"Hmph, you said that you want to cut civil officials and officials, and you have to abolish official families? Which officials should be abolished and should be kept, is it all up to your mouth! The military department was the first to stand up against Qi Zhi's opinion.

"You've been speaking ill of me from the beginning...... Do you want to talk about it anymore? In order to save face for Lu Fangxuan, Qi Zhi was so forbearant that he almost broke his front teeth.

"You don't pay attention to a word, and you don't allow me to refute it? Obviously with selfish intentions, but he kept saying that it was for the sake of Nanjing......" The military department sneered again.

"Whoever has selfish intentions will not die well!" Qi Zhi's eyes were shining with a cold light, and he glared at everyone angrily, which made Na Shangshu a little afraid.

The officials discussed for a long time, but they only quarreled in vain, and they didn't see any progress, and they all muttered secretly, like a meditating monk, which made the whole hall fall into a cold silence.

Ye Yongjia must not sit still. He is now regarded by Wan and Lu as the key figures in regulating the court, and he should resolutely stand up at this time to eliminate the crisis.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, pausing in his throat in full view of the public, "since there is such a great disagreement, it is better to put this discussion on hold for the time being, and to put a temporary peaceful policy on hold first, and then to discuss the rest of the matter slowly, so as to show the people that we are sincere in considering this matter and appeasing the people's feelings." According to the opinion of this government, the number of low-level officials should be reduced first, and everyone does not disagree, right? ”

"Can Yue Fu be pursued?"

"Needless to say, the old man does not favor his own people." Lu Fangxuan said softly.

Qi Shi pursed his lips and muttered reluctantly, "Listen to Lord Ye's words......"

Even Qi Zhi, who was the most emotional, nodded and spoke, and everyone had no complaints, and they all agreed. Seeing that things were going well, Wan Heshun wrote an official document, which made the officials present list, and transcribed a copy on the spot, which was put in the palace for storage.

After the officials dispersed, Wan Heshun left Hu Qi alone, and said to him: "Let the people know about this matter earlier, you can take the official document now and hand it over to Wei Chong to go out and post it." ”

"Wei Chong?"

"That's right, it's him. Let him also be prepared, the real show is about to come on stage......" Wan Heshun smiled coldly.

Ye Yongjia went out of the palace city, and just arrived at the noon gate, he saw Qi Shi and Lu Fangxuan standing there, talking something.

He tugged at the collar of his coat and walked over with his head down, but he happened to hear Qi Shi say, "Brother Lu, who proposed this...... So ignorant of current affairs......"

Ye Yongjia's feet froze.

"A famous man I promoted in the past is called Wei Huai, and no one else in the world dares to do this except him." Lu Fangxuan's afterglow fell on Ye Yongjia's body, and when he turned to look, he was already gone.

Ye Yongjia did not go back to his mansion directly, but went straight to Guangsi Altar. He went in and knocked on the door of the bamboo house, but no one came to open it, and asked the pedestrians, only to know that Wei Huai was staying in the academy, so he hurriedly turned around and walked towards the academy.

Wei Huai rocked his deck chair and closed his eyes under the courtyard. It seems to be leisurely, but as it slowly closes in, a sad face appears in front of me. His brow tightened, and suddenly, the tip of his brow jumped—he heard the sound of a man's boot on the floor.

"Coming?" Wei Huai didn't have to guess, after all, there were only two people in the academy now.

"I'll get you a cup of tea. On a cold day, my brother is the leader of the alliance, so it's best to warm up. ”

As soon as Wei Huai opened his eyes, he saw Xia Yuanlong holding a bowl of tea and handing it to him. He reached out and took a sip of it. "This cup of tea reminds me of the days when I was with Brother Yang."

"That's right," Xia Yuanlong sighed, "I was under this courtyard at the time." What was discussed is still fresh in my mind. ”

"Force the King of Wanjun to implement my academy system." Wei Huai said.

"It's all come ...... short," Xia Yuanlong looked up to the sky and sighed, "Since then, in order to compile the "Xingyao", our will, confidence, and enthusiasm have been polished little by little, and the academy will never return to its former grandeur...... It's sad. ”

"This time I'm ......"

Wei Huaizheng was halfway through speaking, but somehow, he suddenly stopped talking again and drank his tea.

"Governor Ye? What are you doing here? ”

Wei Huai heard Xia Yuanlong speak towards the door, and couldn't help but raise his head, and saw Ye Yongjia wearing a single robe, holding an official robe in his hand, and strode over.

"Mr. Wei, did you propose a way to reduce redundant officials?" Ye Yongjia sat aside, panting, and asked anxiously.

Wei Huai was shocked in his heart, and immediately sat up: "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”

"If I knew this, I wouldn't have helped them mediate, and let them kill each other......" Ye Yongjia said with a thump of his chest.

"What do you mean? I didn't even get it. Mr. Wei clasped his hands and forced his composure, beads of sweat the size of beans swept between his fingers.

"Here's the thing, I just went to the palace to discuss your policy of cutting redundant officials, I thought it was made by those people in the Wan Party, and I thought it was better to be careful. Therefore, he did not dare to be biased, for fear of offending all parties, so he adopted the method of neutralization; Who would have thought that this is the good government you have advised the people and the society! If it had been discussed directly, it would have been the thief of the two families, but if it continues like this, I am afraid it will only turn into a fight, which is really ashamed of Mr. ......"

"It doesn't matter, Lord Prefect, our alliance leader has already taken this into account, since he has made up his mind, what is the shame!" Xia Yuanlong stepped forward to persuade.

"Wait." Wei Huai stood up tremblingly with one hand on the vine crutches, while the other hand shook uneasily.

"My reform...... I can't let them misbehave, I ...... I'm going to take it back. He swayed, his voice shaking.

Xia Yuanlong raised his head slightly, "Are you crazy?" He asked in an extremely low tone.

Wei Huai was silent and turned his back. He thought that his book could cause hundreds, if not thousands, of people to suffer in party struggles—that it was destined to become an accomplice to one side or the other.

It was not that he was overly critical of his own morality, but that the perfect image of the Lord of the Guardian League in the hearts of the people was unshakable, so that he himself was too afraid of falling from the altar.

"Can you," Wei Huai looked at Xia Yuanlong again, "Tell them to stop fighting?" ”

Xia Yuanlong felt that it was funny, so he laughed and said, "How can Brother Hemin say such ridiculous things!" Have they ever been merciful? ”

"No, no," Wei Huai shouted twice, "Lu Fangxuan is the one who promoted me, and he is very kind to me, and he should help me reform...... I will go to him and intercede with him, so that he can simply lay off redundant officials on the spot, so that the party will not disagree. ”

"Mr. Wei, I don't think he looks like a person with a conscience, you have to be on guard." Ye Yongjia didn't dare to stop him, and persuaded him euphemistically.

He didn't respond, and walked to the door step by step, Xia Yuanlong was busy trying to stop him with something, but Wei Huai pushed back with a scap.
