After the Shangyuan Festival, hundreds of officials went to court and started the journey of the new year.

Yang Haowen was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and a purple gold jade crown, and walked slowly to the dragon chair with the eunuch's announcement.

A cold expression swept over His Highness's ministers.

The ministers of civil and military affairs stood in two columns, "kneeling" with the sound of the eunuch.

The ministers knelt down and sang loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Yang Haowen sat on the dragon chair, and his voice was indifferent: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

"Emperor Xie!"

The ministers stood up, facing the emperor, and bowed slightly.

Just after the Shangyuan Festival, according to the situation in previous years, the emperor is kind and pleasant, and he will never speak in such a cold tone.

Yang Haowen: "The Shangyuan Festival has passed, and the new year has officially begun, what are the plans and plans of Zhong Aiqing?"

His Royal Highness and his ministers began to discuss one after another, isn't the new year the same as in previous years?

At this time, Ouyang Bo stood up, bowed to Yang Haowen and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday's Shangyuan Festival was supposed to be a festive day, but something unpleasant happened. ”

Yang Haowen smiled slightly: "Tell me, what happened?"

Ouyang Bo: "In the south street of the capital, there were several men in black who committed murder on the street, intending to assassinate Yang Fan, the Marquis of Zhongyi, Yang Hou Ye fought bravely against the enemy, so as to avoid being poisoned, and the men in black saw that the assassination failed, so they scattered and fled, and the whereabouts are still unknown. ”

Yang Haowen said angrily: "In this capital city, such evil deeds have happened, where is the Shuntian Mansion Yin?"

A middle-aged official shook his body, slowly stood out of the civil official ranks, and knelt down in the hall with a plop: "Weichen is here, the minister has ordered the personnel of the Soldiers and Horses Command Department to hunt down the murderer and give Yang Houye an explanation." ”

Yang Haowen snorted: "This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen again, give you five days to catch the murderer, otherwise, you will resign and go into hiding, and hand it over to someone who has the ability to do it." ”

"Wechen obeyed. ”

Yang Haowen glanced at the ministers: "Who else has something to play?"

The ministers were silent, bowed their heads and lowered their ears, and did not dare to make a sound.

Ouyang Bo: "Weichen still has something to play." ”

"Please. ”

Ouyang Bo: "Yesterday, there were lawless people who made trouble in the old mansion of Yuan Ge, and they spilled blood and inscriptions, which is simply unreasonable. ”

Yang Haowen looked at Yuan Qizheng and said in a harmonious voice: "Yuan Ge Lao, is there such a thing?"

Yuan Qizheng bowed and saluted: "There is indeed this matter, but it has been dealt with, such a trivial matter, don't take it to the court." ”

Yang Haowen said coldly: "Yuan Ge Lao, you are the first assistant of the dynasty, you are the face of the imperial court, and if you dare to make trouble in Yuan Ge's old mansion, that is, you are the enemy of the Daxing Imperial Court, Cheng Aiqing, do you know about this?"

The name of the Shuntian Mansion Yin is Cheng Shu, and as the Shuntian Mansion Yin, he will be responsible for the illegal things that happen in Kyoto.

Cheng Shu bowed down, trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen also just found out. ”

Yang Haowen: "Then what are you going to do?"

Cheng Shu: "I'll send someone to investigate, and I will definitely arrest the criminals who bend the law." ”

Yang Haowen snorted: "It's a good Shangyuan Festival, so many things have happened, you, Shuntianfu Yin, are really doing well." ”

Cheng Shu scolded those lawbreakers in his heart, usually the emperor would not pay attention to these trivial things, but this time it was different, Ouyang Commander actually took this matter to say it at the court meeting, but the emperor didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"Weichen is guilty, please punish the emperor. ”

Yang Haowen waved his hand and sighed: "The capital is still like this, not to mention the place, Ouyang, has anything else happened?"

Ouyang Bo: "Yesterday, someone set fire to the gate of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, almost burning the gate of the Criminal Department, in addition, many shops in the capital were smashed by local ruffians, and the Command Department of Soldiers and Horses arrested a lot of people, I think Master Cheng should know better than me." ”

Cheng Shu's back was already frightened into a cold sweat, this Ouyang Bo wanted to put him to death, and at this moment, he kept sprinkling salt on his wounds.

"Your Majesty, the Soldiers and Horses Command Division arrested a lot of people yesterday, and now they are locked up in the prison of Shuntianfu. ”

Yang Haowen didn't speak, and glanced at the ministers with cold eyes.

The ministers forbade it, and it always felt like a storm was coming.

Yang Haowen suddenly got up and scolded loudly: "This is the result of your governance of the place? Even in this place of the capital, under my nose, so many things have happened in one day, so what is the situation in the place far away from the capital? Who can tell me? I thought it was a rebellion against the people, but it turned out that the officials forced the people to rebel, this is what you call the world peaceful?"

The emperor was angry. ”

The ministers were embarrassed, but it was impossible to keep silent at this time.

Ouyang Bo stood up and was about to say something, the ministers were afraid, this Ouyang commander was not afraid of anything, they were afraid, if he continued to talk about it, the emperor was furious, and he was afraid that something big would happen.

Yang Haowu, the king of Ning, stood up first: "The emperor is angry, the world is so big, it is really difficult to cover everything, among the hundred officials, it is inevitable that there are some corpses and vegetarian people, the court employs people, and they are the only ones, and the incompetent people are replaced, so why should the emperor be angry for those people." ”

King Ning was also dissatisfied with Yin Chengshu of Shuntian Mansion in his heart, Yang Fan went to Beijing on the first day, it was the Soldiers and Horses Command Division who spoiled his business, and the Soldiers and Horses Command Division was within Cheng Shu's jurisdiction.

Yang Haowen smiled: "What does King Ning mean, replace Cheng Aiqing?"

Cheng Shu, who was kneeling down, secretly cursed King Ning in his heart, and didn't he arrange for Yang Fan's assassination? Yang Fan, the Marquis of Zhongyi, went to Beijing this time to deal with King Ning, how could he not know the reason for this, but how should he investigate it? King Ning was not someone he could afford to provoke.

King Ning said with a smile: "Shuntian Mansion Yin, who manages the trivial affairs in Beijing, is busy with affairs, and some mistakes and omissions are understandable, but after all, this is Daxing Kyoto, and it is the dignity of the imperial court, so you can't be careless." ”

Yang Haowen nodded and said: "What King Ning said is reasonable, there are many affairs in Shuntianfu, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions, but this is an important place in Gyeonggi, so you can't be sloppy, what good ideas do you have?"

King Ning was stunned, could it be that he didn't express it clearly enough? What he meant was to remove this Shuntian Mansion Yin, but his expression was a little tactful.

Ouyang Bo stood up: "Your Majesty, since the Shuntian Mansion can't be managed, then ask someone to help." ”

Yang Haowen sighed: "Ouyang Aiqing has something to say, don't sell it." ”

Ouyang Bo: "The minister suggested the establishment of an institution independent of the six ministries and the cabinet to supervise the hundred officials, clean up the localities, and promote the small people, and never dare to try to burn down the criminal department, let alone make trouble in the old mansion of Yuan Ge, which must involve some interests." ”。

Yang Haowen was puzzled: "What Ouyang Aiqing said is reasonable. ”

Yuan Qizheng looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, at this time, how could he not know that these were the double reeds sung by the emperor and Ouyang Bo.
