The emperor was angry because he had cultivated his own talents and was impeached.

But Zhao Tuo didn't say anything, because some of the officers and soldiers who were scattered and rescued after being captured were left in the Tsing Shirt team, strengthening the training of the Tsing Shirt team and improving its combat effectiveness, as well as Li Dan's acceptance of some rebels and lake bandit leaders who surrendered, surrendered, and accepted Zhao'an, and Zhao Chongbi reported these things to him in the secret za, and Li Dan never hid them from Zhao Chongbi.

But these can't be put on the table, and it's an uproar!

After the initial anger and annoyance had passed, the emperor suddenly calmed down. He casually took a cup of new tea from the palace maid's hand, and asked in a flat tone: "Yang Qing, when did I have to take the position of Jiangxi according to the judge?" ”

"Uh, this ......." Yang Shi'an thought that Li Dan's name has jumped out a lot recently, and His Majesty also conferred the title of sixteen-year-old boy and the official position of the sixth grade, he won't be so forgetful, right?

In an instant, he understood that this recital in Jiangxi was not simple, and the emperor's questioning was not simple. That...... What should I say? "Your Majesty, maybe it's because Li Dan has a meritorious position, so Jiangxi doesn't dare to make decisions without permission."

In the end, it is Yang Shizhen's younger brother, and his brain is quite fast. In this dynasty, the honorable and noble violated the law or the local request was punished according to the law, or handed over to the Dali Temple for trial.

"Oh!" The Emperor nodded, the reason barely justified. "In that case, what is Shi Hao's opinion?"

"Shi Hao has just arrived, the situation is unknown, and he does not dare to specialize. And Li Dan's direct boss is now a right-hand politician and a fellow acquaintance with Lord Zhao, Shi Hao is worried that it will cause unnecessary trouble at this time, so he asks for an order,"

"In that case, quasi-play!" The emperor agreed with Shi Hao's opinion: "Tell Shi Hao that this matter will be pressed for the time being and will be talked about later." Li Dan is talented, but if he is wrong, I will not turn a blind eye! ”

"Obey the order!"

"Yang Qing, Gu Lin went to Liaodong to mediate the land dispute between Huila, Luyan and Nuzhi III, but the military department happened to catch up with Jiangxi to suppress bandits, so I want to ask Qing to bother more." After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at him:

In addition, Shi Hao is already the political envoy of Zuobu in Jiangnan West Province, and the Xuanfu envoy is his errand.

Although this incident is the experience of impeaching the Propaganda and Restoration Division, the impeachment submitted by the procurator to the political envoy rather than the Xuanfu envoy should be directly handed over to the cabinet in the future, and the cabinet should ask the Imperial Historical Observatory for inquiries, not directly to the Ministry of War.

You have to point this out to Shi Hao when you reply to him. ”

"Obey the order!"

Zhao Tuo lost the interest in playing, and after Yang Shi'an left the palace, he sat down for a while and returned. As soon as he walked to the corridor of the Qiande Palace, he saw Liu Wei, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, waiting for him with a box in his hand. "Fold? Where did it come from? He hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, Jiangxi, Raozhou."

Zhao Tuo glanced at Eunuch Liu, went in first, and when he came in and opened the box, and when he took out the secret fold to look at it, the cover read: "Minister Liu Xi, long live the emperor again." ”

When I opened it, it was Liu Xi who reported that Li Dan had received the prince of Fengning County and had escorted him to Anren, and attached a copy of His Royal Highness the county king's request for guilt and Li Dan's report before and after.

Zhao Tuo first looked at the excerpt of the county king, and saw that he said that he surrounded Shangrao with the Duke of Xuancheng and the Duke of Yicheng, and vowed to live and die with the army and the people, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, the prince of the world was picked up safe and sound, and Zhao Tuo sighed and opened it to see Li Dan's fold.

This is the first time he has seen Li Dan's handwriting, and it is actually a smooth handwriting, which makes Zhao Tuo's eyes light up, and he can't help but applaud: "Good words!" ”

Li Dan wrote at the beginning of the letter: "Chen Dan, long live the emperor's majesty."

I couldn't help but make the emperor laugh. It turns out that eunuchs who are generally on a business trip write like this, and the official should write "Li Dan, the experience of the Xuanfu Division of Jiangnan West Province and the envoy of the Raozhou regiment".

He wrote like that, and the emperor knew at a glance that he was copying Liu Xi's homework, but he didn't care about it and continued to read it.

It is strange to say that Li Dan's recital is not like the scriptures written by other courtiers, but it is half a hundred and half texts.

Among them, he reported in detail that he and Zhao Chongbi discussed the deployment of troops, the formation and composition of the troops, and then how to break through the three cities in three days, how to attack Guangxin and rush to transport food, materials, and soldiers into Shangrao overnight;

How to use the contradictions between the Lou family brothers to persuade Lou Shiming to wait and see, and later designed to capture the flower arm, so the suspicious soldiers delayed the two kings, and after the hostages were returned in Qigongtan, the Snake Mountain divided the troops;

The battle of Huang Nixuan, the two sides got rid of the pursuit and reunited, crossed Xing'an, Geyang shook a shot, etc., sprinkled thousands of words.

I saw that the emperor was so interested that he didn't even see the lunch when it was served. In the end, it was said that thirty percent of the soldiers in the whole team were wounded, and nearly two percent were killed when the emperor was silent.

When Eunuch Liu came to remind the emperor to eat again, Zhao Tuo handed him Li Dan's fold, and when he returned to the study after Cao Cao's dinner, the emperor asked, "Have you seen it?" How is it? ”

"Alas! He is truly courageous, resourceful, loyal and courageous! Eunuch Liu gave a thumbs up: "The old slave dares to say that a thousand people can retreat from the enemy in a group of 100,000 people, Li Sanlang is really the son of the world!" Such talents are really rare! ”

"Rare in the world!" The emperor said: "He didn't just go to pick up a son back, he also provoked the relationship between the Lou family's father and son, hit Yintuo hard, and eliminated the most elite cavalry in Lou Zishi's hands."

And the most wonderful thing is that he asked for sin: he took it upon himself to collect the soldiers of Siguo, and transferred the grain and grass materials accumulated by Guangxin into Shangrao, although he abandoned Guangxin, but this Shangrao is really like an iron bucket!

He did a great thing for me, Shangrao received tens of thousands of stone grain and thousands of official reinforcements, which can be imagined to be safer. And the king of the county did not withdraw, but made the will of the whole city to defend the city more firm.

As Li Dan said in the excerpt, the officers and troops can be surrounded on several sides, and it is a matter of time before Lou Zishi is defeated!

Moreover, he induced Lou Shiming to occupy Guangxin, which would most likely cause a conflict between him and Yintuo. This Li Sanlang, the design is so exquisite, it's really amazing at such a young age! ”

Eunuch Liu smiled and observed the emperor, and saw that his expression did not bring much joy when he spoke, so he tried to say: "However, Xiumu Yu Lin also." ”

"No," Zhao Tuo sat down behind the bookcase, "I'm also worried about this." Before he was allowed to enter the court, there was already an impeachment, which can't help but make people worry. ”

"It's good that I'm sincere." Eunuch Liu said softly.

"Fortunately, I can still pull him when necessary, otherwise the gods will not be able to save him!"

"That's fine."

"Hmm!" The emperor nodded: "It's too smooth but it's not appropriate, it is necessary to make him suffer something." He thought for a while: "How can a person who is on the job of observing things suddenly remember to have trouble with a group training?" There's quirkiness here. ”

"Your Majesty, isn't there someone in the Pterodactyl Guard over there?"

"That's right! We sent two people, and one of them, Li Dan, left him in Shangrao. To send a message to that other person, you don't have to go back to Beijing to restore your life first, just stay by Li Dan's side to protect you, and you must not leave an inch!

At the same time, he sent a message to the Wing Loong Guard in Nanchang, asking him to investigate the situation of this matter. To be honest, I'm a little worried now, is it that Li Sanlang offended someone and caused the other party to plot against him? ”

"Yes. So, ...... the prince of the county? ”

The emperor crossed his arms and thought about it, and said: "Since you came here in the name of celebrating the birthday of the Empress Dowager, let Liu Xi escort him to Beijing, prepare a place to live in the Ten Kings Pavilion, and then select two masters and two companions for him." ”

"Obey."

Usually at this time, the emperor will go back to the palace to prepare for a nap, but today there is none. Zhao Tuo stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and thought in a rather old-fashioned manner, and the hall was silent, and even Eunuch Liu didn't dare to disturb him much.

Although the impeachment of Li Dan seems to be only aimed at a six-grade official, he has just been promoted, and normally speaking, even if there is a mistake in the judge, the person who follows the judge will not immediately enter the impeachment procedure, but first communicate and warn the other party, unless the other party turns a blind eye to it, he will have to impeach.

How could it be Li Dan's turn to do this, and all the procedures were crossed in one step? The Emperor felt something unusual. Hmph, if someone wants to jump out, then I'll let the mud jump and see who is playing hide and seek with me! Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth gently.

"Father, please use tea." Yang Di gently placed a cup of tea on Yang Min's desk.

"Hmm." Yang Mian put down the pen, took off the eyes and rubbed his hairy eyes, and said: "San Lang, today's emperor suddenly gave Yang Xiuzhen a special gift, which is really enviable." ”

"Father, that doesn't mean much."

"Huh? How? ”

"The little emperor was happy for a while, and he was just interested."

"Really?" Yang Min stroked his gray beard: "For my father, I really hope that the emperor can think more about the good of the old prince." ”

"Even if he thinks of the old people, he doesn't necessarily ...... you. What's more, there have always been people in the court who are openly and secretly fueling the troubles, and they can't wait to take your place tomorrow? After Yang Di finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to help his father get up from the seat.

Yang Min walked around the house twice with his support, and sneered: "People think I'm in love, but I don't know that the old man really wants to retreat, but now he can't retreat!"

You see, Gu Lin and Zhu Zhan have just entered the cabinet, and the cabinet will not move again this year, that is, after next year's big competition, nine times out of ten, Hou Xie will go down, and then the old man.

So, at least I'll have to stay in this position for half a year or a year. ”

"Although the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, it can ...... It's too hard for my father to do this! Yang Di frowned and said.

"Take your time, and hopefully these last few steps will be good." After Yang Min finished speaking, he stopped: "Do you have any friends in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

The topic jumped too fast, Yang Di was stunned, and replied: "The child knows two or three imperial histories. What did my father command? ”

"Today, the Ministry of War forwarded Shi Hao's memo from Jiangxi, saying that there was a case of impeachment of the Xuanfu Division according to the judge's pretense Li Dan."

Yang Di listened inexplicably, why did his father suddenly become concerned about this trivial matter of impeaching the six-grade official? "Father, what does he think is wrong with this?" He asked softly.

"It's not inappropriate, it's ridiculous!" Yang Min sneered: "This Li Dan was just picked up by His Majesty from the Jiupin Capital Inspection Jane a month ago, and now someone has jumped out to impeach, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"Isn't this a slap in the face?" Yang Di was surprised: "Who is so bold? ”

"The point is, who is so bold behind him?" Yang Min said: "This is to tell the whole world that Your Majesty is too young and has no knowledge of people!" ”

"Your Majesty must be very angry?"

"There is news from the palace that His Majesty's lunch is very sloppy." Yang Min walked to the window and held his breath, and after making sure that there was no one, he returned to the bookcase: "You ask someone to check the background of that affair to see if there is anything strange behind him."

In short, this matter must be investigated, and it must not be before the old man is about to withdraw from the court, so that His Majesty can misunderstand that I am making trouble. I, Yang Jin, are in control of the government, but I have never thought of being a powerful minister, let alone challenging Your Majesty! ”

Just when Yang Min was angry that someone was suddenly angry at Li Dan, Xie Minhong was also surprised by this. "Lao Gao, who do you think will be behind this matter?" He asked Gao Moling.

Now there are only two of them in the house, and Xie Minhong has involved the emperor's face and reputation because of this matter, so he didn't look for anyone else.

"Isn't it Jun?" Gao Moling asked jokingly.

"Me? How so? I just think that Er Yang has been in charge of the government for too long, so I am willing to stand up and lead everyone to change this lifeless appearance.

Qingsong, how did you think that I would go against Your Majesty? It's a must-have! Xie Minhong was startled and hurriedly shook his hand to defend.

"I naturally know that Cong'an will not do such a thing, just talking and laughing, offended, offended." Gao Moling gave his hand, and then said:

"Yang Taige is a cautious person, he wouldn't do such a thing. And to let a five-grade thing take a great risk to do this kind of thing, it has to be a big force. He looked at Xie Minhong suspiciously: "Is there still a force hidden under the undercurrent, we don't know?" ”

When he said this, Xie Minhong's face turned a little pale. That's right, the one who dares to weaken the emperor's influence and hit his image is definitely a big force, and this force will be much deeper than himself and Yang Jin!

What is even more frightening is that this force has so far gone unnoticed, or never surfaced. He couldn't help but shudder: "Who is it?" ”

"I was the county magistrate of the Lu family back then." Gao Moling slowly spoke: "I remember that there is an old official in the torture room, who is extremely accurate in judging cases. He was consulted by the lowly officer, and the man said, "There are only three things to decide a case, who is present, who is related, and who is beneficial!" ”

His words did not give a correct explanation, but they caused Xie Minhong to think deeply.

"Tomorrow, you will work hard to see what the Metropolitan Procuratorate knows, and how much does he know about this matter?" Xie Minhong said. Gao Moling took over the matter.

At this time, someone outside the door spoke: "Steward Lin, my eldest brother is here?" ”

"Master, there are guests here, why don't you wait and come back?" This is the voice of the housekeeper Lin He.

"Oh, it's the son who is here, then I will leave first." Gao Moling stood up. Xie Minhong sent him off, and when he went out, he saw his younger brother Xie Minzhong in the courtyard, and saw them busy saluting.

"It turned out to be Lord Gao, disturbed." Xie Minzhong slammed to the ground. He is the ninth in the family and is Xie Minzhong's half-brother, and the two are twenty-three years apart.

Born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a black hair tied behind his head with a brown ribbon, wearing a water-colored silk wool, standing under the lamp can be described as a jade tree in the wind.

Gao Moling had already seen him a few times, knowing that he was here to prepare for the Ming Chun Exam, he nodded and smiled, and said to Xie Minhong: "Every time I see Jiulang, it's a pity that Gao has no sister and no daughter, and I really envy people!" ”

Xie Minhong laughed: "When he finishes his high school entrance examination, he will definitely ask his brother to be a good matchmaker!" ”

Gao Moling was overjoyed: "A word is a certainty!" Saying goodbye to the Xie brothers, he took the chief and went out by himself.

"Tall is an interesting character." Xie Minzhong was praised and proud, and said to his brother: "He treats people kindly, and he doesn't look like an official." ”

Xie Minhong smiled and did not comment, and asked him: "Come to me for something?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's just...... Today, I made an appointment with friends to go to Kaiyuan Temple to enjoy the snow, and came back to Wenmiao Street to eat wine and talk about poetry.

During the banquet, there were students from Jiangxi, who said that there was a Li Sanlang who was a civil and military all-round talent in his hometown of Raozhou, and wrote the sentence "The sharp dischief is a frightening bird, and the grass moves to show the ambush and kill", as well as the sentence "The sunset on the long bridge is quiet, and the water reflects the herons and ducks are more slender".

He also said that he had all kinds of anecdotes and the merits of killing the enemy and breaking the enemy, and it was said that even the Son of Heaven appreciated it, and he was knighted at the age of sixteen, and he was a great character! Xie Minzhong said, his eyes full of yearning:

"Wen shocked the worldly people, Wu relieved the worries of the Son of Heaven, I didn't expect that there was such a talent in my dynasty! Does the eldest brother know about him? ”

"Of course you know, so what?" Xie Minhong asked with a smile.

"The younger brother doesn't understand, with such a talent, why can't the court be more tolerant, instead of impeaching immediately?"

"You're not an official and what are you doing about such things? There must be a reason for the impeachment of the imperial history. The smile on Xie Minhong's face was gone.

"It's not nonsense to say that he hid deserters and harbored bandit leaders, if he did such a thing, how could he fight against the thieves and win many battles? I really don't know what the purpose of that imperial history is! Could it be that I also have a Zhang Jun and Wan Qian ......? The more Xie Minzhong spoke, the more excited he became.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Xie Minhong shouted angrily. Suddenly, he was stunned, looked back at his brother and asked, "Who told you these things, where, and when?" ”

Xie Minzhong was just yelled at, and he was feeling aggrieved, listening to the eldest brother's question, he replied unhappily: "At noon today, when we were eating and chatting, two drunken guys came over and said. They also said ....... ”

"Say what?"

"It is said that Your Majesty is young, and he is not old after all, but this time he is out of ......sight."

"Shut up!" Xie Minhong interrupted him and gritted his teeth in annoyance: "Who are those two people?" ”

"No, we've never met. Brother Zitan was going to reason with them, but Han Huizhi stopped him, saying that he knew one of them and told him that he couldn't afford to offend. ”

"Which palace?"

"This ......?" Xie Minzhong grinned: "I can't remember, is it important?" ”

"It's a matter of imperial court secrets, you'd better think about it seriously!" Seeing that his brother said solemnly, Xie Minzhong was a little hairy, and he tried to recall: "It's the palace in the west, which one is coming?" Pinched his fingers and counted them one by one, and finally his eyes lit up: "Yes, it's King Xiang!" ”

Xie Minhong was dumbfounded, and many questions in his heart were immediately solved. "I see!" After talking to himself, he took his brother by the sleeve and told him in a low voice:

"Listen up, Jiurou, this matter is strange. Jiangxi's report to the imperial court arrived this morning and was informed to His Majesty before noon, and then the recital was forwarded to the cabinet by the Ministry of War, which immediately informed the Zhongshu that it was anxious to hold a meeting between the Imperial Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials. ”

Xie Minzhong shuddered, and he immediately understood what his brother meant. The emperor also saw this piece before noon, and even the cabinet didn't know about it at that time, but he had already heard it in the restaurant, how is it not strange!

"Don't be afraid, being a brother will naturally not harm you, but will give you a chance to show your face. However, you have to go to Han Huizhi and ask him around the bend to make sure that person is from Xiangwangfu.

Then let's go quietly to see if there is such a person in the Xiangwang Mansion. The key to this matter is probably in this person! A grim smile appeared on Xie Minhong's face.

The struggle for power was one thing, but that did not prevent him from consciously upholding the rule of the empire as a member of the civilian bureaucracy. If he found that someone was trying to disrupt the order, he would not mind stepping forward to defend the dynasty.

Some people died, but not completely......
