travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 72
As soon as Zhao Zilong appeared at the gate of the household department, he was surrounded by hundreds of Beijing officials.

Zhao Fei dressed up in disguise, dressed in ordinary official attire, and blended into the turbulent crowd.

Originally, Zhao Fei was worried that he would come late and that he would attract attention if he mixed in with the crowd, but in fact, the news of Zhao Zilong's return to the Yamen might have spread. .

All of a sudden, the household department yamen was full of voices.

Zhao Zilong looked at the crowd in front of him with a wry smile. He knew that Zhao Fei was also in the crowd, but with so many people and such chaos, he really didn't know where Zhao Fei was.

It was precisely because Zhao Fei was mixed in with the crowd that the usual means and words to dismiss these people could not be used.

"You group of green skins, why are you making such a fuss about the yamen of the household department? Do you still have an official body, and do you want to wear this official skin on your body..."

Seeing that his boss came back, Hubu's official spoke loudly. Seeing that Zhao Zilong's face was a little ugly, one of the officials immediately yelled fiercely at the surrounding Beijing officials.

Zhao Zilong's complexion turned pale when he heard the official's roar, but he knew that Zhao Fei was in the crowd, this official was not yelling at the officials in Beijing, he was clearly yelling at the emperor.

Scold the emperor?
Zhao Zilong's face was pale. Just thinking about this kind of thing made him a little worried that his family would be ransacked, let alone actually do it.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Zilong yelled at Lang Guan, then with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said to the onlookers who were making trouble, "My lords, Zhao has just come back and still doesn't understand many things. To understand what happened, I must give everyone an explanation.”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zilong glared at Lang Guan who had yelled before, and then entered the yamen with a few confidantes.

Although the troublemakers here knew that it was difficult to get anything from Zhao Zilong's mouth, they were quite surprised by Zhao Zilong's attitude.

At that moment, a middle-aged official wondered: "Master Zhao has changed his temper today or has become obsessed. Why does he have such a good attitude towards us?"

"I don't know." The other replied, "I think it's because we have a lot of people, so our attitude has become much better."

"How could it be because of the large number of people? The last time we gathered was no less than now, and Mr. Zhao didn't show any kindness to us. His complexion is so good today. It must be strange."

"I know Mr. Zhao seems to have just returned from the palace. Could it be that His Majesty has some intentions."

"Your Majesty has a will? This may be true, but His Majesty is in the inner palace, and he has been deceived by these adults. Presumably, if His Majesty knows our difficulties, he will definitely stand by our side."

"Your Majesty is naturally wise!"

At this time, another mellow voice interjected: "I heard that Mr. Zhao and several adults seem to be quite dissatisfied with me and others who often come to make troubles. They suggested that we should all be dismissed. I don't know if we should relax this time for now. Our enthusiasm, wait for things to calm down before pulling the list!"

"Get rid of us?" One person sneered, "Although most of us are the lowest-ranking officials in the capital, without us, the capital would be in chaos."

Beside Zhao Fei, a group of Beijing officials cursed out of righteous indignation.

But what made Zhao Fei feel a little gratified was that none of these scolding voices were scolding himself, they were all scolding the most powerful adults in the imperial court.

It seems that I am still quite prestigious in the government and the opposition?

Zhao Fei thought with some complacency, then stretched out his hand to grab the sleeve of a Beijing official beside him, cupped his hands and said, "My lord is well, this is the first time I have come here with you lords, I am a little worried, I don't know if I Whether the behavior of waiting will offend the Holy Majesty."

The Beijing official who was held back by Zhao Fei, from his tone, had already participated in such actions several times. Seeing Zhao Fei's sincerity, he asked, "Which Yamen does my brother belong to?"

brother?

Zhao Fei was taken aback for a moment, do these officials even call each other brothers?
Seeing Zhao Fei's puzzled face, the Beijing official immediately smiled and said, "My name is Wang Yi, and I am a lieutenant under the Ministry of War. I used to be a soldier. Although I have joined the Ministry of War now, the old habits are hard to get rid of. Brother, you Don't mind."

Was he a soldier?
Zhao Fei was stunned, and said: "Brother is a senior, and brother Guan is the generation who is so righteous, so I don't care about it."

"Hehe, you are very good at talking." Wang Yi laughed and said, "Little brother is a little worried?"

"Yes, I just heard from some adults that it seems that Master Zhao is going to report us all to the Holy One. I'm worried..." Zhao Fei nodded and looked at Wang Yi worriedly.

Wang Yi shook his head and said: "Little brother, you can tell at a glance that this is the first time you have participated in such an operation. In fact, there is no need to worry. There are many ways to do it. The most you can do is to tell His Majesty that you are dissatisfied with the Beijing officials. The treatment caused trouble in his yamen, but he dared not tell the actual situation."

"The actual situation?" Zhao Fei was stunned and said, "Isn't it because the court defaulted on my salary, leaving me with no money to eat?"

"Little brother, you are still too young, how can it be so simple here." Wang Yi chuckled, pointed to a few people who spoke loudly in the crowd, and said, "Didn't you realize that the most lovable dancers here are those few?" ?”

"They?" Zhao Fei also noticed that the few people Wang Yi was referring to seemed to have been fanning the flames among the crowd.

"En." Wang Yi nodded.

Zhao Fei immediately cupped his hands and said, "Please teach me, brother."

"There is nothing to teach," Wang Yidao: "You only need to point out that most of us here are poor people who have been owed wages. How can we people have the guts to come to the yamen of the household department to make trouble."

"This... I don't understand, brother." Zhao Fei was immediately puzzled. Hearing what Wang Yi meant, didn't they come here to make trouble?

Wang Yi was also a little confused today. At first, he just felt that Zhao Fei was kind-hearted, so he couldn't help but raised a few words. Who knew that the more he talked, the more he wanted to say. Seeing Zhao Fei still looking like he was asking for advice, he couldn't help but He sighed and said: "We people just follow some people to come to this yamen to beat the autumn wind!"

"Hit the autumn wind?" Zhao Fei was getting more and more confused by what Wang Yi said.

Seeing that Zhao Fei still had a puzzled expression on his face, Wang Yi sighed in his heart, he was very entangled in whether some words should be said or not, but what still made Wang Yi a little strange was that facing Zhao Fei, Wang Yi always felt that these words Better to say it.

Today is really evil!
Wang Yi cursed secretly in his heart, he is also a cheerful person, seeing that Zhao Fei was still puzzled, he pointed to the teahouse outside the door and said: "Master Zhao on the left and right don't know when he will come out, so you and I will go Let's talk about the teahouse!"

Is this the autumn wind hitting my buddy on the head?
Zhao Fei was stunned again, for some days he had no lover for tea or dinner.

As an emperor, he was only invited to dinner by others, so there was no time for him to invite others to dinner.

But this is not the time to care about these things. Looking at Wang Yi like this, he seems to know a lot of things, so Zhao Fei doesn't care about such things that don't give him face.

In the teahouse, Wang Yi asked for a private room, entered the room, and then said with a smile: "Don't blame elder brother for asking you to spend money today, it's because there are so many people out there, if you accidentally say something that shouldn't be said If you go out, you and I will be in great trouble today."

"What's the matter, big brother? Since big brother is rewarding you, what's a mere private room?" Zhao Fei hurriedly called Wang Yi to sit down, waited for the little one to serve tea, Wang Yi closed the door very carefully, and then smiled at Zhao Fei: " Don't blame me for being careful, there are too many eyes and ears in this teahouse, so I have to be careful."

Zhao Fei didn't care about Wang Yi's actions, the more careful Wang Yi was, the more it showed that he had something in his stomach.

Poured a glass of water for Wang Yi himself, Zhao Fei cupped his hands and asked for advice: "Please teach me, brother."

Wang Yi took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "Little brother, I saw that you are a stranger, and I saw that you are very sincere, so I told you some things that should not be said, but you should also remember, These words come out of my mouth and into your ears, but they can’t let other people know.”

"Yes, younger brother must follow the teachings of elder brother, so that this matter is known to everyone." Zhao Fei promised.

Wang Yi was very satisfied with Zhao Fei's attitude, put down his teacup, sighed and said, "Little brother, do you feel that life is not easy now?"

"Brother said so, but younger brother naturally has everything to say. To be honest, the salary is really low." Zhao Fei also sighed.

"Not to mention, I wanted to be an official before I became an official, but I didn't want to be an official after I became an official. But it is very difficult to make this decision if I want to be an official." Wang Yi sighed: "Everyone wants to be an official. Well, we also know that being an official is good, but being an official depends on what kind of official you are. Ordinary officials like you and me can barely make ends meet. I want to go on, but I want to become the official that everyone imagines one day."

"Yes." Zhao Fei had never been an official before. He was the head of all the officials for the first time. It was difficult for him to understand Wang Yi's words, but it was not difficult for him to put on a sympathetic expression.

"Little brother, looking at your appearance, I think you have been an official for a long time, so you should be different from those people." Wang Yi followed the window, but pointed at several officials who were shouting in the courtyard of the household department.

"This..." Zhao Fei immediately cast doubtful eyes on Wang Yi.

Wang Yi didn't hesitate, so he carefully explained some details to Zhao Fei. The two of them served three pots of tea in a row, and Wang Yi just kept his mouth shut.

"So they have ulterior motives, or were used by others, or were forced to do so, or fished in troubled waters, or took advantage of the excitement, so they gathered in the courtyard of the household department?" Zhao Fei sat on the chair, frowning lightly. jumped up.

"Yes." Although Wang Yi felt that Zhao Fei's attitude had become a little strange, he didn't take it to heart, and said casually: "This time the leaders were forced to do nothing by usury, so they called friends They came to the Ministry of Households to make trouble, and they are also sure about the current situation of the court. The lords of the court will never do anything to them. As for the future, they will not be able to get through now. Who cares about the future? By the way, brother, I just remembered It seems that I have never asked which yamen you belong to?"

"That's it! As for which yamen I belong to?" Zhao Fei nodded first, then chuckled, then stood up suddenly, and said, "Wang Yi knelt down to accept the order!"

"What?" Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, then froze for a moment, then immediately jumped up, rushed to Zhao Fei, covered Zhao Fei's mouth and said, "Little brother, don't talk nonsense, you don't want to live anymore, brother, I'm going to kill you." I want to live."

It was only for a moment, but several figures suddenly appeared in the box, and a sharp long knife was directly placed on Wang Yi's neck.

"Bold lunatic, put down your majesty quickly, and forgive you the crime of extermination!" Chu Xuan pushed the door and entered, looked at Wang Yi coldly, and then knelt down at Zhao Fei's feet.

"Chen Chuxuan's escort came late, please forgive me!"

"Uh... this is not real, I am definitely dreaming!"

Wang Yi was dumbfounded, let go of Zhao Fei, and collapsed on the ground.
