Summer is hanging in the west, it is not too late yet, Liu Chengyou has already made up his mind to leave. After eating and drinking, he looked for his way back. He looked at Xiao Fu who was wiping Liu Jia's mouth, then looked at Gao Fang and Liu Tinghan. Liu Chengyou smiled and said, "That's it for today, let's go back!"
"yes!"
Gao Fang looked calm, but Liu Tinghan was a little excited. Although he had been serving the emperor for some years, this was the first time he had dinner with the emperor in private.
"I see you, Your Majesty, little man!" As he walked to the door, a middle-aged man saluted Liu Chengyou through the guards.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the identity was leaked? He looked sharply at the person. He was quite young. Although he was wearing silk robes and looked like a merchant, he clearly had a strong aura. This person was born in the military.
Staring at him indifferently, Liu Chengyou said calmly: "How do you know my identity?"
Feeling the emperor's cold tone, the man was startled. He was obviously a strong man who had fought a hundred battles. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel fear and secretly cursed himself for being dizzy. But now that he had exposed it, he said honestly: "Back to your majesty, the villain Zhao Xian is the king of Chen, and he was lucky enough to see Tianyan during the Northern Expedition.
Just now, the villain learned that a distinguished person was coming, but he did not expect that it was His Majesty who came in person. It is an honor to come to the building. The villain was reckless and disturbed the Holy Master. Please punish him! "
Although he was a little nervous, Zhao Xian still explained the situation clearly. After understanding, Liu Chengyou looked at him a few more times. Although it was vague, he did have some impression.
His expression softened a little, and he waved his hand: "Get up, I'm incognito, so don't be so conspicuous!"
When Liu Chengyou said this, he really didn't have any skills. You can see how arrogant he is in his incognito posture just by looking at other people's reactions.
"Do you run this restaurant?" Liu Chengyou chuckled as he stared at this person playfully.
Bowing down, Zhao Xian hesitated for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, Chen Wang has followed the villain for many years, so he supports the villain to make a living..."
"Haha!" Liu Chengyou laughed out loud and said, "You don't have to be nervous. As long as you operate in accordance with the law and pay taxes according to regulations, I will help your business prosper!"
"Yes! Yes! I am so lucky to be taught by Your Majesty myself, little one..." Zhao Xian looked a little excited and spoke without hesitation.
"Okay!!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand and said, "Go back and tell King Chen that the wine and food taste good!"
"Besides, please don't publicize my visit here!" Liu Chengyou gave another stern warning, or a warning.
Of course, Zhao Xian agreed obediently and cautiously stayed behind. He kept watching Liu Chengyou and his group slowly go away and disappeared around the corner of the street, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. His forehead and vest were already covered in sweat, which was obviously not hot.
Seeing his strangeness, one of his stewards couldn't help but asked: "Who is this person? He is not very impressive, but has a strong posture. He has never entertained such a distinguished guest. Why do you need to be so respectful? Could it be that he is a high official in the imperial court?" ?”
"Shut up!" Zhao Xian scolded, looked around, and ordered: "I'll go back to the palace, and you can look after the restaurant and run it as usual. Don't talk about it. Just pretend it didn't happen!"
On Liu Chengyou's side, the family took a walk after dinner. He and Xiao Fu held Liu Jia's hands on the left and right, and walked out of the city. When the sun is not so fierce, it feels a bit comfortable. If it weren't for the surrounding guards, this scene would be extremely warm.
After getting in the car and driving, I encountered something interesting again.
It was still stuffy in the ventilated car. Liu Chengyou used the cattail leaf fan he bought to fan Xiao Fu and his son. Liu Jia was really sleepy and soon fell asleep holding her father's lap.
"What happened outside?" Xiao Fu pointed to the outside of the car.
All I saw was that the crowd seemed to be converging in one direction.
Seeing this posture, Liu Chengyou shook his head slightly and said: "It seems there is something exciting to see. It can cause such a sensation, let's go and see it!"
Following the flow of people, he circled two streets and approached the incident site. Even though he was a little far away, he could see the situation clearly from a high place, and he could recognize one of the protagonists at a glance - General Dang Jin of the Inspection Department.
In the field, a small group of patrol soldiers from the Forbidden Army surrounded several young men in Tsing Yi. Among them was a young man in a well-known uniform, who was shrinking his neck and looking at Dang Jin with both fear and anger.
As for Dang Jin, he held a whip in his hand and waved it in front of him, but he kept cursing: "They say that a tiger father has no dog son. Ding Guogong is considered to have worked hard and made great achievements. He was a hero, how could he give birth to someone like you?" A son? You people, apart from flying eagles and lackeys, relying on the power of your family to show off your power outside and cause trouble, what else can you do? "
"Do you think you are showing off your power in the market? I will tell you that you are embarrassing the Dingguo Palace and your father. Look at the people watching, I'm afraid they all feel contempt in their hearts. You unworthy son who ruins the family tradition!"
Next to it, there was a hunting dog being led by two soldiers. It was huge and very ferocious, but it looked a little miserable at this time, with bruises all over its body, obviously after being tortured.
Dang Jin pointed at the dog and continued to angrily scold the young man: "If you take a vicious dog like this to hunt in the countryside with no one to manage it, what do you want to do by taking it to show off in the busy market? I don't know if it will intimidate the people and influence the people." Is it law and order?
Although no one was hurt, even if it was damage to other people's property, do you think that you can just pay a few bucks to get it over with? Let me tell you, if you meet someone from our party, you will be unlucky.
What does my inspection department do? This is my general's duty. Don't you think that moving out of Dingguogong will scare me? Um? "
"Look at what you look like, a good man with oily hair and pink face. You are not a woman, but you still want to learn how to put makeup on your face. You get angry when you see you. Aren't you worried about insulting your father's great reputation?"
"..."
Seeing Dang Jin scolding him endlessly, the young man was almost crying from the scolding by this ferocious warrior. In front of so many people, being pointed at the nose and lectured him was extremely humiliating. He thought to himself, he didn't bully the market, he just took his pet dog for a stroll, why did he offend this man.
However, Hard Top didn’t have the guts, nor did he have the force. With a grimace, the young man said: "General Dang, I know I was wrong and I will correct it. Just tell me how to solve it..."
Seeing that his attitude was quite good, Dang Jin nodded. After talking so much, he felt thirsty. He took out a pear from somewhere, took a few bites, and then said: "You evil dog, I am also thirsty." I hit you, and I also scolded you. But if you damage other people's property, you have to compensate and apologize to others."
The young man quickly agreed: "It should be!"
"Also, this time is a warning. If I see you yamen masters doing nothing in the future, I will not be lenient. When the time comes, follow me to live in the Yamen of the Inspection Department, so that you can have a good time." The powerful father comes to lead people..."
…
Seeing the scene over there, Xiao Fu's eyes were filled with curiosity and he said, "Is this Dang Jin? It is indeed as fierce as the rumors say."
But Liu Chengyou couldn't help but shook his head: "This person has always been like this, he is not stingy!"
"However, depending on the situation, General Dang is asking for orders for the people, so why is there security?" Xiao Fu said.
Here, Zhang Dejun, who had inquired about the situation, came back, approached the car, and reported to Liu Chengyou: "That is Zhang Congde, the second son of Duke Dingguo. He was taking a hound on the street. Dang Jin saw him and stopped him to teach him a lesson. The hound was frightened. Let’s go, and damaged several vendors’ goods…”
The Duke of Ding was Zhang Yanwei, who was the first high-ranking general to join Liu Chengyou among the generals of the Yuan Dynasty in Hedong. In his early years, he assisted him in controlling the Longqi Army, and also participated in the Luancheng Battle. Later, he served as the Chengde Army Jiedu to guard Zhending.
After Zhu Jiedu was relieved of power, Zhang Dejun also returned to serve in the court. Because of his lack of ability, Liu Chengyou did not have important authority with him, but his treatment was very generous. Now Zhang Yanwei also serves as the envoy of Xuanhui North Academy.
"So it's Dang Jin who takes the initiative to cause trouble? Does he have a conflict with Zhang Yanwei?" Liu Chengyou asked.
Zhang Dejun shook his head, with a little weird expression on his face, and said: "It shouldn't be so. Among the generals in the Inspection Department, only General Dang likes to patrol the city in person the most. He especially hates those powerful children who are arrogant and causing trouble. Whenever he encounters them, he will I need to teach you a lesson. This time, I’m afraid it’s just a coincidence…”
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou smiled: "This Dang Jin can be regarded as a man of temperament. He reprimanded him in the street like this, which brought great loss to the Dingguo Palace. But from now on, the powerful children in Beijing will really fear Dang Jin." Like a tiger..."
Liu Chengyou's tone was full of ridicule. He pondered for a while and then calmly ordered: "I've finished watching the excitement. Let's go back to the palace..."
The incident of "Party inspectors angrily rebuking powerful men" quickly spread throughout Kaifeng, causing a lot of discussion and a lot of people taking advantage of it. This time, it was the most lively time for the Party to teach the disciples of power, and the response was great.
Of course, for most people, this is just a piece of conversation material, but there are some people who are paying attention to Duke Dingguo's reaction.
Zhang Yanwei is famous for being a protector of shortcomings. For his beloved son to be scolded like that in the street was a slap in the face. Zhang Yanwei has deep qualifications, and he is an old minister from Conglong. Of course, Dang Jin is also a skilled general who fights with swords and swords, and behind him stands Zhao Kuangyin, the Duke of Bo.
Many people want to see what sparks will come out of the two. As expected, that night, Zhang Yanwei went to the party house in person to ask for an explanation. The two sides had a huge argument and even almost started fighting. Of course, Dang Jin was quite restrained, but Zhang Yanwei didn't really dare to take action, and he couldn't defeat him even if he did it.
As expected, this incident reached the Han Palace and reached the ears of Liu Chengyou. In this regard, Liu Chengyou just smiled and did not express his opinion, but later sent someone to reward Dang Jin with some property and reward him for fulfilling his duties and not being afraid of the powerful.
Since then, the matter has stopped immediately. After hearing the news, Zhang Yanwei imprisoned his son Zhang Congde at home for three months. At the same time, he killed his ostentatious hound, cooked it, and sent a portion to Dang Jin's house. It is said that Zhang Yanwei would greet Dang Jin with a smile later on.
