Hsu Fengnian and the doctor walked towards the room of Right Assistant Minister Jiang Yongle. As a result, the doctor found that Jiang Yongle was panting after running all the way back. He didn't care about maintaining his composure in front of this humble official.
When the doctor saw the Right Assistant Minister, there was only one thought in his mind. Lord Jiang, take care of yourself. It is not that this lowly official wants to drag you into the water, but the Minister has already ruthlessly tricked this lowly official. If I don't get someone to trick and scare you back, this lowly official may not live to see the sun tomorrow. "Hmm, actually, there's a Jianghu slang that the little bastard in this humble official's family used as his pet phrase. Now that I think about it, it's really reasonable. In Jianghu, one has to be a Taoist who doesn't die. To be honest, if Lord Jiang dies suddenly, this humble official will definitely try my best to shoulder the burden of the Ministry of Rites. "
After inviting the Prince of Northern Liang into the house, Jiang Yongle closed the door and didn't say anything. He just knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
Even Hsu Fengnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Actually, it was completely opposite to what the outside world imagined. From Xu Xiao to Li Yishan to Hsu Fengnian, Beiliang had long known about the posthumous title. Hsu Fengnian refused to accept the imperial edict after the hereditary posthumous title. Even the eunuch who announced the imperial edict was not allowed to enter Youzhou Province. This was Hsu Fengnian's responsibility as a son and the attitude that Beiliang had to show. However, it didn't mean that Hsu Fengnian bore a deep grudge against Jiang Yongle, a small figure in the Ministry of Rites. Additionally, among all the civil and military officials in the imperial court, only the left chancellor of the Imperial College, Yao Baifeng, stood up for Xu Xiao. The others, such as Grand Secretary Yan Jiexi, Jin Lanting and Lu Shengxiang, were much more vicious than Jiang Yongle in their suggestions on the posthumous title evaluation. In fact, at that time, Xu Xiao and Li Yishan were laughing and discussing his "posthumous affairs". They said that he would definitely be given a bad posthumous name. Coincidentally, Xu Xiao, who rarely flipped through books, would often go to Wutongin to take out the books from the Ministry of Rites when he was bored to death. In the end, the two characters that Xu Xiao chose for himself were precisely Wu Li!
I, Xu Xiao, am a military man. Why would I need a military official to have the word 'literary'? The character 'li' was even better. It was a meritorious deed to the country. Too much slaughter was carried out, and the merits offset the demerits. Just take it as I, Xu Xiao, and Li Yang's debt is settled!
Of course, Hsu Fengnian didn't have any hatred for Jiang Yongle, but that didn't mean that he would be nice to the number three person in the Ministry of Rites. But for such a great assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites to kneel there and act like a rascal, Hsu Fengnian's eyes were opened.
A short while later, when the young vassal king walked out of the room, the doctor of the Department for Purging Officials heard sobbing from inside the room.
The doctor felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, but he also felt some regret deep in his heart.
Hsu Fengnian walked to the outside of the room of the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites. The door was wide open, and the elegant Jin Lanting was sitting calmly behind the desk. He looked at the young vassal king who had once been high above. This Third Junior Jin who had quickly risen through the bureaucracy of Great Peace City showed no fear and looked coldly at him.
Jin Lanting narrowed his eyes and didn't move. He didn't even rise to greet him.
You have become the King of Beiliang through hereditary succession and have taken another step forward.
But I, Jin Lanting, am no longer a minor landowning household of that little county!
Then the doctor of the Department for Purging Officials heard the King of Beiliang say, "Move further away."
This young man who held the three hundred thousand cavalry of Beiliang did not close the door after stepping over the threshold.
But no one dared to raise their head to see what was happening inside.
Soon, a loud sound came from inside the room.
The Department for Purging Officials jumped in fright and trembled all over.
After an unknown amount of time, the young vassal king walked out of the room. He lightly patted his dust-free sleeves and left.
The Department for Purging Officials was hesitating about whether to enter the room when they heard the Left Assistant Minister, who paid the most attention to his speech and actions, yell at the top of his lungs, "All of you, scram!"
The entire Ministry of Rites yamen had the bone-chilling coldness of winter.

Hsu Fengnian walked towards the carriage. Seeing Xu Yanbing's curious gaze, he said with a smile, "I didn't kill anyone, but there are people who feel worse than death."
Xu Yanbing's gaze was slightly strange.
Hsu Fengnian helplessly said, "I didn't take off my pants. But if you have this kind of hobby, I can take you there. Now, that guy is probably still weeping. "
Xu Yanbing hurriedly waved his hand and laughed.
Xu Yanbing finally stopped laughing. When Hsu Fengnian was about to get into the carriage, he asked, "Are we going to the Imperial Astronomer next?"
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "Yes."
Xu Yanbing suddenly looked sideways at a group of people on the street in the distance. They were all riding horses. It had been some time since the court session ended, so the road was not congested. But the momentum of the five riders was very conspicuous.
Hsu Fengnian lifted the side curtain when Xu Yanbing turned his head. Other than the leader of the five riders who did not look at them, the other four riders all had unfriendly expressions. One of the riders even stopped his horse in front of them. He held the reins with one hand and leaned back slightly, full of arrogance and conceit.
Xu Yanbing said softly, "Look at that old man's official robe. It seems to be the second-rank military official's robe that only the Great Generals of the Four Campaigns and the Minister of War can wear."
Hsu Fengnian said, "It should be Wu Zhongxuan, who was previously conferred the title of Great General of the Southern Expedition. It seems that he has come to the capital to receive his reward. Perhaps he has already become the Minister of War. No wonder his subordinates are so arrogant and despotic. "
Xu Yanbing frowned and said, "Do you want me to teach him a lesson?"
Hsu Fengnian, who was separated by a curtain, shook his head and said, "Forget it. Wu Zhongxuan still has some ties with someone. If you want to teach him a lesson, let him do it himself in the future. "
Just as Hsu Fengnian was about to ignore the provocation in the other's eyes, the other stopped his horse and raised his hand to make a hand across his neck.
Xu Yanbing said calmly, "Your Highness, you can't just let me go back and forth and be a cart driver, right?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Okay. Remember not to hit too hard. "
Xu Yanbing asked, "Half dead?"
Hsu Fengnian replied, "The other party is not a weak civil official. There is no glory in beating him. However, he is a general of Nanjiang who has been through hundreds of battles. Half dead is not enough. If you don't beat him half dead, you will be letting down their reputation of being comparable to the Beiliang cavalry."
Xu Yanbing, who had let go of the reins, could not help but smile and said, "There is such a reason?"
Hsu Fengnian put down the curtain and said slowly, "As long as the Beiliang cavalry is there, it is the reason."
Xu Yanbing disappeared in a flash. In the next scene, Xu Yanbing kicked the side of the large horse's abdomen. The Nanjiang general was sent flying along with his horse. The horse's four hooves flew into the air and landed heavily in the distance with a loud crash.
No one saw how Xu Yanbing attacked. The tall and sturdy general who had not yet rolled off the horse was kicked fifty or sixty feet away. Fortunately, this street, which was second only to the imperial road in the capital, was wide enough. Otherwise, he would have sunk into the wall.
Xu Yanbing stepped on the head of the dying general and looked at the other riders. Other than Wu Zhongxuan, who had calmly turned his horse around, everyone was furious.
Xu Yanbing did not say anything. He only used the sole of his shoe to pinch the general's head.
Beiliang does not care if you are an official of the Ministry of War. Who cares if you are a Nanjiang general?!
Wu Zhongxuan raised his whip slightly and stopped the three irascible riders from trying to retaliate. The old general, who was now wearing a standard second-rank lion official robe, slowly rode forward alone. He looked down at Xu Yanbing and asked knowingly, "Beiliang Xu Yanbing?"
Xu Yanbing replied indifferently, "Did you bring one or two thousand elite soldiers to be stationed in the Jingji southern army camp? Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be enough for supper tonight."
Wu Zhongxuan's mouth twitched and he turned to leave.
The three riders under his command galloped toward the general, whose life or death was unknown, to clean up the mess.

Hsu Fengnian sat in the carriage, his hands folded like an old farmer's sleeves.
His ten fingers were interlocked and trembling slightly.
The Imperial Astronomer was about to arrive.
The source of the White Clothes Case in the capital was here!
The Spring and Autumn Saber Armor died here!
