Fair and just? I don't think so. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Can King Rui guarantee that there is no favoritism this time, I think his bold move is fake, and it is true that he has won over his henchmen, Yan Chongzhi, the grandson of General Yan Chengde, is the cousin of Princess Rui, and the courtiers are discussing whether Yan Chongzhi's performance is medium but he was retained, this is the fairness and justice of King Rui?" Li Zhengben said with a sneer.

Su He Jingshuo's face changed and asked, "King Rui, is there really such a thing?"

Cheng Lianjin replied: "There is no such thing. “

Su He Jingshuo picked up the list and rummaged through it, then threw the list out, and shouted: "It's all the self-speculation of you courtiers, Li Zhengben, you can see for yourself if there is Yan Chongzhi's name in the retention list? These are all you people who are chasing after the wind and shadows, and you all think that you can stay if you find some connections, do you really think that this merger is a joke?"

Li Zhengben picked up the list and looked at it, the more he turned over, the softer he became, and the cold sweat on his forehead remained.

Su He Jingshuo then reprimanded: "It's all these rumors that have harmed hundreds of officials, and if you don't calm down to face the assessment, you will work the sidelines." Look at who is recommended above, Quan Yizhe, King Jing's cousin, according to your thoughts, such a person will definitely not be retained, so as not to cultivate other princes' henchmen, right? However, King Rui not only retained him but also promoted him to the next rank, because he had made meritorious contributions to digging wells and repairing canals with King Jing a few days ago!

"But Zhao Tingwu did die because of Qi Shangshu's persecution!" Li Zhengben continued.

"Why are you still holding on to it, Zhao Tingwu completely listened to the rumors, panicked and didn't know it, what does it have to do with Qi Shangshu?!" Cao Renjun said on the side.

Li Zhengben continued: "It is true that Zhao Tingwu listened to the rumors and gave gifts, but the way for him to give gifts is Qi Mansion!"

Qi Lianxiang's face changed when he heard this, and the eyes of several people in the imperial study looked at him, Qi Lianxiang hurriedly said: "The minister is an assistant, I haven't seen any officials in private, and I have received any courtesy." “

Suhe Jingshuo saw this. He asked, "Is there any basis for this?"

Li Zhengben replied: "When the minister was in the Zhao Family Lingtang, I heard that Zhao Tingwu asked Lu Shen, a grain merchant in Nanyang City, as a guarantee because he was afraid of being dismissed, borrowed 30,000 yuan from a loan shark, bought a peerless sword and gave it to Qi Shangshu's son, Qi Ruiqing, and asked Qi Gongzi to speak well in front of Qi Shangshu. to seek retention. After learning that he was not retained, Zhao Tingwu wanted to find Qi Feng, the housekeeper of Qi Mansion, to return the sword, but Qi Feng rejected him, so Zhao Tingwu was desperate and chose to hang himself. If you don't believe it, ask Qi Gongzi to come and confront you to argue whether it's true or false!"

Suhe Jingshuo said angrily: "This is true?!"

Li Zhengben took out the confession of the grain merchant Lu Shen from his sleeve and presented it and said: "Here is the confession of the grain merchant, and please ask the emperor to check it." “

Qi Lianxiang didn't expect that there would be such a thing behind him, his face was blue for a while, and sweat was like rain. Suhe Jingshuo glanced at the confession and said: "Okay, you Qi Lianxiang! I don't accept gifts and let my son come forward to accept gifts, and I don't admit it after receiving it, it's really selfish!"

Qi Lianxiang trembled when he heard this, and said ashamedly: "The minister doesn't know that there is such a thing behind him, it doesn't matter if the minister teaches his son, it's all the minister's fault, and the minister's official secretary has no face to do it anymore! Please let the emperor approve the courtier's request." “

Cheng Lianjin didn't expect Ruiqing to be so confused, and was just about to step forward to intercede for Qi Lianxiang, when he saw Qi Lianxiang shaking his head imperceptibly, so he resisted his impulse and stood aside without saying a word.

Su He Jingshuo continued: "This is not what the official I am going to do, I want to see if those officials in the Zhao Family Spiritual Hall can guard Zhao Tingwu for a few days! Explain to the officials that if you don't go back to the yamen tomorrow on business, you won't come!"

Hou Liying has always been in a neutral state, but he didn't expect the emperor to call out to him, and said with an embarrassed face: "The ministers are afraid that the ministers will not do well, these literati will criticize them when they write chapters on weekdays." I haven't been drowned by the spitting stars in the past, I'm afraid that the minister will be rebelled by them before he can persuade them. “

"Plotting against the past?" Su He Jingshuo laughed angrily, "My imperial envoy is so easy to be rebelled against, what are these literati capable of?! You bring my words over and tell them not to expect to use this method to stop the implementation of the merger, if they abandon the world for their own interests, I will not keep it, Nanyang Kingdom is so vast, there are people who want to really do things for Baixin, anyway, three-quarters of them have been abolished, and the remaining more than 700 people are not afraid of all I!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the important ministers in the imperial study changed. Completely understanding the emperor's determination to merge officials this time, Hou Liying did not dare to shirk anymore and could only accept the edict.

Early the next morning, Hou Liying and Cheng Lianjin came to the Zhao Family Spiritual Hall, where more and more officials gathered, and almost all the officials who had been dismissed came, and everyone's cries were higher than the other.

Hou Liying and Cheng Lianjin looked at each other, and neither of them would cross the threshold first.

Seeing the arrival of Hou Liying and Cheng Lianjin, everyone hurriedly got out of the way, and Hou Liying bowed in front of Zhao Tingwu's spiritual seat under the gaze of everyone, and then suddenly threw himself on the coffin and cried bitterly.

Hearing this cry, the crying in the mourning hall became even louder.

Hou Liying cried and shouted: "Tingwu, I feel sorry for you, when you were alive before, you couldn't find some way and no one could ask for it, and now you are dead, leaving only your orphans and widows." These people are all flocking to you again, you didn't help with one thing when you were alive, and you still want to use you to blackmail the court when you die. “

The more everyone heard this cry, the more wrong it became, and the crying in the mourning hall slowly became quieter, only Hou Liying was still crying: "These individuals don't know if they are really crying for you or for themselves." “

This is Hou Liying stopped crying and shouted around: "Why don't you cry, haven't you been crying for two days, and then crying, you have cried Zhao Tingwu first in the past two days, and you have cried yourself." You still have to continue to cry for the literati, crying for the scholars, what you have done in the past few days have lost the style of the literati, the demeanor of the scholars, you must not cry the literati. Cry for the Warriors?"

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to cry.

"Do you think I was crying Zhao Tingwu just now, I was crying for you, you are all literati who have studied hard for decades, and you have been learning benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and filial piety since you were a child. But now, because of his own little money, he used this dead man to coerce the court and the emperor, if you really have the backbone to learn from Zhao Tingwu, what are you crying here?" Hou Liying pointed to Zhao Tingwu's spiritual position and said.

"If the emperor really repeals, you are wrong. Then write a good chapter and complain in front of the emperor, go and write out all your grievances, and see if the dismissal of you is in line with the rules and regulations of the imperial court, if you can't write it, then pack up your literati style, pick up the demeanor of the scholar clan that has fallen to the ground, and carry it well! On weekdays, everyone talks about Shinong and industry, don't throw away the glory of the scholar clan for hundreds of years!" Hou Liying continued.

The hundred officials blushed by what he said, and a dismissed official said: "Lord Hou, don't say it, let's go back!" I also think it's boring, the position I sit in on weekdays is not needed by the court, everyone knows it very well, how much effort I have contributed to the people for the court, everyone is also like a mirror in their hearts, I just don't want to be unwilling, I don't want to be unwilling why I became such a person who is disliked by the court, and in the end, it's not because I am not motivated, no one can complain!"

These words spoke to the hearts of almost all the people who were dismissed, and everyone sighed and said, "We were wrong." “

Seeing this, Hou Liying rushed to the spiritual seat and shouted: "Lord Zhao, you have woken up everyone in the court at this dead point, you can rest assured that the court has arranged a wife and children for you, so you can rest assured that you can go on the road." “

Seeing that the matter had come to this point, everyone slowly dispersed, and Cheng Lianjin came over and said to Zhao Wang's family, "Madam." We have already arranged the ship, and please let Lord Zhao enter the earth as soon as possible. The local officials will take care of your family. “

Zhao Wang's family has seen this farce in the past few days, and he knows that his husband's death is actually not to blame others, now that the loan shark has been repaid, and the child and himself have settled in the future, so he took the child and knelt down and said: "Lord Xie, Lord Xie Qi." “

After the matter was done, Hou Liying and Cheng Lianjin entered the palace to face the saint and reinstated, and sent Hou Liying away After Su and Jingshuo said: "I really wronged you this time, I also know that this matter is difficult to do, no matter whether it is done well or not, it will become the target of public criticism." Fortunately, there was no danger to pass. “

Cheng Lianjin said: "My father praised it falsely, and it is the duty of my son to share my father's worries." It is true that the matter of Qi Gongzi's receiving gifts was not well controlled by his sons, and let others take advantage of the loopholes. “

"I don't blame you for this, they will always think of a way if they want to do something, and there is a more urgent thing for you to do right now, since you have started to participate in the whole process of merging officials. Have you considered how these officials will arrange for you in the future?" asked Suhe Jingshuo.

"Erchen also considered it when he was abolished, but he had not yet come up with specific details for the initial model. Cheng Lianjin replied.

"I know the inside story of this matter, and you don't have to worry too much, just do your best as always. Suhe Jingshuo interrupted Cheng Lianjin and said that he originally only wanted Qi Lianxiang to stay in the position of the official secretary until the end of the merger, but now that Qi Ruiqing received the gift, Qi Lianxiang directly resigned, and Suhe Jingshuo also ended up clean, so as not to find an excuse to remove Qi Lianxiang. It's just that it's not good for Qi Lianxiang's reputation.

It's already late now, and Qi Lianxiang's room is still bright. Qi Ruiqing knelt in front of Qi Lianxiang with a guilty face and said, "Father, my son has embarrassed you." I really didn't know how this sword came from, and the man at that time actually hanged himself because of it. “

Qi Lianxiang sighed. He has always had high hopes for this son who is talented in military affairs, and at the same time he knows what his son's weaknesses are, he is still too simple to stay away from the center of power since he was a child, this matter is just something he expected, but he didn't expect it to happen in such a situation.

Outside the door, Cheng Lianjin walked in through the night, and said indifferently: "Uncle, don't blame Ruiqing, this matter is now thinking about it from the beginning to make a fuss through Ruiqing, if the other party has the intention to make trouble, we can't avoid it." Ruiqing has never experienced this, how can he know the cruelty of this dark arrow, and he will be able to remember it after this experience. “
