Chapter 719 Harvest Season ([-])

The booklet is very thick, more than a dozen pages in length, and it contains all the violations and violations of the officials, big and small. It involved so much that nearly half of the officials in the Ministry of Officials were trapped in it. Even with the depth of Zhang Tingyu's city, after reading the excerpts, they were stunned and sweated. Well, if all the records in the book are true, it means that the sky of the official department is about to collapse. As the minister of the official department, how can Zhang Tingyu stay out of the matter? No matter how prosperous Zhang Tingyu's family members are, don't expect to have good fruit to eat, being slapped is considered light in the end, and if there is trouble, he will be sent to the end, how can Zhang Tingyu not be terrified by it.

"My lord, please forgive me for being bold. I don't know if there is any real evidence for these things?"

Zhang Tingyu is worthy of being a tough-minded person. Although he was flustered by such an account compiled by Hong Qing, he did not lose his mind because of it. After reading the account, he did not comment, but asked about the evidence first. Come.

"Master Zhang, don't worry, this king never does things without a target. If you want evidence, this king has some evidence here. Please read it, Lord Zhang."

Hong Qing obviously expected that Zhang Tingyu would ask this question a long time ago. With a shake of her hand, she took out a big bulging envelope from her wide sleeve again, and handed it to Zhang Tingyu with a gloomy expression.

"Wait a moment, my lord, let the officials proofread one or two first."

Seeing that Hongqing was so fully prepared, Zhang Tingyu's pupils shrank involuntarily, but at this point, he couldn't tolerate any ambiguity, so he could only bite the bullet and plead guilty, and stretched out his hand to take it. He opened the big envelope, opened the seal, took out a large stack of confessions from the inside, and looked at it carefully. After looking at it, he really saw something strange. There is nothing else in this envelope. Although there were a lot of confessions, the officials involved were not too many. There were only seven people in total. Le Xiheng was impressively ranked first. There were eight reports on him. As for the rest of the officials, Most of them are Le Xiheng's confidantes, ranging from doctors to writers. They are the people who are the most fierce against Hong Qing. Obviously, it is not random for Hong Qing to come up with these reports. For this, but there are other hints in it.

Sincerity, we have already given it, it depends on how you, Comrade Zhang, choose!
Zhang Tingyu read very slowly, going through them one by one, obviously much more cautious and meticulous than when reading the notebooks before, but Hong Qing didn't care, and sat still, not at all. The meaning of urging, nothing else, Hong Qing is waiting, waiting for Zhang Tingyu to make a decision, if he is willing to follow Hong Qing's way, then everything is easy to say, Hong Qingyuan does not want to really bring down the bureaucracy Go, wait for the result, it is not a good thing for Hong Qing, after all, the old man's mind is on there, so it can be easy, and Hong Qing doesn't want to go to Dali, but if Zhang Tingyu doesn't If she is willing to give in, it will be a big deal. When it's time to make a big fuss, Hong Qing will not be lenient in the slightest. When the left and right have the initiative, Hong Qing naturally doesn't need to be impatient.

"What is the prince planning to do?"

After a full incense stick of time passed, Zhang Tingyu finally finished reading the confessions, looked at Hong Qing solemnly, and asked a question with meaning.

"My lord Zhang clearly learned that Xiao Wang thinks that most of the officials in the bureaucracy are still good. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to overturn a boatload of people with a pole. However, the black sheep must be eliminated. There is no need to be cautious. If not, it may be difficult to deter them. Do you think Mr. Zhang agrees with Xiao Xiao’s generation?”

Zhang Tingyu's question sounded ordinary at first, but Hong Qing's IQ could tell the meaning behind the words as soon as he heard it, even if his slightly tense heartstrings were loosened, Zhang Tingyu didn't think too much. With a calm expression, he vaguely understood what he was planning.

"It's true. From my point of view, it's better to deal with it on a case-by-case basis. If it is necessary to jointly sign the bulletin, the next official will go to the end."

Hearing that Hong Qing seemed to only aim at Le Xiheng, Zhang Tingyu's tense heartstrings should be relaxed a little bit, and he made an unambiguous promise. Of course, there are other hints in the words, so He didn't want Hong Qing to cause trouble in the official department, and he just wanted to go along with Hong Qing's last bullet and settle the matter.

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your love. It's just that Xiao Wang thinks that the bullets alone may not be enough to reverse the corrupt atmosphere in the bureaucracy. In order to cure the disease and save the people, some superficial things should be done, but it must be done once. This one , I am afraid that I will have to work hard to make a fuss."

Zhang Tingyu wanted to minimize the impact of the case of the officials' nest, but Hongqing didn't intend to go along with his wishes, nothing else, although getting rid of Le Xiheng was one of Hongqing's goals, but it wasn't all of them. The most important thing is to establish authority in the Ministry of Officials. Otherwise, why spend so much money to collect evidence from many officials? A few months ago, Hongqing already had the absolute evidence to take down Le Xiheng. The reason why it took so much trouble was that the real person to deal with was Zhang Tingyu, who needed Zhang Tingyu's full cooperation. It was impossible to give Zhang Tingyu a chance to plan calmly, but seeing his serious face, he made the request without hesitation.

"On the surface? I don't know what the prince is referring to..."

Right now the initiative was in Hong Qing's hands, even though Zhang Tingyu didn't want to make a big deal out of it, she couldn't say the words of refusal, but she didn't want to express her position easily, so she could only tentatively ask half a question.

"Your Excellency Zhang laughed, Xiao Wang actually didn't have any particularly good ideas, well, let's put it this way, when the king made the "Regulations on the Daily Management of the Ministry of Officials", he once slapped that brat Neyan's black hat on the spot. I thought it would be able to deter the greedy hearts of a group of young people, but unfortunately the effect is very little. I think it must be that the officials who talk nonsense are too small to attract the attention of all people. Now there are seven people like Le Xiheng. The order of things will improve, maybe, Master Zhang thinks it is feasible?"

Hong Qing didn't leave Zhang Tingyu the slightest room to maneuver, she spoke very politely, and her tone was very calm, but behind this calmness was unquestionable determination and surging murderous intent.

"My lord has learned that Le Xiheng's perverse behavior is an unforgivable crime. No matter how you deal with it, it is not an exaggeration, but the rest of the people are not deeply involved in the case. Allowing them to have a chance to correct their mistakes is also a cure. I don't know my lord. What do you think?"

Zhang Tingyu is a person who cherishes his feathers very much. He is neither greedy nor corrupt, and he does not have any private connections with other brothers. For Le Xiheng, the eighth master's confidant, although he has been with him for many years, he is not very close at all. Of course he would not risk offending Hongqing completely to rescue him, but once the case was discovered, it would deal a huge blow to Zhang Tingyu's prestige. But this was something Zhang Tingyu couldn't bear, but now that Hongqing had a lot of evidence, Zhang Tingyu couldn't stop Hongqing's attack, but wanted to keep the situation low-key, so he murmured and fought with Hongqing Started a discussion.

"Master Zhang's words are quite reasonable. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is not appropriate to go too far. This is fine. Of course Le Xiheng is unforgivable, and Duan Ruiyuan and Zhuo Erluo are also not to be forgiven lightly." Go, this court trial will be limited to these three people, as for the rest of the people, let’s let it go for the time being and see the effect later, if there is another crime in the future, then don’t blame the king for being ruthless!"

What Hong Qing wanted was to stand up, and she didn't intend to embarrass Zhang Tingyu too much. The reason why she came up with a list of so many people was to force Zhang Tingyu to cooperate in a show of standing up. As for how many people should win? Hong Qing didn't care much about the officials, of course, if too few officials were taken down, Li Wei would not be able to build up his prestige. Therefore, although Zhang Tingyu had to give face, Hong Qing didn't plan to do it again this time. After discussing with Zhang Tingyu, I stopped asking for instructions, and came to a conclusion straightforwardly.

"Forget it, then it's fine to settle."

Hearing that Hong Qing had already spoken to such an extent, Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to agree with Hong Qing's proposal after a little hesitation. In line with Zhang Tingyu's wishes, it is a barely acceptable result compared to Hongqing's rioting in the bureaucracy and taking down nearly half of the officials in the bureaucracy. Without the initiative in hand, Zhang Tingyu can only be Let Hong Qing toss about.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your help. It's not too late. Please, Mr. Zhang, please order all the people to come to the lobby to discuss matters together?"

Hongqing has always been the best at striking while the iron is hot. Now that Zhang Tingyu has made a decision, Hongqing will not leave him any room for repentance, so he bowed his hand to one of them and urged him politely: .

"Well, come here!"

Hong Qing's request for instructions seems to be polite, but inside it is full of persecution. There is nothing else, who gives the order to convene all the people to discuss matters is very particular. He also has the right to issue summoning orders, but in this way, if something happens, Hong Qing alone will bear the main responsibility, but if Zhang Tingyu orders, and Hong Qing performs the big show, it will be Hong Qing and Zhang Tingyu. There is no doubt that Hongqing's move is to put Zhang Tingyu on the carriage. Although Zhang Tingyu is well aware of this, but under the eaves, how can Zhang Tingyu not bow his head? No matter how much dissatisfaction there was, Zhang Tingyu could only follow Hong Qing's wishes.

"Subordinates are here!"

Hearing Zhang Tingyu's call, Geshha, who had been waiting outside the office for a long time, didn't dare to be negligent, and walked into the room in a hurry, and answered the promise loudly.

"Go, order all divisions and divisions, and all officials above the principal should come to the lobby to discuss matters!"

After Zhang Tingyu obviously hesitated for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and issued the summoning order. With the hurried departure of that Geshha, the entire bureaucracy was in chaos...
