After this incident, Chen Huaiming became much more honest, and he no longer even dared to go to a brothel.
Likewise, he also understood that he had offended others.
One day after going to court, I couldn't help but pay a visit to Yao Tingyu.
Upon learning of his arrival, Yao Tingyu naturally treated him politely and invited him into the living room to drink tea.
The two of them were originally Xuanchen, and they couldn't be more familiar with each other. When the servants served tea, Yao Tingyu picked up the tea cup, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Master Chen, it's because of the impeachment."
"Mr. Yao." Chen Huaiming sighed at first, and then said angrily: "You said that this Jiang Yi is a clever talker who makes trouble over nothing. She complained before the king. Isn't this a malicious frame-up?"
To be called a public servant, one must not only be highly respected, but also have a certain status. Yao Tingyu naturally deserves this title.
He smiled slightly and said: "It's also your fault that the leverage fell into the hands of others. You have too many political enemies in the court, so there is no need to be angry."
"How can you not be angry about this?" Chen Huaiming said: "Does Mr. Yao know how embarrassed I was when I was punished? This will be a stain on my official career from now on."
"Huh? Don't make things so complicated." Yao Tingyu said, "Fortunately, the king didn't delve too deeply into it."
"Yes, it was a near miss." Chen Huaiming was frightened for a while, and then became angry: "But I have written this down. Don't let Jiang Yi fall into my hands one day."
"Don't do this nonsense." Hearing what he said, Yao Tingyu frowned secretly: "If you violate the taboo of the king, if there is a partisan dispute, you will die without a burial place."
"I don't have any secret party members. Besides, if there is a big disaster, the queen will definitely save me." Chen Huaiming said.
"This idea of yours is very dangerous." Yao Tingyu said seriously: "Yes, the empress is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. She will definitely take care of the old minister when she sees him suffering. But if the king is really offended, no one can save him!"
After saying that, he reassured: "I think let's just forget about this matter. There's no need to worry about it anymore."
"How can you be willing to accept what Mr. Yao said?" Chen Huaiming asked anxiously.
"A gentleman only needs to have a clear conscience. As long as he is loyal to the king and patriotic, there will be no trouble. Our king is a wise king. Be an official and a good official, and the king will protect you. Look at Liu Changqing, Who has not impeached him? How many people has he offended? What is the result? It is not protection overt or covert." Yao Tingyu said seriously.
An old guy is an old guy, just like some officials who will talk about Xuan Clan and Qin Clan in private, but Yao Tingyu will never say such things.
"Please give me tea."
After some conversation, Chen Huaiming's anger subsided a lot.
This incident did not cause any waves.
Some time later, a young master from a wealthy family got married in Qinzhou City. But on the day of the wedding, the entire mansion was surrounded by guards in green clothes.
Because someone secretly reported that the bride was wearing a phoenix crown, a phoenix hairpin with tassels, and a red brocade robe sweeping the floor, imitating the dress of Queen Qin when she got married.
You must know what era it was, when common people were not allowed to marry with royal etiquette, let alone a phoenix crown involved.
The matter can be big or small. If you really want to cause trouble, you can definitely be convicted of treason.
At this moment, outside the Dahu Mansion, there were people standing outside the palace. They were all dressed in blue and brocade, with official boots on their feet and war swords hanging on their waists.
The common people didn't know the Tsing Yi Guard organization, so they had already reported it to the officials. But when the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Mansion arrived, one of them was about to step forward to ask, but was pushed away by a Tsing Yi Guard officer: "The Tsing Yi Guards are handling cases. Intervene!”
The officers and soldiers were pushed and staggered. It was obvious that these people were dressed in attire, with official badges on their collars, and official boots on their feet. They could only swallow their saliva, and with no choice, they waved their hands and led the people away.
Seeing the officers and soldiers coming and leaving, the big family immediately reacted and knew that these people in brocade clothes were also officers. He couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward and said to the leader in a trembling voice: "This, this, this, gentlemen, I always abide by the law. I don’t know what I have committed..."
No one paid any attention to him.
The big man said anxiously again: "My son is getting married today, I hope all the officials will be kind to you..."
As he spoke, he quickly ordered his subordinates to fetch some gold and silver and was about to offer them to him.
"Don't do this." The leading green-clothed guard pushed the money back and said coldly: "The problem is because your son got a wife. You are guilty of a big crime!"
"What? This, this..." The big man was about to say more, but Yang Zhao had already walked quickly and rushed to the scene himself.
Seeing him, all the green-clad guards clasped their fists and bent down: "Sir."
Yang Zhao waved his hand, stood in front of the mansion, looked around and asked, "How is the situation?"
"It has been verified that the surname of the wealthy family here is Gao. His son, Master Gao, is getting married today. The bride is a red brocade hairpin and a phoenix crown on her head, imitating the queen." The leader returned.
"Yes." Yang Zhao nodded and said based on reason: "When the wedding ceremony is over, please ask the couple to go to the Qingyi Guard for questioning before making a final decision."
"Yes!" The leader responded.
Another person said: "This family is really brave. They actually wear phoenix crowns as royal gifts, thinking they are the queen!"
At this time, the big man also understood the cause of the matter and saw that Yang Zhao was the commander. He quickly came closer and bowed deeply: "My lord, I have a clear understanding. I never meant to offend the monarch. It's just that my daughter-in-law saw it with her own eyes." I have seen the queen get married, and she feels very graceful, so...therefore..."
Understanding what he meant, Yang Zhao raised his hand to interrupt him: "We are not unreasonable people. Your son's wedding ceremony will go ahead as usual. As for this matter, we will deal with it later. You are not allowed to leave the house at any time for these two days. Awaiting summons.”
"This, what should I do..." The big family was at a loss.
Yang Zhao did not disturb the wedding ceremony. After leaving some people behind, he rushed to the palace as soon as possible to report the matter.
When he entered the palace study and saw Xiao Yuan, he told him what had happened. The latter frowned and said displeasedly: "What are you doing on this big day?"
"This..." Yang Zhao swallowed his saliva: "For folk women to wear phoenix crowns on their heads, this is really disrespectful to the Queen and the Empress. Even the humble ministers have to do this..."
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan scolded and said impatiently: "Remove all your people. Don't turn someone's happy event into a tragic event. Go find the queen and let her solve it."
"This, yes, I am resigning." Yang Zhao carefully looked at Xiao Yuan's face and bowed deeply.
According to the etiquette system, the queen is the main palace of a country, her mother is responsible for the world, and she can take charge of women's affairs.
Letting the queen solve it is also the best way.
Yang Zhao was a little uneasy. After he asked for a meeting, he respectfully explained the matter to Lu Yunyan.
"What did you say?" Lu Yunyan frowned slightly.
"My lord, I don't know what crime they should be convicted of, so I came here to ask your Majesty for instructions." Yang Zhao said.
