Those who had long ears in the Beijing Guards understood that the Minister of Civil Affairs was threatening them.
And they also saw clearly how dazzling the gloating smile on the minister's face was.
In the team, a young man in his thirties, wearing a bright yellow captain-level general's hat, came out. He first bowed to Zhou Jingxian with his fists clasped, then turned to the Minister of Civil Affairs who was making nonsense on horseback and shouted: "You, he Grandma's are nothing. The Ministry of Civil Affairs only supervises the evaluation and promotion of civil servants. You have the power to take care of the affairs of our Ministry of War, especially our Jingwei Army, which is under the control of His Majesty. It's your turn to point here. Yet?"
"you!"
The Minister of Civil Affairs choked and turned pale. He wanted to reply a few words, but when he saw that the young captain had reached out to hold the saber at his waist, he choked again. Feeling the contemptuous looks of many people around him, he snorted coldly.
"It's true that when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain. Princess Xian, he is now your subordinate. He is a sixth-grade captain and dares to yell at a fourth-grade court official. It is really unbecoming. You should How to punish?"
After saying that, the Minister of Civil Affairs got off his horse, bowed his hands to the Ambassador of Loulan, and approached him with a flattering smile.
"My lord, please rest assured that what happened today was all caused by Princess Xian's fault. We will definitely give you an explanation."
With the official's statement, Ambassador Loulan, who had been facing a formidable enemy just now, proudly straightened his back and snorted provocatively at Zhou Jingxian.
He was too lazy to talk to Princess Xian, who only thought about using force to suppress people.
To avoid being beaten again later.
Anyway, there were Daxing officials standing up for those men pretending to be businessmen, so he just waited for Daxing to give him a satisfactory answer.
Let the Daxing people fight in their nests by themselves!
Zhou Jingxian looked at the official minister who was arrogantly ordering her to do things, and then turned to flatter the Loulan people. At this time, she was more confused than angry.
She was not a person who kept things under wraps. She came out on the spot as if she was angry. Feeling confused, she asked in public: "Shilang Ge, have you forgotten who your ancestor is?"
As soon as these words came out.
There was silence for a while at the entrance of Xiyi Hall.
Then, thunderous applause broke out.
Those who applauded were all Daxing people.
Many of them have no power, but they have a righteous heart. When they heard Princess Xian's question, they also started to build momentum.
"Princess Xian has a good question! Who can turn their elbows outward? How can a real Daxing person ignore the facts and speak for the Loulan people?"
"Forget about being an ordinary traitor and lackey. This gentleman holds the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is the position responsible for the promotion of officials. He can actually do such a thing. I am worried that one day he will get the title and have to fight with Loulan. Let’s work together as colleagues.”
Some people know yin and yang, and some people will express their attitude radically.
"You will die a good death if you betray your ancestors and forget your lineage!"
"Check carefully whether Shilang Ge is Loulan's spy in Daxing!"
"It must be strictly investigated! Let the Daxing court be clear! Give us Daxing science examination students an explanation!"
Ge Shilang, who originally wanted to use his official authority and power to suppress Zhou Jingxian, did not expect that his few words would cause such a big shock, not to mention getting burned, and risking being severely investigated.
Although the Ge family is an aristocratic family, it has gradually declined in recent years. Since he became the Minister of Civil Affairs, he and his family have used the power in their hands to accept benefits from others.
Because of this, when the Japanese envoy Taro Kishui took one hundred taels of gold and wanted him to say a few good words for the Japanese country, he readily agreed.
As a result, King Jin took advantage of him, and now he became King Jin's man.
Today I came to clean up the mess for the Loulan people, not only because the Ge family had business dealings with Loulan, but also because of the order from the Jin Palace.
Zhou Jingxian dragged the Loulan people away in Anbao Tower and did things without caring about An Xiong's face. Naturally, the Jin Palace was dissatisfied. They couldn't say it openly, but they had to find a way to make Zhou Jingxian embarrassed in public.
Who knows.
Zhou Jingxian doesn't know how to behave tactfully.
If we had just taken the opportunity to deal with the rude subordinate, put the blame on the subordinates, and asked them to apologize on his behalf, wouldn't the matter be settled and everyone would look good?
But now it's not bad, but it has affected his reputation.
"Shilang Ge, I advise you to go back to your staff and complete the errands that Grandpa Huang has given you. Don't stretch your hands too far."
Zhou Jingxian had lost her patience in talking to Ge Shilang.
She used the hilt of her sword to declare a challenge to Lord Loulan, who was looking forward to the show.
"If Ambassador Loulan thinks that I have mishandled my situation, you can complain to Grandpa Huang, or you can target me privately, but I advise Ambassador Loulan not to send people to harass my talents again, otherwise I will not kill them next time. Instead of dragging him to Xiyi Pavilion, he took him directly to Dali Temple for torture and interrogation, and asked them to point out who was behind the scenes."
"Master Loulan, you keep saying that you want to be on good terms with Daxing. If you do something that harms Daxing, do you think you can leave Daxing safely?"
Threats and intimidation who wouldn't.
Zhou Jingxian thinks she is not smart, but she is very good at learning.
Finished speaking.
It was hinted that Loulan wanted to cause trouble and start a war with Daxing. The leader of Loulan was so angry that his face was livid, but he couldn't say a word to refute or reason.
Nothing else.
Because Loulan had already secretly formed an alliance with Beidi, and sent many people to keep an eye on the famous Daxing talents on Beidi's list, and would attack the Daxing talents whenever there was an opportunity.
Even if there is a dispute, if the Daxing talents are not seriously injured, it will also delay the time for the Daxing talents to prepare for the competition.
The Loulan envoys couldn't help but investigate carefully, and they were even more afraid of what happened that day when Minister Ji brought people to investigate them one by one.
Zhou Jingxian's threats and intimidation hit the key point.
Lord Loulan was speechless.
Ge Shilang didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Zhou Jingxian retracted the hilt of her sword, raised her left hand and was about to give an order, asking the Beijing Guards to leave this place with her.
Suddenly, several carriages drove over in a hurry.
She squinted her eyes and saw the words on the carriage. Her heart sank suddenly and a look of impatience appeared on her face.
"It's really a bunch of flies that bite at every opportunity. There's no end."
Those who came were none other than the courtiers sent by the Jin Dynasty who were present in the court to observe how well she performed her duties.
If Shilang Ge's arrival was unexpected, then it was within her expectation that these people came upon hearing the news.
But the commotion was so loud that more than ten respectable courtiers came to speak for the Loulan people at once, whether their purpose was to suppress themselves or for other reasons.
Zhou Jingxian only had one idea in her mind at this time.
Daxing's court.
It's time to clean up the portal.
She clenched the red gold sword in her hand and slowly lowered her arm.
When the carriage drove towards Xiyi Pavilion, all Loulan's thugs retreated.
Zhou Jingxian's face became even more ugly when she saw their tacit cooperation.
"Xu~~"
The carriage stopped.
Courtiers wearing Daxing court uniforms got off the carriage in groups.
They range from fifth-rank Beijing officials to royal family members, and even two generals.
Their eyes swept over the Daxing talents gathered around the Xiyi Pavilion, and the sense of majesty emanating from them silenced the students who had not seen much.
They can still use their talents and tongue to fight against officials like Ge Shilang who have no real power other than official judgment and cannot affect students like them who have not yet passed the exam.
But these Beijing officials who came here also included members of the royal family and those two military generals who looked very intimidating. Just by their defiant attitude, you knew that they were officials with real power.
Maybe there is a famous family behind him to support him.
If you fight with him rashly, you might even quietly disappear into the capital one day!
"Why are so many high officials here at once? Isn't it just a small matter of fighting?"
"Who knows, many of the officials there are not sent by King Jin, but they are all here for Princess Xian?"
"A group of people are bullying Princess Xian, they are so shameless!"
