Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 824
Chapter [-]: One Emperor and One Courtier
Hou Junji was about to return to Prince Qin's Mansion and was walking on the road when suddenly there was rhythmic knocking on the carriage next to the entrance of the alley.

Three long and two short, one long and one short.Hou Junji's face changed slightly, this was the call signal from the guard of the left prison.

Hou Junji's face changed slightly, in front of Li Yuan, he was actually flustered.Li Shimin was not ignorant of Li Jiancheng's almost murder, but very clear.However, he concealed a little from Li Yuan, because Li Shimin proposed marriage to Hou Junji with Fang Xuanling, and wanted to marry Hou Junji, so he let Li Chengqian, the son of King Qin, marry Hou Junji's daughter as his wife.

Although Hou Junji knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface, he must have accidentally let Li Shimin discover something. This was a solicitation called marriage proposal, and it was also the last ultimatum.

Once Hou Junji rejects Li Shimin's kindness, then he, Hou Junji, may be hit to death by a galloping carriage, may even choke to death while eating, or may be shot to death by a stray arrow when he is on the battlefield. .

If Li Shimin wanted Hou Junji to die, there was absolutely no possibility for Hou Junji to escape. The key was that Hou Junji had no choice at all. He could never be honest with Li Yuan. His identity leaked could kill Li Shimin at any time.

In this way, Li Yuan would think that Hou Junji was incompetent, as one of the four secret spies of "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang" of Zuojianmen, revealing his identity would mean death.

However, compromise with Li Shimin and help Li Shimin deceive Li Yuan. Once the matter is successful, Li Shimin is the crown prince, Li Chengqian may also be the crown prince, and his daughter is the future crown princess and queen, so for Hou Junji, it will also maximize the benefits.

This time Li Jiancheng was murdered. In fact, Changsun Wuji used Guo Shaogang under the command of Hou Mo Chenxu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Of the two prostitutes, although Li Shimin is not as good as Li Jiancheng, relatively speaking, he has a much greater advantage over Li Yuanji.

However, as soon as he left the palace, the guards from the left prison came to contact him.Hou Junji's heart moved, did he say: "He missed the truth in front of Li Yuan?"

Thinking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed in Hou Junji's eyes.His hand instantly touched his waist, and he pulled out a bone-penetrating nail about three inches long. When necessary, he could kill someone to silence him.

Hou Junji took a deep breath, and slowly boarded the carriage, and then lowered the curtain of the carriage. It took a while for Hou Junji's eyes to adapt to the darkness in the carriage.

Not surprisingly, the person sitting across from him was none other than Yu Yanzhang, the General of the Zuojian Gate Guard, who was also a well-known master since Yu Juluo's death, as well as Zhang Zhongjian. Hou Junji's eyes dimmed.

In front of Yu Yanzhang, he couldn't get out of ten rounds at all, even if it was a sneak attack, there was no possibility of half a point.

Yu Yanzhang looked at Hou Junji thoughtfully and said, "Your buttocks are crooked!"

Hou Junji bowed his head and said, "Humble...wronged!"

"Hmph!" Yu Yanzhang snorted coldly: "As the emperor's minion, you will turn your back on your master, you know the consequences!"

Hou Junji's face was covered with cold sweat, and the bone-piercing nail in his hand was clenched even tighter.

Just when Hou Junji was about to violently deal with Yu Yanzhang, when he was about to fight to the death.Yu Yanzhang sighed and said, "You can do it yourself!"

Yu Yanzhang flicked his sleeves suddenly, and Hou Junji felt a huge force coming in front of him, as if a galloping rhinoceros hit him, he flew upside down outside the carriage, fell to the ground with a plop, and did not crawl for a long time stand up.

Originally, Yu Yanzhang really wanted to clean up the house, but the moment he did it, he couldn't bear it.

As the saying goes, one king and one courtier, as the imperial secret guard organization, once Li Yuan is a hundred years later, the Zuojian guard will definitely be banned. The King of Qin has a hundred knights, and Li Jiancheng actually has a pocket intelligence organization, which is under the command of the government. , who belonged to the purchasing personnel of the Food House in honor, but had certain similarities with the guards of the prison.

The point is, once it is abolished, hundreds of thousands of left prison guards died, were disabled, and their family members were killed, disabled, and their families. How should their livelihoods be dealt with for these thousands of families?Undoubtedly, the "Huang" secret agent who was placed next to Chen Ying has also rebelled. He has already surrendered to Chen Ying, otherwise Li Yuan would definitely receive some criticism from Chen Ying, instead of all good words like now.

As for Li Jiancheng's "Tian" secret agent, he also had the idea of ​​compromise. It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Let's take care of each other!

Yu Yanzhang decided not to care about these shitty things anymore. No matter who is in power, "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang" will not abandon the power of the left prison guard. At that time, the left prison guard may still have life.

Thinking of this, Yu Yanzhang felt relieved!
……

Xu Jingzong seldom went back to Chang'an, he liked Chenjiabao living in Qinglin.Now a bustling city, a commercial capital, has formed outside Chenjiabao.

In fact, Chang'an is not suitable for doing business. As the imperial capital, this is the power center of the Tang Dynasty, and there are too many dignitaries and powerful people living here. It is no exaggeration to say that even an inconspicuous person may stand behind A large group of dignitaries. In this era, the dignitaries all have privileges. If they have no power or influence, no matter how profitable their business is, they will be taken away by them.

Chenjiabao started with business, and Chen Ying is the king here.Although Chenjiabao is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, Wannian County basically does not go to Chenjiabao except for collecting taxes, because the signboards in the Chenjiabao government are useless, and they will be punished if they dare to bully the people and merchants. Then play Chenjiabao, you can't call the wind and rain in Chenjiabao, domineering, these officials and small officials naturally don't want to come to Chenjiabao to eat.

The biggest characteristic of Chenjiabao is fairness, fair business, fair trade, and fair competition.In addition to the workshop, there is also a wine pool and meat forest here. Even Hu Ji, who has always been living in Chang'an and earning a living by selling skin and meat, would rather work here in Chenjiabao.

Xu Jingzong is the steward of Chen Ying's outer court, except for the inner house of Chenjiabao, all the affairs are in the hands of Xu Jingzong, his power is comparable to that of a palm seal.

But now, Xu Jingzong had no choice but to leave Qinglinli and go to Chang'an.Because Princess Pingyang recommended him to be Bibu Langzhong. Although this is an official position from the fifth rank, he has a lot of internal and external taxation, funds, salary, public office, awards, ransom, apprenticeship courses, things owed, and so on. Military resources, weapons, and purchases, income from the Tunnel.This position is the most important position in the 24 divisions of the six departments, responsible for the audit and reimbursement of the entire six departments and two items of property.

This position is equivalent to the director of the National Audit Bureau of later generations, a typical position of humbleness and authority.Xu Jingzong is a very smart person.Although Princess Pingyang was his recommender, he also knew very well that Li Xiuning and Xu Jingzong had only met each other in many ways, and they had never said a few words, so it was absolutely impossible for him to give up this position to him.

The only possibility is that Chen Ying wants to take this position for himself, which can also be said to be the first step for Chen Ying to start running the court.

Xu Jingzong was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, and they are all well-known in the officialdom, that is the family is clear.His appointment as an official position is a sharp sword in Chen Ying's hands. As long as he needs it, he can review all officials below the fourth rank in the three provinces, six departments, ten provinces, thirteen prefectures, and more than three hundred prefectures, whether military or political.

In the future, if Chen Ying wants to replace the officials in any position with his own people, he only needs to ask Xu Jingzong to investigate the officials in that position. Crows in the world are as dark as black, which official would not be afraid of investigation?
Sit in the carriage and go to Chang'an City.Xu Jingzong looked at Li Jiancheng's red card, with a very meaningful smile on his face.Li Jiancheng has nothing to do with him, but now he has let himself be Zuo Chunfang Zhongyun. If he is placed in the court, this position will be Zhongshu Shilang, one of the real prime ministers with the right to criticize.

Xu Jingzong went back to Xu Jingzong's house first. Although Xu Jingzong's house was sold to Chen Ying, Chen Ying never bought other houses in Chang'an City, but he bought another one in Qinglongfang near Quchifang Furong Garden. Although the courtyard of Setuwujin is not bigger than the house that Xu Jingzong sold to Chen Ying, it is more exquisite.

Even after Xu Jingzong gave birth to his second son, Xu Ang, he still didn't have much time to go home. This time, when his car arrived at his door, he noticed something strange.

Xu Jingzong looked at Xu Zhong, the gatekeeper, and said, "Uncle Zhong, what's going on?"

Xu Zhong smiled all over his face and said, "So that Alang would know, this is a gift from Pei Xiangguo's son, Pei Xiangguo's son, Lawyer Pei. Congratulations Alang for his promotion!"

Although Xu Jingzong's wife, Xu Jingzong, was born in the Pei family, but she has no direct relationship with Pei Ji. If you count three generations, it can barely be regarded as a clan.The Pei family called Pei Ji the clan's uncle, that was also high-profile, and they didn't see each other during the usual festivals.

He had just been promoted to Bibu Langzhong and Zuochunfang Zhongyun, and even before he formally took up the post, the relatives came.

Not only the Pei family came to give gifts, but even the Nanyang Fan family who hadn't contacted for a long time also sent six loads of luxurious gifts.The Fan family in Nanyang came after Fan Wang, the Anbei general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but since Fan Wang, there have been no outstanding talents.However, it was Xu Jingzong's grandfather, Fan Xiaocai, who achieved the Nanliang Situ Jijiu and Prince Zhongsheren.

Looking at the presents in the courtyard, the smile on Xu Jingzong's face became more obvious and colder.

When Chen Ying was originally a high-ranking official in one side, Xu Jingzong, as the steward of Chen Ying's outer court, had no official position, only a sixth-rank prose official, and everyone looked down on him.

However, now that Chen Ying has returned strongly, it means that the power of the Prince of Chaotang is more stable.As the prince was almost killed in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Yuan, in a rage, dismissed all the ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Dali Temple, Shaoqing, and the doctor in charge, and dismissed more than [-] officials at once. Li Shimin's party was severely damaged.

This is actually not the most important thing, what is important is that this is just the beginning, Xu Jingzong, a bishop doctor, is intriguing enough, he is likely to take advantage of his position to drive Qin Wang and his party to extinction.

Although the official who took action now is dead, the truth can definitely be found out if an investigation is required.

Li Jiancheng had no choice but to not take this matter to heart. He was afraid that finding out the truth would cause even greater waves in the government and the public.At present, the Tang Dynasty is full of crises, internal and external troubles are frequent, and it can no longer stand the big toss of the DPRK and the Central Party.

Xu Jingzong looked in the direction of the East Palace, and his heart was full of worship. The horn of the battle has already sounded, so let's fight. I, Xu Jingzong, am destined not to be unknown!
