Chapter 422: Married at the door of the butcher

He went up and fought with a loud sound. It was the first time that Zhao Ji had been in charge of the court that he had hit someone in the hall.

Fang La, wearing a dragon robe, knelt on the ground by several military men, his cheeks were swollen and his teeth fell all over the ground. Those who could serve as a servant by Zhao Ji must have some tricks.

"It's unreasonable. There are such a fool in the world who stir up chaos in the world for their own private purposes, consume the country's money and food, and sacrifice innocent lives. Don't you hear that my Song Dynasty has prestige and kindness to the people, and the prosperous era, and how can you allow such a slut to be affected by such a slut." Zhao Ji is a scholar and a literati with noble sentiment. Even if he is furious, his words are still just like reasoning.

Tong Guan squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and knew it was almost done. He stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, you will behead you for the people who are harming the country and the people, and you should show your head to the public to warn the world."

Zhao Ji seemed to be waiting for this sentence. Although Zhao Ji had always been elegant, when Fang La was speaking just now, Zhao Ji felt guilty in his heart for no reason. At this time, he heard Tong Guan's words and immediately continued: "Authentication, those who harm the country and the people will be angry with each other. Chai Jin, who rebelled on Liangshan, will be shown to the public together!"

Chai Jin was really a disaster this time. Zhao Ji had already forgotten the clan of the previous dynasty who was imprisoned in the prison. At this time, Fang La's appearance made Zhao Ji feel uneasy. In anger, Chai Jin, who was about to be released, was also sentenced to death.

When Wang Fu heard the words, he said, "Your Majesty is wise and repaid grievances with righteousness. The way of a saint is to be straightforward. The national law is straightforward, and your Majesty is just!"

Tong Guan waved his hand to signal a few imperial army to take Fang La down, and this farce ended here.

Zhao Ji calmed down a little, looked at the golden crown of Panlong above Anji, and glanced at the large seal the size of a palm, and his heart slowly calmed down. He spoke, "The Privy Council envoy Tong Guan and Zheng Zhi, the governor of the Four Prefectures, have defeated the bandits and bandits. He has made outstanding achievements. Wang Qing, tell me how to reward him!"

Wang Fu heard the words and stepped forward and replied, "Taiwei Tong has always had great achievements in military achievements. He is a pillar of the Song Dynasty. He is rare in a century. This time, he has made new achievements. According to the opinions of his ministers, he can be granted the title of Grand Master and the Duke of Chu to show His Majesty the will of the Majesty to the heavenly mind."

The Grand Tutor, Taifu, and Taibao were the three dukes, not actual positions, but the highest title for the ministers. The titles of the Song Dynasty were no longer as good as before, and they could not be inherited.

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said, "Okay, it's a good news. How should Zheng Zhi reward him?"

Zhao Ji asked again, Wang Fu lowered his head and pretended to think, and replied: "Zheng Zhi followed Tong Taiwei to fight on the battlefield and use his duties for the country. He can be granted the title of Zhongfeng Doctor to encourage him."

Zhao Ji was stunned when he heard this. What is the position of Zhongfeng Doctor? It is just a civil servant under the fourth rank. Zheng Zhi has already been from the fourth rank Taizhong Doctor. Now he is named a Zhongfeng Doctor under the fourth rank. This reward is too small. Even a person who is incompetent can be promoted like this even if he has two years of experience.

"Wang Qing, Zheng Zhi is serving the country and dies on the battlefield, it seems..." Zhao Ji spoke.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zhi's achievements in suppressing the bandits are obvious to all. However, Zheng Zhi is less than thirty years old. This year, Shandong's suppression of bandits has been promoted to three levels in succession, ranking in the fourth rank, and has the power to manage the four prefectures. The speed of promotion has already made many complaints in the court and the people. According to the opinions of the ministers, it is better to record the recent merits to Zheng Zhengluo, and to reward them together after they have made more merits in the future." Wang Fu replied.

Wang Fu's words are not unreasonable. Zheng Zhi's speed is amazing in several years from one to a fourth-rank official. Many people even know that Zheng Zhi was originally a butcher from Weizhou, and it is inevitable that those serious scholars will criticize him behind the scenes. Not only did Zheng Zhi get lucky, but they are also talking about Cai Jing and Tong Guan harming the country and the people. If even a butcher can be a fourth-rank official, what is the point of studying these scholars who have worked hard for ten years?

Tong Guan frowned and asked, "Grandpa Wang, something that surpassed the eighth level in the court has also happened. Why are there still people who can't stand it? "

Tong Guan's words were straightforward and Wang Fu was merciless. Tong Guan is now a giant in the court, so how could he look at Wang Fu's face? If Cai Jing was in the prime minister, Tong Guan naturally had a good deal of business. Wang Fu was really not in the eyes of Tong Guan.

As soon as Tong Guan said this, most of the officials in the court looked unhappy. Most of the people who could stand in the front of the court had gray hair, but the only one who stood in the front was a black-haired person who had been promoted to eight levels in a row. How to convince people?

However, Tong Guan's words made Zhao Ji a little embarrassed. After all, Zhao Ji did this. Zhao Ji only heard Zhao Ji say: "Tong Guan, you will naturally be rewarded if you have merits. Wang Qing said it is not unreasonable. Zheng Zhi is too young and will naturally not forget his merits, but he cannot be promoted twice in a short time. He will write down it first and then reward him after giving merits."

Zhao Ji's words clearly expressed his attitude towards Tong Guan and Wang Fu. Most of the names of Tong Guan are called by his name directly, and Wang Fu is called Wang Qing. It is not that Wang Fu has a higher status in Zhao Ji's heart.

But there are fundamental differences in the identities of the two. The eunuchs, the emperor's private slaves, are the kind of private slaves who can beat and punish them whenever they say they want. Tong Guan's ability to gain such authority now depends entirely on such an eunuch's identity.

To put it bluntly, Tong Guan is Zhao Ji's personal property, which is also the basic reason why Zhao Ji favors eunuchs. Who is Wang Fu? Wang Fu was the leader of the literati and official in the dynasty and the representative of the literati and official in the world. In the Song Dynasty, when sharing the world with the literati and official in a certain sense, Wang Fu shared the world with Zhao Ji. Respecting Wang Fu is respecting the literati and official in the world.

As for whether the scholars and officials in the world are willing to be represented by Wang Fu, that is another matter.

Tong Guan listened to the words, lowered his head and said nothing, but felt great hatred in his heart. Zheng Zhi had no room for words, and the Song Dynasty had only modest people and no one wanted an official for him. At this time, he could only endure it silently.

After Tong Guan bowed his hand, he returned to his position and looked at Wang Fu with a sharp look. Wang Fu seemed to notice it, and turned around and looked at Tong Guan, but he was not guilty. Instead, he nodded with a smile on his face.

Perhaps Wang Fu thought that he had won the position of Taishi for Tong Guan and the title of Duke of Chu was already a favor to Tong Guan.

In the court, it seemed that with Tong Guan's sharp eyes, there was already a rush of undercurrents.

Li Shishi took Xiaochan in a carriage and headed straight to Tong Guan's mansion. He was mostly excited. Although the separation was not long and less than two months, Zheng Zhi went to fight and Li Shishi was even more worried every day. At this time, Zheng Zhi returned victoriously, which shows that Li Shishi was delighted.

When the carriage arrived in front of the door of Tong Guan's mansion, Xiaochan got off the carriage first and then helped Li Shishi get off.

The two walked into the mansion.

A voice suddenly came from behind: "Is Mr. Li in front of me?"

Li Shishi turned around and saw a Confucian scholar with a slightly black and yellow complexion, and there were several servants on the left and right. He was wearing an official uniform. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. Seeing this official uniform, he was embarrassed to neglect and asked, "I don't know which boyfriend is in person."

"Li, why don't you remember me? I am Xu Shida. I still remember that I passed the Jinshi and often talked to you in the Alum Tower." This person turned out to be Xu Shida.

It was the person who had just passed the Jinshi and wanted to be happy with Li Shishi and could not get along with Zheng Zhi in front of Li Shishi, and was also the person who was inspired by Zheng Zhi to work in Lingzhou City, northwest.

Li Shishi had already remembered that Xu Shida's changes were really big. His face was dusty, his face no longer returned to its original whiteness, but instead a little black and yellow, which shows how difficult the wind and sand in the northwest is.

"It turns out to be Mr. Xu. I haven't seen each other for two or three years. Is everything okay?" Li Shishi said politely.

When Xu Shida saw that Li Shishi recognized him, he immediately smiled happily and said, "Everything is fine, I wonder if everyone will be fine recently?"

Seeing Xu Shida's face was dusty and wearing an official uniform, Li Shishi guessed that he might have just entered the capital, so he said, "It's really hard for the young master to be an official in the border area. If Mr. Zhou knew that you were back, he would definitely be happy. I still have important things today, so I will talk about it later."

Li Shishi was thinking that Zheng Zhi was going to come back, so she had to go back and dress up quickly and wait for Zheng Zhi. So she didn't want to talk to a man at this door, so she wanted to leave after being polite for a few minutes.

Xu Shida didn't think much about it. When he heard Li Shishi praise him, his heart felt like honey. He was so angry that he invited him to the northwest border to be an official, wasn't it just for the person in front of him? He asked quickly: "All of you are here in front of the door of Tong Taiwei's mansion, don't you know what's wrong?"

Li Shishi's figure had turned halfway, and was embarrassed to go in just like that, and replied: "My husband returned triumphantly today. I have been living in the Taiwei Mansion and am about to go back and wait for my husband to return. If Mr. Xu has important things, go and do it first, and meet again if you are destined to do it."

Xu Shida had just entered the northwest to Bianliang. He had just entered the inner city of Bianliang, but he accidentally met Li Shishi. He didn't think much about it. When he heard Li Shishi's words, a Zheng Zhi immediately popped up in his mind. He answered: "Li is a rare talented woman in the world. She didn't want to marry into the butcher's door. What a pity..."

Xu Shida was only halfway through his voice, and he had already angered Li Shishi. Li Shishi said angrily: "Young master respects himself, how can a scholar speak like this? Say goodbye."

After saying that, Li Shishi turned around and left, how could anyone bear to say that to his husband?

Xu Shida's words were not unintentional. However, he was self-righteous and judged others by himself. After working in the Northwest for several years, although he had heard about Zheng Zhi's legend, he knew Zheng Zhi's background very well, and even went to the top scholar bridge where Zheng Zhi sold meat. He only thought that Li Shishi was forced to marry Zheng Zhi, and was even more humiliated. He wanted to make a few words to make excuses, but he didn't want to anger Li Shishi in one sentence.

Xu Shida saw Li Shishi turning around in anger, and hurriedly stepped forward and chased after a few steps, saying, "My Li, I have no restraint. I hope I will understand what I offend."

Li Shishi was not willing to pay attention to it, so he went straight into the mansion. Xu Shida wanted to explain a few words and comfort Li Shishi's humiliation, but two gatekeepers came forward to block it.

Xu Shida was blocked by two soldiers, and saw Li Shishi walking straight into the door and said angrily: "How dare you stop me?"

When a military man heard the words, he also said angrily: "Where did you come from? You don't see where you are. If you dare to act wildly, you will be beaten up."

The military man made a move to fight, and he really scared Xu Shida to take two steps back. He couldn't remember where this was, so he had to turn around in disappointment. After walking a few steps, he looked back and kept murmuring: "Eunuchs can gain power, but they were humiliated after studying hard for ten years. This is unreasonable."

Xu Shida scolded him while walking, but he couldn't feel happy. Especially Zheng Zhi, a man who flattered and pleased the eunuch, became more angry the more he thought about it.

Why did Xu Shida arrive in Tokyo? That is, Zhe Keqiu received information that Xixia was preparing for war and was about to send someone to report to Tokyo. This job was asked by Xu Shida. Ming Dynasty, Xu Shida said that he would take this opportunity to go back to his hometown to see it. In fact, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to enter Beijing and clear it around and wanted to transfer it back to Tokyo.

The northwest land is too barren and too difficult. The land of Lingzhou is even on the edge of the desert. Xu Shida waited for such an opportunity to return to Beijing for a long time.
