Regarding the matter of Emperor Taishang recognizing Ye Yu as the grandson of the emperor, in fact, Zhao Gou himself only said this, and he didn't pay too much attention to this matter after that.

And Ye Yu just regarded it as a close way, and did not really expect to enjoy the treatment of the prince immediately.

The parties on both sides did not take it too seriously, but Emperor Zhao Yan took it seriously. Not only was the ministers announced in the court, but a decree was also prepared to be issued to confirm it.

When Ye Yu heard the news in the court, he was also very surprised.

But in retrospect, it's a good thing.

Soon after, this incident spread among the people. Ye Yu has become the righteous son of the current emperor, although he does not have a title, but this identity is also enviable.

Overnight, Ye Yu's status was once again raised!

However, Ye Yu had no time to take care of these, and he was busy every day.

Not only do you have to review the political achievements and resumes of officials in various places, but you also have to send the written ones to Deoksugung Palace.

The reason why it was renamed is because biography pays attention to historical facts, while the journal is just a kind of account, not too particular, so it will not be used to slander.

Although the important task of reviewing the officials of the Ministry of Officials, he Ye Yu is not the only one who presides over the overall situation, but also Prime Minister Yu Yunwen and Taiwei Zhang said.

But this time to rectify the rule of officials, Zhao Yan obviously let these two foils. Because the final review list was directly drawn up by Ye Yu himself.

For Zhao Yan's approach, in fact, everyone sees it very thoroughly, and Ye Yu is naturally no exception.

The parties in the court are in contention, and the relationship involved is as dense as a mesh. Therefore, if the rectification of the rule of officials is handed over to any official of the imperial court, there will be some conflicts of interest.

And he, Ye Yu, is just a rootless duckweed, without any foundation in the court, and is the target of attack by the two parties in the DPRK and China, so the reduction of officials will be more aggressive and unscrupulous.

In the blink of an eye, it is winter, although Jiangnan is not cold, but it is also the north wind howling and chilling.

After several months of review and reduction, it finally came to an imperfect end.

The reason why it is not perfect is because of the backlash against officials this time. If it weren't for Zhao Yan's tough attitude this time, I am afraid it would be difficult to complete this rectification.

This result not only made Ye Yu feel gratified, but also felt a little bitter.

At this moment, he finally understood Wang Anshi's suffering, and also understood Fan Zhongyan's difficulties.

Since ancient times, none of those who want to change the law have ended well, and the fundamental reason for this is that the barrier formed by the bureaucracy has great resistance.

The rectification of the administration of officials this time is only a small test, and it is so difficult, during which there was no lack of bloodshed in various states and counties.

Those who strive to change the law, although there are many omissions in the law they change, but the heart of the country and the people can be revealed.

For this alone, Ye Yu felt that Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi were greater than many glamorous people.

Even if they end up being a failure, their desire to innovate is respectable.

And if the Great Song Dynasty wants to really become rich and strong, it is not enough to rectify the rule of officials. But Ye Yu knew very well in his heart that this was not the time to make a drastic move.

Because he is not strong enough, not ruthless enough!

With the initial completion of the rectification of the officials, Ye Yu's life rhythm has also become much easier, in addition to his due official duties, he is to concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.

Of course, every three days, Deoksugung Palace will have an attendant come to pick up the manuscript. Ye Yu in the Great Song Dynasty even started the work of serializing novels.

In fact, with Ye Yu's eloquence and writing speed, this book can be completed within half a month.

But the reason why it was serialized so slowly, in addition to revising the taboo paragraphs in the original biography, also meant deliberately hanging the appetite.

Ye Yu knew very well in his heart that it would be difficult for this Emperor Zhao Gou to return to heaven for three years and five years, and he had this Emperor as a backer, which might be useful for his future career.

On this day, the early dynasty was dispersed, and as soon as Ye Yu returned to the mansion, the palace attendant Liu Gonggong followed, saying that he was summoned by His Majesty's imperial study.

This time, Ye Yu kept an eye on it, thinking about it, wouldn't it be another difficult task?

"Gonggong Liu, do you know what His Majesty summoned this official for?" Ye Yu was familiar with this father-in-law Liu, so he asked tentatively.

Gonggong Liu did not have the arrogance of Qingliu County at the beginning, but replied very respectfully: "Lord Ye, the miscellaneous family is not very clear, but after listening to some broken words, it seems to be related to the killing of officials......

"Oh? Officials killed! ”

When Ye Yu heard these four words, he immediately thought of the Fire Lotus Sect in his mind. When he was the Qingliu Zhixian, he heard about the Fire Lotus Sect's killing of the imperial court officials.

Gonggong Liu saw that Ye Yu's face was contemplative, so he kindly reminded: "Lord Ye, be cautious when you speak......

"There is Lao Liu's father-in-law to mention it, Ye Mou will remember it in his heart!"

While talking, the two came to the palace, and Ye Yu entered the imperial study alone.

"Wechen knocks to see His Majesty!"

"Ye Qing's family is flat!"

After Ye Yu got up, he raised his eyes and saw that Zhao Yan's face was like frost, and he seemed to be angry. Seeing that Prime Minister Yu Yunwen was also here, my heart couldn't help but sink.

Zhao Yan glanced at Ye Yu distraughtly, and then motioned for Yu Yunwen to explain the reason to Ye Yu.

Yu Yunwen concisely told Ye Yu about the reason, and Ye Yu understood the stakes.

Fuzhou was originally a rich land, but the general judgment of the appointment was changed three times within a year.

The official who was recently transferred to Fuzhou to serve as a general judge died on the way to take office for no reason. This series of murder cases is far stricter than Anfeng's change of magistrate.

Could it be that this matter was the work of the Fire Lotus Sect again?

This question reappeared in Ye Yu's mind, but it seemed a little unbelievable.

Recently, he was transferred to Fuzhou to pass the sentence, but the officials he personally audited, although they did not say that they were as honest as water, they were not big treacherous and evil people.

The Fire Lotus Sect has always been aimed at police and punishing adultery, but now this rampant and indiscriminate killing of innocents seems to be inconsistent with this purpose.

Just when Ye Yu was thinking about it, Zhao Yan opened his mouth and asked: "I am appointed to the position of general judgment in various states, and Ye Qing's family should know what its purpose is!" ”

"Returning to His Majesty, the general judgment is the same as the governor's state affairs, and has the right to supervise the governor's state, according to the regulations, most of them are personally selected by His Majesty, and can be directly reported to His Majesty, and its purpose is nothing more than to supervise the state government, so as to avoid dereliction of duty by local officials!"

"Well, what Ye Qingjia said is right, but now the official I sent was not sick and died, but was killed on the way, and the hidden dangers must not be ignored and ......."

Regarding Zhao Yan's emotion, although Ye Yu thought it was true, since he knew that this matter was not simple, he didn't give an order to thoroughly investigate and wait?

"Your Majesty, since there is something strange in this matter, the Criminal Department or Dali Temple can intervene in a thorough investigation, so that you can also calm your mind!"

What Ye Yu said was very reasonable, but in exchange for Zhao Yan's shaking of his head, he was silent. Ye Yu, who didn't know the holy will, had to set his eyes on Yu Yunwen.

Yu Yunwen hesitated for a moment, and then explained: "Lord Ye doesn't know, Fang Cai is discussing this matter with His Majesty, judging from the current situation, it has something to do with the Fire Lotus Sect, a civil force......

"Then if you know why, why don't you investigate the matter thoroughly?"

"Lord Ye doesn't know, this Fire Lotus Sect's whereabouts are secretive, and it has assassinated countless local officials in my court over the years, so it has not been able to eradicate the Fire Lotus Sect!"

As soon as Ye Yu heard this, he was a little unhappy, so he retorted: "Lord Yu's words are too partial and comprehensive, putting aside the matter of the Fuzhou general judgment, as far as Ye knows, although the Fire Lotus Sect does not abide by the king's law and cares about human life, most of the officials killed over the years are corrupt and perverted the law!" ”

"Oh? What Lord Ye means, this Fire Lotus Sect is a benevolent and righteous religion that asks for the lives of the people? ”

"Lord Yu, don't take things out of context when you speak, Ye is just talking about things!"

Yu Yunwen snorted disdainfully: "Hmph! In front of the king's law, there is only right and wrong, and if you ignore the king's law, you are the black sheep! ”

"Lord Yu is upright, which really makes Ye admire!"

Standing in front of law and reason, the behavior of the Fire Lotus Sect is indeed intolerable. Therefore, Ye Yu didn't bother to argue about the right and wrong debate of the Fire Lotus Sect, so he had to make concessions in words.

At this time, Zhao Yan waved his hand, sighed and said: "This matter is complicated, Yu Xiang recommended Ye Qing's family to Fuzhou to secretly investigate this matter, I don't know what Ye Qing's family thinks?" ”

"Uh, Your Majesty, Wei Chen, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, although there is no excuse, but this matter should be ...... by the Criminal Department"

"Lord Ye's words are wrong, at the beginning of Li Chong's murder case, Lord Ye solved the murder case in half a day, which is enough to show that Lord Ye has this ability!"

"That being said, it's ......"

"Okay, this matter depends on Yu Xiang's words, Ye Qingjia, I have granted you the right to patrol the hunt on behalf of the sky, inspect the military affairs of Fuzhou coastal defense, as well as the government affairs of various states; And secretly check for me, the reason for the death of the previous general judges! ”

wanted to express his wishes, but failed to do so twice, Ye Yu thought to himself that this trip to Fuzhou seemed to be a must-go.

"If we are ......"

"By the way, about you, I will send someone to follow all the way, so that the manuscript can be sent back to the palace in time!"

"Uh,...... Wechen obeys! ”

Ye Yu left the imperial study speechlessly, he finally wanted to use the Emperor Zhao Gou as a shield, but before he could say anything, he was expected by Zhao Yan in advance.

Although Ye Yu didn't know how deep the muddy water was in this Fuzhou, intuitively, it was not as simple as it seemed.

And this time he was transferred out of Beijing, it seems that the intention is not so simple.

But no matter what, since the emperor's will has been made, then he has to obediently do what he wants.

However, before leaving Beijing, there are some things that need to be well arranged.

Thinking of this, after Ye Yu left the palace, he did not go back to the house directly, but drove straight to Longmen Dart.

It's just that Ye Yu guessed the beginning, but didn't guess the end.

This trip to Fuzhou not only stirred up the turmoil in Fuzhou, but also made the heads of the state capital roll blood in the court.

This trip to Fuzhou not only had the prototype of naval construction, but also spread all kinds of legends about Ye Yu among the people.

The moment he walked down the court, he just left behind the legendary Pianpian son......
