The king behind the empress

Chapter 81
Mo Zizai rubbed his brows, feeling a little helpless in his heart, these old guys are really willing to let go, in order to tarnish his reputation, they really don't want any face.

That is to say, there is no Internet in this world, otherwise the news of two third-rank officials scolding each other in the street and insulting the law enforcement officers would make the headlines in an instant, and it would be the headlines worldwide.

"What's the use of earning my notoriety for accumulating money in this way?"

Mo Zizai felt that it was a bit abnormal. Although these ministers were shameless, they were generally very serious in front of the common people. This time, they did not hesitate to show their shame in front of the common people, but also to earn their own notoriety. What exactly were they trying to do?

Notoriety doesn't seem to have any effect on him, so how can anyone dare to come to the capital to eliminate 'harm' for the people?
While Mo Zizai was thinking, Cui You looked at Mo Zizai with longing eyes. When he compared his persuasion just now with Mo Zizai's persuasion, the gap in his heart immediately came out.

Although he didn't have any ideas in his mind that could be replaced by him, some ideas like what a man should be like this must be unavoidable.

It's just that these thoughts just flashed through his mind. After all, his father is not the emperor, his wife is not the emperor, and he doesn't have any family support behind him. If he wants to reprimand a third-rank official like this, he has no hope in this life up.

"Your name is Cui You? The head of the Tianjing Guard?"

Just when Cui You was a little dazed, he suddenly heard Mo Zizai calling him, he was shocked, and quickly replied: "Go back to the prince, Cui You, the next official, but it's not the head of the guard, but the head of the deputy guard."

Mo Zizai glanced at Cui You. He looked about 30 years old, and he looked imposing, but he seemed to be bent down by reality, and bowed to Mo Zizai a little cautiously.

"It doesn't matter whether the head of the guard or the deputy head of the guard."

After looking at it, Mo Zizai withdrew his gaze, and said calmly, "I just want to ask you a question, is your Tianjing Guard under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of Rites?"

Cui You didn't understand what Mo Zizai meant, and after being stunned for a moment, he really thought that Mo Zizai didn't know, so he said honestly: "My lord, my Tianjing Guard is neither under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment nor the Ministry of Rites. , we are Jing Zhaoyin's Zhili guards."

"Since you are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of Rites, why didn't you arrest them when they blocked Suzaku Avenue for more than half an hour?"

Mo Zizai looked at Cui You, and said in a stern tone, "Could it be that your Tianjing Guards are all a bunch of people who eat nothing?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's reprimand, Cui You immediately understood why Mo Zizai asked him who took care of Tianjing Guard, but these were two third-rank officials, how dare he catch them.

Before he could figure out how to make an excuse, Li Zhe and Luo Weisong became anxious. Li Zhe spoke first: "Your Majesty, this old man is here to give you and His Majesty a wedding ceremony..."

"This king asked you to follow the ceremony, did this king ask you to block Suzaku Street?"

Mo Zizai didn't wait for Li Zhe to finish, and interrupted him directly: "According to what you said, if you go to the palace and the Habayashi Army won't let you in, will you still go to the palace to rebel?"

"what?"

Li Zhe was stunned when he was accused of rebellion, "Your Majesty, you can learn from my loyalty to Da Zhou. I definitely don't have the intention of rebelling for a long time!"

Luo Weisong, who was going to follow Li Zhe to defend, suddenly closed his mouth silently. Looking at Li Zhe who was sweating profusely because he was labeled as a rebel, Luo Weisong secretly rejoiced in his heart. Advantages.

Mo Zizai ignored Li Zhe at all. He looked at Cui You and continued, "What? The Tianjing Guard, who is in charge of maintaining law and order in the capital, dare not even arrest anyone?"

"If that's the case, I don't think there is any need for your Tianjing Guard to exist anymore, so I might as well abolish it."

Hearing the word abolishment, Cui You was shocked immediately. If he came out and wiped out Tianjing Guard, Xue Wanche would not have skinned him after returning.

At the moment, he didn't care about the consequences of arresting two third-rank members, and said loudly: "If you dare to arrest, of course you dare to arrest!"

"The Son of Heaven commits...cough cough, even if it is a third-rank official who breaks the law, we will not tolerate it."

As he said that, Cui You directly ordered his subordinates to drive all the servants who were blocking the road, and then quietly looked at Li Zhe and Luo Weisong who were the leaders,
"The two lords have offended you and maliciously blocked the Suzaku Avenue. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will be fined 200 taels of silver and detained for fifteen days. Please let the two lords go with the officials."

When he said these words to Li Zhe and Luo Weisong, Cui You felt an inexplicable joy, and felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

Seeing Mo Zizai, who was determined to arrest him and Li Zhe, Luo Weisong struggled and said, "My lord, we still have to send you a gift into the palace."

"It's okay, I will help you two with this matter, and you can serve your sentence with peace of mind."

Mo Zizai showed a faint smile on his face, and shouted: "Chen Ying, help the two adults to send the accompanying gift to the palace, and let someone register the gift list clearly, so don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, my lord."

Chen Ying, who appeared at some unknown time, replied, and quickly took over Li Zhe and Luo Weisong's carriage with his men.

"This..." Luo Weisong was stunned for a moment, and then continued with some reluctance: "My lord, we are both officials in charge of the hall, and there are many official duties on weekdays..."

"It's okay, it's the same as working in prison."

Mo Zizai waved his hand and said to Cui You: "Cui Weishou, the two adults said that they are busy with business, for the sake of this king, how about giving them some convenience in the prison and letting them work in the prison? "

At this time, no matter what Mo Zizai said, Cui You did not dare to object, so he said without hesitation: "Since the prince has spoken, there is no problem at this time."

"But my lord..."

Luo Weisong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mo Zizai directly, "Why, Master Luo doesn't want to abide by the laws of the Great Zhou just because of his status?"

As soon as Mo Zizai's words fell, Li Zhe said softly next to him: "My lord, according to the old man, he doesn't follow the laws of the Great Zhou, probably because he wants to rebel."

Luo Weisong suddenly became angry, pointed at Li Zhe and cursed loudly: "Old man, how dare you frame me!"

"Shut up, if you want to quarrel, go to the prison!"

Seeing the two people who were about to quarrel again, Mo Zizai interrupted them impatiently. Now he wondered if he was thinking too much.

The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rituals are at odds with each other, so the reason why these two people are so shameless in the street, maybe it is because they have old grievances?Instead of targeting yourself?
But it doesn't make sense, if they didn't premeditate, those people behind wouldn't wait obediently behind, especially when Mo Zizai came just now and saw that old guy from the Ministry of Rites was also in the crowd. Without premeditation, he will honestly let people block his way?
Mo Zizai couldn't figure out what kind of medicine these people were selling in the gourd. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't want to use that brain. Anyway, no matter what kind of plan, it is based on strength. As long as he develops Yu Zhisi, Then no matter what kind of conspiracy there is, it will be of no use to him.

"Cui Weishou, I'll leave this place to you. If anyone dares to block the traffic on Zhuque Street, it's okay to catch one of them, right?"

"Go back to the prince, no problem."

Cui You assured without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I assure you that Suzaku Street will be back to normal soon."

"Well, that's good." Mo Zizai nodded, and then said: "The face is always earned by oneself, not given by others."

"As the Tianjing Guard, as long as you act in accordance with the laws of the Great Zhou, you can make anyone lose face if you don't give you face."

"Some people, he only recognizes the knife but doesn't reason. For such people, you have to show them the knife first, and then they will reason with you."

Mo Zizai looked at Cui You, paused for a moment, and then made a promise, "If you encounter problems in the future when you can't make sense, you can come to me."

After leaving this sentence, Mo Zizai stopped staying and took Zhou Qi back to the palace.

Cui You, on the other hand, looked at Mo Zizai's back in a daze, not understanding what Mo Zizai's last words meant.

"What do you mean when reasoning doesn't make sense?"
