Chapter 471 What Your Majesty Does Not Want

The emperor was about to arrive in the East China Sea Kingdom, but the right censor Qu Zixi announced a day off. Unless the imperial edict came, no one was allowed to disturb him and rest.

At this time, the right censor of the East China Sea Kingdom was the highest official. No one dared to object to this, so he could only complain about it.

The emperor had to stay in the East China Kingdom for at least five days, and there were a lot of preparations. The former driver arrived three days in advance and put forward many opinions. Each one could make the East China Kingdom's government busy for a while from top to bottom. Qu Zixi, who was resting, seemed even more abrupt.

Wang Pingyang is from Linzi, not too far from the Donghai Kingdom. The Wang family found it by the Donghai Kingdom. He returned home in glory and received different treatments than other people. Wherever he went, there was always a large group of officials following him, and the Prime Minister Yan Kang was even more indifferent.

"Your Majesty is trying to be frugal. All these colored sheds are demolished, and these houses are also re-purposed? The shop signs are also newly replaced, right? Alas, you guys, I don't know what to say, it's so obvious that your Majesty can see the flaws at a glance. Change them all, and change them back to their original appearance."

Someone whispered to remind that there were less than three days left and that time might be too late.

"Brother, I know the difficulty, but what are the solutions? I want to save it lightly? It's easy. We don't do anything. When His Holiness comes, Long Yan is furious. Let's go home and farm together."

The official immediately apologized in panic, and Yan Kang swears to the sky that the streets could be restored to their old appearance within two days.

After the inspection, Wang Pingyang went to the Prime Minister's Office to attend a banquet. As soon as he entered the hall, he frowned, "What's wrong? I'm so frugal all the way. I'm thirsty, and you guys are still doing this?"

There were three tables in the hall, filled with delicacies and sea. Several beautiful women stood around, holding wine pots in their hands. When they saw the adults coming in, they immediately greeted each other in a coquettish voice.

Yan Kang smiled and said, "Mr. Wang said he should be frugal, this is frugality."

Wang Pingyang was stunned, "Has I left my hometown for too long? The frugality of Donghai Country is different from other places."

Yan Kang invited Wang Pingyang to the table. There were only three people at their table, and other officials squeezed tightly around the other two tables.

Yan Kang picked up the wine glass first, and Wang Pingyang also picked it up. Only a strange fragrance could be smelled. The maid behind him came to pour wine and smiled at him.

Wang Pingyang glanced at it and hurriedly blocked the mouth of the glass, "Mr. Yan, if you don't say it clearly, I dare not drink this wine."

Yan Kang smiled and said, "Mr. Wang doesn't know that these wines and dishes are local specialties in the Donghai Kingdom. They were originally intended to be used to receive His Majesty. We thought it was simple and thought it was not much money and was still frugal. Today, when Master Wang said it, I was enlightened and understood where I was wrong. But the things were ready, and no matter how little money was spent, it would be a waste. You can't just throw it away like this. Wouldn't that be even more waste?"

Wang Pingyang pondered for a moment, "So we are cleaning up the food that His Majesty doesn't eat?"

"That's true, Lord Wang, you have to forgive us and didn't prepare a table for you."

"It's okay, it's better, it's better to be frugal, you must practice frugality." Wang Pingyang moved his hand away, and the maid poured wine again, almost pressing it on the adults. Wang Pingyang was confused and didn't drink a sip of wine, and he was already drunk.

All the officials took turns to come forward to toast, climbing their fellow countrymen, and talking about friendship. They all hit it off at first sight. The two of them talked about it over and over again, and they were really distant relatives with Wang Pingyang.

Both the guest and the host were very happy. Yan Kang hinted that he wanted to give it to the emperor but had many things removed. If Lord Wang didn't dislike him, he could take them away.

Wang Pingyang didn't dislike it, and felt that along the way, officials from the East China Kingdom were the best at doing things, but he was also a little worried. He glanced at another person at the same table and whispered: "Is it okay?"

The Minister of War was named Zhang Qing. He came early and had already become friends with local officials. Yan Kang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, Lao Zhang is his own person. Your Majesty doesn't want it. I will give it to Lord Wang. Only Lao Zhang will give it to Lord Wang."

Wang Pingyang hurriedly bowed his hand to Zhang Qing and said, "I dare not. Lord Zhang is the Minister of War, and his rank is higher than me. I am a small official of the Ministry of Rites. I came late. How can I take away the beauty of others? Lord Zhang, you choose first."

Zhang Qing hurriedly put down his wine glass, "Mr. Wang is so polite. Everyone in our Ministry of War is real. Lord Wang wants to carry things and ask me. I can provide one or two hundred people. Don't say who is higher or lower, who is lower, who is first or later. Everyone is friends. Lord Wang comes late, so you should choose first."

The three of them laughed at the same time, and the officials at other tables laughed, and the atmosphere became more and more lively and harmonious.

As he drank, Wang Pingyang suddenly frowned, put down his wine glass, and asked, "Why didn't Jingshi Qu come?"

Everyone in Donghai Kingdom hehe, Zhang Qing said: "Censor Qu is resting today and no outsiders are allowed to disturb him."

"Rest? Your Majesty is about to arrive, and everyone is busy, but Jingshi Qu wants to rest?"

"Censor Qu said that his duty is to supervise and investigate cases and not participate in the matter of taking over the driver."

"What is this? Everyone has a responsibility, so don't they ignore His Majesty for this?"

Yan Kang whispered: "The new official took office for three fires, and the Censor Qu is on the head of the fire. Let's not mess with him."

"Hey, he thought he could be a pretentious person after being a lecture teacher for His Majesty for a few days?"

Yan Kang smiled and said, "It's only one day, and we should be able to leave the mansion tomorrow. We are all used to it, and Lord Wang is also tolerant. Perhaps Censor Qu doesn't know that Lord Wang is coming."

Wang Pingyang was angry, waved to the door, called his entourage, and shouted: "Go, send me a copy of the right censor, and said I would visit before dark."

Yan Kang and Zhang Qing hurriedly dissuaded, but Wang Pingyang insisted even more and asked the entourage to set off immediately, and then said, "Look at what you are afraid of? I didn't do anything that I did, I just wanted to come to the door and say hello in person. I don't think he is the right censor, but just think he is Your Majesty's teacher. I am Your Majesty's foreign relative. On behalf of Your Majesty, you must meet him. Don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely meet me. He has been outside for a long time and needs to understand Your Majesty's movements from me."

All the officials agreed.

Not long after, the entourage came back, walked to the master, and whispered a few words.

"What? Censor Qu doesn't accept the reply?" Wang Pingyang was angry, "Did you tell me who I am?"

The entourage nodded, "I said it, but there was no answer to the emperor, and no one except His Majesty."

Wang Pingyang was furious and slapped the table, frightened the maid behind him and spilled a lot of wine.

"So crazy. I haven't become prime minister yet. Where did he get his temper?"

Yan Kang pulled Wang Pingyang down and smiled and said, "The censor is a censor. It is also necessary that he does not like to contact other officials."

"Am I an 'other official'? I really don't go to see him, because I'm just giving him some face because they are all people around His Majesty?"

"How can I say that the Censor Qu... read more books and fewer things to see. He pays attention to the 'heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers'. In his eyes, teachers are probably more important than relatives."

"The 'dear' can be in front of the 'teacher'!" Wang Pingyang became more and more angry.

The officials came forward to toast and comfort them. These people were old foxes, saying that they were persuasion, but in secret, they poured wine on the fire. Wang Pingyang wanted to say a few words and then passed by, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore and stopped drinking. He said goodbye to everyone and insisted on seeing Qu Zixi in person.

"Did he think he could definitely be the prime minister? With one word, I can't even keep his current position."

The officials stopped Wang Pingyang and sent Wang Pingyang all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he was outside, no one followed him again.

Qu Zixi's residence was very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was getting late. Wang Pingyang was drinking too much and did not ride a horse. Under the guidance of his followers, he soon came to the front of the house and ordered people to go up and smash the door.

Not long after, the door opened, and a young servant walked out of it, looked at it for a few seconds, and asked, "Who? What's the matter?"

When the wind blew, Wang Pingyang was more awake and did not dare to attack immediately. He stepped forward and said, "Wang Pingyang, the counselor of the Ministry of Rites and the commander-in-chief of the patrol, is here to pay a visit to the right censor Qu."

The boy frowned slightly, "Didn't you tell your people? Mr. Qu will not see guests today, so come again tomorrow."

The boy retreated into the door and wanted to close the door casually. Wang Pingyang took a step forward and reached out to block it, "Have you informed Lord Qu?"

"Mr. Qu is quiet, I can't bother you, how can I report it?"

"You'd better inform me. Lord Qu will definitely not blame you. He recognizes me... he should recognize me."

The boy shook his head, "Mr. said it very clearly, I cannot violate it. Moreover, Mr. He knows many people, everyone is like you, and he will never have a chance to rest."

Wang Pingyang was so angry that he felt that all the officials were peeking away from afar. If he returned without success, he would become a laughing stock. How could he have the face to accept "things that Your Majesty doesn't want"?

"I am not an ordinary person, my surname is Wang, and I am His Majesty's cousin."

"Your Majesty has many relatives. Mr. Qu has never said who can meet you, you still..."

Wang Pingyang rushed forward, knocked away the young man, and shouted: "It's not that difficult for me to see the emperor. Censor Qu! Lord Qu! Qu Zixi!"

The boy wanted to stop him, and several of Wang Pingyang's followers rushed in and made a way for the master, but the boy couldn't stop him at all.

Wang Pingyang strode in and headed straight to the main room. There was no one inside. He found several more rooms, but no one was seen. He turned around and asked his followers to catch the young man and asked sternly: "Where is the Censor Qu? Where are you hiding? Tell me quickly, otherwise..."

After a coughing sounded, Wang Pingyang turned around, recognized it as Qu Zixi, and immediately bowed and bowed, "Censor Qu, I have seen you. I am going to go to Wang Pingyang to be the front-line pilot. I just arrived today, so I will pay my respects to you."

Qu Zixi nodded, turned around and walked towards a room. Wang Pingyang followed, turned around and glared at the young man. He would sue him later.

This is a study room. Qu Zixi walked to the table and still didn't speak. She grinds the ink and writes by herself. Wang Pingyang stood aside and smiled and said, "Is Censor Qu cultivating a silent meditation? Fortunately, Your Majesty did not arrive in advance, otherwise you would be in trouble."

Qu Zixi wrote very quickly. After finishing, he put down his pen and turned around to signal Wang Pingyang to come over.

Wang Pingyang walked to the table, looked at it a few times, and was so scared that he was soft and soft. It was an impeachment, pointing directly at his front-line patrol, saying that he was drinking and ignorant of etiquette.

Wang Pingyang sobered up for seven minutes, knelt down and was about to beg, but Qu Zixi waved his hand. Wang Pingyang was stunned for a moment, then understood, got up and grabbed the impeachment memorial on the table, turned around and ran away.

The boy came over and closed the door, and Qu Zixi stood at the table without moving.

Wang Pingyang didn't notice that there was a piece of paper on the table with several names written on it, including Huang Pugong, Yan Kang, Lu Dapeng, Zhao Hao, Nan Zhijin and others.

Qu Zixi picked up his pen, added Wang Pingyang's name, thought for a while, and drew a circle outside the three words "Nanzhijin".
