Early in the morning, Wei Yuanzhong got up early, washed and changed his clothes, and carefully checked his clothes and appearance, preparing to enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion on business.

Although it is only an eight-rank official, the "Imperial History" is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials in the world. Wei Yuanzhong has always believed that imperial history is a sacred public office.

If you want to be a good imperial historian, the first thing you need to do is to "forget yourself".

Forget your original identity and origin, forget your own safety and woe. The word "royal" represents the imperial court, His Majesty the Emperor, and the justice and strictness of the law.

Don't forget me, how can you make a royal history?

Today's trip to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion may be dangerous, and the situation will be very complicated. Wei Yuanzhong looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and kept hinting at himself in his heart: bold, careful, selfless, and impartial!

Forget your personal friendship with Pei Xingjian, Xue Shao and others, and forget the hatred of Li Xiantong and Wei Juyuan and others in your heart, everything is based on facts, and everything is impartial!

Guan Cheng brought breakfast, and after Wei Yuanzhong ate it, someone from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion really came to invite him, and it was Li Xiantong himself.

"Wei Yushi, long admired the great name!" Li Xiantong's face was still his signature smile, and he arched his hand, "When I was an official in Chang'an, I have long heard that Wei University scholars are rich and rich, and they are all proud and proud. See you today, it's comforting! ”

Wei Yuanzhong was already a student of Guozi Jian Tai before he was weak, and he was famous. Later, when the Tang Dynasty and Tubo went to war, Wei Yuanzhong made a special trip from Chang'an to Luoyang to find Emperor Li Zhi and wrote a secret letter, discussing some deficiencies and omissions in the use of generals and overall planning and scheduling of the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhi was quite amazed by his military talent, so he promoted Wei Yuanzhong to the secretary of the province, which is equivalent to the emperor's personal think tank. Soon after, the emperor found that Wei Yuanzhong was loyal, upright, and proficient in the law, so he promoted him to be the superintendent of the imperial history.

Li Xiantong praised Wei Yuanzhong in person as a "Wei scholar" and gave a lot of high praise, although it was suspected of flattering, but it was really not an exaggeration.

"General Li is overrated, and Yuan Zhong is ashamed." Wei Yuanzhong smiled in return. Although Li Xiantong is now only a Fa Cao joining the army, he used to be Zuo Fengchen's lieutenant general, and Wei Yuanzhong called him a general, which can be regarded as giving enough face.

"Wei Yushi, please!" Li Xiantong didn't say much, so he invited Wei Yuanzhong to get into the carriage.

The imperial historian of the imperial court came to inspect the work, which was equivalent to sending ministers. Li Xiantong didn't dare to slack off, and personally rode his horse to lead the way.

Wei Yuanzhong was unflustered, followed Li Xiantong into the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, and sat down in the main hall.

"Yushi sit down for a while, and I'll bring someone to meet you." Li Xiantong said.

"Okay." Wei Yuanzhong sat back and waited to see how he made a move.

After a while, Li Xiantong came with a person. As soon as Wei Yuanzhong saw that person, he was slightly taken aback - Li Duozuo?

"Don't hide the imperial history, a few days ago, I had already released General Li." Li Xiantong said, "I joined the army as the governor of the prefecture, and my responsibility lies in doing everything impartially. Wei Yushi had an inquiry, so he just spoke. General Li, if you have offended before, please forgive me! ”

"Don't dare to be." Li Duozuo replied coldly.

This move caught Wei Yuanzhong off guard. Originally, I wanted to use Li Duozuo's case as a breakthrough to investigate the internal situation of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Unexpectedly, Li Duozuo has been acquitted, how should this be?

With an idea, Wei Yuanzhong said: "Li joined the army, although the person was released, but since the matter has happened, then the official still has to understand the truth of the matter thoroughly." If you go back, you can report the details to Marshal Pei and Yushitai. This officer, can not be when it did not happen. Moreover, those guards who were imprisoned at the same time as General Li must also be seen in the main palace. The past and current situation of each of them must be investigated before the verdict can be made! ”

"That's easy to do." Li Xiantong said with a smile, "It's better to ask Yushi to discuss the record with General Li here, and I will go and invite all the guards who have also been released here to meet Yushi one by one." How is it? ”

"Very good." Wei Yuanzhong arched his hand, "There is Lao Li joining the army." ”

"Then I'll come when I go. Less accompaniment. Li Xiantong smiled slightly, bowed to Wei Yuanzhong and Li Duozuo, and left.

Wei Yuanzhong blinked his eyes a few times, and said in his heart that it seemed that Li Xiantong had long expected that someone would come to investigate the case, so he had already made preparations. Not only did Li Duozuo release in advance, but even those guards were released.

In this way, the case itself is already nothing to investigate. After all, military cases are different from civil cases, which emphasize motives, processes, and results, while military cases pay more attention to results.

The feelings between the soldiers are very deep, so any case involving the military should not be easily enlarged, so as not to affect the mood of the guards and the stability of the army.

"General Li, please be seated." Wei Yuanzhong said, "I am the marching Sima who supervises the discipline of the army under Marshal Pei, and the Imperial History Observatory supervises the imperial history. Now, I would like to ask you for more information about your imprisonment case. ”

"Hey, there's nothing more to say!" Li Duozuo sat down very depressed, gritted his teeth with thick eyebrows, and said, "That birdman got me to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, neither tied nor imprisoned, and sent people to serve me with good food and drink, but he didn't let me go." Just two words - house arrest! ”

Wei Yuanzhong frowned, "Then the state law Cao Ke once opened an interrogation case in the main hall to inquire about your case?" ”

"Ask a fart!" Li Duozuo and Wufu were full of anger, and said angrily, "It's just that I won't let me go out, and I haven't asked a word of!" ”

Wei Yuanzhong seemed to be clear in his heart. It seems that Li Xiantong doesn't really want to clean up Li Duozuo as a rectification object, and he doesn't even want to offend Li Duozuo too much. He took down Li Duozuo just to make a show, the purpose was just to force Xue Shao and lead Xue Shao into the trap!

Presumably, Li Xiantong would not really embarrass those hundreds of guards. He had been in the army for ten years, and he must have known very well what kind of bad repercussions the indiscriminate killing of soldiers would cause. This kind of stupid thing is definitely not something that Li Xiantong can do!

In this way, Li Duozuo's case did not cause any really serious consequences at all, and there was no way to investigate the march and horse incident, and the people who reported to the Yushitai would still think that it was a big fuss and would not accept it.

Wei Yuanzhong couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, Li Xiantong's methods were really clever and exquisite. As the governor of the prefecture, Fa Cao joined the army, and when he heard about the case of "desertion", he filed a case for investigation and sent people to ask questions, which were all things within his duties. In the case of Li Duozuo, Li Xiantong publicized it very exaggerated and serious, but in fact, it was handled calmly and carefully, so that people could not find any tricks and loopholes.

Later, Li Xiantong really came with two or three hundred guards. Li Duozuo also deliberately came out to identify it, that's right, although he can't know all those people, most of them are familiar, they are all defeated soldiers of the Shuo Dynasty who fled and came back with Xue Shao, and they are all wearing the military uniforms given to them by Li Duozuo.

Seeing Li Duozuo, these sergeants were also a little ashamed, thinking that they had caused Li Duozuo to be involved, so they pleaded guilty one after another.

Seeing this, Wei Yuanzhong seemed to be really untraceable to this case, and it was not good to chase and beat Li Xiantong with this little whip. Otherwise, there will be a suspicion of communiqué for personal vendetta and making a big fuss.

"Wei Yushi, this army has now ascertained all the origins, origins, and behaviors of these people before and after the First World War with the Turks. It is true that they have been deserters in the past, and they have also done some illegal things. But afterwards they had already repented and defended the people against the Turks. In accordance with the military law, it was judged that their merits and demerits were commensurate, so they were not to blame, rewarded or punished in the past, and ordered them to return to the army and serve under the command of Li Duozuo, the general of the Right Guard Xun's First Mansion. Li Xiantong said, "Does Wei Yushi think I handled it properly?" If not, can you be taught? ”

Wei Yuanzhong pondered for a moment with his eyebrows furrowed, "There's nothing wrong with that. ”

Li Xiantong smiled slightly, "What questions does Wei Yushi still have?" ”

Wei Yuanzhong wanted to say that I wanted to meet Li Chongyi. But now that the case is over, in what name should I ask to see Li Chongyi? If it can't be logical, it's easy to startle the snake!

That's it, take it when you see it, go back and discuss it with Xue Shao, and then make a decision!

"Regarding this case, this officer has to invite General Li and the guards back, make a detailed record and investigation, and then report to Marshal Pei." Wei Yuanzhong said.

Li Xiantong raised his hand very happily, "Wei Yushi, please." Now they are all innocent people, they can go wherever they want, as long as they do not violate military law, they will never interfere with this army! ”

"Hmph, the villain has a will!" Li Duozuo was not angry, and sprayed him in front of him.

Li Xiantong smiled and clasped his fists, "It's really offended, General Li." The duty is to invite General Li a lot! ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Li Duozuo coldly threw down a sentence, stepped forward and waved his hand, "Brothers, follow me!" ”

The Guardians agreed together.

"The official has also resigned!" Seeing this, Wei Yuanzhong had no choice but to leave, it seems that it is unlikely that there will be any good harvest today. Li Xiantong had already taken precautions, and he kept it tight.

"General Li is good to go. Wei Yushi is easy to go. Li Xiantong stood under the eaves and said goodbye to these people with a smile.

……

Near lunchtime, Xue Shao took the moon slave to the Laiyi wine shop in Taiyuan City, where Guo Yuanzhen, Xue Chuyu and the people of the Three Knife Brigade were already here. Seeing Xue Shao and the others coming in, everyone happily left their seats to greet each other.

Guo Yuanzhen pulled Xue Shao with a warm smile and asked him to sit down quickly, saying, Xue Gongzi worked hard last night, please sit down and rest. Ah, General An has also worked hard, sit, please sit!

In addition to being very serious when he was in the army, Guo Yuanzhen usually looks like a hippie smiling face in the market. His words and ridicule seemed to be used to it, and the people of the Three Knife Brigade were habitually happy, Xue Shao also disagreed, but the moon slave blushed to the base of his neck, and he couldn't wait to come forward and beat him on the spot and block his stinky mouth.

Could it be that this person knows that I was like that with my son last night? The moon slave glared at Guo Yuanzhen with shame and annoyance, and began to think crankily in his heart, could it be that he overheard it, or did he steal it?

When the wine and food came up, everyone talked and laughed. was happy, Wei Yuanzhong and Li Duozuo came together.

Xue Shao saw Li Duozuo at a glance, and his heart woke up on the spot: he brought people out so smoothly!

The smoother it goes, the more it may mean that Wei Yuanzhong has nothing to gain!
