The first county magistrate in history

"Xiaoyou, there are nine gates in the palace. Which gate should we go through?" Qin Zheng suddenly asked Wu Xiaoyou who was driving the coach.

Wu Xiaoyou was stunned: "Sir, I don't know?"

Qin Zheng was startled and quickly ordered the special agents: "Go and investigate quickly, don't miss the court."

Several special agents flew away.

"It's not that serious, sir. It doesn't matter which door we go through." Wu Xiaoyou felt that the adults were too nervous.

Qin Zheng said, "I still don't know where the court hall is, or how big the palace is. How can the nine palace gates be the same distance from the hall? Besides, not all the gates are open right now. If I miss the court session, it would be disrespectful and a serious crime of deceiving the emperor."

Wu Xiaoyou was shocked: "I'm sorry, sir, it was my negligence!"

Qin Zheng said: "It's okay, we came out early."

Wu Xiaoyou felt very guilty. These were all things she should have thought of and done her homework in advance.

Soon, a special agent came running back.

In the imperial capital, no one is allowed to ride a horse except for the official sedan chair, except for the Imperial Guards, the Yihui Army and the Forbidden Guards.

"Your Excellency, it's the South Meridian Gate."

Qin Zheng asked, "Where is the court?"

The special agent smiled bitterly: "Sir, we can't get in? Those officials who came to the court can only go in on their own."

Qin Zheng nodded: "I understand, go ahead!"

The voice just fell.

There was a grunt.

The carriage suddenly tilted and Qin Zheng crashed heavily into it.

"Sir, the axle is broken!" Wu Xiaoyou jumped off the carriage nimbly.

Qin Zheng rubbed his arm and got out of the carriage: "Wu Xiaoyou, you are very unqualified. Shouldn't you protect the emperor first?"

Wu Xiaoyou's pretty face flushed: "Sir, this is my body's emergency reaction."

Qin Zheng checked the carriage and said depressedly, "The journey from Liangjin to the imperial capital is too long. The road is not good. Even the best axles can't bear it."

Wu Xiaoyou said anxiously, "Sir, we don't have any spare axles, and it's too late to find a carriage now. This place is quite far from the South Meridian Gate. Can I carry you on my back?"

Qin Zheng waved his hand: "What kind of talk is that? Won't we be laughed at to death? Let's walk faster." As he said that, he quickened his pace.

Two special agents were left behind, and the rest followed.

Soon, Qin Zheng panted and looked at the energetic Wu Xiaoyou and the special forces team members, and said with a wry smile: "When I have time, I will also practice martial arts."

Wu Xiaoyou and the special forces members looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Qin Zheng's old face turned red. It was he who taught Wu Xiaoyou and Teqin martial arts, which were all special forces tactics and combat skills.

However, he only has theoretical knowledge and is good at modeling, but he is far from being able to do actual combat and his physical fitness is also much poorer.

After walking for a while, Wu Xiaoyou looked at the sky and said, "Sir, we can't delay any longer. It will be too late if we delay any longer."

As he said this, he carried Qin Zheng on his back and ran away, his speed no slower than a horse.

Qin Zheng sighed: "I never dreamed that my mount would be a human!"

Wu Xiaoyou almost fell down: "Sir, you'd better shut up, otherwise, if the horse gets angry and falls on you, don't blame me!"

Qin Zheng: “…”

When Qin Zheng and his party arrived at Nanwu Gate, it was empty except for the guards.

The guards were stunned to see a woman carrying a minor county magistrate on her back. What was going on? This man was terminally ill and still attending court?

"Stop!" The guard stopped him immediately.

"Our master is here to see the emperor!" Wu Xiaoyou put Qin Zheng down.

After running so far, she was sweating a little.

"See the emperor?" The guard was suspicious. What qualifications did the small county magistrate have to see the emperor?

Qin Zheng knew that his attire would be misunderstood, so he quickly showed the imperial edict.

"Everyone is not allowed to carry sharp weapons!" said the guard.

Qin Zheng had already prepared everything and didn't bring anything with him.

But the guard still searched him before letting him go.

"Sir, we are waiting for you outside!" Wu Xiaoyou was very worried. He was worried whether Sir could wear this official robe.

Qin Zheng was dumbfounded when he entered the Nanwu Gate.

This is too fucking big?

He turned around and asked the guard how to get to the court, and a guard pointed him in a direction.

However, the further he walked, the more anxious Qin Zheng became. He should be heading in the right direction. How could the guard dare to lie to him? After all, if His Majesty knew, would the guard still have his head?

But, there are too many buildings here?

They are all very majestic.

Although he was very smart and planned to ask anyone he saw, it would be even better if he saw an official attending court.

But there was no one in sight.

These buildings are quite far apart, and it's still dark, so the lanterns are dim, so I can only run closer to each one to see if they are correct.

But Qin Zheng was exhausted.

Half an hour later, it was already past the court time, but Qin Zheng still couldn't find the court.

Qin Zheng felt that he had been deceived by the guards. Otherwise, even if he arrived late, it would be impossible for him to miss the court for so long.

The court couldn't be so far away from the Nanwu Gate, otherwise those old and frail ministers would be exhausted to the point of vomiting blood.

But why did the guard lie to him?

Obviously someone instigated it!

You wait!

Qin Zheng was a little angry.

Court.

Xia Mochu's face was gloomy. He had collected a large pile of memorials. What was wrong with Qin Zheng? Why hadn't he come to court yet?

Xia Mochu looked at An Dehai.

An Dehai understood and called a young eunuch and whispered a few words to him.

The young eunuch turned and left.

Xia Mo Ning was also in the court, because today was the day for the princess to be appointed as a junior tutor, and how could she, as a student, not be present?

However, she hadn't woken up yet and was feeling drowsy.

Gudong!

"groove!"

Qin Zheng cursed angrily.

They say that you should not show off your light at night and you should not show off your light during the day, because these places must be water.

He didn't expect that he would fall into the pond even though there was no reflection under his feet.

The pond was full of floating leaves and was quite deep.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng could swim, otherwise he would have drowned.

By the time he climbed ashore, he was soaked to the skin.

Qin Zheng was very depressed. How could he go to court?

It’s late anyway, let’s go back.

He turned around and walked back, leaving a trail of water behind him.

Ten minutes later.

"Are you Lord Qin?" A young eunuch came running over with light steps.

You can tell at first glance that he has some kung fu skills.

Qin Zheng nodded: "Exactly, you are?"

The young eunuch looked at Qin Zheng in surprise: "Master Qin, how did you get here? Why are you soaked?"

Qin Zheng said angrily, "I accidentally fell into the pond. The gatekeeper said the court is in this direction."

The young eunuch's expression changed: "Master Qin, please follow me. His Majesty is waiting!"

Qin Zheng looked at his official robes and said, "If I go like this, His Majesty will kill me, right?"

The young eunuch said in embarrassment: "You can't wear my clothes? It's too late. Sir Qin, you can report the truth to His Majesty. His Majesty is very discerning and will not blame you!"

Qin Zheng had no choice but to say, "Okay then!"

In the court, Xia Mochu gritted his teeth and said, "You are so good, Qin Zheng. Today is the day of your reward, and you dare to be late?"

I fought for you against all my ministers, and you don't cherish it at all?

I went through great pains to get you in here, so please don't embarrass me.

Moreover, the court has its own rules, and being late will result in accountability.

At this moment, the ministers had already begun to discuss in low voices.

"Your Majesty!" A minister stepped forward. "Qin Zheng has disrespected the king and delayed attending court. He must be severely punished!"

"Your Majesty! Qin Zheng is so proud of his achievements that he even dares to delay his attendance at court. This is a crime of contempt for the king, great disrespect, and deception!"

"How can one be worthy of the title of Grand Tutor with such behavior? Your Majesty, please reconsider."

"I suggest revoking the reward and punishing him!"

As soon as the first one stood up, several ministers came out and took the opportunity to take away Qin Zheng's title of Junior Tutor and prevent him from serving as an official in the court.

Xia Mochu was very angry. This Qin Zheng was really trying to put pressure on her.

"Lord Qin is late, there must be a reason. If you are tired, you can leave the court first." Xia Mochu said expressionlessly.

The ministers fell silent instantly.

No one wants to leave. If they leave, what if His Majesty gives Qin Zheng other rewards?

"The imperial envoy for disaster relief, Lord Qin Zheng, has arrived!" Suddenly, the eunuch's voice came from outside.

coming!

Everyone looked towards the entrance of the hall expectantly, wanting to catch a glimpse of Qin Zheng, the plague god whose reputation had almost spread throughout the officialdom.

However, at first glance, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

Xia Mochu, An Dehai, Li Qiuhan, and Xia Moening who was awakened, all opened their eyes wide at this moment?

Is this Qin Zheng?

Why are you so embarrassed?

Is it raining outside?
