Xiao Qinglang glanced at a few people deeply, and said with his sleeves closed: "The emperor intends to let Xu Chu come out, if nothing happens, the court will announce her appointment tomorrow morning." According to what the emperor said in the court, this time he was at least in the ranks of the third-grade officials. ”

In other words, it would be impossible for her to be subservient to others forever and be a servant without an official position. Even if you want to join the three legal divisions, you are like them, you are an official and can discuss political affairs.

The three of them looked at each other when they heard this, but they were not discouraged. After all, even if you are a colleague, as long as you can help with the post-mortem investigation.

The next day, in the palace hall, which stood majestically and glittered in the sun, everyone expressed their opinions and speculations about the murder of the envoy. And the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, now it is rare to stand on a front, and he wants to use the personal relationship with the princess Ayidai before entering the palace as a starting point to put pressure on the northern frontier.

At the same time, the capital successively sent several generals to the northern border passes, each of whom was a capable general under the command of King Qi. Even, even the protector of the country, who has not been in the officialdom for a long time, has put on his battle robe and entered the court to stand by.

In the past, the people were most disgusted with raising troops, after all, as long as there was a war, it was the people who suffered the most. It's just that this time it's different.

Since the emperor got the news that Ayidai had an affair with Yigan Baierdi, but was pregnant with someone else's child, he had people secretly operate between the capital and even various business travelers. Now, from the storyteller to the pawn traders who come and go from the south to the north, everyone knows that the northern Xinjiang humiliates the Great Zhou with an innocent princess, humiliates the royal family, and even wants to overthrow the rule of the Great Zhou.

Even, those that were once gradually forgotten, about how cruel and ruthless the people of northern Xinjiang were to torture and kill the people of the surrounding Xinjiang, have also been mentioned one by one. What's more, there are even rumors that the seventeen countries of Northern Xinjiang are united again, and there is an intention to gather troops and horses to attack the Great Zhou again.

All of a sudden, both officials and ordinary people in the Great Zhou were panicked.

King Qi, who was chatting with his third brother in the gluttonous building, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the discussions in the lobby on the first floor. He put his hand on the railing at will, stared at everyone by the railing, and said disdainfully: "It's just some remnants of the defeated army, and they dare to shout with my Great Zhou Shangguo?" ”

There were only two princes in the Great Zhou, and both of them were famous people. Especially the King of Qi, only forty years on the hand-me-down of the world, from the northern Xinjiang triumphant return, is more than 10,000 people gathered in the capital to see the god of war style.

At this time, even though he was a casual demeanor, the momentum exuded from his body also silenced everyone.

"It's King Qi and King Jing'an." I don't know who it was, so I opened my mouth first and exclaimed.

Immediately, the people who had just been apprehensive about the imperial court's desire to use troops against the northern Xinjiang again, a panicked heart also settled.

"What the prince said is that it's just some defeated soldiers, it's nothing."

"That is, no matter how powerful those people are, they haven't been driven to the depths of Northern Xinjiang by our Da Zhou, and now they only dare not compete with our Da Zhou Erlang on the table. That is, to use some shady means in private. ”

"He's a mother, and he is still trying to use a wild seed to be a prince, and it's a shame that God has the eye to eat the fruits of the princess, otherwise they don't know what else to do."

As long as they thought that those people wanted to let a wild seed from the northern frontier be the king and hegemon in the Great Zhou, they were full of indignation. Especially some of the business travelers who came from Yumen Pass, most of those business travelers have personally experienced the murderous scenes of the Northern Xinjiang people, or they have wives and daughters in the family who have been poisoned by the Northern Xinjiang people, so they really can't kill the Northern Xinjiang people.

As for the use of troops in northern Xinjiang, they are even more in favor of it.

At this point, there was no need for King Qi to say anything more to Xiao Qinglang, and those business travelers promised that as long as the imperial court needed it, they could donate a huge amount of silver as military salaries.

As this wind blew more and more fiercely, by the time the few surviving envoys in northern Xinjiang left the Great Zhou, they had already turned from high-ranking envoys to street rats that everyone spurned. Even if they have money, ordinary people don't want to sell things to them. Even the guys in the post station didn't have a good look at a few people.

At the same time, the seventeen countries of Northern Xinjiang, which were still vigorous and joined forces again, were also stunned when they saw the soldiers and generals coming one after another in the Great Zhou. They just wanted to threaten Da Zhou according to the original plan, who would have expected that Da Zhou would actually move the real thing.

Not to mention the border passes, only to say that the relationship between the Great Zhou and Northern Xinjiang is deadlocked, and it no longer becomes a topic of conversation after dinner. Another rare thing has spread all over the streets.

Played by King Jing'an, the female official who was chartered by the emperor officially had a mansion and a name. Compared with the position of the female inspector of the three law divisions conceived by Xu Chu before, the emperor was obviously much more generous, and directly sealed the female Cheng from the Wupin Dali Temple.

Because Xu Chu was still white at the time of the award, he did not see the resistance and opposition of many people to her entry into the office in the early days of the court.

At that time, led by Zhongshu Ling and Yushitai, and even important ministers who were trusted by the emperor, all refuted this appointment one after another. What's more, some people directly pointed the finger at Xiao Qinglang and reprimanded him for wanting to make women mess with the dynasty.

Xiao Qinglang's face did not change, and he didn't seem to take everyone's reprimand to heart. And the King of Qi was the same, but he sneered and looked at the few defenders who were chewing the words and said: "This king finally knows what a three-inch tongue is, and a few feelings can really say that white is black." It's obviously a woman who can't do it, but she's afraid of a woman who is stronger than herself. If this goes to the battlefield, maybe it's really not as good as a woman. ”

What he said was straightforward, and he didn't like it very much, which directly provoked the faces of the civil officials to look ugly. However, although the civil officials were dissatisfied with his words, they didn't take it to heart, after all, civil officials and military generals have always been like this.

Although the emperor attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs, as long as the interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not involved, it is difficult for civil officials and military generals to get along peacefully. In the final analysis, it is the civilian officials who look down on the rudeness of the military generals, and the military generals who look down on the civilian officials can only play tricks but do not know a little punch and kick.

At this time, with the king of Qi taking the lead in shouting for Xu Chu, the Manchu generals would naturally not dismantle his platform. What's more, now none of them know that the little lady who is a woman dissected the corpse of the Northern Xinjiang people with a white face and hands, and also cut the internal organs of the Northern Xinjiang people.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's for the investigation of the case or what, it can be regarded as treating others in the way of others. It also gave the people of northern Xinjiang a taste of the taste of compatriots being disemboweled.

Thinking about it like this, how can the generals not support her?

And the officials on the side of the Three Law Divisions are even more so. One has witnessed her ability, and the other is that Xiao Qinglang, a great god, is here, and naturally no one will oppose her as an official.

On the other hand, some petty officials who are not ranked in the name and are good at drilling camps will not offend King Qi and King Jing'an, who are trusted by the emperor, for a woman. In their opinion, although it is indeed a bit unbelievable for a woman to be an official, in the final analysis, it is not their business. It is also a good thing to be able to sell personal favors to the two princes.

As a result, there are only some soft and hard, very pedantic and old-fashioned ministers who are still in a stalemate with the emperor.

After a long time, Xiao Qinglang glanced at the minister who knelt on the palace to tell the old man to return to his hometown to threaten the emperor, and said with a chuckle: "This king doesn't know how a woman who has repeatedly solved strange cases, has achieved great achievements, and even exposed one appalling case of rebellion, has become a disaster in your mouth!" ”

"Yushitai said that Xu Chu's entry into the Shishi is harmless, so I want to ask, who of the dozen or so adults in your entire Yushitai has ever discovered the clues of Jinzhou City? Who has single-handedly cracked dozens of earth-shattering cases, or who has found the rhetoric to suppress the arrogance of the people in Northern Xinjiang and establish the Great Zhou Guowei in front of them? ”

"If this king remembers correctly, before Xu Chu was ordered to investigate the case, your colleagues were questioned by the envoys of Northern Xinjiang without face. Even, those envoys even went to your yamen to make trouble? ”

The face of the left and right imperial historians stiffened, holding back the shame and anger, and bowing his neck respectfully, but his tone was not decent, and he retorted: "The old minister is incompetent, since the prince thinks that the woman has such a talent, the old minister is not embarrassed by the emperor, so he resigns." It's better than being an old bone, and being humiliated by a young woman who doesn't know how to make the officials protect each other so much. ”

"I hope that the emperor will allow the ministers to return to their hometowns ......"

Several old ministers with tough attitudes all stepped forward and knelt on the ground, with a look of death as if they were at home, just like the ministers who gave direct advice in the play.

In their eyes, it was a humiliation for them to let a woman be an official with them.

"Alright." Seeing that the attitude of those ministers was getting tougher and tougher, and Xiao Qinglang did not mean to be soft, the emperor directly opened his mouth. He looked at the old minister who was kneeling on the ground for a long time, frowned and said, "When I ordered Xu Chu to investigate the case, I promised that if she could solve the case, I should reward her as a female official. The so-called nine promises, I can't break my word in public......"

"However, if a few Aiqing feel that they are old and want to return to their hometown to enjoy the idyllic scenery, then it is not good for me to delay you to enjoy the joy of family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Yushitai, who had a tough attitude just now, all looked dark, and layers of cold sweat began to break out on their foreheads. They could tell that their actions today were really counterproductive.

It's a pity that before they could change their words, the emperor who listened to them said: "Since this is the case, from now on, the Emperor Quasi-Imperial Historian will resign and return to his hometown." In addition, Zhang Kangyong of the Imperial Historical Observatory was promoted to the left imperial history chief, and Zhou Yangrong of the Imperial Historical Observatory was promoted to the right imperial historian. ”

The two who were suddenly named were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went out to kowtow to thank them. As for the two adults who were allowed to resign, how they sat on the ground and regretted their mistakes, others didn't care.
