Chapter Eighty-Eight: Good Words (Second Watch)

Because of the position of Jingzhao Yin's mansion, the DPRK and China played for three days in a row, and finally on this day, the result was out.

The emperor announced that Xu Zizhou entered the palace, in the imperial study, the monarch and the minister did not know what to say, and said for more than an hour, after Xu Zizhou stepped out of the imperial study, the emperor then issued a holy decree and promoted Xu Zizhou to Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin.

The emperor made a direct decision, and the courtiers were in an uproar.

Twenty-year-old Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin, a twenty-year-old third-grade member, this is unique in Houliang.

Who isn't shocked?

Who doesn't blush?

Who isn't jealous?

Except for a few people who knew about Ling Hua's step-by-step plan, the rest of them were stunned by the news. Especially in the East Palace, Xiao Ze never thought that the position of Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin would fall on Xu Zizhou, and he didn't include Xu Zizhou in the selection of people for defense at all.

In the past few days, the dark tide in the court has been surging and several forces are playing back and forth, and there is no name of Xu Zizhou in how many names have been proposed. Because he is not qualified enough and is too young, no one will want him to sit in Jingzhao Yin's mansion.

Only Ling Hua, she dared to think, and she dared to plan step by step, and calculated this position to Xu Zizhou.

Xiao Ze was incredulous, "How could my father give Jing Zhaoyin's position to Xu Zizhou?" ”

The staff of the East Palace were also very confused, "The holy decree said that Xu Shaoyin is talented and extraordinary, and he is exceptionally promoted. ”

"What a talented and capable person." Xiao Ze angrily dropped the teacup, "My father used Ling Painting three years ago, and now he has promoted Xu Zizhou, is this to break the rules of the court?" ”

The staff trembled in their hearts, but they still stubbornly said, "Exceptional promotion, before the rear beam, there is also a precedent." Your Majesty is not a break in the rules of the court. ”

Xiao Ze's face was ugly, "When Xu Zizhou and Shen Yi'an entered Beijing to take the exam three years ago, they didn't invest in any of them, they were unknown before the scientific examination, and after the scientific examination, they were tantamount to being born out of thin air. ”

"Then don't move, Your Highness is seeking stability now, don't make Your Majesty unhappy again." The staff has been terrified in the past few days, after all, Qian Geng's death has given them a blow to the head, and all the hearts of the East Palace who smashed are out of breath, and the punishment of beheading has not been completely dead, and His Majesty has never used such a cruel criminal law since he ascended the throne.

"That's it." Xiao Ze listened to the advice of his staff when he heard this, he really couldn't make his father unhappy anymore, it was only a few days later, and the case of Ling Hua's assassination was not over yet, and he was not safe.

After Xiao Ze calmed down his anger, he ordered to go down and let the people of the East Palace faction not be allowed to make trouble with the emperor, so although the people in the East Palace were not peaceful, they listened to Xiao Ze's words and all quieted down.

And many old ministers in the court, who are not from the East Palace faction, naturally jumped into the palace to persuade His Majesty to take back the holy order, saying that Xu Zizhou was too young to be able to take the position of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion Yunyun.

The Emperor unceremoniously dismissed everyone's remarks.

The courtiers are unwilling, Xu Zizhou is a poor student, he climbs too fast, it makes people blush too much, if the children of the courtiers' families don't have him to climb, he comes up and occupies this position, so the future can still be good?

So, some courtiers objected in a roundabout way, and even moved Ling Hua and Yan Qing out, "Your Majesty, Xu Zizhou is too young, Your Majesty values him, and handed over the case of the assassination of Miss Ling and Yan Xiaohou to him, but he let the four living people in the prison die, and now the case can't be investigated, even if he is not punished, he should not be promoted to his official position, so that he can be promoted exceptionally." ”

The emperor had his own considerations, and bet on the mouths of the courtiers in one sentence, "It is precisely because of Chen Qiaoyue on top of his head that this case has reached this point." Now that there is no one above his head to restrain him, his talents can be better displayed. ”

The courtier did not give up, "Your Majesty, having said that, but the case of the assassination of Miss Ling and the Marquis of Yan has not been resolved until now, does Your Majesty continue to let Xu Zizhou investigate this case?" If His Majesty has this plan, then the old minister thinks that His Majesty should set a time for Xu Zizhou, such as one month, if Xu Zizhou can't find out this case, and the position of Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin is still not suitable for him, please ask Your Majesty to demote him. ”

What the courtiers thought was that this case was obviously tricky, involving the East Palace, even if His Majesty didn't say it in the early court, but the courtiers could see it, otherwise how could the close ministers of the East Palace be cut in half? Your Majesty has now made up his mind, the holy decree has been issued, and Xu Zizhou has been promoted, even if they oppose it again, I am afraid that it will be the same as Ling Hua three years ago, it will have no effect, it is better to find trouble for Xu Zizhou, let him continue to investigate this case, investigate well, offend the East Palace, investigate a lot, and be demoted, and the goal will be achieved.

The emperor didn't want to abolish the crown prince, so naturally he wouldn't let Xu Zizhou go to check the East Palace, officialdom is like a battlefield, what the courtiers are thinking, he also understands that since Xu Zizhou has been promoted, he has to be used in a down-to-earth manner, and he can't just be pushed to the opposite side of the East Palace and make him the second Ling Hua, so that Xiao Ze can't tolerate him.

The emperor said in a deep voice, "The case of Ling Hua's assassination was that Green Forest bought Chen Qiaoyue, and I promoted Xu Zizhou exceptionally, and I didn't intend to want him to continue to stare at this case, you also know that this case involves Green Forest, it is not a trivial matter, Green Forest is quite powerful in the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court cannot be without scruples, after all, moving Green Forest, involving the whole body, I plan to hand over this case to Dali Temple, let Dali Temple discuss the charter, in short, no matter whether the green forest is moved or not, how to move the green forest, the black thirteen people, must be subdued." ”

The emperor knew that this matter involved the East Palace, and Ling Hua suspected that there were dead soldiers raised by the Wen family, and now the four living mouths were wiped out because the East Palace bought Chen Qiaoyue, and Chen Qiaoyue was beheaded by him on the same day, as long as he didn't spit out Xiao Ze and the Wen family, then Xiao Ze and the Wen family would be cut off from Chen Qiaoyue.

Now, he can't abolish the prince because of this, but he always has to give Ling Hua an explanation, besides, there is also the Queen Mother, although it was Ling Hua who assassinated, but the injury was light, and the Queen Mother is not confused, and now I am afraid that I also know about the East Palace, and I didn't find him in front of him to say this, obviously I am also watching how he handles it, if it is not handled well, he will not do it.

He hadn't thought about Xiao Ze's punishment yet, but for the Black Thirteen of the Green Forest, he could naturally ignore the arrest warrant placed first.

Although the green forest is difficult to deal with, it is just a reckless river and lake, and those who dare to assassinate the court should pay the price.

This matter will not be handed over to Xu Zizhou, but will be handed over to Dali Temple, if it is handled well, it will also give Shen Yi'an a chance to make meritorious contributions.

The two pearls of the rear beam must go hand in hand.

Although the courtiers objected to Xu Zizhou's promotion to Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin in vain, they still groped through His Majesty's attitude that His Majesty would not move the East Palace, and the crown prince's position was still very stable, and it seemed that His Majesty really favored the prince.

The next day, Dali Temple accepted the case file transferred by Jing Zhaoyin, and the emperor specified that Shen Yi'an should accept the case.

Xu Zizhou personally sent the dossier to Dali Temple.

Shen Yi'an smiled and said congratulations to Xu Zizhou, and then took the file and left Xu Zizhou for tea.

Xu Zizhou lowered his voice and said in a voice that the two of them could hear, "Brother Shen is smarter than you, and he must have guessed the intention of His Majesty's move." ”

Shen Yi'an could guess a little and sighed, "It's not easy." ”

Ling Hua used the opportunity to bite the East Palace and the Wen family, or in other words, to use the opportunity to pick up the skin of the East Palace and the Wen family to plan for Xu Zizhou to sit in the position of Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin, although it was a last resort, but the price was not small, Xu Zizhou was at the right time. And even if His Majesty intends to promote him through this case, he must come up with a satisfactory answer. As we all know, green forests are not easy to deal with.

The black market in Jiangbei and then the green forest in the northwest stretches for thousands of miles, which is a network of rivers and lakes. The official uniform has always been treated neither hard nor soft, but now if you want to be tough, you can't be too hard, cause turmoil in the rivers and lakes, and then affect the people of the court, and you can't be too soft, otherwise you won't be able to achieve the role of a warning.

Black Thirteen is a figure with a head and a face in the green forest, and since he has escaped back to the green forest, it is not easy to arrest.

Xu Zizhou understood, and continued to lower his voice and said, "Brother Shen might as well find Miss Ling to sit another day, Miss Ling is in charge of Jiangnan Caoyun and often deals with the green forest, it has been three years, she knows more about the green forest, and she is more successful." ”

This is for him to learn from Ling Hua.

Shen Yi'an nodded, "I really have to find it in the next place." ”

Three years ago, he and Xu Zizhou inherited the love of Lingyun Shen and half of the teacher, the reason why they were able to climb so fast in the past three years was also to fight with Ling Hua and Donggong Ming, and often dealt with Jingzhao Yin Dali Temple, and there were many people sent to prison, and the vacated positions were related, to put it bluntly, although they themselves were talented, but thanks to her more or less pushing from the side, they could let him sit in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and let Xu Zizhou sit in the position of Jingzhao Yin Shaoyin.

In the future, if you climb to a higher position, only rely on His Majesty's status as a poor student of the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and if you don't fall alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to climb up, but if you have Ling Hua behind your back, it's different, if you can take a shortcut, why bother to break your bones? Anyway, they owe the Ling family kindness, and they are tied to the line of Ling Hua in this life.

Xu Zizhou knew that Shen Yi'an was the same as him, and he was not high, so he was relieved, "I'm waiting for Brother Shen's good news." ”

Shen Yi'an smiled, "Borrow Brother Xu's auspicious words." ”
