"This kid is even more handsome than me!"
When Ye Xiaotian saw this person's appearance, he felt a little disgusted. Before that, he had only seen one person who surpassed him in appearance and temperament, and that was Li Xuancheng, uncle of the Three Kingdoms. But on the surface Li Xuancheng is a modest gentleman, but in fact he is a paranoid and insidious villain.
From then on, Ye Xiaotian had an impression in his heart: the little boy has no good intentions, but any man who is too handsome or even a bit feminine must not be a good person. Now this kid surnamed Yu is even more handsome than Li Xuancheng, with a powdered face, white teeth and red lips, Ye Xiaotian naturally doesn't like him.
Ye Xiaotian said with a serious expression: "I'm here to interrogate the whole story of the Mercury Mountain dispute, right or wrong, you didn't report, didn't listen to the call, and interrupted the officer's questioning without authorization, you know that the officer is in the court, and you can handle it completely." You are the crime of roaring in court!"
Li Jing stretched his neck and stared at his eyes, as if he had suddenly changed from a toad spirit to a tortoise prime minister, and kept winking at Ye Xiaotian, but after Ye Xiaotian said, his eyes shot at the handsome and handsome boy like an arrow. However, he couldn't be weaker than him in terms of momentum, and didn't pay attention to Li Jing's wink at all.
The little white face chuckled, played leisurely with the ivory folding fan in his hand, gave Ye Xiaotian a deep look with thought-provoking eyes, and said leisurely: "My surname is Yu, and my name is Junting. In terms of seniority, Yu Fushun is my grandnephew." Bar."
This kid is only seventeen or eighteen years old at most, and Yu Fushun, who is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, actually wants to call him uncle, this generation is indeed a bit older. However, Yu Fushun is the head of the Yu family village, this young man should only occupy his seniority, but his status in the Yu family village may not be that great.
If Ye Xiaotian wants to deal with the status of the village masters and castle masters, once the opponent refuses to give in, it will be difficult for him to step down. He can't really use swords and guns just because of this. Not as well-equipped as the official army of the Ming Dynasty, but they occupy the right time and people, and they have a natural moat-like geographical advantage. It is not easy for anyone to conquer them.
In the Yuan Dynasty, iron cavalry ruled the world, and most of the conquests against the chieftains in southern Xinjiang ended in failure. In the end, they had to be appointed as consolation envoys. During the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court sent troops to conquer Luchuan three times, which lasted for nine years.
If you really want to anger these chieftains and force them to rebel regardless of the consequences, no matter whether the court can win this battle, Ye Xiaotian who provoked this war will have to be responsible for the serious consequences after the war. The head of the item apologized to the people of the world.
However, it would not be such a big risk if he took this little boy with a knife. Since he took the initiative to show his head, how could Ye Xiaotian let go of this good opportunity? Acting recklessly and causing disputes among the tribes, you, the elder, are also to blame, come here, kneel down and answer!"
Yu Junting raised his slender eyebrows slightly, looked at Ye Xiaotian with interesting eyes, and said in surprise: "You want me to kneel down and answer?"
Ye Xiaotian's face darkened, and he said: "I didn't exempt you from kneeling, shouldn't you kneel?"
Yu Junting smiled slightly, and said: "Yu is a scholar. A scholar doesn't need to kneel when he meets an eighth-rank official?"
Ye Xiaotian was taken aback, scholar? A scholar is a man of fame, and even a seventh-rank official doesn't have to kneel when he sees him, let alone an eighth-rank official. Ye Xiaotian failed to put on a show, and became angry from embarrassment: "You have fame but didn't say it earlier. Are you sincerely teasing this official?"
Yu Junting said with a half-smile, "As soon as Yu arrived, you Mr. Ye used a lot of bureaucratic accents, and didn't give Yu a chance to declare his identity at all."
Ye Xiaotian snorted coldly, and said with a stinky face: "Since you are a student, I don't want you to kneel down and answer."
Yu Junting smiled and said: "No hurry, no hurry, Yu has something to say."
He slapped the ivory bone folding fan in his palm and shouted loudly: "Come here! Change clothes for me!"
Ye Xiaotian's eyes widened in surprise: "My officer?"
Suddenly, four burly men came out from behind the crowd, followed by four handmaidens with cicada shadows on their temples and shaved shoulders. Each of the four burly men was holding a tray, on which were: A pair of cloud shoes, a set of golden armor with locks, and a purple gold crown with phoenix wings...
If this is the case, the little boy in front of him is not Xiaobailong, but Sun Dasheng who borrowed treasure from Dragon Palace, but the things on the tray shocked Ye Xiaotian no less than those treasures.
On the first tray was a pair of official boots with blue satin and white tops, which is not unusual. On the second tray is a black gauze hat, which is not unusual, and on the third tray is a jade belt, which is... not unusual. On the fourth tray is a red official robe.
Big red pouch? !
Ye Xiaotian was a little dizzy immediately, according to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the first to fourth ranks wear red robes, the fifth to seventh ranks wear green robes, and the eighth to ninth ranks wear green robes. Looking at the entire Tongren Mansion, Fatty Zhang has the highest official position, and he is only a local magistrate of the fifth rank. If he wants to wear a green robe, how can he casually show a bad face and wear a red robe
Seeing the four maids coming forward, they dressed the handsome young man in an orderly manner. They put on the black gauze, put on the official boots, put on the official robe, and put on the jade belt. They stood there again, like a woman waiting for him. The bridegroom who enters the bridal chamber.
Ye Xiaotian stared dumbfounded at Yu Junting who had suddenly transformed himself. The patch on his chest was embroidered with a leopard. Leopard...is that a fourth-rank military officer? Ye Xiaotian suddenly felt a little hot under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still.
Yu Junting changed into the official robe, took the ivory folding fan from the old lady, walked slowly towards Ye Xiaotian, and stopped suddenly when he reached Zhan Ning'er, looked her up and down with a pair of handsome eyes with a little evil, and said with a smile: " Miss Zhan?"
Zhan Ning'er straightened her chest, shielded the knife behind her elbow, and stared at him without showing any weakness: "It's me, why?"
Yu Junting nodded, and said with a smile: "The three tigers in Shuixi have admired their names for a long time, and seeing them today, their reputation is well-deserved!"
Zhan Ning'er turned Xiao Yao's nose up and snorted coldly. Yu Junting smiled, and continued to walk towards Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian was sitting there in a daze, this change was too sudden and exciting, and the grand master Ye, who was putting on an official position, didn't react for a while.
Yu Junting waved the small ivory fan in front of Ye Xiaotian's eyes, then lightly led him forward, and said with a smile: "Master Ye, please give up your seat!"
"ah?"
Ye Xiaotian woke up with a start, and could only give way in embarrassment. Yu Junting lifted his red robe and sat down on the square stone upright. Suddenly his pretty face sank, and he scolded coldly: "General Guangwei of Ming Dynasty, Xingtongren Mansion Yu Junting, who is in charge of the judge, is here, and Ye Xiaotian, the magistrate of Huxian County, has not stepped forward to see you!"
As if there was a thunderbolt, even though Ye Xiaotian was thick-skinned, he couldn't help blushing with embarrassment, that's how he punished people just now, and now Yu Junting actually followed suit. It seems that this little boy was on the sidelines when he showed his authority just now, damn Li Jing, why didn't he remind me.
At this time, Ye Xiaotian thought of Li Jing, turned his head away, and gave him a hard look, Li Jing rolled his eyes at him with an innocent face, he had already hinted at Ye Xiaotian, and his eyes almost hurt internally. But Ye Xiaotian turned a blind eye to it, who is to blame.
Seeing that Ye Xiaotian did not kneel proudly, Yu Junting grinned slightly, revealing a row of neat little white teeth, and said with a smile: "Ye County Chancellor, disrespecting the superior is a crime of usurpation, and you will be punished."
According to the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, when officials of the same level meet each other, they salute each other. Those with lower status stand on the right side and salute, and those with higher status bow in return. If the status gap is even greater, the high-ranking person may not return the courtesy. If the difference in status between the two parties is more than four levels, then the humble person must bow, that is, kneel down once and kowtow four times.
The official system of the Ming Dynasty has nine grades and eighteen grades, General Guangwei is a fourth grade official, and Tongjuan is a sixth grade official. If it is calculated according to Yu Junting's lower position, Ye Xiaotian is just four grades behind, so he barely needs to kneel down. But he still has the status of General Guangwei, which is a full eight ranks behind, and he can't afford to kneel down if he wants to.
Ye Xiaotian was quite embarrassed, he didn't have any psychological barriers to kneel and salute to a Shangguan whose status was too different, he was indeed much higher in status than him, so he should bow, this is due etiquette. The problem is that he just used this to give others a bad impression, but he was immediately dismantled, and it was still in front of Ning'er, it was a bit shameless.
When Yu Junting saw Ye Xiaotian's embarrassment, he laughed with a "puchi", and two beautiful dimples appeared on his cheeks: "It seems that Mr. Ye is unwilling to bow down to this officer. Come on, beat him at the age of 20." Slap." After Yu Junting finished speaking, he nodded to Ye Xiaotian: "I hit you just to punish you for your disrespect. After the beating is over, you still have to worship!"
"Wait!"
Ye Xiaotian came to his senses, and argued: "It's not because I don't want to worship you, it's just that I have both the military position of Guangwei General of the fourth rank and the civilian position of Tongren Tongju of the sixth rank. Bye, please show your official status to prove it!"
Ye Xiaotian thought to himself, you are not on the way to take office, it is impossible to carry the big seal with you, but put it in the government office. Without evidence, I can delay the past. Even if I return to Tongren Mansion, I still have to bow to you. If I miss today, I will avoid embarrassment.
Yu Junting seemed to see what he was thinking in his heart, his wonderful eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Li Xiangrong, come here, and tell him whether I am the general judge of Tongren Mansion or General Guangwei!"
Li Xiangrong smiled wryly at Ye Xiaotian: "Ye County Chancellor, the person sitting above is indeed the general judge of this government, and he is indeed General Guangwei, I can attest to this."
Ye Xiaotian still struggled and said: "How can General Guangwei of the fourth rank be the general judge of Tongren of the sixth rank? Brother Li's words are unbelievable."
Li Xiangrong was sweating profusely and pulled Ye Xiaotian aside, and explained in a low voice: "Master Ye, it's true, how dare Li dare to joke with you about this kind of thing."
Li Xiangrong explained to Ye Xiaotian that Yu Junting was really General Guangwei, hereditary. When the Ming army entered Guizhou, it was Yu's family who took the lead in surrendering in Tongren Mansion and helped the Ming army to pacify the area. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang conferred the title of "Hereditary General Guangwei".
However, General Guangwei was originally a loose official. Officials mostly have three titles: official, post and dispatch. Sometimes the three titles are not unified. "Official" is used to assess the level of treatment, and the title is a false title to indicate the noble status, and dispatch is the power he actually holds.
A loose official with a low rank and a high official rank is called a "shou" official, and a person with a high official rank but a low official rank is called a "Xing" official; therefore, Yu Jun Only then did Ting Fang say, "General Guangwei is in charge of Tongren Mansion's general judgment."
At the beginning, the Zhang family was the most powerful in Tongren Mansion. If the Yu family became the master of Tongren Mansion, it would inevitably lead to strong opposition from the Zhang family. The family is the hereditary magistrate, and the Yu family is the hereditary general judge.
The power of passing judgments is second only to the magistrate. He is the leader of the magistrate's assistant official, who assists the magistrate in handling government affairs. All official affairs of the state government, such as soldiers and civilians, money and grain, household registration, taxation, prison litigation, etc., must be signed jointly by the magistrate to take effect, and The general judge also has the power to supervise other officials including the magistrate, so it is also called "Jianzhou".
The old Zhu family likes to do this kind of thing. For example, a bachelor's degree is powerful but low-ranking. At the beginning, Zhu Hongwu appointed a higher-ranking official to the Yu family, which was second only to the Zhang family in power, but let the Yu family serve as the deputy of the Zhang family. , and at the same time have the power to supervise the Zhang family, it may not be because of the intention of checks and balances.
Yu Junting was so bored sitting on the square stone, leaning on his chin with a small ivory fan, waiting for Li Jingchen to explain to Ye Xiaotian. Seeing that the two of them seemed to have finished explaining, Yu Junting lazily said: "Ye Xiancheng, do you understand, whether to pray or not!"
Li Jingli quickly pushed Ye Xiaotian, and persuaded in a low voice: "Go, go, women are small-minded, don't offend her!"
