"This official assessment... The prince and Xing Jun are not here, I don't know, what advice do you have? ”

The Son of Heaven frowned, looked at the ministers and asked.

Towards the end of the year, the Son of Heaven finally held a court meeting, and the ministers thought it was Xing Ziang's business, and hurried over, full of questions, they wanted to know what Xing Ziang was doing in the north and what he wanted to do, but what they didn't expect was that the Son of Heaven called them in such a hurry, and the result was just for the assessment.

No, when Xing Ziang and Wang Fu were competing for the position of chief official, the Son of Heaven ordered Cai Yong to be the leader and the prince to supervise, why did he ask us again today?

Could it be that the prince fell out of favor? The ministers remembered in their hearts the rumor that everyone heard in the sun, and several months had passed since the rumor, and the embroidered messenger had also arrested a large number of officials and scholars who had privately discussed this matter, but this rumor not only did not disappear, but it was a little boiling, and it has become a secret that everyone knows.

What's more, the Son of Heaven has never personally come forward to explain to the ministers, many ministers who are worried about the prince in their hearts suddenly feel that this is a good opportunity to find out the mind of the Son of Heaven from the side, if the Son of Heaven is interested in replacing the prince, it would be great, as long as it is not the crown prince who governs the ram, it will be a great blessing for the world.

For the Son of Heaven who ruled the ram, these ministers, especially those old ministers left behind during the period of the first emperor, were extremely complaining, but they did not dare to show it, because they all knew the strength of the Son of Heaven, they did not dare to provoke, if it was in the period of the first emperor, they would not be like this, I think back then, when Emperor Xiaohuan was in power, they were not like this.

Although Emperor Xiaohuan opened the party, but he would not ask for their lives without saying a word, even if they were imprisoned by the party, they also occupied the moral upper hand, and their prestige skyrocketed, when the party began, many ministers were playing, and they were proud to be guilty of becoming party members, but when today's son, without saying a word, the head fell to the ground, because of the high prestige, these ministers of their own time, were executed and did not get any reputation, but to leave a stench for 10,000 years.

Moreover, the Son of Heaven who governs the ram does not look at their qualifications at all, they are all old ministers, the Son of Heaven does not reuse them as virtuous sages, but what kind of Wang Fu, traitors like Yang Qiu bully their heads, and Xing Ziang, Xun You and other young scholars also surpass them, the Son of Heaven employs people, never looks at moral exercises, nor looks at appearance, as long as there is talent.

Such a Son of Heaven, even if it seems to be a prosperous world now, will definitely cause big trouble in the future, the country is not a country, in the past, they did not dare to participate in the prince's affairs, but now, the Son of Heaven intends to act like this, adding fuel to the fire, they still dare to do, it is best to let the ram rule the world stay in this life, and do not let future generations suffer from its troubles.

With this in mind, the atmosphere of the whole temple gradually became a little strange.

Cai Yong was stunned for a long time, but he remembered that just the day before yesterday, the Son of Heaven summoned him into the palace, held his hand, and told himself that he wanted to be in charge of the assessment, and he wanted to take care of the prince and the like.

He stepped forward helplessly and bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, this matter... Isn't it a minister, but a prince to supervise it? ”

The hundred officials stared at him completely, their eyes were eager, just waiting for your words, so as to see the mind of the Son of Heaven, after hearing Cai Yong's words, they found that the face of the Son of Heaven was a little hesitant, this hesitation undoubtedly made them happy, does this not mean that the Son of Heaven has changed his mind?

I saw that the Son of Heaven hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Cai Gong, I see that you are extremely tired today, how about this matter if it is still handed over to others?" ”

The Son of Heaven did not mention the matter of the prince, but just wanted to revoke the previous decision, and the hundred officials were overjoyed, who is Cai Yong? The prince's wife, father, if the Son of Heaven even refuses to use Cai Yong....

Cai Yong was even more puzzled, frowning, this stubborn old man's temper also came up, and he said with some displeasure: "Your Majesty, before, Your Majesty had ordered the ministers to prepare for it, not that the ministers coveted this position, but the ministers had already set a rough plan, if Your Majesty replaced others, the assessment here would only take a few days, but it could still be complete?" Changing generals in wartime is a taboo for soldiers, and it is not good to govern the country? ”

"Cai Gong, the matter of scientific research, there was a general plan in previous years, why is it incomplete to say, for the country, it is the top priority, if Your Majesty is interested, why do you have to say more?" Immediately, some ministers stood up and retorted, and in their words, it seemed that they were all in support of the Son of Heaven, but what they really thought in their hearts was unknown.

The Son of Heaven glanced at him deeply, nodded, and agreed, this move made more people come out and began to refute Cai Gong's words, however, Cai Yong was stubborn by nature, and he was not afraid of them as many as they were, so he had no intention of retreating, and sharply accused: "In the past, there was a precedent for the assessment, but what was the result?" Corruption is rampant, cruelty is ongoing! Mo Fei and the others still want to do today's things with the strategy of the past? ”

"Didn't Cai Gongmo think that among the hundreds of officials, except for the public, no one could think of a cure for bad diseases? The public knows that there are many good doctors! ”

"Wait for quack doctors!"

"Who can discuss with the old man, the new law?"

"Who can propose the method of improvement at this time?"

"The dog barks endlessly, and there is no pen and ink in the chest, are you not ashamed?"

Cai Yong couldn't hold back anymore, and scolded this group of ministers, more and more people participated in the battle, even Jia Xu and Xun You also moved, standing behind Cai Yong, the Son of Heaven carefully observed these officials, and remembered them one by one, at this time, Cai Yong has not stopped his abuse, this gentleman who has always been humble and polite, really broke out at this moment.

showed the ministers that the power of Confucianism, Confucianism is not necessarily the kind that draws swords and cuts people, there is also a kind of Confucianism, as soon as you open your mouth, you can't refute it, you are red-faced, overwhelmed, gritted your teeth and endured, seeing such a rare situation, the Son of Heaven did not interrupt Cai Yong, until Cai Yong scolded each of them, and the Son of Heaven waved his hand.

"Gong Cai, this matter will be done as before... Don't be angry, don't be angry..."

Hearing the Son of Heaven say this, Cai Yong calmed down his anger and gradually calmed down.

"Your Majesty, as a monarch, when you say your word..."Cai Yong just said calmly, and then returned to his position.

The Son of Heaven shook his head, smiled, and did not reply, the court discussion ended like this, and returned to the mansion, the little fat man was waiting for the Son of Heaven a little anxiously, and when he saw his father walk in, the little fat man walked up with a smile, and when the Son of Heaven sat down, he sat next to the Son of Heaven and asked, "Father, how is it?" ”

"How?"

"The matter of the court?"

"Hmm... OK... They still couldn't hold back after all..."

"Father, what are you waiting for? Arrest them and put them to death! The little fat man said with some eagerness.

The Son of Heaven lowered his head and looked at the little fat man, but he didn't pay attention to him, he left the little fat man a lot of talents that could be reused, and he could establish virtue by appointing these people, but the Son of Heaven could not just be virtuous, but also had to be virtuous, among these guys, those who were in danger to the debate had to be dealt with in advance, and the rest had to be left to the argument to be used by the debate...
