Everything seems to be back to business as usual again!

The next day, a notice from the imperial court was posted in the capital!

Hundreds of people, looking at the content of the notice, showed unbelievable expressions!

Then, the news spread ten, ten to hundred! Soon it swept the entire capital!

He Weixin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, plus the other seven servants of the Ministry of Rites, embezzled nearly 20 million taels of silver from the treasury!

It sounds magical!

If it weren't for the emperor's handwritten seal under the notice, who would have believed that such a thing would have happened?

Of course, Emperor Qian did not write all the things, but pushed all the matter on the ministers of the Ministry of Rites.

As for the other officials in the court, they didn't say a word!

This is Emperor Qiandi saving face for them, and he is also deliberately giving them a chance to mend their ways!

Therefore, all these crimes are borne by the ministers of the Ministry of Rites!

Anyway, these people are all dead, and no one will have an opinion if you push them on!

It's just that the shock caused by this proclamation among the literati was even more intense!

In the teahouses, restaurants, and green buildings everywhere, many literati have made long speeches on this matter!

beat their chests one by one, and the look seemed to be extremely painful!

Inside the Wanhua Building.

Zhao Qi was drinking in the box on the second floor at this time, and Miss Zhaodi was sitting on the bed.

The latter looked at him, his face was a little indescribably calm.

Compared with the appearance of jumping off the building last time, it seems to have eased down.

"Tomorrow is the time to unveil the list, what you promised me, don't you regret it."

After a while, Miss Zhaodi spoke.

Zhao Qi took a sip of wine, stood up, walked in front of her and hugged her directly into his arms.

"I've already thought about it, even if I, Zhao Qi, can't make any achievements in this big exam, it doesn't matter."

"Even if I am penniless, I will take you out of here, as long as you don't dislike me for being poor."

Since the last time Lin Yiqiu had carried out some ideological construction, Zhao Qi had less hesitation and hesitation.

At this time, he had already made a decision in his heart.

If you really didn't get any fame when the list was announced, then you left the capital with Miss Zhaodi generously.

The world is so big, I don't believe that there is no place to stay! Where is not home?

Miss Zhaodi's face suddenly showed a little smile.

"If you don't bear me, I will die for you, if you don't bear me, I don't want this life."

Miss Zhaodi can be said to be quite infatuated with Zhao Qi, and basically recognized him alone!

Zhao Qi nodded firmly, there are women who are so infatuated with themselves, what is there to be cowardly about themselves?

When the two of them were warming up, they only heard a burst of noise from downstairs, which was extremely noisy.

Although there are many ordinary guests in Wanhualou, most of them are very quiet literati and basically do not make much noise.

But at this time, the voice below is really noisy.

Zhao Qi was puzzled in his heart, and told Zhao Di to have a good rest, and pushed open the door and went downstairs alone.

As soon as he walked to the stairs, his friend Jiang Yanchang greeted him, and his face was still very secretive!

"Big deal! What a big deal! It's a big event that shocked the entire capital! ”

"What can happen?"

Zhao Qi's face was suspicious.

A few days ago, I heard that all the senior members of the Ministry of Rites were killed, which was already quite shocking, what else can be a big deal now?

Before he could think about it, others were pulled down by Jiang Yanchang!

A bunch of literati were arguing back and forth in front of the table, and the emotions of each one could be said to be extremely excited!

Jiang Yanchang pulled Zhao Qi to sit down in front of a table before approaching him to speak.

"Today, there is a notice in the capital, and those officials of the Ministry of Rites are innocent! His Majesty even ordered all the staff to raid the house! ”

"What? And what's going on? ”

Zhao Qi's face was stunned.

Prior to this, he had only heard that because of the death of the senior member of the Ministry of Rites, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the civil and military officials were said to be still forcing the palace in the palace, so that the emperor could give them an explanation.

And the superintendent of Xichang, who was the murderer, also became the finger of Qianfu, and almost all the court officials wanted him to die!

In such a situation, they literati basically have the same opinion as the officials.

Although there were many people who applauded the eunuch's move, thinking that he was removing the scourge for the imperial court!

But more people still think that this is completely disrupting the law and order of the great cadres!

The Ministry of Rites, as well as seven attendants, could be killed by a eunuch, which is a unique thing in the entire history of the Qianguo!

But listening to Jiang Yanchang at this time, it seems that there are still many secrets behind this!

Why? Those of the Ministry of Rites committed a felony? ”

Zhao Qi immediately thought of a possibility, frowned and asked.

Jiang Yanchang nodded.

"You're right! What a felony! ”

"According to the notice, those officials of the Ministry of Rites, in total, embezzled nearly 20 million taels of silver from the treasury!"

"Your Majesty is furious! That's where the reaction is now! ”

When the words fell, Zhao Qi's whole person was still in a state of confusion.

"Good fellow, twenty million taels! That sounds too sensational! ”

He gasped.

He is a poor scholar, and he has never even seen two thousand taels of silver in his life, let alone twenty million taels! That's a lot he couldn't imagine!

And this money is still going out of the treasury! Therefore, it is even more shocking!

"If that's the case, these ministers of the Ministry of Rites really deserve to die! I can't imagine that I can do such a crazy thing! ”

"Twenty million taels! That's life-saving money for many people! ”

Zhao Qi frowned slightly.

So much silver, and all of it is in the treasury, is prepared for the possibility of disasters in various places.

The Ministry of Rites dared to embezzle so much, but it simply didn't take the people seriously.

Who in the world can not be resentful in their hearts? Even scholars like them think that all the members of the Ministry of Rites should be killed!

And if this is the case, the eunuch killed is quite relieved!

Zhao Qi thought as he picked up the teacup and drank tea.

At this moment, on the table not far in front of him, a scholar wearing a scarf raised his hand, greeted the people around him, and then looked worried.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I heard that the reason why all the members of the Ministry of Rites were killed this time was because of the emperor's secret will!"

"Actually, that eunuch didn't do it himself! It was the emperor who instructed behind his back! It's because the emperor can't stand it for a long time, and the Ministry of Rites is so corrupt! That's why I cleaned them up ruthlessly! ”

This sentence immediately set off a ripple around.

There are those who agree, and there are those who disagree.

Those who agreed felt that the emperor was planning and thinking about the country's society.

People who disagree think that this is nonsense at all, the emperor wants to kill people, why should he be so obscure? Still need to send eunuchs to do it?

Isn't it the same to take down the house and cut off the head directly?
