Ancient promotion routine

Emperor Sheng Yuan looked moody, waited for the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to stop talking, and then asked Zhang Yanjin: "Zhang Yanjin, what do you want to say?"

From the previous indifference, Zhang Yanjin showed a smile instead: "Your Majesty, I have known about Wang Jianting's bribery of pirates for a long time, and I also escaped with my life."

Zhang Zhongqian was shocked, people from the Wang family dared to do this!

The other courtiers began to whisper, if so, Zhang Yanjin really had the motive to kill.

"Because there is no evidence, I didn't want to reveal it, but I felt uncomfortable, so I sent someone to take Wang Jianting to Zhongnanshan..."

Zhang Yanjin smiled, "If I really want to kill him, Wang Jianting won't just lose face."

As soon as Zhang Yanjin finished speaking, the people in the hall were a little stunned. Afterwards, everyone thought about it, only a scoundrel like Zhang Yanjin could do such things.

If this is the case, looking back, Zhang Yanjin has already taken revenge, and Wang Jianting's death... I'm afraid Zhang Yanjin really didn't kill him, because the motive for the murder is gone.

Zhou Qiye took a step forward suddenly, and he said in a gentle voice: "Zhang Zijue is so generous, Wang Jianting is such an assassin, Zhang Zijue is just playing tricks on him, I really admire him."

As soon as Zhou Qiye finished speaking, everyone frowned. After thinking about it carefully, it was really unreasonable. Others wanted Zhang Yanjin's life, but Zhang Yanjin just played tricks and let it go.

Zhang Yanjin flicked the sleeves of his official robe, he gave Zhou Qiye a contemptuous look, and said, "I've never been magnanimous, isn't their family ashamed to be an official? Originally, I planned that after two or three years, everyone would forget about him. Then I sent someone to check his Wang family's hometown, if there is even a slight mistake, I will report to the Ministry of Punishment and deal with it according to the law.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly scolded Zhang Yanjin for being insidious. It turned out that Zhang Yanjin had already expected that Wang Jianting and his son would be forced to resign, and planned to settle accounts after the autumn?

At the same time, it also dispelled the doubts, such revenge is much safer.

Zhou Qiye was choked and speechless.

Zhang Yanjin didn't bother to look at Zhou Qiye anymore, she looked at Li Yuan of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Li, if you say that I am the murderer, is there any other evidence?"

Li Yuan lowered his eyes slightly: "I found Zhang Zijue's token."

Zhang Yanjin smiled and asked, "I don't know what it is?"

Li Yuan presented the things up.

It is a piece of jade pendant with the word Ning on it.It really belongs to Zhang Yanjin.

Emperor Sheng Yuan glanced at Zhang Yanjin, Zhang Yanjin said with a smile: "This jade pendant is indeed mine, but..."

"When I was attacked by pirates, I fell into the sea. All the guards I brought to sea can testify."

Li Yuan had nothing to say.

Zhang Yanjin said quietly: "Sometimes, people still can't do bad things. Wang Jianting colluded with pirates to take the lives of his ministers, and he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't buy life money for pirates. The prosperity of the world is for profit; the world is for profit. In the past, pirates don't have the good temper of ministers."

Everyone jumped up in shock.

Does this mean that the pirates took revenge on Wang Jianting?

Zhang Yanjin sent pirates to kill him. After he forced him to leave the capital, Liu Junyi sent people, but no matter who came, there would be no evidence.

"Okay, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will investigate this matter again. If there is no solid evidence, don't speculate at will and slander the important ministers of the Great Wei!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan and other officials from the Ministry of Punishment immediately knelt down, not daring to look at Duke Rui Zhou Qin anymore.

****

After coming down to court, Emperor Sheng Yuan announced Zhang Yanjin to the study.

No one knew what the two of them said. As soon as Zhang Yanjin came home, Zhang Zhongqian called Zhang Yanjin to the study.

He looked at Zhang Yanjin hesitated to speak.

Zhang Yanjin understood that Zhang Zhongqian wanted to ask if Zhang Yanjin ordered him to do so.

Zhang Yanjin cupped her hands: "Uncle, this matter is over, it's not what I said, but what the emperor said."

Zhang Zhongqian was stunned.

"The emperor gave me a mission."

Zhang Zhongqian couldn't keep up with Zhang Yanjin's train of thought.

Zhang Yanjin let out a sigh of relief, and he knew that Duke Rui Zhou Qin sent someone to stab Wang Jianting's death to the former court, and he definitely didn't really want to accuse Zhang Yanjin.

Because if you really want to question him, you must have evidence, and if you have evidence, you have already followed the procedure, and the Criminal Department went directly to the Ningguo Mansion to arrest Zhang Yanjin and put him in prison for interrogation.

For them, Wang Jianting is just a small person, especially after Wang Jianting and his son resigned, they are even more insignificant people.

They knew that they had no choice but to poke Zhang Yanjin out, and hit Zhang Zhongqian and Zhang Yanjin who had made great contributions. At least, they could use suspicion to make the emperor stab Zhang Yanjin.

This instigation to kill a political opponent who resigned from office and retired to seclusion is really not suitable for the rules of officialdom, and it will make people think that Zhang Yanjin is a ruthless person who will take revenge. Throughout the ages, such a person will not be liked by the superiors.

"What mission?"

Zhang Yanjin didn't take it seriously: "Zhongzhou was not destroyed by the earthquake. The emperor asked me to go to Zhongzhou to be the magistrate and preside over the reconstruction of Zhongzhou. It was recommended by Rui Guogong, Chen Guogong, and Han Guogong!"

"Is there an order?"

Zhang Yanjin shook her head: "Just tell me in advance."

Zhang Zhongqian was ready to pack up and enter the palace immediately.

"Follow me into the palace, and you will say that you have no talent for construction, and push this matter away."

"I'm not going!"

"You... You know, the aftershocks are still there, and it is very dangerous. How can you do the post-disaster reconstruction work?" I'm afraid I will save my life if I go there.

"But it's a great achievement if it's done well, isn't it?" Zhang Yanjin said.

The spring breeze blew softly in the bamboo grove under the study. In the past, these rustling sounds accompanied Zhang Zhongqian in the quiet study, which always made Zhang Zhongqian feel peaceful.

But today, he is getting heavier.

He has been in the officialdom for so many years, how can he not see that this is the method used by Zhou Qin and the others?

The emperor didn't directly deny Zhou Qin's proposal, but told Yanjin in advance, which is why his heart is heavy.

Although Zhongzhou is not as good as Chang'an City, it is also an important place in the Central Plains. If something goes wrong, it can't be solved by him pleading for Zhang Yanjin in front of the emperor. Rui Guogong, Han Guogong, and Chen Guogong will definitely seize this matter Don't let it go, impeach Zhang Yanjin severely.

As Zhang Yanjin's uncle, he naturally didn't want to see Zhang Yanjin take such a big risk on his shoulders.

Zhang Yanjin had long scolded Zhou Qin and these old foxes in his heart. This matter seemed to be entrusting him with a heavy responsibility to make contributions, but it was actually planting a bomb for him and testing his bottom line at the same time.

On the way back, he actually thought for a long time, whether he wanted to reject this matter or follow Zhou Qin and his group's wishes, and then slap Zhou Qin and the others in the face with the facts?

"Uncle, don't worry!" Zhang Yanjin said.

Zhang Zhongqian looked at Zhang Yanjin who was sitting opposite him in disbelief, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be a little darker because of worry.

"The reconstruction of Zhongzhou is not a simple matter, let alone that you have mastered a technology, designing a factory is so simple, it requires someone who is very familiar with planning and construction to do it..." Zhang Zhongqian couldn't help but say : "Erlang, it's not that uncle doesn't believe you have this ability, but that this matter is too big and difficult to complete, and it takes a long time. Uncle is really afraid of your suffering."

Zhang Yanjin smiled lightly and said, "Didn't uncle always say that a good man has ambitions in all directions? Although the reconstruction of Zhongzhou is hard work and things are complicated, if you see a place where there were only wreckage, it will slowly grow in your hands with a reborn attitude." , Isn’t it also a very successful thing?”

Zhang Zhongqian didn't speak, apparently he still didn't want Zhang Yanjin to take over this matter.

"Death is inherent in a person, and it may be lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. My nephew does not want to spend my life in a muddle, and everything has challenges and opportunities. I also ask my uncle to support my nephew in making contributions." Zhang Yanjin looked at Zhang Zhongqian sincerely.

Looking at his nephew's obsidian eyes, Zhang Zhongqian was slightly moved.

Since when, his nephew has grown up and can already pursue what he wants.Since when did his nephew lose the greenness between his brows and grow into a man who can stand upright.

Looking back on the past, Zhang Zhongqian's nose turned sour. In order not to lose his composure in front of Zhang Yanjin, Zhang Zhongqian waved his hand lightly and said, "That's all, if you want to go, go."

Sure enough, after the next day, the imperial decree came from the palace to let Zhang Yanjin enter the palace.

After Zhang Yanjin changed his uniform as a lord, he followed Zhang Zhongqian into the palace.

After the two of them entered the imperial study, Zhang Yanjin found that Chen Derang, Minister of the Household Department, Zhou Qin, Duke of Ruiguo, Huang Xiujun, who is proficient in construction, and several other officials from the Ministry of Industry had all arrived.

After saluting the emperor, everyone began to discuss the reconstruction of Zhongzhou.

"My Majesty, I believe that Zhang Yanjin is talented and intelligent. He previously built an open-pit coal yard in Datong, Xizhou, later designed a giant ship in Zhongzhou, and now he has properly arranged for the victims and successfully sailed to Nanyang. These deeds are enough to prove Zhang Yanjin's talent." Therefore, I still insist on admonishing in the court, and ask the emperor to entrust Zhang Yanjin with the task of rebuilding China." Ruiguo Duke Zhou Qin first expressed his attitude.

Everyone first looked at the emperor, and then they all looked at Zhang Yanjin from the corner of their eyes. Chen Derang took another look at Zhang Zhongqian, with some uneasiness in his eyes.

This morning Zhang Zhongqian had already told Chen Derang about Zhang Yanjin's intention to take over the Zhongzhou Reconstruction Commission. Although Chen Derang did not approve of Zhang Yanjin's reckless behavior, he could not stop him from persuading him.

After all, Zhang Zhongqian had already acquiesced to Zhang Yanjin's decision, so he couldn't say anything more.

When everyone was silent, they heard Zhang Yanjin laughing, as if excited and innocent, said: "I didn't expect Duke Rui to appreciate me so much, I was really flattered, I remember Zhou Qiye, a member of the Ministry of Treasury The Ministry of Treasury has been in charge of the military ceremonies of the State Army and State for many years, and must be better at regional reconstruction, but Rui Guogong has no intention of recommending him at all. I remember that he was the one who led the Look at me, but now the gap is so big, does Duke Rui also think that he is too stupid to support the wall at all?"
