The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 484

Since ancient times, the king's heart is unpredictable, Xuan Shijing knows better than anyone else, even His Majesty Li Er can't jump out of this circle, so it's better to be prepared and safe.

"Master Hou, will His Majesty really send someone to investigate at Shenhou's Mansion?" Long'er asked.

Xuan Shijing nodded with a smile: "It will definitely be." Then he sighed: "Even if it is not possible, be prepared, this matter has already involved His Highness the Crown Prince, so we must be extremely cautious."

Long'er nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, His Royal Highness said that some officials who were going to take office in Changzhou recently were attacked when they passed by the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs. The gang of thieves didn't hurt their lives. Have you heard anything about it?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"No way, but many people eating here are talking about some officials leaving the city for a few hours, and then returning back in disgrace. Was he released after being beaten by thieves in the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs?" Long'er said in surprise.

"It's not far from ten, now His Royal Highness is asking His Majesty to accept this case, but the Crown Prince is the crown prince after all, it's impossible for the **** to investigate the case outside the palace, so in the afternoon, His Royal Highness entrusted the matter to It's me." Xuan Shijing said.

"Then Lord Hou agreed?"

Xuan Shijing nodded: "That's right, this might not be an opportunity for our Shenhou Mansion." Speaking of this, Xuan Shijing smiled: "The ability of the Jinyiwei in our Shenhou Mansion is no better than that of the Baiqi Division. How bad are the people, when everything is on the right track, Lord Hou, I still have to give them a good lesson."

Xuan Shijing didn't bother to say, now His Majesty Li Er's Baiqisi is like that mouse crossing the street, and no one in Chang'an City wants to see him, but all of this is karmic reincarnation, and it was also because of Li Er His Majesty had just taken that seat, and there were many people with different ideas in Chang'an City, so the Baiqisi came into being.

Today, the Shenhou Mansion created by Xuan Shijing does not intend to follow the model of Baiqisi. Baiqisi is disgusting, and Xuan Shijing's Jinyiwei will be admired by people in the future, and it will make Xiaoxiao afraid.

"Master Hou wants to use the case of the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs as a good start for our Shenhou Mansion?" Long'er asked.

"Exactly, during the day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a conjecture. I think this conjecture makes sense, that is, the murderer in the eastern suburbs hunting ground was a person from the green forest." Xuan Shijing said.

"Why are you so suspicious?" Long'er was puzzled.

"At that time, I followed His Royal Highness and the guards he brought out to search the hunting grounds in the eastern suburbs for a long time, but I didn't find any clues. If someone was hiding in the hunting grounds in the eastern suburbs, it was absolutely impossible for the snow to melt. There is no trace left, and the [-]% possibility is that these people did not hide in the hunting ground at all." Xuan Shijing touched his chin and analyzed: "There is such a big commotion, and the people around have no reaction. This is even more unusual, so, I guess, the person who committed the crime, Dakou may not be a local, but a stranger from outside, so the people around him didn't pay attention to them. After all, Chang'an City is so big, come here There are often so many people, just those foreign people and Hu merchants, who come out of the Baqiao every day, if the acquaintances around commit crimes, there must be abnormalities before their actions, and it is impossible to hide these abnormalities The eyes of so many people."

"Besides, if a local is at the foot of the emperor and beats the imperial court official, isn't that his own death?" Xuan Shijing laughed.

"If it's really someone from the Greenwood Road, then it's easier to handle. Just ask Uncle Qian to send a letter of divorce to the hands of all the leaders. I believe there will be results soon." Long'er said: "Master Hou It was also said just now that the people involved in the accident were all officials who were going to take up positions in Changzhou and its vicinity, so could the perpetrators come from there?"

"It's very possible, so now in Changzhou, I need someone to inquire. Tomorrow I will ask Fang Yiai to sort out the list of officials who were beaten up as soon as possible, and then I will ask someone to find out their details in Changzhou. Let's see if we can find any suspicious points." Xuan Shijing said.

Long'er nodded: "Then tomorrow I will discuss with Uncle Qian about writing letters to all the masters on the road."

In the early morning of the next day, after all the ministers sang the ceremony, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials began to talk about a major event at the court meeting, that is, the spring exam.

Originally, there were more than 50 permanent subjects in the imperial examination, such as Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, and Mingshu. Unfortunately, Mingfa, Mingshu, Mingzi and other subjects were not taken seriously.Disciplines such as Junshi are not held frequently, only Mingjing and Jinshi are the two subjects that are the most important.

Xuan Shijing has learned a little about this big exam after he came back. If it is said that the two subjects of Mingjing and Jinshi are all nerds, it is not necessarily the case. The most important thing is current affairs policy and scriptures. No matter which one is tested, you can't get around this current affairs policy.

In the final analysis, they are all the principles of governing the country, but are these principles what the people of Tang Dynasty really need?The common people only care about farming in four seasons, how can they have enough food and clothing, how can they eat with the face of God
Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing lowered his head, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth. Throughout thousands of years of history, he has never heard of a craftsman who was respected for making tools that save time and effort for the people, and he has never seen Those who brought corn, peanuts, tomatoes and other crops to the Central Plains became famous
It's really inexplicably sad. After all, there will still be Mr. Li and Mr. Yuan in future generations.

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as a martial arts exam, so when it came to the imperial examination, it was full of civil servants discussing strategies, while the generals were watching their noses and noses, and their noses and mouths were on the sidelines. Standing silently.

Every time I catch up with the spring exam, after the Shangyuan and the spring is about to start, it will be like this, and it is not surprising.

The imperial examination, for candidates, may be a good opportunity for a carp to leap into the dragon's gate, for the imperial court, it is a good opportunity for selecting talents, and for aristocratic families, there must be more people who can be wooed. Some, but for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, it is endlessly busy, the arrangement of the examination room, the inspection of the candidates, and the most important thing is the test paper.

Of course, it wasn't just the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites who were busy before the big exam. Dali Temple couldn't escape such a situation. When it came to the big exam, the inspection of the entire Chang'an City would also be stricter.

Now Xuan Shijing seldom goes to Dali Temple, and usually stays in Xuanwu Tower after the morning court, or takes him with him in Shenhou Mansion.

The establishment of the Shenhou Mansion is still early, and there are some things that Xuan Shijing needs to take care of. For example, the secret room in the cell, Xuan Shijing plans to expand it secretly, and make the secret room into the Shenhou Mansion to store files. The place.

Here Xuan Shijing was distracted thinking about the affairs of the Shenhou Mansion, while in the court hall, they were discussing about the chief examiner of this year's exam.
