Kang Yicheng never expected things to develop into such a situation.

The imperial court's rectification of the rule of officials has already revealed when Sun Fang passed on the case, and the big posture of one king, two prime ministers and three divisions will naturally not be only aimed at a few officials.

But Kang Yicheng did not fail to plan countermeasures. What is the situation of Luoyang's officials, Kang Yicheng has the bottom in his heart, if you want to say that there are very few heinous people, but there are many people who are corrupt and pervert the law, and there are two or three out of ten, which is a terrifying ratio, not to mention the other officials who are attached to them, this force is enough to turn Luoyang upside down.

However, there is always a weak part of human nature, at the beginning of the menacing of one king, two prime ministers and three divisions, the officials only cared about trembling, and failed to resist in time, so they lost some big people, such as Zhang Chunlai, the secretary of the household department, Sun Xing, the servant of the criminal department, and others.

Then, after discussing with Li Congke, Liu Mou, Wang Jishi, Zhu Shouyin and others, Kang Yicheng finalized the tone of joining forces to put pressure on the emperor and disobey the investigation of the three divisions. For a period of time after that, not to mention the excerpts that asked the emperor to suspend the rectification of officials and reduce the scale of investigation, it was to enter the palace to meet the emperor in person, and to show the emperor's interests and disadvantages in person, and to ask the emperor to put the overall situation first, there was an endless stream of officials every day. In order to express their resistance to such unkind policies as investigating and prosecuting corruption and imprisoning people, many officials even left their posts due to illness and stayed at home.

The princes and nobles and the ministers of the court made a statement to the emperor for several days, asking the emperor to practice benevolent government and not to practice harsh government. Relying on the old and selling the old, citing scriptures and classics based on the history of the rise and fall of previous dynasties, there are not a few officials who are bitter and brave enough to show the emperor righteousness.

During that time, it was the most chaotic time in Luoyang officialdom, the ministers were indignant and had no intention of official business, and the operation of the court machinery was almost at a standstill.

It was in this environment that Kong Xun dared to intercept the officials of the Criminal Department in Bianzhou, and dared to make up his mind to do something to the Taiyuan prisoners.

The interception and counter-interception in the heavy rain in Bianzhou was an extension of the struggle between the old and new forces in Luoyang's officialdom, and to a certain extent, it was even an important contest related to victory or defeat.

Of course, it is impossible for Luoyang officials to meet each other with swords and fight against each other, and this kind of thing can only be extended to the localities, and it can be reflected in the localities, and the bloody place of the power struggle will of course be more vividly reflected. In any case, Luoyang represents the face of the empire, and the overall situation of harmony shown by it naturally has to be maintained.

But it was at this time, in the face of the chaotic officialdom, His Majesty the Emperor never gave in to half a point, and the first king, two prime ministers, and three divisions never compromised. The officials in the prison are more than one day after another, and the torture methods of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple seem to be more than one level better than before, and the officials can often confess obediently without seeing blood during torture.

When the struggle between the two sides was at its worst, when a household official went to arrest him in Dali Temple, he hid in a room in advance, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally hanged himself with his belt, and wrote a bloody letter, denouncing the traitor for being in power, for the sake of the dynasty, and for the cruelty of Zhongliang.

On the day the official died, the lights in the palace were lit up overnight.

The ministers gathered outside the palace, knelt down in a large area, and did not retreat until night, calling on the emperor to abolish the harsh government, practice benevolent government, and stop the so-called rectification of the rule of officials.

They knelt all night, but no one dispersed, and their resoluteness was no different from that of a soldier fighting for his life on the battlefield.

After dawn the next day, the king of Qin surrounded these officials with armor soldiers and said coldly: "It is a national misfortune to reverse black and white to such a shameless point. The country is unfortunate, and it is difficult to escape the blame. For more than ten years, I have been lonely on the battlefield, born in a pool of blood, and born in a sea of corpses, relying on the momentum of you and me. Today, you and I will divide the strength and weakness, who can fall to the ground and let you dispose of it! ”

Then, King Qin, dressed in a royal robe, strode towards the group of officials, personally lifted up one official after another, and threw them out of the palace gate one by one.

There are those who dare to resist, King Qin is never unreasonable, he puts down with a punch and drags him out of the palace gate.

The officials were all shocked.

Then they rushed out.

From that day on, the King of Qin mobilized armor soldiers to stay day and night to guard the palace city.

One day, the emperor came to the palace gate, looked at the railing in front of the city tower, and then said to the guards of the palace city: "I started from the grass, and I once lived with the peddlers and pawns, and the people did not dare to say everything about the sufferings of the people, but they also knew a thing or two. If the empire implements a new policy and Luoyang rectifies the rule of officials, if it is really a cruel act of harming the people and causing disaster to the common people, my life should be unpopular, that is, it is in the deep palace, guarded by thousands of armor soldiers, and it will repeat the mistakes of Zhuangzong; If the various policies I have taken since I ascended the throne are beneficial to my Tang Dynasty soldiers, to my Tang people, to my Tang Dynasty and my court, why do I need to guard my soldiers step by step? ”

After that, the emperor ordered the removal of additional armor soldiers and the restoration of ordinary palace bans.

Then he ordered to open the palace door wide, and issued an order: The rectification of the officials will not stop for a day, and the palace gate will not be closed for a day.

The palace of the Tang Emperor, since that day, the front door has been wide open.

But no one trespassed on Miyagi.

This matter spread all over Luoyang, and some people followed suit, and they did not close their doors at night.

Not a single one of the people was stolen.

Even the thieves who used to be active in the past are gone.

The people's customs are greatly improved!

When the unscrupulous officials were thinking hard day and night about how to protect themselves and using various means to embarrass the imperial court, those officials who were honest and loyal to the imperial court showed their due courage at this time.

They stick to their positions day by day, and even when they are in the period of respite, they also sit in the official office, and in the face of those colleagues who treat political affairs perfunctorily and make false accusations, they stand up angrily and scold them. These good ministers of the empire were diligent in political affairs during the day and fulfilled their duties, and at night they planned to write chapters to give advice on state affairs, and even fought for the rectification of officials to show their support.

In the Luoyang officialdom, a sentence arose again for a while, which was often on the lips when the good minister and the traitor scolded each other: "Shame and thief acquaintance, not with Kou!" ”

——During the Battle of Liangchuan, the words expressed by the soldiers of the Wang Division to the Liangchuan rebellion with countless blood have now appeared again in the court, and have become a favorable weapon for the good ministers to motivate themselves and fight against the traitors.

After the rectification of the government entered the middle period, it was also the time when the struggle between the old and new forces was the most intense, and the emperor's imperial case would put up two stacks of high pamphlets every day, one to criticize the rectification of the officials, and the other to support the rectification of the officials.

These two stacks of booklets have gradually changed over time.

The height of the latter is higher than that of the former day after day.

The emperor, who was dealing with political affairs in front of the booklet, his brows were gradually stretched day by day.

Many courtiers who were attached to the traitors gradually broke away from their original camps, and those officials in the middle ground gradually joined in the position of supporting the great policies of the imperial court.

Recalling this, Kang Yicheng's brows furrowed tightly, and his heart was like a fire.

When they perceived the situation as unfavourable, they did not fail to take appropriate measures.

After the failure of Bianzhou's operation to intercept the officials of the Criminal Department and the Taiyuan criminals, Kang Yicheng, like many officials, was keenly aware that as they lost to the first king, two prime ministers and three divisions in this matter, their overall momentum also fell into disadvantage - in the final analysis, it was a collision of the strength of the old and new forces.

But to the delight of Kang Yicheng and others, King Zhao appeared in Bianzhou at that time, indicating his attitude.

The officials who had suffered setbacks one after another and the situation was unfavorable all realized that it was difficult to overwhelm the first king, two prime ministers and three divisions by relying only on their own group, so they threw themselves to King Zhao, hoping to use the dispute between King Zhao and King Qin, with King Zhao as the leader, to organize a counteroffensive and counterattack again, and even when King Zhao needed them to hand in their names, most people did not hesitate.

This is not only the case in Luoyang, but also in the towns and counties of the Zhudao Domain.

However, the good times were only short-lived, although King Zhao set off a gust of wind in the court, but this gust of wind passed quickly, and the old forces did not make any moves for many days, that is, they pinned their hopes on King Zhao, who would have thought that King Zhao would suddenly lead his troops to the battle.

Not to mention that the old forces wasted time and energy, they even missed the opportunity to break out in the end.

After King Zhao left Luoyang, the speed at which Dali Temple and the Criminal Department took people was faster and more fierce than before, and the evidence found was more accurate than one by one, so that the old forces could not react at all, and they were thrown into prison one after another before they could make any moves.

By the time everyone realized the signs of extreme danger, there weren't many people around.

Just like Kang Yicheng now, he sits alone in the room.

The sun outside the house was dazzling, Kang Yicheng's heart was blazing with anger, he suddenly slapped the small case, stood up, and said with a hideous face: "When you come back from aiding Chu, will there be any bones left?" Compared to King Qin, you are a waste! ”

He strode out the door.

The house was suddenly empty.

......

Chongwen Temple.

A hearty laugh lingered.

In addition to Li Siyuan, Li Congjing, An Chongxue, Ren Yuan, Feng Dao, Li Qi and other four prime ministers are there, An Chongzhi was transferred from Zhongshu Province to the privy envoy, which is considered to be a return to his old position, Feng Dao took over as Zhongshu Ling with his erudition, Ren Yuan concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Li Qi concurrently served as the imperial historian, and in addition to this, there was a new prime minister, Li Yu in the provincial servant.

After rectifying the rule of officials, sending prisons to prison, and deposing many officials, it is natural that the vacant positions will be filled by others.

In addition to these few people, there are a few more, the new household secretary Feng Yun, the internal guest provincial envoy Fan Yanguang, the new Xuanhui South Court envoy Meng Hanqiong, and the new Xuanhui North Court envoy Zhao Yanshou.

Everyone laughed, but it was because Li Siyuan said that before this afternoon, Liu Mou, the prime minister of Shangshu Zuo, entered the palace to face the saint and asked to return to his hometown. This old man, who "knows the general situation", took the initiative to ask the old man to return to his hometown today, which can indeed explain a lot of problems, and Li Siyuan's happiness is also reasonable. Of course, according to the usual practice, Li Siyuan stayed once, and he had to wait for Liu Mou to continue to write and resign.

Li Congjing filtered through Liu Mou's crimes in his mind, although this person embezzled a lot of money and had a loss in performing his duties, but there was no such thing as losing his conscience, which was probably his cleverness, and the most important thing to prevent was that the evening festival was too miserable.

After staying in the palace for a long time, Li Congjing retired first.

The hall is full of people, there is no shortage of upstarts, but there are few people he really looks at, and to put it more strictly, there is none. Now that King Qin is surrounded by talents, in terms of talent, he will beat these people by twisting out any one, and King Qin really has no intention of wasting time on them.

History explains that in the first dynasty, good ministers chatted, Ming Jun could be assisted, and courtiers were not talented, which was very reasonable.

The spring curtain has already come to an end, and the new talents have also entered various ministries, and Li Congjing is more concerned about these people.

Since the second year of Tongguang, there was a "second Su", and now the court has not attracted attention for a long time.

For a healthy political group, talents must appear in a ladder manner, and talents at every level must be missing, so as to ensure stamina and promote the continuous development of the entire group.
