Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1007 parted ways

  Under the door of Zhongshu, the fifth room of Zhengshitang.

  The officials behind the hall were busy, and some people got together and couldn't help discussing in the midst of their busy schedule.

   "Hou Junji seems to have failed this time."

   "That's for sure. If such a big incident happened, the saint didn't send troops to Longyou to take him back to Beijing for interrogation."

  Someone immediately said, "It's all because of the front-line war, otherwise Hou Junji's meritorious service, even if he is the former minister of the hidden mansion, Jingluan, can't stand up to this heinous crime. Bewitching the prince, beheading is not wrong!"

  Although the officials behind the five rooms of the Zhengshitang are all officials without rank and rank, they are not ordinary officials as officials in the central yamen of the imperial court, they are the top officials in the world.

  The post-officials of each of the five houses are of high grade and very clear. And the non-ranked officials in the five rooms are also very important. Anyway, those who can enter the fifth room of the Zhengshitang are all officials transferred from the six departments of the three provinces. At the very least, it is a county lieutenant's head book, and their hall officials can even let a second state assistant, or even a governor of Xiazhou in a remote frontier state.

It is precisely because of the importance of the political affairs hall that the prospects of the officials behind the hall are very good, so in recent years, it is not only the cadres in the three provinces, six departments, and one hundred divisions who have been able to enter, but generally they are from good backgrounds, not five surnames and seven surnames in Shandong. family, it must be the six surnames of Guanzhong, no matter how bad it is, it must be at least one of the gentry who has been born for more than a hundred years, or the imperial examination Mingjing and Jinshi since Wude of the Tang Dynasty.

   These people are basically relatively young. Compared with the old officials in other yamen, these young officials can actually be regarded as charming, and all of them have a bright future.

Although he is still just an official in the political affairs hall, he has no rank and no rank, but he usually deals with other yamen, even those green-robed officials of the eighth or ninth rank should respect them very much. As for the officials from other places, Not to mention the green-robed officials of the sixth and seventh ranks, and even the scarlet-robed officials of the fourth and fifth ranks, they were very polite to them.

  They usually have access to the latest political news and personnel transfers, and they are also used to chatting, commenting, and giving pointers.

  The government affairs hall meeting just ended, and they knew the result immediately.

   Regarding the results of today's Zhengshitang meeting, everyone had their own opinions and comments, but regarding Hou Junji, they all agreed that this guy was finally out of luck.

Although the emperor himself said that he could not change generals in battle, he only said that it was not good for the military, not anything else, and the emperor immediately changed Hou Junji's chief executive into one of the seven generals, and Chai Shao went to serve as the chief historian , Zhang Liang became Sima, and Qin Taibao led the deputy marshal, Hou Junji was nothing.

   As soon as Chai Shao arrives, he can only obediently surrender his military power.

   There may not be time to deal with him during the war, but when the battle is over, it will definitely be settled after the fall. Everyone thinks that the crown prince went to Longyou, and he must have been bewitched by Hou Junji.

Although some officials in the court think that it may not be because of Hou Junji's bewitching, after all, they are very aware of the changes of His Highness the Crown Prince in the past two years, but regardless of the truth of this matter, in the end there must be someone responsible for it, Shehou Who is the king?

   "It's really unexpected to let Chai Shao go to command the army. There are so many generals in Longyou, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Wanche and others are all there, but Chai Shao was transferred from Luoyang. Why not transfer Wei Gong?"

Back then, Qin Lang conquered Dangxiang first and then Tuyuhun with only one army from Longyou. At that time, Dangxiang and Tuyuhun were not the dead horses they are today, but in their heyday. Qin Lang had gained a great reputation in Qinghai. The number of Tuyuhun's army killed was less than 100,000. It is said that the bones of the dead are still exposed in the Yematai area of ​​the Yellow River, and bones can often be rushed out of the Yellow River.

  At the beginning when he moved to Qinghai for thousands of miles, he set up heads of all sizes to watch hundreds of seats, and now they are all standing there, no one from Tuyuhun dared to move.

  Based on Qin Lang's prestige, as soon as he arrived in Qinghai, it is estimated that half of Tuyuhun dropped down.

   "Duke Wei is guarding the southern border. Now he has just quelled the rebellion in Dongcuan in Yunnan, and he has defeated the Heman. He is still preaching and comforting the barbarians. How can he go to Longyou again?"

"I see, Duke Wei may not be willing to go. Mr. Wei stayed in Beijing for a few months before prosecuting the school's order. Why did Mr. Wei insist on going south?" A court official from Jingzhao Wei's family background said softly , "It has been rumored outside that Duke Wei and the prince had a falling out."

   "It shouldn't be so. After all, Duke Wei has assisted the crown prince for ten years. This is an unusual relationship between a teacher and a friend."

   "That was in the past. Anyway, I heard that before Wei Gong went south this time, the prince no longer called Wei Gong a teacher, and Saburo didn't even call him a word. He always called Qin Wei Gong or Qin Xianggong, and his identity was taken."

  Some people just laughed, insinuating that the prince was fooling around, and Qin Lang, who was supported by such a powerful minister, actually took the initiative to push it out. Let's see how the king of Wei and the king of Wu win people over?

  Things that are born with you, but you don’t know how to cherish them, but those two are extremely eager to pursue them.

   "You said that this seven-way army crusade can be won?"

An older official at the back of the hall straightened the official document in his hand, "It is inevitable to win. Today's Tuyuhun is not the same as before. He was beaten to death by Duke Wei long ago. Now he dares to jump out. Isn't that true?" Are you looking for death? This time, they just happened to be wiped out in one fell swoop." He straightened his brocade robe and sable fur, and lowered his voice, "The key is what will happen to that one when he returns after this battle is over."

"What can I do? You are young after all. A sage will understand. This is a ten-year prince. Pushe, Changsun Linggong, etc., as well as a large group of strong supporters such as Ma Xianggong, Xu Xianggong, Li Xianggong, Qin Xianggong, etc., are still unshakable for the time being.”

   "If you are afraid, you are afraid, so you have no fear, you don't know how to repent, and you will get worse in the future."

   "Okay, don't talk nonsense!" One person saw Xu Jingzong, the assistant secretary of the school, coming from a distance, and hurriedly reminded everyone to shut up.

  Xu Jingzong came over, greeted the children of these famous families with a smile, then went over, and returned to his public room, immediately put away his smiling face.

  He sat in front of the fireplace, drinking tea and looking at the public house, feeling very proud.

Ten years ago, he had a bright future because he was a dragon, but because he was too young, he was too impetuous and frivolous just like the family members outside just now, and he said frivolous things that shouldn't be said on important occasions, which angered The sage was relegated and spent a period of unforgettable and very difficult days.

   Fortunately, hard work paid off, after ten years of hard work, he finally got up again.

   Not only returned to the court, but even successfully entered the school of Zhongshu, becoming a member of the prime minister, the inspector of Zhongshu, although there is an extra inspector, he is also ranked after Ma Zhou.

But Xu Jingzong was still very happy. When he was a bachelor in Qin Wangfu, Ma Zhou was only a teaching assistant in a state school in Hebei, and he was not a high-level official. When he was born, he was the magistrate of Chang'an County at that time, and he also served as the governor of Yongzhou for a short time.

Now Ma Zhoujie is a poor scholar, but he is superior to him, and he is able to specialize in secrets. If it was in the past, he would definitely be unconvinced and want to make trouble with Ma Zhou, but now, he is polite to Ma Zhou Respect is added.

   Ma Zhou had to meet a nobleman, have Qin Lang's help, and then be appreciated by a sage, in order to have his current status. Xu Jingzong used to rely on his family background, but later he fell into a big stumble, and he also relied on Qin Lang to get up.

  He will not be so impetuous and superficial now.

  Only young people like the prince and those from famous families outside can be so impetuous, and have never really experienced the dangers of the world.

  Hou Junji is also like this, he is the childhood friend of the sage, he is also the confidant of Qiandi, and he is the minister who made the first contribution to the change of Xuanwu Gate, but can he rely on this little old credit for a lifetime? Some things should not be touched, otherwise it will be the same as it is now.

Although he didn't hear what the officials were talking about just now, he could guess what they were talking about with his butt. It was nothing more than pointing the country and commenting on political affairs. .

  Hmph, a group of chickens.

   Duke Wei is still smart. He left the court early, and he also stayed away from the impetuous and frivolous prince Chengqian. He went to Lingnan to fight the barbarians.

   Recalling the emperor's lonely expression just now, Xu Jingzong smiled slightly.

  Looking at the emperor's appearance, he was actually quite disrespectful.

  My son is a hero, but my son is a bear. The emperor was wise in his first life, but now the prince is acting like this.

But the smile is all smiles, but Xu Jingzong has a keen judgment. He can feel that the more lonely the emperor is now, the more he loves the prince, and the love between father and son is still there, so no one can shake the prince's position as the crown prince. Yes, at least not now.

As for whether the crown prince would cause some big trouble in Longyou and make even bigger mistakes, he felt that it was unlikely. Although Hou Junji was stupid, he was not so stupid. He would definitely protect the crown prince. It is safe, and it can guarantee that the prince will not make any big mistakes that will ruin the teacher and humiliate the country.

  The prince is in Longyou, at most he has had a dry addiction in the army, experienced the feeling of being a general, or hunted or collected some beauties and other absurd things.

Looking up again at this public house, this public house was originally owned by Yang Shidao, who has served as a servant in the Zhengshitang, and also served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhongshuling, Youpushe, etc. .

Before today, there were even rumors in Luoyang that he might be appointed as Zhongshuling again or turn to Zuopushe, but who knew that in the end, he could only leave Zhongshu's sect sadly, without even keeping his position, and went to the cold side of Taichang Temple. The yamen became a lieutenant, in charge of idle errands such as music workshops.

   It was Xu Jingzong, who would have thought that he would be able to inspect the school and participate in the government affairs?

  I should write a letter to Qin Lang first, telling him the latest changes in the court, and thank Qin Lang for his support and help.

   Originally thought that in a few years, he would ask Qin Lang to help him win the Minister of the Ministry of Households or the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

   Just as he was proud, there was a knock on the door.

  Changsun Wuji came in.

   "The fact that you were prosecuting the secretary of the school was Qin Lang's strong recommendation to the sage, and he also asked me to say good things for you. Ma Zhou also said good things about you."

  Xu Jingzong immediately stood up and thanked him.

"You don't need to thank me, just remember Sanlang's favor. Since you have entered the Zhengshitang, we will be one from now on. I know Mr. Xu is also a smart person, so I will be more direct about some things. Now Sanlang Far away in southern Xinjiang, there is no way to help with matters in the court."

"Among the ministers in the current political affairs hall, Fang Xuanling has taken refuge in the King of Wei, Wang Yu is also from the Wei Party, Tang Jian is from the Wu Party, and Liu Ji is also from the Wei Party. It is not clear which side Wei Zheng belongs to for the time being, but be careful Hold on."

Changsun Wuji confessed to Xu Jingzong unreservedly when he came up, "Wang Yu is probably dying, so we can ignore it for now, but Fang Xuanling, Liu Ji, and Tang Jian, we must keep an eye on them. Especially Fang Xuanling, this guy is tricky and cunning, it's hard to deal with, you have a lot of tricks, so think of ways."

  Xu Jingzong was very surprised. Unexpectedly, Uncle Guo would not treat him as an outsider so directly, and confessed so directly.

   Not only unexpected, but also a little happy.

  Nowadays, the biggest princeling in the court is the princeling. In this political hall, the prince is the majority. If the eldest grandson Wuji treats him like this, then he will be stable in the political hall.

   "You think of a way for me, how to drive them all out of Zhengshitang!"
