Xu Jing waved his hand and was expressionless: "I have my own measure." ”

Gonggong Cao couldn't resist Xu Jing, so he could only take the court clothes and change them for Xu Jing.

When Xu Jing rushed to the gate of the palace, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had gathered, just waiting for the Jinluan Palace to open.

"Kaichao!"

As the eunuchs shouted, these officials walked into the Jinluan Hall one by one.

"What is there to report today?"

Xu Jing asked absentmindedly sitting on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to report."

The newly promoted official Shangshu walked forward quickly and saluted.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Jing waved his hand and motioned for the officials to reply.

The official Shangshu glanced at Xu Jing and was a little afraid: "The minister doesn't dare to say." ”

"Just say, I won't be angry with you." Xu Jing, who was already entangled in troubles, scolded impatiently.

The official department was taken aback by Xu Jing's attitude, and knelt on the ground 1510 and replied: "Now there are five prefects, fourteen prefects, and seventy prefects in various parts of Daqian who have asked for resignation. ”

"Why do you want to resign?"

Xu Jing frowned and asked.

It is the first time since the establishment of the Great Cadres that so many officials have resigned at the same time.

You must know that this is an official who has already accounted for almost half of the cadres.

Once so many officials retire at the same time, it will be almost equivalent to a catastrophe for the precision machine of Daqian.

"Some officials resigned on the pretext of illness, some used Ding Wei as an excuse, and some officials were willing to flee to Buddhism to resign."

The secretary of the ministry reported all the reasons for the resignation of these officials.

"What is the real reason?"

Xu Jing knows very well that this matter is bound to be not so simple, and nine times out of ten it has something to do with the prime minister.

The secretary replied: "Actually, you and others are dissatisfied with His Majesty's handling of Prime Minister Xiao, so they use this to exert pressure. ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't want Lord Xiao to be reinstated, I'm afraid that there will only be a lot more people who will resign in the future."

"Now I have a lot of cadres all over the world, and there are hundreds of people from Prime Minister Xiao's disciple!"

"Most of these scholars are already court officials, if you continue to put Prime Minister Xiao under house arrest, I am afraid that it will provoke public anger."

The official Shangshu cautiously raised his head and looked at Xu Jing, whose face was like ashes, and said cautiously.

"What do you think?"

Xu Jing looked at the rest of the people expressionlessly, and neither agreed nor vetoed the proposal of the Ministry of Officials.

"Your Majesty, what you have seen. Why don't you forgive Prime Minister Xiao just like that? ”

"How to say it, Prime Minister Xiao is angry at the moment, and it is still unknown when he will be able to wake up."

"What if the prime minister is handed back? It's not worth your trouble. ”

The Ministry of Rites also walked out and said.

"A few adults are reasonable, now Prime Minister Xiao is no longer able to deal with the government, and His Majesty's pardon at this time can just change his reputation."

"In this way, in the future, officials from all over the country will also deeply feel Your Majesty's kindness, and they will be even more dedicated to serving the imperial court."

As Xu Jing's eyes fell on Lin Hai, Lin Hai also persuaded Xu Jing.

Lin Hai only felt that Xiao Daoling was no longer a threat to himself, and he was happy to be recognized by hundreds of officials in the imperial court, so he spoke.

"Okay, then I will pass on my will and pardon Xiao Daoling."

Xu Jing sighed slightly and spoke.

The reason why Xu Jing pardoned Xiao Daoling was naturally not because of what the hundred officials said, but for a while he thought of the child in Concubine Xiao's belly, and his heart softened.

"Your Majesty's benevolence will surely be admired by future generations!"

The official Shangshu nodded again and again, and said tensely.

This is the case. But what else? ”

Xu Jing waved his hand to interrupt everyone and asked complimentally.

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and no one seemed to speak.

"In that case, I have something to tell you."

Xu Jing nodded and said what had been prepared.

All of the officials looked solemn and trembling in an instant.

Every time Xu Jing spoke in person, nothing good happened.

For a while, the officials were panicked, secretly thinking about whether they had done something wrong recently.

There are even some officials who have an affair with their companions, constantly wiping the sweat on their foreheads, and constantly praying in their hearts that what Xu Jing is about to say is not this matter.

"I'm going to send an army to relieve the danger."

Xu Jing opened his mouth and was about to say his words.

When everyone heard what Xu Jing said had nothing to do with accompaniment, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Where's Cochin?"

"I heard that it's just a small border country."

"What does it matter to me to change in such a small place?"

But immediately afterward, they shouted to stop Xu Jing: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”

"Your Majesty, now that the rebels in the capital have not been eliminated, how can you rashly divide the army and go to a small border country?"

"That's right! The treasury is already empty, and if an army is sent on an expedition in this matter, it will be unfavorable to the people's hearts and the army's morale. ”

When they reacted, after Jiaozhi was, they all spoke up to reject Xu Jing's proposal, even Lin Hai was no exception.

"What? Do you think my decision was wrong? ”

"Cochin has always been a subject country of our great cadres. Is it possible for me to sit back and watch the decay of my subjects? ”

"If this is the case, where will the border country dare to surrender to the Great Cadre at will in the future?"

Xu Jing asked again and again with a cold face.

The officials present all looked at each other and did not know how to answer.

Because Cochin has indeed always been a subject country of Daqian.

Moreover, the tribute paid every year is very punctual, and there is no delay in it.

"Your Majesty, it's not for us who don't want to rush to the rescue. In fact, my big cadre is now empty in the treasury, and he can't come up with more money to help Jiaozhi. ”

"Why not wait a little longer? Wait until the rebels in the capital are relieved and then come to the aid of Jiaozhi. ”

Lin Hai said with a smile at this moment.

At the same time, he gestured to Lin Changhe with his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, now that there is only one and a half million taels in the treasury, where is such a sum of money enough for an expedition?"

"Or, let's put this matter back for now?"

Lin Changhe naturally understood what his brother meant, and walked out quickly and said with a smile on his face.

"I naturally know how the treasury is. However, I fell in love with Princess Jiaozhi Zhu, and she was pregnant. ”

"Soon, I will decree that she be taken as a concubine. The country of my concubines can't be held back a little bit, right? ”

Xu Jing asked with a cold expression.

As soon as Xu Jing's news came out, everyone present was in an uproar.

That Jiaozhi is just a small country, even if it is a princess, in their eyes, it is not as good as the daughter of a small family in the capital of Daqian.

But such a princess of a country can actually get Xu Jing's pity, how can they accept it.

In an instant, these officials shouted one after another: "Your Majesty, how can such a princess of a small border country be a harem concubine?" ”

"As seen by the ministers, the fetus in the womb should be removed as soon as possible and this Jiaozhi princess should be driven out of the capital!"

"That's right! If Your Majesty really wants to choose a concubine, he should choose from various families in the capital instead of marrying a princess from a small country! ”

The voices of these officials were louder than the other, and none of them agreed with Xu Jing's decision.

Even Lin Hai's face was also extremely ugly, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Xu Jing's decision.
