Seeing that the door frame was deformed by a punch, and the fist was stained with blood, Chu Qiu was stunned. "Prince, you ......"

"Prime Minister." Qin Chong retracted his hand into his sleeve, blocking the bright blood, and turned his head to look at Chu Qiu, with an extremely cold smile on his face. "Lone can see clearly, he is clearly waiting for us to break our own wings!"

He has never been so sober, when Lu Shuping was in prison, his father rarely asked, just let it go, waiting for them to set up, and cut the grass and eradicate the roots by himself, and then this time the father didn't do it, they had to push people out to take the blame, and even Liang Jian didn't know if he could keep it, what about the next one? This is to ask them to take off their own power, cut the flesh and stop the loss, and sure enough, the more they cut, the more they lose...... didn't even wait for him to do it himself, the people below saw the fate of Lu Shuping and others, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and he ran away.

I have to say that my father was really ruthless.

After seeing through Qin Heng's methods, Qin Chong's whole person fell into some kind of strange calmness, or depression. Chu Qiu also understood, but he couldn't be depressed, he was different from the prince, the prince was Qin Heng's favorite son-in-law, what could happen? But if he stepped on the air, there would be a knife tip and a sea of fire underneath, which would leave his bones in a moment.

Chu Qiu pushed another scapegoat up, this person was the man in black who went to deliver wine to Lu Shuping that night, where could he have thought that in less than half a month, in the same cell, the same opportunity, it would be his turn. This time Chu Qiu was smart, he didn't poison anymore, he just moved a little bit to turn people into mutes, and then dredged the people in the criminal department, and broke his tendons, so that he couldn't speak, write, and recruit if he wanted to.

As soon as this person entered the prison of the Criminal Department, it was abolished, and the presiding officer also knew that no matter how much he interrogated, he would not be able to ask anything, so after playing layer by layer, he hastily decided the case, pushed the person out and cut him down, and the matter was over.

The people in the criminal department also changed, but Liang Jian was still sitting firmly in Shangshu's seat, it was Chu Qiu who was determined to protect him and keep the wings of the prince's faction, so he could be unscathed and unharmed.

When the court is a little more settled, the autumn wind has long gone, the frost and snow in winter have melted, it is the new spring of another year, the street lights are red and green, and the sound of firecrackers at night seems to be a peaceful and clear Haiyan River.

March of the 19th year of Genghe

Xue Ji has been in the capital for a full year, unlike the top gun when he came, at this time he has been serving in front of people and behind the horse for a full year, and he does not need to be taught to restrain his heart, he is used to the posture of being a minister in advance, but many months ago, King Ning's inadvertent words often floated in his ears.

is obviously a prodigal son, why is he cautious?

Xue Ji smiled helplessly, looking at the height of the nine layers in the distance, maybe one day he would stand high enough, so he didn't need to be cautious anymore.

Recently, Qin Sui has been highly valued by the Holy Master, and he is often asked to study in the Six Divisions, of course, Qin Xu, the king of Ning, is also highly valued and has been assigned to inspect the place. As soon as the prince was busy, he didn't have time to talk about world affairs with his guests, so Xue Ji had to be a lot free, except for Chen Yu's occasional visit to talk to him about the court situation, Ji Baiqing invited him to drink tea a few times, and there was no other business.

Speaking of which, Ji Baiqing has been in the Ministry of Rites for a year, and he has been promoted to the fifth rank of Lang, and when Xue Ji talks to him, he can clearly feel that he has been polished a lot more sleek.

It is naturally a good thing for friends to be promoted, but thinking of his more and more idle situation, how can Xue Ji feel good in his heart.

"My husband meditates on the sun all day long, although the spring sun is not poisonous, but don't dazzle." Shen Yurong sat beside him with a smile and handed him a plate of pastries.

The scroll in Xue Ji's hand didn't turn a few pages in the morning, and simply put it aside. Raising his arm and taking the person into his arms, he sighed leisurely: "I'm always so idle, don't I worry." ”

"Poof." Shen Yurong covered his mouth and smiled: "My husband is always smart, why is this stupid?" ”

"What's stupid?" Xue Ji was a little confused.

"You don't even have a half-official position at this time, isn't it normal to be idle? If you study hard to gain fame and fame, and if you have an official position, you will naturally be busy. Shen Yurong suddenly got stuck as he spoke, and glanced at the person with disgust: "Don't look forward to resting at that time." ”

After another year of peach blossoms, the city of Chang'an ushered in the summer sun, and a rush was sent to the capital from the southwest.

It's been a whole year since I've been dead, and today it's finally over, and the officials of Shu County said in the newspaper that Che Shi, the owner of the idle shop, is dead.

But is this really the end of the matter? When someone else dies, what about the money? What about the books? Don't mention a word about the key things, are the people at this bottom really stupid, or do they think they are smart?

The court was quiet for less than a few months, and there was another quarrel, and as soon as Qin Heng asked about the account book, everyone who had a heart could see that the prince's expression was wrong, as for what he thought in his heart...... How many people don't know about it today? All that's missing is evidence.

"Where is King Ning?" Qin Heng frowned, remembering that he had summoned Qin Xu back to Beijing not long ago.

His Royal Highness's courtiers looked at each other, Jiang Yan saw that no one answered, took a step to the right, held Zhongwat in his hand and bowed his head: "Back to Your Majesty, it stands to reason that you will go to Shuocheng in Jinzhou, and you will arrive in Chang'an within five days at the latest." ”

Qin Heng's hand holding the side of the dragon chair clenched tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Let him not have to go back to Beijing, go to Shu County, and be sure to bring back all the account books of Xianting!" In addition, let the officials of Shu County confiscate the Che's family property as soon as possible, if there are still heirs in the Che family...... Fill the army! ”

Jiang Yan replied, and immediately returned to the ranks of officials. The hall was silent again, and there was no sound.

The current minister, Shangshu Rong Che, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to step out of the ranks, bowing his head and opening his mouth to break the silence. "Your Majesty, in the past year, officials in all ministries have been convicted, and those who have been dismissed have been dismissed, and last year because of the fraud case, the number of scholars in the department is very small, and now there are vacancies in the six ministries to be filled, and the ministers dare to ask Your Majesty to Teganko."

As soon as these words came out, it can be regarded as poking at the hearts of the ministers, since the last year there was an accident, the cases were one after another, and the officials of the various ministries fell a large number of pieces, and now there are too many vacancies, and the officials of the various ministries are not one person who is used for three, and they are not allowed to be idle when they return home every day. If it is true that Enko can fill the vacancy, it will be a great joy for all.

Oh, not everyone is happy, at least not the Ministry of Rites. Yu Huan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has already twisted his brows, and Garnke is that they are all idle, so the Ministry of Rites is busy!

Seeing that his colleagues on the left and right seconded the proposal one by one, and then looked up, Qin Heng had already shown a look of approval, Yu Huan was irritable, and he couldn't say if he was suffering, what is this called, the matter of the imperial examination last year only passed, and he added something to the Ministry of Rites, this Rong Che is sincere!

Jiang Yan noticed the resentment that was constantly pouring out of the person beside him, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to drag him by the sleeve of his shirt, and reminded in a low voice: "Lord Yu, bear with me." ”

After the dispersal of the court, the officials returned to the yamen, where could Yu Huan still bear it, staring at the back of Rong Che leaving, and dragging Jiang Yan to complain: "Lord Jiang, can you tell the master, I really can't stay in this Ministry of Rites, and I can't ask for anything from being busy!" ”

Jiang Yan reluctantly stopped, looked at him, and looked at him again, his eyes narrowed into a slit in the sunlight. "I think about it...... The criminal department and the officials are all in the hands of others, so you can't let Lord Yu be transferred to be a Lang official, right? Hey, this military department is also full. Oh, Lord Yu, do you want me to give you the Tobe Shangshu? ”

"That can't be!" Yu Huan hurriedly waved his hand, but there was a little panic in his eyes. "But if you're really willing, the lower officials are also willing,"

Jiang Yanyuan was good-tempered and wanted to give him a smile: "I see that the Ministry of Industry is idle, and Master Wei is not young, why don't you be transferred to the Ministry of Industry?" ”

"Don't mind, the Ministry of Industry is not as good as the Ministry of Rites!"

"That's it, it's time to stay alive, and when you get promoted."

Jiang Yan, the Shangshu, also sat in the position of Zhongshu Ling, or Qin Heng had already made up his mind to give the household department to Chen Yu, but now Chen Yu almost had experience, and when the day came, the position of the household secretary naturally couldn't run. There were also a lot of officials in the household department before, and now the government affairs are all in the hands of Chen Yu, and it is common to work overtime day and night. It was easy to get to rest when it was time for Xiu Mu, Chen Yu was free, and arrived at Xue Ji's mansion early in the morning.

"Brother Ziliang?" Xue Ji heard Wang Qu's rumor, and he didn't wake up for a while, and when he reacted, Wang Qu had already led Chen Yu into the main hall.

"Qingzhi, there is something good to tell you this time." Chen Yu's face was full of joy.

Xue Ji was puzzled: "What can make you so happy?" Could it be that he was promoted to Shangshu? ”

"Whew!" Chen Yu hurriedly waved his hand and smiled at him: "How long have I been sitting as a squire, where can I become a scholar so quickly, it's your good thing!" ”

The people of the house, Baizhu and Persimmon Shuang, served tea, Xue Ji waved his hand casually to signal people to retreat, and talked and laughed with Chen Yu while drinking tea: "It's been almost two years, and it's not uncommon for you to be promoted." Gee. What good thing can happen to me? ”

Chen Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Lord Rong asked Your Majesty to add Enke, Your Majesty has approved it!" ”

Xue Jiyi was stunned, Enke?

"When?"

Chen Yu couldn't hear it, and there was clearly surprise in his slightly trembling voice.

"I estimate that the exam will be completed by the end of this year at the latest, and now there are too many vacancies in the six official positions, and the only remaining officials have a large workload, if they don't make up for it, I'm afraid someone will have to resign."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Qu hurried in again. "Master, there is a ...... named Xu Lang outside the door"

Xue Ji was taken aback, and then smiled. I hadn't seen him for a whole year, and I hadn't heard from him, and at this time I came out for the sake of Enko.

"Qingzhi, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Xu Lang's face was full of smiles, but when he came in, he found that there was another person in this hall besides Xue Ji, and he was inevitably stunned: "Who is this?" ”
