Li Yanqing's fame in the imperial court is indeed very great, but it is not because he is both civil and military, and he has made great contributions on the battlefield, these court officials generally do not care.

As for his early entrance examination last year, it may have attracted attention at the time, but after all, almost two years have passed, and everyone has long forgotten about it.

The reason why Li Yanqing is famous in the court is because he has been promoted to two grades and five ranks in a row in less than two years, which has caused a sensation in the imperial court and made countless officials blush.

This is what officials are staring at the most, why was Li Yanqing promoted? What's behind him? This period of time has always been the most concerned thing for court officials, and promotion and backstage will always be an eternal topic in officialdom.

However, this Zhang Xun is very smart, he saw that Li Yanqing's reaction was very flat, so he immediately ignored the matter of nominating anger, and smiled at Li Yanqing: "Please come with me!" ”

The two went up to the third floor and came to a room in the easternmost part, Zhang Xun said with a smile: "This is Li Yushi's official room, Liu Yushi still left a little thing in the past, and don't worry about it, I will let someone take it away in the afternoon, please come in!" ”

Li Yanqing pushed the door and walked into his official room, which was a very spacious room, at least hundreds of square meters, divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and the outside was the adjutant's room, with one person each for the director, the envoy and the secretary, and a small tea boy, who was responsible for cleaning, ordering tea for everyone, running errands and other miscellaneous things.

The main thing is a junior official of Jiupin, he is the assistant of the imperial history, and the envoy and the secretary have no official titles, just clerks, one of them is in charge of the outside, the other is in charge of the inside, the envoy is in charge of the field, and the secretary is the internal staff, responsible for sorting out the documents, several people saw Li Yanqing come in, and quickly stood up and nodded and said hello.

Li Yanqing saw Zhang Xun walk directly into the inner official room, so he nodded to everyone and followed into the inner room.

The room is about fifty square meters, the light is very bright, in the center is a large bookcase, there is a row of bookcases against the wall on both sides, and there is a bronze beast incense burner in the corner, emitting green smoke, making the room filled with a faint fragrance.

Behind the table are two large windows, the wind is a little strong, blowing the documents on the table rattling, Zhang Xun hurriedly stepped forward to lower the curtain, and the light in the room was a little darker.

Zhang Xun put a wooden box on the table, "This is Li Yushi's seal, including the official seal and the imperial seal, it is very important, please Li Yushi put it away carefully, and other items that Li Yushi needs, I will arrange someone to send them in the afternoon, I don't know what else Li Yushi needs me to do?" ”

The implication is that if there is nothing else to do, he will leave, Li Yanqing thought for a while and asked, "What official business does I need to deal with at present?" ”

"This director will tell Li Yushi, I don't ask about specific official matters, in fact, I am just equivalent to the logistics officer of the army."

Zhang Xun smiled, "If there is nothing else, I'll go first!" ”

Li Yanqing hugged his fists and saluted, "Thank you for the guidance of Master Zhang!" ”

Zhang Xun turned around and left, and when he walked through the outhouse, he exchanged a meaningful look with the principal.

After a while, several officials from the outhouse walked into the room one after another and bowed together, "See Li Yushi!" ”

"In the future, we will do things together, please take care of me!"

After all, Li Yanqing has led tens of thousands of troops, and he has served as the chief of the Hedong Army and the director of the Intelligence Department in the Hedong Army.

He glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Let's get to know each other first, I don't need to introduce myself, everyone, please introduce yourself, start with the main thing." ”

........

Li Yanqing quickly became familiar with several of his subordinates, the director was called Tao Ye, a native of Kaifeng Mansion, born in Taixue, less than thirty years old, and served as the director for three years, both in appearance and conversation.

The envoy is called Wang Jiao, because the previous envoy was taken away by the former servant Liu Lin, Wang Jiao was transferred from the prison, but he is no longer young, at least forty years old, tall and capable.

Shulingshi is called Liu Fang, in his thirties, taciturn, low-key, short and fat, like a winter melon, but his smile is very kind, which makes Li Yanqing have an illusion, has this person ever sold cooking cakes before?

There is also a little tea boy named Brother Ying, about eleven or twelve years old, who is responsible for ordering tea and running errands for everyone, and he is also very clever.

"Officials, please use tea!"

Brother Ying respectfully put a black glazed tea cup fired in Jiande County on Li Yanqing's table, Li Yanqing took a sip of tea, the tea powder was ground very delicately, the brewed tea foam was bright and even, and the taste was very pure.

"Good refreshments!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Where does the tea come from?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"It is with tea, there are five catties of tea cakes per month in each room of Yushi, all of which are excellent Huizhou tea, and other tea sets are ready-made, if there are not enough things, you can go to the inner room to get it."

"Where is Brother Ying from, and how long have you been here?"

"I am a native of the capital, my family is poor, three years ago Yushitai recruited tea boys, and I came in."

"I guess I've read a book!"

"After reading a book for a year and knowing hundreds of words, you must be literate as a tea boy, otherwise you won't be able to run errands and deliver documents."

Li Yanqing also had a tea boy when he joined the army as a record clerk in the Hedong Military Office, and the imperial court would not give tea boys a fortune, and their income was generally spent from the daily expenses of various departments, and if they were clever, they would also give a little reward.

Li Yanqing grabbed a handful of money from the drawer and gave it to him, "The refreshments are good, you should give a reward!" ”

"Thank you, official!"

Brother Ying took the money with both hands and left happily, Li Yanqing found an iron box in the drawer, which was full of a box of copper coins, estimated to be about two pieces of money, which should have been left by his predecessor, and he just used it to reward the tea boy.

Li Yanqing also knows a little bit about the rules of the imperial court, officials have the benefits of the imperial court, and he can ignore it, but the clerks are meager and have no benefits, and generally the chief official gives a little welfare subsidy.

Therefore, the chief official must have a little extra income, and he can't afford it just by paying out of his own pocket, if it happens to be the Qingshui Yamen, who has no power and no profit, the life of the clerk below will be more difficult.

Yushitai is a little better, but it also depends on the ability of each chief official, fortunately, Li Yanqing has Baoyanzhai as the backing, of course he doesn't have to engage in interest exchange, accept bribes and other things, he cares about his authority now, he didn't come to Yushitai to drink tea and spend his life.

At this time, Tao Ye, the principal, walked in, holding a thick stack of documents and files in his hand, the Song Dynasty already had file paper bags made of kraft paper, and the materials of each case were concentrated in one bag.

"These are the three cases left by Liu Yushi, he was transferred away before he had time to finish the trial, all the cases are very clear, if Yushi has any doubts, he will explain."

"You put the case here first, let me ask you another thing, are all the cases I handle tried?"

"Nope! No! There are not many cases tried by the three divisions, no more than ten cases a year, or the case of the Imperial History Observatory itself, such as the impeachment of an official by the Imperial History, there must be a basis, and this basis is to investigate, generally to supervise the Imperial History to investigate, and then send it to the Taiwan Court for review, that is, to send it to us, we found no problems in the review, and then printed it and sent it to the impeachment of the Imperial History, and they will provide evidence for impeachment. ”

"It must be investigated by the Overseer?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"Not necessarily, the supervision of the imperial history is generally only in charge of the place, if the Kaifeng Mansion directly transfers the case to the Taiwan Court, then the Taiwan Court will directly handle the case, if you feel that the case is serious, then you need to go to Chen Tianzi, after the approval of the Son of Heaven, the Yushi Observatory will initiate the trial of the three divisions, and there is also a situation where you encounter a report, such as inviting the car frame, making a statement, and hitting the drum, this situation should be paid attention to, and you can't take the case casually."

"Why?"

Tao Ye explained with a smile: "The Yushitai is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, but ordinary people don't care, what is the dispute for the house and land, what is the dispute between the concubines, they will come to play the Dengwen drum of the Yushitai, especially the Kaifeng Mansion next door to us, there are often cases of playing the wrong drum." ”

"Will it?" Li Yanqing smiled dumbly.

"This is the most common thing, yesterday there was an old man who came to play the drum, accusing his son of unfilial piety, they were anxious, and whether it was Yushitai or Kaifeng Mansion, they rushed up when they saw a big drum."

Li Yanqing laughed, "I know, I'll take a look at the file first, and then ask you if there's anything." ”

"Retire from your duties!"

Tao Ye retreated, Li Yanqing picked up three thick file bags, he found that one of the bags was stamped with the seal of 'Three Divisions Trial', so he took it over and looked at it carefully, the case was written on the cover of the bag, 'Lin Lingsu Assassination Case', the ink was a little faded, and he looked at the time below, it turned out to be a case that happened a year ago.
