Chapter 812: The new official goes to office again

Of course, Sun Tu knew how bad Qin Hui's reputation was in the later generations, but this did not affect his use of this person at this time, after all, his reputation in the court was not very good now. And in addition to the army, he really can't find a few helpers in Tokyo, and Qin Hui has already shown a certain talent, but his identity is humble, and he can just control it. As for the future, let's talk about it, Sun Tu still has this confidence.

When he said this, Sun Tu's eyes glanced at Qin Hui, and the latter's face showed confusion and excitement. Of course, he knew that a civil official from a jinshi would cause great controversy if he took refuge under a military general like Sun Tu, and would even be regarded as scum by his colleagues, but he knew better that this was the best opportunity he had encountered in so many years!

Qin Hui was admitted to the Jinshi in the five-year examination of Zhenghe, and he was twenty-five years old at the time, which is already a rare genius in the imperial examination. However, his luck ended here, and in the next ten years, he only went out once, but he was quickly deficient, and in the end he could only waste his years in the Tokyo Hanlin Academy, as a petty official who couldn't see hope, and this kind of hard life lasted for ten years, and it looked like it was far from the end.

And today, at least for now, a high-ranking official who seems to him to be extremely prominent has recruited him, how can this not make him feel moved? If it were a different person, maybe for the sake of the so-called dignity or something, he would refuse Sun Tu's kindness, but Qin Hui's fame and fortune were extremely heavy, and he had already had enough of such a hard life, so he only hesitated slightly, then quickly turned around and bowed solemnly: "It is a great honor for Hui to be appreciated by the Marquis of Yue, and he dares not to assist him wholeheartedly, for the Hou Ye, for the court to arrest Xiaoxiao." ”

"Good!" Sun Tu smiled with satisfaction: "With Qin Xuezheng's help, Ben Hou's grasp is one more point." ”

"Don't dare, please ask the Marquis of Yue to call the official's expression." Qin Hui is a smart person, and immediately took the opportunity to get closer to the relationship between himself and Sun Tu. After that, the two chatted casually, and soon left the palace, at least on the surface, the relationship between the two was much closer, and they looked like their subordinates were complacent.

It wasn't until Sun Tu stepped on the horse and wanted to leave that Qin Hui showed a trace of embarrassment, he didn't have a horse because of his family's constraints, he didn't even have a donkey, and he walked to the Hanlin Courtyard on weekdays. Seeing this, Sun Tu waved his hand and asked people to set out a horse for him to ride, fortunately, there is such an item as horse riding in the six arts of the gentleman, so he didn't let Qin Hui show his timidity, but when it came to galloping horses, he was still a little worse after all, and he could only barely keep up with the team.

It was precisely because he wanted to put more than eighty percent of his mind on stabilizing his figure, Qin Hui didn't find out until everyone stopped that the place where he was stationed was not the front division of the palace or the tiger camp, but a small military station with a somewhat narrow face and a little deserted.

The name of the Imperial City Division is big enough, but in fact, it is really not a well-known yamen in Tokyo, and even many people in the capital have never heard of such a yamen. And the reason for this is that the errands handled by the Imperial City Division are too far away from the people, and more than eighty percent of their power is placed on supervising hundreds of officials.

And this is already the old Huang calendar, at least the supervision power of the Imperial City Division has almost been taken away by the Imperial Historical Observatory, and they are just making a small fuss, even if in fact they still have the right to face the Son of Heaven, and the right to meddle in the supervision of the cases of officials of all sizes in Bianjing, in fact, it is the same. In the final analysis, just because they are counted as military generals, they have long been overwhelmed by the civilian system, so they almost have to find a reason to remove them!

Yes, this can actually be compared with the two factories and one guard of the later Ming Dynasty, and the terrifying plum blossom internal guard of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty.

Now this yamen not only looks deserted and dilapidated outside, but there are also two or three big cats and kittens inside, and even Sun Tu has brought people into it for a while, before someone comes forward to ask about the identity, which really makes people feel sad.

Sun Tu immediately showed his goldfish bag and the documents he had just obtained from the palace, and said: "This official Sun Tu was promoted by the Imperial City Division of His Majesty's Qin, I don't know if the Wei Si is in the yamen?" ”

Hearing that he reported to his home, the official's expression suddenly moved, and he didn't dare to have the slightest contempt, so he hurriedly led a few of them inside with a half-bow: "Wei Sizheng is handling official business inside, and he also asks Yuehou to come in with Xiaoxiao." ”

The courtyard of the Imperial City Si Yamen is not big, only a few steps have passed, and after passing through a small courtyard gate, you will arrive at the office of the officials inside, and a slightly larger room facing the portal is the public house of Si Zheng Wei Chengnian. At this time, a man with a fairly burly figure and some gray hair was holding a book and reading it, until he heard footsteps, he raised his eyes, and quickly met Sun Tu's four eyes, which also looked over, making both of them seem to be slightly surprised.

It was a sharp gaze that could only be shown by the habit developed after a hundred battles on the battlefield, and both sides were a little surprised that they would meet similar people here, especially Wei Chengnian subconsciously looked Sun Tu up and down a few times, guessing his identity, until his subordinates made an introduction, he got up with a smile on his face and said: "It turned out that the Marquis of Yue was coming, and the lower officials were far away." ”

"Wei Si is serious, it should be the lower officials to see you." Sun Tu hurriedly stepped forward to support his movements, and then hugged his fists and said: "I came to serve at the behest of His Majesty, and from today on, I will be the promotion of this Imperial City Division, that is, your subordinate of Sizheng." ”

Wei Chengnian sighed thoughtfully, and only smiled after a while: "That's too condescending, it really makes the old man feel uneasy." ”

What he said is not bad, Sun Tu is already a marquis, and he is also a member of the third rank of the imperial court, the official after the festival stays, and the dispatch of the marquis Yu in front of the palace, which is far higher than his position as the secretary of the imperial city who only has the fifth grade on Wei Chengnian. But now, Sun Tu has actually become his subordinate, and all the pressure falls on him, the boss.

But even if Sun Tu's identity was seen from the bearing on his body and the goldfish bag on his waist, there was no need to lie about it, Wei Chengnian still smiled: "But I don't know if the court's survey documents are available?" "After all, we still have to look at it.

Sun Tu didn't think it was wrong, and handed over the document immediately, although there was no seal from the Privy Council, but just looking at the seal of the emperor above was enough to prove that what he said was true, and it also made Wei Chengnian have complicated thoughts in his heart.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, Wei Chengnian already knew that Sun Tu would be promoted to the new Imperial City Division, and he felt that this fact was too strange at that time. This Imperial City Division is famous, and it was indeed beautiful a few decades ago, but now it has long become a marginal yamen, and there is not much real power to speak of.

This is only the fifth grade, and the following promotion is only from the official position of the sixth grade, even if it is sent, it will not be allowed to be a third-grade high-ranking official with a marquis. So when the matter was dragged down later, and after hearing that it was related to the arrangement of the front division of the palace, he didn't even dare to inquire, just thinking that it was a rumor, and he couldn't do it at all.

But who would have thought that after these days, the rumored Sun Tu actually came by himself. And after bypassing the front division of the palace and the Privy Council, he came directly with the will of the Son of Heaven, how many mysteries are hidden in this, even if he is just a martial artist, he can also see a lot of doorways.

After pretending to read the documents carefully and having a plan in his heart, Wei Chengnian smiled and said: "This is still too wronged by the Marquis of Yue, my Imperial City Division is just a small yamen, and there are almost no errands to do, you have also seen it, and now it is really a door......

"Wei Si is just saying this, in the eyes of the lower officials, there is no useless yamen, not to mention that my Imperial City Division should be an indispensable security yamen in this Tokyo city. I've heard it a long time ago, the Imperial City Division is known as the supervisor of hundreds of officials, and the power of the Son of Heaven is straightforward, so how can there be nothing to do? "Now that he is here, it is impossible for Sun Tu to make this yamen as obscure as before, and the current matter cannot help him to take his time to sort out the various problems here, so when he came here today, he has to go straight to the point, at least to hand over the bottom to the other party.

His words made Wei Chengnian's eyebrows jump: "What does Yue Hou mean by this?" Although my Imperial City Division has these powers, it is not needed now, and it is also due to the rules of the DPRK and China......"

"The rules were meant to be broken, otherwise my Imperial City Division would not have ended up in such a deserted situation today." Sun Tu immediately interrupted: "Si Zheng, I can't hide it, this time the official asked His Majesty for this document, which is exactly where it is used in the name of the Imperial City Division, because next, I will track down the important case of Tongliao, and the only one who will try all this is my Imperial City Division!" ”

"The Tongliao case?" Wei Chengnian's face changed again when he said this, but his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Is this true? But are there any officials involved? ”

"Yes, but I don't know if the Wei Division is thinking that our Imperial City Division is qualified to investigate this case?"

"Of course! The official ...... This official will definitely do his best to help Yue Hou investigate this case to the end! Speaking of which, Wei Chengnian's eyes have already revealed that this is like an old bureaucrat who has nothing to do but mess around, and he is clearly an old general who is about to go to the battlefield again!

And his performance was also a little unexpected by Sun Tu, he originally thought that the other party would use some excuses to refuse, but he had thought of all kinds of words, but now it is good, saving a lot of work.

It can be said that since he joined the office, this time to the Imperial City Division is the most worry-free experience!
