Chapter 404: The Governor
In front of everyone, the three of them were tied up and pressed to the yamen. The people around them pointed at them along the way.
Tang Bao wanted to get his face into the gap on the ground at this time. It was so embarrassing. Since he was a child, he had never been treated like this? If the princess knew about this, how could he meet her in the future?
When Tang Bao thought of Princess Yunjue, a resentment suddenly popped up in his heart. He glared at Cao Jun beside him and whispered: "It depends on your bad idea!"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Cao Jun said naughtyly.
At these times, he felt a little regretful and was too impulsive. He should have brought more guards in advance, otherwise he would not have no power to fight back and ended up in such an embarrassing situation. I don’t know if he would be beaten by the old man after he went back.
"If you hadn't encouraged the prince, would we become like this now?"
Tang Bao's feminine handsome face showed a hint of flushing due to excitement, which made Cao Jun's mind shake.
He quickly turned his face and retorted: "In a few days, we will be in the Imperial Guard. Didn't I kindly mention it? Take more experts to avoid being bullied when you go in."
When Taizu established the country, it was established that after all the royal children and nobles, they must enter the Imperial Guard Army for three years, otherwise their identity and inheritance rights will be deprived.
This rule is originally intended to train the abilities of the royal family and nobles, so that they can become pillars of the country in the future.
But to this day, although the regulations remain unchanged, the powerful imperial guards at that time have changed a lot, from a strong army to a place for nobles to compete and gilt. There are dragons and snakes mixed together, and the nobles in them have continued to fight for their own personal struggles in order to compete for strength.
In this case, newcomers have only two choices to join the Imperial Guard. One is to join one party and become an affiliate of others, and the other is to rely on their own strength to become one party.
As the prince of the King of Chu, Li Dan will naturally not be willing to stay under others in the future, so he has been looking for masters these days, taking them under his sect to prepare for entering the Imperial Guard.
"No, Cao Jun, have you recognized the other party as King Zhenxi?"
Although Tang Bao's emotional intelligence is not high, he is not stupid. Now, after thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Cao Jun was panicked and shook his head and cried, "Tang Bao, what do you mean? How could I do such a thing that hurts my brother?"
"This is not certain. From childhood to adulthood, are there fewer things that the prince and I have been implicated by you?"
Tang Bao said sarcastically.
"Then, you're causing a lot of trouble."
"Not much for you."
"What does this have to do with how much?"
The two of them started to quarrel.
Compared to the two of them being noisy, Li Dan walking in front was a little strangely quiet. Since he was tied up, he had been acting very dull, but no one noticed his drooping face, which seemed ferocious at this time.
"Okay, stop me!"
Li Dan shouted softly, and the noise of the two made him feel even more annoyed.
Seeing the prince Li Dan get angry, the two of them immediately closed their mouths. Since childhood, this guy has been a lunatic. When he gets angry, his best choice is to stay away from him.
In this way, the three of them were taken to the prefectural office.
The prefect of the capital is a very important position. It is a third-rank rank and is given a silver seal. The qualification to undertake complaints from all over the country is only a simple function. In addition to managing the public security and government affairs of the capital, the prefect of the capital also has a joint mission with six ministries and can go directly to the palace to face the king.
If the prefect is strong enough, he will have the ability to pass the emperor, influence, change, or even completely overturn the resolutions of many yamen in Beijing. Being able to interfere in the affairs of many yamen at the same time is not considered overstepping power.
Therefore, the person who can take this position will definitely not be a simple character. This prefect Lu Qing, the governor, is a selfless and strong person.
"What's going on?"
The guards in front of the gate saw the three people tied up in big colors and looked shocked.
"Don't ask so much. I am Chu Bing, the Foreigner of the Ministry of Rites. Take me to see Lord Lu!"
Chu Bing's face was full of anxiousness.
"Please follow me!"
The guard hesitated for a moment, and finally led Chu Bing inside.
Chu Bing took a few steps, suddenly turned around and said to Jinyiwei who was escorting the three of them: "Why don't you go inside first? What if I decide when I meet Lord Lu?"
"No, I won't go in, you guys let me go!"
Tang Bao suddenly struggled. In Beijing, Lu Qing was the one he didn't want to meet the most. This was because Lu Qing was not only his father's friend, but also his mentor.
No one knows the character of this teacher better than him. He is stubborn, rigid, and ruthless. Once he enters this door, it will not be so easy to get out.
"Yes, let me go, I did nothing, why are you trying to catch me?"
Cao Jun also began to struggle. Although he was not a student of Lu Qing, he had heard of this iron-faced Yan Luo. If possible, he would rather be broken by the old man than enter the gate of the prefectural yamen.
Not only the two of them, but even Li Dan was a little panicked at this time.
“Dadadadada······”
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind. When Li Dan heard this, his face suddenly relaxed.
"Please stay!"
A middle-aged man in silk rushed over with a large group of guards.
Seeing the middle-aged man, Chu Bing quickly walked up to him and saluted: "You have met Lord Cao!"
The middle-aged man was Cao Shan, the elder brother of the Princess of Chu, and was also the Minister of Works.
"Mr. Chu, is there any misunderstanding?"
Cao Shan was originally a guest at the King of Chu's Mansion, but received the news that Li Dan committed an offensive crime in the street and was sent to the prefectural office by the people from the King of Zhenxi. He immediately rushed over without stopping.
"Mr. Cao, the officials cannot make decisions about this matter. The officials are just running errands now."
Chu Bing hurriedly separated his ties.
Cao Shan frowned and walked to the Jinyiwei. He looked at his nephew first, and after finding the wound on his neck, his face changed suddenly, suppressing his anger, and asked, "Who can make the decision?"
“·······”
Looking at the wooden Jinyiwei, Cao Shan suppressed his anger, "What's going on? Are you mute when you ask me? I've heard from the people below about this. The prince accidentally bumped into the King of Zhenxi. This is a misunderstanding. Please give the King of Chu's Mansion a face. Let's just let this matter go. Another day, I'll ask the prince to come to the door and apologize to the King of Zhenxi."
After saying that, he was about to reach out to pull Li Dan, but was stopped by a long knife.
Cao Shan's arm froze, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and the guards of the royal palace who were also around him also pulled out weapons and surrounded the Jinyiwei.
