Li Mu naturally doesn't need Zhang Chun's medicinal wine.
Practitioners of other side sects may need to use external substances to replenish their bodies, but practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism do not.
Taoist practitioners who refine the seven souls, especially the Que Yin soul, have sufficient kidney energy and do not need to replenish it.
Buddhist practitioners directly cultivate their bodies. Their bodies are as strong as an ox, so there is no need to take supplements.
Of course, in Buddhism, it doesn’t make any difference whether you take supplements or not.
This medicinal wine may be the icing on the cake, but Li Mu really doesn't need it at the moment. One sip will make him dream all night long, and Li Mu doesn't want to try that feeling again.
"Don't forget it." Zhang Chun shook his head, walked out of the yamen, and said, "I'm going to Zongzheng Temple."
Zongzheng Temple mainly handles royal affairs, and the official offices, like the three provinces, are located in the palace.
Zhang Chun entered the palace with the belt card of Zongzheng Temple Prime Minister and arrived at the gate of Zongzheng Temple.
Two palm guards at the door came to greet him and asked, "Sir, what important business do you have at Zongzheng Temple?"
Zhang Chun took out his waist badge and said, "I am the newly appointed Prime Minister of Zongzheng Temple."
The two palm guards had long heard that Zongzheng Temple officials had expanded, and there was an additional Shaoqing and Si Cheng. After seeing the waist badge, they immediately said respectfully: "I have seen the Si Cheng, please come in, Si Cheng."
One of them took Zhang Chun to a remote government office and said, "Sir, Master Shaoqing has made arrangements. This will be your government office from now on."
Zhang Chun asked: "Where are the Si Qing and Shao Qing?"
That Zhang Gu said: "When there is no serious matter, the two adults will not come here. Liu Shaoqing has just come and left. Feng Sicheng is taking a nap. When he wakes up, I will inform you later."
Zhang Chun moved a chair and sat down, and said: "This is my first time coming to Zongzheng Temple. Please tell me what I do on weekdays."
Na Zhanggu said: "The most important thing of Zongzheng Temple is to manage the affairs of the royal family. If a child of the royal family gives birth to a child, he must report it to Zongzheng Temple in time so that the royal bloodline can be included in the genealogy. The royal family's children must also be ennobled by Zongzheng.
The temple registers and makes a list. Whenever there is a major sacrifice, appointment, or court ceremony, the royal family members should accompany and participate in the ceremony, and the Zongzheng Temple will also make a list to separate relatives..."
Zhang Chun asked: "Are the criminals committed by royal family members, foreign relatives, and officials above the fourth rank also subject to trial by Zongzheng Temple?"
The Zhang Gu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "According to the law, if relatives of the emperor, relatives of the country, or high officials in the court violate the law, only Zongzheng Temple can judge them."
Although the law stipulates this, if relatives of the emperor, or state officials who need to be tried by Zongzheng Temple, commit something, they can settle it with their own power, and it will not be their turn to be tried by Zongzheng Temple, unless they do something.
It is rebellion and rebellion.
Zhang Chun continued to ask: "What is the process of Zongzheng Temple's trial?"
Nazhang Gu said: "We must first summon the royal relatives or officials who violate the law."
Zhang Chun said calmly: "Go to the Zhongshu Province and summon Cui Ming, the left minister of the Zhongshu Province."
Zhang Gu was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.
Isn't Zhongshu Zuo Shilang the emperor's consort? He dared to summon the emperor's consort to appear in court?
"Didn't you hear that?" Zhang Chun repeated: "Go to Zhongshu Province and summon Cui Ming, the left minister of Zhongshu, to this official. He is involved in a major case."
After Zhang Gu was stunned for a moment, he covered his stomach and said, "Sir, I suddenly have unbearable abdominal pain. I have to go to the toilet. Please forgive me..."
After that, he ignored Zhang Chun and ran out quickly.
In another government office, Zhang Gu hurriedly ran in, woke up a person who was sleeping on the table, and said hurriedly: "Master Feng, it's not good, something serious is going to happen!"
Feng Sicheng, who was disturbed from his sweet dream, raised his head, with a hint of anger on his face, and asked: "What's the matter? You're so flustered..."
Nazhang Gu said: "The new temple minister is here!"
Feng Sicheng frowned and said, "He's here as soon as he comes. Why, when he comes, do you want me to go and greet him in person?"
The Zhang Gu said in a panic: "No, as soon as he came to Zongzheng Temple, he wanted to summon Cui Shilang to come to inquire about the case. What should I do?"
Hearing the word "Cui Shilang", Feng Si Cheng suddenly became more awake and asked: "Cui Shilang, which Cui Shilang?"
Zhang Gu said: "Cui Ming, the minister of Zhongshu, is Princess Yunyang's consort."
Feng Sicheng stood up and said in shock: "Is he crazy? On the first day of coming to Zongzheng Temple, he dared to cause trouble for Cui Prince Consort before he could sit down firmly under his buttocks?"
After Zhang Gu left, Zhang Chun waited in the government office.
He did not wait for Zhang Gu, but instead waited for a man wearing the same official uniform as him.
The man walked in and introduced himself: "I, Feng Jie, am the Prime Minister of Zongzheng Temple."
Zhang Chun cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Feng, disrespectful and disrespectful..."
Feng Si Cheng asked: "I heard that Mr. Zhang is going to summon Cui Shilang. I wonder what crime Cui Shilang has committed?"
Zhang Chuntao: "Zongzheng Temple summoned him, and I will confront him face to face, and I will know."
Feng Sicheng said: "Master Cui is the consort of the dynasty. He has a distinguished status. He is also the minister of Zhongshu. He is responsible for everything. I don't know how many state affairs are waiting for him to handle. How can we pass on and summon as we say? If we delay the country
For such a big thing, who among you and me can take the responsibility?"
Zhang Chun snorted coldly and said: "So what if you were the prince-in-law of the dynasty, and what if you were the minister of Zhongshu. He kills people to pay for his life, and pays debts for money. I am in charge of his daily affairs, and if he breaks the law, he should be judged!"
"
Feng Si Cheng said: "Tell me first, what crime did Cui Shilang commit?"
Zhang Chun said coldly: "He killed his fiancée and framed dozens of members of her family. Shouldn't this officer report him?"
"That's nonsense!" Feng Sicheng said: "Everyone knows that Mr. Cui's wife is Princess Yunyang, how can you allow you to frame her here!"
Zhang Chun said calmly: "Whether I framed you or not, you will know after you call Cui Ming."
Feng Si Cheng's expression was gloomy and uncertain. Looking at Zhang Chun's appearance, he seemed to be very sure about this matter. This made him, who had not believed it at first, begin to waver in his heart.
He also knows a little about Cui Shilang's past.
He was originally the son-in-law of the Jiujiang County Sheriff. Later, the Jiujiang County Sheriff colluded with the Demon Sect and his whole family was massacred. Cui Ming reported his meritorious service and was reused by the late emperor.
In more than ten years, he went from being a minor official to marrying a princess and becoming an important minister in the court. No one remembers what he did before.
Cui Ming was a pillar of the old party. Feng Si Cheng did not dare to neglect. He looked at Zhang Chun and said: "This case is of great importance. I will inform Si Qing first and ask him to make a decision first."
After that, he walked out of Zongzheng Temple, but did not leave the palace. Instead, he went around to the back door of Zhongshu Province.
He summoned the chief of the pavilion who was guarding the gate and said: "I, Feng Jie, Minister of Zongzheng Temple, go and inform Shilang Cui that I have something important to do with him."
The head of the pavilion said: "Sir, wait a moment, I will go and communicate with Master Cui."
After a while, Cui Ming walked out of it, and Feng Sicheng hurriedly greeted him and said, "I have seen the Prince Consort."
Cui Ming glanced at him lightly and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Feng Si Cheng asked: "Do you know, Prince Consort, that there is a new Si Cheng in Zongzheng Temple?"
Cui Ming glanced at him and asked, "Is this related to your important matter with me?"
"It's relevant, it's very relevant!" Feng Sicheng said: "On the first day he came to Zongzheng Temple, he was going to summon the prince-in-law, saying that you were involved in a big case. He summoned you to Zongzheng Temple. The lower official had already
I have put this matter aside for the time being and do not dare to make decisions on my own. I will come to see the Prince Consort immediately..."
"I am involved in a case?" Cui Ming frowned and asked, "What case?"
Feng Si Cheng lowered his head and said, "I dare not say anything."
Cui Ming said coldly: "Say!"
Feng Si Cheng trembled and said: "He said that you killed your fiancée and framed her entire family, killing dozens of people..."
"Absurd!" Cui Ming gave him a cold look and said, "What is my identity? Do you believe such ridiculous words?"
After hearing this, Feng Sicheng finally felt relieved and said quickly: "Of course I won't believe it. The prince-in-law kills his relatives out of justice. How could he do such a noble thing and do something worse than a beast..."
A smile appeared on his face and he said, "I'm going back first."
Watching Feng Si Cheng leave, Cui Ming's face gradually darkened.
Twenty years have passed since this incident. Everyone in the Chu family was sentenced to death for colluding with evil cultivators. He saw with his own eyes that the whole family, including the servants and servants, were separated from their bodies and their souls were scattered.
Except for him, no one knew about this matter. How did the new Zongzhengji Cheng learn about it?
Moreover, the three words "Zongzhengji" sounded familiar to him, and the more he thought about it, the more familiar it became...
But he had never been to Zongzheng Temple and had no involvement with Zongzheng Temple officials.
He returned to Zhongshu Province with deep thoughts, and coincidentally, several people came out of a government office.
"Master Li, walk slowly."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."
"It's finally over. These days, thanks to Mr. Li..."
…
Several members of the Zhongshu family sent Li Mu out. With Li Mu's help, after half a month of discussions, the complete imperial examination system was finally settled.
When Li Mu walked out of Zhongshu Province, he turned around, looked at Cui Ming standing in the courtyard, and smiled slightly.
With this smile, a bolt of lightning flashed across Cui Ming's mind.
Zongzhengji Temple!
He finally remembered where his familiarity with Zongzheng Temple came from...
From Li Mu!
In the past half month, Li Mu used the imperial examination to discuss matters, first breaking the Xiao family's old party's complete control of Zongzheng Temple.
Later, he proposed that Zongzheng Temple supervise the imperial examination and take the opportunity to expand Zongzheng Temple officials.
Later, he also threatened six people from Zhongshushe and sent Zhang Chun, the capital of the gods, to the position of Zongzhengsi Cheng.
This series of abnormal and weird behaviors had made Cui Ming puzzled for a long time. It should not be, and is unlikely, that Li Mu would go to such great lengths just to send his men to Zongzheng Temple.
On the first day Zhang Chun came to Zongzheng Temple, he summoned him. The reason for the summons was about an old incident twenty years ago.
This is no coincidence!
Before this, everything Li Mu did was to prepare for what happened today.
He is Li Mu's ultimate goal!
All of this is interlocking and progressing step by step. Over the past half month, Li Mu has been approaching his goal step by step.
At this moment, Cui Ming even suspected that Li Mu did not hesitate to become enemies of the four major academies, reform the system of selecting officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and propose imperial examinations, just to take advantage of the opportunity to interfere with Zongzheng Temple, for today...
This person's deep scheming and detailed layout are terrifying...
Thinking of Li Mu's meaningful smile just now, Cui Ming felt chills all over his body, a cold air rushing from his tailbone to the top of his head...
