Chapter Forty-Eight: Changing Faces
Almost all of the people arrested so far in the inner factory are ordinary people who have no backstage, so nothing has happened. Originally, it was unjustifiable in law to arrest people in Chang'an without an official document of one government and two counties, but who is the "factory official" in the inner factory order? His daughter is one of the three ladies in the Daming Palace, and she can often touch Princess Taiping's hand to check the pulse; Yuwenxiao himself is also one of the former officials of the original King of Jin, and the inner factory is made up by the emperor himself. It's just that there has never been a holy decree or a Nanyawen jiàn stipulating its terms of reference, so it seems irregular. However, Li Shouyi and other direct ministers did not jump out to say that this stubble (offended Yu Wenxiao), and the other ministers turned a blind eye to Quan Dang did not see it.
After arresting and interrogating the shopkeeper and Mr. Talking of the Xianming Teahouse, Chen Rucai, the official of the inner factory, hurriedly ran to the inner factory yamen on the east side of the Zichen Palace. When I entered the palace gate, I took a lot of trouble and was interrogated several times.
Chen Rucai was originally an old scribe of the former Jin prince's kingdom, and according to a holy decree last time, they were all incorporated into the inner factory as officials, and it was indeed a big step up from officials to officials. This person is about forty years old, and the biggest trouble that has plagued him recently is nothing else, but such trivial things as losing his hair, and the top of his head is bald. Fortunately, men with official positions in the Jin Dynasty generally wore hats when they went out, and their hair was tied on the top of their heads on weekdays, and some hair around them could barely be covered after combing it, which can be described as a local support center. It's just that it still looks very sparse, and when you don't wear a hat, you don't even dare to use a hairpin, so you have to tie it with a turban.
He found Yu Wenxiao and talked about what he did: "Isn't Xuanpingfang next to the Yamen of the Kingdom of Anyifang, it just so happened that a small errand under the lower officials passed by Xuanpingfang South Street, and when he saw people gathering curiosity, he went over to listen, and when he heard that there was a gentleman who told a story in the teahouse openly said bad things about the emperor, he came back to report to me." I didn't think it mattered, but it didn't sound right: how could such a No. 1 person in the teahouse talk about the refutation of the holy decree in the political hall? I haven't heard of this kind of thing, I said it was made up in my heart, and he also knew about the old Goguryeo department sending beautiful women. I brought a few people over to arrest and ask for it, and the interrogation involved a lot of ......."
Yuwen Xiao didn't interject, sat on a bamboo chair and listened, nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Chen Rucai carefully touched the hundred and ten crooked beards on his chin, paused slightly, and continued: "First ask the gentleman who spoke, who made up the words?" I don't believe that he can reach so much as a person who goes to the rivers and lakes to eat. He insisted that it was the book given by the shopkeeper, and even the repertoire of the tag was also the idea in the teahouse. I asked someone to bring the shopkeeper up for trial, and seeing that the shopkeeper was older than me, I didn't plan to scare him and beat him, but this person insisted that the teahouse was newly opened, and I didn't know who the funder was. This is teasing me like a child, no one knows who it is, how can you take care of the accounts? At that time, it was on fire, and he was dragged to Neichang Prison for execution. This person is toasting and not eating and drinking, and the punishment is not half reached, and he is recruited. It turned out that the person who contributed the money was Jia Huan, the official of the cardinal room of the Political Affairs Hall! ”
Yuwen Xiaodao: "Although the official of this political hall has no grade or rank, it is an extremely important position. Those prime ministers often discuss matters in the political hall, and the officials themselves serve in the center, and it is not difficult to hear some news about military aircraft when they walk up and down, no wonder he knows so much. But if he can do that position, why is he still talking nonsense everywhere, and he doesn't understand this rule? It's all written as a song and sung, isn't this nonsense! How did these people come to be officials in the government hall? ”
Chen Rucai said: "The specific reason has to be interrogated directly by Jia Huan to know." However, I inquired, Jia Huan is the son of the Jia Yingfu family, the chief of the Qintian Prison, and the son-in-law of Cui Langzhong in Shangshu Province...... Besides, this person is a serious Nanya official, and the minister of the political hall didn't say hello, so I didn't dare to move, I reported to Yuwen Gong first, you always have an idea. ”
Yu Wenxiao got up from his chair, walked back and forth a few steps next to a pen holder that was rarely used, and turned around and said: "If our internal factory directly arrests the officials of the political affairs hall, there is no reason to say it on the table, and we have to make trouble." But if we greet the people in the political hall first, it won't be our turn to do this, whether Zhang Shuo handles it himself or hands it over to the Yushitai to investigate, in short, there is nothing to do with us...... Recently, His Majesty urged the old man to come up with the charter for the expansion of the inner factory, which is to support us. Isn't this an opportunity? If people are arrested by our internal factory and locked up for trial, they are in our hands, and it is no problem for other yamen to squeeze us out. After all, it's an arrest official, I have to call someone in to talk to His Majesty, if I get the holy decree, I won't be afraid of what those old boys will do. ”
Chen Rucai hurriedly bent down and patted: "Yuwen Gong is smart! ”
Yu Wenxiao thought for a while and said, "It's just that I have to finish this charter first, and take the opportunity to send the file to talk about it." Otherwise, His Majesty may feel that he hasn't finished his business and interfered with other things, isn't he taking my urging seriously? You all come and see what's wrong with that. ”
A few literati officials who had no background and no middle school leaned over to review the draft in front of Yu Wenxiao. Chen Rucai was dumbfounded when he saw it, and saw that there were all kinds of names written on it, and blurted out: "Yuwen Gong, it can't be written like this, we are the official yamen, not the gangs of the rivers and lakes." ”
Perhaps this sentence revealed the cold scar of Yu Wenxiao's background in the rivers and lakes, and his old face suddenly darkened. Chen Rucai hurriedly explained: "Such a set of people from top to bottom is excellent, but the name is not elegant enough, think about it, the emperor is an elegant person, and he may not like this name." ”
Yuwen Xiao pulled his face and said: "You are a little bit good at riding a horse and archery, the emperor is an elegant person, you go to accompany you next time you practice martial arts, and you can parry it." ”
The other officials saw that what was written on the file was really not like words, and they were afraid that the emperor would blame them for their poor assistance at that time, and they also followed the persuasion despite Yu Wenxiao's bad mood. As he spoke, Yu Wenxiao may also realize that the name is really not elegant, and finally promised them to change a few names.
As soon as he relented, the officials took the file, some changed the name and some changed the rules, but the structural foundation inside was still unchanged, and it did seem reasonable. Yu Wenxiao was originally a person who ran the rivers and lakes, and he had rich experience in that set of information to go east, west, north and south, and how to assign tasks, how to control the scattered manpower, how to keep secrets, and how to step on the point of surveillance.
The subordinates changed each branch hall into a "bureau", such as the Hedong Bureau of the Hebei Bureau, and the head of the hall was called "School Inspector"; The incense master of the sub-bureau is called the foreman, the core gang is called the team leader, the officer, etc., the general organized gang is called the service, the bribed spies and those miscellaneous people are not organized, and if something happens, the temporary workers have nothing to do with the organization, which is called "Sui".
A group of officials around Yu Wenxiao, although they are not talented, they have neither been in the Jinshi nor have a backstage, most of them are from the lowest-level officials and officials of the Jin Palace, but in the end, they are people who have read books and handled official affairs, and they have completely changed the layout of a gang, and at first glance it looks like an official institution. Yu Wenxiao looked at it carefully, and saw that the substantive process of doing things had not changed, but he had made a lot of high-sounding names that could be said, just like the ruffian who turned into a city manager with a head and a face, and he was also happy at the moment and forgot all about the unhappiness of being exposed just now.
When he was ready, he sat down leisurely and drank tea, and when the eunuch Zhang Xiao came over, he asked him to hand it to the harem. Zhang Xiao was originally a eunuch of the Inner Servant Province on an errand in Penglai Palace, and it was easy to enter and exit, and then he was sent by Xue Chongxun to assist Yu Wenxiao in the office of the Inner Factory in Daming Palace. In addition to ten days of vacation, Zhang Xiao has to come to the inner factory yamen every day, but it is too boring here, and the gang around Yu Wenxiao has nothing to say to him, if there is nothing to sit down and leave.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Zhang Xiao didn't come, but he saw a little lady coming, only to see that her walking posture was not as careful and reserved as a court woman, who is not Bai Qimei?
It is said that things gather people in groups, Yu Wenxiao and Bai Qimei were originally people who ate together on the same road, although there was a time when you made a fuss, and you had to meet in the end. It's really impermanent, in the past, Yuwen Xiao put his own children and daughters in his mouth, but when he entered the officialdom, he had to put them to death and then quickly, but after several twists and turns, he really looked down and didn't look up, and he would inevitably avoid it...... Is this another legendary fate?
Young and beautiful woman you can never limit her future and ending yu wenxiao saw bai qimei walking in with a very strange smile his old face became stern under his embarrassment. Of course he is not afraid of this Bai Qimei, even if she mixes into Xue Chongxun's side, Yuwen Xiao may not be willing to treat her as a character, you don't know who your biological parents are, even if you are a little lady of unknown origin, even if you are favored, can you compare to Yuwen Ji, who is justified as the third lady? As Sanniang once said, Yuwen Ji will always be more expensive than them. Don't care what Yu Wenxiao did before, since he can clean his foundation and get an official body, as long as he is not investigated, he can claim to be a businessman with an innocent background, and now who is full to check him, what can he find? Who said that the third lady's father was a big villain and wanted to smear the emperor's face? Looking for death! Yu Wenxiao's life tells the world, don't be nervous about doing too many bad things, the key depends on what kind of life he has in the eight characters of his birthday.
It's just that Yuwen Xiao is still subconsciously wary of Bai Qimei, and he wanted other people's lives at the beginning, as if he couldn't smile and treat it as if nothing had happened. G
