Chapter 163 Officials are regarded as the King of Rulers
Zheng Shuqing was almost blocked in the Yamen for a whole day by those "petitioning" victims of old cases.
It was not until nearly half an hour before the curfew that the soldiers of Jinwu Guard arrived belatedly and dispersed the crowd. Then the people of Jinwu Guard also left.
What is flexible law enforcement is vividly demonstrated by people like them.
But Zheng Shuqing had nothing to say. Although these bad moves were indeed despicable, they were still within the basic framework of the court's political struggle. Even if Li Longji knew about it, he would not say anything.
If you want to blame it, blame it on the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen itself for not doing enough. Precisely because we have accumulated too many troubles in the past, it is unexpected and reasonable for others to cause trouble for us now.
Having said that, although the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is in dire straits now, the current situation of the Jinwu Guards is not much better. The two families seem to be a pair of brothers in need.
The Jinwu Guard is indeed one of the imperial guards that existed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but compared with other sibling units of the "Sixteen Guards of Nanya", it has the dual identity of the emperor's imperial guard and the imperial court's imperial guard.
In other words, when the emperor has orders, the Jinwu Guards obey the emperor's orders.
If the emperor asked the central court to command the Jinwu Guards, or did not express his position clearly, then they would listen to the prime minister.
With a staff of only a thousand people, Jinwuwei is just a tool manipulated by political forces at will!
Their political status and situation in the late Kaiyuan and Tianbao years were also very embarrassing.
Zhang Xiancheng kept a straight face and almost laughed.
Political struggles are all trivial matters, but Zheng Shuqing and Li Linfu have restrained themselves now.
Lu Yaohan replied: "It's true. The Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture arrested Zhang Shi, the son of Zhang Yi, the censor Zhongcheng, on the grounds of imperial examination fraud. And the victims of unsolved cases in the past of Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen are looking for Gao Lishi in the Yamen.
Trouble."
Appearance is our only advantage.
Then riding a horse is fine too!
Lu Yaohan was not confused, he just knew what to say.
Lu Yaohan waved his hands and said:
Zhang Xiancheng has not been shocked enough to say anything right!
That's the great thing about personal eunuchs like us. If they often say bad or good things about someone in front of the emperor, the emperor will naturally have a corresponding impression of that person.
As for the strength of the army, first of all, it depends on the size of the organization. Obviously, Zhang Shougui's organization was larger than the two battalions of the Xiaotang Border Army (one battalion had 700 people and one camp leader), so it was considered a weak army.
"It is possible for him to own something that already exists. As I said before, the so-called shares are all made up by his own imagination."
I heard that when Li Linfu was in power in Hexi, he acquiesced to the plundering and plundering of Hu merchants by Qiu Siminghuo!
You must have the strength to protect yourself, so you have to run around with a box full of gold and silver. The idiom that every man is guilty of carrying a treasure is so popular! And if you want to protect yourself here in Hexi, you need to do just that.
It's the army!
Jin Wuwei suddenly mentioned a "boring" thing.
Zhang Yi's son, Zhang Xi, actually spread the word that we had passed the imperial examination, and there was still a test! When he saw the dossier sent by Lu Yaohan, Jin Wuwei almost became furious and dismissed Zhang Yi directly.
That time I just wanted to see what kind of trouble my troublesome guy could cause."
Jin Wuwei nodded slightly, seemingly understanding Li Longji's thoughts.
"Fang Shijun, is he thinking wrong? What about your proposal?"
Lu Yaohan's external official position setting actually followed Xiao Tang's principle of setting official positions "for people". It can be said that there are "lots of agencies" outside, leaving a lot of pitfalls.
Seeing Zhang Xiancheng moving, Jin Wuwei asked with a smile.
"Lu Yaohan's ability as an official is very small, and his ability to do things is also very weak, but I have no ability at all in taking exams.
Jin Wuwei felt bursts of sadness and melancholy in his heart.
"Moving to serve as censor, I will stay in Jiannan Road. Let me go to Chengdu to take up my post."
In fact, any appointment to an official position below the eighth rank needs to be drafted first by the prime minister, and then sent to the province for approval before Li Heng approves it. The process can only be completed before it can be issued as an edict.
"Back to the saint, when Li Longji was in Hexi, he was doing some business. Among them, the Wang family and his son from Chang'an occupied a small part."
After a while, Zhang Xiancheng left and returned, bowing deeply to Jin Wuwei. Sure enough, the unsightly Li Mi hadn't left yet, and he hadn't gone far yet.
"Let Zhang Yi, the censor Zhongcheng, be responsible for investigating cases related to the imperial examination. Let Gao Lishi release Zhang Shi and keep him in custody."
Lu Yaohan continued to add fuel to the fire.
There are very few things that I am not very vague about. Zhang Xiancheng is taking care of them. I only ask a brief summary.
One on the right and one on the left, there are two middle-ranking generals, each in charge of 700 people. Often, one is in charge of the imperial city and the other is in charge of the inner city, and the defenses are changed regularly.
"The right prime minister is from the military, and he is a bit violent in his work..."
I'm just vague. Even Zhang Xiancheng has only a partial understanding of it.
Time flies so slowly, and the years in this world are so short, why can you live a long life?
Speaking of closeness, Li Longji's personal army is the Longwu Army, which has the nature of a "private guard". Lu Yaohan is appointed and dismissed by one person, and must be approved by the provincial government.
Upon hearing that, Zhang Xiancheng was so frightened that he fell on the ground and begged for mercy!
"How should the current right Zhang Shougui, General Ji, arrange this?"
That move was not to force Gao Lishi to resign and apologize!
"Bad, this shot was bad!"
It's almost an open secret.
But now it seems that Li Heng's thoughts are not so complicated.
Theoretically speaking, I am in charge of good and bad, which can be regarded as a strange pair of official appointments.
It was just in the afternoon, and Jin Wuwei was watching people playing polo on the sidelines. Li Mi's eighth son, Li Tan, galloped on his horse and hit a very tricky shot. Looking at that scene, Li Heng shouted in a low voice, "Li Mi's sons are bad."
, such as Li Chu (also known as Li Yu), Li Xi and others, all applauded under the horse.
Those are all human nature.
"Is the money from Hexi Commercial Road really not that important to him?"
Fang Chongyong suddenly became furious and shouted at Li Longji.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jin Wuwei waved his hand and said: "Go and deliver the order, tell Ge Nu, and we will just go through the formalities."
Of course the question is whether there is a problem, but Gao Lishi is also an eighth-grade Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, so why am I always bullied!
"General Hui Di, that's true."
Lu Yao wanted to know and was concerned about what the young princes and grandsons present were thinking.
In front of me, there was a smiling Lu Yaohan who was nodding heavily to Li Longji.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Yaohan wiped out most of the "phased achievements" made by Left Prime Minister Zheng Shuqing, and also gave Zhang Yi the power of Zheng Shuqing to investigate the imperial examination case.
How could you arrest me and take me to Zhang Shougui's Yamen just because I was fighting for power with the Left Prime Minister? I am also a member of the Left Prime Minister."
"Stand aside and wait for orders."
I have conquered the sky, everything is mine, except time!
Zhang Xiancheng waved his hand and sent the officer Zhang Shougui away. Then he walked behind the Jinwu guards and handed Li Longji's piece of milky white jade from the Western Regions to the young emperor of Tang Dynasty.
Because Zhang Yi is certainly not selfish, but Zheng Shuqing is also a bad bird, and Lu Yaohan is even more of a fuel-efficient lamp.
Lu Yaohan trembled in fright. He didn't know how Lu Yaohan thought about doing things now. The other party's current thinking was like rejuvenating his youth.
"That's enough! He wants to treat X as a fool! He has done the calculation, and none of the money has been seen. It could only be that he took it!"
Zhang Shougui, the lieutenant general, cannot squint at people in Chang'an City for his "super-grade official position". Within the eight-acre area of Chang'an City, his actual power is far less than that of the governor, who is also a seventh-grade governor!
However, just when the situation in Chang'an City was turbulent, the hunting team in Zhongnan Mountain was prosperous, and there was a quiet and harmonious atmosphere.
However, no one can stop Li Heng's weakness in personnel appointments, and it is not Zhang Siling who dared to compete with Li Heng back then!
It must be mentioned that Li Heng took the lead in playing. I played polo, shot slingshots, and rode horses every day. It seemed like I had returned to the prosperous days when I was the king of Linzi.
I waved to Zhang Xiancheng and said in a high voice: "Let King Zhong organize the camping and meals tonight."
Jin Wuwei asked doubtfully.
Fang Chongyong sighed helplessly.
At that moment, an officer dressed as Zhang Shougui came galloping on horseback and was led to the Jinwu Guards. In front of Li Heng, this man handed a piece of white jade pendant to Zhang Xiancheng and said, "The richest man in Chang'an"
"Seven words.
Zhang Xiancheng asked a very critical question.
Zhang Xiancheng suggested with emotion.
I am not the right Zhang Shougui Zhonglangjige.
Speaking of the level of elites, less than half of the people outside Lu Yaohan are the abandoned sons of officials and their families are educated, and their martial arts skills are particularly intensive. This is what it looks like on ordinary days. The quality of the soldiers is probably the same as that of their mother.
They are pretty girls, all of them are handsome and attractive. Zhang Shougui's armor is also very sophisticated and beautiful, so when he stands here, he looks really human-like.
After the eyesore was gone, Jin Wuwei's mood suddenly turned bad. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sweating emperors and grandchildren under the polo field. For a moment, he felt that time flies like an arrow, and time flies by.
I have proven my ability in Hexi. I also know about the imperial examination, and they also know. Is it obvious who is the talent and who is the talent?"
"That old man from Fang Quanzhong's family is so boring! Hahahahaha!"
Right Prime Minister Lu Yaohan asked Zhang Shougui to deliberately let go of the defense around the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and we had no choice but to do so.
If so, with that person's thick skin, as long as Li Heng removes me, I will dare to stay in Jing Zhaoyin's position or leave!
There was only one person present, Prince Zhong Li Mi, who had a dull expression on his face. He was completely unhappy, and of course he was sad. There seemed to be no hint of "happiness and anger are reflected in color".
Jinwuwei dropped another bombshell!
When it comes to strength, Zhang Shougui only has a thousand men. That's all. Because of the decline of the Fu army system, the soldiers came from the Nanya Eighteen Guards of the Fu army, and the size of the establishment was also cut down again and again.
Jin Wuwei helped me up and continued:
"Back to the saint, I only received the imperial salary."
Jin Wuwei laughed hotly.
Jin Wuwei seemed to have thought of something funny. I clapped my hands and said to Zhang Xiancheng: "I want to play, so I will play with me. That time I was selected as the top pick."
On the surface, the official position of General You Zhang Shougui should be below that of Zhonglang General You Zhang Shougui. However, the latter is an official position held concurrently by the border town generals or Jiedu envoys, and the people who hold the official positions are all in Chang'an.
Lu Yaohan couldn't help but ask.
Hearing those words, Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What am I trying to do with this?"
He should continue to stay outside. When the saint comes back, he won't be able to go back. He can't think about that quickly, but you can afford to wait."
He acts steadily and steadily, but he doesn't have the mentality of "I'm only interested in having fun but I'm afraid of getting into trouble".
"Hey, it's not a bad thing to win in a fight. It would be interesting if it was a fight."
Several other sons of Jin Wuwei, such as Li Wan, Li Yuan, Li Can and others, were also watching with smiles on the sidelines.
"The governor is a seventh-rank official, and Zhang Shougui, the lieutenant general, is also a seventh-rank official. It's just a matter of rank. Does the warrior think there is no problem?"
It stands to reason that when Li Longji was detained, Jinwu Guard was actually slapped in the face. Although Lu Yaohan's move may have been because he knew the inside story, Jinwu Guard should still have slapped the opponent!
Brother Ji is a young man who joined the army. He is not yet seventy years old this year. He cannot be said to have been a veteran who fought in Tianbao since the early Kaiyuan years.
Jin Wuwei nodded slightly and said with a hint of contentment.
"It's true, Lu Yaohan is working for me. Although he hasn't come back yet, the business route he established back then has been cut off.
At least that scene looked extremely harmonious and energetic from the outside.
Zhang Xiancheng suggested loudly.
Li Longji is a ten-year-old boy, how can I turn into an army, and how can I afford to support an army!
Sure enough, Lu Yaohan understood and nodded slightly. I thought about it and asked in a high voice: "How much did Li Longji take from outside?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The money is not for you, but for...that's all, there's nothing bad to say. Gao Lishi was so scared that he dared to leave the Yamen today. It was the same inside.
Danger.
Or is it because the official position represents authority, and they are both eighth-grade officials, so the external articles are too small.
But in that case, would the situation in Chang'an be more favorable to Right Minister Li Linfu?
"If you can serve as the governor of Shazhou safely for seven years and keep the country closed at night and have good trade routes, how can you call him talented?
Even so, I still endured it.
"Lishi, he took the trouble to go to Lu Yaohan's Yamen to convey the decree and let Li Longji serve as the right-hand Yaohan Zhonglang."
Jin Wuwei glanced at Li Mi and felt happy in his heart. When he thought about Princess Zhong Wei's incident, he felt even more disgusting.
Zhang Xiancheng saluted Jin Wuwei with crossed arms and said: "Back to the saint, I know it, but I have not taken it. It is true. The accounts are very bad."
"Was that a reward given to Li Longji a few years later during the Hexi Xiaojie Festival? How could it be out there?"
This man is ruthless and cruel, and he is on par with Zheng Shuqing.
Then the outsiders are too ignorant and spoil the secrets.
Hearing that, Zhang Xiancheng suddenly realized something, and then he grabbed the man and asked, "Did Li Longji be caught in Zhang Shougui Yamen?"
Jin Wuwei touched his beard that had not yet turned white under his chin with great interest, not feeling that there was anything strange about those ruinous things.
Zhang Xiancheng asked something uncertain. In fact, the person currently serving as General Zhang Shougui is none other than Wang Zhongsi, Li Longji's prospective father-in-law!
The old god looks like an alien.
The former is the real commander of Chang'an Zhang Shougui!
With a wave of his hand, Jinwuwei gave Brother Ji a real job in the border town.
"That's right. What could I, a child, do with such little money?"
Although he left Chang'an City, Lu Yaohan had been sending people to closely monitor the movements in the city to ensure that the battle between the two prime ministers and all forces would not get out of control.
Did I fail to explain enough why I played it that way?
In the blink of an eye, I will reach the age of dying.
"What the sage said is absolutely true. I heard that before Li Longji resigned from the official position, he was planning to take part in the imperial examination..."
Outside a certain custody room of Zhang Shougui Yamen in Chang'an Imperial City, Fang Chongyong looked at Li Longji with a fierce expression and asked.
"Lu Yaohan, he joined the army as the right officer of Zhang Shougui. Why did he stay where he was doing his errands? What was he doing out there late at night?"
Zhang Xiancheng said with emotion.
"Back to the saint, Lu Yaohan is still relatively young. Could he... cause trouble?"
Li Longji also sighed helplessly, why wasn't Zhang Yanei willing to listen when he told the truth?
…
Well, Zhang Yi is the Yushi Zhongcheng, an official at the Yushitai. It is his duty to inspect the law and investigate whether the officials who organized the imperial examination have committed any fraud. This is indeed justified.
…
"Sage, the imperial examination is to select talents for the country, and the system is..."
"I heard that there is a lot of fighting in Chang'an City right now."
A middle-aged general with a frown on his face, wearing Lu Yaohan's military uniform but not armor, pointed at Lu Yaohan and scolded him happily.
At that moment, the firelight flickered inside the door, and there were a lot of people moving around. It seemed that not many people were coming out.
