As soon as everyone sat down, the official who delivered the holy decree walked in under the guidance of Mi Weiyi. The content of the holy decree is nothing more than boasting about Liu Zhengfeng's virtue and giving him the position of a general. It's just that what made Zhu Youzhu and Wang Zhi unhappy was that everyone present except for Liu Zhengfeng and his disciples, everyone else didn't kneel, and they didn't even stand up.

"Don't be surprised, everyone in the rivers and lakes is like this! But I'm curious, is this decree real? The official position that the emperor personally gave him? ”

Persuaded Zhu Youzhu in a good voice, Chen Quan asked curiously.

"The decree is true! However, it is not accurate to say that the emperor personally gave this Liu Zhengfeng the post of general. Middle- and low-level military attachés such as staff generals are generally reported to the official department in the capital from the local government, and then the official department will compile the names of the officials to be promoted in various places into a book and submit them to the cabinet elders for review. After there is no problem with the cabinet veteran's review, it will be submitted to the emperor for approval. However, in many cases, the emperor does not necessarily check them one by one, but the celebrant will copy them, and then draft the holy decree in batches and cover it with a jade seal. ”

Wang Zhi explained to Chen Quan instead of Zhu Youzhang, and at the same time let many people at the same table understand how Liu Zhengfeng's position as a general came about.

"That's not good! It's not good to hand over the power of official promotion to the internal supervisor! It is better to directly delegate the appointment and dismissal of middle and low-level officials to the cabinet! And the internal supervisor, for example, the East Factory is only responsible for providing relevant information to the emperor. If there is a problem with the decision on the appointment and dismissal of officials in the cabinet, the emperor will then veto the relevant appointment and dismissal decision of the cabinet! ”

Chen Quan didn't care whether Wang Zhi would be unhappy at all, and directly questioned the appointment and dismissal process of officials in the Ming Dynasty.

"Hehe, it's useless for us to say it. Brother Chen, let's still see the excitement. Watch the excitement! ”

Zhu Youzhu laughed uncomfortably and ended the topic. Delegating power to the cabinet doesn't mean that the emperor himself will give up his authority! This kind of thing would not be agreed to by an emperor.

Looking at Zhu Youzhu and Wang Zhi's reactions, Chen Quan shook his head helplessly. It seems that it is simply impossible to implement reform from the top down, and without external pressure, it is impossible for the thinking of the family to change.

Liu Zhengfeng accepted the decree, thanked the official who announced the decree, secretly gave a silver ticket, and happily toasted to each table, but the atmosphere in the banquet was extremely embarrassing. The people of the large sect are okay, at least they still maintain their superficial politeness. Some small sects, or people on the Green Forest Road, have already raised their eyebrows against Liu Zhengfeng. When Liu Zhengfeng toasted, he was too lazy to get up.

In this case, Liu Zhengfeng had to let his disciples bring out all the items needed for the golden basin to wash their hands, and wanted to officially arrange the golden basin to wash their hands.

watched Liu Zhengfeng complete the steps of suing the sky, the land, and everyone in turn, and officially announced that he would withdraw from the rivers and lakes from now on, and the grievances and grievances with the rivers and lakes would no longer have anything to do with them.

After a set of procedures, the sense of ceremony is quite sufficient, but Chen Quan wants to laugh very much. Just such a ritual wants to cut off the past, how can people on this road be so naïve?

Ordinary people who have no grievances, these people in the martial arts are all killed, you are a grudge-ridden gangster, even if you successfully complete the golden basin to wash your hands, people will not be able to kill you. Not only will he be killed, but he will also put himself in a more dangerous situation than ordinary people because he does not have the help of those friends in the past.

"Wait!"

As soon as Liu Zhengfeng was about to put his hand into the golden basin, Fei Bin rushed into the compound with six or seven Songshan disciples, and at the same time, a burst of scolding and fighting suddenly came from Liu Zhengfeng's backyard.

The sudden change made Liu Zhengfeng's face change wildly, and Fei Bin's face was extremely ugly.

"For righteousness, go to the backyard and have a look!"

"No one is allowed to move!"

Seeing that Mi Weiyi wanted to take people to the backyard under Liu Zhengfeng's order, Fei Bin suddenly became anxious. But how could Mi Weiyi ignore his order, and he had already rushed to the backyard with more than a dozen people.

"On the orders of the alliance master, in the Liu Mansion, everyone must not act rashly!"

Seeing that the situation was unexpected, Fei Bin immediately called out the Songshan disciples who were ambushed around. For a time, the entire compound was tense. All the guests, except for Chen Quan, Zhu Youjiao, and Wang Zhi, all stood up and stared nervously at the field.

"Senior Brother Fei, what do you mean by this!"

Yue Buqun glanced at everyone, especially seeing that Chen Quan looked like he was watching a good show, and immediately stood up and questioned Fei Bin.

"What do you mean! You ask Liu Zhengfeng what he did! ”

"No matter what Senior Brother Liu does, you shouldn't attack his wife and children!"

At this time, Dingyi's angry voice came. I saw Liu Zhengfeng's wife, a son and a daughter retreating to the front yard under the cover of the disciples of Hengshan, followed by Ding Mian and Lu Bai.

"What if it is to collude with Demon Sect Elder Qu Yang and conspire to subvert my Wuyue Sword Sect!"

Ding Mian stared at Ding Yi viciously, he never thought that Ding Yi would be in the backyard of Liu Zhengfeng's house, so that the Songshan disciples led by Lu Bai were about to attack Liu Zhengfeng's wife and children, and they were discovered by Ding Yi. After that, even if Ding Mian made a move, he failed to snatch Liu Zhengfeng's wife and children from the hands of this grumpy old nun.

"What! Senior Brother Liu, is what Senior Brother Ding said true? ”

Yue Buqun looked at Liu Zhengfeng in surprise, and Tianmen Dao Leader and Ding Yi also looked at Liu Zhengfeng in disbelief.

was picked out about his relationship with Qu Yang, Liu Zhengfeng had no master for a while, and he actually admitted it stupidly.

"Brother Qu and I are just intersecting because of the rhythm of music, and there is no conspiracy at all!"

Rumble!

There was an uproar at the scene, and Chen Quan sighed helplessly.

"What a death!"

"What if you admit it! Then Liu Zhengfeng is already an official of the imperial court, can they still dare to kill people? ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at the field unhappily, although he had no impression of Liu Zhengfeng. But since the holy decree has been issued, it means that Liu Zhengfeng is already an official of the imperial court. In his opinion, these people did not dare to kill people at all, otherwise they would rebel.

"Huh! Fewer officials are killed every year? And which of these sects has no officials behind them, they just need to suppress this matter through the officials they raise. ”

Chen Quan shrugged his shoulders and said.

Don't say it's the Wuyue Sword Faction, it's just some small gangs that can't get on the table, such as the Groove Gang, the Salt Gang and other small gangs that don't have any masters, all of which have the support of officials behind them.

"Humph!"

Hearing Chen Quan say this, Zhu Youzhu snorted coldly in extreme displeasure.

"Senior Brother Liu, why are you so confused! That demon sect thief is insidious and cunning, and his fellowship with you is obviously to separate my Wuyue Sword Sect, and ultimately achieve the goal of weakening my Wuyue Sword Sect. ”

Ding Yi was full of hatred for iron and steel, looking at Liu Zhengfeng, who was still defending Qu Yang.
