……

Three days later.

The capital, in the Ganquan Palace.

The gorgeous and dignified Queen Mother was sitting on a chair, looking at Di Gong with soft eyes.

"This Jiang Erlang nominated by Di Gong this time performed very well, not only detected the cause of Yan Jinqi's death, but also ruined the plan of the Southern Regions wizard in one fell swoop."

"This matter is not the work of the minister, it is actually the Queen Mother's appreciation of his talent, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother to give him this opportunity, Jiang Erlang would not have performed like this." Di Gong is still very humble.

The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand: "Duke Di doesn't need to be polite to the palace, this Jiang Erlang is indeed talented, Duke Di should still give young people more opportunities?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Di Gong couldn't hear what he meant.

Immediately said: "Yan Jinqi is donating money for the country in Hanzhong County, and this night investigation department lacks a golden flag, and the minister intends to let this Jiang Erlang temporarily take the position of the golden flag, I don't know what the queen mother wants?" ”

"The matter of the Night Investigation Division, Di Gong just said it, and there is no need to consult the palace." The Queen Mother nodded.

She didn't mention Jiang Erlang's matter again, which naturally meant that she agreed with Di Gong's opinion.

However, after saying Jiang Erlang's story, her words changed slightly: "However, this palace listened to Luo Yu's reply, that Jiang Yu'er has now persuaded the Mo family, and his performance in Hanzhong County is also extraordinary......"

"Yes, it is the luck of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty that Daqin can get this talent!" Di Gong thought for a while, but replied with a smile.

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Di Gong said and laughed, this is obviously His Majesty's blessing, what does it have to do with this palace?" ”

This is half a joke, but in fact it shows her attitude.

Di Gong didn't say much about this matter, but changed the topic: "Jiang Erlang mentioned the alliance between the Southern Regions and the Demon Clan, and the Queen Mother should still take precautions." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she knew what Di Gong meant.

The Night Investigation Division has never been involved in party disputes in the court, and she is not surprised.

Of course, she also knew that if someone threatened her status, the first person to stand behind her would also be Di Gong.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, she took over the topic of Di Gong: "The palace has already sent Doctor Yan to Xijing in advance, and at the same time ordered Wu Pingjun 'Mengliang' to organize the army and prepare to go to Nanshicheng to garrison, with Mengliang's ability, there should be no problems." ”

Di Gong shook his head: "General Meng has commanded my Great Qin sergeant for many years, so naturally there is no problem, but my Great Qin treasury has been empty for the past few years, and it is about to enter winter, if the time of the battle is extended, the subsequent supply of grain and grass is insufficient, I am afraid that something big will happen." ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother waved her hand: "Di Gong is too worried, the Southern Regions did not get a bargain in Hanzhong County this time, plus the demon clan is already capricious, even if the two armies really cooperate to fight, it will not last long, as long as General Meng can block it for a month, perhaps, the Southern Regions and the demon clan will retreat." ”

"Hope...... So be it. ”

Although Di Gong still had some worries on his face, he still agreed with the Queen Mother's opinion.

After all, after the unification of Great Qin, after more than three hundred years, the Southern Regions and the Demon Clan have always harassed the frontier, but they have not caused much damage.

……

The two were talking.

There was a report from outside the Ganquan Palace.

"Empress Dowager, Lord Xiangguo asks to see you."

"Oh? Please come in. The Queen Mother adjusted her sitting posture and raised her chest.

And then, Han Shen, who was dressed in court clothes, walked in slowly under the leadership of a eunuch, and when he saw Di Gong at a glance, he immediately saluted slightly.

"It turns out that Di Gong is also there."

"Since Lord Xiangguo has something to discuss with the Queen Mother, my father will leave." Di Gong nodded in return, and then prepared to retreat.

However, Han Shen waved his hand: "Di Gong is the chief flag of the Night Investigation Division, and he has always had the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded to Di Gong: "In this case, Di Gong will stay and discuss together." ”

"Minister, obey the order." Di Gong stayed.

And Han Shen turned his gaze to the gorgeous and dignified Queen Mother on the seat, first gave a courtesy, and then spoke: "Imperial Envoy Jiang has already made a return, the Mo family has agreed to return to Ji, and Daomen is also somewhat interested in returning, but Daomen put forward a condition, hoping that my Great Qin can respect it as a state religion." ”

"Is the Daomen the state religion?" The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Is this matter a threat?" What is Di Gong's opinion on this matter? ”

"Now that the foreign enemy is current, if the Daomen is really willing to return to the subordinate and serve my Great Qin, the minister feels that this matter can be done!" Di Gong thought for a moment and replied.

"What about Lord Xiangguo?" The Queen Mother asked Han Shen again.

"The minister thinks that after the disaster of the heart of the Ying bewilderment comes, there will be demons and evil in Daqin to take advantage of the situation to make trouble, and the Daomen has always had a way to restrain the demons, if you can get the help of the Daomen at this time, not only can you restrain the demons, but also set an example for other hundred schools, so the minister also agrees with Di Gong's opinion."

Of course, it was impossible for Han Shen to raise objections.

Because, Jiang Yu'er has already communicated to him in advance, and he and Jiang Yu'er are now grasshoppers on a rope, if the matter of the hundred schools of thought is not completed, he will have to 'sacrifice the country', although it is said that the establishment of the Daomen as the state religion will inevitably establish a new force in the court, but at this time there is no way to care about so much.

When the Queen Mother heard that the two of them had a unified opinion, she sighed in her heart for a while, and then nodded: "Since Duke Di and Lord Xiangguo both think that this matter is okay, then please Lord Xiangguo work hard." ”

"Minister, obey!" Han Shen immediately bowed, and then, he said again: "This time, the imperial envoy Jiang persuaded the Mo family and the Daomen in Hanzhong County, which is a great achievement, and the minister thinks that at this turbulent time, the empress dowager should set an example and reward the imperial envoy to motivate the hundred officials." ”

"Well, what kind of reward do you think you should give to this river fish?"

"The minister thinks that he may be able to make others knights, and then let them go to the ministry as a lang, so that it ......"

"The matter of the Daomen has not yet been decided, is it a little too fast to let him enter the Ministry of Servants now? Besides, he hasn't entered the palace yet, and Lord Xiangguo still needs to consider one or two more things. The Queen Mother interrupted Han Shen's words, and then said: "Give him a knighthood first, and wait until the hundred schools of thought are regathered." ”

"This ...... Yes, you do! Han Shen's mouth opened, but he didn't say any more after all, after all, he knew too well what the Queen Mother was thinking.

Of course, he was not surprised.

Because, he just wanted to ask Jiang Yu'er for a knighthood, and as for the position of the servant of the ministry, he just 'begged' in advance.

Now that the Queen Mother has a 'clear order', she said that as long as Jiang Yuer can regather the hundred schools, she can talk about the matter of the servants of the Ministry of Officials, which can be regarded as a foreshadowing.

is as spicy as Han Fear, and his face looks a little ugly, but in fact, he is secretly proud in his heart.

Moreover, his move also has the intention of killing two birds with one stone.

He wanted to take the opportunity to test the 'attitude of Di Gong'.

Because, if there is anyone present who can see through his thoughts, it is only Di Gong.

After seeing that Di Gong didn't say much, he had a new realization in his heart...... Di Gong didn't mind Jiang Yu'er entering the ministry, so he also said that Di Gong would not stop His Majesty from taking office.

……

Hanzhong County.

In three days, the government soldiers of Hanzhong County and the night patrol of the Night Investigation Division have almost turned over Zanglong Island.

And in the process......

The villagers of Jiangxia Village also sent countless 'stones'.

There are all kinds of them, and they are very diverse.

However, according to Jiang Erlang's understanding, the heavenly stone descended from the glowing guard should be some kind of material similar to a 'meteorite', but there is no big discovery.

"Did you really fall into the lake? If that's the case, it's a bit of a hassle. ”

Lake Townsend is too big.

Not to mention in ancient times, even if you want to play 'pumping' in the previous era, you can't do it.

There is no way.

This can only be done slowly.

Of course, during these three days, he also did one thing.

It was in the white mist world of the bronze man that the matter of establishing Taoism as the state religion was spread, and at the same time, it was also said that the Daomen and the Mo family were willing to return to the country.

As for whether it will have the effect he expected......

It can only depend on the providence of God.

……

In the room where the river fish is located.

Luo Yu and Liang Wan'er were sitting on the side, both of them looking at Jiang Yu'er, as if they were waiting for Jiang Yu'er to make a 'choice'.

And Jiang Yu'er was contemplative, not saying a word.

Luo Yu couldn't wait any longer, so he spoke: "The affairs of Hanzhong County have been completed, and the Mo family and Daomen have also made a decision, where will we go next?" ”

"Naturally, I'm back in Beijing." Jiang Yu'er replied.

"So fast...... Are you going back to Beijing? Luo Yu didn't seem to have enough fun: "Don't go to other places to play?" Why don't we go to the Western Regions, although the Western Regions Buddhism is not included in the hundred schools, but if we can get the help of Buddhism, it may not be a good thing? ”

"Well, what Princess Luoyu said makes sense!" Jiang Yu'er agreed.

"That'...... Shall we go to the Western Regions? ”

"No, let's go back to Beijing."

"Why?" Luo Yu was a little puzzled.

"Because, if my prediction is right, the Buddha Gate should send someone to the capital soon." The corners of Jiang Yu'er's mouth were raised, and she seemed to be confident.

"Nonsense, how could the Buddha Sect send people to the capital?" Luo Yu obviously didn't believe it.

Jiang Yu'er smiled: "Or, let's take a gamble?" ”

"Okay, what do you want to bet on?"

"Bet that Buddhism will arrive in the capital within half a month."

"What if you don't come?"

"Just let Her Royal Highness the princess punish you."

"Okay, then if the Buddha Sect really comes to the capital within half a month, this princess will also be punished by you." When Luo Yu heard this, he tilted his little head.

"I don't dare punish the princess." Jiang Yu'er would not fall for Luo Yu, and said directly: "If I win, Her Royal Highness the Princess only needs to help me do one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Let's talk about it when we win." Jiang Yu'er stood up, and turned her eyes to Liang Wan'er again: "Listen to Erlang, Miss Wan'er is waiting for him now?" ”

"What a squire!" Liang Wan'er was immediately upset: "I'm just gambling...... The bet was lost. ”

Jiang Yu'er smiled: "Admitting gambling and losing, Miss Wan'er deserves to be a famous lady, however, I don't think Erlang will stay too long in Hanzhong County, if he can't find 'Tianshi', maybe he will have to go back to the capital, and Miss Wan'er can go back to Beijing with him then." ”

When Liang Wan'er heard this, she pursed her mouth: "Well, that's the only way, that rough ...... That Jiang Yinqi is really annoying! ”

"Hahaha." River fish.

Luo Yu took the opportunity to say at this time: "Wan'er, don't say that, I think Jiang Yinqi is a good person, and it seems to be a little interesting to you." ”

"He's not interesting to me, but Sister Ji is interesting to him!" Liang Wan'er said subconsciously, but soon felt inappropriate: "Well, I'm just talking about it casually." ”

"Is the sister Ji you are talking about Ji Ruxue?" Luo Yu heard the trickiness in it.

"Well, but I'm just talking casually, Sister Ji is a dignified princess of Zhou, how can she fall in love with him?" Liang Wan'er shook her head and said.

"That's right, Ji Ruxue has a noble status, and she has always been arrogant and cold, so she shouldn't like to talk to men very much, right?" Luo Yu nodded and replied with a smile.

"Sister Ji doesn't like to talk to men, but she still has something special about Jiang Erlang, otherwise she wouldn't let him live in the Great Zhou Palace."

"Oh? Isn't it special? ”

"It should be because Jiang Erlang is very good at solving the case, plus he was personally promoted by Sister Ji......" When Liang Wan'er spoke, her eyes were looking at Jiang Yu'er: "Anyway, Sister Ji has special trust in Jiang Erlang, and there is nothing else, Sister Ji is very general to him." ”

Liang Wan'er still had some scheming after all, and she didn't shake out what Ji Ruxue said 'I like martial arts', which can be regarded as a reservation.

Luo Yu realized something in his heart and didn't say anything more.

……

Two days later.

Two decrees were passed down in the capital.

The first decree was given to Jiang Erlang, and Jiang Erlang was named the golden banner of the Night Investigation Division.

Feng Lingzi and Wu Lingzi and others naturally congratulated Jiang Erlang.

And the second will is for Jiang Yu'er.

This is a will from the young emperor's personal inheritance, canonizing Jiang Yu'er as a 'knight', although it is only the last title, it is still surprising.

Liang Wan'er was even more happy, shouting loudly to celebrate Jiang Yu'er.

So, that night......

The group set up a banquet in the best restaurant in Hanzhong County.

The banquet was attended by high-ranking officials from Hanzhong County.

One is to celebrate Jiang Erlang.

The second is to celebrate the river fish.

Of course, the officials of Hanzhong County who received the invitation did not dare to delay, and they all came to congratulate them with generous gifts.

'Jiang Chaoge' can be regarded as truly experiencing the feeling of 'being an official and taking bribes', well, this kind of atmosphere...... There must not be a next time!

Then, another day passed.

Jiang Yuer took Luo Yu and his party and set off to return to Beijing.

And Jiang Erlang is still sitting in Hanzhong County, looking for the whereabouts of Tianshi.
