Soon, Zhang Runde also had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the whole thing under the narration of the official.

And what surprised him the most was that those officials would actually think of using the eclipse as an excuse to go and persuade His Majesty to take back his life!

After that, I saw Zhang Runde come back to his senses and reassure the official.

"I'm tired of going back and telling Xiao Ge Lao, just say that this official knows what to do, so he can rest assured!"

When the official heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately replied respectfully.

"Yes, my lord, the little one must bring your words to the little pavilion elder as they are!"

After that, the official did not stop for the slightest, and immediately turned and left the room.

After the official left the room, Zhang Runde had no intention of dealing with the remaining affairs.

At this moment, a hint of hesitation couldn't help but appear on his face, after all, according to the previous official, the next step is to face off with that group of officials!

The elder Yan Pavilion and the elder Xiao Pavilion are in high positions and have won the trust of His Majesty, so they don't have to care about the attacks of their own officials.

But he is just a servant of the criminal department, and his foundation in the court is still shallow, so he is powerless to compete with those officials, not to mention, his ass is not clean, if he is caught by that group of officials, I am afraid that he will ......

Zhang Runde tried to continue to think along this line of thought, and after he predicted his fate, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

However, then again, this is an order personally given by Yan Ge Lao, and if he retreats from the battle, I am afraid that the end will not be much better.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, a resolute expression gradually appeared on Zhang Runde's face, and he clenched his fists and said to himself silently.

"Damn, this official will give up this life today and fight with the official!"

"If something happens at that time, Yan Ge Lao and they will definitely not sit idly by!"

After comforting himself like this, Zhang Runde quickly calmed down, and immediately, he called a few cronies and gave instructions.

"Go, call Luo Longwen and Yan Maoqing to this official, and say that Yan Ge Lao and they have something to do with us, go quickly!"

Seeing that Zhang Runde was so eager, those cronies did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately responded in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!"

After the cronies left the room, Zhang Runde sat back in his chair and lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Runde didn't wait too long, and after a while, Luo Longwen, Yan Maoqing and other key members of the Yan Party all arrived.

Seeing everyone coming, Zhang Runde immediately got up from the seat, nodded, and spoke.

"Well, everyone's here!"

As soon as Zhang Runde's words fell, someone couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked him.

"Master Zhang, dare to ask Yan Ge Lao, what do you need us to do, and why do you go to such great length?"

Zhang Runde didn't mean to go around in circles with everyone, and after thinking about it for a while, he recounted the ins and outs of the matter.

"Here's the thing, not long ago, the elder of the small pavilion sent someone to inform me......"

After Zhang Runde retold the reason for the incident, he successfully set off an uproar.

The first person who couldn't sit still was Yan Maoqing, who saw that his face was full of horror, and immediately spoke up and confirmed to Zhang Runde.

"What, you said we were going to confront that group of speakers next!"

Zhang Runde met Yan Maoqing's gaze, nodded, and responded.

"Well, that's right, just now Xiao Ge Lao sent someone over, just for this matter!"

After getting Zhang Runde's confirmation, the last trace of luck left in Yan Maoqing's heart disappeared, and immediately, he came back to his senses and asked Zhang Runde with a smile.

"That'...... Well, can you not go? ”

As soon as Yan Maoqing's words fell, several officials immediately responded.

"Yes, Lord Zhang, Lord Yan is reasonable, if we rashly confront that group of officials, we won't be able to please it!"

"That's right, this matter should be considered in the long run, or let's go and persuade Yan Ge Lao and them!"

"It makes sense, Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xiaoge, they have nothing to fear, in the end, they are just small characters, in case we anger that group of officials, we won't be able to eat and walk around!"

Mr. Zhang did not comment, but just watched from the sidelines.

The reason why Yan Maoqing dared to stand up boldly, on the one hand, was because he felt that he was worthy of the Yan family enough, after all, last time, he successfully completed the task of collecting salt taxes, and not only that, but also got rid of several backbone members on Qingliu's side for Yan Song.

On the other hand, it was because he was afraid of angering those officials!

After all, it can be said that his own corruption has long been known to the whole dynasty, and if he accidentally provokes those speech officials at that time, and provokes those speech officials to be desperate and compete for impeachment, once the matter is big, His Majesty will have to come forward to deal with himself.

Because of this, he Yan Maoqing wants to remain neutral and try not to offend anyone!

Just when Yan Maoqing was still thinking in his heart, what words to use to deal with this matter.

Luo Longwen, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, couldn't sit still, only to see him stand up, pointing at the noses of the officials who wanted to escape before.

"I'm really a bunch of ungrateful things, have you forgotten that in recent years, if it weren't for Elder Yan Ge who has been protecting us, would we be where we are today?"

Luo Longwen paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued.

"Let me ask you again, if Yan Ge Lao's illness hadn't been cured by His Majesty last time, what would have happened to what was waiting for us?"

"Don't talk about sitting firmly under the buttocks, all of us can't escape the reckoning over there!"

"Now, Elder Yan Ge is just asking us to do some trivial things, and you are pushing back, I, Luo Longwen, really look down on you as an ungrateful villain!"

Luo Longwen's words fell, and the room suddenly fell into a dead silence, perhaps due to weakness of heart or some other reason, in short, no one stood up to refute.

I don't know how long time has passed, but I saw Zhang Runde, who had been watching coldly, speak out and break the silence.

"If you want to go, stay and go with the official later, and if you don't want to go, you can leave now!"

Zhang Runde's words fell, and those officials who wanted to retreat before couldn't help but be a little moved, but after thinking about it, they still didn't act, just stood in place with a tangled face.

After all, if they go, if they don't keep it, they will be guilty of Yan Ge Lao, and just as they were hesitating, Zhang Runde's voice sounded again.

I saw him turn his gaze to Yan Maoqing and ask in a cold voice.

"Yan Maoqing, what about you, what do you think?"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes fell on Yan Maoqing's body, waiting for his answer.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yan Maoqing seemed to have made a decision, only to see him gritting his teeth and saying in a deep voice.

"I ...... I'm going with you! ”

When Zhang Runde heard this, there was not much turbulence in his eyes, but after looking Yan Maoqing up and down, he withdrew his gaze and turned to speak.

"In that case, let's start preparing!"

……

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the officials soon heard from many sources about the two orders issued by Zhao Zhenji in the Inspectorate.

Zhao Zhenji's sudden backstab undoubtedly caught this group of speech officials off guard, and at this moment, an indescribable sense of crisis shrouded everyone's hearts.

"This Zhao Zhenji is really a wall grass, I'm shameless!"

"Yes, that's right, shameless, he Zhao Zhenji actually did such a despicable thing in order to flatter the cabinet, this soft bone!"

"It's a shame that he Zhao Zhenji is still supervising the imperial history, and he can't even tell the least right from wrong, which shows how seriously His Majesty has been deceived!"

"Yes, when this matter is over, this Zhao Zhenji will be impeached together!"

Seeing that those people's emotions were getting more and more excited, and their speech was becoming more and more open-mouthed, Hu Yingjia's eyelids jumped when he listened, and he quickly diverted the topic.

"Calm down, everyone, and don't forget what our purpose was in the first place!"

After Hu Yingjia's reminder, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down and began to think about the next response.

After all, they originally just wanted to persuade the emperor not to add arithmetic to the imperial examination next year.

Now, however, the development of things has long been out of their control, and has gradually evolved into a clash between two political forces, and there is no possibility of stopping.

Thinking of this, Hu Yingjia sighed helplessly, and after putting aside all the complicated thoughts in his heart, he faced everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, right now, Zhao Zhenji of the Inspectorate has handed over the list of impeached officials to the cabinet, that is to say, we have no way out!"

"Because of this, we can't continue to sit still like this, we must take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the gap when the other party has not yet accumulated strength, and catch them off guard!"

Hu Yingjia's words quickly aroused the echo of many officials present, after all, before this, they had never suffered a setback in this regard, how could they swallow this breath?

Seeing that no one raised any objections to this, soon, I saw Hu Yingjia after looking around, and then immediately started a specific division of labor.

"Lord Wang, you are responsible for publicizing this matter, Lord Li, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of the cabinet, Lord Zhang......"

After Hu Yingjia finished the division of labor, he saw that he withdrew his gaze from the many officials present and said loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, success or failure is in this move, what we do today will be written by history and praised by future generations!"

Hu Yingjia's voice fell, and the officials present said in unison.

"Yes, for posterity!"

"Let's go, let's go meet Your Majesty!"

Soon, under the leadership of Hu Yingjia, this group of speech officials set off in a majestic manner, and they wanted everyone to see that the scholars were vigorous!

……

At the same time as the official official officially set off, a surging public opinion also spread rapidly among the government and the opposition, and caused great discussion.

Ministry of Rites, at this moment, the extremely surging public opinion in the DPRK and China has also made many officials uninterested in handling the government affairs at hand, and they have begun to gather together in groups of three or five to discuss carefully.

"Hey, have you heard, that group of officials seem to be clamoring to petition His Majesty to get him back into his life?"

"I've heard it for a long time, alas, I don't know whose slander Your Majesty listened to, and actually thought that the subject of arithmetic would be added to the imperial examination in the coming year, and such a ridiculous thing has never happened in all dynasties!"

"Needless to say, it must be a good thing done by Xu Jie, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, didn't you see that group of officials clamoring for his impeachment?"

"Shhhh

"What are you afraid of, there is no one else here, if you want me to say, those officials are really worthy of being a model for our generation!"

Seeing this, I saw a gray-haired old man tremblingly put down the brush in his hand, and interjected: "Hmph, these current officials, where is there still a little bit of the spirit of a scholar, it is really not as good as the generation, I want to ...... when the old man is young."

Just as the old man was still boasting to everyone about his "glorious deeds" in his youth, he didn't notice at all that the colleagues who had looked curious before had silently withdrawn their gaze at this moment and began to pretend to deal with the official documents in their hands.

When the old man reacted, he suddenly found that at some point, Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had quietly appeared behind him.

At this moment, Li Chunfang was holding her hands behind her back and looking at the old man with a playful expression.

When the old man saw this, he was so frightened that he suddenly got up from his seat and saluted him in fear.

"Next...... Xia Guan has seen Lord Shangshu! ”

Li Chunfang did not make any comment, nodded imperceptibly, and commanded.

"Well, sit down!"

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu!"

When the old man heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately sat back in his place with tears in his eyes.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, they saw Li Chunfang unhurriedly reminded after looking around.

"You'd better not talk about this matter, otherwise, if something happens at that time, don't blame the official, understand?"

Seeing that Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, spoke in person, where did everyone dare to continue this topic, they all fell silent, and began to deal with the affairs in their hands, and everything seemed to have returned to its usual time.

Seeing this, Li Chunfang nodded imperceptibly, and then turned around and left with his hands behind his back, as when he came.

After Li Chunfang left, such a thought emerged in everyone's hearts: "This matter actually provoked Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to come forward in person, could it be said that what big things will happen next?" (End of chapter)
