Under Jiang Ning's series of policies, various departments in the Wu Dynasty were on the right track.
All waste awaits prosperity.
Naturally, subtle changes also occurred in the court of the Wu Dynasty.
That is the power of the Imperial Master's Office, which is being swallowed up bit by bit.
On the contrary, the six departments led by Jiang Ning gradually gained the upper hand.
It can be said that a sentence was fulfilled, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and now it has come true in the court of Wu Dynasty!
Even if Liu Zhong despised Jiang Ning, there was nothing he could do. He had to endure it in the Golden Palace.
In fact, since the six minions under his control were killed, it has gradually declined.
The meeting is over.
Liu Zhong returned to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, holding a long black sword, and chopped into pieces all the antique calligraphy and paintings around him, as well as tables, chairs and stools.
Debris all over the floor…
There is no place to stay.
However, this still could not reduce the anger in his heart, and he continued to wave the sword.
Li Muzi walked in and pretended to feel sorry for Liu Zhong when he saw him like this, "Father, are you okay? What's going on?"
Liu Zhong yelled angrily, "Xu Wenqing is a villain, and he contradicted me in the court today!"
"Publicly humiliate me!
"It's too much..." Li Muzi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to kill him right now!"
For the leader of Mo Pavilion, killing a scholar was as easy as picking something out of a bag.
"Muzi, stop!"
"Father..." Li Muzi frowned. He's like this. Can he still endure it?
"Xu Wenqing is the official minister who was just promoted by Jiang Ning. He cannot die..." Liu Zhongxin said reluctantly, his eyes full of coldness. "If you can't kill him, it's not impossible to kill some people who are related to him!"
Li Muzi instantly understood what it meant.
"Father, I'll take care of it right away!"
"Make it cleaner!"
"yes!"
…
Wuming Hall, Bian Hall.
Xu Wenqing was kneeling with her forehead pressed against the cold ground.
"I will not give up even if I die, so please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Ning glanced sideways at Xu Wenqing, who was kneeling in front of him, and said calmly: "Right now, I don't know whether I should praise you or praise you!"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Although Xu Wenqing was a scholar, he did not have so many tricks. In the words of later generations, he was an honest man and an iron man.
Such people, in a society characterized by intrigue and intrigue, will inevitably become the target of being disliked and ostracized.
But in the Wu Dynasty, in this era, such a person had a high position and authority, so naturally he had a different style.
"Did I say I would punish you?"
Jiang Ning was not angry, "Okay, stop kneeling, get up quickly!"
There are no outsiders here now, and there is no need to hold it.
ah?
Xu Wenqing looked like he had heard something wrong, his eyes were wide open and his head was buzzing.
this…
"Your Majesty, the one I contradicted was the current imperial advisor!"
Xu Wenqing said, logically, Emperor Wu should not spare him lightly.
Jiang Ning said soberly: "He? What kind of national advisor is he? He is just a thief who plans to steal the Wu Dynasty!"
Xu Wenqing didn't expect Jiang Ning to be so sober.
Sure enough, the current Emperor Wu is wise and can distinguish right from wrong.
"Martial...Martial Emperor Shengming!"
Xu Wenqing kowtowed again.
"Okay, okay..." Jiang Ning waved his hands impatiently. When he first came here, he felt that it felt very good to have others kneel down for him. Now that he is kneeling down every day, his head feels numb. He said lightly: "I asked you to
I came here not to punish you, but to ask about the situation of the officials!"
Xu Wenqing nodded and reported quickly.
He told Jiang Ning all the latest information about the officials.
Jiang Ning nodded knowingly, "You are an upright man. I will leave the staff to you. I can rest assured!"
"Just remember, whenever there is an example of buying or selling an official position, please pay attention to the head on your neck!"
"Yes...Your Majesty!"
"Also, any officials who fail the assessment will be asked to pack up and get out!"
“If you don’t make decisions for the people as an official, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!”
"yes!"
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Write what you just said into a slogan and put it on the staff and the Golden Palace!"
"yes!"
Just like that, within a day, all the officials in the capital knew this famous saying.
If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes - Emperor Wu!
"Okay, nothing happens. You can go down first!" Jiang Ning waved his hand. As long as he, the boss, is impartial, naturally the people below him will not dare to stir up trouble.
Xu Wenqing nodded and was about to leave, but stopped again.
Jiang Ning saw the clue at a glance and asked directly: "Is something wrong?"
"Just tell me if you do!"
Xu Wenqing hesitated for a while and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I... I want to go home and have a look!"
Jiang Ning smiled, "Now you can be considered as returning to your hometown. I'm sure, go back!"
"By the way, who else is at home?"
"Only elderly parents!"
"Well..." Jiang Ning responded, "Take them all!"
"I thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Emperor Wu!"
Xu Wenqing left the Golden Palace after paying a grand ceremony.
Then, when he returned to Xu Mansion, he asked his servants to prepare the carriage. After doing this, he returned to the place where he was born.
Although he is over forty, he is still eager to return home and wishes he could go back immediately.
Let your parents see you now, successful and successful...
Thinking of these, it is difficult to suppress the excitement in my heart.
"Quick, quick... speed up!"
"It's...Master!"
The speed of the carriage suddenly increased.
Click, click, click…
dusty.
Xu Wenqing's hometown is in Baili County, Lanmu Township and Gouzi Village, just outside the capital.
Among hundreds of households in a village, there was only one scholar, Xu Wenqing. He could be said to be the hope of the whole village.
The whole village looked forward to him becoming a high official and benefiting eight villages in ten miles.
Three or four hours later, the carriage stopped at Gouzi Village.
The coachman said: "Master, I have arrived at the Gouzi Village you mentioned, and I didn't see anyone!"
"How can it be?"
Xu Wenqing opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
Looking around, all the short thatched huts are located in an orderly manner...
I have been wandering in Beijing for many years, and now I have returned to my hometown. Tears filled my eyes uncontrollably.
"Xishun, let's enter the village!"
"It's...Master!"
Xishun drove the carriage and followed Xu Wenqing quietly.
He looked left and right, and he always felt that something was wrong in this village. As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell now.
As we walked, we came to the center of the village, where the grindstone...
Still no one was seen.
At this time, Xu Wenqing also frowned, "Logically speaking, everyone should be at home at this time. Why is there no one there now?"
"Yes, sir, that's what I want to say!"
"So weird!"
"Let's look for it first..." Xu Wenwen had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still did not think of the bad side of the matter.
