    Chapter 181 Meeting

    "Back when His Majesty ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he published official papers to the world, recruited talented people in the court, and appointed literati as officials, and all the efforts were made. However, the powerful officials were in power and brought trouble to the court. We can only do this in depression. It is really sad.!”

    A drunken scholar said angrily and slapped the fence: "Du Lingchun was punished endlessly for a trivial offense. How many capable ministers were innocently victimized, cut in half and thrown into the river, imprisoned and serving in the party, and even Pei Gong was demoted to Fuzhou, soDisaster, if you stay for one more day, it will be a disaster for me!"

    Pei Gong was a veteran of the dynasty and was ordered to go to the south to control floods. However, he could not bear to see the people suffer and let the victims into the city privately. He was joined by Du Lingchun's party and was demoted to Mzhou.

    When he was young, he presided over the imperial examinations and promoted the world's students. All literati regarded him as their teacher.It is conceivable that Du Lingchun and his party stirred up a hornet's nest.

    This incident caused quite a commotion, and even Gongsun Zhuoyu had heard about it in his previous life.But protesting loudly in the Juxian Pavilion in front of everyone, I have to say that it is a bit frivolous and too unafraid of death.

    Furthermore, Gongsun Zhuoyu felt uncomfortable hearing that they were talking about one eunuch at a time.

    "Your words are wrong. Pei Gong was demoted because he released disaster victims privately. What does it have to do with Du Si Gong?"

    Everyone heard a clear male voice suddenly ringing in their ears, and subconsciously followed the sound.But I saw a young man in white shirt sitting below, slowly shaking a paper fan, looking at him with a good character, but his words were not very pleasing.

    Someone asked coldly: "Are you not Du Lingchun's lackey?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu took a sip of tea and said, "No, I'm just discussing the matter."

    The scholar who just made an angry rebuke walked directly to the railing: "Pei Gong allowed the victims to enter the city for the sake of the people and the world! If it weren't for the members of the Du Party and others who made slanderous remarks to His Majesty, how could he be demoted thousands of miles away?!"

    As soon as these words came out, the crowd became excited, and even the guests eating in the restaurant looked over.After all, everyone sympathizes with the weak.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu said calmly: "Your Majesty never issued an order to let the victims into the city. Although Pei Gong had good intentions, he made the decision privately. The country must not be lawless. Even if you are demoted to three thousand miles, it is still determined by the law."

    The scholar looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu as if he were looking at shit: "Is it possible to just watch the victims starve to death and ignore it?!"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu simply stood up from his position and shook his sleeves: "Brother, what you said is wrong. You only know that the victims are hungry and cold. Have you ever thought about the consequences of letting the victims enter the city?"

    After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party's answer, he said: "There is no way for those disaster victims. If they are put into the city, they can easily get mixed up with people with bad intentions. Besides, they are all old and weak, women and children. If they are infected with the epidemic, wouldn't it harm the people of the county if they enter the city?"? If you are willing to ask Mr. Pei, you will know that after he put the victims into the city, all 16 grain stores in the county were robbed by them, what a mess."

    When refugees are out of control and flood in in large numbers, the city's crime rate will skyrocket.It is impossible to feed the people of two counties with the food of one county. If the bottom line is exceeded, it will inevitably collapse in an instant.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu looked at the problem from a very tricky angle. As soon as he said this, those people were choked speechless and looked at each other.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu talked eloquently in the hall: "Pei Gong's move is already wrong. Since it is wrong, he should be punished. Since he is demoted to Mzhou, he deserves it. I heard that all the gentlemen are excited, regardless of the reason.I blame others, but I really can’t help but speak out for justice, so I hope I won’t be blamed.”

    The scholar was so embarrassed that he stood by the railing and looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu. He found that he had never seen Gongsun Zhuoyu in the capital before, so he expected that he was not a powerful person. He said coldly: "No matter how wrong Gongsun Pei is, his original intention is always the same."Okay, it should be a fact that Du Lingchun eunuchs the party to disrupt the government, eliminates dissidents in the court, makes money wantonly, and oppresses scholars like us. Your Excellency should not be indifferent to right from wrong!"

    After hearing this, everyone around them nodded secretly.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu thought to himself that the officialdom was already turbid. Who could blame you for not being able to fight yourself? He raised his eyes and looked at the man: "Oh, why don't you tell your Majesty? Your Majesty will definitely punish Du Dang."

    The scholar wanted to say that the emperor would not listen at all, but he could not say that the emperor was unsage. He waved his sleeves bitterly: "I have no official status!"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled: "It turns out that you don't even have an official status. Doesn't that mean you haven't even passed the provincial examination, and you don't know what practical things you have done for the people. You are just talking nonsense here. If you are really brave, why don't you go to the gate of the imperial city?Either die, or go to the door of Du Lingchun's company house and say the exact words again, I admire you quite a bit."

    After he finished speaking, he pointed at the scholar with his fan and said: "Sima Qian wrote the "Historical Records", Cai Lun invented papermaking, Yang Sixu pacified the barbarians in the southwest, Tong Guan Jingluo Youyan, even Du Si Gong risked his life to protect His Majesty.Your Excellency, you are here to curse all the eunuchs, and you are afraid that you are not even as good as the eunuchs, how ridiculous!"

    It was only at this point that Gongsun Zhuoyu really revealed his cleverness. Stabbing someone in a sore spot was tantamount to two loud slaps in the face in public.

    The scholar was so angry that his hands were shaking and he couldn't speak for a long time.Without him, Gongsun Zhuoyu told the truth.High-ranking officials admire people of insight, and those who speak out boldly will always make them think more highly of them. Scholars talk here just to attract their attention and climb to the top.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu scratched them all, and the anger from being stepped on by the waiter finally dissipated.He looked sideways at the table and saw that Shi Qianqiu had almost finished the food alone. He was about to leave. Who would have thought that there was suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps outside, and then a group of Xuanyi guards rushed in.The sword frightened everyone.

    If there is anyone in the capital who is the most feared, it must be the group of black-skinned mad dogs from the Capital City. They are all murderous masters, and no one who enters them comes out alive.

    The shopkeeper was startled and came out quickly, cupping his hands to the leader of the Xuanyi Guards and saying, "I wonder what the officer is here for?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was happy when he saw it. Isn't this man Wu Yue?

    Wu Yue always had an expressionless face and wore a token from the deputy envoy of Jinglu Division on his waist: "On the order of Du Si Gong, I am here to track down the court suspects."

    The shopkeeper panicked: "The shop is a serious place for business. There have never been any suspects. Besides...and my master...I hope Du Shigong can give me some thin noodles."

    Juxian Pavilion can be opened in the most prosperous place in the capital, allowing scholars to talk eloquently. The owner behind it naturally has some background. Unfortunately, Wu Yue did not buy it and said coldly: "Then let your master go to Du Shigong and tell me, give it to meSearch!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately blocked the front and back doors and checked the diners one by one.Wu Yue walked up to the second floor in a clear direction, targeting the scholar who just spoke: "A few days ago, important officials in the court were killed. Du Si Gong ordered a strict investigation of suspicious persons. Do you have any identity cards? Please hand them over for verification."check."

    In ancient times, a body sticker was equivalent to an ID card.

    The scholar had just spoken ill of Du Lingchun and felt guilty. He trembled and said: "Take it with me... take it with me..."

    He took out the ID card and handed it over, but Wu Yue only glanced at it: "If you are not a native of the capital, take it with you!"

    The scholar's face turned pale when he heard this, and he no longer had the aura of pointing out the country just now: "I, I, I... I am a scholar, how can I be a suspect in the court!"

    Xuanyi Wei ignored his words and directly dragged the person down from upstairs like a dog.Gongsun Zhuoyu covered his face with a fan and snickered heartlessly beside him.

    It's time for you to climb high branches and climb onto the mace!

    The scholar caught a glimpse of Gongsun Zhuoyu from the corner of his eye. For some reason, he suddenly struggled violently. He pointed at Gongsun Zhuoyu and said, "He is carrying a bag and acting sneaky. He must be a stranger. Official, if we talk about the suspect, he is the one."!”

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was stunned, why was this his business?Before he could think of a countermeasure, Wu Yue looked over, and at the same time, an emotionless voice sounded above his head: "Lord Gongsun."

    Wu Yue had seen him since he entered the restaurant.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu could only put down his fan, touched the tip of his nose, pointed at Wu Yue and said, "Aren't you that...that...Wu guard?"

    Wu Yue announced his name: "I am Wu Yue. Our company has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."

    The diners next to him looked at each other in shock when they saw this, secretly guessing that Gongsun Zhuoyu's identity could actually allow the first-class guards around Du Lingchun to treat him with extra courtesy.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was stunned: "How long will you wait?"

    Wu Yue said nothing.Du Lingchun's hands and eyes were all over the sky in the capital, and he knew everything about any disturbance. From the moment Gongsun Zhuoyu stepped into the capital, Du Lingchun knew everything about his every move.

    While Wu Yue ordered the Xuanyi guards to take the scholar away, he said concisely and concisely: "The carriage is outside, Sir Gongsun please."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu enjoyed the coaxing feeling. He coughed slightly and secretly gestured to Shi Qianqiu, telling him to pick up his things and follow him, and left Juxian Pavilion.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu is petty and hates being tricked.When he saw the scholar being taken away, he secretly picked up a stone and swung it out. It just hit the opponent's knee, and with a pop, the opponent fell to the ground.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his fan loudly and said three words proudly: "A drowned dog."

    The scholar showed resentment on his face and struggled hard: "If you have the guts, leave your name!"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu wanted to take revenge on him, but that wouldn't work. He didn't have the habit of making enemies for himself.He said loudly: "I am Jiangzhou Zhang Jiji. If you have the guts, come and deal with me!"

    #He has the habit of making enemies for others#

    Wu Yue glanced at him: "Lord Gongsun?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu reacted, coughed twice in embarrassment, and explained with a smile: "What about that? I also have a nickname called Jiji, Gongsun Jiji, and all my acquaintances call me that."

    After saying that, he climbed into the carriage in a panic.

    Wu Yue didn't say much, got on the carriage shaft, raised his whip and drove towards the company's mansion.

    The east side of the city is close to the imperial city, so the location is expensive and there are many bureaucratic mansions.The closer they are, the more favored they are by the emperor, and Du Lingchun's company mansion is the most spacious and majestic one among them.

    There is a birdcage hanging in front of the study door, with a talking parrot inside.Du Lingchun played with the feathers casually for a moment. From the corner of his eye, he saw the maid approaching and put down his hand: "Where is the person?"

    The maid took a step forward and replied respectfully: "Back to the company, the carriage has arrived outside the mansion, and Guard Wu is leading people this way."

    Du Lingchun said nothing when he heard this, waved his sleeves to signal her to leave, and then turned around and entered the study.He originally wanted to sit and wait, but after pacing around for a long time, he just couldn't calm down.

    The author has something to say: Company: Nervous.
