"Don't panic, tell me, what's going on?"

Su Chen spoke in a deep voice, his tone was calm, giving people great confidence.

The little eunuch only felt that he must be in his heart, and hearing the emperor's words was like taking a reassuring pill, and the panic and anxiety in his heart eased slightly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the hundred officials who were ordered by you to think behind closed doors for three days a few days ago gathered in the officials before a stick of incense ......"

The little eunuch was stumbling, his expression was entangled, he seemed to have never seen such a thing in his life.

Guo Sikong frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Hmm? Gather in the ministry, what are you doing?"

"The officials said that they were old and frail, unable to deal with their own affairs, and wanted to return to their hometowns, so they left their official seals and court clothes in the ministry. ”

The little eunuch cried and kowtowed: "After the slave received the news, all the officials have left the yamen of the ministry, and I heard that they went back to the house to pack their bags. ”

When the officials in the Taihe Hall heard this, they suddenly realized.

It is obvious that the hundred officials are using another way to force the palace, express their dissatisfaction, and go on a collective strike.

"What a guts!"

Guo Sikong couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "This group of rebel ministers actually dared to resign en masse, who approved it? What do the people in the Ministry of Officials do?"

"Guo Sikong ......"

The little eunuch said quietly: "The people in the Ministry of Officials have also resigned, there are only a few miscellaneous servants in the entire Ministry of Officials, and all the people in the four divisions of the Ministry have resigned......

The officials who oversaw the appointment, dismissal, assessment, and promotion of the grassroots officials of the Great Xia Dynasty have all been emptied, who cares about this?

"It's not just that the people in the Ministry of Officials are gone, the slaves got the news, and the people in the other five departments, except for the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the Shilang of the Household Ministry, the Shilang of the Ministry of Works, and the Shilang of the Ministry of Rites...... All the other officials of the six ministries, big and small, have resigned!"

The words of the little eunuch shocked the entire court.

Obviously, this was the instruction of Chen Situ and Wang Sima! This was the joint resistance of their two major interest groups and the Shi clan!

Without the nods of these two major interest groups, the officials would not have had the courage to do so, let alone resign in such concerted efforts.

The core power class of the Great Xia Dynasty is about less than 300 people, counting the other large and small officials on duty in the six ministries and some grassroots officials in the imperial capital, the total number of people exceeds 2,000!

The six parts are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Soldiers, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, assessment, and promotion of officials; the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of land and household registration, taxation and finance; the Ministry of Rites is in charge of ceremonies, science, and schools; the Ministry of Military Affairs is in charge of the military; the Criminal Department is in charge of judicial and criminal prisons; and the Ministry of Industry is in charge of engineering construction and water conservancy in Tuntian.

The largest official of each ministry is Shangshu, the deputy is Shilang, there is Langzhong, the deputy title is Wailang, and the subordinate officials are in charge......

It can be said that the six ministries are the central cadres of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the three dukes are the important ministers who coordinate and control this political system.

Putting aside Guo Sikong's faction personnel, although the number of resignations has not yet been reported, everyone can estimate it.

At least more than 1,000 people have resigned!

Guo Sikong was silent, and even Shang Ying frowned, not knowing what to say.

The hundred officials looked at each other, silent, and didn't dare to breathe, or even dare to look up at the emperor.

How good is that?

The emperor just let them think about it behind closed doors for three days, which is not a big deal, and it will delay the efficiency of government affairs for three days at most.

But now, two-thirds of the officials in the imperial capital of the entire Great Xia Dynasty have resigned!

This is a fierce counterattack, if it were an ordinary emperor, he would have panicked a long time ago.

The officials in the Taihe Hall did not dare to speak, they felt that the emperor was already on the verge of anger, and if the emperor was angry at the beginning, it would not hurt.

But now it is different, the emperor has mastered military power and a mysterious legendary realm master.

The king wants his ministers to die, looking at the entire imperial capital, which courtier can not die?

"At the beginning, hundreds of officials jointly asked for their lives, and His Majesty was merciful and forgave their sins, but this group of people really didn't know what to do!

Guo Sikong held back for a long time before he could hold back such a sentence.

Now, he doesn't know what to do.

The emperor did not deal with these officials in a big way under the great offense of the hundred officials, in order to stabilize the court, but Chen Situ and Wang Sima calculated the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor didn't dare to do it?

Well, we'll do it for you!

Two-thirds of the officials in the entire imperial capital have resigned, and there is no one under them, I think you have great ability, how can you turn the tables?

If you want to hold the imperial power, the most important thing is that you must have enough officials to do things for you.

The institutions of the Great Xia Dynasty were very large, and their affairs were chaotic, and it was a very disadvantageous thing not to have a large number of excellent officials to support them.

If this matter is not handled well, not to mention that the reform of the law cannot be carried out smoothly, the entire Great Xia Dynasty will be in turmoil; if there is no one to handle government affairs, what will happen to the rebellion of the Eight Kings in the country?

Who will mobilize food and grass for the army, who will manage the treasury, and who will manage the replacement and construction of ordnance and equipment.......

Just when the atmosphere in the Taihe Hall was silent and weird, and everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to breathe, Su Chen smiled.

"According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, those who resign should report to the officials and state the reasons, and they can only leave their posts after handing over affairs, and the squire and above officials must inform me of the reasons for their resignation. ”

"I can't imagine that the officials are so anxious that they want to leave their posts at all costs, is it because I, the emperor, make them feel cold, or are they really unable to continue to hold their positions?"

Su Chen's voice was indifferent, and he couldn't hear the slightest anger.

No one dared to answer Su Chen's words, and after half a ring, Su Chen said lightly: "Where is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department?"

"The minister is here. ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly came out, he was an official of Guo Sikong's faction, and he was also one of the few officials in the six ministries who did not join the tide of resignation.

"According to the laws of Great Xia, how should this group of officials who resign deal with it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the law, they are considered to have left office without reason, and they will be dismissed without the approval of the officials, and they will be punished: they will never be hired within three generations of the three clans. ”

The secretary of the criminal department replied cautiously: "If the loss caused by his departure is huge, he should be punished again." ”

If it leads to some huge negative effects after leaving office, such as the departure of the household department and the military department, it leads to the failure of reinforcement scheduling, and the delivery of grain and grass is not timely, so that the front-line war fails...... It is not just a punishment of never hiring within three generations, but a punishment of raiding the family and exterminating the family.

After finishing speaking, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly closed his mouth and waited for His Majesty's will.

Everyone can see that Your Majesty is going to punish the officials who resigned.

More than 1,000 people resigned en masse, and they were all officials of the imperial capital!

This is ridiculous!

From the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty to today, there has never been such a thing!

Everyone was silent, even Guo Sikong was a little at a loss, but Shang Ying's eyes flickered thoughtfully.

Shang Ying's instincts told him that the emperor was not only angry..... It's a lot of fun!

Otherwise, with the temper of the emperor, it is not impossible for the king to be angry, and the imperial capital will be full of blood.
