The functions and use of the various courtyards and ministries in Longdu City are slightly different, the so-called eight departments and six courts, namely the military department, the household department, the official department, the ritual department, the criminal department, the Ministry of industry, the Ministry of agriculture and the river department, and the six courtyards are the Supervision Yuan, the Tai Hospital, the Taishi Academy, the Tai Academy, the Fan Li Yuan, the Wentian Yuan, the eight departments are managed by the right minister Wang Cheng, and the six courtyards are managed by the left minister Zhang Kuan, the office location of the two is the prime minister's mansion in the palace, the prime minister's mansion does not stay at night, and the eight departments are the same as the prime minister's mansion only as an office location, and no overnight stay is allowed. On the contrary, there are six courtyards, which have both office locations and residential functions, such as the Taishi Academy.

The Taishi Academy of the Holy Han Empire is similar to the National Archives and Information Database, not only recording everything in the palace, but also recording various information of the government and the people, as well as the backup of the holy decree and the backup of the folds. Naturally, for historical records, the Taishi Academy cannot guarantee complete 100% objectivity and fairness, and even re-revise history decades later, after all, every emperor needs to beautify himself.

The function of Wentianyuan is mainly used for sacrifices, and the royal family pays attention to etiquette, although the Ministry of Etiquette presides over various state ceremonies, but for some divination and ancestor worship, the wedding day of the princes and princesses must be undertaken by Wentianyuan. Therefore, Wentian Yuan has the lowest functions and status among the eight departments and six courts, and even every time it goes to the early court, it only needs to be a representative. Or Si Cheng, or the manager, or the outsider, or the other driver, and even sometimes in order to train the newcomers of Wentian Academy, they will send Wentian Yuan James to face the saint. Since Wentianyuan was ranked at the very edge of the last row, in fact, the emperor couldn't notice that Wentianyuan would be replaced by someone on the court.

The officials of Wentian Yuan are very different from other ministries and courts of the imperial court, and the officials of other ministries may have passed the imperial examination or the martial arts examination, but the officials of Wentian Yuan need to be proficient in Zhou Yi Bagua divination and alchemy and other mathematical techniques, so that most of the officials of Wentian Yuan adopt the recommendation system or even the apprenticeship system.

Yuan De's father is the attendant of Wentian Academy, and his master has also been a driver of Wentian Academy, and now Yuan De is the secretary of Wentian Academy, and he has also received the support of all the officials of Wentian Academy, so Yuan De's prestige in Wentian Academy is extremely high.

Uncle Dushan waited at the door for a long time, and when he saw the servant coming back with a strange face, he said, "Uncle, my lord Sicheng is not at home. ”

"What?"

Du Shanbo then led people to forcibly break into Yuan De's courtyard, and saw that the servants were thrown there, but Yuan De's family was gone, he pushed open the door of Yuan De's bedroom, and saw a paper figure in front of the oil lamp, cut into the appearance of reading, and after being set off by the light, it seemed that Yuan Sicheng was reading in the middle of the night. It is no wonder that the servants have returned for a long time, and when they come back, they look strange.

Du Shanbo asked, "Do you know when Yuan Sicheng will come back?" ”

"It's an hour to come back."

"When are you leaving?"

"But I don't know."

Du Shanbo frowned, and found a letter on the table, which was addressed to Zhang Kuan, but he did not have the patience to wait for Zhang Kuan to inform him of the content of the letter, so he opened it without permission. The content of the letter is simple, it is nothing more than to say goodbye to the left minister, and apologize to His Majesty, the specific reason is to peep into the sky, and he must encounter a catastrophe afterwards, Yuan De said that the bigger the official does, the more severe the revenge of this catastrophe, so for the safety of the whole family, he decided to resign from the government for the people, travel to the rivers and lakes, and be a hermit.

"This Yuan De ......" Du Shanbo looked at the slightly lit sky outside the window, a little stunned, he recalled Yuan De's words, and his heart became a little worried. He also felt that Yuan De seemed to be talking about his granddaughter, the future queen, so he asked worriedly, but what he didn't expect was that Yuan De actually fled. Du Shanbo's heart was even more frightened, he returned the letter to the servant, and returned to the house with his men.

Due to the cancellation of the morning dynasty the next day, the hundred officials were rarely much more relaxed, but last night many nobles in the capital were surrounded by the imperial forest army, combined with the cancellation of the early dynasty today, which suddenly attracted the suspicion of the hundred officials and nobles. Later, someone found that the four gates of the palace were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave except for the Imperial Forest Army, and everyone speculated.

In the evening, there was news from the imperial envoy of the imperial study that the morning court would be temporarily stopped within three days, and all the recitals would be handed over to the imperial study for annotation as usual. The ministers hurriedly asked what was going on in the palace, and the envoys shook their heads and said that they didn't know, although the imperial study was in the palace, because of the rules, they did not contact the palace maids and eunuchs, so they did not know.

But there was a suspicion in everyone's hearts that something had happened to the emperor.

The emperor really had an accident, and Imperial Physician Dong predicted that Emperor Dade would wake up the next day, but the emperor was in a coma for three days before he woke up, but after waking up, his health was still extremely poor. After the sunset, the water was infected with a wind chill, and because of the pressure that had been pressing on his heart, all the diseases deposited in his body broke out at once. Imperial Physician Dong also spent his whole life learning to save the emperor from a coma, but he didn't expect the emperor to wake up, but Imperial Physician Dong was sick.

After Emperor Dade woke up, he asked Zhang Kuan, Wang Cheng and Dushanbo to temporarily deal with the government affairs, and the three of them naturally received their orders. Emperor Dade summoned the prince again, the little prince is only five years old this year, and because of his mother's humble background, he is not close to the prince on weekdays. However, he was worried that his time was running out, and he was worried that the courtiers would set up the ninth brother as the new emperor, so he asked the little prince Xuanyuan Chenghua to accompany him at all times. For the ninth brother, although Emperor Dade usually likes it, but on this issue related to the throne, he made a very cold choice.

Emperor Dade summoned Wang Jingzhi alone and told him that if he was not in good health, he must kill the seventh brother Xuanyuan Zidong and the ninth brother Xuanyuan Zichi, and asked Wang Jingzhi to immediately poison the four Xuanyuan Zijin. Wang Jingzhi was taken aback, he never expected that the emperor, who was known for his benevolence and poetry talent, would act so decisively and viciously, not to mention the royal family, even his compatriots and brothers would be dealt with quickly.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Emperor Dade sneered: "Yushuai, what's the matter, don't you even listen to my words?" Do you also want to disappear like Yuan De? ”

Wang Jingzhi was shocked, immediately knelt on the ground to apologize, and then returned to the Jinyi Guard, summoned his henchmen from all sides, and explained the emperor's requirements to the Quartet. After hearing this, the Quartet cried and laughed again and again, and said: "Kill the fourth, kill the seventh, kill the ninth, and in the end, you have to commit suicide." ”

Wang Jingzhi: "If I don't kill them, I will die." ”

Quartet thought for a while and said, "The emperor's road is no longer insured, so I suggest going to Dushanbo." ”

"Defect to Dushanbo?"

"Yes."

Wang Jingzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's impossible, if I voted for the emperor, I was rejected by Dushanbo." ”

Soon after, the fourth emperor brother Xuanyuan Zijin died violently after drinking, and it is said that he took some drugs after drinking and died of an overdose. In order to cover up the scandal, it was announced that Xuanyuan Zijin died of illness after drinking.

The next day, after ten days of cultivation, the emperor returned to the court, but the emperor was pale and unable to speak, and the officials were worried. Emperor Dade sneered psychologically, still pretending to be weak, and said hoarsely: "Ladies and gentlemen, report something important." ”
