After learning a lot of things from Lu Guangmu, Lu Zhaoer originally wanted to tell Lin Ji, but was ordered by Lu Guangmu to be grounded in the house and not allowed to go out.
In Lu Guangmu's words, this matter was not considered a secret. Fang Yunshan would naturally make it clear to Lin Ji, and it would not be her turn to report the matter.
Being supervised by his grandfather himself, Lu Zhaoer had no choice but to do anything.
...
In a blink of an eye, the night passed.
Last night, someone came to the General Office of the Supervisory Office, delivered the official uniform of a fourth-grade commander, and told Lin Ji to go to the General Office the next morning.
So early in the morning, Lin Ji put on his official robe for the first time in a long time, left the Lin Mansion, and went straight to the Chief Office of the Supervisor Tiansi.
When we arrived at Jiantiansi General Office, we were led by the office servants all the way and met Fang Yunshan.
"Your affairs in Tongtian Town have changed again." Fang Yunshan said straight to the point.
"What?"
Fang Yunshan took Lin Ji out and saw a sedan waiting at the door.
After sitting in the sedan, Fang Yunshan continued: "Originally, I thought that the Editorial Department would also understand it tacitly. They would handle this matter however they like, and it has nothing to do with the Supervisory Department."
When the conversation changed, Fang Yunshan's face turned a bit gloomy.
"But now there are people who are unwilling to let it go, so you will have some trouble later."
"What's the trouble?" Lin Ji asked quickly.
"Yesterday the Holy One issued a decree, and after today's morning court meeting, the three departments will review it."
The three-division joint trial refers to a case that is jointly tried by the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple.
Any case will only be tried by the three divisions if it is ordered by Emperor Pei personally, and the results of the trial will be sent to Emperor Pei as soon as possible.
"What will the three divisions review?" Lin Ji still didn't understand.
"The Case of Shen Hong."
"Shen Hong is already dead..." At the beginning of the words, Lin Ji suddenly realized something and said in disbelief, "You're not trying to judge me, right?"
Fang Yunshan said nothing and glanced sideways at Lin Ji.
it is more than words.
Lin Ji puzzled and said: "This is too ridiculous."
"Haha, aren't there enough ridiculous things in this world?" Fang Yunshan twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Anyway, you can go and answer the trial when the time comes. Speaking of which, I also want to see what those eunuchs will say."
...
The general office of Jian Tiansi is not far from the imperial palace.
Not long after, the sedan stopped.
Lin Ji followed Fang Yunshan out of the sedan chair and found that he had arrived at the main entrance of the palace.
Not far from them, there were several sedan chairs parked, but only the servants were waiting. I guess the master must have already entered the palace.
"Let's go, let's go in and wait." Fang Yunshan took Lin Ji into the palace, and the guards guarding the entrance didn't even stop him.
The journey was smooth, and Fang Yunshan didn't stop until he arrived outside the main hall of the morning dynasty.
Lin Ji followed Fang Yunshan and looked around.
This is his first time entering the palace.
Speaking of which, there is nothing praiseworthy about this palace. It's just that the place is a little bigger, the beams are a little higher, and there are a lot more rules.
In my previous life, I was used to watching movies and TV shows, so I had never seen the magnificence of the Forbidden City with my own eyes.
Now that he came to the palace of Da Qin, Lin Ji was a little disappointed.
In the main hall in front of him, there was a plaque with the word "Chang Hua" written on it. Lin Ji didn't pay attention to it at first, but unknowingly, he couldn't move his eyes away.
Fang Yunshan on the side noticed Lin Ji's situation and raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised.
I don't know how long it took.
When Lin Ji came to his senses, there were already waiting officials in court uniforms standing next to him.
"Are you awake?" Fang Yunshan's voice sounded.
Lin Ji quickly apologized and asked again: "Master Fang, that plaque..."
"It was written by the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the head of the Qin family thousands of years ago...the one who tricked the evil Buddha."
Lin Ji was a little confused at first, but after hearing Fang Yunshan's explanation, he understood.
Fang Yunshan continued: "There is a Taoist rhyme on the plaque, and it is the Taoist rhyme of a strong Taoist realm... If a monk who has entered the Taoist realm can see the Taoism, it is not a big deal. You can see it just by taking a day trip.
, the boy is not bad.”
"Your Excellency, this is ridiculous."
"In addition, there are formations in the hall to protect you. After entering, those who are under the seventh realm will be suppressed a lot."
"What about the seventh realm?"
Fang Yunshan chuckled twice.
"Generally, the seventh realm does not go to court."
Lin Ji suddenly realized.
Having entered the Taoist realm, he is already a master-like figure and cannot be suppressed by formations.
In other words, if you want to set up a formation that can suppress the seventh realm, the cost is too high, so much that even the Qin Dynasty's thousand-year history is not willing to bear it.
After all, this is an unwarranted waste. There must be a seventh-level person in charge of the palace, and there must be more than one.
In this case, why waste materials on formations.
While thinking wildly, the officials behind suddenly gave way to a path.
Lin Ji looked over and found two old men coming side by side.
It was the two prime ministers of the current dynasty, Mu Hanfei and Luo Xuanyi.
When the officials present saw these two people, they all bowed and saluted, calling them Mu Xiang and Luo Xiang.
But the two prime ministers are completely different.
Mu Hanfei just nodded slightly, but did not look sideways. When he passed by Fang Yunshan, he cupped his hands towards Fang Yunshan, and then stood at the front.
Luo Xuanyi, on the other hand, was smiling all over his face and kept returning gifts. After not seeing each other for a year, he had long since overcome the haze of losing his daughter and his wife.
When he saw Lin Ji, he stopped in his tracks.
"Little friend Lin, long time no see."
"Luo Xiang." Lin Ji saluted, but Luo Xuanyi held his arm.
"Little friend Lin is Luo's benefactor, and Luo is not willing to accept this gift."
After a short pause, Luo Xuanyi said again: "This is not the place to talk. I heard that my little friend came to Beijing to take up a post. I must remember to come and walk around the house in the future."
"Definitely." Lin Ji quickly agreed.
Luo Xuanyi smiled with satisfaction, said hello to Fang Yunshan again, and then walked to the front.
At the same time, Fang Yunshan, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly said: "Just take what I said just now as a courtesy. Luo Xuanyi is not a simple person. It's better to have less contact with him."
Lin Ji nodded, he knew what he was doing.
Being able to be a prime minister naturally meant that he had an extraordinary status in the civil and military circles of the Manchu dynasty. He was not as simple as it seemed.
He didn't want to get acquainted with these people either.
After waiting for a while, the eunuch who had been guarding the door of Changhua Hall suddenly entered the hall and then walked out again.
"My lords, please." The eunuch made way.
"Just wait outside."
Lin Ji responded.
Fang Yunshan, on the other hand, took two quick steps and walked into the hall side by side with the two prime ministers.
Then, many officials filed in.
Just for a moment, Lin Ji was left alone outside Changhua Palace, which was originally quite lively, with a few guards and eunuchs for company.
With nothing to do, he found an unsmiling and motionless Ouchi guard.
It should be said that he is a guard with a sword in front of the emperor.
"Friend, do you earn much by working here? How much is your monthly salary?"
The guards ignored Lin Ji.
Lin Ji could only smile awkwardly as he pressed his hot face against his cold butt.
