Red Heart Survey

A cloud cape rolled down from the sky and fell on the man's broad back, like the past that had been succumbed.

He no longer spoke of the past stories. He carried the heaviness of the past.

He landed on the mirror stone square in front of the Censorate, letting this [Earth Mirror] and the eyes of many censors supervise his life.

The Censorate's main platform was built majestically, without any obstructions, and the high platform and Huabiao were in full view.

Suddenly, Shang Shuyi, the current chief censor of the Dajing Empire, walked out from the huge black doorway that looked like a beast's mouth on the platform.

He was wearing a clean official uniform of the Censorate, and he was dressed meticulously.

He only looked forward, not sideways. He met Lou Yue on the straight road in front of the platform.

This straight road was like the tongue of a beast's mouth, and also like a huge sword.

The skylight cast a long shadow on Lou Yue alone.

Shang Shuyi's shadow was hidden in the shadow of the doorway. Standing in the middle were the imperial censors who were lined up in two rows, using their hu as swords.

The first imperial censor hu board of the Dajing Empire was cut by Taizu himself and given to the general constitution to make him speak out his faults.

"This is a sword. It can stab the emperor above and cut the gate soldiers below. It can stab everything inside and outside the country. No one can avoid it." - "Jinglue·Volume 1".

The entire outer city of Tianjing seemed to have a huge division here.

Lou Yue was alone, with a stronger momentum. He stepped forward with his hands behind his back and just said, "Thank you!"

It seemed that so many people were just to welcome him!

But Shang Shuyi did not avoid it, but just stood there, like a fresh long nail. He was the bumps before the monstrous power: "It is not a good thing for the Tiandu officials to come to the General Office of the Censorate!"

The General Office of the Censorate was built in the outer city, which was remote and sparsely populated. No one dared to approach. Those powerful officials of Dajing who lived in the core area of ​​Tianjing would not come here easily. Most of them came here for the imperial prison of the Censorate. Either send someone or be sent by someone - for example, Fu Dongxu, the head of Jingshitai, was invited to investigate immediately after Zong Dezhen was executed. For example, Lou Jiangyue, a traitor who was brought from Jingshitai.

"Whether it is auspicious or not depends on who it is for. The strong will always be lucky, and the weak will never be lucky." Lou Yue responded in a calm voice, and raised his eyelids slightly: "I have said... Thank you for your help!"

The two people standing here confronting each other today.

Lou Yue should have more confidence.

Shang Shuyi's position as the chief censor is not too stable.

In order to compensate Chen Suan, Song Huai planned this position for him.

Shang Shuyi is too upright and never shows mercy, so naturally no one shows mercy to him. When he steps down from the position of chief censor, it is hard to say what kind of world will be cold and indifferent.

In contrast, Lou Yue is unparalleled in the limelight. He is also the privy envoy of the Military Affairs Building and the deputy commander of the Imperial Edict Army, and is listed in the top eight. Now, with the cultivation of the first real person in Zhongzhou, he has reached the pinnacle in one step, and he is recommended by the emperor, and he is about to sit on the position of the head of Yujing Mountain!

It may be debatable to say that he is now the person with the most weight in the entire Dajing Empire, except for the emperor. Adding "one of" is no problem.

His "thank you" can be regarded as giving enough face.

The only pity is that the left censor in front of him doesn't care.

"This is the censor's office! What did you say?" Shang Shuyi stood as straight as the censor's tablet: "Lou Shushi's voice is too soft, I can't hear it."

"Do you need me to come closer and tell you?!" Lou Yue took a step forward and stepped in front of Shang Shuyi, almost only a fist away from him, and they would collide with each other if the wind blew.

This is an extremely dangerous distance.

It is more about the collision of dignity and power.

Lou Yue just raised his eyes, and the terrifying pressure brought by this name was like a mountain and sea.

Almost everyone in the two rows of censors standing behind Shang Shuyi lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him, and some even stepped back subconsciously!

Only Shang Shuyi stood still.

He remained calm and looked at the Lou Daojun calmly: "Lou Shushi, you are not a real Daojun yet, but you are already so majestic and make Shang in awe. But even if you are already a real Daojun, my answer is the same - yes, why are you here? Face me and tell me the truth!"

Lou Yue looked at him silently.

He also looked at him silently.

Silence is like a huge stone pressing on people's hearts, making people gradually breathless.

Lou Yue has realized how hard-core Shang Shuyi is. With his current status, he certainly can ignore the power of a Zuodu Yushi, but his daughter Lou Jiangyue is in the Yushitai.

Finally, he said: "Today I am just a father, visiting my daughter."

This is undoubtedly a certain degree of concession.

For Lou Yue, who has already reached the peak of transcendence and is about to reach the peak of power, it is almost unimaginable.

But Shang Shuyi said: "Your daughter is a traitor."

Lou Yue frowned as if he was about to get angry, and finally smiled: "I haven't met someone who doesn't give me face like this for many years."

Shang Shuyi had a blank expression: "Because you haven't dealt with me for many years."

"In the past years, even today, have I anything that the Censorate can criticize?" Lou Yue asked back.

"Yes, the few memorials at most talked about your demeanor-" Shang Shuyi said: "But when I saw you swaggering to the imperial prison, I couldn't help but want to stop you and ask you. What decree do you rely on, what official do you want to do? Envoy Lou Shu is so wanton, it shows how lenient my Censorate was in the past!"

Lou Yue glanced at the censors behind him who didn't dare to look up, and then looked at him: "Do you want to say that these people are not as loyal to their duties as you, or that they are not as unsympathetic as you?"

"Envoy Lou, Deputy Commander Lou." Shang Shuyi emphasized his official position and made his status clear: "If everyone has the courage to face you, it would be too difficult for them. If you have the backbone to stand behind me, It is already the backbone of Yushitai.”

Lou Yue was silent for a moment: "I don't understand why Shang Zongxian is so hostile to me. He actually regards me as his enemy and wants to draw his sword against me."

"Only because of your daughter's treason, I should arrest you for trial! But you hold a high position and it is just when His Majesty is using you, so you can't do it." Shang Shuyi looked at him sternly: "Ms. Lou, Don’t think you are really innocent.”

"You want to say that I am also a traitor?" Lou Yue raised his eyebrows: "I, Lou Yue, have come step by step to where I am today. I have sacrificed my life for Your Majesty and the country. I can only do more than you, Mr. Shang Xian, but not more than you, Mr. Shang." Mr. Xian! What reason do I have for treason? Now that I have reached this position, what else can attract me? Is Shang Zongxian so alarmist as to ignore the facts?

"There is no need to talk about past achievements, possibilities, or reasons. Ding is Ding, and Mao is Mao." Shang Shuyi's eyes were as bright as a sword: "I only look at the facts, and I only follow the law. The facts are you If your daughter is treasonous, the legal principle is that you should be investigated, but the emperor tolerated you!"

"What a legal principle!" Lou Yue said in a deep voice: "In the battle to kill Zong Dezhen in Tianwai, there were two remnants of the Ping Dynasty who were controlled and disappeared after the war. The minister of Zongzheng Temple did not even bring them back. , Does Zong Xian have any clue?"

If you are impartial in everything and investigate everything thoroughly, why don't you go check with Mr. Zongzhengji?

"I don't need to worry about you, I have already gone to Han Zongzheng Temple!" Shang Shuyi raised his head and faced directly: "Before you came here, Zong Zheng had already explained this in detail - at that time he was focused on dealing with Zong Dezhen. Afterwards, I only noticed that the two people had drifted away from the battlefield. After Zong Dezhen died, I went to look for them, but they were no longer there. They must have been rescued by the high-level officials of the Ping Dynasty who were hiding nearby. The possibility of being involved in the destruction of Zong Dezhen cannot be ruled out. Considering the domestic situation and the fact that Pingping Country was no longer the main problem, Zong Zheng did not continue to pursue him. Instead, return to Tianjing first."

"How? Do you still have any questions?" Shang Shuyi looked at him: "If you feel that Zong Zheng's explanation is not reasonable enough, or you have any doubts about him here, you are welcome to submit it. This constitution will deal with it impartially. He explained everything!”

Shang Shuyi was tougher than Lou Yue thought, and actually forced Ji Yumin to explain!

Lou Yue looked at the sky and withdrew his gaze: "Then I would like to ask - where is the investigation on Fu Taishou now?"

The Yushitai monitors all officials, and is also monitored by all officials.

Officials like Fu Dongxu were invited to the Yushitai to investigate.

It was natural for him to ask this question.

It also means that he intends to communicate, or "confront", with Shang Shuyi within the order.

He can go wherever he wants and see whomever he wants. This specialness attached to his overwhelming power is not recognized in Yushitai.

Shang Shuyi stands here today with such a clear attitude, just to make one thing clear——

Even if Lou Yue wants to come to Yushitai Prison to see his daughter, he has to follow the rules. This is not a matter of whether Shang Shuyi nods his head or not, nor is it about anyone's power. This is the Yushitai.

Now Lou Yue is speaking in an orderly manner, and Shang Shuyi also gives him an orderly answer: "At least in the twists and turns of Qian Tianjing's case, Fu Taishou's suspicion has been cleared."

"Oh? Does he have anything else to do?" Lou Yue asked.

"I didn't say that in this Xian." Shang Shuyi said, "Fu Taishou has returned to Jingshi Terrace. If you have any doubts, you can ask him yourself."

"In other words, Fu Taishou is not guilty?" Lou Yue asked.

"I can't say he is guilty." Shang Shuyi said.

Lou Yue looked at him seriously: "Zong Dezhen has just died, and the suppression of Yizhen Dao is not over. Fu Dongxu, as the leader of the Mirror World, has a very heavy responsibility in the current situation. You don't have fatal evidence. Under such circumstances, he was called in for questioning because of a little doubt. It can be said that he only focused on the achievements of Yushitai, a three-acre land, and completely ignored the overall situation of Jingguo! "

Shang Shuyi looked at each other calmly: "I am the censor of Zuodu, Yushitai. Supervising hundreds of officials is the overall situation of Benxian and the overall situation of Jingguo. Ambassador Lou, I hope you will never forget it no matter how high you go. What is your root."

Lou Yue continued to ask: "Now that Fu Taishou has returned, how far has Yushitai progressed in the investigation of the little girl?"

The function of the Yushitai is to supervise all officials, and it does not really have the power of criminal punishment. To put it more bluntly, this department is not targeting the officials but the people.

Lou Jiangyue is not an official. The investigation of her should be carried out by the Criminal Investigation Department or Jingshi Tai. Even if the Central Prison is responsible, it is more reasonable.

In the final analysis, Yushitai left Lou Jiangyue here because Fu Dongxu was involved. In essence, the sword was still aimed at Lou Yue himself.

But Fu Dongxu had already left, and Shang Shuyi couldn't really question him about Lou Yue. Lou Jiangyue had no reason to stay at Yushitai.

Lou Yue talked about Fu Dongxu first and then Lou Jiangyue, which pointed out the unreasonableness of this matter.

Seeing that Lou Daojun was so awake and refused to lose his composure or make any mistakes, Shang Shuyi calmly said: "Lou Jiangyue has confessed his crime."

Lou Yue said expressionlessly: "Since she has pleaded guilty, should she be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department? Or the Central Prison?"

He can always see his daughter in any place except Yushitai!

Shang Shuyi pointedly poked at it: "Isn't Mr. Lou curious about what crime she confessed to?"

Lou Yue looked at him deeply, turned around and left: "Ouyang, Chief of Staff, will have a transfer order, and I will present it to your company."

"She said it's because she hates you!" Shang Shuyi said behind him: "She deliberately disrupted the order of Jingshi Terrace and slandered Fu Dongxu as a true Taoist. She wanted to cause conflicts between you and Fu Dongxu, and she also wanted to use practical means to The blame for the treasonous act is on you! Sir Lou, you are innocent! Although your daughter is treasonous, you are clean!"

Lou Yue didn't stop and left in large strides.

In the dim shadow behind him, a censor approached: "Sir, Lou Jiangyue's repeated attempts to commit suicide and her secret joining of Hell Wumen are matters of King Chu Jiang in the Tenth Hall of Hell... He didn't even tell Lou Jiangyue. Talk about it?”

Shang Shuyi just looked at the distant figure: "In the past, this cloak was worn by tigers roaring in the mountains and rivers, but now it has been replaced by such a clean cloud cloak."

These things that Lou Yue knows very well, why is there any need to tell Lou Yue again? Today's Lou Yue is a big shot who is about to become Tao Lord. He is aloof and indifferent to human feelings.

His tone was incomprehensible: "I always think that is more pleasing to the eye."

"General Constitution." The censor behind him asked again: "The transfer order from the Criminal Investigation Department should be coming soon. What should we do?"

"According to the rules, we should give him the person in a polite manner." Shang Shuyi said: "It's just that during this period, we are working with the Imperial City Third Division to track down the Yizhen Taoist disciples. I am busy with official duties, so you are unlikely to be able to contact me. ”

The censor behind him was very sensible: "But if a key criminal like Lou Jiangyue is not given the nod by the General Secretary, we will never be able to release him."

His face gradually became clearer in the shadow of the doorway as he took small steps forward, but it was Xiao Linzheng who was born in Shuntian Mansion.

"She Yuantu died, and she wanted to kill the main palace. When she got sick, she was in the most extreme pain in the world. Keep her here, don't give her death row, don't let her kill people. We don't have to do anything else, she will say everything in the end ”

Shang Shuyi said: "But there are only two days, at most two days, and Lou Yue can't stop him. Ouyang Jie will even come to the door in person."

He sighed: "I always hate not being with me!"

"If we can delay it for two more days, it should be enough." Xiao Linzheng said: "I think she is in pain and will collapse at any time."

"Lou Jiangyue has been living in the Lou Mansion all year round, and there are not many opportunities to come out. It is more likely to be in our hands only this time. Her secrets are very deep, and there are often dirty things hidden behind her secrets. Those who knew about it back then were all secretive, even us There are only a few words from the Yushitai. This is exactly where we need to work." Shang Shuyi said solemnly: "It's a shame that these people are all in the same category. The three divisions of the imperial city and the big officials of the capital are protecting each other. Make it clear. The Taoism protects the Taoism, and the same sect protects the same sect. It is this kind of tacit understanding that breeds the soil for the spread of the true Tao!"

"The only thing is..." Xiao Linzheng thought for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty will entrust Lou Shu with a great responsibility, and you have unlimited trust in him..."

Shang Shuyi raised his hand forward, as if holding the straight road in front of him in the light.

This straight line is like a sword in the tongue: "If the emperor is never wrong and sees everything clearly, then there is no need to set up a censorship platform. In the same way, if the censorship platform is always consistent with the emperor, then the censorship platform will not exist. Necessary. It is precisely because Lou Yue has reached such an important position that we must examine him harshly!"
