As the appointment and dismissal assessment of civil officials, the promotion of officials is not only guaranteed, but also the merit assessment of officials. If you put it in a big way, the ministry is in charge of the personnel movements of the entire imperial court.

In the past one or two decades, tens of thousands of officials have been transferred, and it is really unclear what role the officials have played in the middle. It's just that as long as things are hidden in dark corners, even if everyone has some ideas in their hearts, they are just ideas, and they will not be put on the table.

But once this matter is raised, then everyone is convinced.

He Changxu and Shen Qing have worked together for many years, and the two of them know each other well, but the two have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and they are both doing things for Qiu Wanao, so they are also safe.

But He Changxu was forced by Liu Gan to be in a hurry, and he couldn't care about it so much, and directly shook out the old bottom of the ministry. As soon as his words fell, many ministers in the DPRK and China looked a little sneered, and only buried their heads very low, as if they were afraid of being named by name.

Shen Qing, who has been waiting for an opportunity, is annoyed, Liu Gan has survived this catastrophe, if he can save him, Liu Gan will be grateful to him for the rest of his life, he is just waiting, waiting for Liu Gan to give up the moment of struggle and despair, and then he will come like a god again, so that even if he promotes Liu Gan to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the future, Liu Gan will not betray himself.

didn't expect Liu Gan to finally use the bad trick of killing the fish and breaking the net, and He Changxu was even more forced to jump off the wall and join his ministry, although it was Liu Gan, but He Changxu's words were equivalent to participating in his entire ministry, especially his official book.

Shen Qing gritted his teeth with remorse, and as soon as He Chang's preface came out, he pointed out that there was evidence to prove.

He Changxu's heart was pounding, and he glanced at Qiu Wanao, at this time the latter's face was already tense, iron green and ugly, obviously it was unexpected for him that the two ceremonial officials revealed each other's old bottoms, and this was also the biggest loss for him.

Xin Zhongqiao had already seen some clues, Shen Qing and He Changxu were not fuel-efficient lamps, Qiu Wanao was an old man in the end, thinking that he could still monopolize power, and he didn't know that none of the people below were content to be controlled and controlled.

He glanced at Cao Wanli, Cao Wanli smiled slightly, and the two of them understood, but they were silent.

Shen Qing knew that Qiu Wanao's sharp blade-like eyes were looking at him, but he wanted to protect himself, the current situation was so grim, not to mention that He Changxu revealed his bottom first, why should he swallow his anger.

"Your Majesty, the old minister knows that there is someone who can testify.

Three years ago, the Ministry of Rites and the two waiters also did the same thing as now.

Huang Weiwen, the son of Huang Yaotian, the former prefect of Youzhou Bicang, was also among the people selected by the Ministry of Rites, and Huang Yaotian had already given 50,000 taels of silver to his son to give a certain huiyuan. But Huang Weiwen is a virtuous person.

Huang Weiwen not only refused to die, but even said that he would go to Beijing to expose the crimes of the Ministry of Rites. Huang Yaotian begged bitterly to promise to return to his hometown with his family and never enter Beijing again, so as to save the lives of his son and his family. ”

He Changxu looked at Shen Qing in astonishment, this matter, he handled it very secretly, why did Shen Qing know?

Besides, he had already asked Huang Yaotian's family to solve it on the way home, in order to avoid trouble.

Shen Qing glanced at He Changxu with some smugness and sneer, and continued to explain: "The reason why the old minister knows about this is because Huang Yaotian secretly looked for the old minister and begged the old minister to save the life of his family.

It's just that the old minister is ashamed and will try once every three years, but three years ago, the old minister had no evidence, so he could only keep this matter in his heart. Three years later, Lao Chen wanted to find out about this matter, so he recommended Zuo Shilang to do the same examination, and wanted him to secretly investigate the matter, but he didn't expect to be calculated by He Changxu. ”

When He Changxu heard this, he didn't have time to think about Huang Yaotian, and retorted angrily: "Shen Qing, you are making something out of nothing, the old man has never even seen Huang Yaotian, besides, what does Huang Yaotian have to do with you, he is in trouble, why did he write to you for help?"

He was sure that Huang Yaotian's family had died, and he sent Zhu Da to deal with it personally, and now there was no proof of death, he didn't believe that Shen Qing could really do anything about it.

"If you really want to frame the old man like this, why don't you call Huang Yaotian and Huang Weiwen to the main hall, and we will confront them face to face. ”

Shen Qing looked at him with a smile, like a wolf seeing a rabbit fall into his trap, proud, contemptuous, and condescending, he turned his head to Zhuang Yan on the high platform and said: "Your Majesty, after the old minister learned that he was raising people to make trouble, he knew that the time had come to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Rites, so he immediately sent someone to take Huang Yaotian and Huang Weiwen into Beijing. ”

"No way. He Changxu blurted out in horror. But as soon as the words fell, he immediately regretted it, he was too eager, too sure.

Sure enough, Shen Qing was a little surprised and puzzled: "What's impossible? Why is Lord He so sure?"

He Changxu snorted coldly: "What the old man hasn't done, how can it happen, even if you let Huang Yaotian and his son come out to confront the old man, it won't change the result that I want to join you." ”

In a hurry, He Changxu almost forgot that Shen Qing's words were just to excuse himself, so he immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty, these nonsense words of the Ministry of Officials are just to cover up his crimes.

It has become a fact that he sold his official position, and as long as the emperor orders the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to go to his house to investigate, there will naturally be the truth. ”

Shen Qing secretly clenched his fists, this old horseman is bound to fight with him and break the net, right? He hurriedly refuted himself: "Your Majesty, He Changxu knew that he couldn't cover it up, so he used this nonsense to delay time, and even wanted to transfer the blame to the old minister."

The old minister implored the emperor to announce that Huang Yaotian and Huang Weiwen would go to the palace and confront He Changxu face to face. ”

He Changxu was already in a cold sweat on his back, and his head was dizzy for a while, could it be that Huang Yaotian was really not dead? He was very unsure in his heart, but Shen Qing didn't look like he was lying, just now it was so easy to stop letting Zhang Tian's wife and parents go to the palace to confront him, but what if Huang Yaotian was really alive?

He had no tricks for a while, so he could only watch Zhuang Yan give an order and order Huang Yaotian and his son to go to the palace, and he was immediately anxious.

Cao Wanli looked at Xin Zhongqiao, but the latter shook his head slightly, he understood, and gave a few more glances to the people behind him.

The other ministers in the court, witnessing this dramatic development, exchanged glances with each other and their neighbors, and could not guess the outcome of this battle between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, but in any case, the biggest winner was the one who sat at the top, and the worst loser was the one who stood at the head of the ministers below.

This contest between Wenchen will be a heavy blow to Qiu Wanao.
