The sedan chair carriers had never expected such a thing to happen.
Therefore, he was caught off guard.
The entire palanquin fell to the side.
Dou Zhao, who was sitting inside, also fell out.
He looked rather pathetic.
"How dare you! How dare you attack Lord Taishi on the street? I think you're tired of living!”
When the servant guarding Dou Zhao's residence saw this scene, he hurriedly rushed forward and sternly shouted at the old man.
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
The white-haired old man was not afraid at all.
Although he had already been pressed to the ground by the servants of Dou Zhao's residence, he still did not yield.
"Bastard!"
Dou Zhao crawled up from the ground, his face covered in dust.
Originally, in order to enter the palace to meet the empress, he had specially taken a bath and changed into a set of clean clothes.
But now, her entire body was dirty.
This made Dou Zhao furious.
"Lord Taishi, are you alright?"
The servant quickly went forward and asked.
At this moment, he was trembling with fear.
He was afraid that Dou Zhao would punish him for this matter.
"Send this old fellow to the government for the crime of assaulting an official of the imperial court on the street…"
Halfway through his sentence, Dou Zhao changed his words and said,
"Convict him with the crime of assassinating an official of the Imperial Court.”
Attacking and murdering officials of the imperial court.
Although it was only a difference of two words, the crime was a thousand miles apart.
According to the laws of Chu, murdering an official of the imperial court was considered treason. He was beheaded, his relatives were exiled for two thousand miles, and his wife and slaves became official slaves.
This punishment was harsh.
It was obvious that Dou Zhao was really angry.
He had been an official for decades, but he had never encountered such a thing.
Moreover, it was noon.
The streets were filled with pedestrians. If word got out, it would be equivalent to losing face.
This was what annoyed Dou Zhao the most.
He was the current Grand Scribe, and even Prime Minister Li Yu had to bow to him.
Because in terms of seniority, Li Yu had to call him teacher.
"Dou Zhao, open your dog eyes and see who this old man is!”
The old man who had been pressed to the ground did not panic because of Dou Zhao's threat. He remained calm.
Hearing him say this.
Dou Zhao's heart sank.
He suddenly felt that the old man's voice was somewhat familiar.
He took two steps forward.
When he saw the old man's face clearly, Dou Zhao's expression immediately took a 180-degree turn.
"Country Lord, why is it you?"
Dou Zhao was having a headache.
He really did not expect this.
The one who attacked him was Xu Yannian.
"Why can't it be me?"
Xu Yannian asked.
"Hurry up and let go!"
Dou Zhao shouted at the two servants.
At this moment, he no longer had the slightest bit of arrogance and arrogance from before.
"Yes."
The two servants were completely panicking.
How could they have thought that this old man dressed in coarse linen clothes was actually the country's father?
In their imaginations.
This kind of royal family should look very noble.
Who would be dressed so pathetically and attack an official of the imperial court on the street?
"Dou Zhao, didn't you want to send me to the government just now?”
"Why aren't you sending me off now?"
Xu Yannian said aggressively.
"Country Lord, aren't you joking…"
Dou Zhao, the grand historian, could only smile apologetically at this moment.
There was no other reason.
The old man standing in front of him was the empress's maternal grandfather and the late emperor's father-in-law.
Xu Yannian was already eighty years old.
I've long been idle at home.
Back when he was an official in the court.
Xu Yannian's official position was not high.
However, his identity was obvious.
His daughter was the empress, and his granddaughter later ascended the throne and became emperor.
Not to mention Dou Zhao, Li Yu and the others.
Even the empress had to be respectful when she saw Xu Yannian.
"Dou Zhao, don't worry about my identity. It's best if you get someone to take me to the government now.”
Xu Yannian said to Dou Zhao.
"Right, if I remember correctly, murdering an official of the imperial court is considered treason and is sentenced to beheading. The relatives will be exiled for two thousand miles, and the wife slaves will become official slaves.”
"I think this is good."
Hearing Xu Yannian's words.
Dou Zhao wiped off his cold sweat.
Even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to kill Xu Yannian.
Not to mention exiling Xu Yannian's relatives two thousand miles away.
Wasn't the empress Xu Yannian's relative?
Dou Zhao didn't even dare to think about it.
"Country Lord, if there's anything, let's talk inside the residence.”
Dou Zhao said with a smile.
After saying that, he said to the servants,"Hurry up and prepare the tea."”
"Yes."
The servant replied and hurriedly ran into the mansion.
"Country Lord, please."
Dou Zhao also took the initiative to invite him.
"What do you mean? Do you think you, Dou Zhao, are worthy of treating me to tea?"
Xu Yannian snorted coldly.
Dou Zhao's seniority was indeed very high, and many of the courtiers in the current dynasty were his disciples.
However, Xu Yannian was more experienced than him.
When he entered the court as an official, Dou Zhao was still playing with mud somewhere.
"Yes, yes."
Faced with Xu Yannian's criticism, Dou Zhao did not have any temper at all.
His entire face was flushed red with embarrassment.
At this moment, many passersby stopped to watch.
It made Dou Zhao lose all his face.
How could Xu Yannian not know Dou Zhao's current mood?
He did it on purpose.
His goal was to make Dou Zhao lose face.
Xu Yannian was famous for being stubborn when he was young.
When the other ministers saw him, they shook their heads and avoided him. They did not dare to have any interaction with him.
Therefore, Dou Zhao did not know what to do at this moment.
He was the Grand Scribe and had never been in such a difficult position before.
"Dou Zhao, take out the two articles you wrote.”
Xu Yannian said to Dou Zhao.
He had already waited at the entrance of Dou Zhao's mansion for two whole days.
Today, when he saw Dou Zhao's palanquin come out, he picked up the stick he had prepared beforehand and smashed it fiercely at Dou Zhao's palanquin.
"Country Lord, why are you making things difficult for me?”
Hearing Xu Yannian's words, Dou Zhao instantly understood why he had appeared at his doorstep today.
So it was because of those two articles.
Oh, no, wait.
To be precise, it was for Su Che.
