Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The Taishanghuang with white beard and hair sat upright in the middle, with the Empress Dowager and Emperor Guangde on both sides, and the Taishang and King Zhongshun on the other side.
The five people lined up with wild geese and occupied the main seat in the north, and between the columns on both sides, there were countless bead curtains, and there were shadows and shadows inside, and I don't know how many concubines and palaces were hidden.
I have to say that sometimes it feels too sensitive, which is not a good thing.
For example, right now, Sun Shaozong felt a pair of hungry eyes peeping at him through the beaded curtain—there were so many eyes that seemed to have been lingering between his legs for a long time!
It's no wonder that the emperor and the emperor are older than each other. The women in this palace have not seen a fierce man for a long time. Now they are hiding behind the bead curtain and are not afraid of being seen. Naturally, they are desperate. look at it!
But it would be fine if there were some young and beautiful concubines in it, if they were all like the empress dowager...
Just thinking about this possibility for a while, Sun Shaozong felt like a man on his back!
Fortunately, he was accustomed to giving presentations at the time, and no matter how hesitant he was, he could still keep a trace of chaos on his face, and explained the case of 'Tengu eating the heart'.
The Emperor Taishang listened very seriously, and from time to time he would ask a few more questions. The concubine and the King Zhongshun would occasionally ask some questions, but Emperor Guangde and the Queen Mother Niu said nothing. of.
Seeing that the case came to an end, and the shocking fate of Shi Lang's father and son was revealed. Although the audience all over the place knew about this for a long time, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah~!"
The Emperor Taishang also sighed and praised: "You can solve such a tortuous and absurd case in half a day. No wonder you have earned such a great reputation in a short period of time. I only hope that you will be able to work diligently in the future. Don't live up to the word 'Shen Dian' that the people gave you."
Sun Shaozong hurriedly fell to his knees and said respectfully: "Wei ministers follow the teachings of the Emperor Taishang, and never dare to slack off!"
"That's fine, that's fine."
After listening to this half-day story, the Emperor Taishang was obviously a little tired. He leaned back and waved at Emperor Guangde with a smile: "Send the banquet, it's rare to have such a bear-like body, but don't starve him. "
Emperor Guangde nodded slightly, and prepared to pass the decree and set the banquet.
But Sun Shaozong was watched for a long time, and even the object under his crotch had a layer of goose bumps, and he wanted to apply oil on the soles of his feet immediately.
He hurriedly folded his hand and interrupted, "Reporting to Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor, when Wei Chen entered the palace, he encountered a woman who blocked the road and shouted injustice. Hearing her words seemed to have hidden feelings, so the minister promised to rush to Daxing County to review the case as soon as possible. -Because the life of this case is at stake, this minister really does not dare to delay in the palace for too long."
After hearing this, there was no other reaction from the others. Emperor Guangde even nodded with satisfaction, but the old queen mother Niu sneered and said with a hoarse voice: "If it is really a big case where human life is at stake, you should have done it earlier. Why do you have to wait until now to report the report?"
cut~
This old woman must be dissatisfied with her nephew's stubbornness, so she deliberately finds fault with her!
Fortunately, she couldn't lay eggs, and because of the concubine's affairs, she was very unhappy with the emperor, otherwise Sun Shaozong would have been tragic long ago.
As for now...
Since Sun Shaozong used this reason to get away, naturally he would not be able to cope with this question.
I saw him calmly bowed and said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, investigating the case is a public business, and reporting the case to Your Majesty is also a public business, so this minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with it - and Your Majesty's banquet, although Yu Chen is a great deal. The glory of the emperor, but it is a private matter when you study it carefully, since I have just received the teachings of the Supreme Emperor, how can I dare to abolish the public for personal reasons?"
"Good one doesn't dare to abandon the public for personal reasons!"
As soon as Sun Shaozong finished speaking, he heard Emperor Guangde praise loudly: "If that's the case, then I'll keep this meal for you."
As he said that, he moved his hand and instructed: "Come here, get a bullfighting suit and put it on with him."
Then he said sternly: "This bullfighting suit is not a reward for your credit, but a public attitude towards you!"
This bullfighting suit is bright yellow, similar in color to the imperial robe, and embroidered with red horned horned dragons. It is a symbol of honor bestowed by the imperial court on officials of the third rank and above, and now Sun Shaozong has been given the bullfight suit as a mere sixth rank. , it is even more valuable!
However, he said that the servants hurriedly fetched the largest 'brocade over-the-shoulder bullfighting suit' and let Sun Shaozong wear it on his body, adding a bit of extravagance to the majestic and sturdy temperament.
But Sun Shaozong had mixed feelings in his heart - it was an unexpected joy to get this bullfighting suit, but when Jia Yucun knew it, he was afraid that he would be even more jealous.
Less gossip.
But he said that he thanked the emperor for his mighty grace, and received a few words of diligent errands before he was released from the palace.
Arriving outside the Xihua Gate, Sun Shaozong saw that he was dressed in yellow and bright red.
Who knew that before he could leave, someone shouted hello, "Brother, come here and talk!"
Sun Shaozong looked at the prestige, but saw a person jumping out of the carriage on the opposite side. Who else could it be if it wasn't Jia Yucun
got~
It's hard not to stimulate him now!
Sun Shaozong was helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and go forward, pretending to be surprised: "Why is my brother here? Could it be that he made a special trip to wait for me here?!"
As soon as he approached, Jia Yucun's eyes were firmly caught by the bullfighting suit, and he sighed loudly: "It really is a bullfighting suit! How many third-rank officials can't ask for the grace, virtuous brother, you It's really enviable and envious to get one with a mere sixth-rank body."
The breath was much softer than in the morning.
It seems that Jia Yucun and others are here to repair the relationship between them.
Sun Shaozong was busy and said modestly: "I'm just lucky, it's nothing..."
"Haha, you often solve strange cases, and it's not just luck, right?"
Jia Yucun laughed, stepped forward and grabbed Sun Shaozong's arm, and said earnestly: "Brother, I have never seen Tianyan since I entered the capital. I originally thought that this time I would finally be able to show my skills in front of Your Majesty, but who knows... Ugh!"
He let out a long sigh and said, "I lost my sanity for a while because of this, and I accidentally took my anger on Brother Xian, and I hope Brother Xian will not take offense."
Sun Shaozong really couldn't tell whether his words were sincere, or whether he was showing his acting skills in front of him out of consideration for his own interests.
However, considering the current situation in Shuntian Prefecture, the two of them will gain both together, and lose both if they divide.
Therefore, he also smiled and said: "What did your brother say, you are not happy, don't show your face to our own family, do you still complain in front of others? Besides, our own brothers, why don't you see anything strange?"
Only then did Jia Yucun put on a vice smile again, pointed to the carriage behind him, and said beyond doubt, "If that's the case, how about accompany me to Dingxianglou to get drunk? Come here so that my brother can complain about my grievances!"
"This… "
If there is nothing important, Sun Shaozong will definitely not refuse, but he just said in front of the emperor that he is going to investigate an unjust case, how can he go to accompany Jia Yucun to get drunk
So busy will come to the cause and effect one by one.
Who knew that Jia Yucun's complexion changed greatly after listening to it, and he paused and said, "How can you be so reckless? The Daxing magistrate himself is fine, but his Yue family Jiangnan Zhen is not easy to provoke! Especially Zhen The family and the Rongguo Mansion have been in-laws for generations, if you offend him, wouldn't you also offend the Rongguo Mansion?"
The Zhen family and the Jia family have been in-laws for generations
Wouldn't that be called 'Zhen Jia' or 'Jia Zhen'
Just thinking the names of these two families are interesting, but Jia Yucun has already bullied him, bit his ear with his feet on his feet and said: "Since the evidence is all there, why don't you check it casually, just say this case is not without doubt. Yes - anyway, because of your 'Shenjuan' name, others don't dare to question it randomly, so as not to lose the face of the son-in-law of the Zhen family."
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong's face suddenly sank, and he blurted out a retort: "Could it be that for his face, two innocent people will die in vain?!"
"Be quiet, what are you shouting!"
Jia Yucun looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention, so he said sternly: "Brother, when you are your own, what can you say - in this official circle, it's just the other side, the most taboo is to offend the backer. , Benefactor! If you hate Rongguo Mansion because of a few pariahs, in the future if there is a horse with short stirrups, who will help you?!"
Sun Shaozong looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled again, then reached out and lightly brushed the bullfight suit a few times.
Jia Yucun was a little puzzled at first, but then he seemed to understand something, and frowned: "Do you want to point to the emperor to support you?"
"Do not."
Sun Shaozong shook his head and smiled and said, "I mean, if it's just for the sake of someone's son-in-law, and two innocent lives will be sacrificed in vain, how can my brother have the face to wear this bullfighting suit in the future?"
