Xu Shizhi, oh Xu Shizhi, you can't get off the point again!

The new Minister of Revenue and the new Minister of War walked out of the palace in triumph.

And congratulated each other.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

- Jiang Weizhong also thought it through. Anyway, at least he got to experience the role of a minister. And if someone is really needed to take over the position of Minister of Revenue in the future, he has work experience, which is also an important resume.

The sun in the sky showed its big round face, and the whole capital was bathed in glory. The new Minister of War Jiao Cai

, who usually liked to keep a straight face, smiled so happily for the first time. He remembered that there was a mountain in his hometown before. It was a water-shaped mountain with several peaks connected together and no prominent main peak. It was called Wenqu Mountain. Everyone said that this Feng Shui treasure land must produce Wenquxing!

Now it seems that he is the Wenquxing!

Now he is a minister, he will be the prime minister in the future! Step by step to the top!

Jiao Cai stepped on the pedal to get on the carriage, his heart felt like it was bitten by a bug, itchy, he must go home and be proud of it.

- If you don't eat the official meal, you can leave the imperial city at will during the time when others are eating. But you must be there at the yamen roll call in the afternoon.

The carriage started, Jiao Cai closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage to rest. After walking a few steps, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the back of his head hit the carriage. Such an unlucky situation made Jiao Cai angry all of a sudden: "What is this! The driving is so unstable, If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Go back to the account office to get your salary and leave!"

Outside, the driver was staring at the group of ruffians who surrounded him, feeling uneasy: "Master, someone surrounded our car..."

Jiao Cai came out with a stern face and scolded: "What are you doing! In broad daylight, you dare to block the carriage of an official appointed by the court!"

The ruffians looked at each other and asked directly: "Are you the Yushi surnamed Jiao?"

Jiao Cai corrected: "It's the Du Yushi, which is higher than Yushi."

Corrected again: "Now he is the Minister of War."

The ruffians looked at each other again, with excitement in their pupils: "That's right!"

"What is right... Hey! What are you doing! You are attacking an official of the imperial court, did you know that? Ouch! Stop it! Stop hitting them! Ouch!"

These ruffians climbed onto the carriage in a hurry, and Jiao Cai made a wrong decision - he subconsciously stepped back and hid in the carriage, and then was blocked.

The screams of being beaten broke the car window.

On the other side, Jiang Wei Zhong was treated similarly.

The other officials at the palace gate were shocked by the commotion. Several people subconsciously took a step back.

- No matter how high-ranking they are, they are still mortals. When there are no guards around them, they can't exercise their power at all!

And the guards at the gate of the imperial city would not step forward to help. Their duty was to guard the city gates. As long as the enemy was not attacking the imperial city, they should not leave their post without permission.

- Even if the two ministers were beaten to death at the gate of the palace, they could not move.

- So in history, there were many cases of ministers fighting at the gate of the imperial city, being assassinated at the gate of the imperial city, and being hit by tiles and stones by the people at the gate of the imperial city. Basically, either ministers with strong military power stopped them, or the guards in charge of patrolling the capital saw them and stepped forward to protect them. The guards at the gate of the imperial city basically did not get involved in these things.

*

That group of ruffians did not really go to kill the ministers. After a while, one of them shouted at the top of his voice: "Run! The government is coming!!!"

and then they dispersed.

The two new ministers were left limping and being helped to the Imperial Hospital in a state of panic.

Jiao Cai: "You wicked people! You wicked people! I must...hiss-be gentle!" Doctor Yu

said nothing, carefully applying medicine to his hands, and then carefully applying ointment around his eyes and swollen face. Finally, he carefully treated his chin-when the hooligans fight, they will not even let go of the beard, and pulled out several hairs, which is really painful.

Beside him, Jiang Wei Zhong did not swear so much, and he only paid attention to one thing the whole time: "That who...he is not here, right?"

He asked in a stealthy manner.

Doctor Yu knew who that person was at once and answered immediately, "No, no! I heard that he went to the public kitchen!"

He wanted to answer in a low voice, but he was born with a loud voice. When he was on duty in the Yu Pharmacy, he could hear everything clearly from inside to outside the room.

The others present immediately knew who they were talking about.

Jiang Weizhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiao Cai also breathed a sigh of relief.

There were two more breaths of carbon dioxide in the air.

Then, a voice interrupted: [Eh? Who is it? After Minister Jiang was beaten, he was still concerned about where the other person went.]

Jiang Weizhong's body froze, as if facing a powerful enemy.

Jiao Cai almost collapsed.

Wait a minute! Didn't they say that this person went to the public kitchen to eat!

Don't you want to pack your share! Weren't you very upset about this before?

Is it so important to see how excited they were? ! !

[Never mind, it doesn't matter who Jiang Wei Zhong's sweetheart is!]

Jiang Wei Zhong: It's you:)

[Fortunately, I heard the news in time and rushed over! I rushed to the scene!]

[It's worth it that I didn't even eat lunch!]

[Wow, look at this wound... The scene was really intense!]

Xu Yanmiao quietly took a look from the window, then quickly retracted his head and tiptoed away.

[The most important thing about seeing the excitement of people you know is to run away after seeing it. You must not be discovered or remembered, otherwise you will be hated!]

The eyes of the prince in the corner of the wall lit up.

He nodded vigorously.

That's right, that's it! Xu Lang is really my confidant!

The atmosphere in the room was a little tense, and the two parties looked at each other awkwardly, then shifted their gazes, flustered.

"Xu Lang!" They said in unison, with a sob in their voices: "Let's discuss it, let's not get to the bottom of this matter, okay!"

Unfortunately, Xu Lang didn't have the ability to read minds.

[It's very strange, why would a scoundrel beat up the minister for no reason? Do they think their life is too hard and want to go to jail to eat free food?]

The old emperor hurried over and heard this, but he just didn't take it seriously.

"My two lords." The old emperor was full of momentum: "No matter what those scoundrels did, blocking the minister's carriage in broad daylight and wantonly beating up the court officials is really against heaven! I will never show mercy!"

The two paused.

Their heartbeats became faster and faster, and their faces became more and more ugly.

Jiao Cai spoke quickly: "Your Majesty, the ruffians have never been immersed in the benevolence and righteousness of Confucius and Mencius, and they do not know etiquette and respect for superiors and subordinates. But the root cause is that they have not been educated. Etiquette does not extend to common people. If you vent your anger on them because of their rudeness, you will not cure the root cause. Unless you kill them, it is possible that this will happen again."

Jiang Weizhong sat calmly on the side, giving Jiao Cai a thumbs up in his heart.

"Minister Jiao is really a brilliant man. I don't know why he was beaten, but anyway, the two of them are in the same boat. '

After listening to Jiao Cai's words, the old emperor only said: "They are indeed uneducated, but beating the court officials has seriously violated the law, and they can no longer use the excuse of being uneducated. Moreover, this time they blocked the minister, which was obviously premeditated and organized, not a momentary confusion. If they are not severely punished, it will only encourage their arrogance and make the court increasingly chaotic."

The old emperor: "Gentlemen should be treated with kindness, and villains should be punished to stop violence. If you let the common people do whatever they want and ignore the law, it will be a loss of benevolence and righteousness."

These words were like thunder falling from a snowy mountain, and the two new ministers looked at Emperor Tiantong in shock.

Your Majesty can actually say such a rich and vivid word? !

[Wow! The old emperor can actually say such a word! 】

Old Emperor: "..."

Xu Yanmiao, what do you mean? You treat me like an ordinary person, right? Let

me tell you, I went to a private school when I was a kid! Later, I joined the rebel army. No matter how busy I was, I would ask the educated people in the army to teach me every day!

Do you think I am you? I can't even recite the Analects.

——Although I have recited it now.

Jiang Wei Zhong: "..."

No, I can't let Xu Yanmiao divert your majesty's attention anymore.

He tried to continue what he said before: "Your Majesty, the law is important, but benevolent governance is more important. Because of the cruelty of the last emperor of the previous dynasty, the people suffered from war and have only now entered a peaceful life for more than 30 years. Although these people behaved improperly, the reason they did so was also related to the long-term war and chaos. They must be fierce, otherwise it would be difficult for them to survive."

Jiang Wei Zhong: "Therefore, I think the best way is to win the hearts of the people with benevolent governance. This case should be handled leniently, and education should be strengthened to guide the people to understand the law. Only in this way can we truly calm the people and stop fighting, so that the country can be long-term and stable."

Jiao Cai's eyes lit up and he looked at Jiang Wei Zhong with admiration.

"Good minister! Smart and intelligent, a smart man! You can move around more in the future. I just don't know why he was beaten. Could it be that I implicated him? '

The old emperor looked at this and that, and crossed his arms over his chest: "I remember that you are not such a generous person."

Jiao Cai gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I always repay evil with kindness..."

[Ah? No, isn't it very stingy? ] Xu Yanmiao's voice came over, almost making Jiao Cai bite his teeth to pieces.

[When I was a private school teacher, I clearly remembered a few words in the "Thousand Characters" incorrectly. When the students went home to recite, they were corrected by their parents. They also directly expelled the students, saying that since the parents of a butcher were so good at teaching, let the parents teach. ]

[In fact, he was indeed a butcher, but because he could not access too many books, he only read one "Thousand Characters" from childhood to adulthood, and recited it over and over again, and remembered it very well. 】

Jiao Cai's face flushed.

That can't be blamed on him! He learned "Thousand Character Classic" when he was a child, and it wasn't tested in the imperial examinations, so it's normal to remember a few words wrongly!

Besides, it's not tested in the imperial examinations anyway, so is there any need to correct it! Instead, it's the student's parents who destroyed the impression he had on the student. How can he teach the student in the future! After

being filled with righteous indignation, Jiao Cai was a little embarrassed. He turned around and found that whether it was Jiang Wei Zhong or His Majesty, the eyes they looked at him revealed a strangeness.

Jiao Cai: "This... I..."

I can explain it!

[Damn it, why am I distracted again, this is not good!]

Jiao Cai, Jiang Wei Zhong: "!!!"

No, we think this is good!

[Look why they were suddenly beaten...]

The two new ministers: Don't--

[Oh my! 】

【Because they both had their eyes on a wealthy widow in her thirties, they tried their best to please her. 】

【And knowing that they had an unknown "rival in love", the two of them fought against each other from a distance. 】

Jiao Cai: "?!"

Jiang Wei Zhong: "?!"

The one who was also chasing the rich widow and blocking my financial path, it turned out to be you? !

The two looked at each other, and all the previous sympathy and sympathy were gone.

【Hahahahahaha! 】

【The one with the surname Jiang took the warm route and often helped the widow with work. When he got hot, he took off his clothes to show that he was strong and capable of work. 】

【Of course, the rich widow has no shortage of people to do the work, but she may need her husband to be physically strong! 】

Jiao Cai: "Bah!!!"

Shameless and scumbag! Disgraceful!

Jiang Wei Zhong: "Haha."

If he wasn't afraid that Xiao Bai Ze would pay attention to this, he would have said: Why don't you take off your clothes? Is it because you don't like to take off your clothes? It's because you don't have any.

Xiao Bai Ze used a very clever word before, and now it can be used.

Jiang Wei Zhong's mouth shape: Bai, Zhan, Ji!

Jiao Cai was furious, jumped up and stretched out his hand to pinch Jiang Wei Zhong's mouth.

Jiang Wei Zhong quickly dodged.

Just when the battle between the two was about to escalate, Xu Yanmiao said: [Oh, Jiao is taking the cultural route, asking widows out, and then he can talk about every scenic spot, and occasionally write a few poems for the widow. 】

[Hmm...]

[The story of the pretty widow and the poor scholar seems to be popular among many people.]

Jiang Wei Zhong: "Bullshit!!!"

This kind of poor scholar is the easiest to change his mind! What are you praising for! Once he gets cheated of money, he will definitely not care about the lady!

Jiao Cai: "Hehe."

It's as if you are not a scholar.

Besides, the lady likes my poems!

The two looked at each other again, and the lightning and thunder in their eyes made the onlookers' scalps numb.

Xu Yanmiao: [Eh? Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten something?]

The prince in the corner was about to climb the wall.

The reason!

The reason!!!

Why did the ruffians beat the minister? You didn't tell me the reason!
