Chapter 336 [Continued] Dengwen Drum

With a word from Emperor Yongtai, Cui Yunhao jumped from the sixth-rank editor to the sixth-rank attendant. Among the new subjects, there are few Jinshi who are promoted so quickly, but Cui Yunhao caught up with him. .

As soon as the news spread, everyone in the Imperial Academy was envious.

But envy is also in vain. Wan Jianjian, who was next to Cui Yunhao at the table, also sighed, and said: "Most of the people who entered the Imperial Academy at the beginning had read those few books on national history, but no one You are the only one who is willing to take on this troublesome job, and thinking about it now, this is also your opportunity."

After speaking, he congratulated Cui Yunhao a few words, and it was obvious that he was sincerely happy for him. Cui Yunhao smiled and said, "It's just luck."

Wan Jianzheng shook his head, and said: "In this way, everyone has had this luck, but you are the only one who caught it."

Cui Yunhao just smiled and stopped talking.

When night fell, Cui Yunhao still hadn't come back. Chu Yingying lit up the lamps and candles in the yard. She leaned against the table and read the books, all of which were medical records given to her by the old doctor Zhang.

The candle flame jumped for a while, and she was startled. An unknown insect was singing outside the window, with a long sound and a short sound.

Chu Yingying stood up and flicked the wick. The originally dim candlelight immediately brightened a lot. There were slight footsteps outside the door, which was very familiar.

"Nayang Youda is a disciple of Elder Liu Ge, can I ask Elder Liu Ge to help me with a word?"

The air was quiet for a moment, and the candle flame flickered. At this moment, an official boldly said, "Why don't we send someone to the Ministry of Punishment to see if we can suppress the news."

Chu Yingying was taken aback, she had never thought that Cui Yunhao would be promoted to a first-rank official in just one month, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

The prince was so angry that he dropped another teacup, and cursed: "What a bunch of ignorant creatures! Stupid as pigs and dogs!"

There was silence in the lobby, and everyone dared not make a sound.

"I'm afraid it's not right," another person said: "Shang Shu Yang Youda of the Ministry of Punishment is a member of His Highness King Yong. If we send someone there, isn't it just a matter of talking?"

Cui Yunhao nodded: "I know, Yingying seemed to be in Chizhou at that time?"

She thought for a while, and said to Cui Yunhao: "I saw someone beating Dengwen drum today."

"Yingying?"

The few officials were all silent, afraid to speak, the crown prince gasped, his eyes swept over them viciously, and said: "The matter of Baisongjiang has been settled long ago, what should be killed, what should be done, what? Another daughter of the magistrate of Chizhou appeared today? She even brought the matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, why don’t you just report it to the emperor directly?”

Cui Yunhao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Who is it?"

Hearing this, Cui Yunhao smiled, his eyes brightened, and said: "Yingying, the emperor has promoted me to an official position today, and after the end of the year, I will be able to serve as an attendant in the Imperial College."

Cui Yunhao explained today's events in detail, until Chu Yingying heard the word "Prince", Chu Yingying's heart sank fiercely, and some clues appeared on her face, and such a clue was being captured by Cui Yun Hao saw it.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and a figure draped in the night stepped into the door, calling her with a smile: "Yingying, I'm back."

Cui Yunhao called out twice tentatively, and Chu Yingying came back to her senses, saw the worry in his eyes, and said, "Yingying, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Yingying replied, "Did you know that the Baisong River broke its embankment and flooded at the beginning of May?"

With a sound of "啪——", another teacup fell to pieces, and blood flowed from the official's forehead immediately. The prince's expression was sullen, and he said coldly: "Is it your turn to memorize the laws of the Great Zhou?"

Prince's Mansion.

"Snapped--"

"Okay, okay!" The prince stared, and said coldly: "It's not you, could it be lonely?"

Chu Yingying shook her head and said, "It's just that I just remembered some old things, and I'm a little distracted."

Standing in the hall, Prince Duan Geng, dressed in uniform, pointed at several officials kneeling on the ground with one finger, almost bursting with anger in his eyes: "It's you?!"

Chu Yingying didn't really go to smell it, but Cui Yunhao looked a bit disappointed.

He thought, Yingying really recognized this person.

The current prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Duan Geng.

Cui Yunhao thought for a moment, and then said: "I have also heard about the case of Chizhou magistrate committing suicide in fear of crime, and the case has already been closed... If his daughter really came to beat Dengwengu, I am afraid that this matter will not calm down for a while. .”

The crown prince calmed down quite a bit now, glanced at them, and said: "Now the booklet has been handed in, you usually have no skills, but now I have an idea, there will be a sacrifice tomorrow, if this happens to stab father I'm afraid everyone can't afford to go to the emperor's place!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned deep, and some thoughtful thoughts appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Tomorrow is Jixia, according to the regulations, the emperor will order the fourth supervisor to sacrifice to the spirit of the ancestral temple and the country, it would be better if he didn't go in the daily newspaper tomorrow." , if it is reported, it may not be good."

As he spoke, he raised his sleeve and handed it over, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, take a look?"

Perhaps it was really just the smell of alcohol, which was very faint, and disappeared into the air in an instant.

Chu Yingying poured a glass of water, pushed it to him, and asked curiously: "Why do you want to be the host today?"

The official shook his head again and again, the prince pointed at the next official again, and said angrily, "That's you?!"

The few remaining people also kowtowed one after another: "Look at His Highness's enlightenment."

Cui Yunhao agreed, and the two of them set up the bowls and chopsticks. The air was extremely quiet, and only the slight sound of the collision of the bowls and plates could be heard. Chu Yingying had something on her mind, so she seemed a little absent-minded at this moment.

The fine ancient kiln fine porcelain teacup was smashed to pieces on the blue brick floor, accompanied by an angry man's voice: "Who brought this up?!"

Cui Yunhao shook his head, sat down on the chair, and said: "I didn't drink, today I was the host, and invited a few colleagues to the restaurant, they all drank, only I didn't drink, really."

At this moment, an official kneeling at the end kowtowed, and said: "Your Highness, calm down, and the ministers dare not make decisions without authorization, but there is a decree from the Emperor Tai Gaozu that when the Dengwen drum is played, the chief minister must immediately accept the case." If you don't accept it immediately, the crime will be increased, and if you dare to stop it, you will be given a heavy sentence. Your Highness, this case goes directly to the court case, and even if you are brave enough, you will not dare to hide it."

The official looked like a quail, trembling, kowtowed: "No, not a minister."

Cui Yunhao didn't ask, Chu Yingying got up and said, "Let's eat first, it's all hot in the pot, waiting for you to come back, if you're not full, use some more."

Everyone immediately said in unison: "Your Highness, calm down."

The official didn't dare to cry out in pain, let alone reach out to wipe the blood on his forehead, he just kowtowed desperately and said repeatedly: "Your Highness, calm down!"

With just one glance, Chu Yingying knew that Cui Yunhao was a little drunk, and she asked suspiciously, "Are you going to drink?"

He raised his eyes to look over, his gaze was burning, Chu Yingying could only avoid it a little, and changed the subject, "The person who beat the Dengwen drum is the daughter of the former Zhizhou of Chizhou. I have met her before."

"Yang Youda has always been soft and tough, and his relationship with Mr. Liu Ge is not very close. How can he listen?"

"What do you say……"

There was a lot of discussion underneath, but they quarreled for a long time, but nothing came out, but the prince's face became darker and darker, and it seemed that there was a tendency to fight the bottom of the pot.

The officials were also aware of it, and gradually stopped talking.
