Gu Hai was suddenly promoted to the secretary of the ministry, and it was not only Li Shangshu and the two servants of the ministry who were angry in his heart, but the Min family also had some complaints.

Especially Cheng Engong, he was very unhappy in his heart.

He is the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and no one is as close as him. But apart from the title of Duke Cheng'en, he didn't get much benefit. The original difference has also been lost, and now the court listens to and discusses politics, and listens more to "discussions" and less.

Cheng Engong wanted to "discuss", but unfortunately none of the old ministers in the court took him seriously. As the emperor's own nephew, he is not a warmer to him, and no one listens to what he says.

Cheng'en Gong was full of unhappiness, and he returned to the house full of complaints. It was inconvenient for him to enter the palace, so he asked Duchess Chengen to enter the palace and gave the Gu family eye medicine in front of the Empress Dowager Min.

What "the Son of Heaven only values the queen's mother's family", what "the dignified son of heaven's family is not as strong as the Gu family's holy family", what "where does this put the queen mother" and so on, said a lot of words.

In all fairness, Empress Dowager Min also had some bad feelings when she heard it. It's not really that she cares about anything, she knows very well that the Gu family is a general who holds real power, and the position of marquis is earned by fighting for it. The Min family is out of reach.

However, after hearing too many such words, Empress Dowager Min was inevitably a little unhappy. There was always a feeling that my son's elbow was turned outward.

Gu Wanning has not been in the palace for a few days, and Duchess Chengen's courage has also increased, and she has entered the palace for two days in a row to ask for peace. In just a few days, this is the third time to enter the palace.

Empress Dowager Min was impatient to see her sister-in-law, so she sent her away directly. Among them, there is also the reluctance to let Gu Guanning know the inside story, so as not to make the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law unhappy.

Gu Wanning thoughtfully pretended not to know.

After the palace maid retreated, Empress Dowager Min wanted to explain in a vague manner: "As soon as Duchess Chengen comes, she will disturb our interest in talking, so she will simply send her back." ”

Gu Wanning smiled slightly: "What the queen mother said is true." ”

Soon casually pulled away from the topic.

Empress Dowager Min secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When I think of my mother's family who has nothing to do, I don't want to be sad in my heart.

Can't you live a good life?

What's wrong with being a good Duke Cheng En and Duchess Cheng En? What are you doing staring at the Gu family all day long! If you really want to compare, you have to have the ability of the Gu family. I don't have this ability, and I still think about things all day long, and I can't help but toss like this with no amount of blessing.

Because of her, Xiao Xu took care of the Min family, and Gu Wanning was also generous to the Min family. The Min family is so blessed, and they still want to make a fuss...... What a headache!

Empress Dowager Min didn't want to think about these bad things, so she gossiped a few words with Gu Wanning, and then hugged her good grandchildren and went to talk.

……

Two months later.

In autumn, the weather gets cooler.

There have been two major incidents in the Ministry of Officials recently.

The first is the new secretary of the ministry, Gu Haihai, who purged and rectified the ministry. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of hundreds of officials and has the responsibility of inspecting hundreds of officials. Rectifying the interior is a new thing, and it also makes everyone in the Ministry of Officials vigilant and self-endangered.

The second thing is closely related to the first.

In the past two months, it has been discovered that several officials have been corrupt for personal gain, and have even secretly solicited bribes from ordinary officials. Such ugly acts are truly appalling and outrageous.

Gu Hai was furious, and personally enlightened the Son of Heaven and presented the collected evidence. Then he strongly advocated severe punishment and dismissed all these officials from their posts and sent them to prison.

Gu Haimian's words when he played also quickly spread among the hundred officials: "...... The officials are the head of the six departments, and the officials of the officials should be loyal and patriotic, act cautiously, and be a model for hundreds of officials. The emperor's benevolence is a blessing for the officials and the people. However, these officials are corrupt and pervert the law, abuse their power for personal gain, and fail to live up to the grace of God, and their sins are unforgivable, and they must be severely punished to set an example. ”

"Thanks to the emperor's trust, let Weichen serve as the secretary of the ministry. Weichen is willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain, and do his best for Daqin. Even if he bears the name of ruthlessness and cruelty for this, Weichen is willing. ”

What a loyal Gu Shangshu!

What a Gu Shangshu who is willing to sword for the Son of Heaven!

The Son of Heaven was moved, and allowed Gu Shangshu to play. On the same day, an order was issued to dismiss all the officials of the Ministry of Officials and put them in the prison of the Criminal Department. The case involved several officials, and the highest official rank was the official department of the four pinlang.

This case immediately caused a sensation in the court, and everyone was shocked.

Gu Hai's ruthless reputation also spread quickly. No one dares to underestimate this handsome and dignified Gu Shangshu who laughs when he sees people.

There are always some people who are particularly alert and keen, and they quickly smell the truth after this major case of officials.

Most of these fallen officials had close contacts with the left servants of the ministry. And the left servant of the ministry is Fu Gelao's proud protégé.

This brutal power struggle ended with Gu Hai's victory.

After this blow, Zuo Shilang was cut off by most of his henchmen, and he was no longer able to confront Gu Hai, so he took the initiative to return home. The internal strife of the officials came to an end.

……

Fu Gelao, who was worried about Ding Wei, received a handwritten letter from the left servant of the ministry.

A few pieces of letterhead, full of the anger and helplessness of the former protégé.

Fu Ge Lao is still well-informed, and he has known a series of changes in the court long before this letter. After reading this letter, Fu Ge suddenly aged a lot, and stayed alone in the study all day.

“…… Gu Hai is cunning and wise, and his methods are ruthless. Those who were imprisoned in the prison were imprisoned for several years or put to death. Those who were originally attached to the subordinate officials were shocked. Some have already taken refuge in Gu Hai, and some of them dare not go to the official gate again. The general trend has gone, and Xia Guan has to lie dormant for the time being, waiting for the coming day. ”

"Please take care of your health, and after three years, you will return to the court. The lower officials are still concerned about the old man and are willing to be the pawn of the old man. ”

At the end of the letter, it was particularly sad.

In short, no one dared to provoke the ruthless Gu Hai again. In addition to this loyal protégé, the officials have already fallen into Gu Hai's hands. In the future, he will re-enter the court, and there will be no one available in the ministry.

Re-enter the court......

It's easier said than done!

As soon as Cui Ge entered the cabinet, Wang Ge became the first assistant. Could it be that after three years, Wang Ge Lao will obediently give up the position of first assistant?

A husband cannot be without power for a day. In just a few months, his influence on the court has gradually diminished. Three years later, I don't know what the situation is!

A few months ago, he was full of ambition. But I didn't expect that it would fall to this point.

Master Fu and Master Fu came to the study separately, but they were all turned away. Mrs. Fu also came twice, and Fu Ge Lao was nowhere to be seen.

It wasn't until the voice of the eldest grandson Fu Zhuo sounded outside the door that Fu Ge Lao's face, which had always been like a dry well, had a ripple.

"My grandson has something important to tell me. Through a thick door panel, Fu Zhuo's voice was particularly low: "I implore grandfather to open the door and see my grandson." ”
