Lin Jian waited for Jia Lian to finish speaking, and sneered.

"I just said, why do you want to target North Korean and Chinese officials like this? The thugs taught in this way don't attack military officials, but they pursue civilian officials so hard, resulting in nearly twice as many civilian positions as there are military officials in the court."

Isn't it their plan to kill people and fill the vacancies with people from their own lineage?

Da Zhou has always valued martial arts over culture, but when he came to Emperor Chengsheng, because of Lin Hong's support and Emperor Chengsheng's intention to change this situation, the situation in the court was much better.

People with four princes and eight princes have always only rolled around among the generals. They are noble families who have accumulated military merits. There are also children of the family who have taken the imperial examination, but there are still few people. But now they have seen Emperor Chengsheng's determination and know. Their way of going will definitely not be as smooth as before, so they thought of Congwen Yitu.

It’s not a bad idea for them to want to learn literature, but they don’t follow the right path. They have to study hard to take the imperial examination. It will take more than ten years at most, and three to five years at least. They are unwilling to wait. , refused to spend this time, so he thought of such a crooked way, trying to forcibly occupy half of the civil servants.

Jia Lian knew from Jia Zheng that the Zheng family had selected an official for Jia Baoyu, and Lin Jian also had some news about the by-selected official for Jia Baoyu.

This matter is not in his control, but he has also heard that some of the alternate officials selected by the Ministry of Officials are indeed from the family of four princes and eight princes.

Looking at these various things alone, I don't think it's a big deal, but when I think about it in conjunction with each other, this problem becomes more prominent.

Jia Lian felt cold when he heard this, but he also felt that things might not be as dire as Lin Jian said.

"The true identities of these Rushijiao thugs have not yet been ascertained, and they may not necessarily be people of all kinds. Perhaps it is possible that others did these things, but let those people take advantage of this loophole."

Lin Jian lowered his eyes and smiled faintly: "No matter how much you guess whether it's from them or not, you can't guess the result. Just wait a little longer. After a while, there must be a result."

Lin Jian only said one sentence to Jia Lian, and he didn't explain why he only needed to wait a little longer to know the result.Seeing that Lin Jian didn't say anything, Jia Lian also knew his temper when he came, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Jia Lian told Lin Jian that Jia Zheng had secretly entrusted the Zheng family to seek an official for Jia Baoyu and that the Zheng family had assassinated Lin Daiyu. He didn't mean to do anything at all, so he asked a few more words.

Jia Lian thought that Lin Jian's temperament would not answer him, but he didn't expect that Lin Jian not only answered, but also answered very carefully.

"You tell me about this, and I already know it. If you want to talk about what to do with the Zheng family, I really don't have time now. The Zheng family wants to find an errand for Jia Baoyu, just let them go." Although I am a bit uninhibited, I have no control over the selection and appointment of officials by the Ministry of Officials. There are certain rules for the selection of officials by the Ministry of Officials. Send it to the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty will make the final decision. If this Jia Baoyu is a real official, and if the Holy Majesty likes it, I can't hinder his career because of personal grudges, can I?"

"Your Majesty has the most discerning eyes. Even if the Zheng family has all eyes and hands, they can't deceive you. Your Majesty will not be manipulated by others. Rest assured. Someone will watch over this matter."

Jia Lian really didn't believe that Lin Jian could let go of the Zheng family.Although he didn't say anything, the eyes that looked at Lin Jian clearly expressed such meaning.

Lin Jian glanced at Jia Lian, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "I've already said, the Holy One has a clear eye and a clear heart to make his own decision. Now that they're making a move, can't we just wait to be beaten passively? Boss I have to think of some way. There is one thing that is not finished right now. If the Zheng family can really pick me out after the matter is out, I will naturally have to settle the old and new accounts with the Zheng family. But if the Zheng family fails to get myself out Take it out, then I don’t need to do it.”

Lin Jian didn't tell Jia Lian what was going on, but told him earnestly, "You stay in the capital from now on, just do your own errands well, and don't bother with other things unless I or the Holy One orders you. Next I'm afraid there will be some turbulence for a while, so you should be careful, what should be said should not be said, what should be done should not be done, and you should have a sense of proportion in your heart."

Jia Lian quickly agreed.

When he came out of the house and turned back to his own mansion, the more Jia Lian thought about what Lin Jian had said to him last, the more unusual it became.

Jia Lian has not been in the capital for the past half year, but he knows everything that happened in the capital for the past half year. Judging from the events of the past half year, Jia Lian knows what kind of person Lin Jian is. Let's just say that before he left, during those days when he was watching Lin Jian, he knew that Lin Jian was quite a calculating and cunning person.

Such a person who is good at planning and planning, even if he is in someone else's game, how can he be willing to do nothing and get caught?

Based on what Lin Jian said, Jia Lian could conclude that Lin Jian should have already made a plan in secret, and in the next few days, all he had to do was wait for the final closing of the net.

As for the by-election and appointment of officials, as Lin Jian had heard, nearly [-]% of the by-elections for vacant official positions were people with four kings and eight princes. This was the result of the selection from the Ministry of Officials.

The result was sent to Zhongshu Province, and Prime Minister Yu read it with several scholars from Zhongshu Province, and they didn't change much, only changed the names of two or three people, and then submitted it directly to Emperor Chengsheng.

Emperor Chengsheng had read the roster and resumes of each person submitted, and he did not change a word or change a single word. According to the results of the discussion between the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Zhongshu, all of them were approved. After another two days, the officials elected by the by-election He took office immediately.

Jia Baoyu's name was delivered to Emperor Chengsheng all the way, and Emperor Chengsheng did not change it. Naturally, Jia Baoyu entered the Imperial Academy as he wished, and made a review of the Imperial Academy from the seventh rank.

Shortly after the by-election and appointment of officials, the capital and the public, after a rest of more than ten days inside and outside the court, have basically returned to their previous appearance.

The monks who survived by chance returned to their original places, and the arrested thugs were still tightly locked up in prison, but on the surface it seemed that the scene had returned to its previous appearance, but those who were Such a family who died in the massacre of the thugs, their pain may never be repaired.

During this period, another incident happened in the DPRK and China.Emperor Chengsheng decreed to abolish the post of general.

After the imperial decree is issued, it means that this dynasty will no longer have the post of general.Regardless of whether it is a real position or a false title, the general will no longer be used as a reward for the courtiers by the royal family.

This sacred decree caused a sensation in the government and the public, no matter how shocked or guessed by others, Lin Jian was not surprised at all here.The decree of Emperor Chengsheng was expected by Lin Jian, and he knew very well in his heart that Emperor Chengsheng was only following his original plan.

The position of the General will be abolished, and in the future, when the time is right, the positions of the Secretary of State and the Prime Minister will also be abolished together.

After the Zhongshu Province was abolished, the power was divided among the six ministers, and the six ministers were directly responsible for Cheng Shengdi. There was no need for the Zhongshu Province and the prime minister to be in the middle. In this way, the power of civil servants and military officials will be evenly distributed. The situation will be greatly improved.

It's just that the current situation has not yet reached that point, and the generals have just been abolished. The capital and various prefectures, counties and townships have just experienced some turmoil. The situation in various places needs to be stabilized. Emperor Chengsheng can't act rashly. He needs to enter the Fengxian Temple to kneel down to the ancestors and ancestors to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth to plead guilty. At this time, Zhongshu Sheng and the prime minister cannot be abolished. He also needs Zhongshu Sheng and the prime minister to stabilize the court for him.

Emperor Chengsheng had to kneel in Fengxian Hall for seven days. When he issued an imperial decree to go to Fengxian Hall to plead guilty in front of ancestors, ancestors and heaven and earth, Empress Dowager Shen also issued an order, saying that he would go to heaven and earth together with Emperor Chengsheng. To plead guilty, Empress Dowager Shen entered the Buddhist Hall of Shouan Palace for seven days when Emperor Chengsheng knelt down to worship the ancestral hall, repented in front of the Buddha, pleaded guilty and bullied, and asked the Buddha to bless the believers all over the world.

Emperor Chengsheng wanted to kneel down in the Hall of Fengxian to plead guilty. During these seven days, he ignored the government affairs, and a big court meeting was stopped during the period.

However, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Emperor Chengsheng ignores the government, and the prince should supervise the country's governance.But the prince has not been seen for many days. The affairs in Huaiyin are handled by people close to the prince together with the Huaiyin magistrate and local officials. It is said that the prince is not a problem, but the speculation about the prince has not stopped for a day. .

Someone in the court mentioned this matter, one said that the crown prince was missing, and the other said that the crown prince had to deal with the affairs of Huaiyin, and it might be difficult to deal with the affairs of the court. As soon as it came out, it caused an uproar among the ministers.

Just because someone proposed to ask the prime minister to oversee the country, and someone suggested to ask the prince and prince to oversee the country, the said people were all different.Naturally, it aroused many discussions among the people.

But these proposals were strongly opposed by the officials before Chengshengdi said anything.Even Prime Minister Yu reprimanded them for talking nonsense.

——The prince is still alive, how can he ask others to supervise the country?Isn't this a big treason?

Emperor Chengsheng was very decisive, he ignored these suggestions, and directly ordered that the crown prince supervise the country during the time when he knelt down to confess his crimes in the Fengxian Hall, and the crown prince would also handle all government affairs.

When Lin Jian heard the imperial decree, he still murmured in his heart, the crown prince is still ill in Huaiyin, this man doesn't know what's wrong, how to deal with the government affairs?It is not difficult to send the official memorial to Huaiyin from the capital, but how can the crown prince finish reading so many things?

Lin Jian was afraid that Xiao Yu would be overwhelmed by his illness.

But a few days later, on the first day that Emperor Chengsheng entered Fengxian Hall, news came back from Huaiyin, and Qian Ying also told Lin Jian that the crown prince recovered from his illness and appeared in front of everyone in Huaiyin. Destroy those rumors.The crown prince can deal with the official documents sent by Duzhong as usual, and someone sent a message back to tell Lin Jian not to worry about him.
