Datang Nongwang

Chapter 863 Assist from Cousin
In an era like the present.

It is an indisputable fact that officials are indeed higher than the people, and the people are always lower than the officials.

What law is not noble, under what law, the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people.

This is impossible and never will be possible.

Don't want the current feudal era. Even in modern times, princes can't commit the same crimes as ordinary people when they break the law.

In Li Chongyuan's understanding.

As long as it is done by people, as long as it is anything that needs to be done by people, there is selfishness.

Don't talk about the things that people do, even if the things made by machines, he can't guarantee that all the products are qualified.

But when the doctor said that he is an official higher than the people, Li Chongyuan yelled and scared him back a few steps, bumping the nearby officials to the side.

Everyone looked at the hideous Li Chongyuan, as if they didn't know each other.

And this time.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, stood up from the throne after hearing a famous sentence from Li Chongyuan that he had never heard before, muttering softly, "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps."

At the moment, or before, there has never been a phrase like "only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps".

Yes, when this sentence appeared, it was not in the Tang Dynasty, nor in the Han Dynasty, but in the Song Dynasty.

Lu You's "Laoxue'an Notes" is the first to appear that "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps", so Li Shimin has never heard such a sentence.

For this reason, when Li Shimin suddenly heard such a famous sentence, he stood up in surprise and looked at Li Chongyuan in a daze.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan at this moment.

He was pressuring the doctor step by step, "As a dignified doctor from the fifth grade, if you say something that the officials are higher than the people, you don't have to know what the officials say, but the people don't have to know such words. I really doubt that you will enter the official career. It’s a way to spend money.”

"Li Chongyuan, don't mess around. Xue Langzhong is a serious Jinshi who entered the official position, not like some people who are qualified to stand here because of his cuteness." When Li Chongyuan said that the doctor was an official who was bought with money, he couldn't help it. An official who was also a doctor in the distance expressed his displeasure at what Li Chongyuan said.

Li Chongyuan looked at the doctor when he heard the sound, and then smiled.

Li Chongyuan knew that doctor.

Zheng Wu, the doctor of Xunsi of the Ministry of Officials.

From his surname, it can be seen that this Mr. Zheng Wu belongs to a family.

Li Chongyuan smiled, and that Zheng Wu's eyelids suddenly twitched, secretly wondering if he had said something wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have said anything wrong.

Just when he was suspicious, Li Chongyuan walked directly to this Langzhong Zheng, came up to him, and said with a sinister smile on his face: "Oh, it turned out to be Langzhong Zheng. I remember, five years ago, you were just a The Dali judges under the eighth rank, what a drop, you have climbed fast enough in five years. Well, I have to count, how did you climb up to the fifth rank in five years? Middle. From the top of the eighth rank, the bottom of the eighth rank, the top of the eighth rank, the bottom of the seventh rank, the top of the seventh rank, the bottom of the seventh rank, the top of the seventh rank, the bottom of the sixth rank, the top of the sixth rank, the top of the fifth rank. I Shit, level [-], you can really climb. In just five years, you climbed from a Dali judge at the lower rank of eighth rank to a doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs at the fifth rank. You teach me, How did you climb up? But I have heard that your Zheng family has money, and if you let it flow out a little, it would not be an exaggeration for you to be the servant of the official department."

Mengyin, Li Chongyuan is hard to say.

Because he wasn't the only one who was in love, and no one else stood up to say anything, so naturally he, Li Chongyuan, wouldn't say anything either.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that she is cute.

If Mengyin doesn't talk about it, then Li Chongyuan will talk about Zheng Wu's promotion.

then.

When Li Chongyuan first arrived in this era, he also got to know Zheng Wu, who was still serving as a Dali judge at the time, because of Lu Sheng, the son of Dali Temple Shaoqing Lu Zhu.

Back then, Li Chongyuan even slapped the mean-spirited Zheng Wu.

But now, Zheng Wu jumped out at this time, and Li Chongyuan hit Zheng Wu's heart directly as if he had found a breakthrough.

Jumping fifteen grades in five years is unimaginable.

If there is nothing tricky about it, Li Chongyuan would not believe it even if he was killed.

And who is the Zheng family on good terms with?

Apart from people from the aristocratic family, there are people like Fang Xuanling who have been licking the aristocratic family.

For example, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, etc.

In short, most of the ministers in this court are licking the family.

Even, even the royal family sometimes licks the family.

After Li Chongyuan counted down, Zheng Wu's face turned green.

even.

The faces of some ministers also started to turn green.

but.

Li Chongyuan didn't let Zheng Wu go, and wanted to use Zheng Wu to reveal the inside, "You have been a judge in Dali Temple for five years, and after five years, your sudden promotion really makes me a little surprised." Eye-opening. Others have worked hard all their lives, but they may not be able to rise to the fifth rank at the end, but you Zheng Langzhong is so simple. Zheng Langzhong, I, Li Chongyuan, are very curious. Can you tell me how to get promoted when I become an official? The secret? You know, I, Li Chongyuan, are young, so if I climb high, I will fall hard. Maybe after today, I will be sent to a county magistrate, and I will have to learn it at that time. Learn from you and see if you can climb to the position of doctor in five years."

"Hey, don't hide, don't lower your head, and tell me your secret. We didn't know each other back then. For the sake of old friends, tell me the secret of your promotion. , let me, Li Chongyuan, study hard."

After Li Chongyuan's words came out, Zheng Wu's face turned from green to green, from blue to purple.

With his head lowered and his body bent, he didn't dare to look at Li Chongyuan, let alone respond to Li Chongyuan's words.

The state of Zheng Wu's expression had already told everyone present that he was able to climb to this position in five years, and there must be a lot of tricks in it.

And Li Shimin above, after seeing this, nodded directly to Wang Li.

After receiving Li Shimin's signal, Wang Li nodded lightly, keeping this matter in mind.

Li Chongyuan has been watching the exchange between Li Shimin and Wang Li.

When Li Chongyuan saw the exchange between the two, he directly withdrew and went back to that Langzhong Xue from the household department just now.

Why didn't Li Chongyuan take advantage of the victory to pursue?

no need.

I am just an introduction, I don't even need to do the medicine myself.

When he returned to the household doctor, the household doctor Xue saw Li Chongyuan approaching him again. He didn't know whether it was a conditioned reflex or involuntarily stepped back two steps, and looked at Li Chongyuan nervously.

He was afraid.

Just now, Li Chongyuan directly attacked the promotion of the doctor Zheng Wu who spoke for him, he knew it clearly.

He didn't want to face Li Chongyuan's attack again.

Losing a person is a minor matter, but losing an official is a major matter.

But Li Chongyuan didn't want to let him go, and stepped forward again, "Mr Xue, I really didn't recognize you before, but today you let me remember you. Just now because of that shameless Zheng Wu who spoke for you , crossed me. But our business is not over yet, is it, Xue Langzhong."

"Li Chongyuan, I didn't offend you. What do you mean by holding onto me? This is the court, not a place for you to torture me privately." Seeing that Li Chongyuan was really entangled with him, Xue Langzhong, I felt that I could no longer retreat, so I had to give up.

Although he lost face a bit, this Langzhong Xue really didn't want to lose face again.

Hard top, that's the only option he can choose.

However, what he said seemed to be very contradictory, what did he mean did not offend Li Chongyuan.

But then again, he really didn't offend Li Chongyuan in the true sense.

Just now, he criticized Li Chongyuan for violating the regulations of the court, but that would not really offend him.

But he doesn't know Li Chongyuan's nature. Once you criticize me, you will offend me, Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan smiled coldly, stared at him and said: "Offending me is not a big deal. There are many people who have offended me, who are you? Besides, I, Li Chongyuan, are just a small person. If you offend me, a small person, It’s really not a big deal, but as far as your way of being an official is concerned, it offends all the people in the world, dare to ask, do you, Mr. Xue, have the face to be an official?”

"Your Majesty, those words just now were just the minister's excited words, not what I really thought. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." This Langzhong Xue was very smart, knowing that he couldn't make sense with Li Chongyuan, he directly bypassed Li Chongyuan and came to the center. Bowing to Li Shimin is a salute.

Li Chongyuan laughed even more when he saw Langzhong Xue stand up and admit his mistake to Li Shimin.

Immediately, Li Chongyuan returned to the central position and cupped his hands towards Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the people once said that there are two mouths under the official word, one to hide and the other to deceive. This is the official in the hearts of the people. If the sage doesn't believe it, you can send it yourself." Trustworthy people leave Chang'an and go to other places to investigate and investigate, and they will know whether what the minister said is true or not. But what this Langzhong Xue said not long ago is that officials are higher than people, which shows that he has never had people in his heart, so he is not worthy to be a person at all. Official! You don't even have the qualifications to be a subordinate!"

"Li Chongyuan, you!!!" That Langzhong Xue blushed with anger when he saw Li Chongyuan speak so far.

This is to end his official career.

Yes.

Li Chongyuan just wanted to cut off his official career, and the career of a person like him who has the idea that officials are above the people.

Anyway, Li Chongyuan had already made up his mind before going to court, it doesn't matter what he does after today, the important thing is that he can kill one today.

It would be the best if ministers like Fang Xuanling could be killed.

but.

These ministers have kept silent until now, as if they were waiting for something, and as if they had reached some kind of agreement, in short, they just kept silent.

This also made Li Chongyuan unable to find an excuse to fight back.

The people are the most important, this is what Li Shimin often said in the court.

And this Langzhong Xue dared to say that the officials are higher than the people at this time, wouldn't that just slap Li Shimin in the face.

If Li Shimin could tolerate him under Li Chongyuan's attack and ridicule, then Li Chongyuan would be considered a monkey.

Just when Li Chongyuan wanted to see Li Shimin's statement, an official suddenly walked out from among the officials, came to the center and bowed his hands to Li Shimin, "My lord, Xue Langzhong was just speechless, but as far as I know, Xue Langzhong is handling official business. They all put the court as the most important thing, and even more so, the people. I also ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten me."

When the official came out, Li Chongyuan was a little dumbfounded.

do you know it?
Of course know.

But Li Chongyuan knew that this official did not criticize him endlessly like other officials.

In fact, Li Chongyuan never found out, and the official didn't even sue himself in the memorial.

but.

At this time, when he stood up to speak for that Langzhong Xue, Li Chongyuan seemed a little confused and didn't understand.

but.

When Li Chongyuan thought about the character of this official he had known in his previous life, he then discarded everything he knew and understood.

Because what Li Chongyuan knew in his previous life, he knew all kinds of bad deeds of this official.

but.

What Li Chongyuan knew was what happened to this official after Li Shimin passed away and after Li Zhi came to power, but at the moment, Li Chongyuan has not discovered any serious misdeeds of this official.

Li Chongyuan thought in his heart, this official stood up to speak for that Langzhong Xue, what is the relationship between the two of them.

Li Chongyuan even began to wonder if this official was having an affair with this Langzhong Xue.

after all.

Masculinity is already very popular in Chang'an, especially for some ministers and officials, honored and rich.

Just as Li Chongyuan was thinking about all kinds of possibilities, a person rushed in from outside the hall and went straight to the official.

The figure of the person rushing in was so fast that before Li Chongyuan could react, the figure rushed towards the official.

"I'll kill you bastard, I'll kill you bastard, I'll kill you bastard." The figure went straight to the official, and even threw his fist at the official as if he didn't want money.

When he jumped at that person, everyone was dumbfounded.

Including Li Chongyuan.

When Li Chongyuan listened to his voice and watched his shadow, he realized that the figure who jumped in was his cousin Li Chongzhen.

Li Chongyuan became curious.

How could Li Chongzhen rush into the hall after this official stood up and beat him up?

Strange and curious.

Persuade a fight?
Advise a wool.

Li Chongyuan stood not far away, watching the scene coldly.

For Li Chongyuan, there must be a reason for his cousin to rush in and beat up the official at this time.

And Li Chongyuan's understanding of that official was limited to what he knew about him in his previous life.

The incident happened suddenly, and no one had time to fight.

At this moment, Wang Li, who was guarding Li Shimin's side, responded in the most timely manner. He rushed to the two of them with one stride, and grabbed Li Chongzhen with one hand, "Li County Marquis, stop!"

"Go aside, I have to kill this bastard today. It was him, he was the one who planned to surround my cousin, causing my cousin's guards to almost die. If he hadn't stood up and spoke today, I would have died I forgot about that voice." Li Chongzhen was pulled by Wang Li, but he kept waving his hands and feet indiscriminately.

Li Chongyuan who was not far away was startled.

Wang Li was also shocked when he heard this.

Even Li Shimin was shocked after hearing Li Chongzhen's words.
