The weather in February was a bit gloomy, and on the deserted canal, a passenger boat was lonely on the water, and the boatman rowed his oars hard, lapping the water and making a rattling sound. The fastest and most stable update is to see the latest chapter of Perfect World.

On the deck of the bow of the ship, a handsome scribe dressed in a white coat stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes stared at the river in front of him, his eyes were a little wandering, and the passenger ship would arrive in the capital in two or three days, and he could finally show his strength in the center of the Ming Dynasty and realize his dreams and ambitions.

"Master, the river breeze is cold, don't get cold." A moment later, a beautiful woman in a red coat stepped out of the cabin and smiled at the handsome scribe.

"Green Calyx, when the young master left the capital, did you ever think that one day the young master would be able to kill a horse pistol!" Li Yuntian smiled and hugged the green calyx and said in high spirits.

"The concubine thought about it, but she didn't expect the young master to come back so soon, and she also became the superintendent of the imperial history." Lu Caojiao laughed, recalling the scene when Li Yuntian was in the second grade of high school in the palace examination three years ago, as if it was just yesterday.

It's just that now things are wrong, Li Yuntian is no longer the depressed nerd, and she is no longer a humble personal maid, she has become a dignified Zhao'an from Daming, even if the magistrate sees her, he has to salute respectfully.

"Supervising the imperial history is just a stepping stone, sooner or later, the young master will have to firmly grasp the authority of the Ming Dynasty in his hands!" Li Yuntian stretched out the palm of his right hand, slowly clenched it in front of the green calyx, and said loudly.

Lu Calyx nodded vigorously, although she still didn't understand why Li Yuntian said that supervising the imperial history was a "stepping stone", and she didn't know that only by becoming a speech official could she become a high-ranking official in the court, but she believed that Li Yuntian would definitely be able to achieve his wish.

"On this cold day, the two of you are really in good spirits, blowing a cool breeze here, and you are not afraid of getting the wind cold." Not long after, a coquettish laughter sounded from behind the two, and the green calyx's cheeks turned red, and he hurriedly pushed Li Yuntian away.

"Can I understand that you're jealous?" Li Yuntian turned around and looked at Zhou Yuting who came over with a smile.

"If you want to be beautiful, I won't eat the vinegar of a stinky man like you." Zhou Yuting, dressed in a white coat, rolled her eyes at Li Yuntian, stepped forward and hugged the green calyx, "Let's go, let's go in and play chess, let him stay here alone." ”

Seeing that Zhou Yuting said that Li Yuntian was a stinky man, Lu Cao couldn't help but smile when she said that she was not jealous, but in fact, she cared more about Li Yuntian than anyone else, if Li Yuntian dared to flirt with a woman outside, Zhou Yuting would definitely be powerful.

Speaking of which, Lu Calyx, Chen Ningning, and Zheng Wanrou can be granted the title of the wife by the decree of Emperor Yongle and the loss of Zhou Yuting, because Zhou Yuting is already a super county lord, so naturally there is no need for the seal of the wife, so Emperor Yongle gave this honor to the three of them.

Looking at Zhou Yuting and Green Calyx, who entered the cabin with a smile, Li Yuntian shook his head helplessly, it seems that Zhou Yuting's character is difficult to change, I hope that she will cause less trouble for herself after arriving in the capital, the capital is not as good as Jiujiang Mansion, and she may provoke any high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

However, fortunately, he holds the title of supervising the imperial history, don't look at the low grade of the supervising imperial history, but he is the eyes and ears of the emperor, although he belongs to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is directly responsible for the emperor, and he is in charge of discipline and supervision.

There are two types of people that the civil and military officials in the capital are most reluctant to provoke, one is the official who supervises the imperial history and the six branches, they are the closest group to the emperor in the capital, if they attack in a group, any high-ranking officials and dignitaries will not be able to withstand this kind of pressure.

The other type of people is the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, they are the close ministers of the emperor, that is, the leaders of the "Qingliu" who are often referred to, the leaders of the scholar class, stay by the emperor's side to do things, and win the trust of the emperor.

Therefore, Li Yuntian must find a way to become the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, only in this way can he climb to the pinnacle of power, otherwise it will become a huge chasm in front of him, and it is also a regret that is difficult to let go.

Two days later, the passenger ship arrived at the dock in the capital, and the people from the Houyefu were already waiting on the pier and took Li Yuntian and his party back to the city.

Because Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou can't stand the bumps in the road now, the two stay in Baishui Town to have a baby, and then come to the capital to get together after giving birth.

In the evening, Zhou Zheng specially held a reception banquet for Li Yuntian in the Hou Mansion, and Lu Cao was also invited to attend because she became the wife of the imperial court.

Zhou Zheng was very happy at the wine table, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to become the superintendent of the imperial history so quickly, which made him really look at it in front of those noble and important ministers, you must know that the threshold of the Imperial Procuratorate is very high, but not everyone can enter.

Moreover, those supervising imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate often find trouble with the noble ministers of the capital, and write to impeach them for all kinds of misconduct, if it were not for the Yongle Emperor to protect those noble ministers, they would definitely be very wolfed.

Now that Li Yuntian has entered the Imperial Inspectorate and has become a supervising imperial historian, Zhou Zheng can be regarded as having his own people in the Imperial Procuratorate, and if he encounters anything in the future, there will be a room for slowing down, so as not to tear his face to the point of tearing his face, after all, those supervising the imperial history are not saints who do not eat the fireworks of the world, and they also pay attention to the friendship of the same year and colleagues.

Early the next morning, Li Yuntian dressed neatly under the service of the green calyx, first went to the ministry to report, and then took the documents of the ministry to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take office.

There are several Li Yuntian's fellow friends in the ministry, and when he was waiting for his errands, they came to see him one after another, congratulating him on coming to the capital to take up his post, no one expected that Li Yuntian would return to the capital so quickly, and he also became the superintendent of the sixth grade, and he was the fastest promoted person among the Jinshi of Xin Chouke.

Especially for Li Yuntian's "Lime Yin" chanted in the face of Cui Hui's threat, those young friends of the same department were full of praise.

With the dispute between Cui Hui and Yang Demin's respectful request for the Holy Judge, this poem has spread all over the capital, and everyone is clear about Cui Hui's persecution of Li Yuntian and Green Calyx in the public court that day, which not only makes Cui Hui have a bad reputation as a cool official, but also shows Li Yuntian's noble integrity of not being powerful.

In particular, "I am not afraid of broken bones, and I want to leave my innocence in the world", which made the civil officials highly respected, and also made those high-ranking scholars and doctors in the capital remember Li Yuntian's name.

In a sense, Cui Hui's attack on Li Yuntian invisibly made Li Yuntian, making him stand out among the civil and military officials in the capital and win a good reputation.

The east and west sides of the central royal road between Chengtianmen and Daming Gate are built with a thousand-step corridor of 700 steps through the eaves through the ridge, which is connected to the left gate of Chang'an in the east and the right gate of Chang'an in the west.

There are 110 courtrooms on both sides of the thousand-step corridor, and there are 34 north-facing courtrooms on each side of the front section extending to the east and west, for the civil and military officials to rest when they go to court.

Outside the palace walls on both sides of the thousand-step corridor is the location of the yamen of the major ministries in the capital.

Outside the east palace wall are the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Zongren Mansion, the Qin Tianjian Department, the Tai Hospital, the Hanlin Yuan and other civil service yamen.

Outside the west palace wall is the criminal department, the five military governor's office, the metropolitan procuratorate, the Dali Temple and other military performance of the yamen.

Li Yuntian took the official document to report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate after the matter was done in the Criminal Department, although the door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate looked very ordinary, and he did not want to be as grand as the five mansions and six ministries, but no one in the capital dared to underestimate the civil and military officials.

Although Li Yuntian was wearing a six-grade official uniform, he was still stopped by the sergeant of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and asked him to show his identity and intention, not everyone can come in here.

After knowing that Li Yuntian was the newly appointed superintendent of the imperial history, a sergeant hurriedly led him to the Experience Division and met Shen Hong, who was experienced in the Experience Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Shen Hong was in his forties, of medium stature, with some dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and two mustaches.

Shen Hong, like Li Yuntian, is an official of the sixth grade, and generally speaking, the officials of the supervision of the imperial history are the officials of the seventh grade, because they are all selected from the new science and technology scholars, so it is rare to see supervision officials like the sixth grade.

Shen Hong is also a two-list jinshi, has been working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for nearly 20 years, and has been in charge of the Experience Division for almost ten years, and has a lot of experience in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The promotion of the supervision of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is different from that of ordinary officials, such as the officials of the six ministries and local yamen, they are usually promoted from level to level, while the supervision of the imperial history is different, although their level is only the seventh grade, but as long as they do a good job, once they are released, they will be promoted by leapfrogging, and they are not comparable to ordinary officials.

This is also why Shen Hong is in his forties and is still only a positive sixth grade, it is not that he has no opportunity to be released, but he is unwilling to leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a close service institution around the emperor.

With Shen Hong's qualifications, if you want to go out, you Yankuai is a prefect of the fourth grade, and I don't know how many places to envy people who have sharpened their heads and want to climb up.

Shen Hong was very enthusiastic about people, and after introducing Li Yuntian to the general situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he led him to the public house of Huguang Dao to supervise the imperial history, and introduced him to the Huguang Dao supervising imperial history who worked inside.

With the addition of Li Yuntian, there are a total of eight superintendents in Huguang Dao.

According to the custom, among the thirteen imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the number of people in Yunnan Province is the largest, with eleven people; followed by Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Henan and Shandong, with 10 each; followed by Shanxi, Huguang and Shanxi, with eight each; Finally, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Guizhou, each with seven people, for a total of 110 people.

The oldest superintendent of Huguang Dao is Lu Zhong, who is in the same department as Shen Hong, the first batch of Jinshi in Yongle Nian, with a big belly and a very kind smile, he has already asked his subordinates to go to the private room, and at night with his colleagues in Huguang Dao to pick up Li Yuntian and wash the dust.

Since Li Yuntian had just arrived, Lu Zhong asked a superintendent named Han Liang to accompany Li Yuntian to walk around the Metropolitan Courtyard, recognize the road, and familiarize himself with the layout.

In Huguang Dao, Han Liang's qualifications are only above Li Yuntian, he is a jinshi of the Wuxu Branch, one year higher than Li Yuntian, and Cui Hui is in the same department, and after four years of internship in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was appointed to supervise the imperial history.

"Hmph, it's just a little white face who climbed up by nepotism, when did it become popular to eat soft rice in our Duchayuan?" Just as Han Liang led Li Yuntian through a corridor, a shrill voice came from the courtyard on the side, and his tone was full of disdain. One
