Chapter 428: The Storm Rises

Seeing Hou Junji, he is going to be dismissed?

That's too much of a joke, isn't it? Not to mention all of the people present, at least more than half of them have seen him.

It was not when he returned to Chang'an, but he went to Dali Temple to see him later, and Hou Junji also said some complaining words indignantly at that time, but everyone didn't take it seriously.

Look at him, it's just out of those previous feelings, that's all.

But then, everyone reacted.

Li Yuanji is not a stingy person, Hou Junji violated military discipline and slapped the emperor in the face, even if it is disposed of, it is impossible not to let people see him.

Besides, Fang Xuanling's achievements are high and hard-working, and it will not be like this when he sees the previous face.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling must have interceded with Hou Junji in front of the emperor, otherwise, the emperor would not have moved Fang Xuanling.

It's just that......

Although everyone thinks that Cheng Zhijie is quite second, but at this time, everyone has to sigh that these two goods are right.

originally thought that death was Cheng Zhijie's specialty, but he didn't expect Fang Xuanling to be able to perform death so perfectly.

Hou Junji......

That's Hou Junji!

Who is Hou Junji?

That is the guy who dared to openly disobey the military order and lead the Tang army of General Ji Yanming into a bandit, although it did not cause a worse impact.

But since the professionalization of the Tang Army, what is the emperor's expectation of the Tang Army? Do you need to say more about this?

The division of civil and military affairs, these bigwigs who used to hold military and political power, can only choose one of them now, and dare not touch the other level.

Even in the cabinet meeting, many questions are point-to-point, or some ideas are put forward in a whimsical way, and no one dares to extend that hand.

Even the imperial court, a place where it has no access to the real power of the army, is so taboo for the army.

Hou Junji, the deputy general who held military power, was stunned to lead the Tang army built by the imperial court.

To be honest, Hou Junji has been able to live until now and has not implicated his family, everyone has already felt quite surprised, not to mention interceding for him, even to see him, in fact, it is also a big risk.

"Okay, let's disperse, what should I do, what should I do......" got the answer, Cheng Zhijie dispersed everyone with admiration.

Although this gesture is very annoying, I can't wait to go up and give him two feet.

But it's a pity that not many people can beat him, and Wei Chi Jingde, who can really beat him, is now at the gate of Taiji Palace.

Commander of the Forbidden Army, tsk......

At this point, the problem is basically the end.

Everyone understands in their hearts that there will be no follow-up to this matter, if His Majesty does not remember the old feelings, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as just dismissing the official secretary.

At the same time, everyone who got the answer also reminded themselves in their hearts.

In the future, don't plead for others at every turn, especially this kind of thing that touches the bottom line.

If Hou Junji committed something else, then everyone would beg for mercy even if they were in danger, but he wanted to bring chaos to the army.

Once His Majesty agrees, what should the other generals think? Will the military discipline of the Tang Army be there in the future? And what to deter those soldiers?

Intercession is a small problem, but it is a big deal.

……

After everyone left, Huangfu Wuyi didn't go so fast.

took two steps slower, boarded Ma Zhou, who was also unhurried, and said in a low voice: "How can you say that Fang Xiang would make such a mistake?" Doesn't he know what Hou Junji has done? ”

"The relationship between Fang Xiang and Hou Junji is not so good, even Zhang Liang didn't stand up to intercede for him, how could Fang Xiang do such a foolish thing?" Ma Zhou shook his head slowly, but he was not nervous about this.

When he was in Zhenbei, Ma Zhou followed Li Yuanji to understand and analyze many important ministers of the imperial court at that time, including their past and character, habits and means of doing things.

Fang Xuanling is not a person like Cheng Zhijie who is wise and foolish, and hides wisdom.

He is the kind of person who has great ambitions, but knows how to forbear, and always exposes his weaknesses to everyone.

To put it bluntly, if you want to use this kind of person, you must put a complementary talent around him, and that's how Fang Mou Du came about.

Isn't it okay to take two people apart and use them? Of course not, take it apart and use it, those are two supreme geniuses.

How could a person with such great wisdom fail to see the problem so serious?

"Are you saying that he deliberately learned from Cheng Zhijie?" Huangfu Wuyi was stunned, but he couldn't figure it out.

"I don't rule it out, but in my opinion, he doesn't have to do it at all." Ma Zhou nodded, also unable to figure it out.

"Yes, Fang Xiang is responsible for civil officials, which is fundamentally different from those military generals, and Fang Xiang's matter is either to hold a cabinet discussion, or to report to His Majesty, everything has never been his own decision, let alone a decisive approach, he really doesn't have to make trouble for himself like Cheng Zhijie to protect himself." The place that Huangfu Wuyi couldn't figure out was here.

If Fang Xuanling is the kind of person who expresses himself too positively, then it is understandable to do so.

After all, this kind of person will have ambitions after a long time, and in order to dispel the emperor's suspicions, he can only use some other methods to save himself.

Although Fang Xuanling's performance was perfect, the core of the problem was also very clear, never easily, never arbitrarily made a certain decision.

Don't say that the old trouble superiors will give people a feeling of incompetence, in fact, the superiors actually like their subordinates to trouble themselves, but it is not the kind of nonsensical trouble, the trouble that should be troublesome, the trouble that should not be troublesome is not troublesome, can do this, it will definitely be a subordinate that the superior likes, a subordinate with a promising future.

"Don't worry about that, you and I just need to remember our identities and never forget our original intentions, these things can't fall on us for the time being." Ma Zhou shook his head lightly and said.

Although Huangfu Wuyi is a little older, he still attaches great importance to Ma Zhou on these issues.

After all, Ma Zhou has been with the emperor for a longer time, and some things are better understood than him.

Indeed, as the emperor's henchmen, they have a lot to do, and there are not many things to worry about.

As long as you keep in mind two points, you are the emperor's person, and you have to earn face for the emperor.

……

Regarding Fang Xuanling's dismissal, although the turmoil in the cabinet has passed, in the ministries and ministries, this turmoil has just begun.

But this is a high-level matter after all, and no matter how much the people below discuss it, it can only scare and discuss, and it will not affect anything.

After the cabinet meeting, Fang Xuanling cleaned up in the ministry, and then gathered the officials of the ministry, announcing his resignation and who would succeed him.

I didn't say much else, and I didn't show much nostalgia for the place where I had been in the Ministry for a few years, but directly took a few subordinates from Zhongshu Province and left here with my own things, and next, he will sit in Zhongshu Province.

Maybe it was as agreed, Fang Xuanling had just left with his front foot, and Xiao Yu followed him into the ministry.

Although the official appointment has not yet come down, there is no problem in bringing forward the proposals that have been passed by the cabinet meeting, and Fang Xuanling has already left here.

After entering the ministry, under the introduction of the two servants, I met with the officials here one by one, and I became a little familiar with it.

The imaginary storm did not come, and after the meeting, Xiao Yu asked the officials to disperse and do their own things.

As for himself, he asked people to transfer the work log of the ministry in the past year, and he took it seriously and carefully read it from the beginning.

In the next month, every morning, noon and evening, Xiao Yu would go to Shangshu Province to deal with some necessary official problems, and if there was an emergency, there would also be officials from Shangshu Province who would go to the Ministry of Officials with documents to solve it.

All other time, Xiao Yu will stay in the ministry.

Except for necessary things, he rarely walked around the ministry, and he did not call meetings of officials from various departments at every turn.

Even the regular meeting was presided over by two waiters.

The days were too leisurely, and the emperor just said a word, and Xiao Yu's life completely changed.

Nowadays, Xiao Yu, who never works overtime, has to work overtime with many colleagues, but people work overtime to deal with official business, and he works overtime to read information.

Personal information of officials, work logs, etc.

Just when everyone thought that this matter was over, Xiao Yu, who was new and had a 'not good' reputation in the officialdom, did not plan to make a big move, nor did he plan to take office as a new official.

Xiao Yu unexpectedly lit the first fire a month after taking office.

What is the biggest change after the reform of the imperial court?

Officials are no longer iron rice bowls, and as long as they lack ability, they have the possibility of being dismissed.

Now is not the afterlife, there are not so many rules and regulations in ancient times, although it is not easy to remove an official, the process that needs to be gone through is also very complicated, first the head of the department needs to write a report, and then the person who raised it writes a report, and submits it to the official department to review and sign, and write his own opinions, observations, after going through these, after submitting it to the emperor, if the emperor also signs to agree, then you can only say goodbye.

Goodbye is not internal retirement, at this time there is no retirement so much, let alone buying out the length of service and the like, it is really not a penny of compensation, just leave.

Of course, although the process is there, after the restructuring, there is no one who has really been cleared away, and in the end all of them were beaten back by the emperor, but none of these people stayed in the original department, and they were all transferred to other places, which was reluctantly given food, if the performance is still like this, then it can only be goodbye.

Xiao Yu directly carried out a small range of work adjustments internally, and transferred some unsatisfactory people who thought they had the ability to more important positions, and said that those who he thought were not good in strength, or had obvious defects, were transferred to other positions, although they were not discharged, but everyone understood that those who were transferred, if they were still like this, I am afraid that they would be really unlucky this time.
