Not long after Fusu returned to Qiyang Palace, a young eunuch came with Emperor Qin's will.
I only heard the young eunuch opening the imperial edict and saying: "By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict, and now there is a young master named Fusu who is a virtuous and virtuous man who is dedicated to serving the country. I am very pleased and grant him the position of censor Zhongcheng. I hope he will encourage him and I admire him." "
Censor Zhongcheng Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly bowed to the imperial edict and said, "My dear father, thank you for your kindness." He then stepped forward and took the imperial edict.
There are four levels of censors in the Qin Empire. The highest level is the censor doctor, followed by the censor Zhongcheng, the next lowest is the censor censor, and the lowest is the censor censor.
Fusu originally thought that even if Emperor Qin agreed to his request, at most he would be given an official position as a censor, or even a supervisory censor.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Qin gave him a surprise and directly awarded him the official position of Zuo Er of Yushitai. Fusu looked in the direction of Yangxin Hall and couldn't help but think: It seems that the emperor still cares about me.
…
In Tingwei's Mansion, Lin Ze was checking some case files, which were all cases transferred from Chang'an Mansion.
Every once in a while, local governments will compile some judgment cases within their own jurisdiction into files and transfer them to the Tingwei Mansion, where the commanders in the corresponding jurisdiction will be responsible for approval.
However, Lin Ze watched for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason. Then he made a big move: "Come here, call Wu Fan over. I have something to ask him to do."
Soon the "Loyal Ma Chai" Wu Fan rushed over, saluted Lin Ze and said, "I have seen your Majesty, what are your instructions for calling me here?"
Lin Ze pointed to the files on the table and said, "These things give me a headache. Please help me deal with them."
Wu Fan looked at the file and said hesitantly: "Sir, only you have the right to review this. Your subordinates do not dare to act beyond their authority."
Lin Ze said indifferently: "If you don't tell me, who will know? It's okay, just move a table and handle it here, don't take it out."
Wu Fan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I obey my orders."
Lin Ze then continued to practice with peace of mind, while Wu Fan carefully reviewed the files.
Suddenly Hu Hai ran over quickly and gasped: "Lin Ze, something happened."
Lin Ze quickly poured a glass of water for Hu Hai and said, "Sir, don't be impatient. Take a drink of water first and speak slowly if you have anything to say."
Hu Hai stretched out his hand to take it and drank it down and said: "There is news from the palace that Fusu asked his father for the position of Yushi Zhongcheng. It is said that it is specially used to monitor you and me. I am afraid that you and I will be in constant trouble."
Lin Ze couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "His Majesty would actually agree to Fusu's appointment as Yushi Zhongcheng? Could it be that His Majesty felt that we had gone too far before and specifically used Fusu's hand to beat us?"
Hu Hai said from the side: "Lin Ze, don't think about anything else, just think about how to deal with it."
Lin Ze said calmly: "Master, don't panic. Your Majesty's intentions are unclear now, and those who come to help Su are not good at all. We can't mess up our position. It's best to wait and see what happens, and take advantage of the situation as we see it."
Hu Hai said blankly: "What do you mean, we don't do anything?"
Lin Ze nodded and replied: "We only need to restrain our subordinates and act cautiously. If we make too many mistakes, we will easily get caught."
Hu Hai looked at Lin Ze thoughtfully and said, "Well, as long as you know this, I will be able to sit back and relax as long as you are here." After saying that, he left with a relaxed look on his face.
After Hu Hai left, Lin Ze's expression immediately changed, and he said to Wu Fan who was still approving the dossier: "You don't have to do this for the time being. Go and call Ai Hui and Zhang Qianhu. I have something to explain."
Wu Fan put away the files in his hands, raised his hands to Lin Ze and said, "I obey," and left in a hurry.
A quarter of an hour later, Ai Hui and Zhang Qianhu arrived. They bowed to Lin Ze respectfully and said, "I pay my respects to you, sir."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, everyone. I have summoned everyone here today to tell you that during this period, everyone should be careful in their words and deeds to avoid being caught. As for arresting people, it can be delayed.
Slow down the picture."
Zhang Qianhu was the first to ask: "May I ask, sir, what exactly happened? Do you need to treat it with such caution?"
Lin Ze replied calmly: "It's not a big deal. Mr. Fusu is about to take up the post of Censor Zhongcheng. I would like to remind you not to be visited by the Censor when the time comes."
Everyone looked at each other, they were all present that day, and they knew how hard this gentleman had offended Mr. Fusu. Now that Mr. Fusu is the censor, he and others may not be able to reap the consequences.
Some people even vaguely regretted it. Why did they dare to go against Mr. Fusu because of lard in the first place?
Seeing the complicated expressions on his men's faces, Lin Ze couldn't guess some of their thoughts, and said quietly: "There are some things that haven't reached the end yet, so don't jump to conclusions easily. Fusu isn't that scary. I'm fine, aren't I?"
Everyone suddenly woke up and wondered if Fusu was easy to mess with. They just guessed that the person in front of them was going to attack, but he was really ruthless. Wu Chenggang died not long ago.
Then each of them had a smile on their face and said: "My lord, you must restrain your subordinates when they go back, and be on guard, and make sure not to leave any clues."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Well, you can get ready later."
Ai Hui and others bowed and left.
After the others left, Wu Fan said with a worried look on his face: "Sir, it seems to me that this matter has been spread out, and someone may have other intentions. You need to be careful in dealing with it."
Lin Ze smiled softly: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements, so you can go and prepare."
Wu Fan cupped his hands and retreated slowly.
…
The next day, Lin Ze set off from Lin Mansion in a carriage. When he arrived at the gate of Tingwei Mansion, he was stopped by someone and asked, "But will Commander Lin Ze do it in person?"
Lin Ze replied calmly: "It's me, who are you?" But he knew clearly in his heart: This Fusu is not even willing to wait for a moment longer, is he so eager to cause trouble for me?
Sure enough, the visitor directly showed his official seal and said: "Master Lin, you are polite. I will go to Zhou Xing, the Legal Affairs Department of Tingwei Mansion. Master Tingwei received the official document from the Yushitai. The censor Zhongcheng and a dozen of the imperial censors jointly impeached you, listing the abuses."
Ten crimes including taking power and accepting bribes.
Lord Tingwei immediately ordered that you be temporarily suspended from duty and be investigated by the Department of Law. We will make a conclusion after the investigation of the matter is clear. Please hand over your command seal and waist badge."
Lin Ze just stared at Zhou Xing without saying a word.
Zhou Xing patted his head and said: "I almost forgot, your Excellency is a third-rank official, and you need an investigation order before you can be suspended."
Then he took out another document and said: "This is the investigation order signed by Lord Tingwei. Please take a look at it."
Lin Ze took it and took a look. The scarlet Tingwei seal was very eye-catching. He smiled and said: "Yes, it is an investigation order issued by Lord Tingwei. I will cooperate with you."
After saying that, he put the investigation order into his arms, and then handed the commander's seal and badge from his arms to Zhou Xing.
After doing this, Lin Ze walked towards the gate of Tingwei Mansion without thinking about himself.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but said: "Since Mr. Lin has been suspended, it is best to stay in the mansion and wait for the investigation. There is no need to go to Tingwei's mansion."
Lin Ze turned his head with a dangerous look and grinned: "What, you want to stop me?"
Zhou Xing felt a chill in his heart and said with a dry smile: "I don't dare to do this, so please help yourself."
Lin Ze snorted coldly, strode into Tingwei's Mansion, and headed straight for Hu Hai's mansion.
