Gao Yuan and Dugu are good friends. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The nobles of Kyoto couldn't think of a reason why the two came together: the dispute between the crown prince and the British king, and the relationship between Gao Yuan and Dugu Ying were no secret in the aristocratic circle.

The struggle for the throne is always accompanied by bloodshed, and the British king's wise trust and the county lord love to call each other brothers, who is wooing whom, and why do the British king and the county lord turn a blind eye?

The Inspectorate picked up the missing and filled the vacancies of the picket officials, who knew that after Duguying was in charge, the reports of civil officials and military generals taking bribes suddenly increased, and the case files were piled up for a while. The officials of the counties and prefectures were fortunate to investigate, and the family of the princes and princes of the imperial family was involved, and there was no definite evidence, so the Inspectorate did not dare to play easily.

Smell the wind.

The imperial history of the Inspectorate can be impeached when he hears the rumors, even if it is found out afterwards that it is groundless, he will not be guilty, the law has this privilege, the imperial historians are not stupid, impeachment is offended once, several impeachments have no evidence, the year-end examination of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is given a low grade, and the magistrate is transferred from the Inspectorate.

"County Lord, the Ministry of Civil Affairs evaluated last year's political performance, and the five imperial historians were incompetent and had to be transferred to a remote prefecture. The inspector's face was indignant, and Duguying put down the official document: "At the court meeting, I played the book, and I was approved by His Majesty, and the imperial history was untrue, only as a reference for the examination, how could there be so many people who were incompetent, even you and Ling Huqing were given a middle and lower grade!"

"The two crimes, the repeated misrepresentations are suspected of forming a party for personal gain, and there is no purpose to secretly investigate the minister's suspicion of tyrannical bullying, please forgive the old minister's blunt words, it seems to punish the imperial history, and the target actually points to the county lord, the dictatorship and bullying the king, who is secretly despotic and deceitful of the king!"

"Don't be angry, my lord, I will go to the palace, Your Majesty has his own judgment. Duguying comforted a few words, the inspector relieved her mind a little, and she asked about the hospital affairs again: "In the past, there were only 12 out of 100 cases that were not closed at the end of the year, but last year it was as high as 23 out of 10, no wonder the Ministry of Civil Affairs will give a bad evaluation, why is it so different?"

"The old minister asked Linghu Qing to investigate carefully, and the case files transferred by the yamen last year exceeded the sum of the previous three years, and the reports were even more incredible, more than in the previous ten years combined. Don't dare to hide it from the county lord, many reports are not registered under the pretext of not registering, otherwise the person who closes the case is afraid that it will not even be half. ”

"Please make it clear to the old man, the royal government has not issued a decree to rectify the rule of officials, why is there a sudden increase in reports? Dugu Ying is only studying politics, and it will never be because of my reputation. ”

The inspector put down the teacup in his hand, and replied to avoid the seriousness: "The county lord personally investigated the case of the city lord forcing relatives, the case of the Marquis of Qi forcibly occupying the house and the robbery of the guards, the good name has long spread throughout the empire, and the officials and people who have been oppressed and wronged, who does not want the county lord to be the master of it, and it is common sense to report more, but the strange thing is that there are too many of them, and there are many of them involving the powerful people in Kyoto, which makes the Inspectorate in a dilemma." ”

"The boss has been an inspector for many years, and he is used to seeing the situation in Kyoto, so that you can advance and retreat, and there must be hidden secrets in the meantime, the five imperial historians have not been punished, Dugu Ying will never stand idly by, and ask the boss to guide the maze, and play Your Majesty in the court, you and I must not make people stump. ”

Because the inspector is accustomed to seeing the situation in Kyoto, he knows better that in the royal waterhole, the prince and the dragon grandson play in the water, and the ministers can see but cannot enter, and the merit of support will turn into a disaster of death in the blink of an eye. I didn't want to participate in the royal internal strife, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs deceived people too much, and even he dared to give him a middle and lower class, how could he have no enemies in charge of the Inspectorate for many years, and if he left Beijing and stayed away from the king, a catastrophe would eventually come.

"The county lord, there are suddenly more case files, and someone should be pushing it secretly, first, to let the inspectorate take care of one or the other, and take advantage of the gap to punish the crime of dereliction of duty, and second, to deliberately let the county lord offend the powerful family. The old minister said bluntly, the prince's family is directly related to the side branches, who does not have hundreds or thousands of people, it is not surprising that there are a few gentlemen, and they are implicated in each other strictly investigated, and the intertwined relationship is cut off and chaotic, so how many inspectors have died unjustly. ”

"So serious?" Dugu Ying couldn't help but think of the scene of the nobleman's children fighting bravely to kill the enemy, he was not afraid to die for the empire, how could he not obey the law every day?

"The county lord, there was a minister who wrote to him, the rebellion of the empire three, the rule of officials, the king of the county and the border troubles, the harm of corruption in the rule of officials ranked before the division of the county king, the old minister still remembered a few words: a thief harms only a few people, an official is greedy for a hundred households to break the house, the robber robs the people's money, and the root of the country harmed by corrupt officials, so the ruling should be based on the rule of officials, if the officials are not corrupt, the people will not be chaotic, and the people will not be able to afford to be thieves. ”

"The root of the harm caused by corrupt officials!" Duguying repeated several times, looking at the inspector, there was hope, but more worry: "Boss, what is the result of the person who wrote the book?"

"The county lord knows why he needs to ask again, the most upright and selfless inspector of the empire, the inspector of the empire who died the worst. His Majesty the King was wise, and he was known for it at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and his descendants were difficult to find. ”

"Imperial law, unless you rebel against the country, you can't exterminate the clan, and the inspector has no military power, isn't it strange to rebel in Kyoto!" Dugu Ying got up, shouted a few words angrily and sat down down: "It's my Dugu royal who has lost his loyal ministers." He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, I want to play Your Majesty, the Imperial History of the Inspectorate will be appointed for life, and even if the Inspector is guilty in the future, he shall not be sentenced to death, and he will be imprisoned in the prison of the Inspectorate to prevent being wronged, do you think it is feasible?"

"The county lord has this heart, and the old minister dares not to repay it wholeheartedly. The county lord can only see His Majesty's secret words in person, and must not play the book in the court, so as not to spread rumors that the county lord is gracious and forms a party. ”

Duguying shook his head after thinking about it: "Boss, the imperial history offended the powerful and wealthy, just to repay the royal grace, as the lord of the empire, if he is afraid of rumors and does not dare to redress his grievances, even if His Majesty agrees to play, there will be many constraints on the actions of the Inspectorate." ”

"Even so, the old minister also played, after old age, he lost his sharpness, and he was able to get by in charge of the Inspectorate, and the old minister was ashamed of His Majesty and the county lord. ”

"The boss is serious, after you go back, let Ling Huqing help me draw up a recital, and today I will go to the palace, and ask Your Majesty to reject the civil ministry examination script, and then argue in public when the court meets. ”

Merlin, the old king smiled and listened to his granddaughter's secret recitation of the imperial history, and interrupted her from time to time to ask a few words, mostly for the details of the Inspectorate.

"Ying'er, the Inspectorate did not register some of the reports, did you ask for instructions in advance?"

"Before the Ministry of Civil Affairs gave a bad evaluation, did the inspector suggest adding official positions to expand personnel?"

"In the nine counties of the empire, there are eighteen imperial histories in the Inspectorate, two from each county, who are in charge of civil and military pickets, why only the imperial history of picketing civil officials has a bad evaluation?"

"Hua Yue and Qin Rufeng are brother and sister, in charge of the county lord's palace guard, Hua and Qin have resigned several times to avoid suspicion, and the Inspectorate has not said a word so far, what does it mean?"

The questioning is getting deeper and deeper, no longer limited to specific affairs, Duguying often can't answer, so she has to half admit her mistake and half coquettishly: "Grandpa, the inspector is forced to take the initiative to admit his mistake due to the situation, and it is difficult to escape the crime of perfunctory responsibility, but now he finally has a responsibility, if he is punished again, who will dare to tell Ying'er the truth in the future." ”

"The royal history is the eyes and ears of the royal family, pretending to be deaf and dumb about injustice and lawlessness, and not reporting it, in the deep palace, how can the people know the suffering of the people. For thousands of years, the names and powers of various ministries and departments have changed back and forth, but it has not involved the Inspectorate, whose authority and position have never been weakened, and a set of effective rules and regulations have been accumulated. Inform the inspector of his grandfather's words, and if he still knows the honor and disgrace, he will go to rectify the affairs of the hospital. ”

"Grandpa, the life of the inspector is still subject to others, how can he force his iron-faced selflessness, loyalty to the royal family and glory and wealth are not opposites, the royal knife of killing and exterminating the clan should not be put on the head of the iron-faced royal history who is for the country, the people and the king. The Inspectorate has lost its sharpness, although Ying'er has not investigated it carefully, she still feels that the root cause lies in my royal family, and if the officials are silent, there will be traitors in power. ”

The more Dugu Ying spoke, the more excited he became, and when he realized that the words implicated the prince, and even more insinuated that the king was mediocre, he hurriedly stopped talking and knelt down, and the smile on the old king's face gradually faded: "If you are not the county lord, you will be an inspector, and you will not let the former sages with iron bones, and you will almost not directly say that your grandfather is weak and incompetent in government affairs." ”

Duguying knelt on the ground and said nothing, regretting that she had spoken too radically, but she couldn't take the words back, anyway, it was right, grandpa had to admit it if he wanted to punish him.

"The county, government, and city inspectors are separated from the constraints of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the localities, and the upper and lower lines are under the control of the Inspectorate. The royal family does not kill the inspector, it is a good mention, and one more is not as good as the family. ”

"Your Majesty is wise. ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty is wise, Grandpa is lazy, get up, Grandpa won't let your father know, or he should be scared for a few days. ”

"Grandpa Xie doesn't punish Ying'er. Dugu Ying jumped up, saw that her grandfather had no smile on his face, and stood up obediently, the old king shook his head and smiled when he saw that she was wronged: "There is a smile on the face, but there may not be joy in the heart, joy and anger are freewheeling, impermanent, invisible, forget the secret, you still have to practice diligently." ”

"The Inspectorate privately pressured and reported that his crime was not light, in the court, you have to redress the grievances of the imperial history, but also receive your own punishment, what is the punishment? Hehe, draw up a good script, grandpa will be thrown to the noble house, and this pool of stagnant water should also ripple. ”

"Grandpa, which old guys, Ying'er admits her mistakes, she is an elder of the empire, I can't argue with them, Zhun Bao came to suspend again, and in the end you still didn't support Ying'er. ”

"Hey, what are you going to do, the inspector can't do it, Ling Huqing, she is in charge of the internal affairs of the inspectorate, it's just right to grind the teeth of the old guys, do you dare to bet with grandpa?"

"Win or lose your bets. ”

"Alas, that's why you can amuse your grandfather, and the bets on winning and losing are all yours, what else is this bet on, hehe. Wait to see the show, the House of Nobles, hehe, it has been quiet for eight or nine years, and it will be lively again. ”

After guiding his granddaughter on the official duties of the Inspectorate, the old king asked with a smile: "Gao Yuan stayed in the palace for seven days, do you know what happened?" Dugu Ying replied angrily: "Grandpa, I am either investigating the secrets in the palace, or I am afraid that he will not understand the rules and make mistakes, so I asked several times, and I was forced to say that I was in a coma for seven days, who did I lie." ”

"Seven days in a coma, hehe, in fact, he is half-awake and half-faint and can't tell the truth from the false, he is confused and learns a lot of formulas, the court will disperse and stay in Merlin, ask for martial arts, tell the truth, but you don't believe it, he just omitted to ask for advice, he didn't beat people with his own hands for decades, he just happened to run into him, hahaha, even the old military order was made, the martial saint beat the general, it's funny to think about. ”

Dugu Ying was pleasantly surprised: "Grandpa, have you broken through?" The old king shook his head lightly: "Almost, thanks to Gao Yuanna, he was taught by the martial saint in the grassland, and what he learned inspired his grandfather a lot, and the old military order also gained a lot." Of course, the biggest harvest is still Gao Yuan, the two martial saints personally accompanied the trial, and they were the first people in the Luofeng Continent. ”

"Grandpa's success is imminent, and the three martial saints teach him, so he is not afraid of bullying me in the future. ”

"After learning half of my Dugu family's tricks, I won't even have the idea of bullying you in this life, hehe, don't blame grandpa, how can I leave you a disaster." ”

Dugu Yingjiao said with a smile: "I won't blame grandpa, Hua Yue's cultivation is fast, if I go out of the mortal and enter the sainthood with him, what will Yan Ning and I do?" Hua Yue didn't say, the three of us have to go together, or we all stay, I have already been prepared, so he can't go." ”

"Okay, it is worthy of being the county lord of my Dugu family, haha, don't be lax in government affairs, although the secular rights are good, how can you compare with the scene of the immortal family. The old king said and told his granddaughter: "You and Hua Yue know, don't tell Gao Yuan, his cultivation method is special, he already knows that it is harmful and unprofitable, so let's honestly give you a lieutenant first." ”

"Broken military captain, not a single soldier!"

"Hehe, sharpen your temperament first, the same is true for the three of you, use force to kill, grandpa suffered a loss back then, otherwise he wouldn't still be a little worse today, don't follow grandpa's old path. ”
