In the eyes of everyone in the Han family, Zhao Ting'er's status will not be recognized. Everyone took advantage of the early hour to discuss who among the civil and military ministers of the dynasty was not involved with the crown prince or the second prince, and whose family status matched them.
One that is comparable to his Han family and complements each other.
Of course, Feng Liao was standing behind Han Daoxun today, and everyone was thinking that the Han family was about to reach its peak, so they had to prevent the Feng family's disaster from happening again.
Thinking of this, Han Daoming glanced at the Mingju Hall. In addition to his nephew, there were also Feng Liao and Zhao Kuo.
He turned around and subconsciously lowered his voice and asked Han Daoxun: "There are rumors that Your Majesty intends to make Han Jiashi take the post of governor of Xuzhou. Is this true?"
Although Xuzhou is in a corner, a place where Han and barbarians live together, and plagues spread everywhere, but which family is really going to be granted a title, the reward will be as heavy as that of a prince.
Even though there was such a statement before the feudal war, and such statement came directly from the palace, everyone at that time speculated that it was to calm the hearts of Han Daoxun, Han Qian and his son.
Because at that time, it was a very cost-effective deal for the imperial court to exchange Xuzhou for seven other states in Hunan Province.
However, it is difficult to say whether Emperor Tianyou will recognize such a promise if the war to reduce the vassal state proceeds so smoothly.
Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness, and Han Daoxun also feels that sometimes one should not have any inappropriate thoughts.
However, it has been a month since Han Daoxun arrived in Jinling to take up his post as Jing Zhaoyin. Logically speaking, the imperial court should have sent a new person to replace Han Daoxun as the governor of Xuzhou.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Han Daoxun also participated in the selection of several candidates by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and submitted them to His Majesty for his approval.
However, the memorials regarding the appointment of the new governor of Xuzhou were all sealed up in Liuzhong. As a result, Han Daoxun was still serving as the governor of Xuzhou at this time and was in charge of the military and political affairs of Xuzhou. Han Daoxun couldn't help but get a little excited in his mind.
Many official positions in Chenzhou are held by large native-born families. Xuzhou is more remote than Chenzhou, and the mixed situation of Han and Yi is more complicated. Strong figures are needed to stabilize the situation. From this point of view, the chief ministers are led by the Han family.
It’s not an unreasonable idea to have a job.
Han Daoxun smiled bitterly and said: "I have never heard of this, brother, don't let it be heard by hearsay."
Han Daoxun thought that his lifelong ambition was to defeat the powerful and strengthen the country, so that the world could end the war as soon as possible. Who would have thought that after the war, his father and son had tens of thousands of acres of land and dozens of craftsmanships to their name.
A powerful family with a courtyard workshop, 300 military units, more than 300 households of slaves, and thousands of servants.
Although Han Qian is in charge of all these matters, Han Daoxun also knows that there is no need for additional subsidies for the Longque Army. The dozens of craftsmanship workshops built in Xuzhou in the past few years can earn at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year.
Huge profits.
Han Daoxun didn't want to get too entangled in this kind of issue. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said goodbye to the old father and son, and left with Feng Liao, Zhao Kuo and others.
Surrounded by many guards led by Zhao Wuji and Zhao Kuo, Han Daoxun left the mansion in a car. The journey was muddy and calm. When he saw Lanting Alley in front, suddenly a warning sound came from the front. Zhao Wuji reined in the horse and signaled everyone on the left and right to protect the carriage and stop it.
Be careful and alert.
"What's wrong?" Han Daoxun opened the curtain and looked outside. At this time, two guards blocked the left and right sides with their bodies to prevent assassins holding bows and crossbows from hiding in the dark and coveting the place.
"There should be some unknown person blocking the way." Zhao Wuji reined in his horse and came over, and while sending people to check it out, he explained to Han Daoxun.
"Although it's night, there's no guarantee that the neighbors will go out for urgent matters at night, so don't make a fuss about it," Han Daoxun said.
"You should be careful." Feng Liao advised from the side.
Han Daoxun did not insist, and motioned to Zhao Wuji to go and see what was going on in front of him. Then he asked Feng Liao in a low voice through the car window: "How many things are you hiding from me?"
"What can Feng Liao dare to hide from your lord?" Feng Liao said.
"If there is nothing wrong, why is there such a fuss?" Han Daoxun glanced at Feng Liao dissatisfied and asked, how could he be so easy to deceive?
"When your Excellency takes office as Jing Zhaoyin, there are rumors all over the city that Your Majesty wants to abolish the direct lineage and replace him with a new one. The young master knows this, so he always has to be on the lookout for someone who will jump over the wall and attack the Lord." Feng Liao said calmly.
Han Daoxun sighed lightly, knowing that he could not control Feng Liao, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Go to the front and see what is going on?"
After Zhao Kuo rode his horse and disappeared into the night, a while later, accompanied by two scouts, he rushed back with a young boy less than twenty years old and reported to Han Daoxun: "Is this person blocking the street to complain?"
Zhao Wuji helplessly followed Zhao Kuo back.
Feng Liao looked at the boy Zhao Kuo had brought back with suspicion in his eyes. Seeing Han Daoxun about to get out of the car, he hurriedly persuaded him: "How can there be any reason to block the street in the middle of the night and complain? Sir, I think we should drive this guy away.
, just ask him to go to the government office tomorrow to hand over the petition."
Inheriting the old system of the previous dynasty, Han Daoxun, as Jingzhao Yin, not only had jurisdiction over the prisons and executions in Jinling City and the auxiliary counties, but also had the power to accept complaints from other states and counties. His authority in the area of punishments and prisons was the same as that of Dali Temple.
Yushitai and Xingbu are equivalent, and Jing Zhaoyin is usually called Xiao Xingbu.
If you have any local grievances and go to Jinling to complain, you usually submit the petition to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, but the petition is also submitted layer by layer, and it is impossible to hand it directly to Han Daoxun. As for the intention to break through the gate of the imperial city
, even if he is not hacked to death by a random blade, he will still be able to take off several layers of skin with a stick.
By the light from the angry wind lantern, Feng Liao saw the fear and determination on the young boy's face. Maybe he really had some grievances to express, but he knew that Han Mansion was in Lanting Lane, and it happened to be just when Han Daoxun returned from the night banquet at the mansion.
Blocking the street, he never believed that things would be simple.
Feng Liao then thought that it would be best if he detains the person first, finds out what is going on, and then hands it over to Han Daoxun.
"It's still early, so there's no problem in seeing what grievances he has to complain about first," Han Daoxun signaled Zhao Kuo to bring the boy to the car and asked, "Why did you block the street in the middle of the night? What do you want to complain about?"
"The villain Zhou Zhi was a young eunuch in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the young eunuch Shen He was alive, he once listened to the orders of the young eunuch Shen. Shen He went to Tanzhou to announce the decree, and after returning to the capital, he contracted a serious illness and died.
The Shang Medical Bureau diagnosed that Shaojian Shen unfortunately contracted the miasma in Tanzhou, but in fact Shaojian Shen became seriously unwell before leaving Beijing for Tanzhou. He was actually raped by a rapist and died of poisoning. The villain was blocking the street because of Shaojian Shen.
Complaints!" The boy lay down in front of the car, kowtowed, and shouted grievances.
Feng Liao could not suppress his inner shock and looked around, a chill running straight up from his tailbone:
He was the one who knew the details of Shen He's death best. Moreover, the two eunuchs who were waiting in front of Shen He when he died were both silenced by the people behind the scenes. Where did the person in front of him come from? ?
And how did this person named Zhou Zhi know that they were returning to Lanting Lane from the Han family mansion at this time?
Who is behind the scenes manipulating all this?
Feng Liao bit the bullet and said to Han Daoxun: "Listen to his empty talk. Even if Mr. Shen's death had a hidden secret, Jingzhao Mansion should not take over this case."
The Jingzhao Mansion has the power to receive complaints from states and counties other than Jinling, but there is another rule that Jingzhao Yin is arbitrary in small matters and makes decisions in major matters. In other words, when it comes to the case of a person at the level of a young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he died of illness. The Jingzhao Mansion still has to transfer the case, as it is not qualified to handle it.
Otherwise, Jingzhao Mansion would be a "super punishment department" instead of a "small punishment department".
Han Daoxun's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed as if he were pressed by a mountain. He looked at Feng Liao and asked in a serious tone: "Have you known for a long time that there was a hidden secret behind the death of Young Master Shen from the epidemic?"
Feng Liao was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Han Daoxun's eyes were covered with a shadow. Could it be that what Qian'er tried to cover up was the real cause of Shen He's death?
Han Daoxun ignored Feng Liao's advice and said directly to Zhou Zhi in front of the car: "Please hand over the petition first..." Even though this case was not under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, he could accept the petition.
Feng Liao's head was as big as a hemp, and he couldn't guess who was behind it for a moment, but thinking about the mystery surrounding Shen He's illness and death, especially if Han Daoxun lifted the lid, made his heart tingle. He knew what kind of waves this matter would cause, but he couldn't force Zhou Zhi, who claimed to be the eunuch of the Internal Servants Bureau, away from him!

…………
Deep in the alley opposite Lanting Alley, in the shadow where the moonlight cannot shine, there is a black carriage parked, like a ferocious beast squatting in the night, staring closely at the movement at the entrance of Lanting Alley opposite.
The light was dim and the distance was far away. Except for a little blurry light and shadow, it was impossible to see the situation at the entrance of Lanting Alley clearly. However, there was no loud noise, which showed that everything was going as planned.
Yin Peng, the governor of Chuzhou Hall, stood beside the carriage and saw Wang Wenqian sitting motionless in the carriage like a statue through the window. He seemed not to care what would happen if Zhou Zhi stopped Han Daoxun's carriage.
"Tanzhou should have reported to His Majesty secretly that Shen He died of poisoning, and His Majesty later transferred Han Daoxun to Jinling, which should be a response to this matter. Why did you go to such trouble to find Zhou Zhi?" Yin Peng was quite dissatisfied. Xie asked.
"Shen He died of poisoning, and Chen Xingmo took his place to serve in front of Chongwen Palace. It could only be behind the scenes of Anning Palace - if His Majesty is determined to make the third prince his heir, after transferring Han Daoxun to Jinling, there is no way that there will be no other people in the past month. Action - I suspect that Tanzhou did not secretly inform His Majesty about Shen He's poisoning, but deliberately spread false information to reassure us!" Wang Wenqian said calmly.
"Sir, are you saying that Mr. Ziheng's hidden secrets have been exposed?" Yin Peng asked in surprise.
"Whether Ziheng's hidden deeds are exposed or not, we will know if Han Daoxun will take the case." Wang Wenqian said.
"That's not right. The matter of Shen He's poisoning was concealed from the outside. Han Qian was planning it for the third prince from the beginning to the end. There is no reason for Han Daoxun not to know about it. Your Excellency went to such trouble to find Zhou Zhi to test Han Daoxun. Isn't it just a matter of chance?" Yin Peng was confused. asked.
"You still don't understand Han Daoxun's character. Han Daoxun and his son Han Qian are actually not from the same family. Do you think that Han Daoxun and the Han family have been strangers over the years, and he is just trying to show off his reputation to the world?"
Wang Wenqian glanced at Yin Peng under the weak light and said,
"If Han Qian really concealed Shen He's poisoning from the outside world as Ziheng's secret letter said and His Majesty Mizuo knew about it, then there is really no need for them to hide it from Han Daoxun; however, if Ziheng was deceived by Han Qian, Han Daoxun will probably be kept in the dark by Han Qian, and he doesn't know the details - tomorrow you will find a secret agent in Jingzhao Mansion, contact Zhou Zhi, and ask Han Daoxun how he reacted when he found out the truth about Shen He's death from poison, and things will almost be settled. Jiu Buli Shi has figured it out..."
"Why did they hide this from His Majesty? And if His Majesty didn't know about it, why did he transfer Han Daoxun back to the court?" Yin Peng was still puzzled.
"The reason they hid it from Your Majesty is very simple. They were afraid that Your Majesty would mobilize Chuzhou soldiers and horses to cross the river, and they had just finished a battle in Tanzhou, and the Longque Army had just expanded, and they were not ready for anything. Although the third prince is young, But the enthusiasm for the throne is much more urgent than you think," Wang Wenqian said. "As for why your Majesty transferred Han Daoxun to the court? I heard that Your Majesty has been feeling unwell recently, maybe he really wants to establish the third prince soon. Are you going to settle the matter for me?"
"Your Majesty is not feeling well. Could it be possible that someone from Anning Palace also tampered with you?" Yin Peng asked.
"First confirm whether His Majesty and Han Daoxun know about Shen He's poisoning. If they really don't know, the matter may be more complicated than we imagined!" Wang Wenqian said, "You have arranged the ship, and as soon as this is confirmed, I will Return to Chuzhou with Jun'er!"
Thinking of the huge waves that might be about to set off, and thinking of the terrifying murderous intention behind his back, Yin Peng felt a chill in his vest...
