The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2116 Review
The next day, Dou Xiaoguo went to court as usual in the palace, and then returned to the Ministry of Rites to handle errands, but since listening to what the old man said at the old man's house yesterday, Dou Xiaoguo has hidden things in his heart.

In the Ministry of Rites, Dou Xiaoguo is full of worries, because he has to inquire about the specific information about the list. If Wang Shouli had contacts with the Langya Wang family before, as his father-in-law said, then Wang Shouli's daughter should not appear in the list. top up.

But it just happened, and I haven't seen any problems yet. Now that the roster has been handed in like this, this is an unchangeable fact. Therefore, Dou Xiaoguo has to figure it out even more to prevent future troubles.

"grown ups."

Dou Xiaoguo all went into the government office study of the Ministry of Rites, and the little officials outside the study saluted him.

"Transfer me the roster of girls in Chang'an City's waiting room and related files collected by the Ministry of Rites earlier. In addition, give me a list of officials who investigated this matter." Dou Xiaoguo said.

"Yes." The little official answered with cupped hands.

Although this matter has passed, but what the boss needs, he can just do it.

Dou Xiaoguo intends to re-read the list, along with the list of officials who handled this matter. As for the relationship between those officials and the families behind the girls on the list, you can also review them one by one.

From the records in the dossier, we can definitely find clues.

Dou Xiaoguo did not investigate the matter of Wang Shouli's house. If something happened, Dou Xiaoguo would also be responsible. Who made him the servant of the Ministry of Rites and the boss of these small officials?
His responsibility is lax censorship.

I hope that this matter will not cause any waves, this is the result Dou Xiaoguo wants most.

As for whether Wang Shouli's daughter can become Princess E, it is not important.

Even if His Majesty did not choose Wang Yufan, there would still be girls from other families who would become Princess E. As for those girls who were not selected and could not enter the palace, they could still find another suitable husband and marry off like girls from ordinary families.

The people below didn't have much effort to do things, and the news that Dou Xiaoguo also checked the list and files spread in the Ministry of Rites.

"My lord, Lord Shangshu said to let you go over there." The little official walked into Dou Xiaoguo's study and said.

"Okay, I see, I'll go there now." Dou Xiaoguo responded.

He also expected that Shang Shu would look for him, so he didn't feel a little bit worried.

If there is a problem with the list, the Shangshu's responsibility is greater than that of his servant. Although the list was sent by Dou Xiaoguo to the palace and sent to the emperor, the Shangshu has also reviewed and reviewed this list. After all, it is related to the prince's marriage. , not sloppy.

If he was really convicted because of the list, the Minister of Rites would bear the brunt.

It's the same principle as Dou Xiaoguo's person in charge, the Minister of Rites, the entire Ministry of Rites is in public, the person with the highest official position, he is the leader, if something goes wrong, who will be responsible if he is not responsible?

Moreover, he has no place to shirk it, to the two servants?
Who would dare to become an official if it was pushed down step by step like this?As soon as he became an official, he became a scapegoat for others.

After Dou Xiaoguo packed up the files on the desk, he went to Shangshu's study.

"The lower official has met Lord Shangshu."

"Xiaoguo, you are welcome. You have been in the Ministry of Rites for so many days, and you have personally handled the selection of the concubine for King E Li Jue. How is it? How do you feel in the Ministry of Rites?" Shang Shu looked at Dou Xiaoguo. , asked with a smile.

"Everything is fine." Dou Xiaoguo said: "Colleagues in the Ministry of Rites, in normal times, often help subordinate officials to do things in the Ministry of Rites."

Shang Shu said cheerfully: "That's their responsibility. By the way, I heard from the people below that you are looking up about the roster now? What? Hasn't the roster been successfully submitted? Is there any question? ?”

Dou Xiaoguo shook his head: "It's not a big problem. The officials feel that it is necessary to take another look."

"It's okay, if you have any questions, you can speak directly to the official." The Minister of Rites said.

Looking at Dou Xiaoguo's expression, anyone with a discerning eye would know that something is wrong.

Although Dou Xiaoguo was suddenly arranged by His Majesty to the Ministry of Rites, but after all, he is the young master from the Dou family, and there is a shadow of the Dou family behind his every move.

Moreover, Dou Xiaoguo was engaged to the eldest lady of the Xuan family before, but she will be the son-in-law of the Xuan family in the future.

If it is said that the current influence of the Dou family in the court has been greatly weakened, but the Xuan family has not.

The Duke of Qi from the Xuan family, if there is any movement from him, there will be some storms in the court, but don't look at the Duke of Qi not going to court, once he goes to court, something will happen.

Didn't he go to court a few days ago?After retiring from the court, he went to the Xuanzheng Hall and talked with His Majesty for a long time, and then the Xuanzheng Hall announced that he would choose a concubine for King E Li Jue, so that the Ministry of Rites had a good job.

Chang'an City is not small, it can accommodate millions of people.

But it's not that big, it's just such a city, if there is some news, it can be spread all over the city within a long time.

Moreover, Duke Qi's post yesterday was sent directly to the Ministry of Rites. Last night, Dou Xiaoguo must have gone to see Duke Qi.

The person I met last night, today Dou Xiaoguo went to the Ministry of Rites to check the list again.

The Minister of Rites had already guessed in his heart that there was probably something wrong with the list. Qi Guogong and Dou Xiaoguo both wanted to investigate quietly.

But this is also a matter of the Ministry of Rites. If he doesn't know in his heart, he will feel very uncomfortable.

"My lord has also looked at the roster, did you see anything different in the roster?" Dou Xiaoguo asked.

It's a good thing that Master Shangshu knows about this, at least, if he wants to do something in the Ministry of Rites, he will definitely not be able to get around this boss.

"I don't see any difference, Xiaoguo, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it," said the Minister of Rites.

"My lord, do you know Wang Shouli, the doctor of Guozi?" Dou Xiaoguo said: "Wang Shouli's daughter, Wang Kaifan, is also on the list."

"Wang Shouli's daughter? Is there something wrong with her?" asked the Minister of Rites.

Regarding the family background of these girls, he only had a rough idea, and the people below would be done after they found out. As long as the family background was clean and the date of birth was correct, they could submit it to His Majesty for His Majesty's viewing.

"Miss Wang Yufan has nothing wrong with herself. The problem lies with her father, who is Wang Shouli." Dou Xiaoguo said.

As he said that, Dou Xiaoguo looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he said: "Your Excellency, you know that Wang Shouli had a close relationship with the Wang family before."
