Playing the Emperor

"My lord, you can help me to intercede with Hou Ye, you are the governor, Hou Ye will definitely give you this face, if this piece is presented, the saint will definitely be furious." Hu Chuanhai pleaded with a bitter face.

The governor waved his hand and said: "Master Hou may be scaring you, I heard that the personal relationship between the two of you has always been good, he will not do this, this is not clear to make trouble for you." ”

"My lord, I also thought that Master Hou was scaring me, but you didn't see it, the music was all written, and it was stamped with a big seal, so I sent someone to listen directly to the heavens, the lower officials are really scared, please go and tell me a favor." Hu Chuanhai kept pleading.

The governor was a little upset by what he said, thinking about it, this matter has nothing to do with him, there is no need for him to get involved, in case he annoys the Marquis of Chengqi, he is talking nonsense, and bringing himself with him, isn't it setting himself on fire.

"No, no, no, the official is just here to inspect the people's situation and not interfere in your local political affairs. The Governor said in an official tone.

Hu Chuanhai knelt on the ground with a puff, kept kowtowing, and his voice was about to cry: "My lord, please, for the sake of the lower officials' hard work and grievances for many years, help me." ”

"I said, why are you so unproductive, if the Marquis of Chengqi plays, you will definitely be dealt with strictly? What does it have to do with the robbers in his house? And it's not the robbers you sent, besides, what did he play you? The rescue is not good? Then you can say that you were busy with business at that time, isn't it?"

As soon as the Governor had finished saying this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

However, before he realized it, Hu Chuanhai began to be happy in his heart.

That's what I'm waiting for!

"Yes, I was on a business trip with my lord at the time, you can't blame me for this, yes, yes, you look at my brain! Why didn't you think about it, haha, it's okay, it's okay, I'll write a letter immediately, I'll tell you in detail about the matter, and ask the lord to present it to the emperor for me, in addition, I have to go and tell the Hou Ye, let him tell the truth, you can't wronged me, okay, my lord, then I will leave, thank you for your order!" Hu Chuanhai seemed to be very happy and said a lot, and then prepared to get up and leave.

"Master Hu, slow down!" the governor suddenly stopped him from behind.

Hu Chuanhai stopped, turned around and deliberately asked, "What else do you have to say?"

"Well, don't be anxious about this matter, what else do you write? The Holy One has every opportunity, and those of us who are courtiers don't have to play these little things, Cheng Qi Hou, I'll help you intercede, you go back and wait for news first." The Governor said with a smile.

"This is not appropriate, the lower official is in trouble, how can I let the adults bear it for me, besides, what you said just now is also right, I am not entirely to blame for this matter. Hu Chuanhai shook his head, with a stupid expression, not knowing what he was talking about.

"You don't care about this, you listen to me, go back and wait for news first, and I'll go to the Hou Mansion in a while." The Governor said.

"Then thank you, my lord, and retire!" Hu Chuanhai heard the governor say that he was going to the Hou Mansion, so he hurriedly walked out.

Not long after leaving the pavilion, Hu Chuanhai secretly cursed a few words in his heart, this governor is really an old fox.

The governor was still very trustworthy, and before the time came, he came to the Hou Mansion with a few retinues.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Chengqi had been cleaned very clean, and it looked the same as usual, and the Marquis of Chengqi heard that the governor was coming, so he received him in the living room.

"Master Hou, you are frightened. The Governor said politely.

Cheng Qi Hou waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the Governor doesn't have to worry about this matter." ”

"That's so, Lord Marquis, I heard that you are going to play and resign from your knighthood?" asked the Governor, pretending to be casual as he drank his tea.

"Hmm, how did the Governor know about this? Hmph, it must be this Hu Chuanhai!" said as if he was very angry, and patted the table.

"Hey, don't blame him, Master Hou, he's also afraid, think about it, if you submit this piece of music, after the saint knows about it, he will definitely be guilty of poor governance, I'm afraid not to mention his black gauze hat, even his little life may not be saved." The Governor said.

"Hmph, I don't care about this, he Hu Chuanhai doesn't know, some time ago, I don't know where some people came out of nowhere, and they made Shezhou jump, and almost implicated me, I said a long time ago, the guards of the Hou Mansion are not enough, let him Hu Chuanhai send me some people, he said that the court has laws, and the guards cannot exceed how many people, I said that even if I spend my own money to hire people, can I do it? Then he didn't reply, look at it just now, such a fierce person, how many guards I have died, they are all children, one of them has just married a wife and had children, all to protect me, what kind of sin do you say I have created!"

Seeing the Marquis of Chengqi making a colorful gesture here, the governor didn't dare to say anything, but continued to persuade: "This matter is not a matter, I am in charge, and I will send fifty people from the patrol battalion to the Hou Mansion as guards, what do you think?"

"This can't work, the patrol battalion is guarding Shezhou, not guarding my Hou Mansion, no, no, no, I have never taken advantage of this kind of unknown advantage in my life, no, no, no. Chengqi Hou shook his head again and again, not agreeing at all.

"Master Hou, you just give me a face, Hu Chuanhai is not too young, and he has no hope of being promoted in this life, so you can let him play it once, okay?" the governor continued.

Speaking of this, Cheng Qihou seemed to soften his heart, sighed and said: "Alas, it's not that I'm ruthless, I'm just angry, Lord Governor, you know, I'm so old, I have no children and no daughters, this person is sometimes in a bad mood, especially when he is wronged." ”

"Understand and understand, Master Hou has worked hard all his life to serve the country and the people, how can I not know it. The Governor echoed with a flickering remark.

After the two chatted for a while, Cheng Qihou didn't seem to be too angry, and even promised not to play the court.

After leaving the Hou Mansion, as soon as the governor returned to the pavilion, he sent someone to find Hu Chuanhai.

After Hu Chuanhai came, the first thing he said when he met was: "My lord, has the Hou Ye agreed?"

The governor seemed to be very angry, pointed at Hu Chuanhai and reprimanded: "The marquis is a lord of the imperial court, and he has worked hard, so he wants a few people to help him take care of the family and the courtyard, why don't you give him a convenience?"

This sentence made Hu Chuanhai stunned for a moment, and said in his heart when did this Hou Ye ask him for manpower?
