the palace and shout, if there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat?
But it's all played in TV series, and the real dynasty doesn't have such a program.
And all the ministers are not all standing, but each has a seat, otherwise a major event in the court will be discussed, and his feet will not hurt?
The young ones are okay, but the older ones are in a hurry and fainted, and they are still talking about?
The rules that ministers must stand when they see the emperor were only in the Song Dynasty, and it was not officially regulated until the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the DPRK-China deliberations in the Great Zhou Dynasty are not much different from the current meetings.
It's just a little more etiquette and a less table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be polite." Li Wanjiang seemed to enjoy the feeling of being bowed down to, and waited for a long time before signaling the big guy to get up and speak.
"Last night, Zhu Xiaochuan, the Marquis of Pingyang, and Wang Anbang, the secretary of the ministry, gave me an excerpt, talking about the matter of Chen Jisheng...... Xiao Chen, you read the two excerpts to the big guy. ”
Turned his head to look at Xiao Chen.
"Minister Zhu Xiaochuan respects Chen Jisheng, offended the saint and went to prison for his crimes!" Xiao Chen cleared his throat, opened Zhu Xiaochuan's recital, and read it aloud.
The voice is clear, the speech is clear, the words are round, the yin and yang are frustrated, every word is pronounced, and everyone in the hall can hear it clearly.
Everyone thought in their hearts that Xiao Chen's reading skills were a hundred times better than Gong Shouli's!
Gong Shouli didn't have much culture, and he usually recited a piece of music as if he was pulling dry poop, and it was hard to listen to it.
And the voice is also hoarse and ugly, sharp and thin, similar to the call of a duck.
Look at Xiao Chen, as soon as you stand on it, you will be so jade tree in the wind, Yue Zhi Yuanyu!
The words that come out and the words that come out are so pleasant to hear.
It's a pleasure both visually and audibly.
That's how my eunuch in Da Zhou should be!
The content of the two pieces is very simple, and it is also similar, that is, to excuse Chen Jiji's intercession.
It's just that the ending is slightly different.
Wang Anbang hopes that the emperor will be merciful and spare Chen Jisheng's life, so let him return to his hometown and retire.
Zhu Xiaochuan said that although Chen Jiji committed a great crime, he had always been diligent, otherwise he would have been demoted by five levels in a row and find a remote small broken county town to be a county magistrate.
Let him be grateful to the emperor for his grace and work hard to make meritorious contributions, otherwise it would be a pity......
