As soon as King Lunnan died, the seven dragon pillars were collected by King Zhao, and they rose from the ground with a bang.

Except for the ruins of the Imperial Palace, the entire royal city was largely unharmed.

However, when Shen Chai and the others drove the warship over, they obviously sensed that some powerful aura was quietly extinguished.

Mysterious men in black are constantly appearing all over the royal city, killing some officials who want to escape.

As the master of the feudal kingdom, King Toyama took refuge in the forces of the outside world, and it was not a soul slave, which is really unpredictable.

The huge official power under his command is deeply involved, after all, the masters of a country have taken refuge, and it is difficult for the people below to say that they are absolutely clean.

And the man in black who killed these officials belonged to the Supervision Department!

"These people...... The strength is not weak. Shen Chai stood on the deck, sensing the hidden battles. Although it is relatively low-key, the distance is so close, and Lu Yuanwei has always opened the pantheon mirror, of course he can see clearly.

Among them, there are many Venerable Sixth-Order officials, who easily killed the Venerable Ninth-Order officials, and then indifferently searched and destroyed the corpses.

As for those civil officials, there is basically nothing to look forward to.

Usually, the cultivation of civil officials is completely based on the bureaucratic system, and most of them rely on the luck of the imperial court to promote their cultivation.

Look up and down, and get up and down just as fast.

With a single secret order, the central government can send those civil officials who have cultivated to the ninth rank of the Venerable into the abyss.

Of course, above His Holiness, it's not that simple.

The members of the three ranks, who are the pillars of the country, are generally in important positions in the six ministries, or are directly the ministers of the center, and must be submitted to the emperor by the center, and the imperial pen and Zhu are approved, and the holy decree can be abolished before the civil officials above the three grades can be abolished.

"I have just inquired, and none of the thirty-six sons of King Lunnan are clean, and all of them have been disposed of. Kong Yangzhou appeared behind Shen and shook his head constantly. "The thirty-six royal families have been uprooted, and the heirs of the royal families within eight generations, above the Lingqiao realm, all have no way to live. Even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will be imprisoned in a deserted prison and die of old age. ”

"Lun Nanguo, it's basically over. Shen Chai sighed.

The lords of a country have all taken refuge in foreign forces, and it is obvious that the people below are definitely not clean. If a prince travels abroad, or cultivates in the secret realm of the imperial court, and proves that it has absolutely nothing to do with this matter, then maybe there is still a chance to inherit part of the kingdom's property.

However, this situation of King Lunnan is obviously impossible. The most likely thing is to remove the title and split the Lunnan Kingdom into several large prefectures, which are directly under the jurisdiction of Kyoto.

"Hmph, this King Lunnan deserves it. Kong Yangzhou snorted coldly. "He lured the Southern Xinjiang Witch Gu Sect into neighboring countries, and then betrayed the information, causing a prince to die on the battlefield outside the sky more than 70 years ago. And five years ago, the national policy of destroying the sect and abandoning the temple was implemented, and King Talunnan was the most jumping. ”

"If it's just the first two cases, death will be death, maybe Your Majesty will still take care of the old feelings, leave him a bloodline, and it is possible to descend to an idle marquis. Not to be killed. ”

The two chatted as they moved forward. Soon the mysterious men in black disappeared one after another.

Not long after, a large number of majestic purple fleets appeared in front and negotiated with King Zhao's personal guards. Among them were generals in armor and officials in civilian attire.

"Who are those?" asked Shen Chai suspiciously.

The honor guard to greet King Zhao was accompanied by Qin Ming, a waiter from the Ministry of War, Cheng Hai, a waiter from the Ministry of Rites, and Hagrid, a transfer envoy from the two continents. They led us into the capital. "Kongyang State Road. "There should be some people from the Inspectorate there, but I don't know. ”

"Hagrid?" Shen Chai seemed to think that he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Shen Chai, the transshipment envoy of these two continents, Hagrid, is Haiqing's father. Zen reminded.

"Huh, Haiqing?" Shen Chai suddenly said.

At the beginning, in the secret realm of the Holy Word, there were several difficult opponents in the third level. And the sea green and the dragon are one of the forces.

Speaking of which, Long Ji and Haiqing finally want to form an alliance with themselves, and plan to exchange the secret of promotion above the eldest chief. However, Shen Chai found the secret of being the king through Haiqing's words, and finally was able to enter the Great Xia Palace City, meet the second emperor Xia Wei, and be crowned the king of Pingyang.

"It seems that after entering Beijing, I will meet a group of old acquaintances. Shen Chai smiled slightly.

Wei Tianlong, who was originally handed over to his own bag, Ji Chang, a son of the royal family......

A water curtain appeared in his palm, and the name of the greeting team appeared in the token, and after a while, Shen Chai saw an extremely familiar name - Wei Wenhe.

"From the fifth grade, the secretary of the Guest Division?" Shen Chai looked at the profile on the list and smiled slightly. From Wupin, this official in the capital is not small, and it is obvious that his former top boss is also a good mix.

"Lao Kong, is this secretary of the Guest Division considered a big official?" asked Shen Chai.

Kong Yangzhou looked at Shen Chai with a strange expression: "The various departments of the Ministry of Rites have the Zhangjia Division, the Sacrifice Division, the Qing Officials Division, the Casting and Seal Division, and the Zhangbin Division. One of the most oily and watery is this palmer, why, you have a friend in charge?"

"It's a fifth-grade official, how can it be as bad as you said. Shen Chai frowned slightly.

"Haha, if you want to talk about force, I think I'm not as good as you, but if you understand various departments, Brother Shen, you are far inferior to me. Kong Yangzhou said proudly.

"The departments of the Ministry of Rites are in charge of the ceremony, military ceremony, and academic affairs. Docking the sacrificial temple, army dispatch, school palace management and many other affairs, although they are all self-appointed and clear-minded, there is no shortage of oil and water. ”

"Let's not talk about the sacrificial division, the major affairs of the country are in Rong!"

"The Qing Officials Division, involving the incorruptible etiquette in the promotion of official positions, is a big fat water yamen!"

"The Casting and Printing Division, which is in charge of casting internal and external officials' seal documents, is equivalent to the self-working department of the Ministry of Rites, which is not unimportant. ”

"Only this guest director, hehe, is the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to welcome guests, if it sounds good, it is an official, and if it is not good, it is the envoy of the Ministry of Rites!"

Kong Yangzhou pointed to the group of people who nodded after the official. "You see, those are the people in charge. The official of the Ministry of Rites went downstairs to the boat and laid a long ladder. Sit down and serve tea...... There are a lot of rules in this, unlike our soldiers, when they get to the place, they can collect the warship and jump down directly. ”

"If the five products are positive, it can still be a little beneficial. But from the secretary of the five products, there is nothing to gain, but there is a lot of work to do. In terms of benefits, it is not as good as a clean official from the sixth grade! Who has your friend offended?

After ......listening to Kong Yangzhou's introduction, Shen Chai couldn't help but be speechless. The brows gradually furrowed.

According to him, Wei Wenhe is young, has good talent, and has his back to the Wei family, and he is his great-grandfather. How could such a character be willing to stay in such a dispensable yamen as the Ministry of Rites?

"Let's go. Shen Chai folded his palms and came out of the warship.

"Where's it going? Wait for me. Kong Yangzhou hurriedly followed.

............

There was a lilac building ship in the welcome procession, and this building ship was the protocol building ship sent by the chief of the guest department. The exterior is majestic and solemn, but the interior is indeed antique and full of bookish atmosphere.

And in the ship of the concierge building, there is an old man, the old man's hair is meticulously combed, sitting leisurely on the big chair, sipping fragrant tea.

From time to time, officials come in and out to report, but when facing Li Wenqing, the chief officer in charge of the guest department, they all subconsciously slowed down, for fear that if something was wrong, they would be reprimanded.

After a while, after drinking a cup of tea, Li Wenqing put down his cup, beckoned a young official to come over, and asked, "Can the people sent to Wenxinhou's warship to obey orders be arranged?"

"Your Excellency, people have been sent, all of them are shrewd and clever, and I guarantee that Wen Xinhou is satisfied. No ritual is omitted during the sacrifice. The young official said respectfully.

"Very good, the court is newly crowned Marquis, and the ceremony is a big deal. Whether Wen Xinhou is not satisfied, or the princes of the imperial court are not satisfied, it is we who are scolded by the Governor of the Guest Division, and we must not make a mistake at all! I tell the people who go to be cautious and respectful, and if they offend the Commander of the Guest Division, they are ready to stay in the Palm Guest Division for the rest of their lives!"

It seems that the appearance of this last sentence made the young official extremely frightened, and he immediately said: "Yes, my lord, I will go and see if there is anything missing." ”

"Wait, come back!" Li Wenqing called out to the young official again. "Champion Hou's side. ”

The young official's face changed slightly, "This ......"

"Bastard, you dare to be contemptuous over there, Champion Hou?!" Li Wenqing said angrily. "Annoyed him, you won't even have the chance to stay in the palm of the company for retirement!"

"Great, great. The young official said aggrievedly. "It's Lord Wei who is in charge of the champion Hou, and it's none of his subordinates' business. ”

"He Wei Wenhe doesn't understand etiquette, and you don't understand it after following the old man for so long?!"

"Hurry up and send someone over, by the way, call Wei Wenhe to me!"

"Yes. The young officer hurried away.

"This thing doesn't know what to do......" A trace of anger flashed in Li Wenqing's eyes.

Seeing the angry officials on the side, the movements became lighter.

At the same time, they all felt a moment of silence for the young Master Wei.

Obviously, the title of Champion Hou is of great significance, and in terms of courtesy, it is heavier than Wenxin Hou. But there is such a mistake at this juncture?

Originally, the Wei family lost power in the imperial court, and that Lord Wei was also disliked by Si Zheng on weekdays, but this is good, and he also gave a handle.

"Master Wei, you're going to suffer. ”

"After settling with the champion Hou, maybe you will be promoted in the future. ”

"If you are favored and take it to the Hou Kingdom together, it is better than staying in the Zhangbin Division...... It's no wonder that Si Zheng is angry. ”

"Shhhh ”

“......”

The busy officials continued to go their separate ways, and when they sent people to the Champion Hou warship, Shen Chai came directly to the outside of the protocol warship.

This one is the boat of the Weiwen River.

"Brother Wenhe. A divine thought from Shen Chase floated lightly on the courtesy ship barrier.

"Who?" a mellow voice sounded.

"It's me, Shen Chai. ”

"Shen Chasing?" Wei Wenhe lifted the curtain and walked out. looked at Shen Chai happily.

"It's me. Shen Chai arched his hand and smiled. "Brother Wenhe, long time no see. ”

"Quick, please come in. Wei Wenhe also waved his hand, opened the barrier, and invited Shen Chai in.

After entering the ship, the two took their seats. Naturally, it was inevitable to have a pleasantry.

"It's been nearly two years since Heyuan County said goodbye, but I didn't expect you to become a martial artist. Wei Wenhe looked at Shen Chai today, his majesty was completely different from the past, and he was also embarrassed.

"No matter how big an official is, he doesn't dare to forget Brother Wenhe's kindness at the beginning. Without Brother Wenhe's promotion at the beginning, how could there be today's champion Hou?" Shen Chai smiled, he always remembered this, if it wasn't for the resources that the county respected at the beginning, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come to this day so easily.

"It's you who work hard enough, and I, Wei Wenhe, don't have the ability to promote a martial marquis. Wei Wenhe shook his head slightly, as if he was laughing at himself.

"Brother Wenhe seems to be worried?" Shen asked.

"Don't say it. Wei Wenhe took out a pot of wine, filled it for Shen Chai, and invited Shen Chai to drink it together.

Shen Chai picked up the wine glass and glanced at Wei Wenhe, the other party has changed a lot, Wei Wenhe never drank alcohol before, only drank tea, and was full of spirit. And now, there is a sense of vicissitudes all over my body.

Thinking about coming to the capital in the past two years, it doesn't seem to be very satisfactory.

Shen Chai didn't urge, so he accompanied Wei Wenhe to drink a few times.

After three glasses of wine, Wei Wenhe's eyebrows went straight to the top point, and he talked more.

"King Lunnan collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, he should be killed, but his kings and grandsons within eight generations are all people who deserve to die?"

"As soon as the name of the country is removed, the king is beheaded, and the wall is pushed by everyone, not only does not intercede for it, but falls into the ground, and orders the Supervision Department to expand the scope of the Zhulian, it is really a hot and cold world, and the means are ...... to the sky."

Shen Chai frowned, found that Wei Wenhe meant something, and asked. "I don't know who Brother Wenhe is worth?"

"Who else could it be?" Wei Wenhe chuckled. "Of course it's the Prime Minister of the Peace!"

Shen Chai's eyelids jumped slightly, and he certainly knew some celebrity anecdotes in the capital. Among them is his potential enemy, the Fan family!

Fan Wenhan, the prime minister of the left, was extremely powerful in the capital, and the dynasty respected the left, and his strategy of governing was often criticized. Because if something bad happens in the vassal states, this left minister will either be extremely ruthless and secretly suppressed, or he will be dealt with after the pressure and whitewash the peace.

In short, the strategy he implemented must be stable and peaceful in all aspects, and there will be no drawbacks!

The officials sent by the imperial court to deal with it saw that it was indeed a peaceful situation, but in fact, the bitter fruits were passed on to the low-level people in various vassal states.

"Brother Wenhe, I remember you once said that after returning to Beijing, the place you want to go to the most is the Criminal Department, why do you ......?"

Wei Wenhe smiled bitterly: "The ancestor's policy of destroying the sect and abandoning the temple was rejected, and in the first year of the will to be withdrawn, the left minister united with hundreds of officials to criticize the ancestor, forcing the ancestor to retire. As a result, the position of the right minister has been replaced by Yang Wenguang Yang. ”

Wei Wenhe sighed: "For my brother to be able to mix with the secretary of the five grades in the Ministry of Rites, it is still clear to Lord Yang, so he left a way for the young people of my Wei family in the officialdom." ”

"Brother Wei, don't worry, with your intelligence, sooner or later there will be a ......" Shen Chai was about to say a few words of relief, but found that someone had broken in from the enchantment outside.

A fair-skinned young official, when he saw that Wei Wenhe was actually drinking with a stranger, immediately shouted angrily:

"Wei Wenhe, at the moment of important business, you are still drinking and having fun here! Such dereliction of duty, if you anger the champion Hou, how can you afford it?! Your black gauze hat that is hard to keep is probably going to float away completely!"

"Hmph, why don't you hurry up and prepare the ceremony and arrange it. Then quickly go to Lord Si Zheng to ask for sin!"
