I want to be a faint king [Rebirth]

Yuan Yin stood beside Xiao Rong, looked solemnly at the prefect of Yunzhou who was tied up by ropes, and looked sideways at Xiao Rong who looked calm, and said slowly:

"Is he really the prefect of Yunzhou?"

Xiao Rong nodded and said nothing, then pushed the door open, Bai Shu quickly got up and saluted him, he slightly raised his hand to signal, then lowered his voice and asked: "What did he say?"

Bai Shu understood instantly, saluted quickly, and said in a changed voice, "I won't ask for anything, just swearing."

"Okay." Xiao Rong turned around and looked at Yuan Yin standing outside the house, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty wants to see the prefect of Yunzhou as soon as possible, do you know what to order?"

"I know." Bai Shu replied hastily.

Xiao Rong's eyes were a little darker, and he looked straight at the prefect of Yunzhou who was covered in black cloth, his eyes froze, he turned around with his hands behind his back and walked out of the dilapidated room.

"Xiao Qing, what shall we do next?" Yuan Yin looked at Xiao Rong who came out, and asked quickly.

Xiao Rong nodded slightly, signaling Yuan Yin to look into the room.At this moment, the prefect of Yunzhou seemed to know something, he struggled and shouted: "You, are you sent by Mr. Chang? I knew it. You can't put me in danger."

"Don't think too much, our adults came to see you just to tell you not to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty, otherwise, it's hard to say whether you can leave the capital alive." Bai Shu snorted softly and said coldly.

Du Jintang seemed to be frightened by Bai Shu's words, his face turned pale for a moment, and then he said submissively: "I know, I know, I won't talk nonsense."

Bai Shu snorted coldly, kicked the broken stool in front of Du Jintang, swaggered out of the room with a ferocious look, only reached the courtyard, and then saluted Yuan Yin and Xiao Rong again.

"Xiao Qing, I don't seem to understand. Since you have already captured him, why didn't you just bring him into the palace and hand him over to me, and leave him in this deserted place?" Yuan Yin looked at Xiao Rong with some doubts. , I was very puzzled.

He is the one who wants to know the truth about the case of the prefect of Yunzhou the most, and he can't wait to meet Du Jintang so that he can understand the truth about buying and selling officials. It's just that Xiao Rong asked Zhan Feng and Bai Shu to rescue Du Jintang, why didn't he send him to the palace immediately?

Xiao Rong looked at the young man beside him, his eyes were slightly gentle, and he saluted and said, "Your Majesty can trust me?"

"Of course I believe it." Yuan Yin nodded, but secretly rolled his eyes in his heart: Is this not nonsense? If you don't believe him, why do you ask him to investigate the case of buying and selling officials?

"Then there is no need for your Majesty to ask any more questions. Your Majesty can summon the Minister of the Ministry of Officials before the magistrate of Yunzhou enters the palace tomorrow." Xiao Rong said confidently.

Yuan Yin looked at his unfathomable appearance and refused to reveal the secret, but he didn't want to break the casserole and ask the end. Thinking about the case of the murder of the minister of punishment last time, he finally gave himself a surprise what?

Thinking of this, Yuan Yin also looked calm, and then smiled, but his eyes fell on Du Jintang who was tied up in the broken house, and his originally relaxed mood became dignified at that moment.

He Wenhan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, once said that Chang Wenhan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, bought and sold no fewer than dozens of officials and nobles. Only one Du Jintang made the people of Yunzhou complain. What about the officials in other places?What do they look like?Can the people under their control live and work in peace and contentment?

Yuan Yin frowned, then turned around with his hands behind his back, and left the dilapidated courtyard, just as he got into the carriage, Xiao Rong followed him without saying much, just quietly accompanying him.

"Xiao Aiqing, do you think the person who bought the official is taking the opportunity to make money, or does he really want to benefit the common people?" After a long silence, Yuan Yin looked up at Xiao Rong who was sitting in front of him, and asked seriously.

"All." Xiao Rong replied softly, but then he groped in his arms for a while, then took out the letterhead and handed it to Yuan Yin's hand, and said slowly:

"This is the solution that I have been looking for for Your Majesty in the past few days. Your Majesty may wish to take a look."

Yuan Yin was a little surprised. After taking the letter, he spread it out immediately, and carefully looked at the solutions listed above to solve the problem of buying and selling officials. Yuan Yin looked at it carefully for a while, and then said: "The selection of officials must be They have to be selected through the imperial examination, and now they have violated the law by buying an official, why should they be punished lightly depending on the seriousness of the situation?"

Xiao Rong then bowed his head and said: "What kind of person is this official buyer? Your Majesty must not make a decision lightly before he has seen it."

"Then Xiao Qing, tell me, how can I be gentle?" Yuan Yin asked casually while holding the letter paper.

"Du Jintang spent 10 taels of silver to buy a position in the prefect of Yunzhou, and kept searching for the people's fat and people's ointment in order to make up for his 10 taels of silver. Naturally, if other buyers have such thoughts, it is natural It is severely punished according to the law, but think about it, if the person who bought the official is sincerely doing things for the people, he only made such a decision because the imperial examination is hopeless. If he has good intentions and does things for the people, then His Majesty should punish him lightly In order to demonstrate His Majesty's benevolent government style, regardless of the character of the officials elected by the imperial examination, if the character of the official who bought the official is good, His Majesty may wish to try it out. If the achievements are passed and the people are convinced, he will continue to appoint him. How does His Majesty feel? "

Xiao Rong sat upright, bowed to Yuan Yin, and then spoke gracefully.

Yuan Yin looked at the energetic Xiao Rong in front of him, his benevolent demeanor really hit Yuan Yin's heart, but he was still a little uneasy, thinking about Chen for a moment, before he could speak, he heard Xiao Rong And said:

"There is no rush on this matter. The immediate matter is to deal with the issue of the Ministry of Officials selling officials. After it is resolved, His Majesty can discuss it with the court."

Yuan Yin thought for a while, then nodded.

It was a night of wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and the Tiantian lotus leaves in the lotus pond of the National Academy of Sciences were broken by the heavy rain. Ye Xiu went there, so it was a pleasing sight again.

After Xiao Rong finished his lecture and left, Yuan Yin sat in the gazebo with a sad face, while Xiao Luzi waited on him cautiously with his head down, not even daring to breathe.

In the distance, Chang Hanyu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, walked towards the Superintendent of National Studies, saw Yuan Yin sitting in the gazebo, paused at the entrance of the garden, and then came slowly, and walked towards Yuan Yin under the gazebo. Salute said:

"The minister bows to His Majesty."

Yuan Yin looked at Chang Hanyu who was saluting under the gazebo, turned his head to look at him quickly, and asked with a frown: "Chang Aiqing, can you take my letter to Yunzhou and give it to the prefect of Yunzhou?"

Chang Hanyu's heart tightened, he quickly raised his head to look at Yuan Yin, bowed his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I sent someone to send His Majesty's letter to Yunzhou, it's just...just..."

"Just what?" Yuan Yin asked suspiciously.

"It's just that after the prefect of Yunzhou left Yunzhou, he seemed to have met an assassin and was forcibly taken away. The minister... the minister is also sending people to look for it, which delayed His Majesty's interview. The minister deserves death." Chang Hanyu expected. The emperor will not punish him for a delay in the interview.

It's just that he was not at ease. When he heard Du Jintang's people say that the daughter of the former prefect of Yunzhou was in the capital, he ordered that girl must be caught. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinlan was not caught, but Du Jintang's servant was in the capital. He disappeared unexpectedly in the capital, and he also sent someone to the Hanlin Mansion to ask, but the servants of the Su Mansion were strict and couldn't ask anything.

Therefore, he guessed that that person might have left the capital, but he dared to guess that Jiang Xinlan had already told Su Wenfang, the grandson of Su Yuzhou, a Hanlin scholar, about her. Su Wenfang and Xiao Rong had a good relationship, and Xiao Rong probably knew about it. well aware.

Once Xiao Rong knew about it, he often walked around in front of the emperor. He was afraid that the emperor would also know about it.

Therefore, he had no choice but to take the risk and buy assassins to eradicate Du Jintang, the magistrate of Yunzhou whom the emperor asked to meet on the way to Beijing. As long as Du Jintang died, he could replace Jiang Shaozhi with Du Jintang's death.

It never occurred to him that the original plan was well planned, but Du Jintang was rescued by someone on the way, and it is difficult to say whether the person who rescued him was his enemy or someone sent by Xiao Rong.

"If there is no delay, I won't blame you. This is Yunzhou, which is hundreds of miles away from the capital. I am just worried that something will happen on the way and it will be bad for him. If that is the case, you have to find him carefully. I also intend to reward him for his meritorious service in governing Yunzhou."

Yuan Yin looked at Chang Hanyu's appearance, and then changed his sad expression, with a smile on his lips, got up and stepped down the steps, and gave Chang Hanyu up.

It's just that when Chang Hanyu looked up at Yuan Yin's smiling face, his heart sank suddenly, his hairs stood on end, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Although the young emperor in front of him had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold and sinister, as if he was planning to bully him, but never thought that his city was deep. Once such thoughts arose in Chang Hanyu's mind, they could never be dispelled. Even the palms of the hands that were clasped together were dripping with sweat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." Chang Hanyu said calmly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhan's guards are bringing the prefect of Yunzhou to seek an audience." At this moment, the servant who had been waiting outside the garden suddenly stepped forward to report.

Chang Hanyu's back went numb, his expression was slightly wrong, but he didn't dare to look up at Yuan Yin again.

But his appearance fell into Yuan Yin's eyes without falling for a moment, the sneer on his lips deepened, he turned around and walked back to the gazebo, saying:

"Xuan."

The servant got the order and left the garden in the National Academy of Sciences. But after a while, Du Jintang, the prefect of Yunzhou, who was dressed in an official uniform, walked over under the leadership of Zhan Feng. Before he approached the pavilion, Du Jintang walked over. Kneeling down for a long time, he shouted loudly:

"The magistrate of Chen Yunzhou sees His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
