A collar of clouds rolled down from the sky and hung down on the man's broad back, like the past that had been tamed.
He no longer talks about the past stories. He carries the weight of the past.
He just landed on the Jingshi Square in front of the censor's platform, letting this "Dijian" and the eyes of many censors monitor his life.
The main platform of Yushitai is built majestic and majestic, without any obstruction. The high platform and beautiful appearance can be seen at a glance.
Suddenly, from the dark huge doorway on the platform that looked like a beast's mouth, Shang Shuyi, the current general secretary of the Great Scenery Empire, walked out.
He was dressed in a clean Yushitai official uniform and was dressed meticulously.
His eyes only looked forward, not squinting. Just like that, he met Lou Yue and walked straight in front of the stage.
This straight path resembles the tongue of an animal's mouth, and also resembles a huge sword.
The skylight casts a long shadow on about one person in the building.
Shang Shuyi's shadow was hiding in the shadow of the doorway. Standing among them were a group of censors lined up in two rows, using wats as swords.
The first royal censor in the Dajing Empire, the Wat Ban, was cut by Taizu himself and promised to the general constitution, making Yan Jiwei wrong.
"This sword is meant to pierce the emperor at the top and cut off the soldiers at the bottom. It will pierce everyone at home and abroad, and it can't avoid it." - "Jinglue·Volume 1".
The entire outer city of Tianjing City seems to have a huge division here.
Lou Yue was alone and even more powerful. He walked forward with his hands behind his back and just said: "Thank you!"
It seemed like so many people were here just to welcome him!
But Shang Shuyi did not give in, he just stayed there, like a fresh spike. He was the rugged figure before the overwhelming power: "It is not auspicious for a big official from Tiandu to come to the censor's headquarters!"
The Yushitai Main Tower was built in the outer city. It was remote and sparsely populated. No one else dared to approach it. Those powerful officials who lived in the core area of Tianjing would not come here easily. Most of them came here to serve as the Yushitai Imperial Prison.
Either send someone here, or be sent here - for example, after Zong Dezhen's execution, Fu Dongxu, the leader of Jingshi Tai, was immediately invited to investigate. For example, Lou Jiangyue, a treason case criminal brought from Jingshi Tai.
"It depends on who it is. The strong will always be lucky, and the weak will always be unlucky." Lou Yue responded quietly, raising his eyelids slightly: "I already said... thank you!"
Two people standing here confronting each other today.
Lou Yue should have greater confidence.
Shang Shuyi's position in the General Constitution is not very stable.
In order to compensate Chen Suan, Song Huai planned this position for him.
Shang Shuyi was too upright and never showed any mercy. Naturally, no one would show mercy to him. When he stepped down from the position of the General Constitution, it was still unclear what the world would be like.
In contrast, Lou Yue is unparalleled in the limelight. He is also the privy envoy of the military aircraft building and the deputy commander of the imperial army. He is ranked among the top eight. Now, with the cultivation of the first real person in Zhongzhou, he has reached the top in one step and has been recommended by the emperor.
He is vaguely planning to take the position of Grand Master of Yujing Mountain!
It may be debatable to say that he is now the person with the most weight in the entire Dajing Empire, apart from the emperor. Adding "one" would be no problem.
His words of "Thank you for your hard work" can be regarded as giving him enough face.
The only pity is that the Zuodu Yushi in front of him doesn't care.
"This is the censor's platform! What did you say?" Shang Shuyi stood as straight as the censor's wat board: "The speaker's voice is too low, I can't hear it."
"Do you need me to come closer and talk to you?" Lou Yue stepped forward and stepped in front of Shang Shuyi. There was almost only a punch between them. If the wind blew, they would collide with each other.
This is an extremely dangerous distance.
It’s more about the collision of dignity and power.
Lou Yue just raised his eyes, and the terrifying pressure brought by this name came like a mountain and sea.
Almost everyone in the two rows of censors standing behind Shang Shuyi lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly, and some even subconsciously backed away!
Only Shang Shuyi stood still.
His face did not change, and he looked at the Lord of the Lou Dao calmly: "Mr. Lou, you are not a real Lord of the Dao, but you are already so majestic and majestic, which makes Shang awe. But even if you are already a real Lord of the Dao, I
The answer is the same - yes, why are you here? Face the officer directly and state your feelings!"
Lou Yue looked at him silently.
He also looked at her silently.
Silence is like a huge stone weighing on people's hearts, making them gradually breathless.
Lou Yue has realized how stubborn Shang Shuyi is. With his current status, he can certainly not care about the authority of a Zuodu censor, but his daughter Lou Jiangyue is currently serving as the censor in Taichung.
Finally, he said: "I am just here as a father to see my daughter."
This is undoubtedly a concession to some extent.
It is almost unimaginable for Lou Yue, who has reached the peak of extraordinary power and is about to reach the peak of power.
But Shang Shuyi said: "Your daughter is a traitor."
Lou Yue frowned as if he was about to get angry, and finally smiled: "I haven't met someone who doesn't give me face like this in many years."
Shang Shuyi's face was expressionless: "Because you haven't dealt with me for many years."
"In the past few years, and even today, is there anything I can criticize from Yushitai?" Lou Yue asked rhetorically.
"Yes, the few memorials you have, most of them talk about your demeanor -" Shang Shuyi said: "But when I saw you arrogantly going to the prison, I couldn't help but want to stop you and ask.
Question: What kind of decree do you have, and what kind of official business do you want to do? The Chief Lou Shu is so wanton, which shows how tolerant I, the Censor, have been in the past!"
Lou Yue glanced at the censors behind him who did not dare to raise their heads, and then looked at him: "Do you want to say that none of these people are as loyal as you, or that none of them are as unreasonable as you?"
"Envoy Lou, Deputy Commander Lou." Shang Shuyi emphasized his official position and made his status clear: "If everyone has the courage to face you, it will be too difficult for them. If you have the backbone to stand behind me,
It is already the backbone of Yushitai."
Lou Yue was silent for a moment: "I don't understand why Shang Zongxian is so hostile to me. He actually regards me as his enemy and wants to draw his sword against me."
"Only because of your daughter's treason, I should arrest you and stand trial! But you hold a high position and it's just when His Majesty is using you, so you can't do it." Shang Shuyi looked at him sternly: "Mr. Lou,
Don’t think you are really innocent.”
"You want to say that I am also a traitor?" Lou Yue raised his eyebrows: "I, Lou Yue, have come step by step to where I am today. I have sacrificed my life for Your Majesty and for the country. I can only do more than you, Mr. Shang Xian, but not more than you, Mr. Shang.
Mr. Xian! What reason do I have for treason? Taking a step back, I have reached the position I am today. What else can attract me outside of Jingguo? Is Shang Zongxian's alarmist talk to the point of ignoring the facts? "
"There is no need to talk about past achievements, possibilities, or reasons. Ding is Ding, and Mao is Mao." Shang Shuyi's eyes were as bright as a sword: "I only look at the facts, and I only follow the law. The fact is you
If your daughter is treasonous, the legal principle is that you should be investigated, but the emperor tolerated you!"
"What a legal principle!" Lou Yue said in a deep voice: "In the battle to kill Zong Dezhen in Tianwai, there were two remnants of the Ping Dynasty who were controlled and disappeared after the war. The minister of Zongzheng Temple did not even bring them back.
, Does General Xian have any clue?"
If you are impartial in everything and investigate everything thoroughly, why don't you go check with the Minister of Zongzhengji?
"I don't need to worry about you, I have already gone to Han Zongzheng Temple!" Shang Shuyi raised his head and faced directly: "Before you came here, Zong Zheng had already explained this in detail - at that time he was focused on dealing with Zong Dezhen.
Afterwards, I only noticed that the two people had drifted away from the battlefield. After Zong Dezhen died, I tried to look for them, but they were no longer there. They should have been rescued by the high-level officials of the Ping Dynasty who were hiding nearby. There is a star nearby.
The possibility of them being involved in the destruction due to the thunderstorm could not be ruled out. It is also possible that some of those who besieged Zong Dezhen at that time secretly provided cover. Considering the domestic situation and the fact that Pingping Country was no longer the main problem, Zong Zheng did not continue to pursue
Instead, we will return to Tianjing first."
"How? Do you still have any questions?" Shang Shuyi looked at him: "If you feel that Zong Zheng's explanation is not reasonable enough, or you have any doubts about him here, you are welcome to submit it. This constitution will deal with it impartially.
He explained everything!"
Shang Shuyi was tougher than Lou Yue thought, and actually forced Ji Yumin to explain!
Lou Yue looked at the sky and withdrew his gaze: "Then I would like to ask - at what stage is the investigation about Fu Taishou progressing now?"
The Yushitai monitors all officials, and is also monitored by all officials.
Officials like Fu Dongxu were invited to the Yushitai to investigate.
It's natural for him to ask this question.
It also means that he intends to communicate, or "confront", with Shang Shuyi within the order.
He can go wherever he wants and see whomever he wants. This specialness attached to his overwhelming power is not recognized in Yushitai.
Shang Shuyi stands here today with such a clear attitude, just to make one thing clear——
Even if Lou Yue wants to come to Yushitai Prison to see his daughter, he must follow the rules. This is not a matter of whether Shang Shuyi nods his head or not, nor does it have anything to do with anyone's power. This is Yushitai Prison.
Shitai.
Now Lou Yue is speaking under orders, and Shang Shuyi also gives him an answer under orders: "At least in the twists and turns of Qian Tianjing, the suspicion of Fu Taishou has been cleared."
"Oh? Does he have anything else to do?" Lou Yue asked.
"I didn't say that in this Xian." Shang Shuyi said: "Fu Taishou has returned to Jingshi Terrace. If Ambassador Lou has any doubts, you can ask him yourself."
"In other words, Fu Taishou is not guilty?" Lou Yue asked.
"I can't say he is guilty." Shang Shuyi said.
Lou Yue looked at him seriously: "Zong Dezhen has just died, and the suppression of Yizhen Taoism is not over. Fu Dongxu, as the leader of the Mirror World, has a very heavy responsibility in the current situation. You don't have fatal evidence. Under such circumstances, I called him in for questioning because of a little doubt. It can be said that I only focused on the achievements of Yushitai, a three-acre land, and completely ignored the overall situation of the entire Jingguo!"
Shang Shuyi looked at each other calmly: "Ben Xian is the censor of Zuodu, Yushitai. Supervising hundreds of officials is the overall situation of Ben Xian and the overall situation of Jingguo. Ambassador Lou, I hope you will never forget it no matter how high you go. What is your root."
Lou Yue continued to ask: "Now that Fu Taishou has returned, how far has Yushitai progressed in the investigation of the little girl?"
The function of the Yushitai is to supervise all officials, and it does not really have the power to punish the whole country. To put it more bluntly, this department is aimed at the officials and not the people.
Lou Jiangyue is not an official, and the investigation of her should be carried out by the Criminal Investigation Department or Jingshi Tai. Even if the Central Prison is responsible, it is more reasonable.
In the final analysis, Yushitai left Lou Jiangyue here because Fu Dongxu was implicated. In essence, the sword was still aimed at Lou Yue himself.
But Fu Dongxu had already left, and Shang Shuyi couldn't really question him about Lou Yue. Lou Jiangyue had no reason to stay at Yushitai.
Lou Yue talked about Fu Dongxu first, and then Lou Jiangyue, which pointed out the unreasonableness of this matter.
Seeing that Lou Daojun was so awake and refused to lose his composure or make any mistakes, Shang Shuyi calmly said: "Lou Jiangyue has confessed his crime."
Lou Yue said expressionlessly: "Since she has pleaded guilty, should she be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department? Or the Central Prison?"
He can always see his daughter in any place except Yushitai!
Shang Shuyi pointedly pointed there: "Isn't Mr. Lou curious about what crime she confessed to?"
Lou Yue looked at him deeply, turned around and left: "Ouyang, Chief of Staff, there will be a transfer order, and I would like to present it to your company."
"She said it's because she hates you!" Shang Shuyi said behind him: "She deliberately disrupted the order of Jingshi Terrace and slandered Fu Dongxu as a true Taoist. She wanted to cause conflicts between you and Fu Dongxu, and she also wanted to use practical methods to The blame for the treasonous act will be placed on you! Ambassador Lou, you are innocent! Although your daughter is treasonous, you are clean!"
Lou Yue didn't stop and left in large strides.
In the dim shadow behind him, a censor approached: "Sir, Lou Jiangyue tried to commit suicide many times, and she secretly joined Hell Wumen. This is the matter of King Chu Jiang in the Tenth Palace of Hell... He didn't tell Lou Shushu. Talk about it?"
Shang Shuyi just looked at the distant figure: "In the past, this cloak was worn by tigers roaring in the mountains and rivers, but now it has been replaced by such a clean cloud cloak."
These things that Lou Yue knows very well, why is it necessary to tell Lou Yue again? Today's Lou Yue is a big shot who is about to become a Taoist king. He is aloof and indifferent to human feelings.
His tone was incomprehensible: "I always think that is more pleasing to the eye."
"General Xian." The censor behind him asked again: "The transfer order from the Criminal Investigation Department should be coming soon. What should we do?"
"According to the rules, we should give him the person in a polite manner." Shang Shuyi said: "It's just that during this period, we are working with the Imperial City Third Division to track down Yizhen Taoist disciples. I am busy with official duties, so you are unlikely to be able to contact me.
.”
The censor behind him was very sensible: "But if a key criminal like Lou Jiangyue is not given the nod by the General Secretary, we will never be able to release him."
As he took small steps forward, his face gradually became clearer in the shadow of the doorway, and it turned out to be Xiao Linzheng, who was born in Shuntian Mansion.
"She died in Yuantu and wanted to kill her. When she got sick, she was in the most extreme pain in the world. Keep her here, don't give her death row, don't let her kill people. We don't have to do anything else, she will say anything in the end
.”
Shang Shuyi said: "But there are only two days, at most two days, Lou Yue will not be able to stop him. Ouyang Jie will even come to the door in person."
He sighed: "I always hate not being with me!"
"If we can delay it for two more days, it should be enough." Xiao Linzheng said: "I think she is in so much pain that she will collapse at any time."
"Lou Jiangyue has been living in the Lou Mansion all year round, and there are not many opportunities to come out. It is more likely to be in our hands this time. Her secrets are very deep, and there are often dirty things hidden behind her secrets. Those who knew about it back then were all secretive, even us
There are only a few words in the Yushitai, which is exactly where we need to work." Shang Shuyi said solemnly: "It's a shame that these people are all the same. The three divisions of the imperial city and the big officials of the capital are protecting each other.
Make it clear. The Taoism protects the Taoism, and the same sect protects the same sect. It is this tacit understanding that breeds the soil for the spread of the One True Tao!"
"The only thing is..." Xiao Linzheng thought for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty will entrust Lou Shu with a great responsibility, and you have unlimited trust in him..."
Shang Shuyi raised his hand forward, as if holding the straight road in front of him in the light.
This straight line is like a sword in the tongue: "If the emperor is never wrong and sees everything clearly, then there is no need to set up a censorship platform. In the same way, if the censorship platform is always consistent with the emperor, then the censorship platform will not exist.
It’s necessary. It’s precisely when Lou Yue reaches such an important position that we have to examine him harshly!”
