However, when the scene that happened in Lantian County spread to Chang'an City through fast horses and flying pigeons, and was quickly transferred to the Imperial City, the General Affairs Department at Zuoyintai Gate and the Shangshu Province in the former Dongya Gate, suddenly Each of them triggered extraordinary responses and chain reactions.
She Nan Huaigong, the right servant of Shangshu who was on duty in Shangshu Province, almost looked helpless and smiled bitterly. He handed this memorial to Zhang Xuyuan, the Zuocheng of Shangshu who was also on duty, and sighed: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, this As soon as Supervisor Jiang returned, such a major relationship was involved."
"..." Zhang Xuyuan, who didn't know what was going on, couldn't help but change his face slightly after taking a few glances: "The person who was sentenced to death reappeared? The temple master of the Shangsanpin Palace, who was consecrated by the imperial court, turned out to be the secret secret of all parties involved in the secret communication. Spy? Have you found the miko who has been bewitching the Jiaofang Division for a long time and poisoning her?"
"If he wasn't being alarmist or deliberately exaggerating, this would be too shocking and would involve a lot of people." Nan Huaigong, who described the elegance and excellence, shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid that the court, which has calmed down a little, will be in trouble again. It’s all too much trouble in vain!”
"In this case, Nangong, can't you postpone this matter for a while?" Zhang Xuyuan, the minister Zuocheng, asked cautiously: "After all, the previous elders have reached a consensus with the inner court; temporarily abandon the prejudices and past Controversy, and fully respond to the current drastic changes in the world."
"You and I can no longer suppress this matter." Nan Huaigong shook his head and said: "It's just the witch Wu Xi'er of Houtu Temple! Except for the people in the teaching workshop who were bewitched, there were no I don’t know how many people’s back houses were disturbed by her, and the aftermath is still rippled to this day.”
"Many people in the capital hate him to the core, and have placed heavy rewards on his whereabouts without stopping. Now that he has reappeared after a few months, how can he continue to do so casually? What's more, this time it's not that we want to be troublesome, but The implications are too great for people to just sit idly by and ignore."
At the same time, in the General Affairs Department. Right Councilor Lian Gongzhi, who was on duty at the moment, also solemnly lectured to the several experienced officers and governors who had been summoned; but his focus was obviously different:
"A person who had been sentenced to death by the imperial court actually came back to life after a few months and was caught in action? Also, a well-known palace temple master conferred by the imperial court, a member of the contemporary Louguan Taoist lineage, with a Taoist rank of sixth grade and eleventh grade The true master of Daxuan Cave who was waiting for him is actually a spy spying on the government and the public, and having liaisons with both inside and outside the country!"
"Do you know what this means? It means that in the previous investigation and liquidation of the court, I am afraid that someone was secretly obstructing and engaging in malpractice for personal gain, and something slipped through the net. If this matter is not handled properly, it will shake the authority of the court and the Tian family. His reputation may even threaten to shake the foundation of the country.”
"Now that the memorial has been handed in, this matter must be pushed forward with all our strength; whether it is the Department of Prison Judgment of Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Government Department of the Ministry of Punishment, or the Ordination and Education Department of Zongzheng Temple. Even those who previously formed the Third Department of Inspection and Examination The respective yamen must investigate on a head-to-head basis."
"Since Supervisor Jiang has given this reason to me on his own initiative, we must make good use of it!" At this point, Lian Gongzhi said meaningfully: "General Affairs Secretary Taking over the internal and external affairs, taking charge of the affairs of the state, and more importantly, we must fulfill our duties and fulfill our responsibilities."
"Right Counselor, didn't you advocate harmonizing the inside and outside and trying to maintain the balance of power in the court?" However, when everyone was ordered to retreat, the confidant who was left alone couldn't help but said: "What's the matter? Have you changed your tune again and further promoted the situation?"
"Because times have changed!" Councilor Zuo Lian said with a meaningful twist: "The way Zhang Zhongcheng left behind to reconcile the government and the opposition was not just about maintaining the balance of power! If the facts now prove that the inner court's concession is just a matter of fact. Building a plank road is a way to secretly assassinate Chen Cang."
"Then it is indispensable for our generation to stand together with the upholding righteousness faction left behind by Grand Master Yan (Zhenqing), make our own due voice, and even take more substantive actions. And the actions of this Supervisor Jiang What we have gained is a ready-made touchstone for us!"
Immediately afterwards, in the front court of the imperial city, north of the sixth cross street of Tianmen Street, there was the censor's office called Suzhengtai; the censor on duty and several censors on duty were Some kind of whining and sighing sounds were made in unison; I just realized that this colleague was too capable of causing trouble.
You should know that although Xijingli Xingyuan is under the name of Yushitai, due to the special responsibilities it undertakes, it is basically difficult for other Taiyuan, Dian and Chayuan to intervene and exert influence. On the other hand, when Lixingyuan discovers and seizes something, the Yushitai people and others will have to come forward to deal with the aftermath.
Therefore, after several incidents happened, everyone in the three courtyards of Yushitai undoubtedly developed some kind of feelings of love and hate towards Lixingyuan. I am glad that I have the opportunity to expand my influence and establish my authority, but I cannot help but worry about the tedious and laborious things to do.
Despite this, after getting the corresponding news, in addition to the step-by-step Yushitaiyuan, the palace courtyard responsible for supervising the powers of hundreds of officials, and the procuratorate that patrols the powers of counties and counties, all of them stirred up a thousand waves of noise; especially Those young censors, Li Xing and the external censors.
However, when the opinions of the Shangshu Province, the General Affairs Department, and the Yushitai were all gathered in the Political Affairs Hall in the Inner Dynasty, a notice was issued: "I ordered the Yushili Branch of Xijing to take over the imperial palace. Regarding the reconstruction of Zuotufang, and as soon as the supervisory manager was contacted, he left immediately."
This somewhat puzzling notice was delivered to the underground office of Xijingli Xingyuan; even as the high-level officials were busy making unexplained speculations. Finally, it was Deputy Supervisor Yu Cong who said unintentionally: "Could it be that the Supervisor is too busy?"
But in any case, along with this notice, there were also approval documents from the Yushitai and the young Yushi Lixing; they were like energetic hounds, supervising a team sent by the Lixingyuan Another group of sergeants rushed towards the mansions and offices everywhere according to the map.
And in the eyes of those who were frightened, vigilant, awed, and panic-stricken, they led the crowd into the house, shouting and swarming, and took away the suspects listed on the list one by one in public, or in the presence of a few who briefly resisted. After a fierce fight with him, he was dragged out tied up.
In the midst of this chaotic and busy city. Jiang Tian, who was directly named by Zhengshitang, took the time to revisit his hometown and arrived at Youtufang a few years later. In the misty breeze and drizzle of summer, Jiang Tian looked at the vaguely familiar archway and couldn't help but have mixed feelings about the scene.
However, except for the outer walls, watchtowers and towers, they seemed to be relatively intact; the inside was still a large area of burnt ruins. And after several years, not much has been rebuilt; there are only some ruins that have been cleared, and shacks built haphazardly on the spot.
Between the archway and the square gate, there are already a group of police officers/bad guys in soap clothes and black hats, Wuhou in brown shirts, and Jinwu patrolmen in scarlet robes and hats; arranged in order from front to back. Into three formations. Led by several officials in blue robes, they stood in the misty rain and waited for a long time.
Obviously, these are the manpower currently maintaining Youtufang, and they are also the ones who will accept the jurisdiction of Xijingli Xingyuan in the future. It's just that Jiang Tian came as a prisoner waiting to be pardoned; now he has returned as a Shangguan with full power, which means that he is returning home in high spirits.
