Chapter 1115: Servant of the Son of Heaven

Chang'an Mansion.

Chang'an Mansion Yin Changsun Wuji held his hands behind his back and paced back and forth between the bookcases.

In the corner of the public house, the water in the leaking copper kettle fell drop by drop, and the engraved arrows in the copper kettle indicated the current time.

The first three quarters.

The water leak clock in the eldest grandson Wuji's public house is very accurate, compared to the sundial to see the sun and the moondial to see the moon, the water leak clock is much more accurate. In particular, Dr. Li Chunfeng of the Taishi Bureau of the Imperial Court in the past divided the past twelve hours into the beginning and the beginning and the end, and there were twenty-four hours. There were 100 quarters in the previous day, but in addition to 12 inconveniences, it was adjusted to 96 quarters, eight quarters per hour, divided into four quarters up and down, and only four quarters in an hour.

At the third quarter of the first day (9:45 in the morning), this time is usually his time for morning tea, but today, he obviously has no interest in drinking morning tea.

Returning to the front of the case, he asked Zhang Jin, who was standing at the bottom of the record, "Zhang Lushi, what do you think of Zhang Tiegun?" ”

Zhang Jin stood there for a long time, Shangguan didn't let him go, and he couldn't go, so he could only silently calculate a few cases in his heart, and when he heard the eldest grandson Wuji's question, he couldn't help but say, "According to the file, Zhang Tiegun is a veteran of a hundred battles, maybe he is old, so he doesn't have any fame, just want to live in peace for the rest of his life." ”

Zhang Jin was born in a poor family, and he couldn't find a prominent person in the family for eight generations, and when he was young, he was an entourage to a large family, and he was fortunate to be a scholar to accompany him, so he was also considered to have read. Later, in the troubled times, he also joined the army, became a military scribe, and then was awarded an official position for merit, and step by step he also sat in the record of Chang'an Mansion to participate in the military.

He also cherishes this hard-won official position very much, and usually acts very cautiously, for fear of making mistakes.

Zhang Jin, who is already in his forties, does not have any big ambitions, he is very satisfied with the current state, and he has also carefully studied the case of Zhang Tiegun, after all, it was Shangguan who intervened.

The eldest grandson Wuji tapped his fingers on the table, "When this iron spear came to protect the children, the general Qin Qiong was just a small soldier under his command. Later, he served as a brigade commander under Yang Xuangan, a captain under Li Mi, a general under Wang Shichong, and finally a captain under Li Yuan, and then attached himself to my Daqin, and became the head of the team, which is really a legendary experience. ”

Others are getting bigger and bigger as they become officials, and this soldier has been fighting for decades, but when he is old, he is not as good as he was twenty years ago.

Zhang Jin replied with a forked hand, "According to the dossier, in the battle of Dafeichuan, Zhang Tiegun was a scout, several missions, and there were seven thieves who were cut off. ”

Zhang Tiegun Dafeichuan was blind in one eye, but if he wanted to, he could continue to stay in the army, but he still took the initiative to ask for retirement.

Zhang Jin couldn't understand why Zhang Tiegun insisted on retiring from the army, and even refused the reward.

The eldest grandson Wuji said, "Actually, I understand some of his thoughts, in fact, there are many people like Zhang Tiegun in the army, half a life in the army, nine deaths, half a lifetime of fighting, going around and around, rising and falling, official positions are no longer attractive to them, they are tired of war, tired of fighting, just want to live a few days of stable life, Zhang Tiegun was not only a subordinate team of Lai Hu'er in the previous dynasty, and even later accompanied Lai Hu'er to conquer Liao, and also served under the command of our emperor, it is said that he was already a brigade commander at that time. ”

He also didn't understand why Zhang Tiegun later went to Yang Xuangan's rebel army, if there was no such turn, Zhang Tiegun might be at least a founding marquis now.

No one knows how Zhang Tiegun's life fluctuated, but if you look at the file, you will find that Zhang Tiegun fought for half his life, but in the end he became a loner, he once had a wife and a concubine, and even a wealthy family with several children.

But later, he was alone.

The eldest grandson Wuji is very interested in Zhang Tiegun's background experience because this case is very critical, and even a typical case.

One is a veteran officer, the other is a famous old scholar, and upstarts like Qin Qiong are also involved, so this case must be handled.

"Zhang Lushi, do you know that at the beginning of this year, Your Majesty issued an edict to change the name of the Sanya soldiers from the past guards to attendants?"

Zhang Jin nodded, after all, he was also a military official.

In the previous dynasty, the government soldiers were all called guards, and later, the government soldiers who stayed on the guards of the Zhuwei Mansion were called guards, and they obeyed the Son of Heaven.

At the beginning of this year, the emperor issued an edict to call the soldiers of the three yas as attendants, which means to serve the Son of Heaven and defend the country.

The emperor showed that the soldiers of the three yas were all soldiers of the country and the servants of the emperor.

Even in the edict, the emperor clearly stipulated the status of these attendants, that is, they were equivalent to scholars.

The attendants are placed side by side with the scholars.

Soon after this edict was issued, the emperor issued another edict, which was about the conditions for the selection and recruitment of soldiers in the Sanya, stipulating that criminals, bad people, Hu people, and lowly people were not allowed to join the army and enlist.

The most important one is that after the three military officers make meritorious service, they will not only be rewarded with honors, but they can also obtain official status for meritorious service, and then enter the officialdom. This article changed the emperor's stipulation during the great cause of the Sui Dynasty that after the soldiers of the military government had made meritorious contributions, they could not be awarded official positions.

At that time, Yang Guang canceled the award of meritorious soldiers because he believed that soldiers could only fight and could not manage politics if they did not know how to be officials, but Luo Cheng believed that meritorious soldiers must retain their way to rise.

Illiterate and understand as an official? The imperial court can give them pre-employment training. Especially for most soldiers, even if they are promoted to officers, most of them still stay in the military system, and only a few outstanding people can be transferred to civilian positions.

Luo Cheng did not prohibit military attachés from being transferred to civilian positions, nor did he prohibit civilian to military attachés, as long as they had enough ability, they could be converted, and even military generals could also serve as prime ministers and auxiliary ministers, the key was ability.

"Your Majesty has repeatedly ordered that the status of the attendants and soldiers should be strengthened, especially the nobles, officials, etc. are strictly forbidden to drive the soldiers to serve as servants, and now the Cui family is actually going to murder the retired attendants for the sake of a prescription, how can this be allowed?"

Zhang Jin immediately understood.

"Xia Guan understands that this is a case against the wind and ignores the imperial edict. The lower officials must strictly examine this case and handle it as an ironclad case. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji instructed not only to complete the iron case, but also to complete the typical case.

And for Cui's, it is necessary to crack down severely. This case not only investigates Cui Cong, the steward of the Cui family, and his thugs, but also strictly investigates Cui Shanfu.

"The Cui family is so evil, I'm afraid that it has always done a lot of evil, Zhang Lushi, you send bad people to check the Cui family to see how many evils have not been found out, you must strictly investigate, and don't let it go at all."

"By the way, by taking advantage of this case, the entire Chang'an Mansion has also been investigated and dealt with one by one, and for those serving or retired officers, they must take the initiative to investigate and inquire to see if they have encountered bullying and other situations, and if so, they must take the initiative to help solve it in time."

Zhang Jin was secretly frightened.

Knowing that his young boss is afraid that he is going to take the opportunity to set off a big storm in more than 20 counties of Chang'an Mansion.

Isn't it said that it was to investigate the troubles encountered by the acolytes, but in fact it was aimed at the noble officials? After all, the status of the soldiers of Great Qin has always been very high, and ordinary people can't bully them.

"Whoa!" Zhang Jin forked his hand to receive the order.
