Chapter 22 Lively Atmosphere
Bai Zhongchuan, the former governor of the Southern Ya Prefecture, was held down by Chen Shou and beaten up, and then sued the emperor.
Emperor Yuan was furious and immediately ordered Bai Zhongchuan to be banished and exiled from the capital.
As the news came out, the civil servants in the court collectively lost their voices, and many people gathered in the brothel and drank to relieve their depression.
Countless poems have been passed down, all of which are based on the past to mock the present, pointing to the mulberry and scolding the locust, and calling Chen Shou the most treacherous slander from ancient times to the present.
At the Fenglin Ferry Crossing of Bianliang, there were guests full of guests, and famous scholars from the court and the country gathered to see Bai Zhongchuan off the road.
This time he was demoted to Qingzhou as deputy envoy of the regiment training. It can be said that Bai Zhongchuan's political life has ended, and his face is full of loss.
The officials around were also indignant, but Bai Zhongchuan was not grateful at all, and even felt a little disgusted.
Because after the emperor issued an order a few days ago, no one spoke for him, and the character of these people in the court was average.
He shook his sleeves and said cheerfully: "Dear colleagues, I am leaving soon. In the future, the court and the country will rely on you. Now that the treacherous and slander are in power, please be more careful."
He spoke frivolously and beautifully, but he was extremely depressed.
At the same time, in Chen's mansion in the city, Chen Shou stretched out his hands and let Lu'er change his clothes. The corners of his mouth couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Why are you so happy about me?" Lu'er asked in confusion.
"A group of birds plotted against me, but ended up turning into a third-rank prefect, which made people laugh when they thought of it." Chen Shou put on his clothes, walked into the yard, looked at Zhao Hong and said, "Are you ready?"
Zhao Hong nodded, unbuttoned his robe and tied rows of fireworks on his chest, looking like a terrorist about to launch a suicide attack.
Chen Shou cursed angrily: "Stay away from me and ask you to get some fireworks. What are you doing?"
"Sir, Old Man Bai has been demoted. Since we are going to set off fireworks to celebrate, we have to be surprised and make them angry. If they are seen early, there will be no effect!"
Chen Shou laughed and scolded: "You are really a genius. You can fool people without any leakage. You are a good seedling."
"It's all good friends with adults. If you stay with them for a long time, you will learn from them without a teacher."
Chen Shou nodded, suddenly felt that it didn't look like something good, so he kicked Zhao Hong on the butt and said, "Go out quickly, don't let them go, and let them go if they're empty-handed."
Zhao Hong walked quickly and turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, these civil servants are the most ink-like and are so sour. I'll probably leave until dusk when I sent them."
Having said that, the group drove to the suburbs quickly. Sure enough, the Maple Forest Ferry was filled with purple covers and the carriages were crowded. Many officials gathered by the river to see Bai Zhongchuan off.
After Chen Shou got off the car, Zhao Hong stood at the front of the car and shouted loudly: "The loyal and brave uncle Chen Shou is here!"
The sound was very loud, and everyone looked over, and saw a group of big-soldiers and round-waisted golden feather guards gathered in a frivolous boy and walked over with a smile.
With hatred eyes, Chen Shou looked at him and went straight to the riverside and smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Bai sued the next case. Now he was driven to Qingzhou by His Majesty and became a deputy envoy of the ninth rank. I was very uneasy in my heart, so I came to see him off."
"Hmph, no need, you don't plan to do something with each other." Bai Zhongchuan said coldly. By this time, he had no scruples anymore. If he hadn't been afraid of being beaten, he would have cursed at Chen Shou.
"How can that work? Zhang He, bring wine! I want to toast Bai Zhongchuan. He is very wise and knows that his level is not good. He gives way to Huang Zhen. He is really elegant."
Bai Zhongchuan's head was about to be tilted. It was because of Liu Qin's affection that he ordered to capture one of Chen Shou's subordinates. Unexpectedly, this kid was so revenge that he was leaving Beijing and he was going to humiliate himself.
Suddenly, fireworks came, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, and the scene was a little festive. Chen Shou held his hands behind his back and laughed with the Jinyu Guards, sending off his originally solemn farewell just like the New Year.
The officials present looked at the arrogant and domineering Chen Shou, and in addition to the most hatred, there were also a few inexplicable meanings in their eyes.
Whose world is the court today? Who can be promoted and made a fortune by relying on it?
---
Huang Zhen took office as Nanya and his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.
The local official in charge of the Southern Yaya is the local official in Kaifeng Prefecture. As the saying goes, county officials are not as good as the current officials. There are many powerful people in Kaifeng Prefecture, and this prefect is not comparable to other prefects.
When he arrived at the government office, he found that something was wrong. All the officials and the soldiers stood there lazily, without any energy.
Huang Zhen's eyes rolled and he knew the whole story. These people were all from Bai Zhongchuan.
He has been operating the Nanya for so long, and he must have arranged his confidant. Huang Zhen snorted coldly in his heart and had already begun to plan to replace him.
He is not a fledgling yellow-haired boy. Huang Zhen’s rich resume makes Chen Shou even admire him.
He is simply an old man in the officialdom and knows how to deal with this.
After handling the government affairs for a while, Huang Zhen took his men to Chen Shou's mansion.
Chen Shou had just gone out and was disgusted by the civil servants, but he was disgusted by a piece of news.
Jinyang City was actually lost. Jinyang, which was as solid as a sacred Jinyang, was captured by a group of White Lotus Sect bandits who were still farming last year.
How decayed the local situation? Can such a Da Qi resist Mongolia or Southern Tang?
After Huang Zhen came in, he saw that he was depressed and couldn't help but wonder: "Sir, we won a great victory, why don't you smile?"
Chen Shou pointed to the battle report on the table and said, "You can read it yourself."
After reading it, Huang Zhen pondered and said, "I don't know that in the place in Hedong, because it is full of powerful people, ordinary people who want to support so many local snakes, they live a very miserable life. In addition, the autumn flood season, hundreds of thousands of people have actually reached the point of desperate situation."
"Therefore, the slogans proposed by the White Lotus Sect bandits are very inflammatory and followers gather. Anyway, rebellion is death, and not rebelling is waiting for death. If the root cause of Hedong is not solved, that is, the Hedong nobles all promote the soup and stop the boiling."
Chen Shou took a deep breath and asked, "This stubborn disease has been in scale for hundreds of years. How can it be easily eliminated?"
Huang Zhen was a little puzzled and asked, "Sir, you are not in his position and do not do your own thing, so why bother with this matter?"
"I'm afraid that the generals will cause trouble, and the capital will not be at peace." Chen Shou defended himself. In fact, he didn't agree. He wanted to say that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, but that may cause unnecessary trouble.
After all, in the heart of Emperor Gengyuan, I just hope that he can refine elixirs well and ignore anything else.
