On the main hall of the Yongdu Palace, the civil and military officials entered the main hall, and with the sound of a eunuch's shrill voice, the young Emperor Xuanjing entered, and hundreds of officials greeted, but there was no need to kneel and bow, for some older or important officials, there were even stools to sit on, and most of the officials were standing.

"Is there anything you want to say today?"

"Enlighten the saints, and the ministers have a play"

"Say"

"Yes, recently, Zhao Xianyuan, the son of Xinliangbo, brought his slaves to make trouble in Yongdu, first beat the Jiangzhou scholar for no reason, causing the scholar to be injured in the arm, I am afraid that he will not be able to participate in the imperial examination, and his scholar was seriously injured, Xinliangbo threatened Tsing Yi Wei to release people, and then Zhao Xianyuan took Xin Liangbo's home guards, and besieged and killed the chief flag officer of Tsing Yi Wei who arrested Zhao Xianyuan on the street, threatening that there are immortals in Xinliangbo's family, and the world is the world of immortals, and the chief flag officer will be killed, so as to cause public resentment to boil·····"

A young official Yu Shi rushed to the front and directly told the case of the past few days, and the bigwigs looked at their noses and noses, but those who didn't know were in an uproar.

"Then Zhao Xianyuan is so domineering? Where is the letter Liangbo?"

"The Minister"

"Is what the imperial history said true?"

"It's true, the minister has no way to teach the son, and it is a capital crime"

Xin Liangbo replied, Xungui had already discussed it yesterday, this case cannot be denied, once he denies it, the civil officials will inevitably come up with substantive evidence, and they will be even more unfavorable at that time, so just admit it directly, and stand up for the beating.

"When will the world become the world of your Zhao family?"

"The minister was wronged, the courtier didn't say this, this is the words of the people"

"Hmph, is it groundless?"

"Capital Offense"

"Where is the Criminal Department?"

"The Minister"

"Seriously injuring people on the street, besieging and killing court officials, how to deal with it according to the law"

"Return to the saint, according to the law"

"Saint, the Tsing Yi guard is not dead, and my son has not killed the official"

"Proposed decree, Xinliang Bo Zhao Liang, godson has no way, causing his son Zhao Xianyuan to ignore the law and the court, make trouble and hurt people, intending to kill the court officials, punish Xinliang Bo Yulu for three years, and take away his recommendation to ask the Xiange quota once, his son Zhao Xianyuan, fined fifty rods, three years in prison, this life shall not be an official of the imperial court, and shall not inherit the title of Earl of Xinliang"

Emperor Xuanjing looked at the ministers and said, Xinliangbo Zhao Liang almost fainted when he heard it, this punishment is too serious, the penalty is nothing, everyone does not rely on Yulu to eat, but it is too serious to take away the quota for him to recommend and ask the Immortal Pavilion, which makes Xinliangbo Mansion lose the biggest reliance.

"Zhao Liang, you can admit punishment"

"The minister has no way to teach his son, and he admits punishment, but the minister also has his own music"

"Performance"

"Yes, the minister exposed ·····"

Xin Liangbo endured the anger in his heart, took out his own recital, and immediately began to complain, didn't the civil official want to rectify him, that would do, he would also expose it.

The second generation of honors and nobles is not a thing, so the second generation of civil officials is a good person?

It can be said that the things that Zhao Xianyuan has done, many of the children of civil officials have also done it, some have evidence, some have no evidence, but it doesn't matter, just bite it.

After hearing this, the civil officials were immediately furious, and they reprimanded one after another, and the court was suddenly in chaos, if it weren't for the guards, maybe there would have been a fight.

Emperor Xuanjing looked at this chaos, his face was angry, but the lack of joy in his heart blossomed, as an emperor, he was not afraid of the courtiers fighting, he was afraid that the courtiers would not fight, if this was a group of harmony, he should be worried about being afraid, because it meant that he had been hollowed out.

········

For seven or eight days in a row, the two factions of Xungui and civil officials were frantically reporting, and they sent a large number of people to investigate the crimes of the heirs of both sides, and even used their own relationships to verify, because only if the evidence is ironclad, the court will punish the crime, otherwise the emperor will not be stupid.

Slowly, the situation got out of control, and they were no longer satisfied with targeting each other's children, but began to target the nobles and the ministers themselves, and the emperor called a halt, and a party dispute caused by small people ended temporarily.

Yongdu Prison, Xin Liangbo and his wife looked at the seriously injured Zhao Xianyuan, Xin Liangbo's face was gloomy like water, and his wife was crying, he was beaten fifty boards, originally Xin Liangbo had already been counted, but the person who started was still very heavy, and Zhao Xianyuan was already half useless.

"Dad, avenge the child, kill that Tsing Yi guard, he instigated it, it was he who instigated it"

Zhao Xianyuan lay on the grass and cried to Zhao Liang, originally the people in his family had told him that playing the board was a formality, those executioners were extremely skilled, and the sticks made them fascinating, and a few sticks could be beaten to death, or they could be some flesh wounds, free control, if it wasn't for someone to instruct him, how could he be beaten so hard.

"Don't worry, he'll pay the price"

Zhao Liang said coldly, just a general flag official, but a few civil officials on the list, dare to be so ruthless, Zhao Xianyuan has been punished, and he will not let him go.

At the same time, Tsing Yiwei and Jiang Wu were also asking if Jiang Cheng had bought off the executioner and almost disabled Zhao Xianyuan.

"How could it be me, I have money and nowhere to spend it"

"Who would that be"

"People who fish in troubled waters, our family jumps like this, you don't think that no one in Tsing Yiwei is jealous of us, right?"

"I'll explain it"

"No, the explanation is not clear, Uncle Xin already hates us, and it is useless to explain, but to be a thief"

Jiang Cheng stopped Jiang Wu, where can this be explained clearly, you said that if you didn't do it, you didn't do it, and it wasn't bad for this hatred, but Zhao Xianyuan really didn't make it, Jiang Cheng didn't have this mind.

"Now that the struggle between civil officials and nobles has come to an end, it will be easy for the nobles to rectify us in the future, and I am afraid that life will not be easy."

"Then completely destroy Xungui?"

"You..."

Jiang Wu was frightened by Jiang Cheng, where did this guy come from, and is Xungui so easy to destroy?

"It's difficult to destroy Xungui, but it's not difficult to destroy Xinliangbo, you just need to let him commit unforgivable sins, learn the immortal law privately, collude with demons and immortals, and destroy the imperial examination, you can do it"

"Don't act rashly, don't do it before Uncle Xin Liang makes a move, otherwise we will lose money, fight in the court, and we will not kill until we have to"

Jiang Wu hurriedly said, the court struggle, especially if there are factions, unless a group of them can be killed, it is better not to kill them, and don't fight back when the time comes, and make a lose-lose situation.

"I know, let's do this first, I have something to go out"

Jiang Cheng nodded, if Uncle Xin Liang didn't make a move, he wouldn't do it, if he dared to do it, Jiang Cheng wouldn't sit still, Jiang Cheng still had tricks to deal with him.

Jiang Cheng came to Wansheng Building, Chen Chengyuan soon appeared, and said to Jiang Cheng, "I want to pay some silver in the account"

"What to do"

"Make some friends"

"Those scholarly friends of yours?"

"Yes, there are many talents among the scholars, they have no backers, and it is difficult to pass the imperial examination, so it is a good time for me to make friends with them."

"Do you know their bottom line?"

"I know some, they are all born in poor families, although they are not as poor as before after being admitted, but it is also difficult to display their ambitions, according to what Mr. taught, their main contradiction is to display their ambitions"

"Yes, I'll lend you money."

Jiang Cheng nodded, Chen Chengyuan is crooked, but it doesn't matter, it's the same whether it's crooked or not, Chen Chengyuan is just his abandoned son.

"Thank you, sir"

"Scholars are the most high-minded, and their identities don't match, so they want to look down on you after all, I can't help you get an official status right away, but I'll give you a chance to make money"

"Please sir, please"

"I will leave Wansheng Building to you to manage, whether it is in trouble or because of what it is, I don't care, including you can decide on new dishes in the store or change suppliers, I will only solve some official troubles for you, in short, you are the reason, and then we will count the average profit of Wansheng Building in the past three months, as long as it exceeds this profit, you can take half of the more"

"This..."

"I don't understand, if the average is to earn 1,000 taels a month, and you earn 1,100 taels this month, you can take 50 taels, and the treatment you should have is still there, quickly transfer to money, use it to buy property, and have money, you can make friends, you can raise some people, rebellion, the first element is to have money, no money, whether it is poor or rich, will not pay attention to you"

"I understand, thank you sir for making it complete"

"Master leads you into the door, practice personally, work hard, and make a career in Yongdu City, this is where your foundation lies"

"I see"

Chen Chengyuan nodded, he really didn't have much money, although he inherited the name of the king of the south, but they were too bitter in the southern wilderness, and even the travel expenses to the north with Zhou Fu'an were saved, and now Jiang Cheng gave him such an opportunity, he was still very grateful.

Especially now that the spring is coming, there are a lot of foreign scholars, some of these scholars are very rich, and the business of Wansheng Building has been more popular than before.

Jiang Cheng quickly called the shopkeeper and told him that in the future, Wansheng Building would be dominated by Chen Chengyuan.

"Boss, did I do something wrong?"

"No, but I know his ancestors and owe him a favor, don't worry, you are useful, I won't treat you badly"

"Yes, Host"

"There will be new stores open in the future, and you will still be the shopkeeper in the future"

Jiang Cheng said to the shopkeeper, this person is honest and reliable, Jiang Cheng uses it easily, and he can be used again when the time comes to open a new store.

The shopkeeper took Chen Chengyuan to hand over the matter, Jiang Cheng stood on the window, looking at the endless crowd outside, and the belief in his heart became clearer and clearer.

Marlows's theory of security needs, the first is physiological needs, which he has achieved, the second is safety needs, and the fifth is self-actualization.

In the case of Great Wei, the second security requirement is actually more difficult than self-realization, because there are imperial power and immortal sects in this world, which may catch people off guard at any time.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng set the security needs at the highest level, and directly skipped other needs, and directly wanted to get security, and to be safe, he needed strength, whether it was a group or an individual, he needed it.
