"Emperor, the slave is guilty, the slave is late, Teng Xiang has already beaten someone, and then Xu Ge Lao came, and he was asking to see him, the emperor, to see or not to see?"

Feng Bao lay on the ground, finished the above paragraph very quickly, and then lay on the ground without saying a word. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Is Feng Bao late?

Of course not, none of these heads in the palace are not powerful and amazing, and Feng Bao is the deepest and most insidious of these people.

The officials are not less impeached, and he often lies down with guns, Teng Xiang is willing to mention the inner court and clean up the officials, of course he is happy to see it. It's just that Feng Bao won't rush out stupidly and bear the anger for Teng Xiang.

It's best for the officials to put all the accounts on Teng Xiang's head and kill him, the inner court is our family's final say, who doesn't want to be respected as an ancestor!

The struggle in the inner court is more sinister and direct than that in the outer court.

Long Qing didn't taste anything from Feng Bao's words, his attention was on the end, Xu Jie actually wanted to see him!

Thinking of Xu Jie's old face, Long Qing felt a burst of weakness, especially when he had just issued an order and beaten so many officials, no matter what, he was also at his own expense. Long Qing walked around on the ground and regretted it very much, but he had already done it, and he couldn't take back his words, otherwise where would the emperor's face go!

"I'll see you, I'm the emperor anyway, what else can I do?" Long Qing kept gaining courage and said to Feng Bao: "Go and invite Xu Ge Lao in!" ”

"Yes."

Feng Bao turned around and went down, outside the Qianqing Palace, Xu Jie's expression was solemn, and the hand in his sleeve kept trembling.

From the time he saw that Yanguan was beaten to a bloody and embarrassed state, Xu Jie knew that it was over!

Don't think about it two times anymore, between the saint and the henchmen, he can only choose one of the two. A successful Shoufu must be able to connect the previous and the next, that is, to serve the emperor well, and to lead the hundred officials well, only in this way will it be as stable as Mount Tai.

This is an ideal state, but once the conflict between the emperor and the hundred officials becomes more and more intense, the space left for the operation of the first assistant will become smaller and smaller, and in the end, just like Xu Jie, he has to sit on the side, walk on two legs, and break one leg, can he still hold on?

Xu Jie is also not sure, since the big victory of the small station, he has fallen into passivity, on the surface, Tang Yi has not done anything, including Hai Rui is recommended by Xu Jie.

But in the game, Xu Jie is a hard worker. Unconsciously, he was forced to have to collide with the emperor head-on, no matter what the victory or defeat, Lao Xu would be miserable!

Sure enough, it's my Ming Wen Kuixing, and his calculations are really ruthless!

Xu Jie gritted his teeth secretly, as long as the old man passed this level, even if he fought hard, he would sweep you and your Tang Party away!

"Elder Ge, Your Majesty is invited." Feng Bao called in a low voice.

Xu Jie, with Feng Bao, arrived at the Qianqing Palace and saluted Longqing.

"The first assistant is exempt, look at the seats."

A little eunuch moved a chair, and Xu Jie thanked him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has just arrived from Zuoshunmen, it's really miserable!" Xu Jie shook his head and sighed.

Long Qing's face turned red and he was very embarrassed.

"Shoufu, it's not that I'm vicious, but they deceive people too much, they ran to Zuoshunmen, cried and made a fuss, and ruined the system of the court and the face of the heavenly family. Where is this Ming courtier, he is simply a green-skinned scoundrel on the street, I really can't bear it, so I will teach it a lesson, the elder will not think it is inappropriate, this is the rule left by the grandfather. ”

Long Qing carefully considered the words, and also moved Zhu Yuanzhang out to press Xu Jie.

Obviously, Longqing has made rapid progress compared to the past, and he is no longer so innocent.

The problem is that the level difference between him and Xu Jie's level is too much, Xu Ge Lao sighed, "Your Majesty, the great grandfather set up the court staff to beat the traitors, of course, with good intentions, and there is no need to doubt it." However, after nearly two hundred years, the punishment of the court staff has changed more and more, for example, when the board was played before, there were still clothes left, and then they were simply taken off. When he was hit on his body, his skin and flesh were opened, and his muscles and bones were mud and rotten. Even if the tortured person survives, just cleaning the wound will have to cut off the rotten flesh and tendons, which weigh several catties. Some people were beaten to death with a rod, and some people were left with lifelong disabilities, unable to stand up for the rest of their lives, and they were miserable, and the face of the doctor was lost. ”

Xu Jie said that he was sad, and tears welled up.

Long Qing was also said to be very embarrassed, as if he had done something terrible, his face was feverish, "What the elder said is reasonable, but the court staff is so powerful, why are there still people who are desperate to anger Tianyan and regard the majesty of the heavenly family as nothing, are they not afraid of death?" ”

Long Qing raised his octave, and it was difficult to hide his anger.

Xu Jie lowered his eyebrows and continued to say: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the court staff destroys the body and mind, and it is extremely ruthless, if you are a traitor, you naturally deserve it, but since Chenghua, especially in the Zhengde Dynasty, the eunuchs have been in power, and they have used the court staff to attack hundreds of officials, clamp down on words, eradicate dissidents, and do everything. At one time, hundreds of officials were beaten, killed and injured, as many as dozens of people, how will the people of the world think? Are these people the most wicked? One person is not afraid of death, two people are not afraid of death, and there are dozens of people, hundreds of people are not afraid of death? Where the morality and hearts of the people are, there are also people who are not afraid of life and death. ”

In fact, the court staff of the Jiajing Dynasty is far more powerful than the Zhengde Dynasty, fortunately, Longqing is the son of Jiajing, and Xu Jie can only talk about Zhengde. Of course, Long Qing also understood what he meant, but he was still not convinced.

"Ge Lao, how did I hear that someone slandered the monarch and betrayed him, deliberately spoke wildly, deceived the court staff, and showed off all over the world, became holy, and all the people admired him, they took me as a stepping stone to fame, such a villain, shouldn't he be killed?"

It is rare that Xu Jie did not refute, but said calmly: "What Your Majesty said, it is true, there are hundreds of officials in the imperial court, good and bad, some have a good name, some are greedy for money, and so on. Using the court staff to become famous, it is really a shortcut to the south. However, the old minister thought that this matter should be traced back to the source, and the root cause was that the court staff was too cruel, and everyone had a conscience and sympathized with the weak, so they were blamed by the court staff, and they would be sympathized and admired by all parties. The old minister thinks that His Majesty's accession to the throne is renewed, it is time to sweep away the maladministration, refresh the situation, and make the people of the world refreshed, it is true that everyone admires, the people are grateful to Dade, and praise the benevolence of our emperor in unison. ”

Long Qing was really surprised, he didn't expect that Xu Jie, who usually doesn't speak much, turned out to be a master of unparalleled eloquence, and his long speech was reasonable, which made him unable to refute.

"Elder Ge, is it wrong to say that?"

"The old minister doesn't dare." Xu Jie saw that Longqing's attitude was very good, and he didn't want to make a fuss, so he hurriedly said: "It is true that some people have done something excessive, which has angered Your Majesty. As the first assistant, the old minister failed to restrain the officials, and it is also difficult to escape the blame. ”

Long Qing waved his hand, and said a little helplessly: "Elder Ge, how to deal with the current situation, you can always come out with a strategy!" ”

Xu Jie observed the words and found that Longqing did have some taste of resignation. He secretly shouted luck, he didn't expect it to be so easy, and he broke through a ghost gate!

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Jiezi carefully said: "Your Majesty, the hundred officials went to Zuo Shunmen to disturb the holy driver, they have already been punished, and Tianxin is merciful, so don't pursue it anymore." ”

Long Qing nodded obediently.

Xu Jie's courage became bolder, and he said: "As for rectifying the Dao, the old minister thinks that most of the officials are still good, and they should not overturn a boatload of people with a penny, it is better to be a little safer." ”

Inspecting the Yanguan and rectifying the Kedao was an important suggestion put forward by Zhang Juzheng, and Longqing also recognized it, but if he continued to investigate now, it was guaranteed to provoke a greater backlash, Longqing sighed and nodded in agreement.

Xu Jie was greatly encouraged, and he said: "Your Majesty, as a feudal official, the royal court has failed the grace of the gods, and it should be punished with capital punishment to warn the world. Lao Chen remembered that when Cao Cao broke Yuan Shao, many private correspondence was seized, and Cao Gong burned them all and did not pursue them. At that time, Lord Tang also burned the documents of Yuegang, which was deeply praised by the first emperor. The old minister thought that the small station and the big victory were rare in decades, and the morale was inspired, and the people applauded and praised the emperor Shengming, the majesty of the soldiers, and the strong martial arts. The minister thought that it was too much to raise a big prison at this time and implicate many courtiers. The common people still pay attention to the ugliness of the family and cannot be publicized, if it is because of too much climbing, it affects the morale of the army, but it is not beautiful, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks? ”

In a word, Xu Ge Lao still has to cover the lid and press it down.

Long Qing was unwilling, after Tang Yi's guidance, he had long known about the bullshit between businessmen, officials, and me. If they let it go this time, they won't necessarily cause much trouble next time!

Long Qing really didn't want to agree, but Xu Jie sat there, his momentum was a little shorter, and when he thought of scolding so many officials with his cane, in case of another big chaos, Long Qing's brain hurt, and he really didn't have the courage to clean up thoroughly.

In that case, there is only compromise!

Long Qing pinched his nose and nodded, Xu Jie saw that the emperor finally agreed, let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said goodbye and retreated.

Xu Jie left, Long Qing couldn't help but look up, looked at the four handwritten words on the pillar, and his face was full of shame, Master Tang, I am incompetent, I'm sorry for your hard work!

Speaking of which, is our Master Tang also so sad and angry?

Of course not, on the contrary, Tang Yi's small study was full of laughter, and the three strategists got together, a jar of red and fragrant, and even Mao Kun, who had always been extremely restrictive, raised his glass and drank it, and was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, Xu Jie, this old fox, finally forced him out of the hole, it's really not easy!"

Wang Yin blushed and said: "That's right, Xu Jie took the initiative to come out as a guarantor, they are undoubtedly a party, the old thing can no longer pretend to be high, and watch from the wall, once this immortal goes down to earth, it will inevitably beat the master to death, and the day when Xu Huating will leave his post is not far away!" ”

The big guy has been planning hard for several years, and the opportunity is finally ripe, how can you not be happy!

Shen Mingchen was drunk and hazy, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, where to start?" (To be continued.) )
