In Yuan Kui's mansion, Yuan Kui sat above the main hall, and below sat a group of nephews and nephews of the Yuan family.

There was silence in the hall, and the needles could be heard, and all the children and nephews of the Yuan family were a little uneasy at the moment, they looked at Yuan Kui for a while, and then looked at Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, who were sitting in a row opposite, and the three brothers, they didn't know how to speak.

Therefore, at this time, everyone can only choose to keep silent.

Who would have thought that Yuan Ji would make such a big move this time.

Use Shanglu Chang and Hai's Shanglu as an introduction to ask His Majesty to remove the party? It caused countless chain reactions.

This matter did not go through Yuan Kui beforehand, but was Yuan Ji's arbitrary trip.

After Yuan Kui knew about this matter, everything was already in operation, and he could only let Yuan Ji operate this matter.

Up to now, more and more people have participated in this matter, and the Yuan family has more and more contacts, not only Yuan Ji, but also Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, including Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and many of the second-generation children and nephews of the Yuan family have also responded to Yuan Ji.

Yuan Kui knew in his heart that if this battle was completed, Yuan Ji's reputation among the scholars would be unprecedentedly loud, and the old officials of the Yuan family he used this time would also be convinced of him because of this matter, and then they would become one.

If this matter can be done, for the Yuan family, it should be beneficial and harmless...... But for the first time, Yuan Kui hoped that Liu Hong could hold up and refute Yuan Ji's performance.

Because of Yuan Ji's move, he was also hollowed out to a certain extent.

It is imperative for the party to lift the ban, this is the general trend, it can't be solved this time, and there will be next time, don't worry.

"Uncle!"

With a shout, everyone turned their attention to the doorway.

It was Yuan Xu, the second generation of the Yuan family, who hurriedly ran in.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Yuan Xu.

The moment of truth has arrived!

Today, a total of more than 60 court officials and councilors, including the Nine Temples and Lang Bureau, went to the palace together to once again advise Emperor Liu Hong to relieve the party.

Today's exhortation is huge, it can be said that Yuan Ji is a heavy blow, and if it is done today, Yuan Ji's prestige will rise sharply, and the second generation of Yuan's patriarch may pass on his name to the counties.

It depends on whether the emperor can stand it.

"How's the situation in the palace?" Yuan Ji didn't ask, but Yuan Kui was the first to open his mouth.

Yuan Xu hurriedly said: "Uncle, all the virtuous brothers, Your Majesty has issued an edict, and the party's imprisonment since the ancestor can be lifted." ”

"Okay!"

"Good!"

"Your Majesty has finally relented."

"In this way, today's move can be regarded as a big victory!"

Although the party has not been completely lifted, there is no doubt that today's news can be said to be the most exciting one for the scholar community over the years.

Yuan Kui was stunned for a while, and finally sighed in his heart.

The next generation of Yuan family sons and daughters are all heroes, that is, Yuan Ji, who he always thought could listen to him and obey the path he pointed out, is so powerful.

This time, His Majesty lifted the party's shackles, whether it was the timing or the method, the heat of the game was exactly the same.

Even the scheming Yuan Kui had to say with admiration that Yuan Ji's ability was still above him.

Especially in the past many years, Yuan Ji has been deeply hidden, and Yuan Kui has not seen that he has such ability.

It's amazing that someone who is so good at hiding is still under his nose!

After listening to Yuan Xu, all the brothers praised Yuan Ji one after another.

Yuan Ji was not modest and gladly accepted everyone's praise.

Subsequently, he saw Yuan Ji arching his hand towards Yuan Kui and said: "Uncle, this matter is very important, whether many famous people at home and abroad can enter the court, for many years, Ji has not asked anything about the affairs of the party, but until now, the matter of the party's dismissal has not been promoted in the court, and the nephew has to take action for the overall situation. ”

Looking at Yuan Ji who asked for punishment in front of him, Yuan Kui felt both angry and funny.

At this moment, if you ask me for punishment, don't you want to put the old man on the fire and barbecue?

You have opened a way to lift the party, and the good name is widely spread in the government and the opposition, how can the old man be that wicked man?

"Shiji, don't be like this!"

Yuan Kui spoke slowly, and Lao Huai said with great relief: "Since the death of my brother, all things in the clan have been undertaken by the old man alone, I wanted you to be a master of the business, and the old man will open up a way forward for you, but today I know that the old man has mistaken you, and with the ability of his nephew, it is enough to inherit the Yuan family's business......"

"Alas, the old man is old, his heart is not high, and his heart is not wide, and some things should indeed be left to you to do."

After saying that, he saw Yuan Kui looking around at the second generation of the Yuan family, and said: "From now on, the old man will only be in charge of the affairs of the middle of the court, and the affairs of the family will be controlled by the scholars. ”

Yuan Ji hurriedly said when he heard this: "At this time, how can my uncle retreat bravely? The affairs of the Yuan family are inseparable from uncle! ”

The Yuan family said with a smile: "Don't say that, the old man was really not at ease with you, but after this incident, the old man has already understood, your backs have all been matured, and each has its own strengths, if the old man is still in control of the affairs of the clan at this age, it is not suitable." ”

With that, he looked around at the crowd and finally set his eyes on his three sons.

"You three, you can worship the eldest brother!"

As Yuan Kui's words were finished, he saw Yuan De, Yuan Dong, and Yuan Ying get up, came to Yuan Ji's face, and made a long gesture towards him.

Yuan Ji hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped the three younger brothers.

"Uncle, there are vacant seats in the Taichang Office, the Imperial Governor's Office, and the Shaofu, and the three virtuous brothers have been silent for a long time, and now the situation is very good, and they can enter the court to participate in politics and be loyal to state affairs."

Yuan Kui nodded: "Since you are already in charge of the Yuan family, then you are naturally responsible for everything, you three, don't thank you brother!" ”

Yuan Kui's three sons said in unison: "Thank you brother for your support." ”

Yuan Ji said with a smile: "There is no need to be like this, our brothers will cheer up the Yuan family together, and in the future, the Yuan family in Runan will definitely have a good future!" ”

After the Yuan family finished discussing, everyone got up and said goodbye to Yuan Kui.

After everyone left, Yuan Dong asked Yuan Kui: "Father, why did you give up power in front of your brother today?" Do you want me to wait for the three of you to respect their will and enter the three signatures? What my father said before, do you want to count? ”

Yuan Kui shook his head and sighed: "After all, I underestimated him, he was a dragon and tiger, but I regarded him as a man of success, alas, because of my father's clumsiness...... This time, the ban on the party is lifted, and Shiji is in the limelight, and at this time, you must follow, so that you can have a good background for the future! ”

Yuan Ying said in a low voice: "Father, if I wait for one room like this, after two generations, I will definitely fall into the Yuan family's biased ......."

"The skills are not as good as people, but they will increase, because of this, I will let you wait for worship today, and I will be able to take care of it more in the future, and follow Shiji to revitalize the Yuan family."

"......"

……

At the same time, Liu Jian prepared a recital and went straight to Shangshutai to meet his teacher Lu Zhi.

This performance is Liu Jian's report on Sima Chengfu in his Yue cavalry camp, as well as the other 37 assistant officials who deducted the army's grain and straw and filled their private pockets.

But......

In the era under Liu Hong's rule, the imperial court was not strict in punishing officials who were greedy for ink, after all, the emperors were all 'looking at the money and looking at the good' virtues, so how good could the people below be?

Besides, everyone got to this position after spending money to repair the palace, if you don't let the big guy be greedy, then who will come to Xiyuan to buy officials in the future?

Therefore, at this time, it is not a big sin to be greedy for ink, but it can't be said openly, after all, the court can't directly encourage everyone to be corrupt, to put it bluntly, it's just that everyone knows it and tacitly knows each other.

This era is the real ten officials and nine greedy, no matter which government office they eat, they are basically one to catch one accurately, so Liu Jian can quickly collect evidence of the greed of the people in his camp.

However, to remove them from their posts and investigate them on this ground seems to violate the rules of officialdom in this era.

So, Lu Zhi kindly pointed out this matter to Liu Jian, telling him that His Majesty would most likely ignore Liu Jian's words.

But Liu Jian knew that His Majesty would definitely approve his play.
