Chapter 242
Cheng Yunxiang hurried in from the palace gate, just in time to hear the end of Hou Wenwu's departure from the world, but he just frowned, and then smelled it with his nose.

Officials in the feudal era had a strong tolerance for cruel events.Just like the civil servants of their descendants, in most cases, the tragedies were actually created by themselves.For him, watching a murderer bleed and his skin bruised is like watching his own vomited lunch, or his own defecation.

The eunuchs in the palace saw Cheng Yunxiang outside the door without any need to search, and quickly brought him in.

Speaking of which, Cheng Jinzhou's second uncle is a pure official with weak family ties but political acumen.When he saw the scuffle in the sky, he immediately thought of Xiao Cheng's purpose, and with the spirit of not letting go, he came to Miyagi with the compiled files.

Unlike those twitchy aristocratic relatives, Cheng Yunxiang placed himself in a very upright position from the very beginning.His surname is Cheng, and he belongs to the Cheng family. Whether he likes it or not, he must be labeled as the Cheng family.There has always been a lot of attention to Cheng Jinzhou's affairs.Although he didn't necessarily agree with Cheng Jinzhou's actions, but when his nephew's power was at its peak, he had to follow closely if he wanted to participate.

On the other hand, Cheng Yunxiang was born as an official Jinshi. Even if His Majesty the Emperor didn't like it, the appointment and dismissal of ordinary civil officials still belonged to the civil official group's right, so he was not afraid at all.It can be said that it can advance and retreat, extremely freely.

Of course, seeing Cheng Yunxiang coming so quickly, His Majesty the Emperor didn't even give himself a little time to turn around, so one can imagine the unhappiness in his heart.It's a pity that now, what he thinks is not the focus of everyone's attention.

Cheng Yunxiang brought a total of 620 counties' materials, holding them in his hands like examination papers, and the content was more detailed than those found by the old officials of the Ministry of Officials, which shows that he was fully prepared.

After paying respects to His Majesty the Emperor as usual, he smiled lightly at Cheng Jinzhou. Cheng Yunxiang pointed to a few names and said, "Changfeng County and Lingshi County are both lower counties, and there just happen to be vacancies..."

He didn't know much about the situation, so he naturally followed the rules first.

Cheng Jinzhou coughed, patted Lu Xu on the shoulder and said, "Master Cheng, take a step to speak."

Although the battle was over, it didn't mean there was no danger, so he didn't think about getting off Lu Xu at all.

Cheng Yunxiang was taken aback, and walked down the steps with him.

The location where His Majesty the Emperor and others are standing is not the palace hall in the traditional sense, but the viewing platform outside the hall. It is usually used for the imperial army to do exercises and line up. As long as you walk down the steps, the place is very big.

Cheng Jinzhou's voice was low, and he said domineeringly: "Is there a county? Where is it good? Don't care if there is a shortage or not."

His idea was to make a quick decision, to settle the matter before any fourth-level star warlock arrived.

Cheng Yunxiang had no choice but to ask: "Are you really not staying in the capital?"

Cheng Jinzhou nodded affirmatively, and said in a more emphatic tone: "The warehouses in the capital are almost emptied by me. When the time comes, the imperial court will have no food for itself. Maybe they will have to look for it from me again. If I can take advantage of it, I will prepare for it myself." Go home and farm."

Looking at the officials of later generations, Cheng Jinzhou can also guess the various malpractices that officials have used or may have invented.Instead of earning some small money by wrangling, Cheng Jinzhou might as well jump out of the capital and plant his fields with peace of mind.

Cheng Yunxiang saw that his attitude was clear, so he said with peace of mind: "You just need to make up your mind. Personnel affairs in the capital are complicated. If you win today, tomorrow...it's hard to say."

Feeling that he said something unlucky, Cheng Yunxiang coughed and said: "Since there is no vacancy, what about De'an County?"

De'an is not far from Shaonan and also belongs to Jinchuan Prefecture.It's just that it is far away from Nanling and has a difficult relationship with the governor's yamen. It is said that it is full of evil and attached to the provincial capital of Guo. This is what it means.But with Cheng Jinzhou's status, I am afraid that the governor will be full of evil.

Cheng Jinzhou looked through the documents, saw that it was a plain landform, not far from Shaonan, and had a small amount of coal reserves, so he immediately nodded in agreement.Even if only because of the fertile land there, he would agree.

Cheng Yunxiang then introduced a few words, and then said with a smile: "As long as you go back to the southwest, you will be a real Marquis of Baili. The lifespan of a star warlock is indeed a good idea."

Star warlocks who are not three-stars often have a longevity of 150 years. If they are lucky and get help from Xingzhou's special star array, they can live another 100 years.Cheng Jinzhou was in his youth, and with his qualifications, he would almost certainly live to be 250 years old, which meant that he could operate in the county for 200 years if he wanted to.Such a long period of time is almost the same as the dynasties in ancient Chinese history. It is not an exaggeration to say that the earth was broken and the king was crowned.

What Cheng Jinzhou can think of, the gentlemen who spend all day in the political whirlpool can naturally also think about it.Therefore, when he returned to the emperor and took out De'an County, His Majesty the Emperor was as painful as if he wanted to be crowned king.

Finally, it was Sun Jifeng who said: "De'an is a county, that, there is no precedent for a person to be an official, it is inconsistent with reason, Mr. Cheng..."

"I'm Xie Yuan." Cheng Jinzhou blocked it back with one sentence.

When Jieyuan is appointed as an official, it is said that he can indeed be promoted to a higher level.Of course, in the understanding of the court officials, there should be steps to assist the second official from the lower county to the upper county.But from a system perspective, it is unnecessary.

After eliminating the last legal obstacle, Cheng Jinzhou said with a smile: "It happens that the officials of the province are also here, please use the seal of His Majesty the Emperor."

In the political tradition of the Great Xia, the government affairs hall puts up the documents, the emperor uses the seal to approve the red, and the subordinate provinces issue draft edicts in the matter. The three are indispensable.Generally speaking, when the imperial power is strong, the power of the political affairs hall will be weakened, but when the power of the civil official group is strong, the power of the emperor will be weakened. The latter is often held by young low-level officials, which is a typical example of a humble position and the fastest way for low-level officials to advance.

Sun Jifeng was a member of the Zhengshitang, so he had no choice but to sign the appointment letter prepared by Cheng Yunxiang, followed by His Majesty the Emperor, and the paperwork went around in a circle, and then it was in the hands of Liu Yuezhou, who was under the door.

Among the people present, Liu Yuezhou was the youngest only after Cheng Jinzhou, and his official rank was also the lowest among them.But facing the letter of appointment sent by Sun Jifeng, he didn't even roll his eyes.

Sun Jifeng was overjoyed upon seeing this.He was still regretting why the officials from the Zhengshitang and Menxia Province were all blocked together, and it was the Ministry of Officials who were blocked, but judging by Liu Yuezhou's current state, it is very likely that he will do something that is the worst thing a scholar can do. Something that I like to talk about - the seal and refutation memorial.

As the name suggests, in the political structure of Great Xia, the greatest right in theory is to be able to refute memorials, not only those from the Political Affairs Hall, but also memorials that the emperor has approved—it sounds a little disturbing. It's hard to believe, but in fact, young people who have received more than ten years of education in Confucianism are indeed more bloody than gentlemen in high positions. The right to refute is often used in the history of Daxia.

When a Qipin refutes the edict of a senior official or even His Majesty the Emperor, the latter will often invite Shizhong, explain the reason to him, and thus gain support from Shizhong, and then the second time issued an imperial edict.And if he persisted in the matter, there would be no second imperial edict, so as not to lose face again.

Of course, under conceivable circumstances, when exercising the right to refute the matter, it must take great political risks.It is as if a small department-level official of the central government openly published articles in major newspapers and periodicals, opposing a certain order and policy of the State Council.

Regardless of whether they are successful or not, they have to risk being dismissed from office and lose their hat. Even so, wave after wave of things are still like moths to a flame...

Now Liu Yuezhou is obviously ready to become a moth.

He looked at Cheng Jinzhou with contemptuous eyes, with an awe-inspiring look.

Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and Cheng Yunxiang immediately came to his senses.He is an official of the Ministry of Officials himself, and he is very familiar with the affairs of the three officials of the Ministry of Officials. Knowing Liu Yuezhou's strong temper, he couldn't help but said: "Why don't I send you to the provincial government to formally draft an edict."

The implication is to find someone who can pass the matter.

Liu Yuezhou snorted coldly and said, "I want to seal and refute this edict."

If he said it was rejected, then naturally the other matters would not be approved.

Cheng Jinzhou had never encountered such a situation before, so he couldn't help but look at Sun Jifeng and said, "Master Sun, what does this mean?"

Sun Jifeng was happy in his heart, but on the surface he said calmly: "I'll do things alone..."

"Don't play tricks on me. If you don't pass today, I'm going to have sex." Cheng Jinzhou forced the palace to come before the emperor, so he couldn't be stopped by someone else.

Liu Yuezhou twisted his neck, and said: "The head of the humble class, the astromancer can take it, but it will leave a mark in the history."

What a nonsense thing.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at Liu Yuezhou, his face stiffened.To put it bluntly, what he is doing now is not much better than a palace coup d'état, if it is going to rain, and Yu Niang is going to get married, if a literati can stop it with a stiff neck, what is the point of asking the Imperial Forest Army.

Having said that, when you really meet a straightforward literati, troubles are inevitable.Not only are they not afraid of death, but they are also not afraid of extermination.In history, Fang Xiaoru was wiped out by Zhu Di. Not only his father, son and brother were killed, but his wife and children were sold as prostitutes. Sign the manual.

It can be seen that some people are not only the mainstay of integrity, but also acquired cold-blooded animals.They love fame and fortune but are not greedy for life or fear of death. They are the protective clothing of the civil official group.

Moreover, for the current Cheng Jinzhou, he neither wants to bear the burden of infamy, but also is afraid of delaying time, so the standard memorial archway is scattered with soybeans.

Seeing that some officials were about to smile, Cheng Jinzhou broke his heart and said angrily: "Little official, I will count to three. If you don't sign, Daxia will open the country again tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, his hand pointed to Emperor Lizong!

His Majesty the Emperor was shocked.

Sun Jifeng and the others were so frightened that they rolled and crawled, blocked in front of the emperor, and shouted: "Cheng Jinzhou, your family is still in Daxia."

"Fuck you." Cheng Jinzhou killed several times in a row, and when his blood boiled, he said dryly: "I want to see how far you can make your name."

No matter what the reason is, if His Majesty the Emperor is killed in the incident, what will be left behind will definitely be infamy.Liu Yuezhou is not sure what the lower limit of Cheng Jinzhou's intelligence is, and what is the upper limit of madness. He actually has no right or opportunity to try.

Cheng Jinzhou spit out the word "one" lightly, and Liu Yuezhou said dejectedly: "Come on, let's sign it."

The little eunuch next to him knelt on the ground in amazement, holding up the pen and ink, and let Liu Yuezhou use it.

Two strokes across.Cheng Jinzhou put away the edict in satisfaction, sat on Lu Xu's neck just now, bowed with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, I will definitely manage De'an well."

At this moment, there was another crackling sound in the sky.

It was Warlock Liu Kuangxing and Warlock Jiang Huangxing who came together.

It's a pity that everything has been decided, and it is only a step late.
