Liu Liangyong has passed his sixtieth birthday, and he is an important minister of the two dynasties. As a first-rank Taibao, although he is not very involved in the affairs of the court because of his health, but when he goes out, whoever sees him bends over and shouts respectfully "Hello, Mr. Tai Bao"?

Even today's Saint Qin Houde is also his student, taught by him until adulthood.Over the years, whenever Liu Liangyong raised his opinions, he would always listen carefully, even if he might not follow through, at least his attitude was sufficient.

How many years has it been since no one said the three words "I don't agree" in front of him so loudly?

Liu Liangyong looked at Xie Zhao who met his eyes, and couldn't help but get angry.

He sneered: "As expected, he is Xie Yan's son. This disrespectful personality is exactly like him."

Seeing that Xie Zhao went straight to the fight with Liu Liangyong, Qin Houde still had some headaches: he had a deep understanding of Liu Liangyong's cumbersome stubbornness; he also had a certain understanding of Xie Zhao's naughty stubbornness.When these two get together, one old and one young really want to argue, no matter who has the upper hand, Qin Houde will try to comfort the other.

He just wanted to persuade Xie Zhao to take a step back for a while, but suddenly he heard that Liu Liangyong brought up Xie Yan, who had passed away, and was immediately unhappy: Xie Yan was also a student of Liu Liangyong. Why do you need to talk about this single seedling?

Qin Houde was quite dissatisfied with this.

It's just that Liu Liangyong has been dedicated to serving the country these years. He likes to talk fast, but he really hasn't done anything harmful. He is still conscientious at his age, so Qin Houde himself can't reprimand him.

He leaned back, simply watched from the sidelines, and began to hope that Xie Zhao could help him slightly dampen Liu Liangyong's spirit.

Taibao has grown older these years, and his thinking has become more stubborn and corrupt.

Qin Houde thought, it is indeed time for him to get in touch with young people more.

Chen Fu watched the Taibao confront Xie Zhao from the sidelines, couldn't help shaking, moved back silently, and tried to reduce his sense of existence: When gods fight, it's better not to be hurt by Chiyu.

Liu Liangyong was not an idiot, so he naturally realized that Qin Houde's current silence was connivance to Xie Zhao.

It is because the Holy Majesty is so favoritious that Xie Zhao is so lawless!

Liu Liangyong felt resentful in his heart, and made up his mind to teach Xie Zhao a good lesson today, teaching him some principles of being an official.He snorted heavily, looked at Xie Zhao coldly, and said sarcastically, "Since that's the case, I want to hear how Mr. Xie is so disobedient!"

The Taibao was pressing and aggressive at every step. Xie Zhao originally wanted to endure it for a while and calm down. After all, although the Taibao spoke fiercely, at least he had a good intention.

It's just that everyone has their own bottom line, and when this bottom line is touched, no matter how docile a cat is, it will show its paws.

The Taibao used Xie Yan as an excuse, but now Xie Zhao couldn't stand it anymore.

He straightened his back and asked Liu Liangyong in a clear voice: "Xie Zhao has the courage to ask the Taibao a question. Dare to ask you and I, as officials in the court, what is the plan? Is it for the high official's salary and the carefree clothes, or for the admiration of the world and the praise of the world?"

"neither."

Liu Liangyong glanced at Xie Zhao contemptuously: "As a courtier, it is natural to relieve His Majesty's worries, assist His Majesty in governing the country, and let the people live a prosperous and prosperous life—what you said is not a qualified courtier at all. what should be pursued.”

Xie Zhao ignored his sarcasm, and continued: "In this case, as long as you work diligently for the Holy Majesty and the people with this belief, does it matter what clothes you wear and whether you hold the wat board? The Majesty took off his clothes. The dragon robe, is it possible that it will lose its prestige? Why does the Taifu hold on to these forms of things?"

He paused, his tone softened, "What's more, as far as Xie Zhao knows, the Taibao has not been in court for a long time due to poor health in recent years. But although you are recuperating at home, you still have the Holy One and the people of the world in your heart, so every day Every year, I have to come to Chengyuan to urge the Holy Majesty to handle political affairs. According to your statement, is it possible that because you do not go to court, other people will say that you are in your position but not fulfilling your responsibilities?"

This man is so courageous!How dare you talk about the Holy Majesty with yourself!

Liu Liangyong was furious and criticized him severely: "Nonsense, full of nonsense! You even used the Holy Spirit and me as examples to justify your own mistakes!"

Seeing that he was being used as an excuse by Xie Zhao, but the Holy Majesty remained silent, Liu Liangyong once again deeply understood the Holy Majesty's love for Xie Zhao.

He took a deep breath and managed to regain his senses, "You don't have to go so far with me, what I want to tell you now is not the common people in the world, but that you don't understand etiquette, and you don't wear official uniforms when you see the Holy Majesty."

Taibao only grasped this point, and Xie Zhao couldn't do anything about it.

He said honestly: "But the Taibao, we are now in Chengyuan's summer resort, not the majestic palace. Wearing ordinary clothes to see the Holy Majesty is also the permission of the Holy Majesty to the accompanying officials."

The implication is that the Holy Majesty has agreed, what do you object to?

Liu Liangyong heard what he didn't say, and said coldly: "Your Majesty's sympathy is taken for granted by Sir Xie. As a subject, Sir Xie should be grateful for His Majesty's grace, but at the same time, he must be strict with himself. Wear official uniforms To meet the Holy Majesty, this is the duty that officials should abide by."

Xie Zhao didn't expect Master Taibao to be so ignorant, he couldn't help being speechless.

He sighed, and suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Xie Zhao heard that Mr. Liu had been recuperating for several days due to heatstroke when he first arrived in Chengyuan?"

Liu Liangyong didn't know what he was going to say again, so he nodded vigilantly: "...There is such a thing."

Xie Zhao asked: "How did the imperial physician make the diagnosis? What was the cause of the imperial physician's heat stroke?"

Liu Liangyong finally realized the intention of his questioning, and couldn't help taking a step back, his eyes widened slightly.

Seeing his reaction, Xie Zhao became even more certain about his guess.

He calmly said, "Isn't it because the Taibao was wearing heavy official uniforms, so he had to travel for five days in the hot summer and was bored with heat stroke?"

Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

Liu Liangyong frowned and remained silent.

Xie Zhao continued: "This day is the hottest time of the year. Although the official uniform is solemn, it is stuffy and airtight. You also said, the Taibao, that the first priority of my ministers is to relieve the worries of the Holy One. , but if we suffer from heatstroke due to official uniforms, who will share our worries for the Holy One?"

He smiled slightly, and looked at Liu Liangyong with clear eyes: "A smart person like Taibao must be more aware than Xie Zhao, how bad it is to pick sesame seeds and lose watermelon."

——This Xie Zhao!

Liu Liangyong blushed, "Then it's an indisputable fact that you drank with other officials until late at night." He blew on his beard and stared at his eyes, "You are a censor, and you don't picket officials, but you still drink and chat with them. Is this behavior still acceptable? Can't we call it collusion?"

"Together?"

Xie Zhao frowned, "Dare to ask the Taibao, what kind of relationship is Xie Zhao with them? What kind of filth is he associated with? Xie Zhao does not admit to this crime."

He retorted: "If the Taibao thinks that Xie Zhao, as the censor, can only be alone and cannot participate in any banquet, then Xie Zhao is indeed negligent."

Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, Liu Liangyong finally couldn't help shouting angrily: "Xie Zhao, you, a sixth-rank censor, dare to talk to me like this!"

He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down a few times, "It's really distorting the facts and talking nonsense!"

Master Taibao has been going smoothly for so many years, but this is the first time he has been so angry by a junior.

Chen Fu watched from the side, and couldn't help but sweat for Xie Zhao: After all, the Taibao Lord is a high-ranking and powerful man, and he is still the gentleman of the Holy One. If Xie Zhao really offends the Taibao to the end, he will have to suffer some hardships.

Facing the furious Liu Liangyong, Xie Zhao was not afraid.

He frowned, and muttered: "You are going to convict Xie Zhao, why don't you allow Xie Zhao to defend yourself...More What the censor should do. Is Mr. He wrong?"

At the same moment, He Fang, who was rushing to the county government with his servants, couldn't help but sneezed loudly: "Ah-"

He looked up at the sunny day, waved his hands at the concerned servant, rubbed his nose, and said to himself: "This sunny day, why did you suddenly sneeze? Who is talking about me?"

Of course he didn't know that it was Xie Zhao who was talking about him.

In the study, Master Taibao was speechless for the first time by a little censor.

His face was blue and red, red and purple, really colorful: "You...you..."

You stayed for a long time and couldn't say anything.

Although Liu Liangyong is a bit pedantic and stubborn, he is still sensible after all.Although he was angry at this time, he also knew that He Fang's teaching to Xie Zhao was correct.

If a censor does not have the courage to impeach a higher-level official, then he must not be a qualified censor.The censor has always been an indispensable position in the imperial court, the position that offends people the most and also requires the most courage. It is undoubtedly the fortune of the court and Dayu to have a censor who dares to refute the emperor and important ministers.

Of course He Fang's prestigious Taibao has been heard of before.

This person dared to speak directly to the Holy Majesty, this kind of courage and courage really made Liu Liangyong secretly admire him.Compared with Dou Shun whose impeachment method is too mild, the retired Taibao obviously appreciates He Fang's desperate impeachment method more.

After all, in the imperial court, smart people abound, and sometimes a "stupid" person like He Fang is rare.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Liangyong looked at Xie Zhao who seemed to have received He Fang's true biography, and didn't want to admit that he was not so angry anymore.

He reluctantly thought: It really is the seed of the Xie family.

After all, the Taibao was a man of his age, so it was natural for him to look a little ugly when he was refuted by someone like Xie Zhao.

Although he didn't want to chase Xie Zhao any longer, it was absolutely impossible for him to bow his head and admit his mistake.

Qin Houde had watched enough of the drama from the sidelines, and now he finally showed his kindness and stepped forward to let the Taibao down the ladder.

He coughed, and said to Xie Zhao: "It seems that He Fang has passed on all his courage to you." After teasing, he winked at Xie Zhao, "This time the Taibao impeached you, in essence, he hoped that you would Good. Xie Zhao, you must not miss the kindness of the Taibao."

Xie Zhao understood, and humbly apologized to the Taibao: "Xie Zhao's words may have been fierce today, and I hope the Taibao will be lenient and not be as knowledgeable as Xie Zhao."

He said sincerely: "The Taibao loves Xie Zhao deeply and is responsible. Of course Xie Zhao knows. If Xie Zhao makes a mistake in the future, please ask the Taibao to point it out and give Xie Zhao a chance to improve."

Xie Zhao was born well, his eyes were clear, pure and translucent.

A person with such eyes should not be a bad person.What's more, if you think about it carefully, what he said is not unreasonable. Perhaps it is right to be an official in the court and know how to be flexible.

Thinking of this, Liu Liangyong cleared his throat, his eyes wandering: "Mmm... Mmm, as long as Mr. Xie doesn't misunderstand my intentions." His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, "That old guy Xie Hui has raised a good one. grandson……"

Xie Zhao took a step closer and asked curiously, "What did you say? Sorry, I didn't hear clearly."

It's okay if you can't hear clearly!Could it be that he was expected to say good things a second time?

Liu Liangyong was furious, and replied in a stiff voice: "I didn't say anything."

After speaking, he bowed to Qin Houde to salute, and strode away after getting the answer.His pace was as fast as the floor was hot, and his feet could not stay for a moment longer.

In the study, Xie Zhao and Qin Houde looked at Taibao's back and couldn't help laughing out loud.

What the Taibao didn't know was that even Chen Fu, who was three meters away, could clearly hear his praise in a low voice, let alone Xie Zhao, who was only a few steps away from him.

The compliment he thought no one heard was actually heard by everyone.
