Chapter 174 Eastern Capital Luoyang

On the second day, Andingfang and Dali Temple.

Since the beginning of the year, Dali Temple has become lively.

The Wuhou of Dali Temple who arrived one after another, the Black Armored Soldier at the left guard and the Rouge Soldier at the right guard blocked the main entrance of Dali Temple tightly.

It seems that important people will come.

At the end of the Chen Dynasty, Sima Jiu and the Zuo Teng Guard General Mai Tiebang were placed side by side at the left and right general Dugu Shengli of the Youteng Guard General Dugu Shengli, and came to the gate of Dali Temple.

Sima Jiuguan lived in Dali Temple from the sixth rank Sizhi, while Mai Tiebang and Dugu Shengli were third-rank generals. Sima Jiu could stand shoulder to shoulder with Mai Tiebang, which shows many things.

As soon as the three of them arrived at Dali Temple, Yang Xuanting appeared at the entrance of Dali Temple.

"The General of the left and right Guards visited Dali Temple at the same time, and ordered the Dali Temple to be bright and bright. Please come in." Yang Xuanting went out and bowed to greet him.

After Dugu Shengli gave a brief gift, she walked towards Dali Temple.

Mai Tiezhang looked at Dugu Shengli's back, shook his head slightly, and then bowed to Yang Xuanting and said, "You don't have to be polite, Lord Yang."

"please!"

"Um!"

Then, Yang Xuanting even slapped Sima Jiu hard behind Mai Tiebang.

"Good boy, my father did not misunderstand the person. This vampire monster has committed crimes many times in Dongcheng and has not solved the case for several months. I didn't expect you to solve the vampire monster case so quickly."

"The Lord has good guidance, and thanks to the assistance of the left and right guards, and the general of the right guards took great force and put the murderer in the first place. The subordinates dare not express their merits." Sima Jiu bowed and said.

"Hahahaha! You boy."

"Dali Temple Minister Chang Ming, if you have something to do, you must be angry with Dali Temple. Dali Temple has not solved the vampire case that has not been solved for several months. It really makes the pillars of the imperial law angry." Then, Yang Xuanting pulled Sima Jiu and whispered a few words.

Sima Jiu didn't know how to answer.

"Brother, how about you in Dugu Shengli's arms last night?" Yang Xuanting said with a soft smirk.

"Sir, last night, my subordinates were exhausted..."

Yang Xuanting shook another wink at Sima Jiu and interrupted: "Don't say too much, brother, please understand."

Then, he looked at Dugu Shengli with long legs, and then looked at Sima Jiu with jealousy, thinking to himself: "You are handsome and really popular. Perhaps, my ninth brother has already broken the peony flower."

Yang Xuanting was thinking a lot, but the etiquette was still in place.

He left Sima Jiu with an innocent face and followed General Wumenwei into the lobby of Dali Temple.

At this time, the female general of Rouge had already placed the wooden box containing the organic puppet powder in the center of the lobby.

Today, the Dali Temple Minister Chang Ming is not in Dali Temple. Therefore, the Dali Temple Minister Yang Xuanting is the first person in Dali Temple.

Yang Xuanting opened the wooden box and checked it. He then calmly asked Wu Hou of Dali Temple to put away the wooden box.

"This monster has caused trouble to the imperial capital for a long time, and there are as many as a hundred victims. It is really a very evil. I am executed today, which is a great blessing for the imperial capital. I will crack the case of the vampire monster and the left and right garrisons should be the first to be the master of the left and right garrisons. I have already made a clear head and ask for the left and right garrisons." Yang Xuanting said in a passionate tone.

Mai Tiezhang smiled with emotion, but Dugu Shengli ignored him and just glared at Sima Jiu.

It turned out that after Dugu Shengli left yesterday, Xia Ruohan, who was unconscious, was awakened by Sima Jiu in front of an acupuncture-based experimental mouse.

Afterwards, Sima Jiu talked about the detailed process of hunting the puppets of the instincts to Xia Ruohan.

Xia Ruohan was thrilling when he heard this. Under Sima Jiu's guidance, he wrote down the file of the case of hunting and sucking the vampire monster.

The file highlights Dugu Shengli's contribution, and even describes Yang Xuanting, who has never appeared before, downplays Sima Jiu's existence.

In addition, except for the superficial articles that record the cunning and bloodthirsty articles in the file, there is no mention of the snake demon puppet, the sounds made by the puppets, Sima Jiu's unscathed sword and Dugu Shengli's chewing ruler, the strategy of "only catching suspicion and not asking for the reason" is implemented very well.

Early this morning, Xia Ruohan rushed to Dali Temple and presented the file to Yang Xuanting. Yang Xuanting entered the palace to present the file to His Majesty as soon as he received the file.

Dugu Shengli kept rolling his eyes at Sima Jiu on the way to Dali Temple.

In the file, Sima Jiu threw all the credits to Zuotuanwei and Yang Xuanting, which made Dugu Shengli despise Sima Jiu's behavior of flattering Shangguan.

Not long after, everyone was chatting, Wu Hou came to report that Pei Ju, the Minister of the Yellow Gate, personally brought His Majesty's decree to Dali Temple.

Everyone present knew that Pei Ju was a big celebrity around His Majesty. Except for Dugu Shengli, no one dared to neglect and went out to greet him.

Pei Ju conquered the northwest and made great contributions to the empire. Sima Jiu also wanted to see how Pei Ju was.

The average figure was Sima Jiu’s first impression of him.

However, the small beard on his jaw, coupled with his calm face and deep eyes, showed that this person was extraordinary.

"......I'm here." Pei Ju recited more than a hundred words in front of everyone before putting away the imperial edict.

Among them, Yang Xuanting benefited the most.

Dali Temple cracked the case of the vampire demon. The new emperor Yang Guanglongyan was very happy and promoted Yang Xuanting to the Minister of Dali Temple, who was in charge of the imperial top judicial department. The former Dali Temple Minister Chang Ming was transferred to the Secretariat and appointed him.

Dugu Shengli and Mai Tiebang received generous rewards, but in the imperial edict, there was no mention of Sima Jiu who fought desperately with the puppets of the agency. The Dali Temple case handlers had a reward and included Sima Jiu's contributions.

After listening to the imperial edict, Dugu Shengli saw Sima Jiu's face unchanged, and couldn't help but secretly praised Sima Jiu's extraordinary spirit and structure.

However, Sima Jiu, who looked calm, had already been excited inside.

When Sima Jiu cracked the vampire case, Yang Xuanting benefited the most. He was bound to pay more attention to Sima Jiu. Yang Xuanting was Yang Su's son. Yang Xuanting valued Sima Jiu. In a sense, Yang Su valued Sima Jiu.

Although Sima Jiu did not receive a physical reward, his potential benefits were immeasurable.

In this way, Sima Jiu was naturally satisfied.

Of course, it is better to have physical rewards.

After Pei Ju announced the imperial edict, Yang Xuanting pulled Pei Ju to reminisce about the past on the grounds of placing a banquet in Dali Temple.

Dugu Shengli didn't like this scene, so she found a reason and left.

Originally, the banquet for all the high-ranking imperial officials did not have a mere position from the sixth-rank Dali Temple Sima, but Yang Xuan pulled him to the banquet.

Yang Xuanting’s banquet was nothing more than celebrating his promotion.

Everyone here congratulated him.

It was also at the banquet that Sima Jiu saw Pei Ju and Mai Tiebang jokingly, and he finally knew who Mai Tiebang was relying on in the court.

Pei Ju raised his wine glass, drank it all, and slowly said, "The State of Yue has fairly settled Bingzhou, and has made great contributions. Your Majesty has appointed the Ministry of Rites and has formulated a list of officials. Three days later, the suburbs will welcome the Duke of Yue to triumph."

When Yang Xuanting heard his father's name, he lowered his hands and pressed them on his knees to show respect.

"Duke of Tang's request to open a prefecture in Bingzhou on the grounds that the people in the old land of King Han were unstable and needed to be appeased, His Majesty rejected it." At this point, Pei Ju glanced at Sima Jiu.

Then, Pei Ju said: "You two, don't know how to view the matters in the Eastern Capital that the court discussed a few days ago?"

Mai Tiejian nodded slightly, and Yang Xuanting seemed to be thinking.

Yang Xuanting said: "The empire has built granaries around Luoyang, cleared the pass, and repaired Luoyang City. However, there were also many opposition voices in the court."

Pei Ju put down the wine glass in his hand and said word by word: "Luoyang is in the world and enjoys the benefits of the nine provinces. His Majesty is now a talented and strategic plan and far-sighted decision to establish Luoyang as the Eastern Capital, which has become an inevitable trend."

"Deciding Luoyang as the Eastern Capital is the most important task of the empire. Dissatisfied with Brother Xuan Ting, His Majesty has decided that the Princess of Yue will take charge of the overall situation."
