Chapter 174: Luoyang, the Eastern Capital
On the second day, Andingfang, Dali Temple.
Since the time of Chen, Dali Temple has been lively.
The Dali Temple Wuhou, the black armor sergeant of the left Tun Guard, and the female general of the Rouge Army of the Right Tun Wei came one after another, blocking the main gate of the Dali Temple tightly.
It seems that important people will come.
At the end of the hour, Sima Jiu and the left Tunwei general Mai Tie Staff were placed side by side on the right Tunwei general Dugu Shengli, and came to the gate of Dali Temple.
Sima Jiu's official residence in Dali Temple is straight from the sixth grade, and Mai Tiecane and Dugu Shengli are the general of Zhengsanpin, Sima Jiu can stand side by side with Mai Tiecane, which explains many things.
As soon as the three of them arrived at Dali Temple, Yang Xuanting had already appeared at the gate of Dali Temple.
"The generals of the left and right guards came to Dali Temple at the same time, so that Dali Temple is full of brilliance, please come in." Yang Xuanting went out and bowed to greet him.
After Dugu Shengli simply returned the salute, she walked to the Dali Temple.
Mai Tiezhu looked at Dugu Shengli's back, shook his head slightly, and then returned the salute to Yang Xuanting: "Lord Yang doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Please!"
"Hmm!"
Then, Yang Xuanting slapped Sima Jiu heavily behind Mai Tiezhu.
"Good boy, my father really didn't see the wrong person. This vampire demon has repeatedly committed crimes in Dongcheng, and he has not solved the case for months, but I didn't expect you to solve the vampire demon case so quickly. ”
"The adults have good guidance, and thanks to the assistance of the left and right guards, and the generals of the right guards, they have only brought the murderer to justice, and their subordinates dare not say anything." Sima Jiu bowed.
"Hahahaha! You kid. ”
"Dali Temple Qing Changming, if you don't come to Dali Temple today, presumably, he was angry with the virtuous brother. The vampire demon case that Dali Temple has not solved for several months, and the virtuous brother solved it in less than two days, which really made the pillars of the imperial law angry. Then, Yang Xuanting pulled Sima Jiu and whispered a few words.
Sima Jiu didn't know how to answer.
"Brother Xian, how was it in Dugu Shengli's arms last night?" Yang Xuanting said with a wicked smile.
"My lord, last night, my subordinates were exhausted......
Yang Xuanting squeezed another glance at Sima Jiu and interrupted: "Virtuous brother Hugh wants to say more, for brother to understand." ”
Then, he looked at the long-legged Dugu Shengli, and then looked at Sima Jiu with jealousy, and thought to himself: "You are really handsome, perhaps, the ninth brother has broken the peony flower." ”
Yang Xuanting thought in his heart, but the number of etiquette was still in place.
He left Sima Jiu, who looked innocent, and followed the general Tunwei into the hall of Dali Temple.
At this time, the female general of the Rouge Army had already placed the wooden box containing the powder of the puppet in the center of the lobby.
Today, Dali Temple Qing Changming is not in Dali Temple, therefore, Dali Temple Shaoqing Yang Xuanting is the first person in Dali Temple.
Yang Xuanting opened the wooden box, and after checking it, he calmly asked Wuhou of Dali Temple to put the wooden box away.
"This demon, for the disaster of the emperor for a long time, as many as 100 victims, is really evil, today ambush, it is really the emperor's great luck. To solve the vampire demon case, the left and right guards should be the first to take credit, and I have already made it clear to Your Majesty, and I ask for credit for the left and right guards. Yang Xuanting's tone was impassioned.
Mai Tiezhu echoed and smiled, but Dugu Shengli ignored him and just glared at Sima Jiu.
It turned out that after Dugu Shengli left yesterday, the unconscious Xia Ruohan was woken up by Sima Jiu in front of the experimental mice of acupuncture.
Subsequently, Sima Jiu told Xia Ruohan about the details of the capture and killing of the puppet.
Xia Ruohan was thrilled to hear it, and under the guidance of Sima Jiu, he wrote down the file of the vampire demon hunting case.
In the dossier, Dugu Shengli's merits were highlighted, and Yang Xuanting, who had never appeared, was even described as strategic, downplaying Sima Jiu's existence.
In addition, in addition to recording the cunning and bloodthirsty superficial articles of the puppets, there is no mention of the snake puppets, the voices made by the puppets, Sima Jiu's harmless sword, and Dugu Shengli's incense ruler, which implements Yang Xuanting's strategy of 'only catching the murderer, not asking the reason'.
Early this morning, Xia Ruohan rushed to Dali Temple and presented the file to Yang Xuanting, who entered the palace as soon as he received the file to present it to His Majesty.
On the way to Dali Temple, Dugu Shengli kept rolling her eyes at Sima Jiu.
In the dossier, Sima Jiu threw all the credit to Zuo Tunwei and Yang Xuanting, which made Dugu Shengli despise Sima Jiu's flattery of Shangguan.
After a while, when everyone was chatting, Wu Hou came to report, and Pei Ju, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, personally came to Dali Temple with His Majesty's grace.
Everyone present knew that Pei Ju was a big celebrity beside His Majesty, except for Dugu Shengli, who was still cold, no one else dared to slack off and went out to greet him.
Pei Ju passed through the northwest and made great contributions to the empire, and Sima Jiu also wanted to see how Pei Ju was.
The mediocre figure was Sima Jiu's first impression of him.
It's just that the small handful of beard on his chin, coupled with his calm face and deep eyes, shows that this person is extraordinary.
“....... Chin this. Pei Ju read more than 100 words in front of everyone before putting away the holy decree.
Among them, Yang Xuanting benefited the most.
Dali Temple detected the vampire demon case, the new emperor Yang Guanglong Yan Dayue, promoted Yang Xuanting to Dali Temple, in charge of the empire's top judicial department Dali Temple, the former Dali Temple Secretary Chang Ming was transferred to Shangshu Province, and another appointment was made.
Dugu Shengli and Mai Tie Staff were rewarded handsomely, but in the holy decree, there was no mention of Sima Jiu who fought to the death against the puppets of the agency.
After listening to the holy decree, Dugu Shengli saw that Sima Jiu's face did not change, and she couldn't help but secretly praise Sima Jiu's extraordinary qi pattern in her heart.
However, Sima Jiu, who was calm on the outside, had already been excited in his heart.
Sima Jiu solved the vampire demon case, Yang Xuanting benefited the most, he is bound to value Sima Jiu more, Yang Xuanting is the son of Yang Su, Yang Xuanting values Sima Jiu, in a certain sense, it is Yang Su who values Sima Jiu.
Although Sima Jiu did not receive a physical reward, his potential benefits are immeasurable.
In this way, Sima Jiu was naturally satisfied.
Of course, it's better to have physical rewards.
After Pei Ju announced the holy decree, Yang Xuanting took Pei Ju to reminisce on the grounds of setting up a banquet in Dali Temple.
Dugu Shengli didn't like such a scene, so she casually found a reason and left.
Originally, the banquet of the high-ranking officials of the empire did not have the position of Sima Jiu, the director of the Liupin Dali Temple, but Yang Xuanting pulled him to the banquet.
Yang Xuanting's banquet was nothing more than a celebration of his promotion.
Everyone present congratulated him.
It was also at the banquet that Sima Jiu saw Pei Ju and Mai Tiezhu talking and laughing, and he finally knew who Mai Tiezhu was relying on in the court.
Pei Ju raised his wine glass, drank it all, and said slowly: "The country is fair and merges the state, and the hard work is high." His Majesty has appointed the Ministry of Rites, drawn up a list of 100 officials, and three days later, the suburbs will welcome the triumphant departure of the Duke of Yue. ”
When Yang Xuanting heard his father's name, he lowered his hands and pressed them on his knees as a sign of respect.
"Tang Guogong's request to open a government in Bingzhou on the grounds that the people of the old land of the Han Dynasty were unstable and needed to be appeased, has been rejected by His Majesty." Speaking of this, Pei Ju glanced at Sima Jiu.
Subsequently, Pei Ju said: "Two, I don't know what to think of the Eastern Capital that was discussed by the court a few days ago? ”
Mai Tiezhu bowed slightly, and Yang Xuan seemed to be thoughtful.
Yang Xuanting said: "The empire has built granaries around Luoyang, rested passes, and repaired Luoyang City. However, there are also many opposing voices in the DPRK and China. ”
Pei Ju put down the wine glass in his hand and said word by word: "Luoyang lives in the middle of the world and enjoys the benefits of Kyushu. ”
"Establishing Luoyang as the eastern capital is the first priority of the empire, and if you are dissatisfied with Xuan Ting's brother, Your Majesty has decided that the Duke of Yue Guo will preside over the overall situation."
Sima Jiu's heart moved, he knew that the wheel of history finally did not deviate from the original track, and began to rumble and roll.
