Chapter 71 Co-appointment

In the Tai Chi Temple.

Emperor Dagan, who hid his joy in his heart, sat upright on the dragon throne in the bowing ceremony of Lin Mo and other court officials, and was very energetic.

After the court officials stood up without rituals, Emperor Dagan asked Xiang to glance down and found Lin Mo standing beside Xuan Yuan, and smiled and said, "Lin Qing is back? Have you had a good time with several ladies these three days?"

When Lin Mo took Yan Baiyu and the four girls out for fun, he knew about Emperor Dagan. Therefore, Emperor Dagan knew about it and agreed that Lin Mo went out to hide in his leisure time. He happily watched the jokes of the two parties of Ronghou.

Lin Mo went out, bowed, and said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, I have had a good time with my ladies these three days. Finally, I shook my head and visited the beautiful scenery around our Gantian City."

"Lin Qing, where have you been going on this trip?" Emperor Dagan immediately became curious, as if he was going to have a chance to have a trip.

Knowing that Emperor Dagan wanted to deliberately hang Wang Rong and Xuan Yuan, Lin Mo also cooperated with each other: "Your Majesty, don't say anything, we..."

Listening to Lin Mo and Emperor Dagan's conversation, the court officials looked a little unfavorable. After the two chatted for about a quarter of an hour, King Rong finally couldn't help it and gave Dali Temple Minister Zhuo Ping a look in front of him.

After receiving the instructions from King Rong, Zhuo Ping immediately left the queue, gave a symbolic gift, and loudly interrupted Lin Mo and Emperor Dagan's family chat.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do to report."

Zhuo Ping's voice came out, and he also put King Rong's jade-respect. Xuan Yuan was almost out of touch. Emperor Dagan stopped talking to Lin Mo, corrected his posture, and said, "I don't know, what's the matter with Zhuo Qing to start the report?"

Zhuo Ping took out a memorial from his sleeve, Gao Yue, who stood on the right side of the dragon chaise, saw it, and presented it to Emperor Dagan.

Just as Emperor Dagan was reading the memorial, Zhuo Ping said: "I want to participate in the security guard camp commander Ji Qian to investigate the bandits in Heishuizhai, and deceive the king. A few days ago, he led his troops out of the city and begged His Majesty to give Ji Qian the death."

Lin Mo was not surprised at all when he heard that it was Zhuo Ping and Ji Qian.

After all, Zhang Guo and Fu Yunsheng, who died in Heishui Village, were both from King Rong. With the duties of the Dali Temple Minister and the supervisory officials, Ji Qian failed to encircle and suppress the Heishui Village, so Ji Qian should be reported by Ji Qian.

Emperor Dagan was a little unhappy when he heard that someone had participated in Ji Qian. After all, Ji Qian now has 20,000 soldiers, which is a considerable force. Emperor Dagan was thinking about pulling the "neutral" Ji Qian into his camp.

However, the memorial handed over by Zhuo Ping clearly listed Ji Qian's crimes. A few days ago, Ji Qian secretly led his troops out of the city to encircle and suppress the bandits in Heishuizhai. It was no longer a hidden matter.

He slowly put down the memorial, and the Emperor Dagan paused for a moment, and said to Gao Yue with a slightly bad face: "Gao Yue, please order people to immediately summon Ji, the commander of the Security Camp, to move into the palace."

"yes!"

Gao Yue turned around and was about to pass the imperial edict. At this moment, a small eunuch quickly walked into the hall. After performing his bow and bowing, he respectfully said: "Report to Your Majesty, Ji Qian, the commander of the Security Camp, is looking for a meeting outside the hall."

The court officials were stunned immediately, and Lin Mo also pretended to be stunned for a moment.

"Xuan him comes in." Emperor Dagan said lightly with a serious expression.

"Affect the order."

After bowing again, the little eunuch quickly retreated. Not long after going out, Ji Qian, who had untied his sword, walked into the hall. A long line followed behind him, two little eunuchs were carrying a box in a group.

That was the seized treasure chest, with ten.

Ji Qian came in and after performing the great bowing ceremony, he respectfully said: "Your Majesty, I only know that I am guilty. Today I came to apologize to you."

As he said that, Ji Qian pointed to the boxes and said, "This is the spoil obtained by completely destroying all the bandits in Heishui Village yesterday, worth 100,000 golden leaves?"

As soon as Ji Qian's words came out, everyone except Lin Mo, looked at everyone present instantly. Emperor Dagan was amazed. King Rong and Xuan Yuan's eyelids blinked unnaturally, and the other court officials were stunned.

Of course, the most exciting one is Zhuo Ping. He was about to take advantage of the situation to let Emperor Dagan rule Ji Qian for death, but Ji Qian suddenly came back, not only wiped out the bandits in Heishuizhai, but also brought back so many spoils.

Zhuo Ping was speechless and shocked: How is this possible? Didn’t Ji Qian always lose to Zhao Ling? How could he win suddenly yesterday?

Emperor Dagan looked at Zhuo Ping who was stunned and silent, and said, "How? Zhuo Qing, now General Ji has made up his merits and demerits."

"Yes, I understand!" Zhuo Ping, who came back to his senses, looked at Ji Qian unwillingly and returned to his original position.

The taxes of the Dagan Empire were relatively light, with a tax of about 700,000 gold leaves a year, while Ji Qian's spoils worth nearly 100,000 gold leaves was not bad. In addition, he completely wiped out all the bandits in Heishui Village, and his merits and demerits were offset.

Of course, the income of the Dagan treasury is naturally not just taxes, but also the tribute from the vassal states in the empire, as well as the income from the business of the royal government, the vassal states, and neighboring countries.

Ten thousand gold leaves! Lin Mo was thinking about this number in his heart and couldn't help but feel funny: the tax income of this year's hard work is only 700,000, which is not as good as the gray income of Rong Wang Xuanyuan and others in a year.

With both merits and demerits, Ji Qian retreated safely and soundly.

Ji moved away, and King Rong, who was responsible for receiving and handling all the things in this Western Regions mission, stood up, bowed, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to your will, I have prepared the Luanfeng Pavilion and the competition platform."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, the Emperor." Emperor Dagan nodded: "Today is the beginning of the third tribunal examination. Please pay more attention to this period. Don't make any omissions."

Emperor Dagan said, and glanced at Lin Mo who was standing there indifferently. Now Emperor Dagan only hopes that the final winner will be Lin Mo, not the ones of King Rong and Empress Dowager Xuan Shu.

If the people of King Rong or Princess Rena were married by Queen Mother Xuan Shu, their power would inevitably increase greatly. Then the emperor would be a disaster, and it would be even more difficult to regain the imperial power.

"Yes, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

Then King Rong briefly explained some of his arrangements for Princess Rena’s bride-recruiting ceremony. After the talk, when he saw the atmosphere fell into silence, Gao Yue stood up and shouted at the top of his throat.

"If there is a memorial, there is no memorial."

As soon as Gao Yue's words fell, Xuan Yuan stood up first, "Your Majesty, Meng Yan died, no one took over as a doctor of the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice has fallen into chaos. Please ask Your Majesty to be the Holy Prison as soon as possible."

Xuan Yuan's tone was a bit tough, which was almost no different from forcing the emperor to make a decision.

"My brother also begs Your Majesty to be the Holy Prison as soon as possible." King Rong naturally took the initiative and forced the Emperor to express his opinion today.

The voices of the two men fell, and the court officials of the two parties of Ronghou agreed: "Please be the Holy Prison as soon as possible."

Looking at the sounds of the court officials of the two parties of Ronghou, Lin Mo instantly realized: I can't stop me from surrounding me after the morning court yesterday. It turned out that the two families had agreed to throw this mess to the emperor today.

As soon as the court officials said, Emperor Dagan instantly lost his desire to gloat, but Emperor Dagan was also smart and immediately made a dilemma. After pretending to think for a while, he directly threw the problem to Lin Mo.

"Lin Qing, who do you think will be better for taking over as a doctor of the Ministry of Justice?"

He threw the hot potato to himself. Lin Mo, who had already taken the potato, naturally took it. He got out of the queue again, bowed, looked at King Rong and Xuan Yuan, and asked, "I wonder what candidates are there for His Highness King Rong and Shangqing Xuan? How about saying it out and let me refer to it?"

"I..." King Rong was about to say something, but unexpectedly he was interrupted by Emperor Dagan: "Lin Qing, let me tell you. King Rong recommended Geng Bai, the Minister of Justice, and Xuan Qing recommended Shi Fei, one of the heads of the Ministry of Justice."

"I understand, I understand."

According to the news in the court, although Lin Mo was in Feixue Villa outside the city, he knew it clearly. The reason why he asked this question was just pretending and walking through the process.

King Rong recommended Geng Bai, Xuan Yuan said that Geng Bai is over 50 years old and does not have the energy to manage the Ministry of Justice. Xuan Yuan recommended Shi Fei, and King Rong said that Shi Fei is just a small manager and his experience and ability are not lacking.

After the honor of this, the two parties quarreled.

After seeing Lin Mo say something, he fell into deep thought. After a moment, when Lin Mo's eyes lit up, the Emperor of Da Gan was happy and hurriedly asked and answered: "I wonder who Lin Qing likes? Or, is there any other candidates to recommend?"

It is obvious that the Minister of Justice is from King Rong, and the Chief of Justice Shi Fei is from Xuan Yuan, and the other candidates are from the other persons? This person who is out of the way is to recommend a third-party person. This thought of the Emperor made Lin Mo smile bitterly.

This great emperor actually had the plan to intervene in the six ministries. This is really...

Although Lin Mo was speechless, he did not choke in his mouth. He bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, how about I let Mr. Geng and Chief Shi jointly serve as the doctor of the Ministry of Justice?"

As soon as Lin Mo said this, the audience suddenly fell into silence. Those court officials looked at me and looked at you, as if they were saying it, was there something wrong with their ears?

After a moment of silence, without waiting for the Emperor Dakan to respond to the demon, Xuan Yuan said angrily: "It is not natural, it is not natural. Since the founding of the country, how can two people have served as a doctor at the same time?"

"Yes, is Lin Shangqing joking?" King Rong also said.

After the Emperor Dagan was concentrating for a moment, he seemed to understand something, frowned and asked, "Lin Qing, these two people are for any doctor to do my job, but there has never been such a precedent. Can you tell me the reason for your horrible thoughts?"

Lin Mo said: "Mr. Geng has sufficient experience and ability, but lacks energy. Shi is in charge of the affairs, but lacks energy. Are these two people complementing each other?"

As he said that, Lin Mo paused for a moment, observed the expressions of King Rong and Xuan Yuan, and continued: "Your Majesty, we can combine one large seal of the Ministry of Justice into two, and the two seals can be combined. Only major events in the Ministry of Justice can be decided. Your Majesty, what do you think?"
