"This matter, Lord Zhongshu is very unhappy. Cui Huanzhi said at this time, Chu Xian nodded, can this be happy? First, Luo Wenju was overwhelmed, he actually did something wrong, and let people seize the handle, in this way, it will also have an impact on Xiao Yu's reputation, and now who doesn't know that this Luo Wenju is an official who advocates being a Zhongshu department, and he almost didn't stick the words "My backer is a Zhongshu master" on the door of his head.

In addition, Xiao Yu must also have an opinion on that Yue Xiaoyun, this person doesn't look at the timing, messes around, and this concentration and judgment alone is not enough.

is a little inadequate to do imperial history, let alone be a criminal secretary.

Such a person is obviously incompetent.

"It can be said that whether it is Luo Wenju or Yue Xiaoyun, there is no chance, but this is also a good thing for you. Cui Huanzhi said at this time.

Speaking of this, Cui Huanzhi looked at Chu Xian, and then asked in a low voice: "I heard that you went to Shuzhou yesterday, and the other most advantageous competitor, Zheng Guanjie, is from Shuzhou, Chu Xian, you tell me the truth, what is going on?"

Obviously, Cui Huanzhi didn't know the inside story, and thought that Chu Xian was going to find out the details of his competitors, and if he really did this, then Chu Xian would also have to be 'out'.

Chu Xian had a clear conscience: "This matter, I will explain it at the court meeting tomorrow, and this is how it ......."

At that moment, Chu Xian told the ins and outs of the matter, and Cui Huanzhi was dumbfounded.

"I see, no wonder you will run away, so to speak, if you don't dig up this matter, give justice to the deceased, and investigate the real murderer, then this incident will become a reason for others to attack you. After Cui Huanzhi finished speaking, Chu Xian said: "This matter, I did it carefully, because Shuzhou is too far away from Jingzhou, so in a short time, the news will not come back so quickly, tomorrow, I want to see who is attacking me with this matter, and I can see who is doing these small actions behind my back." ”

Cui Huanzhi nodded, but still shook his head: "No, even if you find it out, but the unjust dead cannot be resurrected, and you, as the chief magistrate, are still responsible for this matter." ”

Chu Xian also nodded: "Yes, in this matter, the student has never thought of shirking responsibility, tomorrow the court meeting, the student union will tell the truth, and bear the responsibility of poor supervision, even if it is because he can't get the official position of Shizhonglang, the student will not be resentful." ”

"It's great that you have that state of mind. When Cui Huanzhi heard Chu Xian's words, he nodded again and again, and Cui Huanzhi is now also one of the four rank officials, standing tall and seeing far away. He knew that maybe Chu Xian would not be able to seek the official position of Shi Zhonglang because of this matter, but there was no doubt that no matter whether he was above or below, Chu Xian would gain more than he lost.

As an official, you have to look at the long run, and those who seek personal gain will not go far after all, and only those who do the right thing can go to the end.

But unfortunately, there are many people who know this truth, and there are very few who can really do it and can continue to do it.

Cui Huanzhi came this time, mainly because he was afraid that Chu Xian, like everyone else, would be blinded by the immediate interests, mess up his mind, and do some wrong things, but now that he looks at it, this worry is superfluous.

Chu Xian was more stable and far-sighted than he thought.

On the second day, Chu Xian got up early and rushed with Chu San, but Chu San naturally couldn't follow up and waited outside like the other guards.

Entering the court meeting, Chu Xian stood behind as usual, and this time there were still many officials who greeted him, and Chu Xian responded with a smile. At this time, after several Wen Saints of the Wensheng Academy came in, they saw Chu Xian and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Chu Xian hurriedly saluted.

Several Wen Sheng responded with a smile, this scene looked at the eyes of others, but they didn't feel anything, after all, Chu Xian was named a model for literati by the Wensheng Academy, although the Wen Sheng of the Wensheng Academy did not often come to participate in the court meeting, but when he came, he was very kind and polite to Chu Xian, and the other officials were already surprised.

When the hour came, the pilgrimage began.

This time, the immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion still did not come to Qi, Taishi Lu Yan did not come, General Qin Yuanmou did not come, and General Yu Run Boran was also not there.

Even, Da Situ didn't come.

Yang Zhenqing is here, and at this moment on the cloud seat, there are Zhongshu Ling, Da Sikong, Liubu Shangshu, Wang Shenling and others.

After all, they are the first and auxiliary cabinet immortal officials in charge of internal affairs, so they have to participate in the court meeting more often.

Naturally, there were many major events to be discussed at the court meeting, so for the next hour or so, these matters were thrown out for discussion one by one.

Finally, the secretary of the ministry came out and began to say that he would agree on several vacant official positions, including the criminal secretary Zhonglang.

This official position is not small, Jingzhou is the fifth grade, and the potential for promotion is huge, I don't know how many people are staring at this official position and want to seek it.

However, when choosing the officials of the five products of Jingzhou, it is obvious that they must be very cautious, and the list of candidates must be selected by the Ministry of Officials, and then submitted to the court meeting and the first auxiliary cabinet for deliberation, and finally the opinions of all parties can be finally determined.

It can be said that in the land of Jingzhou, especially the Zhengwupin officials who can participate in the court meeting, every choice is cautious.

In this way, there are many officials who are not qualified enough and want to fill up the number indiscriminately, and there are officials who have no background and no backers, after all, if the official is in a high position, it can also affect the list of officials to choose personnel.

However, this time, the officials were obviously a little caught off guard in the selection of personnel. Because just yesterday, something happened, and the people on this list changed.

Originally, there were four candidates who could finally be discussed at the court meeting, but what happened yesterday directly disqualified one of them, Luo Wenju.

This Luo Wenju was found to have done a lot of absurd things under the guise of building coastal defense under the guise of building coastal defense. As a result, yesterday, it was the East Window Incident, which was investigated by an imperial historian in Jingzhou, so that this Luo Wenju did not go further, even the original position of long history could not be kept.

So the list has been reduced from four to three.

Immediately, an official of the Ministry of Officials was reading out the list of candidates for this official position, and sure enough, it was Shuzhou Zheng Guanjie, Jingzhou Yue Xiaoyun, and Jingzhou Chuxian.

To be honest, many people are optimistic about Chu Xian, and they all say that Chu Xian will break the strange circle and routine that the probable officer of the Criminal Department cannot go further.

"At present, the three candidate officials selected by the Ministry of Officials have been screened through layers of screening, my lords, let's all share our opinions. "The official of the Ministry of Officials, as is customary, asked for opinions.

This is the most critical time.

Whoever you support, you must stand up without hesitation at this time, otherwise once the general trend is formed and the support of most officials is won, then this matter will basically not run.

"This official position is in the Criminal Department, then, the Secretary of the Criminal Department, you can talk about your opinions. On the cloud seat, Xiao Yu opened his mouth to speak.

This is called seizing the opportunity.

Xiao Yu naturally knew that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department supported Chu Xian, so he asked the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to speak first, just to build momentum for Chu Xian, speaking of which, Xiao Yu was indeed annoyed yesterday, but he was also glad, glad that he did not choose that Luo Wenju, if he really let Luo Wenju come up, and then the problem was found out, then it would be difficult to get it on his side.

So in Xiao Yu's heart, Chu Xian is still stable, although Chu Xian is a little lacking in age, but the Holy Dynasty selects talents, which cannot set any threshold, so even if Chu Xian is promoted, it is no problem, the most important thing is that Chu Xian has this ability and talent, which is well known.

Shang Shu of the Criminal Department over there nodded, and said directly: "Since Lord Zhongshu asked me to say it first, then I will say it first, among these three candidate officials, our Criminal Department is indeed tending, I think that Chu Xian, the current chief promoter of the Criminal Department, is the most suitable for this official position." ”

In a word, unreserved support.

This made many officials know in their hearts that today's mention of the criminal secretary Zhonglang is afraid that it is none other than Chu Xian.

But at this time, a royal historian over there suddenly spoke: "Lord Zhou, wait a while, someone reported that this Chu Xian's trial was not detailed, resulting in an unjust, false and wrongful case, this matter still needs to be verified, if it is true, then it is a little inappropriate to promote Chu Xian at this time." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department over there frowned: "Liang Yushi, what you said wouldn't be the case of the Shuzhou Zhang family's extermination, right?"

The imperial history was stunned, he didn't expect that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department actually knew, and it felt bad at the moment, but at the moment, he couldn't help but say this, so he said: "It turns out that Lord Zhou knows?"

"Of course I know, Chu Xian reported it a few days ago, and the unjust, false and wrongful case you mentioned does exist. After Shangshu of the Criminal Department said something, an official immediately said: "There really is, then the matter of Chu Xian's promotion to Zhonglang will have to be postponed, at least this matter must be clarified." ”

"Yes, that's how it should be, of course, this is not to doubt how Chu Xian is, it's just that according to the laws of our Holy Dynasty, we must be cautious in the appointment of officials. Another official also spoke up.

Obviously, these officials are all from other forces, either they are on the opposite side, or they are ready to fish in troubled waters, anyway, they have no intention of letting Chu Xian take the position.

And as long as you look closely, you will find that among these people, Yang Zhenqing's family accounts for the majority.

The Yang family supports Zheng Guanjie.

When Chu Xian saw this, he already understood that it was indeed this person who was behind the ghost.

The criminal department Shangshu was angry.

To be honest, if Chu Xian hadn't discovered the problem early and hadn't found out the inside story of this case in a very short period of time, I am afraid that it would really be planted in the hands of the other party today.

Although the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a Dao Immortal, in terms of investigating the case and judging the murderer, he knows very well that Chu Xian can indeed be called the first in the Holy Dynasty, and only Kong Qian was talking about the first in this Holy Dynasty before, but most of them believed it, but since Chu Xian found out the murder of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, the first official of the Holy Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
