There was silence in the imperial study, all waiting for Suhe Jingshuo's decision, Qi Lianxiang panicked and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is the one who leads the troops, and he has not been in the court for a long time, so if he doesn't say it well, he doesn't need to think about it directly." Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Testing"

Suhe Jingshuo picked up the charter, looked at it carefully, and said after a long time: "Just cut three-quarters, the Blade Army was a lot of related households at that time, and finally practiced a mess, this time it can't be any more anticlimactic." What you said makes a lot of sense, you can try it according to the path of your martial artist. “

Cao Renjun also nodded, only Xie Suwen still insisted: "Your Majesty." It's too risky, can you slow it down?"

"I said, Lord Xie, what we have to think about now is not how many things to remove, but to start thinking of ways to find some way out for these dismissed officials. You can use your brains in this area, and with a way out, these people who have lost their positions will not make a fuss. Suhe Jingshuo directly refuted Xie Suwen's request and said.

The matter was so settled, Cao Renjun saw that his idea was adopted, his heart was very happy, and he walked to Qi Lianxiang's side when he left the imperial study and said: "I didn't expect General Qi to be very insightful about this merger of officials, it seems that the officials during this period of time have not done it in vain." “

Qi Lianxiang smiled innocently and said: "Lord Cao, don't bury me, I am a martial artist, and I was pushed down in this position just to deter those literati." “

"General Qi was humble. You have not been in the court all these years, and if you are in the court, you will also be a talent who will worship the generals. Cao Renjun praised from the bottom of his heart, "You have only been here for a year and a half, and what you have seen is more clear than those who have been in the court for decades." “

"Lord Cao is serious. I'd better go back to my tent as soon as the merger is over, this pole is too thin to be as comfortable as my spear. Qi Lianxiang's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Hahaha, since General Qi has no intention of officialdom, I am not strong enough for you. Cao Renjun replied with interest.

Soon, the regulations of the merger spread rapidly, and the plan to abolish three-quarters of them was also known to the officials, and the six departments of the imperial court were like experiencing a great storm, and everyone was in danger.

Zhao Tingwu was even more frustrated, as he would not only lose his position, but also be burdened with heavy loan sharks because of his bribery, which would be worse for his overstretched family.

When Zhao Wangshi heard that Zhao Tingwu was going to be dismissed and borrowed 30,000 yuan, he collapsed and cried at home while shouting that he would kill himself.

It took Zhao Tingwu a lot of effort to muster up the courage to knock on the door of the Qi Mansion, and Qi Feng became angry when he heard it: "I said that you don't understand the rules of officialdom." At the beginning, you and Lu Shen asked someone to find me several times and begged me, let me help you meet Qi Gongzi, what's the matter now, you want to take it back as soon as you send it out? You are slapping yourself in the face. Or do you want to slap our Qi Mansion in the face?"

After saying that, Qi Feng closed the door of Qi Mansion and left with his hand, leaving Zhao Tingwu alone to stand at the door in despair.

After a while, Zhao Tingwu walked back with heavy steps, as if he was sluggish, what was echoing in his mind was the usury and his wife Zhao Wang's words before he went out, if you don't come back, don't come back.

Zhao Tingwu thought about the situation in his house, thought of those poor children, and slowly moved to the outskirts of Nanyang City, and sat under a tree for a while. Finally, he untied his belt and hung himself on a tree.

There was a wail in the mourning hall, a coffin was placed in the hall, and there was a tablet standing in front of it, with the book "Zhao Tingwu, a member of the Nanyang Household Department", and there was an endless stream of people who came to mourn.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the room, and the priest shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince Rui Wang is Ling--Lord Qi Lianxiang of the Ministry of Shangshu Qi Lianxiang is Ling--"

Cheng Lianjin walked to the spiritual position and bowed deeply, and his eyes fell on Zhao Wang's family and several children who were wearing linen and filial piety on the side. He turned around and asked Wuying behind him to take a box of money, handed it to Zhao Wang's and said, "Madam, this is a little bit of my heart, please take care of it, after all, you and the child still have to live." “

Zhao Wang pushed the box away. With an angry face, he said, "We won't ask for your money." Everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Lianjin's face, Cheng Lianjin had no expression on his face, and was about to turn around and leave.

Qi Lianxiang followed behind and shook his head silently, walked up to Zhao Wang's and took out a gold leaf and said, "This is a little bit of Qi's heart." “

Zhao Wang knocked over Qi Lianxiang's hand and said: "My lord, it's better to get rid of it, my Zhao family won't want the money of the two of you even if you live on the streets, if you don't dismiss officials, how can my husband be like this." He has always been honest and honest for the public, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would??" As he spoke, Zhao Wang cried bitterly.

Several officials from the household department also shed tears on the side, and Wang Yingke in the crowd said: "Zhao Tingwu has dedicated half his life to the imperial court, leaving this orphan and widow behind. I heard that he still owes 30,000 yuan before leaving, so everyone should reach out to help this family and make up some money, and we can't let these children really live on the streets. “

As he spoke, he took out a string of money from his clothes and put it in the spiritual position, and the other officials saw this and donated their money. Zhao Wangshi kept kowtowing with the child to thank him.

Cheng Lianjin and Qi Lianxiang stood awkwardly on the side and retreated silently.

There were more and more people in the mourning hall, and Li Zhengben, the envoy of the inspection, looked around and said with a sad and angry face: "Everyone is quiet, do you think that just donating a little money is enough?" Have you all forgotten why Lord Zhao hanged himself, he was forced to do this by King Rui and Qi Lianxiang!"

Everyone quieted down, and someone below responded: "Yes, I was persecuted by King Rui and Qi Lianxiang." “

Li Zhengben saw that someone had responded, and then said: "Are we just because of their high position and power? Please voluntarily leave your name on the paper, and let's petition the emperor! Get rid of Qi Lianxiang and remove King Rui, and we won't go to the yamen for a day when they are in the ministry, and don't go to the people who stay behind after the official retreat, otherwise they will be enemies of other officials!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people who opposed the merger of officials stood up to express their peace, and Li Zhengben took out a pen and paper and left his name on it, and more officials continued to stand up and leave their names one after another.

Back in the middle of the house, Cheng Lianjin and Qi Lianxiang were not happy, but they knew that the emperor had pushed the two of them to this position in order to suffer for him.

At this time, Jing Ping walked in and said with a dark cloud on his face: "Your Highness, you and General Qi have just left the Zhao family, and the courtiers have spontaneously signed a petition to dismiss you, and now this piece has been sent to the emperor, more than 2,000 people have signed, and almost all the civil servants have signed." “

Cheng Lianjin smiled bitterly and said, "Then Jingping came here this time to ask this king to ask for his dismissal?

Jing Ping turned red and said: "Your Highness, whether I am laid off or not, I will support Your Highness, we went hand in hand with the grain at the beginning, and now I will not abandon Your Highness." Besides, I don't feel distressed if I cut a five-grade petty official. “

"It turns out that you are too young. Qin Muyao stepped into the door and said.

"My sister-in-law is here. Jingping Shili said, and after slowly getting acquainted with Cheng Lianjin and Qin Muyao, Jingping changed his name in private.

"I just hold grievances for King Rui and General Qi, this matter is clearly decided by the emperor, but now everyone is pointing the finger at King Rui and the general. Jingping said.

"This is also a helpless thing, now is not the time to be sad about this matter, even if the chapter is presented and will be taken out by the emperor tomorrow morning, the top priority is to quickly determine the retained officials!" Qin Muyao looked at Cheng Lianjin and said.

"If you stop at this point, you won't get anything done. If you offend both the courtiers and the emperor, you and your uncle will really not be able to gain a foothold in this court. Qin Muyao gently held her hand in Cheng Lianjin's hand and said.

Cheng Lianjin looked up at the window and ordered: "Let's go! Go to the Ministry of Officials, and list the list of mergers today!"

Qi Lianxiang didn't say a word and walked out with Jing Ping, who shouted as he walked out: "Your Highness." Now there is no one in the yamen, everyone is still in the Zhao family spirit hall. “

A few days ago, the talent selection incident was like an initiation, which also made him feel ashamed, he had been an official for so long and was finally taught a lesson by a junior, and besides, this King Rui did handle everything impartially, and it was really good for him, and at this time, King Rui could not be left alone.

With Lin Pinxian's help, things went a lot smoother, and soon a list was made. Suddenly, Lin Pinxian didn't move his pen. Seeing this, Cheng Lianjin asked, "What's wrong?"

"There is a minister in the household department who is a little embarrassed, Yan Chongzhi, the grandson of General Yan Chengde, and the cousin of Princess Rui. Minister??" Lin Pinxian glanced up at Cheng Lianjin and said hesitantly.

"What is his performance appraisal?" asked Cheng Lianjin.

"Medium. “

". Cheng Lianjin replied without raising his head.

"Uh-huh. Lin Pinxian put pen to paper, shook his head and smiled and said, "What shouldn't ask the prince this question is a dereliction of duty." “

Cheng Lianjin chuckled and said, "Well, it's very good, it's normal for you to ask, after all, it's Princess Rui's grandfather." “

On the second day, Su and Jingshuo's imperial case placed two memoirs, one was a petition from more than 2,000 courtiers demanding the removal of King Rui and Qi Lianxiang, and the other was a list of officials of King Rui and Qi Lianxiang, and 2,100 current officials were to be dismissed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please say, which chapter should I adopt?" asked Suhe Jingshuo, and several important ministers and six scholars in the imperial study were silent in front of him.

Xie Suwen took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, now the officials are gathered in Zhao Tingwu's house and are unwilling to disperse, it has been two days, and there is no one on duty in the yamen, how can it be good to go on like this for a long time, please ask the emperor to decide." “

"Decide, decide, decide?"

According to the inspector Li Zhengben, he said: "Please ask the emperor to remove King Rui and General Qi from their positions according to the request of the courtiers, and return the courtiers to justice." “

"Is it fair to return the courtiers? How can you return the law? Then Zhao Tingwu was forced by King Rui to hang himself, and he couldn't bear it himself before the list came out, did he also let King Rui and Qi Shangshu hang themselves?" Cao Renjun said with a glaring eye.

Li Zhengben was so choked that he couldn't speak, and Cao Renjun continued: "The minister thinks that although this is a bit too hasty, it would be good to admonish King Rui and Qi Shangshu, after all, the two of them act fairly and justly." “
