Zhang Cang's body stiffened, although he looked very reluctant, he could only turn around helplessly, squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, walked to the Imperial Doctor in small steps, and said respectfully: "The lower official has seen the Imperial Doctor." ”

His hair and beard have long been gray.

He looked at Zhang Cang coldly, and said coldly: "Zhang Yushi has been very beautiful during this time, not only has he done the function of supervising history, but also served as the foreign teacher of the eldest son, and he is also in the limelight in the Imperial History Mansion. ”

Zhang Cang said with tears in his eyes: "Doctor Yushi, the officials are wronged." ”

Suddenly snorted weakly, and said indifferently: "You are a high-ranking disciple of Xunzi, it is a good thing to have ambition and ambition, but just like Prime Minister Li Si, when he first entered the Qin State, he was just a river canal order with little authority, and it was after some precipitation that Prime Minister Li Si was able to soar to the sky." ”

"You are now an official to the imperial history, but you should pay attention to the precipitation."

"Xunzi is Confucianism, and Great Qin is law."

"Xunzi's set of things can't be copied rigidly, let alone think very highly of yourself, you are talented, I do know that there are more than 20 imperial histories in the Imperial History Mansion, and I have always valued you the most, but you also need to understand that the court is the most important place in the world, and every word and deed involves a lot."

"There are some things that can be said but not to be said, and some things that should not be said."

"If you fall into the handle of your tongue because of this, even if you are the imperial history, I am afraid you will not be able to escape the blame."

"You are an official of the Imperial History Mansion, and you should abide by the way of an official."

"the handle, measure carefully!"

Zhang Cang's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty will remember the advice of Doctor Yushi." ”

"It's just that the lower official was really wronged this time, what the eldest son said in the court was indeed what the lower official said, but at that time, the eldest son was looking for the lower official, just to discuss the "Book of Shang Jun" and "Han Feizi", the lower official had no such consciousness at that time, so he exited, if he knew that there was such a thing today, how could he dare to talk more?"

"The lower officials are really wronged."

Zhang Cang looked weak with a sad face.

He was really wronged.

This is more than half a year ago, who knows that Fusu still remembers, and shakes himself out, he has actually been cautious in the court, lest he grudge with others, but as a person full of talent, he is somewhat arrogant, so when Fusu asked, he couldn't help showing off a few words.

Who knew it was all on the shelf?

He patted Zhang Cang on the shoulder and said on his forehead: "I believe you didn't mean it, it's just that the movement in the court will not be small during this time, and this matter is indeed deeply involved with you, I suggest that you go home and rest for a few days, and don't appear in the court's field of vision during this time." ”

"Although I cherish my talents, if you attract the courtiers to impeach in unison, I will not be able to protect you."

Zhang Cang nodded hurriedly and said gratefully: "Thank you for the reminder from Doctor Yushi, and the officials are grateful." ”

He nodded weakly, didn't stay long, and walked away.

Zhang Cang's face was wrinkled.

He knew that he had really been pushed to the forefront this time.

Even the Imperial Doctor personally spoke, and the impact can be seen, the Imperial Doctor has a very high status and ranks as the third duke, but this time he was also worried that it would be affected, so he deliberately spoke.

However, he said that he valued himself, and he knew that he would say a kind word.

With a weak identity, if he really values himself, how can he be a financial manager for more than ten years, even if he is promoted to the imperial history, he is still a bookkeeper.

It's just that he knows it too.

I really became the target of public criticism this time.

Although it is a problem that the eldest son poked out, but after all, the eldest son has a special identity, even if the courtiers are dissatisfied, they don't dare to target it too much, but they are different, they are a royal history, and they don't have much real power, and most of them will become scapegoats.

If you don't hide to avoid the limelight, I'm afraid that you will have a hard time in the middle of the court.

"Ugh." Zhang Cangchang sighed.

He regrets it now.

He regretted it very much, and he even wondered if he had run away with him when Confucianism fled, would it be better than the current situation?

It's a pity that time can't be turned back.

Then.

Fusu also walked over.

With a little apology on his face, he said, "Zhang Yushi, this time I lost my words." ”

Zhang Cang glanced at Fusu a few times, and there was a rare look of gloom in his eyes, but in the end, he didn't have a seizure, but his face turned into a sadness, and he said miserably: "Childe, don't pit me anymore, I, Zhang Cang, really can't stand such a toss, no matter how much I toss a few times, I will die one day if I can't save it." ”

"Childe, you should be more considerate of the lower officials."

"Xia Guan really can't bear it."

Fusu's expression stiffened slightly, so he had to quickly nod yes.

Looked at.

Zhang Cang's brows furrowed slightly.

He looked at Fusu deeply a few times, and a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his heart.

He was vaguely aware of something.

Fusu has changed!

Zhang Cang retracted his gaze, didn't say much to Fusu, and turned around and left directly.

The figure is slightly depressed.

He was aware of something.

Fusu stood in place, just watching Zhang Cang leave, and when Zhang Cang completely disappeared in front of him, he sighed with a sad expression and whispered: "Zhang Cang, don't blame me for cheating you, after I Fusu today, I am afraid that I will be rejected by many officials, and only by making this decision can I stabilize myself." ”

The other side.

Zhang Cang returned to his official office.

He was physically and mentally exhausted, and as soon as he entered the hall, he closed the doors and windows, completely ignoring the others, looking at the honey pots piled up under the case, and there was no joy at all.

"The eldest son has changed!"

"The eldest son in the past hated calculation, but now the eldest son has begun to take the initiative to calculate, and I, Zhang Cang, am the unlucky ghost of the entire court now."

"Ji Heng, Ji Heng, your guidance has made me miserable."

"Your approach to Shangjia, the eldest son did learn it, and it was not used on others, but on me, and I can only smile and be grateful in the future."

"Birds!"

Zhang Cang scolded a few times.

He had now come to his senses and cleared up some of his situation.

Fusu said himself, not unintentionally, but intentionally, in order to tie himself to him, the eldest son offended many people this time, and the Chu lineage, which was originally close, would also be alienated from him, so the eldest son chose to drag himself into the water in order to maintain his own status.

At present, he has inexplicably offended a large number of people, even if he is dissatisfied, in order to continue to stay in the court, I am afraid he can only firmly stand on the side of the eldest son.

After all, no one else can tolerate themselves.

Although Zhang Cang was a little displeased with Fusu's thoughts, he didn't really take it to heart, he was more concerned about the impact of this court on the court.

Judging from Fusu's performance, I am afraid that he is not aware of the problem at all.

Zhang Cang touched the beard with a sparse chin, his eyes showed a deep solemnity, and he said slowly: "Although the content of this court meeting seems to be to maintain the strict law, in fact, the real purpose is to suppress the meritorious group and deliberately suppress the meritorious heroes who originally occupied the court. ”

"It's just a little too fluid."

"It's like it's arranged."

"However, looking at the appearance of the eldest son from beginning to end, it seems that he is not aware of this at all, and his whole mind is focused on rectifying the rule of officials, so Du He and the others are clearly angry, but they have never been able to refute it forcefully, and in the end they can only pinch their noses and endure this incident."

"The eldest son doesn't have much awareness of this, Your Majesty is probably aware of it, and he is involved in it."

"Even a strong pusher."

"That's not right."

Zhang Cang shook his head.

If the First Emperor was really involved, Fusu would not be aware of it.

And he himself is involved in the whole process, and he knows a lot about many things, if the first emperor really intervenes, it is impossible to be completely inconspicuous, so the first emperor is likely to just push the boat with the water.

Come to think of this.

Zhang Cang felt unreasonable.

Because this time it seems to have been planned.

Since the wreck of Huaixian, it seems that this is destined to happen.

A thought.

He thought of Ji Heng.

The man who goes by the pseudonym Mr. Chung.

Zhang Cang's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, combing through what he knew in his mind, and then repeating it over and over again, constantly thinking about the relevant details, mainly Ji Heng's words and deeds and the situation in the court.

Ultimately.

Zhang Cang's eyes shrank, and his expression became deep.

He whispered: "Judging from the known situation, it is imperative for Your Majesty to suppress the children of meritorious heroes, and it seems that all this will happen, and it is true. ”

"Over the years, the sons of Great Qin's heroes have gradually stolen the court."

"The Meng, Feng, Yang and other big clans, their children have long been ranked in the court, and the children of people like Du He, Zhaoping, and Yao Jia are still serving in the official office under the Three Princes and Nine Qing Mansions, but it won't take too long to enter the court."

"This situation is not what His Majesty wants to see."

"In the past, the focus of the imperial court was to promote the new system and prevent the restoration of the Six Kingdoms, and His Majesty chose to turn a blind eye to this, and in this half a year, His Majesty seems to have refocused his attention from the world back to the court, and began to deliberately rectify the court."

"It's just that the movements are relatively slight, and they don't cause panic among the courtiers."

"And this time it's a little too big."

"It's so big that it makes the courtiers panic."

Zhang Cang scratched his head, still a little unfigured.

Even if His Majesty has the intention to rectify the court, this time the progress is too smooth.

It's not like an unexpected situation at all.

It's more like it's been planned for a long time.

He held the table in his hand and let himself stand up.

He wrapped his arms around him and held his forehead in the other, pacing back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, "What if it was really planned in secret? So what's going on? ”

"Your Majesty has sent a signal to Ji Heng through the transfer of officials?"

"Ji Heng got the signal and used this to plan this shipwreck? And then with the help of the eldest son's hand, the suppression was completed smoothly and smoothly? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Cang was also taken aback.

He subconsciously wanted to deny it.

It's just that after thinking about it for a while, I feel that it is indeed possible.

And the possibilities are enormous.

His Majesty and Ji Heng are both scheming everyone, if the two of them are secretly plotting, ordinary people can't watch out for it at all, and there is no way to guard against it, Your Majesty is in the deep palace, and most of your daily actions will fall into the eyes of the courtiers, so as long as Your Majesty doesn't make much action, the courtiers will basically not guess Your Majesty's head.

And Ji Heng is a dead man.

If it hadn't been for the eldest son, he wouldn't have guessed at all.

A person who shouldn't exist is calculating the court, if this is said, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

But it's all true.

It's just that few people in the world can know.

Zhang Cang took a deep breath, his body trembled slightly, he felt as if he had an insight into a fatal matter, if he said it, he was afraid that his head would fall to the ground immediately.

He craned his neck, his expression nervous.

Cautiously returned to his seat.

He looked at the doors and windows and whispered, "If that's the case, a lot of things make sense." ”

"Ji Heng is the shadow of His Majesty's shadows, and the eldest son is His Majesty's tool to attract the imperial court.

"All of this is for a system."

"It is the system of 'the children of meritorious heroes, choose those who are capable, or they can first fake the county to abide by the county order, and wait for their political achievements to be revealed, and then worship the officials', at that time, because of the prevention of the world, a few years later, the imperial court did not really review the political achievements of these people, but directly appointed the children of these meritorious heroes as officials."

"Your Majesty's move is to mend this system."

"Avoid the heroes from falling behind."

"So it seems."

"It's inevitable that businessmen will make trouble."

"Even if the businessman didn't choose to take a risk this time, sooner or later, he would not be able to stand the exploitation of the imperial court, and finally chose to make trouble, but the movement was big and small."

"No matter how big or small, it will eventually fall on the so-called "Shang Law" and "Gong Law", and then point the finger at the Tingwei Mansion, the reason why it can go so smoothly this time is mainly that Shang Jia stabbed things too big, so there is no need to wait for Shang Jia to make three or four things and stab them together."

"It is a given that the Tingwei Mansion will be questioned!"

"As long as Your Majesty doesn't change his mind, as long as Shang Jia still has interests, the final result will not change in any way, it's just a matter of time."

"This is a conspiracy between His Majesty and Ji Heng."

"The eldest son has been in the bureau from beginning to end, and he has a very shallow understanding of this, and he has been under the control of Ji Heng, but he has indeed made a lot of progress through this, but compared to the people in these two layouts, he is too immature and too ignorant of the world."

Forthwith.

Zhang Cang frowned again.

Because His Majesty has always lived in the palace.

I basically didn't leave the palace in the past two years, how did I contact Ji Heng?

Even if there was an agreement earlier, but one person is in the DPRK and the other is in the opposition, and the judgment of the situation is different, why can there be such a just right 'cooperation'?

Zhang Cang felt quite magical.

He thought about it, and felt like he was thinking too much.

His Majesty may not have known this, but he relied on his control of the court to judge the matter, and then made the most favorable judgment, so as to use the matter for himself.

Regardless of the ultimate truth.

Ji Heng and His Majesty probably have a tacit understanding.

It's just that this kind of scene is too advanced and far from being able to understand it.

He couldn't predict what Ji Heng would do next, Ji Heng seemed to be able to do anything, and he seemed to dare to touch anything.

Zhang Cang shook his head.

He sighed and said helplessly: "It's obvious that they are calculating, why is it me who has a blue nose and swollen face?" Who did I provoke? Why am I so miserable? ”

"Pack up your things and go home for shelter for a few days."

"Alas!"

Zhang Cang put the honeypot in his backpack.

If you can't provoke it, you can hide.

He now understands that the water in the court is very muddy.

It's so muddy that it makes people drown.

Now the people in the court, except for themselves, I am afraid that few people can see these clearly, and they all think that the eldest son is looking for trouble, but as everyone knows, they all fell into His Majesty's calculations.

His Majesty and Ji Heng went up and down.

A court.

A plot for the countryside.

The calculation of the world is clear.

It seems that there is no intersection, but in fact, they are quietly connected through the eldest son, but even the eldest son who is in it is not conscious, let alone others.

Looking at the world, it is all in the game!

Zhang Cang left the official office with his backpack on his back.

He has already made up his mind, this time the court action is not over, and he will definitely not go back easily.

It's a big deal to keep taking a break from illness.

Anyway, he is fat, and he doesn't have much political affairs in charge, even if he is sick all the time, not many people care, but he can escape from the whirlpool of the imperial court.

Noon.

Xianyang City is lively again.

I don't know who leaked the news and passed on the content of the court meeting, but the language is unknown, just that this time the government is very active, and the court will also be greatly moved, but no one can explain what happened.

But it also makes many people curious.

I was also a little curious about the notice that will be posted today.

Di shop.

Zhang Liang also heard this rumor.

He didn't think it was groundless, but he thought it was true.

He sat in the lobby of the Didian this morning, listening to the conversations of visitors from all over the world, he had been walking outside for many years, and he still had some understanding of some situations, such as the wine house, the dining house, and the Didian, which were the most well-informed and the fastest.

He also likes to listen to conversations, from which he hears a lot of information, as well as all kinds of gossip and trivia.

However, after several hands of dissemination, these news may have already been completely unsightly, so we still need to consider and extract useful information by ourselves, but from this information, we can still understand some information.

Compared with Zhang Liang's ability to sit still, He Yang obviously couldn't sit still.

After sitting in the shop for a while, I couldn't bear it anymore and went out to inquire by myself.

Zhang Liang held the pottery bowl in his hand, listening to the discussions around him, a chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth, but a trace of sorrow appeared between his eyebrows from time to time.

What exactly is Qin Ting planning?

Time flies.

Soon it was afternoon.

The long-awaited notice was finally posted.

The housekeeper of the store supported the desk with one hand, and everyone in the store was not anxious, and they were all waiting quietly in the store, after the situation three days ago, they already knew that the housekeeper was afraid that they would have sent someone to see the notice.

So just wait for the news.

Sure enough.

In less than half an hour, the thin young man returned.

He said loudly: "Big thing, big thing, the notice said that the court captain Meng Yi was dismissed, and the rest of the court officials were either demoted or demoted, and the entire court government was basically punished, and the iron officials and salt officials under the rule of the young government were also dismissed." ”

"The government is moving too much this time!"

A word fell.

The audience was stunned.

Even people who were not very interested in this originally heard the news of the young man, and immediately couldn't sit still, so they suddenly got up and approached and asked, "Thin monkey, did you hear it right?" You said that the government punished the entire Tingwei Mansion? ”

The thin young man said with an affirmative face: "I heard it really well, there is no half-truth, this is what the official who posted the notice said personally, I don't believe that you can ask other people later, it is definitely the same statement." ”

"The government has really disposed of the entire Tingwei Mansion!"

Hearing the thin young man's constant affirmation, everyone was still a little shocked.

The whole person is a little unstable.

This is a big deal.

The whole Tingwei Mansion.

Hundreds of officials were punished like this?

This kind of thing, they didn't dare to think about in the past, and when they heard the news, they only felt like a dream, full of unreal feelings.

Zhang Liang's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "The official who posted the notice, did he ever say the reason for the government's disposition?" ”

The thin young man nodded and said, "The government must have said this." ”

"There are so many people who died in Huai County, and the officials of the Tingwei Mansion are derelict in their duties, and the laxity of the government is inseparable, after the last government issued a decree, it has been clearly announced that the status of the merchant is no different from that of ordinary people, and the Tingwei Mansion has not formulated corresponding rules and laws on this, which has caused the great turmoil in Guanzhong, so the entire Tingwei Mansion has been condemned."

"It's all posted directly on the notice."

"In addition to the Tingwei Mansion, there are also salt officials and iron officials under the rule of the Shaofu, all of them have been dismissed, and hundreds of big officials have been convicted at once, and the government is really ruthless this time."

"This eldest son has a gentle temperament when he hears others, and he is so ruthless."

The thin young man couldn't help but mutter.

Sheren immediately scolded: "Hugh is arrogant, the eldest son's move is obviously in accordance with the law, but this time hundreds of people have drowned, how can the government escape responsibility for such a big case?" Qin Law already has a stipulation, if there is a problem under the rule, it will be ordered and sitting. ”

"This time it's the lack of law, and it's the entire court governor's mansion that suffers."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Since Your Majesty has asked them for their guilt, there is a corresponding reason, how can you wait and speak?"

The people sitting around muttered, and they didn't refute it, but their minds couldn't calm down for a long time, and the government hadn't had such a major event for a long time.

Even last year's pit Fangshi, and Xu Fuzhulian a few months ago, did not make such a big move, this is a whole big official office, the imperial court Jiuqing, such a high authority, still say that the punishment will be punished, how can they calm down?

"Little monkey, what about the others?" Sheren continued to ask.

The thin young man continued: "After announcing the punishment of the relevant dereliction of duty, the government also announced that it will promulgate the "Commercial Law" and "Industrial Law" in June this year to strictly regulate the words and deeds of businessmen, and reverse the current businessman's 'law can be prohibited if there is no law' to 'prohibit without authorization of the law'. ”

"Completely and strictly restrain the behavior of businessmen to avoid the recurrence of such a vicious incident in Huaixian."

"In addition, a month-long safety inspection will be carried out in Guanzhong."

"In case something like this doesn't happen again."

"And."

The thin young man was very fast-mouthed, and he said all the words he memorized.

Zhang Liang stood in front of him, listening quietly, and only after the thin young man finished speaking, he quietly left the crowd, and then went straight back to the room.

Listening to the bursts of cheers from time to time, Zhang Liang's arm trembled slightly.

Qin Ting's thunderous move not only shocked the people in the city, but also shocked him.

He felt a deep sense of unease.
