Hidden in the court

Now we all understand why General Hu was not present. He went there to avoid suspicion.

What else can you say? Can you say that women cannot be officials? The question is, are you saying that General Hu’s granddaughter cannot be an official, or the daughter of the Minister of Justice, or the princess?

"Announcement, Princess Changle Hu Die, and the daughter of the Minister of Justice Li Yi."

Soon, two figures appeared in the hall. They were Hu Die and Li Yi.

Everyone looked at the two girls and seemed to sense something extraordinary.

Nangong Lin looked at everyone happily, "If you have no objection, it's settled."

"I don't think that's right!"

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look, wanting to see which warrior this was.

At the rear of the civil officials came a group of about fifty old men, including Cui Geng, the director of the Imperial College.

Most people think that a mere fourth-rank official would dare to say such things.

"Why did Cui Siye say that?"

Nangong Lin's face was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Princess Changle followed Mulan's example and joined the army. She is extremely loyal and filial. She is truly a heroine, needless to say. Princess Bian and Li Yi, the daughter of Minister Li, were both my students. I naturally believe in their character.

I just think Ji Jun is not the right person. If we talk about the crimes of the Junior Supervisor, I am afraid Ji Jun has already committed all of them. This kid should be the first person to be disciplined by the Junior Supervisor. If he is made the Deputy Supervisor, it will not only be difficult to convince the public, but it will also damage the Junior Supervisor's dignity and be detrimental to the implementation of the work. "

When he said this, everyone reacted. Yes, when it comes to dandies, which young man can compare to him, Ji Mingshang. How many people can accept that such a person can be the deputy director?

Who would have thought that Nangong Lin was waiting for him to say this. He still had some use for Ji Mingshang, so how could he let him go to the Junior Supervisory Office?

"What Cui Siye said makes sense. How about this? You will be the deputy minister, enjoying the fourth-rank salary, and teach those boys etiquette and arithmetic for me."

Cui Geng was also surprised, but he reacted quickly.

"Sir, obey the order."

"Well, it is a good story for teachers and students to work together. You should work together to rectify the atmosphere in Bianjing. If this is successful, it can be implemented throughout the country, and it will definitely bring a new atmosphere."

After saying that, Nangong Lin put on a cold expression and said, "I also advise all the adults to take good care of the younger generation in your family from today on. If something happens, it will not look good for you all."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a person stood in front of the team.

"I request that my two sons be sent to the Junior Supervisor's Office!"

The person who said this was none other than the Minister of Revenue Jia Qian. Everyone looked at him and was also confused. What? Killing one's relatives for the sake of justice?

Jia Qian faced the surprised looks of the crowd and said firmly, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, my two sons have been idle all day long since they graduated from the Imperial College. They have no skills and I was busy with official duties and neglected to discipline them. To this day, they have become unfilial descendants who have ruined the family reputation.

As a parent, how can you not want your children to become pillars of society? Now that the Junior Supervisory Office has been established, it is a place for the younger generation to transform, which is a blessing for the younger generation. I sent my two sons there in the hope that they can change. I don’t ask them to be useful officials, but I ask them to be loyal, filial, chaste, and loyal to the country. "

The words were sincere and earnest, just like an old father with earnest expectations, which was very touching.

"You two young masters are quite knowledgeable, but you are not well disciplined and are a little naughty. Your Excellency, the Minister, do not need to do this."

Cui Geng spoke and affirmed the knowledge of Jia Ren and Jia Yi, which was some consolation.

Jia Qian also bowed to him and said, "Master, please forgive us for the past and teach us more."

Jia Qian certainly had his own reasons for doing this. First, the Junior Supervisory Office was newly established, so he would show his attitude to His Majesty through actions and show his face. Second, he said it would not affect his official career, but everyone knew that it would leave a bad impression. Anyway, with the crimes committed by his two little bastards, they would be arrested and imprisoned in the Junior Supervisory Office sooner or later, so he might as well take the initiative to send them in, so that it would not affect me. Third, he also felt that these two sons should be punished, otherwise they would be really useless.

This was the reason for the scene just now. The performance was so vivid that Nangong Lin almost believed it.

This Jia Qian is really...

I have to say, even though I know what Jia Qian is up to, his words are very nice! Who doesn't like a subordinate who supports you and speaks nicely?

"That's right."

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

Nangong Lin looked appreciative. In addition, he also saw Luo Wei quietly move half a foot out.

He looked at him with a smile, and Lowe also noticed his gaze. After thinking about it, he retracted the half foot he had moved out.

After Jia Qian said that, he really wanted to send Luo Lin in as well, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. His daughter is fine, it's all Ji Mingshang's fault!

At this time, Ji Mingshang, who was on his way to Jinling, sneezed without warning.

"Ah Qiu!"

"It's so dark in these deep mountains and old forests!"

The mountain road was narrow and rugged, the team was stretched out long, and there were only two or three soldiers guarding the carriage.

"Report! There was an accident ahead, someone fell into a trap."

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingshang collected his thoughts and immediately rushed to the front of the team.

I saw soldiers forming a circle in front, and Nangong Xiao and Nangong Bian also arrived.

In the middle of the soldiers, the road had sunk into a two-meter-deep pit, and the bottom of the pit was covered with sharpened bamboos. A personal soldier was lying in the pit. Fortunately, he was wearing armor and only had a stab wound on his thigh. But the warhorse he was riding was not so lucky. It fell into the pit and was stabbed by more than ten bamboos. The longest one went straight through his body, and blood beads were hanging from the tip.

"What are you doing standing still? Save people!"

Ji Mingshang roared, startling Nangong Xiao who was standing beside him.

Several soldiers quickly pulled the man up.

"Take good care of him, and let him recover at the next station. He can return to the team after he recovers."

"Yes."

Ji Mingshang frowned and stared at the dead horse in the pit, his thoughts wandering.

"Brother Ji, don't worry. This should be an accident. This is a trap used by hunters to deal with wild boars. I also learned a thing or two when I was in Nanyang."

Nangong Xiao spoke at the right time, and Ji Mingshang also came back to his senses: "Am I too nervous? I hope so..."

As they approached Jinling, Ji Mingshang felt more and more uneasy. This was already the second trap he had encountered along the way. In addition, there had been landslides and bandits before.

Ji Mingshang looked at Nangong Bian, who also had a gloomy face.

Nangong Bian couldn't help but said to Nangong Xiao: "Brother, do you still think it was an accident? This time the trap was dug in the middle of the road, and it was so big? There was no rain before, and the sun was shining for several days in a row. The cliff collapsed and blocked the road? The most suspicious thing is that group of bandits. They knew there were hundreds of cavalrymen, but they dared to show up? This is obviously intentional!"
