Chapter 336 [Continued] Dengwengu

At the Imperial Academy, with just one word from Emperor Yongtai, Cui Yunhao was promoted from the rank of Sixth Rank Editor to the Full Sixth Rank of Attendant. Among the new scholars, few were promoted so quickly, but Cui Yunhao had to catch up.

.

The news spread all of a sudden, making everyone in the Hanlin Academy envious.

But envy was in vain. Wan Kaifeng, who was next to Cui Yunhao on the table, also sighed and said: "Most of the people who entered the Hanlin Academy had read those few national histories, but no one

You are the only one who is willing to take on this troublesome job. Now that I think about it, this is also your opportunity."

After saying that, he congratulated Cui Yunhao. It was obvious that he was sincerely happy for him. Cui Yunhao smiled and said, "It's just luck."

Wan Kaifeng shook his head and said, "In this way, everyone has had this luck, but you were the only one who caught it."

Cui Yunhao just smiled and stopped talking.

As night fell, Cui Yunhao still hadn't come back. Chu Yingying lit up all the lamps and candles in the yard. She leaned on the table and read books, which were all medical records given to her by Dr. Zhang.

The candlelight jumped, and she was startled to realize that unknown insects were singing outside the window, with a long sound and a short sound.

Chu Yingying stood up and flicked the wick. The originally dim candle light immediately became much brighter. There was a very familiar sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate," another person said, "Yang Youda, the Minister of Punishment, is a member of His Highness King Yong. If we send someone there, wouldn't it just happen to be the subject of the conversation?"

Several officials were silent and did not dare to speak. The prince gasped and glanced at them with a pair of eyes, saying: "The matter of Bai Songjiang has been settled long ago. Those who should be killed will be killed, and what should be done will be done. What?

Another daughter of the magistrate of Chizhou showed up today? She even brought the matter to the Ministry of Punishment, why don’t you report it directly to the emperor?"

Maybe it was really just the smell of alcohol, which was very light and disappeared in the air all of a sudden.

Cui Yunhao agreed, and the two of them placed the dishes and chopsticks. The air was extremely quiet, and only the slight sound of the dishes colliding could be heard. Chu Yingying had something on her mind, and she seemed a little absent-minded at this time.

Chu Yingying poured a glass of water, pushed it to him, and asked curiously: "Why do I need you to be the host today?"

"Well, Yang Youda is Mr. Liu Ge's disciple. Can you please help Mr. Liu Ge?"

The official shook his head repeatedly, and the prince pointed at the official next to him and said angrily: "That's you?!"

Cui Yunhao recounted today's events in detail. When she heard the word "Prince", Chu Yingying's heart sank, and some clues appeared on her face. Such a clue was revealed by Cui Yunhao.

Hao saw it.

As he spoke, he raised his sleeve and handed it over, smiling: "If you don't believe me, take a look?"

The fine ancient kiln fine porcelain tea cup was smashed to pieces on the blue brick floor, followed by an angry man's voice: "Who reported this matter?!"

With just one glance, Chu Yingying knew that Cui Yunhao was a little drunk. She asked doubtfully: "You went to drink?"

Chu Yingying shook her head and said: "I just remembered some old things and was a little distracted."

Cui Yunhao was startled for a moment and said, "Who is it?"

The official didn't dare to cry out in pain, let alone reach out to wipe the blood on his forehead. He just kowtowed desperately and said repeatedly: "Your Highness, calm down!"

"Yingying?"

Prince's Mansion.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and a figure stepped into the door in the darkness of night, calling her with a smile: "Yingying, I'm back."

Chu Yingying was startled. She had no idea that Cui Yunhao would be promoted to a first-grade official in just one month. She hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

Cui Yunhao called twice tentatively, and Chu Yingying came back to her senses. She saw the worry in his eyes and said, "Yingying, what's wrong with you?"

She thought for a while and said to Cui Yunhao: "I saw someone beating the Dengwen drum today."

Prince Duan Geng, dressed in regular clothes, stood in the hall, pointing with one finger at the officials kneeling on the ground, and almost bursting with anger in his eyes: "It's you?!"

Chu Yingying didn't really smell it, but Cui Yunhao looked a little disappointed.

He raised his eyes and looked over, his eyes blazing. Chu Yingying could only avoid it slightly and changed the subject: "The person who beats the drum is the daughter of the former magistrate of Chizhou. I have met her."

"Okay, okay!" The prince stared and said coldly: "If it's not you, could it be that you are alone?"

Cui Yunhao shook his head, sat down on the chair, and said: "I didn't drink. I was the host today and invited several colleagues to the restaurant. They all drank. I was the only one who didn't drink. Really."

Hearing this, Cui Yunhao smiled, his eyes bright, and said: "Yingying, the emperor has promoted me to an official position today. When the end of the year is over, I will be able to go to the Imperial College as an attendant."

The air was quiet for a moment, and the candlelight danced uncertainly. At this time, an official bravely said: "Why don't we send someone to the Ministry of Justice first to see if we can suppress the news."

As he spoke, his eyes deepened, a hint of thoughtfulness appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "Tomorrow is Jixia. According to regulations, the emperor will order the four eunuchs to sacrifice the spirit of the ancestral temple. It would be better if it is not reported tomorrow.

, if he is reported to the police, he may not be able to do anything good."

Cui Yunhao nodded: "I know, Yingying seemed to be in Chizhou at that time?"

Chu Yingying replied: "In early May, do you know about the Baisong River bursting its banks and flooding?"

The prince was so angry that he threw another tea cup and cursed loudly: "What a bunch of colorless people! They are as stupid as pigs and dogs!"

At this moment, an official kneeling at the end kowtowed and said: "Your Highness, please calm down. I don't dare to make decisions on my own. However, Emperor Taigaozu has an explicit order. As soon as the drum is played, the chief minister must immediately accept the case."

, those who do not immediately accept it will be punished by an additional level, and if they dare to stop it, they will be severely sentenced. Your Highness, this complaint goes directly to the imperial court, and even if I have thousands of courages, I would not dare to hide it."

"Pah——"

There was silence in the lobby, and no one dared to make a sound.

The prince now calmed down a lot. He glanced at them and said: "Now that the fold has been handed over, you usually don't have much ability. Now let me give you an idea. There will be a sacrifice tomorrow. If this happens to happen to my father,

At the Emperor’s place, I’m afraid everyone won’t be able to eat and walk around!”

The official looked like a quail, trembling, and kowtowed: "No, not a minister."

Everyone immediately said in unison: "Your Highness, please calm down."

The remaining people also kowtowed: "I hope His Highness will learn from this."

With a "pop-" sound, another tea cup was smashed to pieces, and blood suddenly flowed from the official's forehead. The prince's expression was sinister, and he said coldly: "Is it your turn to memorize the laws of the Zhou Dynasty alone?"

Cui Yunhao thought for a moment and then said: "I have also heard about the Chizhou magistrate committing suicide out of fear of crime, and the case has been closed... If it is his daughter who comes to beat the drum, I am afraid this matter will not calm down for a while.

.”

He thought, Yingying really recognized this person.

Cui Yunhao didn't ask further questions. Chu Yingying stood up and said, "Let's eat first. It's all heated in the pot and waiting for you to come back. If you're not full, just use some more."

The current crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty is Duan Geng.

"Yang Youda has never been soft-spoken, and his relationship with Mr. Liu Ge is not very close, so how can he listen?"

"Then you said..."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but after arguing for a long time, nothing came out. However, the prince's face became darker and darker, and it seemed that he was beginning to compete for the pot.

The officials also noticed it and gradually became silent.
