Feng Manlou didn't expect the angels of the imperial court to come so quickly. Early in the morning of the next day, I saw a public servant who reported the news, galloped from the direction of Yangzhou, and after entering Yuhang, he went straight to the county yamen.

This man is the one who has come to tell the news, and the angel is on the way, and he will be there soon, so please meet him quickly.

When Feng Manlou heard this, fortunately he already knew it, but he was still a little flustered. Now that there is a superior leader to check, something must be done.

saw that Master Dai and Master Jiang had already changed into neat official clothes, and while asking someone to prepare an incense case, they also asked someone to wash the floor with clean water.

Then Feng Manlou was dressed in official uniforms, with the master of the six rooms, Liu Dutou, as well as four guards and a group of officials, and greeted him in a mighty manner towards the Shili Pavilion outside the city.

The speed of the angel was still very fast, and he didn't let Feng Manlou wait for long, and he saw people coming from a distance.

I saw the front guard of honor, the first person, holding a gong and drum, the bell was beating, thirteen rings in a row, and the mouth shouted: "Respect and believe, use sparingly and love others, and represent the angel people!" ”

Then, I saw seven pairs of people holding signs, but at first they wrote avoidance, silence and other signs. Then I saw a large number of grades and official ranks, such as the scholar of Jixian Palace, the Pingzhangshi under the door of the same book, the right servant of Shangshu, and the servant under the door.

Then a flag, on the book: on behalf of the sky patrol hunting, a big "Shen" word. Followed by.

Then, there are three pairs of guards of the golden gourd axe of the discounted regimental dragon flag, Shen Lun is a Qincha after all, so there are only three pairs, if the emperor travels, at least more than seven pairs, and it is not a big driver.

Immediately afterwards, there was an eight-lift sedan chair that must be draped in red and hung with colors. Followed by three hundred guards armed with knives, the entire Qincha team was really extraordinary.

Seeing this, Feng Manlou took the Yamen and others to kneel down on the side of the road, and shouted in his mouth: "The lower official will be the supervisor, and the right to know Fengmanlou in Yuhang County will welcome Lord Qincha!" ”

A large number of masters and servants behind them shouted respectfully together: "Welcome to Lord Qincha!" ”

And the team here, heard the sedan chair shouted to stop the sedan chair, then stopped, after a while, but saw a small servant, but a person dressed as a public man came up, said to Feng Manlou: "Please Lord Feng in front of the way!" ”

Feng Manlou was full of slander in his heart, and he came to greet him ten miles away, but he didn't see you come out to see him, Feng Manlou didn't take it to heart, but quickly got up, got on his sedan chair, and walked in front of the team with the people from the yamen.

These groups of people were almost 600 people, and they headed towards the Yamen of Yuhang County together.

Ten miles away, but only an hour, arrived.

The people of the yamen stood at the door, according to their positions, ready to meet the chincha. At this time, the Qincha team, the honor guards in front of them, had already been placed on both sides, and an eight-car sedan chair was presented in front of him, only to hear one person in front of the sedan shouting: "Get off the sedan chair!" ”

The sedan chair fell lightly to the ground, Feng Manlou took two steps forward, knelt on the ground, and said: "I will be a prisoner, and I have the right to know that Yuhang County Feng Manlou welcomes Lord Qincha!" ”

A person next to him lifted the sedan curtain, revealing a head, a head wearing a gauze hat, and a pair of long wings on the hat, showing the identity of the owner. The longer the hat wings of the Great Song Dynasty, the higher the rank of the official.

I saw an old man in his early seventies, wearing a purple official uniform and a goldfish bag hanging from his waist. Although he was old, he was full of energy, held up a yellow box in his hand, walked out of the sedan door, and said clearly: "No courtesy!" ”

After all, Shen Lun is a Qincha, so naturally he doesn't need to return the courtesy, even if he is not a Qincha, with his own identity as a minister, he doesn't need to return the courtesy. Although he said goodbye to Feng Manlou now, his voice was very soft, and he didn't have a big voice.

Feng Manlou respectfully welcomed him into the lobby, and someone had already arranged a hot soup bath for Qin Cha to cleanse himself, and then wash his hands with clean water. He offered the yellow box on the incense table and bowed three times, and then held it with both hands.

At the same time, he said: "I will be a supervisor, I will know Yuhang County, and I will receive the order from the wind full of buildings!" ”

Feng Manlou and the people who were already waiting under the hall hurriedly knelt down.

But he saw that Qin Cha opened the yellow box, took out a yellow edict from it, and began to read it aloud.

The content is a lot of official clichés, in fact, the core content is just a few simple sentences, which said, during the governance of Yuhang by Feng Manlou, the performance was excellent, and the court was heard, so it was promoted to Tianzhang Pavilion to be systematized, and the palace was Cheng. In addition, there is a paragraph of the emperor's praise, which is estimated to have been polished, and finally said that since there are talented young talents, they must guard against arrogance and rashness, and should be benevolent and righteous.

The word Xingren, Feng Manlou understands the deep meaning very well, probably still feels that what he is doing in Yuhang is a little too sharp, according to Li Zhong's words, it is to arrest the officials of Yuhang cleanly, naturally it is not benevolent enough.

Feng Manlou thought that he might persuade himself to work hard to govern Yuhang, but he didn't expect to say that it was an unkind and righteous manifestation to arrest these officials, and besides, it was not his own arrest, but various reasons that caused all the officials to fall.

After all, Shen Lun is an elderly person, and after reciting the holy decree, he has to go to rest, and the fatigue and running along the way have also made this old man suffer, especially such an old man.

Feng Manlou hurriedly asked people to take Lord Qincha to rest. Shen Lun, supported by the attendants, went into the wing room to rest.

But he saw a person who didn't look like a guard, but he didn't mean to leave, he took out the document from his arms and said: "Lord Feng, this official is Wailang Fangquan, a member of the Zhongshu Provincial Officials' Department, who followed the honor guard of Lord Qincha and came to Yuhang on business!" ”

As soon as Feng Manlou heard it, he knew that it was the person sent by the King of Wei that Li Zhong said.

Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Lord Fang came from afar, and he missed the distance, I don't know what business he wants?" ”

At this moment, when the two masters heard that Fang Quan was an official from the ministry, they suddenly felt a burst of secret joy in their hearts, they were about to withdraw with the other masters, but they heard Fang Quan say: "Lord Lao Fufeng, please Master Jiang Alcohol, Master Diane will bring Master Jiang to meet!" ”

The two masters hurriedly stood still and stepped forward to salute. Diane said: "Subordinate Diane, I've seen Lord Fang!" ”

Jiang Yufeng also hurriedly identified himself, but saw that Fang Quan had taken a burden from his entourage and opened it, only to find that it was a confession document, which was really the identity certificate of the two of them.

Jiang Yufeng and Diane hurriedly thanked him, and after explaining these things, they saw Fang Quan take out a document, hand it to Feng Manlou, and said in his mouth: "I forgot to tell Lord Feng, Xia Guan still has a position, which is also the deacon of the Criminal Department of the Three Divisions and Yamen, and this document is the imperial court's palindrome to Lord Feng's case of playing the imperial court!" ”

Although the current six ministries also have several institutions, such as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry, they also follow the system of three provinces and six ministries during the Tang Dynasty.

Among them, three provinces are Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Shangshu Province, and there are also three divisions of Yamen. Among them, there are three provinces of the higher level of the body, that is, the Zhongshu Menxia, whose main chief is Pingzhangshi, that is, the prime minister, responsible for the government affairs of the imperial court. In addition, there is the Privy Council, which is mainly in charge of the military, and these are the two houses.

In addition, there are three departments in charge of finance, justice, and supervision. The six ministries were under the jurisdiction of these yamen. The real expansion of the rights of the six ministries was only in the Ming Dynasty, when Ming Taizu abolished the prime minister system, and the status of the six ministries was raised.

The current six Shangshu, that is, the level of the fourth grade, is the same as the grade of a prefect, and a member of the foreign lang, even a deacon, is only seven grades, although now Fengmanlou is also a seven-grade county. However, there is also a title of the palace Cheng, which is from the grade of the fifth grade, and Fang Quan's other titles are only from the sixth grade, so in front of Feng Manlou, he still claims to be a lower official.

Feng Manlou took the document and opened it to see, but it was a palindrome for the two cases of Bao Ping and Zhao Ziliang, which was verified by the imperial court, but there were no mistakes or omissions, and Feng Manlou's judgment was agreed.

In other words, from now on, Feng Manlou can pull Bao Ping out of the cell and behead him at any time. As for Zhao Ziliang, it is a thorn with Yinzhou.

After Fang Quan finished explaining his official duties, Jiang Yufeng and Diane must celebrate, but Fang Quan insisted on leaving, and Feng Manlou did not deliberately force him to stay, and now there is still a messenger to deal with.

However, to the surprise of Feng Manlou, this Xiangye seems to be very easy to deal with, but he is hiding in the wing room to rest, thinking that he is old.

When it was time to eat, Feng Manlou asked people to invite, and they went to Hongbin Building to eat a table of food, but Shen Xiangye's bearing, which made Feng Manlou admire it very much, but saw that he just ordered some light dishes casually, and said that he was too old to eat big fish and meat.

After eating, he went back to the wing, and said that he was afraid of disturbing the local yamen, so he hid and was idle. Feng Manlou doesn't care.

At this moment, Sun Hu came back and said: "My lord, my subordinates and Wang Ying, together with General Li's subordinates, followed that Lord Fang all day, and sure enough, after traveling less than ten miles out of Yuhang, they changed into civilian clothes and infiltrated Yuhang!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "It's not surprising. Is there any change in the number of people in their group? ”

Sun Hu said: "It hasn't changed, it's still three people!" ”

Feng Manlou explained: "Keep an eye on me, and if Li Zhong has any abnormalities, report it as soon as possible!" ”

Sun Hu said yes and left.

Early the next morning, Feng Manlou had just gotten up and finished washing, and looked at Qincha's wing, where the guards had already gotten up and were all gathered outside.

And a person who looked like a guard came out of the Qin Cha wing, found Feng Manlou, and said, "Lord Feng, Shen Xiangye is invited!" ”

Feng Manlou knew that if this Shen Xiangye left like this, he would definitely not be able to do Xiangye, even if he wanted to resign, he had to inform himself.

Feng Manlou followed the guards into the wing, but saw that Shen Xiangye had already sat down on the official chair of the main seat. Feng Manlou didn't say a word, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying, "The next official sees Xiangye!" ”

Shen Lun's old face did not change in the slightest, he just shook his hand and signaled that he could get up.

But I heard Shen Lun say: "Xingren, do you know how the official family evaluates you?" "In the Great Song Dynasty, whether it was a courtier or a commoner, when talking about the emperor in private, he still liked to use the title of official, which seemed more cordial.

Feng Manlou didn't speak, it was obvious that Shen Lun hadn't finished speaking, waiting for Shen Lun to continue.
