Chapter 213

"Your pen is bigger than the Ministry of Works." Mu Jinming is afraid of something, afraid that the Xi Dynasty will kill the household in a pot, this is not really more true than a prophecy, and now he is simply crying and laughing at Xi Chao's approach.

"I'm afraid there will be changes on the side of the country." The Xi Dynasty didn't want to make such a big move, which was equivalent to becoming a live target for the courtiers to attack, but fortunately, he collected some of the incriminating evidence in advance and could bluff one or two, otherwise he would not have stood in the position of listening to the government in the court.

Mu Jinming saw how much risk the Xi Dynasty had, patted the shoulder of the Xi Dynasty and sighed helplessly, "It's hard for you, it's not a day or two that the defense of the country intends to go to war, and most of the foreign tribes who often harass the border are related to the defense of the country." "It seems that this battle, which has been delayed for many years, cannot be avoided after all.

"Prepare first." We must not let Wei Guo be caught off guard, Xi Chao has too many things to do, and I feel tired unconsciously.

"How are you going to choose the vacant position in the household department?" Where to find the manpower, it will not be replaced by the dark guard, if you really want to be like that, Mu Jinming doesn't know what to say, the first person to be scared out of the disease is definitely not himself, but the Chinese martial arts hundred officials, think about being the same dynasty as the dark guard who kills people without blinking, hehe is exciting enough.

"Why don't you bring up some of the people assigned by your father and use them first." Mu Jin couldn't guess Xi Chao's plan, and slightly mentioned his opinion.

"Those people can't move, not to mention whether they have political achievements in their own positions, how many people are in the position of the household department, and there is no reasonable reason to promote people to the position of the household department, and they will be opposed by many officials. It doesn't matter if you have the power to arrive, you have ambitions, and the word temporary generation can no longer tie the hearts of the people. Ambition is inflated, no matter how much identity you and I have, we can't stand up to the calculation of uniting.

The Xi Dynasty will not use the manpower left by his father, not to mention the problem of ability, the most concerned is loyalty Cheng dΓΉ, what will not be taught little by little, with their own fastest and most economical method, as long as it is not an elm head, those number problems in the household department are easy to solve.

"Now is not the time for you to rush to hire people." Shiochao analyzed. "Although there are many officials in the Great Prince's faction, which has caused no one to use at the present time, and those who are eager to promote themselves have caused the incident of deceiving the slaves and betraying their masters in the future, you must let others beg you for the right way. You rush to beg others, and there will always be a day when the heart of the snake swallows the elephant. "Containment before the situation is budding is the best way to avoid trouble.

"I understand." Mu Jinming is not a three-year-old child who is not ignorant, probably because he is in a hurry, and he is confused and loses his rules. Blinded by the fog.

"Take your time." Xi Chao could understand Mu Jinming's sense of urgency after he sat on the throne. More than half of the courtiers support Mu Zhao, there are too few people who can use it, and there are not many people who have the heart of attachment at hand for the people reserved by the father, so it is strange that they are not in a hurry under the two-phase attack.

"It's good to have you." Mu Jinming was really very grateful for the days when Xi Chao was by his side, waking himself up when necessary, and standing side by side with him to grasp the chess game.

"Calm down, you used to be the one who was comfortable in a group of old foxes." Xichao encouraged Mu Jinming to calm down and return to himself.

"Okay." Mu Jinming's heart was much lighter. He smiled at Xi Chao.

"Tell me, where are the candidates for the vacant positions?" Mu Jinming's words revisited the important matter.

"Mao Sui recommended himself." Xi Chao intends to make a statement among the officials of the DPRK and China. "Regardless of the size of the official position, you can apply for a period of three days, and the condition is that you must meet the position of household official."

"Are you casting a wide net to catch more fish?" Mu Jinming suddenly felt amused, "I don't know how many officials will break their heads and squeeze in when the news of you spreads, and the cunning of Mu Zhao's faction may take the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes." "I was a little worried.

"It's better than waiting for the courtiers to force you and me to compromise with false excuses." Xi Chao can see the situation clearly, "This way everyone will feel fair." "At least on the surface, so that the people of Mu Zhao's faction can't find mistakes, let alone play tricks, follow their own path, take control first, and don't give others a chance to take advantage of.

"Makes sense." Mu Jinming had to admire Xi Chao's astuteness, it seemed to be a very ordinary and even a loss, but it could play a miraculous role in Xi Chao's hands, and it seemed that he still had something to learn.

"Tomorrow morning." Mu Jinming couldn't wait to see the courtier's face change in an instant.

"Those officials of the household department can hand over the money they swallowed on time?" Mu Jinming had the honor to ask about gossip.

"Half of them have paid it, and the rest can't make it up, so I've asked them to settle the account with their land." Xi Chao has never been merciful to these scum, he can eat as much as he eats and spit out, he has no way to repay the debt, and it is enough to be gracious if he doesn't let people add interest, and he wants to kick his nose in the face, okay, anything can be solved by going to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Oh, those old foxes are not dead yet." Thinking of that situation, Mu Jinming couldn't stop coke.

"The grain produced in the good fields is enough to cope with the war." Xichao walked step by step according to the plan, and the seemingly ordinary things had a deep meaning.

"It's hard for you to think so thoughtfully." Mu Jinming let out a long sigh, feeling more ashamed than Xi Chao.

On the morning of the next day, some ministers mentioned that whether the autumn festival was held as scheduled was due to the strength of the whole country, and it was important to be cautious in selecting talents.

Mu Jinming only said that the autumn festival and the spring festival were postponed, how could the emperor have the heart to hold the autumn festival.

The postponement of the autumn festival was expected by the courtiers, and it was a pity that it was postponed last year to this year, and it will be postponed again this year.

The courtiers also asked whether the postponement would be postponed to next year, and then a series of issues that needed to be considered, such as whether the examination room might not be fully placed due to the large number of people, whether it needed to be expanded, and finally whether it would be postponed.

Mu Jinming only said that the postponement is uncertain, and it is not possible to divert a group of students in advance, or refer to it with the next batch, and these things will be discussed later.

The patriotic side really has to make some moves, how can the imperial examination be carried out together with the war, the war is difficult to calm down without a year or two of hard work, because the date of the imperial examination is uncertain, compared to the selection of talents Mu Jinming is more concerned about defending the country, or the border pass, when can he regain his own military power from the hands of those who are known as the emperors of the soil, the hands of the military generals.

There are all officials who can only slap their beards and flatter them. When it comes to serious things, one by one pretends to be quails, and no one can take it to worry about the king, Mu Jinming has a big head when he thinks about it. How can it be good that the people left behind by the father have no generals in their hands, does he have to wait until the border pass is unfortunately broken before he can seize power, the question is who to send to the right person to grab military merits with those old foxes at the border pass?

Alas, the more Mu Jin thinks about things, the more he solves it in advance, don't be unstable in the court at that time, I'm afraid that the emperor will do it.

For the ambiguity of the emperor, the courtiers were full of strangeness. Why can't we even give an exact answer to what has been decided, is there something going to happen during this period? No, what could be more important than selecting talents. How can the imperial examination be careless if it is a major event, some officials couldn't figure it out, so they asked, and Mu Jin was sent away with the word pending, since the emperor had no intention of saying more, and the officials who knew how to observe words and expressions stopped.

Next, it was discussed that the household officials were served by the Wing King without the emperor's consent and without a decree or will. Isn't that a slap in the face of the ministry? There is no royal law anymore, and the Wing King can put the emperor in his eyes by doing this.

A big hat is buttoned down and is about to ask the Wing King a charge of contempt for the Holy Hearing, once it is confirmed that the Wing King does not follow the rules, see that the Wing King can still sit peacefully on the court, and if he has a self-knowing name, hurry up and go back.

Mu Jinming looked at the courtiers below and said in his heart, this group of people who have good scars and look at the sore goods, don't use his brain to think about it, there are a few good ones in the Shangxi Dynasty. Stupid.

Xi Chao looked at the court with a cold eye, and the courtiers made nonsense and added trumped-up charges to themselves.

Seeing that the courtiers were getting more and more energetic, Mu Jinming was already impatient. Drinking the unscrupulousness of the officials below, it is clear that he is deceiving his youth, relying on his old qualifications not to take himself as the emperor in his eyes, and he really can't look down on the tricks that are hidden in the Xi Dynasty.

Mu Jinming can endure to see the courtiers arrogant, and one day let these dogs who eat inside and outside know what is the true meaning of the sentence that the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.

The courtiers waited quietly for the Winged King to justify himself, no matter what the excuse was, they had already thought of a way to deal with it, and they were not afraid that the Winged King would not be fooled.

Xi Chao said casually: "It seems that all of you have committed a mistake of planting false accusations without verification, the beginning and end of the matter this king will not say much, this king is sitting upright, a hundred times stronger than everyone present, since it is slander, this king to ask the criminal department Shangshu Zhou to come forward, this king has always been lenient and has always adhered to the principle of leaving a line in front of people to see each other in the future, since you are against the decision made by this king, please ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the corruption of household officials and stretch their hands to the treasury to enrich their own pockets. ”

"That's right." Without waiting for the courtiers to refute, Xi Chao smiled and said, "Who is behind the household officials, this king guesses that you have a very good idea in your hearts, and if you ask for fairness, even if this king mentions that all those who are implicated will be handled impartially in accordance with the criminal law once it is verified, what kind of feelings, no matter how much kindness can be made, how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials who have emptied the treasury money and grain can be counted, this is also a thorough fairness for those officials who have been talking about their clean sleeves and being fair and honest, what do you think?" ”

The courtiers were hit bloodless by a series of words from the Wing King, this is to purge the officialdom! The Wing King really dared to say that his heart couldn't help but tremble, the Wing King offended all the officials for no reason and came up with such a vicious scheme, so ruthless!

The official who was shouting at first glance was like a fox who was grabbed by the tail, honest, his head hung down to his chest and he couldn't wait to dig a pit and bury himself on the spot, who would have expected that the winged king would be so clever and fickle. Who is really a breeze with two sleeves, really so still alive, starved to death no less than ten times, once a thorough investigation does not let go, their future will be ruined here and will be burdened with a lot of infamy, the wing king is so spared, so that many officials began to chill, secretly scolded themselves for being dizzy, ignoring the wing king without the support of the emperor looks like a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others, how this time hit the iron plate, a bad really want to die without a place to be buried!

The other officials were furious, and threw their eyes at the officials who spoke before, they were really stupid, why didn't they have to stab the Wing King, they didn't have the ability to take it in, why did they dig a pit and bury it with others, what is this called! If the eye knife could be turned into a shape, countless blood holes would have been poked out.

The courtiers couldn't help but reflect on the past, and every time they seemed to grasp the evidence of the Winged King's crime, the Winged King, who was happily and jubilant, dismounted, and in the end, it was often a bamboo basket to draw water, but instead he and his colleagues were all pitted into it, and his eyes seemed blind and unclear. How can you see that the Wing King is a soft persimmon that is easy to handle, hateful, the taste of being pitted by colleagues is tasted again. In my heart, I was called a grievance, and I couldn't really take myself out, who let himself be cheap and greedy, and he had also fished out the silver of the treasury, and only then did he realize that the dumb person had the unspeakable pain of eating Coptis chinensis.

"There's one thing that happened to be said at the same time." Xi Chao raised his eyes and said with a cool voice, "This king, as the general manager of the household department, recently checked the accounts and found that the treasury had a pitiful amount of silver, and after careful investigation, I found that you adults have a penchant to borrow money from the household department from time to time. The number of white stripes frightened the king, obviously last year's annual situation can still be paid in full, and the number of copies should not be too much less. ”

The hearts of the courtiers sank. Wing King, what is this going to do! It can't be what you think, right? Don't be, there are many officials who silently recite the blessing of the Bodhisattva in their hearts, hoping to avoid today's hurdle.

"Your Excellency has a variety of reasons for borrowing money." Xi Chao's cold voice was full of frost, "In the end, it really can't be opened, and it takes silver to temporarily surround it for a few days." It's still a crooked heart of borrowing money and not paying it back. This king guesses that you are all understanding people, this king will not talk nonsense, how can the treasury be done without silver, you lords look at the face of this king, and liquidate the silver owed to the household department one by one, and it will be considered that everyone will see each other in the future. ”

The courtiers are now hot on the outside and cold on the inside, so hot that their bodies are wet with sweat, and their cold organs are shivering. Obviously it shouldn't be like this, how can the Wing King. How dare you!

The courtiers with different faces trembled with two lips and didn't know how to tell the difference, what the winged king said was true, and this was also an open secret that did not need to be said in the officialdom, just two days after sitting in the position of the head of the household department, all the household officials were forced to resign, and now it was their turn, and the feeling of hitting the back of the head with a foot was more painful than inadvertently being beaten with a stick.

"The deadline is set for five days." Xi Dynasty does not give the courtiers time to react, "settle the debt within five days, and those who do not pay the balance can go to the criminal department to reply for any reason, this king wants to be difficult for you with a few thousand eight hundred taels of silver, compared to the food in the house is nothing, not to mention that the king did not declare in advance, really go to the criminal department to drink tea, to hand over more than the silver owed to the household department, do you all understand, it is better to choose the day than to hit the day, just from today, this king has always been true to his words and hopes that you will remember. ”

The courtiers couldn't laugh and cried, how could there be such a thing, didn't this cost human life, I thought that I could not pay back the money from the treasury, everyone did this, the old yellow calendar, why did I have such a freak as the winged king, I would rather offend everyone and recover the silver lent out, the bitterness in the courtier's heart, oh, it is more uncomfortable than eating bile, the winged king seems to be iron-hearted to do against the hundred officials, and can't help but estimate how much silver he owes to the household, not good, a fright, this IOU will not be counted from the time of the emperor's accession to the throne! That's a lot of silver, doesn't this want the blood of their old ministers!

"Fill your pockets." Underneath Mu Jinming's calm voice was An Tao's surging anger, "As a courtier, I have the face to say that my sleeves are clean and clean, and the purse on my waist in my sleeves carries a country's money and food, I am very disappointed with you!" ”

The courtier's heart tightened, his scalp was numb, and he couldn't bear to listen to the emperor's next words, and secretly hated that the Wing King would pick on the most taboo thing for the superiors, how could this be good?

The courtiers don't want to think about who made them self-righteous, and attacked the Wing King first, and it was normal to be counterattacked, but how could there be a crooked reason that only the governor was allowed to set fire to the people and not allow the people to light the lamps, and how could they do such a bad thing, who to blame, they can only blame themselves.

"The emperor forgives the sins." The courtiers knelt down and pleaded guilty, lest the emperor be angry and throw everyone to the criminal department to drink tea, the emperor's mind sometimes roughly guessed one or two, and the new emperor was really a black eye, who knows what the new emperor's temper is, and no one has the courage to test it, so he admits his mistake early, and has a good attitude to admit his mistakes, maybe the emperor will be able to fall lightly.

"That's it, it's still useless to keep it." Mu Jinming made a relative concession, and threw out a thunderbolt at the moment when the ministers thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, "Just do what the Wing King says." "Bullying him young, okay, there is a Xi Dynasty in charge, who has to be cheap will wait and see.

The ministers stuck in their throats in one breath, let out a short grunt, and the taste of not going up and down was so blue and red that they couldn't go up and down, and they couldn't lose their manners in front of the palace, and they had no choice but to swallow it desperately, and they had to pay attention to whether the downward airflow could be trapped in the body, and they were afraid that they would not be able to hold back a loud and smelly fart when they arrived, and this face would be more embarrassing and embarrassing.

"One last thing." Xi Dynasty opened his mouth at this time, "The position of the household is vacant, this king intends to choose among all the officials in Beijing, you can recommend yourself, and those who are interested can go to the household yamen to register, this king has always been fair, the notice will be posted after the court, the deadline is three days, starting today." ”

The last thing the courtiers want to hear is the sharp words of fairness and justice, and they think that they despise the Wing King for pretending to be public and selfish, excluding dissidents, and slandering his injustice, and in the end it is indeed them who are the ones who set up their backs, how hateful it is.
