There are 134 large and small yamen in the capital of Dafeng, and aside from those officials who have not been established, as well as those in the military system, there are as many as 10,000 officials who eat official meals.

Among them, only one-tenth of them were able to participate in the early dynasty, and more than 100 officials, nobles, and clans who could enter the Jinluan Hall to have a direct dialogue with the emperor died.

The civil and military officials, who were waiting outside the noon gate, gathered in twos and threes, saying some short words from their parents, and hiding needles in the mian.

"Your Majesty has been getting more and more diligent in going to court lately. ”

"Jingcha is coming. ”

"Last year, His Majesty Jingcha was not so diligent. ”

"Naturally, it's because of the Sambo case, hey, it's an eventful time. Your Majesty is going to lose his temper today, so don't anger the moldy head. ”

"This official is just a civil servant, and the Sambo case has nothing to do with this official, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

"Oh, who does that have to do with that?"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Who is it related to?

Of course, it is related to the commander of the five guards of the capital, and of course it is related to the watchman who is responsible for defending the capital and the royal family.

Naturally, it is also related to the leader of the Yamen, Wei Yuan and Wei Qingyi.

In front of the noon gate, Wei Yuan was dressed in green clothes, standing alone, and was incompatible with the surrounding civil and military officials.

Wei Yuan is a very special person, there is no eunuch with more power than him in the current dynasty, even the great eunuch next to the emperor does not hold much power in his hands.

Only Wei Yuan is different, he is not only the leader of the Yamen, but also the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

These two yamen have the power to supervise hundreds of officials.

Emperor Yuan Jing's meaning is very obvious, Wei Yuan is my knife, and if any of you is disobedient, the knife will fall on whose neck.

Wei Yuan was not only the sword that Emperor Yuan Jing launched to check and balance the hundred officials, but also played a role in pulling hatred.

The civil and military officials did not dare to hate the emperor, but they could vent their emotions towards Wei Yuan.

Right now, the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple was destroyed, and Emperor Yuan Jing, who had been lazy for a long time, went to court today, obviously full of anger to vent.

Wei Yuan must be the first to bear the brunt.

The civil and military officials are happy to eat melons.

At the beginning of the day, the heavy sound of the bell echoed in the dark night sky, making it seem vast and lonely.

The civil and military officials entered through the slowly opening east gate, and the princes of the clan entered through the west gate.

Emperor Yuan Jing was on the dragon chair, looking down on hundreds of officials with an expressionless face, and came in from the noon gate in a neat and orderly manner, with civil and military columns.

More than 100 officials, nobles, and clans entered the Jinluan Palace.

After the performance was completed, a member of the Criminal Department stepped out in the middle of the matter and said loudly: "The night before, a thief broke into Sangbo and blew up the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple, which is really my great shame. Wei Yuan, as the leader of the guards, did not protect the imperial city well, and asked His Majesty to behead this official to calm the anger of the public. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Immediately, a number of professional trolls jumped out and asked Emperor Yuan Jing to cut off Wei Yuan's dog's head.

The attack on the court is the same as buying vegetables at the entrance of the vegetable market, and it is usually said that it is big, and it is beheaded and raided at every turn.

It doesn't matter if it's a big deal, just cut off the dog's head.

If the emperor did not agree, then he would bargain, from beheading to exile, from exile to dismissal.

Anyway, you can't talk about dismissal, you have to give the emperor a room to bargain. Otherwise, when the emperor looks at it, you little brothers won't give me a chance to bargain?

Then there is no sin.

Out of the expectations of the officials, Emperor Yuan Jing directly rejected the impeachment of Wei Yuan and praised Wei Yuan's work.

This made the officials puzzled and exchanged heads.

"Silence!"

Emperor Yuan Jing's personal eunuch whipped his whip, and his voice was sharp to warn the hundred officials.

The matter came to an end, but the impeachment against Wei Yuan did not stop, but changed the target.

Another official of the Criminal Department stepped forward and said: "Xu Qi'an, the watchman, openly killed the guards at the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and despised the imperial power. ”

Obviously when he was impeached, the old god was in the indifferent Wei Yuan, squinted his eyes, and followed: "Your Majesty, the Criminal Department instructed the guards to obstruct the beating of the guard to handle the case, with ill intentions, the minister suspected that Sun Shangshu of the Criminal Department colluded with the thief to blow up Sangbo, and asked His Majesty to dismiss him from his post and put him in the prison, and the minister will interrogate him." ”

The imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate seconded the proposal.

"Nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, Wei Yuan is slandering, and his heart can be punished. ”

"Your Majesty, there is a big problem in the Criminal Department, and the ministers and others seconded the proposal to remove the officials of the Criminal Department from their posts and investigate them. ”

The two sides immediately began a war of words, with officials from other parties occasionally interjecting and fanning the flames. Above the court, the various factions entered a fierce struggle.

When the first assistant of the dynasty, the six Shangshu, Wei Yuan and several other bigwigs closed their eyes and recuperated.

Emperor Yuan Jing was not angry at all, and when he saw that the officials were almost arguing, he signaled the great eunuch to scold him and let the Jinluan Palace return to quiet.

"Gong Xu Qi'an, who is already responsible for the crime, will inevitably do things in an extreme way, so he will work together to handle the case, rather than obstructing each other. If there is a next time, I will severely punish it. Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice.

Wei Yuan opened his eyes, and a look of surprise flashed.

He expected Xu Qi'an to be fine, but he didn't expect Emperor Yuan Jing to speak for the little gong in person.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked around at the hundred officials with sharp eyes, and continued: "From today onwards, the ban on the city gate will be lifted, and the officials of the court will not be allowed to leave the capital until they are above the sixth rank. ”

"Retreat!"

......

At the beginning of the day, Xu Qi'an woke up on time, washed and dressed, and went to his second uncle's house for breakfast.

In the past, when he was a little fast hand in Changle County, he rushed to the yamen at the beginning of the day and ordered Mao, which is equivalent to clocking in at work.

After becoming a watchman, because considering that Xu Qi'an was a poor man who couldn't afford to buy a house, the order was changed from the beginning of the Mao time to the next three quarters of the Mao time.

Leave him an hour and a half to rush.

At this point, the yamen of the watchman is still quite enlightened.

In winter, the temperature is very low in the morning, and people will inevitably be sealed by the warm bedding for a few more hours.

The plump and beautiful aunt was sealed on the bed and did not get up. The beautiful sister with a melon seed face was also sealed.

"When you go and shout the bell, you develop inertia when you are young, and it is difficult to correct when you grow up. Second Uncle Xu said.

Xu Qi'an suspected that he didn't think the dinner table was lively enough, because Xu Erlang didn't arrive at the time, so he returned to Yunlu Academy.

He said that the dean was going to give a lecture this morning, and he had to leave the city at the beginning of the year to catch up.

In this way, the people who eat at the table are Second Uncle Xu and Xu Dalang.

Xu Qi'an immediately went to the inner courtyard and knocked on Xu Lingyin's door, and the maid who opened the door was the maid who was waiting for Xu Lingyin.

The little maid said half-expectantly, half-vigilantly and half-shyly: "Big, what does Da Lang want to do?"

It's still dark, so I came to knock on the door, did Da Lang want to take the opportunity to do something to others?

Xu Qi'an said I'm here to call the bell to get up.

Raised his feet and entered the house, and saw Xu Lingyin curled up in the thick quilt, like a pillow hidden under the quilt, a small one.

Xu Qian slapped her on the ass and woke her up.

Xu Lingyin opened his eyes in a daze, wiped his saliva, and said vaguely: "It's a cauldron...."

"Get up and have breakfast. ”

"Oh..."

"Then get up!"

"Snorr..."

"Today's breakfast is steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, sauce chicken..."

Bang bang... Xu Lingyin on the bed suddenly twitched, her limbs kicked wildly, her brain was still sleeping, and her body couldn't wait to eat breakfast.

The maid waited for Xiaodouding to wash her face and brush her teeth, Xu Qi'an carried her to the front hall, Xu Lingyin's chin was pillowed on Xu Qi'an's shoulder, her ass was pouting, she wanted to sleep but didn't dare to sleep, afraid of missing the food.

"Don't go to sleep, big brother will sing you a song. ”

"Oh..."

"Little rabbit, open the door, hurry up, I'm going to come in. If you don't open it, you won't open it, if you don't come back, no one will open it. ”

.....

When he came to the front hall, Xu Lingyin looked at the steamed buns and soy milk fritters in a daze, and was about to cry out aggrieved.

"This is not the morning food I want, my steamed lamb, steamed bear's paws, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, sauce chicken.... What?"

Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes: "Big brother lied to you." ”

Xu Lingyin cried out with "wow", pinned his hands behind his back, leaned forward, and sent a sonic attack towards Xu Qi'an.

....

Finish eating!

"I didn't call her if I knew it, and the noisy old man had a tightness in his chest. Second Uncle Xu hugged his helmet and left scolding.

"Yes, I finally realized my aunt's hardship, and my aunt worked hard. Xu Qi'an scolded and left.

Xu Lingyin was left to eat while crying under the service of the maid.

Although there is no steamed lamb, steamed bear's paws, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicks, roasted goose, braised pigs, braised ducks, and sauced chickens, which makes her very sad, she can eat while being sad.

.....

Wei Yuan left the Jinluan Palace, reviewing the situation in the court today. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting behind me: "Wei Gong, wait for our house." ”

Turning his head, it was Gonggong Liu.

Before Wei Yuan developed, he also worked in the palace, and he had a very good relationship with Duke Liu, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Liu, what's the matter?"

Gonggong Liu looked left and right, took out a few pieces of rice paper from his sleeve, and stuffed them to Wei Yuan: "Let's copy it, Wei Gonggong can take a look." ”

Wei Yuan understood and said with a smile: "Enter the palace another day and ask your father-in-law to have a few drinks." ”

After leaving the noon gate, boarding the carriage, Yang Yan, who was driving, walked in the direction of the yamen without saying a word.

Wei Yuan took out the rice paper and looked at it for a while, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What is the stepfather looking at?" Nangong Qianrou, who was lazily leaning on the carriage and acting as a personal guard, asked curiously.

"I thought I would be reprimanded by His Majesty today, but I didn't expect to pass the test smoothly. Wei Yuan said with a smile.

"Successfully passed?" Yang Yan asked in surprise outside the carriage.

On the way to the court, Wei Yuan simulated the situation of the court in his mind, and he had this habit, simulating in front of the court, and reviewing in the back court.

In the original simulation, the Shang Dynasty would definitely be impeached this time, and Emperor Yuan Jing took the opportunity to rebuke or give a certain punishment.

Wei Yuan guessed correctly, the Sambo case has indeed become the reason for the political opponent's attack.

It's just that he didn't expect the matter to be revealed so lightly.

Nangong Qianrou frowned and said, "No one took the opportunity to attack and annihilate the father-in-law?"

Wei Yuan smiled and handed over the crumpled paper.
