At night, a carriage came and stopped in front of the door of the Yan Mansion at a rapid pace, Du Mei walked out of the carriage and stood in front of the steps, his entourage walked up the steps quickly and said a few words to the porter, after a while, the side door opened, and the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion respectfully invited Du Mei into the house.

Walking into Yan Jiudu's study, Du Mei put a report on the table and said with a smile: "As Brother Jiudu guessed, the leakage of Zuozang's secrets was indeed caused by Pei Jia bringing the fold back to the house for review. ”

Yan Jiudu was overjoyed, and praised with a thumbs up: "Ziping is such a powerful subordinate, he got the information so quickly, he really deserves to be the Secretary of Internal Affairs." ”

"It's easy to succeed if you have a clear goal." Du Mei pushed the report to him, "Brother Nine Degrees take a look!" ”

Yan Jiudu invited Du Mei to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea, then opened the report, the incident happened last night, Pei Jia took a batch of notes back to the mansion to review without authorization, including Zhang Yanxian's secret notes on Zuozang's money, in the process of review, he asked his concubine to read it for him on a whim, and as a result, his concubine told his brother that night that the court was secretly storing gold and silver, and his brother ran a teahouse in Dongshi, and soon spread the news and quickly spread throughout the city.

After looking at it, Yan Jiudu closed the report and said coldly: "It is already illegal to bring the secret book back to the house without authorization, and it is also allowed to be seen by the family privately, which has led to the leakage of major secrets, and this crime cannot be forgiven." ”

He pushed the report to Du Mei again, "This impeachment chapter will be written by Ziping!" ”

Du Mei pushed the report back with a smile, "Okay, I'll help you this time, how can Brother Jiudu not believe what he says?" ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey! Then I will thank Brother Ziping for giving in. Yan Jiudu stood up and saluted, then he picked up the report and said categorically: "I will write an impeachment seal now and send it to Your Majesty overnight." ”

More than half a month of imperial life has made Zhang Huan gradually adapt to the rhythm, he goes to the imperial study every day and no longer spends all his time on reviewing the recitals, meeting with important ministers, mobilizing the army, personnel changes, amnesty to the world, xt He is extremely busy every day, only has time to stay with his family during dinner, and then continues to go to the Lin De Hall to review the recitals, and since he talked with him more than half a month ago, he ordered the monitoring office to destroy all the files on the assassin case, and no one was allowed to mention the matter again. The case seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

After approving some undisputed recitals, he ordered the little eunuch to send them out of the palace overnight and handed them over to the scholars on duty, so that the decree could be drafted and issued early the next morning

The light in the study of Lin De Hall is soft, and Zhang Huanzheng can be seen pacing with his head down from the screen window. From time to time, he sat down again and worked hard to write, and Zhang Huan had been busy for almost half an hour at this moment.

There were still two stacks of high folds on the table in the study that had not been approved, and at this time, the two little eunuchs on duty hurriedly walked into the study with the fold box, which was the third fold sent by the Zhongshu Province today.

"Your Majesty. The evening ground folded. The eunuch An Zhongshun handed over the folded catalog, and Zhang Huan took a sip of tea. Only then did he pick up the fold catalogue and take a closer look, he first habitually glanced at the total number in the lower right corner of the catalogue, a total of one hundred and twenty-six, one more than yesterday, but this is only the third fold today, to the morning and noon has been sent once, especially at noon, almost all of them are more than 200 pieces, Zhang Huan has to review nearly 400 pieces of folds every day. There are also a large number of submissions in the four places, and he is really a little overwhelmed before the Hanlin Academy is officially established.

It stands to reason that many of the folds do not have to be sent to him for personal approval, Datang has always had a complete and strict reporting and review system for a hundred years, and the major matters reported by various localities and departments must be examined and approved at various levels, generally through the Shangshu Province to the Menxia Province, and then submitted to the Zhongshu Province to petition the emperor for approval after the Menxia Province reviewed and approved, if the matter is not big, it can also be directly approved by the Zhongshu Province, xt but the Zhongshu Province must also be submitted to the Menxia Province for review before it can be issued. This kind of reporting system is actually a concrete manifestation of a power monitoring system, which can be seen from this system. In fact, the emperor is quite passive, and the decision to report or not is decided by the Zhongshu Province, and many things the emperor does not know, of course, in order to prevent major events from being concealed, the imperial history platform was specially set up to impeach officials who were derelict in their duties.

At the beginning of Zhang Huan's strong ascension to the throne, Xiangguo's power was relatively weak, and Pei You did not dare to make decisions about many things, so he simply reported all the big and small things to Zhang Huan, which made him overwhelmed.

The catalogue was drafted by Han Yu, a member of the Zhongshu House, and was considered very carefully, classified according to the six parts one by one, Zhang Huan signed it on the vice couplet, and the little eunuch returned it to the Zhongshu Province.

One hundred and twenty-six books were neatly stacked into three stacks and placed on a small table next to it, Zhang Huan glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that he is going to stay up late again today.

"Dongfang Aiqing, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish tonight, Aiqing should go back and rest early!"

In the small room next to him, the living room Lang Dongfang Yun has also sat down early, and after more than half a month of getting along day and night, the relationship between him and the emperor is quite harmonious, and when the emperor rests and eats snacks in the morning, he will order someone to send him a plate as well, but this does not mean that the emperor is interfering with his records, Dongfang Yun knows that this is actually a kind of concern for him from the emperor.

Although he worked very hard every day, his heart was very happy, and it was a great luck for a historian to be able to record the words and deeds of a diligent emperor.

Hearing that the emperor was going to stay up late again, Dongfang Yun was very moved, and he immediately said aloud: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister does not dare to derelict his duties, and is willing to accompany His Majesty to spend until dawn." ”

Zhang Huan also shook his head sympathetically here, it seems that he will discuss with Cui Yu tomorrow, xt

The two eunuchs had already coded the fold, and casually took out a fold from the box and presented it to Zhang Huan, "Your Majesty, this is the fold handed over by the Yushitai in the afternoon." ”

The excerpt of the Yushitai is presented directly to Zhang Huan, so it is not in Han Yu's catalog list, which is also the excerpt that Zhang Huan is most interested in, although it may not be available every day, but he looks forward to it every day, and today until now there is a copy. Zhang Huan immediately took it, and there was Du Mei's payment in the lower left corner of the fold, it seems that this must be what the monitoring room discovered?

Zhang Huan opened the recital with great interest, and the memorabilia told about an incident that happened this morning, Sun Jinfang, the commander of the military department, was half an hour late today, and was caught by Wu Yuanheng, a foreign officer, at the gate of the military department. Sun Jinfang's plea was rejected, and it happened that Pei Mingyao, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, was passing by here, so he interceded for Sun Jinfang as his uncle, but he was also rejected by Wu Yuanheng, and Pei Mingyao was annoyed and angry. not only insulted Wu Yuanheng, but also beat people, as a result, Wu Yuanheng was broken a rib, and shouted arrogantly in front of the military department, he is a dignified uncle

"!" Zhang Huan didn't finish reading it, so he slammed it out. The anger in his chest burned in an instant, and he hated most of all that someone relied on his connections to bully others. In the past, his family rules were strict, strictly prohibiting his family from running rampant in Longyou, and if anyone dared to commit a crime, he would be kicked out of the house directly, because there had never been such a precedent, and now he has been on the throne for less than a month, so things have happened, and it is Pei Mingyao, his brother-in-law who has always disliked.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" An Zhongshun, who was waiting on the side, had never seen Zhang Huan so angry, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down.

Zhang Huan slowly sat down. He strongly restrained his anger, he slowly realized that his identity was different from the past, his words and deeds would become a model for future generations, and his anger or even an emotional incident would cause a disaster in the Tang Dynasty, and his eyes fell on a word on the opposite wall: Shen Anger, that was a word given to him by Pei Ying's grandfather Yan Zhenqing back then, and he didn't take this advice to heart at that time, xt

"Pick it up for me!"

An Zhongshun saw that the emperor's anger had subsided somewhat, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the song. Put it back on top of the case. Zhang Huan once again opened the fold and looked at this matter from another perspective.

This time he was looking at Wu Yuanheng. He has almost forgotten that he asked Wu Yuanheng to be the supervisor of the military department, but he still performed his duties conscientiously, not hesitating to offend his superiors and powerful people, it was Pei Mingyao's ugliness that reflected Wu Yuanheng's loyalty, from this point he should also thank Pei Mingyao, it was he who let himself see a righteous person who can be used.

Zhang Huan mentioned the Zhu pen on Du Mei's impeachment chapter to write the four words of strict handling according to the rules, and put it aside, according to the Tang Dynasty system, Pei Mingyao insulted the court officials in the imperial city, and injured people, and was also suspected of obstructing official business, if Zhang Huan didn't ask, maybe the officials really couldn't see it in his identity as the uncle of the country, but now Zhang Huan directly asked, the officials will implement the accountability system to the letter, Pei Mingyao will be judged by the officials as immoral and favoritism, not only to be fined, but also to be demoted by one level, if the nature is serious, he will directly lose his office.

Zhang Huan had just put the matter down, and suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a small eunuch came in quickly to report: "Your Majesty, Yu Shi Yan Zhongcheng urgently asks to see you." ”

Zhang Huan was stunned, Yan Jiudu came to him so late, could it be that something big happened? Surprised, only in a thought, he immediately ordered: "Announce his audience!" ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Yan Jiudu hurriedly walked into Zhang Huan's inner study under the guidance of the little eunuch, bowed down and said, "Minister Yan Jiudu sees Your Majesty!" ”

Yan Jiudu is Pei Ying's uncle and Zhang Huan's elder, Zhang Huan smiled and said to him with Yan Yuese: "Yan Zhongcheng came to me so late, but what happened?" ”

"xt" Yan Jiudu took out the impeachment chapter and said loudly: "Pei Jia took the secret music back to the palace for approval without authorization, and read it to the concubine in private, which led to the leakage of major secrets of the imperial court, and now it has caused serious consequences. ”

After that, he held up the impeachment seal and handed it over with both hands, and the little eunuch took it and forwarded it to Zhang Huan, and it was the Pei family again! Without waiting to look at the excerpts, Zhang Huan's face had already turned cold.

He opened the impeachment seal without saying a word, looked through it carefully, his face became more and more gloomy, his eyes seemed to be frozen with frost, not to mention that Pei Jia had leaked major secrets, which would seriously damage his plan to issue treasure money, and he hated it just by taking the performance back to the house without authorization, one was late or absent for no reason, and the other was returned home with official documents to deal with, both of which were two officialdom vices left by Pei Jun when he was in power in the past, and they were likely to cause black-box operations, which he must not tolerate. On the third day after he landed on the base, he announced that he would strictly enforce the imperial discipline, and now it has only been more than half a month that Pei Jia has committed a crime against the wind, and it cannot be said that he did it on purpose. It should be said that Pei Jia didn't take his Zhang Huan's holy oracle seriously at all.

"Is this true? Is there any definite evidence for the meaning of the land? Zhang Huan asked coldly.

Yan Jiudu had already felt Zhang Huan's attention to this matter, he was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, with the help of the power of the Supervision Office, the minister has found out that the source of the leakage of secrets is Chen Shilang, the younger brother of Pei Jia's concubine, and he is currently controlled by the Supervision Office. Conclusive. ”

"Well done!" Zhang Huan nodded, "I already know about this matter, and I will deal with this matter again tomorrow morning, Yan Zhongcheng has worked hard." ”

Zhang Huan casually took a jade pixiu paperweight on the imperial case, handed it to Yan Jiudu and said, "I will reward you with this jade pixiu paperweight." ”

Yan Jiudu was shocked. Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this is a matter within the minister's duty, and I dare to be rewarded!" ”

"I know that what I appreciate is not the incident itself, but your selfless spirit of not being afraid of the powerful. I am rewarding you for this, and I hope you will be like this Pixiu. For me to suppress the evil spirit of the court. ”

Yan Jiudu's nose was sour, he knelt down slowly, took the jade pixiu rewarded by Zhang Huan with both hands, and said in a choked voice: "The minister will never live up to His Majesty's holy grace!" ”

The lights in the imperial study of the Lin De Hall were on all night, and Zhang Huan's figure appeared on the screen window from time to time, sometimes he lowered his head and groaned, sometimes raised his head and thought for a long time, until the eastern sky showed a trace of greenness, he finally reviewed all the folds, and took a nap at the desk for half an hour.

When a ray of colorful glow is reflected in the east window. The old eunuch Zhu Guanghui had to wake him up, "Your Majesty, the time has come, and you should prepare to go to court." ”

Zhang Huan's eyes were bloodshot, he stretched out tiredly, and asked, "Does the queen have anything to say to me?" ”

"The queen mother does have something to say to the old slave to bring to Your Majesty, she hopes that Your Majesty can cherish her body and come a long way."

"I see." Zhang Huan suddenly remembered something again, and he immediately walked quickly to the next room. Push open a crack in the door. I saw Dongfang Yun lying on the ground with his head up, his waist twisted obliquely, and he was still holding a pen in one hand. The mouth opened widely, revealing a pair of yellow and clear teeth, as if it were a statue.

Zhang Huan shook his head with a smile, slowly closed the door again, and turned around and instructed An Zhongshun: "Let him sleep for a while, and then he will be sent to the imperial study in the middle of the carriage." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister is out of the way." There was a little movement in the room, and Dongfang Yun had already woken up.

Soon, several palace maids called for washing water, and it was still early today, so Zhang Huan freshened up a little in the study, changed his clothes, and then took a car to Zichen Pavilion, and Dongfang Yun also followed behind in another hitchhiker.

Zhang Huan in the carriage was eating snacks, while once again carefully looking at Yan Jiudu's impeachment chapter, it should be said that it is not yet the time to make a big move on the Pei family, his throne is not yet solid, and many things still rely on the full support of the Pei family, but Pei Jia took the music back to the house for approval without authorization, resulting in the leakage of court secrets, and this matter must be severely punished, and this matter must be resolutely stopped from happening again, so how can you do both?

Zhang Huan opened the curtain, a fresh wind rushed in his face, he suddenly remembered Pei Mingyuan, he should return, and his return means that the battle between the head of the Pei family is about to heat up.

Zhang Huan folded the music, closed his eyes and lay on the cushion, thinking about the ancient story of the crane and clam fighting each other in his mind.

Entering the imperial study, An Zhongshun was arranging for a few little eunuchs to prepare to send Zhang Huan's approval last night to Zhongshu Province, Zhang Huan immediately called him up, "You go to Zhongshu Province and give this to Pei Xiangguo for me." ”

Zhang Huan handed over Yan Jiudu's impeachment seal and instructed him: "Remember, it must be handed over to him, and tell him directly that I gave it to him." “

An Zhongshun agreed, took the fold and was about to leave, when Zhang Huan suddenly stopped him again, "When you come back, just give me the soldier Duan Xuan." ”

Duan Shengyun, the squire of the military department, is the son of Duan Xiushi, in the Li Mian group that was slaughtered this time, Duan Xiushi was the only one who was spared, Zhang Huannian pardoned him in the old relationship of the year, and did not investigate him for providing pro-soldiers, but at the same time dismissed him from the post of capital protector of Anbei and ordered him to recuperate in Beijing.

However, Zhang Huan still reused his two sons Duan Shengyun and Duan Zhiyun, Duan Shengyun was transferred from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of War, and Duan Zhiyun was promoted to the governor of Shazhou and the history of Dunhuang Thorn, leading 5,000 Doulu troops to garrison the border.

An Zhongshun received the emperor's dictation and hurriedly went, and there were more than 100 copies of Zhang Huan's imperial case on this matter, he had to smile bitterly, and just picked up a copy, at this time a little eunuch hurriedly ran to report, "Your Majesty, the former Prime Minister Cui Yuan is asking to see him outside the palace!" ”

(It is estimated that the name of June can not be written, Lao Gao can only cheer up, to fight for the top six monthly tickets in June, and plead with the monarchs for monthly tickets, today only got eight tickets a day, and the distance from the front is getting bigger and bigger, tears begging.) ）
