my wife is mulan

Chu Yuan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it is reasonable for His Majesty not to accept His Highness's recommendation. After all, I am a son-in-law of the Southern Dynasty, and I have only come to Chang'an for a short time. , if I use another method to get on the official career, I think His Majesty and the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty should have no reason to object, but I need to ask His Highness for help in this matter!"

Zhao Ting hurriedly asked, "I don't know what to do?"

"I heard that Dagan's imperial examinations are prosperous, if I pass the imperial examinations, what does your Highness think?"

Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and clapped his hands together: "Ha, this strategy is very good! With Brother Chu's talents and knowledge, wouldn't it be easy to get a Jinshi in the imperial examination? This imperial examination is a national policy appointed by the emperor. Presumably I can no longer object to giving Brother Chu an official position, right? Hahaha..."

But Chu Yuan said again: "Your Highness, I heard that taking the imperial examination requires a large household registration..."

"Hey, what is the king doing? It turns out that it is a matter of household registration. This matter is easy to handle. In another day, the king will send someone to say hello to the Wannian County Government. The king will personally act as a guarantor. There must be no problem!"

"That's it, I thank Your Highness, and I respect Your Highness for a cup!"

At this time, a guard came in and whispered something in Zhao Ting's ear. Zhao Ting's face changed, and he nodded, and nodded to a few of his servants: "Sirs, wait for a while. Come!"

The guests stood up and saluted one after another: "Your Highness is not in a hurry, I will wait for Your Highness!"

Guided by the guards, Zhao Ting came to the inner hall, only to see a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes facing the gate with his back.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned around immediately, seeing that it was Zhao Ting, he bowed and said, "Wang Tanzhi has seen His Highness!"

Zhao Ting asked suspiciously, "Aren't you sent to the Western Regions for business?"

Wang Tanzhi sighed: "Your Highness really thinks that His Majesty sent Wang to the Western Regions on business is his real purpose?"

"What do you mean? Say it clearly!"

"Going to the Western Regions to establish a branch of the court case does not need Wang, the court chief, to go there in person. It is enough to send a random chief. At that time, Wang thought it was strange, but the sacred order is hard to violate, and Wang can only obey it!"

"But before Wang set off, the more he thought about it, the more he thought something was wrong, so he left his confidant to wait for the lawsuit to watch secretly. If something happened, he asked him to send a message to me quickly. Who knew that things turned out as I expected, so I went to Tianshui I heard nearby that Si Cheng Jia Yue investigated the files that His Majesty asked Wang to investigate, and even took out His Majesty's imperial gold medal, it is obvious that His Majesty no longer trusts Wang!"

Zhao Ting frowned: "Father just came back from Jiangxia City not long ago, so he shouldn't have doubts about you. Did you do something to arouse his suspicion?"

Wang Tanzhi said: "It's not impossible. Your Majesty's eyes and ears are all over the world. Even in the court case, I don't know how many people are directly planted by His Majesty. Some of Wang's actions may arouse His Majesty's suspicion!"

"One more thing. After Wang left, His Majesty sent Jia Yue to check the relevant files again. Before Wang left, he had tampered with His Highness's files because there were records of Wang's contact with His Majesty. If Jia Yue After checking His Highness's file, I'm afraid that if there is a problem, Wang may arouse Jia Yue's suspicion, and if Jia Yue reports this matter to His Majesty, His Majesty will be even more suspicious of Wang!"

Zhao Ting was a little anxious: "You are too reckless in doing this. Even if you do something wrong, others won't be able to find out? Wouldn't it be better if you burned all the files?"

Wang Tanzhi said: "There is no other way for Wang. I always have a sense of luck in my heart. After all, only I can enter the Tianzihao archives. If there is no order from His Majesty, no one else can read the files! And Your Highness said it would be better to burn all the files. You said it easily. That day, not everyone can approach and enter the archives of the name. After burning the files, does Your Highness think that Wang will be safe and sound? Even if it is someone else What you did, I, the Secretary, will also be held accountable, waiting for the lawsuit is related to the safety of the court, it is no small matter, how could His Majesty expose the matter so easily?"

Zhao Ting pondered for a while, and asked: "Then why did you go and come back this time..."

Wang Tanzhi said: "It's hard for outsiders to get a glimpse into the affairs of the waiting court. I came back this time to see what's going on inside the waiting court. I still have some cronies and confidantes in the waiting court. It's okay to ask them for details. It's very easy. If I can't get a foothold in the lawsuit, I also hope to secretly win over some people to continue working for His Highness. If there is any action in the lawsuit in the future, or if His Majesty has any special intentions, I will receive news in time, and I can serve for you. Your Highness's decision-making provides a reference!"

Zhao Ting thought about it for a while, and agreed: "Okay, you can stay in this palace for a while! Come and prepare a room!"

"promise!"

As night fell, every household in Chang'an City began to set off firecrackers. Tonight is New Year's Eve, the last day of the year, and one of the busiest periods of the entire Spring Festival holiday.

All the yamen of the Dagan imperial court have been closed for bathing, and the officials on duty have been released. Everyone has gone home to celebrate the New Year, and waiting for lawsuits may be the latest yamen to have a holiday.

Cui Ren, head of the Department of Litigation and State Affairs, pushed open the door with a tired face, turned around and closed the door, and there was the sound of crackling firecrackers from the neighbor's house next door.

"New Year's Eve!" Cui Ren muttered to himself, shaking his head and walking through the courtyard towards the front hall under the thick snow.

The benefits of waiting for the lawsuit are very good. As the head of the Bingzhou Department, this is the house allocated to him by the Yamen.

After entering the house, Cui Ren closed the door behind his back, took out a fire pocket from his pocket, took off the sleeve and blew on it. The fire pocket gave off a faint light, and he walked to the table with the faint light and lit the oil lamp.

There was a brazier by the wall. He first lifted the bamboo basket and poured some charcoal into the brazier, then poured some kerosene on the charcoal, lit it with toilet paper and ignited the kerosene.

As the charcoal in the brazier began to burn, the room became warmer and brighter.

His stomach was already rumbling and growling, Cui Ren got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook a delicious meal, drink a few taels of good wine, and let himself have a good year. No matter what happened, this day always passed.

At this moment, Cui Ren stopped his movements suddenly, and a figure was sitting on the stool beside the table. He turned his head slowly, only to find that the person sitting on the stool turned out to be Wang Tanzhi.

Cui Ren's expression changed, and he stammered: "Si, Si Zheng...how are you..."

Wang Tanzhi smiled and said, "Are you surprised that I have already gone to the Western Regions, why did you suddenly appear at your house?"

Cui Ren saw that Wang Tanzhi could still laugh, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and his heart was also extremely contradictory. Just this morning, Jia Yue, the prime minister waiting for the lawsuit, called all the officials above the principal to announce the emperor's will Because Wang Tanzhi deceived the emperor, he and his entourage were dismissed from all official positions, and Jia Yue acted as the official position. Waiting for the court to arrest Wang Tanzhi and his party with all their strength, if they encounter stubborn resistance, they will all be killed, regardless of life or death.

In order to find out the whereabouts of Wang Tanzhi and his entourage as soon as possible, Jia Yue even issued a major reward, one hundred guan (equivalent to 10 yuan); Those who are successful will be rewarded with three hundred guan, and the officials who lead the team will be promoted to a higher level.

At this time, if he tries to stabilize Wang Tanzhi first, and then finds an excuse to slip out and report the letter, he will have a hundred guan in his pocket!Find a way to get Wang Tanzhi drunk or fascinated, and then tie him up, get [-] pens plus a promotion, what a temptation!

Chapter 1076 The Truth

Cui Ren thought about it for a second, Wang Tanzhi personally set up the waiting lawsuit, and he and many other officials who are now in charge of the first level were trained by Wang Tanzhi himself, playing tricks and tricks in front of Wang Tanzhi ?I'm afraid that Wang Tanzhi will notice and counterattack him before he makes a move.

Cui Ren recalled how down and out he was at the beginning, if Wang Tanzhi hadn't taken him into the waiting court, cultivated him himself, and vigorously promoted him, where would Cui Ren be today?I'm afraid he would have frozen to death in the ice and snow long ago. If he sold him ungratefully, he might be rich and prosperous, and his life would be difficult after that. Who in the yamen would dare to associate with an ungrateful person like him?

Cui Ren hurried to the door, opened it and looked around, and closed the door again when he saw nothing unusual, turned around and let out a long breath.

Seeing this, Wang Tanzhi asked calmly, "Why are you so nervous? Could it be that something happened inside the waiting court when the officer is not here for the past few days?"

Cui Ren stomped his feet and looked anxious: "My lord Sizheng, why do you dare to come back to Chang'an? Do you know that Hou Jusi has issued an order to arrest you with all his strength, and Jia Yue has also gone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I'm afraid that after the first day of the first lunar month, those on duty at the Ministry of Criminal Justice will also be sent to arrest the public!"

Wang Tanzhi's expression changed, he forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and asked, "Did the emperor give the order?"

"Well, the edict came down. Sizheng and those who accompanied him were all dismissed from all official positions. Jia Yue was appointed as the acting Sizheng. He was ordered to take over all the affairs of the court, and ordered the court to arrest Sizheng and others with all their strength. Life or death! In order to arrest Si Zheng and others as soon as possible, Jia Yue issued a huge reward, as long as Si Zheng and others show up, they will definitely be targeted!"

The seriousness of the situation was beyond Wang Tanzhi's imagination. On the way back to Chang'an from Tianshui, he was still thinking that he had no credit or hard work in setting up the pending lawsuit. Even if Zhao Junsheng became suspicious of him, he should not easily move him , at least not so fast, someone must be sent to investigate clearly, right?

But he underestimated how much Zhao Junsheng attached importance to waiting for the lawsuit. For the three intelligence offices that are directly responsible to Zhao Junsheng, the Black Yiwei, Waiting for the lawsuit, and Huangcheng Division, this is one of the last trump cards for guarding the world. Zhao Junsheng's eyes and ears, a person who is blind cannot see anything, and a person who is deaf cannot hear.

If even the intelligence department is out of control, Zhao Junsheng becomes blind and deaf, how can he tolerate it?Heiyiwei, Houjusi, and Huangchengsi must be absolutely loyal, otherwise he would rather abolish and disband than feed a tiger!Even if this is no longer under his control, the former Sizheng has already thrown himself into the arms of his son.

Wang Tanzhi's heart is in a mess, is he going to die from now on?What to do at home?

"By the way, how is my family now?"

"Jia Yue only ordered Sizheng and the others, and it didn't do any harm to Sizheng and the others' family members. My sister-in-law and the others are all fine!"

Wang Tanzhi felt relieved, he still trusted Cui Ren, and Cui Ren would not deceive him with false news.

"What charges did the emperor and Jia Yue accuse me of?"

"It's better to bully the king!"

Wang Tanzhi said: "What else do you know?"

Cui Ren shook his head: "The other subordinates don't know about it. Jia Yue is very secretive these days, and everyone in the Yamen is very nervous. No one dares to ask more, lest they be regarded as Sizheng's accomplices."
