In official circles, apart from the palace, the most mysterious place is the cabinet.
Even for many officials in the imperial capital, the cabinet is still out of reach.
Hua Changshi has been an official for half his life, and this is the first time he has stepped into the ordinary yet mysterious black lacquered wooden door of Lingyun Palace. The imperial guard at the door checked Hua Changshi's waist certificate, and another guard led Hua Changshi in.
Under the clear sky, the giant locust tree stretched out its green crown. A man in the official uniform of Zhongshushe asked, "What are you doing here, sir?"
"Your Majesty the Third Highness has an urgent message. Please ask Li Shangshu to print it." Hua Changshi said.
Zhongshu Sheren asked Hua Changshi to pass the report on his behalf. After a while, the Sheren came out and invited Hua Changshi to come in. Although Li Shangshu served in the Ministry of Punishments, his temper was quite amiable, and when he saw Hua Changshi, he was not happy.
He was told to be polite and asked directly, "Your Highness has something to do. I should go over and listen to the Marquis's instructions. I would rather ask Changting to go there yourself."
Hua Changshi, courtesy name Changting.
Hua Changshi presented the document signed and sealed by Mu Anzhi and explained, "His Royal Highness said that Your Excellency is working hard in the cabinet every day, and he also wanted to ask Du Shangshu to seal it, so he asked the official to come over."
Li Shangshu took a closer look and saw that it was an order requesting the Ministry of Punishment to provide official ultimatums. Thinking that Hua Changshi had been reviewing Yan's case, he couldn't help but ask, "Are these officials related to Yan's case?"
"A list of all the signing officials on the Yan case file fifteen years ago."
Li Shangshu nodded, signed and printed the order and handed it to Hua Changshi, "Du Shangshu is next door. Let Chang Hai take you there to save you a lot of trouble."
"Yes, thank you, sir." Hua Changshi collected the order and went with the Chang Dian books next to Li Shangshu.
Li Shangshu continued to read the memorial, does the Third Highness want to be implicated in this? Speaking of the temperament of the Third Highness, it is true that there is no dust in his eyes. However... Li Shangshu's eyes slightly rolled a few times. This is not just a matter of not seeing dust in his eyes.
.
It seems that the Third Highness will use the Yan case to establish his authority for the subsequent Nanyi military ration case!
Ministry of Punishment.
Tang Mo, wearing a bright red official uniform, stood at the door and knocked twice. Mu Anzhi raised his head and saw that it was him. He couldn't help but smile and joked, "Hey, the scholar is here."
"Third brother, are you kidding me?" Tang Mo went in with a smile. He also took the scholar examination this year, and he and Huan Li are considered to be scholars in the same class. The difference is that the two of them are responsible for one case and one is Sun Shan. It feels like putting others aside.
It's hard to save face, especially when Huan Li is doing paperwork and other sorting work beside Mu Anzhi. However, Tang Mo is born with a simple temper, and he is young. He is only sixteen years old this year. The person who can be selected as a scholar at this age is Sun Shan
He is also Sun Shan among the talents.
"Why am I laughing at you? I don't have any fame yet. I heard that my aunt is going to hold a banquet at home, and the emperor also said that he would serve you a drink. Why are you here so early as an errand?"
Tang Mo clasped his hands behind his back, showed his flat belly, and shook his head modestly, "I'm just a scholar, so I don't need to make such a big show of it. It's mainly because Ajian gave me extra lessons that I won the prize. It won't be too late to celebrate when I win the exam, Hu
The eldest brother has come to help the third brother, so I will come too."
He lay down in front of Mu Anzhi's desk with a smile. Mu Anzhi turned the brush in his hand and was about to draw a line on the tip of his nose. Tang Mo quickly dodged and said, "I have something to tell you, Third Brother."
"You look like something is wrong, what is it?"
"Third brother, do you know how Doctor Zheng is doing? I heard that Doctor Zheng has returned from delivering a letter. Is he okay in Shandong?"
"Mr. Xu asked you to come."
Tang Mo nodded honestly, "Mr. Xu is very worried about Mr. Zheng. Aren't they fellow villagers? Liu Chong died before Mr. Zheng arrived in Shandong. Mr. Xu said that Shandong is probably not very stable, and Mr. Zheng doesn't have many people with him.
, I’m afraid something will happen to Mr. Zheng.”
He was young and cautious, and because he had an affair with Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xu told him that he was also a little worried about Mr. Zheng who was far away in Shandong. Mu An said, "Call Mr. Xu here and I will tell him personally."
Tang Mo ran to call someone.
Xu Langzhong actually asked Tang Mo to inquire about something, but unexpectedly Tang Mo sent him to Mu Anzhi. Xu Langzhong really wanted to say to Tang Mo, are you going to inquire about things for me or sell me? Tang Mo also returned a painting
She said to him with a good-natured look, "Go ahead, Lao Xu. My third brother is very kind. As soon as he heard that you were thinking about Mr. Zheng, he immediately asked you to go over and tell you personally about Lao Zheng."
Xu Langzhong didn't make Tang Mo's innocent big eyes flash to death. Xu Langzhong said, "Every time I see Tang Mo, I feel like he and I are in different worlds."
And Tang Mo really didn't mean to mess with him, Tang Mo went with him.
Mu Anzhi pointed to a document on the table and said to Mr. Xu, "Mr. Zheng sent it back, take a look."
Huan Li took the document and handed it to Doctor Xu, who read it at a glance. It was Doctor Zheng's request to stay in Shandong. Although Liu Zhong died, Doctor Zheng planned to stay in Shandong to sort out Liu Zhong's belongings and restart the case investigation on the spot.
Xu Langzhong pinched Doctor Zheng's letter, worried in his heart, and couldn't help but frown, "It's easy to imagine how complicated Shandong's officialdom can be for someone like Liu Zhong. Old Zheng's official rank is not high, and what he wants to investigate is an old case.
, I’m afraid it will be difficult to handle.”
"Yes." Mu Anzhi said, "Mr. Zheng doesn't have many people with him. I want to send him another helper. Who do you think is suitable?"
Xu Langzhong suddenly felt something bad, and he shivered shrewdly, "Your Highness is not talking about me, is he?"
Mu Anzhi smiled slightly, picked up the tea and sipped slowly, "If we talk about the connection between hearts, it is you and Lao Zheng. You two are from the same hometown and are in the same department. You two are solemn and flexible, and you are as careful as your hair.
It has been many years, not to mention that this time, there was a matter of confiscating Liu Chong’s property after his death, and it must be you, the doctor of Bibusi."
Doctor Xu originally wanted Tang Mo to inquire about Doctor Zheng's current situation, but he ended up getting himself into a quagmire. It's unclear how many people will be implicated and offended in the Nanyi military ration case. Such a case depends on Doctor Xu's slippery hands.
, there must be no way to hide. He raised his eyes to peek at Mu Anzhi's face, and met Mu Anzhi's eyes as ice-like as snow, "Mr. Xu is unwilling?"
Doctor Xu didn't have time to think, he already said, "No, no, no, of course I am willing." He secretly cursed himself for being a coward, why did he just agree to it?
Mu Anzhi took a piece of white paper and wrote a line of handwriting: "In matters concerning Shandong, you can make your own judgment based on the situation and act expediently. All consequences will be borne by this palace." He stamped the seal and handed it to Xu Langzhong, "Give it to Lao Zheng."
Doctor Xu took it with excitement, and when he saw this line of writing, he couldn't help but feel impressed. Even though His Highness was a bit ruthless in ordering people around, he was at least a responsible official. Working for such a person would at least have a clear conscience.
Xu Lang groaned in his heart and complained without any ambiguity. He bowed and bowed, "I'm going to prepare my men now. I still have some matters at hand to deal with. Early tomorrow morning, I will lead my people straight to Shandong."
"
Mu An's jaw dropped, "Shandong will be left to you two."
"I will live up to His Highness's trust!"
After Dr. Xu retired, Tang Mo also ran away with him. He now has a very good relationship with Mr. Xu. The two of them and Du Changshi often have lunch together, otherwise Mr. Xu wouldn't be able to ask Tang Mo to come over and inquire about Dr. Zheng in Shandong.
.
One or two long bird calls came from the window, and a black long-tailed bird standing on the treetop chirped and fluttered its wings and flew away. Some summer wind poured into the room, and I saw Du Changshi hurriedly coming through the window.
Come.
Du Changshi had a slight sweat on his forehead, Huan Li handed him a cup of herbal tea, "Is it so difficult to deal with the Dali Temple censor's desk?"
"The two of them are reviewing and supervising. They have never been so anxious to do things in the past. Now the Nanyi military grain case has been changed to His Highness as the presiding judge, and it has been merged with the Zhou family case and the Yan family case. Both families want the files of these two cases.
." Du Changshi drank more than half a cup of tea in one breath, and Huan Li gave him another cup. Du Changshi said, "It's also ridiculous. I'm worried that His Highness will re-trial the military ration case. He said that the front-line efforts are not small, and I'm afraid of re-trialing the case.
It wastes a lot of manpower, wastes people and money, and wastes half a day talking. In fact, it is not a big deal, it is just making noise."
Du Changshi took a break and took out his beloved sandalwood open-carved light gauze fan from his fan bag, "Your Highness, we should make arrangements for Tongzhou in advance. Tongzhou is the starting point of the entire canal, and the Zhou family has been operating there for many years, and the military ration case
Tongzhou Wharf needs to be thoroughly investigated. The personnel of the third department are complex. If our people don't get to Tongzhou first, we might be disrupted."
Mu Anzhi also understands this truth. In fact, Mu Anzhi discussed with Du Changshi and Hua Changshi last night. After the three cases were combined into one, the two most important nodes were Shandong and Tongzhou. It was necessary to send the most reliable
Get first-hand evidence manually.
In Shandong, Dr. Zheng and Mr. Xu were the candidates. Mu Anzhi had never thought about the candidate here in Tongzhou. Hua Changshi was responsible for the retrial of the Yan family case and wanted to investigate the affairs of the officials who handled it at the time in the imperial capital. Du Changshi could not go to Tongzhou either. Du Changshi
Responsible for liaising with the third division.
In fact, from a selfish perspective, Huan Li was a good candidate, but the military ration case involved Hu Yuan, who had been formally arrested and sent to prison, so Huan Li needed to avoid suspicion on many occasions.
Du Changshi knew Mu Anzhi's difficulties and took the initiative to ask for help, "I'd better go to Tongzhou. An Li and Lao Hua will help sort out the cases in the Third Division. In addition, it will be enough to transfer a few people from the Criminal Department."
The wind was getting stronger, so he opened a few pages of files on the desk. Huan Li went over and put down the screen window, "I can organize the files, but I don't have enough status to come forward. Hua Changshi's place is already very busy, and allocating manpower can only be done.
Some auxiliary matters." If Du Changshi goes to Tongzhou, it will be too difficult to find someone as strong as Du Changshi, who is of the same mind as His Highness the Third Highness.
Huan Li's heart suddenly moved, "I have a good candidate to go to Tongzhou. I wonder if he can make it?"
"Speak quickly, speak quickly." Du Changshi urged, waving his fan.
"Chief Tang Mo Tang."
Du Changshi's eyes widened, "Are you kidding me?" Tang Mo is still a baby, right?
Mu Anzhi was also a little surprised, and thought for a while, "Tang Mo is still young, so he shouldn't say that he has to travel far away on errands. The Ministry of Punishment has never done errands himself."
"It doesn't necessarily mean that it can't be done well if you haven't done it before." Huan Li has a gentle temperament and speaks in an unhurried manner. He said, "Master Tang has a pure temperament and is always serious about his work. Although he has never done anything independently, he can do things like this in Bidusi
He has done a lot of things over the years, but has anything ever gone wrong?"
"Tongzhou has two advantages for the Tang chief: first, the Tang family is related by marriage to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, and Li Zhizhou of Tongzhou is now a branch of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion; second, Tongzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Zhili Prefecture, and Chen, the nephew of Governor Chen, is directly under the jurisdiction of the Zhili Prefecture.
Jian and Director Tang are good friends, and Chen Jian and I are classmates. She is smart, capable, resolute and decisive, and is highly valued by Governor Chen."
Listening to what Huan Li said, Du Changshi suddenly felt that Tang Mo was indeed a good candidate. He started to shake his fan again, "Chen Jian is famous for his arrogance, but if it comes to Tang Mo, he must give Tang Mo a favor."
Face." The Tang family has been a member of the Tang family for thousands of years, and the dynasty has changed three times, but the old Tang family still stands firmly in the court. It can be seen that the family background is by no means comparable to ordinary families. What's more, Tang Mo is still his direct nephew!
He said that considering Tang Mo's identity, he could suppress him wherever he went. Even if those old officials wanted to fool him, they would never dare to offend him!
Huan Li slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Let Mr. Tang ask Chen Jian to be a military advisor, and we can go to Tongzhou together. What can't be done?"
Du Changshi laughed heartily.
Mu Anzhi agreed, "I'll leave this matter to you, An Li."
Although the matter was left to Huan Li, Huan Li was just giving Tang Mo advice. Regarding sending Tang Mo on foreign mission, Mu Anzhi had to personally explain it to his aunt, uncle, and grandmother.
