The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 143 Dali Temple

Although he didn't know what Xuan Shijing wanted to do with the money, Qiandui still nodded in agreement. Generally, what his little master said and did was right, just like how the little prince asked him more than ten years ago. It's the same as the land in Chang'an City that I own.

After chatting for a long time with Qian Dui in the room about the current business affairs of the Hou Mansion, Xuan Shijing left Shangpinfang and returned to the Hou Mansion in a carriage. He will not be involved in business matters for a period of time Now, his main energy will be on the matter of the Ministry of War. It's after autumn.

Early the next morning, Xuan Shijing and Long'er went out at the same time, Xuan Shijing rode to Dali Temple, and Long'er went to Guozijian.

When he arrived at Dali Temple, Xuan Shijing went directly to the hall where Dai Zhou was at the back. On the first day he took office, he naturally wanted to meet his immediate superior.

"My lord has seen you." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and saluted Dai Zhou. No matter in terms of title or official position, Dai Zhou was one level older than Xuan Shijing. Xuan Shijing was the Marquis, while Dai Zhou was the county male.

"Xuanhou doesn't need to be so polite. I heard that Xuanhou was slightly ill yesterday. I don't know how he is recovering." Dai Zhou put down the file in his hand, got up and walked to Xuan Shijing's side and asked.

"Thank you for your concern. The health of the next official is fine, so I will come to Dali Temple to take up the post today. I hope you will forgive me for being rude." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and said, yesterday was the day when he took office, but because of the morning The fever was late, and I went shopping with Li Tai and Jinyang in the afternoon. Xuan Shijing's actions were indeed extremely rude in the officialdom. What's more, in Dali Temple in the future, there will still be many places to deal with Dai Zhou, so Xuan Shijing is very polite to Dai Zhou.

"As long as Xuanhou is in good health, I will instruct the master to take you to familiarize yourself with various things. There are not many things that Xuanhou needs to deal with in Dali Temple on weekdays, and it is not difficult to learn." Dai Zhou said, and finished speaking , took Xuan Shijing to the room where the master book was located, and found a master book for Xuan Shijing. In the future, the master book will always work under Xuan Shijing, responsible for taking charge of her seal, recording books, etc.

"Xuanhou, please follow me as an official." The master led Xuan Shijing to wander around the Dali Temple, and introduced him to the layout of the Dali Temple and some important places, including the library for storing various files and Prison where prisoners are held.

"What's your surname?" Xuan Shijing asked. From now on, this person will be his master, and he can't even know his name.

"Hui Xuanhou, the official surname is Yuan, and the cursive character is Kuo." The master secretary replied respectfully.

"Oh, Master Yuan, you have been here in Dali Temple for quite a long time."

"According to the calculation, it has been seven or eight years." Yuan Kuo said.

"I have something I want to ask Mr. Yuan about." Xuan Shijing stopped and turned to Yuan Kuo.

"Xuanhou, please tell me, the next official will know everything."

"Does Dali Temple have information about the Ministry of War?" Xuan Shijing asked lightly.

When Yuan Kuo heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Although he was curious about what the Dongshanhou wanted the information of the Ministry of War for, he cupped his hands and said, "Of course there are. Inquire, but if Lord Hou wants detailed official information, he has to go to the Ministry of Officials." Yuan Kuo said the word "official" in his tone.

That's right, the Ministry of Officials is the place in charge of officials' information, including their evaluation and job transfers, and there are dedicated people to record them in detail.

"That's all right, Mr. Yuan, take me to look at the information of the Ministry of War." Xuan Shijing said, he planned to look at Dali Temple first, and then go to the Ministry of Officials. The identity of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is here. On the one hand, it still works. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that when the people of Dali Temple are dispatched, they are there to investigate the case. He went to the Ministry of Officials in the name of investigating the case.

Xuan Shijing's actions must not be hidden from Sun Yaoting, the only way now is to move quickly, and before Sun Yaoting reacts, find all the things Xuan Shijing wants to know, and destroy them in one blow.

"Okay, Marquis Xuan, please." Yuan Kuo took Xuan Shijing to the room where the six volumes were stored in Dali Temple, opened the door, and invited Xuan Shijing in.

Rows of bookshelves are lined up in the room, and wooden signs are hung beside the bookshelves with bibliography written on them for easy reference.

Following Yuan Kuo to a row of bookshelves with money, Xuan Shijing stopped, and Xuan Shijing saw the wooden sign hanging beside the bookshelf, on which only the word "Ministry of War" was written.

"Xuanhou, this is all the information of the Ministry of War. It has been here since the founding of the Tang Dynasty until now. Look." Yuan Kuo looked at Xuan Shijing.

"It's fine for me to just watch here, Master Yuan can go to work first." Xuan Shijing said.

"Since this is the case, then I will resign first. If Marquis Xuan needs anything, just send someone to notify me." Yuan Kuo cupped his hands and said.

"Well, Lord Yuan, go slowly." Xuan Shijing bowed his hands in return.

After Yuan Kuo left the room, Xuan Shijing began to look at the shelf. There were a lot of things on it, but if, as Yuan Kuo said, these materials were from the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, the amount would be a little less .

Xuan Shijing was suspicious of Sun Yaoting, suspected that he had contacts with Li Yuanjing, so in order to find out this matter, Xuan Shijing had to start from the information of Wude years, because all signs showed that Li Yuanjing started from Li Yuan When he was in office, he began to plan for himself.

After finding one or two brochures of the Ministry of War about the appointment of officials, Xuan Shijing began to look through them. As for other materials of the Ministry of War, they are irrelevant to Xuan Shijing.

The official system of the six departments of the imperial court is the same. There is one minister, two servants, two doctors, two Yuanwailang, three divisions of staff, driving department, and treasury department, each with one doctor, one Yuanwailang, and two Name master.

From the reign of Wude to the 15th year of Zhenguan, almost all the officials of the Ministry of War, large and small, have been changed twice, and the information recorded in Dali Temple only indicates the names of the officials who were replaced. The detailed information about them is one word. Didn't mention it.

What Yuan Kuo said is right, if you want to investigate Sun Yaoting, you really have to go to the Ministry of Officials.

Putting the dossier in his hand back on the bookshelf, Xuan Shijing thought for a while. Although he said that his direction was already clear, if he really started from the data, I am afraid that the things he could find out would be limited. It is better to do a reverse investigation and learn from Sun Yaoting. I started to check it on my body, and the information on my side was only used as an auxiliary.

After figuring out the joints, Xuan Shijing probably understood some ideas, smiled with the corners of his mouth, and left the room where the six materials were stored.
