Chapter 121: Receiving the Divine Decree at Night
readx;? For the righteous group behind Song Ci and Qi Xuanji, because of Song Ci's retreat, their plan fell short. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But for Yang Jing, he got to know Song Ci again and admired Song Ci more and more.
This Great Song Ti criminal officer is a man, not a god, and it is enough for him to clearly recognize his own strengths and weaknesses, to resolutely give up the interests that he cannot hold onto, and to give full play to what he is best at.
If he knew that he was not capable, and he was still in the prime because of his greed for power, and he couldn't fight against Jia Yidao and other traitors or trivial matters, but he was led by the enemy by the nose, used by the enemy, and did things that brought disaster to the country and the people, it would be even more impossible to redeem.
After leaving the Song Mansion, Yang Jing returned to the county government and recuperated from his injuries with peace of mind, during this period, the orders of the imperial court were also continuously issued, and the fraud case was finally dug up and fermented again, Peng Liancheng was no longer spared, not only the county master book and teachings of Baling, together with the Jiangling Mansion and the Yamen at all levels of Jinghu North Road were also strictly investigated, and the spies of the Imperial City Division were dispatched in all directions, the officialdom was shaken, and there were rumors everywhere!
In addition to Du Kefeng's testimony, there are also testimonies of Mrs. Peng and a slave of Peng's mansion, and Yan Lichun himself will be escorted to Lin'an for trial.
As for Yan Lichun's untimely murder of eunuchs, he was also excavated and submitted as evidence in court.
This murder case is shocking, the victims are more than 30 people, and all of them are women, the means of committing the crime are extremely cruel, but the murderer is conclusive and reasonable, without any sense of reflection and repentance, and it also involves Yan Guifei's clan, and the court is even more arguing, fighting openly and secretly, and everyone is in danger for a while!
As a covert investigator of the fraud case, although Song Ci is a scholar, he is concerned about the locality, and now the officialdom of Jiangling Mansion is rotten, and Song Ci is specially allowed to reinstate, appointed as the Hunan Prison Promotion, and the Governor Jinghu Road's prison break criminal lawsuit, which can be said to have done the old business.
However, this result is also embarrassing, after all, it is too far from his recovery, it is a thunder and rain, and he picks it up high but puts it down gently, and the joints are self-evident, which also makes the Qingliu loyal ministers in the court feel very frustrated.
Yang Zhixian's performance in these two cases was also extremely good, and the imperial court also issued a commendation, but he had just served as Baling Zhixian County, and his term of office was still long.
It can also be seen from this that there is really no way to bring down Yan Guifei this time, because Yang Zhixian was deposed because of the impeachment of Yan Guifei, and it is enough to explain the problem that he has made great contributions this time but has not been able to directly fill the vacancy of the Jiangling prefect.
Yang Jing also thought that if Song Ci hadn't burned the poppy forest and didn't anger the official family because of it, would Yan Guifei be brought down?
However, since Song Ci has made such a choice, he must have thought about it comprehensively, after all, he is only suitable to be a pusher, maintain the locality, and eliminate violence and peace, but it is not his strong point to govern the country and assist the government to play with power and scheming.
As the chief hero, it is said that Yang Jing will rise to prominence because of this, but due to his background, it is really difficult for Yang Jing to go further in the officialdom.
As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a phenomenon of redundant officials in the imperial court, and many new Jinshi could only wait for vacancies, and they had to spend money to dredge the relationship to fill the vacancies, and a large number of Jinshi could only eat the court's Yulu, but there was no specific official position to perform their duties.
In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, it can be said that there is a great need for talents, and the imperial examination system is becoming more and more mature.
Although it is a three-year term, how many three years are there in life?
There are some poor scholars who don't have a background and wait for three years and three years, but they may not be able to fill the real vacancy and take office.
In such an officialdom environment, Yang Jing was not born as a scholar, and he was only a Xu official, and his name was not right, even if he was rewarded by the official family and entered the officialdom, he would be excluded by the civil officials.
But Yang Jing's merits are real, and he can't be rewarded because of his humble background, and the imperial court didn't long after he issued a commendation order, but instead of promoting Yang Jing's official position, he was rewarded with some money and cloth and other materials.
I have to say that this is extremely dissatisfied, the brothers in the yamen are all upset for Yang Jing, Yang Zhixian has also comforted Yang Jing, and even wanted to write a book to ask for a reward for Yang Jing, but in the end Yang Jing stopped it, the court did not give it, it was unfair to the court, and he asked for a reward again, but he fell behind, after all, it is his duty to act impartially.
Moreover, Yang Jing doesn't have much desire for these awards, he doesn't have much desire, he understands the truth of making a big move, especially after experiencing Song Ci's affairs, his experience is more profound, he is even more unsuitable for the struggle of this court than Song Ci, or the rules and regulations are maintained, and it is good to solve the case.
Although Yang Jing himself saw it very openly, Yang Zhixian and others couldn't let Yang Jing's heart be cold, so they wanted to entertain Yang Jing, and summoned the people from the county government and the county lieutenant Liu Nai'an, and had a lively banquet for a while.
Yang Jing wanted to refuse, but during the investigation of the case, thanks to these brothers running around, everyone was upset for him, and Yang Jing did not shirk it, and a wine banquet was also jubilant and festive.
Seeing that the banquet was halfway through and the atmosphere was warm, Tang Chong walked in and said in Yang Jing's ear: "Menzi came to report, saying that Wang Nianen is waiting in the county office, and there is something to look for you..."
Yang Jing didn't like Wang Nianen, the big eunuch, and he didn't expect to be a big official, so there was no need to please this eunuch, so he nodded, but didn't get up, but continued to eat and drink with Yang Zhixian and others.
However, Yang Zhixian was sitting next to Yang Jing, and he still heard Tang Chong's announcement, so he persuaded Yang Jingdao.
"Let's go back and take a look, these eunuchs are narrow-minded, the so-called Hades are easy to hide, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with..."
When Yang Jing heard this, he also confessed and returned to the county office with Tang Chong.
Wang Nianen was already impatient, it was really not easy for him to come to visit in person, and he even had to let him wait for a small pusher, and he was not very friendly to Yang Jing, so he became even more anxious.
As soon as Yang Jing came in, he saluted Wang Nianen, and the latter frowned when he smelled the smell of wine on Yang Jing's body, but he still responded with a smile: "Yang Tuiyi is borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, isn't he not rewarded for it, and he has resentment against the court and the official family in his heart?"
With such a big hat buttoned down, Yang Jing couldn't bear it, and only then did he realize that the little ghost Yang Zhixian said was difficult.
"The prince is serious, it is Yang's duty to run errands for the court, how dare he expect a reward, it is really Yang's new injury that has just recovered, and he has a lively time with the brothers in the county government to relieve his hunger..."
Wang Nianen saw that Yang Jing was frank and right, and also waved his hand and said: "Okay, that's what the Sprinkle family said, don't be nervous, just guard against the Sprinkle family like a thief, and the Sprinkle family will eat people!"
When Yang Jing heard this, he also smiled faintly, and sat down and asked, "I don't know what happened to the prince today?"
Wang Nianen smiled, nodded at Yang Jing and said, "Isn't the Sprinkle family afraid that you will be angry with the court, so you specially brought the reward of the official family to you." ”
"The reward of the officials?"
"Exactly!"
Yang Jing was also confused, didn't the emperor's reward come down two days earlier? How could there be? Besides, the emperor rewarded his courtiers with things, so why let a eunuch send them over at night, and he couldn't beat the blue sky and beat it day and day, and did enough pomp and circumstance to show the emperor's grace?
Wang Nianen also snickered when he saw it in his eyes, and then coughed dryly twice, and said in a sharp voice.
"The official family has a will here, Yang Jing, don't kneel down to accept the order!"
Yang Jing was also taken aback, this was the first time in his life that he received the holy decree, and he also felt curious and fresh in his heart, although he wanted to kneel, but there was no way at the moment, who let himself be from a humble background and have a small official position.
Seeing Yang Jing kneeling, Wang Nianen nodded with satisfaction, and then read aloud: "Yang Jing, the commander of the Baling criminal case, was born in a humble manner, but he was not arrogant, he was wise in criminal investigation, unique, fulfilled his duties, maintained the place, and had the talent to read the subtle insights, and assisted Song Ci and others to solve the case. ”
When Yang Jing heard this, he was also surprised in his heart, this holy decree was to let him succeed Su Xiuji, and be in charge of the Imperial City Division of Jiangling Mansion! No wonder Wang Nian'en wanted to come at night to issue the decree! No wonder he only rewarded some wealth on the surface, but it turned out that this holy decree was the big one!
Yang Jing was still muttering in his heart, but he heard Wang Nianen urging in a low voice: "Yang Tui, Yang Tui, you still haven't received the order to thank you!"
Only then did Yang Jing get up, respectfully accept the holy decree, take the golden box from a guard next to him, and put the holy decree in place.
"Yang Tui, the official's eyes are like a torch, and he will never forget every hero, Yang Tuiyi will be loyal to the official family and work hard in the future. ”
Yang Jing was still thinking about the true intentions of the official family in his heart, and only Wei Wei dealt with the past in his mouth.
It is said that in addition to supervising local officials, collecting public sentiments, and supervising public opinion, Su Xiuji's secret agents of the Imperial City Division are more about protecting Yan Lichun and passing on the so-called elixir.
Now that Yan Lichun has subdued the law, and the pill has been completely eradicated by Song Ci, the secret agents are only left to do their own work, why would the official family give the position of the secret agent to Yang Jing?
And Yang Jing is just a pusher, even if he cracks a few cases, it is not enough to enter the eyes of the official, and it is really far-fetched to entrust him with a heavy task, what does he not know?
Thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn't help but turn his gaze to Wang Nianen, and asked in a low voice, "Princess, I don't know if the official family has any other will?"
Wang Nianen covered his mouth and snorted twice, laughing so much that Yang Jing fell goosebumps all over the place, and then nodded with satisfaction: "The official family didn't misunderstand you, it's not a secret, with your qualifications, you naturally can't hold this official position, but you are clever, a little quick-witted, and more importantly, in terms of performing this secret mission, you Yang Jing has a unique advantage, so you let you be the director of the Imperial City Jiangling Mansion..."
"Secret mission?"
"Exactly!"
