After a month, the streets of Kaifeng were once again crowded with people.
But last time it was the newly promoted Jinshi who were paraded through the streets, this time it was the gangsters who were beheaded in public.
There were Kaifeng's fast archers on the left and right sides, and the Imperial Army opened the way in front. They first escorted a row of party members, and then under strict guard at all levels, the three "Wu Yazi", "Li Qiushui" and "Tianshan Tonglao"
The leader of a thief was imprisoned in a huge special cage, with his hair disheveled and his head lowered, full of remorse.
The purpose of parading in the streets is to serve as a warning to others and to stabilize people's hearts.
Now that the people saw it, they felt really at ease. They were excited and shouted and cursed.
Soon, the prisoners were escorted to the execution ground, where officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment stood ready.
Huang Shang is among them.
He has been awarded an official position, a Dali judge, and an eighth-rank official in the capital.
Don't think this is too low. Civil servants in the Song Dynasty were divided into court officials, capital officials and selected officials.
As the name suggests, court officials are officials who attend court meetings and meet the emperor.
This does not specifically refer to them, but they basically refer to middle and high-level civil servants from the seventh rank or above.
Beijing officials are generally in the eighth or ninth rank, and they also do not specifically refer to officials serving in Beijing, including local officials.
These grades may not sound high, but the Song Dynasty was not like the later Qing Dynasty. First-grade officials were everywhere, and second- and third-grade officials were not as good as dogs. In a large county in Huang Shang's hometown, the county chief was only from the eighth grade, and could govern a state.
, maybe not even the seventh level.
As for selecting people, they are local officials. These people account for 90% of the number. Most of the officials have been in the local area all their lives. Only when they enter the capital and meet the emperor can they be promoted to Beijing officials.
It can be seen from this that Huang Shang's official position can make many people go crazy with envy.
He directly became the eighth-rank official of the capital. Once he was sent abroad, he was basically the leader of a continent, equivalent to the mayor of later generations.
It is impossible for other Jinshis to be so awesome. They are still selected. They need to go to the local level to gain qualifications before they can become officials in the capital.
However, anyone with a discerning eye in the officialdom can see that Huang Shang was suppressed.
Not to mention that the Dali judge of the eighth rank is just the normal treatment of the number one scholar, and Huang Shang won three prizes in a row, which is much more glorious than the ordinary number one scholar. Just look at this and be assigned to the Ministry of Punishment. Whose home base is that?
Han Qi might be retreating tactically!
Huang Shang, however, seems to know nothing, and is a quiet three-dollar person.
However, he did see a familiar person in Xixia's fine works.
What was familiar was the aura. Judging from the appearance, it was impossible to recognize the man whose skin was torn and tortured into a humanoid shape. He was Cai Jing, who was graceful and handsome just last month.
The plan to frame Cai Jing was originally planned by Xu Yue and Xu Feng, and then passed on to Wuque Nightingale, who in turn gave him the credit.
Huang Shang stayed out of the matter and left it to Murong Fu for actual operation.
Just beating the drum and passing the flowers one by one, Cai Jing, who should have been a tragedy, became a tragedy.
As if realizing that life was at its last moment, Cai Jing suddenly woke up.
His eyes were swollen, and his vision was blurry. But when Huang Shang looked over, he seemed to be aware of it and struggled suddenly, making a grunting sound in his mouth.
Then he was knocked down with a stick and passed out.
It can be seen that the Ministry of Punishment is already full of soldiers. Cai Jing's abnormal behavior has touched their sensitive nerves and they have taken immediate action.
But what should happen will eventually happen.
Today's officialdom of the Song Dynasty is destined to not be peaceful.
"Execution!"
"Save someone under the knife!"
When officials in the distance rode towards the execution ground, carrying His Majesty's decree to protect the "Three Happy Elders", the Ministry of Punishment was in chaos. Several officials looked frightened and desperate, while Huang Shang raised the corners of his mouth.
To be fair, in officialdom battles, within the rules, he could not beat those old and cunning scholar-bureaucrats.
He is an actor on earth. When it comes to acting, he has struggled a lot and endured countless hardships. His professional qualities are beyond words.
When it comes to officialdom struggles, they remain on paper and have no idea of actual operations.
Can Huang Shang do it?
What a fart!
Huang Shang's strength is his unparalleled talent. As for faction fighting, if he is good at it, he will not end up like the original plot.
Being smart does not mean that a Huiyin person is a person. Lao Yinbi sometimes does not necessarily have a high IQ. What is more important is that he is vicious and vicious, and will use all possible means to do anything.
However, although Huang Shang is not very familiar with officialdom struggles, he knows that as prime minister, it is impossible to have political opponents.
Below one person and above ten thousand people, there are bound to be too many people who are jealous of your position.
Therefore, there was no need for him to take action personally. He only needed to let Murong Fu investigate a few things, and then the clever little book boy would secretly pass on the news about the death row prisoners being exchanged by the Ministry of Punishment to Han Qi's political opponents.
The next step is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Sure enough, after several days of deliberation, at the most important moment, the lid of the Criminal Department was suddenly lifted.
Huang Shang wanted to see Han Qi's expression at this moment.
This prime minister may not even know about the exchange of death row prisoners.
Otherwise, with his political wisdom, it would be impossible for him to agree.
Because Han Zhongyan was previously accused of being a Xixia spy.
Now it is revealed that the death row prisoners were exchanged. Is this a cover-up of mistakes or a guilty conscience?
One coincidence is a coincidence, but two coincidences are also coincidences?
What a coincidence.
But the whole court didn’t believe it!
The prince doesn’t believe it!
With just two simple things, Han Qi's years of hard work were wasted.
He is indeed a big shot, a big shot that cannot be shaken under normal circumstances, but times come and go, and sometimes things are just so sudden.
As for the Han family in Xiangzhou?
It is no longer the Jin and Sui Dynasties now. The chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty has caused the great family to completely decline!
Family, eat shit!
Huang Shang thought leisurely, suddenly his brows moved, he looked towards the imperial city, his face darkened.
…
…
at the same time.
The Imperial City of the Song Dynasty.
"Succeeded!"
"Let's go, Wuque Nightingale is already waiting for us!"
The siblings reunited, and Xu Yue couldn't help but look overjoyed when she looked at the coiled dragon stick in Xu Feng's hand.
The so-called Panlong Stick sounds awesome, but it is actually a weapon made of two sticks, one long and one short, connected together with iron rings and hoops.
A punch can hit a line, and a stick can hit a piece. In battle, this weapon can not only take advantage of the stick, but also swing it like a whip to attack the enemy.
Zhao Kuangyin held a dragon-coiling stick in his hand and struck at the horse's feet, defeating the armored soldiers, and made a lot of achievements.
Later generations used the principle of the Panlong Gun to transform weapons more suitable for close combat, which are the well-known three-section sticks and nunchakus.
The Coiling Dragon Stick in Xu Feng's hand is now covered with scars. Even if it has been repaired and maintained, it is obviously unusable and can only be used to recall the eventful past.
The most important thing is that this object cannot be put into the space of the reincarnation star pattern. There is a kind of repulsion between the two. If it is put in forcibly, it will immediately turn into powder.
This is proof.
The main mission target is the dragon-coiling stick used by Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty!
"Walk!"
After getting the Coiling Dragon Stick, the two of them immediately headed to Yanfu Palace.
There is a tunnel dug by Taoist priests and Xia Hui using an excavation robot, which leads directly from Wuyou Cave to the palace.
Later, the two sides fought and the tunnel was sealed. Not long ago, Xu Feng dug it out as a retreat.
Now they have joined forces with Wu Que Nightingale to complete the main mission together. The four reincarnations worked together to find a way to avoid Ban Zhi, and stole the Coiling Dragon Stick from the palace without any danger.
"Leave!"
But this scene caught Huang Shang's eyes and he took action without hesitation.
He has been blessed with thousands of years of cultural energy in this world, condensed literature and music, and is uniquely blessed by nature. He should also be a patron saint, protecting the world, and his principles will never waver.
The destiny of the country, the dragon spirit, will never be allowed to be robbed by reincarnations!
However, when Haoran's righteous energy fell from the sky and touched the coiled dragon stick in Xu Feng's hand, it suddenly stagnated.
Huang Shang's eyes showed confusion.
This weapon has the protection of world consciousness, but it does not have the cohesion of national destiny and dragon energy.
There is no mistaking this.
Wenqi was originally an illusory force that was biased toward belief. After condensing Wenqu, he had a certain degree of perception of the national destiny of the Song Dynasty, which was enough to confirm the authenticity.
what happened?
Could it be that the main temple made a mistake and the mission target was selected incorrectly?
