When Fang Xiu heard this, he was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

I wondered if she had recently read a book about a domineering master falling in love with me.

How did she say such a shameful word?

On second thought, it seems that many martial arts scripts also have similar sentences.

In any case, this sentence made Fang Xiu deeply realize that Tang Rou, a patient with advanced secondary and secondary diseases, was most likely completely hopeless.

"Ahem......

Fang Xiu originally wanted to talk to her about the lines, such as "With you, I will feel at ease" or something like that, but just thinking about it, I felt my scalp tingle, and in the end I couldn't say it, I just smiled and said, "I believe in your ability, and I also believe in your consciousness, give you a day to transfer the affairs of the first village in Jinnan City to your subordinates, and then report to the prime minister, from now on, wherever the prime minister goes, you will follow."

Tang Rou looked serious, nodded solemnly, and turned to leave.

Fang Xiu looked at her back, remembering what she had said before, and some doubts suddenly rose in his heart.

This girl in the late stage of secondary two disease, is she really as powerful as Shangguan Haitang said?

The world's first sword ...... It's kind of strange to hear.

That's it.

Now that the decision has been made, stop thinking about it.

After all, don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people.

Fang Xiu thought so, and lay back on the dragon couch, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Meanwhile.

In the Wenyuan Pavilion not far from the Qianqing Palace.

There are a few Taishi chairs in the warm pavilion.

Several cabinet scholars sat on the Taishi's chair with sad expressions.

The stoves are placed everywhere, exuding bursts of warmth.

But the hearts of the cabinet scholars were cold.

"With so many officials dismissed at once, and among them there are also second- and third-grade officials, no matter how they are disposed of, even if they are given more silver, it will inevitably cause turmoil!"

Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, and also the new head of the household department Zhang Xinyuan worried.

Side.

Guo Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who replaced Wei Dongzheng as a scholar of Dongge University, echoed:

"Yes, don't say anything else, let's just say that Gao Gong, who has just served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has many protégés in the imperial court, and he is very old, just because he didn't go out of the city to greet him, he was asked to return to his hometown, which will definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction, if his protégés make trouble, what should I do?"

"Of these dismissed officials, who didn't have many friends in the court? When they are dismissed, there must be a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, and if they unite with hundreds of officials and send them together, we will be unable to ride a tiger at that time."

"As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the officials who have not been affected this time also know in their hearts that this is a dismount, and if they give in easily, they will be fish and meat on the board in the future, and they will be slaughtered by others, so they will never give up."

There was a lot of discussion among the scholars, and what they said was nothing more than an argument.

That is, if so many officials are dismissed at once, there will definitely be chaos.

There is no doubt that what they are talking about is not only what the officials think, but also their own thoughts.

Those who can be cabinet scholars, which one is not the human spirit of the human spirit, the old fox of the old fox.

As soon as Li Yingyue and Fang Xiu came back, they smelled the smell of the coming storm.

In particular, the establishment of the so-called Great Cadres and the Great Zhou Council of Ministers made them even more uneasy.

Because for them, this big cadre is too familiar with the Great Zhou Council of Ministers!

Isn't this what the Cabinet was like when it was first created?

Although this so-called Council of Ministers only serves as a liaison between the two courts.

However, as long as you look at the candidates for the Minister of Parliament, you can clearly know that this is an existence that is above the Great Qianzhong Shu Province and the Great Zhou Cabinet!

If everything is fulfilled Fang Xiu's wish, from now on, won't the cabinet scholars be useless?

In the entire imperial court, I am afraid that only Xie Qian, the council member of the Council of Ministers, can influence the final decision of the regent.

Therefore.

Part of what they said about "all officials working together" and "causing turmoil" were their own thoughts, and the purpose was to confront Fang Xiu and express their dissatisfaction.

Xie Qian, the head of the cabinet who sat in the first seat, listened to everyone's discussion and remained silent.

until the crowd is quiet.

He raised his eyes to look around at everyone, and then picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip, looking unhurried.

When the other scholars saw this scene, they glanced at each other, and they could all see a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Elder Xie Ge, now that the court is in charge, you can also say something."

Guo Kui, a scholar of Dongge University, looked anxious and spoke.

Side.

Zhang Xinyuan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, echoed: "Pavilion Elder, now you are the only one who can speak to the regent, and you should also tell the regent what the ministers think.

The current peace of the imperial court is not easy to come by, and it cannot be destroyed all at once, even if the regent wants to rectify the rule of officials, he should plan it slowly, and he should not rush it for a while......

Speaking of this, seeing that Xie Qian still looked indifferent, he gritted his teeth and raised his voice, "Ge Lao! The Emperor's lesson is right in front of you! How can you be in such a hurry about such an important matter!"

As soon as this remark came out.

Xie Qian's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and his seemingly cloudy eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light, looking straight at Zhang Xinyuan.

Rao is accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, Wenyuan Pavilion scholar and Hubu Shangshu, in the face of such sharp eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and subconsciously looked away.

This time.

Elder Xie Qian's voice sounded slowly.

"What you say and what you think in your heart, the old man understands everything, you think that the old man has won the position of the council member, and he has nothing to do with you, and his mind is full of only how to welcome the regent?

To tell you the truth, the old man, more than any of you, wants to dismiss so many people at once! You know, they are all pillars of the imperial court! All I have in my heart is the foundation of Da Zhou, but what can the old man do?

His Royal Highness the Regent has made it clear that no matter who it is, even if it is a member of the first rank, if he commits a crime, he will bear the consequences! Do you think that the old man can be useful if he intercedes?

What the old man said to the Lord Regent does not weigh more than you!"

The voice fell.

Several cabinet members were silent.

They don't say anything with their mouths, but they all slander in their hearts.

If you can't speak to the regent, won't the court become a hall of the regent?

It's just that you are greedy for generosity, afraid that your own interests will be damaged, and you dare not speak up.

Xie Qian naturally knew what they were thinking, and then said, "What did you just say, don't be in a hurry, what do you say for fear that all the officials will go to the office together, and take the Emperor Taishang as an example...... In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that the current situation of the Emperor Taishang is inextricably linked to not listening to you, if the regent does not listen to you, and comes against you, you can also use the same as if to deal with the regent, or the same set of old methods, yang and yin.

But the old man warned you that the regent is different from the emperor, if the hundred officials are together, the emperor will take into account the history books to record such a stroke, but the regent will not, if you dare to send the prince together, he will dare to agree, and then add Enke, promote new people, and even use the people and jinshi of the Qianguo.

Don't think that the regent doesn't dare to do this, just a year ago, the regent did something similar in Qianguo, and anyone who offends the regent will not end well in the end, and there is only a dead end for the regent!"

These words were extremely harsh.

Tell them almost explicitly.

If you dare to mess around

Come, you have to be ready to be rectified together!

Several cabinet scholars glanced at each other, their faces showing hesitation.

They naturally know about the affairs of Qianguo.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Qianguo is up and down, and only Fang Xiu's order is obeyed.

This is not something that can be done simply by imposing favors.

The regent must have used thunderous means to achieve such a result.

The year before last, Qianguogui, one of the three dukes and the head of the military attaché, was imprisoned in the prison on trumped-up charges because he collided with Fang Xiu in the court, and he has not been released yet.

It can be seen from this that the regent is not afraid of you coming with him.

It's just that......

Qianguo is Qianguo.

The state of Zhou is the state of Zhou.

The regent has a solid foundation in the Qianguo and dares to do so.

When you come to the Zhou Kingdom, do you dare to use the same means?

He is not afraid of the changes that will cause him, and in the end he will make trouble to the point where he can't end it?

Thinking so, the scholars heard Xie Qiandao:

"The old man knows that no matter what the old man says, you will think that the old man is for the sake of his position as a council member and the head of the cabinet, and he does not dare to reason with the regent.

The old man doesn't want to defend himself, just think so, but the old man wants to warn you that the regent attaches great importance to the dismissal, and within one day, the list of dismissed officials must be listed, and no one can be left out, and it must be disposed of within three days!

The old man can't control how they make trouble, but you'd better keep to yourself!

If you want to get involved in this troubled water, no matter what happens, don't go to the old man's front and ask the old man to save you!

Everybody...... That's all I can say, and I will be blessed."

Xie Qian's face was solemn, and he said seriously.

When several cabinet scholars heard this, they all fell silent.

The stove was still glowing.

Outside the window, there was the sound of a cold wind howling.

but the temple was quiet.

I don't know how long it took.

Zhang Xinyuan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, said slowly, "Let's draw up the list first."

Several other scholars responded.

"Just do what Elder Xie Ge and Elder Zhang Ge said."

In an hour's time, a list was sent to the Qianqing Palace, Fang Xiu's hands.

After Fang Xiu read it, he picked up the brush, dipped it in vermilion, and drew a hook on it.

Soon.

The list was sent back to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Under the leadership of Xie Qian, the secretary of the ministry, the cabinet scholars quickly discussed the plan for the dismissal of the officials.

It had been two hours since this plan was delivered to Fang Xiu.

It's getting dark.

Fang Xiu took the candle lamp and looked at it carefully, and didn't find any messy tricks, so he criticized it again.

The plan was sent back to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Xie Qian stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw the red, he raised his eyes to look at several scholars, and said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has approved the red, and then let's do it according to the plan drawn up."

"Yes, Elder Xie Ge."

Several scholars sighed in their hearts and agreed.

............

Night.

The snow is still falling.

It's just that it's much smaller than before.

The cold weather made the ground a thin layer of ice.

If you step on it, you have to be very careful, and if you are not careful, you will slip.

The official of the ministry walked out of the palace with the paperwork in his hand, and hurried to a mansion somewhere in the city.

When I arrived at my destination, I was already bruised and swollen.

"A letter from the Ministry of Officials to Master Gao!"

The official knocked on the door, looked at the porter, and said.

The concierge was woken up at night, originally dissatisfied, but when he heard the two words of the ministry, he instantly sobered up

came over, didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and said busily: "You wait, the little one will go and tell you."

"Yes...... It's an important matter, go quickly."

The officials trembled and their voices trembled.

"Good!"

The porter walked away quickly.

After a stick of incense, he returned to the gate, looked at the official officer, and said, "The little one will take you to see the master."

Followed by.

The two of them walked through the corridor and pavilion one after the other, and came to the front of the house.

"Master, the man has arrived."

The porter spoke.

There was a sound of vicissitudes in the house.

"Come in."

"Yes."

The porter gently pushed the door in.

The messenger stepped inside.

There is a fireplace in the house.

The errand officer, who was shivering from the cold, immediately warmed up as soon as he entered the house, and his voice became much calmer, and he lowered his voice and said, "Lord Gao, this is a secret letter from Elder Xie Ge to you, you must burn it after reading it."

The so-called tall man is Gao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

He is the highest-ranking and highest-ranking in this dismissal turmoil.

It also had a certain influence in the imperial court.

"Elder Xie Ge's secret letter?"

When Gao Yu heard this, his heart sank, he reached out and took the letter, and after opening it, he looked at it from top to bottom.

The more he looked, the tighter his brow wrinkled, and the heavier his heart became.

After reading it, it has sunk to the bottom.

The content of the letter shocked him and made him feel angry.

At his age, he was asked to return to his hometown just because he didn't brave the snow to greet the regent.

Where in the world is there such a ridiculous thing?

Her Majesty the Empress and the regent are not afraid of leaving a name for themselves in the history books?

Not afraid of being spurned by readers?

Not afraid of being called a faint king, a female cadre?

Gao Yu was annoyed for a while, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down.

The purpose of Xie Qian's letter to him was simple.

is to let him return to his hometown with peace of mind, don't think about causing trouble, otherwise he may not even be able to save the lives of the family.

The words are very earnest.

Already close to pleading.

Xie Qian is his classmate and friend for many years.

The two participated in the imperial examination together and were admitted to the Jinshi together.

After so many years of ups and downs, the friendship is far beyond that of ordinary colleagues.

Thus.

Gao Yu knew in his heart that Xie Qian must have made a judgment when he sent him this secret letter.

This time, the regent is determined to make an example of the chickens!

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he is the one most likely to be killed!

He also knows that at this time, choosing to avoid its edge and return to his hometown with peace of mind is the best choice.

But he couldn't swallow this breath inexplicably!

A dry man is actually the regent of the Great Zhou, and he is so arbitrary!

As the pillar of the Great Zhou, how can he turn a blind eye and sit idly by!
