Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 225

The eunuch who delivered the decree talked all kinds of things, but Qin Lang was unmoved, and still refused to follow the order to return to Beijing.In the end, the eunuch had no choice but to return to Chang'an with the two salted salted ducks that Lao Wang had given him.

Sitting in the carriage, the white-faced and beardless old eunuch secretly mentioned the two ducks marinated in brine and turned dark red. They smelled salty and very tempting.

Looking at the dark red meat and the salty smell, the old eunuch's saliva couldn't help but gush out.

He pinched it with his hands and found that the meat was tight, especially when the salted duck was spread out and stretched with sticks, it was really like a board.

The duck body is flat, the tail oil is plump but not exposed, and the fat and thinness are distinct.

Being a eunuch is actually very hard work, physically disabled, and despised by others. If you don't have any official status, you don't even have a change of clothes from time to time. You can only drip urine and wet your pants every day. I can't even lift it up.

Even if you suffer through it, you finally end up with an official job, you can finally have some money, you can buy a few more clothes, and you have some free time, you can change your clothes frequently, and you can even buy some spices and the like to put on your body. smell.

But after all, he is still a eunuch who is looked down upon by others.

Now in the palace, the two eunuchs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Dianzhong, serve as introverts, but the chief officials are all civil servants, and they are extremely suppressed.

It's not easy to come out occasionally to pass on oral instructions. If you come out to see the scenery, you can get some rewards.

The eunuch Wang Lin liked the two ducks that Duke Yi sent.

The more it smelled, the more fragrant it became. I couldn't help but took a small bite and found that the salty fragrance was tough and delicious.

If it is steamed according to what Master Yiguogongzhuang said, it will definitely taste better.

On the way, Wang Lin couldn't help but take another bite, and every time he said it was just this one, but he took one bite to the left and one to the right, and actually ate two duck legs on the way.

It was really delicious when I ate it, but now my mouth is full of salt.

When he arrived at the East Palace, it was too late to drink water, so Wang Lin hurried to repay the emperor.

When Li Shimin heard that Qin Lang refused to come back, he was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly.

"It's even on the nose and on the face!"

The emperor waved his hand, "Go and send Shi Xu Jingzong, the Chief of the Town Fu."

Xu Jingzong was looking at official documents in the yamen of Pingkangfang. After Qin Lang was dismissed, Xu Jingzong had been excited for a long time and was full of anticipation. Chengdu has never loved anyone.

He is still just the head of the Zhenfu Division, Shi, a sixth-rank official.

He can't even control the orders of the five schools below, let alone Wu Heita and Liu Shili, who are now the left and right Jinwuwei generals of the third rank.

In the Zhenfu Department, he was very sad, like a housekeeper, he wanted to trouble him in everything, but he couldn't control a few people.

I heard that the emperor summoned.

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but his heart trembled, could it be that the emperor finally remembered me, did he finally want to reuse me?

Xu Jingzong trembled with excitement, his face turned red.

I hurried to take a bath and change clothes, but the servant said impatiently, "Xu Changshi dare not delay, don't keep His Majesty waiting."

Xu Jingzong laughed aloud, "I'm leaving now."

Tidy up the skirts and go to the East Palace with the servants.

On the way, he quietly inquired, but the servants ignored him. Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth, took out a golden bean and handed it over.

This is worth a penny of gold, and it is worth two thousand coins.

But the servant only rolled his eyes, and refused with some disgust.

Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded this damned slave for being greedy, so he had to bear the pain and touched another grain.

As a result, when the eunuch looked at the two golden beans, he always felt that they looked like the two treasures he had lost. The more he looked at them, the more he looked at them, and he felt that Xu Jingzong was deliberately humiliating him, and his pale face became even paler with anger.

"Xu Changshi, please respect yourself!"

"If this happens again, our family will report to the emperor."

Xu Jingzong was startled, two golden beans fell to the ground, he quickly bent down to pick them up.

Wang Lin gritted his teeth, felt more and more that Xu Jingzong was extremely vulgar, and he was an eighteenth bachelor. With this appearance, he still wanted to take the position of Lord Yi and take charge of Fusi?
Pooh!
The rest of the way was embarrassing.

When entering the hall, he forgot to take off his shoes, and was reprimanded loudly by Qian Niuwei on duty, which made him even more embarrassed.

"Chenzhen Fusicheng Xu Jingzong pays homage to His Majesty!"

In a hurry, Xu Jingzong reported all his official positions wrongly.

Li Shimin raised his head and was stunned for a while, as if he was thinking when did I give him the title of Zhenfu Si Cheng?

Xu Jingzong came back to his senses, terrified and uneasy, "My minister is dead, Shi Xu Jingzong, the chief of the minister's governor, pleads guilty!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Xu Jingzong, long time no see, have you learned how to add an official to yourself? Have you grown up?"

Xu Jingzong was ashamed.

I think he is also a dignified celebrity, a son of a famous noble family, once an eighteenth scholar of the Qin Palace, and also made many plans for the emperor, but now he is ignored, and now the emperor is saying such things, but there is no old love at all. Read it.

"I will die!"

Xu Jingzong could only prostrate himself on the ground with his buttocks raised high.

Seeing him like this, Li Shimin couldn't bear it.

He waved his hand, "Forget it, get up, sit down and talk."

Xu Jingzong thanked God and sat down on his knees.

"I ask you, what is Qin Lang doing recently?"

Xu Jingzong didn't expect the emperor to ask this, and his mind turned quickly.What exactly is the emperor asking?What is the purpose of asking this?

He thought about it, but couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't dare to peek at the expression on the emperor's face and guess. He was in a difficult situation, and the emperor snorted heavily.

"I asked you such a simple matter, and you still have to think about it for so long? Could it be that you are speculating on my heart again?"

Xu Jingzong hurriedly replied, "I dare not, I just really don't know."

"I don't know? You are the head of the Zhenfu Department, Shi, who is in charge of the affairs of the department. The first job of the Zhenfu Department is to monitor the sky and the earth, but you say you don't know?" Li Shimin was extremely dissatisfied.

Xu Jingzong's heart was ruthless, and he had already made a decision.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Since the resignation of Duke Yi, I have been ordered to take charge of the affairs, but the minister is only of the sixth grade, and it is not, and it is not..."

"What else?"

"Your Majesty, the Zhenfu Division was established by Duke Yi by order. Officials, officials, servants, soldiers, etc. were all recruited by Qin Lang, and the ministers were later transferred by order. They were never Yi. Duke Yi's confidant, so he has never been trusted by Lord Yi. After he left, the officials in the Sizhong refused to obey me, and most of my orders were yin and yang, and even Qin Lang resigned. , Lieutenant Dugu Yanyun, etc. all directly resigned with the crown, they would rather be Qin Lang's trilogy and generals, than stay in the department as officials..."

"The minister also asked the department to monitor Qin Lang according to the duties of the Zhenfu Department, but although Wei Chang, Lin San and others reported regularly, they were worthless..."

Xu Jingzong complained to the emperor, accusing Qin Lang of overshadowing the sky in the Zhenfu Division, which was deeply entrenched, and the officials in the Zuosi only served Qin Lang, even if Qin Lang left, they still listened to Qin Lang.

This complaint was very harsh. According to him, the Zhenfusi was no longer the imperial court's Zhenfusi, but Qin Lang's personal Zhenfusi.

Li Shimin's face was ugly.

Xu Jingzong secretly looked at the expression on the emperor's face. Seeing his appearance, he was secretly delighted, thinking that the emperor had listened.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, please recall Duke Yi to serve as the governor, and the minister please transfer!"

Xu Jingzong couldn't afford to bow down.

Li Shimin's face was uncertain.

After a long time, the emperor sneered a few times, "Xu Jingzong, you are the chief history officer who I transferred to the Zhenfu Division. The Zhenfu Division soon transferred you. After a long time, you actually told me that you have nothing to do in the division. Influence?"

"You'd rather make excuses for your incompetence!"

Xu Jingzong fell on the ground secretly startled, very terrified, he did not expect this to be the result.

The more Li Shimin looked at Xu Jingzong, the more unhappy he became. He summoned Xu Jingzong to ask what Qin Lang was doing recently and why he couldn't think of leaving. Who would have expected that Xu Jingzong would accuse Qin Lang of evil at this time, and even I am incompetent, unable to control the Zhen Fusi, what I said is so fresh and refined.

In the eyes of the emperor, this can only explain one thing, that Xu Jingzong is incompetent, he is really incompetent. He actually said that he had never really mastered the Zhenfu Division.

The Zhenfu Division was established in Qin Lang's hands, and how many meritorious services he has made. It is the most handy tool he has used since he took power. excellent.

But Xu Jingzong is so incompetent, so it can be said that the previous achievements of the Zhen Fusi have nothing to do with him.

What are you doing with such waste?
Qin Lang's exclusive power?

In Li Shimin's eyes, Qin Lang is capable, very capable.He also doesn't believe in the so-called authoritarian theory.

"Since you ask for a transfer, then I will transfer you to be the assistant teacher of the Imperial Academy!"

"Go back!"

Xu Jingzong lay on the ground, feeling weak all over.

He couldn't believe this result, and he didn't want to believe it. He thought the emperor was dissatisfied with Qin Lang, so he decided to sue. Who expected this result?
Taixue teaching assistant?This is only an official position on the seventh rank, not to mention that this kind of teaching assistant has no real power.There are six schools in Guozijian, and Taixue is still ranked after Guozixue. The teaching assistants of Guozixue are all from the sixth rank, and the teaching assistants of Taixue are from the seventh rank.

There are six teaching assistants in Taixue, and there are six Ph.D.s in Taixue.

It was a heavy blow to say that he was demoted from Chang'an Ling to the head of Zhenfu, but now he is demoted to the teaching assistant of Taixue, he really fell straight into the hell of Jiuyou.

Is it impossible to turn over in this life?

"Stand back!" Li Shimin ordered again in a deep voice.

Xu Jingzong finally regained some strength and struggled to get up, not daring to lift his head.

"I retire!"

Bowing deeply, Xu Jingzong staggered out.

Li Shimin looked at that figure with contempt.

"waste!"

He never thought that Xu Jingzong, whom he had placed in the Zhenfu Division from the very beginning, would be so incompetent.

"Horse Week!"

The emperor passed the decree.

Ma Zhou, who was newly promoted to serve as the censor, entered the palace to meet the emperor.

"You go to the Political Affairs Hall and ask Zhongshusheren to draw up an edict, and return to the post of Sanqi regular servant in Qinlang's sect. After you get the edict, send it to the sect in person, let Ru Huiyong seal it through, and then you go to Sanyuan in person Proclamation, tell Qin Lang to come back quickly!"
