The runaway general of the black-bellied book

Li Yuze woke up early in the morning.

It has been two days since he returned to Beijing, and Li Yuze has not yet entered the palace to meet him.It was also His Majesty who was gracious and gave him two days to recuperate, so he can't delay any longer today.

You Jinbao and another servant put on the court clothes, Li Yuze sat down on the chair, and You Jinbao put the court crown on him.

The military officer's crimson uniform was worn on him, making Li Yuze even more valiant and powerful.Compared with the light-colored robes worn these days, it has a more serious and killing temperament.

"Master, it's already done." Jin Bao lowered his head and adjusted the hem of Li Yuze's court clothes.

Dressed like this, Li Yuze's aura is very strong, with an undeniable strength, and he is completely different from the approachable him these days, making Jinbao dare not show his aura.

He said respectfully: "Bitao has already prepared breakfast, and it's in the outer courtyard. Do you want to eat now, master?"

Li Yuze gave a "hmm" and said at the same time: "You guys go down to eat too, you don't need to be waited on. Let the driver wait outside, and we will set off after eating."

Jin Bao responded, and hurried down to order the coachman.

Today's breakfast is still a simple porridge and side dishes.In Shuobei, he was used to a hurried breakfast and hard dry food, but now he could eat an ordinary breakfast, and Li Yuze felt indescribably satisfied.

After breakfast, the coachman was already waiting at the door as ordered.Li Yuze got up and got into the carriage, and set off slowly towards the palace.

Unknowingly, the carriage has stopped.The driver at the door said to the inside: "My lord, we are here."

When you get to a place not far from the palace, you can no longer take a sedan chair or a car.Li Yuze's thoughts were interrupted, he got up and got out of the car.

After a few years, I put on this official uniform again, and returned to the familiar, not so familiar, imperial city.

Li Yuze didn't know how to react, how to behave...he could be a good general, but he would never be able to play a respectful courtier.

It's not that Li Yuze has any intentions to plot evil, but that for people who are used to freedom, no matter the official robe on him or the so-called general title, it's just a kind of restraint.

However, if he wanted to serve the motherland, Li Yuze had no other options in his mind other than serving as an official in the court and fighting on the battlefield.

He is used to being straightforward, and if he really became an official other than a general, dealing with those old guys every day, he would be bored to death.

Li Yuze thought again that if he went to court today, he would be bombarded by Zhao Xiangming and Qi Chengye.General Li, who is fearless on the battlefield, is most afraid of the saliva of these civil servants in his life.It just so happens that their official position is higher than yours, their qualifications are longer than yours, and their words are even more reasonable than yours.

Therefore, the wise and mighty General Li had no other choice but to stand there and listen to their eccentricities.

But with Zilan helping me today...it should be easier, right?Li Yuze thought so, but his heart was still a little beating.

After all, Fang Yimin was more polite than him. He was annoyed by Zhao Xiangming, and he would grab a word or two, but it seemed that he had never heard Zilan quarrel with them.

But Zilan probably won't be helpless... Li Yuze is dying - no matter how he is my best friend! ! !

No matter how entangled Mr. Li is, the road in the palace is so short.After getting off the carriage, and walking for less than a quarter of an hour, you have already arrived at the main hall of the court.

All the ministers lined up outside the main hall, standing in line from the check-in according to their ranks.Ministers of the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Households, and Ministry of Officials stand on the left, and ministers of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Industry stand on the right.

Civil officials in the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry all wear blue official robes, ranging from dark to light according to their grades.

The generals of the Ministry of War wear crimson official robes, and the color changes with their official titles.

Only the officials of the Ministry of Punishment wore black official robes, which seemed to be the most solemn group.

Li Yuze took his tooth card and walked to the corresponding position.He currently lives in the fourth rank, the position below Zhao Chengbi.Fang Yimin's official residence is the third grade, standing a little ahead of him.

Li Yuze looked at his friend Qingjun's back in an official robe, and thought it looked so good, he couldn't help staring at Zilan's back and giggling.

Hearing his laughter, the person in front of him turned his head and asked, "Congyi, what are you thinking, laughing so happily?"

Seeing that it was Zhao Chengbi who was asking him, Li Yuze hurriedly said: "No, no... I just came back from the Northland, and I haven't seen many people here for a long time. It was a moment of joy to see everyone, let Brother Zhao see It's a joke."

Zhao Chengbi has made great military achievements, even if he is now forced to retire due to injury, he still deserves Li Yuze's respect.

They played together when they were young, and for a while, Li Yuze's friendship with him was even worse than that with Fang Yimin.

It's just because Cho Seung-bi entered the military camp at a young age and fought in the south.And Li Yuze also followed his footsteps, but was assigned to the north.

The two were far apart, and although they shared the same goals, they lacked a lot of opportunities to communicate, and their relationship was not as close as that between Li Yuze and Fang Yimin.

Li Yuze has full respect for Zhao Chengbi for his elder brother and idols. Zhao Chengbi himself will never take these airs. Hearing this, he just smiled lightly: "Cong Yi has grown up in the Northland these years, and his mouth is much sweeter than before. , is no longer the little guy who talked and made people angry."

What he said was full of ridicule, and Li Yuze smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Zhao, don't make fun of me."

Zhao Chengbi finally saw this younger brother, but he was still as funny as when he was a child, how could he let him go so easily?

He pretended to be surprised and said: "Cong Yi's words really upset us. If you say you want Fang Zilan, Mr. Fang, I might still believe it a little bit. If you say you want to see my father, I'm afraid all the civil and military people in the court will be shocked." Roll your eyes!"

Thinking of this, Li Yuze couldn't help making a bitter face: "Brother Zhao, at the market that day... I, I really didn't do it on purpose."

Zhao Chengbi knew that his brother was stubborn by nature, not to mention that Li Yuze had just returned, did he have any grudges with him, how could it be that Li Yuze took the initiative to find trouble for his brother?

He blinked at Li Yuze: "Cong Yi, you have always kept your own place and won't take the initiative to cause trouble. I know that. It's just about my father. From my point of view, I'm afraid it's hard for you to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xiangming in front of him seemed to feel something, and looked in the direction of Li Yuze and Zhao Chengbi.

Just as Li Yuze wanted to say hello, the old man blew his beard and stared, and turned his head back shamelessly.

Zhao Chengbi patted Li Yuze's shoulder, gave him a look of "you wish you were lucky", and turned his head back.

The ministers didn't wait long before the eunuch whipped his whip, announcing the official start of the morning court.

This was the first time Li Yuze went to court since he returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Yesterday at home, he specially took the time to recall the various procedures and rules of going to court, so as not to be caught by others and accuse him of some serious crime of disrespect.

After kneeling down and saluting, Feng Qi appeared above him wearing a dragon robe.

The eunuch said: "If you have a book, you can play, but if you don't have a book, you will retreat."

"Your Majesty, the old minister learned about it yesterday, and until now, he still can't eat, and he can't sleep well!"

Zhao Xiangming stood up and said that he was about to cry, Li Yuze couldn't help but cover his face—I don't know, I thought he robbed Zhao Xianrong yesterday!

"Oh," Feng Qi sat up straight, his tone full of interest, "Why is Aiqing so worried?"

Zhao Xiangming bowed and pointed at Li Yuze who was covering his face: "Yesterday my son Xianrong went to the street and came back with a swollen face like a pig's head! After asking, I found out that it was General Li Yuze who beat my son like this! "

Li Yuze thought to himself, Master Zhao is indeed his own father, exactly the same as when his father scolded him, how cruel!Even if he beat Zhao Xianrong like that himself, he would be ashamed to say that the other party is a pig.

Feng Qi said: "Li Aiqing, is there really such a thing?"

Li Yuze immediately stood up straight, shook his head, and said solemnly: "Return to Your Majesty, it's nothing to do!"

——That's what Fang Yimin told him yesterday, no matter what Zhao Xiangming said, he would beat him to death and deny it.

He blinked his eyes, as if this matter had nothing to do with it.Zhao Xiangming was angry and couldn't help pointing at him, his fingers were trembling: "You!!!"

"Oh?" Feng Qi asked in an unclear manner, "Then you are saying that Mr. Zhao is deceiving the emperor?"

His Majesty's tone was so cold that Li Yuze couldn't help shrinking his neck.

He swallowed cowardly, shouting in his heart Zilan save me Zilan save me, on the surface he remained calm: "I don't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" Feng Qi had an expression on his face that he was enjoying the show, leaning his back on the dragon chair behind him, his expression was a little unnatural, and he pushed him down again.

... When Li Yuze was speechless, Fang Yimin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Feng Qi raised his chin at him, telling him to speak directly.Fang Yimin turned around, faced Mr. Zhao, and said calmly, "I think... this is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? My son was beaten like that by him. Do you think this is a misunderstanding?" Zhao Xiangming couldn't help complaining to Feng Qi, "Xianrong will go to the horse race in a few days, how can he get out now with such a pig's head. Your Majesty, I beg you to be the master for the old minister!"

It's okay if he didn't mention it, he always said that Zhao Xianrong was beaten into a pig's head, everyone couldn't help but start to imagine his son's facial features swollen, several people had a little smile in their eyes.

Zhao Chengbi looked at this unrestrained father, and thought about the face that his younger brother couldn't pick up after falling on the ground, so he couldn't help covering his face.

Fang Yimin still had that gentle appearance, and even his voice was gentle and clear, and he set a verdict against the furious Zhao Xiangming.

He said: "Yesterday morning Cong Yi came to my house. When I saw him, I found his fingers were bleeding. After asking, I found out that he met a dude molesting a girl on the road. Cong Yi was angry, so I followed him." The man fought."

"But that man is really powerful, with strong martial arts skills, so Cong Yi's finger was also injured." Fang Yimin blinked and asked, "I heard that your son's martial arts is not good, so the person Cong Yi met must not be Zhao. The second son of the family, right?"

Li Yuze was puzzled, his finger was obviously scratched by hitting Zhao Xianrong... Why is the script that Zilan said different from what I experienced?

But the other party gave him a "shut up" look, and he obediently remained silent, standing on the spot like a quail, looking left and right, but he didn't look at the "victim's family".

When Zhao Xiangming was asked such a question, he almost didn't come up in one breath - Fang Yimin was obviously giving him a step down, warning him not to be ignorant.

If he really insisted that Li Yuze beat Zhao Xianrong, wouldn't it be true that Zhao Xianrong robbed the women?But if he denies it, Li Yuze might have passed the matter today.

Zhao Xiangming smiled stiffly: "I...maybe I didn't remember well. When I go back, ask my son."

"That's good. Since it was a misunderstanding," Fang Yimin turned around and led Li Yuze to him, "We should also apologize to Cong Yi."

Li Yuze: Beating people and apologizing, earning money, this wave is not a loss!

"You! Fang Yimin, don't be too—" Zhao Xiangming glared at him angrily, but was interrupted by the latter, "Why, Mr. Zhao made such a fuss, he couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep, and His Majesty wasted a lot on you. Now you just want to dismiss everyone because of a misunderstanding?"

He used Zhao Xiangming's miserable words to block him just now, Feng Qi also looked at it, his eyes were unclear.

Zhao Xiangming couldn't get off the tiger, so he could only lower his head and give in to Li Yuze: "General Li, today... I was impulsive."

Li Yuze immediately waved his hands generously: "It's okay, it's okay."

Anyway, I was the one who beat your son.

Zhao Xiangming has always been tactful in doing things, and he knelt down to Feng Qi again, this time his attitude was much more sincere: "I deserve death for my crimes, and I am really guilty for making your majesty worry about such a trivial matter! I hope your majesty will forgive me."

He spoke impeccably, how could Feng Qi get into trouble at this moment, he said: "It's just a small matter, Ai Qing please get up."

A farce came to an end in this way, no one played again, and the deacon and eunuch announced his retirement.

Zhao Xiangming's complexion was much darker than when he first came here, and Li Yuze rushed to Fang Yimin's side excitedly following the flow of people, and put his arms around his shoulders: "Zilan, I am lucky to have you today!"

He didn't go to court much, and it was even rarer to go to court with Fang Yimin.It turns out that it feels so good to have someone backing you up!

For Fang Zilan, this was nothing more than a simple verbal battle.

Seeing Li Yuze's silly expression, he was also very happy, and pinched his fingers resentfully: "Why did you just stand there before and let him talk about you!"

And hitting someone hurt your hand... It's really useless.

If Li Yuze heard his slander, he would definitely retort with his eyes wide open—I hurt my hand, he was beaten into a pig's head, okay!Didn't you listen to what his father said? !

However, General Li didn't care about his friend's complaints. He just held his hand with his backhand, and his tone was still grateful: "They are better than me...but no matter how good they are, they are not as good as our Zilan. You are the best!"

It's funny to say that the decisive general who kills on the battlefield can only stare blankly in the face of these literati.

Fang Yimin glanced at him, and his tone was much gentler than before.He straightened Li Yuze's official robes, and said: "Next time you encounter something like this, you must tell me."

Li Yuze knew that Fang Yimin was suffering from the yin and yang qi before he felt sorry for him, but he was used to roughness, even though he was bullied at the time, he still had to eat and drink after the court, which didn't affect his mood.

So he comforted: "It's okay... I'm still afraid that they will be angry! After all, they are already old, and if they are angry, they might rely on me!"

Fang Yimin chuckled, and followed him forward: "Where are you going? My cook has researched some new dishes. If you are free, come to my house for dinner?"

The cook in Fang Yimin's house did not know where he hired him, and the food he cooked was very suitable for Li Yuze's appetite.He asked several times, but his friend refused to tell him, saying that if he told him, Li Yuze would not go to his place.

Li Yuze was about to nod his head when he suddenly heard the deacon and eunuch calling him.

He looked back in doubt, and heard the other party say: "General Li, please stay, Your Majesty has a request."
