"I see!"

Lu Chengfeng sighed again and again.

Sure enough, the relationship between the officials of the DPRK and China is intricate and intertwined.

Especially the big officials who are the first of the first department, they all have their own high branches to follow.

Li Fengnian, the secretary of the household department, is the father-in-law of King Xuan, and Wang Shipu, the secretary of the ministry, is the predecessor of the prince's mother's family.

"So, who are the leaders of the other four departments?"

Lu Chengfeng muttered to himself, slowly looking back.

"The post of secretary of the Ministry of War, because the former secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Maolin, returned to his hometown, he is currently temporarily vacant."

Tian Zifang was straightforward and replied.

When it comes to the six departments, the only thing he cares about is the military department.

Everyone laughed at him for being a martial arts idiot. Since he is a martial artist who cares about kung fu with fists and feet, his dream is to either eliminate evil and promote good, fight with swords and go to the end of the world, or join the army to collect Guanshan and kill countless thieves!

In the current so-called prosperous and prosperous world, behind the glitz are prosperous ants.

The people of Yunzhou have suffered from war and have been scattered in all directions, and a huge Yunzhou is already a dead city and an empty city!

Tian Zifang felt in his heart, pinched his thighs fiercely, gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but scold:

"Fuck! Such an important position as the secretary of the Ministry of War actually returned to his hometown! It's only in his early fifties! Where is it old! Are you in such a hurry to return to your roots? I don't think he Xu Liang looks like a good person at all! Bah! ”

After Tian Zifang took a sip fiercely, he held up his big cheeks, and said with a hearty smile:

"The flames of war at the border of northern Xinjiang have not yet been extinguished! The dignified military department Shangshu took the lead in escaping! He doesn't want to be this official, so he might as well give someone someone in my field a try! I, Tian Zifang, dare to pat my chest and swear that if I take charge of the army one day, I will be loyal to my duty and fight until my last drop of blood is gone, and I will never take half a step back! ”

These heroic and dry words made Lu Chengfeng's heart secretly surge with blood!

He patted Tian Zifang on the shoulder, shouted a few words, and proposed:

"Good! I have a person with lofty ideals like Brother Tian in Dajingguo, why worry that Guanshan can't be recovered, why worry that Yunzhou is not home! Brother Tian, if you really want to join the army, I will go back to my father and write a letter of recommendation for you. My stepmother is also a general, and I recommend you to go to her father's Dingyuan general Mo Sanyu's army, what do you think? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness! However, someone in my field still has to repay the kindness of Lord Xiao Wu for the time being, and the capital is not peaceful, so I still have to protect him first. The plan of the army is long in the future. If I surrender to the army after that, I, Tian Zifang, would prefer to go to the front line of Yunzhou and kill the barbarians at the northern end looking for teeth! ”

Tian Zifang smiled and politely declined Lu Chengfeng's kindness.

"Okay, I don't know if the secretary of the military department is such an important position, who will take over in the future, let's wait and see!"

Lu Chengfeng smiled and nodded, and responded.

"Chen Maoshi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has always been a low-key person, calm and calm, good at studying the construction of craftsmen, not much to say in the court, and has time to mingle with those top craftsmen and manufacturers. I've never heard anyone speak ill of him. Someone who doesn't know who he is? ”

When Tian Zifang walked the rivers and lakes, he heard that the people in the rivers and lakes and the ordinary people, the most scolded after tea and dinner were nothing more than the officials and the military department, and some people scolded the household department, but he had never heard anyone scold this Ministry of Works.

I listened to several folk craftsmen, and when Chen Mao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came to him, they were full of praise.

said that he was a knowledgeable person, and a good official who sank down to mingle with everyone.

After listening to it a lot, Tian Ziyi also blurted out a few good words that he could say about Chen Maoshi.

"That's natural, Chen Maoshi was originally born in a construction family, his ancestors were craftsmen, he was exposed to it since he was a child, and his love for those jobs also came from nature. It's just that he accidentally took the imperial examination in high school, and because he specialized in the field of engineering, his professional skills were too prominent, so he was appointed by the emperor to become a scholar. ”

Lu Chengfeng's words also meant praise for Chen Maoshi.

He smiled, with a look of appreciation, and said:

"I also heard that he doesn't want to be this Shangshu yet! This Chen Maoshi really has a bit of personality! It's not the same as the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China! Interesting! Interesting! Hahahaha......"

"In other words, when Chen Mao, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was appointed by the emperor, not the prince or the prince of Xuanwang? According to His Royal Highness, this person has such a personality, he should not like to stand in line and not get involved in party disputes, right? ”

Tian Zifang scratched his head and asked.

"As it should be. Unless you hide too deeply behind your back, there is nothing to teach and receive privately. As far as I know so far, he is indeed an outlier among officials! ”

Lu Chengfeng was asked by him, and he also groaned for a while, and then slowly replied.

After that, he sighed again:

"However, because Chen Maoshi, the Shangshu, does not like to take care of things, in their Ministry of Industry, the interior is also divided, under the Shangshu, from the officials to the officials, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and it is normal for people to stand in line or swing."

Tian Zifang nodded again and again when he heard this, and then said:

"That's the Criminal Department! The Criminal Department is still the book of Gao Shu. A strict official and a cruel official, but he is called Master Shu all day long, which is really ironic! Hehe! ”

Lu Chengfeng heard that Tian Zifang's mouth was not good, so he asked vigilantly:

"What did Brother Tian say? What sensational rumors are there about Gao Shu? ”

"Your Royal Highness, do you know that our Dajing State has the best torture? In that torture, the Ten Zhi Jiǔ was created by this high forgiveness. The severe punishment law that we are currently enforcing in the Great Yasukuni was reformed under his hands. Although he is the secretary of the criminal department, he naturally wants to seek his own politics in his position, but his methods are too cruel! Has Your Highness ever heard of drum punishment? ”

"Drum punishment? What is the punishment? ”

Lu Chengfeng blinked his big eyes twice and asked curiously.

"It's to peel off a whole skin from a living person and make a drum surface. Because before he took up the new post of the Criminal Department, he held an important position in Dali Temple. Legend has it that the big drum at the entrance of Dali Temple was made of human skin that he peeled off alive...... Also, there's ......"

Tian Zifang's teeth seemed to suddenly leak a gust of cold wind, and he was silent.

"What else?"

Lu Chengfeng asked eagerly.

Tian Zifang's teeth seemed to suddenly shiver, collided up and down, made a sonorous sound, and took another breath of cool air, and then said:

"And there is more torture! Ling Chi! Owl Head! Punishment of the Trojan Horse! These tortures are not uncommon at his hands! I won't talk about the cruel ones! Talking too much, His Royal Highness will have nightmares tonight! I'm sick to eat when I say it! Don't say it, don't say it! ”

Tian Zifang just said a few common tortures, but suddenly stopped talking, waved his hand again and again, and shook his head like a rattle

That's it.

Then, at the head of the six departments, there is only the last one left - He Xuzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

In other words, although the Ministry of Rites is also one of the six, it always feels that it is not as dazzling and indispensable as the other five departments.

However, who is He Xuzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites? Is it King Xuan's vanguard or the prince's original pawn?

Lu Chengfeng tried hard to recall all kinds of observations and stories about the situation between the DPRK and China in Jinghua City for several months, but he always felt that He Zhixu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was like a vague back, which always made him unable to see clearly.

"Brother Tian, you said before that it was the Ministry of Rites who gave the excerpt to the emperor, and then the emperor directly designated the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang lantern case to the jurisdiction of Dali Temple?"

Lu Chengfeng frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked.

"That's right! I listened to what Lord Wu said after he came back from the court a few days ago. said that it was invited by the court, and the emperor gave permission in front of the civil and military officials. That day, the people of Dali Temple came to our Jingzhao Mansion prison and took people away. ”

Tian Zifang said without thinking.

"Oops! The power of heaven is unpredictable! If Master You is still in Jingzhao Mansion, it is easy to say, since he has been taken by Dali Temple, or the emperor personally decreed, I am afraid that there will be more auspicious and less! ”

A thick layer of frost condensed on Lu Chengfeng's heart, covering the free grassland of Xinma, and if he was not careful, he would never recover.

"Your Highness! That Master You is your sweetheart's father! I have explained everything in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, and the jailers never dared to criticize him too harshly, and never punished him! It's just that, I heard that the dungeon of Dali Temple, but there are people in and no one out! What else does Your Highness have to do? In fact, we all know that everything is made by the barbarians of the North End! ”

Tian Zifang's words are simple but sincere, but they simply point to the current situation that makes Lu Chengfeng the most anxious.

Yes, he also knows about the eighteen tortures in the dungeon of Dali Temple, but what can he do now?

You can't rob prison for love, can you? This is too reckless, and I am afraid that it will bring even greater disasters and harm more innocent people!

So, is there anything else that can be done?

Lu Chengfeng almost wanted to wear through his head, but he was still helpless.

He was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.

The barbarian at the north end, the fire devours the thunder bead, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, the sky descends on the fire, and the four proverbs......

Everything that has happened since the Shangyuan Festival is constantly replaying in Lu Chengfeng's mind like a movie picture.

"Perhaps, I can go to my father and ask him to play the hidden story behind the burning of the dragon and phoenix lanterns? Or, beg him to take me into the palace, and I will go to the imperial grandfather in person? By the way, Nianjiao, Nianjiao's sister is the most loved by the imperial grandfather, if she is willing to help, the imperial grandfather may be willing to let go? ”

Lu Chengfeng said to himself while thinking about countermeasures.

"Maybe you can give it a go? It's just that when it comes to the people of the north and the magic of the north end, will the emperor suspect that the You family is colluding with the north end and deliberately destroying auspicious rui in secret and causing trouble? Wouldn't this make it more dangerous for the Youjia? ”

"Secretly collaborating with the enemy is a heinous and grave crime! If he is really convicted like this, not only will he not be able to save Master You, but he will put the entire You clan on the pillar of shame, and the disaster of exterminating the clan will come to the door! ”

Thinking of this, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, just like he had just experienced a severe cold with a high fever in the summer.
