The officials of the Ministry of War were certainly astonished, but even Qin Xiao also found it unbelievable.
"Qin Shaoqing, hurry up and accept the order." Dou Fan turned around and saw that Qin Xiao was a little startled, so he called out hurriedly.
Qin Xiao came back to his senses and received the order to express his gratitude. General Shiren smiled and said: "Congratulations to Qin Shaoqing. You can clean up the Ministry of War before heading to Dali Temple to take up the post."
Qin Xiaowu thought it was unbelievable, so he sent Tongshiren out, took out a one hundred tael silver note and stuffed it into Tongshiren's hand. Tongshiren was startled, but Qin Xiao already chuckled and said: "Please give me this little money, father-in-law."
Let’s have a cup of tea with some brothers, I hope you don’t dislike it.”
After all, Qin Xiao had lived in Turtle City and knew these people were sophisticated.
Eunuch Wei only felt that Qin Xiao was young and naturally did not have much money on him. It was already a big deal to be able to take out a hundred taels of silver. He put it into his sleeves and said with a smile: "The Za family is ashamed to receive it. Qin Shaoqing, no
When you reach the age of twenty, you will be able to hold the position of Shaoqing. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, you have been a very rare person, which shows how much the saint values you. If you do your job well, you will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Except for the appointment of many trusted officials when the saint ascended the throne, many people were promoted quickly at that time. However, after the court stabilized, such direct promotions to several levels almost never happened, and the positions of officials in various bureaucracies remained stable.
, it is not easy to move up a level.
To be promoted from the seventh rank to the fourth rank, even for ordinary officials, it may not be possible to achieve it after twenty years.
However, Qin Xiao only worked as an errand in the Yamen of the Ministry of War for only a short period of time. He was directly promoted to Dali Temple as Shaoqing before his buttocks were even hot. At this rate, he would probably continue to be promoted in a few years.
Qin Xiao thanked him with a smile, bid farewell to Tongshi Shiren, and returned to the courtyard of the Ministry of War. Before the officials dispersed, Dou Fu also came up and said with a smile: "Qin Shaoqing, the saint's kindness to you is extremely great."
It's rare that I also want to congratulate you."
The other officials all smiled and congratulated Qin Xiao one after another.
The fourth-rank Shaoqing was not actually a high-ranking official in the court, but these officials all understood that Qin Xiao was promoted from the seventh-rank to the fourth-rank, and was directly promoted to Dali Temple Shaoqing at the age of less than twenty years old.
This is really an extremely rare thing. The position of Shaoqing may not be that great, but the speed of his rise is really astonishing. This also shows that the saint has a fancy for Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao also raised his hands and said: "Although I have been in the Ministry of War for a short period of time, I have received the care of the Ministry and all the adults. I am really grateful. Although I went to Dali Temple this time, I dare not forget the care of all the adults.
"
"Master Deng, although we are reluctant to leave Qin Shaoqing when he is transferred to Dali Temple, we can't block Qin Shaoqing's future." Dou Fan said with a smile: "Well, let's hold a farewell banquet for Qin Shaoqing. You go and prepare it. In the Yamen
All officials, big and small, must participate.”
Before Deng Taichu agreed, Qin Xiao had already said: "Master, there is really no need to work so hard."
The officials of the Ministry of War originally did not pay attention to a small official like Qin Xiao, but now they knew that this inconspicuous official had some shitty luck to be so loved by the saint, and he would do whatever he wanted.
Congratulations on the face.
"Qin Shaoqing, you went to Dali Temple, but don't forget that you were born in our military department." Deng Taichu, the assistant minister, looked reluctant at this moment: "Although you are young, you are extremely smart and capable. The military master wanted to
You train hard in the Ministry of War and you will be able to stand on your own in the future. Who knows you will be gone much faster than we thought."
Dou Fu said with a smile: "Master Deng is right. I really want to train you, but since the saint has transferred you to Dali Temple, I can't force you to stay. Qin Shaoqing, you are from the Ministry of War. If you need help from the Ministry of War in the future,
Wherever you are, feel free to come to us, and if we can help, we will do our best.”
Dali Temple is actually also on Zhuque Street, but the yamen are located on the streets of Zhuque Street. The location is not good, and the door is not big. Over the years, many of the powers of Dali Temple have been taken away by the Ministry of Punishment, so among the many yamen on Zhuque Street,
It truly belongs to a lonely place.
Qin Xiao spent a day in the palace yesterday, but a lot of things happened outside the palace.
The three officers in charge, Han and Zhou, were identified as the masterminds of the arms case, while Sinong Feng, the young minister of Dali Temple, was dismissed from his post as young minister on the same day and transferred to Jingzhou. Therefore, the post of young minister was left vacant.
One day, the palace issued a decree ordering Qin Xiao to fill the vacancy left by Si Nongfeng.
Mobilize the crowd." He stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The arms case has just been concluded, and the final result is still unclear. At this time, the Ministry of War should keep a low profile. If there is too much noise, the palace will know about it, and it seems that the Ministry will be concerned about it.
Sir, this is not a good thing."
Dou Fan's heart trembled, he nodded slightly and said, "Qin Shaoqing is more thoughtful. Well, I owe you this meal. I will make up for it after a while."
The officials of the Ministry of War bid farewell to Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao actually had nothing to deal with, so he went directly to Dali Temple to take up his post that day.
There are not many things to do, which means that you will not make mistakes. At this age, you water the flowers and drink tea in the yamen every day, and you also get a salary every month. Because the family is indifferent, you are extremely free.
Although Lu Junzhong of the Ministry of Punishment had great power in the matter of criminal names, he also made too many enemies because of handling too many cases and became a thorn in the side of many people. Su Yu sometimes thought that Dali Temple was ignored by others, so it might not be the same.
It's a good thing. In the situation of overt and covert warfare, Dali Temple will suffer much less wind and rain.
The ordnance case was thrown into Dali Temple, which really made Su Yu panic. He even had the illusion at first that this was the saint's intention to use Dali Temple to check and balance the excessive power of the Ministry of Punishment.
In fact, Dali Temple also received news that Qin Xiao was filling the vacancy. This kind of personnel arrangement was originally a normal thing, but when it was Qin Xiao who filled the vacancy, things became unusual.
Su Yu, the minister of Dali Temple, has been in Qingshui Yamen for many years. He is nearly sixty years old and actually has no hope for his own future. Over the years, Dali Temple has no power and has always cooperated with the Ministry of Punishment.
For Su Yu, he would never touch things that he could ignore. He would also leave things to be handled by his subordinates in Dali Temple, and he would be happy and carefree.
Although she has little power in her hands, Su Yu has been relatively satisfied with her situation over the years.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief after receiving such instructions, and finally realized that throwing the arms case to Dali Temple did not actually give Dali Temple a chance to regain its reputation. It was just that the palace did not want the case to expand.
So Su Yu gave up all other thoughts in an instant, knowing that her best choice was to stay in Dali Temple and stay on her own terms.
Su Yu really didn't expect that Qin Xiao would fill the vacancy left by Sinong Feng as a young minister.
Su Yu is not someone who is indifferent to fame and fortune. He was content with the status quo before just because he was unable to change everything.
When an opportunity presented itself, he really wanted to perform well.
However, Han Zhou and three others died of poison. Su Yu knew that something was wrong. She was panic-stricken and even worried that she would not even be able to secure her official position. However, Zhongshu directly wanted to bring the minister of state. The ordnance case was reported to Han.
The three main culprits closed the case during the day. As for the fault of the three people's death in Dali Temple, it was directly placed on Sinongfeng's head.
Su Yu was kind and friendly. Compared with the officials in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice, he had no official airs at all. This made Qin Xiao feel very comfortable. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The official is transferred to Dali Temple and works under the command of the Lord. I am lucky for the rest of my life. The official
I don’t know anything about the situation in Dali Temple, so in the future, if you have any orders from your lord, your subordinates should just follow your wishes."
"Don't worry, there are not as many things going on in Dali Temple as you think." Su Yu said with a smile: "When the Tang Dynasty was founded, criminal prosecution cases in various states were submitted to the Ministry of Punishment for review. If the Ministry of Punishment felt that
If there is no problem, it will be submitted to Dali Temple for review. After a strict review, Dali Temple will make a final decision if there are no problems. In addition, if it is found that the case is doubtful, Dali Temple can send it back to the local government for a new trial, or even
You can directly send someone to intervene in the case." He raised his hand and said sympathetically: "Without Gou Zhu from Dali Temple, neither the Ministry of Punishment nor the local justice department has the authority to execute prisoners."
Qin Xiao thought to himself that from this point of view, the power of the Dali Temple was really quite considerable.
But one thing he thought coincided with everyone in the Ministry of War, and that was that Qin Xiao was promoted from a small official to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Of course, the saint valued Qin Xiao very much as a young man and looked at the court.
There is really no less than two
Qin Xiao is the only ten-year-old fourth-grade official.
So when Qin Xiao was brought to him, Su Yu immediately had a smile on his face. Not only did he let Qin Xiao sit down, but he also asked someone to make tea and said with a smile: "We have received news that Qin Shaoqing will come to replace Sinong."
The vacancy left by Feng. What Dali Temple lacks are young officials like you who dare to take action. I am already old, and I am not as energetic as you young people. Therefore, young people like you should take more responsibility for the errands in the yamen in the future.
.”
"Xiaguan doesn't know how to grow flowers, and his chess skills are mediocre." Qin Xiao said: "But there is something I want to ask you, sir."
"But it doesn't matter." Su Yu smiled.
"You can say it like this." Su Yu nodded slightly: "So there is nothing important at ordinary times. You can just come here every day and have a chat. Someone will take care of the specific things. By the way, what are Qin Shaoqing's hobbies? For example, playing chess to support yourself.
Flowers and the like, working as an errand at Dali Temple, it’s good to have a hobby to pass the time, otherwise it would be a bit difficult.”
"But today is different from the past." Su Yu sighed: "Now the decision-making power of criminal cases has been with the Ministry of Punishment. After they finalize the case, it is just a formality to send it to Dali Temple. We only have two main things to do.
, one is Gou Zhu to supervise execution, and the other is to preserve criminal case files. After the results of local cases are heard, the Ministry of Punishment will make a sentencing decision, and then send the case file over. We Gou Zhu, that is, the case is closed.
If criminals are to be imprisoned in prison to serve their sentences, they can be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. If they are to be executed, we are responsible for cooperating with the Ministry of Punishments to supervise and execute the murderers. In addition, the files of large and small cases will be kept in our Dali Temple, so our cases in Datang,
The archives can be found in Dali Temple."
Qin Xiao knew that the Ministry of Punishment was extremely powerful. After listening to what Su Yu said, he knew that the Ministry of Punishment had indeed taken away many powers from Dali Temple. He also knew that the Ministry of Punishment would not have such power if it were not for the permission of the palace. He asked: "Sir,
Are you saying that our Dali Temple has nothing else to do except supervising executions and organizing and preserving case files?"
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then asked: "Sir, since all the files of big and small cases are archived in Dali Temple, can we also find the files related to Qingyi Hall?"
"Tsing Yi Hall?" Su Yu was startled and frowned slightly: "What files does Tsing Yi Hall have? As far as I know, Tsing Yi Hall is not involved in any cases, and the Ministry of Punishment and Kyoto Prefecture have not tried any cases related to Tsing Yi Hall.
, As long as there is no case filed for trial, or there is no result of the trial, naturally no files will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment, so naturally there will be no files left in Dali Temple." He walked to Qin Xiao, sat down on the chair next to Qin Xiao, and body
He turned slightly and lowered his voice and said: "Qin Shaoqing, I have also heard that you and Qingyi Hall seem to have some conflicts, but let me tell you, let's not get involved in the affairs of Qingyi Hall. When we are working in Dali Temple, we just need to be careful.
Just stick to one thing, that is, don’t care if the sky falls, because there will be people who will hold it up, and if they can’t hold it up, our Dali Temple won’t be able to hold it up.”
