The father and son talked for a long time, and in the impression of the dog, it seemed to be the longest time, he listened carefully to every word of his father, pondered carefully, and gradually, he finally felt that he was beginning to understand his father.

It's a shame to say that for so many years, he hasn't really known his father, including Wen Yanbo, what he sees is too superficial.

Wang Ningan is neither an idealist nor a realist, he believes in activism...... To be more precise, Wang Ningan has the rigorous character and pragmatic style of an engineer.

It can be seen from the trajectory he has traveled all the way.

At the beginning, the civil official family was dominant, the traditional scholars controlled the imperial court, and the national politics became more and more conservative...... Wang Ningan decisively sided with the martial arts, united the imperial power, and defeated the traditional gentry group.

Wang Ningan is not ignorant of the terrible consequences of the growth of martial artists, the growth of imperial power, and the growth of golden power...... But in order to get rid of the main enemy, it is necessary to unite all forces worthy of unity.

When the old forces collapsed and the situation was chaotic, Wang Ningan launched a political meeting to protect the results of the reform...... And with the collusion between the council and local forces, when it became more and more sour, Wang Ningan once again vigorously suppressed corruption and slashed at these people again.

"Dad, I don't think you've ever tied yourself to any group...... They all seem to be toys in your hands, Daddy! "The dog's eyes are shining, and he is extremely adoring, and he has become a little fan.

"Daddy! You're amazing! ”

Dogtooth was sincerely admired, and danced excitedly, as if he was about to take out a pen and paper and ask for an autograph in the next second.

Wang Ningan smiled, "You kid should forget it, this time is the one your father is the most unsure...... Looking around the court, it is true that no one can oppose your father, but it is precisely because you can't find a specific enemy that it becomes more dangerous. ”

Wang Ning paused, "I asked your second brother to go to Ceylon Island, I estimate that if someone causes trouble, they will start with Tianzhu." ”

In the past, Dogtooth might have doubted, but now he can only think about it.

Gradually, the dog tooth also understood.

The so-called thousand-mile embankment was destroyed in the anthill, the Great Song Dynasty is so big, where is the best place to start?

Not locally, Wang Ning'an's strength is huge, and after the division of the land, the people's prestige is lofty, and the foundation is solid, of course, there is no way to start...... Among the overseas colonies, Tianzhu was the last to be taken, the farthest away from the Great Song Dynasty, the weakest control ability, coupled with a large population, strong civil potential, if you want to pull the flag and rebel, that is the easiest!

"Dad, I understand, I'm going to Tianzhu, if anyone wants to make trouble from Tianzhu, I will definitely let them taste the bitterness!"

"Don't be busy!"

Wang Ningan smiled, "Although Tianzhu is the easiest place to make trouble, it has the lowest chance of success. ”

"This ...... Why is that? ”

"You've been in Tianzhu for so long, haven't you understood it? The Tianzhu people believe in reincarnation, seeking the next life rather than this life, and they are divided with each other, and they are not a country at all...... You see, if Tianzhu ignites a beacon fire, it won't take much strength to settle it. ”

If it's so easy, why bother?

Dogtooth felt that it was too difficult to keep up with her father's train of thought.

He thought about it for a long time before he said slowly: "Dad, are you digging a trap?" Wang Ning'an smiled indifferently and said: "Let's just forget it, I only have a little idea, and I don't know if I can use it...... In short, you go and keep an eye on me, and if there is anything going on, you must tell me as soon as possible...... By the way, if we talk about it, don't talk to your second brother. ”

"Why?" Gouya'er exclaimed, "Dad, you don't suspect that the second brother is colluding with others, right?" ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Ning'an glared at him, "You all have different tasks, and if you want to talk nonsense, I will throw you further overseas and let you live with the indigenous monkeys!" ”

"Don't, don't, I can't do it if I don't ask!"

Dog Ya'er finally became well-behaved, he honestly agreed, and went down to prepare...... Wang Ningan looked at his son's back and shook his head, even if it is a father and son, some words can't be picked out, Wang Ningan has too many aspects to rectify, and next, the army is a very important part of it.

The son is the head of the royal officer corps, and he has a close relationship with the emperor, if he is rectified to the military, the son will be difficult to behave.

And Zhao Shu has also recovered, leaving dog teeth by his side will inevitably make the emperor have some other thoughts, even if the emperor doesn't have it, can the officer corps not have it?

So, it's better to eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible!

The king of Qin sent his son overseas, and the news was even more terrible than the fall of Chen Shengzhi.

Even the most sluggish person knows that this is for real!

No more luck!

Really!

On the fifth day of the distribution of dog teeth, the results of the investigation into the murder of Zhao Shu were announced.

Zhao Shijiang, the king of Hami, colluded with Feng Jing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to try to assassinate the emperor, which is heinous and unforgivable!

As the first offender, both were sentenced to death!

The family members all flowed into Oceania and were never allowed to return to the Great Song Dynasty.

There are no less than 50 officials involved in this case, and all those who should be executed will be executed, and those who should be assigned will be distributed immediately. Without the slightest hesitation, the efficiency of the imperial court was amazing.

The case is over, and the purge has begun to bear fruit, will the prince stop?

Is it going to rain and the sky is clear?

The big guys are looking forward to it!

Hurry up and settle down!

But a thunderbolt on a sunny day stunned everyone.

Zeng Gong was deposed!

When this news came out, it was ten times more powerful than the dog's teeth being assigned!

After all, Gouyaer is a young man, and his actions are just a bad perception, rushing overseas, experiencing some days, receiving some punishments, and suffering a little, and there will be an explanation.

Zeng Gong is different!

He is a core member of the Six Arts, second only to Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dian, Zeng Bu, and Su Zhe!

and Wang Ningan are not only friends, but also teachers and students.

Since the second year of Jiayou, Zeng Gong has been conscientious, honest and diligent, he has worked in the Imperial History Tower, the Hanlin Academy, and the Ministry of Rites, and later was responsible for repairing the history and repairing the living note...... Everything was done beautifully, without the slightest mistake.

No matter how you look at it, Zeng Gong is the perfect follower.

Such talents used to be scrambled for reuse, how could Wang Ningan depose Zeng Gong, isn't this nonsense?

"We're not convinced!"

Many young officials, even the original Six Arts and One Department, took the initiative to stand up and want to give Zeng Gongming grievances.

They even found Zeng Bu, "Zeng Xianggong, Mr. Nanfeng is your brother, he was deposed for no reason, you should have an attitude!" ”

"Yes, you have to go and tell King Qin, no matter who you depose, you can't depose Mr. Nanfeng, such a great talent can't be reused, that's the prime minister's fault!"

……

The big guy was angry, Zeng Bu looked strange, he coughed twice, and at this moment, someone floated in from outside.

It was Zeng Gong who came.

He is dressed in a Confucian shirt, fluttering and sprinkled, and he has an unconcealable bookish atmosphere, he is simply a fairy-like character, the world is brilliant, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and with the favor of God, he may not be able to produce one in hundreds of years.

How can you be dismissed from office if you are so flawless?

"Mr. Nan Fung!"

"Brother Zigu!"

They were gossiping, Zeng Gong just smiled and listened, and finally he bowed deeply.

"The princes love me, and the servants are deeply grateful, but you don't have to complain about me, let alone complain about King Qin, he is right to do this!"

"Right? What's right? We don't believe it! ”

Someone even asked directly: "Brother Zigu, is someone trying to frame you, if you say it, the prince will find out." ”

"No, no, no!"

Zeng Gong waved his hand again and again, and he pointed to his gray sideburns, "Look, I'm not young anymore!" ”

In a word, everyone was taken aback.

"Mr. Nanfeng, you are old and strong, and you are not sick, what are you afraid of?"

"No!"

Zeng Gong said earnestly: "Three months ago, the servant passed his 60th birthday, the year of the sixtieth birthday, and he had already teased his grandson on ordinary people. But the servant still has to work day and night, constantly repairing books, and staying up all his heart...... I'm old, my physical strength is not good, and I'm not as fast as others in repairing books, so if I still occupy the position of the National History Museum, what will others do? How can young people get ahead? ”

Zeng Gong's series of rhetorical questions made everyone fall silent.

At this time, Zeng Bu stood up, and he walked over.

"Master called us all to this matter, and after some research, we felt that officials should have an upper age limit, beyond the age, they must go down, and they can't stay in their positions, and the corpses are vegetarian, blocking the way of young people."

As soon as these words came out, everyone really thought about it, and someone asked: "Zeng Xianggong, how is this upper limit set?" ”

Zeng preached: "The first level of the ruler, the age is limited to 65 years old, the six ministries and nine secretaries, the provincial level affairs, the economic and strategic pacification envoys in charge of military affairs, and the political envoys, with a limit of 60, the government, state, army, and county are 55 years old, and the ordinary officials are 50 years old!" ”

If you reach an age and can't move up, you have to retire and go home.

Take Zeng Bu as an example, he is responsible for repairing history, and he has the title of a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and he is at the same level as the six squires, the upper limit is 60 years old, he is over 60, even if he is in good health and has no bad deeds, he must retire, there is no room for negotiation!

When the big guy figured it out, they all showed thoughtful looks.

Looks like this is not a bad idea!

In fact, Da Song also has a retirement age limit, and he has to be a priest at the age of 70.

It's just that the implementation of this requirement is very poor, and it often varies from person to person.

For example, some important ministers left the center and took up local posts, and they worked until they were seventy or eighty, and they didn't know how to retire...... Historically, Wen Kuanfu was stunned until he was 92 years old! That's 22 years over the norm!

And the standard of 70 years old is too high, in the Great Song Dynasty, where the average age is less than 50 years old, 70 years old Zhishi means that more than ninety percent of officials can work until death!

With these old guys here, where did the newcomers get ahead...... After Wang Ningan set the age limit, he had to force metabolism, even if he had no merit, he had to give up his position to his juniors.

The people who were still indignant just now, after figuring it out, were extremely shocked.

A few of them were even more overjoyed, and couldn't help but slap King Qin...... But when I thought of Zeng Gong, who was dismissed because of his age, his face turned red!
