The Golden Age Chapter 455: Inner House Female Officials

In the corner of the Imperial Study Room, there are two bronze cranes, with sandalwood burning inside, and curling green smoke wafts from the crane's mouth.

Sandalwood can be condensed, but Dou Fan is mentally nervous at the moment, cold sweat is already oozing from the back of his erect neck, and respectfully said: "The Wudefang warehouse has always been managed by the Department of Treasury. The minister had neglected to intervene until today It was only after the incident that there were residual knives in the warehouse, and the crime of oversight cannot be forgiven."

"I didn't say to forgive you." The saint said lightly: "I asked you how these weapons can enter Wudefang?"

"Return to the Lord, the vehicles in Wudefang must have an official letter from the Department of Library Department." Dou Wei cautiously said: "The weapons cast in the Forge Workshop will be transported to Wudefang by the Department of Library Department. The official letter stamped by the chief of the Treasury Department can be deposited in the warehouse."

The saint said calmly: "So these remnant knives entered the warehouse under the operation of the Treasury Department." The saint looked at Dou Yan indifferently, and his profound eyes held a trace of coldness in the calm.

"Yes!" Dou Wei cannot deny it.

The saint calmly said: "Forging weapons is the responsibility of the Department of Military Weapons of the Ministry of Industry, so this batch of remnant knives of the Department of Military Weapons of the Ministry of Industry is naturally clear." Apply?"

"Returning to the sage, Wu Defang is the imperial ordnance center. The weapons stored in it are used to protect the peace of the world in Datang." The state minister's voice was low and slow: "This matter naturally involves many officials. , But whoever is involved must be thoroughly investigated to the end. The Ministry of Industry’s Armament Department and the Department of Hyobu’s Treasury Department are the first two yamen. In addition, whether the Ministry of Households is involved, it must be investigated in detail and how many people are involved. Just investigate as many people as possible and never condone."

"Dou Fan, where is the chief of the Treasury Department now?" the saint asked.

Dou Fan immediately said: "Returning to the Lord, the head of the Treasury Department, Han Zhou, was guarded by the minister. The minister ordered him to write down everything he knew in detail and submit it to the palace."

The sage pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mei'er, draw up a decree to order Dali Temple to investigate the case, and immediately put the three directors of the Department of Hubu Branch, the Ministry of Industry and Weaponry, and the Hyobu Treasury Department under the supervision of Dali Temple. Let Dali Temple Qing Suyu will present the three people's confession to the palace tomorrow."

"According to the order!" Meier said respectfully, but still asked softly: "Sage, the interrogation of the chief of the three divisions, is the time for a day too tight?"

"The confession cannot be submitted within a day. Su Yu can resign and return to his hometown." The saint said indifferently: "If the three directors cannot truthfully confess within a day, they will be transferred directly to the Criminal Ministry and handed over to Lu. Junzhong."

Meier replied: "Meier understands."

Long Sun Mei is the maidservant in the house next to the saint. The most important duty is to write the will according to the saint's will. Therefore, most of the wills issued from the palace are written by Chang Sun Mei.

Being able to hold this position is certainly loved and trusted by the saint, but his own talent is also indispensable.

The level of the female official in the inner house is not high, but everyone who understands the affairs of the palace knows that this gentle and moving female official in the palace does not appear to be a female official, but she is definitely by the side of a saint. One of the most important figures.

Dou Yan was a little surprised.

The saint was able to instantly understand that the case was related to the three divisions. It was a matter of course, but he ordered Dali Temple to investigate the case, which was really beyond Dou Wei's expectation.

Since the saint’s accession to the throne, the first choice for cases in Kyoto is to be investigated by the Ministry of Justice. The power of Dali Temple is getting weaker and weaker. When talking about Dali Temple, they all smiled indifferently. Of course, a Qingshui Yamen who does not have much power in Dali Temple will not let any life show respect

Or fear.

In this case, half of the yamen involved in Shangshu Province were involved, and there were three divisions who were directly involved. It was obviously much more serious than the previous Fan Wenzheng case. It stands to reason that this case should be done by the Criminal Ministry. However, the sage ordered Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly. Dou Wei really didn’t know the saint’s thoughts for a while.

"When I summoned Xue Ke to use, I promised him that the Yuzhou camp was effective in suppressing the bandits. You can bring up whatever you lack." The saint's voice is peaceful, although this case will surely cause a huge storm. But the saint is always the ruler, and his emotions are not much ups and downs: "He went to the Ministry of War to receive weapons. I promised. It's just that...I want to know how Xue Keyong received it from the armory. When he arrived at the remnant knife, after he discovered it, why did he open the box on Suzaku Street to make everyone know?"

Dou Yan lowered his head and did not dare to speak, and the Guoxiang sitting beside him said solemnly: "The saint asks, what do you know and what to say, if you conceal it, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Dou Fan hurriedly said: "The minister found out that Xue Ke could receive the residual knife when he used it in the weapon store. It was because the Department of Armament Department ordered Qin Xiao to find the residual knife first, but then he deliberately let Xue Ke use know this. After learning about the incident, Xue Keyong deliberately transported the remnant knife to Suzaku Street."

"In that case, Qin Xiao and Xue Ke used to make the matter public?" When the saint and the courtier spoke, their voices were always calm, so it was difficult for the courtiers to understand the saint's emotions.

However, Dou Yan faintly heard a hint of displea The batch of remnant knives were transported to the front of the Yamen of the Ministry of War. The minister thought...!" Having said this, he finally did not dare to continue.

"Why do you think?"

"The minister thought...Qin Xiao deliberately wanted to expose this matter, but Xue Keyong deliberately wanted to make this matter known to everyone." Dou Yan cautiously said: "These two people are both. Regardless of the overall situation, the minister...1"

Without waiting for him to speak, the saint chuckled softly: "Do you think they are disregarding the overall situation? Dou Aiqing, in your opinion, what is the overall situation?"

Dou Yan was startled, how dare to speak more, the saint sighed softly and asked again: "Qin Xiao you said, but the one who beat the drum in front of the Xing Department last time?"

"Returning sage, this is the person." The state minister finally said: "The former Han Yunong was detained by the Ministry of War, and Qin Xiao was helpless, so he rode a cart and beat the drum in front of the Office of the Criminal Ministry. After Fan Wenzheng's case, Han Yunong was detained. The Ministry of War was transferred to serve under Pei Xiaogong, and Qin Xiao stayed in Kyoto and served as an official in the Ministry of War."

"Oh?" The saint said with a smile: "He stayed in the Ministry of War?"

The state minister hesitated, and finally said: "This is what the old minister meant."

"It was the prime minister who kept Qin Xiao in Kyoto?" The saint was a little surprised: "Why didn't he and Han Yunong be sent under Pei Xiaogong?"

Guoxiang smiled bitterly and said: "It's not all the veteran's meaning, it's really that the veteran can't hold back that girl, so he promised her and put him in the Ministry of War for training."

The saint was even more surprised, even Dou Wei was a little surprised, but didn't dare to look up.

"Is Qingcheng?" Although the saint was a little surprised, there was a slight smile on the corners of his lips: "The state minister said that the girl asked the state minister to keep Qin Xiao in Kyoto? The little girl in Xiahou's family, when will Help others find a future?"

The Guoxiang shook his head and sighed: "The saint should know that last year, the prison guard in purple clothes, Xiao Jianzhi, went to Xiling to do a job. After the girl knew about it, she was entangled to go to Xiling with Xiao Jianzhi to meet the world. She promised that she changed her way to the palace and begged the saint’s will. The veteran had no choice but to let her follow.

Get up. "

The grandson Mei smiled beside him: "Did the saint forget? Miss Qingcheng arrived in the palace and soaked for several hours. At first, the saint worried about her safety, but didn't agree. In the end, he couldn't make an appointment with her for three chapters. Finally, she was allowed to go with Jian Xiao Wei."

The saint smiled, with a rare hint of kindness in his eyes, and smiled and said: "I remember. This is also to blame for me. When Xiao Jianzhi entered the palace, the girl waited by my side and heard Xiao Jianzhi was going to Xiling, so he was born with thoughts. However, she stayed in Kyoto all year round, and it would be nice to go out to meet the world."

"She was in Xiling, but some minor incidents occurred, and she was sent back by Xiao Wei early." Lao Guoxiang sighed: "When she was in Zhen County, she sneaked out and encountered a little trouble, which happened to happen. Qin Xiao, who was still working in the turtle city at the time, had been thinking about this kindness after Qin Xiao rescued her. Qin Xiao played the drum at the torture department, which made everyone in Kyoto know that the girl also got the news, so she had to entangle her. The old official arranged an errand for Qin Xiao to repay Qin Xiao’s kindness that day. The old official felt that Qin Xiao was courageous and intelligent, so he wanted to keep him in the Ministry of War. The court has trained a talented person."

The saint smiled and said: "So, it's no wonder that he will stay in Kyoto. However, that little girl knows the gratitude to report, that is also true and righteous."

"The old minister thought that he would be an honest errand in the Ministry of War, and no longer need to be entangled by a girl." The Guoxiang smiled bitterly: "Who knew that Qin Xiao took care of the warehouse, but he still made this stall. This is not the case. Said he was wrong, but this kind of thing, if it can be solved quietly, it will be better than the current situation."

"Why does Qin Xiao want to expose this?" The saint's smile seemed to be a casual question.

Guo Xiang didn't speak, Dou Wei tried to lighten his breath as much as possible.

"The state minister does not want to say, then Dou Aiqing will talk about it." The saint's indifferent gaze fell on Dou Yan, who was crawling on the ground: "Since he is working in the Ministry of War, you, the minister of the Ministry of War, don't know the thoughts of your subordinates. ?"

Dou Yan said carefully: "The minister dare not assert, but...the minister thinks he may have deliberately wanted to disturb the Ministry of War. He was originally a night crow under the command of General Kuroba, looking at General Kuroba. He was killed in Xiling, and the cause of the killing of General Black Feather was related to the fact that the Ministry of War did not transfer the Longevity Army to Xiling in time. Therefore, the minister thought that Qin Xiao had a grievance against the Ministry of War. This time he found a chance to make the Ministry of War face disgraced. , Even...someone is severely punished for this, and that is the result he is willing to see."

"Are you saying that he is retaliating against the Ministry of War?" the saint asked lightly.

Dou Yan hurriedly said: "This is just a random guess of the minister, I dare not...I dare not be sure."

"Meier, do you think Dou Shangshu's guess is correct?" The saint withdrew his gaze from Dou Yan.

The grandson Mei understands what the saint means. She asked like this, not really asking if she agrees with Dou Yan's views, but just letting herself say what she thought in her heart. This gentle and moving palace lady did not hesitate, respectfully Said: "The Changsheng Army did not transfer out of the customs. It is indeed the fault of the Ministry of War. The criminal officer Fan Wenzheng has also been punished. This has given the world an explanation, and naturally it also gave Qin Xiao and all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty an explanation. Meier I thought that Qin Xiao had been in the west and was a soldier, and he was most considerate of the situation of the soldiers at the border. He found the remnant knife in the armory. As a soldier, it was difficult to control the anger in his heart, and he didn't want anyone to harm the soldier. So I found the opportunity to expose the interests of those soldiers who were fighting for Datang’s blood." He glanced at Dou Yan, his pink cheeks were calm and steady, and his voice was soft: "Mei'er thought that Qin Xiao was just doing his best. The ability to do what should be done is not because of resentment towards the Ministry of War."
