Is Your Majesty jealous today?

King Rui and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Jian Qingshuang received the news that the emperor had summoned them late at night.

Jian Qingshuang was already getting old, his temples were gray and his eyes were dim, and he walked over trembling for a while. As the elder of the three dynasties, he should be used to such things as face-to-face saints.

But Zhong Ye is different from the previous two emperors.Zhong Ye's intelligence and ruthlessness had already been revealed when he was a teenager. He had been intriguing with the Queen Mother's clan for several years, Zhong Ye was very young on the surface, but the city government was no less than their veteran officials.

King Rui and Jian Qingshuang looked at each other in blank dismay, neither knowing why the emperor summoned them temporarily.

However, King Rui received a secret letter from a subordinate official. Some officials said that Yao Xi is in Qing County these days. Yao Xi is an amazing scholar. The students of Crane Yi Academy are almost headed by him. I heard that he and Sheng Yue even have disagreements. Qingdao unknown relationship.

King Rui tried every means to please the emperor, and also wanted his subordinates to capture Yao Xi and present it to the emperor.

In addition to this matter, King Rui has another matter.

He heard that King Cheng had made some moves recently, he was inquiring about the lady from Ge's hometown and the princess in the palace, most likely he was marrying his son Xi Xiuyuan.

King Cheng is one of the emperor's confidantes, and he is also the object that King Rui tries to win over.Because King Cheng has made many achievements, a clan like King Rui has to be polite when they see him.

It's a pity that there is no princess of the right age in Prince Rui's mansion. When he went in with Jian Qingshuang, he couldn't help asking Jian Qingshuang: "Are Prime Minister Jian's granddaughters and granddaughters married?"

Jian Qingshuang's old eyes were cloudy, and he was well informed, so King Rui knew what it meant when he asked him this way.

It's nothing more than forming a clique and wanting to draw King Cheng into his side. It's more reliable to consolidate the relationship through marriage.

Jian Qingshuang said: "The older ones are all married, and two of them are only seven or eight years old. They are too young. People like Xi Yong may not like them."

Zheng Ru, the eunuch next to the emperor, had already seen the two of them, he said: "The emperor is reviewing the memorials inside, His Highness King Rui and Prime Minister Jian should go in."

King Rui secretly stuffed 5000 taels of silver notes into Zheng Ru's sleeve: "Eunuch Zheng knows what's going on with the emperor? Tell me a thing or two so that I can make preparations."

Zheng Ru pushed out the bank note calmly: "His Royal Highness King Rui will know when he goes in and meets the emperor."

Rui Wang went in together with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials anxiously.

A handsome man in a black dragon robe was processing the memorial before the case. The lights were on all around. The man's black hair was not tied up, and he was idling behind him.

King Rui and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Jian Qingshuang, hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I wait to pay my respects to the emperor, long live the emperor."

Zhong Ye sneered and threw down a booklet, and said sarcastically, "With so many bad things going on, I'm afraid I won't be able to live forever."

Jian Qingshuang was smashed by the fold, and he quickly picked it up: "I am terrified."

Zhong Ye's phoenix eyes swept across the kneeling two people: "Who appointed the magistrate of Chun'an Prefecture? He has been promoted to the magistrate of the fourth rank in just two years. He is very capable."

Jian Qingshuang was in a cold sweat: "Wu Ren has been excellent in the examinations over the years, so he was promoted faster. During his tenure, he was very popular among the people."

Zhong Ye said coldly: "I went to Weili Province on a private tour in Weifu, and met Gu Liang who was demoted to Qing County by the way."

Due to the large number of officials in the Xuan Dynasty, King Rui didn't know who Gu Liang was. What position was it then, and what position is it now.

Jian Qingshuang said to King Rui: "Gu Liang was demoted to the second place because of Yin Siqi..."

Only then did King Rui remember.

"This memorial was written by Gu Liang." Zhong Ye said, "Uncle Emperor, Prime Minister Jian, you two should read it carefully."

Rui Wang and Jian Qingshuang hurriedly read the brochure.

The memorial was for the impeachment of Wu Ren, which listed all the crimes Wu Ren committed in Chun'an Mansion, deceived and flattered the common people, and demanded 5 taels of silver from Gu Liang...

King Rui's right eyelid twitched violently.

Just now he didn't understand what Zhong Ye meant, but now he has understood.

Wei Li Province is a crucial place in this dynasty, and the condition of the people here is related to the stability of the entire Xuan Dynasty.The errand in Wei Li Province is also a lucrative job, and the current governor is pulled by Rui Wang.

This area was controlled by King Rui, and now Zhong Ye wanted to take it back.

King Rui absolutely did not allow a small county magistrate to pry the governor, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Gu Liang's words are not to be believed, I think that imperial envoys should be sent to Chun'an Mansion to investigate..."

"Imperial envoy?" Zhong Ye knew what was going on inside, and he was afraid that the imperial envoy would be blinded by all kinds of tricks when he arrived in the provincial capital of Weili, "I just came back from Qing County, and Gu Liang handed over this impeachment note to me, which imperial envoy Stronger than my eyes?"

King Rui was speechless.

Zhong Ye's phoenix eyes swept over King Rui and Jian Qingshuang: "This kind of incident in Chun'an Mansion has nothing to do with Prime Minister Jian and the governor of Weili Province. Prime Minister Jian fined his salary for three months, as for the governor of Weili Province - it seems that he is For the sake of the emperor's uncle's former disciple's face, I will punish him with a salary of one year and temporarily not remove him from his post."

King Rui knew that Zhong Ye was giving him face, but this face was not so easy to get.

Zhong Ye is not a kind person either.

He hurriedly said: "Since Zhang Xiu, the governor of Weili Province, has neglected his duty, I hope His Majesty will punish him severely. Even if he is a former student of the minister, when he does something that is detrimental to the court, the minister will not show any favor."

Zhong Ye sneered coldly: "Next, I will give him a new errand to see if he can handle it well. Wu Ren was dismissed to confiscate his house, and Gu Liang did a good job in Qing County. It can be seen that he is a talent. Let him take over Wu Ren for the time being. If Gu Liang does well, he will continue to work in the position of prefect of Chun'an Prefecture."

King Rui's heart trembled: "Yes."

Zhong Ye waved his hands: "You all step back."

The cool autumn night wind permeated people, and the python robe on Rui Wang and the purple robe on Jian Qingshuang were blown up by the wind.

King Rui closed his eyes: "A seventh-rank magistrate actually brought the matter to the emperor, he really—"

Tired of life.

Even if he was promoted to the magistrate of the fourth rank, if King Rui wanted to kill him, it would still be as easy as killing a chicken.

Jian Qingshuang shook his head, his voice was hoarse: "My lord, don't act rashly, Wei Li Province has already been torn apart, and His Majesty's intention to rectify the administration of officials is clearly revealed. If you go against him, I'm afraid—"

King Rui understands this truth, but he still feels uncomfortable.

In the dead of night, Zheng Ru waited for Zhong Ye to rest, and Zhong Ye was changed by the palace servants, and some guards in dark robes were kneeling outside the screen.

He asked casually: "What happened in Beijing recently?"

The guard said: "Prince Cheng moves frequently, I heard that it has something to do with Xi Xiuyuan's marriage."

Zhong Ye hadn't seen Xi Xiuyuan for a long time, he remembered this young man.This is Tanhua hand-picked by Zhong Ye, the diction is exquisite and the person is exquisite, completely different from Cheng Wang, a big bastard, he thinks that Xi Xiuyuan will be reused in the cabinet in the future.

Marriage between the major families - Zhong Ye will also intervene to avoid collusion: "Oh? Do you have someone you like?"

"At first it was the daughter of Liu Ge's hometown, but it didn't work out, so I guess I didn't like it." The guard said, "Now I might want to know about the princess in the palace."

Zhong Ye was indifferent to the few princesses in the palace. He had always been fickle, and they were not born to the same mother. The palace was so big, and they hadn't seen much since they were young.

The princess is going to get married when she grows up, so she can marry to Xi's family.

After Zhong Ye changed his clothes, Zheng Ru told everyone outside the screen to back out.

Benzoin was lit in the incense burner, and the fragrance was lingering. At this time, the earth dragon had not been burned yet. It was cold in the resplendent bedroom, and there was a cold breath everywhere. Zhong Ye's hands exposed outside the brocade quilt were cold and slender, light blue The blue veins are very obvious.

He was extremely cold in the heights, and at this time he missed Xichi especially.

Longta is too lenient, and Xichi has never slept here.

In the face of real power, Wu Ren is also a small fish and shrimp, and the speed of the emperor's actions is far faster than King Rui imagined.King Rui didn't even have time to say hello to Wu Ren and asked Wu Ren to destroy the letters between some officials.

He saw a group of tall and burly guards wearing armor suddenly rushed into the mansion, the leader held a golden order, all the officials in the mansion were pushed to the ground, and then the leader of the guards made Wuren kneel Next, read the holy decree of the Holy Majesty.

Wu Ren was in a daze, only to hear the guards reprimanding him for being "greedy by nature", "being unkind as an official", and "fishing for the common people". Then his official position was lost, and his home was even ransacked.

All this happened too fast, because the emperor did it on his side, he was not given a chance to protect him from officials, no governor, no king Rui, it was too late to save him, the things he usually did, the sacrifices he gave were all in vain Silver taels are of no use.

One word from the emperor, thousands of words from King Darui and Governor Wei Li.

Wu's house was ransacked, and the prefect of Wuren amassed several 10 taels of silver in a warehouse, and there were more than a dozen concubines in the family, all of whom wore gold and silver.But the point is not these, the point is the letters in the study.

Officials who have ties to Wu Ren are basically unclean. Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Anyway, they are a nest of snakes and mice.

The letters were sent to the capital overnight, and the emperor's desk was full of evidence of the collusion of these officials.One of them plotted to pull Zhongliang off his horse, another plotted to embezzle the money for disaster relief, and another plotted to flatter and curry favor and give away beauties.

Zhong Ye calmly read all the letters, finally selected two, and asked his subordinates to send them to Weili Province, and then to the governor Zhang Xiu.

These are all related to Zhang Xiu.

If Zhang Xiu hadn't been scared to death, he should have understood in his heart who would be his master in the future and whom he should do things for.

Zhong Ye didn't hear what Xi Chi said to admonish Wu Ren at that time, if he had heard it, he must have regarded Xi Chi as his confidant again.

The whole country belongs to Zhong Ye, and Zhong Ye is an ambitious person who wants to gain power. He is so young and works hard to govern. No matter which party he is loyal to, these people below will be killed by Zhong Ye in the end.

Unless he is only loyal to Zhong Ye.
