In Jinling City, Zhao Xing's study is full of all kinds of color pictures, which are the national flag patterns collected from the people at the suggestion of Jin Ling'er.

"I said."

Xiao Song raised his head and looked at the boss of the design institute who did this: "You didn't have a preliminary review before you submitted it?" What the hell is this? ”

It's no wonder that Zhao Xing is angry, the pattern here is beautiful, there are also it. But most of them are crooked, some are outrageously ugly but still full of confidence. What's more, he used a blank sheet of paper to copy a bunch of words from the mediocre university and handed them in, which was simply unsightly.

The man in charge lowered his head and was not very afraid, because the matter was done in a hurry, he did not think of this stubble at first, but when these pictures were spread out in the emperor's study, he regretted it. To put it bluntly, he has no experience, what kind of stuff is this, he has a headache as the director of the design institute, let alone the emperor.

"Alright, let's take it back first, and come back after sifting through it."

"Thank you for your generosity......"

After finishing speaking, he cleaned up the rags all over the ground and left in a hurry, and as soon as he left, Zhao Xing sat back in his position, looked at An Rui, the new secretary of Honglu Temple, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the negotiation outside?" ”

"Back to the official's house, that's true. I thought it was ...... It would have been better if the two angels could swap places. ”

"I don't care about that, they make their own decisions." Zhao Xuan opened the recital: "I heard that the small countries in the south have sent envoys to the Song Dynasty these days? And Ryukyu wants to call me the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"As the official said, the 14 countries of the southern Baiyue are all called the Song Dynasty, and the Ryukyus even sent people to submit their credentials to be called ministers."

"Reward." Zhao Xing's face was not shocked: "The matter of Ryukyu is to inform the world, to take advantage of the heavenly kingdom, and return the tribute with a hundred tributes." However, my things are not taken for nothing, and the ministers will give me the title of ministers in good faith, and after I go back, I will not talk about the king of the Ryukyus, so I will call it the Ryukyu Festival. I remember your nephew's name was Aragaki Wataru, right, and he was sent over as an observer. ”

The characteristics of Zhao Xing's deduction and search are destined that he will not mess around like those emperors who wave their hands when they are happy, and he will give a tribute and a hundred gifts in return. But he who can afford to give is to be given, but don't you want to be a vassal? Then carry it out to the end, cut into reality, don't have anything else that is not a king, just give a festival to make a dangdang, and also send an observation envoy abroad, if you are not honest, you will finish the work directly.

"Obey."

"Tomorrow, the Ministry of Rites will draft an edict, and that's it."

And at this moment, the little eunuch outside walked in, and after waiting for the Honglu Temple Siqing to walk out, he approached and said, "Official, the imperial doctor asks to see you." ”

"Call."

After a while, the Imperial Doctor walked in, first said the old rules, and then Zhao Xuan frowned: "Aiqing, I remember that you are seventy, right?" ”

The imperial doctor was stunned, and arched his hand: "Back to the official's house, the old minister is only fifty-nine ......."

"Oh, that's fine, I'm tired." Zhao Xuan stood up: "Something will happen tomorrow." ”

Zhao Xing's abnormality made the imperial doctor stunned on the spot, but he still said goodbye and walked out, and after walking out of the palace gate, he suddenly realized, but his heart was a little more trance.

After walking back to the Imperial Historical Observatory, his disciple saw that his expression was declining, so he went up and asked, "Teacher, what happened?" ”

The Imperial Doctor didn't say a word, just walked into the room and began to silently pack up his belongings.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Under the repeated questions of the disciple, he slowly spoke: "Tomorrow, I will tell the old man to return to the field, you can do it yourself." ”

"Huh? The teacher has not passed the sixtieth birthday, how can he ......"

He didn't explain, but after asking his disciples to help him arrange the objects, he sat there dejectedly, and wept bitterly on his back. The emperor's words will never be for no reason, Zhao Xing's sentence "Can Aiqing be seventy", the speaker must have a heart.

It's just a sentence to ask about age, but in fact, the words are driving people away, which is tantamount to saying "You are so old, why are you still relying on your position and refusing to leave".

After that, Zhao Xuan didn't let him speak, but just asked him to talk about it tomorrow, which is clearly to tell him, I don't want to listen to you, if there is anything to do at the court meeting tomorrow to ask for resignation.

According to reason, the emperor said this in private, he would resign from the emperor tomorrow, but he had to ask again and again, the emperor kept three times, and he resigned three times, and after the third time, the emperor no longer retained, but sighed and asked him if he had a suitable successor.

And if he supports someone, then that person will inevitably be degraded, this is the suppression of friends, being an official for a lifetime, and coming to an end...... But there was no good death.

Do you want to say that you know why you displease the emperor? He actually knew it in his heart, because since his own imperial platform was smashed, he had become cautious.

After the reform of the Yushitai, his power became greater, but he was even more inactive, resulting in several assessments wandering on the edge of the passing line, and the Xiangyang Sun was a relative of his maternal uncle's family.

Although they are far apart, they are relatives in the end, so Zhao Xuan still has scruples and does not turn his face on the spot.

That's it...... Somewhat reluctant.

Of course, Zhao Xing is not the kind of person who looks at the relationship, the main reason is that his assessment results are really not good-looking, this damn assessment has changed a group of people in the court, and now it is his turn after all.

Not wronged...... It's really unjust.

And in the evening, he also said goodbye to several old friends in the DPRK and China, and after learning what happened to him, several of them were speechless. At most, he bitterly expressed the ruthlessness of the assessment, and occasionally scolded a few words of Lao Ding's unkindness, but his colleagues for many years were ruthless.

Of course, is Lao Ding really to blame for this? Everyone has a ruler in their hearts. Well, since the rules have been formulated, someone has to be the target of Shi Wei, and now Yushitai has become this target.

"It's a good thing."

With tears in his eyes, the imperial historian drank the wine glass in his hand: "I, the imperial historian, exercise the responsibility of supervision, but I don't think that I, the imperial historian, will not be what I am." Rules are rules, I have nothing to say, alas......"

What can a couple of old brothers say? The only thing that can be done is to comfort lightly, then sigh softly, and quietly wait for the results of tomorrow.

Since the implementation of the new policy, there are still many people who rely on their old qualifications and deep background and do not take this seriously. didn't expect Zhao Xing, a stunned young man, to play a real game.

Whether it is the prince's family, the founding of the country, or the protégé of the humerus minister, as long as they are not qualified, they are cold, and the biggest official is this imperial doctor.

But in the end, it was the old minister, Zhao Xuan still saved a little face, and he didn't read the list directly at the court meeting like other people, the dismissal of the retired, the deprecating reprimand, the derogatory reprimand, the left-behind reprimand, and the distribution of the distribution, Zhao Xuan gave this old minister a eunuch and asked him to resign himself.

Everyone knows what it means, but it's somewhat dignified.

And after this retreat, Zhao Xing did not even let people recommend, but directly filled the vacancy from the group of people with the highest assessment scores, and the post of Imperial Doctor was promoted by the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and the Left Shilang of the Ministry of Officials was promoted by a Gyeonggi County Commander.

The rest of the posts were filled by their own vacancies, and the state apparatus continued to operate as usual.

The results of the first big assessment stunned everyone, they actually wanted to fight with Zhao Xing, but thinking about the terrible assessment system and the ruthless supervision mechanism, they suddenly dimmed.

Lao Ding didn't feel very comfortable, because if his eyes were lethal, he would die eight times in the court. But he was really happy in his heart, and the little guy's method was real...... It's really amazing.

For the first time, Lao Ding felt ashamed of himself, in the end, the world would eventually be this group of genius young people, when he proposed to put power in a cage, Lao Ding still scoffed, but after it was really implemented, as long as the wrist was hard enough, the whole court could be described as a new atmosphere.

Is there any infighting? There must have been, but now many people have to start working hard in order to keep their scores.

And Zhao Xuan is no longer without support, because there are laws to rely on and be organized to inquire, the great law of heaven and earth is the largest, even the emperor can rely on the law to straighten his waist, and it is useless for anyone to intercede!

On this point, the Legalists were ecstatic......

It's just that in the days that followed, Lao Ding felt that his life would not be easy, because everyone in the world knew that this matter was a new deal made by Lao Ding, and no one would have thought that it was Song Beiyun, who was fighting outside, that was the initiator of this incident.

But what is this to Lao Ding, if a minister can influence future generations with such a decree, then even if he dies, it can be said to be righteous, when Shang Ying changed the law to strengthen Qin for a hundred years, and now it is not a big problem to say that it is not a hundred years and thirty or fifty years, and the next thing is to be solved by the talented teenagers.

Lao Ding didn't care about these things in the court, and the thing that made Lao Ding feel sad was that his youngest daughter was just fourteen, and she was addicted to the obscene words written by Song Beiyun all day long, and she always wanted to take Song Beiyun home for dinner, so that she could see and understand.

How can that work...... Although that person is indeed talented, his character does not dare to compliment.

"Lord Ding, it's so majestic. Now the court is calling for wind and rain. ”

After the next dynasty, the prince and master Pang Ji came from behind, and beside him was his loyal root Xia Zhu, these two people were called the two traitors of the court, and they were disliked by the ministers.

Lao Ding glanced up at him: "What are you, dare to talk to me." ”

After speaking, he left without looking back, and Pang Ji stood in place with anger, his face darkened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he looked at it with a cruel smile: "The surname is Ding, your good life will not last long." ”

And as he was talking, the down-and-out Imperial Doctor beside him slowly walked out, he glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly became cold: "My lord, please stay." ”
