Da Wei Chun

Chapter 241
Acting plays a full set.

Since when Zhang Jingzhi and Guo Cunxin came, Li's house prepared plain banquets, so it's impossible for Daxi to have a big banquet when he came?

Daxi, a shameless person, actually said he was going to his daughter-in-law?
Li Chengzhi almost poohed him.

Brothel definitely can not go.

It's not a hindrance.

In the 24th dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the only emperor who advocated and encouraged the development of prostitution in order to stimulate domestic demand, raise taxes, and promote the development of prostitution.

It was not only the Li and Tang Dynasties that officials and scholars became popular with prostitutes and were rumored to be good stories.

Compared with Li Tang, the atmosphere of the Northern Wei Dynasty is more open, so what's the point of visiting a brothel?
Besides, this kind of place in this era is actually similar to the star-rated hotels in later generations, so we don't necessarily have to scratch at that point.

But if you really dare to go to the brothel, I don't know if Li Sixian's leg will be broken, but Li Chengzhi's leg will be broken by Guo Yuzhi [-]% of the time.

The main reason is that Li Chengzhi not only has no heirs, but even half of his wives and concubines. I am afraid that he will get caught up in it...

Furthermore, even if others dared to take him there, Li Chengzhi would not go there even if he was killed.

I don't even look at the relationship between him and these people: father and son, Weng son-in-law, uncle and nephew...

As soon as Li Chengzhi thought of the scene of visiting brothels with these people, his scalp felt numb.

If he wanted to go, he would only go with Daxi...Of course, just to drink, at most he would sing songs and recite poems...

Under Li Chengzhi's reminder, the five men finally went to the post house, and they didn't invite actors, but just ordered good food and wine on the table. Daxi was accompanied by Zhang Jingzhi and Guo Cunxin, and drank from noon to midnight...

……

Sensing that there seemed to be movement around him, Daxi opened his eyes in a daze, saw that it was Xi Kangsheng, and turned over in shock: "Father?"

Xi Kangsheng opened his mouth and scolded: "You bastard, I asked you to visit and make friends, not to get drunk... You missed the morning meeting, will you let your father punish you or not?"

Daxi kept admitting his mistakes, and scolded Li Chengzhi in his heart: Don't you remind yourself?
I didn't expect that the wine was so strong. I remember that after drinking seven or eight cups, I didn't know why I was drunk?

No wonder Zhang Jingzhi and Guo Cunxin just sip it?
Slandering in his heart, Xi Kangsheng pointed to something beside him, and asked Da Xi angrily: "Where did you come from?"

Daxi took a closer look and found that it was a meteorite knife.

Yes, where did it come from?

Oh, I remembered...

Da Xi respectfully replied: "It was from Li Chengzhi...he said it was a gift in return..."

Xi Kangsheng had a weird face.

return gift?

Does that mean it's over?

It's not that he thinks the saber is light.

To be honest, in terms of value, the things that Daxi sent yesterday are enough.

Another one, at his level, this is not what matters...

He was surprised that Li Chengzhi was really bohemian and willful. He was born in a family of scholars and scholars, but he didn't take etiquette as a gift at all, so he didn't even pretend to be?
Also, didn't Li Chengzhi say that the one given to him was the last one?

Where did this one come from?

"It was Zhang Sima...it was Li Chengzhi who said that he couldn't come up with a suitable gift for the time being, can I delay him for two days..."

Da Xi replied, with a very unusual expression on his face, as if he was asking why he couldn't meet such a Yue family:

"Then... Then I saw Li Chengzhi and Zhang Sima muttering a few words, Zhang Sima untied the knife, and Li Chengzhi passed it on to his nephew... Well, Zhang Sima must have been drunk at the time..."

It means that this knife was cheated by Li Chengzhi while Zhang Fengzhi was drunk?

The flesh on Xi Kangsheng's face was twitching, and he didn't know what to say.

After holding back for a long time, he cursed angrily: "Bastard...absurd...presumptuous..."

Can't make up a return gift?
How can it be so direct?
Even among the Yuan clan (Xianbei), who are known for their boldness and straightforwardness, they would never speak so bluntly!
And this knife... How can there be a gift for Yue Zhang, and a reason to ask for it back?
How shameless is this?
He's not afraid to spread the word and be laughed out of his teeth?
"Two bastards who don't know the importance... Li Chengzhi dared to send it, but you dared to take it?" Xi Kangsheng cursed, then stretched out his hand, "Bring it?"

Da Xi was startled: "Huh?"

I didn't know that Daxi was unwilling, Xi Kangsheng became more and more angry when he thought about it, and he almost did it: "It's so stupid... If this is spread, it will be thought that you used your power to oppress others and take it by force. Your reputation Do you want it?"

Impatient with Da Xi pestering him to plead for mercy, Xi Kangsheng took the knife and left before finishing his scolding.

Da Xi was crying, as if his wife had been snatched away, as if life would be worse than death.

It's over, grandpa's peerless sword...

……

Not long after dawn, before the sun came out, the government hall was full of officials.There are three or 40 people.

Most of them are civil and military bureaucrats from Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, and a small number of them are Xi Kangsheng's followers and staff, such as Zhang Jingzhi.

Some are in small groups, chatting in low voices, and some are leaning against the wall and pillars, closing their eyes and resting their minds.Just wait for the sound of the court drum, and they will shout "guard" to welcome Xi Kangsheng.

To put it bluntly, the "morning meetings" in local states and counties are no different from the court officials in Beijing.As soon as the chief official arrives, all subordinate officials should report and discuss matters.When the morning meeting is over and the drum is sounded, work will be dismissed.

Yes, it is the origin of the retreat in later generations.

It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang changed the tradition of beating drums and raising and lowering Ya flags at the beginning and end of classes to beating cloud boards.

Of course, getting off work is not the same as getting off work. If the time is early, all officials and officials will go back to each department, department, and room to take care of their own affairs.

As for whether to take care of the meal, whether to take care of the morning meal or lunch, it will depend on the situation, such as whether the imperial court or the local economy is relatively rich.

This custom began in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it became a rule.If the court meeting is early, then the food will be taken care of, and if the court meeting is late, then lunch will be taken care of.

But no matter which meal is in charge, in most dynasties, in most years, it is usually Shenshi, that is, the government will go down around three o'clock, so a meeting, plus this meal, at least half a day, At most half a day, or even a whole day, just passed by like this.

And there are so many holidays.

Since the Han Dynasty, all dynasties and generations have basically continued to bathe every five days, that is, one day off after four days of work, and there are roughly six days of vacation in January.

Including the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei Dynasty.

In addition, there will be holidays on New Year's Day, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Four Seasons Solstice and other festivals. As for whether it is one day or three days, it varies from the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The rest of the holidays also differed between the two dynasties: for example, in the Yuan and Wei dynasties at this stage, both Lao Tzu's birthday and Buddha's birthday would have one day off, but Nanliang only released the day of Buddha.

Because Emperor Liang only believed in Buddhism.

And when it came to Yuan Ke's birthday, as well as the birthdays of his biological mother and Emperor Xiaowen, Yuan and Wei would also have a day off each, but Nanliang would not, and only Xiao Shengchen's day would be released.

Because Xiao Yan was the founding emperor, his parents only gave it as a posthumous gift...

Li Chengzhi did the math, and if it was true, the officials in the Yuan and Wei dynasties could take almost ninety days of rest a year, and they would soon catch up with the Song Dynasty, which treated the officials most favorably.

And there is no need to leave the yamen before Muxiu, as before the Jin Dynasty, and must live in the official yamen, let alone "night duty", only "rotation duty".

As long as you get off work at [-]:[-], you should go home and hug your wife, go shopping in brothels, listen to music, drink and drink, no one cares about you...

Thinking about it this way, being an official is actually quite comfortable...

According to the practice of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, the meeting was originally held every five days and one morning, but Jingzhou was devastated and was waiting to be rebuilt, so naturally the old rules could not be copied.

Therefore, after Xi Kangsheng entered the city, he not only changed the meeting every five days to the morning meeting every day, but also changed the time of going to the Yamen from Chenshichu (seven o'clock in the morning) to Maoshizheng (six o'clock in the morning), and changed it to the real one. The "Dian Mao".

In addition, the time of Xia Ya was also changed from Shen Shizheng ([-]:[-] p.m.) to Xu Shichu ([-]:[-] p.m.), which was not only one hour earlier, but also four hours later.

It even canceled the official five-day-one-bath holiday.

As for overtime pay... what good thing do you want?

Most of those officials who came in small groups and muttered in low voices were talking about this.

Li Chengzhi has no official position, but only has the title of "Captain", so naturally he can only stand at the back.

He was leaning on a pillar and squinting, listening to the nearby officials scolding Liu Huiwang, and occasionally uttering a few words to complain about Xi Kangsheng.

Even the emperor was scolded by people, so Li Chengzhi was not surprised at all, just to relieve his boredom.

Listening, he noticed a small voice around him, as if someone was coming, Li Chengzhi opened his eyelids, and saw Daxi walking from outside the hall with a mournful face.

Got scolded?
Li Chengzhi was suspicious, and Daxi hurried to his side, and muttered anxiously and distressed: "The knife was taken away from the father?"

Li Chengzhi's eyes popped: "Why?"

No matter how you look at it, Xi Kangsheng wouldn't be so stingy, even snatching his own son's things?
"My father scolded us as a pair of bastards..."

Just halfway through speaking, he suddenly heard a drum beating outside the hall. Daxi looked up and saw that Xi Kangsheng had already entered the main hall.

Where did he dare to be wordy, he tried his best to suppress his voice: "Anyway, you handle it carefully..."

As he spoke, Da Xi quickly pushed forward.

He is a fifth-rank general, only one level lower than the governor and don't drive, so it is impossible to stand at the back like Li Chengzhi, but in the second row.

A pair of bastards?
Li Chengzhi rolled his eyes and understood.

It must be that Xi Kangsheng felt that it was inappropriate for him to take back the knife he had given to Zhang Jingzhi and give it to Daxi...

My father also said that it was not suitable, and thinking about it at this time, it was indeed a bit inappropriate.

Then you can only owe it first.

As for dealing with it carefully... At most, I will be scolded.

Thinking about it in his heart, he clasped his fists together with the officials on the left and right, and called "Guardian".

After straightening up, I felt a sudden silence around me, and there was no sound. Those officials who were complaining just now, let alone muttering, seemed to dare not even vent their breath.

Li Chengzhi couldn't help being a little surprised: Is Xi Kangsheng so majestic?

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw the officials next to him looking at him in horror, their faces turned pale with fright, and then suddenly realized.

These few were so busy talking about Xi Kangsheng, they only thought that standing next to them was Xiao Xiami, who was as low as their official position and couldn't be lowered. Who would have thought that this young man with little beard had grown up with Xi Kangsheng? How close is the guardian servant?
If they were to sue for their arrangement of Xi Kangsheng's words, these few would have to peel off their skins even if they were not dead.

Seeing him raise his head, several officials bowed in panic, as if they were in imminent disaster.

Li Chengzhi just smiled, didn't say much, and returned a salute.

Seeing his extraordinary appearance, he seemed not to have too much power, so an official asked boldly: "Your Excellency looks at the face, dare to ask your surname?"

"Miangui's surname is Li!" Li Chengzhi smiled slightly, "My father Li Shixian..."

"Lee Si Hyun... Li Chengzhi?"

The official exclaimed.

Following his call, at least a dozen of them turned their heads in unison, as if a switch had been installed.

Li Chengzhi?
Wasn't it Li Chengzhi who finally quelled the Jingzhou Rebellion by himself?
It wasn't bright enough before, and there weren't many lights in the hall, so I couldn't see clearly.But at this moment, looking at Li Chengzhi's appearance alone, how could Jingzhou find a second one?
Good guy, he didn't even care about Xi Kangsheng in the hall, as if the Chinese people of later generations saw a giant panda, and the few rows behind stretched their necks in unison, wishing to stick them to Li Chengzhi's face to see clearly, his face was both envious and angry. In admiration, the eyes shine brightly.

Li Chengzhi was not happy but surprised: Is it going to be bad?

Sure enough, there was a roar in the hall: "You bastard...don't get out?"

I'm going to be killed by you...

Li Chengzhi sighed helplessly, and arched his hands left and right.

Just three or two breaths, only a few rustlings, it was five or six feet from the door to the yamen hall, but it was as if he had been slashed, and dozens of officials all made way for him.

Xi Kangsheng was in the hall, so no one dared to make a noise, so they didn't dare to make a sound.But as long as Li Chengzhi passed by, no one stood still.

Those with lower official positions and younger ones are bowing, and those with higher official positions and older ages will nod even if they do not know how to salute because of their status.

These are all the officials and officials of the governor's office. To put it bluntly, their lives, as well as the lives of their families, were all saved by Li Chengzhi...

Li Chengzhi held his fists all the way, smiling shyly, as gentle and gentle as he wanted, as sunny as he wanted.

Many people were surprised: This is really the Li Chengzhi who wiped out nearly [-] thieves, killed people in the city of Jingzhou, and scorched corpses everywhere?

There are also those who react quickly, and naturally think of those rumors: sinister and cunning, the city is deep...

If it was really a good one, how could he make such a great contribution?

Walking to the front of the hall, Li Chengzhi saw Zhang Jingzhi standing by Xi Kangsheng's side, and the knife was slung on his waist again.

Taking a closer look, Zhang Jingzhi's face was a little embarrassed, probably because he was scolded.

Gifts can send things?
Li Chengzhi muttered to himself, cupped his hands and bowed down: "I've seen the guard..."

"Damn things..."

Xi Kangsheng cursed, and threw another thing into his arms, "Let me remember what happened today, if you can't handle the errand, we will settle the old and new scores together..."

errand?

Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat, he subconsciously took the things Xi Kangsheng threw, and looked down, it was actually an official order.

It was barely two fingers wide, and the small words on it were almost invisible: Cang Cao participated in the military!

Just seal yourself such an official?

Li Chengzhi raised his head and stared at Xi Kangsheng in a daze.
