Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Xie Shiyan and Jiang Chunnian, dressed in casual clothes, hesitated for a while at the gate of the Su Mansion, and finally bit the bullet and knocked on the door.

Su Xiaobei opened the door: "What can you do?"

Xie Shiyan said with a smile: "I have come to invite Mr. Su Ge by order."

Su Xiaobei looked at them intentionally: "Who are you two? You look like a white man, and you'd be ashamed to find our lord, so it's still an order!" Then he closed the door with a "bang".

Jiang Chunnian's face turned red with anger.And once Xie Shiyan was in adversity, he took out the good temper of the old man in the mud pavilion, and comforted him: "Let's go back and change into official uniforms before coming back."

"Isn't this forcing you and me to lose face?" Jiang Chunnian said, looking around, as if he was afraid of being seen through.

Xie Shiyan sighed: "The imperial decree is hard to disobey, if you really want to lose face, just grit your teeth and throw it away once."

The two went back and changed into their official uniforms, and knocked on the gate of Su Mansion again.

Su Xiaobei opened the door and looked up and down: "It turns out that it is Mr. Xie Ge and Mr. Jiang Ge. What are the two of you doing looking for my lord?"

Xie Shiyan continued to make an apology: "The two of us have come to invite Mr. Su Ge to the imperial court according to the imperial decree, and I hope that my younger brother will be accommodating and report it."

Su Xiaobei also smiled and said: "So that's the matter. The two adults are waiting outside the door, and I will report it now."

This "wait a moment" lasted for an entire hour. During this period, Jiang Chunnian couldn't help but want to push the door in, but was stared at by the plainclothes guards on both sides of the door, and immediately shrank back.

When it was dark, Su Xiaobei came late, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my lord, I wanted to lead the order back to the court, but unfortunately I twisted my foot in excitement, and I can't walk now, I need to ask A bone-setting doctor can handle it carefully. Please go back, my lords, we will discuss this matter tomorrow."

The door slammed shut again.

This time even Xie Shiyan was so angry that his long beard trembled wildly, and he said angrily: "Zhuzi bullies people too much, it's extremely hateful!"

The steward who accompanied him defended the injustice of his master: "Since the other party is so ignorant of flattery, the master doesn't need to talk to me anymore, let's go back home."

Both of them walked away full of anger.

Su Xiaobei left the concierge, walked quickly into the flower hall next to the main house, and reported to the master: "Those two old cabbage clappers have left, their faces are distorted with anger!"

The so-called master of the Su family who "twisted his feet and can't walk", was holding a long-necked wine jug, pouring a glass of wine for the two concubines who were sitting on the left and right, and said proudly, "Drink! Don't get drunk tonight Not return!"

Seeing this posture, Su Xiaobei murmured, "I'm not going home when I'm drunk! My lord did it himself." He picked up two plates of stewed vegetables wisely, and went to the kitchen to find scones to eat.

"My lord, drink less alcohol, be careful."

"Hey—little baby!" Master Su responded with his beloved cold-faced concubine in his arms, "Don't call me an 'adult'. I told you that I am no longer an 'adult', so I have to call you a master! Or... High officials can also..."

The angry outer room put down the wine glass and was about to get up.Master Su quickly wrapped his other arm around him again: "You little lady, you hit this high official on the head with a fork, and you still want to leave?"

Shen Qi's face darkened faintly: "Did Zhu Helin pull you to read some messy book again!"

Master Su, who was half drunk, laughed, and handed over the empty wine glass: "Sister-in-law is not going to feed me half a glass of residual wine, where is the wine?"

With a sullen face, Shen Qi suddenly smiled and went to grab the flagon.A peanut bounced off the body of the jug, shaking Shen Qi's hand away, Jing Hong chased after him, "My lord has drunk too much." Shen Qi slapped the table with her palm, the jug jumped two feet high, and then used the other hand Go fishing: "It's so easy to unload the burden and relax for a few days, let him drink to his heart's content."

The energy of the two clashed in mid-air, but Su Yan hiccupped and slid under the chair, still muttering: "It's too difficult to be a high-ranking official, and the backyard catches fire every now and then... What about the script?" ? What about my script?"

Master Su changed countless scripts in his drunken dream and slept until the next afternoon before waking up.

When Su Xiaobei came in to wash him with water, he said: "The two cabbage bangs... the two elders came again, and squatted outside the door for a while, saying that if you don't come out, you will set the house on fire."

"They dare!" Su Yan said while spitting toothpaste water, "It was agreed at the court meeting that if they lost, they would come to support the sedan chair pole for me. Do you want to play tricks? Don't bother, just keep hanging."

Su Xiaobei was a little worried: "They said they came here by order... Will my lord resist the order by taking Joe like this?"

Su Yan chuckled: "Didn't you hear what Qilang said? The Holy Master said, 'Visit the thatched cottage three times'. This is only the second time. Don't worry. Let them go outside the door in a hurry."

In the evening, Xie and Jiang completely surrendered, ordered someone to carry a green woolen official sedan chair, and brought many gifts with them, and urged Su Yan to go out again.

Su Xiaobei got the instruction, went out and replied: "The two elders are not sincere. There is no ceremonial guard of honor with the sound of gongs in front of this sedan chair, and there are no retinues on horseback with swords in the back. What kind of official sedan chair is it?"

The two were so angry that they were about to grit their teeth.Xie Shiyan said angrily: "Once this ostentation is set up, the whole city will come to see our excitement!"

Jiang Chunnian slammed the gift box on the ground: "Ben, I don't feel that anger, go back!"

Xie Shiyan watched him leave with a sneer.Sure enough, Jiang Chunnian turned back after walking more than ten feet, and sighed helplessly: "The emperor said, said, please don't move this Buddha, and we, don't go back to the cabinet... This should, what should be done..."

It took another half a night to fetch a whole set of ceremonial guards and troops.

"Quan, Quanqi is alive, now there is nothing to say!" Jiang Chunnian felt that his fingers were about to knock on the door.

Su Xiaobei yawned and opened the door: "Two elders, please take a look at the weather, it's almost three o'clock! What kind of sedan chair are you sitting in in the middle of the night? Come back tomorrow morning."

Not to mention how Xie and Jiang cursed unbearably that night, and worried that Su Yan would change his mind after dawn, so they placed the official sedan chair and the entire guard of honor in front of the Su residence early in the morning.

Let's just say that Su Yan kept his word this time, wearing a crane cloak with big sleeves in front of the wind, and a small silver crown with lotus flowers on his head, he meandered out of the door like a fairy who descended from the earth.

They used the guard of honor provided by the other party, but did not use the forgiving green woolen official sedan chair, but brought a walking chariot with an umbrella on the top and open on all sides.Master Su, who is good at pretending, sat in the middle, fluttering like a person in the world, he is really a fairy.

He tapped the front pole of the chariot with the whisk in his hand, and smirked at Xie and Jiang, "Thank you."

Xie Shiyan and Jiang Chunnian stepped forward, swallowing their anger, and stretched out their hands weakly to set up a pole, and ordered the guard of honor to leave as early as the Meridian Gate.

At Su Yan's request, the guard of honor blared gongs all the way to clear the way, attracting half of the people in the capital to watch and talk beside the road.

"Get out of the way, let me see, what's going on?"

"Which high-ranking official is going on tour? There is a real lineup."

"Look at the person in the sedan chair, who is not wearing an official uniform?"

"The two elders holding the chair pole are wearing official uniforms. Let me see... Oh, Peacock Buzi, third-rank officials!"

"Brother Wang, you are really ignorant. You don't even know Elder Xie Ge and Elder Jiang Ge?"

"What? Whose sedan chair is worthy of the support of two elders in person! Could it be Tianhuang nobleman?"

"If you say you are ignorant, you really are ignorant. Sitting on the chariot is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the scholar of the Wenhua Palace, Mr. Su, the second assistant of the cabinet, and the first-class celebrity in front of the imperial court. I heard that, thank you, Jiang and the elders helped him with his sedan chair because he lost a bet!"

"What kind of bet? I think you are ignorant, and you are still talking about him. Let me tell you, it is because Mr. Xie Ge and Mr. Jiang Ge jointly impeached Mr. Su Ge. As a result, the Holy One found out the truth—false accusation! No, punish them both Carry the sedan chair for Mr. Suge and make amends."

"What kind of false accusation law, tell me quickly!"

"The specifics are me too... Anyway, the Changyuan victory announced by the government two days ago, have you heard? General Qi recommended by Mr. Su Ge cut off the head of the bandit leader of the rebellion, and he won a complete victory! Thank you The elders of Ge and Jiang were jealous, and they lied about the military situation, saying that they had lost the battle. No, it was exposed, and they were supposed to be dismissed according to the crime, but Elder Su was tolerant and interceded for them. In order to express their apology, the two of them Take the initiative to help old Suge's sedan chair."

"So it is!"

"I didn't expect that the dignitaries in this cabinet, just like we have several wine shops side by side on the same street, are trying to grab business from each other."

"If it's Boss Su Ge's generosity, it can be forgiven. How about that sentence, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach. If it were me, I wouldn't take the opportunity to crush them to death!"

The crowded crowd was humming, Xie Shiyan and Jiang Chunnian walked with their heads bowed, turning a deaf ear to Quan Zuo, but those few words drifted to their ears, and each word was like a knife sharply scratching their faces, making them extremely embarrassed.

But there are still urchins clapping their hands and singing a now-made jingle: "The front gong rings, the back fan opens, the old sedan chair is lifted, one old sedan chair sits on it, and the old old sedan chair is carried by two old people."

Xie Shiyan and Jiang Chunnian were so ashamed that they wished they could open a crack in the ground and get in.

After passing the Chengtian Gate with great difficulty, and seeing the Meridian Gate in front of him, Su Yan who was on the chariot suddenly ordered: "Get off the sedan chair."

Xie Shiyan and Jiang Chunnian breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off their sweat, and thought that they had survived.Hurry up and send Su Twelve, a rascal, back to Wenyuan Pavilion, and settle this matter first, as for the future... It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Su Yan got off the chariot, nodded kindly to the guard of honor, and said, "Little brothers, you have worked hard, let's call it a day and go back to the Yamen." With a flick of his tail, he turned his feet and went to the Taimiao on the right.

Xie Shiyan was taken aback, and stepped forward to stop him: "Where is Su Shilang going? The emperor is still waiting for your reinstatement at Wenyuan Pavilion."

Su Yan looked surprised: "Reinstatement? When did I say I was going to be reinstated? Didn't I say so before I left, just send me to the Meridian Gate. I will walk the rest of the way by myself, so I won't bother you two adults."

If you don't return to the cabinet, you won't be reinstated?Then how can they return to the emperor? Is this matter going to end? !

Jiang Chunnian blushed, his neck was thick, and he stood there gasping for breath.Xie Shiyan's face was also extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Su Shilang! Be a man and stay on the sidelines so that we can meet each other in the future... Isn't this your motto?"

Su Yan smiled: "Of course. So I left a few threads for the two of you, here—" He casually picked up a few stag tails from the whisk and put them on Xie Shiyan's palm, "Take this and report to the emperor Bar!"

Xie Shiyan grabbed a few of the stag's tail hairs, her fingers kept trembling, and she suddenly leaned back.The servants who accompanied him came up to help him in shock: "Master! What's the matter... No, master has passed!"

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhu Helin held a few stag tails and looked around at the light.

Fu Bao who was next to him said with a smile: "Master Su dressed up like a fairy, went to the Taimiao, opened the sealed golden box in public, and found a 'wordless book' wrapped in yellow silk! I was stunned, since the jade document disappeared, and the hall was heavily guarded by soldiers, how could the heavenly book be born out of thin air in this golden chamber?

"Master Su told the Minister of Rites and the historian in charge of compiling that Emperor Ziwei entrusted him with a dream, saying that he had temporarily borrowed the Tianhuang Jade Document to see which emperor and clan's meritorious deeds had been completed, and he would have a chance to be among the immortals in the future. I specially left a volume of heavenly scriptures as evidence, and when the heavenly scriptures disappear from the world and return to the heavens, the jade will be returned."

Zhu Helin let out a "puchi", couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

He could almost imagine the faces of the historians and ministers of the Ministry of Rites at that time, knowing that there was something tricky behind it, but it was hard to criticize and expose it - the dream was so mysterious, who dared to say that he could prove it was fake?Besides, the reason why the jade document was borrowed was that the heavens wanted to examine the merits and virtues. If they refuted it, it means that the emperor and the clan are not worthy to become immortals in the future?

In the future, when they took back the jade slip from Mr. He and the players, and then quietly put it back in the golden chamber, it would mean that they were returned by the heavens.

"My Qinghe, it's really...hahaha..." Zhu Helin blew the tail of the stag away in one breath, got up and said, "Get up and go to the imperial study!"

On the table in the imperial study room, there are piles of memorials.In the past few days, Su Yan has put down picks, Xie Shiyan and Jiang Chunnian are worried about how to clean up the mess, Yu Chezhi is on his way back to the court, and there is only one Yang Ting left in the cabinet, and he is too busy to finish the first reading and drafting of so many memorials .Zhu Helin simply asked him to prioritize first, and send the urgent ones directly to the Imperial Study Room for approval.

The emperor was going to fight at night and finish approving these memorials, so he ordered Fu Bao to go to the Su Mansion to ask Su Yan if he was relieved, and urged him to come and help with work; he also ordered Cheng Sheng to prepare refreshment tea, and then Stand guard outside the hall, blocking irrelevant personnel and affairs.

The night outside the window is getting darker, and the glazed palace lanterns on the wall and table are very bright, reflecting the bright red brush strokes on the paper.

The sound of footsteps approaching from far could be heard outside the imperial study room, followed by a low voice.After a while, the palace door opened, Cheng Sheng trotted in all the way, and said: "Your Majesty, the commander of the imperial guards, Mr. Wei, has something urgent to see you."

"Xuan."

Wearing soft armor, Wei Liangzi strode into the hall and saluted, "Your Majesty, I just received a secret report——"

Zhu Helin frowned, and waved for Cheng Sheng to leave.

Wei Liangzi took a few steps forward, and whispered in his ear: "A Jin Yiwei spy said that because he saw Shen Qi colluding with the traitor who stole the jade document, he silenced him and buried him on the spot. Fortunately, this person faked his death at the time. Crawled out of the soil and hid for several days before finding the minister and secretly reporting the matter."

Zhu Helin was startled, and the cinnabar pen fell from between his fingers.
