Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 130 Outside Dali Temple
"The current plan is to find a way to procrastinate and see what the other party does. We have no choice but to dismantle the tricks." Chen Yaozuo stroked his beard and nodded lightly.

Li Ce began to worry secretly. He thought that he would be enough to protect him when he found the teacher this time, but he didn't expect that things would be so complicated, and he was the most unlucky one. He happened to be in the eye of the storm, and if he was not careful, he would be smashed to pieces.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and Mrs. Chen brought a pot of tea to the three of them. As she walked, she said softly: "It will scare the children. Aren't you going to find Deng Guogong? But rest."

"Cer, stay here tonight, and go to Dali Temple tomorrow morning." Chen Yaozuo picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, while Mrs. Chen had already taken clothes for him to put on.

"The two brothers with me are still waiting for me at the inn. If I don't go back, they will be anxious. Let's go back." Li Ce also got up and walked out with Chen Yaozuo.

"Alright, I'll go to Deng Guogong to discuss it first. Tomorrow I will leave the court for my teacher and Deng Guogong will rush to Dali Temple as soon as possible. Don't mess up." Chen Yaozuo got on the carriage and told Li Ce.

The Deng Guogong he was talking about was Zhang Shixun, who is now a member of the Six Books, and now he is 68 years old. He also served as a prime minister during the Zhenzong Dynasty.

Now there are three factions in the court, one is the Zaizhi faction headed by Prime Minister Ding Wei, the royalist faction headed by Chen Yaozuo and Zhang Shixun, the third is the faction of Empress Dowager Liu E, and among them is the faction of Xiaoyuan King Zhao Ji.

"Trial in Dali Temple tomorrow? It's broken. Dali Temple Minister Meng Huarong and Zuo Shaoqing Ge Wenjing are both the prime minister Ding Wei's favorite students. Isn't this going to be bad?" Chen Yaogang suddenly slapped his head anxiously.

Li Ce's heart sank after hearing this, he looked at Chen Yaogang sadly, and thought: Why the hell are you so recited?Every time the presiding judge is their person...

Early the next morning, the three of them arrived at Dali Temple early. Li Ce repeatedly told Guan Zhen not to be reckless.

The Dali Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty was mainly responsible for adjudicating major cases. It can be said that it was the Supreme Court of that era.The highest official of Dali Temple is Dali Temple Minister, who is the third rank; and a deputy is on the left and right, Dali Temple Shaoqing, who is the fifth rank; but the official in charge of the trial is the temple official, who is the seventh rank. The case can be discussed together.

Dali Temple looks magnificent from the outside. There are two stone lions in front of the gate, and the base is as tall as two people!Under the eaves are four vermilion stone pillars, each one as thick as a person, and then inside is the outer gate of Dali Temple. The two gates are also vermilion, each one ten feet high.

When Li Ce and others were watching, there was a sound of wheels and horseshoes, Dali Temple Minister Ge Wenjing came, and a carriage came with him.

The carriage stopped at the door, the curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged scribe in his 40s got out of the car slowly. Seeing that he was wearing a fifth-grade crimson official uniform, Li Ce guessed that this should be Ge Wenjing, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

This person is Ge Wenjing, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He is slightly fat, and his long-term pampering has made his face a little pale and his hair a little thin.

When he was walking towards the door, he caught sight of three people. He stopped, frowned and looked at them for a while and said, "Who is Li Ce?"

Li Ce had known that he was Ding Wei's person, and seeing his aloofness, he replied indifferently, "I'm the next one."

"What kind of mess is it?" At this time, another official got off from another carriage and was walking over with official steps. He was Fu Yongshou, the prime minister of Dali Temple, and his official position was from the sixth rank.

Li Ce glanced at Fu Yongshou disdainfully, and from the dark red official uniform he was wearing, he could tell that he was only a sixth-rank official at most. Hmph, a mere sixth-rank official, with so many places in the capital, dare to be so arrogant and domineering.I remember that a master in the previous life said that the highest contempt is silence, and Li Ce didn't even bother to answer him.

Fu Yongshou saw that Li Ce was neither humble nor overbearing, especially the kind of disdain he ignored his own existence, which made him extremely annoyed. He wanted to ridicule him, but he didn't expect that this kid didn't bother to talk to him at all.

Fu Yongshou glanced at the three of them, sneered, supported Ge Wenjing with a flattering smile, and said with a flattering smile: "You guys from the countryside have never seen the world, my lord, let's go in."

"Are you farting again? It stinks!" Li Ce suddenly jumped a long way exaggeratedly, pinched his nose, and fanned the air duct vigorously.

Guan Zhen blushed, and angrily argued loudly: "Who farted? It wasn't me!"

Di Qing also looked at Li Ce in surprise, what happened suddenly?
"You didn't fart, why did you suddenly get a bad smell?" Li Ce asked loudly on purpose. "Oh, not you, who could it be? Who came here just now?" He replied to himself.

Fu Yongshou's face turned red in an instant, and only then did he realize that he was scolding him in circles!This kid actually dared to ridicule himself for farting!
"Arrogant boy! How dare you insult me." Fu Yongshou was humiliated by a junior in front of his boss, and his face was very dull.

"Hey, my lord? Why are you volunteering to be seated? I didn't say it was you, but I really admire your high-spirited and daring spirit." The guy deliberately continued to add fuel to the fire and sneered.

"You! Slap your mouth!" Fu Yongshou was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and slapped Li Ce's face.He didn't expect that the seemingly frail young man in front of him would dare to humiliate himself again and again, even without showing any sympathy. Others have a slight counterattack...

Li Ce sneered, stepped back, easily avoided his palm, and then said slowly, "My lord wants to use force? Then I have to remind my lord, how are you better than He Ruinian?" After finishing speaking, his eyes rolled With a sudden chill, he stared at Fu Yongshou fiercely.

Fu Yongshou's complexion changed, and then he remembered that this kid in front of him dared to use a knife to force He Ruinian. If he got angry, he wouldn't be able to protect him... Seeing his cold eyes again, Fu Yongshou involuntarily took two steps back .

"Huh, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, it's just a quick tongue." Ge Wenjing flicked his robe sleeves, finished speaking coldly, and strode towards the gate of Dali Temple.

When Fu Yongshou saw that Ge Wenjing was angry, he ignored him and left on his own, and hurriedly followed suit.

In the vagueness, Ge Wenjing seemed to scold that the mud could not support the wall, and Fu Yongshou laughed obsequiously and said yes...

"Bah! What is it!" Guan Zhen couldn't help cursing as soon as the two left.

"Haha, stealing a chicken is not enough to lose a lot of rice, big brother, your mouth is really... But if you offend him like this, the two of them may avenge themselves in a while." Di Qing said.

"Didn't the second brother see it? They targeted us when they first came up. Now it's the same if they offend us, and it's the same if they don't offend us. Why do we have to swallow our anger and let him think we are afraid of him." Li Ce said.

Di Qing secretly thought that Li Ce had a clear understanding, he was always good at making decisions at critical moments, and never hesitated, and he needed to learn more about this.

At this time, Chen Yaogang also arrived on his horse. He got off his horse and saw Li Ce just about to say hello, and saw Guan Zhen and Di Qing standing behind Li Ce, and asked in surprise, "These two are the two you mentioned yesterday. brother?"

Li Ce hurriedly introduced: "This is Mr. Chen, he is the Marquis of the Infantry Army, and he is also the brother of the family teacher."

"This is Guan Zhen, my brother from the same school who studied under Guan Yiqi. This is Di Qing, my sworn brother. He was the one who led three hundred cavalry outside the city to penetrate the fifty thousand Liao army." Li Ce also said. It can be regarded as an introduction for the two, I hope Chen Yaogang can remember the two, so that they can find a family background in the future.

Di Qing and Guan Zhen cupped their hands and said, "Master Chen."

Chen Yaogang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a young man born from a hero, not bad! I have learned the skills of an old official in the past, and I, Chen Laosan, seldom convince others. The old official is one of them. I wonder how much martial arts you have learned from him? "

Guan Zhen patted his head, looked at Li Ce and said with a grin, "You have to try this before you know?" He said that he wanted to challenge Chen Yaogang.

Li Ce knew that Chen Yaogang was informal, so he didn't blame Guan Zhen for not knowing etiquette.

Chen Yaogang laughed loudly and said: "Okay, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and their courage is commendable, but I don't have time to be your training partner." Back then when he competed with Guan Yiqi, Guan Yiqi was only slightly better than him, how could he The apprentice who will surrender his status to compete with Guan Yiqi again.

"Let me ask you, how did you break through the [-] Liao army with [-] cavalry?" Chen Yaogang turned his gaze to Di Qing, and he could tell from the standing posture that the young man named Di Qing in front of him was the most powerful of the three. Yes, and even Li Ce couldn't match his composure.

"At that time, the Liao army focused all its attention on Zhending City in the front. I led troops to attack from its flanks. The Liao army underestimated the enemy and only sent some soldiers and horses to block it. After returning to aid the central army, it took advantage of its weak surroundings and rushed to its rear, and the Liao army ignored the other, and the frontal attack deepened, which disrupted the formation." Di Qing replied one by one.

Chen Yaogang was silent for a while, he was contemplating what choice he would make on the battlefield if he changed himself, and he dared to lead a surprise attack to attack.But if he breaks through the Liao Army's interception, he will obviously lead his troops straight to the Liao Army's commander. If there is no accident, only 300 people will not be able to hit the Liao Army's Central Command. This means that most sneak attacks are not so easy. The reason for the success.

The situation on the battlefield changes in an instant. Whether you can grasp the fleeting opportunity is the key to testing whether a general is competent. You must make the best choice in the blink of an eye!

Chen Yaogang sighed, believing that most of the generals, like himself, would rush to the opponent's command with enthusiasm once they broke through the interception. Courage is commendable, but in terms of countermeasures, they are inferior. Come over, it must be the tragic result of the annihilation of the whole army.This kid resolutely gave up the Liao army's coach at the critical moment, but took advantage of the chaos of the Liao army to completely disrupt the formation of the Liao army, so as to fish in troubled waters. Compared to this, this is the most effective strategy!Such visionary courage at such a young age, there must be a famous teacher to give advice!
"Who did you learn from, kid?" Chen Yaogang asked.

"Let's not hide this from Master Chen, Master has orders not to disclose his name to others, and I hope you will forgive me." Di Qing replied.

"Hehe, don't ask the third uncle, even when I asked him when we became sworn brothers." Li Ce said.

"Hehe, to be able to train such an outstanding apprentice, your master must be a master of military affairs." Chen Yaogang said with some regret, but he didn't mind. Everyone has everyone's secret, which he knows.

"Di Qing, what position do you have in the army?" It was obvious that Chen Yaogang admired Di Qing very much.

"The decree just issued by the imperial court was the commander's envoy, but our brother had already been imprisoned by Mr. He at that time." Di Qing said helplessly.

"Huh, that old man He Ruinian is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is jealous of the virtuous and capable. Relying on the support of the prime minister, he behaves mischievously all day long. After being demoted from the capital, he still doesn't know how to restrain himself. Fortunately, the imperial court's order came in time, otherwise you Three's life is over." Chen Yaogang said.

While the few people were talking, several adults came one after another, some were today's supervisors, and some came to observe, because this involved the competition between two major forces, except for the adults who wanted to go to the court to participate in the early court, the rest Almost all the important people came.

"The time has come, open the temple to hear the case!" A yamen servant declared loudly.

Chen Yaogang led the three of them into the lobby of Dali Temple. The layout of the trial lobby was the same as that of a general yamen, except that it was wider and more solemn.
