There was an uproar in the hall, everyone heard it, the evidence of the Yushitai was not conclusive, and it could not prove that Lu Chu was guilty, but Lu Chu actually took the initiative to resign, and was even willing to accept the crime of territorial annexation, and many shrewd ministers saw the key to this case, that is, the real owner of the five thousand hectares of land.

Yu Shinan also hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the court question is not over yet, please allow Weichen to continue!" ”

"Ting asked, continue!"

Zhang Xuan glanced at Pei Ju again, and said with a slight smile: "Pei Xiangguo, please step down!" ”

"The old minister obeys!"

Pei Ju felt a little uneasy in his heart, he felt that Zhang Xuan had seen through himself, and he had no choice but to retreat.

Yu Shinan continued: "When we checked the official records of Xingyang County, we found that all the records of the transfer of land deeds were there, but there was no record of Lu Shangshu's 5,000 hectares of fertile land.

Of course, because of time constraints, we didn't go to Xingyang County for on-the-spot verification, and I don't have any other requirements now, please ask Lu Shangshu to tell me, who is the former owner of the 5,000 hectares of fertile land? Whether Lu Shangshu is guilty of land annexation, or even whether he is guilty of bribery, the key lies in this. ”

Zhang Xuan, who had been silent on this matter, finally made a statement, "I know that Lu Shangshu has a hard time, and he may not want to disclose the original owner of the land, but this matter is related to the credibility of the imperial court, and whether there will be a split within us, it is not just a matter of Lu Shangshu's personal privacy, so I still hope that Lu Shangshu can respect the original intention of the establishment of the court question system, and seek justice openly, of course, if it involves major military secrets, Lu Shangshu can raise objections." ”

Lu Chu's face was pale, he was always hesitant, at this time, Su Wei came out and said: "Your Highness is right, the original intention of the court is to seek justice openly and give the minister a chance to fight for innocence, this is no longer Lu Shangshu's personal honor and disgrace, but also related to the reputation of the imperial court, if Lu Shangshu is unwilling to say, then I want to say two words." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Wei, Lu Chu's face was even paler, he didn't dare to look directly at Su Wei, but he didn't stop Su Wei from speaking out.

Su Wei saluted Zhang Xuan, "Please allow Your Highness!" ”

"Accurate!"

"Your Highness!"

Su Wei raised his voice and said: "Just now Doctor Yu mentioned that there is no record of 5,000 hectares of land in the Xingyang official mansion, and there is no record in the official field, which makes me think of a situation, there is indeed a kind of land that will not be recorded in the official mansion, that is, Huangzhuang, if I guessed correctly, these 5,000 hectares of fertile land are Huangzhuang, Lu Shangshu, am I right?" ”

Lu Chu let out a long sigh, "Su Xiangguo is right! ”

It was actually Huangzhuang, everyone's eyes widened, but no one dared to speak, the hall was silent, everyone held their breath, the answer was about to be revealed, Yu Shinan asked: "Since it is Huangzhuang, may I ask Lu Shangshu, which royal family entrusted it to Lu Shangshu?" ”

"It's my father!"

Suddenly there was a girl's crisp voice outside the hall, and everyone turned around and saw Yang Ji'er, the princess of Guangling, walking in from outside the hall.

There was silence in the hall, this sudden conclusion shocked all the ministers, the five thousand hectares of fertile land turned out to be entrusted to Lu Chu by the first emperor Yang Guang, it was simply incredible, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that only for this reason, the original owner will not have any records.

Everyone silently looked at this princess who had grown up, the naughty little princess had become as beautiful and luxurious as a peony flower, and she seemed to appear in this hall without any sense of disobedience.

Yang Ji'er stepped forward and saluted Zhang Xuan, her long eyelashes drooped, but her eyes did not look at him, she could never forgive Zhang Xuan for her mother's inappropriate thoughts, although it was not entirely Zhang Xuan's responsibility, but she could see that Zhang Xuan also had that kind of thought.

Zhang Xuan looked at her silently, with a little guilt in his eyes, but this regret only flashed in his heart, and he said lightly: "What does the princess have to say?" ”

Yang Ji'er looked at Zhang Xuan, there was no personal grudge in her eyes, and she said loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, ministers, the five thousand hectares of land under the name of Lu Shangshu are indeed entrusted to him by my father before going to Jiangdu, and it is a back road left for me and King Zhao, if Sheji is not there in the future, his pair of young daughters also have the means to make ends meet, and my father inspected many people, and finally chose Lu Shangshu, because he is honest, upright, and loyal to trust, I remember very clearly, that night in addition to my father and Lu Shangshu, There is also Yang Qing, the king of Xun, and I and my brother Zhao Wang, even the queen mother does not know about this, and now, the middle capital is actually spreading, saying that Lu Shangshu is corrupt and perverts the law, annexing land, saying that he is hypocritical and treacherous, and can be called Wang Mang's second, I can't help but stand up, even if I don't want those lands, I must not let Lu Shangshu bear the injustice. ”

At this time, Lu Chu was already in tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't have to be like this!" ”

Yang Ji'er took out a yellowed white silk holy decree, "This is the will left by my father, in triplicate, one for me and King Zhao, and one for Lu Shangshu in his hand, this is the evidence." ”

Lu Chu trembled and took out a copy of the same decree from his arms, Yang Shidao stepped forward to take the two holy decrees and presented them to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan took a deep look at Yang Ji'er, and read the two holy decrees again, sure enough, it was the handwriting of Yang Guang, the son of heaven, who entrusted the five thousand hectares of land in Xingyang County to Lu Chu for temporary safekeeping, and in the future, the world would be peaceful, and then return the five thousand hectares of fertile land to King Zhao and Princess Guangling, and below was Yang Guang's signature and Lu Chu's painting.

Zhang Xuan asked Yang Zaishi to hand over the will to Yu Shinan, Yu Shinan looked at it for a moment, and suddenly bowed to Lu Chu, "Yu Mou's investigation is not clear, so Shangshu is burdened with injustice, and I am willing to apologize to Shangshu!" ”

Lu Chu sighed: "Having an upright and strict imperial history like Dr. Yu is a blessing for the imperial court!" ”

Yu Shinan said loudly: "Now that the situation has been ascertained, Lu Shangshu is honest and honest, and he has not annexed land, and the Yushitai has officially withdrawn the case, and this is the end of the court question!" ”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "Arrange a temporary seat for Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

An official took an embroidered pier and put it on the side of His Majesty, Yang Ji'er hesitated and sat down, and the courtiers had no objections, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent made it very clear, it was just a temporary seat, and let the princess sit out of courtesy, not let her listen to the court.

Lu Chu saluted, "Your Highness, Weichen retires!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "Shang Shu waits, the next court meeting is also related to Shang Shu." ”

Zhang Xuan slowly said to the ministers: "The court question not only promotes justice through openness, but also allows us to see an honest and honest pillar of the minister, let's enter the second item of the court discussion, about the explanation of the implementation of the multiphase system, before the explanation, I need to make two appointments." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuan raised his voice and said, "Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs listens to the seal!" ”

Li Gang walked out of the courtiers quickly, bowed down and said, "Weichen is here!" ”

"Li Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in charge of the world's finances, collection and expenditure, the matter is important, this king specially crowned Li Shangshu as the senior minister of Ziwei Pavilion, and participated in the discussion of Ziwei Pavilion."

"Weichen Xie His Highness's seal."

Li Gang retreated, Zhang Xuan glanced at Lu Chu again, and said loudly: "Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry listens to the seal!" ”

Zheng Shanguo's face turned pale, he knew that the most feared thing had finally appeared, his mind was blank, and he only listened to Zhang Xuan announce, "Transferred to the right servant of Shangshu, crowned as the senior minister of Ziwei Pavilion, and participated in the discussion of Ziwei Pavilion." ”

The hall suddenly erupted in applause, obviously everyone supported Lu Chu as the senior minister of Ziwei Pavilion, Lu Chu was so excited that tears flowed out, kneeling down and kowtowing, "Weichen is willing to bow and die as much as he can!" ”

Yang Jier also shed tears of excitement, she looked at Zhang Xuan with a pair of beautiful eyes, although she was still full of resentment, but there was a trace of warmth in this resentment.

Pei Ju seemed to have one foot in the air, and he no longer had any support in his heart, he only felt extremely lost, originally Lu Chu was not qualified, and his appointment as the senior minister of Ziwei Pavilion attracted criticism, but after this land turmoil, Lu Chu's appointment as the senior minister of Ziwei Pavilion turned out to be the expectation of everyone, and he not only failed in planning, but also helped Lu Chu on the contrary.

He looked up at Zhang Xuan, and it happened that Zhang Xuan also looked at him, and his eyes were so cold that Pei Ju couldn't help but shiver.

Zhang Xuan immediately said to everyone: "Next, Wei Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials will officially announce the multi-phase system plan!" ”

Wei Yunqi walked to His Majesty Dan, took the scroll handed to him by Yang Zaishi, and read aloud to everyone: "Since Emperor Wen, the multi-phase system has been repeatedly mentioned that the first emperor implemented the election of Cao Qiqing, which is actually the prototype of the multi-phase system, but it was not finalized by the system, after many deliberations, weighing the pros and cons, it is decided to implement the multi-phase system in this dynasty, gradually summarize the pros and cons, improve the system, and hereby announce the draft as follows........."

When the people of Zhongdu sighed for the truth that Lu Chu held 5,000 hectares of fertile land, another blockbuster news exploded in Zhongdu, and the imperial court officially launched a multi-phase system, and the regent appointed seven ministers, including Su Wei, Pei Ju, Wei Yunqi, Xiao Yu, Chen Ling, Li Gang, Lu Chu and other seven people, all important affairs of the court were decided by the seven people through consultation and voting, and the appointment and dismissal of the seven ministers were decided by the regent.

Secondly, there is the reform of the ministry temple and the appointment and dismissal of major personnel, Wei Yunqi served as the secretary of the Shangshu and the secretary of the ministry, set up the left and right servants of the Shangshu, and the right servant of the Shangshu shot the six departments of the officials, households, and rites, and was reappointed by the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lu Chu, and the left servant of the Shangshu shot the six departments of soldiers, criminals and workers, and was reappointed by Zhang Xuansu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate.

The internal history province was renamed Zhongshu Province, and the chief official internal history order was changed to Zhongshu Ling, which was appointed by Su Wei, and there was a Zhongshu Shilang, and the name of the province remained unchanged.
