The imperial history of the Taiwan Academy, who was not even remembered by the hundred officials, retreated silently, and came abruptly and freely, he did not go deep into the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes were destined to leave his legend.

Most of the officials in the hall are puzzled, not to mention what kind of city order it is, do we have such an official position in Datang? It is the history of a county magistrate on the five grades, and it is really ...... Chang'an City, where there are many high-ranking officials everywhere Not even a dog!

While most of the officials were still wondering why this little imperial history would make a reckless speech on such a formal occasion as the Great Imperial Meeting, some officials with a keen sense of smell had already smelled something unusual.

Sure enough, before they could observe the reactions of the two ministers in the front row, the criminal department member Wai Lang, who came to deliver the letter yesterday, stood up without the signal of Li Shizhi, the chief officer of the criminal department.

Since he has exposed himself, he is fortunate to use his value more thoroughly, no leader will use someone else's horse, the only person who can be pinned on this outsider is the person behind him, and he must naturally try his best to make his role greater.

What Wailang said was still what he reported to Li Shizhi yesterday, but he just concealed the fact that the internal guards were dispatched to arrest people late at night.

After finishing speaking, the clerk retreated. At this time, those sluggish officials finally began to realize that something was abnormal, those who were squinting and resting also opened their eyes, those who were standing horizontally and vertically also hurriedly straightened their bodies, and the people who looked at each other with eyes also stopped communicating, and everyone stared with bated breath at the saint on the throne, as well as the two ministers who were also sitting in the front row.

Without making them wait too long, the Holy Lord spoke.

"Suitable, you are also the secretary of the Criminal Department, what do you think of this matter?"

"When the minister first saw the case file, he only felt that it was an ordinary murder case, so he followed the old practice and ordered the local authorities to investigate carefully, did not report it to the saint, and asked the saint to cure the minister's dereliction of duty!" Li Shizhi bowed his head and did not get up and bow down, because he didn't need to!

Sure enough, the emperor did not mean to blame.

"As you are the prime minister, you have to make up your mind about all the things in the court, and this murder case does not involve officials, and it is inevitable that you will be overlooked for a while!" Li Longji said lightly.

Li Shizhi, who was nothing, was really shocked after listening to the last sentence of the saint, which was a reasonable thing, but the last sentence of the saint really convicted him of "negligence". Li Shizhi was still calm on the surface, but his back was wet.

"Brother Nu, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Li Longji didn't pay any more attention to Li Shizhi's reaction, and turned his head to Li Linfu on the other side and said.

"Back to the words of the saint, the minister thought that all the officials who had been impeached by the imperial history did not need to be suspended pending investigation, and Duan Changshi was involved in a major case of human life this time, so he should be called to the capital for questioning. It just so happened that Yuzhang County came to Beijing this year to report on his work, and a few days ago, the Ministry of Officials also received a reply from Yuzhang County that Duan Changshi had set off for Beijing. Li Linfu expressed his opinion.

"Oh, it's only August, this Duan Zhang is an anxious child!" Li Longji said such a sentence, and he couldn't hear whether he was happy or angry.

"Where is this Duan Zhang?" Li Longji said to the hundred officials behind him.

"Back to the saint, Yu Zhang's chief Shi Duan Zhang had entered Beijing yesterday evening and was now staying in the post house of the Ministry of Officials. The one who stood up to answer was a clerk who was in charge of reception.

Duan Zhang's entry into Beijing this time was by canal and waterway, entering the Yangtze River, passing through Yangzhou, entering the Yellow River and then to Luoyang. After arriving in Luoyang, Duan Zhang followed the instructions of the two brothers of the Lu family to watch the movements of Chang'an, and after receiving the news from the Lu family that Tang Xueying had been taken away by the internal guards, he couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly rode a fast horse to Chang'an.

"Now that everyone is together, let's start trying the case, it just so happens that the daughter of this bitter lord has also arrived in Chang'an. How do you think this case should be tried?" asked Li Longji, facing his prime minister.

"Back to the words of the saint, since it involves the history of a county magistrate, and it is a major case where human life is at stake, according to the minister's view, it is better to let the Criminal Department, Yushitai, and Dali Temple send someone to go. Li Shizhi replied.

"Oh, 'three divisions will be tried'! This little market order is really not small! Without showing his face, he made such a big scene, and his ability is not small!" Li Longji said with a hint of anger, but he didn't know who he was aiming at.

It's just that the officials below saw that the saint was angry, and hurriedly lowered their heads.

"Then do it according to Zuo Xiang's wishes!" Li Longji gave the order and said.

Li Shizhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the Criminal Department and the Yushitai are their own people, and the one in Dali Temple is a doorless and non-sectarian, this time the initiative is in his own hands.

"Shengshang, Chenjing Zhaoyin Xiaojiong has a plan to play!" The pre-arranged supporting roles finally came on the stage.

"Speak!" Although Li Longji already knew the content, he still had to finish the work on the scene.

"In recent months, businessmen have come to Jingzhao Mansion to report to the official, saying that the waterways on Guangyun Lake are congested, ships are blocked, and cargo transshipment is inconvenient, and it often takes a day or even several days for a ship of goods to be unloaded.

Hearing this, Li Shizhi immediately understood, no wonder Li Linfu was going to enter the palace yesterday afternoon! It turned out to be for this! All of a sudden, he was a royal historian, and his appetite was really not small!

"What the hell is this guy Wei Jian doing! Can I still do the errand I confessed?" Although Li Longji had already been angry about this, he still felt angry when he heard it again today.

Here I have to talk about Wei Jian's origin, Wei Jian, a native of Jingzhao Wannian. His father is Wei Yuanqi, born in middle age, awarded the silver Qingguanglu doctor, and in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he served as the assassin of Yanzhou. Wei Jian's sister is the princess of Huixuan, and his sister is the crown princess of the current crown prince Li Heng, which shows how iron the relationship between this person is.

In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, it was promoted to the Chang'an Order, and the name of its officials spread all over the government and the opposition.

In March of the first year of Tianbao, he was promoted to the Taishou of Shaanxi County and the envoy of land and water. At that time, the Weishui was tortuous and shallow, inconvenient for water transportation, he presided over the requisition of migrant workers, built a weir embankment in Xianyang Weiwei to block the Ba and Chan two waters, and then made a channel to the east to go to the Wei level, and rejoined the Weishui near Yongfeng Cang in Huayin County, and built the Wangchun Tower in the east of the forbidden garden, and dug the Guangyun Pond to pass the transport, so that the ships carrying goods to the Jianghuai River every year were concentrated in the pool, so as to win the favor of Emperor Xuanzong. Later, he was promoted to the envoy of Jianghuai South Leasing, Transshipment, and Disposal, and also served as the Imperial History Zhongcheng.

"Wei Zhongcheng must have been busy with the affairs of Yushi Taizhong recently, and he was a little negligent about Guangyuntan for a while. Li Linfu only said this, which seemed to be excusing Wei Jian, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was accusing Wei Jian of forgetting the old errand when he had a new errand.

"Forget it! Let Wei Jian do his duty!

"Then I don't know who the sage wants?" Li Shizhi saw that Wei Jian's matter was irreparable, and hurriedly asked first, this is also his power as the prime minister, for this kind of personnel change in the Great Nine Secretaries, as the prime minister, he has the first power.

It's just that today's saint seems to be very dissatisfied with him, Li Longji ignored Li Shizhi's words, but turned his head to the other side, and asked Li Linfu: "Do you have a suitable candidate for the right minister?"

"If you go back to the sage, the minister thinks that Yang Shenjin, the servant of the imperial palace, can take on this important responsibility!" Li Linfu said.

"It's okay, anyway, he has done this Zhongcheng errand before, so let Yang Shenjin take care of this matter again!" Li Longji said.

After a while, Li Longji said to his subordinates again: "Wei Jian, you can just handle the matter of Guangyuntan for me!"

Wei Jian naturally came, and immediately stood up and replied after hearing this: "The minister obeys the holy decree!"

Also stand out to thank Yang Shenjin, who is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, was the first Luoyang Order, and then supervised the imperial history, the cashier of the Imperial Mansion, and then added the title of the prince Sheren, supervised the Jingcang, and moved to the Imperial History in the twenty-sixth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and still knew the cashier of the Imperial Palace, and Tianbao sentenced the imperial history in the second year.

Originally, he had a good relationship with Li Linfu, but after being named the Imperial History, he gradually alienated Li Linfu, Li Linfu saw that his horse boy was going to be disobedient, so he hurriedly knocked it out, and the year before last, he asked people to participate in him, and drove him down from the position of the Imperial History, and re-made a servant of the imperial history, and now seeing that Yang Shenjin is obedient again, and Li Linfu is the time to use people, he thought of enabling him.

In the blink of an eye, one of his generals fell off the horse, where could Li Shizhi not notice that the situation was wrong today, the saint was obviously helping Li Linfu and suppressing himself. Yesterday, I don't know what Li Linfu said to the saint.

"Okay, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, if there's nothing to do, I won't keep you, let's do this case! Let the three divisions pass through the court in the afternoon, strive for an early conclusion, and don't disturb everyone's interest in the festival." Li Longji said with a smile, and then as if he had just remembered, he said to his side: "General Gao, you go to Yongxingfang, since the person is taken away by Huada, then let him also listen, all the gods and goddesses go to see, and finally go to their own books, I want to see if such a small city order can stir up the festival of Chang'an City!"

Li Longji's words were said as he stood up and said to the audience.

Listening to the domineering and incomprehensible words of the saint, the officials had long been quiet, each with their own thoughts, and before the case was tried, the interest of this festival must have diminished a lot.

Emperor Xuanzong was surrounded by people and left the hall as when he came, and the officials also straightened up and bowed down, and just finished shouting "Congratulations to the saint", he was about to open his mouth to greet a few friends to discuss today's situation, but he saw the left minister walk out with an iron face, followed by a right minister with an indifferent face.

didn't have time to pay attention to the whispering officials behind him, Li Shizhi hurriedly returned to the duty room of Menxia Province, and hurriedly summoned the old man who came back last time.

"What happened in the inner palace yesterday?" this is what Li Shizhi is most concerned about now.

The old man naturally knew that what the proprietor asked was what Li Linfu had said to the emperor after entering the palace yesterday afternoon, and he immediately said: "I heard Hanlin, who served yesterday, that after Zuo Xiang entered the palace, in addition to presenting Jingzhao Yin Xiaojiong's recital, he also mentioned one thing to the saint. ”

"What's the matter?" Li Shizhi realized that this was the key to the Holy Lord's attitude today.

"Zuo Xiang said that the proprietor has been drinking with people every day, including Su Jin, the prince's left concubine, a bachelor of Jixian Academy, a guest of the prince, and He Zhizhang, a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu......" The old man replied.

"Why are you only saying these things now!" Li Shizhi was already angry.

"Yesterday, the deacon Hanlin didn't realize the severity of the situation for a while, and he only reported to me at today's court meeting, when the proprietor had already entered the main hall, and I ...... "The old man was also helpless.

"Alas...... These literati are very good at writing poems and essays, but they are still too slow to respond to these things in the court!" Li Shizhi also said helplessly.

"That's no way, we don't have a good relationship with the internal officials, and Gao Lishi is a master who can't eat oil and salt, and the only thing we can count on is these scribes around the saints. The old man said.

"The proprietor, I have to say a word below, those people in the East Palace, let's have less contact in the future!" the old man said bitterly.

"Alas...... I also know the harm of befriending the prince as the prime minister, but we have fallen too deep," Li Shizhi said helplessly......

Li Shizhi is a good wine, even to the point of being addicted to alcohol, and there are many people in the capital who are good at drinking, but there are not many people who can sit and drink with him, and there happen to be many people around the prince Li Heng.
