Although I don't know what Xuan Shijing wants to do with the money, the money pile still nodded and agreed, what his little marquis said and did is generally not wrong, just like the little marquis let himself tun the land of Chang'an City more than ten years ago.

After chatting for a long time with the money in the room about the current business of the Hou Mansion, Xuan Shijing left Shangpinfang and returned to the Hou Mansion in a carriage, he will not be asking about business matters for a while, and now his main energy will be on the matter of the Ministry of War, as the saying goes, the iron should be struck while it is hot, and when the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is over, this matter will be put on the table again, and it will inevitably be said that it is a reckoning after the autumn.

Early the next morning, Xuan Shijing and Long'er went out at the same time, Xuan Shijing rode a horse to Dali Temple, and Long'er went to Guozijian.

When he arrived at Dali Temple, Xuan Shijing went directly to the hall where Dai Zhou was located in the back, and on the first day of taking office, he naturally wanted to meet his boss.

"Xiaguan has seen my lord." Xuan Shijing bowed his hand to Dai Guan, whether it was from the title or official position, Dai Zhou was one level older than Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing was the marquis, and Dai Zhou was the county duke.

"Xuanhou doesn't have to be so polite, the official heard that Xuanhou was slightly ill yesterday, and I don't know how he recovered." Dai Xuan put down the file in his hand, got up and walked to Xuan Shijing's side and asked.

"Lord Xie cares, the lower official's body is no longer in trouble, so I will come to Dali Temple to take office today, I hope your Excellency will bear with me if I am rude." Xuan Shijing arched his hand and said, yesterday was the day he took office, but he missed the time because of a fever in the morning, and accompanied Li Tai and Jinyang to go shopping in the afternoon, Xuan Shijing's approach, in terms of officialdom, is indeed extremely rude, as the saying goes, the official is a big man who crushes people to death, Xuan Shijing still understands, not to mention that in the future in this Dali Temple, there are still many places to deal with Dai Guan, so Xuan Shijing is very polite to Dai Zhou.

"Xuanhou's body is fine, I will instruct the master book, take you to familiarize yourself with various things, Dali Temple does not need to deal with Xuanhou on weekdays, and it is not difficult to learn." Dai Xuan said, after speaking, he took Xuan Shijing to the room where the main book was located, and found a master book for Xuan Shijing, and in the future, this master book will always work under Xuan Shijing, responsible for taking charge of his seals, recording books, etc.

"Xuanhou, please come with the lower officials." The master book led Xuan Shijing around the Dali Temple, and introduced him to the layout of the Dali Temple and some important places, including the library for all kinds of files and the prison for the prisoners.

"Your Excellency's surname?" Xuan Shijing asked, in the future, this person will be his own master book, and he can't even know the name of the person.

"Hui Xuanhou, the official surname is Yuan, and the cursive characters are broad." The master bookkeeper replied respectfully.

"Oh, Lord Yuan, you have been in this Dali Temple for many years."

"If you think about it, it's been seven or eight years." Yuan Kuo said.

"There's something I want to ask Lord Yuan about below." Xuan Shijing stopped and faced Yuan Kuo.

"Xuanhou, please speak, the lower officials will know everything."

"Dali Temple can have military information?" Xuan Shijing asked lightly.

When Yuan Kuo heard this, he sighed in his heart, this Dongshan Hou is very dignified and wants the information of the military department, although he is curious in his heart, but he still arches his hand and says: "Naturally, there are, the six departments of the imperial court, including the thirteen provinces of the country, have been filed in Dali Temple for easy inquiry, but if the Hou Ye wants detailed official information, then he has to go to the Ministry of Officials." Yuan Kuo's tone was full of the word official.

Also, the Ministry of Officials is the place in charge of the information of officials, including their evaluations and job transfers, which are specially recorded in detail.

"That's it, Lord Yuan, take me to see the information of the Ministry of War." Xuan Shijing said, he plans to take a look at Dali Temple first, and then go to the ministry, the identity of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is still useful in this regard, the whole Tang Dynasty people know that the people of Dali Temple are out to investigate the case, as for what case is investigated, whether to say it or not, it is naturally also the meaning of Dali Temple, so Xuan Shijing plans to go to the Ministry of Officials in the name of investigating the case.

Xuan Shijing's actions must not be hidden from Sun Yaoting, and the only way now is to move quickly, before Sun Yaoting reacts, find all the things that Xuan Shijing wants to know, and break it with one blow.

"Okay, Xuanhou here, please." Yuan Kuo took Xuan Shijing to the room where the six dossiers were stored in Dali Temple, pushed open the door, and invited Xuan Shijing in.

The room is lined with rows of bookshelves, and next to them are wooden signs with bibliographies written on them for easy reference.

followed Yuan Kuo to a row of bookshelves, stopped, and Xuan Shijing saw the wooden sign hanging next to the bookshelf, on which only the word "Ministry of War" was written.

"Xuanhou, this is all the information of the Ministry of War, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it is all here, you see" Yuan Kuo looked at Xuan Shijing.

"I'll just look at it here myself, Lord Yuan can go and get busy first." Xuan Shijing said.

"Since this is the case, then the lower official will retire first, if Xuanhou has any needs, just send someone to inform the lower official." Yuan Kuo arched his hand and said.

"Well, Master Yuan walks slowly." Xuan Shijing returned the salute.

After Yuan Kuo came out of the room, Xuan Shijing looked at the shelf, there were a lot of things on it, but if it was like what Yuan Kuo said, these materials were from the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, the amount would be a little less.

Xuan Shijing was suspicious of Sun Yaoting and suspected that he had a relationship with Li Yuanjing, so in order to find out about this matter, Xuan Shijing had to start from the information in the Wude period, because all kinds of signs showed that Li Yuanjing had been planning for himself since Li Yuan's reign.

Finding one or two booklets of the Ministry of War about the appointment of officials, Xuan Shijing began to look through them, as for the other materials of the Ministry of War, they were all insignificant to Xuan Shijing.

The official system of the six departments of the imperial court is the same, with one Shangshu, two waiters, two Langzhong, two Wailang, three divisions of the staff, driving department, and treasury department, each with one Langzhong, one Wailang, and two principals.

From the Wude period to the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, almost all the officials of the military department have changed twice, and the information recorded in the Dali Temple only indicates the names of the officials who have been replaced, and the detailed information about them is not mentioned a word.

Yuan Kuo is right, if you want to check Sun Yaoting, you really have to go to the Ministry of Officials.

Putting the file in his hand back on the bookshelf, Xuan Shijing thought about it, although he said that his direction was clear, but if he really started from the information, I am afraid that the things found out are also limited, it is better to reverse the investigation, starting from Sun Yaoting, and the information on his side is just as an auxiliary.

After figuring out this, Xuan Shijing probably understood some ideas, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and left the room where the six materials were stored.
