May, Luoyang.

Heavy rain is like a note.

In the Qianyang Palace, Li Zhi glanced at the rainstorm outside, and his eyes fell lightly on Pei Yan.

"Pei Qing, there have been a lot of recent things in the Criminal Department, two Lang Zhong have been impeached by the Imperial History, I don't want to see all eight Lang Zhong in the Criminal Department demoted." Li Zhi gently placed the chapter in the left corner of the imperial case, leaned forward slightly, and said indifferently.

"It's the minister's guilt for failing to detect the fault of his subordinates in time." Pei Yan gave up his hand seriously, his face ashamed.

"People are saints and sages, and they are infallible." Li Zhi set his tone gently, and then said: "Some people, who have been in the Criminal Department for too long, will naturally have some delusions that they should not have. ”

"It's the ministers who mishandled it." Pei Yan lowered his head, and his expression became more worried.

"These people are handed over to Dali Temple to be dealt with according to the law, and the others, who should be distributed to other states and counties, will be distributed to other states and counties, and there should be new people in the Criminal Department." Li Zhi raised his head and glanced at Pei Yan deeply.

The corners of Pei Yan's mouth twitched, and he immediately gave up his hand: "Huh! ”

"The matter of the Criminal Department, the prince has handled it well, he is now busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Households, right?" Li Zhi looked sideways to the left.

Yuan Wanqing stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, in recent months, the prince has found out a large number of hidden fields, and plans to present the list of hidden fields to Your Majesty on His Majesty's birthday. ”

Li Zhi shook his head lightly and said, "Although this is a good thing, we must also pay attention to proportion...... Forget it, after all, it's Erlang's heart, so I'll just accept it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi said with a gloomy face: "In addition, I also want to see how many things about Yintian that Erlang has found out, and he is confident that it will be used as a birthday gift for me." ”

can make Li Xian as the emperor's birthday gift, I am afraid that the number of hidden fields must not be hundreds of thousands of acres, or even millions of acres.

That's a lot of weight.

"Your Majesty." Empress Wu sat aside, smiled and reassured: "This is the case of the world's acres of land, this is the case, the wealthy family, the local officials, the encroachment on the fertile land day and night, no one can prevent it, every once in a while, check a batch, and then behead it directly." ”

"What the queen said is very true." Li Zhi nodded and said, "There are also those local officials, who should be beheaded, and a batch of them will also be beheaded...... Yuan Qing, tell the Imperial History Observatory, the local record, Gong Cao, the trip to the main book, and a batch of them will be cut afterwards, these people are not trying their best! ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines always feel that the power of local supervision officials is too restricted." Empress Wu frowned and said, "Do you want to improve one or two?" ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly, and said: "I also agree with the queen's idea, but this matter is not easy, once it is moved, I am afraid that the entire court will be turbulent, even if this matter is to be done, it needs to find the right time, the right place, and it can't be too careful." ”

The determination of the entire bureaucratic system in the world is the result of decades of compromises between the royal family, the family, and countless courtiers.

In particular, the supervision system represents the control of the entire royal family over the family in the world.

Once there is a change, then it will immediately be countered by the world's families.

This kind of thing is not something that can be moved just by saying that you want to move.

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded, and said guiltily: "It's the concubine who is too eager." ”

Li Zhi raised his head, looked at the pouring rain outside the Qianyang Palace, and said softly: "This year, even the rain in the north is much more than the usual good solar terms, and the rain in the south is even more. ”

"San Lang has recently been the water supervisor of the capital, and he will be the supervisor, as well as the departments of the Ministry of Industry, who are busy before and after Luozhou, and the whole Luoyang has not suffered too much disaster." Empress Wu said comfortingly, which also interrupted Li Zhi's original thoughts.

Li Zhi smiled lightly, and then said: "Let the Taishi Bureau work more, I want to know, how much is this rain, how much is there this summer, and the matter of autumn taxes must not be delayed." ”

"There should be no big problem in the north, rivers, lakes and ponds in various places have dried up in the past two years, so supplemented, although there is harm, but it is not big, but in the south, some seriously affected places need to reduce taxes." Empress Wu looked at Li Zhi worriedly.

Li Zhi waved his hand slightly and said: "It's okay, even if the south is affected by the disaster, the treatment and food in the nearby states can also be delivered, but someone has to be sent to the south to inspect. ”

"Let the county prince of Pengcheng go." Empress Wu did not hesitate, and said directly: "Pengcheng County Duke is a native of Xuzhou, from Xuzhou to Yangzhou, he can just inspect the canal, and then enter the south of the Yangtze River to inspect the disaster and comfort the people." ”

"Okay, with the county prince of Pengcheng as the deposed ambassador of Jiangnan Province, I will inspect the relief and relief affairs of the states and counties on both sides of the Jiangnan Province on behalf of me, as well as the canals and the states and counties on both sides of the Huai River. Li Zhi made a decisive decision.

"Whoa!" Behind the curtain on one side, a housekeeper had already stood up, and then quickly picked up his pen.

The decree was quickly delivered to the door of the Chinese book.

After saying this, Li Zhi raised his head, looked at Pei Yan, and asked, "The departments of the Criminal Department, there is still no whereabouts of Ming Qing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty." Pei Yan groaned slightly and said, "There is a little trace, after Shiyin Zhenren left Luoyang, it seems that he went north. ”

"Going north?" Li Zhi's brows furrowed, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, he looked at Empress Wu, and asked seriously, "How is the Turkic disaster this year?" ”

There is a drought in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a drought in the Turks.

There is waterlogging in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a lot of Turkic rain.

"In some Turkic places where there was little water in previous years, there was nothing to do, after the rain, the grass grew and the warbler flew, but in all places where there was plenty of rain in previous years, there will be some troubles at this time, some lakes form swamps, and it is difficult to get in and out, let alone graze."

After a slight pause, Empress Wu said: "Although the heavy rain has an impact on the Turks, it mostly affects the large tribes that occupy the fertile land, and once something happens, they will invade other small tribes. ”

"It's not a good thing." Li Zhi shook his head decisively and said: "Send people to keep an eye on it, once the strength of the grassland tribe is too concentrated, let Pingyang County Gongsai patrol outside." ”

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded, and then asked, "Your Majesty thinks that Ming Shiyin went to the Turks to check the situation." ”

"Perhaps." Li Zhi shook his head slightly, and then sighed and said: "Even if he quietly went to the Turks, there should be news, I am more worried now, someone is spreading suspicions and delaying the investigation......"

Li Zhi looked up at Pei Yan and said, "Order all states and counties to no longer investigate the matter of Ming Chongyan, if there is a result, I am afraid that it will already have a result." Yuanqing! ”

"The minister is here!" Yuan Wanqing hurriedly stepped forward and gave up his hand.

"Let's go check on this matter." Li Zhi knocked lightly on the table and said in a heavy voice: "I want to know the real movement on the grassland recently. ”

"Yes!" Yuan Wanqing immediately bowed, and then slowly retreated.

"Your Majesty is worried that something will happen to the grassland?" Empress Wu had already understood Li Zhi's thoughts.

"Hmm!" Li Zhi nodded and said: "This year is the year of recuperation in the Tang Dynasty, although there are wars in the northwest, but they are all small wars, the key is that next year, as long as you can take Subi, you will be able to watch the Luo, but the battle of the Luo is the real hard bone."

All the hole cards of Tibet will be taken out in this battle, and all kinds of preparations will only be too little, not too much. ”

"The concubine understands." Empress Wu nodded seriously, she believed that even Li Xuan, who was far away in Changzhou, was scratching her head.

……

"Report the ......" A rush of footsteps sounded outside the hall, and then a Qianniu Wei entered the hall soaking wet, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, Changzhou three hundred miles to play the report." ”

Three hundred miles, urgent, but not too urgent.

Wang Fulai stepped forward and took out the piece in the arms of the Qianniu Guard, although the outside of the piece was a little wet, but when it was opened, it was dry.

After Li Zhi took it, he looked at it carefully and carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This is the marching strategy agreed upon by the Changzhou Governor's Office, crossing the Tongtian River and Yushu, killing to Qamdo, and then withdrawing from Qamdo, and finally when retreating to the Tongtian River, use the warship and the Qinling Tomb to fight." ”

In a letter, all the troops of Changzhou have been used, but only Changzhou.

"If he can get back." Empress Wu looked up at Li Zhi and asked in a low voice, "Is Your Majesty confident?" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhi smiled and said: "It is I who put a layer of restrictions on him, so he will be a little cautious, but once he falls into a desperate situation, there is no limit, as for after that, the unlucky one is on Qinling, but it doesn't hurt." ”

Empress Wu suddenly remembered, Li Xuan once said that he wanted to be the champion of the Tang Dynasty.

Once you fight with the marching method of the champion Hou, I am afraid that there is really no taboo.

Empress Wu put the chapter on the side and said: "Try it first, if you can really succeed, send back a golden Buddha back, and the concubine will personally give him a cup when the court is at the end of the year." ”

"Good!" Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh.

A big golden Buddha!

……

Under the gate of heaven, Pei Yan walked calmly, and at this time, a sound of footsteps sounded behind him.

"Pei Gong." In a word, Pei Yan immediately stopped.

He hurriedly turned around and arched his hand: "It turned out to be a writer, don't call the words of 'Pei Gong', Zilong can't afford it." ”

The word 'gong' must have exceptionally outstanding results in a certain aspect.

Zhang Da'an's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" can naturally be called 'Gong', but Pei Yan can't.

Although it is a compliment from others, there are hats that cannot be worn indiscriminately.

Pei Yan knew this.

"Brother Zilong is too cautious." Yuan Wanqing bowed his hand slightly, and then said, "Brother Zilong, please!" ”

"Please!" Pei Yan calmed down, and then walked side by side with Yuan Wanqing.

At this time, Yuan Wanqing said softly: "Can you trouble Brother Zilong for a favor?" ”

"Writer, please speak." Pei Yan nodded politely.

Yuan Wanqing groaned slightly, and said: "Trouble the Ministry of Punishment rumors to the outside world, just say that Shiyin Zhenren appeared in Turkic. ”

"Huh?" Pei Yan's footsteps stopped, and he had already come up with Yuan Wanqing's calculation in his mind, and then asked, "Which one does the secret guard plan to observe?" ”

"East Palace and Peng Wang's Mansion." Yuan Wanqing's face was gloomy, and he said: "Shiyin Zhenren once said that if something really happened to him, there would only be two suspects, the prince and the king of Nanchang. ”

"King of Nanchang." Pei Yan nodded slightly, his eyes faint.

"There's one more thing." Yuan Wanqing continued to speak.

"Please."

"The East Palace is for His Majesty's birthday, in addition to the good fields that are ready to be searched, it seems that other things have been prepared, and the secret guards can't find it, can the Criminal Department help check it?" Yuan Wanqing's words made Pei Yan couldn't help but be stunned, can't the secret guards even do this kind of thing now?

Could it be that since Ming Chongyan's death, the detective strength of the secret guards has dropped so much?

Ambition surged wildly in Pei Yan's heart.
