Lee's house, night.

After Sun Tianguan arrived at the Li Mansion, he found that Li Tingji was not the only one who had invited, and Ye Xianggao was already waiting in the mansion.

"I've seen Lord Tianguan!"

Seeing Li Tingji and Sun Piyang stepping in, Ye Xianggao hurriedly got up and arched his hand.

"Jinqing doesn't have to be polite, today we will meet in private, regardless of officialdom etiquette!"

Seeing Ye Xianggao so polite, Sun Tianguan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that one of the three giants of the imperial party now seems to be his second official, and his serious title is the left servant of the ministry.

It's just that these days, he has been in a state of nervousness, and the few meetings with Ye Xianggao have been in front of the king, as the former minister of the Son of Heaven, Ye Xianggao's ranking has always been in the forefront, so he almost ignored this, you know, if you really talk about the rules of officialdom.

It is Ye Xianggao, the cabinet assistant, if you talk about status, you can't compare to him, after all, Ye Xianggao's title is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and even if it is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, the ranking is also after the Ministry of Officials, so Ye Xianggao greets him directly when he comes together, which is the regular officialdom rule.

On the contrary, it is himself, who has seen a few more people in front of the Son of Heaven recently, but he has forgotten these officialdom rules......

However, Sun Shangshu is also an eight-sided exquisite person, and he was stunned for a moment, then returned with a smile and waved his hand.

Although his official position is high, but now that he has to mix under the Son of Heaven, he can't just look at the officialdom for so long, although the status of these two people in front of him is not as good as him, but his understanding and influence of the Son of Heaven are incomparable to him.

"Then the old man is welcome!"

Li Tingji also arched his hand, but he was not humble, and sat down on the main seat, this place is the Li Mansion, and it is natural for him to sit on the main seat, and Sun Piyang and Ye Xianggao also sat down in their own positions, and after greeting for a while, Li Tingji's face was solemn, and he mentioned today's business.

"I wonder what the two of you think of His Majesty's will today?"

The Son of Heaven summoned several of them today and said a lot of things, in addition to the promotion from the Dragon Minister, he also set the matter of the Guozijian and the action against Kedao.

But the two people present knew that Li Tingji was not asking about this, but about the last trace of the Son of Heaven's holy will.

"Officialdom is corrupt, this is a big drawback, since Your Majesty wants to rectify the rule of officials, you must work this matter, I want to convene us today, just so that we have a preparation in our hearts, don't be caught off guard!"

In terms of understanding the Son of Heaven, Sun Piyang knew that he was not as good as the other two, so he was also wise not to speak, silent for a moment, or Ye Xianggao said tentatively.

However, although Sun Piyang did not speak, he nodded slightly, obviously he also thought so.

Unexpectedly, Li Tingji shook his head lightly and said.

"This is just one of them, Jinqing, you still don't really understand what Your Majesty means......"

Ye Xianggao was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and arched his hand.

"Please give me advice!"

"You and I don't have to be so polite, now they are all their own family, and the old man is not shy about it, today's events, perhaps in the eyes of Jinqing and Master Sun, only the last anger of the Son of Heaven is the focus, but the old man thinks that every word and deed of the Son of Heaven today is a reminder to us!"

Li Tingji waved his hand and said after a moment of silence.

Sun Piyang and Ye Xianggao glanced at each other, but they were a little puzzled, Sun Tianguan hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"If it is said that the line of science and technology supervision that Er Zhang said in the palace is related to the rule of officials, the old man can still understand it, but the matter of this national eunuch, is it possible that it is also related to this matter?"

As early as when he was in the palace, Sun Tianguan saw that the matter of Guozijian was just a trick taken by Fang Congzhe, although Guozijian and officialdom morale have a relationship, but if you want to start with Guozijian, the effect is too slow, since the Son of Heaven wants to move the court, he will not choose this way to achieve slow results.

And Fang Congzhe just escaped the catastrophe because of the light that the Son of Heaven had already had the idea of improving the Guozijian, but now, Li Tingji said that the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven are related to the rectification of the officials, how can it not make the Lord Tianguan wonder?

"To be precise, it's not related to the rule of officials, it's related to the follow-up!"

Li Tingji pointed at Ye Xianggao, but his face showed a wry smile.

"Old man?"

Ye Xianggao was a little dumbfounded, what does this matter have to do with him......

However, Li Tingji's face was solemn and he spoke.

"Does Jinqing think that at this moment, His Majesty ordered Jinqing to go out to visit the folk Confucianism is a temporary idea?"

Saying this, Ye Xianggao didn't react, but Sun Piyang frowned first.

When Li Tingji didn't say it before, he hadn't noticed it, but now when Li Tingji mentioned it, he also felt a little wrong, you know, now Ye Xianggao is a servant of the ministry, a member of the third grade, and one of the core figures of the imperial party, that Cheng Dawei is of course a folk Confucian, and even a master of the count, but after all, he is just a folk person, and it is already a courtesy to send an ordinary five- or six-grade official to extend the invitation, as for letting Ye Xianggao go in person as a third-grade official?

You must know that Cheng Dawei is now in Xiuning, Huizhou, which is not close to the capital, and Ye Xianggao is gone, and he is afraid that he will not be able to come back without three or four months of work.

And what is the situation in the DPRK now, the Son of Heaven sharpens his knife and Huo Huo wants to do something against the officials, it is when the court is overturned, and Ye Xianggao, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, can definitely play a big role in this matter, but the Son of Heaven sent his right-hand man to Huizhou at this moment to do such an insignificant thing compared with the court bureau, isn't it strange?

"Your Majesty wants to let the old man avoid this matter? But why? ”

Ye Xianggao was stunned for a moment, obviously also figured out the joints, and frowned, but he was a little confused.

He hasn't made the Son of Heaven angry recently!

You must know that among the imperial party, Ye Xianggao may not be the one with the highest status, nor the most important one, but he is definitely the one with the best popularity, whether it is Li Tingji, Fang Congzhe, or Han Yi and other young generations, they all have a good relationship with him.

What's more, these days, Li Tingji and Fang Congzheming are fighting in the imperial party, and Han Yi is not in Beijing, but it all depends on him to maintain the situation of the imperial party, in addition, Ye Xianggao has to go around to work for Li Tingji's affairs, which can be regarded as doing his best, so he really can't think of any reason for the Son of Heaven to break him up at this time......

"For your own good, of course!"

Li Tingji shook his head and said lightly.

"Your Majesty has made it clear today that the practice of bribery and bribery in officialdom is serious, and corruption is prevalent, which shows that the Son of Heaven has made up his mind to rectify this unhealthy trend, but you must know that among my generation, there are not all shortcomings to be taken, and Jin Qing can understand?"
