Merry Eunuch Lang

On the morning of the second day, the deacon eunuch announced: If there is something to do, the court will be played, and if there is nothing to do, the court will be dismissed!

Dali Temple Zhengqing Wu Shiduo hurried out of the class and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Acting empress and empress, live forever and live forever!"

The emperor was impatient, and urged: "Don't give me such a motherfucker, let go of your fart!"

Only then did Wu Shiduo get back to the topic: "Yesterday, the governor of Liangzhou, Ning Wujia, was killed for no reason because of his son, so he captured the murderer Pan You'an..."

As soon as the word "Pan You'an" was mentioned, the court immediately exploded like a pot, regardless of court etiquette, one by one whispered to each other, discussing:

"Pan You'an! Which Pan You'an? Isn't it Marshal Pan?"

"There are too many people with the same name and surname, don't guess randomly!"

"Didn't the commander-in-chief go into the sea and go to the Gobi Desert to kill birds?"

"You forgot, the master once fought there, maybe he returned to his father-in-law's house?"

"........."

Long Yan was displeased, and said sternly: "A small murderer also reported to the court, are you afraid that I have nothing to do in the court?"

"No and no!" Wu Shiduo, who was prostrate on the ground, hastily corrected, "This Pan is the famous Grand Marshal Pan, Grandpa Pan, who is disarmed and never returned to the fields, and retired from his old age, and Pan You'anpan, who was appointed as the King of Xiaoyao by imperial edict. General!"

There was another uproar in the courtroom, the emperor waved his hand to calm the chaotic scene, and then interrupted and asked:

"Where is Pan Aiqing now?"

"I'm currently on death row in Dali Temple." Wu Shiduo raised his head and took a peek at the young emperor sitting on the dragon seat, and then quietly glanced around.

Long Yan was furious, and scolded: "It's really unreasonable! Even if Pan Aiqing is guilty, compared with the meritorious service he made for the country in the past, it is a trivial matter. Besides, he still has the gold medal for avoiding death. Why should he be put on death row?"

"This, this, this..." Wu Shiduo hesitated.

"Okay, okay, the gate is closed. Dali Temple is not a place for games. How can you come in and out at will? Of course, after you go back, you must treat Pan Aiqing kindly. You are not allowed to use torture. The food must be strengthened. Give him whatever he wants to eat." Huh. If Brother Pan makes any mistakes, be careful of your head." The emperor's words are tight, it seems that the past few years of being the lord of the country is really not in vain.

"I obey the decree! May my emperor live forever!" Wu Shiduo climbed to the ground and kowtowed to thank him, muttering, "Empress Ning Dynasty will live forever..."

"Old Wu, are you fucking finished?" The emperor said, his eyes were like torches, he inspected the audience, and then said to His Highness, "The case of Brother Pan is undoubtedly the most important case since the founding of the dynasty. This case is based on the principle of 'the prince commits the same crime as the people', without wrongdoing, without partiality, and without selfishness. It is necessary to eliminate harm for the people and protect the hero who protects the country. I wonder which love minister is willing to hear this case?"

After the emperor finished speaking, he quickly patrolled the venue for a week, and all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to speak.Any fool can see that there is something in the emperor's words, Pan You'an killed his brother-in-law, and it was his father-in-law who brought him here, how can the emperor let it go?Master Pan has caused quite a lot of trouble this time, and it seems that his life may be at stake.Think about how many times Pan Shuai lived for the country and the people, how many times he slept in the wind and rain, how many times he stood on his guard and fought bloody battles. If he was not skilled in martial arts, good luck, and skillful use of soldiers, he would have died eight times.After becoming famous, I wanted to find a place to spend the rest of my life with my wife and children, but I didn't expect to encounter such a disaster in the end.The emperor asked who was willing to try the case. Didn't the hand feel pain and forcefully stuff it into the eye, looking for something to do?Who would dare to take this case, if it was because he had eaten a bear's heart and leopard's courage, or his brain had been flooded.

The emperor waited for a while, but seeing that no one responded, he turned his attention to the case of the chief minister and asked:

"Brother Hu Wang, Brother Hua Wang, you two think about which of you will be the judge?"

Hu San waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I can't force you to. Everyone knows the relationship between me and Marshal Pan. To avoid suspicion, it's better to avoid it."

Hua Shixiong also said: "My situation is roughly the same as that of Prime Minister Hu, so I don't need to say more."

"Two slickers," the emperor cursed secretly, "there is no way to shift the responsibility to others!" The emperor ordered the eunuch to declare:

"Order Hu and Hua to try Pan's case, hereby!"

Hu and the two knelt down in the dust at the same time, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, this matter is unprecedented! We have always tried cases, one is the principal and the other is the deputy, how can we both try it at the same time?"

The emperor secretly smiled, and said: "This matter is easy to handle. As for the chief judge and deputy judge, you two can draw lots, or change every day, and take turns as the chief judge and deputy judge."

This is simply unreasonable, but who dares to refute the emperor's words?What people say is what.In other words, the trial of King Xiaoyao by the two prime ministers was enough to give Marshal Pan enough face.

On the second day, Hua Shixiong was drawn by lottery. Old Huazi resolutely sat on the presiding judge's seat and yelled, "The prisoner will be interrogated!"

Pan You'an was dragged into the front of the hall by Wu Huada, he looked up to see these two, so he stood up instead of kneeling.Lao Huazi turned his head and looked at Hu San, but Hu San turned a blind eye.Lao Huazi thought to himself that you are a favor and I don't know how to be a favor?He hurriedly left the table, took a few quick steps, and reached in front of Pan You'an, hugged Pan's shoulders with both hands, looked left and right, blinked a few times, and said in a different voice:

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you like this?"

Pan You'an's heart became hot, and he thought to himself: Old Huazi still has a conscience, a kind word warms people's hearts!Then he smiled frankly and said:

"What does it look like? I'm fine, it's just an extra pair of ropes."

"Untie my brother!" Hua Shixiong roared, "A bunch of blind dogs!"

A few yamen servants came over and untied the rope in a hurry.

Old Huazi gave another order: "Take a seat and serve tea!"

Pan You'an said: "Lao Huazi, you can't do this, I'm a prisoner!"

Old Huazi ignored him, and said stubbornly: "Brother, don't worry about it, I have the final say today. There are no prisoners here, only brothers, let's chat while drinking."

The yamen servant has become a waiter, and two large teapots with long mouths are filled with water in turn. The teacups on the three teapots contain eight kinds of spring tea, fried dates, longan, rock sugar, raisins, preserved apricots, wolfberries, and walnuts. Also called Babao tea.The desk was covered with fruit cakes.Pan You'an didn't care about the three sevens and twenty ones, he ate and drank, and got half full first.

Master Hu Sanhu, who stood coldly aside, turned into an angry little daughter-in-law, pouted and hung her face, without saying a word.

On the second day, Hu San was supposed to be on duty, and Prime Minister Hu regained his wisdom and courage. He actually made people set up a hot pot in the lobby, with sliced ​​mutton, beef, pork belly, meatballs, tofu, vegetables, etc. Lin Zongzong set up a large table with various condiments, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, garlic slices, etc.Of course, although the lobby is large, there is only one dining table, three charcoal stoves and three dining staff.Others, such as jury officials sent by the imperial court (several ministers, Prince Shaobao, literary scholar, etc.), masters (secretaries), yamen servants, etc., because they are not high enough, can only stand by and watch.

All of a sudden, the trial hall was filled with smoke and a strange smell.The chef invited by Prime Minister Hu was none other than his wife Fat Xi Shi.Wu Xiqin knows the relationship between her husband and Xiao Pan, can she not do her best and take this opportunity to show her brotherhood?

Several Shangshu adults were so greedy that they had never seen such delicious food in their life, and they secretly swore that they would go directly to the restaurant to find hot pot to eat after the class.In fact, it’s useless to go, there is no hot pot in the whole capital, this is Fat Xishi’s ancestral secret recipe, and he is good at it, if you want to eat it, go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion!

Hu San said: "Brother, when you come to Beijing this time, I have no choice but to welcome you here. The hometown flavor cooked by your younger siblings, we take care of both public and private. Xiqin, come out and meet brother."

Fat Xi Shi said a blessing, his eyes turned red, and he called out "Brother", couldn't help it, covered his face with his hands, and hurried back to the back hall (temporarily).

On the third day, Hua Shixiong changed to Beijing roast duck.

Old Huazi said: "Master, big brother, no matter what, this person must not forget his roots. Without your cultivation, would I be where I am today? My old Huazi will not be an official, no, no No, even with this life, I have to protect my brother, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and he can still bite off my - brother? What do you think?"

What Old Huazi said so straightforwardly made Pan Youan feel like waves rolling in his heart. He thought of the little official in Huayang Mansion who made him take off his trousers and make fun of him, and he felt really sorry.Later, Lao Huazi defected to his subordinates, broke into the camp of the rebels, entered the palace of the Huns, and raised his head many times to make a revolution. It can be regarded as Pan You'an for him, for this court, and for the country.Before that, he was somewhat uneasy about Lao Huazi, feeling that this man had too much scheming, unlike Lao Hu, who was honest and honest, while Lao Hua was a little unpredictable.Now it seems that it is true that a filial son comes from a poor family, a loyal minister is found in adversity, and a true brother is known only in adversity. In the past, it seems that his grudge against Lao Huazi was superfluous.Thinking of this, Xiao Pan's heart became hot, and he barely shed a few tears. He stood up and grabbed Hua Shixiong's hands, sighing deeply:

"Brother!" I couldn't finish the words after that.

Old Huazi's eyes were moist, he shook Pan You'an's hands vigorously, and said emotionally: "My brother is in such a catastrophe, brother is still in court, what is this? Ball, I quit, I will go to court tomorrow morning Resign."

Pan You'an stopped him and said, "Brother, oh, Hua Xiangguo, you must not do it. I did not instigate someone to kill me, Prime Minister Hua, so what does this have to do with you? Hua Xiangguo does not forget the old relationship, but also remembers the relationship between our brothers back then." , I am very relieved that my surname is Pan. Brother, you must not resign, if that is the case, I will not recognize you as a brother."

Hua Shixiong got off the donkey along the slope, and sighed: "Since brother said so, I can do nothing but be a poor deputy prime minister for a few more days."

After Hua Shixiong finished speaking, he waved back and said, "Xiao Diao (Jin Zhong), come out and meet Big Brother."

When Diao Lingling came out, she was shocked when she saw Pan You'an. Is there really such a beautiful and handsome man in the world?He also served as a general of soldiers and horses. He is considered to have all the talent, appearance, literature, and martial arts. He was born in Sri Lanka, so what can he ask for?

Diao Lingling also said a blessing, men and women are different, and they are not familiar with each other, so they turned around and left.

For several days in a row, every day.
