"Great! The official family is finally going to give us an official title! ”

Xiang Jia, Xiang Zongliang, and Xiang Zonghui brothers said excitedly.

The Empress Dowager Xiang has no son-in-law, although she is nominally the Empress Dowager, but in fact she is not close to the official family, for fear that the Xiang family will be arrogant and domineering, and cause trouble, she has been suppressing the Xiang family and not letting the Xiang family be an official.

Now Zhao Xu took the initiative to ask for officials from the two brothers of the Xiang family in order to envelop the Empress Dowager Xiang, and the Xiang family was suppressed for many years, and once he got the opportunity, he naturally couldn't wait to come to Kaifeng City to wait.

However, there are many officials in the world who seek officials, and many people have not been in line for many years and have not yet been in favor of seeking officials.

"This time, we must ask for a real lack of official positions, the official family has made great contributions, and the official family will naturally not treat the Xiang family badly." Xiang Zongliang said excitedly.

Xiang Zonghui nodded excitedly, the Xiang family has been suppressed for nearly twenty years, and he can't wait, if he doesn't seize the opportunity at this moment, once the Empress Dowager Xiang has three longs and two shorts, the Xiang family will completely decline.

When the Xiang brothers rushed to the palace, they found that it was not they who were summoned together, the descendants of the Gao family were also there, and there were also a group of middle-aged officials, who were obviously Enyin officials who had not waited for many years.

"The official has arrived!" With Tong Guan's sharp voice, Zhao Xu appeared in front of a group of graceful officials.

"The ministers knock on the officials!" A group of alternate officials bowed down their excitement.

When Zhao Xu saw the people of the Xiang family and the Gao family, he couldn't help but smile and said, "All of you Aiqing are officials who have not been on the bench for many years, and I have treated you Aiqing badly. ”

"The official's words are serious, and the ministers don't dare!" Xiang Zongliang immediately expressed his loyalty, they were not alternated for officials, and it was naturally impossible to say that they had no opinions, and now that they were about to be elected to official positions, their previous complaints were naturally swept away.

Other alternate officials are also loyal.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Now I have an important task to hand over to you Aiqing!" ”

"Heavy duty!"

The Xiang brothers couldn't help but be surprised, and the other alternate officials couldn't help but be shocked, Huo Ran raised his head.

What is a heavy responsibility, the greater the official position, the heavier the responsibility.

"It's time for the ministers to go to the soup and fight the fire!"

A group of alternate officials couldn't wait.

"Good! You should have all heard that I am implementing the practice of serving into the mu, which is a century-old plan of the imperial court. Zhao Xu said solemnly.

The hearts of the alternate officials were sudden, and they naturally heard about the uproar of the stall into the mu, although they did not agree in their hearts, but now they can't take care of so much for the sake of their official positions.

Besides, only by joining the law change can you become the henchman of the official family, and you will not be able to soar in the future.

Zhao Xu continued: "I have decided to let Feng Er and others be the inspectors to supervise the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu in Kaifeng Mansion. ”

The brothers of the Xiang family frowned suddenly, the official position of the inspector seems to be majestic, but he has no real power, and the work of clearing the acres is the work of offending people, this official is thankless, but it is not a good job.

The other alternate officials were also silent, obviously understanding that this patrol envoy was not easy to do, but Zhao Xu's next sentence made everyone's breath stagnate.

"If it is discovered that some officials are colluding with the top and bottom, disobeying the good and the bad, and accepting bribes to maliciously obstruct the clearing of the fields, once it is verified, they will be immediately removed from their posts, and then they can be filled with their official posts immediately." Zhao Xu said.

"It's time to make up for it!"

Suddenly, all the alternate officials were breathless, once upon a time they had been waiting for many years and still had not reached the real shortage, and even if they had the opportunity, they were just petty officials in remote places, and the officials were also contemptuous chains, and the officials of the Jinshi and the rank were the easiest to promote, and it was easy for Enyin to seek officials and get officials, and it was extremely difficult to be promoted, and the rank and power of officials were low.

Now that it's time to make up for it, they may directly alternate for the Beijing official, and the lord Bo will go to work, and they will be waiting for the county order, and they will be waiting for the county order, which is a godsend.

"The ministers will definitely live up to the grace of God!"

The alternate officials did not hesitate.

Get out of the palace! Gao Gongjie, a descendant of the Gao family, deliberately narrowed the distance between him and the descendants of the Xiang family, and said at the moment: "The two uncles will not fail to understand the purpose of the official family, the most hidden fields in Kaifeng Mansion are noble people, and the official family is using us as a gunman." ”

Nowadays, there are many alternate officials, and why the official family wants to appoint people from the Gao family and the Xiang family, their intentions are naturally known to everyone.

Xiang Zongliang sneered: "So what? You and I want to be officials, where does the official position come from! Naturally, someone will go down, and I can only go up after waiting. ”

"If it's a normal candidate, it's my turn to wait, I'm afraid it's only a deputy in a remote place at most, but now there is an opportunity for a six-rank Beijing official in front of me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Xiang Zonghui was also excited.

"The two uncles can think that in this way, we will completely offend the Bianjing nobles." Gao Gongjie suffers from gains and misdeeds, he is naturally interested in the position of the sixth rank of the Jingguan, but he himself is from a noble background, if so, he will isolate himself from the noble circle.

"What else? If we don't know each other and miss the opportunity, I'm afraid that during the reign of the official, we will have no chance to be an official. Xiang Zonghui sighed faintly.

Gao Gongjie was silent for a moment, he knew that what the two Xiang family said was true, on the one hand, his own future, and the other was the affection of Xungui, and naturally the affection was not as important as the future.

Xiang Zongliang continued: "Since it is a conspiracy, there is naturally no solution, even if we can't bear to make a move, what about them? ”

After that, Xiang Zongliang set his eyes on the officials who had been waiting for many years in front of him, they had been waiting for many years, and now they finally got the opportunity, so they naturally tried their best, whoever blocked him from being an official was an enemy, and Xungui was not good, and besides, the Great Song Dynasty prevailed in the rule of literati, and Xungui was not impossible to provoke.

Gao Gongjie couldn't help but be shocked, and nodded slowly, the position of a six-rank Beijing official is enough for him to let go of any affection.

"Inspector!"

When Zhao Xu appointed a group of alternate officials as inspectors for the apportionment, the entire Kaifeng Mansion and the nobles did not take it seriously at all.

After all, it is a tradition for officials to protect each other, and the county orders today help to conceal their land property, and there will naturally be officials who hide their land property in the future, even if it is an alternate official, and they cannot escape the rules of officialdom for thousands of years.

However, the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations, and these alternate officials were extremely violent, ignoring the so-called rules of officialdom, and ignoring anyone's feelings when they were investigated, and a large number of hidden fields were quickly discovered.

"Xiangfu County ordered Wei Jun to ignore the law of the country, collect bribes, and help the landlord hide the property! Take away his official position and distribute Lingnan! Xiangfu County Ya, Gao Gongjie held the holy decree in his hand and said coldly.

Xiangfu County Ling Wei Jun suddenly collapsed to the ground, he didn't expect that the Gao family would ignore the merits of the nobles and investigate the land of the lord of the lord, and let him hide all the things about the land.

"This official is unlucky, and you won't end well." Wei Jun cursed, Gao Gongjie broke the rules of officialdom, and he will definitely not tolerate officialdom in the future.

Gao Gongjie sneered: "That's not necessarily! According to the will of the official, during the inspection period, if there is an official who is corrupt and derelict in his duties, he will be dismissed and investigated, and the inspector can make up for it immediately, and the official is the new Xiangfu county order. ”

"It's time to make up for it!"

Wei Jun couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately understood the reason why Gao Gongjie was so crazy, it turned out that it was not that the Grand Duke was selfless, but that he was eyeing his official position.

"Xungui misunderstood me," Wei Jun said sadly and indignantly. He worked hard all his life, and this was only the first jinshi and the first official, but now it has come to naught.

The Great Song Dynasty was tolerant of civil officials and advocated that they should not be punished by doctors, but it was also a felony to embezzle and accept bribes.
