Qin Xiao's face was sincere, but Dou Wei was a little dazed, frowning and thinking about what Qin Xiao said, wanting to straighten it out.

"Do you really think so?" Deng Taichu didn't know much about Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao said that after some reasoning, he was also the same as Dou Wei, and he couldn't go along with it in his mind, I don't know if Qin Xiao was really protecting Shangguan for the future, or if he was using strong words.

If it is said that he protects Shangguan, this kid will bring disaster to the military department quietly, but if he is saying that he is arguing with reason, what he said seems to be really reasonable.

Qin Xiao said sincerely: "I really think so. The lowly position has no relatives in Kyoto, and if it wasn't for the promotion of the minister, it wouldn't even be a fart, so the lowly asked himself if he was a person from the ministry. If the lord of the ministry is really involved in right and wrong, I am afraid that the lowly position will also suffer, so ..... So I have selfish intentions and don't want adults to get into trouble. ”

"Don't dare to talk nonsense." Qin Xiao lowered his head, looking uneasy.

Dou Wei said angrily: "You have done everything you shouldn't do, what else don't you dare to talk nonsense?" If you have any thoughts, just say them, whether it's right or wrong, and I won't blame you. ”

"Qin Xiao, the ministry has said so, if you have any opinions, don't say it quickly." Deng Taichu also said: "Don't forget, although you have only just taken office, you are also an official of the Treasury Department, and you are difficult to get out of it if such a major event occurs in the Treasury Department." ”

"You're not promoted by your own officer." Dou Wei faintly missed a sentence, but immediately said: "But what you said is not unreasonable. ”

Deng Taichu thought for a while, then took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Ministry, what Qin Xiao said does have some truth. The ministry has just been promoted, and many vacancies in the yamen have not yet been filled, and at this time, something happened to Wudefang, and even the saint will not blame all the blame on the adult. Qin Xiao is right, this matter, it is better to expose it later than to expose it early, and if the time is too long and then the East Window incident happens, it will be difficult for adults to get rid of it, and it is timely to be exposed by Xue Ke at this time. ”

Dou Wei bowed slightly, and couldn't help but ask, "Qin Xiao, then what do you think you should do next?" ”

Dou Wei has been in the officialdom for many years, and he actually knows what to do next, just to listen to the opinions of the people around him, what Qin Xiao said actually coincides with what he thinks in his heart.

He followed Fan Wenzheng before and dragged Fan Wenzheng off the horse with his own hands, knowing that an important reason why Fan Wenzheng fell off the horse was to cover up the responsibility and dare not bear it, since he had a lesson from the past, he naturally would not make the same mistake again, and went to the palace to ask the saint for his guilt, which was essential.

"What else?"

Qin Xiao could only say: "The ministry, Lord Shilang, I think that the first thing the ministry has to do now is to ask the saint for his sin!" ”

"Please?"

"The lord of the ministry may not have any sin, but even so, he thinks that he must take the initiative to ask the saint for his sin, and the sooner the better." Qin Xiao said cautiously: "If the adult takes the initiative to ask for sin, the saint will feel that the adult dares to take responsibility." ”

Naturally, if you want to appeal to the saint, you must make every effort to thoroughly investigate the case. Qin Xiao looked at Dou Wei and said softly: "The more actively the ministry asks for a thorough investigation of this case, the more it proves that the ministry has nothing to do with this case. If the saint sent someone to investigate the case thoroughly, he would not actually let the ministry investigate, so the ministry only showed its attitude, and it would not really be involved in the case. At that time, whether this case is investigated by the Criminal Department or Dali Temple, the Ministry and we will try our best to cooperate. ”

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Dou Wei's lips, and he stared at Qin Xiao and said, "Qin Xiao, I didn't expect you to be young, but you are still very thoughtful, and you can have this insight, you were still clumsy in your own eyes before." ”

"Don't dare." Qin Xiao said with a bitter face: "The humble position is actually afraid of death, and I really don't want this ship to sink." ”

Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Although the ministry wants to ask for the guilt, it is also necessary to let the sage understand that the ministry has nothing to do with this case of embezzlement of ink, and he knows nothing about what Han Day, the secretary of the treasury department, did in advance. ”

"Of course I don't know." Dou Wei immediately said: "Han Tian is bold, full of private pockets, and his crime is extremely evil, if this official had known about this, how could he have allowed him to stay in the military department?" ”

"So the ministry

Deng Taichu said yes, and Dou Wei said: "I will enter the palace immediately, and before I come back, don't let anyone enter the yamen." ”

Dou Wei is one of the six officials of Shangshu Province, but he is qualified to enter the palace to see the Son of Heaven.

In the deep palace of Ziwei, the yellow glazed tiles glowed golden in the sun, and the vermilion high wall gave birth to a sense of oppression for no reason.

Qin Xiao's meaning is naturally that everyone is sitting in the same boat now and should maintain each other.

Dou Wei sneered in his heart, secretly thinking about the official and military department, what qualifications do you have as a little commander to compare with yourself, but you also understand in your heart that in the face of the upcoming wind and rain, it is not outrageous to say that you and Qin Xiao are in the same boat.

"At the beginning, the order went down, and all the officials of the military department were not allowed to leave the yamen today." Dou Wei was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Eat, drink, and Lazar, they are all in the military department, if anyone takes a step out of the military department, don't come back." ”

In winter, the leaves of the trees wither, even in the palace, it is unavoidable, so in winter, the trees in the palace will be cut into flowers and leaves with colored silk and tied on the trees, so that the entire palace is evergreen.

The Imperial Garden has both mountains and seas.

The imperial garden of the Tang Palace was not very wide, but after the current sage ascended the throne, the two palaces in the Ziwei Palace were demolished, the area of the imperial garden was expanded, and a lake was artificially excavated in the imperial garden, in which according to the position of the Big Dipper, seven small islands were built in it, and the islands were more than 100 feet above the water, which looked magnificent.

Ziwei Palace is a general term, including the eighteen palaces where the saints live, the eighteen palace layouts are hidden mysteries, and the most central is the Ziwei Palace.

Behind the Ziwei Hall is the palace garden, looking up, the palace garden, pavilions and pavilions are endless.

There are rockeries and waterfalls everywhere, and some of them are actually hot springs filled with mist.

It's already March, the hundred trees in the palace have also sprouted, there is a small garden on the shore of the Seven Star Sea, which is full of all kinds of strange flowers and plants, the smell of these strange flowers and plants spreads in the palace, refreshing people's hearts.

There is a soft collapse in the small garden, on the soft couch, at this time there is a graceful and noble woman reclining on it, next to a woman in a purple palace veil waiting, on the stone table strange and sparse fruits, the palace yarn woman peeled a fruit

and carefully fed the noblewoman.

On each island, the pavilions are dotted with dots, just like a fairyland.

This sea was named the Seven Star Sea by the sages because of the seven man-made islands in it.

There are two palace ships in the Seven Stars Sea, which are exquisite and magnificent, and when the saint wants to land on the island, it is the two palace ships to pick up.

"Don't read it." The lady didn't even open her eyes, and her voice was calm: "Let's stand down first!" ”

The palace maids in the small garden all retreated, leaving only the purple palace veil woman.

"Mei'er, when was that excerpt just now delivered?" The lady asked.

The palace yarn woman looks only twenty-five or sixteen years old, perhaps because the water and soil in the palace are very nourishing, the woman's skin is extremely smooth and delicate, against the background of the purple palace yarn, the white is dazzling, her figure is slightly plump, and even a little baby fat, the eyebrows are picturesque, and the eyebrows are dotted with plum blossoms in the middle, and it looks more merry.

The lady leaned on the soft couch, calm and relaxed, phoenix eyes and red lips, two willow eyebrows obliquely raised, looking quite majestic and domineering, she is no longer young, but the maintenance is excellent, although the skin is not as delicate as the palace veil woman, but it is also fair and smooth, and there is not even the slightest wrinkle on the forehead.

A few steps away from the collapse, a palace lady wearing a gauze hat was holding a piece of music and chanting something.

"Bohai wants to marry the princess of the clan, Mei'er, what do you think?" The sage asked calmly.

Of course, Mei'er knew the true mind of the sage, and she didn't hesitate, just smiled lightly: "King Yongzao is whimsical. Bohai is just a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, and the identity of the king of Yongzang is no different from my local history of the Tang Dynasty, how can the royal family marry the princess of the clan to the local history of the emperor? ”

"This kind of truth is understood even by my inner officials, so why doesn't King Eizao understand?" A faint smile also appeared at the corner of the saint's mouth, although she was nearly half a hundred years old, her eyebrows and posture still vaguely made people be able to imagine the elegance of her youth.

Mei'er, a woman in the palace veil, had a delicate and pleasant voice, with a shallow smile on her lips: "Andong sent someone to Beijing, and it was just sent to the palace yesterday. ”

"I remember that there seemed to be such an excerpt the year before last." The lady reclining on the soft couch is naturally the emperor Xiahou of the Tang Dynasty today, and finally opened her eyes, although she is nearly half a hundred years old, but those eyes are still as clear as water, although there is the fierceness of the emperor, and the charm of the woman has not faded.

Mei'er nodded slightly, and her voice was gentle: "In June of the previous year, King Yongzang of Bohai sent an envoy to the court, and he also specifically mentioned the matter of giving relatives, but the sage did not give a will immediately, but only said that he would discuss it later. ”

Mei'er was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Sage, the Bohai Kingdom now not only occupies half of the territory of Liaodong, but also expands its troops in recent years, not only controlling many places to the east, but even transferring troops to the north. Seeing that the sage's expression was indifferent, he said softly: "The military and political power of Bohai is controlled in the hands of Bohai Moli Zhiyuan Gaijian, and the King of Yongzang is just a puppet in the hands of Yuan Gaijian. ”

In the Bohai Kingdom, Mo Lizhi is equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but his power is even higher than that of the prime minister.

The sage chuckled and said, "I know Yuan Gaijian's thoughts. Asking for marriage from my Datang and giving the princess to marry is Yuangaijian's attempt to stabilize my Datang. His ultimate goal was just to hope that when Bohai expanded to the outside world, Datang, as a country of in-laws, would be indifferent. If I agree to give marriage, Yuan Gaijian will be even more unscrupulous. ”
