"For example, what aspects?" Chai Shao asked in dissatisfaction.

Dou Qing laughed and said earnestly: "For example, how could you know in advance that the case has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice? As a guard, this has exceeded your ability. Although you have been well-informed, although Zhang Xuan has transferred it in time, Yang Lei will have doubts about you. Of course, these are not the main reasons why Yang Lei doesn't want to use you. I think it's because of your dusk energy."

"Mu Qi?" Chai Shao was stunned.

Dou Qing nodded slowly, "You have the ability and consider problems carefully. This cannot be denied, but you have more than success, but you are not enterprising enough. It is like a shield. This does not meet Yang's needs. I can understand his concerns about the future of the Sui Dynasty. He longs for change. He longs for himself to obtain a spear to help him charge and eliminate all the shortcomings of the Sui Dynasty.

And Zhang Xuan is such a sharp spear. Think about it, how long has he appeared beside Yang Lei, so many things have happened. Even Yuwen Shu was dismissed because of his appearance. How could Yang Lei not be happy with the appearance of such a sharp spear? How could he not use it more seriously? And you?"

Chai Shao fell into silence. He had to admit that Dou Qing was very thorough in his eyes. Yang Lei was indeed like this. He was full of worries about the future of the Sui Dynasty, but he hated himself for being young and unable to change the status quo. As soon as Zhang Xuan appeared, he immediately dismissed Yuwen Shu, who he hated the most. In this way, how could Yang Lei not use Zhang Xuan?

Chai Shao sighed in his heart, "The times create heroes, this sentence is indeed true!"

"What does the Lord think of Zhang Xuan?" Chai Shao asked again.

Dou Qing looked thoughtful. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, shook his head again, "I can't see through him!"

"How could it be?"

"I can't explain it clearly, let's talk about it later! Go back immediately, pay attention to every detail of the case, and report it to me at any time."

"As for the order!"

Chai Shao left, Dou Qing walked slowly to the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the golden dome of Ziwei Palace in the distance, and his heart was full of doubts. Zhang Xuan's performance in this case really made him feel strange and puzzled.

Zhang Xuan actually wanted to take the blame for Luo Shixin. You must know that once the crime is convicted, he will be dismissed from his post and expelled from the Yan Prince's Mansion.

However, he worked hard to climb the big tree of Yang Qing and did not hesitate to assassinate Yang Xuangan, but now he is willing to give up his future for a small Shandong officer.

Zhang Xuan doesn't have to do this at all. He can help Luo Shixin clear his crimes behind his back. With Zhang Xuan's wisdom, it is impossible for him to think of this.

Is he trying to test how much Yang Qing valued him? It is also possible, but Dou Qing still feels that Zhang Xuan’s real purpose is not this, he must have a deeper and more secret purpose.

Dou Qing always had a looming idea in his mind, but he felt that Zhang Xuan could not be so far-sighted, but apart from that, he could not find any reason to explain that Zhang Xuan was willing to bear the blame for Luo Shixin.

If this is true, then Zhang Xuan was so shocked that Dou Qing couldn't help but say to himself: "I'm going to see, how did you solve this tricky thing?"

Zhang Xutuo walked through a long corridor and followed a magnificent official office to a magnificent official office. This was the location of the Neishi Province, the center of the Great Sui power. The historical Neishi Province was later renamed the Secretariat and became the office of the prime ministers.

"Please, Zhang Tongshou!"

Zhang Xutuo nodded and followed the entourage into the side door. He walked straight along the central axis and arrived at the first official room in the right head. He stopped. This was Yu Shiji's entourage room. He quickly stepped in and reported.

Zhang Xutuo was a little nervous. He received news at noon today that the case of his apprentice Luo Shixin's injury has been changed to the trial of the Ministry of Justice, which gave him another glimmer of hope.

Although Zhang Xutuo did not understand the worldly ways and the rules of the officialdom, he had been an official for many years. After all, he had some connections in the court. He received guidance from his former colleagues and asked him to find Yu Shiji and give him a generous gift. Perhaps the case would turn a corner.

Zhang Xutuo did not understand why he wanted to find Yu Shiji, and the person who guided him did not explain it thoroughly, but he also knew that Yu Shiji held the power to entrust the imperial edict and was the most powerful minister of the court. In order to save his disciple's life, he had no choice but to sacrifice.

"Zhang Tongshou invites him in, and the assistant minister is waiting in the room."

He walked out of the room. He glanced at Zhang Xutuo and then realized that he was wearing half of the old court uniform. He couldn't help but remind him: "Yu Xiangguo doesn't like people wearing old clothes. Should Zhang Tongshou change his new court uniform first?"

Zhang Xutuo sorted out his court uniform and sighed secretly in his heart. He only had one court uniform, where did he change it?

Without saying anything, he walked directly into Yu Shiji's official room. A faint fragrance filled the official room, which came from the bronze squatting beast incense burner at the corner of the house. The whole room was bright and simple, and neatly tidy.

The person he was visiting, Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Inner History, was sitting behind a large table and writing quickly, without raising his head, as if he had not seen his arrival.

Zhang Xutuo had something to ask others, so he had to put down his self-esteem. He bowed deeply, "Secretary Zhang Xutuo, please see the Prime Minister Yu!"

In fact, Yu Shiji is not a prime minister, but Su Wei. Since the death of the inner historian Ling Yuanshou, the inner historian Ling has been vacant. Yu Shiji actually took control of the inner historian province. The people below flattered Yu Shiji and privately called him the prime minister, and Yu Shiji also accepted it happily.

Today, in order to save his disciple Luo Shixin, Zhang Xutuo had to call Yu Shiji the prime minister against his will.

"Zhang Tongshou wait, I'll finish writing these lines!" Yu Shiji said without raising his head.

"There is no hurry to the officials!"

After a while, Yu Shiji stopped writing and read the document again. Then he put the document aside with satisfaction. He looked up at Zhang Xutuo and saw that he was wearing half-old court robes. He felt a little unhappy.

Zhang Xutuo did not understand the rules of the officialdom. He actually sent two jars of pickled vegetables to himself two days ago. He thought it was gold and jewelry inside, but it turned out that it was really pickled vegetables. Yu Shiji was so angry that he cursed and ordered someone to return the pickled vegetables back.

This is the case again today. I came to see myself in half-old court uniforms. Do you really want to show how honest and frugal he is to highlight how extravagant these court officials are?

Yu Shiji was unhappy, but he didn't show it. He asked lightly: "Is there anything wrong with Zhang Tongshou looking for me?"

Zhang Xutuo thought that Yu Shiji would take the initiative to talk to him about the defeat in the first two months, and he could also take the opportunity to explain the real situation. Unexpectedly, Yu Shiji did not mention this matter at all, forcing him to directly talk about the main topic.

Zhang Xutuo stumbled and said, "This... I'm here to find Prime Minister Yu, because I have something to do to ask Prime Minister for help."

"Haha! Zhang Tongshou is polite. Everyone is a minister in the court. If you have any questions, just say it. Why do you need to ask for it?"

"I came for the Luo Shixin case. Can you ask Prime Minister Yu to take advantage of his courageous battle against the enemy and countless contributions on the battlefield? This is my little intention. Please accept it with a smile!"

Zhang Xutuo put the gift list on the table with trembling hands, which contained all his savings. As soon as the gift list was placed on the table, his hands seemed to be burned, and immediately shrank back, his face flushed. This was the first time in his life that he had bribed someone to give gifts.

Yu Shiji's eyes were very vicious. He glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw the numbers on the gift list clearly. Eighty taels of gold were gold. Yu Shiji was furious in his heart. He was sending beggars! Is this Zhang Xutuo trying to humiliate himself?

"Ah! What is Zhang Tongshou doing?"

Yu Shiji pretended to be surprised and pointed at Li Dan with disgust and said, "This... this is the court, how can you give me this thing? I, Yu Shiji, are you like this? Take it back quickly!"

"Just give Yu Xiangguo a glass of water and wine!"

"Take it back!"

Yu Shiji's anger was not a pretender. He was really angry. Zhang Xutuo actually gave only eighty taels, which was too much.

Zhang Xutuo was embarrassed and had to get the gift list back. He blushed and apologized: "It's the official who is abrupt."

Yu Shiji snorted heavily, "I give you some face because you are brave enough to fight the enemy in Shandong, otherwise I will have to beat you out."

"Thank you for your tolerance from Prime Minister Yu."

Yu Shiji said with a cold face again: "As for Luo Shixin's case, do you think the provincial capital of the Neishishi is in charge of such trivial matters? I have never heard of it. You go to the Ministry of Justice! Or go to Dali Temple, and you will find the wrong place if you look for me."

Zhang Xutuo didn't know that Gu Yi was Yu Shiji's confidant. He also felt that finding Yu Shiji was a bit of a big deal about this small case. He was both ashamed and anxious. Even Yu Shiji's path could not be understood. What should Shixin do?

He was helpless and had to bow and salute, "It's the official who is abrupt and said goodbye!"
