13. Lu Zhi presented the Book of Filial Piety
At this time, the emperor was dancing on the imperial letter, and waved the name of the new Minister of Rites, and then asked the slap beside him to hand Meng Guangcheng into Yu Gongyi's hands.
Yu happily worshiped and then opened it to see.
It was said that "Lu Jiu came from Songshan."
It was like a thunderclap, Yu Gongyi's face was pale and his hands were shaking constantly.
Yes, he almost forgot that Lu Zhi was already convinced!
It’s not that he was forgetful, but that Lu Zhi was so low-key during the 25 months of mourning. He had been living in Fengle Temple in Songshan. Although there were countless gifts from Fangzhen on all sides, he had nothing to do. He only received two gifts from Jieshi, namely Wei Gao and Gao Yue. Because Lu Zhi was too honest in his previous official, he had to pay for the funeral, so the cost of the funeral could only rely on the help of two people. However, Wei Gao’s gift was just a matter of simplicity. With such a calm and gentle atmosphere, Lu Zhi had already reached the point of obscurity in the struggles of the court this year.
But the emperor still did not forget it.
Lu Zhi is going to return to the court.
Yu Gongyi was afraid and was so scared that he was the courage of Li Sheng in the temple. Later, because Li Sheng favored his son-in-law and seized his own article, Yu Gongyi was deeply dissatisfied with him and surrendered to Zhang Yanshang. After Zhang lost power, he immediately surrendered to Dou Shen, and took advantage of Lu Zhi's worry to seize the seat of Lu's Hanlin Chengzhi Bachelor.
I was originally planning to replace Zheng Wei as the Minister of Rites, and I learned to have a tribute for two or three years, and to receive support students to build a stable future career, but who would have thought...
When Lu Zhi comes back, will he still have good fruits to eat?
But the emperor on the rope bed, like a cat who was only in high spirits and playing with the mouse in his palm, asked again, "The Hanlin Academy immediately gave a reply to the order." After saying that, he moved another piece of hemp paper and wrote it.
Even my bachelor’s degree cannot be preserved!
Yu Gongyi shook like a sieve, and his head touched the floor, cold and cold, just like his mood at the moment, as cold as an ice cellar.
Soon Meng Guangcheng approached and held another imperial note with the name written in his hand. Yu Gongyi's eyes trembled. He didn't want to read it, but he had to wait.
The name of the new Hanlin Chengzhi Bachelor on the imperial letter is Wei Zhiyi, the magistrate of Nanzheng County, Xingyuan Prefecture.
At this moment, something seemed to fall from Yu Gongyi's stomach, and his mind was blank. He could not hear what the emperor said or what the officials said. The beams, pillars and screens in the palace had no glory and all turned into gray colors.
I don’t know how long it took, but Meng Guangcheng repeatedly woke him up and told him to leave.
"You!" Yu Gongyi shouted in pain, but found that the emperor had left, and there was an empty rope bed in the misty fragrance.
"Master Yu, go back. After all, the Holy Lord still regrets your talent. When you arrive at the local area, you must be careful in your words and actions." Meng Guangcheng's words actually declared the death of Yu Gongyi's political life, but Meng Dun paused, sighed, and then said something in his words, "But you will understand immediately that Master Yu is definitely lucky."
On that day, Yu Gongyi was expelled from the Hanlin Academy, for "handing over the powerful and revealing the king's words", and there was another even more terrifying thing, for "unfilial service to parents" - in ancient society, it was equivalent to depriving all the parties involved of their qualifications to engage in politics and deal with the world.
The punishment for public and strangers was to be demoted to join the army of Sihu, Tingzhou, Fujian.
That's the end of his life.
What's even worse is that Yu Gongyi promised to be the Minister of Rites and was a tribute candidate before the incident, and boasted that he would be the chief officer to submit an examination. He had already used Dou Shen and Dou Rong as intermediaries to receive many treasure bribes from royal relatives and powerful people. Now he dared not lead them on the road, nor dared to retreat. He could only throw them in the toilet of the house before he set off on the road.
Then Yu Gongyi was afraid of revenge by the bribers, and was afraid that the court would investigate him. He was as anxious as a dog who was stranded from the capital and came to Baqiao.
On the red Ba Bridge, Lu Zhi, who had received the emperor's secret edict in advance, happened to come on a horse. When he met Yu Gongyi, Lu Zhi said to him coldly:
"I used to be in the same yard, and my subordinates once said that Lingtang (Yu Gongyi's stepmother) was seriously ill. I wonder what's going on now?"
Yu Gongyi was ashamed and regretful, and wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into it.
When his stepmother was seriously ill or even died, he never went back, let alone mourning.
Seeing Yu Gongyi's appearance, Lu Zhi became even more disgusted and asked the servant to take out a book from his box, saying that he would go to Tingzhou and there was nothing to give to him. He asked him to accept this book, and it would be helpful to read it.
After Lu Zhi left, Yu Cai dared to untie the book, but saw two big characters at the beginning of the book, "Book of Filial Piety".
"Yu Gongyi was released from Tingzhou!"
In Dou Shen's house, Dou Rong hurried from the censorate and told Xi Xi that this bolt from the blue. No matter how stupid the magpie was, he knew the benefits and harms. He was immediately shocked that his limbs were cold and he almost collapsed on the ground.
"Brother, what are you doing now?" Dou Rong cried.
Dou Shen didn't care. What he didn't know was that the emperor had secretly asked the people who were patrolling the city to control and monitor the post road from Taiyuan to Chang'an. The letter from his father Dou Shen could not be delivered to him at all, and he was a deaf and blind man.
At this time, the door of the partition was pushed open. Shangqing, who heard this, walked out pale and suggested: "The two of you are now rushing to the palace with thorns and carrying thorns. You cannot pass the hand of anyone to confess your own death sentence in front of the Holy Lord. If the Holy Lord asks about the crime, the two of you insist that you are just greedy for money and accepts Fang Zhen's bribe. You must never say that you have anything to the Hanlin Academy and Shenwei Army..."
As a result, before Shangqing could finish his speech, Dou Shen, who was furious, slapped Shangqing with his healthy left hand, "How dare you do this?"
Shangqing cried out in a mournful voice, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he was meditated on the ground.
Then Dou Shen scattered all the anger caused by incompetence on the weak Shangqing, grabbed Shangqing's bun, kicked and kicked it hard with his boots, and cursed endlessly. Even Dou Rong was so scared that he stood aside and froze.
Fortunately, Shangqing was also smart. She covered her abdomen and intimidated Dou Shen, "If you beat me to death today, I will also appeal to the Secretariat and pursue your life underground; if I don't beat me to death, I will immediately enter the Daming Palace and leave you. I will try my best to be in the ward, and I will see you die first!"
This statement was indeed effective, and it scared the brothers Dou Shen and Dou Rong to retreat repeatedly.
"Bah!" Shangqing tried his best to spray blood foam on the corner of Dou Shen's clothes, then leaned against the locust tree in the courtyard, laughing loudly.
"Brother, she's crazy, she's crazy." Dou Rongxian shouted in despair.
Unexpectedly, when the disaster came, even a merely humble concubine had the courage to counterattack.
Dou Shen didn't care about beating Shangqing anymore, but just asked the slave to kill Shangqing and buried it in the backyard. Then he didn't look at the specific implementation. The two brothers ran out of the house like headless flies.
At this time, the twilight of Chang'an City surged, and the sound of bleak drums came.
