Following.

The news of Fusu sending people to inform the officials on the roster soon spread throughout the court.

The names of the officials on the roster were also revealed one by one.

Listening to the unfamiliar names spoken by the subordinates in the family, Hu Wujing only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

The courtiers and children he had contacted privately, none of them were in the roster, and the only few names he knew on it were all the children of important ministers, such as the son of Li Si, the son of Zheng Guo, the son of Wang Ben, etc., and he had never even heard of the names of other officials.

Xiao He of Pei County, Wu Rui of Wu County, Cao Ji of Qi County, etc., are all local officials.

The release of this roster not only surprised Hu Wujing's reaction, but also surprised all the courtiers, and even many courtiers did not expect it at all.

Hu Wujing stared straight at the bamboo slips with his eyes.

My body was a little untenable.

He held his body to keep himself from collapsing.

He did calculate Fusu, but why didn't Fusu come back?

I thought that even if Fusu was dissatisfied with himself, but at that time, he privately contacted the establishment of the prince's mansion, after all, he had already carried it down, and he had not said any name to the outside world.

Fusu didn't know that he had secretly contacted those officials, even if he wanted to target these officials, but he didn't know the names of these officials, how could he target them?

He had expected that someone would be able to make the cut.

Perhaps the children of these courtiers will be selected more or less.

Although he is still a little difficult to explain, he can somewhat excuse himself, but now with the release of the roster, Hu Wujing only feels that the sky has fallen.

Especially yesterday in the court, Fusu said that he listened to his own advice.

This made Hu Wujing's heart chill for a while.

Follow your own advice?

When did you give advice to Fusu?

When did you let Fusu not use the children of courtiers?

Yes!

Thinking that he had inexplicably borne such a big grievance, Hu Wujing wanted to die with grievances in his heart, and what made Hu Wujing feel even more desperate was that what Fusu said would most likely make the courtiers believe it.

The anger and resentment caused by this roster will eventually fall on him.

Yesterday, he couldn't bear the courtiers' questioning, and now he is directly being realized, where has he suffered such grievances? Ever under this pressure?

Thinking of the scene he was about to face, Hu Wujing couldn't help but be full of horror, and finally couldn't support it anymore, spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out on the spot.

Imperial Historian's House.

The news of Hu Wujing's fainting soon spread throughout the court.

Naturally, it also fell into Zhang Cang's ears.

Hearing this news, Zhang Cang's face was afraid, and his eyes were full of sighs, if it weren't for his cleverness, otherwise the person who vomited blood and fell into a coma now would be himself.

And that's what he was worried about.

It's too big.

There are too many people to offend.

It's so big that it can't be afforded by ordinary courtiers.

Hu Wujing couldn't bear it.

He couldn't either.

This is still mixed with the sons of some important ministers, otherwise the scene is even more ugly, the huge court, hundreds of courtiers, hundreds of officials, and none of them can enter the affairs of Fusu?

This was too much of a slap in the face for the Manchu ministers.

In particular, it is rumored that Fusu has inquired about the situation many times, which has pushed the matter to an extremely grim scene, and it also proves that it is not that he is not chosen, but that he does not look down on it, or that he thinks that the talents of these courtiers and Lang officials are not comparable to those of local officials.

The hat was too big, too big for anyone to take it.

Even if Hu Wujing is ranked Jiuqing, he can't bear it.

This is a direct offense to all the courtiers.

Zhang Cang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and he was also frightened in his heart.

And after he returned yesterday, he had already thought of a wording for himself to deal with the subsequent inquiries of other officials.

He will blame all the things related to the courtiers on Hu Wujing.

He was indeed asked by Fusu to provide a roster, but what His Royal Highness told him was only to let Guanzhong and Kwantung be balanced, and Hu Wujing was in charge of the court, and he was naturally in charge of the locality, but he didn't know much about local officials, so he could only introduce officials who were at the forefront of the past assessment.

As for the rest, he knew nothing.

And the situation on Hu Wujing's side, he also didn't know, he thought that there were so many Lang officials in the Manchu Dynasty, Hu Wujing would definitely choose a lot of people, so in order to balance each other, he put on some more places for His Highness to choose, but he really didn't expect that Hu Wujing would be like this in the end.

Come to think of this.

Zhang Cang thought carefully in his heart, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with his words, and his originally impatient mood gradually calmed down.

Sure enough.

Not long after Zhang Cang adjusted his mind, a courtier came to the door angrily.

The person who came was also an imperial historian.

Ma Xing.

Ma Xing is a descendant of Zhao Hao, the former Ma Fujun, and is also related to Zhao Kuo, but he later changed the clan of Zhao Hao's fiefdom, and this person is also quite prestigious in the court.

Zhang Cang didn't dare to slack off.

He cautiously asked, "Brother Ma, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”

Ma Xing glared at Zhang Cang, what is he talking about, can Zhang Cang still not know? However, he didn't get angry, but suppressed his anger and asked, "Zhang Yushi, I just want to know, why didn't His Royal Highness Fusu's affairs office select officials from among the Lang officials?" ”

"Since the newly opened official offices of the imperial court, they all give priority to the selection of Lang officials, why do you want to change the rules this time?"

Zhang Cang said with a look of grievance: "Brother Ma, you really wronged me, I just have an ordinary imperial history, how can I know about the Lang officials under the Prime Minister's Mansion?" The opening of the affairs office by His Royal Highness this time is indeed a major event for the court, how dare I be negligent? ”

"It's just that Brother Ma should also know."

"I, Zhang Cang, have always been obsessed with political affairs in the past, and I don't care about other things in the imperial court, and I rarely interact with other officials, so when His Royal Highness handed over this matter to me, I was also terrified, lest it would be unfavorable and ruin His Highness's prestige."

"I, Zhang Cang, have only served as the imperial historian for three years, and I have always been a bookkeeper in the past, even if I serve as the imperial historian, I am still a responsible account, and I don't know much about the situation in the court, and the only thing I have contact with is the annual assessment."

"So I reported the officials who ranked top in the annual assessment."

"As for why there is no Lang Guan."

"I'm also wronged, is Feng Chang responsible for this matter? I'm not familiar with the imperial court, and I don't know much about it, so how dare I go to the registration register at will? At that time, when I was registered, I thought that there were many officials in the imperial court, and if I didn't report more to some local officials, I might attract criticism. ”

"That's why I deliberately overreported."

"I just didn't think about it"

Zhang Cang spread his hands, his eyes full of bitterness.

"You really don't know about this?" Ma Xing asked coldly.

Zhang Cang hurriedly shook his head, and said in a very firm tone: "I really don't know." ”

Zhang Cang didn't lie.

If it weren't for the roster coming out this time, he wouldn't have known that he had recommended so many people.

Ma Xing stared at Zhang Cang with straight eyes, and suddenly said, "Since you are so close to His Royal Highness, don't you have anything to say about this roster?" ”

Zhang Cang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know where Brother Ma's closeness comes from." ”

"I am both Great Qin's courtiers, and we are all acting on orders, so how can we be close to each other? It's just that I'm in charge of the assessment of local officials for the imperial history, so I was entrusted with an important task by His Royal Highness this time, if you don't dare, there is actually nothing special. ”

Regarding Zhang Cang's words, Ma Xing was noncommittal.

Zhang Cang and Fusu are very close, and this matter has long been known to the court.

And he could hear that Zhang Cang was actually deliberately diverting the topic, he would not let Zhang Cang succeed, Ma Xing said coldly: "I think this roster is a little inappropriate, Daqin has three or four hundred Lang officials, so many young talents, it is not appropriate to be so overkill, I think they can enter the affairs office to handle political affairs for His Highness." ”

Zhang Cang said with a sad face: "But the roster has been decided?" ”

Ma Xing said disapprerovingly: "I have a roster here, since you are responsible for this matter, you can hand it over to His Highness and let His Highness make a decision." ”

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang's eyes condensed slightly.

Ma Xing clearly wants to pit himself.

Fusu just didn't want to mess with himself, so he threw the problem to himself, and if he threw the problem to His Highness again, wouldn't it be asking for trouble for himself.

Moreover, Ma Xing's identity and status are above himself, but he didn't go by himself, but forced himself to go, not counting himself.

Zhang Cang directly refused.

He was very sure: "I am afraid that this will not be able to obey my fate." ”

"I am only responsible for the selection of local officials, as for the court officials and Lang officials, Hu Fengchang is all in charge, how dare I overstep my responsibilities? Ma Yushi will not say anything more. ”

Seeing that Zhang Cang suddenly became angry, Ma Xing's eyes changed slightly.

He looked at Zhang Cang deeply a few times, and finally just snorted coldly, didn't say anything more, and left directly.

Zhang Cang sent him off with a cold face.

After sending Ma Xing away, Zhang Cang wiped his forehead, and a lot of sweat was overflowing on his forehead.

He gasped slightly: "The Vanity Fair of the court is too tempting for people, Ma Xing is only the first, but it will never be the last." ”

"Behind them is a huge group of heroes."

"There are hundreds of sons and daughters of heroes."

"This time, His Highness is too ruthless and ruthless, and the exclusion of all the children of these heroes has caused panic and uneasiness among these heroes, and they are eager to reverse the situation."

"How many people in the world can endure the poison of power?"

"And how many people can really be indifferent?"

"It's just Your Highness, you should have set off early, if you don't leave, I'm afraid Zhang Cang won't be able to hold on, this is not one or two, but the sons and daughters of the heroes of the Manchu Dynasty, the power behind these people is too great, even Li Si is afraid of a few points, I Zhang Cang can stop one person, two people, and where can I stop dozens of people?"

Zhang Cang's eyebrows showed deep worry.

Fusu's affairs this time is actually a sub-power distribution.

However, Fusu did it too ruthlessly, and he didn't want the courtiers to enter the soup at all, the benefits of this were obvious, and the disadvantages were also clear at a glance, which was at the cost of offending the Manchu ministers.

If it weren't for Li Si, Wang and other important ministers' children to enter it, otherwise the turmoil this time would only be even greater.

This is still the situation where Hu Wujing is in front, if there is no Hu Wujing in front of him, he may choose to run away.

Offended the entire Daqin hero group, where is there any place for this in the court? It's a blessing to be able to pick up a life, but you can't hope for anything else.

Faintly.

Zhang Cang felt more and more like a lonely minister.

However, only a lonely minister can protect himself in the intricate court of Great Qin.

But it's just self-preservation.

Come to think of this.

Zhang Cang couldn't help but rejoice.

At that time, in order not to be noticed by the court, he chose to distance himself from other courtiers, and did not take the initiative to make friends with people, as if all his thoughts were on political affairs, so he could barely cope with the past today, because he did not move around with people, and second, he did not take the initiative to climb and make friends, and he was bored in the official office all day long, and he did not know much about the situation of the imperial court.

So it's understandable that I can't recommend those Lang officials.

It's just that Fusu seems to be going more and more extreme now.

He doesn't know if he can still bear his small body.

If you can't bear it.

He really decided to run away.

The court is too dangerous.

He felt like he was about to lose himself.

After Ma Xing left, another official came soon, but they were all prevaricated back by Zhang Cang for various reasons, and they couldn't prevaricate, so they directly pushed everything to Hu Wujing.

After Zhang Cang experienced several days of torture, Fusu finally began to set off for the south.

On the day when Fusu set off for the south, Hu Wujing failed to survive this period of questioning, and directly announced his retirement on the same day, and the first emperor finally agreed after several retention.

For Hu Wujing's retreat, there are not many people in the DPRK and China who sympathize with him.

In the powerful court of Great Qin, incompetence is wrong.

It's also a sin!

And Hu Wujing not only failed to deal with this political turmoil, but also completely tossed himself in, with this result, in fact, it was already doomed, and even Hu Wujing was able to hold on for so long, which was somewhat unexpected by many courtiers.

Fusu went south, and Hu Wujing retreated, so that the turmoil gradually subsided.

It's just that everyone knows that this pacification is temporary, and the seeds of mutual distrust between Fusu and the courtiers have already sprouted in this turmoil, and if the distrust between them continues to expand in the future, a greater political turmoil will definitely break out at that time.

But for now, it's gone.

Pei county.

Xiao He finished dealing with daily political affairs and was about to go home, when a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the mansion, and a small official hurriedly entered the official office and said urgently: "Lord Xiao, there is an order from Xianyang." ”

Xiao He frowned, and said in a condensed voice: "Xianyang has a decree, and the county order should be transmitted, why did it come to me?" ”

The little official shook his head and said, "Lord Xiao, this is the order given to you by the imperial court." ”

Hear the words.

Xiao He was stunned.

He stretched out his hand to take the order, read it carefully, and whispered: "His Royal Highness Fusu has prepared to build a affairs office, and he is about to go south in the near future, and I am actually among the officials of His Royal Highness Fusu's affairs office?" The order also clearly stated that after receiving the order, I need to rush to Lingling County in Changsha County within a month. ”

Looking at this order, Xiao He was silent for a long time.

This sudden order was completely unexpected.

Tomorrow's three watches, 12,000
