Chapter 198 Public opinion is raging

Palace, outside Sima Gate.

All the civil and military officials who were waiting for the court meeting were ordered by the marquis here and prepared to enter the palace.

A man about 36 or 7 years old, wearing a Jinxian crown and a black civil servant wardrobe, holding a fluoren plate in his hand, came to Wang Yun respectfully.

"I've met my uncle."

Wang Yun frowned slightly: "How many times have you said that when you are not at home, you should call each other as your official positions. How can you allow you to meet here when you meet in the palace gate?"

The man quickly corrected: "Nephew...oh no, the official should follow his teachings."

"Yeah." Wang Yun nodded slightly, looked straight ahead, and his body was standing straight, and his court uniform was spotless and obviously had ironed before going out.

The man continued, "The Xiaguan Duomeng Taishi was promoted to the prefect of Hongnong, with great kindness and virtue, and never forget it."

This person is Wang Yun's cousin's nephew, named Ma Heng, and his courtesy name is Qingping. Seven years ago, he was recommended as a scholar by the Wang family in Taiyuan and was able to become an official. Half a month ago, after the former Hongnong Prefect died of illness, Wang Yun recommended him to succeed him.

Wang Yun still had a serious expression and said calmly: "I am a wise man for the country, and this is a great emperor's kindness. You should serve the court. What kind of me do I have?"

Ma Heng nodded repeatedly and said yes, then stood closer and said softly: "At the meeting later, the officials must do their best to act according to the plan and ensure..."

"Huh?" Wang Yun had a stern look to stop him from continuing. Ma Heng knew that he was too polite, so he immediately kept silent and stood aside respectfully.

Wang Yun's eyes were half open and half closed, and under his obscure gaze, a cunning look flashed away.

"I have been planning for many years, and today is the day of success. Your Highness, don't blame the old minister for being cruel. You are just blamed for being young and innocent, and you are tempted by the old minister..."

At this time, the heavy Sima door slowly opened, and the ministers immediately raised their spirits.

Gong Saner waved the whisk and walked out of the palace gate. Just as the ministers were waiting for his words "the ministers entered the palace", he heard him clear his throat and then shouted.

"Your Majesty is in good health today. I will stop working for two days. I don't have to wait."

After saying that, he turned his head and was about to leave. The shocked ministers hurriedly surrounded him.

"Shi Shi Gong, why did Your Majesty suddenly get sick?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has always been healthy. What disease did you have? Have you ever hired an imperial physician?"

"Your Majesty has been ascending the throne for many years and has never stopped the court. Why is this ordinary disease of slimness?"

"Now the Sun Thief in the south is ready to move. The Silk Road is new, and everything is in chaos. The pirates in the east and the southern barbarians in Shu all have images of chaos. How can Your Majesty abandon the state affairs and ignore them?"

Gong Saner glanced around them and smiled slightly: "Our family is just an eunuch. We don't understand the affairs of the government and state, and we dare not argue. However, when Your Majesty was sleeping in Xinjie Concubine Palace last night, he suddenly fainted. Although it was not serious, the imperial physician said it was caused by excessive labor. Our family was just coming to pass the imperial edict. If you want to find out, you might as well ask the imperial edict to enter the palace, meet the saint in person, and ask for it clearly."

After leaving such a sentence, Gong Saner didn't care about the ministers' reactions and turned around and returned to the palace gate.

A bunch of ministers quickly surrounded Wang Yun.

"Trial Master, what does Your Majesty mean? Could it be that he has noticed it?"

"Yes, I'll wait for a long time to prepare, but I can't fail."

Wang Yun also frowned, thinking about it in his heart, but he couldn't understand the emperor's intention.

The emperor must have known about Liu Zheng leaving the palace to kill people last night. Is it a delayed strategy for two days now?

Wang Yun shook his head, unable to think of the reason in his heart, but in front of all the ministers who followed his horse, he had to look calm.

"Don't worry, you all have any problems. Since your Majesty is ill, we will do our own jobs and come to court again in two days. Let's go back."

After saying that, he left quickly.

Seeing this, the ministers looked at each other and finally had to disperse.

Lu Zhi, Cui Lie and others not far away looked at the movement here, and were all ridiculous.

"Mr. Lu, how do you think His Majesty will deal with this? Why can't Cui understand it?"

Lu Zhi twisted his gray beard and smiled and said, "Why should the Grand Tutor worry about this? Your Majesty has his own destiny, and we will just follow the orders. The emperor made a wise and decisive decision and had his own tricks."

Zhong Yao, who was standing beside him, joked: "Mr. Lu is now calm. I don't know who was the one who received a joint letter from private schools, hundreds of mountain leaders and hundreds of great scholars from all over the country, was shocked and angry, and smashed the teapot in his hand that he had just come from Huangfu's nephew."

Lu Zhi's face was embarrassed: "Yuan Changxiang has a reputation as a loyal elder, but he has become so vicious today, but it has a bit of a favor. It seems that the Tingwei is really not a good place to go."

Cai Yong laughed loudly: "Okay, OK, Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhong, will it hurt your demeanor when the palace gates are quarreling? Isn't it a shame for me to write a new book yesterday? I have nothing to do with you. Please come and review it, how about it?"

"Okay. Bo Yi's calligraphy has been approved by His Majesty's Golden Mouth. It is the best in the world. How can I miss it? Go with you together..."

In the south city of Luoyang, the Miao family members were in Zhu Ye’s mansion. After all, they were a guest residence. Moreover, the gap between their identities was too big, which made the family inevitably feel restrained everywhere. Therefore, they left the mansion and went to the street where they used to set up stalls to find old friends and chat to relax.

"Old Miao..."

Afar, someone recognized the Miao family and greeted him.

Miao's father smiled happily and immediately pulled his family to meet him. Several vendors who set up stalls also immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Oh, Lao Miao, you haven't come some days. What's the matter? Could it be that you have made a fortune and just left your brothers behind? Hahaha..."

Miao's father smiled and said, "What did Brother Qin say? How could I have that lucky luck?"

Another man said, "Why didn't you? Everyone has heard that your daughter has deep affection with His Highness the Great Prince. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t

"Yes, Lao Miao, why did you hide this from the old brother? Your Majesty is a wise monarch, Your Highness, and we also heard that he is a young hero. Hey, your daughter looks so handsome and has a very good temperament. Judging from her figure, hey, she is a seed that can give birth to a son. After entering the palace and making a side room for the eldest prince, it will be a glory and wealth, and you can't enjoy it all."

"That's right, don't forget to support us brothers at that time."

The group of people talked lively, Miao Juan's face was already blushing, but Miao's father felt a little proud of their words.

If I were an ordinary man, if I could really get into a relative with the royal family, and if I was a prince with both civil and military appearance, and a pure personality, not to mention being a side room or just being a dowry girl, it would be a smoke from the ancestral grave.

But at this moment, a harsh voice came over.

"Is there really such a ungrateful thing? Do toads also want to eat swan meat? You rural men want to climb to the royal family, so you really don't know what shame."

This voice immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Miao family and several vendors present.

"Who? Which bastard is gossiping behind his back?" The middle-aged man, who was called "Brother Qin" by Miao's father, looked around in anger, trying to find out the source of the sound.

"It's what I said, how dare you, a mere village man, speak rudely to me?"

A young man wearing a brocade robe, a jade belt, and a long sword walked out of the street more than ten steps away, and behind him were several men in similar clothes.

When Lao Qin saw the appearance and dress of these people, he knew that the other party must be a family member. He was afraid that he would not be able to provoke him, so he couldn't help but become a little scared.

Seeing his attitude, the other party was extremely rampant. He walked forward and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha... A few ignorant village men, in broad daylight, dare to talk nonsense here, really make a laughing at me, haha..."

When Miao's father saw the other person's appearance, he was inevitably a little cowardly, but Miao's mother was immediately furious and opened her mouth and scolded her without caring about the other person's identity.

"Bah! I just think that the cat and dog are farting here. They are just a few little thieves who are not dry. What are you? My man and daughter, I scold you myself, why do you scold me? I dare to say something more, I tear your stinky mouths!"

Those young people claimed to be gentle and never did such a quarrel with a shrew in the street market. When Miao's mother scolded her, she immediately became so angry that she was filled with smoke from her orifices.

"You...you are so stupid, how dare you..."

"I'm a foolish woman, so what? I'm a rural woman, why are you afraid of embarrassment? But you little thieves are dressed like a pretty man. How can you use that word? The mother monkey has something in her ears? Is it water in her head?"

A young man jumped out: "What kind of female monkey? That's the monkey-like crown. You are a village woman who doesn't know big words, so don't talk nonsense here. We are all children of the Imperial College, and you are from famous families. You..."

Miao's mother gave the man a blank look: "Yoyo... what about the famous children? You wild monkeys who have been fooled into sucking water, pretending to be so gentle, but there is no human word in their mouths. I have seen many scholars, and those elegant and handsome, and singular, are you like this? Which famous family can raise children like you? I think this famous family is not as good as Ergouzi's family in our village."

"Hahaha..." Miao's mother's words made many merchants around laugh.

Most of these merchants are acquainted with the Miao family and are dissatisfied with these rude young people. Now Miao’s mother’s words are so hard that they can’t resist. Everyone is naturally happy to watch the fun and take the opportunity to teach these guys a lesson.

At this time, one of the young people who had been standing behind stood up.

He smiled and bowed to all directions, looking extremely elegant.

Then, facing the Miao people, this person said, "You are polite. In the Lower Plain Ni Yuan, my classmates just now were angry and offended. I apologized to them on behalf of them."

As soon as he reported to his house, several people around him exclaimed.

"Ni Yuan, it turned out to be him..."

Brother Qin pulled someone beside him and asked curiously: "Who is this kid? Do you know him?"

The merchant hurriedly explained, "Brother, don't you know? In the fifth house of the Imperial Academy, the famous figure in the Scholar Academy, the second son of the Ni family in Pingyuan County, has not only ranked among the top in the Imperial Academy for many years, but also has great eloquence and an eloquent tongue. He is said to have no rivals in the Imperial Academy."

Another person beside him said, "He is nothing. When it comes to eloquence, his elder brother Ni Heng can be regarded as a masterpiece in the world. It is rumored that even Huangfu Han, who no one dared to mess with in the Imperial Academy, was speechless by him."

"Hiss..." Brother Qin was also very shocked: "It was the younger brother of that guy Ni Heng? Although we had no chance to see him in a debate last year, we heard so much, which caused a sensation in the capital. This person is Ni Heng's brother and a famous family, why did he come out to make things difficult for Brother Miao and the others?"

Everyone around them shook their heads.

"Oh, it seems that there are many people who can't stand the matter between Lao Miao and the Great Emperor. Everyone thinks about it and help them leave Sili as soon as possible and make a living elsewhere."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, thinking that this was the only way out.
