"Xie Qing, although Mu Heyun's rebellion has ended, there are still some remnants that have not yet been cleared, are you willing to go back to the dynasty to help me clean up these remnants together?"

In the inner hall, Emperor Qin Xu sincerely invited while reading the list of Mu rebels.

He knew very well that Xie Chongning had to stay away from the capital because of Mu Heyun's design, and now was the time to employ people, and a talented loyal minister like Xie Chongning must be reused.

"Your Majesty has tormented the minister, and it is an honor for your majesty to appreciate it, and the minister will never give up."

Xie Chongning acted respectfully, and his tone was humble and sincere, expressing his belief in following to the death.

For Qin Xu, the emperor, Xie Chongning still trusts him very much, he is a good emperor, and he is also a good monarch who understands the people's feelings, and it is his honor to assist him in reorganizing the current miasma of the world.

"Xie Qing's words are serious, what are you talking about, I still need you, the pillar of the country, to govern the world with me?"

The emperor walked around the table and approached Xie Chongning, and patted his hands on his shoulders, which represented his full expectations and trust in Xie Chongning and the heavy responsibility of saving the people of Liming.

Now that he has calmed down Mu Heyun and other man-made rebels, peace has just been restored, but in recent years, the people of the world have suffered various disasters, and the world has long been riddled with holes and cannot withstand any wars and disasters, so this heavy responsibility naturally falls on him, the monarch of the world.

Qin Xu is a benevolent monarch, and he is also very heartbroken about the wars suffered by the people in recent years. There are corrupt officials, and these must be rectified slowly.

"Here are some of Sun Xiaoquan's greed. If you want to get rid of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you must first clean up the moths of these senior courts. ”

The emperor's eyes are full of anger and fighting spirit, and what he is angry about is what Sun Xiaoquan has done over the years, which can see the evil deeds of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as well as the disadvantages of officials protecting each other and blocking news.

Xie Chongning took over the thick pile of evidence, flipped through the pages one by one, the evil deeds written on the pages, and the crimes on a single page were enough to accept the most severe punishment.

After reading the evidence about Sun Xiaoquan given to him by the emperor, Xie Chongning realized that the evidence he had over the years was only part of it.

At this point, Xie Chongning still admires Qin Xu, the emperor, very much, after so many years of dormancy, it is very difficult to secretly collect the evidence of these people without being discovered.

"Xie Qing has finished reading it? What do you think? ”

Seeing that Xie Chongning was silent after turning over the last piece of paper, as if he was thinking, the emperor asked out loud.

"Your Majesty, I can't hide it, when the minister was in Mucheng, he was also collecting Sun Xiao's whole fish and meat people, greedy. Evidence of corruption, but Sun Xiaoquan is very cunning, does things without leaving traces, and the minister also traced it for a long time to find a little clue, originally planned to wait for the dust to settle down and tell the emperor, but now it seems that His Majesty has already counted it in his heart, and the minister is ashamed. ”

Xie Chongning understood that since the emperor could find so much evidence of Sun Xiaoquan's crime, some of his actions must have been noticed by the emperor, so he confessed.

"Oh? Xie Qing also checked? It seems that our ideas coincide, Xie Qing doesn't have to be modest, even so, then the heavy responsibility of arresting Sun Xiaoquan will be handed over to Xie Qing, this matter involves a wide range of things, you will handle it, I am more assured, now I can only trust you. ”

"Your Majesty has promoted the minister, since Your Majesty trusts the minister so much, the minister will live up to his expectations and bring this person to justice to set an example."

Xie Chongning's tone was very firm, this was what he wanted to do a long time ago, but there were a lot of things in the middle, Sun Xiaoquan was also involved in some things in his family at the beginning, and he really couldn't forgive it Now is just an opportunity, but he didn't show any of his thoughts on his face, and he had already experienced the truth of accompanying the king like a tiger in the previous emperor.

"Then there is Lao Xie Qing, and when this matter is dealt with, there will be Lao Xie Qing to help me purge the Qing Dynasty."

After a long sigh, the emperor said earnestly.

His face was full of gratification, his eyes were undisguised with love, Xie Chongning's every answer was very much in line with his heart, and he was neither humble nor arrogant, there was no flattery and flattery, every word he said seemed to come from the heart, and people could only see sincerity.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and it is an honor for Weichen to be able to share your worries for Your Majesty."

After speaking, Xie Chongning respectfully gestured to show his respect for the emperor.

The emperor trusts him, although he is exempted from some rules, it does not mean that he can break some rules.

After coming out of the palace, Xie Chongning began to work on Sun Xiaoquan's affairs, and after sorting out all the evidence, he tired out those Sun Xiaoquan's henchmen and officials who were connected with him, and after discussing with the emperor, he began to punish.

In the end, Sun Xiaoquan, the main culprit, was beheaded on the street to show the public, and those who participated in it all ended up the same as him, and the rest of the family members were assigned as slaves, and they were not allowed to re-enter the official in this life.

There are also some people who are related to Sun Xiaoquan, but the crime is not serious, they were all demoted, or exiled, in short, no one was spared.

Subsequently, the imperial court promulgated a series of regulations for the benefit of the people and new standards for the selection of new officials.

After this incident, the people also saw the actions of the imperial court, and they also had a new understanding of the new emperor.

This series of things is widely sung among the people, and the people have seen the hope of life, and the emperor who can be so sympathetic to the people's feelings and love the lives of the people will definitely be a good monarch, and he is more in awe of Qin Xu, and the scholars are even more sought after for the current emperor.

After Mu Heyun was exiled, after cleaning up the remnants, the cabinet has been in a state of leaderlessness, and the court has been discussing the best candidate to manage the cabinet recently, but there has been no conclusion for a long time, and the emperor has also allowed them to argue and has not expressed his position.

One day, after the dynasty was dispersed, Xie Chongning was summoned to the main hall to discuss matters.

"Xie Qing, what do you think of the controversy in the cabinet?"

The emperor looked at the folds in his hand, all of them were about the head of the cabinet, but Xie Chongning did not participate, so he called Xie Chongning to discuss alone.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now it is indeed necessary to solve the problem of the head of the cabinet, and now the entire cabinet is in a state of chaos, and a leader is urgently needed to lead them.

Xie Chongning analyzed the current situation and expressed his thoughts.

"Xie Qing is right, now we really need to solve the problem of the cabinet, the reason why there will be a rebellion of the Mu clan is because the head of the cabinet is dominant, his ambition is inflated, and he thinks that he is the master, so the current situation will appear, I plan to abolish the cabinet system, disperse power, and avoid one person being dominant, what does Xie Qing think?"

Although the cabinet system can prevent the emperor from making wrong decisions to a certain extent, it is not a good thing for the king or the people of the world to have too much power for the courtiers.

If this leader is dedicated to the people, it will be fine, if there is another courtier like Mu Heyun, it will be unfortunate for the people of the world, so the best way now is to abolish the cabinet system, disperse the power of ministers, and restrain each other in order to develop better.

This is what Qin Xu has always wanted to do, and the reason why it has not been implemented for a long time is because Mu Heyun, the head of the cabinet at that time, had too much power, and it would basically be difficult to implement it.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the establishment of the cabinet system was originally to restrain some of the king's decisions, and now His Majesty is wise and decisive, sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and is a rare Ming monarch in a century, and the cabinet system is now full of drawbacks, which is indeed not suitable for continued implementation."

Hearing the emperor say this, Xie Chongning was not much surprised, the emperor has not expressed his position after so many stalemates, and let these courtiers argue, he must have some thoughts in his heart.

"Xie Qing, now that there is such an endless argument and fruitless situation, someone needs to break it, I hope this person is you."

The emperor didn't say it very clearly, but he believed that Xie Chongning must have understood what he meant.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, he heard Xie Chongning's categorical answer, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best." ”

The emperor understands very well that only by bringing up this matter from the mouths of the courtiers can he stop some people's mouths and prevent them from suspecting that this cabinet system is meant to restrain the emperor, and if he, the emperor, says it, there will definitely be many people at the bottom to block it, so it is better for this matter to be raised by the courtiers.

After Xie Chongning returned from the palace, he began to prepare for writing a recital and sent it to the palace overnight, just so that he could submit it smoothly the next day.

The next day, there was another chatter in the court, all over one thing, and that was the question of the head of the cabinet.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the cabinet system is now doing more harm than good, and after the Mu Party was eliminated just now, in order to avoid following in the footsteps of the minister, the minister thinks that the cabinet system needs to be abolished."

Just when the ministers were arguing endlessly and there was still no result, Xie Chongning proposed to abolish the cabinet system, which caused an uproar among the ministers and began another controversy.

In the end, this matter still did not come to a conclusion.

In the next few days, everyone debated whether to depose the cabinet system, and in the end, the emperor made a decision to abolish the cabinet system, and there was no longer a situation where one person was dominant, and the power was scattered but mutually restricted.

As soon as this remark came out, no one refuted it anymore, and they all acquiesced.

In their opinion, after the incident of Mu Heyun, it is beneficial for them to disperse power, and now the emperor's decision cannot be described as unholy.

After a while, everyone began to raise the question of the vacancy of the prime minister, the emperor appointed Xie Chongning as the prime minister, and some other courtiers who had contributed to the process of this rehabilitation were all promoted to official positions.

Everyone was dissatisfied with this decision, saying that he was young and unsuitable to be the prime minister, and the emperor asked who was suitable, but everyone did not say a more suitable candidate, but the emperor pulled out Xie Chongning's previous achievements and convinced everyone, which calmed down the controversy.
