Song Rui was deeply appreciated by the regent Zichuan that year, and he was promoted extremely quickly, and later entered the Investigation Department of the Internal Affairs Office as the youngest Ziyu general in active service in the Federation, known as the general, so he was able to participate in the major secrets of the imperial court.

Less than a year later, Ren Zichuan died violently. Song Rui was imprisoned for the crime of inadequate protection, exiled to the Northland, and lived in prison for nearly three years.

In the past three years, Song Rui has nothing to do day and night, and all he uses is his brain! The mental improvement after suffering a major setback is really immeasurable.

So now, Song Rui's mind is sharper than it was three years ago.

Moreover, after Song Rui's catastrophe, he unexpectedly encountered a nobleman who was hit, and there was another extraordinary opportunity, and the outside world news was not closed at all, and he knew everything about the affairs in the country in recent years.

At this moment, he had already remembered that Gongcao, surnamed Zhou, should be one of the two pillars of the three princes of the imperial court today, the son of Taiwei Zhou Shixin, I forgot whether it was his third son or the fourth son, before he was placed under house arrest, he was only one of the four county lieutenants under the commander of the county, and he remembered that he was a young man under his twenties, and he didn't expect that in just two or three years, he had climbed to the forefront of Qi Jinlin and became the second most powerful person in Jingjia County.

No wonder Qi Jinlin is angry!

I suddenly remembered that I was just in my early twenties, and I had already worshiped General Ziyu, who was already in the third grade, and then took charge of the Detective Department, one of the two major departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Thinking of this, Song Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "Young people are so hated!" ”

At this time, the carriage stopped again, only to hear the coachman shout: "Captain Majun, Lord Zhou went out of the city to greet the nobles from the capital, and quickly opened the city for Lao Tzu." His voice was rough and tyrannical, with no respect for the other person.

Someone on the other side shouted, "Ah, it turned out to be Lord Captain Qianjun." It's you driving in person today, I'm really sorry, I'll come to greet Lord Zhou right away! There was a hint of sycophancy in the voice.

Captain Qianjun? Song Rui was thinking about it when he heard a sound of smacking snow, and it seemed that several people on the opposite side walked towards the carriage.

It turned out that the carriage had arrived at the gate of the northern city.

Song Rui moved his body imperceptibly, and Qi Jin hurriedly whispered, "Sir, don't be alarmed. Captain Ponyville is our man. ”

Song Rui nodded slowly, sat up straight, and his head drooped slightly, showing the respectful attitude that a subordinate official should have.

Qi Jinlin said in a low voice: "Sir, offended!" Then he raised his head, lifted the specially thickened leather curtain, and pushed open the window.

As soon as the insulated glass window opened, although it was only a narrow gap, the fierce cool air immediately swarmed in. poured in.

Song Rui, who was sitting behind Qi Jinlin, couldn't help but tremble slightly, feeling cold all over his body, and he was cold from his head to his heart.

He frowned, the thumb and index finger of his right hand stroked his left hand, and there was a small silver ring on the ring finger of his left hand. After a few more moments, go up to the top of your head. Down to the center of the foot, the heat flow of the strands traveled around the three bodies and seven bodies, and suddenly felt a lot better.

His face turned red and he looked at Qi Jinlin.

Qi Jinlin sighed secretly, knowing that although Song Rui's skills were not weak in the past, after all, his qi and blood had been locked for three years. I can only borrow this alchemist's small object to keep out the cold.

Song Jiangsi is abolished!

Qi Jinlin felt a little unbearable in his heart, staring out the window with his eyes, and his face was even more serious, as if he didn't know that Song Rui was peeping.

Song Rui frowned again.

To his surprise, Qi Jinlin didn't seem to be breathing. But he can actually regard such a severe cold as nothing, and even the hair on his sideburns does not have half a bit of moisture.

"This Lord Qi, but I don't know what kind of mental method I am good at, and my qi and blood are so vigorous! What did the coachman say, 'Lord Zhou', could it be that Qi Jinlin wanted to disguise himself as Zhou Gongcao to send me out of the city? Song Rui vaguely felt that he seemed to have become part of some conspiracy.

He gritted his teeth secretly, and even then, he could only continue. More than two years of house arrest have exhausted his patience to the extreme.

Although the city is gentle and beautiful, I can't continue to waste my youth!

"It's me." Qi Jinlin didn't have time to pay attention to Song Rui's psychological changes, his voice was very soft, but his tone was very firm, and he looked out the window without hesitation.

At the window, a thin face with a thin beard on his chin appeared, in his twenties, his face was forced to turn yellow by the cold, which clearly showed that he was very afraid of the cold.

This completely unexpected weather is an unbearable ordeal for most people living in Jingjia County.

"My lord......" The yellow face was stunned for a moment, and then obviously changed his words temporarily under Qi Jinlin's hint, "It turned out to be Lord Zhou Gongcao Zhou, yes, yes, the subordinates will go to open the door immediately, and the subordinates will go to open the city gate." He glanced in Song Rui's direction, stretched out his hand and closed the window for the carriage.

This car is very luxurious, and the ice and fire glass on the window is a good creation of Xiuxingguo in recent years, which is longer than the refining device, and has the multiple effects of cold and heat insulation, oxygen permeability and insect repellent. There was no shortage of heating equipment in the car, and once it was completely enclosed, it didn't take long for the warmth to come back.

The two people in the car were silent, listening to the commander of Ma County outside commanding his subordinates, squeaking and pushing the city gate, and words such as "Zhou Gongcao" and "Lord Zhou" floated over from time to time.

The carriage started again. In a few snaps of my fingers, I felt as if the surroundings were suddenly empty, and the whistling gale was significantly stronger.

Out of town.

The carriage traveled smoothly, and after walking for about a mile or two, Qi Jinlin suddenly said, "Song Jiangsi, where do you want to go on this long trip?" ”

Song Rui was stunned, Song Jiangsi, this title is really distant and unfamiliar!

"Lord Qi......"

"Song Jiangsi, don't kill the villain." Qi Jinlin turned sideways, pressed his hands on the cushion between the two, leaned forward, and lowered his head deeply, "There are many eyes and ears in this city, everything is careful, the villain's internal affairs office is stationed in Jingjia City, Sima Qi Jinlin, can not pay full salutes at this moment, so he can only kowtow for the time being, and ask Song Jiangsi to forgive his sins." ”

Song Rui was secretly frightened, it turned out that Qi Jinlin still had this secret identity.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs, nicknamed the "Divine Cover", is the national security agency of the Fuxi Federation, and consists of two divisions: the Investigation Department and the Enemy Division, the Investigation Department is responsible for internal security, and the Enemy Department is responsible for foreign operations. The officials of the Investigation and Auditing Department stationed in each county are commonly known as "Sima" internally, and their terms of reference are not under the jurisdiction of the head of the county.

"Has the Ministry of Internal Affairs fully fallen to the Dingxin faction?"

At the beginning of the establishment of the Fuxi Federation, it was agreed that Fuxi itself would set up ten counties, and the remaining five principalities would each receive four counties, and the entire federation would have a total of thirty counties.

Early years of the Federation. The country of Fuxi is strong and powerful, the monarchs are virtuous and the ministers, and all the principalities are obedient and respectful.

However, since ancient times, there have been no immortal immortals, undefeated families, no immortal monarchs, and no immortal nations.

Fifty-three years ago, the Federation had failed to use troops against the northern powers, the Canghai Empire. Even after Lu Jiyun, the king of Fuxi at that time, was killed in battle, the royal power of the central government has gradually declined, the principalities have become stronger and stronger, and the government of the federation is often controlled by the grand dukes of the subject countries in turn, but the royal family is helpless about it, and the upper and lower lords and subordinates have been reversed.

In this way, they have been hustle and bustle for more than 20 years.

Until thirty years ago, there was an unborn strange man in the federal royal family. That is the great teacher who founded the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wang Shu Lu Kedu, at his suggestion. The Federation established the Three Judicial Chambers, which were presided over by the then ruling Duke Sun Yat-sen, Ren Hongtu, Taiwei Zhou Gang, and the three of them, who presided over the military and political affairs of the Federation.

After that, it became a practice that the ruling public was in charge of government affairs, and the Taiwei was in charge of military affairs. The National Teacher is in charge of the security department.

Such a series of measures did divide a lot of the powers of the ruling Grand Duke, and slightly stabilized the Lu dynasty of the ancient country of Fuxi.

But within twenty years, the situation changed, and the Principality of Zhongshan successively produced several virtuous dukes. The power is getting stronger.

Eleven years ago, Ren Hongtu's son and the second ruling official Ren Zichuan led the army eastward, and after more than ten bitter battles in six years, he defeated the Canghai Empire, not only recovering the lost territory in the past, but also expanding the territory and extending the power straight to the north of the Ring Fog Jade Sea, and then accepting the peace treaty of the Canghai Empire and returning the stone of Suogong.

Ren Zichuan made great achievements with this great achievement, and finally subdued the imperial court, and was promoted to the regent five years ago, and the Fuxi Federation was also forced to change the era of the Yuan Dynasty, called the new calendar. Ren Zichuan's faction has been known as the Dingxin faction since then, and its meaning is self-evident.

Although Ren Zichuan died mysteriously two years later, the title of Grand Duke of Regent was immediately canceled by the imperial court. But the oppressive power from the Principality of Zhongshan did not weaken because of his death.

The current ruling officer, Ling Tian, is far inferior to his father's merits, but his eloquence and appeal are not inferior to any wise man in the Federation, coupled with the huge power of the Dingxin faction left by his father, although there are imperial bureaucrats led by Taiwei Zhou Shixin in the Three Princes to fight with all their might, but if they leave the Internal Affairs Office in charge of the national teacher, they don't look like they can fight against the Duke of Zhongshan.

After the death of his predecessor Zichuan three years ago, Uncle Lu Kewei handed over all the power of the Internal Affairs Office, retired to the countryside, and ignored state affairs. The current national teacher Lu Mingxi is his son and the cousin of King Fuxi of this dynasty, what does he think?

Is it true that the purpose of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which originally existed as a balance between the forces of various parties, has changed?

Song gently hugged Qi Jinlin and said, "I am already a big sin, Lord Qi, the former official rank, just ignore it." ”

Qi Jinlin didn't dare to struggle, raised his head, and looked at Song Rui squarely: "Four years ago, if it weren't for the Song General's selection of the villain to be the detective Sima of this city, the villain would have been belittled and condemned by Zhou Wanzhang for some reason, and even executed. Song Jiangsi has the grace of carrying the villain, the virtue of saving his life, and the villain's whole family is grateful. Today, I can perform this three-kowtow ceremony on behalf of my parents and wife, and I hope that Song will be completed. ”

Song Rui frowned, thought for a while, and finally let go of the other party's arms, and let this Qi Changshi, who was fifteen years older than him, respectfully finish his three kowtows.

Song Rui was the favor of Zichuan for the Duke of Zhongshan, and he was promoted to the Ziyu General just after the weak crown, and then he was placed in the Investigation Department of the Internal Affairs Office as the chief prosecutor, known as the general.

In addition to the old national teacher Lu Kedu, there are many officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs from the consul general to the head of the department, but no one dares to really command him.

However, Song Rui seems to be young and crazy, but in fact, he is relatively quiet and calm. Although the actual decision of the Detective Department is in his hands, he will not act arbitrarily, especially in the large-scale personnel order of appointing the county Sima, and he will not make arbitrary decisions.

The selection, evaluation, deployment and appointment of subordinate officials mainly relied on the three deputies in the department, Si Cheng, who had almost all approved their proposals, except for a few big cities near the capital.

Song Rui had already completely forgotten how Sima of Jingjia County decided on the candidate that day, otherwise he would not have known Qi Jinlin's hidden identity now. (To be continued......)
