Kyoshi, Mochizuki Tower.

Mochizuki Tower is a well-known restaurant of the Jingshi family, although it cannot be compared with the famous natural residence, but it is also one of the restaurants where the powerful families in Beijing often gather.

As the sky darkened, the group walked out of the Moon Tower, greeted by a burst of alcohol.

"I'm not drunk, I won't go home if I don't get drunk today!"

"I can still drink, give me another pot of wine!"

"Brother Chen, Fang Xiong, Brother Wei is drunk, you two send him back."

……

Several young people scattered at the door of Wangyue Tower, Tang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at a young man beside him, and said, "Brother Zhou, you and I are on the same road, let's go back together." ”

The young man nodded, and said, "That's very good." ”

Tang Jing walked down the street with him, chatted for a while, and asked casually: "I heard that Brother Zhou is not bad on an errand in Yushitai?" ”

The young man named Zhou Qing arched his hand to him and said, "I can't compare with Brother Tang, I was promoted to the head of the household department so quickly, and I am a little supervising the imperial history, so it is nothing......"

Tang Jing shook his head and said, "You and I are just in different positions, we are officials in the same dynasty, and we both serve Your Majesty, so how can there be any superiority or inferiority?" ”

Although Zhou Qing nodded in agreement, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The two of them were Jinshi in the same year, and now Tang Jing has been promoted to the head of the household department, and he was ranked at the bottom of the second list back then, and he didn't even make up for a seven-grade county order, if it weren't for some connections in the court, I am afraid that he wouldn't even be able to wait for the errand of Yushitai.

The Tang family is high, and they can't be compared after all.

The two walked somewhere, and suddenly there was a commotion in front of them, Tang Jing looked up and said in surprise: "This is in front of the criminal department, who dares to make trouble here, Brother Zhou, we might as well go and have a look?" ”

Zhou Qing was actually not interested in the riot ahead, but Tang Jing opened his mouth and had to walk with him.

Walked closer, only to find an old man kneeling on the ground, there seemed to be handwriting on the rags in front of him, Tang Jing got closer to see, after a while, shook his head and said: "Jingbian Hou is too disagreeable, not to mention the encroachment on the people's land, but also connived at the people to beat the people, this old man was occupied by the Jingbian Hou Mansion to occupy the field, killed his son, and had nowhere to redress his grievances, so he knelt at the entrance of the criminal department and asked for justice." ”

"Is that so?" Zhou Qing is the imperial history, although he is not of enough grade in the imperial history, and he does not even have the qualifications of the previous dynasty, but he also has the responsibility of supervising the powerful officials in Beijing.

Tang Ning looked at him, shook his head and said: "Although Brother Zhou is the imperial history, the Marquis of Jingbian is not an idle person, this kind of thing, Brother Zhou still hides a little." ”

Zhou Qing frowned and said, "As an imperial historian, if you are afraid of the powerful, how can you be worthy of the official hat on your head?" ”

He has been sitting in the position of supervising the imperial history for a long time, if he has always performed mediocre, and if he takes a step forward, he doesn't know how long he will have to survive, and the imperial history who is unwilling to offend people will not be promoted.

He glanced at the old man and said, "I will hand over the fold tomorrow and impeach Jingbianhou!" ”

Tang Jing arched his hand to him and said, "Brother Zhou is righteous, Tang admires it." ”

After the two left, the old man put away the rags in front of him, walked to an alley, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what should the little old man do next?" ”

A voice in front of him said: "You don't have to do anything, just stay at home honestly, when the time comes, the court will give you justice." ”

The old man knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his head, and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, sir!" ”

……

Shangshu Province.

Shangshu Province is in charge of documents, the province reads the chapter, is the most confidential department in the three provinces, whether it is from the local or Beijing official offices handed over, most of them have to go through the Shangshu Province, sorted out and classified, handed over to the two prime ministers for review, some of the confidential, will be presented to the Son of Heaven.

Even today, when he is extremely diligent, the pieces that are reviewed by hand only account for a very small part of all the movements.

And the recitals handled by the two prime ministers, before they are reviewed, they also have to go through the screening of the left and right Shiro to screen out the irrelevant content.

In Shangshu Province, Zheng Dong in Zuo Shilang was not only responsible for various matters of the Ministry of Officials, Household Department, and Ministry of Rites, but also acted as the prime minister's deputy and dealt with those less important excerpts.

This errand is actually not very important, because the major matters in the six departments are generally directly reported to the Son of Heaven by the Shangshu and Shilang of each department, and the same is true for other departments, even if it is a wrong screening, it will not delay the major event.

Most of these excerpts are the merits of officials, appointments, transfers, impeachments, and so on......

What he is holding in his hand at this moment is to supervise the case of Zhou Qing of the Imperial History of the impeachment of the Jingbian Marquis for the encroachment of the people's land, the Imperial History has the authority to hear about the matter, and there is no need to be responsible for what is said, the excerpt is handed to Shangshu Province, some will send someone down to check the authenticity, and some will abandon it, Zheng Dong glanced at the content of the excerpt, and threw it aside.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the Marquis of Jingbian is loyal to King Kang, he naturally can't push it out, but he needs to be reminded that he has been targeted by the imperial history and needs to deal with some things from beginning to end.

A mansion somewhere in Beijing.

Zhou Qing lowered his head to eat, there was no news about the excerpt he handed over two days ago, and he was a little absent-minded in his heart.

An old man on the opposite side looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, isn't there something difficult going on?" ”

When Zhou Qing heard this, he immediately put down his chopsticks, arched his hand, and said: "Back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law learned two days ago that the Marquis of Jingbian made a decision to occupy people's houses and connived at his subordinates to kill the people with a cane, so he immediately handed over the fold of impeachment, but when this fold entered Shangshu Province, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no more sound. ”

The old man lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, and said: "Jingbian Hou is a person from King Kang, and Zuo Shilang in Shangshu Province is also a person from King Kang. ”

Zhou Qing was stunned and asked, "Is it so that you want to connive at Jingbian Hou as evil?" ”

The old man looked at him and asked, "Is it true that the Marquis of Jingbian invaded people's houses and injured people's lives?" ”

Zhou Qing hurriedly said: "The son-in-law has already checked, it is true, the new mansion built by the Jingbian Marquis Mansion has started a few days ago. ”

"I see." The old man nodded and said, "Tomorrow in the court, the old man will personally explain this matter to His Majesty." ”

Zhou Qing immediately bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

……

The early dynasty is not every day, counted, almost once every three days, if there is an accident, it will be notified separately, over the years, the hundred officials have long been accustomed to this law.

Today's morning dynasty is not much different from the past.

The marriage between Princess Pingyang and the State of Chu has almost been finalized in recent days, and it only needs to be announced on a date chosen by His Majesty, and there is no need to discuss it separately.

However, when King Kang asked for the prince of Changning County, the envoys of Chu State have not been able to give any response, and I am afraid that the imperial court will send envoys to Chu State like them.

Today's morning court lasted only about a quarter of an hour, and then no one played.

Wei Jian looked down, took two steps forward, and asked, "Your Excellency, you still have something to do, if you have nothing to do, then retreat." ”

"The minister has his own music." An old voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

Baiguan looked at the servant Shi Shenzheng who came out, and secretly guessed in his heart that he could let the servant Shi stand up, this time, I am afraid that someone will be unlucky.

The old man stepped forward, bowed down and said, "The minister impeached the Jingbian Marquis for encroaching on the people's land, conniving at his subordinates, and killing the people with a rod......"

In the crowd, when Zheng Dong heard this, his heart immediately rose.

King Kang stood at the front, his face slightly embarrassed.

But that's not the beginning.

As soon as Shi Shenzheng's voice fell, someone came out of the queue, hugged the wat board, and said loudly: "The minister impeached the Marquis of Yanping, the son committed murder, and his son Chen Zhao robbed the people's daughters and set fire to kill people......"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and more people came out.

"The minister impeached the ...... of the Marquis of Changxing"

"Minister impeached Yongchuan Bo......"

"Ministers impeached the ...... of Ningbo"

……

"The minister impeached Xu Cheng, the servant of the Criminal Department, for abusing power for personal gain, and disregarding people's lives......"

Everyone seemed to have made an appointment, since the servant Yushi stood up, from Jingbian Marquis, to the criminal department of the waiter, they spoke clearly, organized, one by one the charges were orderly, in less than a quarter of an hour, more than ten powerful officials were impeached.

More than half of the hundred officials were stunned in place.

If a single person is impeached, they will not be so surprised at all, but more than a dozen people have been impeached in a row, and all the charges are serious crimes of murder and arson.

And these people, more or less, all have some kind of connection with King Kang.

This was a premeditated, impeachment against King Kang.

At the front of the crowd, King Kang's face had changed from gloomy to a little pale.

……

"It's about the same, right?" After taking a few days off because of a back injury, there was no need to go to the criminal department, Tang Ning lay on the grass in the courtyard, pillowed his hands behind his head, looked at the blue sky, and muttered.

Tang Xiaoyao jumped down from the wall and asked, "What is almost?" ”

Tang Ning subconsciously covered his waist, since the last time she was ridden from behind and twisted to his waist when he struggled, every time he saw her, he would feel a faint pain in the position of his lower back......
