Those gentry families who participated in the troubles will never recover. Some of the big officials and gentry who manipulated and commanded behind the scenes were caught and thrown into prison by the people of Yushitai, and after the review was completed, they were immediately decided, and they died faster than Pei Yanling and Dou Shen. All their belongings were confiscated. Those who have officials and lords are deprived of them. Relatives of children and grandchildren were reduced to commoners. Most of them were degraded from the national capital, exiled to Lingnan, or thrown to the front and forced into labor.

Excluding those insignificant thugs, there were as many as two or three hundred wealthy gentry who suffered in this Suzaku Gate incident. Several of the most influential gates in the national capital city were almost uprooted and disappeared from the political stage of Daqi. Now, only the Guo family is left in the national capital, and his side Wu Zhongru. These two families. has always been low-key and loyal to the imperial court, and he is the prince's hardcore confidant, and since then he has become a powerful giant in the national capital.

It was a bloody purge. The gentry class was originally the foundation and arm of imperial power. But as Xiao Yunhe himself said. When this foundation and arm have a cancer that threatens the safety of the whole, it is also necessary to treat it with a strong medicine. This dose of fierce medicine is like tearing off the tumor with the skin, revealing the bloody white flesh, and then applying the medicine to slowly recover. Looking at the Chinese network all the way, the nobles and gentry, the people who have always held the imperial power are both loved and hated. These people were the emperor's most powerful helpers, the foundation and important support of the regime. However, often this class of people. They all like to be big, they think they are indispensable, and the emperor and the court can't do without them. Moreover, they often gather people to provoke and oppose the imperial court, and their biggest weapon is that they think that the law is not the rule of law. Didn't think of it. This time, they met a black-faced Yan Jun, no matter if they were killed in three or seven twenty-one, they would talk about it. Many people don't figure it out when they die. Why did this newly ascended crown prince dare to do these things that even the emperor did not dare to do.

Regardless of the cause and experience of the incident, the result is that the new crown prince has erected supreme authority, an absolute authority that no one dares to infringe upon after the Suzaku Gate incident. Even the people closest to him were a little afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.

Just when Li Sheng, Yi Shen, and Li Xilie were fighting in the Bianzhou area, it was difficult to judge the outcome of the battle, and the pattern in the court also appeared in a state of chaos. A period of chaos that must be experienced after breaking and standing is at this time.

Since many officials were either dismissed in the embezzlement cases of Pei and Dou, or were executed in the Suzaku Gate case, there were many vacancies in the imperial court, and naturally some things were not taken care of. While Xiao Yunhe was rectifying the team and mobilizing people to take over various matters, he was in full swing to reorganize the three provinces and six departments of Daqi.

The existing court officials, as well as the top ten bachelors of the Chongwen Pavilion of the East Palace, have become Xiao Yunhe's first choice. After discussing with Wu Yuanheng, Lu Zhen, Xue Cuncheng, Li Mian and others for many days, and listening to the opinions of the top ten scholars, they finally sorted out a general idea of the personnel of the three provinces and six departments.

Zhongshu Province, specially for the emperor to draft edicts and pardons, and is responsible for recommending talents and providing strategies around him, is the emperor's closest staff group. Looking at the court, except for Li Mian, no one can take on the important position of the Sanpin Zhongshu Order. Now the Zhongshu Province of Daqi is in vain. The duties of drafting the edict and the pardon were all done by the scholars of the Hanlin Academy. Li Huaiguang, the former secretary of the Central Committee, did not manage anything in the DPRK at all, but was just a fictitious position. Xiao Yunhe decided to appoint Li Mian as the Zhongshu Order, and at the same time, in order to take care of Li Huaiguang, he was added as the champion general, who was also the military officer of Sanpin. That way, he won't feel any sense of loss. In addition, the famous Jiang Gongfu was selected from the original emperor's staff group and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, and served as a Zhongshu squire together with the great Confucian Kong Chao's father. In the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace, several scholars were also elected to the Zhongshu Province and served as Zhongshu Sheren. These people will become the think tank around Xiao Yunhe and the plaque that attracts people from all over the world. Merely. Their actual power is somewhat weaker than that of the other two provincial officials. More often than not, it's just playing with books and pens.

Menxia Province, this is a department that Xiao Yunhe is most concerned about. Among the top governors of Menxia Province, there is no particularly suitable candidate for the time being, so it is vacant. The left counsellor Lu Zhen and the right counsellor Xue Cuncheng. The two of them are in charge of the affairs of the province together. Lu Shi was also appointed as the prime minister. Wang Pi and Wang Shuwen were also transferred to Menxia Province and served as Menxia Servants. These four people have become Xiao Yunhe's four most important counselors in the future. Take a closer look. These four people have never been very obedient to him. It can also be seen from this that Xiao Yunhe deliberately found some people who often couldn't get along with him and served as counselors by his side. Otherwise, it is easy to lose the meaning of the word "official".

Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province. All were departments that were very close to the emperor. Even the office office is located in the palace. On both sides of the Taiji Palace, it is where the yamen of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are located. In addition, Hongbunkan is the place where the prime ministers discuss their daily affairs. It's right next to the door. There, it is also like the brain of the earth, and the things that are dealt with every day are all important events related to the world. In addition to the emperor in the Taiji Hall when he was in the last dynasty, many other times, he also ran to the Hongwen Pavilion.

Shangshu Province is the functional department that actually implements the instructions of the emperor and the imperial court. The six parts are also listed under the province of Shangshu. If it is said that the prime minister, the Zhongshu, and those people under the door are all brains. Then Shangshu Province is the central nervous system and limbs. How well they perform their functions will have a direct bearing on the fate of the entire country.

The Ministry of Officials -- for the time being, can be said to be the most important functional department of Daqi today. Governing the people first governs the officials, and now the court has undergone great changes. Officials are scattered and uneven. How officials are appointed, dismissed, and selected will be for a long time to come. One of the most important things in Daqi. This candidate for the secretary of the ministry, except for Wu Yuanheng, Xiao Yunhe no longer thinks about it. This, presumably, does not need too many reasons, and outsiders will not have any objections. At the beginning, the eldest grandson Wuji also served as the secretary of the ministry, which shows the importance of the ministry. Since Wu Yuanheng is still very young after all, he has just aged thirty, and his qualifications and reputation are still a little insufficient, so it is not easy to appoint him as the prime minister of the Tongzhong Shumen for the time being. In the future, after making enough achievements in the Ministry of Officials to convince the public, the post of prime minister is indispensable.

The Ministry of War, the official appointment of this place, once gave Xiao Yunhe a headache for a while. The four generalissimos, anyone can hold this position. However, appointing any one of them as the secretary of the military department is likely to hurt the feelings of the other three. For this reason, Xiao Yunhe did not waste much effort to consider the position of secretary of the Ministry of War. He even asked Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan their opinions in person. The two generals naturally refused to serve as their own prevarications, and recommended Ma Sui or Li Sheng to serve as the two generals. Later, Xiao Yunhe consulted Li Mian and other famous scholars again, and finally finalized the candidate-Li Sheng. In Li Huaiguang's words, that is, to talk about war, none of us is afraid of anyone. However, if you want to say that you have to play with the pen to serve as the secretary of the military department to deal with military affairs, this candidate must be the old garlic. At the same time, Ma Sui naturally can't be lazy. Xiao Yunhe thought very clearly, because more than a hundred years ago, he had personally blocked the position of Shang Shuling, so in the past hundred years, this position has been vacant many times. Now, the old man held it before he became emperor, but it was also a false position, and he also held it when he was still the king of Han, and he did not care about anything. Therefore, the position of Shang Shuling might as well be left vacant according to the usual practice. Only the left and right servants of Shangshu were appointed to jointly perform the functions of Shangshu Ling and command the six departments. Ma Sui, who is far away in Hebei, naturally cannot come to the DPRK to deal with the affairs of the six ministries. However, this position of left servant shoots is none other than him. In this way, Ma Sui, who ranked above the six books, also became the prime minister of course. This kind of treatment should satisfy Ma Sui and his 100,000 troops. As for the position of the right servant, it is only a vacancy for the time being. Otherwise, if Ma Sui is not there, the right servant will be the only one to form a hall. In addition, since the secretary of the military department is not in the court, the affairs of the military department need to be taken care of. Therefore, I had no choice but to aggrieve Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan, and each took up the position of squire of the military department, temporarily provoking the responsibilities of the military department. When Li Sheng returns to the dynasty victoriously, then he will be in the prime minister.

After the two most important books, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, were finalized. The candidates for the other four departments are easy to choose. Du Huangshang has worked in both the Criminal Department and the Yushitai, is familiar with the laws of Daqi, and is also very safe in handling affairs. It is more appropriate for him to take up the post of secretary of the criminal department to take charge of the punishment.

The main function of the Ministry of Rites is to be in charge of the rituals, sacrifices, banquets and tributes in the court. It is more appropriate to have a person who is familiar with the court etiquette system and has a prominent background. Wei Zhiyi's family has produced fourteen prime ministers, and he himself is also famous for his rich and five cars, and he is a well-known talent in the country. Let him be the Minister of Culture and Education. That's a perfect fit.

The candidates for the Ministry of Engineering will be better finalized. Jia Tan and Li Jifu are both proficient in geography. Jia Tan is nearly fifty years old, born in a prominent family, and his character and talent are respected by the courtiers. If he is appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, there must not be too many people who disagree. Li Jifu, who was only 30 years old, served as a waiter in the Ministry of Works and served as his deputy, which was also conducive to learning and cultivating talents.

Candidate for the head of the Tobe Shoshu. At one point, he was hovering back and forth among several candidates. Later, Li Mian came forward to recommend a person to Xiao Yunhe - Wang Yi. This person has held various official positions in various places in Daqi. But no matter where he goes, he is doing well and is very good at managing his finances. He will be in charge of the treasury of Daqi and make plans for the economy of Daqi. It's also very appropriate to think about. After Li Mian put forward this opinion, no one objected. And Xiao Yunhe believes in Li Mian, who is a talent recommended by him. You can't go wrong. As a result, a piece of paper made Wang Yi, who was serving as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, become the head of the household department and became the housekeeper of Daqi.

So far, the main candidates of the three provinces and six ministries have all been finalized. A new political team appeared by Xiao Yunhe's side. From the perspective of the overall framework, there is a famous Confucian like Kong Chaofu. There are also heroes like Li Mian who everyone looks up to. There are young talents like Wu Yuanheng, and there are also old and serious people like Jia Tan. There are Lu Zhen and Xue Cuncheng, who dare to act and speak out, as well as Wang Pi and Wang Shuwen, who actively innovate and pursue breakthroughs. There is a little-known nobody, Wang Yi, and there is also a famous family Wei Zhiyi, whose background is displayed. All kinds of people, all walks of life. The combination makes perfect sense.

A temporary new imperial court is about to appear on the political stage of Daqi. It is dominated by the principal officials of these three provinces and six ministries. With some of the original officials, this new three provinces and six departments give people a refreshing feeling. No one doubts that these people are just empty officials with no real power. Among them, Lu Zhen, the doctor of the left counsel, and Li Sheng, the secretary of the military department, were also appointed as the Pingzhang affairs of the Tongzhongshu Men, and served as the prime minister together with the Zhongshu Ling Li Mian and the left servant of the Shangshu Shangshu Shooting Ma Sui. Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that the four Zaiji are in the middle, and Li Sheng and Ma Sui are not in the court. Li Mian is old, and he will not deal with any serious matters. In other words, the prime minister, who once occupied all the power of Daqi in one fell swoop, has been divided and replaced by people from three provinces and six ministries. The division of powers, each performing its own responsibilities and supervising each other, this is the new court order that Xiao Yunhe wants to establish.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't think that the prime minister is unimportant. It's just that his days in the DPRK are still short, and he can't form a convincing team of prime ministers. Now, except for Lu Zhen and Li Mian, there are indeed no too suitable candidates. Maybe Kong Chao's father is famous enough, but his full of talent and learning may not be able to take charge of the country and the country alone, so he can only serve as a senior staff; Wu Yuanheng and Xue Cuncheng's ability is enough, but they are still young, and their qualifications and fame are insufficient, which is also a helpless thing. Therefore, above the court of Daqi, there was the rarest scene in Daqi for decades - there were only two prime ministers. One of them is still the aging Li Mian. In fact, there is only one prime minister left, Lu Zhen.

This situation has made more than ninety percent of the officials very uncomfortable. It's just that Xiao Yunhe didn't feel anything wrong. In fact, as long as the three provinces and six ministries are operating normally, these officials of the three provinces and six ministries who are able to handle affairs can enter the Hongwen Hall at any time and sit on the prime minister's chairs that everyone in the world wants to wear. Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi or Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin, in Xiao Yunhe's opinion, is more of a title. Whoever is qualified to serve as prime minister in the future, even if he is not the prime minister, but has made the corresponding contribution to the prime minister now, this is the question he really cares about.

Now, the test of Xiao Yunhe and the officials of the three provinces and six ministries has officially begun.

In the early morning of this day, Xiao Yunhe, as in the past, drove out of the East Palace to go to the court. But today, the mood is very different. In the court like this, whether it was as an emperor in the previous life, or as a prince and a prince in this life, I don't know how many times. But this time, he felt an unprecedented excitement, even a little excitement and uneasiness.

Because today is the first day that the new court of Great Qi officially began to operate after its bloody rebirth. What stands in the court is a new team formed by himself. What kind of atmosphere will this new imperial court glow with, and whether these people can be competent, is the question that Xiao Yunhe thinks about the most.

The sun rises in the east, and the morning glow is overwhelming. The majestic imperial city is covered with ten thousand golden lights. On the Longwei Road of the Taiji Palace, a new red carpet has also been paved, and the spotless white jade aisle seems to have become more dazzling. Two rows of mighty and majestic flying dragon cavalry armored soldiers stood beside the dragon tail road and formed an honor guard queue. The morning breeze blows and the flags fly. A solemn and majestic aura loomed out.

Xiao Yunhe walked forward along the Longwei Road one level at a time, followed by hundreds of civil and military officials, and lined up in two queues to follow behind.

Although he is still only the crown prince of the state, now, his separation from the emperor is only a ceremonial difference. Looking at this new imperial court that he set up with his own hands, although Xiao Yunhe felt heavy pressure and some worries, he was more full of hope and expectation, and full of confidence.

The giant drum of the Bell and Drum Tower sounded, and the entire imperial city also woke up from its slumber and was full of vitality.

Xiao Yunhe walked along the crimson carpet to the front of the Jinluan Palace, and suddenly turned around. The civil and military officials bowed down in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!

"Emperor Sheng'an, please stand up!" Xiao Yunhe stretched out his hands, a satisfied smile on his face.

On the left, there are a group of military generals headed by Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan, and on the right, there are civil officials headed by Li Mian and Kong Chaofu. Unfamiliar faces like Wu Yuanheng and Xue Cuncheng also appeared in red robes for the first time in the court train. It can be seen that there is also a little excitement in their eyes.

Xiao Yunhe glanced around at Chaozhong. "Ladies and gentlemen, at the beginning of the establishment of the three provinces and six ministries, Vientiane was full of vitality and hope. I hope that everyone will fulfill their duties and make their due contributions to the revival of the great unity. ”

After a brief opening remark, Xiao Yunhe immediately cut to the chase: "Although the three provinces and six departments already have a general structure, they are staffed. It's not very neat. Therefore, in the future, please spare no effort to recommend talents for the imperial court. The internal move does not avoid relatives, and the external move does not avoid hatred. Regardless of the origin and identity background, as long as it is a real talent, the court will definitely reuse it. Meanwhile. However, if the minister who recommends talents and competent, the court will also reward him heavily. At the same time, the imperial examination should also be taken seriously, and talent should not be lost. Wu Yuanheng, Wei Zhiyi. The two of you are divided into the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, and you have to spend more time on the affairs of the imperial examination. So much has happened this year. Those who have passed the Jinshi and Jinshi and the first, many of them must have gone to the wealthy gentry in the national capital to take the papers, hoping to get their recommendation to enter the official career. But now that they themselves have disappeared, the fate of those jinshi can be imagined. Therefore, I plan to re-elect the imperial examination in a month's time. Both of you, take responsibility. ”

Wu Yuanheng and Wei Zhiyi got out of the train and promised to do so.

Xiao Yunhe paused. said: "In the future, the imperial court should pay more attention to all Jinshi and Jinshi. There are often many people with real talents and learning, because there is no door to take refuge in the country, and in the end, Sun Shan is buried. Therefore. In the future, the Ministry of Rites must attach importance to any public receipt from a person. Because it is often voted for the public. There is no door to cover them, so don't bury them. ”

Wei Zhiyi received the order again.

The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was like this. Originally, it was not an easy thing to get a jinshi or jinshi and a first. But being admitted doesn't necessarily mean that you can enter the career safely. After passing the entrance examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites, there is another hurdle called the selection examination. And this selection test is equivalent to the current interview, which is presided over by the ministry. Therefore, there are more objective factors in this. If there is a strong recommendation from a famous official, it is naturally easy to attract attention and easy to get a little clear; if you are from a humble background, you must rely on real talent and strength to work hard. If you can't pass this pass, at most you can only go to the mansion of the official and noble to become a staff member, and then work hard to manage your career. Over the years, the various systems of Daqi have been corrupted, and the gentry and wealthy families are strongly recommending their henchmen and then making it convenient for them to form gangs. As a result, the officials of the Great Qi also began to become uneven. This is also the reason why Xiao Yunhe attached so much importance to the officials and the imperial examination after rectifying the wealthy gentry in the national capital. He just wants to take the key of good talents from the root, and ensure that all the talents absorbed by the imperial court are talents with both ability and political integrity.

When talking about this, the counselor Lu Zhen stood up: "Lord Prince, the minister has something to say." ”

Xiao Yunhe glanced at him and thought to himself, are you finally going to offer your first piece of advice?

"Speak. ”

Lu Zhen Langlang said: "The minister thinks that what the lord just said is not appropriate to re-hold the imperial examination in a month. ”

Xiao Yunhe frowned slightly: "What is the reason?"

Lu Zhen said: "Historically, the selection and examination of the officials of the imperial examination have been carried out in the spring, so it is also called the spring festival. This is a major event that all scholars in the world pay close attention to, and it has always been a routine to enter Beijing at this time to take the exam. The adults suddenly announced that they would hold a re-examination in a month's time...... I have a vast territory, and many students who live far away from home do not have time to reach the national capital. This is grossly unfair to them. Moreover, this will also disrupt the existing rules and bring great trouble to the world's readers. At the same time, it is also a kind of negation of the efforts made by His Majesty the Emperor Xià before. Therefore, Weichen thought that this matter would never be feasible. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled in his heart: Good guy, on the first day he went to court, he gave me a slap in the face.

However, he also knew that this time it was indeed his own thinking that was inappropriate, so he said: "Lu Zhen's mentions, what do you think?"

Xue Cuncheng immediately stood up: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Kong Chao's father and Li Mian are the two great Confucians. Agreed.

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I will withdraw the previous order and not re-hold the imperial examination in a month." However, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites should re-examine the examination papers of Jinshi and Jinshi and the first, and try not to let any talent be lost. ”

Lu Yi bent down and bowed: "That's it." The minister had no objection. ”

Xiao Yunhe glanced at Lu Zhen with a slightly grateful look and nodded at him slightly. Lu Yi stood back in the train, standing straight and straight, without squinting.

Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly in his heart: Not bad, Lu Zhen. Quite competent. People make mistakes, and I just want to be reminded by people like you when I make mistakes. It seems that a good start has been made. "The matter of selecting talents is going to be for a long time to come. It will be a major event for the imperial court. Therefore, please keep this matter in your heart and share your worries for the country. Xiao Yunhe continued. "The Jingshi Liansheng has undergone major changes, and various important positions have become vacant. Yuan Jing Zhaoyin was participating in the Suzaku Gate riot and was already ambushed. Now that this position is vacant, please nominate a suitable candidate. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly fell silent.

This was the first major event done after the establishment of the new imperial court - the appointment of Jing Zhaoyin. This is the official of the imperial capital, in charge of millions of people, and the responsibility can be said to be the top priority. No lighter than the generalissimo who commanded the army.

Li Huaiguang, Chu Yan and Wu Yuanheng were all transferred to Beijing, and they didn't know much about the situation in the national capital for the time being, so naturally they couldn't recommend Jing Zhaoyin. And some others have just served as important officials in the three provinces and six ministries. He has barely adapted to his new role, and is suspicious of the prince's behavior. For the time being, we are holding a wait-and-see attitude.

Xiao Yunhe had long thought that this would be such a situation. He turned his head to Li Mian and said, "Li Mian, Kong Chao's father, the two of you preside over Zhongshu Province, and it is the most important responsibility to recommend talents for the imperial court. Now, please tell me who is the right person in your heart?"

Li Mian stood up quietly and bowed: "The old minister does have a candidate in his heart. However, this person is from a humble background and is not well-known, and he is a military attaché. ”

"Who is it?" Xiao Yunhe asked. At the same time, everyone looked at Li Mian.

Li Miankankan said: "A few years ago, Ma Sui fought Tian Yue in Hebei. At that time, Lincheng was besieged and was in great crisis. The guard general Zhang dressed up his beloved daughter and prepared to sell his daughter in front of the soldiers in exchange for money and food for the soldiers' daily needs. All the soldiers were deeply moved, and they were all willing to serve the death force and try to protect the city. Later, Ma Sui came to help, and Zhang released a kite for help. The men and horses of the two sides fought desperately, beheaded more than 10,000 enemies, and achieved a great victory. When His Majesty heard about this, he deeply felt Zhang Zhi's loyalty and wisdom, and summoned him to the court to prepare for reuse. And Zhang has also been very successful in running people's livelihood in the Linhe area, and is deeply loved by the people. Lao Chen believes that Zhang is the right person for Jing Zhaoyin today. ”

"Where is Zhang now?"

Li Mian replied: "It's in the national capital." Before it was received by the emperor and reused, there was civil strife in the imperial capital. Now Zhang is living in the alleys with his beloved daughter. ”

After the two of them finished answering each other, the court became quieter. Everyone is thinking about a question: Will the crown prince promote and reuse a nobody who is loved by the emperor like this?

Xiao Yunhe was thinking in his heart: "Li Mian, you have given me a problem. Jing Zhaoyin is an important position that is not inferior to the prime minister, but you recommended me such a nobody who I am completely unfamiliar with, and he is also a figure that the emperor wants to promote. Did you deliberately test me in this way, and then let me show the Manchu civil and military forces that I was determined to appoint people on the basis of merit? You really have good intentions......

Xiao Yunhe was not in a hurry to express his position, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you Xuanqing Gong for being a virtuous person for the country." However, I don't know much about this person, and I must make a decision after contact. In addition, you can also actively promote meritocracy. Selecting the best among the best is the best policy. ”

Li Mian stepped aside, smiling. He was very satisfied with the expression of the prince's land. There was no immediate decision to block everyone's mouths, let alone an arbitrary refusal. In this way, there will be room for maneuver, which is very appropriate.

Sure enough, after Li Mian spoke, Kong Chaofu and others also recommended the people in their hearts one after another. Xiao Yunhe made people write it down, and he must meet and talk one by one every day, and after he has an understanding, he will take it out to the court to decide.

His open and fair way of doing things undoubtedly untied a knot in the hearts of the courtiers, and everyone put down the stones in their hearts one after another, and they were also full of new hope for the current court.

Next, there are two important job vacancies that need to be replaced. One is the imperial historian, and the other is the Dali Temple. These two yamen, one of which supervised the imperial court and local civil and military officials, have always been important supervisory institutions of Daqi. The Dali Temple, on the other hand, is dedicated to hearing heavy criminal cases and represents the law of Daqi. The candidates for these two departments are also extremely important in Xiao Yunhe's view. Because in the near future, after he ascends the throne, he will definitely reorganize the officialdom climate, rebuild and enforce the law.

Li Jingluo is now the middle prince of the imperial history, and is an old official and confidant of the crown prince. Naturally, someone recommended him to serve as the imperial historian. The Imperial Historian is in charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and he can impeach hundreds of officials, and he is more than the prime minister. Li Jingluo is a low-key and stable person, he knows that although he is deeply respected and trusted by the prince, after all, he is still young in the court and is not qualified for the important position of the imperial doctor, so he resigned. At the same time, Lu Zhen and Xue Cuncheng, these officials, also unceremoniously expressed their opposition, and they were not afraid of offending people at all.

The candidate for the Imperial Doctor has not yet been finalized, but it is already nearly noon. Helpless, Xiao Yunhe had to announce that he would discuss it next time and let the courtiers go to rest for a while. Watching the civil and military officials withdraw from the Taiji Hall in turn, Xiao Yunhe raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: Such a court is like a court.

The first court meeting after the reorganization of the new imperial court made Xiao Yunhe very satisfied. This feeling is similar to the feeling he felt when he was in power. Strict, rigorous, but also controversial, dare to dispute, and more importantly, everyone has a clear responsibility for everything, and everyone can clearly find the person who should be responsible for everything. This is the greatest benefit of the three-province six-ministry system. At the same time, with the supervision of counselors and historians, it was made public and fair, and the emperor or other ministers of the sole minister of the dynasty were prevented from making wrong decisions because of their own selfishness or impulse.

Such a court will make the least mistakes and do more correct things.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xiao Yunhe invited Li Mian to the East Palace to sit for a while, and asked him in detail about Zhang. It turned out that after Zhang was summoned to the capital by the emperor, he was in poor health and had illness, so he also delayed for a while and did not enter the palace to face the saint. Later, it was the round of mutiny frenzy that Xiao Yunhe rolled up, and the emperor stepped down, and no one cared about Zhang's affairs. If Li Mian hadn't paid special attention to this person a few times, no one would have remembered that there was such a person even now.

Xiao Yunhe was secretly glad that it was really a blessing for him to have someone like Li Mian by his side. After inquiring about Zhang's address in detail, Xiao Yunhe decided to have a private interview with him first to have a preliminary understanding.

Zhang's father and daughter live in Jiahuifang, southwest of the national capital. Xiao Yunhe changed into an ordinary brocade robe, took a few inconspicuous guards, rode out of the palace on horseback, and went straight to Jiahuifang.

To go to Jiahuifang, you just have to pass through Suzaku Street and West Market. After the incident at the Vermilion Bird Gate, Xiao Yunhe also left the palace for the first time to personally inspect the situation in the city. Changed into a flat suit, he didn't look very conspicuous. The group walked through the market in a hurry, watching the life of the people in the national capital. Although it is still a little depressed, on the whole, it has returned to tranquility. The market was safe and orderly, and the business travelers were very orderly. Shops on West Market Street. Ninety percent of it is open for business. Although it doesn't seem to be too prosperous, the atmosphere has become much more peaceful.

Xiao Yunhe saw it in his eyes, and secretly thought to himself: Take your time, you will get better. It is not easy to have such an order in the capital city after continuous military rebellion and riots. In time, I will make the capital city return to its former glory and prosperity!

After crossing Xishi Street, turn around a street junction. Jiahuifang has arrived. The layout of the capital city is like a neatly laid out chessboard, and the residential areas are divided into squares and built walls. After entering Jiahuifang, Xiao Yunhe followed Li Mian's guidance and asked the residents here for a while. It was easy to find Zhang's residence.

It can be seen that this is the residence arranged for him by the imperial court. A fairly neat courtyard with walls on all sides. Inside, there is a relatively tall tiled house, which can be seen from a distance. It is estimated that it is the residence left by a certain official in the capital, and the imperial court used it to house their father and daughter.

The door is closed. Xiao Yunhe asked people to go up and call the door. After tapping on the door for a long time, I heard a girl's voice from inside: "Here, who's it?"

But the door did not open. It can be seen that the woman is quite respectful. With so much going on in the city lately, it's no wonder she's so careful.

Xiao Yunhe stepped forward and walked to the gate and said, "We are friends of Xuanqing Commons, and we specially came to visit Master Zhang. ”

"Who is Xuan Qinggong?" The woman's voice was very brittle, with an obvious Hebei accent, and her voice also revealed doubt and vigilance.

Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly: "Xuanqing Gong Li Mian." When the prince of the court, the prime minister. ”

"Oh, oh!" the girl in the door hurriedly responded in a panic and stepped forward to open the door.

Squeak. The door was opened by a crack. The girl bared half of her body and looked warily at the group outside the door. After seeing that it were five or six noblely dressed men, she looked away in panic, hurriedly opened the door, and then leaned to the side and whispered, "Several adults." Please come inside. The father had just taken the medicine and fell asleep, and the maiden went to call him up to greet the distinguished guests. ”

"You're Zhang's daughter?" Xiao Yunhe glanced at the woman. The figure is slender and well-proportioned, with a pitiful and weak willow Fufeng look, and his appearance is also very delicate, which can be regarded as handsome.

"Back to adults, yes......" In the face of such a few big men, the girl was obviously a little embarrassed, and avoided Xiao Yunhe's sight in a panic, and said, "My lord, please sit in the house, and the girl will ask her father to get up." ”

"No need. Xiao Yunhe waved his hand, "I'll just wander around the courtyard for a while." Your father has just taken the medicine and gone to sleep, so let him rest. We'll visit him later. ”

"So...... Isn't it okay?" the girl glanced up at Xiao Yunhe, and hurriedly lowered her head, her face crimson.

Xiao Yunhe smiled: "It's okay. Originally, we didn't have anything important, just casual visits. Don't mistake Lord Zhang's condition. ”

"It's okay......" The girl nodded gratefully.

Xiao Yunhe didn't want to embarrass the girl, so he took a few guards and wandered around the small courtyard. The girl herself retreated into the room and closed the door.

The guards around him were a little dissatisfied, and said in an angry whisper: "My lord, this folk girl is so rude, and she really turned away the adult?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "She is a girl's family, how can she be careless? This is also human nature, don't talk too much." ”

"That's not what it means to be humble......," the guard said aggrievedly, "Your Excellency, as the prince of a country, was actually blocked from the door waiting for a nobody to wake up...... This is too embarrassing!"

"Hehe!" Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "What's the matter? I didn't come as a prince in the first place. Do you want to learn to respect others? People are sick, and they don't mean it. Well, don't talk too much, just walk around and take it as an outing to relax. ”

The courtyard of the Zhang family is not big, and it didn't take long to finish shopping in a few places. Xiao Yunhe and the others returned to the front yard, and at this moment, someone happened to knock on the door again. The girl hurriedly greeted her, asked a few words at the door, and opened the door.

"Xue Gongzi, you're here!" I could hear that the girl's voice was full of joy.

Xiao Yunhe and the others looked over. I saw a tall young man with a handsome face, standing at the door, carrying a few bags in his hands. He said, "Is Lord Ling Zun's illness getting better? This is the medicine I grabbed for Ling Zun in the West Market, and I also brought some supplements along the way. Take it. ”

The girl's delicate face turned red, and she took the matter and lowered her head and smiled: "Xue Gongzi takes such good care of our father and daughter, I really don't know how to repay it." ”

The boy smiled: "Sister Ting'er, don't be so polite, are you and I world friends...... Hey. Are there any guests today?"
