Xiao Lingyan said, "This person has never stood on the side of the faction, he is upright and upright, and he is loyal to your father. He is extremely good at investigating cases. If you want to come and go to the border pass, those ghosts and ghosts will definitely show their original form. ”

Xiao Qi asked, "But he is the secretary of Dali Temple." When he leaves, who will take care of the big file of Dali Temple? ”

In the past few days, taking advantage of the preparation of grain and grass, the ministers of various factions have really appeared on the stage, and they have done their best for their own interests, trying to stuff their own ministers into it as a team leader, transporting grain and grass, and investigating the situation. This is especially true of the people on the side of the crown prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince.

While Xiao Qi quietly watched their performance, he was also thinking about who would be the best to send to the border gate.

The men of the three parties must be sent, and each side must send one person. If you don't send it, how can you see their next wonderful performance?

But Xiao Qi knew that if he wanted to save the lives of 100,000 soldiers at the border pass and keep the border pass from being breached, the leader sent to the border pass must be a royalist, impartial, and convincing the public, and he must be super capable.

Although he had several options in mind for such people, when it came time to make a decision, he doubted whether they had been secretly bought by various factions, or had been promised heavy profits or threats before leaving, so he could not make a decision on the candidates.

Seeing that the grain and grass were ready, and the food delivery team was about to leave, the personnel had not been able to decide, and Xiao Qi was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

If his good sons were able to put the lives of 100,000 soldiers at risk in order to get rid of the second and fifth princes, it was possible to do tricks to prevent these grains and grass from being delivered. This is about the lives of 100,000 soldiers and the peace of the border passes, and there is no room for error.

Zhang Changshen is a person, he has naturally considered it.

This person has a straightforward personality and can't rub sand in his eyes. Because of his outstanding ability and irreplaceability, he is not shy about the forces that come to buy him, and he is the best candidate.

Sending him, Xiao Qi was very relieved.

But that's a few months. As soon as he left, Dali Temple was leaderless, and no one could clean up the chaos.

So he was hesitant.

Xiao Lingyan said: "Wu Zong of the right temple of Dali Temple can be competent. ”

Xiao Qi frowned: "How can this be?" ”

Although there are many officials in the capital, although Wu Zong only has five products, he was at the end of the line in the last dynasty and had no right to speak. But Zhang Changshen is also only a third grade, and Wu Zong is also a number one figure in Dali Temple.

For the capable people of the yamen, Xiao Qi still knows in his heart. In addition, Wu Zong is Kang Shilin's third apprentice, so he naturally has an impression of Wu Zong.

He was a very capable young man, and he had the demeanor of Zhang Changshen. Zhang Changshen also attaches great importance to him, and even trains him as his successor.

But Wu Zong was still too young; The most important thing is that his superiors in front of him, the left Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, are still there, and even if Zhang Changshen leaves Beijing, it will not be Wu Zong's turn to take charge of Dali Temple.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Father should have considered sending Master Zhang to the border gate, right? Why didn't you decide? It's nothing more than that the two young masters of Dali Temple can't afford the mess of Dali Temple. Although we also pay attention to seniority as officials, we are more about ability, right? Especially in the Dali Temple, there is no room for people who eat vegetarian meals. ”

"The left and right Shaoqing lack ability, and it is only because their family is powerful in the court that they have occupied a high position for many years. Dajin is the world of our Xiao family, but it is not something that their family can control. In the past, it was okay, but now they have to send Zhang Changshen out, and they can't afford it, so they have to let one of them make way for Wu Zong. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi smiled bitterly, nodded at Xiao Lingyan and said, "You, you're really a child." Do you think I'm willing to be held hostage? Dajin Jiangshan is our right, but the family made a lot of efforts when it built the world, and now it has been operating for many years, and it is intertwined, how can it be said that it will be dismissed? ”

"No dismissal. You can be transferred. The ascension and descent are for them. Zuo Shaoqing Tang Guan is also old tomorrow, he is in his fifties and almost sixty years old, his energy is low, and he is already unable to go out to handle cases. His father promoted him to one and a half levels, and he didn't have a problem thinking about it. ”

Xiao Qi frowned and thought deeply, and nodded: "Okay, I will consider what you say." If it's all right, just step down. ”

"Yes, the retainers are retired." Xiao Lingyan didn't drag his feet, and withdrew after a salute.

After he left, Xiao Qi did not immediately announce the appearance of the minister who had been waiting outside for a long time, but thought for a long time in the main hall alone, and then announced that people came in.

Soon after, Zhang Changshen was summoned by the emperor, and soon the news came that he was appointed as the messenger and led several ministers and five hundred imperial forest troops to the border to deliver grain and grass. Tang Guanming, the original Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Zong, the Cheng of Zuo Temple, was promoted to Zuo Shaoqing and took charge of Dali Temple.

Although this result was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

After all, there is such a big thing at the border pass, and it is impossible for the emperor not to suspect something. It is normal to send a neutral and capable person like Zhang Changshen to the border to deliver grain and investigate the situation.

As for Dali Temple, who is strong and who is only in a high position because of family and seniority, everyone also knows.

The emperor's arrangement is very reasonable.

Only a few princes were restless.

Zhang Changshen turned out to be in Dali Temple, and he was a person who didn't eat oil and salt. Whoever commits a crime in the royal clan or official, no matter who intercedes, he can pout him back, and he can deal with it as he wants. If you stumble on him or threaten him, he will only sentence him more severely, and he will never bow his head.

If he goes to the border, with his ability, he will definitely be able to find out something. When the time comes, won't what they have done be exposed?

"Or, let's give Zhang Changshen to ......" The prince's staff made a head-cutting motion.

Another staff member denied: "What about so many Praetorian Guards, can we do this without alarming anyone?" If someone finds out and has a ghost in his heart and a crime of mutilating the court officials, can His Royal Highness still sit down in the position of the prince? What are your intentions? You weren't sent by another prince to harm His Highness, right? ”

"How do you speak? I think you are. Where have you been? I saw you sneakily muttering with the people of the Three Princes. Is it because of this that you want to beat me up and get rid of me from His Highness? ”

Looking at the two staff members who were arguing, the prince was irritable and wanted to hit someone.

"Get out of here." He shouted.

"Your Highness......" The two who were arguing turned their heads and looked at the crown prince.

"Get out!"

The two men had no choice but to bow and leave. After going out of the door, they glared at each other angrily, snorted coldly in their noses, and left in different directions.
