Devil’s Advent

The tormenting winter is finally coming to an end.

For the elderly, winter is a hurdle;

If you step over, you can experience spring, summer and autumn again, and enjoy the scenery of the four seasons again; if you can't, you can only stay in this winter forever.

For the people in the Sanjin area, this winter is particularly difficult. Not only the elderly, men, women and children have all experienced the plowing of war. The dry bones on the roadside are the most common scenery at present.

For the people of Yanjing, this winter was also a torment, but in the end, it was over.

Yan Jun's victory after defeat made everyone focus on their own lives.

For them, life is nothing more than daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and if you add some flavor, just add a tea.

Therefore, the wind in the hall will not really affect them. After all, the higher the place, the stronger the wind.

It is true that the court of Yan State was windy, but the wind was not strong, but it also knocked down a minister.

First, there was a censor who heard the wind and reported that Shangshu impeached Xu Guanghuai, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, saying that his family had a bad reputation in his hometown.

In the face of impeachment, Xu Guanghuai didn't take it seriously at first, but submitted a self-defense paper to Yanhuang.

In fact, according to past habits, when a censor impeaches you, the standard procedure you should do is to report illness and return to the government, and wait for His Majesty to issue an order to inquire about you, and then submit a self-defense paper.

This is the rule, a tacit understanding agreed by everyone.

In fact, it is a process.

But right now, because the covenant with Chu has been finalized to the last stage, Xu Guanghuai doesn't want to make any mistakes, so he wants to continue to check;

The second is that compared with the censors of the Yan Kingdom, the combat power of the Qian Kingdom is obviously much worse, and it is not an order of magnitude at all.

After all, rules are dead, but people are alive, right?

However, Xu Guanghuai still took the time to send someone to send a letter to the family members in Sanshixu County, reminding them to pay attention to their conduct and maintain the reputation of the neighborhood.

This incident should have passed like this, like being bitten by a mosquito.

But then,

The county magistrate of Xu County, Sanshi County, Zhao Chengming, who was released from the new department last year, went up to impeach Xu Guanghuai's family in Xu County and merged Liangtian Yurou Township. There is a saying among the common people: only Xu County should be regarded as Xu County!

This is the impeachment of the local parental officer, and the nature changes immediately, and it is still the local parental officer in your hometown.

Especially the sentence in the excerpt: Only treat Xu County as Xu County! It has extremely terrifying lethality.

Xu Guanghuai couldn't calm down anymore, he immediately reported his illness and returned home, and no longer participated in the morning court, but took the initiative to submit a pleading sheet, waiting for Yanhuang to send someone to defend himself.

But it's not over yet,

In a few days,

The Secret Service Department of Sanshi County has captured a group of remnants of powerful families. After interrogation, it was learned that some time ago, these remnants were taken in and sheltered in Xu County. .

Xu Guanghuai was an official in Yanjing, and his second and third sons were with him, while the eldest son stayed in his hometown to handle the family's clan and property matters.

From the Secret Service Division, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied.

Horse stepping on the door, this is Yanhuang's handwriting, it can be said to be a national policy.

This matter has nothing to do with right or wrong, because even if the family members are guilty, it is impossible for every family member to bully the village or have evil intentions, but in political matters, there is always very little distinction between right and wrong.

The remnants of the powerful family were either exiled into the army or taken as official slaves.

Maybe, it is possible to pardon some family remnants after the crown prince succeeds to the throne or even after the grandson succeeds to the throne, but at this time, it is absolutely politically incorrect to say a few good words for the family remnants!

Your Xu family dares to take in and protect the remnants of the clan, what is your intention?

After hearing this news, Xu Guanghuai was stunned.

At this time, if he still doesn't know that he is being targeted, he will really be living his life like a dog, and his career will be wasted.

But what he really couldn't figure out was who was attacking him at this point in time, and once the attack was made, the series of attacks, from letting go to laying the groundwork, and then to this knife, made it impossible for people to parry.

He knows the character of his eldest son, he is good at everything, but he just likes to be arty and elegant, and he likes literary affairs. In the early years, he liked to have fun and hold poetry meetings with the disciples of those powerful and powerful families.

Xu Guanghuai didn't simply think that this was framed by the Secret Service, because his eldest son really couldn't bear the begging of his old friends and took them in.

It's just that this rebellious son really cheated his own father this time!

However, within a few days, Wailang, one of the seven Qing officials under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, presented a brochure, which recorded the catalog of the Ministry of Finance's payment of money and food when the Great Prince's Eastern Expedition Army was formed. The military leaders in other places only paid half of the salary, but Sanshi Deng's family was allocated 80% of the salary.

This Yuanwailang was originally not qualified to hand in the papers, but after the imperial examinations were held last year, Emperor Yan decreed that all Jinshi who were born as officials, whether they were in Beijing or abroad, could submit imperial cases.

But this member of the household department, Wailang, was born as a Jinshi last year.

It can be said that this was the last straw that broke Xu Guanghuai.

In fact, according to Dayan's common sense, it is generally difficult to pay the full salary for dispatching soldiers and horses at once. First, the local military leaders need to raise some by themselves. to supply.

Therefore, this is the scene where the left army commander of the Eastern Expedition Army will reach out to Zheng Fan, the then General Sheng Le, to ask for money and food.

This is the unspoken rule,

Everyone knows it.

Dayan has been fighting non-stop for the past few years, how can the treasury have so much wealth to fully support it?

But the problem is that when your household department provides money and food, other people get 50% of it, while the Sanshi Deng family's branch is 80% of it?

This can be explained, but this explanation cannot be expressed.

Because Sanshi Deng's family is the mother family of the fourth prince, and at the same time, Sanshi Deng's family has a very high influence among the local military leaders. The face of the old patriarch, General Deng, is still valuable. It is normal to give more batches.

But because of this, this explanation cannot be used as a real explanation. How do you open your mouth? Do you want to bite the prince?

Moreover, in Wangjiang's defeat in the first battle, the one with the heaviest loss was the left army led by the Patriarch of the Deng family.

Even if Wang Jiang died in battle, it is impossible to let go of the guilt of the defeated general.

So, at this moment, the old account was turned up. As the secretary of the household department, you actually secretly communicated with the leader of the largest army in the area to withdraw money.

What on earth are you trying to do!

one pile,

one piece,

Step by step,

Xu Guanghuai, it's over.

Because he has been unable to turn around, unless Emperor Yan is willing to forcibly correct it for him.

Emperor Yan has this ability. For a hundred years, His Majesty's authority today is undoubtedly the number one.

But if Xu Guanghuai, the defendant, is forcibly corrected, the officials who impeached him will have to be falsely accused.

the fact is,

It is impossible for Emperor Yan to make such a choice,

Because it is a person who can see clearly,

One here, one there, one here, one there, one after another, these people who jumped out one after another to overthrow Xu Guanghuai were basically officials from the Xinke Jinshi last year.

How could Emperor Yan, who had just set foot in the door for a few years, be involved in implicating things at this time?

The imperial examination must be carried out and persisted. This is Emperor Yan's general plan, otherwise, what he did by stepping on the door will be reduced to useless work.

therefore,

Emperor Yan issued an edict,

The dismissal of Xu Guanghuai was investigated and dealt with, and he was convicted by the Secretary.

This has already set the tone. The result of the interrogation is how much Xu Guanghuai is guilty, not whether Xu Guanghuai is guilty.

The people in Yanjing City may not feel that there is anything,

But the officials in the court were stunned for a moment,

The wind seemed weak at first, as if it was scratching an itch, but suddenly a violent storm came and directly blew the Hubu Shangshu down, no, it broke it!

...

It's not that I'm impatient, but if I'm not impatient, even the cold tofu will be gone.

Ji Chengjue personally poured a glass of wine for Wen Yin who was sitting opposite her, and Wen Yin immediately got up respectfully and waited while touching the side of the glass with both hands.

These officials who were born as Jinshi, although they are all specially selected part of the good character in the past few years, but the officialdom is a big dyeing vat. Once they are completely dyed, my benefactor will want to call them up again. It will be difficult.

Wen Yin immediately nodded and said:

The master is clever, and he can just take this opportunity to completely tie them to the master's boat.

What's the matter, is my boat very broken, and I still have to tie it up?

Hehe. Wen Yin smiled, This subordinate made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue.

Ji Chengjue took a sip of his wine.

Wen Yin hurriedly took a sip, drank it all in one gulp, then got up immediately, poured wine for the sixth prince, and said at the same time:

Xu Guanghuai fell, and the prince's arm was broken.

I dealt with Xu Guanghuai not because he flirted with the crown prince, but because my father asked me to observe the household affairs and raise money and food for Dayan, so it's not suitable for me to have an old guy sitting on top of me pointing fingers, it's really annoying.

It's just that the subordinates are worried, this time, whether they will...

Don't worry about anything, there is no way out, ever since I entered Beijing in my uncle's carriage that day, I have no intention of leaving in despair.

By the way, I specially called you back today to tell you one thing face to face. Over the years, some of them were hinted at by me, and some were made by you without authorization. You buried a lot of nails beside my second brother;

For a while, let's withdraw them all, try to clean up your ties, and you can also retire to take care of yourself.

Master, this subordinate wants to continue to be master...

This is to tell you to avoid the limelight. When you want to use you again in the future, you, an old bastard, still have breath and can use it with strength.

Wen Yin was shocked immediately, and immediately said:

Master, is something going to happen?

Ji Chengjue looked at Wen Yin,

Wen Yin was waiting for the answer,

But Ji Chengjue didn't speak,

Wen Yin was so frightened that he left his seat and knelt down;

Subordinates should die.

Ji Chengjue yawned,

road:

Lonely.

The subordinate will leave.

After Wen Yin left, Ji Chengjue was not in a hurry to leave the wine table to go to bed, but stretched out his hand to grab a handful of peanuts, and began to throw them into his mouth one by one.

His eyes were deep in thought, and a little sad, and then became numb, and in the end, turned into indifference:

Heh, it's going to rain, mother wants to get married, let him go.

immediately,

Ji Chengjue pinched his throat,

Learning the tone of the song and humming;

March 3rd, the girl is getting married in the sedan chair, the fiery red hijab is so red...

That's all for today, and I'll be back tomorrow.
