Chapter 146 - Xu Jingzong is stumped

Xu Jingzong rushed over tremblingly, and stood near the entrance of the main hall, his eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Okay, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, can you be convicted of a crime?"

Xu Jingzong was stunned, thought for a while, he didn't seem to have offended this empress recently.

The duty of the Minister of Rites is nothing more than to be in charge of the world's etiquette, sacrifices, and tributes.There are four categories: one is called the Ministry of Rites, the other is called the Ministry of Ancestral Hall, the third is called the Ministry of Cuisine, and the fourth is called the Ministry of Host and Guest.Total its duties, and execute its orders.There are six subjects: one is scholar, and there are five ways to test strategies.This subject is a bit steeper, and it will be cut off after Zhenguan has passed.The second is Ming Jing, the third is Jinshi, the fourth is Mingfa, the fifth is Shu, and the sixth is calculation.

Recently, His Majesty has been busy attacking outside the frontiers, and there are no sacrifices or tributes. What he does on weekdays is just daily chores, and has never been involved in giving any benefits to certain people.

Xu Jingzong thought for a while, but still couldn't remember, so he lowered his head even lower.

"The lower official is dull, I don't know what the fault of the minister said by the empress, I hope the empress will explain it clearly."

"Hmph!" Wu Meier trembled with pain at the thought of so much white money being blackmailed away.

She tried her best to stop the pain in her heart, and said sharply: "I come to ask you, are all the etiquette in the world under your control?"

"Everything of the people of the Tang Dynasty belongs to His Majesty, and the ministers are only entrusted with it. It is the duty of the ministers to control the world's etiquette."

Xu Jingzong answered cleverly, and he never forgot to compliment His Majesty.

Wu Meier nodded, confirming that Xu Jingzong is a smart person.

It is good to deal with smart people, which can save a lot of tongue.

"In that case, you will be punished!"

Xu Jingzong felt the firmness of these words at this time, and knew that if he continued to contradict him, there would be no good fruit to eat.

This empress, who has always been strong, doesn't have much power of life and death now, and she has to rely on His Majesty's ears and use His Majesty's hands to do anything to herself.

As it is, it should be so.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly climbed along the pole.

"The old minister is guilty, and I hope that the empress will explain it in detail, so that the old minister can reform as soon as possible."

Wu Meier nodded.

"Since you are responsible for the etiquette of the world, you must have the responsibility of all living beings in the world to abide by the etiquette. I heard that there are a group of prodigal children in Chang'an City. They use their Aweng Aye's influence to blackmail merchants. Serious Affecting the daily operation of the store. I should report this to His Majesty when I got the memorandum, but considering that you have always respected me, I couldn’t bear to see you dismissed from office, so I asked you face-to-face and ordered rectification. You should know this Gong Xin?"

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he almost cried.

After going on for a long time, the one who threatened and lured her was because some rascals extorted and angered this empress.

Wait, these things are happening almost every day, the empress didn't mention it sooner or later, why did she mention it today.

Unless it touched the empress's own interests.

Could it be her Wu family's business?

However, for such a matter, you should go to the Jingzhao Mansion, or directly to the Dali Temple for inquiries and supervision.

Why didn't I find the Minister of Rites who couldn't beat it?

Could it be that this is His Majesty's will?Is it not easy for outsiders to know about this matter?

Xu Jingzong thought of this, and asked again: "I would like to thank my mother for her kindness. This old minister should use his filial piety to share the worries of my mother. This is a great honor for this old minister."

Wu Mei'er nodded: "As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, I should take the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness of the people of the world as my purpose, and educate the people of the world. If there are those who do not obey, they should be punished, so as to imitate others."

"Here!"

Xu Jingzong felt the three-point blame and withdrew.

When they came to the door, they suddenly found Guan Po standing there.

Xu Jingzong hurried forward and pulled out a gold hairpin from his cuff. There was a red coral stone on the crown of the gold hairpin, and handed it to Guan Po.

"I hope the housewife will make it clear about the matter of the empress."

Guan Po reached out to take it, then stuffed it into her cuff, and said with a smile: "Recently, a new store called Baoyuanzhai opened, you can go and understand the people's sentiments."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely go, and I will go right away. But, what should I do if the vicious dog doesn't listen to my advice?"

"A vicious dog likes to bite, so hit it! If you bite again, no one will blame you for being cruel. My lord, do you think it makes sense?"

Xu Jingzong looked at Guan Po's sharp eyes, and smiled bitterly: "Yes, that's the reason."

After leaving Taiji Palace, Xu Jingzong rushed to Baoyuan Zhai without stopping.

Li Shisan warmly received Xu Jingzong, and stated in detail the matter of being blackmailed.

When Xu Jingzong asked about the background of this store, Li Shisan just laughed.

Xu Jingzong understood it deeply and knew it well.

Li Shisan packed all kinds of fashionable treasures into a big gift bag and gave them to Xu Jingzong.

Only now did Xu Jingzong get into the carriage, and rushed to Zuifeng Lou, where he usually gathers with his friends.

Send someone to report to them one by one.

Xu Jingzong went up to the private room on the second floor that he had settled down for a long time.

This was originally a storage room at the corner of the winery.

Xu Jingzong liked the dishes here very much, he also liked this restaurant near the river, and he liked this secluded corner even more.

And this room is even closer to the river.

When you open the window, you can see the river under the shade of the jungle.

Sitting down, you can also hear the sound of the river flowing.

Although it is winter, the water flow under the ice can still make the sound of cooing.

Xu Jingzong liked this house very much, so the owner of the shop moved the storage to two small rooms on the side, and carefully decorated the room.

Xu Jingzong paid the annual private room fee and took this place as his own.

The owner of the shop personally came up to order food, and then went downstairs again.

Tea has been served.

Xu Jingzong sat on a small clinical table and drank tea alone.

Thinking about a solution to this matter.

Frowning, he thought that the biggest loser in this matter must be Empress Zhaoyi, so he guessed the weight of the emperor in it.

Knowing is inevitable, acquiescing may also be inevitable.

That being the case, after finishing this matter, with the help of Empress Zhaoyi's Longsheng grace, if she is upright in the future, she will rise accordingly.

Think of your life as a disaster.As a descendant of Xu Xun, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Aye was also the minister of the Ministry of Rites in the former dynasty, and his family background and status can be described as prominent.

During the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, he was a scholar and later served as a secretary.After Aye was killed by the thieves, he had no choice but to defect to the Wagang Army, and was appointed as a reporter by Li Mi.

After Li Mi's defeat, he defected to the Tang Dynasty and left Lianzhou.The first emperor succeeded to the throne, but was demoted for some reason.If it weren't for the fact that Longzhong was right that time, and I answered delicately, I'm afraid I would still be lying on the bottom.

Think about it, Chu Suiliang, the historian responsible for recording the notes on the life of the former kings, would record it like this:

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty asked Xu Jingzong, "I see that Qing is the most virtuous among the ministers, and there are people who criticize you, why?"

Jingzong said to him: "spring rain is like ointment, farmers like its moistness, pedestrians hate its muddy; autumn moon is like a mirror, beauties like it to enjoy, thieves hate its brilliance, the world is so big, what's more, what's the matter? I don't have fat sheep and wine to reconcile everyone Do not listen to what is right and wrong, and do not listen to what is right and what is wrong. The ruler listens to ministers being killed, the father listens to sons being punished, husband and wife listen to each other, friends are never listened to, relatives are not listened to, and neighbors are not listened to. Life is seven feet long. , beware of the three-inch tongue, there is a dragon spring on the tongue, and no blood will be seen when killing people. Who doesn't talk about people in front of them? Who doesn't talk about people behind their backs?"

Taizong said: "Your words are very kind, I should know it!"

Relying on clever arguments, he was appreciated by the first emperor many times.Especially during the conquest of Goguryeo, he was appreciated by the first emperor for his decent drafting of the imperial edict. After the death of Cen Wenben, he was appointed as the assistant minister of the school by himself, and later added doctor Qing Guanglu.After the emperor ascended the throne, he replaced Yu Zhining as the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Minister of Rites?In addition to writing and drawing, holding sacrifices as scheduled on weekdays to reward the Holy Spirit, there is no prestige and power at all.

Xu Jingzong still wanted to climb up.

I often do small things for the emperor.But there are many people who curry favor with the emperor.

Doing a little thing, how can it fall into the eyes of the emperor.

But it's different to do things for Empress Wu Zhaoyi, even the slightest thing, she will remember it in her heart.

What's more, there are rumors that Wu Zhaoyi will do something in the future.

Can a woman be an emperor?nonsense!
Although this rumor is extremely ridiculous, but now seeing how much favor she has received, one can know that it is unwise to offend her. To curry favor with her, she is by the side of the emperor to help me listen to the wind, which is better than how many small things I do. important.

It's just that this matter is too difficult to handle.

One side is the empress's private property, and the other side is the children of the rich and powerful, and it is not clear yet.

Why!How should this be handled?
"Brother from the Yan clan, what's the matter? This guy is calling me old man. I'll take my first bite of food right away at home."

"Hey, my counselor, you are here! Something is worrying me to death!"
