In the early morning of the next day, just before dawn, the sound of chariots and horses sounded outside the Taiji Palace. All the Beijing officials above the fifth rank have to ride horses or ride cars to the Taiji Hall to participate in the daily Chang Dynasty. Looking up, all the people who are dressed in purple clothes can't help but feel awe. And these people are the masters and executors of the power of the Tang Dynasty, all of whom can be called "high-ranking officials".

Being able to participate in the Chang Dynasty not only means rank and status, but also means a more brilliant future. Wupin, for many people who enter the official career, may be a ravine that can never be stepped over, and it cannot be reached in a lifetime. And once you can get past it, if you want to rise further, it depends on your qualifications, ability, opportunities, or whether you can win the trust of the saints.

Many people have exhausted half of their lives before they get the position of the fifth grade. Only a very small number of people can finally become ministers and even prime ministers. Therefore, a person who can participate in the Chang Dynasty at the age of thirty or forty is already considered young, and his family background must be extremely outstanding, and his ability is not bad. As for the younger ones -

In the greeting and greetings, two young men suddenly appeared, like two young tigers that had not yet grown up, and rashly stepped into the territory of a group of cunning old wolves and foxes. The high-spirited young people and the calm and spicy older generations form a very sharp contrast, and it even looks like a strange contradiction. It was as if they were in the wrong place, as if the rising sun and the setting sun were happening at the same time.

At that moment, almost all eyes were focused on them, and the meaning was unknown. However, the young men were not timid, and walked through the crowd with a smile calmly, and came to the right servant of Shangshu Province to shoot Jian Guogong Xu Ye and greet him - after all, among the prime ministers today, the left servant shot Wu Guo Gong Qin An has always said that he is not sick, and this right servant shoots has naturally become the head of the group. Then, they successively greeted several other prime ministers and Sanpinfu Zizhongchen, and the etiquette was also very thoughtful.

The old foxes smiled and returned the courtesy, and their attitudes were very gentle. After all, in terms of rank, the heir king, the prince of the county and the prince of the country are all ranked in the first rank. Except for the few people who were crowned as the princes of the country, the vast majority of them were of lower rank than these two young county kings. The fact that these two favored county kings took the initiative to greet them was already a sign of respect for them, and they didn't dare to rely on the old and sell the old in front of everyone.

"The two kings are also here to participate in the Chang Dynasty?" Dali Siqing is familiar with Li Hui and Li Jing, and his impression of them is also good, so he took the initiative to say, "The rumored case is about to be closed, I wonder if the two kings need to take a look at the file again?" Although there are some doubts at present, they are not enough to be used as evidence for further investigation, so they have to be closed like this. ”

In the end, the rumored case is small, that is, it is found to be somewhat related to the two leaders, and it is just the jealousy of the young man. Compared with the hidden rebellious intentions in the tribute fraud case, as well as the means of bribing and sending the inspectors to supervise the imperial history and the examiner Wailang, this case is almost negligible. Whether it was the pressure from the saint or the attraction of the case itself, the three divisions were eager to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the tribute fraud case.

"That being the case, the case will be closed, and the princes will be able to have more time to work on other cases. There is no need to give us the dossier anymore, and I think my uncle has other plans. Of course, Li Hui understands their desire to close the case as much as possible. His goal has been achieved, and it is pointless to continue to investigate the case.

Although it is said that the criminals on the surface are just a few scribes, Zheng Qin and Yang Qian are very innocent and have nothing to do with this case. However, within the three divisions, who doesn't know what's wrong with this? left such a "deep" impression in Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai, and their future prestige and future are undoubtedly debatable. Especially Yang Qian, once the flawless image is damaged, it is impossible to restore the past.

Moreover, there are only a lot more intelligent people in this world. What does this case mean, and what does it have to do with Yang Zhuangtou and Zheng Zhuangtou, how can they not know at all? The so-called "wall fell down and everyone pushed it", I can't say, and the next rumors are related to the two heads. Compared with the obscure Wang Zixian, I think more people like to listen to the dirty things of "celebrities", don't they?

Dali Temple Qing was about to ask again, the bell and drum sounded, and the ministers silently walked into the Taiji Hall one after another, and knelt down on their respective mattresses. Li Hui and Li Jing also had a temporary position, next to the position of Li Heng, King Jing and others of Yue, representing the power of the royal clan. However, at the time of the Chang Dynasty, King Yue, King Jing and others may not have come every time, and today there are only two young men in the vicinity.

In a short time, the saint came from behind the temple, and everyone sang and saluted in the temple, and then returned to their seats. The sage looked around at the ministers, his eyes stopped on the two extremely eye-catching young nephews, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Before I ordered the king of Xin'an County and the king of Tianshui County to supervise the case, although the two of them were young, they were very attentive to official business, and they did not slack off for a moment, I am very satisfied. At their age, it's time to go out, seal them as soon as possible, and do their best to share my worries. What do you think? ”

No one will jump out at this time to admonish and interrupt the saint's veins and affection. I heard that the two superintendent imperial historians who had previously impeached the two county kings involved in the case of fraud in tribute have been imprisoned and confiscated their homes for "rebellion", one of the ten heinous crimes. What does this mean? - After a little thought, you will understand - in a short period of time, if anyone dares to disrespect these two county kings again, they will be recognized by the three divisions as accomplices in rebellion!! Why bother to go against the clan for no reason?!

As a result, the prime ministers expressed their approval one after another, and no one mentioned whether the two county kings were still young. After all, there has never been any old rule for the clan to enter the clan, and King Pu and King Yue also participated in government affairs when they were fourteen or fifteen years old. When King Jing entered Zongzheng Temple as Shaoqing, he was not yet old enough to crown the age.

The sage smiled slightly: "Since all the secretaries think it is appropriate, then I will seal the king of Tianshui County as a thousand cattle to prepare himself and guard in front of the emperor." "Qianniu Beishen is the high-ranking military attache in the Qianniu Guard, responsible for the squire of the Imperial Sword Guard, and has always been the son of a high-ranking official family who is beautiful and good at martial arts. Although the grade is only the sixth grade, because it is close to the royal car, it is very easy to obtain the holy favor, and promotion is also a simple matter. Therefore, many of the children of noble families in Beijing are proud of Ren Qianniu's preparation, which can be described as a rare real shortage.

"Thank you." Li Jing was stunned, bowed down and thanked him - the thousands of cattle that others grabbed and bleed, but to him it was like chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it was a pity to abandon it. He most aspires to be a general who can march and fight, not a thousand cows like a showman. The military attache in the Ochichong Mansion or the Governor's Mansion is the real shortage he wants the most, not the imperial guard who guards the saint all day long.

Although he had some regret in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, as if he was very satisfied with the holy order, and Li Hui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, the king of Tianshui is just a straightforward temperament, not a stupid person. It is not easy to win the favor and trust of the saint, how can he possibly bring any look on his face? What's more, in the past two days, King Yue and Princess Yue have told him a lot, which is enough to make him suddenly wake up to what kind of crisis he is in.

"As for the king of Xin'an County, his temperament is more calm, and he has a lot of experience in the trial, so he will go to Dali Temple." The saint said, "Named Dalizheng, assisting Dali Siqing and Dali Shaoqing to investigate and try the case." "Dali is from the five officials, although he is in charge of the prison name, and does not involve the fame and real power of the household department and the official department, but for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, it is already an exceptional reuse.

An official rank that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime, but this young county king easily took the first step, which is worthy of the bloodline of the heavenly family. The Imperial History, the Counselor, and the Six Departments endured and endured it, but never said much. Who told this uncle to give an official to his nephew? Compared with the King of Sipu and the King of Siyue back then, the rank is not much different, isn't it? A Dali Temple is "only", and it is not from the sky and directly enters the six departments of Shangshu Province, what else can they say?

"Thank you." Li Hui also bowed down to thank him, raised his head and said in a deep voice, "My nephew will not live up to my uncle's trust!" Yesterday, he never mentioned what kind of official position he wanted, but listened to Queen Du's suggestion, and said that it was all up to his uncle. Sure enough, the saint did not treat him lightly.

Although the authority of "supervising cases" sounds good, it is always just to observe the trial of cases, and cannot get involved in it at all. On the contrary, Dali is responsible for assisting in the handling of the case, and the evidence and witnesses must not be arranged by Dali to search for it, so it is natural to be able to contact more clues. Many other suspicions that have been overlooked, perhaps he will be able to discover. And these doubts may become the key evidence to solve the eldest princess of Anxing in the future.

Of course, he was still young and had no experience in handling cases, and the saint could not have expected any help from him for a while. However, after the investigation of one case after another, as long as he proved that his sharp blade was indeed enough to break Princess Anxing's muscles and bones, the saint had to pay attention to him.

The saint smiled and nodded, and then began to discuss political affairs. Unless it's an urgent matter, it's not usually discussed in the daily routine. And even if it's an urgent priority, it's a matter of priority. Why do so many people get involved in what really matters? It is enough for all the high-ranking officials of Fuzi to get together and discuss. It is precisely those "priorities" that will become the focus of attention during the Chang Dynasty - for example, the previous case of tribute fraud.

Due to the proper concealment of the three divisions, the vast majority of courtiers have not been informed of the specific circumstances of this case. However, the examiner Wailang and the two superintendents were both convicted of "rebellion", and the king of Xin'an County and the king of Tianshui were sealed to their actual positions, which is enough to show that this case is not simple.

Rao is everyone was prepared in their hearts, and they were still very shocked after hearing the Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu and the Imperial History Zhongcheng report on the beginning and progress of the case. Soon, everyone was divided into two factions: one faction believed that since there were suspicious points now, they should continue to investigate strictly until the mastermind behind the scenes was found, and the case could be closed. The other school of thought believes that this case is indeed important, but it is not a case of tribute fraud. The investigation of the case by the three divisions must be changed to a different name, and the officials and the national eunuchs should put down the matter of tribute, after all, they will soon be tried.
