Ru Yu, as a secretary of the ministry, naturally knows Sister Yang, a few days ago, there was a figure of this person looming behind the ups and downs in the court, and now that he has been ordered by the emperor himself, he does not dare to slack off" He left the palace, and asked the guard at the door softly about Yang Xu.

Not far away, Xia Xun was already dressed neatly, "I was telling a story to Princess Baoqing, I don't know what he was talking about" Even the pretty girl about ten years old next to her listened with relish.

As soon as the guard pointed out, Ru Yu knew that this person was Yang Xu. A few days ago, this person was supported by the Zhongshan palace and favored by the emperor in the civil and military disputes, and was appreciated by the emperor in the north-south dispute.

Ru Yu speculated that this person must be very favored by the emperor, and then he and the little princess are also very familiar with each other, "Fang Cai's punishment is clearly to accompany the princess to frolic" Ru Yu couldn't figure out how deep Yang Xu's background was, but he didn't dare to call him around as an ordinary military attaché. He stood still and said in a loud voice, "Are you Yang Xu?" This official was ordered by the emperor to transfer you to Shandong Mansion on an errand, "Come with me." ”

Xia Xun was surprised, "but it is inconvenient to ask" hurriedly ended the story of the children and grandchildren Wukong making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and Xu Ming'er led the reluctant Princess Baoqing away, Princess Baoqing hadn't heard enough, her heart was itchy and hard to scratch, all the way thinking about the Dinghai Divine Needle that could be thick and thin, long or short, and weighing 13,500 catties, so she wanted to get a stick to dance.

Xia Xun hurriedly rushed to Ru Yu, Lord Ru smiled slightly, and said kindly: "This official was ordered to transfer you to Shandong Mansion to do business. Let's go, "This official will make arrangements for your good life." As soon as Xia Xun heard it, he knew that this was Xu Ming'er who helped him a lot, and looked back" Xu Ming'er was cooperating with the little princess of Baoqing, gesturing in her hand, and was looking back at him.

Xia Xun stood still, "waved to her from afar", and saluted very solemnly. The little county lord pursed his lips and smiled, and then turned his head away.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department is sick and recuperating at home, and now it is the squire who presides over the daily affairs of the Criminal Department. Although the Ministry of Rites is the nominal head of the six ministries, the Ministry of Officials is actually the first of the six "As soon as I heard that the Ministry of Officials Shangshu had arrived in person, I didn't know what was going on" hurriedly dressed up and greeted him in person.

He politely welcomed Ru Yu into the hall, served hot tea, and listened carefully to the meaning, "It is actually to arrange the future of a small eight-rank imperial officer with a sword, and he didn't feel a little stunned, he thought about it, and then said tentatively: "Cough, Lord Ru" This Yang Xu ...... is an adult's...... Are you a descendant of your family? ”

Ru Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Hey, don't guess wildly, the official and Yang Xu are neither related nor related, he ......."

Ru Yu pointed to the sky and said mysteriously: "The emperor personally ordered it down, "Do you say that this official can not come?" ”

When Tyranny Zhao heard this, he sighed in his heart: "The transfer of a mere eight-grade petty official" still needs the emperor to personally order the official department to send the official book, and the official department secretary personally sent people to him? Why did he come here, and how should he be arranged to meet the emperor's wishes? Storm Zhao cautiously asked, Ru Yu said: "What is the origin of this person, the official doesn't know, Geng Jie" The emperor's tone is to send him to Shandong Mansion to do things, what does the emperor want to do" We don't need to inquire, in my opinion, arrange a proper identity for him, so that he can go smoothly and leave. ”

Just because this was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, the temporary transfer of an eight-rank petty official made the two adults who were in charge of the first rank and held heavy power nervous. Zhu Yuanzhang just happened to be by Ru Yu's side, and he was the secretary of the ministry, "This kind of cross-yamen and cross-industry transfer must pass through him, so he simply ordered it directly to him."

As a result, Ru Yu is like the chief examiner in "Three Levels in a Row", a candidate personally sent by the 9,000-year-old, saying that he is not a relative of the 9,000-year-old, do you believe it? Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he just asked Yang Xu to go to Shandong Mansion to do a temporary errand, and after returning to Beijing, he would have to be transferred back to the vanguard of the government army, otherwise Yang Xu would become Zhang Haogu's second, and he might be arranged by Ru Yu and Bang Zhao to a position that is both noble and leisurely to retire.

Tyrant Zhao and Ru Yu are both honest and capable officials, they usually appreciate each other, and they are like-minded, "The friendship is good, and this matter was ordered by the emperor himself, and the two of them abandoned their involvement, so they studied it together."

Storm Zhao said in embarrassment: "Our criminal department is in charge of the criminal administration of the world" to review and enforce laws and regulations, and to adjudicate and convict "to manage prisoners." There are 13 Qing officials under it, each in charge of the criminal administration of a province. Generally speaking, the local general will escort the criminal prisoner from the file to the Beijing Division, and the criminal department will retry it, only when there is a major case in the local area, and it is not appropriate to transfer the case to the Beijing Division, the criminal department will send someone to take the initiative to send an errand to the locality, but it is rare to see "what kind of errand is appropriate to give him?" Ru Yu muttered: "I heard that this time because of the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi", your criminal department has sent personnel to the thirteen provinces to supervise the arrest of bandits? "There is such a thing, but everyone has already left, and the dispatches of each department are led by the members of each department, which is an official from Wupin, this Yang Xu...... I'm afraid it's not good enough, if you only let him be an entourage, the emperor's face will not look good. ”

Storm Zhao thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, and said, "The emperor has not designated my criminal department to handle it, my lord, how about letting him go to Shandong under the guise of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" The Metropolitan Procuratorate has a system of roving inspections of the Imperial Envoys and Localities, which is the most suitable. When Ru Yu heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, raised his big finger and said, "Geng Jie, good means."

Then the official will not delay, and he will go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

Storm Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up to see him off, and Ru Yu rushed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in a hurry.

Ru Yu used to be the deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was better to speak there than in the Criminal Department, and when he arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate to tell him about the situation, the Imperial Envoy Wu Youdao Wu immediately smiled and said: "Brother Liangyu personally came to instruct this matter, then how about sending him a patrol envoy?"

Ru Yu used to work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he naturally understood the terminology he said. The Metropolitan Procuratorate may send personnel to local areas on official business, and "according to the duties of inspecting the locality", there are two types: special envoys and envoys.

The special envoy is a full-time supervisor of the imperial officer, who supervises ten kinds of powers, one is to check the army; The second said: Admiralty School; 3. Inspect the salt business; Fourth, inspect the tea horses; Fifth, it is said to inspect the transportation; Sixth, it is said that it is inspected and guarded: and seventh, it is said that it is supervised and transported; Eight days to check the military horses: nine days to Tuntian; In addition to these ten special missions, there are also messengers such as caring for the army, disaster relief, admiral arrest and theft, and Charlie's soldiers, horses, money and food.

However, the patrol envoys do not have a clear supervision goal, such as the official administration, criminal names, money valleys, public security, archives, schools, agriculture, water conservancy, customs and folk secrets, they can observe everything. Big things are judged, small things are decided. The emperor will make a ruling on the impeachment of those with more than five specified deeds, and those with obvious greed below the sixth rank can be questioned immediately. In the event of a military problem, the inspector has the right to participate in the consultation; There are "thieves" in the locality, and "the patrol has the right to order expropriation." Praise the good category of "cutting off the stupidity, correct customs, and revitalizing discipline" The gains and losses of political affairs, the interests of the military and the people, can be directly investigated.

Therefore, the patrol envoy has a lot of power and acts freely. What's even better is that these imperial envoys are similar to the six branches, although the power is great, the official position is not high, and the highest of those supervising envoys is only the seventh-rank official Xia Xun is now an eight-rank official, and he can be qualified for this position without promoting the official position.

Ru Yu was overjoyed at first, thought about it and felt inappropriate, and said: "The first appointment of the imperial envoy, when you are a test envoy, you can only go out of the way, and you can only serve as a special messenger until you pass the assessment, and finally serve as a patrol press, isn't it a mess for us to do this?" This is a hunting patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

Wu Youdao smiled slightly and said, "What's so difficult about this? Send a careless patrol envoy to let Yang Xu be his deputy, so that he can actually make his own opinions, isn't it? Hehe, the rules are set by people, and the living can still suffocate urine? ”

Ru Yu was overjoyed when she heard this, and laughed: "There is a way, you really have a way, hahaha......"

Xia Xun didn't know where the gate of the Imperial Procuratorate was opened, so he inexplicably went to work in the Imperial Procuratorate, and got the position of an interview envoy, and three days later he would go to Shandong with the imperial envoy Huang Zhenhuang. It's just that Lord Ru and Lord Wu thought that he was on an errand by the emperor's secret order, and promised him an interview envoy, who knew that he was going to collect huā on the order.

Xia Xun listened to Lord Ru's instructions in a daze, and rushed home in a daze, ready to pack up and go to work. This is really someone in the court who is good at being an official, and others have been in the cold window for ten years, "thousands of troops have come out of the top of the list" and stayed up for a few more years, and it was not easy to mix a position in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I don't know how many years it will take to release the patrol according to the fat difference of the imperial envoy" Xia Xun accidentally got it.

Xia Xun returned home, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Di is not sensible, Xiao is not the same, I heard that the young master ran to ask the emperor for leave, and scared him so much that he didn't eat breakfast and lunch, and finally saw the young master come back, and his heart fell into his stomach."

Ximen Qing was waiting at Yang's house, he first went to see his sweetheart Nan Feifei, who was thinking about him for a long time, grinding his ears and temples, lingering and making love, and then reluctantly said goodbye and came to see Xia Xun, but he didn't want to go to his house but pounced.

It just so happens that Xie Lucian is here, Ximen Qing is not too lonely, and the Chinese painting pays attention to the meaning, and Xie Luchan's painting is biased towards realism, which is considered to be inferior, and has always been not very popular. Ximen Qing did not learn literature, but he was only a half-hung literati, he was very interested in medical books, but he had limited knowledge of calligraphy and painting.

Xie Luchan immediately introduced him as a confidant, "A lot of speculation, so although the male owner of the Yang family is not there, with Xie Luchan by his side, the two of them drink and talk freely, but they are also at ease.

When Xia Xun came back, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Ximen Qing had arrived at his home, and he was busy setting up a banquet to pick up the wind for him again, "Because in front of Xie Luchan, Xia Xun was not good at talking about going back to Qingzhou to find Peng Ziqi, so he only talked to him about parting with him, and when the banquet was dispersed, Xie Lucian went back to his room to continue painting, and Xia Xun took Ximenqing to the small study.

After listening to Xia Xun's words, Ximen Qing was shocked: "It's such a coincidence, I just came, are you leaving?" Xia Xun said: "It's not, it's a mistake, but it doesn't matter, when you go back, I may not come back." By the way, "What are you here for this time, are you really here to purchase medicinal materials?" ”

Ximenqing became nervous and hurriedly said, "Of course not, it's not to find an excuse to see Feifei."

Brother, do you say that women become particularly clever when they encounter this kind of thing? I think...... I felt that my excuse was very good, but when I went out, Xiaodong stopped talking, and the look in his eyes made me feel empty: "I can't eat or sleep well in this way, I always feel ...... What did she seem to have discovered? I didn't show any of my feet. ”

Xia Xun was silent for a long time, and asked slowly: "Brother Simon, the way of doing business, but expensive to sell and cheap to buy?" Ximenqing said blankly: "Nonsense, otherwise you will do business"

Xia Xun said: "Then ......, do you think that at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the imperial capital of a country, the medicinal materials ...... this place will be cheaper than Yanggu County?" "Smack! ”

Ximenqing slapped his big mouth fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck, I finally know where the fork is!" ”！ ~！
