I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 315 The Regent is Different from the Supreme Emperor

"."

Fang Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and didn't know what to say for a while.

She wondered if she had recently read a book about a domineering master falling in love with me.

How could she say such shameful words?
After thinking about it, it seems that many martial arts scripts also have similar sentences.

In any case, these words made Fang Xiu deeply realize that Tang Rou, a patient with the second-stage middle school disease, is most likely completely hopeless.

"Cough cough."

Fang Xiu originally wanted to check his lines with her, such as "With you here, I feel at ease", but just thinking about it made my scalp tingle, and finally I couldn't say it, just smiled and said: "I believe in your ability, and I also believe in your awareness. I will give you one day to transfer the affairs of the first village in Jinnan City to your subordinates, and then report to the truth. From now on, where the truth goes is up to you. Just go there."

Tang Rou solemnly nodded, turned and left.

Looking at her back, Fang Xiu remembered what she said before, and suddenly doubts arose in his heart.

Is this girl in the late stage of secondary illness really as powerful as Shangguan Haitang said?
The number one sword in the world. It sounds a little strange.

That's it.

Now that the decision has been made, stop thinking about it.

After all, you don't need to be suspicious, but you don't need to be suspicious of employing people.

Thinking so, Fang Xiu lay back on the dragon couch, closed his eyes and got up.

at the same time.

In Wenyuan Pavilion not far from Qianqing Palace.

There are several grand master chairs in the warm pavilion.

Several cabinet scholars sat on the chairs of the grand masters, looking sad.

Stoves placed everywhere exude warmth.

The heart of the Cabinet Grand Master is icy cold.

"There are so many officials dismissed at once, including senior officials of the second and third ranks. No matter how they are dealt with, even if they are given more money, it will inevitably cause turmoil!"

Zhang Xinyuan, a senior scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said worriedly.

aside.

Guo Kui, Minister of Rites who replaced Wei Dongzheng as Dongge University Bachelor, echoed:

"Yes, among other things, just say that Gao Gong, who has just been appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has many disciples in the court, and he is very old, but he is asked to return to his hometown just because he didn't go out of the city to greet him, which will definitely cause many problems. dissatisfied, if his disciples make trouble, what should we do?"

"Which of the dismissed officials has many friends in the imperial court? They must have a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts when they are dismissed. If they join all the officials and take office together, then we will be riding a tiger."

"As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The officials who were not affected this time also know in their hearts that this is a blow to the horse. If they give in easily, they will be the fish on the chopping board in the future, and they will be slaughtered. Therefore, they will never let it go. of."

The bachelors talked a lot, and what they said was nothing more than an argument.

That is, if so many officials are dismissed at once, there will definitely be troubles.

Undoubtedly, what they said was not only the thoughts of the officials, but also their own thoughts.

Who can be a cabinet scholar, which one is not the best of the best, the old fox among the old foxes.

As soon as Li Yaoyue and Fang Xiu came back, they could smell the coming storm.

In particular, the establishment of the so-called Conference of Dagan and Dazhou Ministers of State Affairs made them even more uneasy.

Because for them, this big cadre and the meeting of ministers of political affairs in the big week are too familiar!
Isn't this what the cabinet looked like when it was first created?

Although this so-called meeting of ministers of state affairs is only for the purpose of connecting the courts of the two countries.

However, as long as one looks at the candidates for the Minister of State Affairs, one can clearly know that this is an existence above the Dagan Zhongshu Province and the Dazhou Cabinet!

If Fang Xiu's wish is fulfilled, from now on, wouldn't the Cabinet Grand Scholars be nothing more than nothing?

In the entire imperial court, only Xie Qian, the political director of the Council of Ministers, could influence the final decision of the Regent.

therefore.

Part of what they said about "all officials taking office together" and "causing turmoil" was their own ideas, and their purpose was to confront Fang Xiu and express their dissatisfaction.

Xie Qian, the chief minister of the cabinet sitting in the first seat, was silent all the time listening to the discussion of the crowd.

until everyone quiets down.

He raised his eyes and looked around at everyone, then picked up the teacup from the table and sipped it in small sips, looking calm.

Seeing this scene, the other grand scholars looked at each other, and they could all see a touch of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Mr. Xie Ge, you are in charge of the imperial court now, so you have to say something."

Dongge University scholar Guo Kui said anxiously.

aside.

Zhang Xinyuan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, echoed: "Master Ge, now you are the only one who can speak to the Prince Regent, and you should also tell the Prince Regent what you are thinking.

The present peace of the imperial court is not easy to come by, it cannot be destroyed all at once, even if the regent wants to rectify the administration of officials, he should do it gradually, and should not be in a hurry."

Speaking of this, seeing that Xie Qian was still indifferent, he gritted his teeth and raised his voice: "Ge Lao! The lesson of the Supreme Emperor is right in front of you! How can you be so anxious about such an important matter!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Xie Qian's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, a sharp light suddenly burst out from his seemingly cloudy eyes, and he looked straight at Zhang Xinyuan.

Rao, who was accustomed to seeing the storms, the Wenyuange University scholar and Hubu Shangshu, faced with such sharp eyes, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and subconsciously moved his eyes away.

at this time.

Xie Qian's old voice sounded slowly.

"The old man understands everything you say and what you think in your heart. Do you think that the old man won the position of political councilor because he has no one with you, and his mind is only thinking about how to please the regent?

To tell you the truth, this old man, more than any of you, does not want to dismiss so many people at once!You know, they are the pillars of the imperial court!All he pretends in his heart is Da Zhou's foundation, but what can the old man do?
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has made it clear that no matter who they are, even if they are first-rank officials, they will have to bear the consequences if they commit a crime!Do you think it will be useful if the old man pleads for mercy?

What the old man said to the regent has no more weight than you! "

The voice fell.

Several cabinet scholars are silent.

They didn't say anything, but they all slandered in their hearts.

If you can't even speak to the regent, wouldn't the court become the regent's voice?
It is nothing more than that you are greedy for a generous salary, afraid that your own interests will be damaged, and you dare not speak up for justice.

Xie Qian naturally knew what they were thinking, and then said: "What did you say just now, don't rush it for a while, what you said is afraid of hundreds of officials taking office together, and you use the Supreme Emperor as an example. After all, it is nothing more than feeling that the current situation of the Supreme Emperor is different from Not listening to your words is inextricably linked. If the regent does not listen to you and confronts you, you can also use the same method to deal with the regent. It is still the same old method.

But the old man warns you that the Regent is different from the Supreme Emperor. If all the officials take office at the same time, the Supreme Emperor will take into account such a record in the history books, but the Regent will not. If you dare to serve together, he will dare to agree. Promote newcomers, and even use Qianguo's Juren and Scholars.

Don't think that the regent is afraid to do this. Just a year ago, the regent did something similar in Qianguo. Anyone who offends the regent will not end well in the end. Let's face the regent. , there is only one dead end! "

These words were extremely harsh.

Almost telling them clearly.

If you dare to mess around, you have to be prepared to be punished together!
Several cabinet scholars looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.

They are naturally clear about the affairs of the country.

It is no exaggeration to say that Fang Xiu's orders are the only ones who obey the orders of the whole country.

This is not something that can be done simply by applying favors.

The regent must have used thunderous means to achieve such results.

The year before last, Qian Guogui was one of the three lords, and the chief military officer, the Taiwei, was imprisoned on trumped-up charges for contradicting Fang Xiu in court, and he has not been released until now.

It can be seen from this that the Prince Regent is not afraid of you confronting him.

just
A dry country is a dry country.

The state of Zhou is the state of Zhou.

The regent has a solid foundation in Qian, so he dares to do this.

When you come to the state of Zhou, do you still dare to use the same method?
Isn't he afraid of the accidents caused, and finally make trouble to the point where it can't be ended?

The academicians were thinking this way, when they heard Xie Qian say:
"The old man knows that no matter what the old man says, you will think that the old man is for his position as a political director and the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he dare not argue with the regent.

The old man doesn’t want to argue, so you can think so, but the old man wants to warn you that the matter of dismissal is very important to the Regent. Within a day, the list of dismissed officials must be listed, and no one can be omitted. disposal!

I can't control how they make trouble, but you better keep yourselves safe!
If you want to get involved in this muddy water, then no matter what happens, don't come in front of this old man and ask him to save you!
That's all you said, good luck to you. "

Xie Qian said with a solemn face, and said with sincerity.

After hearing this, several cabinet scholars fell silent.

The stove was still emitting warmth.

There was the sound of cold wind whistling outside the window.

It was quiet inside the hall.

I do not know how long it has been.

Zhang Xinyuan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, said slowly, "Let's draw up the list first."

Several other bachelors responded one after another.

"Just follow what Xie Gelao and Zhang Gelao said."

In an hour's time, a list was sent to Qianqing Palace, Fang Xiu's hands.

After reading it, Fang Xiu picked up a brush, dipped it in vermilion, and drew a hook on it.

soon.

The list was sent back to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Under the leadership of Xie Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the cabinet scholars quickly discussed the plan to dismiss officials.

It was two hours after this plan was delivered to Fang Xiu.

It's getting dark.

Fang Xiu took the candle lamp and looked it over carefully, but he didn't find any messy tricks, so he approved it again.

The plan was sent back to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Xie Qian stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw the red cloth, he raised his eyes to look at several university scholars, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness has approved the red, and then follow the plan."

"Yes, Mr. Xie Ge."

Several bachelors sighed in their hearts and agreed one after another.

into the night.

Snow is still falling.

It's just much smaller than before.

The cold weather has formed a thin layer of ice on the ground.

Step on it, you have to be very careful, if you don't pay attention, you will slip and fall.

The servants of the Ministry of Officials came out of the palace with documents in their hands, and hurried to a certain mansion in the city.

By the time he reached his destination, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

"A letter from the Ministry of Officials to Master Gao!"

The officer from the Ministry of Officials knocked on the door, looked at the concierge and said.

The concierge was originally dissatisfied with being woken up at night, but when he heard the words "Officials", he instantly woke up, and he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly said: "You wait a moment, I will go and report to you."

"It's important, go quickly."

The servants of the official department were trembling, and their voices trembled a little.

"it is good!"

The porter left quickly.

After burning a stick of incense, he returned to the gate, looked at the official officer, and said, "I will take you to see the master."

Followed by.

The two walked through the corridor and the pavilion one after the other, and came to the front of the house.

"Master, here we come."

The porter opened his mouth.

There was a vicissitudes of life in the room.

"Come in."

"Yes."

The porter pushed the door lightly.

The guard stepped in.

There is a fireplace in the house.

The servant who had been shivering from the cold immediately warmed up as soon as he entered the room, and his voice became much calmer. He lowered his voice and said, "Lord Gao, this is a secret letter from Mr. Xie Ge. You must burn it after reading it."

The so-called Gao Daren is none other than Gao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

He is the one with the highest status and the highest rank in this dismissal.

It also has a certain influence in the court.

"Xie Ge Lao's secret letter?"

When Gao Yu heard this, his heart sank, he reached out to take the letter, opened it, and read it from top to bottom.

The more he looked, the tighter his frown became, and the heavier his heart became.

After reading it, it has sunk to the bottom.

The content of the letter shocked him and made him angry.

At his age, he was asked to return to his hometown just because he didn't brave the snow to meet the regent.

Where in the world is there such an absurd thing?
If Her Majesty the Empress and the regent did this, wouldn't they be afraid of leaving a bad name in the history books?
Aren't you afraid of being spurned by scholars?
Aren't you afraid of being called a faint king, a treacherous minister?

Gao Yu was angry for a long time, took a deep breath, and then gradually calmed down.

The purpose of Xie Qian's letter to him is simple.

It is to let him return to his hometown with peace of mind, and don't think about causing trouble, otherwise the lives of the whole family may not be saved.

The words are very sincere.

Already bordering on pleading.

Xie Qian is his classmate and his friend for many years.

The two took the imperial examination together and passed the Jinshi examination together.

After so many years of ups and downs, the friendship far exceeds that of ordinary colleagues.

thus.

Gao Yu knew in his heart that Xie Qian must have made a judgment for sending him this secret letter.

This time the regent is determined to make an example to others!
As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is the one who is most likely to be killed!
He also knew that at this time, it was the best choice to choose to avoid the edge and return to his hometown with peace of mind.

But somehow he couldn't swallow this breath!
A dry man has become the regent of the Great Zhou, and he is so arbitrary!
As the pillar of the Great Zhou, how could he turn a blind eye and just ignore it!
