Let me catch a worm first..........

......

The Emperor looked at the two tall young men standing in the middle of the hall. A cheerful temperament and a righteous face; A handsome appearance, a casual and uninhibited calm.

These two children look very eye-catching.

"Xia Zitang, Shao Yi." The emperor's tone was very formal, "When he was with Xiu, he did not forget his duty, and he planned to stop a raid in time, which can be a model for young officials." At present, the soldiers promoted Xia Zitang, the captain of Ma Si, to join the army with five ranks, and promoted Shao Yi, the deputy lieutenant, to the sixth rank captain. The two of you should make persistent efforts to live up to the support of the court and the people. ”

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, there was silence below, and then a whisper.

The emperor's mood improved, and everyone was finally able to take a long breath and whisper in the court.

But the content of this whisper is very uncomfortable.

Is the magnitude of the emperor's reward too great?

If I remember correctly, it didn't take long for this Xia Zitang to be promoted to the rank of sixth-rank captain, that is, more than two years, and he was promoted two levels in a row.

How can this make those officials who have been in one position for seven or eight years or more than ten years embarrassed?

What's more, Shao Yi. A year ago, when he asked the court for an official position, it was from the eighth grade, and now from the seventh grade, it has risen rapidly.

But the emperor got six grades all of a sudden, which is a three-level promotion. If you count the previous eight grades, he was hired for less than two years and was promoted to five levels.

If it weren't for the emperor's prestige and the embarrassment, the big guy really wanted to pounce at the emperor's feet and complain: Are you still reasonable?

If you can have such treatment when you are a gentleman, then why do you practice three nines in winter and three dogs in summer? What do you do when you get up early and study martial arts and read military books? What is the purpose of waking up to sleep in the middle of the night and studying hard?

So, after the emperor's words were finished, he saw a pair of wet eyes looking at him, don't you bully people like this?

Ahem, this blows...... It seems to be a bit too much. These old guys won't vomit blood on the spot, right?

The emperor felt a little weak, and it was only at this time that the anger accumulated yesterday was shared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since you can be honored in the court and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country, it means that the court and the people have high hopes for you. If you Aiqing are in charge of state affairs, you can be like Xia Zitang and Shao Yi, and you can care about government affairs even if you are not on duty, then the world will be peaceful and the people will be healthy. ”

Xia Zitang secretly wiped his sweat, the height of the emperor's evaluation made him feel more pressure, it seems that he will have to continue to work harder in the future.

Then, the emperor's tone turned serious: "You Aiqing should take the two cases mentioned today as a warning, and put state affairs and people's livelihood first. As for the foundation of Huang Zheng's involvement in the case and the two dead soldiers, it must be strictly investigated, and once it is verified, it will be severely punished. ”

The courtiers responded to the peace, and the inspirational words such as "I will live up to His Majesty's high expectations", "I am willing to smear the liver and brain of the court", "I will be diligent in government affairs", etc., are full of inspirational words that I don't know if they are fake or not.

The emperor got up and waved his hand, "Let's disperse." ”

Sun Congshan hurriedly raised his voice: "Retreat." Then he turned and followed the Emperor's footsteps and left.

…………

King Jiang and King Chengjun had no positions in the court, so they did not participate in the early dynasty, but King Jing was present.

He had seen Shao Yi's value in the emperor's place earlier, although he had failed in the two solicitations, he had no intention of giving up, and thought that maybe he was too anxious, and he should slowly improve his personal feelings, and then mention the matter of government affairs and standing in line.

The arrest of the robbers in Hushan yesterday made King Jing feel that even if he couldn't get around for the time being, it was necessary for him to get closer to Shao Yi.

didn't know that the emperor would announce Xia Zitang and Shao Yi to the main hall just because more than 20 robbers were arrested.

Alas, it is more difficult to recruit Shao Yi now. Through this period of understanding of Shao Yi, if he is grateful for the emperor's care and promotion of him, I am afraid that he will only obey the emperor's orders in the future. In the future, when he is in a high position, he can only support the emperor's favorite heir, maybe that person is King Yan.

King Jing regretted it very much, his attention to Shao Yi was still a little late, if he could give him and the Shao family care when Shao Yi was fighting with the Xiangjun Mansion in order to survive, with Shao Yi's rather righteous character, he should be able to follow him with all his heart.

Now, we can only take one step at a time and look for another opportunity.

…………

Compared with King Jing's entanglement, King Jiang, as the ministers expected, was not only embarrassed, but also panicked.

King Jing's Mansion, in the main courtyard, King Jiang and Princess Jiang sat opposite each other, and they had been silent for a while.

In the end, it was Princess Jiang who broke the silence: "The concubine should not have listened to the bewitchment of Prince Xiang in the first place, but now it has caused the prince to lose face and was secretly laughed at by the ministers of the court." ”

King Jiang shook his head, his expression a little gloomy: "When I was a prince today, I had a deep mind. These years of peace have made this king negligent and unguarded. ”

said that the matchmaker was nothing, and he should have been more cautious at that time. Take a good look at the emperor's attitude towards Shao Yi, and then carefully investigate whether Huang Zheng and Huang Qiurong's conduct is reliable, and then decide whether to be this medium.

Even if the profit of the eye hot glass, it must be guaranteed by the family, otherwise, what is the use of earning the silver that is not spent on life?

It's too late to say anything now, Huang Ying, a slut, with such a noble status as a princess, has been fighting with a pair of orphans and widows for so many years to no avail, but instead pulled him into the water.

The emperor did this on purpose, the Criminal Department tried the case, no matter the officials of the Criminal Department, as well as those criminal officials, and related personnel, every person involved, one person could see King Jiang being slapped in the face.

"The Criminal Department has already started to take people today, and the criminals will be arraigned tomorrow. What should you do? Otherwise, you call yourself sick first, see the emperor's attitude, and then make plans. Princess Jiang said.

Anyway, the prince is also the elder of today's saints, and the prince is sick, maybe the emperor will think more, and it is unknown if he is soft-hearted and lets the prince go.

King Jiang smiled bitterly: "The emperor is warning this king, warning Prince Xiang and some people with ulterior motives." If this king does not go, he will not be able to achieve the deterrent effect that the saint wants. With the emperor's means, if you want to charge this king, isn't it easy? ”

The emperor shouldn't want his life, but he doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the clan anymore.

If he is not in charge of the affairs of the clan, where can anyone take him seriously anymore?

Therefore, knowing that he went to the Criminal Department to slap people in the face, he had to do nothing, and went to see his in-laws who he and the princess strongly recommended to Shao Yi, the virtuous and high-spirited Huang Zheng was tried for many dirty cases of corruption and perversion of the law, and received ridicule and ridicule from all kinds of people, either explicitly or covertly.

………

After the seventeenth day of the lunar month was dispersed, the Criminal Department did not dare to slack off at all, and first arrested Huang Zheng to the case, and then found Liu Xie's imperial city guards to contact Huang Zheng's investigation.

Next, when the atmosphere of the New Year should have begun to be created, the court was full of noise and gloom.
