In the Jiade Hall, the courtiers went out of the gate one after another and walked down the steps.

It's different.

In the past, no matter how big the matter was, out of the Jiade Palace, the courtiers would still gather together in different categories, whispering and discussing.

Now, although the boundaries are still clear, no one speaks.

Many people silently looked at the backs of Xun You, Xun Yu, Cai Yong and others, some people gloated, and some people had relatives.

In addition to these three people, Sima Jun's back was also watched by many people, twinkling with many eyes.

This is a 'newly-promoted' person, and it is rumored that he was personally recruited by the palace.

Although this is not the fourth and third princes, he does not have a very high reputation, but this person has lived for a long time, and his reputation is not bad, as a big family of Yingchuan, the court is all juniors, who can not be polite when he sees it?

Some people are starting to think about it.

"Six Cao Shangshu, Shang Shutai Deliberations."

Suddenly, Yang Biao, who was walking in the front, said in a deep voice.

Liucao Shangshu raised his hand and responded silently.

The others subconsciously stopped and watched Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Er Xun, Sima Jun and others turn to Shangshutai.

Er Xun was openly reprimanded and demoted to the third class, this kind of disposition is the first time since the succession to the throne in the palace, and most people have not eased up until now.

Cai Yong didn't know what his expression was, he only felt that his head was swollen, his legs and feet were fluttering, and he wanted to follow, but it was not easy to squeeze in. After a while, he could only be depressed and uncomfortable, and staggered out of the palace with the crowd.

In Shangshutai, Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Er Xun and others sat down, their faces sinking like water, and the quiet needles could be heard.

They expected His Majesty's wrath in the palace, but they didn't expect it to this extent!

Yang Biao is actually difficult to say clean about the matter of planting, even if he escapes, he is still uneasy.

He took a deep breath, rubbed the corners of his stiff face, and said, "You have all heard the will, now let's talk about what to do?" ”

In these things, Wang Yun is relatively the cleanest one, and in the Jiade Palace, he also received a verbal commendation from Liu Wei, he indifferently swept Er Xun and the others, and said: "I will issue a document in half a month to 'reduce redundant officials', starting with the division." ”

Yang Biao looked at him, and the corners of his face trembled twice.

At the beginning of Wang Yun, the entire division was in chaos. With so many official hats, the people under the hats and the complex network of families, relatives, friends, teachers and friends behind them will move quickly, and the pressure will be concentrated in the imperial court and in Shangshutai.

But this matter Liu Wei personally agreed, and Yang Biao had nothing to do with Wang Yun, so he looked at Xun Yu and said, "What is Cao's plan?" ”

Xun You tried his best to remain calm, his face was still condensed, and said: "The official Cao plans to work with the Yushitai to verify all the officials appointed since the 'New Deal'...... Every three years. ”

Yang Biao looked at him, cold sweat oozing from his head.

If you do this, it will be a big storm!

Yang Biao only felt that his heart was heavy, and his breathing was a little difficult, and he couldn't speak for a long time, so he had to turn to Xun Yu and say, "What about Hu Cao?" ”

"There are no plans for the time being." Xun Yu said.

Yang Biao waited for Hu Cao to come up with some big plan, and was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Xun Yu's expressionless face, and said, "No?" ”

Wang Yun, Xun You, Sima Jun and others also looked at it, and their faces were suspicious.

In the Jiade Palace, His Majesty is so angry, the biggest reason is the autumn grain, and the biggest responsibility is Hu Cao, and now Xun Yu says that there is no plan?

For these glances, Xun Yu was unconscious, and said: "The matter is serious, and the lower official plans to return to Hucao, gather his colleagues, and think about it in the long run, so as to make a comprehensive plan." ”

Yang Biao blinked, seemed to feel reasonable, his heart wandered, unconsciously sat up straight, and said in a deep voice: "The old man's meaning is that the matter is very important, and it must be carefully planned, with Shangshutai as the mainstay, and push it with all his might, rather than one person fighting alone." ”

Xun You hurriedly said: "What the prime minister said is true. ”

The matter is too big, Xun You consciously uses Hu Cao's ability, far from being able to do it.

Sima Jun sat there and glanced at Wang Yun quietly.

Wang Yun didn't move, as if he hadn't heard.

Yang Biao didn't care about Wang Yun either, stared at a few people, and lowered his head and pretended to groan: "The old man intends to start investigating the loss of autumn grain from Shanyang County, Yanzhou. ”

Xun Yu immediately understood and looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu paused and said, "Yes." ”

Yang Biao instantly put his mind at ease, with a smile on his face, and said, "The old man wrote to Wang Taishou and asked him to sort it out as soon as possible and go to the court." ”

Xun You, Xun You didn't speak.

Shanyang Taishou Wang Lang is the west seat of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is also personally recommended by Yang Biao, and is recognized as Yang Biao's only 'friend'.

Seeing that no one spoke, Yang Biao's fat face suddenly became majestic, and he said in a deep voice: "Three days later, Shangshutai will discuss the matter, and Liucao will come up with a detailed charter and make a decision together. Autumn grain is the pillar of the society, and there is no room for erosion! The rule of officials is the foundation of the society, dare to be corrupt and take bribes, the court is incompatible, there is no room for compromise! ”

"The subordinate officer receives the order!"

Xun You, Xun You, Sima Jun, even Wang Yun raised his hand at this moment.

"Also, the old man wants to remind Hu Cao that the autumn grain matter has been issued, and the salt tax can't happen again!" Yang Biao's eyes widened, staring at Xun Yudao.

Xun Yu's face moved slightly, and he raised his hand and said, "The lower official knows." ”

Yang Biao nodded and said, "After three days, no one is allowed to take leave, and all Cao Shilang must also be present." ”

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" The crowd said again.

……

Half an hour later, a group of people came out of Shangshutai.

Sima Jun was on crutches, and as soon as he stepped out with one foot, Wang Yun's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Sima Shangshu stays, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Sima Jun paused, turned around, and walked back.

When he was in the Jiade Palace, Liu Wei personally handed over the torture Cao to Wang Yun for separate assignment.

Xun You turned his head to look at Sima Jun's back, his brows furrowed.

At this moment, he was full of worries, it was difficult to calm down, and he had no time to care, so he hurried out of the palace with Xun Yu and others and returned to Liucao.

Xun You and Xun Yu came to the Liucao official office one after another, Xun Yu was just about to return to the arc, Xun You grabbed it, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I have something to tell you." ”

Xun Yu snorted and took Xun Yu into Hucao.

Seeing the two of them, the group wanted to speak, but hesitated and retreated.

Xun Yu, Xun Yu entered the duty room, immediately closed the door, and the two sat opposite each other.

Xun Yu lost his calmness outside, his expression was flustered and written on his face, he looked at Xun Yu and said, "Uncle, you say, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”

Since being promoted by Liu Wei, Xun You has never been so flustered today.

'Relegation to the third class' is undoubtedly a fatal blow to a person like him who is in the limelight and has a great future.

Xun Yu poured a cup of tea, the corners of Lao Cheng's face did not move, but his brows furrowed, and said, "Your Majesty should be angry with the weakness of the imperial court." ”

Xun Yu thought about the court situation, although he felt that what Xun Yu said was reasonable, he still stared at Xun Yu and said, "Uncle, I don't think it's entirely right. Your Majesty has never acted without a purpose, and there must be other schemes. You say......"

Speaking of this, Xun You suddenly stopped, his expression a little tangled.

Xun Yu put down the teacup and said, "Be calm." ”

Xun Yu looked at Xun Yu's unfluctuating expression, took a deep breath with a stiff face, and said, "Uncle, what is the purpose of Your Majesty?" ”

Dealing with him, Xun Yu, and Cai Yong openly and demoting him to the third class is definitely not just about autumn grain and official governance!

The teacup in Xun Yu's hand turned slightly, and said, "You ignored one thing, Sima Jun." ”

Xun You frowned and said, "You mean, Your Majesty was laying out ten days ago?" ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is afraid that you are a little impatient." ”

Xun You's already doubtful heart suddenly became nervous, and said: "The imperial court has heavy government affairs and complicated things, how can you be impatient?" Isn't Your Majesty worried about it? ”

Xun Yu took another sip of tea and said, "Where is it?" ”

Xun Yu looked at Xun Yu in a daze, and seemed to have suddenly forgotten what he wanted to say.

He thought about all the things in the court, and suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "What does uncle mean, Your Majesty, have the confidence to grasp the situation?" ”

After saying this, Xun Yu couldn't wait for Xun Yu's answer, and said: "The rebellion in the south is like fire, and the Black Mountain Army is still besieging Julu, and there is a big chaos. The court has no money and no food, and the treasury is in trouble, where does Your Majesty's confidence come from? ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know." But I can feel that His Majesty is less cautious than before, and is more inclined to make bold moves and use heavy codes. ”

Xun You's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, he thought about it and said, "Then, what do you say Your Majesty is going to do?" ”

"Make every effort to promote the implementation of the new policy." Xun Yu said.

Xun Yu stared at Xun Yu and said, "Uncle knows what I said. ”

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, "Degrading us is nothing more than a warning, forcing the imperial court to unite and concentrate on the new policy." ”

Xun You anxiously picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "You say, does Your Majesty intend to remove us?" ”

Xun Yu suddenly smiled and said, "If you are concerned, you will be confused, calm down." ”

Xun Yu and Xun Yu looked at each other, and inexplicably calmed down, his nervous face slowly relaxed, and said, "Uncle, it's me who lost my temper." ”

Xun Yu picked up the teapot, gave him a cup of tea, and said, "Although I don't understand what Your Majesty wants to do, but you and I, as scholars, can work wholeheartedly, and don't care too much about the rest." ”

Xun Yu secretly admired Xun Yu's qi cultivation kung fu, took a calm breath, raised his hand and said, "What my uncle said is to be taught." ”

Although Xun Yu was more than ten years older than Xun Yu, Xun Yu did occupy a generational position, and did not return the gift, saying, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xun You calmed down a little and said, "I thought about it in a hurry, first I planned to select more talents with Taichang, and I was ready to join the company at any time." Then, it was with the Imperial Historical Observatory that the 'corruption of autumn grain' was taken as an opportunity to investigate officials at all levels and strictly rectify the rule of officials. ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "The threshold should be high, and after entering the office, you must always correct the core." ”

As he spoke, he got up, rummaged in the drawer for a while, took out a notebook, handed it to Xun You, and said, "Look at this." ”

Xun You took it, opened it with some curiosity, and saw the four big characters of 'Jiupin Zhongzheng' on the side of his eyes, and then noticed the name of 'Chen Qun' on the title page.

He instantly remembered what Zhong Xuan had said to him before, and said while looking at it: "I've heard of it, and I said it was very confusing before, and the preface doesn't match the afterword......"

Xun You's voice did not fall, and he looked at it seriously.

The so-called 'Nine Grades Zhongzheng' is not a method for selecting officials, but a grading of assessment, and divides the world's officials into upper, middle and lower nine grades!

After Xun You almost finished reading, Xun Yu said: "I talked to Chen Qun, and he was full of spirits, saying that he entered the palace not long ago and presented his Majesty in person, which was quite praised by His Majesty." ”

Xun Youben was very interested in this script, frowned when he heard this, and said: "Zhong Tingwei said that Chen Qun is young and vigorous, jumping up and down, and there are no rules. ”

Xun Yu said: "Do you think this playbook is usable?" ”

Xun You's brows loosened, and he said thoughtfully: "The idea is very good, there are many things that are too whimsical and not down-to-earth enough." ”

After Xun You finished saying this, he gradually had an idea in his heart, and then said, "Uncle, what are you going to do?" Just now in Shangshutai, you didn't mean to say anything. ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "The matter is more complicated, and I still have to discuss it carefully with Han Bin." First determine the acres of land and households. ”

Xun You looked at him and said with some doubts: "Are you going to wait for next year?" ”

Xun Yu said: "This year is over. ”

Xun You was stunned, and had a very clear intuition that his uncle seemed to be going to be ruthless.

……

When Xun Yu and Xun Yu were still discussing, Wang Yun personally sent Sima Jun out of the palace, talking and laughing while walking, very intimate.

Sima Jun left the palace and returned to Xingcao, and the Xingcao messengers poured out like a tide.

Some of them went to the prison, and some of them went straight to Henan Yin.

In the first year of Yonghan, the sixth day of October.

Henan Yin Chongji, more than 30 people, seven people were betrayed by the Tingwei Mansion and beheaded, and the rest of the people all raided their homes and killed the border.

Then, the heads of the series began to appear in the states and counties of the division.

I don't know how many people are worried and afraid.

Before the officials of the division could react, Shang Shutai directly ordered that more than 20 people of Shangdang County should be dismissed from their official positions. At the same time, the joint inspection officials of Yushitai and Cao Cao were stationed in Taiyuan, and Lang Zhong of Cao read out the official document of Prime Minister Yang Biao in public, severely denouncing the 'corruption and lawlessness' of Bingzhou County.

Bingzhou is sharpening its knives, and Yanzhou has already started to fall.

The superintendent of Shanyang County, the Imperial History Xizhi, reported the detailed investigation results and was attached to Wang Lang, the Taishou of Shanyang, and Liu Dai, the Mu of Yanzhou.

The judges of the Tingwei Mansion, under the watchful eyes of many officials of all sizes in Yanzhou, sentenced seven people, three county orders, and four county seats, and nearly 100 officials of all sizes involved in the case were confiscated and exiled.

In addition to those who escaped from the news in advance, there are as many as nine large and small families involved, and the amount of atonement money collected alone is as high as 60 million!

The storm blowing from Luoyang City is violently sweeping around.

But this is only the first step, and an even bigger storm is still in the making.

The first draft of Wang Yun's 'reduction of redundant officials' was approved in Shangshutai, and the abolished institutions and officials are constantly entering the list.

The 'Great Inspection' of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the official Cao is also advancing in an orderly manner, various plans are being formulated, and all kinds of manpower are being mobilized.

Compared with the storm gathering of the imperial court, the palace was quiet.

Recommend a good friend's book, there is that taste, you can take a look.
