Chapter 52: The Imperial Historical Observatory

The Great Qi Imperial Historical Observatory was re-established during the Huizong Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Emperor Taizong's reign, the capital procuratorate was abolished, and the power of supervision of hundreds of officials was attributed to the Zongren Mansion, and the power of the clan reached its peak for a while.

When Huizong ascended the throne, because his father Emperor Zhaozong's heirs were thin, only two princes survived, and the other was a concubine, and his biological mother was just a favored Jieyu before her death, so Huizong chose to reinstate the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and in the third year, he changed the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Imperial Historical Observatory, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and upholding discipline.

And the Imperial Historical Observatory has always been only responsible for the emperor, although he has only heard about it, but the power in his hand is actually very large, even if it is a small official who is not in the stream, the book is also qualified to go directly to the heavens.

These people in the Yushitai have always had their eyes above the top, and their eyes are empty, even if they are directly admonished by the Taiji Palace, they do not have to be punished.

Zhao Ying clearly remembered that in the twelfth year of Chenghui, there was a big case, and finally the spearhead was pointed at the imperial historian Xie Guangzheng, Xuanzong once wanted to abolish the imperial history platform, but when it arrived, it was not over.

Zhou Yan fidgeted, she could understand, but she wouldn't understand.

Zhao Ying's toes kicked on the leg of the chair, and when she handed it over, she made a muffled sound: "Lord Zhou, is the question I asked so difficult to answer?" ”

Song Huaiyong is actually a little overwhelmed.

Zhou Yan is a few years older than him, and he is usually a gentle, gentle and elegant person, and his voice will not be raised.

He coughed, signaling Zhao Ying not to speak too seriously.

Zhao Ying turned a deaf ear, and still looked coldly in the direction of Zhou Yan: "Lord Zhou? ”

"Chen Shide, the Cabinet ...... Wechen didn't know. Zhou Yan pressed his eyelids down, "The cabinet ministers, no one dares to talk about it in private, as for Lord Chen...... In the past, Lord Chen served as the middle of the imperial history, which was quite controversial, and later caused such a thing, and some people in Shuntianfu would discuss it privately. ”

Chen Shide is a person, and Zhao Ying can't understand it better.

When she assisted Zhao Che, the first thorn in her eye was Chen Shide.

At that time, it was difficult, mainly because Zhao Cheng took advantage of the Jiang family's momentum, and out of nowhere he scavenged a lot of so-called evidence that Zhao Che had been misbehaving since he was a child and was spoiled, as well as hers and even Shen Mingren's.

Later, she learned that it was all Chen Shide's credit.

Now it seems—

Zhao Ying's expression froze, and he immediately thought of something, and asked him in a cold voice: "Is Xihualou also the Bai family's property?" ”

Zhou Yan was stunned, and nodded for a long time: "It seems that the gambling house Qinglou, and even the drama troupe, are all industries that want to go to Shuntianfu to cross the Ming Road."

In fact, all commercial houses and private households have to go to Shuntianfu to pass by, but there are also serious people who can't register in Shuntianfu......"

"The reason why the business is not registered is to avoid taxes, and generally it will not cause any trouble, and it can save a lot of money every year, and if you really get into a lawsuit, you can make up for it, and the business of the lower nine streams will not succeed, which I know."

Zhao Ying stopped him, and propped his elbow on the round table again: "That's why I kidnapped people last night, and this morning Lord Zhou brought people to the door, and people have already been sent to Xihualou, it seems that they were sent overnight." ”

And the reason why Zhao Cheng was able to get those messy news in his previous life was probably because Chen Shide got it by supporting these three-tier businesses.

He relied on the status of the Imperial Historical Observatory to provide business convenience for these gambling houses, and he could also make money with dividends every year, and at the same time, he could also rely on these places to collect the information he wanted.

After figuring out this layer, Zhao Ying only felt suddenly enlightened for a while.

The coldness between her eyebrows gradually dissolved, and she finally smiled and became much more polite: "Anyway, today is still troublesome Lord Zhou, if there is anything to do when I turn back, I am afraid that I will trouble Lord Zhou, and when the matter is over, I will invite Lord Zhou to a banquet." ”

Zhou Yan stood up, bowed down, and bowed: "Your Highness has orders, and Wechen should do his best, not to mention that these are trivial things, and Wechen really doesn't dare to be His Highness." ”

Besides, it's all polite greetings, Zhao Ying is not interested in you pushing me around, and Zhou Yan doesn't dare to be polite to her.

So Song Huaiyong played the round and sent Zhou Yan out.

As soon as the person left, the smile on Zhao Ying's face froze.

Song Leyi patted the back of her hand: "Take a good breath, don't always be angry about these things, it's all your own if you are upset." ”

Zhao Ying took two breaths of relief and went out: "I'm not angry, I just feel cold." ”

Song Leyi was about to add new tea to her small cup, and when she heard this, she made a gesture in her hand: "So you think that Chen Shide supported the Laixing Gambling House to set up a set for you?" ”

Zhao Ying shook her head, and when she was about to say that it wasn't all, Song Huaiyong pushed the door and came back.

She subconsciously looked sideways, and saw that Song Huaiyong was also helpless, she was slightly stunned, and vaguely understood something, and raised her eyebrows and only asked him: "Lord Zhou thinks I am so young, but I am so imposing?" ”

Song Huaiyong paced to the round table, sat down while holding the cup and pouring tea: "What does he have to think that you are imposing, you are a princess, he is a subordinate, and you should be respectful." ”

Zhao Yinghu was suspicious: "Then I see that you are helpless, isn't it good when you go out?" ”

"Feng Gong said that today's events will be spread, but he is afraid that his career will be more bumpy."

Song Huaiyong shook his head helplessly, and sighed in a low voice: "He is different from you, and he is different from me."

Didn't you say that he was afraid of a bumpy future, so he didn't dare to tell you the truth, and I listened to you and stopped asking about the cabinet later, thinking that you were thinking about this, so I didn't ask. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ying said no: "He even told me Chen Shide, and he didn't miss the cabinet, but it wasn't because I understood him that he didn't ask." ”

Her eyelids lifted, a little absent-minded: "I want to go to the owner who came to Xing Gambling House for a while." ”

Song Huaiyong's eyelids jumped, and Song Leyi hurriedly said no: "What will you do?" Look at what these people are doing, are you still rushing up? ”

"I said that people set up a trap for us, why don't you dare to rush up?"

Zhao Ying didn't seem to be at ease at all, and regardless of the eagerness on the faces of the Song family brothers and sisters, they were faint from beginning to end, and even laughed out loud: "It's not necessarily right now that I think about it, maybe it was just for the He family at the beginning, or even for the Liu family-"

When she stopped at the end, the soft voice came to an abrupt end.

Song Huaiyong and Song Leyi glanced at each other, and they didn't understand it completely, so they pursed their lips and said: "I can take you to meet someone tomorrow, maybe you don't need to come forward to meet the Bai family, if it doesn't work out, let's discuss it again?" ”

Zhao Ying's heart moved slightly: "What person?" ”

"Du Saburo of Corningbourg House."
