Chapter 237 One Emperor and One Minister

Hou Junji was about to return to the Qin Palace and was walking on the road. Suddenly, a rhythmic knock sounded on the carriage beside the entrance of the alley.

Three long and two short, one long and one short. Hou Junji's face changed slightly, this is the call signal of the left supervisor's doorman.

Hou Junji's face changed slightly. In front of Li Yuan, he was actually panicked. Li Shimin was not sure about Li Jiancheng's near murder, but was very clear. However, he concealed Li Yuan a little, because Li Shimin proposed marriage to Hou Junji with Fang Xuanling, and wanted to marry Hou Junji and let Qin King Li Chengqian marry Hou Junji's daughter.

Although Hou Junji knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed, he must have missed something that Li Shimin discovered. This was a win-win called proposing marriage and the last ultimatum.

Once Hou Junji rejects Li Shimin's kindness, then Hou Junji may either be hit and killed by a running carriage, or even choked to death while eating, or may be shot to death by a tramp while on the battlefield.

If Li Shimin wants Hou Junji to die, Hou Junji will never have the possibility of escape. The key is that Hou Junji has no choice at all. He can't be honest with Li Yuan. His identity is leaked and Li Shimin may be silenced at any time.

In this way, Li Yuan would think that Hou Junji was incompetent. As one of the four secret spies of the Left Supervision Sect, his identity was leaked, which meant death.

However, compromise with Li Shimin and help Li Shimin deceive Li Yuan. Once the matter is successful, Li Shimin is the crown prince, and Li Chengqian may be the crown prince. His daughter is the future crown prince's concubine and queen. So for Hou Junji, it is also a maximum benefit.

This time, Li Jiancheng was killed because Changsun Wuji used Guo Shaogang under the command of Mo Chenxu, the young minister of Dali Temple. If Li Jiancheng was killed, Li Shimin would take the lead and became the new crown prince of the Tang Dynasty indisputably. As Li Yuan's two remaining legitimate sons, although Li Shimin was not as good as Li Jiancheng, he had relatively much advantage over Li Yuanji.

However, as soon as he left the palace, the guard of the left prison guard came to contact him immediately. Hou Junji felt aroused in his heart. Could it be that he said, "He leaked the bottom in front of Li Yuan?"

Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Hou Junji's eyes. His hand instantly touched his waist and pulled out a bone-transparent nail about three inches long. If necessary, he could kill someone to silence him.

Hou Junji took a deep breath and slowly got on the carriage. The curtain of the carriage was then put down. After a while, Hou Junji's eyes adapted to the darkness in the carriage.

As expected, the person sitting opposite was Yu Yanzhang, the left guard guard at the gate of the prison. He was also a master who was as famous as Zhang Zhongjian after Yu Juluo's death. Hou Junji's eyes dimmed.

In front of Yu Yanzhang, he couldn't get out of ten rounds, and even if it was a sneak attack, there was no possibility of any mistake.

Yu Yanzhang looked at Hou Junji thoughtfully and said, "Your butt is sitting in a crooked position!"

Hou Junji bowed his head and said, "I'm humble... I'm wronged!"

"Hmph!" Yu Yanzhang snorted coldly: "As the emperor's minion, he will be back on his back, you know the consequences!"

Hou Junji's face was sweating heavily, and the bone-transparent nails in his hand were tighter.

Just as Hou Junji was about to suddenly rise up against Yu Yanzhang and was about to fight to the death. Yu Yanzhang sighed and said, "You should do it yourself!"

Yu Yanzhang suddenly shook his sleeves, and Hou Junji felt a huge force coming in front of him, as if he was like a running rhino hitting him. He flew backwards outside the carriage and pounced on the ground, and did not get up for a long time.

Originally, Yu Yanzhang wanted to clean up the portal, but at the moment he started, he felt a little reluctant.

As the saying goes, the emperor is the minister. As a royal secret guard, once Li Yuan is a hundred years later, the left guard will definitely be banned. The King of Qin has the Hundred Cavalry Office, and Li Jiancheng actually has a small intelligence organization, which is under the order of the official government and is honored as the person who purchased the catering office, but it has certain similarities with the official government.

The key is that once the layoff is made, hundreds of left-level guards died, were disabled, and their families, and how should they deal with their livelihoods? There is no doubt that the secret spies with the "yellow" font placed beside Chen Ying have also betrayed. He has surrendered to Chen Ying, otherwise Li Yuan would definitely receive some criticism from Chen Ying, rather than all the good words like now.

As for the secret spies named "Tian" under Li Jiancheng, they also had the intention of compromise. It was going to rain and mother wanted to get married. Everyone should take care of their own!

Yu Yanzhang decided not to care about these tragic matters anymore. No matter who comes to power, "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang" will not abandon the power of the left supervisor's guard. At that time, the left supervisor's guard may still have vitality.

Thinking of this, Yu Yanzhang felt relieved!

...

Xu Jingzong rarely returned to Chang'an. He liked to live in Chenjiabao in Qinglin. Now, a prosperous city and a commercial capital have been formed outside Chenjiabao.

In fact, it is not suitable for business in Chang'an. As the imperial capital, it is the power center of the Tang Dynasty, and there are too many powerful people and aristocrats. In an exaggeration, an inconspicuous person may have a large group of powerful people standing behind it. In this era, the powerful people have privileges. If they have no power or power, even the business that makes money will be snatched away.

Chenjiabao rose in business, and Chen Ying was the sky here. Although Chenjiabao is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, Wannian County basically does not go to Chenjiabao except for tax collection, because the signs in Chenjiabao were useless and dared to bully the people and merchants. They were beaten and then beat Chenjiabao. They could not call the wind and rain in Chenjiabao and acted as a blessing. These officials and minor officials naturally did not want to come to Chenjiabao to eat.

The biggest feature of Chenjiabao is fairness, fair trading, fair trading, and fair competition. In addition to workshops, there is also a wine pool and meat forest. Even Hu Ji, who has always made a living in Chang'an and makes a living by selling flesh and flesh, would rather work in Chenjiabao.

Xu Jingzong was the manager of Chen Ying's outer court. Except for the inner house of Chenjiabao, all the affairs were handed over to Xu Jingzong. His power was comparable to that of a Zhangyinzhengtang.

But now, Xu Jingzong had to leave Qinglin and go to Chang'an. Because Princess Pingyang recommended him to be a doctor in the Bi tribe. Although this was a fifth-rank official position, he was responsible for internal and external tax collection, funds, salary, public office, medals, stolen redemption, escort courses, owed items, military funds, equipment, veterinary items, and garrisons. This position is the most important position in the Twenty-four divisions of the Six Divisions, responsible for the audit and reimbursement of the entire Six Divisions and the two items of property.

This position is equivalent to the director of the State Audit Bureau in later generations, with a typical low position and weight. Xu Jingzong was a very smart person. Although Princess Pingyang was his recommended person, he also knew very well that Li Xiuning and Xu Jingzong had only had many encounters and had never said a few words, so it was absolutely impossible to give this position to himself.

The only possibility is that Chen Ying wants to take this position, which can also be said to be the first step for Chen Ying to start running the power of the court.

Xu Jingzong was born into a family of officials and was all in the officialdom, and that was the Qing Dynasty. He took this position as a sharp sword in Chen Ying's hand. As long as he needed it, he could examine all officials below the fourth rank in three provinces, six ministries, ten roads, thirteen prefectures and more than three hundred prefectures, whether in military or political terms.

In the future, Chen Ying wanted to change the officials from which position to his own, and he just needed to ask Xu Jingzong to check the officials from which position. The crows in the world are as dark as black, which official would not be afraid of investigating?

Sitting in the carriage and heading to Chang'an City. Xu Jingzong looked at Li Jiancheng's red note and a very meaningful smile appeared on his face. Li Jiancheng had nothing to do with him, but now he has allowed himself to serve as Zhongyun in Zuo Chunfang. If he was placed in the court, this position would be the Minister of the Secretariat and one of the true prime ministers who had the right to refute.

Xu Jingzong returned to Xu Jingzong's house first. Although Xu Jingzong's house was sold to Chen Ying for a price, Chen Ying had never purchased any other houses in Chang'an City. However, he bought a five-entry courtyard in Qinglongfang near Furong Garden in Quchifang. Although it was not larger than the house Xu Jingzong sold to Chen Ying, it was more exquisite.

Even after Xu Jingzong gave birth to his second son Xu Ang, he still didn't have much time to go home. This time, his vehicle had just arrived at his doorstep and found something strange.

Xu Jingzong looked at the gatekeeper Xu Zhong and said, "Uncle Zhong, what's going on?"

Xu Zhong smiled and said, "It's so good for Alang to know that this is a gift from Pei Xiangguo's son Lawyer Pei. Congratulations to Alang for promotion!"

Although Xu Jingzong's wife, Xu, was born into a favorite family, she had no direct relatives with Pei Ji. If you count three generations, it would be barely considered to be within the same clan. Pei Ji called Pei Ji the uncle of the clan, which was also a high-ranking place. He did not see any contact during the ordinary holidays.

I had just been promoted to Bishi, and Zuo Chunfang Zhongyun, and before I even took office, the people who were seeking marriage came.

Not only did Pei come to give gifts, but even the Fan family in Nanyang, who had not been in contact for a long time, sent people to send six tributes. The Fan family in Nanyang was descended from Fan Wang, the general of Anbei of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, since Fan Wang, there have been no outstanding talents. However, it was Fan Xiaocai, Xu Jingzong's grandfather, who became the Situ Priest of the Nanliang and the Prince's Session.

Looking at the gifts all over the yard, the smile on Xu Jingzong's face became more obvious and colder.

When Chen Ying was originally just a chief official in the border area, Xu Jingzong, as Chen Ying's outer court manager, had no official position and only had a sixth-rank literary official title, and everyone looked down on him.

However, now Chen Ying's strong return means that the power of the prince in the court is becoming more stable. As the prince was almost killed in the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice, Li Yuan, in a rage, dismissed all the former Minister of Justice, Minister of Justice, Minister of Dali Temple, Shaoqing and Chief Doctor, and removed more than 30 officials at once. These people had a large number of vacant official positions, and Li Shimin's party suffered serious damage.

This is actually not the most important thing. What is important is that this is the beginning. Xu Jingzong, a doctor in the biography, is intriguing enough. He is likely to use his position to kill the Qin King's party.

Although the officials who are taking action are dead now, if you investigate, you can definitely find out the truth.

It was a helpless move for Li Jiancheng not to take this matter in his heart. He was afraid that the Qing prime minister would cause greater turmoil in the court and the country. At present, the Tang Dynasty was full of dangers, with frequent internal and external troubles, and could no longer withstand the great struggle between the party and the party in the court.
