Chen Tongwen knows it's hard to get along. He can only get along with it. He also expects the emperor to send him more errands. If he can't even do a decree, what errands can he expect the emperor to arrange for him?
At this point, he has to do it or not.
Therefore, Chen Tongwen had no choice but to order Shao Junwen, a hundred families of royal guards led by his subordinates, to go straight to the governor's Yamen and order Governor Liu Zeqiao to come out to meet the imperial envoy Angel announced by the imperial court.
Although Shao Junwen is only a hundred families of royal guards, he is only a seven grade military officer, but as an angel of the imperial court, he can give orders to the three grade governor of the shepherd side.
However, this is not an order, it can only be called Tongchuan. After all, the objects of service of the two sides are different. Shao Junwen is the emperor's special envoy, the son of heaven's personal soldiers, and they are superior everywhere, while Liu Yuanqiao can only be regarded as a senior official of the imperial court.
Shao Junwen came to the governor's Yamen. In front of the tall and powerful governor's Yamen, a tall and towering memorial archway was built, and the Yamen was rebuilt, which looked very dignified.
Liu Yuanqiao has a unique feature. What others pay attention to is that officials don't build Yamen. He's good. He builds his yamen brilliantly. It's the tradition of the imperial court that officials don't build yamen, because the imperial court likes to save officials. If officials have money, they are greedy and spend money on building Yamen. Once their term of office expires, they have to move away and give others a free price, Therefore, no official would take the initiative to repair the yamen, and would be afraid to give a bad impression to the imperial court and the people. Therefore, most Yamen in the Ming Dynasty looked very dilapidated and old. They only reluctantly repaired them unless they were really unable to live.
This also gives Shao Junwen an impression that the Liu family is really rich in general.
Shao Junwen directly came to the governor's Yamen and said loudly, "we are the special envoys ordered by the imperial court to announce the decree. We immediately ordered Governor Liu Yuanqiao to receive the decree."
In front of the governor's Yamen, people come and go, and several yamen guards defend here. When they see the royal guards coming, they are not surprised. For each other's loud cry, one yamen guard said loudly, "do you understand the rules? You have to line up when you come here." he pointed to the nearby gatehouse.
In front of the governor's Yamen, although people come and go, the main thing is to queue in and out.
Shao Junwen felt humiliated. I was a special envoy of the imperial court. You and other local officials came to meet me. I was afraid I had to queue up to see him. What kind of rule is this, so he shouted: "Don't you know that we are the royal guards in the capital? The imperial envoy of the imperial court and the Minister of rites, Duke Chen, will be here soon. Don't you fear to ask you a crime of neglecting the imperial court?"
When the Yamen serviceman saw that the other party's big hat was buckled, he was not afraid. He said, "a little eunuch, no official and no product, not even people, dares to order me Lord Liu to meet him. What kind of rule is this?"
In the Apocalypse Dynasty, eunuchs are a very beautiful and feared profession. You know, most eunuchs can bully with their power, but in the Chongzhen Dynasty, these eunuchs are not popular. Even the top ones are not popular, let alone their minions.
Shao Junwen was very angry when he was contradicted by a small yamen of the other party. He said, "Liu Yuanqiao is so famous. Is this how he manages his subordinates?"
These yamen servants should be afraid when this big hat is buttoned down. After all, the other party is royal guards and imperial envoys from the capital. However, the Yamen servant seems to have a lot of confidence. He doesn't know whether he is under the command of others or what. He directly said: "How does my lord Liu manage me and others? My Lord is responsible for it. Your little royal guards, how can you comment on my lord?"
At this stage, Shao Junwen understood that Liu Yuanqiao must be the chief envoy. Otherwise, a small yamen would not dare to contradict the special envoy of the imperial court.
Shao Junwen knew that the other party was soft confrontation, so he had to say loudly, "aren't you afraid of the emperor's blame when you wait so rude and don't know the etiquette?"
"Who doesn't know the etiquette?" at this time, Wang Wendong, an important aide around Liu Yuanqiao, came out. Wang Wendong is now a colleague of Laizhou government, but he often works in Dengzhou because he knows that Dengzhou is a troubled time, so he gives advice around Liu Yuanqiao.
Shao Junwen finally saw an official coming out. He immediately said loudly, "the special envoy of the imperial court, father-in-law Chen Tongwen, will be here soon. Can't you wait to meet him?"
Wang Wendong nodded and said, "it's the special envoy of the imperial court. It's really far from welcome!"
He said it was far from welcome, but he didn't mean any respect. He immediately made people prepare and went back to inform him.
At this time, the driver of Chen Tongwen and others had come to the door of the governor's Yamen, but he didn't see Liu Yuanqiao and others setting up a incense table and kneeling on the ground to receive the order. Moreover, Liu Yuanqiao hasn't appeared yet. There are many people watching the excitement next to the door. These people are still pointing at them for the continuous increase. As soon as Chen Tongwen saw such a scene, he said He didn't like it immediately, and his face sank. He was thinking that he had to take a good hold of Liu Yuanqiao this time to let him know how to be a man.
But after they put on the full guard of honor, they waited for a moment. Liu Yuanqiao led the officials of the governor's Yamen. Shi Shi ran came out. Liu Yuanqiao was born an adjutant. He was tall and powerful, with a square face, sharp edges and corners, especially dignified. He was wearing a three-grade red official uniform, which was even more powerful.
Liu Yuanqiao saw the special envoy of the proclamation. He made a deep bow and said, "Minister Liu Yuanqiao listened to the edict respectfully."
Boss Chen Tongwen didn't like it. He tossed for so long and now he saw the Lord, so he said sarcastically, "Lord Liu is so powerful. All the Imperial Envoys of the imperial court have come and have to wait for you at the door."
Liu Yuanqiao is a man who is good at debate and is not inferior to others. He immediately asked, "how many grades do you live in, and what position do you hold in the court?"
Chen Tongwen is a high-ranking official and thinks of himself as an imperial envoy. However, in the eyes of Liu Yuanqiao and others, unless he is a minister of the imperial court and has a reputation, he is not an imperial envoy at all. He is only an errand runner now. For example, Wu Zhongda goes south to the south of the Yangtze River. He is called an imperial envoy.
Chen Tongwen was so upset by the other party. He said, "I've heard of the eight sided Buddha Liu Yuanqiao for a long time. It's exquisite and has heaven and earth in my sleeve. It's really great."
Both of them are now regarded as good people who don't come, and those who come are not good. Moreover, they didn't have a good face at the beginning. They are full of gunpowder. Therefore, Chen Tongwen couldn't get the respect he wanted here. He couldn't help but satirize. However, Liu Yuanqiao was really not bullied, and he immediately fought back.
Liu Yuanqiao said, "excuse me, father-in-law, how many grade officials do you have? You talk wildly to me. If it's not for the emperor's sake, I'll slap you in the face immediately as an example."
In fact, Liu Yuanqiao can really do this. After all, he is the third ranking official of the imperial court and the Minister of the shepherd side. The other side is just a eunuch without official and quality. He dares to say sarcastic words to him. It's not negotiable to beat him, but there is a saying called beating the dog to watch the master. Even if it's a dog of others, if the other side's master is dignified, It's not like you call.
When Liu Yuanqiao said this, Chen Tongwen was flushed with anger. He knew that the other party would not dump him and wanted to get some money by relying on the identity of this angel. It was not easy, so he immediately shook up. He said, "is this how you meet the imperial edict? Do you know the rules as a third grade Minister? Where is the incense table?"
If the other party is the real leader of the ceremony supervisor, who has power and power, Liu Yuanqiao is estimated to be wary of three points, but the other party is just a powerless eunuch, there is no backstage, and he can't deliver in front of the emperor. He still wants to pinch him and rip him off. Isn't that funny? Is his nickname Liu Yuanqiao, the eight faced Buddha, white?
Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "you Chen Tongwen are just a tasteless eunuch. Why do you toss so many tricks? My official duties are heavy. If you don't read it out again, I won't serve you."
When Liu Yuanqiao said this, he put Chen Daowen directly in the corner. Chen Tongwen himself has no power and can only rely on the prestige of the imperial court and the royal family. However, when he met the real strength faction of Liu Yuanqiao, even the backer behind him is not a bird. He wants to rely on his skin tiger claw tiger power, which is not easy.
Moreover, as soon as Liu Yuanqiao came out, he was dignified and his aura was very strong. After it came out, many people stood aside and watched the excitement with a smile. However, as soon as Liu Yuanqiao came out, these people half bent down and saluted Liu Yuanqiao, expressing great respect. Not everyone has this kind of prestige.
Chen Tongwen saw that the other party was so arrogant and domineering. He knew that he couldn't handle the other party, so he had to take out the Edict and prepare to read it out.
Chen Tongwen also knows that the imperial court is actually making trouble for Liu Yuanqiao and the three East houses this time. You want others to give you a good face. In fact, you think a little too much. Liu yuanqiang is a powerful local faction after all. If he doesn't bird them as slaves for the Emperor, they have no way and can't get the other party's bamboo.
Chen Tongwen had to take out the imperial edict and read it aloud: "By heaven, the emperor said: there are many heroes in Qilu since ancient times. Today, Liu Yuanqiao in Laizhou was born as Yin supervisor, but he didn't learn any skills. The governor Denglai has a good government and a harmonious people. He was awarded the title of Jindu censor in the special Canadian metropolitan police Academy. He was given a python robe and a son of Yin. There are thousands of royal guards. Nowadays, the imperial court is in a troubled time. Taicang can't make ends meet. He ordered officer Liu to collect 1 million liang of tattooed silver locally as a tax, which is limited to the beginning of autumn It shall be handed in before delivery, and there shall be no error. "
