Wu Hao eased up slightly: "Miss Yun, you mean, Miss Shen has an accident?" ”

Yun Qing didn't speak.

Wu Hao didn't dare to ask any more, followed Yun Qing all the way forward, got out of the teahouse and took the horse to leave Ling'an Street.

Seeing the horse turning to the right, Wu Hao kindly reminded: "Miss Yun, this is not the direction to return to the palace." ”

"I have something to go to see Prime Minister Anyang." Yun Qing said.

Wu Hao knew her identity, so he didn't say anything when he heard the words.

The horses soon stopped in front of the gate of the pavilion.

Yun Qing jumped off his horse and asked the guard in front of the door, "Where is the prime minister?" ”

The guard replied: "Prime Minister Anyang is discussing with Lord Cai Huaiyun in the front hall. ”

Yun Qing ran to the front hall.

Anyang Qiaozheng and Cai Huaiyun talked about several decrees of the Dayu Dynasty recently, and in the middle of the conversation, they heard the subordinates outside hurriedly report, "Prime Minister, Her Royal Highness the Princess is back." ”

Before Anyang Bridge could speak, Yun Qing had already entered the hall door.

"Your Highness the Princess." The two of them hurriedly saluted her,

Yun Qing looked at the surprised eyes of the two old ministers, relieved slightly, sat down on the main seat and asked lightly, "What are Prime Minister Anyang and Lord Cai talking about?" ”

"Oh." An Yangqiao and Cai Huaiyun exchanged glances, and replied with low eyes: "The two ministers are discussing the recent dismissal of several officials from the six ministries by His Majesty. ”

Yun Qing almost thought that His Majesty in his mouth meant Fu Mingli.

She pursed her lips and hid the discomfort in her heart: "Has the discussion reached a conclusion?" ”

Anyang Bridge: "Not yet, the several officials dismissed by His Majesty are of different ages and factions, and they have nothing in common, the old ministers are ignorant, and they have not yet understood the meaning of Your Majesty's move." “

Yun Qing had nothing to do, so he simply joined their topic, "Tell me about the Prime Minister, who are the officials of the six ministries that Your Majesty has laid off?" ”

"Your Majesty dismissed Zhao Qian, the inspector of the household department, Qin Ping and Sun Li, as well as Zheng Quan of the Ministry of Officials and Cao Qing of the Ministry of Rites. In addition, there are also some local officials scattered in various places, all of whom are over 40 years old, and their political achievements are mediocre, but there are no major mistakes. ”

"Cao Qing of the Ministry of Rites......" Yun Qing put the name of the person and the stereotypical face of the old man in his impression to the number: "I remember that when the Pingguo and Dayu border cities were in rebellion, he was on the side of the Lord and He, right?" ”

Anyang Bridge thought back: "That's true. ”

"Zhao Qian of the household department ......" Yun Qing frowned: "I once heard a rumor, saying that Lord Zhao of the household department thinks that the system of substituting silk for service is contrary to the ancestral regulations, Prime Minister, you can help me think about it, is there such a thing?" ”

Anyangqiao nodded again: "This is true, before the first emperor advocated the implementation of the rent and maid modulation, Zhao Qian was a scholar in the household department, and then he was repeatedly demoted because of this matter, and he reached today's official rank." ”

Yun Qing suddenly realized: "Therefore, His Majesty has dismissed all old-school officials. ”

An Yangqiao's mind flashed with inspiration: "Your Highness, are you saying that Your Majesty is going to make a big move to abolish the old department?" ”

Cai Huaiyun: "But among the officials who have been dismissed now, the officials of the six ministries are all involved, what kind of big action is necessary to alarm half of the imperial court?" ”

Yun Qing sat quietly on his seat and made a contemplative state: "When I was in Pingguo, I often heard the officials of Pingguo mention that although the new emperor of Yu State was not dull in administrative affairs, he was always a little rigid and conservative. ”

"A precedent of more than 100 years, how can it be changed if it is changed?" Cai Huaiyun said disapprovingly: "When the first emperor was alive, he was also dissatisfied with some systems of our dynasty, the land system, the imperial examination, and the employment of people, which was not put on the tip of His Majesty's heart and wanted to reform, now?" In addition to the effectiveness of the imperial examination system and the acceptance of the ministers, the modulation of rent and maids has been resisted by the clans, and the opposition has been not small, and now the new emperor has only been on the throne for a few years? If the foundation is not stable, you want to implement the new policy......" He shook his head and sighed: "I see, Your Majesty is too much to take for granted. ”

"If you don't do it, how do you know if you can't do it?" Yun Qing lowered his eyes and said with a low smile: "Everything is man-made, since Your Majesty is against the people's heart for the well-being, you are not afraid of not doing well." ”

Cai Huaiyun's statement is not very good, but it is also true, His Majesty has been questioned because of his bloodline, and his position in the court is not stable, so it is indeed not wise to rush forward at this time.

The first reaction of Princess Rongle when she guessed His Majesty's intention was not to take the opportunity to put pressure on His Majesty, but to praise it in front of the courtiers, and it was clear that she wanted to support the new policy.

Seeing Yun Qing say this, Cai Huaiyun didn't want to say anything more, so he curled his mouth and coughed dryly, and found a reason to retreat.

Anyang Qiao saw Cai Huaiyun leave, turned back to Yun Qing and said: "Lord Cai Huaiyun is upright and upright, but he is absolutely loyal to Da Yu, and I hope you don't be surprised." ”

What he said was Cai Huaiyun's resignation halfway, and he also referred to the fact that the entourage that Cai Huaiyun sent back to Dayu was stopped by Yunqing.

Yun Qing didn't take Cai Huaiyun's attitude to heart at all, and said quietly with his chin: "When my father was alive, I said that there has never been a shortage of flattering people in the court, but what is lacking is a direct official who dares to speak out and admonish, and dedicates himself to public service. I'm not afraid of Lord Cai's outspokenness, but I'm afraid that he won't dare to say it. ”

Anyangqiao happily applauded: "Your Highness can think like this, the old minister is very pleased." ”

Yun Qing lowered his eyelids and didn't say a word.

An Yangqiao looked at her absent-minded face and asked gently, "Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly returned to the pavilion, what is the important matter?" ”

"I can't talk about anything important." Yun Qing let out a long sigh, "Today I found out that Shen Lingyao, who assassinated my two maids before, actually had dementia, I was just on the street, and I obviously had a chance to save her, but ......" Yun Qing covered his forehead, and a shallow furrow in his eyebrows: "I don't regret not saving her,...... Why doesn't she remember what happened before? Such revenge is too unpleasant. ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess meant, the old minister knows." Anyang Qiao was like a loving elder, patted Yunqing's head with a smile, and slowly sat opposite her: "You want to avenge those two girls, and the object of revenge is Shen Lingyao, who has a clear hatred and a clear conscience, not Shen Lingyao, who is now ignorant and ignorant of the past, right?" ”

Yun Qing closed his eyes and nodded: "Yes." ”。

"According to the old minister's meaning, Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to be so uncomfortable. Because whether it is Shen Lingyao now or Shen Lingyao in the past, they are the same person, and her sins cannot be ignored because she lost her mind. An Yangqiao thought about it and gave Yun Qing an analogy: "For example, if a wicked person who kills a murderer, if he accidentally knocks his head and loses his memory after killing someone, then can he not accept punishment?" ”
