After King Shun Wu's canonization was issued, Tianzi City became calm again. I don't know if the opponents have really given up or are brewing a bigger conspiracy.

Xie Xuan persuaded Xiao Luo to go to the palace to express his gratitude.

Xiao Luo disagreed: "If I enter the palace, he will probably faint again."

After the Double Ninth Festival, Su Changhe, who was half recovered, was dragged up by Xiao Luo to discuss matters.

"Now we have the name and the money, but we are very short of manpower."

Although there are many people in the Zhenwu Department, only Su Changhe has an overall view. Xie Jiucheng is in charge of Tianzi City, and he can handle martial arts affairs well, but he is completely unfamiliar with government affairs.

"Your Highness, I wonder if there is any conclusion about the case of the important officials of the imperial court that I submitted before?"

"While you were in bed, the head of the Xie family took Xie Chun to visit all the officials of third rank and above in the name of the palace's chief historian, but they were all rejected."

Su Changhe pondered: "Whether they are big or small, we all have leverage in our hands. Do we want to intimidate a few of them?"

Xiao Luo waved his hand to veto: "This is my next move. Before we move against them, we must have our own people to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, if the court is shut down, who will do the work?"

"Then there is only one way, let Mr. Ge become ours."

Xiao Luo nodded approvingly: "Go and ask Yang Qi for the inscription again. Tell him that the plaque for Zhenwu Division, Confucian Sword Immortal, has been written. Please ask him to inscribe it for the stable."

"yes."

This is Yang Qi's last chance. If he still refuses, Xiao Luo will replace him with a new Pavilion Boss in the shortest possible time.

Who should I replace?

Xiao Luo stared at the chessboard in front of him. The vertical and horizontal chess lines were not chess pieces, but paper figures arranged in order by departmental rank.

He held the paper figure in his hand and kept moving it on the chessboard, looking for the most suitable position.

The two men on both sides of the king were Qi Tianchen and the Grand Tutor Fan Huiming.

Left Prime Minister Yang Qi.

Right Chancellor, he thought for a long time before letting Chief Superintendent Sumire Qing go.

Left car, Lan Yuehou.

Right car, Ye Suying.

Two horses, the fragrant palm oversees the pansy fairy, the palm register oversees the pansy jade.

Double cannon, Red King Xiao Yu, White King Xiao Chong.

Five pawns crossing the river?

He smiled and placed the Shadow Sect, Changmen, Wushuang City, and Xueyun City in order.

The last one, Luo Qingyang.

None of these chess pieces can become his. Only by removing these chess pieces can he be the general.

After the chessboard was set up, he still held a paper figure in his hand and did not make a move for a long time.

Soon, Su Changhe returned from Ge Lao's mansion.

"Your Highness, Yang Qi can die."

"He is so tough, who is supporting him?"

"Since the beginning of King Bai's rule, the two have formed an alliance and wantonly plundered the people's wealth and money, especially embezzling river funds, causing floods in the south of the Yangtze River every year."

Xiao Luo took Yang Qi's paper figurine off the chessboard and pushed Zhang Changqing, the official's minister, up.

Su Changhe asked doubtfully: "Zhang Changqing also rejected us, do we still want to support him?"

"Zhang Changqing has no backers, that's enough."

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Yang Qi, the elder, climbed up to look far away in the suburbs of Beijing when he accidentally fell off a cliff.

Emperor Ming ordered to suspend court for three days, and all officials mourned.

Three days later, Zhang Changqing, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, was promoted to the position of Pavilion Elder, the head of the civil service.

Liu Minzhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, succeeded him as Minister.

That night, they built the Chunhui Pavilion, and Liu Minzhi hosted a banquet for Su Changhe and Xie Chun.

"Master Commander, Master Changshi, Minzhi would like to thank His Highness for your support."

"Master Liu, His Highness asked Su to bring you a message."

"Please speak, I am all ears."

"It doesn't matter who your Highness is, Sir Liu, but as long as they are promoted by you, you have to take care of them. Their achievements are your achievements, and their faults are also your faults."

"Your subordinates must be impartial and impartial."

After drinking for three rounds, Su Changhe smiled and said: "Master Liu, do you know which official His Highness hates the most?"

Liu Changqing immediately became serious: "Please give me some advice, Commander."

"One hates officials for being corrupt and accepting bribes; the other hates officials for bullying the people."

"Yes, yes, Changqing will never dare to do it."

"His Highness often said that power should be put in a cage. Our Zhenwu Division is building a cage."

Liu Changqing broke out in a cold sweat, as if the entire small carved building had turned into a huge iron cage.

When it snowed for the first time, a man came to the door of Zhenwu Division.

He was wearing a thin green shirt, and his thin body was almost buried in the snow.

Xie Chun got the report and came out to see him.

"Who are you?"

Although the man was shivering from the cold, he tried his best to straighten his spine and said: "The former Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Luo Wenbai, would like to see King Shunwu."

"Why did you meet my prince?"

Luo Wenbo replied in a deep voice: "I am seeking an official position."

Since Yang Qi's death, the people in Tianzi City have changed randomly, with more and more people secretly showing good intentions or openly seeking refuge.

There are even more people who come directly to Zhenwu Division to recommend themselves.

Xie Chun has been practicing for several months and has a good way of dealing with these people.

He asked: "What official position do you want? And what are your advantages?"

"Lao Ge, the world."

Maybe it was because he was too cold and Luo Wenbo's teeth were chattering, but this answer shocked Xie Chun.

He has never met such a crazy person.

"Let's talk after you come in."

Regardless of whether this person is genuine or is just making up his mind, he cannot be allowed to freeze to death at the gate of the Zhenwu Division.

Xie Chun took him into the Changshi Division, made a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, and asked someone to burn a brazier.

The heat melted the ice and snow on Luo Wenbo's body, making him even more frozen.

When Xiao Luo walked in, Luo Changbai's cheeks were red and he was already running a fever.

Seeing this, Xiao Luo stretched out his palm and injected a stream of warm Qi into him, making the whole room feel like a spring day.

Soon, Luo Wenbo's clothes were dried.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"No need to mind, tell me why you were demoted?"

Before Xiao Luo came in, he had already found the resume of this junior official from the Qianren Case Sect. He had been demoted.

Dali Temple, the official office of Northern Li in charge of hearing cases in prisons, is mainly responsible for reviewing the judgments of the Ministry of Punishment, reviewing death penalty cases, etc.

The highest position is the Minister of Dali Temple, which is the third rank and the ninth rank.

Next is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a fourth-rank official.

Thirdly, the principal of Dali Temple and the chancellor of Dali Temple are both officials of the sixth rank.

According to the current system in the Northern Calendar, any major case will be tried by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, together with the censor.

Criminal law and prison litigation are the focus of Xiao Luo's concern and are also the difficulty in governing the country.

"Five years ago, the Huan River broke through its dams, causing floods in six counties in the south of the Yangtze River. 100,000 people died and millions were displaced."

"Keep talking."

"His Majesty was so angry that he arrested officials from six counties and sentenced them all to death. The matter was so important that Luo went to the Huan River to investigate in person, only to find out that all the money for river repairs over the years had been withheld by Tianzi."

Xiao Luo has already made a clear investigation into the corruption of Yang Qi's party.

"Huitian Zihou, I re-examined the case and issued arrest warrants for all those involved in corruption. This angered Yang Qi, and I was kicked out of Dali Temple before the case was over."

Xiao Luo calculated the time: "It was the year when King Bai began to supervise the country."
