Sun Yisheng originally planned to go straight to Gongtianfu Yamen. After all, Gongtianfu is responsible for the governance of the Xijing area, and Chen Shi wanted Gongtianfu to apologize, but then he thought: "If this matter gets serious, Mr. Chen will still be the one to suffer." ! This is a serious crime of beheading! Notify Master Chen Tang first!" He immediately rushed to the Hubu Yamen, but when he turned back, he followed them to the inspection school in Guangjiku and rushed to Gongtian Mansion. Sun Yisheng's heart sank, unable to stop the other party.
"This is Xijing after all. If it is in the wilderness, just do it..."
He was startled by his own thoughts. He has always been law-abiding, why did he suddenly have such an idea? "I didn't meet any bad people along the way, so why did I become a bad person?"
He rushed to the Hubu Yamen without thinking too much.
On the other side, in Gongtian Mansion, Gongtian Mansion Yin Xia Jiuge was discussing matters with Fu Cheng Gao Zhihuan, Zhizhong Yangan, Tongpan Magistrate Gu Dangli and others. At this time, Guangjiku Inspector rushed over and shouted: "Master Fuyin, something happened in Guangjiku!"
Tong Judgment Gu Dangli smiled and said, "Master Fu Yin is really clever!" Everyone expressed their admiration and stroked their beards.
The inspector Guangjiku couldn't help being surprised when he saw that everyone was not in a hurry.

Governor Xia Jiuge said with a smile: "Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. When something happened in Guangjiku, you should tell the Ministry of Household Affairs why they came to me?" The inspector bowed and told Ma Zongzhou and others about how they went to Guangjiku and were beaten up by the new ambassador of Guangjiku and hung on a dragon head rocket. Everyone laughed, and Gao Zhihuan said with a smile: "I have wronged my nephew Ma Shi. When things get serious, I have to promote him."
Governor Xia Jiuge laughed and said: "I, the new ambassador of Gongtian Mansion, have just taken office, and have just taken office. They went to Guangjiku to collect weapons such as blunt swords and waist knives. However, they were beaten, lynched, and tied to rockets to send them to heaven. Is this a big crime?"
Everyone laughed and said: "Big! Of course it's big!"
Yin Xia Jiuge said: "But it's not big enough. Master Yan, go over and let him beat you up and tie you to a rocket." Yan Qian is an official of the fifth rank in Zhizhong. After hearing this, the prefect Yin wanted to put Chen Shi to death, and smiled and said, "Okay! I'll go over there!" Fu Yin Xia Jiuge asked: "Do you know how to do it?"
Yan Gan laughed and said: "When I went to the place where I was going, I didn't say who I was, nor did I take out the adult's handwriting. I just asked him to let him go. When he didn't let me go, I insulted him. He was only a thirteen-year-old boy, so naturally he couldn't help but attack me. . ”
Hand of governor Xia Jiuge said sternly: “Don’t fight back, I’m worried that you are too advanced and will beat him to death.” Yan Qian smiled and said, “I just have to be patient.” After that, he left boldly.
On the other side, Sun Yisheng has already informed Chen Tang, the right minister of the household department, in a hurry. When Chen Tang heard what he said, his face darkened: "Chen Shi fell into the trap! Their purpose was to make him hurt others. He is still too young and not calm enough."
Sun Yisheng said: "What should I do now?"
Chen Tang pondered for a moment and said, "You go to Changchun. Enter the alley of Sandaokou of An Street, go to the fourth Tingyu Building, knock on the door, and speak politely, bowing at the door and saying that your son Xiao Shi is in danger. Please go to the rescue immediately. Remember, don’t wait until the door is opened. It’s easy to get into trouble. "
Sun Yisheng was slightly startled: "Son?"
Chen Tang said: "Don't ask too much, just do it." Sun Yisheng wrote it down and said: "Sir, what about you?"
Chen Tang continued to look through the documents in the eight warehouses and four warehouses of the household department, and said calmly: "I will wait for a while and go to block Gongtian Fu Yin on the road." Sun Yisheng left in a hurry, went straight to the outer city, and soon arrived at the Sandaokou Hutong of Chang'an Street.
He found the location mentioned by Chen Tang, went upstairs to the second room, knocked on the door, and told Chen Tangjiao what he said. A voice came from inside: "My son Xiao Shi? Haha, what did Chen Tang teach you?"
Sun Yisheng didn't dare to speak, so he was about to go downstairs. At this time, the voice in the room behind him lazily said: "I'm not going." Sun Yisheng was stunned, his heart felt cold, and he lost his voice: "You're not going?"
"No."
The voice in the room was very crisp and said, "My brother wants to use me, but how can I be plotted by him? I won't go." Sun Yisheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he hurried downstairs, thinking: "He won't go, he won't go... Who else can Mr. Chen go to?"
After burning the incense, Chen Tang put down his pen, closed the document, washed the ink again, wiped his hands, and then walked out of the household department. A moment later, he happened to meet Fu Yin Xia Jiuge's motorcade.
Xia Jiuge said with a smile: "I also heard that something happened in Guangjiku. Several of my officers from Gongtian Mansion were captured in Guangjiku. I went to take a look. Since we are on the same road, why don't Mr. Chen go with me?"
.
Chen Tang said: "It's not that Tang has any talent, but it's his responsibility. He can only be cautious and dare not slack off. The court saw that I am dedicated and diligent, so they appointed me as the right minister." Xia Jiuge smiled slightly and said, "The third-grade officer is over."
Chen Tang said: "I don't understand."
Wait here for me to delay for a moment so that the person asking for help can prepare. But Mr. Chen, have you ever thought that the target is not your son?” Chen Tang raised his eyes, looked at him, and said, “I don’t understand.”
Xia Jiuge said calmly: "You are in charge of eight warehouses and four warehouses in the position of the right servant. Among them are the money dispatch of the fifty provinces of Xiniu Xinzhou, the dispatch of grain, grass and baggage, the dispatch of gunpowder and firearms, disaster relief and payment of money. I don't know how many people depend on your breath to survive, but you are so unsocial. You are like a nail nailed to the position of the right servant and cannot be moved. The tree will die if you move it, and the people will live. If you don't move, you will live. I can only move you."
He looked directly into Chen Tang's eyes and said: "You don't accept money or beauty. If you don't accept it, how will others accept it? How will the minister accept it? I don't know how many people are watching your position, hoping that you will get down."
He leaned back slightly and said, "Whether you live or die today depends on whether you move your seat."
Chen Tang was silent for a moment and said: "The imperial court uses me because I have a bottom line. I am in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the money and grain of the Ming Dynasty will not collapse. Therefore, the cabinet, Sangong, Sixth Department, Dongchang, Fifth Battalion, Shenji, and Shenshu are all relieved. It was not their idea to move me.
He looked directly into Xia Jiuge's eyes and whispered: "Then, whose idea was it?
The two looked at each other for a moment. Xia Jiuge smiled and said: "After you become the number one scholar, you need to master money, food, grass, baggage, gunpowder and firearms." Chen Tang said: "Young master, you want me to give up the position of right minister of household affairs?"
He looked out the window: "I don't have much time for you to think about it. Go to Guangjiku and get off the car. If you don't move, you can collect the body." Chen Tang's face was as pale as an ancient well, without any disturbance.
Finally, Gongtianfu's motorcade arrived outside Guangjiku and stopped.
Xia Jiuge looked at the motionless Chen Tang, raised his eyebrows, half-smiled and said, "Sir Chen Tang is indeed ruthless." He stood up, and Chen Tang stood up and came in front of him and said, "I will open the door for you." Chen Tang got out of the car behind him and closed the door.
A group of officials from Gongtian Mansion came behind the two of them, and the government officials and soldiers came quickly and surrounded the gate of Guangjiku with murderous intent.
Outside the gate of Guangjiku, the fort was pushed out, and a two-foot-long dragon-headed rocket was placed on the fort. Ma Zongzhou, Zhou Qianying and others were riding on the rocket and were tied up. Many people were beaten to death, but a few who were awake were yelling and swearing, and some were begging for mercy.
In the treatment, Yan Qian was also beaten with a bruised nose and face. While he sternly scolded Ambassador Chen Shi for what he had done, he quietly gave a thumbs up to Xia Jiuge and others who were approaching.
Gao Zhihuan, the Prime Minister of the Prefecture, took a step forward and shouted: "You are so bold, how dare you touch the imperial officials of Gongtian Prefecture! These imperial officials came to collect the weapons on duty with the handwriting of Lord Fu Yin, but they were seriously injured by you. You are still hanging on the rocket!"
Zhizhong Yanqian shouted: "My lords, save me!"
The officials of Gongtian Mansion came forward to take a closer look. They all said in surprise: "It's Master Yan Qian from Zhi Zhong!" "How come Master Yan Gan was beaten too?" "You have committed a heinous crime and dared to hang Master Yan Gan on a rocket!
Gao Zhihuan was extremely angry. He stopped and said sternly: "Master Yan Gan is a fifth-rank official in Zhizhong. He came to question him on the order of the governor. How dare you do this to him!" The officials in Gongtian Mansion were furious and shouted that Chen Shi should be taken down and punished.
Chen Shi looked around and shouted: "What is the dog barking? Shut up!"
As soon as these words came out, even the governor Xia Jiuge became furious and said sternly: "Bandit, really a gangster! Come on, get him for me!" Sun Yisheng rushed over in a hurry, walked quickly to Chen Tang's side, and shook his head gently , whispered: "Sir, the person in the room doesn't want to come."
Chen Tang was startled, looking at Xia Jiuge's back with a complicated expression, he hesitated, and immediately walked towards Xia Jiuge.
All the government officials and soldiers of Gongtian Mansion formed their own formations, and they were about to surround him with murderous intent. Suddenly, they heard a sharp voice shouting: "Stop! Stop it!" When Xia Jiuge, the governor, saw the person coming, his heart was slightly shaken. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowed and said, "Brother, why are you here?"
The person who spoke was none other than Xia Canghai, the Minister of Rites, who was also the cabinet bachelor. He was the face of the Xia family in the court. He glanced at him coldly, walked quickly towards Chen Shi, and laughed and said: "Master Chen just took office today, and I didn't expect that such an unpleasant thing happened. This matter was originally a misunderstanding."
Young Master, don’t take the whole Xia family hostage! Don’t do this, Fu Yin, go back!”
At this time, another cabinet minister came and laughed and said: "It's the first day that Mr. Chen took office. I came here in a hurry. I didn't buy any gifts. Please forgive me for coming empty-handed!"
Gao Zhihuan was surprised again! He was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, saying: "Brother, Chen Shi has committed a crime..."
Gao Quan walked towards Chen Shi with a smile on his face, and his eyes were extremely serious. Gao Zhihuan was startled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Gao Quan laughed loudly, cupped his hands to Chen Shi and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!" Another cabinet minister, Yan Shuhe, also came up with a smile and congratulated Chen Shi on his new appointment. He didn't even look at Zhi Zhongyan, who was tied to the rocket, and just exchanged greetings with Chen Shi. Sun Yisheng stared at this scene blankly, then walked to Chen Tang and whispered: "Sir, is Mr. Chen the young master?"
Chen Tang frowned: "He is my son, and he is definitely not that young master."
Sun Yisheng murmured: "Then, why did Lord Chen ask these cabinet ministers to come over and clear up the relationship between the major families?" Chen Tang was also extremely confused and said, "You have been to Xinxiang. Do you know anything that I don't know?"
Sun Yisheng shook his head and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Old lady Wuzhu from Huangpo Village was very disrespectful to him." Chen Tang said, "Old lady Wuzhu was not disrespectful to anyone."
At this time, the three adults in the cabinet finished their greetings and said goodbye to Chen Shi.
Sun Yisheng whispered: "Sir, Mr. Chen's official position seems to be higher than that of your right minister!" Chen Tang snorted.
Xia Canghai walked towards Xia Jiuge, the governor, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "My Xia family can support the young master, but we will not all support the young master, let alone offend another taboo. Jiu Ge, you are not young, please retire and return to your hometown."
Xia Jiuge lowered his head, with tears in his eyes. He is in his prime and not old at all.
But for the Xia family, he is already old and is not suitable to continue sitting in the position of Gongtian Fu Yin.
