The first main gate of the imperial city is called "Daming Gate", that is, the "Daqing Gate" of the Qing Dynasty and the "China Gate" of the Republic of China.

However, unless the national ceremony, the Daming Gate will not be opened, and the hundred officials can only enter and exit from the East and West Chang'an Gate.

Zhou Chong was guarding outside the West Chang'an Gate at the moment, although he was the chief butler, but every time Wang Yuan went to the court, he personally led the horse to escort him at night.

Hei was tethered to a horse stake at the door, which was equivalent to a parking space for civil and military officials.

There were also two carriages parked next to it, which were Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's cars.

"Big brother, are we really going to tie up that Wang Erlang?" Zhang Yanling's tone was unwilling.

Zhang Heling said depressedly: "Do you think I want to slap him? Without His Majesty's support, he's a fart! ”

Zhang Yanling muttered: "I just feel faceless." ”

"Is face important, or is lining important?" Zhang Heling was indignant, "Your Majesty said that if you turn your face, you will turn your face, and those officials will impeach us, and let Jinyiwei arrest many of our house slaves." Now don't talk about driving through the streets, you can't even enter the leopard room, and the eunuchs and Jinyi guards are also avoiding our brothers. If you want to please Your Majesty, you have to start from Wang Erlang. ”

Zhang Yanling pondered: "Big brother, do you say that Your Majesty is really not our nephew?" ”

"Shut up, you want to die!" Zhang Heling was frightened.

Zhang Yanling said: "I'm just a little curious. ”

Zhang Heling said: "This matter can't be talked about, the Queen Mother won't admit it, and the emperor doesn't dare to investigate, whoever gets involved is a capital crime!" ”

The life of the two uncles was very sad, they were impeached every three or five times, and a lot of old accounts were turned over. The civil officials did not distinguish between factions at all, and they all wanted to attack the nobles and relatives, and this time they finally seized the opportunity.

In less than a month, more than 30 of them were captured by domestic slaves, and many of them died after being tortured, and the Zhang brothers were forced to vomit out more than 1,000 acres of fertile land on the outskirts of Beijing.

Now, even the ordinary people in the capital know that Uncle Guo has lost his favor. There are gangsters who come to the door to blackmail, if they don't give enough money, they will accuse Uncle Guo of taking people's lives in a certain year and a certain month.

Zhang Heling got out of the car and came to Zhou Chong's side, and accosted him with a smile: "This horse is really a miracle!" ”

"I've seen Master Hou." Zhou Chong saluted and greeted, and then stood there without saying anything.

Zhang Heling asked again: "Wang Erlang is riding this BMW to fight, right?" ”

"Exactly." Zhou Chong didn't want to say more, his personality was much calmer, and he had already started to brag before.

Zhang Heling said with a smile: "Last spring, thieves attacked my manor in the southern suburbs and burned my house to the ground. Thanks to Wang Erlang's rescue, he was able to keep Benhou's countless goods, but unfortunately he was usually too busy and never had time to express his gratitude. ”

Zhou Chong said: "Kill the thief's ear with righteousness, and don't ask for thanks." ”

Zhang Heling looked inside the door and said, "Wang Erlang hasn't come out yet, so he must have been recruited by His Majesty to the leopard room." ”

Zhou Chong said: "I don't know. ”

……

Wang Yuan was chatting with Zhang Lun, and when he came out of the noon gate, he found that Zhang Lun had been waiting.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Zhang Lun clenched his fists and said.

Wang Yuan hurriedly replied: "It shouldn't be, Zhang Jianqing is serious!" ”

Zhang Lun, as the secretary of Dali Temple, is one of the nine dignified secretaries, he sighed: "In the big case of 300 lives, no one in the six ministries, six departments and cabinet dares to uphold justice, only Wang Erlang is willing to hand over the chapter." Alas, in such a world, the country will not be a country. ”

"Why did Zhang Jianqing say this, the world is unfair, and we should work harder to maintain it," Wang Yuan heard the subtext in the other party's words and asked, "Does Zhang Jianqing want to resign?" ”

Zhang Lun said: "If the main culprit in this case escapes the death penalty, I will definitely resign and return to my hometown." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and didn't speak.

The mouth of a civil official, whoever believes in it is a fool, Zhang Lun is likely to use this to invite fame. He worked against Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu, most of the ministers, and most of them didn't want to create unjust cases, rather than really maintain judicial fairness - of course, this is also commendable, at least he is still acting like this, and the other two presiding judges don't even do face.

In fact, if it weren't for Wang Yuan flapping his butterfly wings, Zhang Lun would no longer be a Dali temple secretary last winter. It was only because the emperor promoted Wang Yuan to a bachelor's degree that a series of official changes occurred, causing Zhang Lun to continue to sit in this position.

A few days later, Zhang Lun was transferred to the Ministry of Industry as a right-hand waiter and was no longer in charge of hearing the case. According to the grade, he must be promoted, but what happens in the follow-up depends on how he is promoted next time.

Zhu Houzhao is very interesting, obviously he began to hate Yang Yiqing, but asked Yang Yiqing to recommend the new Dali Siqing.

Yang Yiqing is absolutely competent, and he actually recommends Yan Zhong, the right deputy envoy. Yan Zhong, the new secretary of Dali Temple, behaved more fiercely than Zhang Lun, and under the huge pressure of the two ministers, he wanted to bring the mastermind of the case to justice.

Zhu Houzhao secretly watched the show, changed his opinion of Yang Yiqing, and sent someone to investigate Yan Zhong's details.

The result made Zhu Houzhao very surprised, Yan Zhong has been an official for decades, his family has no money to spare, he barely lives on a living, there are not even a few slaves, and his life is very hard.

Compared with Yan Zhong, Zhang Lun is a fart!

It can be seen from this that Yang Yiqing is very suitable for being a secretary of the ministry, and the people he recommends are all real talents, and the personalities and abilities of these talents are consistent with the position.

Yan Zhong's new official took office, tried a large number of backlog cases, and turned over all the previous unjust cases for review. Jin Wei and Chang Lun were highly regarded by Yan Zhong, and after the petition was approved, they were both appointed as judges of Dali Temple (judges of the Supreme Court), and finally they no longer had to be interns.

……

Out of Chengtianmen, Wang Yuan and Zhang Lun said goodbye, one to the west and the other to the east, and went home.

Zhang Heling immediately greeted him with a smile: "Last year, I was fortunate that Master Wang killed the thieves and retired the thieves, so I was able to keep some money, and I never came to thank him, which is really rude." ”

"It's just a matter of effort." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Zhang Yanling also ran over: "The ball game that Mr. Wang did was really good-looking, and I went to cheer every time I played." ”

Wang Yuan smiled again: "A little trick, not enough to mention. ”

Zhang Heling smiled and said: "Is Bachelor Wang free today, our brothers are the east, please ask Bachelor Wang to have a few drinks." ”

Wang Yuan refused politely: "It's a pity that I really can't pull away." ”

Such a lack of face made the two uncles very unhappy, but they didn't dare to show it on the spot. He talked nonsense with Wang Yuan, and then said goodbye and left, but they also achieved their goal, that is, to buy two pairs of clairvoyant mirrors from Wang Yuan.

The clairvoyant mirror is a royal item, which can only be purchased in the Leopard House Commercial Street, and many merchants cannot buy it even if they have money.

As long as Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling take out the clairvoyant mirror, they can prove that they have a good relationship with the emperor, at least they will not be blackmailed by the gangsters anymore.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Zhang brothers sent three thousand taels of silver.

One thousand taels of them were used to buy two pairs of clairvoyant mirrors. The remaining two thousand taels were a gift to Wang Yuan, thanking Wang Yuan for killing and repelling the thieves who ransacked the manor last year.

Wang Yuan happily accepted the three thousand taels of silver, and sent one thousand five hundred taels to Zhu Houzhao, and the monarch and the ministers shared the spoils, leaving no handle.

Evening.

The craftsman came over with the freshly sharpened lenses: "Please audition, Mr. Wang!" ”

Wang Yuan assembled the lenses, and the telescope was more than three feet long, and it was clearly an astronomical telescope. It has failed twice before, and the main reason is the caliber and focal length problems, and Wang Yuan can only revise it repeatedly on the basis of failure.

On the night of the full moon, Wang Yuan looked up at the starry sky, and the astronomical telescope was his eyes.

"Sir, do you see the moon?" Du Jin has officially apprenticed, and he is ten years older than his teacher Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan said, "Come and see for yourselves." ”

Du Jin leaned over curiously, only glanced at it, and then shuddered: "This, this, this...... Is this the moon? ”

"I'll take a look." Bao Chaozhen said with a smile.

After a few breaths, Bao Chaozhen also couldn't speak.

Although Wang Wensu has served in the household department, he still lives in Wang Yuan's house, just a petty official of Jiupin Sesame. In the future, if Wang Yuan is released, he only needs to say a word, and he can bring out Wang Wensu's humanoid calculator.

Wang Wensu looked at it repeatedly for a while, and then moved the telescope, wanting to observe the other stars.

"Why is this happening?" Bao Chaozhen asked.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll go to see Your Majesty tomorrow to see what Your Majesty's attitude is." ”
