Zhao Yunsheng is not qualified to speak now, and Meng Zhaoxiang is even less sufficient, and in the end, both of them glanced at Zhou Haotian.

Zhou Haotian had to raise his hand, pondering for a moment before saying: "My lord, I want to know why the officials are targeting us so much this time, even if there are some small disputes, they will not deal with it so harshly, and they will not be merciless......

Zhou Yingqiu put down the teacup and said, "I decided to release you this time." ”

The three of them were all slightly shocked, they never expected that the culprit behind the scenes was Zhou Yingqiu!

Zhou Haotian looked at Zhou Yingqiu, and continued to raise his hand and said, "Please also ask your Excellency to solve your doubts." ”

Zhou Yingqiu looked at the three of them lightly and said: "There are five reasons: first, the emperor intends to adjust the court situation, according to the plan, I will leave Beijing next year." Second, you are inexperienced and inexperienced. Third, the criticism of the government and the opposition is too great, and the official wants a bowl of water to be level. Fourth, there are more and more students graduating from the Political Yuan, and the imperial court must streamline its administration. Fifth, this was planned a long time ago and acquiesced to the emperor. ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard Zhou Yingqiu say five reasons in one breath.

There were too many things in Zhou Yingqiu's words, and they couldn't completely sort them out for a while.

Chapter 830 Amnesty

Zhou Haotian and Meng Zhaoxiang had already heard the taste, and Zhou Yingqiu was clearly ordering them.

After a while, Meng Zhaoxiang raised his hand and said, "My lord, the imperial court intends to temper us, but there is no need to sweep it away with such fanfare, aren't you afraid of hurting the hearts of hundreds of people for the country?" ”

Zhou Yingqiu glanced at Meng Zhaoxiang and did not answer.

The reason for this is because the Royal House was established too late, and if it had been five years earlier, there would have been no need to be in such a hurry. The high-level structure of the "New Deal" has basically been completed after a year, and the next step is to push it downward. The prefectural and county levels are the most stubborn, and they can't completely count on pressure from the top down, so these students in the government are the most suitable. They are flooded in the corners and corners of the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, which is bound to make the "New Deal" twice the result with half the effort and greatly accelerated.

These words can't be said to these people yet, they are too young, they are easy to be impulsive, and if they say too much, they will cause trouble again.

After a little hesitation, Zhou Yingqiu said: "What I said to you today, not a word can be leaked out, after going back, be prepared, you must remember that the law and discipline of the court cannot be provoked, especially the article of friends, you must remember, you must not be contaminated in the slightest, otherwise the official will not be able to protect you!" ”

Zhou Haotian and the three of them could see that Zhou Yingqiu had nothing to say, but they also got what they wanted-the Ministry of Officials, and the court had no intention of suppressing them.

Several people glanced at each other, raised their hands and said, "Thank you Lord Zhou for your advice, the official will retire." ”

Zhou Yingqiu nodded indifferently and watched the three of them leave.

These three people are all people who are favored by the emperor, and the younger generation they focus on cultivating, Zhou Yingqiu also gave a little bit of thin noodles and formed a little good fate.

"It's up to you how far you can go." Zhou Yingqiu muttered indifferently.

When the three of them left the Zhou Mansion, it was already dark, and they went down and drowned half of their calves, but the heavy snow still did not stop, falling densely.

Meng Zhaoxiang wrapped his clothes and said as he walked: "You say, how credible is Lord Zhou's words?" ”

Everyone is not a child, and they will not really believe Zhou Yingqiu's words completely because of his seeming heart-to-heart, but it is the first time they meet, and everyone understands the truth of the words.

Zhao Yunsheng thought for a while and said, "The words should be true, but he only said half of what he said at most, and he hid a lot." ”

Zhou Haotian also nodded, and said: "After all, the Royal Political Yuan was established by the emperor's will, and it was managed by the household department and the ministry of officials before, and this 'rotation' was personally handled by Zhou Shangshu, there must be other purposes, but we won't be able to guess it for a while." ”

"What puzzles me the most is Bi Ge Lao's attitude." Meng Zhaoxiang looked up at the front, the heavy snow closed the road, as if there was no end, the cold wind was howling, the cold wind was biting, gritted his teeth and said: "He is the president of the Political Yuan, no matter what the purpose, we should be maintained, but he has not done anything, and he has deliberately suppressed us......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yunsheng also said against the cold wind: "Bi Ge is 'fair', and justice is a bit too much......

Zhou Haotian thought about it, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said: "My uncle will come to Beijing at the end of the month, and I will find a way to find out the wind when the time comes." ”

Zhao Yunsheng and Meng Zhaoxiang all looked at Zhou Haotian in surprise, he wouldn't have done this before.

Zhou Haotian said: "I also feel that something is wrong this time, so I should ask, otherwise I will not feel at ease." ”

Zhao Yunsheng and Meng Zhaoxiang nodded heavily, and Zhou Yingqiu came in, and things became a little weird.

In the cabinet, Wang Qiaonian told the three elders about the matter, and waited for their statement.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, and King Jing also looked at each other. At the time of the reform, this matter was ignored.

The grade of Dali Temple is indeed too low, and it is okay to deal with general cases, involving the emperor's relatives and relatives, and even saying that more than three products, even if Dali Temple has a cabinet edict, the emperor's will is a little unreasonable, after all, it is not a triage of three divisions.

Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time and did not speak.

The three divisions refer to the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Criminal Department is now in charge of criminal cases and cannot participate in the trial, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been abolished, and the Supervision Yuan only has the "responsibility of supervision" and has no power to try cases, so two of the three divisions no longer exist.

How should a case involving a higher level be handled?

Sun Chengzong looked at Bi Ziyan's expression, turned his gaze to King Jing, and said, "What does the prince think?" ”

King Jing was also a participant in the design of the "New Deal", and he had been thinking about it in his heart, listening to Sun Chengzong's question, and said: "This matter should be decided by the cabinet and sent to the emperor for approval." ”

"What kind of case?" Bi Ziyan's eyes moved slightly.

King Jing paused for a moment and said, "I have a few thoughts in my heart, and I will say them for everyone's reference." First, when the royal family is involved, there should be a royal family in charge of the trial. When it comes to high-ranking officials, such as those of the third grade or above, there must be a cabinet to judge and judge. If you are a person in the army, you should set up a special Dali Temple, and you can't generalize. ”

Bi Ziyan looked at King Jing and nodded slightly, and said, "The prince's words are reasonable, so how should the current case be handled?" ”

King Jing looked at Bi Ziyan and knew that he intended to take the school exam, so he said directly: "The royal family should be selected by the emperor." "King Jing knows very well in his heart that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the clan, and there may be very few of them.

Bi Ziyan's expression did not move, his eyes looked at Wang Qiaonian, and said, "What do you think should be done about your Dali Temple?" ”

Wang Qiaonian has only been in office for a few days, and the government affairs have not been sorted out clearly, listening to Bi Ziyan's question, he carefully considered and said: "What does the lower official mean, can you improve the grade of Dali Temple?" ”

Bi Ziyan immediately smiled and said, "You have just been promoted from the fourth grade to the third grade, how do you want to mention it?" ”

The grade of the yamen is the same as that of the officials, and a first-rank official cannot be expected to manage a third-grade yamen, let alone a third-grade official to lead a first-grade yamen.

Wang Qiaonian's expression was a little stiff, and he said, "The lower official is reckless." In fact, the idea in his heart was that to improve the grade of Dali Temple, he could send other officials, not that he would be promoted again.

Bi Ziyan ignored Wang Qiaonian, and thought about it: "This case is not important now, everyone has been released on bail, wait a few days, I will discuss with the emperor again and issue a specific charter." ”

"Yes." Wang Qiaonian said. That's really the only way to do it.

Bi Ziyan sent Wang Qiaonian away, although it was already dark, he had no intention of getting off work, and continued to be busy.

There are already a lot of things to do when the end of the year is approaching, and there is no leader in the officials, so they have more things to worry about.

Sun Chengzong has been planning to reform the Ming military system again, and he is almost white-headed, and he doesn't have the heart to leave the palace early.

King Jing now shares a part of the cabinet affairs, and he is even more busy with his feet on the ground, and he can't do without it, and the three of them are in their respective class rooms, lighting lamps, and preparing to stay up all night.

Zhu Xu didn't leave the imperial study, and the notebooks looked too boring, boring, almost mechanical.

He finally understood why there was such a thing as the celebrant and the celebrant criticizing red, and after seeing too much, he would really vomit!

Coupled with the fact that it was extremely cold today, even if there was a stove, it was uncomfortable, Zhu Xu drank a cup of tea, and was about to finish today's work, when he was stunned again, and looked at the last recital.

This is the right general administration of the general government, Wu Youwei's recital, Yang Lian's role in the "palace transfer case" is a big book, and he also said that he has "the merit of the dragon", and he is also the emperor's teacher, sprinkled nearly a thousand words, and finally pointed out the gist: ask for amnesty for Yang Lian.

Zhu Xu didn't care that Wu Youwei was making trouble behind his back, and he didn't care that he mentioned the Donglin Party, a taboo word in officialdom, but he was particularly interested in the word "amnesty".
