Department of Accounts——
Shangshu Wang Wenjin saw the official seal folded on the table and smiled secretly: "Although he is late in wisdom, he is also somewhat self-aware."
At the same time in the cabinet, Yaxiang Zuo Fengyuan picked up a memorial and looked at it, then said to the chief minister Liang Jing: "Mr. Liang Ge, Ye Ling resigned and left!"
Liang Jing glanced at him lightly, said nothing, then closed his eyes to rest.
…
On the streets, Ye Ling was walking among the crowd. Now that he had regained his cultivation, he had more important things to do. The officialdom was not his destination after all.
As they were walking, they saw a commotion on the street. Armored soldiers coming from the north lined up on both sides, clearing the road and not allowing people on both sides to approach.
Immediately afterwards, flags were fluttering, colorful clouds were crossing the sky, and a royal chariot, surrounded by people, slowly drove forward and stopped on the road. But I saw the divine phoenix spread out high on the chariot, and the red embroidered silver curtains, which were not like those used by men.
A well-informed and talkative person on the side said: "This should be the phoenix chariot used by the noble concubines in the palace, but I don't know why it is standing in the street?"
Not long after, I saw another group of people coming from the north, holding the silent avoidance sign high, the gong opened the way, and a large sedan stopped in front of the chariot.
Beside him was Ji Changfeng in red, standing with a sword in his hand, his expression solemn. Seeing this scene, he stepped forward and shouted: "I have ordered the imperial envoy, Lord Song, to leave the capital, but the rest of the people are still waiting for you to step out of the way quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace servant holding a fly whisk in one hand beside the chariot smiled slightly and said: "The imperial concubine is here, why don't you come and pick her up!"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Changfeng frowned and was speechless.
Behind him, Song Zheng, who was wearing a black robe with gold embroidery, stepped out, walked to the chariot and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, Song Zheng, has seen the noble concubine!"
"Master Song, no courtesy!"
I don't see him, I just hear his voice, but it's like the oriole's joyful cry, the silver bell is crisp and clear, and it lingers around the beam for three days without getting tired of it.
Song Zheng said: "I am on official business, please give way to the noble concubine!"
"How presumptuous!" shouted a palace man on the side: "Who do you think you are, how dare you ask the imperial concubine to give way to you!"
In the chariot, the imperial concubine said: "Master Song, if you say so, it's up to you to give in!"
Song Zheng's face darkened and he said: "The imperial court has laws and the country has regulations. I am an imperial envoy with an order. I can only leave the city from now on, otherwise my name will be unfair and my words will not go smoothly."
The imperial concubine smiled slightly: "That being the case, Mr. Song might as well quit his job and let someone else go."
"this……"
Song Zheng's heart was as clear as a mirror. The imperial concubine blocking the road was Liang Yu, the daughter of Liang Jingyi, the current chief minister of the cabinet. That Lu Zhoumu was her brother, which was obviously a threat.
Ji Changfeng walked up to Song Zheng and saw Song Zheng wave his hand. He immediately understood and took out the purple gold whip given by the emperor from the sedan chair and held it in front of the imperial concubine.
Song Zheng said in a deep voice: "Will the empress give in?"
The Liang family has great power, and its disciples and old officials are all over the world. Even Baili Longteng would not dare to offend easily, let alone a little Song Zheng. Therefore, Concubine Liang felt confident and sneered: "Master Song, are you trying to cause trouble?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Zheng held the purple gold whip in his hand, and waves of majestic aura surged around his body. The luck of the dynasty blessed the purple gold whip, and the momentum was like a rainbow: "Mother, I would like to ask you one last question, do you want to give in or not?"
"If you have the ability, just fight!"
"I obey the decree!"
"Don't do anything!"
Seeing that Song Zheng was about to knock down the phoenix chariot and come from the east, a young man in brocade clothes came out of the air and quickly dissuaded him.
I saw this young man: "His eyes are clear and clear, and he is full of Confucian classics. He has an extraordinary appearance and is handsome. Although he is a prince, he does not seek fame. He must sympathize with others when they are suffering."
As soon as the young man appeared, someone next to him recognized him and said, "Isn't this the Third Prince Baili Shuze!"
The imperial concubine Liang Yu gave birth to two sons and one daughter, the second prince Baili Qingfeng, the third prince Baili Shuze and Princess Xu Chun Baili Haoyue.
As soon as Baili Shuze arrived, he quickly raised his hands to Song Zheng and bowed repeatedly: "Sir Song, please don't do anything. I will stop my mother from leaving right now!"
Since Song Zheng was not a troublemaker, he took back the purple gold whip and stood in front of the chariot in silence.
Baili Shuze quickly jumped into the car. He didn't know what he said to his mother. The imperial concubine just sighed and waved her hands: "Forget it, let them pass!"
As he spoke, the carriage slowly moved into the street market on the other side.
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Mingli!"
Song Zheng turned around with a flick of his sleeves, got on the sedan again, and the group left smoothly and headed out of the city.
Although it was a small episode, it caused quite a stir in Taiyue City in the future. Song Zheng dared to fight Luan Jie on the Imperial Street, which is truly a story for the ages.
But after they left, the imperial concubine's chariot returned to the street. Immediately afterwards, more and more people were seen on both sides, and they were all women!
In Taiyue City, there are countless female relatives, all rushing here, in an endless stream, looking forward to it.
Ye Ling was puzzled and asked the person next to him: "Why are these women gathering together?"
The man next to him was indeed well-informed and well-informed, so he said: "You don't know this, but today is the 5000th birthday of the old lady of the dynasty, and this noble concubine is going to pay her respects. The second prince will also be leaving soon. On this road, he is a famous handsome man in the Eastern Region, and these women are just here to see him!"
Ye Ling raised his eyebrows, then shook his head helplessly and said to himself: "No matter when or where feelings are, human nature is always the same thing."
After a while, a woman's heart-rending screams were heard in the distance. A man in white, with his shouts like thunder, riding on a sacred bird, came in front of everyone's attention.
The women on both sides screamed wildly, and flowers and other objects were continuously thrown towards the middle, falling to the ground a foot deep. If the soldiers on both sides had not drawn their guns to stop them, the street would have been crowded with people.
Ye Ling was squeezed in the middle by a group of women, and seemed to be unable to breathe. She quickly dodged and landed on the eaves, looking at the "splendid scene" below.
These women are no longer as dignified and beautiful as they usually pretend to be. They either drive away or trample the tourists who were originally on the street, just to catch a glimpse of Baili Qingfeng's face.
Baili Qingfeng rides a divine bird on his feet, swings a folding fan with his hands, his clothes are swaying, and his lips are smiling, which makes these women's hearts beat like a tadpole and their blood surge.
Exactly: "
Looking at the flowers, they lose their beauty, and the graceful jade falls into the dust. The posture, sound, words and laughter bring forth spring, leaning against the wind and moon and thinking about the clouds.
A gentleman behaves strictly and strictly, and does not care about himself or herself. The people in Yuecheng were alarmed by wearing fine clothes and beating horses to patrol the streets. "
Ye Ling saw Baili Qingfeng and the imperial concubine's chariot merge together and drive forward slowly. Women all over the city followed closely, and they finally landed on the ground.
It happened that there was a small restaurant behind him, and the proprietress stood at the door, clutching melon seeds, with a look of disgust on her face: "I have never eaten or seen these little girls in movies. One look at the fake look on that pretty face, I knew they were one of them." They look down on useless goods. They look good but they are not enough to eat, and they have ruined my business. They deserve to be without a man in their lives!"
Ye Ling smiled unconsciously when he heard this, but when the landlady saw it, he snorted coldly: "I asked you to pick it up and laugh. Are you envious of the second prince who has so many silly girls chasing after him? I tell you, it's useless! Be honest. It's better than anything else. You're like this in vain. Find a regular business owner and buy more property, otherwise you won't even be able to get a wife! There are so many thieves in these small films now. If you don't have money, who will follow you!"
Ye Ling then turned around and looked at the proprietress, only to see her: "A pair of red phoenix eyes, two willow-leaf eyebrows, and a sharp mouth under the nose. She has the heart to meet guests. Her hands are soaked in the spring water, and her body is bathed in the morning and sunset. In this life, she is in front of the door. I looked around a few times, but I didn’t see my beloved return.”
Seeing Ye Ling turn around, the proprietress smiled slightly and flicked the handkerchief in her hand: "You are quite a handsome young man. It's almost noon today. Why don't you come in and sit in the store?"
Ye Ling really stepped in and saw that the place was not big, with only seven or eight tables and a settlement counter, but it was very neat.
The landlady walked in with a smile and shouted to the kitchen: "Lame, we have a guest, why don't you come over and say hello!"
"Oh, it's coming!"
As he spoke, a lean waiter walked out through the curtain. He was in his thirties, with a white scarf on his shoulders and an empty pair of trouser legs. He leaned on a crutch and hurriedly came over to wipe the table: "Sir, what would you like to order?"
The so-called waiter, as the name suggests, you need to be nimble and nimble, but it is quite interesting that this small restaurant uses such a person as the waiter.
However, Ye Ling didn't ask any more questions. He just asked for a bottle of wine and a few dishes of side dishes. He has recovered his cultivation and should not eat grains or touch the secular world. But this is not something that can be changed overnight.
The proprietress turned behind the counter, making calculations in her hands, looking at the account book, shaking her head and sighing: "I should have pawned my pants after losing money."
The waiter in the kitchen quickly stuck his head out and said with a smile: "Madam boss, if you want to use them as trousers, why not sell them to me and I'll pay a high price!"
"You bastard, do your job!" The landlady said angrily: "If I didn't support you two, would I have to support you like this every day?"
While talking, Ye Ling had the food and wine ready. The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, your food is ready. If you have any other orders, just call me!"
Ye Ling nodded and asked again: "Let me ask you something, who is this old lady, and why do both the noble concubine and the prince come to pay their birthdays?"
"Hey, you don't even know this," the waiter said: "This old master of the dynasty is the father of Grand Master Liang Ge, the grandfather of Concubine Liang, and the abbot of the Grand Kingdom Liang Xiaozheng. Anyone who dares not to give face, even the emperor, must respect him."
Hearing this, Ye Ling asked again: "So, all the officials in the court will go to his house to congratulate him?"
"Of course," the waiter said, "Tonight, the entire Liang Mansion will hold a gathering of ministers, both in and out of Beijing. It will probably be more lively than the emperor's morning meeting. Not only the officials, but also the three mountains The various sects of the Five Mountains will also send people here. It’s a pity that we just listen to the fun and don’t even get a chance to take a look!"
The waiter said and turned back to the kitchen.
Although Ye Ling was surprised that he had never heard of it before, he didn't take it to heart. After all, it was better this way.
