Chapter 750: Beating the Drums and Singing Grievances
"Good poetry!"
Before the drum sounded, several people had already gathered around to watch, Su Ziji wrote with a good pen, sentence by sentence, and when he wrote at the end, several people applauded.
Everyone is full of praise, it is really remarkable to be able to write this kind of praise and praise like this, and a few idle Hanlin do not have this level.
Luo Peiyi's eyes were hot, and he was busy suppressing it, so he didn't shed tears, looked at the wine syrup in the wine glass, and only nodded.
has followed the king of Shu for so long, and has done so many things for him, in exchange for abandoning him like a piece of, but the acting king has always been the same.
This is a courtier, taking refuge in the master, no different from a woman marrying a husband, it can be regarded as the second reincarnation, choosing the right master, the monarch and the minister are suitable, not only can compose a good story that has been praised for a long time, but also can be well. But choosing the wrong master and meeting a scum is really frustrating.
Luo Pei is not a foolish and loyal, the king of Shu treats him as a national soldier, he repays him as a national soldier, and the king of Shu abandons him, and he can naturally abandon the king of Shu and ignore it.
Su Ziji let go of his hand, threw away his pen, and smiled: "It's still sloppy, right?"
I have seen the Ming and Qing Hanlin's poems corresponding to the scene, and the level of this poem is probably slightly better than that of Hanlin, and the quasi-first-class level is naturally only sloppy.
In fact, he didn't write this poem to buy people's hearts, but because he knew that the time had come.
Sure enough, he dropped his pen, and suddenly, everyone in the courtyard heard the sound of drums outside Shuntian Mansion, and everyone was shocked.
Luo Pei trembled in particular, and couldn't help but look at the acting king, and saw the corner of the acting king's mouth tugging slightly, as if revealing a sneer.
This sneer was fleeting, it wasn't that Luo Pei had a premonition, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch it.
In an instant, Luo Pei came up with this idea, this resignation banquet, you can choose many occasions, why did you choose the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion?
At this time, it was late at night, the yamen of Shuntian Mansion was closed, and in front of the drum on the east wall, a middle-aged man was waving the drumstick in his hand, one after another, smashing the drum surface.
There was silence all around, and the sound of the drum could be heard far away with every blow.
In the middle of the night, it was simply terrifying, and the officials who were originally resting in the yamen were so frightened that they jumped up directly, dressed desperately, and ran out.
"Who, who's beating the drum, won't you die?"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......" The man beating the drum looked like crazy, muttering as if something was abnormal.
And this abnormal-looking man is none other than Zhou Liang, the Zhou manager of King Lu's Mansion.
It turned out that he rushed out of the small door at the back of the palace, and he kept fleeing into the distance, originally planning to rent an ox cart to escape farther, but he didn't know what was going on, and soon after leaving the palace, he felt that someone was staring.
Looking back, passers-by looked unfamiliar, but how powerful King Lu's methods were, Zhou Liang, the steward, had seen it, and he knew that he had escaped this time, and he was afraid that he would still be unable to escape death!
He is the steward of the palace, and he knows some secrets of the palace, and the prince will never let himself escape like this!
The prince will definitely send someone to kill him!
Staying in the palace is death, and escaping from the palace may also be death!
But he didn't want to die!
"Lord, Lord, the little one doesn't want to die, the little one wants to live! You are the prince, why do you have to kill the little one? Since this is the case, it is no wonder that the little one is seeking to survive on his own!"
"And you Zhang Wang, you dare to tell the secret and want me to die, then don't blame me, I will stain you with some dirty water, you can't wash it clearly. ”
"Killing you with a cane is your only end. ”
Zhou Liang's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily, as if with unusual excitement.
Now he can't get out of Beijing at all, this night, he is afraid that he will be found out wherever he flees, and the only place is safe, that is, the Yamen!
But not any yamen will shelter themselves, in fact, Zhou Liang knows that most of the yamen will immediately take themselves down and hand them over to King Lu for disposal.
Only the Shuntianfu Yamen is in charge of the affairs of the capital, as long as he escapes to the gate of the Shuntianfu Yamen and beats the drum, then he can alarm the Shuntianfu Yin.
Shuntian Mansion Yin sits in this position, and is destined not to collude with any king, otherwise it will end very miserably, and the emperor must not tolerate it.
As the steward of the Lu Palace, Zhou Liang also has some knowledge, and naturally knows that if he asks for help, it is better to come here wherever he goes!
He used the silver, hired an ox cart, hurried to the neighborhood, got out of the car, ran cautiously to the door of the yamen, and struck it with a drumstick in his hand, until the first sound sounded, and the feeling of being secretly followed dissipated!
I really didn't guess wrong, someone did follow him, and when he saw that he really ran to the door of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to beat the drum, he retreated!
At this point, he must not stop!
"Knock knock!" Zhou Liang beat the drum hard, and the dull sound of "knock knock" resounded.
According to the rules, as soon as this drum is beaten, you have to accept it, no matter what time it is, even if it is the third watch in the middle of the night, the Yin of Shuntian Mansion must immediately get up and put on an official robe to ascend to the hall.
Failure to do so is a grave sin.
This is the rule that existed in the previous dynasty, and in this dynasty, Zheng Taizu thought that Shuntianfu would not ascend to the church for several years at the end of the previous dynasty, which also belonged to the last scene, so he set up stricter rules, requiring that the drum must be strictly enforced, otherwise, the official will be guilty and punished heavily.
The minister in the backyard was only startled for a moment, and then he was stunned, and Yin Tanping, the Shuntian Mansion, changed color, and sighed for cold air before calming down.
This is his own one-third of an acre, he is here to feast guests, the acting king and the first assistant are rare, why did something happen at the juncture?
But if you don't go, Fu Yin can only get up and smile reluctantly at the few people present: "Lord Wang, my lords, since the drum is sounding, the lower officials have to go to the front to ascend to the court, and please feel free to wait for a while." ”
As he spoke, Cui Zhaoquan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was about to move, and waved his hand: "That's it, you go to the front, it's not interesting for us to drink by ourselves, let's go and have a look together?"
Running to beat drums and voice grievances in the middle of the night, it was just when he was having a banquet behind the mansion, this kind of thing, few people who can be high-ranking officials will not think about it.
What if it's something related to you?
Luo Pei also nodded: "What I said is that the night is dark, and those who come to beat the drum at this time may have a big grievance, why don't they go over and have a look together?"
When both of them said this, Shousuke naturally had to smile: "Well, you don't want me to leave the high hall for twenty years, and I have to visit again tonight." ”
The eyes of several people fell on the acting king who had not yet spoken, and Luo Pei faintly guessed in his heart that this matter might be related to the acting king, but several people really didn't think about the acting king.
Su Ziji said: "It's okay, Xiao Wang hasn't passed through the court yet, so let's go and have a look." ”
"Lord Wang, everyone, please!" At this time, the face of Shuntian Mansion Yin had returned to normal, but no one knew what he thought in his heart.
The four of them stopped talking and went over together.
