Si Tianjian is located in the west side of the imperial city, occupies 300 acres of land, inside and outside to build high walls, the predecessor is a royal courtyard of the former dynasty, and was later pointed out by Empress Ning Zhen as the Si Tianjian official office, before and after the completion, it lasted 21 years.

For newcomers, it is easy to get lost in Si Tianjian, but if you look at its map, it is not difficult to find that it is all built according to the pattern of the nine palaces, and the garden is divided into nine courtyards, eight directions and the center.

Kun Ling Bureau is located in the southeast, occupies a spacious and bright courtyard, hollow corridor, there are pavilions in the east and west, two doors in and out of the front and back, the courtyard wall is neatly planted with evergreen cypress trees in all seasons, there are bird's nests hidden in the layers, the ground is paved with gray masonry, there are only two kinds of flowers and plants in the flower pots on both sides of the corridor, the cosmos in full bloom, and the slender and elegant bamboo,

There are birds singing and flowers fragrant, this place is not like a yamen official office, but like a place of recuperation.

Yu Shu's office is located in the green tile and yellow-walled pavilion on the east side, and as the deputy chief of the first bureau, she has a separate office suite, connected to a study, a tea room, and a bedroom.

Because the position of female emperor has always been almost held by female officials, and the previous right Linglang Mrs. Lu was also a woman, so the layout of this Kunling Bureau was more neat and clean than that of Si Tianjian, and the flowers and birds in the garden were also according to Mrs. Lu's preferences.

Yu Shu sat in the hall on the first floor, and saw the subordinates of the Kunling Bureau, etc., in addition to Xie Lan and Ren Jia, the two six-grade documents, there were also two governors, historians, and two main bookkeepers, all of whom were seven-grade officials, so I won't mention them in detail.

Coincidentally, Jingchen is not in the game today. Yu Shu asked, and when Ren Yijia said that he had entered the palace, he didn't inquire too much.

"My lord, this is the Jin Wuwei roster, the guards below the sixth rank, you can choose."

Xie Lan went to bring the roster of guards and gave it to Yu Shu, which was only a thin volume, twenty or thirty pages.

Yu Shu flipped through the two pages casually, but he didn't expect to see acquaintances on them. I thought about it. pointed to the name and said to Xie Lan, who was holding a pen on the side:

"This one, called Lu Hong, write it down."

This Lu Hong. It was Xue Rui who went to Pei County to investigate the case. The head of the guard who leads the team to protect. Yu Shu remembered that Xue Rui said that he was the one who guarded the left guard of the city army, and somehow he ran into the list of Jin Wuwei.

Yu Shu had some impressions of this person and felt that his skills were good. If it's not treacherous or slippery, it can be used once.

After picking a total of four people, she asked Xie Lan to send someone to the military office to find someone.

***

When Si Tianjian came, it was just in time for the morning break, and several groups of people on duty by Jin Wuwei changed their guards, the food was ready, and a group of big men joined the table in groups to eat and drink.

Among this group of people, there is a lonely figure here, which is particularly conspicuous.

Someone glanced in that direction and exchanged heads with the people at the table:

"That kid, do you think that our Jinwu Guard is his good mix, to put it mildly, he was promoted in. But don't look at who he offended, I have a brother who runs errands in Dali Temple, and he said that the assassination of Qincha was an important case, and the two princes were involved, and he was involved in this matter, can he still have a chance to get ahead in the future, hehe. ”

This burst of laughter clearly came into Lu Hong's ears and eyes, he squeezed his chopsticks, broke them with a "rattle", lost his appetite, stood up expressionlessly, and was just about to walk out of the door, when he heard a loud voice at the door:

"Sun Zhou, Lu Hong! You two come out! ”

He was a leader of the Left Wing Army of the Jinwu Guard, surnamed Zhang.

Lu Hong stood up suspiciously, turned his head to take a look, and saw that Fang Cai's surname Sun also stood up from the table with a confused face.

"What's wrong, Lao Zhang?"

"What's the matter, the good thing! Hmph, you two are lucky, Si Tianjian has a new adult, and he wants to choose an accompanying guard, so you can go with someone, so as not to be late, this good thing will be spread on others' heads. ”

Hearing this, Sun Zhou looked overjoyed, put down the chicken thigh meat in his hand, and ran outside in the envious and jealous eyes of the people at the table.

Lu Hong clenched his fists and followed closely.

***

If a military general is born in troubled times, he can settle the country, gallop on the battlefield, make meritorious achievements, and do great things.

But if you are born in a peaceful and prosperous era, a martial artist, with a mediocre family background, and unwilling to be mediocre, it is a kind of sadness.

Some people took the martial arts examination at the age of fourteen, and after ten years, they were still patrolling, but they were transferred from the gate of the capital to the gate of the imperial city.

Of course, it's not like there's no way out, just like now—

Yu Shu sat in her new study, playing with a long waist card in one hand, looking at the young guards in front of her.

The eighth-rank guard, Sun Zhou, was telling her about the glorious story of how he had captured a snitch while on patrol three months earlier.

Yu Shu listened with a lack of interest, and finally waited for him to finish speaking, then lazily waved his hand, turned his head and asked another person:

"Leader Lu, weren't you originally in the Left Guard, when did you transfer to Jinwuwei?"

On the way to Lu Hong, he already knew who Si Tianjian's newly appointed Yi official was, and he was not without joy in his heart.

If he is selected, transferred to Si Tianjian, and followed by a change official with real power in hand, it will be much more promising than being a patrolman.

But as soon as I saw Yu Shu, I saw that she was dressed in dignified female official clothes, the patch on her shoulders was delicate and distinct, the appearance of a green hairpin on her head, and the subordinate officials standing on both sides of the rules, she instantly calmed down and smiled bitterly:

It's just that I investigated a case in Pei County, and I can't talk about any friendship, and I am now an upright five-grade female adult, with such an opportunity, I can find those military attaches with a net worth background, why should I promote him.

So when Yu Shu asked, Lu Hong was a little surprised, she still remembered him.

"Returning to the Lady, I was only transferred to the Jinwu Guard a few days ago."

As for the reason, it is said that he assisted Xue Rui in investigating the case in Pei County.

Yu Shu nodded, and understood a little in his heart, I am afraid that this is inseparable from the case of Peixian.

As soon as Sun Zhou saw that Lu Hong recognized the female official who was going to be promoted to Si Tianjian on an errand this time, his face was a little bad. took half a step forward and said to Yu Shu:

"The lady doesn't know, Leader Lu has made a great contribution, there was a Qin Cha who was killed on the way out of Beijing, our Leader Lu followed Dali Temple to investigate the case, and caught the killer after the last, and found out the evidence, it was the eleventh prince who sent someone to commit the murder."

Yu Shu glanced at him, and saw that Lu Hong's face was stiff, and he had a number in his heart. Pick up two waist cards for entering and exiting the Heavenly Prison. Road:

"Follow me on an errand in the future, remember a little, talk less and do more."

After speaking. He threw away the waist card and went out. One piece was thrown into several people. The one with the most youthful face was thrown to Lu Hong.

The two of them took it neatly and looked at it in their hands. The sign engraved with the five-color hexagram plate was a little stunned.

As soon as that Sun Zhou saw that Lu Hong was appreciated, but he didn't have his share, his face was lowered.

But where would Yu Shu care about his face, he asked for a brush from the master bookkeeper on the side, wrote the names of Lu Hong and Xu Qing on the two transfer letters respectively, stamped her female official seal twice, and handed it to the governor who was waiting for the dispatch on the other side, saying:

"Take these two guard brothers to the Huiji Division to make up the record."

"Yes."

It wasn't until Lu Hong received the order in his hand that he came back to his senses, he was pleasantly surprised for a while, couldn't help but be excited, and clenched his fists and said to Yu Shu:

"Thank you, thank you for your appreciation."

He turned his eyes and saw Sun Zhou's depressed and jealous expression, and the breath that had been blocked in his heart these days finally disappeared.

The other Xu Qing also hurriedly made a move.

Yu Shu didn't tell them any more superfluous words, so he invited everyone out of the room, and sat alone at the desk, holding the heavy official seal on that side, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and a strange feeling brewed in his heart.

It turns out that this is power.

The feeling of being an official is not bad.

***

Yu Shu stayed in the Kunling Bureau for a whole day, learned about the specific situation of this bureau in the morning, and in the afternoon, with the assistance of Xie Lan and Yi Jia, he began to contact the duties of the female emperor.

First of all, it is the marriage of the official family. The eight characters of men and women who are sent to the Kunling Bureau for marriage will be sorted together by any of the people who hold the position of pen Cao, go to the household department or Taicheng Division to collect evidence, confirm that it is correct, and then hand it over to Xie Lan, who signed it.

Xie Lan, the signatory, will make divination calculations on these eight characters to get married, calculate whether the man and woman are suitable for marriage, and make annotations.

After the finale, this eight-character post with annotations will be handed to Yu Shu, and she will judge and approve it.

As for Jing Chen, the right Linglang, it is easier and more trouble-free, and the marriage post approved by the female emperor will be issued as long as he stamps the official seal and issues a permit.

Another matter is to arrange the days of the palace concubines' sleep.

In the middle of each month, the palace will send a palace maid to send a secret book to the Kunling Bureau, which records the palace maids' arrival day in the previous month, whether they are sick or not, when they will recover, and so on.

Directly sent to Yu Shu, she calculated the good fortune and evil, strictly followed the record on the "Kunling Bureau Rules", and before the end of the month, worked out the schedule of the palace concubines for the next month, handed it to the palace, and arranged by the queen herself.

It should be mentioned that all women who enter the palace have left a base case in the Kunling Bureau, the eight characters of birth, parents, and peculiarities, such as where moles are born and where there are birthmarks.

Of course, this case involving the privacy of Gong Yu, except for the two chief and deputy officials of the Kunling Bureau, the people below have no right to access it at all, and even snooping is a crime of dereliction of duty.

"Then before I arrived, who was taking care of the affairs of the Kunling Bureau?" Yu Shuke remembers clearly that the previous Right Ling Mrs. Lu stepped down to teach in the Taishi Academy, and Jingchen was also in the Taishi Academy at that time.

Xie Lan told her the answer: "The previous affairs have always been temporarily handled by the young eunuch. ”

Ren Qiming?

Yu Shu nodded, and asked again: "Then who was the female queen before me?" ”

Xie Lan and Ren Jia glanced at each other, and the latter hesitated: "It's the fifth-rank Great Yi Master, Qin Xiang, and Mrs. Qin." ”

Yu Shuhu is suspicious, surnamed Qin? Is it from the Qin family?

"Then why didn't she do it later?" She asked with interest.

"A few months ago, Mrs. Qin was deposed because she overstepped the right order at that time, Mrs. Lu, and changed the roster of palace concubines and attendants without authorization, and was reported and exposed." Xie Lan said, I didn't dare to say that the previous female imperial official is still in prison now, and she will have to serve half a year before she can be released.

Is it ultra vires? Or the open and secret struggle between women.

Yu Shu vaguely smelled the smell of the inside story, and suddenly felt that the seat under her might not be easy to sit on. (To be continued......)
