If you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will be thrown away.
Zhu Pingan stood in the corner of the courtyard, watching Zhao Daying, who was welcomed as soon as he entered the house. He compared his own treatment when he entered the house and curled his lips speechlessly. The informant was given a hard time when he entered the house, but the executioner who took people's lives lightly was welcomed when he entered the house.
Interesting, this is the reality. People are more concerned about the power struggles behind the two parties involved in the memorial, but few people consider the memorial itself, and even fewer people consider the innocent people whose heads were "borrowed" to report their merits.
So what if Zhao Daying was promoted by Yan Song? !
What can the Yan family do? Do they think that Zhao Daying has Yan's party behind him, so they will definitely win? Do they know that they will definitely lose
After entering the room, the two were treated differently. Zhu Ping'an was left alone in a corner, but the heroic Zhao Daying was different. He moved freely among the crowd, chatting and laughing freely...
The one who took human life lightly became the popular figure in the courtyard, and the one who reported himself became like a clown...
hehe
The performance is about to begin, so please open your eyes and enjoy it slowly.
I will try my best to cooperate and perform with all my strength.
If I didn't perform according to the script in your mind and disappointed you, please understand that I am not a qualified actor.
Zhu Pingan watched quietly in the corner of the courtyard for a while, then found a seat and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea without any courtesy, took a sip of the tea, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled. Then he tapped the table lightly to keep the rhythm, and hummed Xue Zhiqian's "Actor" softly:
"I should have cooperated with you in the performance, but I turned a blind eye. You are forcing the person who loves you the most to improvise. When did we start to put away our bottom line and follow the changes of the times to watch those poor performances..."
While Zhao Daying was chatting and laughing with the officials, he was also paying attention to Zhu Ping'an's every move. At the beginning, Zhao Daying saw Zhu Ping'an like an abandoned dog, secretly glancing at him in envy and jealousy in a corner... Zhao Daying was secretly happy when he saw this.
But the good times didn’t last long. After a while, I saw the boy surnamed Zhu leisurely found a seat and sat down, and even drank by himself. Later, the boy even crossed his legs, tapped the table, and sang for his own entertainment...
WTF
Then Zhao Daying said "Fuck" in his heart.
This Zhu guy is too good at pretending. Even at this time, he still pretends to be indifferent. Go ahead and keep pretending. Let’s see how you can keep pretending when it’s time to petition!
Impeaching me is impeaching Lord Yan! Zhao Jin and Zhou Mian are your role models! Wait, wait until you go to jail, and see how you can still pretend!
Zhao Qiu also noticed Zhu Ping'an, and his eyes became even gloomier, as if a storm was brewing.
Zhu Ping'an had just sat down to drink a cup of tea when he heard a commotion at the gate of the courtyard. Then he saw that almost everyone had come to the door, including the clerks, runners and Jinyiwei who were setting up the court. They all bowed respectfully towards the door.
Zhu Ping'an stood up and looked towards the door. Oh, it turned out that Yan Shifan was here. No wonder.
"Minister Yan is here."
"Meet Master Yan."
"Master Yan's presence brings honor to the Ministry of Justice."
"Greetings, Lord Yan. I wonder how Lord Yan is doing these days. My family has a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation that has the effects of prolonging life, strengthening the kidneys and producing sperm. I would like to borrow it from you and give it to you..."
All the officials in the courtyard came forward to greet Yan Shifan, each of them was very enthusiastic. Yan Shifan is currently the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, so some people call him Vice Minister Yan, and some people call him Master Yan.
After all, he is a leader, and we have to be polite to him.
Zhu Ping'an walked towards the door, found an inconspicuous seat, and bowed to everyone.
Didn't move forward.
If you don't want to join in, you can't squeeze in.
After Yan Shifan arrived, the Minister of Justice He Ao also appeared in the courtyard shortly after him. Everyone came forward to greet them. Zhu Ping'an still stood in an inconspicuous position and bowed along with everyone else.
Around ten-thirty in the morning.
With the arrival of several bigwigs, the much-anticipated petition to the Ministry of Justice also kicked off.
The clerks and runners of the Ministry of Justice have already arranged the courtyard lobby. The layout of the courtyard lobby is basically the same as that of the Ministry of Justice, but it is much more spacious. There are five judge tables in the lobby, all covered with a vermilion tablecloth. On them are displayed the four treasures of the study, the command arrow tube, and five sets of files. This is the main judge's seat.
There are dozens of more exquisite tables and chairs on both sides of the lobby, with pens, ink, paper, inkstones and tea on the tables. These are the seats for the audience.
There are several simple tables and chairs at the bottom of the lobby, which are the recording seats for clerks, signing officials, and scribes who prepare drafts.
On both sides of the hall were placed weapons such as sticks, knives, guns, swords, halberds, as well as torture instruments such as tongs and canes.
The Jinyiwei and the criminal police also lined up in two rows at the bottom of the hall, holding thick water and fire sticks.
The lobby was set up and officials began to enter.
"Master Yan, Minister He, please go in first."
Officials including Zhao Qiu, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Tuo Hai, the Co-director of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and others stopped in their tracks and extended their hands to invite Yan Shifan, He Ao and other bigwigs to take their seats first.
"How can this be done? Minister He and I are just here to listen. You are the chief judges. Asking us to go first is like reversing the order of host and guest. You first, you first." Yan Shifan narrowed his one eye, dug his ear, blew on his fingers, and shook his head with a smile.
Compared with other officials, Yan Shifan did not seem to be here to petition, but rather to be on vacation, relaxed, casual and natural. Coming to the Ministry of Justice court was like returning to his backyard, and he did not take this petition seriously at all.
"Master Yan really takes the overall situation into consideration."
"Lord Yan is a man of high moral character. We are ashamed of ourselves."
After being rejected, Zhao Qiu and others looked at Yan Shifan with emotion and admiration, expressing their admiration in their hearts.
Yan Shifan sounded like Justice Bao, or Di Renjie reborn. Zhu Pingan rolled his eyes silently in an inconspicuous corner.
Finally, all the officials obeyed Yan Shifan. After the officials greeted each other, the five chief judges of the petition, namely, Jinyiwei Tongzhi Tuohai, Bingbu Zuo Shilang Zhao Qiu, Xingbu Shilang Wang Xueyi, Dali Temple Shaoqing Wan Gong, and Duchayuan You Vice Censor-in-Chief Wang Gao, entered the courtyard first and took their seats in the main judge's seat.
Then, Yan Shifan, Minister of Justice He Ao and other important officials began to arrive in the gallery and sat down in order of importance. The clerks and servants standing by served the officials a cup of hot tea at the appropriate time.
The officials who would preside over the petition took their seats one by one, and the officials who would listen also took their seats.
The petition to the Ministry of Justice officially began.
