In Yicheng and Summer Palace, one after another civil and military courtiers were carried out of the hall with pale faces!
The reasons why they were framed varied greatly. Some were accused of bribery, some were accused of colluding with demons, and some had crimes dating back decades.
But no matter what the reason is, it will not affect today's result.
Some of them were trembling and unable to speak a word. They were dragged all the way out of the palace gate by the palace guards as if they were dragging people to death. Some of them struggled wildly and cursed, listing Yongchang Prefect Meng Jiaoyang and the Meng family's ancestors one by one.
The scolding was extremely unpleasant, and the sound was so loud that it echoed in the unusually quiet Summer Palace.
But soon, those voices of despair and anger stopped abruptly in the distance.
Then, there was an increasingly weird and cold silence.
The court meeting in the Summer Palace did not last long. Everything happened as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times. In the silence of the vast majority of civil and military courtiers, and with the full cooperation of several core civil and military ministers, the new prefect Meng Jiao
With an authoritative determination that even surpassed Meng Xiaotian's heyday, Yang completed a reshuffle of civil and military officials that was bound to shock the entire Yongchang County.
At the end of the court meeting, the civil and military officials who had been granted amnesty lowered their heads one by one and left quickly. No one could walk and talk in small groups like usual, covering the entire distance from the main hall of the Summer Palace to the palace gate.
A walking trail after cooking.
They walked stiffly through the square, walked through the palace gate tremblingly, stepping on the blood that flowed and spattered on the ground, and could not feel the slightest peace until they boarded their carriage.
Everyone knows that the impact of this court meeting will definitely not stop there. After the court meeting, starting from Yicheng, countless people will be imprisoned and their family members will be imprisoned.
, will be sent to the Southern Xinjiang Jedi or the Jiaofang Division.
No one knows whether he will accidentally get on one of the prefect's lists and be thrown out in public at the next court meeting like everyone today.
They only know that after such a court meeting, no one in today's Yongchang County dares to disobey the authority of the new prefect. But once he could stand in white in the court hall, to a large extent, he could
The scholar who controls the political situation will probably never appear in the Summer Palace again, or even...
Never again...
In the main hall of the Summer Palace, all the courtiers had left, but Meng Jiaoyang did not leave. He stood aside and sat alone on the throne belonging to the prefect, looking at the empty hall, lost in thought.
After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, the door of the main hall was suddenly opened from the outside. A middle-aged man with an indifferent expression pushed the door in, turned around and closed the door of the main hall again. He walked step by step to the middle of the empty main hall and stood there, looking up.
He looked at Meng Jiaoyang and said nothing.
Meng Jiaoyang didn't look like her usual sensual self at this moment. He put his hands on his knees and looked down at the middle-aged man with a serious face. He spoke first with a calm voice, "Yi Bai, do you want Meng Sanshu to become Yongchang?"
The prefect of the county?"
Standing in the main hall was the assassin Yi Bai, a strong man in the upper three realms of Yongchang County. He kept staring at Meng Jiaoyang quietly for a long time without making any movement, and then slowly shook his head.
Seeing him shaking his head, Meng Jiaoyang relaxed her slightly tense body, and her voice became slightly softer, "In today's world, today's Yongchang County can no longer allow the emergence of a weak and incompetent governor like a puppet...
..”
He raised his head and exhaled a long breath, "I will not kill him, nor will I kill Meng Zian. You know, I am not a willful person like my father. If I can't decide, I will go to the prison."
If you see them in town, ask them."
Yi Bai still didn't speak.
Meng Jiaoyang's upright body finally stooped a little, and he sighed deeply, "I know that San Shu is not a person who is greedy for the power of the prefect. You and he abolished your father together. If you let your second brother or my youngest son go,
After being promoted to the position of prefect, it didn't take long for him to be the only voice in Yongchang County, but he still chose me after all, even though I seemed weak and incompetent at that time, like a piece of mud that couldn't hold up a wall...
...."
Meng Jiaoyang took a breath.
Angry, as he spoke, he had regained some of his previous majestic temperament, "No matter what, I should thank him, but as a descendant of the Meng family, there are some things I must do, otherwise, even if it takes several years or ten
Years later, Meng Sanshu finally returned the authority of the prefect to me, and he still laid the groundwork for the demise of the Meng family in Yongchang. When the next powerful official appears, no one knows whether he will be like Meng Sanshu.
people!"
Yi Bai just looked at Meng Jiaoyang, listening to what he said as if he was saying it to him, but also as if he was saying it to himself. After a long time, he finally spoke, "You deliberately sent me away and only used the court to
Officials from various factions of the Chinese, Wen, and Wu factions must have transferred a lot of benefits to complete today's work."
Meng Jiaoyang sneered and snorted, "Of course," he stood up and looked down at Yi Bai from a higher position, "Those who were left in the court by the Third Secretary have all been removed, so there is room for them.
Just take out a few inconspicuous ones from the position, and then you can get rid of those small and medium-sized families who are like crazy dogs, and the rest will be replaced by my people. As for the Zhao family of Jun Cheng and the Wang family of Jun Wei..."
He paused and said coldly, "The position in Zhaoshui City that originally belonged to Meng Zian was given to Zhao Nanpeng's father-in-law Sun Miao, and the position of General Yicheng that was vacated after Sun Miao left was given to Wang Quanhu's confidant, Xu Lin...
...."
Yi Bai lowered his head and shook his head, "Originally, if you only need to return Mencius to Zhaoshui City, then everything in Yongchang County, whether it's the court or the army, will be under your control..."
"Control?" Meng Jiaoyang laughed loudly, then stared into Yi Bai's eyes and said, "Do you know, my father was so guarded against me back then, no matter how useless I behaved, he never said anything serious in front of me.
, but when I was young, he was not like this. He once said something that I still remember. He said, never put your greatest reliance on others. "
"Yi Bai, a scholar like Meng Sanshu will never understand what real control is," Meng Jiaoyang turned sideways and looked at the huge screen behind the prefect's throne.
Then a figure covered in a red cloak walked out from behind the screen.
Even in Yi Bai's city, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, "Hundred Beasts Mountain..."
Meng Jiaoyang smiled slightly, looked at Yi Bai with squinted eyes, and said in a slow and low voice, "How could I easily hand over the position of General Yicheng to the Wang family when General He Yucheng is already Wang Hui? Today's General Yicheng
Xu Lin...has a poisonous poison planted by Master Hongxiao...!"
Yi Bai frowned slightly, glanced at the figure under the red cloak, and then looked at Meng Jiaoyang.
Meng Jiaoyang's eyes turned cold, "After this Annan Conference, I confirmed that General Song Ningshan of Xingcheng is still loyal to my Meng family. The current General Yicheng seems to be a member of the Wang family, but in fact he is still loyal to my Meng family. In addition, now
The Shanshan Army, which has been initially controlled by Fan'er, and you..." He looked at Yi Bai, "No matter Sun Miao of Zhaoshui City or Wang Hui of Heyu City, they will fight to the death for me in southern Xinjiang.
