After Yang Ze gave Cai Cai, he returned to Chang'an with Liang Dazhong. Although the officials who accompanied him were of low grade, they were very energetic. Along the way, they kept looking for various reasons and asking why Yang Ze returned to Beijing.

Yang Ze had sent Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen back, making them optimistic about Kumodaro, Chalun and others, and stayed at the post station to wait for news. As for the officials' questions, he was not interested in answering, but just hummed and perfunctorily passed by.

At dawn, the journey was not halfway through. Although there were too many people, no one dared to stop. There was no one who even said he would take a break and eat something. Everyone in the team knew that this matter would definitely come to Datian. The Queen would definitely know that with the Queen's temper now looking for people around for trouble, everyone's future was uncertain and they said they were not worried. That was pure nonsense.

I saw dust rising in front of me, and a small group of people rushed towards me. It seemed that there was an official in it, and the rest were soldiers.

Liang Dazhong saw the people in front of him and hurried to Yang Ze's horse and said in surprise: "It's a bad thing. The leader's surname is Dugu, and he is the Minister of Rites. He brought people here in person, and he is afraid it's a bad thing!"

Yang Zeqi said: "The Minister of Rites' surname is Dugu? He is the new one. I remember that he did not have the surname Dugu before."

"Of course, he is a new job. During this period, there are too many high-ranking officials, and many new people have been replaced. The Ministry of Rites is no exception. This minister named Dugu is said to be a distant relative of the emperor and is a good scholar. He used to be an official, but he only wanted to play in the world. This time, the emperor personally arranged for him to be a minister. He took office. His name is Dugu Baoqiao. Although he is a royal family member, he is just a white person. As soon as he becomes an official, he becomes a minister... Well, he is a scholar, and you are also a scholar. You two are easy to talk to, so you go up and talk to him later!" Liang Dazhong shrank his neck and hid aside.

Judging from his tone, he seemed unwilling to contact Dugu Baoqiao. It seemed that this Minister of Rites was indeed not easy to get along with. However, it is really enviable and jealous that a person who does not want to be an official can become a high-ranking official like the Minister of the Assistant!

Yang Ze ignored Liang Dazhong, rushed forward, bowed to Dugu Baoqiao, and shouted: "You are Lord Dugu? Yang Ze, the magistrate of Zhenxi County, came to Beijing for official business and met Lord Dugu."

Dugu Baoqiao ran to the front, yelled his horse and looked at Yang Ze, thinking, "Yang Ze, the magistrate of Zhenxi County? It turns out that Yang Ze is this person. I have heard people mention it recently."

Queen Dugu has been in poor health recently. In the words of ordinary people, it is because the dragon body is not safe. Although Queen Dugu is a woman, she can no longer be called Fengti. If she becomes an emperor, she will not be called Fengti. If she is called Longti, she will naturally analyze the situation and think that Queen Dugu is paving the way for the successor. There are many discerning people in the court, and it is impossible for her to see this. Naturally, she has to guess who can inherit the throne. The name of the former emperor Li Yan will be brought up for granted, and Zhenxi County where Li Yan lives will also be mentioned. Yang Ze's name naturally falls into the ears of the ministers in the court. Moreover, Yang Ze will have a repeat of the case, and those with ability will naturally attract more attention.

Dugu Baoqiao looked up and down at Yang Ze and said, "You are Yang Ze? I heard that he is a capable person, why did he come to Beijing?" He saw Liang Dazhong behind him and thought, "How come these two people are together?"

Yang Ze was also looking at Dugu Baoqiao, and saw Dugu Baoqiao was only about 30 years old. He was handsome and looked as white as jade, with red lips and white teeth. He was no less than Fu Bingrong. He was a handsome middle-aged man. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that they were all surnamed Dugu, so what was the difference? Think about Dugu Xun, Qiuzhou, with a vulgar face, and then look at the middle-aged young man in front of him. It was a very different difference!

Dugu Baoqiao is handsome, which makes people feel good at seeing it. Yang Ze hurriedly smiled and said, "The official is Yang Ze, so I will greet Lord Dugu." As he said that, he was about to dismount and give Dugu Baoqiao a good gift on the road.

Dugu Baoqiao waved his hand and said, "Forgive me, I still have something to do, don't waste my time." His tone was quite gentle, but his words were quite bad.

Yang Ze did not dismount and thought to himself: "It seems that he is a rich and idle man. He does not understand the officialdom and speaks so uncontrollably that he offended others without realizing it. It seems that he doesn't know it yet." He smiled and retreated to the side of the road, giving way to Dugu Baoqiao.

But Dugu Baoqiao shouted at Liang Dazhong: "Liang Dazhong, come and talk. You were too noisy last night. My minister specially asked me to ask you." The expression on his face was very unhappy, and he looked like you were making trouble, but it turned out that I was making trouble.

Liang Dazhong gritted his teeth and stepped forward, took the initiative to dismount, saluted Dugu Baoqiao, and said, "Mr. Prince Consort, I have saluted you."

Yang Ze was stunned. Prince Consort? Is Dugu Baoqiao the prince consort? Which princess was he married? Why didn’t you say this damn Liang Dazhong just now!

As the deputy general manager of the inner palace, Liang Dazhong has never cared about foreign officials. If the eunuch has a future, it has nothing to do with the foreign officials. Instead, it is directly in the hands of the emperor, because he is a slave of the royal family, and Dugu Baoqiao is not only a child of the Dugu family, but also a son-in-law of the Li family. He can be regarded as one of the serious masters of the eunuch group, so he can't stand up and salute.

Dugu Baoqiao looked bad and asked again: "Okay, don't waste time. What happened yesterday? I heard you were going to burn yourself. Why is this?"

Last night, the people from the Prayer Palace ran to the Ministry of Rites to report the message. The Minister of Rites was immediately anxious and using living people as sacrifices would never work. It would violate the harmony of nature and would greatly hurt the emperor's virtue. Queen Dugu must be angry. This matter is very important and must be solved immediately.

But Liang Dazhong was the general manager of the inner palace, and the Minister of Rites could not control him. In desperation, he sent someone to find the minister Dugu Baoqiao, who was a member of the royal family and could completely repair Liang Dazhong.

It was too late at that time, and Dugu Baoqiao had already returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion. With generous rules, the Prince Consort and the Prince Consort did not live together. The princess had a Princess' Mansion and the Prince Consort had a Prince Consort's Mansion. At that time, Dugu Baoqiao was neither in the Prince Consort's Mansion nor the Prince Consort's Mansion, but was having fun outside. The people from the Ministry of Rites finally found him, so Dugu Baoqiao came out reluctantly, and time was delayed, and he had just arrived.

Liang Dazhong expressed his loyalty in front of Dugu Baoqiao's horse, and spoke in a whisper, but there was nothing new. Yang Ze was impatient to listen.

Yang Ze whispered to an official and said, "Luojia, who is the princess this Dugu son-in-law married?"

The official was slightly stunned at first, and then replied: "It turns out that Lord Yang doesn't know, it's amazing. He married Princess Yinggui, the eldest princess, and the most popular among the princesses in the court."

There are many princesses in the court. If you can be the eldest princess’ son-in-law, you will naturally be popular, and you will be popular!

Yang Ze glanced at the popular chicken over there and said, "Isn't the prince consort of this dynasty who can have a real position? He just received a share of food and salary from the prince consort. How did this prince consort of Dugu become the Minister of Rites?"

The official shook his head and said, "This dynasty is different everywhere, and this is even more so during this period. Don't you think about it, the princess's daughter should be the princess, but now she is also the princess..." When she said this, she suddenly felt something was wrong. If she was caught, it would be deadly. Could it be that she was reflecting the world of the Queen Dugu?

He quickly repaired the prison and said, "The Dugu son-in-law is very talented, so it's okay to make an exception for him."

"The Ministry of Rites does not care about money, grain, soldiers, and horses, but it is quite suitable for the prince-consort to be an official." Yang Ze nodded.

The official hurriedly left Yang Ze far away, afraid that Yang Ze would ask him again. This little county magistrate was able to make up the scene and could not talk too much to him. It would be better to protect himself.

Over there, Liang Dazhong has already talked about how he would roast himself and pray for the Queen, which is the glory of his ancestors for the eighteen generations!

Yang Ze smiled and said, "According to the words of General Liang, your ancestors did not lend you light, and you did not treat it as a sacrifice!"

Dugu Baoqiao looked at him, feeling bored and not happy about the troubles, so he said, "What do you have to say? Go back and say it. Just go with me to meet Shangshu." As he said that, he waved his hand and asked his guards to watch Liang Dazhong, but ignored Yang Ze and returned to the way he came.

Liang Dazhong was taken on the horse and felt very frustrated. Before he could talk about Yang Ze just now, he had not even finished expressing his loyalty. Dugu Baoqiao was impatient to listen. As a result, he was taken into custody, and Yang Ze had nothing to do, so where can I reason about it!

Dugu Baoqiao may have been a little anxious because of his boss, so he refused to stop for a moment. He ran very fast and rushed all the way. In the afternoon, he entered Chang'an City.

As the world's number one city, there are several city gates that were originally closed day and night, but recently, the Queen Dugu ordered a curfew, which made all city gates closed at night, so they had to enter the city before dark.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Dugu Baoqiao looked back and saw that Yang Ze was following him. He said, "You little county magistrate from the west has been back to Beijing for a long distance. You should go to the Ministry of Personnel first. Why did you come to the Ministry of Rites? Go and do whatever you should do. Don't stay here and waste time."

It’s a waste of time again. It seems that the time of this prince-in-law is very valuable. Could it be that he is a person who can spend hundreds of thousands of minutes in a minute?

Yang Ze got off the horse and said, "The lower official originally wanted to tell the heavens and pray for the emperor, and did the same thing as General Liang, so if you want to ask General Liang, you have to ask General Liang."

Dugu Baoqiao exclaimed, looked at Yang Ze with a very pity, shook his head, and said, "Since that's the case, then you and Liang Dazhong come in!"

Yang Ze turned around and called Mugen and Caicai, and whispered: "Don't follow you in. When the people inside ask you to come in, you can go in again. Caicai, you must remember that if you don't see the emperor, you can't talk about Kumatara, remember!"

Caicai and Mugen nodded together and told Yang Ze to be careful.

But Dugu Baoqiao had already entered the gate of the Ministry of Rites and turned around and said impatiently: "Don't be procrastinated, hurry up, I've got a job, I have to work hard!"
Chapter completed!
