Three consecutive slaps knocked Feng Zhongcheng unconscious. Fearing that he would be beaten again if he walked too slowly, he left the main seat in a panic and ran to the hall in embarrassment.
Those who were beaten were stunned, but those who were not beaten were not. Seeing Feng Zhongcheng being beaten, someone immediately stepped forward to protect him and show his loyalty, "What is the fault of Mr. Zhongcheng? Why did Mr. Xiantai beat his subordinates for no reason?"
As soon as this person spoke, the leader in the audience also moved his hands. He was short and couldn't reach the other person's face, so he could only lift up his feet and hook the opponent's knees behind his hips. When the speaker fell to his knees, he used all his strength to make a move. hand.
Datou's attack was much heavier than Changsheng's. He slapped the opponent directly and his mouth was full of blood. "There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. How dare you rebuke the official of this department when you have committed a crime?"
The one who was beaten was stunned again, but there were still some who were not stunned. Then someone shouted loudly, "This is the censor's hall, why do you rely on force to commit murder?"
After hearing this man's words, Da Tou didn't hesitate, turned around and approached, first punched the opponent and made him bend down, then slapped him in the face, "You also know that this is the Yushi Hall? Mr. Xantai came with a seal, However, you were seduced by your deputy position and gathered cliques. Not only did you not greet each other with courtesy, but you also glared at each other, blatantly offended the officials of the department and violated the etiquette and laws. As an inspector of the Yushitai, if you violate the law by enforcing the law, you will be punished with an additional penalty."
Datou’s words were so comprehensive that they directly frightened most of the officials in the hall. However, there were still a few who were unwilling to accept it and shouted in retort, “You didn’t show your official seal, how do we know who you are?”
"You three will fight when you come in, but will you allow us to talk?"
"Xiaguan has been in the Yushitai for more than 20 years, and I have never seen such a arrogant person. Tomorrow, Xiaguan will definitely go to the meeting to participate in the performance, calling Qu Mingjing."
There were too many people talking, and the big head clone was unable to fight him, so he went to one of them first. At the same time, he winked at Yang Kai, who was standing aside, and motioned for him to help.
Yang Kai also felt that it was not good to stand there stupidly, so after getting the hint from Da Tou, he turned around to look for the target, but everyone had already seen Da Tou winking at him, and no one was stupid enough to stand there waiting for him to attack, so they all retreated and hid. Far.
Yang Kai looked around and couldn't find his target, so he could only retreat to the door, blocking everyone's way.
Datou had already made a move at this time, and slapped someone in the face, "You didn't show your official seal? Raise your head and look carefully. What is Mr. Xantai holding in your hand?"
The man who was beaten looked up and saw that Changsheng was indeed holding the golden seal of the imperial censor in his hand. To be precise, he was carrying it. There was a buckle on the upper part of the golden seal, and a purple rope was tied to the buckle. Changsheng At this time, he was holding the purple twisted rope and swinging the golden seal.
"Master Xiantai showed his official seal as soon as he entered the door. As officials of Yushitai, you don't even recognize the official seal of your headquarters?" Datou said and walked towards the other person, "You old man is so disrespectful. You are still relying on your old age. Will you participate in the original performance?"
Seeing Da Tou coming toward him, the person who had spoken earlier was frightened and backed away. Da Tou had already hit several people before, and he had no doubt that Da Tou could beat him as well. In desperation, he had to change his words, "Sir, please calm down. Sir, please calm down." , I really didn’t see the official seal of the headquarters.”
"You didn't see it because your eyesight is dim. You can't say that Mr. Xiantai didn't show it." Big Head pressed forward step by step.
"Yes, yes, yes," the old man nodded repeatedly, "Master Xiantai showed the gold seal, but my eyes were dim and I couldn't see it clearly."
Seeing that the other party had given in, Datou let him go, stopped, turned around, and looked around.
There were twenty or thirty people in the hall, all with unfamiliar faces. Datou couldn't remember who else had spoken just now, but he knew who had spoken. Seeing him looking around, he felt panicked and hurriedly surrendered and begged for mercy, "Yes, yes, yes, What Mr. Hu said is that Mr. Xiantai did show his official seal, but we did not pay attention to it. The disrespect and neglect were unintentional. I hope Mr. Xiantai will be generous and tolerant."
When dealing with this kind of thing, you are most afraid of the enemy being monolithic. As long as someone is loose, the entire enemy camp will immediately fall apart. There are already two weaklings in front of you. It is not too embarrassing to be a weakling. Driven by this mentality, Your Excellency Everyone surrendered and confessed, saying that they were careless and did not see the official seal presented by Lord Xantai. However, they were just careless and did not mean to cause trouble.
One moment they were teammates with the same hatred, and the next moment they all defected en masse, leaving only Feng Zhongcheng standing in the audience, embarrassed to death and angry to death.
After stabilizing the situation, it was time for Changsheng to clean up the mess. Changsheng said to Feng Zhongcheng, "Master Feng, you formed a clique to make trouble and deliberately made things difficult for me. I don't know the same as you. You don't look good. You must be." It's due to fatigue from working hard at official duties, so let's go back and rest, the salary will be quite good for you."
The emperors of all dynasties were most afraid of forming cliques and cliques. Changsheng directly raised this matter to the level of cliques. He was not able to bear this big blame, and all his teammates also defected. Well, I must have been able to keep secretly communicating and giving private instructions. Instead of stubbornly resisting and asking for trouble, I might as well just get off the slope and go back to recuperate.
You can't just leave like this. You have to say thank you before leaving. It's both cowardly and embarrassing.
Although Da Tou seemed to be joking on the surface, he was very attentive. Seeing Feng Zhongcheng leaving in frustration, he hurriedly said, "Hey, Mr. Feng, I just heard you talking outside and said that you would help organize the birthday of Mr. Attendant?"
Feng Zhongcheng didn't know why and turned around in fear.
Chang Sheng took the opportunity to take over the conversation, "Fu Yushi, why didn't you tell me earlier? Although I am the imperial censor appointed by the emperor, I was highly recommended by the lord. The lord has been kind to me. We can't neglect his birthday, Sir Feng, I'm new here and I need to familiarize myself with official duties, so you can go and organize the birthday celebration for Lord Attendant Haosheng on my behalf, and I'll give you double your salary."
Feng Zhongcheng couldn't tell that the two of them were acting, but acting was better than not acting. At least he could get double his salary, so he could only turn around and say thank you, and go away in vain.
Seeing that Feng Zhongcheng was expelled by Changsheng, everyone in the hall was overjoyed. They all defected in public. They will never be able to see Feng Zhongcheng again. It's good to leave and leave cleanly.
After removing the biggest obstacle, the next thing will be easy to handle. There are more than these twenty or thirty officials in Yushitai. There are many more. These people have a good relationship with Feng Zhongcheng. Changsheng gave an order to summon all the officials in the headquarters. Officials from the ninth rank were also called to formally meet with everyone.
Those who had been beaten before, with bruises and swollen faces, did not want to be seen by other colleagues, so they wanted to say goodbye and avoid it, but Chang Sheng disagreed. These people are relatively close to Feng Zhongcheng, and many people must look down on them on weekdays. To get used to them, everyone must know what happened in the hall before.
It takes time to gather everyone, and Changsheng is not in a hurry. He has never experienced such a scene, and he needs to use this time to think about what he should say to his subordinates next.
Originally, he wanted to consider his words when taking office, but when he calmed down, his thoughts returned to the previous morning court. During the morning court, the ministers quarreled for half an hour, during which the emperor remained silent.
The officials were quarreling and scolding from below, but in reality they were putting pressure on the emperor, forcing him to change his mind. The chaotic situation showed that the emperor could not control the people below him. The more the officials quarreled, the more embarrassing the emperor would be.
The emperor could avoid this embarrassment simply by withdrawing his life, but the emperor did not do that. Instead, he sat forcibly for half an hour, losing his person for half an hour, just to save him, the imperial censor.
Why does the emperor want to keep this imperial doctor at all costs? What does the emperor want him to do next? This is what he should think about, but in fact, he doesn’t need to think about it. The chaos in the court has reached such a state. The ministers who support the emperor and the eunuchs are almost divided. This shows that the emperor has been ignored by the eunuchs and may be eunuchs at any time. The possibility of abolishing it, what the emperor wanted him to do was undoubtedly to eradicate the eunuchs as soon as possible.
There are only two ways to clear obstacles, either to engulf it quickly or to erode it slowly. At present, neither of these paths is feasible. To devour it quickly is not that strong. To put it bluntly, it cannot swallow it and cannot defeat it.
And slow nibbling is even worse. The reason why the emperor has not been deposed is because in the view of the eunuchs, they can still control the emperor. During the slow nibbling process, the other party may notice at any time. Once they notice, everything will be over. It's over.
The reason why he can become the imperial censor is surprisingly consistent with the reason why the emperor can become the emperor, that is, they are both underestimated by their opponents because of their young age. In the eyes of their opponents, their minds cannot be too mature at their age, and they cannot be too mature. Can't be very smart.
This is also their only chance. Once the opponent discovers that there is a mature soul hidden under their immature appearance, the two of them will die.
The so-called only chance is to take action if you don't do it. If you do it, you must succeed. If you don't succeed, the two of them will die without a burial place.
If you think about it carefully, you can't do anything now. You can neither devour nor cannibalize. The conditions are not mature yet. You can only hide your strength and bide your time and prepare secretly. Once the time is ripe, or once an opportunity arises, you will immediately make a desperate move, give it a go, and cover your ears with lightning speed. This will drive the eunuchs to an end.
At this time, most of the officials from Yushitai came to the hall. They didn't know what Chang Sheng was thinking. Seeing that he looked serious and said nothing, at first they thought he was pretending to be serious and establishing his dignity. Only later did they think I realized that I had thought wrong, because the expression I put on would change over time, and it was impossible to remain unchanged.
Seeing that everyone was here, but Chang Sheng had not spoken for a long time, Datou stepped forward and reminded in a low voice, "Master Xiantai, everyone is here."
Hearing Datou's words, Changsheng came back to his senses, retracted his thoughts and looked at everyone in the hall.
Since he was thinking about other things before, he didn't think about what to say to everyone next. However, compared with what he had thought about before, what he said to his subordinates seemed insignificant, and the previous time was not wasted. , he figured out the most important issue, that is, what method to use to eradicate the eunuchs. The method determines the attitude he will adopt next, and the attitude determines what he will do next, just like painting Just like a painting, you must think about what you want to paint before you start painting. If you are not sure what to paint and start painting hastily, the horse you draw in the end will probably look like a donkey.
He has already got the brush in his hand and is sure of what he wants to paint. The next lecture to his subordinates is the first stroke he paints...
