The vacant slots, everyone wants to install their own people. Xiahou Yichen looked sideways slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, the servants of the Ministry are divided into left and right waiters, and there is no Wu Jingren's left waiter, and there is also a right waiter, so why worry." Waiting for the spring of the next year, the imperial examination will select good talents, and it is not better to leave the opportunity to newcomers. ”

"The prince's words are wrong. Yi Hongyuan retorted: "Newcomers should be given the opportunity to cultivate their careers by virtue of scientific examinations. However, when they first entered the officialdom, although they were talented, they lacked knowledge and ability, and they were unable to take charge of their own affairs, so how could they be qualified for the post of servants of the Ministry of Officials? Moreover, when they entered the office, they sat in the position of the servants of the Ministry of Officials, which was equivalent to ascending to the sky in one step, so how should those officials with lofty ideals who had contributed to the imperial court for many years feel? I am afraid that this will be difficult to convince the public!

His analytical words were supported by hundreds of officials between the newcomers and the elderly. They have been officials for many years, and who doesn't want to climb higher? Finally, when they have the opportunity, even if they can't do it themselves, they want their own people to replace them. But if the opportunity is taken away by a newcomer, not to mention that it will be inconvenient to do things in the future, they don't know where to put their old faces.

"Then what is the opinion of the Grand Master?" Xiahou Yichen asked with a smile, seemingly not caring about the disagreement between the two at all.

"Your Majesty, the position of the servant of the Ministry of Officials is also an important position in the court, and it should not be underestimated. It is reasonable to appoint capable and experienced elderly people to take on the role, who are familiar with the various laws and regulations and matters of the DPRK and China, and are convincing in terms of ability, experience, and insight into things. In addition, the six ministries perform their own duties, and if the personnel from the other five departments are transferred in the past, it is extremely inappropriate, so it is better to promote talents from within the ministry, and wait for the spring scientific examination to select talents, and then make up for the personnel to come in. Speaking of this, Yi Hongyuan paused slightly, "Such a new career talent can have the opportunity to exercise and learn, and it will not affect the overall situation." ”

Xiahou Yichen raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with interest, "Taishi means that the subordinate replaces the superior?"

"Exactly, there was a precedent for this in our dynasty, and it is not an arrogance. Yi Hongyuan said tepidly.

Xiahou Yixuan listened carefully, as if he was thinking about whether this matter was feasible.

It's a good idea for a subordinate to replace a superior. The smile on Xiahou Yichen's face became brighter and brighter. If he remembered correctly, among the officials of Wu Jingren's subordinates, the young man named Wang Hao was one of Yi Hongyuan's protégés.

Yi Hongyuan helped Lin Lanhai come out today, and he already had the intention of wooing him. After letting his people become Lin Lanhai's right-hand man, if he couldn't win him over, he waited for Lin Xiaoyou to pull Lin Lanhai off the horse, and then he naturally had the means and ability to take the officials into his pocket.

At present, three of the six departments are not satisfied in his hands, and the household department, the criminal department, and the ritual department are all his people. Now that his eyes are on the officials again, his appetite is really big.

Xiahou Yichen and Xiahou Yixuan exchanged a look, and Xiahou Yixuan smiled: "What the Taishi said makes sense, so the Ministry of Rites will draft a decree to promote the Ministry of Officials to be the Ministry of Officials, and he will take office on the same day." The remaining vacancies are to be filled by good candidates. ”

"Yes. The Ministry of Rites replied.

After getting off the court, Xiahou Yichen left suddenly. When I walked to the palace gate, I found a figure waiting anxiously here.

Not far away, Wu's head was bandaged with strips of cloth, his face was a little pale, trembling in the cold wind, looking very anxious.

Xiahou Yichen strode over, and before he got closer, he asked with a smile, "Mrs. Lin is waiting for Lord Lin to go down?"

That flamboyant look deeply stabbed Wu's eyes, looking at the people coming towards her, her heart suddenly twitched fiercely, she couldn't go, she couldn't hide, so she had to salute and say: "I've seen the prince, I'm waiting for my master." ”

"But for the sake of Lord Wu's family?" Pausing a few steps away from her, Xiahou Yichen smiled and groaned: "This king also knows, it's a pity to say, Lord Wu is afraid that this time it will be more than lucky." ”

Listening to his straightforward and melodious voice, Wu lowered his head and frowned, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. I thought she was a three-year-old child, so foolish! This was clearly his calculation with Lin Xiaoyu. She gritted her teeth slightly, and begged in a low voice: "Please also ask the prince to raise his noble hand and spare the life of my brother of the Wu family." ”

"Look at what Mrs. Lin said. Xiahou Yichen laughed twice as if he had heard a big joke, his eyes were shining, and his smile was like a blooming poppy, so beautiful that it was suffocating. "Speaking of which, you really asked for the wrong person, it is not this king who harmed Lord Wu, you should ask Lord Lin to be right. This king came here to kindly remind you, go back to the house and persuade Lord Lin, you are all a family, why do you have to be so ruthless and deadly, Lord Wu is your mother's brother, Lord Lin acts like this, doesn't he abandon Mrs. You and make you embarrassed. ”

His gloating words, with Sen Sen's coldness, were like a sharp knife mercilessly poking at Wu's heart, scaring her on the spot, and she took a few steps back incredibly, and the danger could not stand.

What did Xiahou Yichen just say? Lin Lanhai wants to attack his eldest brother, no, how is it possible? No. Over the years, the eldest brother has been his left arm and right arm, how could he attack his own people.

Wu's mind was blank, his thoughts were messy, and he couldn't believe it for a long time. When she came back to her senses and wanted to ask clearly, Xiahou Yichen had already laughed and walked away.

Not long after, Lin Lanhai also came out of the palace gate, and when he saw the Wu family waiting here, his face suddenly sank, and he reprimanded angrily: "What are you doing here? This is also where you can come." ”

Wu Shi looked up at him blankly, as if he saw a savior, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what about my eldest brother?"

In the grand court, the officials of the next dynasty came and went. Receiving everyone's visiting eyes, Lin Lanhai was so angry that he was going to die, but he was in a high position, taking into account the overall situation, and knew that it was not suitable to make trouble here, so he could only swallow his anger and persuade: "If you go back to the house, you are talking about everything." ”

"No, you tell me, is what he said true? Is it true?" Xiahou Yichen's words had already confused the Wu family, how could he obey.

"What is really fake, are you crazy?" Lin Lanhai glanced around, hurriedly pulled her to the side and no one, and said angrily: "Wu Jingren committed a capital crime, I can't save him." ”

Wu Shi pinched his hand, stared at him angrily and gritted his teeth: "I can't save him, so I have to send him to die?"

The pain in his hand made Lin Lanhai's brows furrow, and he shook her off angrily, "They don't die, do you want to let the Lin Mansion die for them?" he said with a sneer, his face full of mockery, "Don't tell Master Ben that you are not afraid of death, you and I will go to the Wu Mansion together that day, don't you also persuade Wu Jingren to take the responsibility alone and put the Lin Mansion out of the matter." Now that the incident has happened, blame me for being ruthless. Think of your daughters, and don't forget how they took revenge on you. ”

Lin Lanhai was on fire, and he finally escaped death in the early dynasty, and the Wu family still had to find bad luck for him, so he was really a good bully.

Hearing him mention Lin Qingyue, Wu's eyes suddenly widened, and then a painful look appeared on his face. On one side is her own brother, and on the other side is her beloved daughter in her hand, and she is in a dilemma between the middle. Lin Qingyue's matter, she is not hateful, not angry, but in the end it is her mother's brother, how can she watch him die.

When she took the initiative to go to Wu Mansion to persuade before, she was indeed selfish. But what she wanted was to save the Lin Mansion first, and she was thinking about saving them. From the bottom of her heart, she never had the idea of sending them to death. She herself is a person from the Wu Mansion, for so many years, she has closely linked the blessings and misfortunes of the two mansions of Lin and Wu, and she has been so stable in the Lin Mansion precisely because of the support of the Wu Mansion. If there is no Wu Mansion, what is the difference between her and ordinary women, and what is it. Even now, when Yue'er is destroyed in their hands, she still has a glimmer of hope. Who would have thought that what was waiting for was Lin Lanhai's ruthlessness of turning his face and not recognizing people.

"Good, good, good, I can see your black heart. Wu Shi trembled with anger, nodded and pointed at him with a sad sneer. How could she forget that she has been married for many years, and she has actually seen clearly what kind of person Lin Lanhai is. All he cared about was his future status, in his eyes, she and Wu Fu were nothing, they would be used when they were useful, and they would be cleared when they were in the way, and what he couldn't do.

Seeing Wu pointing at him with his finger, Lin Lanhai felt that his authority was seriously challenged, and grabbed her finger angrily. Since his face was torn, he still cared about what kind of feelings, "Don't look at me with such eyes, this old man is black-hearted, how much better do you think you can be, we are only half a catty." ”

Wu's hands ached, his heart twitched for a while, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Lin Lanhai snorted coldly, looked around, took out something from his arms and put it in her hand while no one was paying attention, and said expressionlessly: "Give you a chance to avenge your daughter, take this to see Wu Jingren, anyway, his two sisters-in-law are in your hands, as for what to do, you should know it in your heart." ”

"No, I don't. Touching that thing, Wu was like touching a hot potato, and he was anxious to retract his hand, but Lin Lanhai grabbed her and couldn't break free.

"I can't help you. Lin Lanhai warned, "You'd better do what I say honestly, maybe I can let you continue to be your Mrs. Lin in the future." Otherwise, hmph, you try. ”

No wonder he was in a hurry, the Criminal Department had already interrogated Wu Jingren overnight last night, if it weren't for Pei Yuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who deliberately released water on his past friendships, he would have been imprisoned today. Now all eyes were on him, and he couldn't act rashly. But the Wu family is different, she can take the opportunity to see Lin Qingyue. As long as Wu Jingren committed suicide in prison, there was no evidence of his death, and no one could threaten him. When the time comes, if it is found out, it is Wu's hand, and she is crazy to avenge her daughter, what does it have to do with him! Even if the above blames it, it is just a little punishment.

Let her murder her own brother, he can figure it out. "Lin Lanhai, you are a ruthless bastard, a complete villain, a hypocrite, you are not human. Lin Lanhai's ruthlessness completely collapsed the Wu family. The long-suppressed panic, grievances, anger and other negative emotions erupted together. I don't know when the tears flowed, and when she opened her mouth, she was full of bitter and salty water, scolding and scolding, her eyes were red, and she begged in a low voice: "Master, please, save Wu Mansion, save my eldest brother." Over the years, he has helped so much, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, how can you bear it. ”

Wu's embarrassed appearance is still the noble lady who was high-spirited at the beginning.

"You're unreasonable. Looking at the almost crazy Wu family, Lin Lanhai was still indifferent, and said hatefully: "If you want me to save him, who will save me?" After speaking, he left Wu, shook his hand and left.

"Even if you don't care about Wu Mansion, what about Yue'er, Yue'er is your own daughter. Wu said with a hiss behind him.

was embarrassed to mention Lin Qingyue to him, as long as he thought of the suppression and ridicule of his colleagues in the early dynasty, as well as all kinds of ridicule and humiliating words, Lin Lanhai's heart was furious. It was because of the Wu family's excessive spoiling that Lin Qingyue's arrogance and arrogance brought him today's shame. Now, she doesn't even want to give it to others as a concubine, and she has lost her value. Such a disgraced daughter, don't do it.

Looking at his resolute figure, Wu's face was like ashes. 's daughter, after all, was abandoned by him.
