Bai Chun looked at Li Hong and told her to shut up, so he curled his lips and stopped talking. He originally thought it was a small matter, but who knew that this Fangzheng was quite upright, and even Zong Chuke and the prince couldn't do it. It seems that perhaps only His Majesty can do it.
So the majestic Prince of the Tang Dynasty was driven out of the house by an unqualified Fang Zheng.
Ken Lai and his mother-in-law followed Li Hong out in a daze. The two maids didn't know what to do at this moment. They originally thought that with the current crown prince, they would soon be able to switch from official slaves to household servants. , I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect that not only was it not done, but I was kicked out of the house!
Suddenly, several people's minds were filled with questions. Could it be that this prince was fake
"Smile, laugh at you. Go and call Zong Chuke over. He doesn't know us, so what should we do? We can't just remove him. It's against the rules." Li Hong looked at being driven out and was still laughing so hard. Bai Chun said angrily.
Looking at the eyes of the hard-working and others, especially the eyes of the two maids, Li Hong felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose awkwardly and asked Hua Meng to quickly find Zong Chuke.
I think this matter has been simplified. I'm afraid if I go in now and tell others that I am the current prince, they probably won't believe it and they will just go to the judicial department and have me jailed.
Chang'an and Wannian counties are the two capital counties of Chang'an city. Each of the six county lieutenants in one county performs his own duties, and each is in charge of one cao. As for Ji County, which is the counties surrounding Chang'an City, there are two county captains in one county, with a total of six Cao Cao, one in charge of military mages, and one in charge of Gong Hucang.
Above the county captain are the county magistrate and the chief registrar, and above that is the county magistrate. But Li Hong doesn't know the county magistrate either. He only knows Zong Chuke, the parent official in charge of Jingzhao Mansion, Jing County and Ji County. .
So while Hua Meng was looking for Zong Chuke, he and Bai Chun were standing at the main entrance of the square, watching the magistrate of Wannian County passing in front of them, not knowing that he was the magistrate.
It wasn't until he heard Fang Zheng telling the county magistrate that he and others were making trouble unreasonably and being suspected of selling young children that Li Hong realized that the forty-year-old man in front of him was the magistrate of Wannian County.
Before anyone could ask him, he asked first: "Are you the magistrate of Wannian County? What's your name?"
The county magistrate was stunned for a moment. Why is this young man so ignorant of etiquette? Before he could ask the question, he asked first.
The county magistrate didn't care. He smiled cheerfully and said, "What is the relationship between these people and you? Why do you want to help them register in the household register? I wonder who you are, sir?"
"I..." Li Hong stared and wanted to say that he was the current prince of the Tang Dynasty, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. He didn't even know him, which would probably make his hard-working wife and concubine think that he was a real prince. Incompetent, can't even handle such a small thing.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Are you the magistrate of Wannian County? Where is Zong Chuke now? Ask him to come over. I know him." Li Hong said angrily.
What kind of job did Bai Chun, a loser, find for himself? No one knows me, and you still want to apply for household registration? Now it's better, I was slapped in the face.
"Sir, if you don't tell the truth anymore, as the county magistrate of Wannian, I will put you all in prison and interrogate you one by one." As the magistrate said, there were two jailers ready to arrest you. .
Li Hong could only shake his head helplessly. Seeing Bai Chun preparing to take out the Prince's Token, Li Hong laughed angrily again. In his opinion, now that his Prince's Token is likely to be given to those few more quickly, The jailer put himself in jail.
So he stopped Bai Chun's movements, and at the same time told Lawless not to mess around, and said to the county magistrate: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that these people must be registered as households. As the Wannian County Magistrate, can you Do you want to make the decision? If you can't, then just wait here with me for a while... Look, Zong Chuke is here."
While he was talking, he saw Zong Chuke running over with sweat on his forehead and panting heavily.
"Master... Master... what are you doing? Why are you here? What's the matter?" Zong Chuke reluctantly bowed in front of Li Hong, and then bent over and breathed heavily.
Magistrate Wannian was stunned, this... This is indeed the chief official of Jingzhao Mansion, now also called Shaoyin.
When he first took office, he summoned the magistrate of Chang'an County. He also summoned the two magistrates of Jing County to Guangdefang, where they also talked for a long time.
At this time, seeing Zong Chuke bowing respectfully to the young master in front of them, the identity of this young master was immediately obvious in their eyes.
As a fifth-rank official in the capital, he naturally knows whose disciple Zong Chuke is. If it were not for His Highness the Crown Prince, Zong Chuke would still be several ranks lower than the county magistrate of their capital county.
But there was nothing I could do. Four years ago, by some strange combination of circumstances, I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is said that in the Ziwei Palace, when Zong Chuke faced those rebel soldiers, he held a horizontal sword and defended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regardless of his life or death.
As a result, he was promoted to nine levels in a row, from the sixth-rank magistrate of Ji County to now one of the third-rank Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture.
"What do I do? Of course I came to you to register, otherwise what would I do here? I have nothing to do and you want you to kick me out of the house?" Li Hong felt confident now, glanced at the county magistrate, and then He looked at Fang Zheng who was sliding down the door frame along the door. He walked over quickly and supported Fang Zheng with one hand.
"He who doesn't know is not guilty. Besides, even if I told you that I am the prince, I'm afraid you won't believe it. Get up." Li Hong smiled and Mang Zhong helped Fang Zheng, whose legs were weak and his face was pale.
Fang Zheng's mind was blank now, and his heart was beating very fast. He had mistaken the prince for a human trafficker just now, and secretly told the judiciary that he had summoned the county magistrate, and was preparing to bring the prince to justice and put him in prison. of.
Magistrate Wannian was also dizzy. Did he and two jailers just prepare to arrest the prince? Are you going to rebel
He followed with his legs also weak, and slowly walked into the room again. At this moment, the seat where Fang Zheng was originally sitting had been taken by Li Hong. Naturally, everyone in the room except Li Hong was standing there.
"Sir, you came here like this. If you need anything, you can just give me an order. Why bother coming here in person?" Zong Chuke said hurriedly, having just wiped off the sweat on his forehead.
"It's nothing. I was tricked out today by Bai Chun and Ren Lao Ren. No, it's just those children. They have no evidence, just nothing. They are registered in the household. Also, these two official servants A concubine who is also in the household and works hard. Hurry up and I will go back after finishing it." Li Hong said it himself without waiting for Bai Chun to say. Who knows what shocking things the mountain gun will say later. language.
However, he discovered one thing, that is, Bai Chun, this idiot, is not just a bit of an idiot in terms of personnel and other aspects, he is a very idiot and cannot be any more idiotic.
After listening to Li Hong's words, Zong Chuke took the certificates of the two maids from the county magistrate, then looked at the children, looked at Li Hong with a troubled expression, and moved his lips.
Li Hong looked at Zong Chuke's virtue and felt something was wrong. He was so embarrassed about this matter, was it
"Your Highness, this matter..."
"What's wrong? I can't even get this thing done with you Zong Chuke? Can't it be done?" Li Hong's face darkened. He was kicked out of the house by Fang Zheng today and admitted it.
But if the person he personally promoted also refutes his face, he will dismiss him.
"No, Master, this matter... Whether it's Jingzhao Prefecture or Wannian County, let alone a square, we... we don't have this right, Master."
"Zong Chuke, tell me clearly! Jingzhao Mansion doesn't have this right? Are you kidding me! Do you know that Jingzhao Mansion is not bound by the reporting requirements step by step? I can immediately report any case that is confirmed and has solid evidence." I’ll give you the death penalty! Tell me quickly what’s going on!”
"Master, don't be angry, this... Regarding household registration, our Jingzhao Mansion only has the right to enforce it, and has no right to modify or add household registration laws. What's more, after the household registration system is perfected, changes in the household registration of officials and slaves cannot be confirmed without proof. There are certain conditions, not that..."
"Fart, which bastard made this decision? Why didn't I know? Tell me, who is in charge of household registration now? Call me over, and I want to ask him. Falling into the household registration system actually increases tax revenue and is beneficial to farming. How can things be included in the scope of the regulations? It's a pig's brain. Who thought of this... Zong Chuke, what did you just say? Tell me again." Li Hong suddenly woke up. Damn it, I scolded myself.
"Master, this..."
The expression on Zong Chuke's face at this moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After seeing Li Hong, who was scolding himself happily, he came to his senses, his face showed that embarrassing look.
Zong Chuke suppressed the smile in his heart, but the nerves on his face were shaking uncontrollably, twitching like a stroke.
At this moment, Bai Chun had almost lowered her chin to her tall height. Her thin shoulders could not help but tremble at this moment. She must have stopped laughing.
Everyone in the room knew that the people around him, apart from Zong Chuke, were probably the ones scolding him. Looking at Bai Chun's idiotic look, you could tell how happy she was smiling now.
After looking at the unclear people, Li Hong said to Zong Chuke again: "Then tell me, if these people are registering households instead, what should I do? Who should I call?"
Zong Chuke carefully moved his facial muscles, trying his best to make his expression more natural when facing His Highness. He endured the pain in his stomach and said seriously: "Master, whether it is the official slave or the maid who is editing To register a household, or to register a household without a hand, you need the permission of the Minister of Household Affairs. "
As soon as Zong Chuke finished speaking, Bai Chun was beside him, laughing uncontrollably and holding his shoulders until they fell to the ground, lowering his head and holding his legs while trembling.
