Chapter 431: Duty
"Don't drink water." Wu Jin took the water bladder from Cheng Ting's side and put it under the seat.
Cheng Ting yawned and sat down next to Wu Jin, feeling relieved: "I didn't close my eyes all night last night, and Hui Ran also made me unable to sleep, so let me simply go out to watch the door and tell Xiao Huang to sleep for a while." ā
Wu Jin sat next to him and listened to him complain, although the sun had not yet risen, there was already heat on the ground, plus a hot Cheng Ting, he also felt sweaty when he sat in the carriage.
He listened to Cheng Ting's trivial family affairs, and imagined the joys, sorrows, and sorrows between husband and wife, not all of them were you and me, but also quarrels, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and even a dog in his family was very lively.
Outside the carriage is equally lively, and the voices of the people on the street are like boiling porridge, which is reminiscent of the peaceful scene of the prosperous era.
In the room outside the palace gate, it is also very noisy.
The duty room is not divided into east and west compartments, but a large duty room, all the civil and military courtiers are packed in, a Taishi chair is placed in the middle of the room, no one dares to go up and sit down, the Taishi chair is lowered, and several circle chairs are placed on the left and right, Huang Yunshu and Cheng Taishan sit opposite each other, both of them are energetic and angry.
Huang Yunshu didn't have the slightest smile, and asked directly: "Cheng Chongzheng, this rice price is about to catch up with the disaster year, for the sake of the relationship between the two of us, after the court, I will return the strip to you, and you will consider it again when you go back." ā
"Who the fuck wants to have a relationship with you! Lao Tzu told you 800 times that this batch of grain was bought by the spies sent to the Jokhang capital city pretending to be wronged! ā
"Spies are not spies, it's all your mouth, how do I know if it's true or not."
Cheng Taishan was so angry that he couldn't speak, and slapped it on the table, and the other people in the room were scared, and they had the heart to step forward to persuade them, but they were afraid that they would hurt the pond fish - Cheng Taishan's hand strength was not small, even if he didn't fight, it would not be comfortable to wipe it.
"It's all said to be spies! Scouts! The matter of spies, I tell you so clearly, then I will simply go to Fufeng Mountain and tell the world who is a spy! ā
Huang Yunshu immediately said: "Then you have to convince me." ā
Cheng Taishan spread his hands: "How can I convince you, I'll send you over there and see for yourself?" ā
"I don't care about this, anyway, the money spent from my Huang someone's hand must be a clear account!"
Cheng Taishan made him speechless, he had never eaten such a big deflated in his life, and he had the heart to beat Huang Yunshu, but it was impossible, so he leaned back in a reluctant voice: "You know a fart!" ā
There was no ice basin in the duty room, he was sweating hot, reached out and pulled his shirt hard, took a sip of tea on the small table, and spit out a tea stalk with a "bah".
Nomadic Qing and Chong Tao belonged to the Chongzheng Yuan, and they also glared angrily at Huang Yunshu and others, and Yin Nan sat in the chair and wandered out of the world, which made the atmosphere in the room more and more embarrassing.
Qi Wenbing quietly slipped out of the door and looked out.
Hou Fuzhong came out behind him and asked in a low voice, "Why hasn't Wu Xiang come yet?" ā
It seems that when Wu Jin comes, the contradictions between the two mansions of Wen and Wu will be eliminated.
Qi Wenbing shook the folding fan wildly, and loosened his clothes, before he could speak, there was a sound of a carriage rolling over the bluestone slab, he hurriedly ran out a few steps, and saw two forbidden soldiers moving the horse stool, needless to say, he knew that it was the carriage of Wufu.
He hurriedly entered the duty room: "Wu Xiangye is here." ā
The room was quiet, the tense atmosphere was relaxed, everyone knew that Wu Jin was well-dressed, no matter how hot she was, she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly put on a right-angled hat and smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes.
Huang Yunshu was afraid that Cheng Taishan's wicked person would sue first, so he rushed out of the door and looked at the carriage.
The carriage had stopped, and the officials walked out in an endless stream, standing straight, and then opened the curtain with one hand, but it was Cheng Ting who came out of it.
Cheng Ting didn't use a stool, he jumped directly to the ground, and as soon as he looked up, he saw his mortal enemy, Lang Qi Wenbing, who used to be a state scholar of arithmetic.
"Deputy Envoy Qiā"
He was just about to greet him warmly, when he saw Cheng Taishan come out of the duty room, he looked at him coldly, his eyes were vicious, obviously as long as he dared to be embarrassed, Cheng Taishan would dare to ask for a monk on the spot.
He immediately became a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, stood beside the carriage with his tail between his legs, and lifted the curtain for Wu Jin.
Wu Jin got out of the carriage and stepped on the stool with one leg, like Huang Yunshu and Cheng Taishan, he was also a right-angled head, with a purple round-necked wide-sleeved shirt, a white jade leather belt around his waist, and black leather boots.
He didn't look at his colleagues who bowed and saluted, but first looked at the gate of the city tower and palace, on the roof, a huge bright moon was sinking, heaven and earth, and the palace intersected at this moment, nine vertical and horizontal ninety-eighty-one golden nails, shining.
Behind the city tower, the palace is magnificent, the jade hall is a golden horse, the Huabiao supports the sky, the spirit flag shines on the water, it is the place of Daqi'an Sheji, the place where the queen receives the mandate of heaven.
Wu Jin retracted his gaze, turned around and went to the straight room with his colleagues, Huang Yunshu once again grabbed ahead of Cheng Taishan, and said loudly behind Wu Jin.
Wu Jin listened while walking, and after listening, he sat down in the Taishi's chair, comforted Huang Yunshu in a few words, and asked Cheng Taishan to go backwards and explain the matter of the spy to himself.
And they were quiet, and sat or stood, and listened to him.
"The tabloid that arrived last night, the Zhao Wude Division reported that the third division made Lu Zhongnong use his power to embezzle forty percent of the taxes in ten states, and set up a clever name, tyrannical and greedy, and secretly hid more than ten treasury of gold and silver, the Zhao Emperor was furious, handed over Lu Zhongnong to the Wu Desi for interrogation, and reported directly to Zhao Zhan, His Majesty already knows about this matter, if Your Majesty asks, you should also be careful."
The people in the room on duty looked surprised, put the dispute between Fang Cai Huang and Cheng behind, and carefully pondered Wu Jin's words.
Lu Zhongnong is an old minister of the Third Division, and there has never been anything harsh, Wu Desi suddenly denounced, is it a false accusation, or does Lu Zhongnong really have so much gold and silver?
Someone asked about the doubts in their hearts.
Huang Yunshu shook his head: "False accusations are useless to Zhao, Wu Desi dares to denounce, he must have obtained evidence, but it was too sudden." ā
Cheng Ting's mouth was as fast as Huang Yunshu's, and the person stood at the end, but his voice was very loud: "Now they have silver in the treasury!" ā
The words are not rough.
Cheng Taishan looked solemn: "Emperor Zhao's move, governing the officialdom, enriching the treasury, and saving the hearts of the people, I'm afraid the next step is to serve evenly, which is not good for us." ā
Wu Jin nodded: "Don't worry too much, this move is not rich in the country, and in a hurry, too much emphasis on the use of the Wu De Division, will make the monarch and the ministers even more discordant, the court discipline, civil and military officials, all in the hands of the Wu De Division, in a short period of time, will be effective, after a long time, the disadvantages will appear." ā
Everyone nodded one after another, and they had a bottom on this matter, and when His Majesty asked, he would not be ignorant of all questions.
The bronze bell sounded in the palace gate, the hour had come, the palace gate was opened, and the second class of civil and military affairs in the duty room was silenced, and under the leadership of Wu Jin, he walked out of the duty room, divided into two columns, and slowly walked towards the palace city.
