Zhao Junsheng looked at Cheng Wei Zhengye in the imperial history and said, "It is my order to let the Imperial City Division investigate this case!" Wei Zhengye, do you know why I asked the Imperial City Division to investigate this case? ”

Wei Zhengye's face was embarrassed, he was silent for a while, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that there has been such a large-scale, large-scale, and long-term corruption case, and the Yushitai is not in place in terms of supervision, but this does not mean that the Yushitai is all rotten and useless, and the minister has not been in office for a long time, but the minister believes that most of the officials of the Yushitai are still loyal to their duties, loyal to Your Majesty and the court!"

Let the Imperial City Division investigate this case, and the minister asks His Majesty to let Yushitai participate in the investigation of this case, even if there is a problem within Yushitai, I hope that Your Majesty will give Yushitai a chance to self-investigate! ”

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment, "It's not that I don't believe in Yushitai, it's not that I don't believe you, there was such a big case of embezzlement of ink, the time span is nearly ten years, and I didn't even hear the slightest rumor, which shows how derelict your Yushitai is!" Maybe it's not the dereliction of duty of the officials of your Imperial Tower, but the dereliction of duty and the violation of the law!

In order for the investigation of the case to proceed smoothly, and not to make it difficult for you, and at the same time you have to avoid suspicion yourself, this case will not bother Yushitai, you just have to cooperate with the investigation! ”

"Obey the order!" Wei Zhengye said with a gloomy expression and stepped aside.

Zhao Junsheng got up and said, "That's all for today's court meeting!" After saying that, he pulled Mulan and left.

The eunuch shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The ministers bowed down in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty and Niangniang!" ”

Although the official lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival was not held, the people of Chang'an City spontaneously displayed all kinds of lanterns, and from the eighth day of the first lunar month, there were people selling lanterns in Chang'an City.

The Lantern Festival is also the best time for merchants to engage in commercial activities, set up a stall in front of the store, hang up a lot of lanterns and anagrams, guess the word puzzles, guess the lanterns, in order to attract popularity, increase customer flow, at this time the merchants know that the activities are promoted, it is not simple.

There is a Tianxing Tower in Chang'an City, which is the tallest landmark building in Chang'an City, and it has only been built in the last two years, and it was officially built for the purpose of holding major events in the city.

Tianxing Tower has a special person to manage on weekdays, and it is usually open to the people, and the people are allowed to climb the Tianxing Tower to visit, but each person needs to pay a sightseeing fee of 50 yuan, which is used for the salary of the management personnel and the daily maintenance of the Tianxing Tower.

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, early in the morning, the soldiers of the forbidden army closed the Tianxing Tower, and did not allow idle people to approach, and the forbidden army conducted a detailed inspection of each floor of the Tianxing Tower to ensure internal security.

At night, Zhao Junsheng's family came to Tianxing Tower and walked to the top floor to watch the scenery.

Zhao Junsheng smiled at Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong and said, "I want to see what the people can make this Shangyuan Festival lantern look like without an official organization!" ”

Hua Mulan smiled: "Don't underestimate the enthusiasm of the people! ”

In order to ensure that the law and order environment remained stable for a long time, the Daqian Dynasty abolished the curfew system, which was a good thing for many people, who had entertainment in the evening, instead of having to sleep when it was dark.

The sky gradually darkened, and the streets and alleys in Chang'an City began to be lit up with lanterns.

"Look, there are more and more people on the streets!" Wan Yutong pointed to the street in front of Suzaku Street and said.

As night falls, the streets are lit up with lanterns, and the number of pedestrians on the streets increases, and many lanterns hang in front of every shop and house.

The streets are crowded with people, so it's not lively.

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums, and I saw a lion dance team coming from an alley to the street in the sound of gongs and drums.

There is a large open space in the West Market, at this time a towering shelf has already been erected on the open space, the top of the shelf is placed with a hydrangea, and the hydrangea is placed in the gift bag, this is a lion dance conference held by the merchants of the West Market in Chang'an County collectively raising funds, each lion dance team wants to climb to the top of the big wooden frame, and the lion dance team that arrives first will get the gift package if they snatch the hydrangea.

Soon, several times in succession, the lion dance team went from all directions to the direction of Xishi, and the strong men of the lion dance team danced the lion head in the sound of gongs and drums, using their hands and feet together, causing the people to applaud and cheer.

Mulan smiled: "It's fun!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "It's more fun to grab hydrangeas later!" ”

When several lion dancers climbed the big wooden frame, many strong men immediately brought thick soft cushions and laid them under the shelves, so as to prevent any lion dancers from falling to their deaths.

After the lion dancers climbed on the wooden support, they began to fight with each other, and all the lion dancers fought for the hydrangea to get the gift bag.

Wan Yutong saw the lion dancers fighting fiercely on the wooden frame, and even two people fell from a height, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah! They won't fall to their deaths, will they? ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "No, there are thick cushions underneath, and those lion dancers are all people with martial arts, and when they fall, they will find a way to unload the impact, and at most they will suffer some minor injuries!" Besides, they are all lion dance teams hired by the merchants in the West Market, and even if they are injured, the merchants will give money to treat the injuries! ”

Wan Yutong patted his chest: "It's okay, it's just that it's not good to be injured on the Shangyuan Festival!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Every year on the Shangyuan Festival, there are lion dances competing for hydrangeas, but few are really injured, do you think their fights on it are real?" That's for the audience to see, just to make a show! The following protective measures are also very well done, even if they fall, they are deliberately arranged, in order to attract the attention of the people, attract more people to watch, and achieve the purpose of promoting their business name, in fact, good protection measures have been done in advance! ”

Wan Yutong couldn't help but say: "It turns out that there are so many mysteries here, and those merchants are really painstaking!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Do you see that the back of those lion dances says so-and-so business name?" ”

Wan Yutong took a closer look and smiled: "It's true!" ”

After a while, a lion dance climbed to the top and bit off the hydrangea with the lion's head, the hydrangea burst open, and a long one hung down, with the words "Chang'an Cloth Wishes all the fathers and elders a good health ······ Shangyuan"

When the people saw such a show, they were thunderous with joy, and they also remembered the name of Chang'an Fabric, and the name of Chang'an Fabric was also known by more people, and its fame spread.

In another place, a high platform was set up in front of a flower building, on the high platform, a beautiful woman in a white gauze dress was singing a tactful and joyful poem to the accompaniment of musical instruments, the content of the poem was to praise the prosperity of the Great Qian, which attracted a dense crowd to watch, and the scene burst of joy and thunder.

Zhao Junsheng was talking with Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong, and a few children next to him pointed to the celebration scene in the distance and looked very excited, and they couldn't help jumping up and applauding when they saw the joy.

There are too many people on the street, and if these princes and princesses go down to have fun with the people, it will bring a lot of pressure to the guards' guard tasks, so Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan don't let them go down to play, and these princes and princesses can only stay on the Tianxing Tower.

In the middle of the night, the enthusiasm of the people was still undiminished, but Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, Wan Yutong and others couldn't stay any longer, and returned to the palace with the children.

After the three-day holiday of the lively Shangyuan Festival, the yamen of the imperial court also began to deal with official business.

Early in the morning, Zhao Ping first came to the Imperial City Sidianmao, and he found Si Cheng He Yong and asked, "Have you found any clues by staring at Zou Ruhai these days?" ”

He Yong shook his head and said: "I've been staring at it for almost two months, and I haven't found the slightest useful clue!" ”

Zhao Ping frowned and said, "Could it be that our understanding and inference are wrong?" Cui Yanze said before he died that the person's name was not Zou Ruhai? ”

He Yong hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Ping: "Your Highness, if you want to verify whether it is Zou Ruhai, your subordinates think that you can test it, or come to lure the snake out of the hole!" ”

Zhao Ping asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

He Yong pondered for a while, he walked to Zhao Ping's side and whispered in his ear, Zhao Ping thought about it after listening to it, nodded and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

Zhao Ping arranged the affairs of the Imperial City Division, and then went to the Criminal Department to be on duty, he is now also the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department has many affairs, so he must go over in person.

In the afternoon, a knight came to the gate of the Imperial City Division, the knight jumped off the horse and showed his waist card to be released, and he came to Si Cheng He Yong's class room to report: "Si Cheng, the brothers found clues when they searched Cui Yanze's mansion again!" ”

He Yong got up suddenly, "What did you find?" ”

"It's an account book, on which is written Cui Yanze's filial piety to some ministers in the court, when and where, and how much, every stroke is clearly remembered!"

He Yong was overjoyed and immediately said, "Bring it quickly!" ”

The knight took off the burden from behind his back, opened it, took out an account book from it and handed it over, He Yong took it and opened it and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and his face became more and more solemn.

"You go down and rest first!"

"No!"

He Yong closed the account book and walked around the class room, he walked back and forth a few times and stood still and shouted: "Come on, prepare the carriage and horses!" ”

After a while, the entourage walked in and reported: "Yu Sicheng, the carriage and horses are ready outside the door!" ”

He Yong put the account book in his big sleeve, walked out, and got into a carriage in front of the gate and went straight to the criminal department.

When he arrived at the Criminal Department, after being reported, He Yong was led to Zhao Ping's room.

The little official reported to Zhao Pingyu: "Your Highness, He Sicheng has arrived!" ”

"My subordinates have seen Your Highness!" He Yong walked into the class room and saluted Zhao Ping, who was processing the official documents.

Zhao Ping was quite surprised and asked, "He Yong, what did you find here?" Why didn't this king say it when he was arranging official business in the Imperial City Division just now? ”
