Chapter 238 must dig out the people behind him

Xu Jingzong is very rare to sleep with his Pei family, and they are safe and sound. When the window paper outside the window was shining with blue light, Pei Shi had already woken up, and she crept up to find the fire sickle and light the candle.

The candle flame flickered in the bedroom, Xu Jingzong slept very lightly, and then woke up, he closed his eyes slightly and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's just three o'clock!" Pei Shi lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Jingzong's exposed muscles, the original Xu Jingzong was thin and weak, and it seemed that a gust of wind could blow him down.

It's just that after he worshiped Chen Ying as the master, he saw Princess Pingyang's henchman Ma Sanbao, Chen Ying's henchman Guo Luo and Zhou Qing, including Ashina Shimo, who smelled the chicken and danced, practiced knives, practiced martial arts, and Xu Jingzong was not easy to sleep, so he had to practice martial arts with everyone. Gradually, Xu Jingzong's kung fu has improved without knowing, anyway, he rarely fights, but his tendons and flesh can be compared to the bodybuilders of later generations.

Pei Shi said: "It's time for the husband to get up, today is the first day of your new official." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded.

Pei hurriedly held the neatly stacked clothes, came to Xu Jingzong, first served Xu Jingzong to put on the jacket inside, and then put on Xu Jingzong's crimson official uniform.

Three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five prisons, most of the people who can be five-grade officials are forty years old, however, Xu Jingzong has just achieved this position in the year he was established, and it seems that it is not impossible to surpass his father Xu Shanxin in the future and rank above the fourth grade.

Xu Jingzong is also lamenting that there are people in the DPRK who are good officials. Historically, until the eighth year of Zhenguan, Xu Jingzong was still a secretary and supervisor, which was only a petty official from the seventh grade. However, in this time and space, Xu Jingzong was promoted to the rank of Zhonglang of the Wupin Bibu in the sixth year of Wude. As early as the time of Wagang, he and Wei Zheng served Li Mi as a secretary to join the army, but he didn't expect that after many years, Li Mi had already become a pile of loess, and Xu Jingzong partnered with Wei Zheng.

After washing, Xu Jingzong finished breakfast and went to the Criminal Department by car, in fact, although the power is greater, but the rank is not high, above Xu Jingzong, there are also the Criminal Department Shangshu and Shilang, according to the system, Xu Jingzong needs to visit the Criminal Department Shangshu and Shilang before he can go to work.

The so-called pulling the tiger skin to fill the banner, although he usually gets along with his colleagues to be humble and peaceful, and abide by the rules, Xu Jingzong will naturally no longer stick to that set of old rules, and go directly to meet Qiu Xinggong, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, Qiu Xinggong is the grandson of Qiu Shou, the general of Zhendong of the Western Wei Dynasty, the son of the general of Zuo Wuhou and the son of Jizhou Thorn Shiqiu He, although he followed Li Shimin to fight in the shallow water plateau, and then went to Luoyang, but Xu Jingzong knew very well that Qiu Xinggong was the person of Princess Pingyang.

Qiu Xinggong, who was originally a doctor of Guanglu, was transferred to the criminal department as a waiter because he was strict and ruthless, according to the old rules, Xu Jingzong first entered the office, and he could not directly go to the ministry to perform his duties, and after taking up his post in the criminal department, he needed to have a probationary and ministry assessment process, and the cycle could be long or short, as short as three or five months, or as long as one or two years may not be able to officially take office.

However, Qiu Xinggong saw that Xu Jingzong was holding Li Xiuning's red scum, and waved his hand, eliminating the process of Xu Jingzong's apprenticeship, and directly making a palm print.

With the positive seal of the ministry, Xu Jingzong looked at the accounts sent by the ministries, because Xu Jingzong has been taking care of Chen Ying's outer courtyard industry all these years, as well as the delivery with Datang Tongli Money Village, and following Chen Ying to learn the accounting methods of later generations, Xu Jingzong only glanced at it, and found the problem in the accounts.

Xu Jingzong instructed Bibu Zuoshi Zhou Shide and Xun Zu to believe: "Take out these suspicious accounts!" ”

Zhou Shide was secretly surprised, he is a veteran official for many years, and he knows the accounts audited by the ministry at a glance, the key is that Xu Jingzong has just taken office, and he can see the problematic accounts at a glance, obviously a cadre who is proficient in auditing, such a senior official is here, and it will not be easy for them to do anything in the future.

Zhou Shide said: "Langzhong, is it just an excerpt?" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "Yes, it's just an excerpt!" The amount is not large, so there is no need to copy! ”

Xun Zuxin said in surprise: "Corruption below ten yuan (about equal to guan) is not taken care of, and more than ten yuan is enough to kill the head." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's face twitched.

Zhou Shide came in with a stack of paperwork and said, "Langzhong, these are all just handed over for reimbursement, are they approved......

Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "Don't make a noise, reimburse first." ”

Xu Jingzong put the excerpts of these accounts into his sleeve, and then said: "What did I do before, what do I have to do now, Ben Langzhong will go to the East Palace first, and then come back!" ”

……

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng saw that he looked at the silk book that recorded the corruption information, and angrily slapped the case, swept the silk book down and jumped to the ground, and pulled it for a long time.

Li Jiancheng pointed to the silk book and roared: "Xu Jingzong, you are so with the light? On the sidelines, sit and watch those moths and corruption? Why don't you take this opportunity to put the government in order? ”

Xu Jingzong retorted bitterly: "This is not what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should take care of now, if you really want to take care of this matter, think about it, how to become the emperor." ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

Xu Jingzong said: "As long as you become the emperor, you can manage these things as you want; If you don't want to be an emperor at all, not only can't you manage these things, but you have to think less about them. ”

Li Jiancheng let out a low roar of frustration and left angrily.

Xu Jingzong had a good time to tidy up and slowly put away the silk book.

Wei Zheng looked at Xu Jingzong with a thoughtful face. Seeing Li Jiancheng leave angrily, he hurried to catch up.

Li Jiancheng stood depressedly outside the warm pavilion of the East Palace, letting the cold wind blow on his face, but although the cold wind was cold, it could not extinguish the flame of anger in Li Jiancheng's heart.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng's arrival, and said angrily: "This Xu Jingzong is too disappointing to this palace!" ”

Wei Zheng obviously knew the reason for Li Jiancheng's anger, but he pretended not to know and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how did Xu Jingzong provoke His Highness?" ”

Li Jiancheng sighed helplessly, and said word by word: "Xu Jingzong went to the Criminal Department to take office, and found out a bunch of corruption, at least more than ten yuan, and he was directly beheaded according to the law." ”

Wei Zheng nodded and did not answer.

Li Jiancheng said indignantly: "But what about Xu Jingzong? Take the evidence but do nothing, let those moths continue to embezzle. I advise him to report to His Majesty, what do you Xu Jingzong say......"

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng, the smile on his face was still the same, and he said lightly: "What do you say?" ”

Li Jiancheng glared and said indignantly: "He said that my father doesn't care about this at all, and His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't care either, if I want to take care of this matter, I will become the emperor first." ”

Li Jiancheng looked entangled, almost wailing: "But, why wait later? Why can't it be dealt with now? ”

Wei Zheng said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are so confused! ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng puzzled and said, "Xuancheng, you say, you say."

Wei Zheng pointed to Li Jiancheng and began to count unceremoniously: "Corruption, it is no longer an isolated phenomenon, how many officials are not corrupt in the Manchu Dynasty?" These embezzlers, if His Highness disposes of them now, he will force them to the Qin Palace. Once His Royal Highness makes a big effort to fight corruption, these officials will definitely have trouble sleeping, and they will definitely find ways to pull the crown prince down from the position of the East Palace! ”

"Pull it down, pull it down, such an aggrieved prince, this palace really doesn't want to be it?" Li Jiancheng said: "I and the criminal official, I swear not to stand together, and we will not share the sky!" ”

Wei Zheng then talked eloquently: "Do you think that you have the final say on whether you become an emperor or not?" What you think, it doesn't matter at all, what matters is - His Majesty wants you to be the emperor, Xiao Chen Zhugong, wants you to be the emperor, the generals of the East Palace, wants you to be the emperor, Princess Pingyang, General Chen, also wants you to be the emperor. ”

Li Jiancheng's face was slightly gloomy, and the hands in his big sleeves unconsciously clenched into fists.

Wei Zheng said: "King Qin doesn't want you to be the emperor, but he thinks that he wants to be the emperor; The ministers of the Qin Palace, they all think that the King of Qin is better than you as the emperor. Now, it doesn't really matter whether you are an emperor or not, what matters is how you choose, there will only be two completely different results. ”

Li Jiancheng asked urgently: "What is the result?" ”

Wei Zheng stretched out a finger and raised it: "One is that you are the emperor, I, Wei Zheng, assist Mingjun, our monarchs and ministers work together to create a peaceful and prosperous era, the world Chang'an, the East Palace Zhuqing, everyone is promoted to the knighthood, and everyone is happy." The other is ......"

Wei Zheng paused, stretched out another finger, and in the next second, a smile appeared, and he said ruthlessly: "You are dead, I am dead, His Royal Highness King Jing will die, the crown princess will die, General Chen will also die, Princess Pingyang will also die, everyone is dead......

Li Jiancheng was startled, stood up suddenly, and stared at Wei Zheng in front of him.

Wei Zheng said lightly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, think about it, if it weren't for Du Fuwei's sudden attack, would you still be alive now?" Now it's different from the past, in the past, the fight between our East Palace and the Qin Wangfu was just a very ordinary political struggle, but now it's life and death, and it's difficult to coexist! ”

Li Jiancheng fell silent.

At this moment, Li Yuanji said excitedly: "Big brother, I found out!" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji and said, "What did you find out?" ”

"Who instructed that Guo Shaogang!" Li Yuanji smiled coldly: "Big brother, you definitely can't think of who Guo Shaogang is, right?" ”

With Li Jiancheng's identity and status, how could he know that Guo Shaogang was such an unpopular petty official.

Li Yuanji said: "Guo Shaogang is Du Fengju's father-in-law, this Du Fengju is the cousin of Du Ruhui of the Qin Palace, and Du Yan left a merry wild seed outside when he was young. ”

Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "Where is Du Fengju?" Dead? ”

Li Yuanji said: "How could I let him die, he is alive and well now, big brother, let's take Du Fengju into the palace now, and let Daddy give the eldest brother justice!" ”

Wei Zheng asked, "Du Fengju's courage is too big, right?" ”

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "This mongrel has returned to the ancestor of the Du clan, so some people have made it a condition to join the Du clan...... And he ......"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough to convince people, a Du Feng's weight is too light, and the people behind him must be dug out!" ”

……

The journey back to Beijing was boring, in order to alleviate the boredom of women such as Li Xiuning and Li Daozhen, Chen Ying let people create mahjong in later generations, and casually handed over the rules of the game to Li Xiuning and others.

Thanks to Chen Ying's many women, Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, Chen Ying, and He Yueer made up a table, and Xu Erniang, Fukada Huayin, Red Sleeves, and Green Beads made up another table.

Chen Ying and the others were playing mahjong while riding in a carriage, and the boredom of the road could also be alleviated.
