Huchi's face didn't look easy. He and the other members sat on either side, listlessly listening to the second duke's opinion.

"Let's talk about the redundancy plan first," Wan Heshun wiped the beads of sweat from his head, raised his head and said, "It was discussed a few years ago, right?" Hu Shangshu, you have a good memory, I don't know if you still remember the situation at that time? ”

Huchi tried his best to lift his spirits: "I remember. At first, it was decided to reduce the number of officials, but later, it ...... Officials have also laid off quite a few. ”

Wan Heshun saw that he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly made a round: "At that time, Lord Ye was also present, and he was able to suppress the situation, so he came up with such a result; Of course, the past life was different from the past, and that method is no longer suitable for today. ”

He continued: "In my opinion, it is in the opinion of the people that the redundancy should be cut according to the wishes of the people, and if we are allowed to do what we want, I am afraid that complaints will be everywhere, and it will be inappropriate. Therefore, idle officials, harsh officials, and lawless people in the army should be dismissed first, so as to conform to the will of the people. ”

"Back then, the big whistleblowing was very effective," said an official of the Wandang Party, "do you think you should ...... it?"

Wan He waved his hand and blocked his thoughts: "Although the report can arrest many people, the effect can be called remarkable, but at the same time, it is easy to wronged good people." Let me make it clear to you, now that the Son of Heaven is stationed, the movement must not be too big, and it is still mainly based on the stability of Nanjing. Such a resolute strategy, this official does not use it. Lu Gong, what do you think? ”

Lu Fangxuan knew that this county king was afraid of the power of the Liu Party and did not dare to make any earth-shaking changes. But judging from his understanding of this person, if he really wants to taste the sweetness of party strife, he will not give up easily.

It's better to agree than to refuse, Lu Fangxuan echoed repeatedly: "I have the same idea as Huizhi. ”

"This problem is solved, and we need to talk about who needs protection to prevent Zhongliang from being wronged." Wan Heshun said that, and immediately glanced at Hu Qi.

Lu Fangxuan knew very well what the mystery was, he just stroked his beard lightly and smiled without saying a word.

Hu Qi hesitated for a moment before replying, "Wei Chong...... Wei Shuban, he has made great efforts in cutting redundancy before, and such a cadre should not be suspected. ”

Most of the people present were all from the Wan Dang, and everyone looked at each other and smiled, and none of them pretended to be surprised or made a noise, and the room was silent.

Of course, Lu Fangxuan knew it, after all, this was the same as he imagined, and Wei Chong's position in the party struggle had become indispensable.

Everything was leading to the struggle between them, but Lu Fangxuan was not angry, or anxious, but smiled at Wan Heshun, and laughed fiercely: "What Hu Shangshu said is so wow!" Wei Shuban can't be classified as a redundant official, he is a powerful man. Fang Xuan thought that it was a pity that such a person was not promoted, so it was better to appoint him to preside over the overall situation of redundancy, how about Hui Zhiyi? ”

"Wan Mou has this intention! I didn't expect this negotiation to be so successful, and it was negotiated in just half an hour. There is nothing to make amends, and I will write an official letter tomorrow to inform the divisions of the new proposal. Wan Heshun smiled with satisfaction, he stood up, clapped his hands, and stretched out his hand in front of Lu Fangxuan, "Come, Brother Xian, celebrate!" ”

Lu Fangxuan slowly stood up, looked at Wan Heshun with four eyes, raised his rough hands, and shouted: "Everyone, see it, Brother Wan and I are one heart!" One heart! ”

This 'no silver three hundred taels here' type of response not only did not make Wan Heshun feel ashamed, but also fell into his arms, and both of them laughed.

They smiled frighteningly, and their eyes were not filled with the harmony of sworn brothers, but with the fierce light of a wild beast. They are finally freed from their broken alliance and are once again in the madness of partisanship.

This result is very wonderful for all three parties. Liu Dang was able to watch the fire from the other side, Wan Lu was able to fight for a while, and now Wei Chong can make a lot of money. This was the first day of his execution, and he was crossing his legs, holding the list of officials in one hand and turning the ink-stained brush in the other, reviewing each name on it.

In his down-and-out days, if anyone made him hate the most, it was none other than the initiator - Jiang Tian's inspection. But he stood in Ye Yongjia's protective circle, and he only suffered a loss for what he did. He turned the page helplessly, his eyes lowered as he swept over the names that didn't matter, and his boredom swelled like a flood.

"Master Wei," the scribe next to him asked, perhaps this title would make him feel better, "I haven't found anyone yet......

"It's not your turn to speak," Wei Chong made a cold face, "it's best to keep your mouth shut." ”

The man did so.

Wei Chong was distracted by this, and accidentally pressed the pen on the roster and drew a black dot on it. He was in a hurry, but he saw the name of the person on the black spot: 'The inspection department captures Ma Si......

"What is this Ma Si?" Wei Chong was furious when he saw the inspection department, and asked sharply.

The scribe took a few steps closer, glanced at it, and said, "I remember that this person is by Jiang Tian's side, and he is very important, and it seems that he is about to be promoted." ”

"I can't cure the inspection, can't I cure him......" Wei Chong gritted his teeth and hooked his pen, "This guy has to die first!" ”

"How do you want to kill him?" The little official asked with a wicked smile.

"Call him first," Wei Chong put his legs down on the table, "and see what he can do......"

Jiang Tian happened to be in the inspection department, when he saw a soldier roll in the curtain, and knelt on the ground to report: "Lord Jiang, there is a small official who asks to see him, saying that Wei Shuban has an order to call the horse catcher into the yamen." ”

Ma Si was next to him, his face was covered with a beard, and he had a pair of thick arms bare, and his appearance was extremely strong.

"Tell him," Ma Si shouted, "he's just a minion in the yamen, not bullshit!" Where did you come from to summon the master! Lord Ye is no longer there, so he thinks he is the prefect? ”

Without waiting for Jiang Tian's persuasion, the man had already gone down. After a while, the man went back and forth: "The little official said that Wei Shuban was redundant by the two adults, Wan and Lu, and he has the right to call anyone. He also said that this matter was decided by the emperor's sacredness, and if he refused to go, it should be regarded as a resentment. ”

"Damn, lift the emperor out and scare me!" Ma Siyi patted his chest, "I'm not afraid of him yet!" Go and go, what does that kid dare to do with me! ”

Inspector Jiang wanted to hold him, but just as his hand was about to stretch out, he slowly retracted.

"Be careful." He only said one word, and let Ma Si rush out of the house.

"Fourth Master Ma is here!"

When Wei Chong heard this roar, he was so frightened that he got up from his chair, and when he saw the figure of the big man from the window, he was a little apprehensive.

'A ruffian, a bastard...... What am I panicking about? Wei Chong didn't want to show his timidity, straightened his collar, rubbed his face, coughed three times, and pretended to make a sharp voice: "Let him in." ”
