On the other side, Wang Jiaping had returned home, surrounded by a few of his henchmen.

"Elder Ge is really clever."

"Now that the ministers are sparse, Your Majesty has to compromise, thinking that the eldest son of the emperor will definitely be able to leave the cabinet to study soon...... No, he must be canonized as a prince! This is the victory I am waiting for, and I will correct Your Majesty from the wrong path of love! ”

"This is all the work of the elder of the pavilion!"

"Your name should be in the history books, and it will be praised by my Confucian disciples after a thousand years!"

The henchman slapped a horse in a small way.

Wang Jiaping squinted his eyes, obviously very useful. With a little pride in his indifferent expression, he said:

"I don't dare to leave a name in the history books, I just did what loyal ministers like me should do."

"Your Majesty is still young, and it is easy to be seduced by adulterous women and beautiful women, and make stupid acts."

"And my Confucian disciples, the saints' disciples, naturally take the old Bigan and Wei Zheng as examples, always correct Your Majesty's shortcomings, and bring peace to the world."

Several henchmen around him nodded again and again, with a look of approval, but whether their hearts were as above board as Wang Jiaping said, it was another matter.

Of course, this is because of the inheritance system of Confucian etiquette and ancestral teachings, but it is impossible to say that everyone has no selfish intentions and is completely disregarding official positions for the sake of etiquette.

Some officials thought of taking this opportunity to hug the thighs of the cabinet; Some officials are fighting for their own reputation; Some officials wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with the prince.

Even Wang Jiaping himself has the intention of taking advantage of this incident to increase his fame and reputation and ascend to the throne.

Therefore, when his henchman said the words to leave his name in the history books, although he was still modest on the surface, he was actually very excited in his heart.

If you can really make a name for yourself in the history books, and future generations can see your reputation and know that it was you who led the Confucian disciples and stopped the emperor's absurd actions, then it would really be in vain.

Maybe he will become a representative of the virtuous ministers like Bi Gan and Wei Zheng, and be worshiped by the world!

Wang Jiaping thought about it, and his heart was already a little burning.

Fame and fortune, the attraction of fame to literati is beyond people's imagination.

A few people drank tea and laughed, and their words were full of relaxation.

As if he had already decided that the emperor would soon send the emperor's eldest son out of the cabinet to study, and then issue an edict to establish a prince.

However, before the tea had been drunk for two cups, there was a noisy sound outside the door.

Several henchmen raised their heads in amazement, and said that Wang Ge Lao's management of slaves was really relaxed, and Wang Jiaping also felt that he had lost face, and couldn't help but snort:

"So presumptuous! Remember the rules? How can you make noise in the mansion and go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment yourself! ”

With his voice, there was a sudden silence outside the door.

"My subordinates, I always don't read poetry and books, and I don't know how to ......count etiquette," Wang Jiaping smiled indifferently, and before he finished speaking, the door of their room was kicked open with a strong force, and the loud sound forced him back before he spoke!

A few people looked back in surprise and a little anger, and then the anger dissipated like ice and snow.

Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife, is a brocade guard.

The Jinyi Wei Qianhu led by him showed the sign and smiled:

"Your Majesty, please."

He stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, but the henchmen shivered when they saw this.

The emperor is invited, so it should be for the eunuch palace to inform and order Jinyiwei to come...... What good thing can that be?

"You guys are mistaken, I'm the second assistant of the cabinet, Wang Jiaping, a scholar of the Jianji Palace!" Wang Jiaping was stunned and roared.

The emperor had just compromised under their forced palace, how could it be possible to send Jinyi guards to arrest people?

Isn't he afraid that he and others will strike on the spot and stop the Ming Dynasty?

Jin Yiwei's smile remained the same. Although his demeanor is respectful, his attitude is also unusually resolute:

"Elder Wang Ge, if you act according to orders, there will be no fake."

Wang Jiaping was stunned for a moment, he felt that the development of things was a little beyond his control, and it was clear that the emperor had compromised.

But when he thought about it, he was fearless—

What can the emperor do? If they are gone, how will the court function?

Thinking like this, Wang Jiaping regained his confidence and walked out of the house with his head held high.

However, after reaching the noon gate, the team escorting him stopped and did not continue on.

Wang Jiaping looked at it and suddenly felt bad.

Without him, in front of the noon gate at this time, a large group of civil servants were gathered here, and they were the officials who resigned, Xu Guo and Wang Xijue were among them.

And with the arrival of Wang Jiaping and his henchmen, all the ministers officially arrived.

Emperor Wanli was really enraged, and he ordered all the officials who had submitted their resignations to be arrested, and they were given sixty rods in the court outside the noon gate.

Suddenly, there was a crying sound of father and mother in front of the noon gate, and the thick stick fell on the snow-white buttocks, splashing a burst of blood, accompanied by a miserable wail.

That tragic situation is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who hear it.

Wang Jiaping was also a little stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Earlier, the emperor was clearly bullied enough by him, why was he suddenly so tough?

But before he could figure out what was going on, two brocade guards had already pulled him over and forcibly took off his pants.

This time, the three ministers could not be forgiven, and Wang Jiaping soon joined the ranks of screaming.

Fortunately, the Jinyi guards still have a heavy hand, they are "really fighting", and they have learned a lesson, but they will not die.

When the sixty canes per person were finished, there was a group of officials lying in front of the noon gate, and the important ministers of the party who had scolded Fang Xuan in the court were all covering their bleeding buttocks with tears in their eyes at this time.

Fortunately, it is not a loss to be beaten to change fame, thinking of this, Wang Jiaping cleared his throat and was about to speak again.

However, at this time, a eunuch stood up, directly interrupted his words, and read out the emperor's dictation:

"Since you don't want to be an official, then I'll fulfill you."

"From tomorrow, these one hundred and thirty-two people outside the noon gate will be able to return to their hometowns on their own!"

"Remember, this is not your resignation, but I, cutting your position!"

The eunuch's shrill voice fell on the square outside the noon gate, and the venue of thousands of people was quiet, and not one of them spoke.

All the officials on the ground opened their mouths wide and their eyes were full of shock.

No, you're going to be fired?

Ten years of hard work and management, hard to survive to the current official position, and then you tell me, it's gone?

Doesn't it mean that a good emperor will back down, not only will we not be dismissed, but we will also be able to gain fame? What's going on?

Suddenly, countless eyes focused on Wang Jiaping's body, and that gaze was full of anger, eager to tear him apart.

Someone even spoke:

"Elder Wang Ge, what's going on?"

"Wang Jiaping, you need to give us an explanation!"

If it was in the past, then they might still have the idea that the emperor could not lack them and die with the emperor to the end.

But now, they who had just received the court rod were really afraid. They thought they had read the emperor's thoughts, and thought that the emperor was hot-blooded, and he planned to fight to the end to affect the operation of the imperial court, so they were naturally unwilling, and they had already had a strong sense of regret at this time.

There are even a few people who are already planning to secretly confess their sins and ask for the emperor's forgiveness.

And the anger of everyone present also needs to be poured out, and the target of the backlash is naturally the leader this time - the second assistant of the cabinet, Wang Jiaping.

Feeling the anger of everyone, Wang Jiaping lay on the ground and trembled.

He didn't expect Wanli to be so rigid! It was clear that he had backed down before, why did he become tough again for a while?

He couldn't figure it out, but he knew that his dream of being the first assistant was broken.

……

Wanli received a reward from the eunuchs in the deep palace. After hearing the reaction of the officials on the scene, he couldn't help but pat his thigh again and again, his eyes full of the happiness of successful revenge.

"This Yan Chenhao is really capable, so easily let the two levels be reversed, which makes this Wang Jiaping angry." He smiled and boasted:

"I didn't expect him to not only see people, but also to be so sharp in this method, wonderful, really wonderful!"

"I'm going to put him to good use!"

Hearing this, the surrounding eunuchs looked at each other a few times, and their eyes couldn't help but flash a look of envy.

Jane is in the heart of the emperor!

This soaring is just around the corner!
