Chapter 172 Hello, Lord Rabbit
The rumble of dawn calls for the sun to turn, and the rumble of dusk calls for the moon to rise. At dusk, the big drum placed in the neighborhood will sound eight hundred times and the doors will be closed. At two o'clock at five o'clock, the drum will sound from within, and the drums in the streets will vibrate, and all the doors of the city will be opened.
, the drum is three thousand laos, and it stops after distinguishing the color. It is mainly used to warn against thieves, and also has the function of telling time to open the door of the house.
The sound of drums in this street woke up the city of Chang'an from its slumber that had been sleeping all night, and the people's day's work began. Officials also poured in from their mansions to the Tai Chi Palace according to this new rule of going to court.
The originator of this advice was the most popular person around the emperor: Ma Zhou.
Standing on the jade steps of Tai Chi Palace, Li Chengqian looked at the officials who came to attend the court wearing different robes, and couldn't help but chanted: "The drums are beating at the beginning, but the chickens are not heard, and the horses are walking on the frozen mud in the street. The candles are dark and sometimes rush out.
There are stone pillars and there is no place to recognize the sand embankment in the deep snow.”
"Your Highness is so talented. Today, I heard such a poem that fit the occasion, and my fatigue has completely disappeared." Changsun Wuji smiled and walked up to him, followed by his teacher Zhang Xuansu.
"Didn't you say how many more days will it take? Uncle and Master Zhang are coming to Beijing."
"I'm waiting for you to arrive in Beijing at the fifth watch. How is His Highness's health?" Zhang Xuansu frowned and stepped forward and looked up and down.
Originally, the two of them planned to rest at home for a day before going to the palace to resume the imperial edict, but when they returned home, they heard that Li Chengqian was assassinated and they could still sit there. This was not the case before they hurriedly entered the palace after meeting at Zhuque Street.
"It's not a big problem. Let's go in first and talk later after court."
The procedures of the morning court are always the same. First, Fang and Du report on the progress of major events in the court, then the emperor himself expresses some opinions and emotions, and finally it is the turn of free questions and answers.
Li Chengqian has long been tired of such an old-fashioned and troublesome morning court. We can't just finish the morning court quickly, and then go back to each house to find each mother and do their own errands. We have to have a lot of people in the palace.
Did it take so long?
Is it interesting? How many of them can't speak more than a few words in a year. Li Chengqian really can't figure out what the excitement of these guys is every day and why they are so energetic.
When Li Daozong and Dai Zhou left work, they presented the results of the investigation that had been prepared for ten days to the emperor.
Then Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and vomited a lot of bitterness, talking about how merciful he was towards his ministers, and at the same time he severely criticized Su Qua for being crazy and ignorant of praise.
But just when Li Shimin was about to seal the coffin and make a final decision, Xiao Yu walked out unsteadily: "Your Majesty, I don't know what I should say when I say a few words, your Majesty?"
Are you still asking whether there is any point in speaking out after you have come out? Li Shimin bit his lips hard and suppressed only one word of speech. If people are not allowed to speak, then it will block the way for officials to give advice.
"Your Majesty, I heard that this young lady from the Su family is a descendant of the Sui Dynasty, and it was this woman who ordered her former Sui remnants to assassinate the king.
The old minister doesn’t understand why the investigation results of King Jiangxia and his colleagues are like this. Can he, Su Quan, a civil servant, make such a big splash?..."
After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he immediately received the approval of many people, and the voices of the ministers began to discuss in the hall. Old man Xiao was right, he was a civil servant who was so capable of cultivating so many dead soldiers.
Isn’t this just putting a shit basin on someone’s head?
It is better to seek truth from facts in this kind of thing. This time to assassinate the prince, he will be the emperor if he goes down to assassinate him.
"Your Majesty, I think what Song Guogong said is reasonable. If Su Wan is really an ordinary female class, how did she escape from Chang'an City quietly? Besides, there are really no one in the court to serve as his internal adviser.
?
...Whether it is for the sake of the stability of the court or the safety of His Majesty, the investigation should be carried out strictly and the case cannot be closed hastily."
Master Cui Ren held the wat board and spoke to Xiao Yu seriously, speaking impassionedly. If he hadn't known him well, Li Chengqian would have almost thought he was a loyal minister.
This guy has been a mute in the government for a long time. It's really unexpected that he jumped out so easily today.
"It's true that dogs are meddling with mice and meddling in other people's business. I don't know how energetic you guys are. It's really delaying my sleep." Cheng Zhijie leaned against the pillar, breathing heavily and muttering.
But Li Chengqian, who was standing at the head of the class, could hear this sound clearly anyway.
"Cheng Zhijie, what are you talking about? How dare you call me a dog?" Cui Renshi's eyes were as wide as bells. Is this an illusion?
The old gangster Cheng Zhijie stood up unsteadily and walked away, picking his ears at the same time. This scoundrel was simply unbearable to look at. He was worse than the gangsters in Chang'an City.
"I'm just saying you are a rabbit, what's going on? You're still biting me!"
"You, you, you old man are too presumptuous. Don't you know this is the court? How dare you be so rude." Cui Renshi is different from a prostitute like him. He is a well-educated man from a well-known family.
It is the way of a saint, and things like swearing in the street are definitely incomparable to Cheng Zhijie.
Besides, this was too abnormal. He really didn't expect that his cousin-in-law would dare to say that to him, and he was still in power.
"You are still being dissatisfied. Regardless of whether the main culprit in this case is Su Dan or his daughter, isn't this the crime of treason? What are you still discussing here? Just send it to Dongshi and behead it. Do you still want to ask
Is Su Tan’s goddaughter guilty of doing nothing? Isn’t this just a waste of dragging down her pants and farting? Exactly.”
Hahaha... After Cheng Zhijie finished speaking, there was roaring laughter in the hall, especially the two old gangsters Yuchi Jingde and Liu Hongji. They laughed till their waists when they saw Cheng Zhijie teaching his uncle.
Can't stand up straight.
In fact, Lao Cheng can't be blamed for this, he didn't want to do this, but who made the emperor give him the task of blaming people yesterday. If I were to blame, I should blame my uncle for not being able to predict the direction of the wind.
The emperor is a ruthless man who can even imprison his own father. You ignorant guys are not buried in the soil like Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. You should go home and burn incense to thank your ancestors for their kindness.
"Lao Cheng, I agree with what you said. The men of the Cui family are all extremely handsome. It's so damn appropriate to say he is Mr. Rabbit! Haha..." Yuchi Jingde agreed and then continued
Laughed.
But what Lao Hei said is right. The Cui family members are all top-notch in terms of their appearance, regardless of their appearance. Even Li Shimin went to propose marriage to the Cui daughter because he admired her appearance.
However, the reality is a bit cruel. People simply don't look down on the hybrid blood of the Li family. This has made Li Shimin resentful for a long time. Fortunately, he just hugged his arms and watched the two old gangsters Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde acting wildly in the palace.
