For a politician, this is death, absolute death.》.[]

Shi Pu is dead, but in fact he is still alive in the officialdom because he still has connections, official reputation, and reputation.

Therefore, some people asked for a posthumous title for him, some complained about him, and some deducted and delayed the food, grass and ammunition of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty on his behalf.

But Wang Ji was alive but actually dead, and Ding Yi ruthlessly cut off his last chance of life.

If Ding Yi had not killed him in front of Chen Xun tonight, maybe Wang Ji could still survive in the officialdom.

But when the chief minister understands Wang Ji's situation, it won't take long for the big shots in the court to know that Wang Ji is dead.

There is no holy family, no official reputation, and even the official connections that he is proud of have been cut off by Ding. What else does he have?

Moreover, he is not young anymore.

It's true that Ding Yi is an enemy of the scholar-bureaucrats all over the world, so he doesn't necessarily have any chance of winning.

But even if he fails completely and Ding is only in his twenties, he can still start all over again.

Wang Ji, who has crossed more bridges than Ding Yi, is already over seventy years old.

Wang Ji wiped his face heavily in the wind. At this time, he was even more depressed than when he was a jailer in Nangong. He said to the soldiers with great frustration: "Pack your things and go back to your hometown tomorrow.

"He knew that if he didn't leave, he would really die.

Ding Yi didn't need to kill him. Ding Yi said, "If you dare to speak nonsense, what if the students kill you here?"

He really killed Wang Ji without using a knife.

He has been an official for decades, but his appearance is not good-looking. Therefore, he has offended and harmed many people in these decades.

If he could still live in the officialdom, naturally those people would not dare to do anything to him, not because he could still ride a horse or dance with a sword in his seventies, but because he was a big shot in the court and he still had

With power and enough old disciples, those people had no choice but to hide their hatred deep in their hearts.

And now, they will appear, like carrion beasts, eating every piece of his flesh and blood.

Did the stewards in Wang Ji's mansion use their power to bully others? Did the members of the Wang family run rampant in the countryside?

As long as you are willing to look for the fault, there will definitely be one.

Not to mention his previous crimes of killing good people and taking credit for their crimes. As soon as they were revealed, he really died without a complete body.

Therefore, obeying Ding Yi's request honestly, begging for bones and applying for retirement is the last and best destination.

This night was not a pleasant night for Wang Ji.

But for the first assistant Chen Xun, he agreed that it was not an easy night.

"Ding Rujin is not someone who indulges mermaids. Anyone who doesn't see this clearly will end up like Uncle Jing Yuan." Chen Xun said softly to the servants who were waiting for news. These people were sent by the cabinet ministers.

Chen Xun, who came with his close aide, saw how Ding Yi killed Wang Ji. Although he had never looked down on Ding Yi, he could not deny that this sword was more lethal than the one that beheaded the commander of the Jin Yiwei in Fengtian Palace.

People feel amazed and shocked.

Therefore, after Chen Xun returned to his home, he immediately followed the servants who were waiting for the news at his home, and the personal followers of the court bosses passed on this sentence. They were all the long-term followers who had followed their master up and down the officialdom for decades.

They knew what they should do, and no one asked Jing Yuanbo what happened to him or what they should do next. They saluted Chen Xun, said goodbye, and then left separately.

After these servants left, a trembling old man came out from behind the screen. You don't have to look at the clusters of age spots on his head and face. He was three or four meters away. He exuded a strong old man's smell, which was enough.

The most filial young man held his breath. After he sat down, he sighed and closed his eyes. The bags under his eyes seemed to be permanently replacing his eyes on his face.

"Gong De, I can't keep this man." The old man who couldn't be any older opened his eyes. There were no young eyes, no clear eyes. The old eyes were chaotic. They had witnessed many winds and frosts and ups and downs. Maybe they had already

I can't see clearly the words on the paper, but I can see through people's hearts, "I am not the first, and Jing Yuanbo will not be the last. But both De Gong and me know that you must be one of them."

Chen Xun smiled and didn't say anything. It was meaningless to see through some things. For example, a policeman with no talent, no literature, no boxing, no courage, no power and no money could see through the secret of the six-room clerk of the county government.

What's the use of the boss's thoughts? What can he do? He can't even get close to the county magistrate or the county magistrate. All he can do is watch.

This extremely old man is just like the policeman who has nothing, even though he is Wang Zhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs of the current dynasty.

As the chief assistant, Chen Xun didn't care at all what Wang Zhi saw through.

"Mr. Yi'an, Ru Jin also has good intentions." Chen Xun called Wang Zhi by his nickname and said with a smile.

He said it very sincerely, as if this was a fact, or in other words, Chen Xun himself believed that this was a fact.

Because Wang Zhi had already begun to take a nap, there was a slight snoring sound, and the smell of the old man could be heard everywhere.

He is too old. Although there are many things he can see clearly, it is meaningless and he has no energy.

If he is still allowed to go to court, it will not be a good thing for the officials of the Ming Dynasty or for himself.

From this point of view, Ding Yi's proposal is really a good intention, both for the country and for Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi's eyebrows trembled, and then he woke up and exhaled. It was not bad breath, but the breath of death. It was the strong smell of death in a body that was so rotten that it could stop at any time.

It seemed that he had taken a nap, and exhaled such a breath, which made death slightly away from Wang Zhi. His eyes opened this time, and they really had a sharp look: "Do you know the killer, Mr. De? He is a killer, a top-notch killer."

When a killer sees the flash of a sword, the person he wants to kill is already dead, and there is not even a flash of the sword."

Chen Xun nodded. Wang Zhi spoke very quickly. People who climbed to their position would slow down their speech unconsciously.

Of course, it’s not that Xiang Dingyi deliberately imitated the demeanor of the chief minister, but that before they said a sentence, they had gone through it many times in their minds, the effect of the sentence, the reaction of the people who heard it, etc. Wang Zhizhen

He is old, so old that he no longer has the energy to think about too many things. What he says now is more like an intuition and an instinct.

What must not be ignored is that the king of beasts kills out of instinct and intuition when he is about to die, which is more deadly than the killing of a tiger in its prime.

This is also the reason why Chen Xun tolerates this old man's smell.

And Wang Zhi's words, which were based on intuition and instinct, were actually infinitely close to the truth: "I said before that Ding Yan and Ding Rujin's words were the light of his sword. When he saw the light of the sword, the person who should be killed was the one who should be killed.

What needs to be done has been done. Whether he is standing in front of troops or in charge of government, he is a genius, an absolute genius."

"Excellent killers are easy to come by, but those who can use them in military formations and court battles are rare."

"Han Xin is not, Liu Bang is; Huo Guang is not, Han Guangwu is; Fang Mou Dudu is not, Tian Khan is."

"The four words incredible cannot be applied to Ding Rujin, because to him, nothing is incredible."

"Gong De, I have to change my clothes." After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he paused with his crutches, and a servant came in to help him go to the toilet.

When he came back, he seemed to have forgotten the sharp words he had just said, and instead began to tell Chen Xun in a roundabout way that a certain outstanding grandnephew in his family would have to ask his chief minister to help him and take care of him in the future. No.

He did this deliberately, but it was the years that made Wang Zhi so old that he actually forgot what he had just said.

After sending Wang Zhi away, Chen Xun called his personal entourage, and after careful consideration, he told them: "Zong Hu. Remember, don't use any plots against him, or any hidden tricks against him." His personal entourage.

Take the order and go out.

After tying the tiger, you will let it go.

Chen Xun was not in a hurry, and he did not even specifically target Ding Yi.

Ding Yi is not a person who can use conspiracy to calculate.

He is not someone who can be threatened.

It is said that people who are mighty cannot bend, riches and honors cannot be promiscuous, and poor and humble cannot be moved. This is the kind of person we are talking about.

Fortunately, there are other ways to deal with real men besides conspiracy.

Conspiracy is often more deadly than conspiracy.

Power is not found in might, wealth, poverty or humbleness. This is a poison.

What Chen Xun had to do was to let Ding Yi take this poison happily.

He did not need to suppress Ding Yi or make Ding Yi listen to him. From the beginning, this was not Chen Xun's purpose.

Don’t forget that the chief minister represents the interests of the scholar-bureaucrat class.

What makes the scholar-official class feel fear is Ding Yi's hostility, the hostility that wants to completely crush the scholar-official class, which is like a Chinese blood-sucking insect.

Even if Ding Yi wants to seize the dragon throne, it is not necessarily something that the scholar-official class cannot accept.

Therefore, Chen Xun did not care what kind of power Ding Yi gained in the end.

What he wants to do is to make Ding Yi indulge in the habit of taking over the world until he can't extricate himself.

As long as Ding Yi can't extricate himself, then the idea of ​​officials and gentry working together to pay food and go to war will naturally disappear.

This was what he said in conjunction with the big shots in the imperial court, but it was not necessarily Chen Xun's own intention.

The power of the world cannot be given up simply by giving up. Even if Yingzong signed a secret treaty on the establishment of the constitution when he was in Nangong, after his restoration, he never took the initiative to mention it. Chen Xun hinted at it once, and Yingzong only said

The time is not yet ripe. Perhaps only those who have not sat on that chair will want to establish a constitution, right?

Of course, Chen Xun did not dwell on this matter, or even mentioned it again, not because Yingzong didn't mention it.

But he discovered that if the constitution is really implemented, maybe he can get complete power of the prime minister, but he will replace Ding Yi's role and become the enemy of the world. He absolutely does not want to be such a role, Ding Yi can see

Chen Xun may not be able to see the worries. The issue of land annexation is an unsolvable problem.
