The next day, the five drums are rising, the dawn is hazy, the Yujing City is full of fire, the civil and military officials will want to move towards the court, and the Xuan cover is like a city.

It is only because the great cadres and current saints were met by hundreds of officials in the Changning Hall today to discuss the sudden visit of the envoys of the Xunguo Kingdom.

When dawn passed, the sky was white, and in front of the Changning Palace, the civil and military officials dressed in purple and scarlet court uniforms lined up in two long lines in a solemn and orderly manner, quietly waiting for the familiar sharp and loud summons.

In the team, Meng Huai'an, who was wearing a scarlet embroidered bear robe, stood in the square in front of the Changning Palace, in a very wonderful mood, the three-day deadline given by the master to solve the case, only one day had passed, and the case was solved.

Surprised? Not surprised?

He knew that Shang Qing was on leave due to illness, and the reason why he sent Shang Qing to the division in a hurry was nothing more than that he couldn't bear the pressure of the master alone!

First, Shang Qing is more special in the division, after all, he knows a thing or two about the master's attitude towards Shang Qing, and he has secretly taken care of Shang Qing in the past ten years. Even if these cases eventually become unsolved, maybe the master will also look at Shang Qing's face, and he, Meng Huai'an, will at least not be punished too heavily. If Shang Qing knew about this, according to Shang Qing's temperament, he might point at his nose and scold the old fox!

As for the second, Meng Huai'an is Shang Qing's direct boss, and the cases all happened in Ping'anfang, Shang Qing, who is in charge of Ping'anfang, has a case on his one-acre and three-third of land, and Shang Qing can't come if he doesn't come.

As an aside, this year is actually Meng Huai'an's natal year, at the beginning of the year, he also went to ask for a hexagram, the divination of the Taoist said that he "changed in this autumn, no Ji Tailai, Shitu Hengda, purple ribbon goldfish", Dao Changguo sincerely did not deceive me, he returned home last night, completely ignoring the opposition of his wife, a tough attitude drank a few cups, the interest was very high, and at night he fought hard for 300 rounds, suddenly the dry land was ploughed, his wife begged for mercy again and again, the two were like newlyweds.

No, he was standing in the square at this time, his hands crossed on his waist, his feet weak, and he became the only one among the hundred officials.

"The sage's edict, a hundred officials enter the hall."

As a sharp and loud familiar voice sounded, the officials immediately straightened their clothes and entered.

Meng Huai'an entered the hall, holding his breath with a solemn expression. Although he was a Beijing official, it was the first time he went to the court, and he couldn't help but be afraid, because he didn't dare to imagine whether he would perform poorly and miss the opportunity when he faced Shengyan directly.

Just now, he just glanced quietly, and saw a person sitting upright on the throne, wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair inlaid on his head, a dazzling dragon pattern python robe wrapped in a light wall, and the dragon face was magnificent, and the Changning Hall was filled with a cold and coercive atmosphere.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat." The Palm Seal Eunuch began to follow the process step by step.

In the queue, an official in a purple robe embroidered with Juno stood up, "The minister has a book!" ”

The man on the throne spoke slowly: "Quasi-play!" Although the voice was low, it resounded throughout the entire Changning Palace, and the aftermath was lingering.

Huang Zhifu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, said: "The sage knows that the Xunguo delegation came to the court with a letter of state this time, and now it has gone to the outside of Yujing City, according to the custom, Honglu Temple has asked Shu Shaoqing to go outside the city to greet him. Although Xunguo and Daqian have always been good friends, and there are many missions to the court, but this time the mission is led by the prince of Xunguo himself, accompanied by a Xunguo Confucian and a number of national eunuchs. Prince Xun said that the great Qian's literary world is broad, and the sea of learning is turbulent, and he wants to bring the students of the country to exchange and study with the students of my Daqiantai College. ”

The man on the throne listened, he was not shocked, and said lightly: "The lantern festival is imminent, let the mission temporarily stay in Honglu Temple, and three days later, I will meet you in the Changning Hall of Prince Xun."

Huang Zhifu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, received the order and returned to the class without saying a word.

After the matter of the Xunguo mission was discussed, a scarlet-robed official stood up and said in a sonorous voice:

"Qi Sheng, the minister heard that there have been monsters in the city recently, and they have committed crimes continuously, resulting in one person being killed and many injured, which is simply shocking. The minister wanted to participate in the crime of dereliction of duty by the demon priest and the official of the demon division, causing the monsters to enter the city, harassing the people of the city, and making the saint dusty. ”

Here, good fellow, it's really straight to the point, leaving no room for it. Meng Huai'an's eyelids jumped as he heard it in the queue, although his position was almost close to the entrance of the main hall, these words were tantamount to thunder in his head, shaking his scalp. Only then did he react, the master seemed to let him go to court with him today, but in fact, it was not.

Immediately afterwards, a speech official wearing a purple costume embroidered cloud goose also came out, and said loudly: "Enlighten the saint, please abolish the demon hunting division again, the first saint set up the demon hunting division in order to wipe out the embers of the demon clan and return my great Qianhuan to the clarity of the universe." However, there was a business road in the murder of his wife and rebellion, which damaged the foundation of the Demon Hunting Division, and now Shangguan Jinghong is derelict in his duties and ineffective control, and the Demon Hunting Division has been in vain, and he is ashamed of the ancestors and should be abolished. ”

Although the rank of the officials is generally not high, they have the power to admonish the saints, pick up the omissions and fill in the gaps, speak left and right, and enjoy the power of impeachment, picketing hundreds of divisions and officials, inspecting, and governing according to local officials.

There is a doctor in the temple, four products, one person on the left and right, from the four products, and a number of officials below the five products.

Although the matter of "the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooking" has always been endless, but the person on the throne has never expressed his position on the matter of abolishing the Demon Hunting Division, in addition, although the cabinet has reported many excerpts on the abolition of the Demon Hunting Division, the unified law has not been issued.

It's a delicate thing!

However, the ability of these officials to hear about things can be seen, and Meng Huai'an can be regarded as a long insight. Of course, what he didn't know was that there might be a shadow of Lu Shengxiang of Jingzhao Mansion behind these two people, after all, in the past few years, Jingzhao Mansion and the Demon Hunting Division have been incompatible.

"Shangguan Jinghong, can the monster be arrested and brought to justice?" The man on the throne said lightly, he had already seen the fold handed by Lu Shengxiang yesterday.

Shangguan Jinghong is the only second-grade demon catcher in Daqian, the official is the second-grade master in the court, and his terrifying strength is in this court, except for the master of the Qin Tianjian, I am afraid that there is no one who can fight with him.

Of course, he didn't believe that under his wise and martial governance, there would still be monsters in Yujing City, and the reason for this was that this great sage was like a mirror.

As for Lu Shengxiang, who is only a fourth-grade, can wrestle with Shangguan Jinghong, mainly because the one standing behind him is Qi Shangzhen, the first assistant of the cabinet.

The cabinet has seven auxiliary ministers, each with its own position.

Besides, after Qi Shangzhen became the first assistant, he gave advice to the sage on the "Nine Strategies for Governing the Country", and the sage followed it. So in the following ten years, Qi Shangzhen made drastic moves, successively carried out many reforms in Beijing, official governance, economy, military, clan and other aspects, and also achieved great results.

The Great Qianguo Zuo has lasted for more than 500 years, and there have been many evils, among which the arrogance of the clan, the lack of officials, the rule of officials, and the great lack of money are the worst.

Qi Shangzhen borrowed the hand of the cabinet and successively issued a series of laws and regulations, known as "Qi Law".

He weighed the three religions, reused the hundred schools, let them perform their own duties, each in charge of their own government, and now the six departments and nine temples have hundreds of people. The national strength of Daqian is thriving, proud of the other six countries, and let the neighboring Xun and Ze countries come to the court many times to pay tribute, Qi Shangzhen has made great contributions.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Shangzhen has secretly laid out for many years and has challenged the imperial power. On the surface, this seems to be a dispute between Jingzhao Mansion and the Demon Hunting Division, but in fact it is a dispute between power and imperial power. Behind the murder of his wife and rebellion in the business path of the Demon Hunting Division back then, it was actually the first victory of Xiangquan.

Shangguan Jinghong immediately came out of the class, and his words were amazing, and he said loudly, "I am very good, showing the sun and the moon, how can I allow the charm to be presumptuous!" Yesterday, the little demon was already ambushed, and its demon body was in the Demon Hunting Division. ”

Then the words changed suddenly, and his eyes stared sharply at the scarlet-robed official who was the first to do things, "Just now Lord Yu said that the little demon killed people, which is nonsense at all. As for why that person died, Lord Yu has to ask Lu Sheng Xiang Lord Lu, the Demon Hunting Division can ambush the monster in one day, I wonder if Jingzhao Mansion can find out the real culprit behind the scenes in one day, so as to calm the soul? ”

After all, the case was solved ahead of schedule, and Shangguan Jinghong spoke with confidence. But fortunately, Shangguan Jinghong informed the cabinet assistant minister of the result as soon as possible, and the excerpt was only suppressed for one day, and it had no impact at all, which could be regarded as turning passive into active.

Shangguan Jinghong carefully studied Shang Qing's closing report yesterday, although it took a lot of effort to understand what was written, and finally he also discovered another inference that Shang Qing said about the cause of Zhu Fugui's death. In fact, Shang Qing did not have sufficient evidence to prove the true cause of Zhu Fugui's death, so he wrote a few sentences of his own inference on the closing report.

The scarlet-robed Yanguan was shocked by Shangguan's momentum, and he was aggressive and tough before, and suddenly became speechless.

On the contrary, it was Yin Lu Shengxiang of Jingzhao Mansion, his face was gloomy and ugly at this time, and it was not unintentional for him to criticize the words "monsters are haunting" on the file, and the murderer's modus operandi was too clever to be beyond the reach of man.

So he stood up and said, "I don't know what Lord Shangguan meant by saying this?" Since you say that it is indeed a monster, what does it have to do with Jingzhao Mansion? ”

Shangguan Jinghong's face was full of disdain, and his words were concise, "That's the literal meaning!" ”

"You ......" Lu Sheng is like a qi pole.

Then he suddenly knelt down and said to the man on the throne: "Please see the saint."

The man on the throne didn't respond, and after a moment of silence, "Qi Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?" ”

He asked Qi Shangzhen, the head of the cabinet, who stood at the head of the civilian ranks.

Qi Shangzhen, who had been shrugging his eyes, opened his eyes, his eyes were deep and bottomless, "Although the names of Jingzhao Mansion and the Demon Hunting Division are different, they are both for the sake of sharing the worries of the saint and protecting the safety of Yujing. Since there are monsters in the city that hurt people, but it is also the failure of the Demon Hunting Division to protect them, Lord Shangguan should be punished. ”

The one on the throne said lightly, "But, Shangguan Jinghong will be punished for half a year!" ”

Shangguan Jinghong didn't care about this at all. In the future, if anyone dares to jump out and say that the Demon Hunting Division will be abolished, they will really have to weigh it carefully.

The embers of the demon clan, how can they be so easy to destroy?

There is a demon hunting division in Yujing City, so it can be safe!
