Sending Cao Jiaojiao home, Li Yanqing hurried back to Yushitai, fortunately, he was not late, Yushitai's lunch break had just ended.

"Is there anything going on in the morning?" Walking into the official room, Li Yanqing asked.

Liu Fang hurriedly said: "Not long after Yushi went out, Gu Langzhong of the Criminal Department came, he heard that you were not there, and he may come back in the afternoon." ”

"What's the matter with him?"

"I didn't say anything specifically, I heard that you weren't there and left."

Li Yanqing nodded, then returned to his seat and sat down, at this time, Mo Jun came over with a dossier and said with a smile: "The little lady sent it back?" ”

"Finally sent back, I want to tell her grandfather when I go back, I can't let this little lady run around, let her get used to it, and come to Yushitai every once in a while, things are all messed up."

"I found that this little lady likes Li Yushi very much."

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly in her heart, who doesn't like the wronged head, she is generous and willing to spend money on her, of course she likes herself.

Although he also likes this lively and cute little girl very much, he likes to like it, if Cao Jiaojiao comes to Yushitai at every turn, he can't stand it.

"Imperial history, this is the directory of cases in the past five years, all here."

Mo Jun put the thick file on Li Yanqing's desk, this is a case that Yushitai has not solved in five years, a total of thirteen, Li Yanqing looked at it and asked, "Do you think there is a problem?" ”

"There are four cases where I feel that I can consider retrial, and the rest of the cases are meaningless even if they are retried."

Li Yanqing did not ask why there was no point in retrial, he knew in his heart that if he was not forced to do so, he would not have to do it.

"Put it here first, I'll go back and take a closer look."

Mo Jun bowed and retreated, Li Yanqing took the file, found out the four cases that Mo Jun marked as can be retried, he probably looked at it, basically local officials complained about all kinds of injustices, this is also the most cases encountered by Yushitai, after the promotion or transfer once a year, it will attract a large number of officials to expose and complain, which is a big headache, but it can't be ignored.

However, most of these cases are handled by the procuratorate of the Imperial History Observatory, and the supervision of the Imperial History is in charge, and Li Yanqing's Taiwan Court has not taken over much, and the cases taken over are basically impossible to deal with.

Li Yanqing was a little interested in the fourth case, it was actually Qin Hui who impeached Wang Huang and cut Taixue, so that the world's scholars could not eat, and the impeachment time was before the Taixue demonstration.

This made Li Yanqing have a thought in his heart, whether it is this impeachment letter or a student demonstration, is it Qin Hui submitting a petition to Cai Jing?

If this is the case, this Qin Hui has a lot of vision and sees that Cai Jing still has a chance to make a comeback.

At this time, there was a sound of talking from the outhouse, it was the voice of Gu Yiqun in the Criminal Department, and Li Yanqing temporarily put the file aside and got up to greet him.

"I'm really sorry, let Gu Lang run for a trip in the morning."

"It's nothing, I just happened to have other things to do when I came to Yushitai today, so it's not a waste of running!"

Li Yanqing invited Gu Yiqun to sit down in the room, and Gu Yiqun smiled: "There is a new case, I want to communicate with you first." ”

Li Yanqing laughed, "It won't be the case of the student petitioning!" ”

"Li Yushi is right, this is the case."

Gu Yiqun saw that Li Yanqing's face was a little reluctant, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The matter is not what Li Yushi thought, we didn't plan to throw the case to Yushitai, but Empress Zheng personally interrogated the case, and the official family issued an edict asking the three divisions to try the case!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "It seems that this time it is the Ministry of Criminal Affairs that takes the lead, right!" ”

"That's right, because the case is in the hands of the Criminal Department, so this time the Criminal Department will take the lead, and then the Yushitai and Dali Temple will cooperate to try the case."

Li Yanqing pondered and said, "But I can only take over this case if Yu Shi Zhongcheng approves it first!" ”

"Of course, I have already transferred the case file and approval form to your master book in the morning, and he will hand it over to Deng Zhongcheng for approval, and then I want to discuss it with you to see when the three of us will meet and discuss the case together."

"I can do it all!"

"Or tomorrow afternoon! In the Criminal Department's Trial Hall, if Li Yushi has no problems, I will go and inform Dali Temple now. ”

The so-called imperial history Zhongcheng approval is just a formality, and it does not affect the trial, Li Yanqing thought about it, and there was no arrangement for tomorrow, so he nodded and agreed.

"Then tomorrow afternoon! We'll come over after the lunch break, and if I really can't come, I'll let Master Mo come over. ”

"That's okay, it's just to understand the facts of the case, not a formal consultation."

Gu Yiqun said goodbye and left, Brother Ying came in to pack up the teacup, and at this moment, Liu Xin, the chief bookkeeper, walked in quickly, "Is Li Yushi back?" ”

"I'm here!" Li Yanqing responded in the back room.

Liu Xin walked into the back room and said with a smile: "I'm here to inform you that a temporary dynasty will be held tomorrow, and Li Yushi will also participate, don't oversleep." ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, "Didn't you say that you don't need to participate in the early dynasty below the fifth grade?" ”

"The rules haven't changed, but tomorrow the list of the last dynasty includes the imperial history, so I have to inform you quickly, and I have to inform others, Li Yushi don't forget it."

The normal pilgrimage meeting is the first and fifteenth day of each month, but tomorrow is the fifth day of the twelfth month, which is a temporary pilgrimage meeting, and there will usually be special topics.

According to the usual practice, if there is no special notice for the court meeting, it is generally attended by officials above the doctor level, that is, from the fifth rank or above, but the temporary court will have a special topic, and the special officials who are required to participate in the court meeting will generally be listed, so that some middle and low-level officials with important functions and powers will also have the opportunity to participate in the court.

The Imperial Servant belongs to the list of required participants on the list of this court meeting, and Li Yanqing will also participate in the court meeting for the first time.

．．．．．．．．

The early Song Dynasty, like the Tang Dynasty, started at the beginning of the hour, that is, at half past five in the morning, and Li Yanqing got up early before the fifth watch, but it was only half an hour earlier than him.

It was Hu Qing'er who combed Li Yanqing's hair today, Sisi was a little sick these days, unwell, and couldn't get up early to serve her husband, so Hu Qing'er volunteered to get up early.

"Qing'er, you can get up so early?" Li Yanqing said with a smile.

Hu Qing'er pouted and said, "Have you forgotten who asked you to get up and run every day at five watches?" Will my dad open up to me? Let me tell you, I have to get up every day to practice martial arts, and I have insisted on it for ten years. ”

"You're also running?"

"I don't run, but I have to swim, I swim 20 miles in Liangshanbo every day, and when it freezes in winter, my father will make a hole with a pot lid every 300 steps on the ice to give me breath, and if I swim a little wrong way, I will die."

"Did you miss it?"

Hu Qing'er knocked on his head with a comb, and said angrily: "Do you think it's a female water ghost standing behind you?" ”

"I said the wrong thing." Li Yanqing said apologetically.

"But you're right, once I swam by mistake, missed an ice cave, dived 600 steps, I don't know how much water was filled in my stomach, I almost drowned, my dad scolded me badly, and I never missed it again."

Hu Qing'er skillfully tied his hair in a bun, and put on an official hat for him, today Li Yanqing is wearing a six-grade scarlet dress, and a silverfish bag is hung around his waist, which is a silk bag, and a satin inside is decorated with two rows of six silverfish, which is also the identity of the fourth-grade official, although this is only a reward status, not a real official rank, but the court must wear it, otherwise he will be impeached by the palace servant Yushi for disrespect.

Li Yanqing hurriedly ate breakfast, and the time was five watches, "Okay, I'm leaving!" ”

Li Yanqing checked it for the last time, and found no omissions, so he smiled at Qing'er and said, "I've worked hard for you today, take good care of Sister Sisi, I'll go first." ”

"Let's go! Why do you have to emphasize it twice? ”

Hu Qing'er muttered and sent Li Yanqing out of the gate, Zhang Hu and Yang Guang had been waiting for a while at the door, Li Yanqing turned over and got on the horse, waved his hand to Hu Qing'er with a smile, and urged the horse to go in the direction of the imperial city.

.........

The fifth watch of December is still pitch black, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the sky is exceptionally clear, a round and a half moon is like a boat wandering in the blue-black sea, the clear light is sprinkled, and the capital is smeared with a layer of light silver.

Many eunuchs in the capital also lit up the lights, there are not many people riding horses on the street, and there are not many carriages, most of them are ox carts, with orange lanterns hanging on the wheels, and the lanterns have official positions and names, and they are generally followed by a few retinues, most of whom are running.

At first, there were very few officials, but after entering the Suzaku Gate, Li Yanqing entered the inner city of the Royal Street, and the officials of the court on both sides of the royal street gradually increased, and officials continued to join from various intersections, gradually forming a mighty team of more than 1,000 people.

There were not only ox carts and horses, but also carriages and sedan chairs, and the number of retinues increased.

In many cases, looking at the status of an official, it can be seen from his entourage that there are only two low-grade officials like Li Yanqing who follow.

But if you see hundreds of people following a carriage, and the entourage is brightly dressed and tall, then nine out of ten the officials in the carriage are high-ranking officials of the third rank or above.

"Yanqing!" When he was still hundreds of steps away from Xuande Gate, Li Yanqing suddenly heard someone calling him next to him.

As soon as he turned around, he found that there was a carriage driving next to him, followed by dozens of entourage, and the curtain of the carriage had been raised, revealing a smiling face full of wrinkles, it was the prince Shaobao, the secretary of the school inspection department, and the general of the right guard, Cao Ping.
