In the household department of Luoyang City, Zhao Xin, Li Jie, and Zhang Chao were dealing with the government affairs of the household department, when they heard the footsteps, they looked up, and showed a surprised look: "Brother Sima, when did you come back."

"No, you're still on vacation. Counting the time, it should only arrive, and it will not be long before home. Why did you return to Luoyang so quickly." Zhao Xin looked at Sima Zhao, saw the dust on his face, and hurriedly asked.

Zhang Chao thought for a while, and carefully tested for a long time: "Brother Sima, but something big happened at home." Otherwise, why would you be dusty."

"There's nothing to do at home, but on the road, I've seen a little bit more. I had to say goodbye to my parents in a hurry and return to Luoyang overnight." Sima Zhao couldn't get tired, walked over directly, reached the main seat, and smiled bitterly at the three of them.

Li Jie and the three of them were shocked when they heard that they had returned overnight. Could it be that something really big happened that deserves his such hurry: "What is Brother Sima?" can make you so rushed".

"On the way back to my hometown, I witnessed the poison of the law, which was shocking." Sima Zhao thought of Xiaoshi Village and Quanzhou Mansion Gambling House, and his heart ached.

Seeing Sima Zhao's painful look, Zhang Chao glanced at Li Jie and Zhao Xin, revealing a puzzled expression: "Brother Sima, everything is going well now that the law change is going well, and the people and the court are all benefiting from it." How can you say that it is poisonous, it is worth your hasty return to Luoyang overnight."

"Poison? I returned to my hometown with Liu Sheng and Jia Fu ......". Sima Zhao told all the experiences along the way in detail.

After hearing this, the three of them all showed a look of disbelief. They also come from poor backgrounds, and they naturally know the hardships of these things. Zhao Xin was furious, looked at Sima Zhao and asked, "Is this true?" I will immediately write to Your Majesty and refresh the rule of the officials. Remove these, bold men".

"Is recall alone useful? It is important to know that the law does not hold the public accountable. This matter is not one official or one place, but the whole world. All the officials did so. I feel that the root cause of this should appear in the assessment of the officials." After hearing this, Zhang Chao calmed the anger in his heart and thought about it slightly.

Li Jie repeatedly scrutinized, and also agreed with Zhang Chao's point of view: "Huang Ren's words, the suffering of the official master, are right. In fact, this is a dilemma. If the court can slow down the change of the law, cancel the progress of the change of the law, and obtain the promotion assessment, this poison should be able to be solved."

"You didn't expect that now officials everywhere have tasted the sweetness. As long as the new law is not repealed for a day, they will not stop for a day. It is too late, too late, to simply cancel the assessment of the household department in this regard." Sima Zhao sighed slightly, this question was thought about for a long time on the way back. In the end, it has to be admitted that the only way to do this is to completely repeal the new law. Let the officials below find no excuses. This matter is really coming to an end.

The three of them nodded slightly, feeling that this was reasonable. Zhang Chao suddenly thought of something and looked at Sima Zhao: "Brother Sima, do you know that the new law is abolished." What does it mean for the imperial court and for our household department".

"The household department continues to be in deficit, and at the same time, it is unable to provide relief to the victims of the disaster in Hebei. Many things will be forced to stop because of lack of money." How could Sima Zhao not know these questions. But the priority now is to allow the people to recuperate. Instead of continuing to toss and hurting the vitality of the imperial court.

The three of them pondered, Zhao Xin looked at Sima Zhao, and couldn't help but suggest: "You and Wang Shilang have a good relationship." If you can move him, pause the change. When we find a solution to this poison, we may be able to get the best of both worlds."

"As long as Brother Sima can convince Wang Shilang and you meet Your Majesty together, I think the change should be suspended." Zhang Chao and Li Jie agreed. If this matter can be resolved in this way, it will naturally be the best.

Sima Zhao shook his head, he already knew Wang An, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to persuade him to slow down. What's more, the law change was completely suspended: "I'm afraid this matter is difficult, it's just a friend, I'll give it a try."

"Brother Sima, don't worry, no matter what the result of the conversation between you and Wang Shilang is. The three of us will fully support you and stop the change. and a peaceful life for the people". The three of them hurriedly expressed their support, after all, this matter is difficult. Now that hundreds of officials are profiting, it is so difficult to get them to abolish the law.

Sima Zhao didn't say much, got up directly, and walked out of the house. Walked directly to the ministry, Wang An's office.

Among the officials, Wang An is checking the details of the implementation of the law changes by officials from all over the country. Lu Qing flattered on the side: "My lord, look, the situation of changing the law in various places is very good. The people who have benefited are innumerable. I'm afraid that it won't be long before this prosperous era comes."

"Shengshi? I think it's troubled times, it's pretty much the same." Sima Zhao walked in at this time and heard Lu Qing's words. couldn't help the anger in his heart, and reprimanded angrily.

Lu Qing was furious in his heart, but when he saw Sima Zhao walking in, he quickly put away his anger and smiled: "Master Sima, it's really humorous."

"Humor?". Sima Zhao looked at Lu Qing with a smile, and without waiting for Wang An to speak, he sat down directly opposite him.

Wang An was slightly stunned when he saw Sima Zhao with an angry face, and turned to look at Lu Qing: "You step back first, I have something to talk about with Sima Shilang."

"The lower official retired ......". When Lu Qing heard Wang An's order, he hurriedly bowed down and retreated. Facing Sima Zhao in his heart, he snorted coldly.

Seeing Lu Qing walking away, Wang An looked at Sima Zhao suspiciously, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't you go back to your hometown with Liu Sheng and Jia Fu." How did it come back so quickly".

"It's not all, it's what I've seen and heard along the way." Sima Zhao looked at Wang An and thought of his past feelings. The anger subsided, revealing a sad face.

Wang An was slightly surprised. What is it that deserves his return in such a hurry: "What has been seen and heard, I would like to hear it in detail".

"...... along the way". Sima Zhao told what happened along the way again, staring at Wang An for a long time.

Wang An's expression was very indifferent, and he was not angry and sighed: "It turned out that this matter was a three-point poison, although it was unexpected, but it was also reasonable."

"You really expected this? Then why do you insist on doing this?" Sima Zhao saw Wang An's indifferent expression, and anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Wang An saw Sima Zhao's angry face and was a little confused: "You control the household department, don't you know." The money allocated from the imperial court will be deducted layer by layer? Actually arrived at the place, and in the hands of the people. In fact, it's all there, and there's not much left. Our ministry will include the progress of the law change in the assessment. Officials at all levels, if they have a sharp blade on their heads, they will naturally make such a move."

"Nature? Your nature is to let the imperial court, through such means. Do you scavenge the only remaining rations from the hands of the people? Wang An, do you know how much suffering the people have suffered for this matter." Sima Zhao couldn't hold back his anger at this time, and scolded Wang An angrily.

Hearing the angry reprimand, Wang An frowned, but he didn't have a seizure when he thought about the past: "I naturally have my family and the people in mind, and you said that I have one of those laws, which is a law that harms the people." Now that the new law has just been enacted, the people and officials in various localities are still unable to accept it for a while. After a few years, the law will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the drawbacks you mentioned can be solved by themselves."

"Self-explanation? The people will have to wait a few more years." Sima Zhao laughed angrily, he Wang An was born in a wealthy family and lived in Luoyang for a long time. How can you understand the desolation and suffering of the people.

Wang An couldn't hold back his anger at this time, and asked loudly: "You have seen things that can be done in a flash, and it will become a major event in France." I will first let the laws and regulations pass through the world, and slowly rectify the shortcomings step by step, which is better than when the law was not changed in the first place."

"Slowly straighten out? May I ask Wang Shilang, how long is your slowness?" Sima Zhao's eyes were red, and he looked at Wang An in a cold tone.

Seeing Sima Zhao like this, Wang An was slightly stunned, and an ominous feeling appeared in his heart: "What do you want?"

"The so-called slow, the so-called self-liberation. The people can't wait, and I, Sima Zhao, can't wait. In that case, I'm just going to let it stop." After Sima Zhao said this, he got up and walked out the door.

Wang An listened and shouted at Sima Zhao who was far away: "Sima Zhao abolished the law, the household department was empty, and the court was unable to provide disaster relief, have you ever thought about these consequences?" Once the war starts, our dynasty will have the money to mobilize a large army to defend the country."

"Don't bother with these things, Wang Shilang bother. The deficit of the household department is naturally solved by our household department. At this time, I, Sima Zhao, have returned to Luoyang, and this law will be abolished." Sima Zhao's voice came from behind, and then disappeared outside the door.
