Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Trumpet Blows
[These two chapters are really stammering! I hate less when the book is used! I checked a lot of things and borrowed a lot, but I still only write like this......]
The old fox that Li Shizhi said was waiting in the Zhongshu Province next door to Menxia Province at the moment.
In Zhongshu Province, Li Linfu was also thinking.
"The proprietor, a foreigner from the Criminal Department just came to send a file to Zuo Xiang. The middle-aged scribe who reported to Li Linfu in the morning was reporting again at this moment.
This person's surname is Qian Mingyi, the word is Kaiyang, a member of the Qian clan in Jiangdong, who joined Li Linfu's disciples as a staff member more than ten years ago, and has made great contributions to Li Linfu's vertical and horizontal efforts over the years.
"Kaiyang, what do you say is the purpose of Wanjia this time?" Li Linfu asked.
"According to the past style of the Wan family, it shouldn't be too much involved, I heard that the two little guys of the Lu family have made a lot of noise in Yuzhang County in recent years, according to Wan Dezhao's temperament, he should be thinking about beating and beating. Qian Yi thought for a while and said.
"In addition to Wang Xian, the people with the five surnames of the seven sects in Yuzhang are only Duan Zhang. "Li Linfu's memory is very good, but everything that Xuanzong has told him can be properly handled, and there is a reason why he can be reused.
"The officials also received a reply from Duan Zhang to report on his work in Beijing a few days ago. Qian Yi remembered a message he received two days ago.
No matter what era it is, officials can never leave their own places of duty at will, especially in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, it took ten days and a half to go out of the house once, and if officials ran around, no one would have to take care of the mess in the yamen.
Therefore, whenever the imperial court needs officials to go to Beijing to report on their work or the officials to conduct an assessment, they will issue an official document long in advance to notify the local officials. Information about who will come to Beijing, when they will come, and how long they will come, and so on, the local officials will also send a palindrome before entering Beijing, so that the court can prepare. A few days ago, the Ministry of Officials received a reply that Duan Zhang was going to Beijing to report on his work, but now the Wanjia side has not yet started, and the adults in Beijing have not found out what kind of storm this ordinary official document will bring.
From this, it can also be seen that this money benefit is extraordinary, not to show that it is scrutinized, at least it is also quick thinking.
"Is one Duan Zhang really enough? He even uses a letter as a layman!" Li Linfu said with a somewhat playful smile.
"Hehe, this Wan Dezhao is still generous, but from another angle, it is also in line with their family's style, knocking down a long history, compensating a foreigner, one out and one in is just the same, he is also suing us, they have no other intentions, as long as we don't provoke him, he won't care about the outside affairs, or that detached look. Qian Yi continued, it seemed that he had said a lot of good things for Wanjia, but in fact, he knew the strength of Wanjia and didn't want his owner to rashly appear on the opposite side of Wanjia.
"He is detached, throwing such a spark to this Chang'an City, which is full of oil, is to roast us on the fire!" Li Linfu said with a sigh.
"Indeed, and even if we knew his purpose, we would not only not be able to stop it, but we would have to help make the fire burn even brighter. Qian Yi continued, observing Li Linfu's expression from time to time with the corner of his eye.
"You, you, just say that we have to do it. Li Linfu smiled helplessly.
"The proprietor should have gone further!" Qian Yi saw that the time had come, so he hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Linfu and said.
"Let's start!" Li Linfu also put away the rest of his feelings, people have already set up the stage, even if they don't go up, someone will force them to go up, if you can't resist, then enjoy it! It's just that the desires of these people behind him are getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know if a prime minister can fill them.
"Then take Wei Jian's Imperial History Zhongcheng first?" Qian Yi asked, in a tone that was indeed affirmative.
"Let Xiao Jiong hand over a fold later!" Li Linfu said lightly.
Li Linfu was ready to go out on his own, and it would have been better if the Hanlin Academy had presented the fold to the emperor, but Li Shizhi could see that there was not much time left, so how could he not see it? It was difficult to say when the fold would be discovered when he entered the Hanlin Academy, so despite the risks and the poor effect, Li Linfu still decided to run back on his own.
"Then who should be allowed to do the position of Cheng in the imperial history?" Qian Yi asked, although he had already guessed the candidate in his heart, but this kind of favor was naturally not his turn to do it.
"Let Yang Shenjin come, the lessons of more than a year have already made him understand a lot. Li Linfu said.
"Yes, proprietor. ”
After saying that, he went down to make arrangements......
In the imperial city, in the Taiji Palace, the owner of the flower house is reporting to his master, who is also the master of the entire Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji.
Li Longji, who is almost sixty years old, still has a rich face, and his decades of imperial career have long smoothed out the once sequitable atmosphere on his body, and now he has a majestic momentum even if he sits there quietly.
"Is that all?" Li Longji said lightly, in pure Chang'an official words.
"That's all for the words of the saints!" replied Boss Hua respectfully.
The internal guard organization is actually a spy organization founded by Li Longji when he was the crown prince, helping him collect some intelligence and eradicate some enemies, and it can be said that he has contributed a lot in the period before and after Li Longji ascended the throne, plus this group of people were raised by Li Longji, needless to say, loyalty. Although there have been two generations of internal guards, Li Longji's trust in these old brothers is still far greater than that of the officials in the outer court.
It's just that after Li Longji sat down in the country, he found that the existence of such a spy organization had seriously affected his relationship with hundreds of officials, after all, officials and these spies were inherently opposed, and no one wanted to make love with his daughter-in-law at home and worry about being watched.
Therefore, after the consolidation of the throne, Li Longji began to suppress the power of the internal guards, and some rights of arrest and inspection were also returned to the criminal department.
It's just that in recent years, he has felt that the power of hundreds of officials has become more and more powerful, and he is afraid that the imperial power will be impacted, so he has reactivated the internal guard, and the emperor once again chose the people around him when he was unable to do so. It's just that this time Li Longji has become more cautious, and now the ten internal guards, in addition to the flower boss, the second flower still stays in the flower house in Yongxingfang to maintain the daily operation of the internal guard, the eight and nine who are still alive have entered the civil official system, and the third and fourth have entered the military, which can be regarded as whitewashing them and then put them in the outer court, so that the hundred officials are not so disgusted.
As a strict zhòng dependent on the emperor's existence, the internal guard can be mysterious to everyone, but it must not hide from the emperor. So after figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Boss Hua came to report to the emperor as soon as possible.
"This group of guys is going to be restless again!" Li Longji frowned and said.
"Flower big!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"In two days, go and bring that girl to me to see, I will make decisions for her father in her affairs!" Li Longji said lightly.
"The subordinates obey the order!" This order of the saint was also expected by Boss Hua, since the saint said so, it means that the matter ends here. Although some were unwilling to miss such a good opportunity, it was just that the emperor's order had been made, and he had to follow.
As soon as Boss Hua left, a tall, white-faced, beardless man standing next to Li Longji and a man of little different age from Li Longji spoke: "The saint's favor for Concubine Taizhen is really heavy!"
"Hehe, General Gao, you don't understand this! This time it's their foreign officials fighting among themselves, let's not interfere, someone wants to be the fisherman, but I don't know that I am the biggest fisherman!" Li Longji smiled, did not respond to Gao Lishi's words, but said such a sentence.
……
On the second day, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting, the August Wangri Pilgrimage Meeting, because it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, was advanced by one day.
Outside the Chengtian Gate, almost all the officials in Beijing were present, and most of them were discussing where to go for the next three days of the long holiday. For the officials at the feet of these days, in addition to the annual New Year can have up to half a month of vacation, the monthly holiday is only three days in total, or separate, the three-day holiday of the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the few relaxation time in the year, so today's officials are tacitly ready to go through the motions.
It's just that some well-informed people already know about the dispatch of the internal guard the day before yesterday, although the current internal guard is not as good as before, but the identity of the minions of the son of heaven is still deeply feared. The internal guards who did not move lightly made a move this time, but I was afraid that something would happen again.
These clever officials raised their heads and looked at the left and right ministers standing in the front row, but Li Shizhi and Li Linfu stood with their eyes and noses and noses, and did not have words or eye contact with anyone, which disappointed these officials who wanted to investigate.
The drums on the two pavilions sounded to the third pass. At this time, an envoy dressed in a red robe walked out of the west corridor of Hanyuan Palace, and after bowing slightly to the hundred officials waiting outside the Xuanzheng Gate, he shouted loudly: "The time has come, and the civil and military officials will go to the ......hall one by one."
With the call of the envoy, the hundred officials lined up in two shifts, holding the board in their hands to gather their breath and concentrate, one by one into the Hanyuan Palace, the east is the civil official, the west is the military attaché, and they are separated in the two corridors in front of the two pavilions in the main hall, until both sides of the Longwei Road.
When the fifth drum sounded on the two pavilions, the hundred officials also quieted down, and looked up at the east preface gate of the Nanhanyuan Hall with their necks raised. At this time, there was a sound of sheng flute and drum music in the hall, followed by a team of palace ladies and women, holding a fan and holding a fan, surrounded by Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji from the east preface gate into the Hanyuan hall, and sat on the throne in the middle of the north of the hall.
The internal envoy who is in charge of the etiquette of the main hall called the head of each class on the Danqi, counted whether the officials of each department of the class had arrived, and then hooked his head into the hall and knelt down to play Emperor Xuanzong: "All the officials in each class should have arrived." ”
Emperor Xuanzong listened to the internal envoy's performance, bowed his head slightly, and said softly, "Go to the court", and the internal envoy understood the idea, received the oracle, and announced the beginning of the court meeting to His Royal Highness.
So the hundred officials entered the hall one after another at this time, the literary class was led by the third prince and the third prince of the first rank, and the martial class was led by the county king of the first rank and the general of the hussar of the scattered officials, but after entering the main hall, it was lined up into eight columns, the civil officials on the right were lined up in four columns, and the military attache on the left was also lined up in four columns.
After the hundred officials stood still, with the call of the head minister, the hundred officials knelt down in unison, and after kneeling three times and knocking nine times, they shouted Long live the emperor, long live the queen, long live the queen. Then after hearing Emperor Xuanzong's "all the ministers are flat", the officials got up one after another, standing still with the fenban in their hands, and the court meeting did not officially start until this time.
According to the practice of the court meeting, at this time, the emperor and the hundred officials did not speak out, and the deacon's internal envoy stood in front of the throne and announced loudly: "The hundred officials and the secretaries, there is a book and a play." ”
"Minister, there is a book to play!" stood up is the imperial history of the Taiwan Academy, this person is low-key, and he usually does not take this impeachment lightly, except for the Great Dynasty Association, I am afraid that many people have not even seen this person's face, and it is naturally impossible to know his name.
"The minister impeached Yu Zhangchang Shi Duan Zhangcao for ignoring people's lives, and killed Tang Yuan's family in Fuliang County and City for a piece ......of porcelain."
In this way, Tang Yuan, a small city order, completely sounded the horn of battle.
