Chapter 238: The person behind him must be dug out

Xu Jingzong was very rare to sleep on the same bed with him, and embracing each other safely. When the paper in the window outside the window was shining with green light, Pei was already awake. She tiptoed up, groped to find the scythe and lit the candle.

The candlelight swayed in the bedroom. Xu Jingzong slept very lightly and then woke up. He closed his eyes slightly and asked, "When is it?"

"Just 3:00!" Pei lowered his head and did not dare to look at the exposed muscles of Xu Jingzong. The original Xu Jingzong was too thin and seemed to be able to blow down with a gust of wind.

However, after he became the leader of Chen Ying, he saw Princess Pingyang's confidant Ma Sanbao, Chen Ying's confidant Guo Luo, Zhou Qing, and Ashinashimo and others dancing when they heard the chicken, practicing swords, and practicing martial arts. Xu Jingzong was not good at sleeping in, so he had to practice martial arts with everyone. Gradually, he didn't know how much Xu Jingzong's kung fu improved. Anyway, he rarely fought in practice, but his bodybuilder was comparable to that of later generations.

Pei said: "It's time for you to get up, today is the first day you take office in the new office."

Xu Jingzong nodded.

Pei hurriedly brought the neatly stacked clothes to Xu Jingzong, serving Xu Jingzong to put on the jacket inside, and then put on Xu Jingzong's scorching official uniform. Pei respectfully tidied up Xu Jingzong's round necklace, and then put on Xu Jingzong's soft head.

Most of the people who can become fifth-rank officials in the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors are outside the age of 40. However, Xu Jingzong has achieved this position just as he was thirty. It seems that it is not impossible to surpass his father Xu Shanxin in the future and rank above the fourth rank.

Xu Jingzong also lamented that there were people in the court who were good at being an official. In history, until the eighth year of Zhenguan, Xu Jingzong was still a secretary-in-chief. He was just a small official of the seventh rank. However, in this time and space, Xu Jingzong was promoted to the fifth rank chief of the Bijun Department in the sixth year of Wude. As early as in Wagang, he and Wei Zheng served as a record room for Li Mi to join the army. Unexpectedly, after many years, Li Mi had already become a pile of loess, and Xu Jingzong partnered with Wei Zheng.

After washing up, Xu Jingzong finished his breakfast and took a bus to work for the Ministry of Justice. In fact, although he was more powerful than the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, his grade was not high. Above Xu Jingzong, there were also the Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice. According to the system, Xu Jingzong needed to visit the Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice before he could take up his post.

As the saying goes, pulling tiger skins as a big banner. Although he should be humble and peaceful when dealing with his colleagues, he naturally would not stick to the old rules anymore and went directly to meet Qiu Xinggong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. Qiu Xinggong was the grandson of Qiu Shou, the general of the Eastern General of the Western Wei Dynasty, the son of Qiu He, the governor of Jizhou. Although he followed Li Shimin to fight Qianshuiyuan and later went to Luoyang, Xu Jingzong knew very well that Qiu Xinggong was the Princess Pingyang.

Qiu Xinggong, who was originally a Guanglu doctor, was moved to the position of Minister of Justice because he was harsh and cruel. According to the old rules, Xu Jingzong was unable to directly perform his duties in the Ministry of Justice when he first entered the official position. After taking office at the Ministry of Justice, he needed an internship. The process of duty assessment can be long or short, ranging from three to five months, or from one or two years.

However, when Qiu Xinggong saw that Xu Jingzong was holding Li Xiuning's red letter, he waved his hand and saved Xu Jingzong from being an intern and directly became a doctor of the seal.

With the official seal of the Bi Ministry, Xu Jingzong looked at the accounts sent by the departments. Since Xu Jingzong had been managing Chen Ying's outer courtyard industry over the years and handing over the Tang Dynasty Tongli Money House, following Chen Ying to learn the accounting methods of later generations, Xu Jingzong only glanced at and found the problems in the accounts.

Xu Jingzong instructed Bibu Sashi Zhou to be destined, and Xun Zuxin said: "Take out these suspicious accounts!"

Zhou Shide was secretly surprised. He was a veteran official for many years and was clear about the accounts reviewed by the Ministry of Bili. The key point was that Xu Jingzong could see the accounts in question at a glance when he had just taken office. He was obviously a clerk who was proficient in auditing. With such a superior, it would not be easy for them to do anything in the future.

Zhou Shide said: "Doctor, is it just an excerpt?"

Xu Jingzong said: "Yes, it's just an excerpt! The amount is not large, so there is no need to copy it!"

Xun Zuxin said in surprise: "Embracing of ten pieces (approximately equivalent to sacrificial responsibilities) is ignored, and more than ten pieces are enough to behead him."

Changsun Wuji's face twitched.

Zhou Shide came in with a stack of documents and said, "Doctor, these are just paid for reimbursement, will they be granted...

Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "Don't make a statement, reimburse him first."

Xu Jingzong put these accounts in his sleeves and said, "What did you do before, what else should you do now? This doctor will go to the East Palace first and come back!"

...

In the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng saw the silk book recording corruption information, and angrily slapped the table, swept the silk book to the ground, causing the old man to pull it.

Li Jiancheng pointed to the silk book and roared: "Xu Jingzong, are you just like Guangchen? You are sitting aside and watching those worms corruption? Why don't you take this opportunity to rectify the government affairs?"

Xu Jingzong retorted in a sarcastic tone: "This is not what His Royal Highness should be in charge of now. If you really want to manage this matter, think carefully about how to become emperor."

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

Xu Jingzong said: "As long as you become an emperor, you can manage these things as much as you want; if you don't want to be an emperor at all, not only can you not manage these things, but you should even think less."

Li Jiancheng roared in frustration and left angrily.

Xu Jingzong had a good time to prepare the land and slowly put away the silk book.

Wei Zheng looked at Xu Jingzong with thoughtful look on his face. He watched Li Jiancheng leave angrily and quickly chased after him.

Li Jiancheng stood depressedly outside the warm pavilion of the East Palace, allowing the cold wind to blow on his face. However, although the cold wind was cold, it could not extinguish the angry flames in Li Jiancheng's heart.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng's arrival and said angrily: "This Xu Jingzong has disappointed me so much!"

Wei Zheng knew the reason for Li Jiancheng's anger, but pretended not to know and asked, "Your Highness, how did Xu Jingzong provoke Your Highness?"

Li Jiancheng sighed helplessly and said word by word: "Xu Jingzong went to the Ministry of Justice to take office. He found a lot of corruption, at least ten pieces, and he would behead him directly according to the law."

Wei Zheng nodded without answering.

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "But what about Xu Jingzong? He took the evidence but did nothing, letting those worms continue to embezzle. I advised him to report to His Majesty, what did you say about Xu Jingzong..."

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng, with a smile on his face and said lightly: "What do you say?"

Li Jiancheng glared and said angrily: "He said that the father doesn't care about this at all, and His Highness the King of Qin doesn't care about it either. If I want to care about this matter, I will become the emperor first."

Li Jiancheng looked entangled and almost wailed: "But why should I wait for the future? Why can't I deal with it now?"

Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, you are so confused!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng in confusion and said, "Xuancheng, you say, you say.

Wei Zheng pointed at Li Jiancheng without any politeness and began to criticize: "Corruption is no longer an individual phenomenon. How many officials in the court are not corrupt? If your highness deals with them now, he will force them to the Qin Palace. Once your Highness promotes a great campaign to fight corruption, these officials will definitely be unable to sleep or eat, and they will definitely try every means to pull the prince down from the Eastern Palace!"

"I just pull it down. I really don't want to be such a frustrated prince?" Li Jiancheng said: "I swear to be incompatible with the criminals and are irreconcilable!"

Wei Zheng then talked: "Do you think you have the final say whether you are an emperor or not? What's important is that your Majesty wants you to be an emperor, Xiao Chen, you want you to be an emperor, the generals of the Eastern Palace, you want you to be an emperor, Princess Pingyang, General Chen, you also want you to be an emperor."

Li Jiancheng's face was slightly dark, and the hands in his big sleeves were unconsciously clenched into fists.

Wei Zheng said: "The King of Qin doesn't want you to be an emperor, but he thinks he wants to be an emperor; all the ministers of the King of Qin's palace think that the King of Qin is better than you. Now, it doesn't matter whether to be an emperor or not. What's important is that there will only be two completely different results for how you choose."

Li Jiancheng asked urgently: "What's the result?"

Wei Zheng stretched out a finger and raised it up: "One is that you became the emperor, and I, Wei Zheng, assisted the wise king. Our monarch and ministers work together to create a peaceful and prosperous era. All the ministers in Chang'an and the Eastern Palace have been promoted and awarded titles, and they are all very happy. The other is..."

Wei Zheng stopped and stretched out another finger. The next second, a smile suddenly appeared and said ruthlessly: "You are dead, I am dead, Your Highness King Jing will die, the Crown Princess will die, General Chen will die, Princess Pingyang will die, everyone will die..."

Li Jiancheng was shocked, stood up suddenly, staring at Wei Zheng in front of him.

Wei Zheng said lightly: "Your Highness, think about it, if it weren't for Du Fuwei's sudden attack, would you still have your life now? It's different from the past. In the past, our battle with the Qin Palace and the Qin Palace was just a very ordinary political struggle. Now it's life-and-death and hard to coexist!"

Li Jiancheng fell into silence.

Just then, Li Yuanji said excitedly: "Brother, I found out!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji and said, "What did you find out?"

"Who was instructed by that Guo Shaogang?" Li Yuanji smiled coldly and said, "Brother, you absolutely couldn't imagine who Guo Shaogang was, right?"

With Li Jiancheng's identity and status, how could he know that Guo Shaogang is a poor-minded minor official?

Li Yuanji said: "Guo Shaogang is Du Fengju's father-in-law, and this Du Fengju is Du Ruhui's cousin of the Qin Prince's Mansion, and Du Yan left a romantic wild species outside when he was young."

Wei Zheng said anxiously: "Where is Du Fengju? Are you dead?"

Li Yuanji said: "How could I let him die? He is living well now. Brother, let's take Du Fengju into the palace now and ask my father to give him justice!"

Wei Zheng asked, "Du Fengju is too brave, right?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "This bastard returns to the Du clan ancestor, so some people take it as a condition to join Du clan...he..."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough to convince people. Du Feng is too light in his weight. He must dig out the person behind him!"

...

The journey back to Beijing was boring. In order to alleviate the boredom of women such as Li Xiuning and Li Daozhen, Chen Ying sent someone to create mahjong for later generations and handed the rules of the game to Li Xiuning and others.

Thanks to Chen Ying's many women, Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, Chen Ying, He Yueer gathered together to form a table, Xu Erniang, Shentian Huayin, Hongxiu, and Luzhu gathered together to form a table.
