Chapter 423 Autumn is getting cooler, men's and women's autumn moon

The weather is still fine after the Double Ninth Festival.

Only the west wind was getting cooler, quietly sending away the heat of midsummer. In the middle of the year, it finally rained for two days, and the green green leaves were stained with autumn in several evenings. The branches fell, the magnolia fragrance withered, but the red leaves on the distant mountains began to shine.

In a high pavilion in Ping'an Square, the nobles in brocade and jade sat at the window, looking through the gradual rain under the eaves, looking at a layer of wet clouds in the distant sky, and a golden tea with white smoke at hand.

A door rang.

Yu Yu withdrew his eyes from the window and looked at the steady teenager.

The teenager was about fifteen or six years old, with green cloth and brown hair and a cloth scarf, just like a dress for a wine shop. At this time, he did not kowtow to flatter him. He behaved like a scholar and bowed with a long bow.

"The son, my subordinates have detected that it is the staff of the Sixth Prince's Mansion who met Ji Wei in the elegant room on the east side."

Yu Yu nodded slightly.

The teenager waited for a few breaths. Seeing that the prince did not tell him, he retreated again. He saw several brocade men coming up on the wooden ladder and greeted him with a smile on his face, as if he were running hall.

In a moment, with another door ring, Wei Yuan came in.

"I expected that there was someone behind Ji Wei, but I didn't expect it to be the sixth prince." After Wei Yuan sat down, Yu Yu said.

"The Sixth Prince?" Wei Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled for a moment: "The son really didn't expect it? Only the sixth prince and the Xu family came up with such a bad move. Bao Dusi was responsible for his naturalization and tried to die with such a ridiculous charge.

Yu Yu smiled and said, "Qin Xiang indulged Ji Wei's several jumps. It turned out to be a two-bird plan. Although the sixth prince is not enough for the fourth prince to pay attention to it, he can let the emperor know his ambition, which is beneficial and harmless to the fourth prince."

"Do you want to report it truthfully?" Wei Yuan frowned slightly: "This will inevitably involve the dispute over the position of storage."

Yu Yu sighed: "Since the emperor has let the inspection, of course he has to report it truthfully... Has Lv Jian left?"

In the case of Guihua Baodusi, Lv Jian finally came to the case. Of course, it was not a joint name with the officials Ji Wei found, nor did it impeach Bao Dusi, but asked the emperor to strictly investigate the case. First, find out whether Baodusi's order to shoot the prisoners was because of the urgency of the incident, or to avoid human life. After the truth is clear, it is not to decide whether Bao Dusi is guilty or not.

In fact, there has been a spy in the naturalized border army for a long time. The emperor has made it clear that Bao Dusi is not guilty, but he still approved Lv Jian's request and awarded him to be an imperial envoy to investigate the truth in naturalization. It is nothing more than to investigate Lv Jian to see if he can take on the heavy responsibility.

"It was the start of today. There was a royal history to see her off in the Metropolitan Inspection House, and some of them secretly scolded Lv Jian for not knowing how to praise her." Wei Yuan obviously watched a farce. At this time, he drank tea and smiled with the corners of his lips.

"It's not to mention that those who are united by Ji Wei must be unconvinced." Yu Yu shook his head.

"They are scolding vigorously, and there is an order from the Ministry of officials to transfer them to the local 'practice'. The highest is the county magistrate, and there are even those who go to the border city to serve as the master." Wei Yuan said.

Although the emperor did not notice the people behind Ji Wei, he has already taken action against several imperial historians with selfish desires. Although their rank is not high, because they have the responsibility to impeach hundreds of officials in the Metropolitan Inspection Institute, they have extremely heavy authority. This time, the downgrading to the place is actually be derogatory. If you know more, you can make political achievements in Xiaxian County, you may be able to keep the top of the black veil. If you still don't reflect on yourself, you will only go to commit a crime sooner or later.

"How can the emperor tolerate that only the sixth prince stretched out his hand to the border army?" Wei Yuan is worried.

Yu Yu didn't care about it and took a sip of tea: "The father and brother of Li have been idle since they lost their officials last time, and they are not a family of eunuchs. It is not a problem. It should be the sixth prince who intends to win over the officials, but most of the imperial court of the imperial court are students of Qin, and he can't win over high and powerful people, and only Ji Wei is not high or low. Seeing the wind, the helmsman will be entangled by him. The border guard officers are mostly selected from the royal army. Without the order of the imperial court, they are not allowed to leave the land without authorization. No matter how stupid the sixth prince is, he also knows this rule. This time, he helps Ji Wei's brother-in-law to compete for a position, but just wants to win over Ji Wei. His intention is not military power, and Ji Wei has no other ambitions. I just want to take this opportunity to get my brother-in-law promoted in the army.

Wei Yuan thought for a moment and was relieved: "I'm just worried that there will be chaos at this jum. If so, the emperor should not interfere in the open and secret struggle of the princes for the time being."

Yu Wei thought that Dalong has only been founded for more than 30 years. At present, most of the military guards of all parties are from the meritorious deeds of the dragon, and the war has subsided. For more than ten years, the Tian family has not had the opportunity to rectify the soldiers and guards for a while. However, in the old pension case, Yuan Qi wants to rebel and has let the emperor guard against it.

When the official system is reformed and the imperial power is strengthened, it is the turn to improve the military system.

At present, those who are prominent in the army should be promoted to defend the Duke's Mansion and the King's Mansion of Chu.

Gaozu, Taizong and today's three generations of emperors are very dependent on the two mansions. Perhaps in the future, they will become more and more afraid of the heavenly family.

Duke Wei should also have this level of concern. Although he is still in charge of the Beijing guard, he let his eldest son Su Xing go from the civil official.

Today, he should not be afraid of the two governments, but the new emperor will be very difficult to say in the future. Even if the two governments intend to show loyalty and are willing to step down, the new emperor may still be afraid of the prestige of the two governments in the army.

If you want to protect the peace of the family, the two governments have to be involved in the dispute over the throne. Only by gaining the trust of the new emperor can they hand over the military power at a suitable time.

Thinking of this, Yu Yu couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, just because he couldn't understand the heart of the emperor at this time. It seemed that he still had expectations for the prince and paid close attention to the open and secret struggle between several princes. However, even if he suspected the fourth princes of plotting to kill the prince's heir, it was only a small punishment and did not delve into it.

It's really unpredictable.

You still have to work step by step and steadily. At least at present, it is not the time to hand over the military power.

After a while of meditation, Yu Yu said a few more words to Wei Yuan and left this restaurant.

The autumn rain did not stop, and the long street was soaked, and the west wind was somewhat chilly. Yu Yuan put on his shoulders and put on the brocade cloak. While stepping on the iron shovel to get on the car, he ordered to go to the household government.

Since several officials who followed Ji Wei's impeachment of the generals have been demoted, it is presumably that Ji Wei's position as a Beijing official is also precarious. Even if the Holy One wants to prevent the Sixth Prince from getting too deep, he will punish Ji Wei's small punishment. Then, it's time for him to go to the household department to "wake up" one or two.

Just after noon, Han Shangshu and two waiters also came back from lunch in the outer street. They were chatting with a cup of tea. Hearing that the prince of Chu was coming, they looked at each other for a while and hurriedly greeted them.

After a cold noise, Yu Yu said something.

"The list of appointed officials of various ministries this autumn has been handed over to Zhongshu Province, and the Holy Order Cabinet has been inspected. I looked at the evaluation of the Ministry of Household, but the performance evaluation of several new officials is inconsistent with the facts."

Hearing this, Han Shangshu became nervous, but he was really suspicious.

In this autumn's examination, the employees of the household department are just officials below the eighth grade. They are all Guozi supervisors and pass the political assessment. For these low-quality officials, as long as they are recommended by each department and approved by the Ministry of Officials in previous years, Zhongshu Province will generally not be picky, and the Holy Minister will not observe them. How can this year, it have shocked the chief ministers of the cabinet?

Yu Yu took a look at several household ministers who were sitting in danger and smiled gently: "The emperor has decreed the resumption of the imperial examination, implemented the official system reform, and naturally pays attention to the entry evaluation. Although the officials of your household department this time are all below the eighth grade, and the cabinet does not dare to neglect it. Unexpectedly, one of the supervisors, since Since the observation of politics, I'm afraid that I haven't even been to the household government office several times, but the same few masters often go in and out of Yihong Street, called brothers and have a strong friendship. I don't know if this person can really be proficient in the government affairs of the Ministry of Household, enough to award officials?

did not point out who the person was.

Of course, Han Shangshu was not stupid enough to ask the man's name and surname, and quickly asked the two subordinates: "I will hand over Qiu Ju's matter to the two masters. Is there such an absurd thing?"

Because the grade of this autumn's recruiters is not high, the left and right waiters will not personally review it, and they will be handed over to their subordinates. Naturally, they can't answer an ugly Mao, and they will be guilty of crimes.

"The reform of the official system is in the right place, and you should be cautious. I have handed over the list to the Ministry of Officials. I think someone will look for your inspection in these three or two days. I believe that Han Shangshu will deal with it seriously." After saying this, Yu Yu didn't stay much and left.

The red sandalwood car went straight into the imperial city and stopped in front of Zhengyang Gate. Yu Yu entered the palace under the drizzle and went to the imperial study to tell Ji Wei and the staff of the Sixth Prince's Mansion. The emperor really did not say anything about it. Yu Yu Yu returned to the Wenyuan Pavilion on duty of the cabinet and discussed the details of various prefectures and state officials with the scholars of Su University. He saw Su Wei following in and said The emperor summoned the servant of the Ministry of Public Affairs and ordered Ji Wei to be transferred to Kangping as the county magistrate.

Not only is the place of bitter cold, but also sparsely populated. Ji Wei was demoted more severely than those imperial historians this time.

"The emperor is really... Ji Wei has the problem of old cold legs. This time it's miserable, alas." Su University scholar sighed, but the corners of his eyebrows were full of smiles.

Bao Dusi is also the old department of the old country, and the university scholar of Su is actually expressing his joy of disaster.

The cabinet bachelor can generally resign from the palace, but today the emperor summoned two cabinet departments to discuss. When Yu Yu and Su Yu came out of the Zhengyang Gate, the sky was already dark and the rain seemed to be urgent. Su Yu invited Yu to eat nearby. When the rain slowed down and returned to the palace, he was rejected by Yu Yu: "Grandma because of this autumn rain, I accidentally caught the wind and cold, and I had a little fever the day before yesterday. The scenery has been serving in Rongxi Hall for two nights. I have to hurry back and have a look.

Su Zhi heard that the old princess was not feeling well, so she hurriedly asked the royal doctor. When she knew that there was no big problem, she said she was lucky. Instead, she urged Yu to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, when Yu Yuan arrived at the door of the royal palace, he heard the report from the porter that a visitor had been waiting for an hour. The royal palace was well-known, and there were often visitors, most of whom were received by subordinate officials. The Lao porter specifically reported that he should insist on seeing the prince himself.

Yu Yu was worried about the old princess in his heart, and he was worried that he couldn't stand it for two days. He was a little impatient. He took over the post and saw the name of Gu Qiuyue written on it. He remembered that it was Yin Yong's cousin and didn't want to see her. He only told Huidu to let the clear sky socialize and changed to a soft sedan chair. Rongxitang just heard that after the old princess took the medicine from the imperial hospital, her body temperature had dropped. In the afternoon, she used a bowl of white porridge, which was much more energetic than yesterday, and then persuaded Yijing to return to Guan Suiyuan, and the old princess had just rested.

Yu Yu was slightly relieved and could not disturb the old princess. She returned to Guan Suiyuan. After she came back, she fell asleep with a pillow. She was deeply afraid of disturbing her rest. At this time, she was not allowed to cook the meal.

He also heard from the clear sky and said that Gu Qiuyue came to see the matter of the Hu family's alley house. He couldn't make the decision, so he had to let Gu Qiuyue wait for a moment to ask the world's son.

Yu Yu was so surprised that he invited Gu Qiuyue to the outer court for an interview.

He also said that Gu Qiuyue, since he met Yu Yu in the western suburbs by chance, he wanted to adore. He didn't want to become an official. His interest was in business. Of course, it would be very helpful if he had a relationship with the powerful. Knowing that his cousin Yin Yong was valued by the son of the world and pestered for many days, he asked Yin Yong to send a post to visit him, but he was invited by Yin Yonghao. Don't hesitate to refuse.

Gu Qiuyue couldn't find the next doorway and was depressed, but she didn't expect to have a God-given opportunity.

So today, I boldly handed over the famous post. At this time, I followed the clear sky to Guan Suiyuan and looked around all the way. I saw the corridor turning, the courtyard was heavy, the vegetation was sparse, and the pavilions were scattered. I walked for a moment before entering the main gate of Guan Suiyuan.

I smacked my tongue.

The clear sky took him to the flower hall next to the door, and then reported it internally. Gu Qiuyue sat for a while and couldn't help standing in the porch outside the door to enjoy the unique landscape in the autumn rain in the evening.

Suddenly, I heard a sound: "Autumn Moon."

I saw a girl dressed in plum armor at the end of the corridor. She was stunned and bowed her hand: "How can a girl know me?" When I saw the girl's beautiful eyebrows, my heart jumped inexplicably.

The girl was also stunned. She was just far away, and the place where Gu Qiuyue stood was also a little dark. She only vaguely saw a figure. Unexpectedly, she was a foreign guest. She was too busy to explain.

Gu Qiuyue heard another crisp sound behind him: "Xia Ke, did you come here to welcome me?"

It turned out that today Qiuyue was ordered to go to the Duke's mansion to send the newly harvested fruits and vegetables in Zhuangzi. She took half a day's leave and didn't come back until the evening to gossip with the former good maid. Xia Ke ordered her to go to the king of Chu's study to deliver something. He happened to see her and called her, but he didn't want to let Gu Qiuyue misunderstand.

Knowing that she would be wrong, Gu Qiuyue was not embarrassed and still bowed to Qiuyue: "It's a coincidence that the girl has the same name as me."

Xia Ke looked at Gu Qiuyue again, only smiled, and said to Qiu Yue, "The old princess has receded. The imperial concubine returned to Guan Suiyuan in the afternoon. I have something to do, and there is only Chundu in the room. Go and respond quickly." He rushed to the ancient autumn moon and blessed himself before he went out.

Qiu Yue stared at the two autumn waves, looked at the ancient Qiuyue for a long time, and looked nervous, and then laughed and said, "Lang Jun is also called Qiu Yue. This is the name of a woman."
