He regularly entered the palace every day to preside over the memorial ceremony for the courtiers and married women to pay homage to the Queen Mother, and participated in a series of rituals that were so complicated that it made people's scalp numb. After seven days in a row, amid mourning and crying, the coffin of Queen Mother Zhu was finally delivered to Fengxian Hall.
After parking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Sending Zi Gong to the underground palace of the Imperial Tomb still requires Qin Tianjian to choose another auspicious day, and it will also take time to get to the Imperial Tomb, at least in the first half of next year.
During this period, Xie Yan and Luo Junyao also attended the funeral of Marquis Dingyang.
As for those people who died in Prince Mu's Mansion, the Regent's Mansion just sent someone to check on them, and neither Xie Yan nor Luo Junyao came personally.
Although people thought it was strange that so many people died in Prince Mu's Mansion overnight, no one thought too much about it. They just thought that Prince Mu's Mansion was unlucky and was broken into by those people from the world that night, causing huge casualties.
Because many people were arrested for Prince Ning's rebellion, the manpower in the court is very tight now. It has been closed for nearly a year, and the officials who can still work wish they could grow eight hands. Who still has the mood and courage?
Pursue these matters?
It’s better if it has nothing to do with yourself.
Everyone just hopes that there will be a few more talents next spring to make up for the lack of personnel in the DPRK.
After the morning session that morning, the people who came out of the political hall looked a little solemn and strange.
The matter with Prince Ning has not yet been completed, and people can no longer talk to each other in small groups, so they can only use their eyes to signal their close colleagues, and then go back and find a place to talk.
Naturally, there are also those who are consciously magnanimous and do not care about these things.
"Master Wei, stay, stay." Wei Changting, who was walking out of the palace, looked back at the officials who were chasing him, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "My lords, do you have any advice?"
Several adults hurriedly said: "Where is it... Mr. Wei, what do you think the regent is thinking? Why is this..."
Wei Changting said with a smile: "What's this? The affairs of the Yao family were not clear back then. Now that they have been found out, it is natural to tell the world and give an explanation to the government and the public."
"But, but..."
Wei Changting put his hand on the shoulder of the middle-aged official closest to him and said: "What's the point? Wasn't the Yao family's case an unsolved case back then? Wasn't it that it had been kept in the government and not closed? Now that the investigation has been completed, shouldn't there be one?
result?"
The middle-aged official frowned and said: "But it involves the imperial court and Prince Mu's palace... Old Prince Mu is the biological father of His Highness the Regent. And the reputation of the imperial court..." After all, it doesn't sound good to be exterminated, whether it is an individual or the imperial court.
Of course Wei Changting knew what these people were thinking. In the final analysis, family scandals should not be made public.
Since so many years have passed, let him go.
Wei Changting was delighted and said: "Then the Yao family is still the ancestral family of His Highness the Regent."
Several officials looked at each other, and one of them asked carefully: "What does the regent mean..."
Wei Changting sighed and said: "There are so many files and folders piled up in the Sansi Yamen. Where do you think they come from?"
"Oh, that's all." Several people immediately understood that the regent had made up his mind to tell the world about these things, so he stopped interfering.
They came to Wei Changting to inquire about Xie Yan's attitude. Now that the regent has the power, since he has made up his mind, who can stop him?
It had only been a few months since the regent returned to Beijing, but the situation in Shangyong was already turned upside down.
The four auxiliary ministers, Taifu Su is about to retire, Prince Ning and Prime Minister Ruan are seeking their own death and are still in jail. Now all the power in the court is in the hands of the regent...
What will happen in the future...it's hard to say.
"Master Wei, please stay." A guard came over in a hurry and bowed.
Wei Changting turned his head to look at the person coming, and the guard said: "Master Wei, the regent has invited you."
Wei Changting nodded, said goodbye to several adults, then turned around and headed towards the political hall.
Xie Yan now does not work in the Imperial Study Room, but chooses his office location in the east side hall of the Political Affairs Hall.
It is very close to the wardrooms of various ministries in the court. It is convenient for the ministers and ministers to see if they have anything to do. After the court meeting, you can go directly to the side hall to work.
Wei Changting stepped into Rudong Side Hall. Xie Yan was sitting behind the desk reviewing the excerpts. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and said: "The news from southern Xinjiang has come, let's take a look."
Wei Changting was a little surprised and raised his hand to catch the fold that Xie Yan threw over, "So fast?" How long has it been? The people sent out have probably not reached southern Xinjiang yet, right?
Xie Yan snorted lightly and said: "The Chief Secretary of Huaizhou has been keeping an eye on southern Xinjiang. As soon as he got the news, he immediately sent a letter to Shangyong. If we wait until we feel something is wrong to investigate, it will take at least a month.
information."
Wei Changting opened the folder and glanced at the date on it. Sure enough, it was already ten days ago.
It's a long way from southern Xinjiang to Shangyong, so it's very fast to get there in ten days.
After scanning the booklet at a glance, Wei Changting frowned slightly and looked a little solemn, "There are changes in several tribes in southern Xinjiang. The southern Xinjiang consolation envoy did not report it to the court. We only found out about this after the news came back from the official history of Huaizhou.
.”
Huaizhou is close to southern Xinjiang, but the administrative history of Huaizhou cannot control the affairs of southern Xinjiang.
The imperial court set up the Xuanwei Envoy Department in Southern Xinjiang, and the Xuanwei Envoy and the local tribal leaders in Southern Xinjiang jointly managed Southern Xinjiang. Of course, the leaders of each department made the final decision on specific matters.
The function of collecting information is to maintain stability.
Xie Yan was not impatient and said calmly: "Obviously this southern Xinjiang propaganda envoy is not very obedient, or he is unable to speak at all."
Wei Changting took a deep breath, "Is there going to be chaos in southern Xinjiang?"
"It's hard to say," Xie Yan said.
"Fortunately, we have just negotiated with the Qi people and got back the land in the southwest. Otherwise, if there is chaos in southern Xinjiang, the Qi people may take the opportunity to cause trouble." Wei Changting frowned and said: "Southern Xinjiang is a long way away.
We can’t find out what’s going on for a moment, do we have to send someone over?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xie Yan looked up at him, and Wei Changting immediately said warily: "I won't go, I'm busy now."
Changing from a dignified general to become a Minister of Household Affairs is already a headache. Seeing that he has just started to get used to it, Xie Yan can't even think of sending him back to lead the troops. He is not a brick, and he will just do whatever is missing!
Xie Yan said calmly: "You are thinking too much. If something happens in Southern Xinjiang, it will be useless for you to go." Although Wei Changting has some military exploits, he is too young and the folk customs in Southern Xinjiang are fierce and he cannot suppress him at all.
living.
"Then what do you think I mean?" Wei Changting asked.
Xie Yan said: "It's useless for you to go, but maybe the Marquis of Lingchuan can."
"My father?" Wei Changting opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but said: "Well, although my father has practiced martial arts, he has never been on the battlefield." He had previously asked his father to deal with the Royal Forest Army with Prince Ancheng.
Things have gone too far, and now he has to go all the way to southern Xinjiang, and his father will beat him to death!
Xie Yan said: "No one asked Lingchuan Hou to go to war."
"The mountains in southern Xinjiang are high and the roads are far away..." Wei Changting tried to persuade Xie Yan to choose someone else.
Xie Yan said: "Then you go."
Wei Changting immediately changed his mind and said seriously: "It is a matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. I will definitely convince my father to serve the court with all his heart."
Xie Yan snorted lightly and said calmly: "Several old princes and marquis are either very old or have been seriously injured in their early years. Marquis Lingchuan has not yet reached the age of destiny, so why have they been idle at home all these years?"
Wei Changting blinked his eyes and said: "This...how do I know? Maybe my father just doesn't want to work too hard? The Hou Mansion still has some meager income and annual salary, so it's okay as long as he doesn't starve to death?"
Xie Yan said: "The Marquis of Lingchuan is in his prime, and the court is hiring people. I went back and told the Marquis of Lingchuan, the Southern Xinjiang Xuan Comfort Envoy and the Yizhou Chief Secretary, to choose one."
Wei Changting sighed softly, "I will go back and tell you."
It is already foreseeable that he will soon face the day of separation from his parents again.
If his father went to work as an official, my mother would definitely be reluctant to go with him.
It’s so…good! He’s about to be forced into marriage by his mother and is too afraid to go home!
Wei Changting happily went home with two documents stamped with the regent's seal, and Xie Yan also got up and walked outside.
"Your Majesty."
"Go to Tianlao." Xie Yan said calmly.
"yes."
The prison was as quiet and solemn as ever. Luo Junyao sat leisurely at the square table and looked at Luo Jinyan who was busy writing not far away.
"Brother, are you planning to be transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate or Dali Temple?" Luo Jun asked, shaking his chin.
Luo Jinyan stopped writing and raised his head to look at her, "Why?"
Luo Junyao said: "You have been either in Tianlao or Sansi Yamen every day recently. Do you still remember the general of your own armed guard?"
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "I have to ask your husband about this. I go around Tianlao and Sansi Yamen every day, and I haven't seen him give me two salaries."
Yes, although Luo Jinyan is interrogating people every day these days, he still has a lot of errands in the army. Fortunately, Yu Mingqiu recovered quickly, and with him in charge of the Wuwei Army, Luo Jinyan had less to worry about.
Luo Junyao immediately stopped talking and gave him a sweet and innocent smile.
Luo Jinyan snorted softly, closed the file in his hand and said, "I go to Tianlao every day when I have something to do. What are you, the regent princess, doing here?"
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "I came here specifically to see you."
"Looking for me?" Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
Luo Junyao said: "Didn't I help you modify that crossbow a few days ago? A finished product has been made. Please come and take a look."
Luo Jinyan was a little surprised, "So fast? Why didn't you bring it over?" When his sister came over, she didn't bring anything.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "It's not convenient here. We need to find another place."
Luo Jinyan said: "Let's give it a few days. I don't have time now." He didn't think his sister could change anything extraordinary, and he was really busy these days.
Luo Junyao snorted in his heart and ignored it.
Anyway, she only made one piece. She wanted to give it to her father and Ayan first, so she wanted to show it to her father first!
"Okay, let's wait until brother is free. I'll go find dad first!" Thinking of taking action immediately, Luo Junyao decided to give his dad a surprise first.
Luo Jinyan didn't care. He nodded and said, "Go ahead. If you come to see me for anything in the future, just go home. Tianlao is not a good place. Don't always run here."
Luo Junyao made a face at him and was about to get up and walk out when he saw Xie Yan striding in from outside.
