Jinyi Night Walk

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Ru Yu naturally knew that Sister Yang was a person who was looming behind the ups and downs in the court a few days ago, and now that the emperor personally ordered her, she dared not neglect her." After entering the hall, he asked the guard at the door softly about Yang Xu.

Not far away, Xia Xun was fully dressed and was telling a story to Princess Baoqing, I don't know what he was talking about." Even the pretty girl about ten years old next to her was listening with gusto.

As soon as the guard pointed out, Ru Yuan knew that this person was Yang Xu.This person was supported by the Zhongshan Palace and favored by the emperor in the civil and military disputes a few days ago, and was appreciated by the emperor in the north-south competition.

Ru Yu speculates that this person must be extremely favored by the emperor, and he and the little princess are also very familiar with each other. "The punishment just now was clearly for playing with the princess." Ru Yu couldn't figure out how deep Yang Xu's background was, but He didn't dare to treat him like an ordinary military officer.He stood still and raised his voice and said, "You are Yang Xu? I have ordered you to go to Shandong Mansion on business according to the emperor's decree." Follow me. "

Xia Xun was surprised, "but it was inconvenient to ask" and hurriedly ended the story of the grandson Wukong making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Xu Minger led the reluctant Princess Baoqing away. Princess Baoqing hadn't heard enough, and her heart was itchy. Difficult to scratch, thinking all the way about the Dinghaishen Needle, which can be thick or thin, long or short, and weighs [-] jins, I wanted to get a stick and dance it around.

Xia Xun rushed to Ru Yu in a hurry, Master Ru smiled slightly, and said kindly: "I am ordering you to go to Shandong Mansion for a few days. Let's go" I will make arrangements for you. ", as soon as Xia Xun heard it, he knew that Xu Ming'er had helped him a lot, and looked back." Xu Ming'er was coordinating with little princess Baoqing, gesticulating with her hand, while turning her head to look at him.

Xia Xun stood still and "bowed to her from a distance" and saluted very solemnly.The little princess pursed her lips and smiled, then turned her head away.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment told him to rest at home due to illness, and now Bao Zhao, the servant, presides over the daily affairs of the Ministry of Punishment.Although the Ministry of Rites is the head of the six departments in name, the Ministry of Officials is actually the number one among the six departments. "As soon as I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came to Guangdong in person, Bao Zhao didn't know what happened." He quickly dressed up and greeted him in person.

He welcomed Ru Yu into the living room politely, served hot tea, and listened carefully to the purpose of his visit." It was actually arranging the future of a small eighth-rank royal swordsman, and he felt a little dazed. He thought for a while, then He tentatively said: "Hey, Lord Ru... is this Yang Xu...is it his... a younger relative?"

Ru Yu hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Hey, Mr. Bao, don't make wild guesses. I have no relationship with that Yang Xu, and there is no reason for him. He..."

Ru Yu pointed to the sky, and said mysteriously: "The emperor personally ordered it down." Do you think I can't come? "

When Bao Zhao heard this, his heart skipped a beat: "The transfer of a mere eighth-rank official" still requires the emperor to personally order the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to personally send the person to him? Why is he here, and how should he be arranged? Is it in line with the emperor's wishes?" Bao Zhao carefully asked for advice, and Ru Yu said: "I don't know what this person is, honestly." The emperor's tone was to send him to work in the Shandong mansion. What are you going to do? "We don't need to inquire. In my opinion, arrange a proper status for him, let him go smoothly and leave."

Just because it was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, the temporary transfer of an eighth-rank official made the two first-rank and powerful adults feel uneasy.Zhu Yuanzhang was just because Ru Yu happened to be by his side, and he was also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials." This kind of transfer across yamen and cross-industry must go through him, so he simply ordered him directly.

As a result, Ru Xun is like the examiner in "Three Levels in a Row", the examinee sent by Jiu Qiantui himself, saying that he is not a relative of Jiu Qiantui, do you believe it?Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he only asked Yang Xu to go to Shandong Mansion for a temporary business, and he would be transferred back to the vanguard of the army after returning to Beijing. Otherwise, Yang Xu would become Zhang Haogu's second, and he might be arranged by Ru Yu and Bao Zhao. Go to a place that is both dignified and leisurely to retire in the old age.

Both Bao Zhao and Ru Yu are honest and capable officials, and they usually admire each other and are congenial." The friendship is good, but this matter was ordered by the emperor himself, and the two of them abandoned their relationship, so they started to study together.

Bao Zhao said embarrassingly: "Our Ministry of Criminal Affairs is in charge of the criminal administration of the world" to review and implement laws and regulations, and to convict cases" to manage prisoners. There are thirteen clean-up departments under it, each in charge of the criminal administration of a province. Generally, the local generals file and punish prisoners. Escort to the capital, and retrial by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Only when a major case occurs in the local area, and the involvement is too heavy, and it is not appropriate to transfer the case to the capital, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will send people there to send errands to the local area on their own initiative, but it is rare. "Give him some errands." Is it suitable? ", Ru Yu pondered and said: "I heard that because of the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi this time, your Criminal Department has sent personnel to inspect and arrest bandits in [-] provinces?" Bao Zhao said: "It is true, but everyone has already left , the dispatches of each division are led by the member of each division, Wailang, who is an official from the fifth rank, this Yang Xu... I am afraid that he is not qualified, if he is only allowed to be a follower, the emperor will not look good. "

Bao Zhao thought for a while, then suddenly had an idea, and said, "The emperor has not appointed our Ministry of Criminal Affairs to handle it, my lord, how about letting him go to Shandong under the guise of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? The Metropolitan Procuratorate has a supervisory envoy According to the local patrol inspection system, it is the most suitable." When Ru Xun heard Mao Sai, she raised her thumb and said, "Gentleman, good method.

Then the official will not delay, and I will go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. "

Bao Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up to see him off, and Ru Yuan rushed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate excitedly.

Ru Yu used to be the deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was easier to talk there than in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. When he went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to explain the situation, the imperial envoy Wu Youdao, Mr. Wu immediately smiled and said, "Brother Liangyu came here in person for this matter." Tell me, how about sending him a patrol envoy?

Ru Yu had worked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so she naturally understood the terminology he was talking about.The Metropolitan Procuratorate can send personnel to the local area for official business "according to the responsibilities of inspecting the local area", it is divided into two types: special envoys and patrol envoys.

The special envoys are appointed by full-time supervisory officials, who supervise ten kinds of powers respectively. One is to check the army; the other is to supervise the school; the third is to inspect the salt affairs; Inspection and defense: the seventh is supervising the collection and transportation; the eighth is checking the army and horses; the ninth is garrisoning the fields;

On the other hand, the patrolling imperial envoys do not have a clear monitoring target. For example, they can inspect everything from official administration, criminal names, money and grain, public security, archives, schools, farming and mulberry, water conservancy, customs and private affairs.Make decisions on big things, and make decisions on small things.The emperor will make a ruling on the impeachment of the fifth rank and above, and those below the sixth rank who are greedy and cool can be questioned immediately.When encountering military problems, the inspectors have the right to participate in the counseling; when there are "thieves" in the local area, "the inspectors have the right to order confiscation and suppression. Praise good people" cut off the stupid, correct the customs, and revitalize the discipline. There is no avoidance of direct investigation.

Therefore, the imperial envoys have great power and are free to act.What's even better is that these imperial envoys are similar to those in the six divisions. Although they have great power, their official positions are not high. The highest supervisory envoys are only seventh-rank officials. capable of this job.

Ru Yu was overjoyed at first, thought it was inappropriate, and said: "For the first time as an imperial envoy, you can only go on short missions when you are an imperial envoy, and you can only take a small mission when you pass the examination, and then you can be a special mission after passing the examination. Breaking the rules? This is a hunting tour on behalf of the Son of Heaven."

Wu Youdao smiled slightly, and said, "What's so difficult about it? Send a patrol envoy who doesn't care about anything and let Yang Xu be his deputy. As an interview envoy, he can actually make his own decisions? Hehe, the rules are determined by man." Yes, can a living person be suffocated by urine?"

Ru Yu was overjoyed when she heard the words, she laughed and said, "You have the way, you really have the way, hahaha..."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xia Xun didn't even know where the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate opened, so he somehow got a job in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and got a job as an interview envoy. Three days later, he would go to Shandong with the Royal Envoy Huang Zhenhuang.It's just that Mr. Ru and Mr. Wu thought that he was on a mission under the emperor's secret order and allowed him to be an interview envoy, but they didn't know that he was going to pick flowers according to the order.

Xia Xun muddleheadedly listened to Mrs. Ru's orders, then rushed home muddleheadedly, preparing to pack up and go to work.This is really someone in the court who is easy to be an official, and others have a ten-year cold window, "thousands of troops and thousands of horses kill a top-ranked Jinshi." After a few more years, it is hard to get a position in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I don't know how many years it will take. The fat job of the imperial envoy" Xia Xun got it by accident.

When Xia Xun returned home, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Di is not sensible, but Guan Xiao is different. Hearing that the young master ran to ask the emperor for leave, he was so scared that he didn't eat breakfast and lunch. Finally, he saw the young master came back." , a heart just dropped.

Ximen Qing was waiting at Yang's house. He first went to see his sweetheart, Nan Feifei, whom he had been thinking about day and night, and had a lingering intimacy with him. Then he reluctantly said goodbye and came to see Xia Xun. Unexpectedly, he rushed to his house. empty.

It just so happened that Xie Luchan was here, and Ximenqing was not too lonely. [Chinese] traditional Chinese painting is about implication, and Xie Luchan's paintings tend to be realistic, which is considered inferior and has always been unpopular.Ximenqing is not good at literature, he is just a half-literate man, he has a lot of research on medical books, but he has limited knowledge on calligraphy and painting, and he admired such lifelike paintings "on the contrary.

Xie Luchan immediately introduced him as a confidant." The talk was very speculative, so although the male master of the Yang family was not there, Xie Luchan was with him, and the two drank and chatted happily.

When Xia Xun came back, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Ximen Qing had arrived at his home, and hurriedly set up a banquet to welcome him again." Because in front of Xie Luchan, Xia Xun couldn't talk about going back to Qingzhou to find Peng Ziqi. After the banquet, Xie Luchan went back to his room to continue painting, and Xia Xun brought Ximen Qing to the small study.

After hearing Xia Xun's words, Ximen Qing said in surprise: "It's such a coincidence, I just came here, are you leaving?" You may not come back yet. By the way, what is the purpose of your visit this time, are you really here to buy medicinal materials? "

Ximen Qing became nervous, and hurriedly said, "Of course not, it's just an excuse to meet Feifei.

Brother, do you think women become very clever when they encounter this kind of thing? I think... I think I made a good excuse, but when I went out, Xiaodong wanted to speak and then Stop, that look in my eyes makes me feel weak, "I can't eat or sleep well, I always feel...she seems to have discovered something?I didn't give a shit. "

Xia Xun was dumbfounded for a long time, and slowly asked: "Brother Ximen, the way to do business is to sell expensive and buy cheap?" Ximen Qing said blankly: "Nonsense, otherwise you can do business."

Xia Xun said: "Then... do you think that the medicinal materials in this place under the feet of the emperor, the imperial capital of a country... will be cheaper than Yanggu County?" ","Snapped! "

Ximen Qing slapped himself hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I finally know where the problem is!"! ~!
