Su Yu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Qin Shaoqing once served under General Heiyu. Famous generals produce great disciples. Naturally, you know what a good soldier is. You will be responsible for re-selecting the executioners." Then he frowned and said, "It's just a matter of time.
I replaced nearly two hundred good people, it seems...!"
"Of course they won't all be replaced." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "The official thinks that these two hundred people can be screened. The official will set up assessment projects, and those who can pass will be kept and trained well, and continue to work for Dali Temple.
, If you really can’t get through, then you can only ask him to find another job.”
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "This method is good. But when the time comes to supplement the punishment, where will Qin Shaoqing plan to find people?"
"The official is about to ask your Excellency, what is the origin of the punishments of Dali Temple today?"
"There are many ways for punishment officials to come." Su Yu sighed: "Although Dali Temple has not had any real power in recent years, it is still the highest judicial office in the empire. There are still many people who want to work as officials in Dali Temple. Our Dali Temple
Some of the criminal officers were recommended by the local government. They were good at arresting criminals in the local area. After passing the assessment here, they were admitted to the establishment. Some were transferred from other yamen, including those who had served in Wuwei camp and Shence.
Some of them have served in the army, and some have even stayed in the four towns in the north. In addition... Hey, some of them are relatives of other officials in the DPRK and have been sent to Dali Temple to have food."
Qin Xiao asked: "Then if we select people from Wuwei Camp or Shence Army, will they be willing to hand over people?"
"If Qin Shaoqing really wants to pick someone from the army, it won't be a problem if I say hello." Su Yu said with a smile: "Being a soldier in the army is of course not as good as being a servant in our Dali Temple. Whoever Qin Shaoqing picks, then
Whose blessing? The treatment of the executioners in Dali Temple is not even a bit better than that of soldiers."
Qin Xiao certainly knew this very well.
As a soldier in the army, if you are not promoted, you will eventually have to retire and return home. However, among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Empire, only a handful of them can be promoted.
The Dali Temple's punishment officer has the imperial establishment, and because it is backed by Dali Temple, even if he is just a punishment officer, he can still make a lot of connections. If he really retires from Dali Temple, he can be transferred to the local government to become a small military attache, or he can
If you find other jobs in Kyoto through connections, you will have almost no worries for the rest of your life.
"And this time, the saint has decreed for us to clean up Dali Temple. Even if I don't say hello, if you go to the Wuwei Camp or Shence Army in person, they will let you choose people." Su Yu said: "If you really want to choose people from the army
, I will write an official letter to you, just go there with the official letter."
Qin Xiao cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, sir. By the way, sir, if there are good people in the market, can they also be transferred to Dali Temple to work as errands?"
Su Yu said with a smile: "For them, it's like reaching the sky in one step. Although there are few such precedents, it's not impossible. And since this matter is entrusted to you, you can just let it go. If you have any difficulties, I'll help you."
You handle it." He then said: "Our Dali Temple has been downsized several times, but there are still more than fifty officials, large and small, in office. I have asked people to sort out their files and give them to you. You can consider them carefully." Weiyi pondered.
, continued: "Qin Shaoqing, the sage gave us the right to appoint and dismiss, but if we just make a stroke, a person's future can be ruined, so whoever is left behind should really think twice before acting carelessly."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly and said nothing.
On the way back to Zuo Qing's office, Qin Xiao immediately bowed to any Dali Temple official he met, cautiously and with utmost humility.
Qin Xiao now controls the future of all Dali Temple officials, and no one dares to ignore him.
Returning to Zuo Qing's office, as soon as I sat down, I heard a voice coming from outside: "Master Qin, I would like to see Fei Xin, the lower official!"
"Master Fei!" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Come in and talk!"
Feixin almost stooped to come in, with a smile on his face, and said cautiously: "I don't know if your Excellency likes to drink tea. I just sent someone to bring hot water. I remembered that there is no good tea here, so I will
I brought the Yuqian Longjing from the official collection. It tastes good. You can try it, adults." With the tea box in his hand, he went over to make tea for Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao knew Fei Xin's thoughts very well. He looked at him in a hurry while making tea. He was obviously nervous. He sighed and said, "Master Fei, is there something on your mind?"
Feixin paused, turned around slowly, walked up to Qin Xiao suddenly, knelt down, and said in a tearful voice: "My lord, the night before yesterday, I... I am so timid.
Rat, you failed to fight side by side with the adults, you only know how to survive, and you are really worthy of death." He raised his arm and slapped his face with a clear and loud voice: "I am as cowardly as a rat, and I deserve death.
But...but the lower official spent the year in Dali Temple and is very familiar with the affairs of Dali Temple. When he does his errands, he does his duty with all his heart and does not dare to be careless in the slightest."
Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "Master Fei, what are you doing? Get up and talk quickly."
"Xiaguan really knows that he was wrong and sincerely admits his mistake to your Majesty." Feixin was already in tears: "Your Excellency, you don't know something. Your Majesty's family is all in Kyoto. Not only do you have to support your parents, but you also have three children. If
.....If I lose this job, it will be a disaster for my family. My lord, I promise you that in the future, as long as it is your order, even if I have to go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of fire, it will be under my control.
No matter what, I will never dare to retreat at all, I just ask you to give me another chance...!"
When the order to clean up Dali Temple came out today, Feixin was more panicked than anyone else.
After Qin Xiao was transferred to Dali Temple, he didn't have much contact with other officials, but he spent the longest time with Feixin.
That night, the guards of the palace made things difficult for Qin Xiao. Fei Xin failed to come forward to help Qin Xiao. Fei Xin knew that what happened would definitely make Qin Xiao unhappy. Now that Qin Xiao has the power to appoint and remove many officials in Dali Temple, if it is true
Because I was dissatisfied with my performance that night, I was afraid that I would be the first to be packed up and left from Dali Temple.
If Feixin had not been able to figure out the palace's attitude towards Qin Xiao before, now that the two decrees have been issued, Feixin has completely understood it.
Although the decree was for Su Yu and Qin Xiao to clean up the Dali Temple together, Feixin and many officials knew that the saint's real purpose was to give Qin Xiao the real power to control the Dali Temple. The young man had just arrived at the Dali Temple for only a few days.
Sir, it is unbelievable to be so respected by a saint.
Feixin even thought of Lu Junzhong, the official of the Ministry of Punishment.
At that time, Lu Junzhong was also highly regarded by the saint and was promoted continuously. Lu Junzhong quickly took control of the real power of the Ministry of Justice. Serving Lu Junzhong did not disappoint the saint's expectations and made great contributions to the saint.
Today's Qin Xiao is just like Lu Junzhong back then, leaping over the dragon's gate and gaining great respect.
Feixin knew that from now on, Dali Temple would probably belong to Qin Xiao.
If he could stay in Dali Temple and stay with the saint's new favorite, he would definitely benefit from it in the future. However, he was too timid that night and failed to advance and retreat with Qin Xiao, not to mention staying in Dali Temple and holding Qin Xiao's arms.
I'm afraid my thighs can't even keep their current position.
"Master Fei, what are you doing?" Qin Xiao pulled Fei Xin up abruptly: "Master Fei, you did let me down that night, but I am not an unreasonable person, and I can still understand your difficulties. Those
After all, the guards are from the Duke's palace. If they are really offended and Mrs. Cheng Guo takes revenge, we are no match at all. They are relatives of the emperor, and there are many ways to deal with us." He raised his hand and asked Feixin to sit down, and sighed:
"Now that I think about it, I was a little reckless that night. But I was alone, and if something happened, it wouldn't affect my family. Mr. Fei's family is in Kyoto, and I can still understand that he has scruples for his family.
.”
Feixing said gratefully: "My lord, I would like to thank you for your understanding."
"In the trial of Wei Bi, Mr. Fei personally took the notes, which is a meritorious service." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "That night when Lu Junzhong questioned me, Mr. Fei also came forward to speak for me. I have kept these in mind. Mr. Fei, I know
What are you worried about? Do you feel that if you didn't advance and retreat with me that night, I would complain in my heart and even take the opportunity of cleaning up Dali Temple to drive you out of Dali Temple?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare! I don't dare, I don't dare!"
"Don't worry, even if Su Budang wants to remove you, I will try my best to let you stay." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Master Fei, you are still thoughtful in your work. Dali Temple needs people like you."
Feixin said in surprise: "Sir...is what you said true?"
"I always speak true to my word." Qin Xiao said solemnly: "But Mr. Fei has also heard the sage's will. As an official of the Fasi Yamen, he is sworn to defend the law of the country to the death. I will no longer pursue the previous matters.
I just hope that Mr. Fei can come forward if he encounters the same thing in the future, otherwise I really can’t keep you in Dali Temple anymore.”
Feixin immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir. If you retreat again in the future, you won't dare to leave, and I won't have the shame to stay here."
"Actually, Mr. Fei, don't have any scruples in doing things in the future." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "You can just go ahead and do whatever I ask you to do. If the sky falls, I will bear it."
Fei Xin hurriedly said: "From now on, I am willing to advance and retreat with you, and share the same difficulties. I will never dare to be alone."
"Master Fei, there is no need to say more about this matter. Just be your errand and no one will touch you." Qin Xiao waved to Fei Xin and lowered his voice and said, "You are very concerned about the situation in Dali Temple."
Understand, you know the origins of the big and small officials in Dali Temple better than I do. You can write something to me later. Who of these officials in Dali Temple were promoted based on their true ability? If you list them out, which ones were promoted through behind-the-scenes tactics?
Come here and list them out for me. Remember, it’s a very important matter and I’m sure Mr. Fei won’t fool me.”
Fei Xin hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, I will never dare to be negligent, let alone fool you. I leave this matter to you. Even if you want to know what the eighth generation of their ancestors does, I will go and investigate."
