There were two official examinations in the capital, and the examination of the court lieutenants had to be completed first, and it took less than ten days from the edict to the overall examination until the successful selection of 500 qualified officials.

Of course, a considerable number of them were originally dispatched by law enforcement officers from Huainan to cross the river. But even so, it is enough to show the enthusiasm of the people of the time for this method of human selection.

This group of selected officials is also impossible to use the text and martial arts according to the standards proposed by Shan Yao, literacy and hyphenation are the basics, and the second is that they all have good martial arts.

This selection is a very rare reform and innovation, although it took a short time, but it was not sloppy at all.

In particular, Shen Zhezi wants to implement it as a customization, so he personally presides over it from beginning to end, whether it is the setting of exam questions or various examination processes, including the correction and selection of final results, they are all extremely solemn, and all processes are recorded in the book, half for review and trimming, and half for follow-up teaching.

In order to distinguish these officials from the original system, changes have also been made in terms of uniforms and symbols, especially in clothing, black and black samurai robes on a white background are taken from black and white, with vermilion belts, copper wire corners, and double swords at the waist, one with a bamboo blade and the other with an iron blade, showing that the magic sword is both merciful and ruthless.

Regardless of the rest, the uniforms of this group of court officers alone are refreshing, highlighting the majesty and solemnity of the law enforcers. Before it was even put into formal law enforcement arrests, it was called "Eagle Claw" in Taiwan.

And this batch of eagle talons officially appeared in front of the people, that is, from outside Jiankang City, Wang Hu Zhi and Wang Qizhi were arrested and returned to the Tainei court lieutenant.

Man is always a visual animal, and when this group of neatly dressed and majestic court officials marched through the streets of Jiankang City, the people in the capital were shocked. Soon, the name of Talon spread throughout the city by word of mouth.

Unlike the mention of this title in Taiwan, which is contemptuous and contemptuous, the people can be said to be in awe and admiration when discussing it. Because Tingwei, as the highest law enforcement agency in China, is mainly faced with incumbent officials or local tyrants, even if ordinary people violate the prohibition, they cannot reach the level of needing to dispatch Tingwei.

There is no danger of pointing to itself, and seeing the fall of the high position is a long-standing evil taste accumulated by the people, they are naturally more willing to imagine the evil star in the eyes of these high-ranking officials and powerful men as a kind of upright image.

It is precisely because of the appearance of the so-called eagle claw group of officials that the Yangzhou Prefecture Officials Examination, which is slightly behind, has gained more attention from the times, and in the last bit of time near the registration deadline, the number of people who came to take the examination has surged, reaching thousands of people. It can also be seen that this potential in the countryside should not be underestimated once it is stimulated.

Depending on the situation, it is difficult to achieve a common focus. The heated discussion brought about by the official examination quickly cooled down in Taiwan, and the focus of the ministers quickly shifted to the Wang brothers who were arrested and returned to the capital.

However, these two people did not show up in the stage at all, and they were immediately imprisoned in the court lieutenant prison after they were arrested and entered the capital, and the progress of the interrogation was not disclosed to the outside world at all. This naturally made the Taiwan ministers very dissatisfied, so there was another wave of criticism and impeachment in Taiwan.

However, these people soon became less lively, because the deadline for the court commander to report the rebellion had arrived. Although many people have been forced to submit in private, there are also a considerable number of Taiwanese ministers who are still stubborn and ignore this.

So this time, Shan Yao made these Taichen realize what it means to be really cool, and 500 eagle claw officials went out to go through the city to arrest those Taichen who did not report from beginning to end. The entire Taicheng was in chaos for a while, and many Taiwanese ministers were still working in the office, so they were directly arrested and sent to the court lieutenants.

No matter how violent the verbal attack is, it is false, and when the so-called threat is implemented, the shock to people is really huge. Shan Yao's style of acting as a man of his word completely exceeded the limits of the current cognition, and even the officials of the Shen family faction had some riots for a while.

Because there are too many Taiwanese ministers arrested this time, there are more than 100 people, and they already account for nearly one-third of the total number of officials with official rank in Taiwan. Once this part of the people is really criminalized and held accountable, the matter will be paralyzed for a certain period of time, and the subsequent repercussions will be even more far-reaching.

The ministers also knew that He Chong actually lacked the ability to preside over the situation at the moment, so some of the ministers went straight to the state city to ask Liang Gong, hoping that Liang Gong would suppress the arrogance of Shanyao a little. And another part of the ministers gathered outside the Taiji Palace, begging the emperor to come forward to depose Shanyao, if the situation is allowed to develop again, I am afraid that the country will not be a country!

Shen Zhezi had foreseen a similar situation, and even those Taiwanese ministers who asked for help had not yet arrived, he had already transferred part of the Fenwu Army under the command of Xiao Yuandong in Shicheng, and when the situation in Taipei was about to be in chaos, he personally put on armor and led this part of the Fenwu Army soldiers to enter Taicheng directly, and personally sat in the Taiji Hall to suppress the riots.

Such a shocking change occurred in the stage, and the emperor in the garden naturally knew about it. The emperor personally witnessed the rebellion of the ministers and the tragic death of his mother, and saw the ministers being abused like this, and there should have been no lack of happiness in his heart.

But the so-called nature is difficult to change, he is not a strong and fierce person at all, after hearing the crying voices of the ministers within the garden wall, it is inevitable that there is a little unbearable in his heart, and he muttered for a long time before deciding to summon Liang Gong to see.

Shen Zhezi was still in armor, but when he entered the garden, he took off his sword, and after entering the garden, he saw the emperor sitting on the imperial bed, and he also felt a little emotion in his heart.

This time he returned to the capital, he clearly felt the emperor's feelings of alienation and dependence on him, and to be honest, he didn't know how to deal with the current too delicate relationship between the monarch and the minister, so although it had been a while since he returned, the monarch and the minister were actually deliberately avoiding this kind of separate meeting.

"The ministers were edicted to take care of Taiwan affairs, but they were unable to calm down the feelings of the masses, because they were tired of His Majesty being disturbed by the crowd, and they were really ashamed."

After entering the hall, Shen Zhezi bowed down.

"Sister...... Shen Qing, please. ”

The emperor was still dressed in mourning clothes, and first raised his hand to ask the chamberlain to invite Shen Zhezi to take a seat, but he really didn't know where to start, so he lowered his head again, and was silent for a long time before laughing at himself: "Compared with the previous turmoil, these Xu Riots are nothing. Shen Qing has the ability to settle down, and since he entered the stage, everything has been arranged in an orderly manner, so that I can be able to mourn in peace, and I should actually thank you for my filial piety. ”

Shen Zhezi sat on the side of the hall, seeing that the emperor had a depressed and tangled expression, and after a little muttering, he saluted again: "Even if you don't care about the harmony of the monarch and the ministers, and the kindness of Your Majesty, Su Zu has not dared to forget for a moment!" ”

When the emperor heard this, his heart moved again. Now he is no longer the straightforward and simple of his early years, so he soon heard the overtones in these words. The monarch and the minister replied, it is clear that the use of grace in the world is something that needs to be remembered and remembered, what does "even if it doesn't matter" mean? In any case, this is not what a courtier should say to a king!

The implication is that this brother-in-law of his family may not regard him as a king in his heart!

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but recall the time when Su Zu was in turmoil in the early years, and Shen Zhezi replied to each other after he returned to King Qin. Maybe from that time......

The emperor took a deep breath, and there was no lack of shame in his heart for being despised for being despised in his heart, but he quickly turned to the follow-up sentence. Indeed, even regardless of the status of the monarch and the minister, the brother-in-law who returned as a lonely and weak person shook the Su Jun rebels was beyond the obligation of the monarch and the minister, at least at that time, only his brother-in-law showed such a strong intention and behavior of the king, and rushed into the chaotic Jiankang City with a gesture of no hesitation.

Thinking about it this way, this means that even if there is no longer that kind of bond between them, Duke Liang will still not turn his back on the kindness of Su Zu in his early years. It's just that this kindness is not necessarily related to the national weapon, but a private reciprocation.

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes became moist again, he looked straight at Shen Zhezi with both eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Shen, brother-in-law, do you know that at that time, there was turmoil in Jin, I knew that as long as my brother-in-law returned to the capital, no matter how big the turmoil was, I looked forward to your return day and night, but, until the moment when the queen mother died, I couldn't hope for you...... I really hate you, I hate how you have changed...... Hate, hate my own mediocrity, if I can get a little bit of your ability, I, I ......"

Speaking of this, the emperor was even more excited, covering his face with his sleeves and sobbing incessantly.

"Minister...... That's it, I really didn't expect the queen mother to be ...... I am indeed relying on my own talents, a little hope, but at that time the situation in Jiangbei, I really should not move lightly, Shi Zhishang peeped at Qingyan, Xu Fang and I are newly undecided, if you enter the capital lightly, the situation in Jiangbei will inevitably fluctuate...... This time, it's really a big deal. ”

Seeing that the emperor was so sad, Shen Zhezi also felt embarrassed for a while, and he also knew that the emperor must have been through a long inner struggle before he finally couldn't help but be honest with him, and Shen Zhezi no longer concealed his intentions and trade-offs. After all, he needs to bear a certain amount of responsibility for the death of the Queen Mother, and the responsibility of connivance is inevitable.

The emperor sobbed for a long time and gradually suppressed his crying, and then sighed again: "I actually had a lot of confusion in previous years when my father chose a brother-in-law on the occasion of the emperor's great trip. But now that I think about it, maybe my brother-in-law really has some endowment close to my father's emperor, even my sister-in-law is not as good as it...... I, my brother-in-law, and I are probably two types of people who can't be discussed together after all. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor's words were abrupt, and then he looked out of the hall again, and said with no lack of worry: "But, brother-in-law, do you really think that acting so cruelly will not cause chaos?" The mountains are far away, and the deeds are almost ruthless, I am afraid that your brother-in-law will be burdened by him......"

"Please rest assured that Your Majesty, whether the instrument is sharp or dull or not, the important thing is how to use it. The current stream is afraid at the moment, but there are too many people involved. But in fact, the world is talented, and it may not be too valuable. In the world of Yongjia, how can Shi Xian's suffering be so much compared to the present? Even so, Zhongzong came to the south to use one hundred and six scholars, and he was still able to create this Zhongxing body, and the legal system had to be continued. Spring and autumn are in order, the grass and trees should be prosperous and withered, and the unheard of the sadness of things can save the spring and autumn! ”

When Shen Zhezi said this, his eyes were shining again. The general trend is rolling, and he still can't talk about the certainty of hope, as for those wailing crowds, where did he get the courage to think that he could influence the general trend.

Seeing this scene, the emperor's mood gradually stabilized, and he opened his mouth again, and finally said softly: "I, I still trust my brother-in-law......"
