Chapter 228 Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment
When Yang Xian learned that Qiao Lingze and his Hundred Pieces died tragically in the wilderness, his face became as ugly as possible.
The officials of the Ministry of Punishment currently in Luoyang are some of the officials or principals among the four departments of the Ministry of Punishment: the Punishment Department, Duguan, Bibu, and Simen. Their main task is Luoyang.
If such a big thing happened, He Zongbo, the chief of the criminal department, could only lead people to seal the scene, and then report it to the capital immediately, and the criminal department and Dali Temple would send senior officials to investigate.
Yang Jian was at the scene, watching his Bu Qu's body being covered with a straw mat. He looked at He Zongbo from the Criminal Department with a gloomy face and said:
"Where is King Qin? I was attacked, why didn't he come?"
He Zongbo hurriedly said: "Prince Qin went to the construction site in Luoyang yesterday and has not come back. He must not know about it yet."
"Don't know? Haha..." Yang Jian sneered and said, "I'll give you two days. If you can't find out this case clearly, I will do it myself."
After that, he asked Wang Shichong to lead some people to stay and watch the scene, and also ordered Li Xuandao, the prince's wine-offering, to stay with the people from the Ministry of Punishments to supervise the investigation, while he himself returned to Luoyang.
On the way, Yang Jian asked his chief minister Liu Jianzhidao: "What do you think of this matter?"
"It must be the King of Qin who did it. Qiao Ling is using the banner of the Prince of Qi's Palace. Who dares to attack and kill him?" Liu Jianzhi said: "Even if it wasn't done by the King of Qin, we will still blame the King of Qin for this matter, even if we can't find it in the future.
If there is any evidence, I will throw dirty water on him."
Zhao Yuankai, the recorder on the side, said: "I think that since we want to bring this case to the King of Qin, we should do it thoroughly. We might as well arrange it secretly and just take it seriously."
Yang Jian was stunned and said: "What's the right way to do it?"
Zhao Yuankai said: "People from the Ministry of Punishment have already investigated and found that most of the dead were wounded by swords and arrows. It can be roughly determined that the wounds were caused by horizontal knives and short crossbows. Both of these items are military items. The Yuzhou Military Mansion is currently
They were all mobilized to supervise the progress of the fortifications, and they didn’t have the guts to attack His Highness’s guards.”
"Then there is only one possibility, it is someone's private club. I think that after we return to Luoyang, we should immediately obtain the Luoyang County government's out-of-city records for the past two days. If there are no problems, then we will change the records and record them.
Write the name of King Qin’s song in it.”
"This is a very clever plan," Yang Jian nodded: "Many of Lao San's subordinates are old people who were promoted to the palace by my father. I know many of them. We must first add Pang Niu, not to mention my place.
There is a person who knows the details of the second child very well."
Chu Ji, Yang Guang's steward of the Jin Palace at that time, did not follow Yang Guang into the palace after Yang Guang became the prince because he was not a eunuch and was old, so he became Yang Zhao's steward.
Later, when Yang Zhao became the crown prince again, he thought that the second oldest son, Yang Jian, would attack the King of Jin, so he gave Chu Ji to Yang Jian. Now he is the steward of the Qi Palace.
Yang Ming may not be able to name his own song, but Chu Ji can.
"Wonderful..." Yang Xian laughed loudly and whipped up his horse whip: "Let's go back to Luoyang."
.......
The former Minister of Punishment was named Xue Wei, and he also had a younger brother named Xue Jun, who was the Minister of Punishment.
But now the Ministry of Punishment has undergone a major change.
Because Xue Wei had a close relationship with Han Wang Yang Liang, he was jealous of Emperor Yang Guang and was directly sent to Lingnan.
Xue Jun, the younger brother of the clan, was also dismissed from office. It is said that he has returned to his hometown in Hedong and is waiting to be placed in the coffin.
The current Minister of Justice is Gongyu Wenbi of Pingchang County.
There are two ministers of the Ministry of Justice, one is named Liang Bi and the other is named Wei Wensheng.
Hou Liangbi of Handan County was the one who filed a complaint against Yang Su in front of Yang Jian. He made a small complaint every two days and one complaint every five days, which directly caused Yang Su to leave the center and go home to stay.
He is also the only one besides Gao Jiong who dares to fight against Yang Su.
Liang Bi had a total of eight sons, the fourth of whom was an adopted son, adopted from his younger brother Liang Ding who had died early. His adopted son became extremely famous in the late Sui Dynasty and was proclaimed emperor. His name was Liang Shidu.
.
Logically speaking, Yang Guang would never use this person again, but instead of being abandoned, he was promoted. I am afraid only Yang Guang knows the deeper meaning.
Another Wei Wensheng, the famous Wei Xuan, served as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice during the Kaihuang period, and was later released as the general manager of Suizhou. He was responsible for pacifying the rebellion of the Xue people and pacifying Yizhou, which is Sichuan.
After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he recruited him back to the dynasty and served as Weiwei Siqing, general of the right collar and left and right, and minister of the Ministry of punishment.
In other words, Yu Wenbi, the minister, was nominally in charge of Liang Bi and Wei Xuan, but in fact, neither of them took him seriously.
Dali Temple has also changed its staff.
The original minister of Dali Temple was Pei Ju, who has now gone to Zhangye.
Originally, Shaoqing Pei Yun, as the emperor's favorite, should be in the position, but it is a pity that the chair under his butt has not moved.
The airborne Qing of Dali Temple was from the Zheng family in Xingyang. His name was Zheng Shanguo. He became the Duke of Kaifeng County at the age of nine. His father, Zheng Cheng, was a general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and died in the battle while helping Yang Jian to conquer Wei Chijiong's rebellion. His mother was born in the Cui family of Qinghe.
Therefore, Zheng Shanguo was greatly favored by Yang Jian. At the age of twelve, he was granted the title of Duke of Wude County. At the age of fourteen, he became the governor of Yizhou (Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province). He is only thirty-seven years old this year.
The most remarkable thing about this person in history is that in history, Yang Guang issued an edict to select twenty-seven people to become monks through examination, and the examiner was Zheng Shanguo.
He made an exception and asked Chen Yi, a novice monk who had already become a monk, to take the exam and pass it successfully. This Chen Yi will become a super big man in the history books who will be as famous as Yang Guang or even more famous. His dharma name is Xuan.
stout.
Dali Temple Minister Zheng Shanguo, Shaoqing Pei Yun, but the other Shaoqing was not Zhao Chuo.
Zhao Chuo has returned home seriously ill and does not have much time left. The person who succeeds him is named Yang Wang. He is from the Yang family of Hongnong, not from the clan, but from Yang Su's side.
Yang Wang is not famous in history, but he has a great-grandson named Yang Xuanyan, who gave birth to a daughter named Yang Yuhuan.
Ordinary families cannot produce super beauties, but Yang Yuhuan is from the orthodox Hongnong Yang family.
The murder of a staff member of Prince Qi's palace is not a trivial matter.
After the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple received the news, they first reported it to Emperor Yang Guang, and then sent Liang Bi, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Yang Wang, the young minister of Dali Temple, to investigate the matter thoroughly.
This piece of eucalyptus must have a result.
Daxing Palace, Liangyi Palace,
The prince Yang Zhao was sorting out the files on the side, while Yang Guang was flipping through the piles of files randomly. He made a mess here, and his son followed behind to clean it up.
"What do you think about the second child?"
Yang Zhao had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and only heard him say:
"I have already asked Yang Yue. The matter should be related to Yang Xiong's granddaughter."
Yang Yue is Yang Su's younger brother and is currently the magistrate of Wannian County. Yan Xiaotang returned to Beijing from Wannian County, so there will be records here of Yang Yue.
Yang Guang frowned and said, "Should?"
"No, no," Yang Zhao hurriedly said, "It is definitely related. I have asked Yang Xiong to inquire. I think there will be results soon."
Yang Xiong is the crown prince and tutor, so he is very close to Yang Zhao now. After all, Yang Zhao is the future heir to the throne.
Yang Guang sighed deeply, pointed not far away and said: "The third pile over there, the fourth one, is the booklet sent by the third child. Take a look for yourself."
Yang Zhao nodded, went over to pull out the booklet, and after reading it carefully, nodded and said:
"What Mingdi wants to do is to use the scientific examination to recommend a few of the Cui family's children to become officials? In exchange for food?"
Yang Guang said calmly: "Don't ask me questions, I am asking you."
"I'm wrong," Yang Zhao nodded, and continued: "There are ten examinations and two subjects. The key lies in the Jinshi. I think this is the biggest bargaining chip in exchange for food. I think it's okay.
A temporary event was held to alleviate the food shortage in Changping County."
After saying that, Yang Zhao secretly looked at his father's face. He wanted to see something in it, but he couldn't see anything.
Yang Guang added: "The third row of the bookshelf, the sixth shelf, contains the records of the late emperor's scientific examination. Take a look at it again."
Then, the chamberlain Gao Ye quickly asked someone to bring a ladder and helped Yang Zhao go up to get the book.
After Yang Zhao finished reading, Yang Guang asked again: "Comparing the two, what's the difference?"
Yang Zhao replied: "The biggest difference lies in the Jinshi subject. Once the candidates are admitted, they need to be equipped with actual positions and be reused."
"You are the prince now. Let me ask you, how many qualified people are there in each government office in the imperial city?" Yang Guang said calmly: "Tell the truth."
Yang Zhao took a deep breath and said: "Less than half of the people who are qualified are qualified."
"Then I ask you again, how should I get an official position so that I can fill the other half?" Yang Guang asked again.
Yang Zhao's mouth twitched and he didn't dare to speak.
Most of the government offices in the imperial city, from chief officials to left officials and minor officials, came from Guanzhong. The operation of the entire Sui Dynasty depended on this group of people. Naturally, there were many good and bad among them. After all, Guanzhong was just a corner of the Sui Dynasty.
However, his father seemed to want to choose talents from other places, so Yang Zhao did not dare to answer for a while.
Yang Guang sneered, glanced at his eldest son, and said:
"Take this memorial from the Third Brother back and ask the people in the East Palace to help you discuss it. In five days, I will re-open the scientific examination. With these ten subjects, I will recruit all the talents from all over the world."
Yang Zhao lowered his head and agreed softly.
What else is there to discuss? Haven't you already decided on it? Don't you just want me to make this plan public and put it forward in the court?
Just as Yang Zhao was about to leave, the servant outside the palace announced that Yang Xiong, the king of spectators, wanted to see him.
So Yang Guang asked the prince to stay temporarily and listen to what Yang Xiong had to say.
"Bring a chair to King Guan," Yang Guang raised his hand to Gao Ye beside him.
After Yang Xiong sat down, he cleared his throat, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, I am reporting that a junior member of my family was attacked together with King Qi's staff. She is the grandson of the guilty minister Yan Rong and the daughter of Wannian County Lord Bo Yan Baoshou."
"Just tell me, what does this woman have to do with you?" Yang Guang said with a smile.
Yang Xiong swallowed his saliva and said, "She is the daughter of my next daughter, Yang, and my granddaughter."
"If Taifu has already asked clearly, just say so. My father is waiting for your reply," Yang Zhao winked at Yang Xiong, meaning you don't keep waiting for my father to ask, please speak more clearly.
