Chapter 75: Shaoqing

The emperor roughly finished reading. He handed the memorial to the queen, smiling satisfied, and said with a smile: “You are doing a good job. I heard that the wife of the Tibetan Sword Villa also presented dozens of swords to the imperial court? ”

“Yes.” Li Chaoge said quickly before Gu Mingke, “Her husband killed Xu Xingning, the third governor, and her father also forced Liang to become a slave. She was very guilty after learning these things and was willing to take possession of the Sword Villa? A sword is offered to pray for the saint’s forgiveness.”

Although the emperor is the ninth-five, he is very kind and will not anger others. He saw that Sheng Lanchu was conspired by her husband to seize the family property and calculated betrayal. He felt sorry for him. Now Sheng Lanchu still offers all the Tibetan swords, the emperor has benefited, and the dragon heart? Joy, said: “Nothing, she is weak. It is not easy for a woman to guard her family’s birth. The wrong thing was done by her father and husband and has nothing to do with her. Let’s stop this case.”

Weak woman? Li Chaoge laughed softly in his heart, but did not answer. At this time, the Queen of Heaven also finished watching. Seeing the cause and effect, the Queen sighed: “The family was ruined because of a rumor, and the wives were scattered. Did you find the sword?”

Gu Mingke stood coldly, and Yu Guang glanced at Li Chaoge with a smile. Li Chaoge didn’t notice the look in Gu Mingke’s eyes, and said without changing his face, “I can’t find my children. Maybe it’s the secret of Wu Jin’s original possession. Maybe Xu Xingning found the sword and pretended that he didn’t have it, and secretly sent it away. Maybe it was by other culprits. Stole it.”

The Queen nodded and did not speak. Now that all the parties involved are dead, it is hard to say whose hands the Qianyuan Sword is in. The emperor didn’t care much about Qianyuan Sword. He had just acquired a large number of swords. It didn’t hurt to have one more or one less? The Qianyuan Sword was no more than an ordinary sword in the eyes of the emperor. It was just a little older. It is good to have it, but it is nothing if it is not.

The emperor said: “If you can’t find it, you can’t find it. A sword of this age? It’s probably rusted out of use. Chaoge, you child is so sincere. You didn’t keep a handle and sent it up intact. Now. What do I want to do with so many swords? In a while, you can pick a few you like.”

Gu Mingke lowered his head and smiled, with a small smile on his lips. Li Chaoge was embarrassed, and quickly declined: “This is the Tibetan Sword Villa dedicated to the saint. It is not appropriate for the children.”

“It’s okay.” The emperor said, “You are filial? You deserve a reward. Feel free to choose.”

The Queen also said: “Yes, Chaoge, the saint loves you, just accept it.”

Li Chaoge felt that Gu Mingke laughed again. Li Chaoge was so embarrassed that he couldn’t be seen on the surface. He bit the bullet and accepted the emperor’s praise: “The saint is rewarded, and the children obey the orders. Thanks to the saint, the queen.”

The emperor looked at Gu Mingke. I wonder if it was because of the beauty filter. The more the emperor looked at Gu Mingke, the more pleasing he was. It’s a pity that he and Pei Ji’an are cousins, and the two princesses of Pei Jiashang are a little too grand.

However, when Li Chaoge is sixteen this year, the marriage is not in a hurry, and he can pick it up slowly. The emperor said: “You two have made great contributions this time. You deserve a reward. Gu Mingke, how old are you this year?”

Why do you suddenly ask about your age? Gu Mingke remembered the setting of this identity, sighed inwardly, and replied: “Returning to a saint, the minister is eighteen years old.”

“Two years old from Chaoge.” The emperor murmured. He remembered that Pei Ji’an was also there, and then asked, “Dalang Pei is almost the same age, right?”

Pei Ji’an put down his pen and saluted: “The minister is seventeen this year.”

Taking advantage of the opportunity to reply, Pei Ji’an was finally able to look at Li Chaoge in an open manner. However, she did not look in this direction at all, still standing quietly beside Gu Mingke.

“They are all handsome young men.” The emperor sighed. “This month, Dali Siqing took over as the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, and introduced you before leaving. Dali Temple is vacant and should be taken over by a deputy, but this is the case. Here, Shaoqing is empty again. It just so happens that Dali Temple Qing and Shaoqing commented on you very well. Shaoqing’s position is up to you.”

Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows in surprise. There are too many monks in officialdom and there are few porridges. After the person above leaves, the vacant seats are topped up by the people below. Dali Temple Shaoqing became Zhengqing, and the new Shaoqing should be promoted from the five-rank temple. But now the emperor has let Gu Mingke on top. Gu Mingke’s current official position is directly promoted from Liupin Temple Cheng? From the fourth stage Shaoqing, it is really an exceptional promotion.

The people in the hall showed a look of envy, even Pei Ji’an found it rare. Everyone had different expressions, but Gu Mingke, who was in the center of his sight, calmly and unhurriedly, saluted and said, “Thank you, saint.”

After the emperor promoted Gu Mingke, he looked at Li Chaoge and asked, “Chaoge, what do you want? A reward?”

Li Chaoge’s official position has come to an end, and he really can’t be promoted anymore. Li Chaoge thought for a while, and said, “The saint and queen have already rewarded the son-chen with many things, but the son-chen is really nothing? There is nothing missing. It’s just that there are too many rewards and there is no place to put it. It would be nice if it can be changed to a spacious place.”

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he felt that this was a nonsense with his eyes open. There is no place to put fart rewards. Are so many palaces in the palace furnishings? She sullen her face solemnly, as long as she is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. How could the emperor and the queen not understand, the queen said helplessly, “The female congress is not here. No matter, the princess mansion is almost completed. After the new year, you can pick a lucky day and move to the princess mansion.”

Li Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded, “Thank you, Saint Queen.”

Looking at the speed of her response, it seemed as if she was afraid that she would not be able to move if she answered slowly. The daughter was so anxious to come up with the palace, the emperor saw her, she felt so hearty? The situation was complicated.

The emperor was quite bitter, saying: “Since Li Huai has the palace, he runs out every day, and now you have to move out. After two years, A Le will also leave. The child is old and can’t be kept, so he will leave. Bar.”

This was not easy to answer, Li Chaoge paused, and said, “We are in the Eastern Capital. Whoever the saint wants to see is just a matter of words. Besides, there is a prince.”

The princess and the prince will move out of the palace when they reach adulthood, but the prince lives in the east palace and does not leave the palace as easily as the emperor. When the emperor heard the prince, he sighed and said anxiously: “The prince is in poor health. I heard that he is too sick to get out of bed in the past few days. He is the future king of a country with such a weak body. How will he manage his politics in the future?”

The Queen didn’t panic, and said with relief: “The saint should not worry, the house is full, and can’t you share the worries with the prince? The saint should not put too much pressure on the prince. The prince is just worried? I feel depressed and become sick from overwork.”

The emperor waved his hand, not wanting to talk about these things. No matter how much? The wise and capable emperor always has trouble talking about the heir. The emperor said: “Fine, let the prince raise his body first. It will be the New Year soon, when the Yuanri celebration, all nations will come to celebrate, and the envoys of Fanbang will come to the eastern capital to worship. As the prince of a country, if the prince is absent to congratulate Yuanri. , I will definitely be made a fuss by those Fanbang people. During this period, the prince will feel at ease? Heal, don’t delay the Winter Solstice and Yuan Day.”

The waiter crossed his hands and responded respectfully. Regarding the prince, Li Chaoge did not rush in. Seeing that the emperor and the queen had something to discuss, she said in a timely manner: “The saint is kind. If the children do not disturb the saint and the queen, this will leave.”

Li Chaoge bid farewell, and Gu Mingke came out with him. After leaving the palace, Li Chaoge immediately caught up with Gu Mingke and asked, “Gu Mingke, how do you explain the memorial?”

Gu Mingke said indifferently: “When you return to the dynasty and return to life, naturally you have to prepare the relevant documents. I? I reminded you when I was in the Cangjian Villa, why? I didn’t write it, so I should ask yourself.”

Li Chaoge choked, thinking back at this moment, she seemed to be really impressed. Li Chaoge snorted, not to be outdone: “Isn’t it just a case closure report, I can also write. The first work is the town demon division, you don’t want to take it away.”

Gu Mingke just smiled slightly at this: “Okay, wait and see.”

Li Chaoge returned to the Town Demon Division fiercely. In the Town Demon Division, Bai Qianhe and Ma Linlang had changed their clothes and sat down. Zhou Shao was still wearing the original clothes, sitting in the corner with his head down, looking very silent.

Li Chaoge strode into the east hall with a stride, and the others raised their heads together when they heard the sound. Li Chaoge gave a light cough and Zhengrong said: “Now, there is a very important task to be entrusted to you.”

Li Chaoge’s tone was so serious, it seemed to be a major event, and the three of Bai Qianhe stood up solemnly. Li Chaoge said with a sullen face, “The two cases in Luzhou need a summary report, which requires conciseness and literary talent. Who will write it?”

There was a long silence in the hall. Li Chaoge was very calm. She found a place to sit down and said, “Anyway, the candidate will be selected from the three of you. You can decide for yourself.”

Bai Qianhe had never encountered such an excessive request in his lifetime. Bai Qianhe wondered: “Why? We wrote it, not you? You are the commander.”

Li Chaoge calmly said, “Because I am your boss.”

“…”

Bai Qianhe was stunned, and when he reacted, he was surprisingly angry. This is a blatant officialdom oppression and abuse of power! Is the official position great?

Bai Qianhe was filled with righteous indignation and was about to call on everyone to boycott Li Chaoge. He saw Mo Linlang first raise his hand and whispered: “Princess, I have never been to a school and can’t write.”

When Zhou Shao heard this, he also said, “I’ve been fighting since I was young, and I don’t know a few big characters.”

Bai Qianhe’s eyes widened in shock. What do they mean? They don’t understand words, so Bai Qianhe can only write it?

Outrageous! Bai Qianhe was so angry that he had liver pain, and said angrily: “Fart, I? Have you read too many books? You two are illiterate, so you have to practice more. You should love each other in the same class. This is a summary. Let it to you.”

Li Chaoge waved faintly, interrupting the three of them killing each other, and said: “Let’s do it, guess the box, roll the dice, play the cards, you choose one, and the person who loses writes. It will be tomorrow, you don’t waste time.”

After a brief silence, Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao chose to roll the dice. Because Ma Linlang really couldn’t write, he was excluded from this round, leaving only Zhou Shao and Bai Qianhe to face off.

Bai Qianhe held the dice cup and shook it fast, and finally he slammed it on the table with a thud. After opening it, it was four six.

Li Chaoge smiled and watched the two old fried dough sticks fight at the top of the old one. Bai Qianhe pushed the dice cup to Zhou Shao, smiled and arched his hands: “Accept. Please.”

Bai Qianhe’s points were already the largest, but Zhou Shao didn’t panic when he picked up the dice cup. He shook it a few times and buckled it on the table. After opening it, it turned out to be full of spring.

Among the dice, the same color is more expensive, and the miscellaneous is cheap, and the red is the most expensive among the same color. Man Yuanchun had four red dots and four, which was the highest prize. Zhou Shao won.

Bai Qianhe was stunned for a moment, and then angrily: “You come out of the old man! Do you think I am? Didn’t you see it?”

Zhou Shao looked disgusted: “If you lose, you will lose. Don’t be jumbled.”

“I? Don’t believe me, come again!”

Li Chaoge knocked on the table and stopped the two gambling in time: “Okay, Bai Qianhe, I would like to give up the gambling. Come on this time.”

Bai Qianhe’s qi was in his heart, and his face was gloomy. This is shady, shady officialdom!

After Li Chaoge transferred the pain to other people, he got up refreshed and walked outside: “Okay, you continue to stay, I’m leaving first. You are not allowed to slip early, and wait for the office to leave. If you get caught I? Catch someone who is passive and sabotage, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Li Chaoge himself blatantly arrived late and left early, but asked his subordinates to wait enough time before leaving get off work. When Li Chaoge was about to go out, what did he think of? He turned around and said to Mo Linlang: “It’s not a problem that Mo Linlang can’t write, Zhou Shao, isn’t your wife from a scholarly family?”

Zhou Shao was stunned. At this time, Bai Qianhe added for him: “It’s his ex-wife. They are separated.”

Zhou Shao cursed, almost wanting to punch him to death. Li Chaoge stopped the fight with a cold face and said, “Stop it. The furnishings here are very expensive. If you break it, you will pay for it? Ex-wife or wife, anyway. Almost, let Ma Linlang give out a copy of Shuxiu and learn how to write with Xun Siyu. Shuxiu’s money will be paid in advance from Ma Linlang’s salary.”

Li Chaoge left after speaking. A long time after Li Chaoge left, Zhou Shao slapped his forehead hard: “Yeah, I? Why didn’t you think of this way! Little sister Mo, you don’t need to pay for the money, Shu Xiu, I will help you. You talk to her more and watch for me. It’s enough to see her life well.”

Bai Qianhe made a mouth cut, and Yoyo found a place to report. He spread out the rice paper, studied the ink in a decent manner, moistened the pen, and then looked at the snow-like white paper in front of him, suddenly felt that his mind was blank. What did Li Chaoge say before? Come, concise and literary?

What is this? Wonderful request, don’t these two words mean completely opposite?

Bai Qianhe scratched his head and thought about it all night. The next day, with big dark circles under his eyes, nervously and with a little expectation, he knocked on the door of the main hall.

Li Chaoge’s voice came from inside: “Enter.”

Bai Qianhe pushed the door to enter, handed a copy of the paper with both hands, and then looked at Li Chaoge expectantly. Li Chaoge opened it and swept it roughly, her brows solidified in an instant, she resisted looking at the five or six lines, her expression becoming more and more restrained.

Seeing Li Chaoge expressionless, Bai Qianhe asked nervously, “How is it?”

Li Chaoge took a deep breath, gritted his teeth? The fold like a ghost symbol was thrown on Bai Qianhe’s face: “What are you writing? Dog stuff, ugly me? Eyes hurt. Rewrite!”

Bai Qianhe took the report off his face and read it carefully. His mother looked at his child, how pleasing to his eyes: “Although the words are indeed a little more elegant…but I? The sentence is very poetic. .”

Poetic your grandma’s legs. Li Chaoge took a deep breath and tried to restrain his words: “Go back and rewrite.”

Bai Qianhe spread his hands and looked dead pig: “Commander, it’s not that I don’t work hard, but I really can only write it at this level. Don’t look at the curly noodles. Actually, I copied it twice. It’s a fruit. If you don’t believe me, I’ll write it to you now.”

“No need to show it.” Li Chaoge pinched his eyebrows, and said patiently, “I believe it. Go away, come back, take your dog crawling character, and go together.”

Bai Qianhe took up his masterpiece with affection and said, “The commander, so? A good literary talent, don’t you stay for reference?”

Li Chaoge laughed angrily: “No need, get out!”

After Bai Qianhe rolled, Li Chaoge resigned himself to spread out the rice paper and rubbed his pen to write. She shouldn’t place hope on her men, these people did not share the worries for her in the slightest, on the contrary, they also delayed her all night.

Li Chaoge skillfully wrote the beginning of the memorial template. When the minister wrote the memorial to the saint, it was inevitable that he would have to say some beautiful words and greet the saint’s body by the way. As early as in her previous life, Li Chaoge was used to writing these things. She memorized several versions to ensure that they could be integrated and used flexibly. She finished writing a paragraph, moistened the pen, and then held the pen, stunned.

What to write next?

Zhen Yaosi was a half-private prison in his previous life. What did the emperor dislike? People would arrest him, and no evidence was needed. After entering the prison, he was tortured and served, and they could quickly ask what they needed. The Town Demon Division handles the case like this, so naturally there is no need for it? The verdict, summary of evidence, and so on.

They only need to pass the information that the emperor wants to the imperial case. The only thing Li Chaoge has to do is to guess the empress’s intentions and know what the empress wants to see. This was Li Chaoge’s first contact with a serious court document.

She regretted that she had just threw Bai Qianhe’s report outside. Li Chaoge stared at his zigzag, struggled for a long time, and finally resigned the paper into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket.

She actually wanted to give up. She is the daughter of a princess, an emperor and a queen, with a unique identity. She can face the saint at any time, what is there? The request does not need to be approved by the official agency, and you can directly request the emperor. She didn’t need to embarrass herself with the red tape of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department.

But Li Chaoge stared at the blank paper in front of him for a long time, and finally spread it out. In her previous life, she had suffered from not being accepted by the mainstream, and in her first life, she would never let the Demon Squad Division become the emperor’s lynching tool. In the early days of the previous empress’s reign, those cool officials were so beautiful, but once the empress didn’t need them, they would immediately become a stepping stone for the empress to wash her fame.

The sly rabbits cook, the birds do their best to hide. Even if the cool official is like this, how can the town demon division die? In her previous life, Li Chaoge was awake step by step towards destruction. She knew that she was causing public outrage, but to survive, she had to kill more people. Later, she was forced to a desperate situation and had to kill the king to rebel.

One step wrong step wrong, in this life, she must completely separate the line from the ruthless official. The first step is to become an official court institution on the same level as the nine temples. That being the case, Dali Temple must do the relevant procedures and the Town Demon Division must do the same.

Li Chaoge had written five pieces of paper and was finally desperate. Everything is difficult at the beginning. She has limited ink in her stomach. It is too difficult for her to make things out of nothing. Li Chaoge decided to go to Dali Temple and refer to how Gu Mingke wrote it.

The main hall of the Town Demon Division was closed, and Bai Qianhe knew that Li Chaoge was busy reporting, and his feelings were absolutely bad, so no one dared to approach the main hall all morning. It is precisely because of this that they did not know that the main hall? People have already gone to the building.

Li Chaoge bypassed the crowd all the way and landed in front of Shaoqing’s office palace in Dali Temple. Li Chaoge put his ear on the window, listening carefully, and found that there was no one inside. She thought God would help me, and immediately opened the window and jumped in.

In the palace? Quietly, a golden beast in the corner was slowly spitting blue smoke. The pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and scroll paper are sorted out, and everything is neatly organized.

At first glance, it is Gu Mingke’s style. He has just been promoted to Dali Shaoqing and has a lot of things to be busy, but now he doesn’t know where to go. This was just convenient for Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge turned around to fit the doors and windows, walked gently to the book table, and quietly flipped through his memorials.

Miansheng’s memorial should be copied for several minutes, and kept in Dali Temple, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province for the record. Gu Mingke must have a backup here. Li Chaoge was rummaging, and suddenly there was a voice outside.

“Shaoqing, these are the homicide files sent from various places in the past three months. Many of the cases cannot be solved by the local county magistrate. I implore Dali Temple for help. In addition, there are still unsuccessful cases in previous years.

The door squeaked open, and Gu Mingke and two people in the dark blue official uniforms of Dali Temple appeared at the door. Gu Mingke changed into a scarlet robe from the fourth rank, with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful face. Gu Mingke said: “I? Got it. Put the file here? Go down.”

The attendant was stunned for a moment: “Shaoqing, these files are so heavy, the next official will help you move them to the table.”

“No.” Gu Mingke said, “Just put it at the door, I will move it myself. Let’s go out.”

The attendants crossed their hands and stepped back. Gu Mingke pushed the door slowly, walked to the window, and gently wiped off the fine dust on the window edge with his force: “There is a door, don’t jump the window next time.”

Li Chaoge knew that he couldn’t hide it from him, so it was boring to hide. She leaped from the beam of the room, and when she landed on the ground, she made no sound. Li Chaoge didn’t have the shame of trespassing into other people’s space, and said openly: “I? Come and see if your memorial is well written.”

Gu Mingke didn’t bother to correct her. He reached out to the pile of papers on the side of the table and said, “Princess Lao has commented on it. It’s inside. Find it yourself.”

Li Chaoge searched again this time, and sure enough, he found it after only two copies. After sitting at the table, Li Chaoge spread out the paper and started writing. What suddenly came to her mind? She straightened up and coughed, with a solemn expression on her face: “I? Don’t copy, I’m just a comment.”

According to Gu Mingke’s original character, he absolutely cannot tolerate such fraudulent behavior, but the target is Li Chaoge, he does not know what to do with her, and simply leaves her alone. When Gu Mingke couldn’t see it, after Li Chaoge made a special statement, he took Gu Mingke’s pen, used Gu Mingke’s ink, and occupied his paperweight, and began to struggle with writing.

Gu Mingke was forced to give up half of the table, but was also robbed of her pen. Fortunately, Dali Temple Shaoqing’s pen was enough. Gu Mingke changed his pen and approved the dossier on the remaining half of the table.

Criminal cases across the country have to be submitted to Dali Temple for review. Once Gu Mingke was a monk and had little access to confidentiality, now he has become Shaoqing, and his burden and workload have suddenly increased.

After Gu Mingke finished writing a line, he needed to dip his ink, and Li Chaoge also reached out his hand at the same time. The two of them touched their arms lightly, and Gu Mingke stunned, stopped and let her come first.

Li Chaoge ran the pen, and Gu Mingke glanced at her memorial casually while waiting, and said: “Your handwriting should be practiced.”

Li Chaoge retracted his hand and continued to write indifferently: “It’s much better already.”

Gu Mingke didn’t see her first words, that’s what it means to wander freely. Later, she was promoted to a commander, no matter how convenient her authority was, she would inevitably have to write memorials. Li Chaoge had practiced for seven or eight years in his previous life, and his handwriting could not be called calligraphy, but at least he could read it.

Gu Mingke should have focused on his dossier, but he glanced at the first glance, and couldn’t help but glance at the second and third. Gu Mingke saw that she copied it mechanically and forcibly copied it. He really couldn’t see it. He said, “The focus of your investigation? It was the murder of the owner of the Tibetan Sword Villa eighteen years ago. It involved many ghosts and was different from the official disputes in the governor’s case. Can’t write like this.”

Li Chaoge raised his head, fixedly looking at him with a pair of bright, twinkling eyes: “What should I write then?”

Li Chaoge actually looks very good-looking, but she herself often forgets this. Other people have been with her for a long time, they are drawn away by her domineering, and often ignore her looks. Gu Mingke glanced into her eyes. At that moment, it was as if she saw the moonlight night in the lake, the water was empty, the moonlight shining on the forest after the snow, and the first sunlight in the rain penetrated the mist.

Gu Mingke was absent for a short while. Li Chaoge still looked at him earnestly, with a mole on his right eye, both glamorous and murderous.

Gu Mingke returned to his senses, his eyes drooped and his eyelashes moved quickly to hide his distraction. Gu Mingke’s expression remained unchanged, his voice was calm and cold, and he said, “For example, in the lake? Interrogating Xiaolian, you can write…”

Gu Mingke really seemed to say it casually, but the combination of parallelism and prose, smooth and clear, is very in line with Li Chaoge’s requirements of “concise, concise and literary.” After hearing a few words, Li Chaoge quickly picked up his pen and wrote: “Wait, what did you just say? Let’s do it again.”

Before that, Gu Mingke never said anything a second time. But now, he looked down at Li Chaoge, who was struggling to write, he felt helpless, he could only slow down, and said again: “The case of Xiaolian…”

Gu Mingke said that Li Chaoge copied, she wrote too quickly and accidentally copied two words wrong. Li Chaoge looked at the paper full of dangdang, almost full of paper, and then at the two words that were written incorrectly. The expression on his face was not good: “Obviously I will finish writing it soon! Should I? I want to copy it again?”

Li Chaoge suddenly looked desperate, and Gu Mingke took a closer look and said, “You don’t have to retranslate, just change it.”

“How to change?”

Gu Mingke wrote two words on the paper. These two words had more gestures than the typo, but they didn’t change the meaning at all. They seemed to be more written. Li Chaoge looked back and forth, frowning and said: “What if me? Didn’t make it better, wouldn’t it all be ruined?”

“No.” Seeing her unbelief, Gu Mingke stretched out his hand to hold Li Chaoge’s pen and wrote with her, “After writing a single stroke, you won’t be seen.”

There was a voice speaking outside, Pei Ji’an came to Dali Temple to look for Gu Mingke. The people outside knew that they were cousins, and they didn’t stop him at all. Pei Ji’an was unimpeded, he was unprepared to push the door, just to see this scene in front of him.

Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke sat side by side, and Gu Mingke wrapped his arm around Li Chaoge’s shoulder and was holding her hand to write.

The sleeves of the two overlapped, their manners were intimate, and they were indescribably gentle.
