The Inner Palace is not allowed to go against the wind, Shang Jiuxi is Li Sheng's personal eunuch, and he can only walk to the military department, Tang Huang only said that he wanted it, nor did he say that he was urgent, Shang Jiuxi did not shrink the mountains and rivers, but the speed was slow, and the golden light on the ground was much faster than the ordinary hurry.

The location of the six departments was built because of the early years of the founding of the country, when the old Tang Emperor invited many senior and highly cultivated warlocks and feng shui to come and see. The three departments are in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War, which are built in a unified manner in front of the palace and are arranged in three directions.

The base camp of the household department, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Officials was built directly behind the palace. The implication is to protect the Imperial Palace.

Here Shang Jiuxi's footsteps accelerated slightly, and he went out of the palace gate as soon as he got rid of his shackles, and with one step, he swam away in the direction of the military department, and did not dare to slack off.

Shang Jiuxi traveled far away from the wind and Chang'an, and he didn't dare to resist the wind too high, after all, it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so it would definitely cause the people below to watch panic, so he moved quickly with the roof wall in the city, his body was as light as a swallow, and he walked on the wall, without making a sound, and the speed was very fast, so that ordinary eyes could catch it.

Finally, he landed at a distance of not less than 100 meters from the military headquarters and changed to walking.

The guards guarding the military department are the chief managers of the emperor's side, and they are the big celebrities around Tang Emperor Li Sheng.

Not far away, the guards saw Shang Jiuxi, who was holding a whisk in his hand, walking towards this side, and in broad daylight, this Shang Gonggong's face became more and more white.

When Shang Jiuxi moved to the bottom of the steps of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the guards hurriedly greeted him with smiling faces, and asked with a smile: "What is Shang's father-in-law doing here at the Yamen of the Ministry of War?"

Shang Jiuxi waved the dust in his hand and put his arm on it, signaling that the other party was not polite, and then said, "I'm looking for Lord Shangshu." ”

The guard smiled, "Lord Shangshu hasn't come to the yamen today, why don't you go in and wait?"

Shang Jiuxi said: "You go and call Lord Shangshu immediately now, and the emperor has something to do with him." ”

It's been this hour, and the people are not in the yamen, and I don't know where the concubine is lying in the bed, if the emperor's name is not mentioned, these dry eaters don't know when they will be able to finish things.

When the guards heard this, they immediately changed the smile on their faces, the emperor asked for something, and if it was done slowly, his head would fall off quickly, and he saluted Shang Jiuxi, and then hurriedly turned around and went to Lord Shangshu's mansion to call someone.

There were two guards outside the yamen of the military department, and the other led the way in front of him the next moment, wanting to lead Shang Jiuxi to the main hall to wait, and said as he walked: "Father-in-law can wait in the main hall, my family should be there immediately." ”

Shang Jiuxi didn't speak, just nodded, and followed the guards into the main hall. These subordinate officials in the yamen have been serving with good tea and water for a while.

Besides, the guard came to Lord Shangshu's mansion all the way, and the family outside the door did not stop him, seeing him in such a hurry, he must have something important to find his own Shangshu.

The guards entered the mansion of Master Shangshu Cao Shu.

Cao Shu is standing in his own compound at the moment, with an old face frowning, he who went to the yamen very early on weekdays to be on duty, is indeed surprisingly late today. Not for anything else, just because he is the secretary of the military department, those mountain gods who are going to the Great Wall at the end of the year of Jiuzhou Mountain have sent gifts, knocking on the side and wanting to move their names back, the gifts are now piled up in the gatehouse, Cao Shu also wants to accept it, but he doesn't dare, no, there is a battle between heaven and man here early in the morning.

After all, there are many elixirs for longevity in those gifts, and civil officials like them, who don't practice mages, have walked in the long river of time for no more than a hundred years, and he also wants to live a little longer.

The guards crossed the corridor and asked the people of the palace all the way about the location of Shangshu, and finally met this Shangshu of the military department, Cao Shu, and Lord Cao in the compound.

The guards hurriedly arrived and knelt on the ground, "Lord Cao, the yamen has an urgent matter, and I hope to return quickly." ”

Cao Shu's thoughts were pulled back, and he turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

The guard knelt down on one knee and said, "Shang Jiuxi, Father-in-law Shang is here with the emperor's will, and now the people are waiting in the main hall of the yamen, and the adults will go quickly." ”

Cao Shu's brain was shocked, and at this time, he didn't care if he had any gifts or not, could it be that the one in the palace knew all this? So he hurriedly took the guards and went straight to the yamen, and the carriage was not done, but he rode a horse instead. When passing by the concierge, he also specially instructed his cronies to hurry up to the concierge to return those gifts, it seems that it is really wise not to enter the treasury in advance, if it is found out after being included in the treasury, it is unclear whether it is reasonable, even if you say confiscate, what is in the treasury?

The two of them quickly walked all the way to the yamen, Cao Shu dismounted and went directly into the yamen, and his own officials were waiting at the door. Cao Shu walked to the main hall and asked the official beside him, "Is my father-in-law in the main hall?"

The subordinate official said: "Yes, my lord, go quickly, don't let him wait in a hurry, he came with the emperor's will." ”

Cao Shu walked up the stairs and walked up the stairs, "What is the intention of the disclosure?"

The subordinate official said: "That's not true, Grandpa Shang just said that the adults will naturally know if they go." ”

"Alright, stand down. ”

Approaching the main hall, Cao Shu waved his hand and retreated from the subordinate officials, his steps were hurried, and as soon as one foot crossed the threshold, the laughter rang out over there, "I don't know if Father-in-law Shang is coming, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome." ”

Shang Jiuxi knew his duty, and stood up to greet him with a smile, "If Lord Cao is there, I am not in a hurry, but I came with His Majesty's will, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will be in a hurry." ”

Cao Shu looked like he was smiling, and found that Shang Jiuxi had been sitting on the side seat from beginning to end, and the main seat in the hall had been vacant waiting for him, so he walked to the side of the main seat, thinking in his heart, this Shang Jiuxi can come to this point, and his majesty trusts him, which is not unreasonable.

Cao Shu sat down and beckoned Shang Jiuxi to take a seat, the latter nodded politely, and both sat down in the main hall of the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

The two of them were polite at first, and Cao Shu was also relieved after a few words of inquiry, Shang Jiuxi never mentioned the matter of gift-giving, and the big stone in his heart also fell.

Cao Shu went straight to the point and asked, "What is Your Majesty's will that Gonggong Shang has come here?"

Shang Jiuxi said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Your Majesty ordered the old slave to come to the military department to take away the roster of the mountain gods who went to the Great Wall at the end of the year, I think such a valuable thing must be kept by the adult himself, so I have to trouble the adult to come quickly." ”

Cao Shu said: "Father-in-law Shang, you are wrong in what you said, what big and small things, in the heart of the official, the emperor's affairs, no matter how big or small, it is a big thing, I eat the king's Lu and naturally be loyal to the king's affairs, and my father-in-law is polite." ”

Shang Jiuxi smiled, "Gaffe, gaffe, or Lord Cao's high ideological consciousness, no wonder His Majesty often says that among the six books, you, Lord Cao, are the most honest and love the people." ”

Cao Shu got off the donkey, smiled, blocked it with his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Is the emperor really saying that?"

Shang Jiuxi said: "The old slave has always followed the emperor's side, how can it be fake?"

After Cao Shu listened, he laughed, and suddenly felt that what gifts he was thinking about in the courtyard in the morning were all nothing, His Majesty was so optimistic about himself, how could he still do those things, he should really fight, if it wasn't for others, Cao Shu would want to slap himself a few ears.

Cao Shuxiao asked: "Your Majesty, did you say what is the matter with this list of mountain gods?" This sentence should not have been asked by him, but this is a major event related to the mountain god going to the Great Wall at the end of the year, and he has to consider and ask, and there is a trace that he can't slack off when I am in the wind.

Shang Jiuxi said: "Your Majesty didn't say anything in detail, but just ordered me to come and get it, Lord Cao went and fetched it, Your Majesty Long Si is what we can go to figure out." ”

Cao realized it after the operation, and said with a smile: "Gaffe, gaffe, then I won't ask more, I'll go get it." Then Cao Shu got up and left the main hall, and Shang Jiuxi got up and waited.

After a while, Cao Shu returned to the main hall, and there was a small box in his hand, needless to say, he knew what it was.

Cao Shu handed the box in his hand to Shang Jiuxi, and repeatedly instructed: "Father-in-law has to take good care of it, this thing is valuable." ”

Shang Jiuxi took the box, held it in his left hand, and said with a smile: "The old slave knows, then I will leave, Master Cao will stay." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the main hall, leaving the yamen of the military department, and the box in his left hand was also withdrawn from his sleeve at the same time, and he stepped out in one step, flew up to the room, and flew towards the eaves of the palace.

Cao Shu stood in the main hall with his hands in his hands, with a smug face on his face, until Shang Jiuxi's back disappeared outside the yamen, his gaze slowly retracted, this hot potato is not in his hands now, if those mountain gods give gifts again, they can excuse themselves, things are not in their hands, and they can't help themselves.

Shang Jiuxi walked through the streets and alleys and on the eaves of the roof, the speed was very fast, like a cat's shadow flowing, and soon he arrived in front of the palace gate, showed the sign to the palace guards, and after letting go, he walked quickly towards the central purple gas hall.

Shang Jiuxi climbed the stairs, and soon came to the outside of the hall, with a thought, he carried the box out of his sleeves, held his hands on the palms, bowed his head and offered it to the outside of the hall, "Your Majesty, I have got the things, please read them for Your Majesty." ”

The breeze blew, and the next moment, Shang Jiuxi only felt that his hands were light and empty, and then Li Sheng's voice came from the hall, "Well, get up." ”

Shang Jiuxi said, "Your Majesty." After a few breaths, he straightened his waist, held the dust in his hand, his face did not change, and waited outside the hall again.

Li Sheng opened the box, took out the roster of mountain gods inside, threw it to Zhang Xianjun, and said: "The thing is here, you can take a look, but you can only change one place, although you are a saint, you can't get too involved in political affairs, it will mess up the rules." ”

Li Sheng spoke loudly, and naturally he was not afraid of being heard outside the hall, and when Zhang Xianjun came, he had already isolated the hall and became a world of his own.

Zhang Xianjun flipped through it casually and quipped: "Don't interfere in political affairs, I'm afraid of breaking the rules, then can I give you this magic circle at the foot of Chang'an." ”

Li Sheng had a boring expression on his face: "I've served you, I'm okay, you see, don't talk nonsense, boring, remember to give it to me after the change, I still have to hand it over to the Ministry of War at the end of the year." After speaking, he walked aside again and waited for the Manifestation Lord to finish reading.

Zhang Xianjun looked down at the roster, checked carefully, and found that Qing Yu's name happened to be on the third ladder, which was really dangerous, so he actually fought mana, changed the roster, and moved Qing Yu's name to the last ladder, that is, the tenth ladder, and swapped the name of one of the mountain gods.

After doing all this, Zhang Xianjun closed the roster and handed it to Li Sheng. The latter opened it and took a general look, and it was natural to see the traces just after the change, who is still because of the reason that his cultivation is not low, if it takes a while, there should be no traces of modification.

Li Sheng carefully followed the traces and asked, "Why did you go to great lengths to change the position of that Qingyu Mountain God in Qingzhou?"

Zhang Xianjun said: "It's just a personal favor for others, and I left." After speaking, his body turned around and disappeared, and the small world that was isolated from the main hall also disappeared by itself.
