Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 825 Must Dig Out The Person Behind Him

Chapter [-] Must dig out the person behind him
It was very rare for Xu Jingzong to sleep on the same bed with Mrs. Pei, and they hugged each other safely.When the window paper outside the window was glowing with blue light, Mrs. Pei had already woken up. She got up on tiptoe, fumbled to find the fire sickle, and lit the candle.

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

"At three o'clock just now!" Mrs. Pei lowered her head, not daring to look at Xu Jingzong's exposed muscles. The original Xu Jingzong was emaciated, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

However, after he worshiped Chen Ying as the master, he saw Princess Pingyang's confidant Ma Sanbao, Chen Ying's confidant Guo Luo, Zhou Qing, including Ashina Shimo, they danced, practiced knives, practiced martial arts, Xu Jingzong didn't sleep well, I had no choice but to practice martial arts with everyone.Gradually, I don't know how much Xu Jingzong's kung fu has improved. Anyway, he seldom actually fights, but with his muscles and tendons, he can be compared to the bodybuilders of later generations.

Pei said: "Husband, it's time to get up, today is your first day as a new official."

Xu Jingzong nodded.

Mrs. Pei hurriedly held the neatly folded clothes and came to Xu Jingzong, first helped Xu Jingzong put on the jacket inside, and then put on Xu Jingzong's scarlet official uniform. After Xu Jingzong's round collar was finished, Xu Jingzong put on a soft-footed headband.

Three provinces, six ministries, nine monasteries and five supervisors, most of the people who can become a fifth-rank official are over 40 years old. However, Xu Jingzong achieved this position when he was just in his infancy. It seems that he will surpass his father Xu Shanxin in the future and rank above the fourth rank Not impossible.

Xu Jingzong also lamented that there are people in the court who are good at being officials.Historically, until the eighth year of Zhenguan, Xu Jingzong was still a secretary-supervisor's author, and he was just a junior official of the seventh rank.However, in this time and space, Xu Jingzong was promoted to the fifth rank Bibuzhong doctor in the sixth year of Wude.Back in Wagang, he and Wei Zheng served as Li Mi's secretary and joined the army. Unexpectedly, after many years, Li Mi had already turned into a pile of loess, and Xu Jingzong partnered with Wei Zheng again.

After washing up, Xu Jingzong had breakfast and went to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs by car to take a post. In fact, although Bibu Langzhong has great power, his rank is not high. Call on the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Justice before taking up his post.

The so-called holding a tiger skin as a banner, although you should be humble and peaceful when you get along with your colleagues, and abide by the rules, Xu Jingzong will naturally no longer stick to the old rules, and go directly to meet Qiu Xinggong, the right servant of the Ministry of punishment. General Qiu Shou's grandson, General Zuo Wuhou, Jizhou Inspector Qiu He's son, although he followed Li Shimin to fight in Qianshuiyuan and then Luoyang, but Xu Jingzong knew very well that Qiu Xinggong belonged to Princess Pingyang.

Qiu Xinggong, who was originally a doctor of Guanglu, was relocated to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment because of his harsh and ruthless official position. According to the old rules, when Xu Jingzong first entered an official position, he could not directly perform his duties in the Ministry of Justice. There is a process of apprenticeship and job evaluation, and the cycle can be long or short, as short as three to five months, and as long as one or two years, you may not be able to officially take office.

However, Qiu Xinggong saw that Xu Jingzong was holding Li Xiuning's red certificate, and with a big wave of his hand, he skipped the process of Xu Jingzong's apprenticeship and directly became a doctor in the palm.

With the official seal of Bibu, Xu Jingzong looked at the accounts sent by the various ministries. Because Xu Jingzong has been managing Chen Ying's outer court property these years, as well as making deliveries with Datang Tongli Bank, and following Chen Ying to learn the accounting methods of later generations, Xu Jingzong Jingzong only took a glance and found the problem in the account.

Xu Jingzong instructed Bibuzuo Shi Zhou Shide and Xun Zudao: "Take out these suspicious accounts!"

Zhou Shide was secretly surprised. He is an old official for many years, and he is very clear about the accounts audited by the Ministry of Bibu. The key is that Xu Jingzong can see the problematic accounts at a glance when he just took office. He is obviously an official who is proficient in auditing. Now, it will not be easy for them to do tricks in the future.

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

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

Xun Zuxin was surprised and said: "Corruption below ten wires (approximately equal to a penis) is ignored by low-ranking officials. If it is more than ten wires, it is enough to beheaded."

Changsun Wuji's face twitched.

Zhou Shide came in with a stack of documents and said, "Master, these are just handed in for reimbursement, are you allowed...

Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, get reimbursed first."

Xu Jingzong put the excerpts of these accounts into his sleeves, and then said: "What was done before, what will be done now, I will go to the East Palace first, and then come back later!"

……

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng saw the silk scroll that recorded corruption materials, and angrily jumped up against the table, swept the silk scroll down and jumped to the ground, pulling it for a long time.

Li Jiancheng pointed at the silk book and shouted: "Xu Jingzong, are you just like this? Just sit aside and watch those moths corrupt? Why don't you take this opportunity to rectify the government?"

Xu Jingzong retorted in a bitter tone: "This is not something His Royal Highness should take care of now. If you really want to take care of this matter, you should think about how to become emperor."

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

Xu Jingzong said: "As long as you become the emperor, you can manage these things however you want; if you don't want to be an emperor at all, you can't manage these things, you don't even have to think about them."

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

Xu Jingzong took the time to tidy up the ground and slowly put away the silk scroll.

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

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

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng's arrival and said angrily, "This Xu Jingzong has disappointed me so much!"

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

Li Jiancheng sighed helplessly, and said word by word: "Xu Jingzong went to the Ministry of Punishment to take office, and found a lot of corruption, at least more than ten coins, and beheaded immediately according to the law."

Wei Zheng nodded without answering.

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

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng, with the same smile on his face, and said lightly, "How do you say?"

Li Jiancheng stared and said angrily: "He said that the 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 talk about it first when I become emperor."

Li Jiancheng looked tangled, almost wailing: "But why wait later? Why can't we deal with it now?"

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

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng in puzzlement and said, "Xuancheng, tell me, tell me.

Wei Zheng pointed at Li Jiancheng and began to scold him, "Corruption is no longer an isolated phenomenon. How many officials are not corrupt? If His Highness punishes these corrupt criminals now, he will force them to the Qin Palace. .Once His Royal Highness fights corruption with great fanfare, these officials will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, and they will definitely try their best to pull the crown prince down from his position in the East Palace!"

"Pull it down, pull it down, I really don't want to be such an aggrieved prince?" Li Jiancheng said: "I and the prisoner, I swear to be incompatible, we will not live together!"

Wei Zheng continued to talk eloquently: "Do you think you can decide whether you want to be emperor or not? It doesn't matter at all what you think. The important thing is——Your Majesty wants you to be emperor, Mr. Xiao Chen, and you want to be emperor." You are the emperor, the generals of the Eastern Palace want you to be the emperor, Princess Pingyang, and General Chen also want you to be the emperor."

Li Jiancheng's face darkened slightly, and his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists unconsciously.

Wei Zhengdao: "King Qin doesn't want you to be emperor, but he thinks that he wants to be emperor; all the officials in the palace of King Qin think that King Qin is better than you at being emperor. Now, it doesn't really matter whether you want to be emperor or not. What's more, no matter how you choose, there will only be two completely different results."

Li Jiancheng asked eagerly, "What result?"

Wei Zheng stretched out a finger and raised it up: "One is that you become the emperor, and I, Wei Zheng, assist Mingjun, and we, the monarch and the ministers, work together to create a peaceful and prosperous world. One is..."

Wei Zheng paused, and stretched out another finger. In the next second, a smile appeared, and he said coldly and mercilessly: "You are dead, I am dead, His Royal Highness King Jing will die, the Crown Princess will die, Mr. Chen The general will die too, Princess Pingyang will die too, everyone will die..."

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

Wei Zheng said indifferently: "His Royal Highness, think about it, if it weren't for Du Fuwei's sudden attack, would you still be alive now? Now it is different from the past. In the past, the battle between our East Palace and Qin Palace was just a very ordinary political struggle. , now it's life and death, it's hard to coexist!"

Li Jiancheng fell into silence.

At this moment, Li Yuanji said excitedly: "Brother, I found out!"

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

"Who was that Guo Shaogang ordered!" Li Yuanji said with a cold smile: "Brother, you definitely can't think of who Guo Shaogang belongs to, right?"

With Li Jiancheng's identity and status, how could he know Guo Shaogang, a lowly official like Guo Shaogang.

Li Yuanji said: "Guo Shaogang is Du Fengju's father-in-law, and this Du Fengju is Du Ruhui's cousin in the Prince of Qin's residence, a romantic bastard that Du Yan left outside when he was young."

Wei Zheng asked anxiously, "Where is Du Fengju? Is he dead?"

Li Yuanji said: "How could I let him die, he is living well now, elder brother, let's take Du Fengju into the palace now, and let father give elder brother justice!"

Wei Zheng asked, "Du Fengju is too courageous, isn't it?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "This bastard has returned to the ancestor of the Du family, so someone made it a condition to join the Du family...he just..."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not convincing enough. A Du Fengju is too light. We must dig out the people behind him!"

……

The journey back to Beijing was boring. In order to relieve the boredom of Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen and other women, Chen Ying asked people to create mahjong for later generations, and 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 Yue'er made a table, and Xu Erniang, Shen Tian Hanyin, Hongxiu, and Lvzhu made another table.

Chen Ying and the others were playing mahjong while driving in a carriage, which relieved the boring journey.
