Yan Li thought, Situ and Sima are very important, if Chu Lin is allowed to sit, the world may be in chaos. Why not let him be a Sikong!
"My dear friends, what do you think of Sikong?"
The position of Sikong is not small, since Yan Li proposed it, why do the ministers disagree.
"The emperor is wise!" The flattering voice shook the carved beams and painted buildings of the Jinluan Hall.
Therefore, Yan Li decreed to post the news of Chu Fei'er being named Queen of the East Palace and Chu Lin being named Sikong by posting various lively places in the capital.
After Chu Lin was dismissed and investigated, his family was very deserted, and the house was empty, but as soon as the news of Yan Li was released, he went to visit his motorcade, and the entire street was filled. Some people lined up from morning to night and still couldn't see Chu Lin.
Chu Lin, who was in power, was humiliated, and his chin was raised higher than anyone else. On this day, I went to the palace in a carriage to discuss military affairs with Situ, Sima and others. Suddenly, the team stopped leaving.
Chu Lin poked his head out of the sedan chair and asked the housekeeper, "What's wrong?"
The butler said: "There is a T-junction ahead. Uncle Huang passed by, so the convoy stopped and let Uncle Huang pass first."
Chu Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a sinister smile, and said to himself: "The last time Yan Shijie came back from the north, he gave me a big blow. Now that I have gained power, my daughter is the queen of the East Palace, and I am the first-rank official Sikong. Yan Shijie is now I'm no official, it's time for me to win back my face!" Then he shouted to the housekeeper, "Who told you to let the emperor's uncle live? The emperor's uncle is just an idler now, and I am the current Sikong, the official residence First-rank. How can there be a reason for a high-rank official to give way to ordinary people? Do you still have the dignity of the court in your eyes? You go to the front and tell my uncle to stop, and I will go first!"
The butler was able to retract his head into his neck, and stuck out his tongue: "Master, Yan Shijie is the emperor's uncle, the emperor's uncle! No matter how senior you are, you are not as close as he is to the emperor."
Chu Lin stared and said: "I know that the emperor is the emperor's uncle. You don't need to teach me this! The emperor is the emperor of Dajing Kingdom, the emperor of everyone, not just the emperor of Yan Shijie. Family affection is important, but The dignity of the imperial court is more important! Don't worry too much, go over and pass on my words immediately!"
The butler had no choice but to come to the T-junction and stop Yan Shijie's clearing officer: "Wait a minute, don't go there!"
When the Taoist priest heard it, he wondered: "What do you mean, why don't you go there first?"
Butler Chu Lin: "Our master said, you wait first, let us pass first!"
The road officer immediately became furious: "Do you know whose convoy this is?"
Butler Chu Lin didn't have the confidence in his heart, and he didn't speak out of the way, and the veins on his neck burst out: "I... I don't know!"
Saying "I don't know", if Yan Shijie blames him, he can excuse himself by saying "one who doesn't know is innocent".
The Taoist official snorted: "I tell you, the person passing in front of you now is the emperor's uncle, if you are sensible, get out of the way!"
The butler swallowed his saliva: "Then do you know who our master is?"
"who is it?"
The steward said: "Our lord is Sikong, the father of Concubine Chu, and the emperor's father-in-law. Do you think the emperor should give way to our lord?"
The Taoist official was furious: "My father-in-law, can you compare with the blood-related uncle? Get out of the way, or I will beat you to the ground with a stick!"
The housekeeper was frightened, and ran to Chu Lin's car: "Master, Uncle Huang's wayfinder is lying sideways. He said he would hit me with a stick, and he refused to get out of the way no matter what."
When Chu Lin heard this, smoke came from the seven orifices, his left hand made a fist, his right hand made a palm, and the left hand hit the right hand.
"Damn it, a Daoist official is so arrogant, but he still has the dignity of the court in his eyes! For the sake of the court's dignity, I have to teach this bastard a lesson!"
Snatching a stick from the servant beside him, he came to the Taoist priest angrily, pointed the stick at the Taoist priest and cursed: "You said you wanted to hit my steward with a stick, didn't you?"
The Taoist priest can be angry with the housekeeper, but he dare not be angry with the current court Lord Sikong. Hastily got off the horse and bowed to Chu Lin: "Hello, Sir Sikong!"
Chu Lin's face was full of purple anger: "You, a small Taoist official, can despise the court's decency? Today I will teach you a lesson and let you know what decency is!"
He hit the Taoist priest on the temple with a stick, and the Taoist priest screamed and fell to the ground. Chu Lin catches up and beats the stick again.
"Dogs rely on people's power. In the past, Yan Shijie was the king of Yan, and I was still afraid of him. Now that he is no longer an official, I am still afraid of him! You watchdog of ordinary people, what are you doing!" Turning to the servant beside him, "Everyone Let's go together and beat him up!"
Jia Ding hesitated, after all, he was the patriarch of the emperor's uncle.
Seeing that the servant didn't move, Chu Lin swung his stick and beat him: "I'll beat anyone who doesn't!"
So all the servants surrounded the Taoist priest together, fists and feet rained down on his head and body, and the Taoist priest howled like killing a pig.
Yan Shijie heard the commotion in front of him in the car, so he ordered Zhou Chao next to him to ask.
"Go and see ahead, what happened?"
After leaving for a while, Zhou Chao came back in a panic and reported: "It's not good, master, the Taoist priest was beaten by Chu Lin's servant, and his fingers were broken!"
Fortunately, Yan Shijie has a good temper, otherwise he would have fainted with anger: "Why did Chu Lin hit my Daoist?"
Zhou Chao said: "There is a T-junction in front, and the two convoys happened to meet each other. The Taoist official may have spoken a bit harshly, so Chu Lin beat him to the ground with a stick, and then ordered his servants to punch and kick. Ouch, the Taoist official was beaten." , with a bruised nose and swollen face, not to mention how miserable it is!"
"It's unreasonable!" Yan Shijie slapped the car window fiercely, "You have to talk about who goes first when you walk, why is he beating people indiscriminately at the feet of the emperor!"
Zhou Chao twitched the corner of his mouth: "It is precisely because he is at the feet of the emperor that he beats people indiscriminately!"
Yan Shijie felt that there was something in Zhou Chao's words: "How do you say that?"
Zhou Chao said: "Now that the master has retired from the officialdom, don't you know that Chu Lin has become Sikong? Concubine Chu is his daughter, and now she is the Queen of the Eastern Palace. Except for the emperor, he dare not mess with anyone in this capital!"
Yan Shijie thought for a long time, then sighed: "It seems that I was wrong to quit the officialdom?"
"Isn't it?" Zhou Chao said incomprehensibly, "Even though you are the emperor's uncle, you have no power in your hands, and no one is afraid of you. It is precisely because Chu Lin saw your weakness that he dared to be so arrogant and domineering."
"Be patient for a while, since I have already decided to leave the officialdom, why do I have to fight with him? I am not short of this time. Let him go first!"
Zhou Chao opened his eyes wide: "Master, you don't want to fight over who comes first, but the founder of Taoism was beaten by Chu Lin in vain? Shouldn't the master take this pain for him? The master just needs to go to the emperor to join him. Ben, I guarantee he won't be able to eat and walk around!"
Yan Shijie shook his head: "Alcoholism and wealth are harmful to people. When I go back, I will just give the Taoist priest some more silver taels, so why bother arguing again! Go and pass on my words, and let Master Chu go first!"
Zhou Chao was aggrieved and had no choice but to pass on Yan Shijie's words to the front.
Chu Lin thought that Yan Shijie was afraid of him, returned to the car, opened the curtain triumphantly, and looked at Yan Shijie's motorcade with a victorious attitude.
After Chu Lin's men and horses had all passed, Yan Shijie's convoy just passed.
On this day, Rong Changan happened to be relaxing with Chuntao on the street, sitting in a tea house drinking tea, and heard the commotion in front, and then someone was beaten and screamed, and then they heard the sound of punching and kicking.
Rong Changan said to Chuntao: "Go and see what happened up front."
When Chuntao inquired about it, she came back and said to Rong Chang'an angrily. Rong Changan couldn't help frowning:
"I didn't expect that Chu Lin, who is on the rise, is so rampant and arrogant. If two years pass, the whole capital will be his world!"
Chun Tao curled her lips: "My daughter is now the Queen of the Eastern Palace, so it's no wonder he's not arrogant!"
