From the beginning of celebrating more than one year, the sun shines on the sky

Chapter 96 [Fan Jian is also sadly reminded to take the blame] (seeking the first order)
Fan Zui went to the Poetry Club today instead of riding a horse, but by carriage.

The most inappropriate thing in Kyoto is to travel by horse-drawn carriage, because it is easy to get stuck in traffic.

As for who gives way, it depends on who has more power, or the other party will give way in order to make friends or ask for something.

It's a pity that what Fan Zui encountered today was the carriage of Guo Youzhi, Minister of Rites, so it was naturally impossible to back down.

At this point of time, it was the time when the civil and military officials went to the morning court, so there would be traffic jams in many cases.

But it just so happened that the enemy's road is narrow, so we met here.

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the stalemate attracted many passers-by to watch.

For a while there were discussions and whispers, but most of them were about how Fan Zui was greedy for pleasure and did not think about serving the country, or how he was domineering and indulging in women.

Fan Zui didn't care about this at all.

What, ruin his reputation?

Does he still have a reputation to ruin?
On the opposite carriage, Guo Youzhi learned that the person blocking the way was the young general Fan Zui who had clashed with him a few days ago and seriously injured his stupid son.

It is not a small matter that he, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, was absent for no reason without reporting in advance, such a big or small but necessary court affair every day.

However, Guo Youzhi did this on purpose. Once this matter got to His Majesty's ears, he probably wouldn't blame himself. Instead, he would take the opportunity to severely punish Fan Zui for his lawlessness.

In fact, Guo Youzhi has always felt that His Majesty has long wanted to take back Fan Zui's military power and punish him, but he has never been able to find an excuse.

Now, as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he has very cooperatively found a very suitable reason for Emperor Qing, and His Majesty should be very happy.

Since then, he will only be dealt with lightly.

Thinking of this, he, the Minister of Rites, was not in a hurry.

On the other hand, Fan Zui didn't care about it at all, it was just a poetry fair, it didn't matter whether he went or not.

Time passed little by little.

The poetry meeting in Prince Jing's Mansion had already started, but many people who came today came because of the name Fan Zui.

Some people came here because they took advantage of others to step on Fan Zui's talent, while some people admired the young general and planned to come here to take advantage of the opportunity.

Regardless of the purpose, now that Fan Zui has not arrived, everyone has already whispered to each other about various possible changes.

However, the people who guessed the most wrongly and more than [-]% were talking about the same topic:
This General Fan probably went to the brothel again last night, so after a night of exhausting exercise, he got up late today, or he hasn't woken up yet.

It is even possible that even after waking up in the morning, you are not in a hurry to attend some boring poetry meeting. Compared with it, it is better to do some morning exercises that are conducive to healthy development.

In fact, the eldest princess Li Yunrui and the prince have always wanted to ruin Fan Zui's reputation and make him have no place in the capital.

However, after many times of deliberate consideration, the two of them suddenly discovered that this bastard Fan Zui had no reputation at all.

The little bit of character, talent, and fantasy left was completely destroyed by himself when he went to Zuixianju to buy a brothel on the first day he came to Kyoto.

Follow the enemy's path and make the enemy have nowhere to go, Fan Zui is really good at it!

The eldest princess Li Yunrui didn't know what expression she had when she discovered this result. In short, there was a burst of yin and yang changes, and the complexity of it was hard to describe in words.

Finally laughed instead.

At this time, someone came in suddenly and reported that he had spotted Fan Zui on the way.

This news instantly aroused many discussions at the poetry meeting.

"Where is General Fan now?"

Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng sat in the first place, looking at a group of restless scholars below, in order to quell these discussions as soon as possible, so he asked a question that everyone wanted to know in time.

That man was also a scholar, he took a step forward, and under the expectant gazes of the crowd, he first bowed to Prince Jing in a leisurely manner. said:

"General Fan was on the way here, the carriage and the carriage of the Ministry of Rites were congested in Niulan Street, and the two sides refused to give in to each other and there was a stalemate. When I came, the two sides were still stuck there."

After the scholar finished speaking, he stepped back and began to appreciate the changing expressions of everyone, which is really wonderful.

Because it was the same expression he saw when he passed by Niulan Street just now.

wonderful!

at the same time.

in the palace.

Today in the court hall, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together, but when the roll call was made, it was discovered that there was a missing Master of the Ministry of Rites.

In fact, roll call is also required in the early court, but instead of reading names like going to school in modern cities, special messengers and eunuchs will check the rolls one by one before the emperor arrives to see if they are all there.

Then, before the emperor begins to go to court, the eunuch is ordered to briefly report the corresponding situation.

Emperor Qing's order eunuch is naturally Hou Gonggong who has been serving the left and right.

The prince who had always wanted to take his place was still recuperating in the Tai Hospital because of a clever move yesterday.

Before going to the court, Eunuch Hou had already looked at all the candidates for officials in the court according to the roster.

It was discovered that Guo Youzhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was absent from the early court today for no reason without "asking for leave" in advance, so he has reported this situation to Emperor Qing.

"His Majesty is here!"

Following Eunuch Hou's announcement, all civil and military officials immediately fell to their knees, shouting long live, long live, long live.

After sitting down, Emperor Qing raised his arm slightly, said softly, "Everyone loves you, and your body is flat", and then the morning court officially began.

According to the usual practice, it is natural that there is something to play, and there is nothing to retreat.

However, Emperor Qing asked a question about "being late" for the first time today.

"Is Guo Youzhi, Minister of Rites, here?"

Civil and military officials, you look at me, I look at you, and then Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, who is the head of all officials, stood up, clasped his hands together and shook the official badge made of jade in his hand, and reported:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Guo Youzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, did not report his illness to my minister today, so I don't know the reason for his absence."

Emperor Qing waved his sleeve with the dragon pattern indifferently, and said:
"check!"

After a while, someone came to report.

"Your Majesty, the whereabouts of Minister of Rites have been found."

All civil and military officials and Emperor Qing, who was sitting on the dragon chair above, looked at Gong Dian, the deputy commander of the imperial army.

"Oh? Where is he?" Emperor Qing glanced at the civil and military officials who were whispering to each other out of curiosity, and then asked.

For a moment, all eyes were on the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and he felt an invisible pressure instantly.

It's just that Gong Dian didn't dare to say that answer, but he didn't dare not say it because of the emperor's order, so he bit the bullet and said:
"Your Majesty, the carriages of Lord Minister of the Ministry of Rites and General Fan met in Niulan Street, and the two sides refused to give in to each other, so it has been blocked until now.

As a result, Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was absent from today's morning regular meeting for no reason. "

As soon as these words came out, the hall was instantly quiet, and after a slight twitching of the corners of the mouths of all civil and military officials, they all looked at His Majesty sitting on the dragon chair above.

It seemed that he wanted to see some reaction from his face.

However, everyone was disappointed.

Because the expression on Emperor Qing's face was hopeful, and there was no change in the slightest, he just said calmly:

"Decree, Minister of Rites, Guo Youzhi, will be fined half a year for his absence from the court today without reason."

Well, what else?
Is this gone?

Your Majesty, have you forgotten what the most important part is, there is another one.

Civil and military officials were dumbfounded.

Before everyone could react, Emperor Qing got up and left.

Before leaving, his tone was flat, and his voice spread throughout the hall: "Retire! Fan Shilang stay here, come to Zhen Yu's study."

Fan Jian: "..."
