A catastrophe, a catastrophe, seems to have been resolved in this way, but has it really been resolved?

The answer is no, when Liu Xing got back into the carriage in the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers, and carried Zhao Huan's father and daughter into the east gate surrounded by everyone, looking at the crowds of people on both sides of the road, Liu Xing clearly felt that the power of his faith had weakened.

The reason for this weakening doesn't need to be thought about, it naturally comes from Zhao Huan, who was sitting in the carriage and was obviously mutilated by some kind of magic spell of the golden dog, and was made to look like a wooden man.

Zhao Huan was originally the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, even if he was mediocre in the past, then a scourge to the common people, and then a king of the country. But after all, he is the former head of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is the master who has long been recognized by the people of the world.

The existence of such a person will not just take away the power of his faith for Liu Xing. Liu Xing clearly realized that there would definitely be people who would make a fuss about him in the future, using him as a tool to compete with him for the supreme power of this imperial court.

But no matter who dares to use this old emperor to compete with him for the supreme power of the court in the future, Liu Xing has made up his mind more clearly: even if he is accused of rebellion by the people of the world, he will kill one by one, and destroy one by one. While killing him, he also had to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, restart the plant, and throw his family and henchmen into the remote and bitter cold......

"Taifu, this Ouyang asks for ambush, dare to ask who will be in charge of the household department?" Just as Liu Xing was making plans for the future, Zhao Ding rode a short horse to the carriage and interrupted Liu Xing's thoughts with a soft question.

Counselor of the Heavenly Council and Governor of the General Administration of Financial Management, Zhao Ding is now the money bag of the entire court of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was originally the head of the household. Now Ouyang Xun is isolated from the Northern Dynasty and Liu Xing. chose the path of self-destruction. He was actually very painful in his heart.

Because the two defected to Liu Xing with Ma Kuo at the beginning, they have an old friendship of more than ten years. Because the two are still in-laws, Zhao Ding's son only married Ouyang Xun's favorite third daughter last month.

So watching his father-in-law being killed, the pain in Zhao Ding's heart can be imagined. Seeing that his friend for many years was killed by Liu Xing in public, the pain in Zhao Ding's heart can be imagined.

However, Zhao Ding was not Ouyang Xun, Ouyang Xun deliberately avoided him and didn't dare to let him know when Anqi was plotting the East Gate Incident.

Because everyone knows that Zhao Ding is now the most credible person in Liu Xing's mind, Zhao Ding is also reciprocated and has absolute loyalty to Liu Xing.

There is a loyal Zhao Ding. Although he will feel painful for the killing of his father-in-law and the loss of his friends for many years, when everything comes to an end temporarily, the first thing he thinks about is the society, the court, and how to help Liu Xing better govern the government.

Of course, Liu Xing knew Zhao Ding's thoughts, and now he has the mind reading technique given by the fairy lock to determine it.

So when he came to ask, Liu Xing smiled indifferently and said: "The household department is originally your direct department, so I will wronged you and re-act the household department." After I find a suitable new candidate for you, I will let you control the overall situation without worry, do you think? ”

"Since the Taifu ordered, I naturally have the responsibility to re-sign the household department. It's just ......" Zhao Dingyi's expression was fleeting without hesitation, and he hesitated halfway through the sentence.

As if thinking for a moment, he quickly said, "It's just that the dragon coins are circulating now. There are many things to do. Many officials of all sizes in the household department will definitely be implicated in the Ouyang case this time, and will be arrested by the Kaifeng Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department. There will be a serious deficit in this man's hands. Dare to ask how Taifu is going to let me take charge of the hook? ”

As long as a chief official has been in charge for more than a year, a small group of bureaucrats will inevitably appear, that is, "small hills".

The formation of that kind of "small hill" is inevitable and inevitable. It is just to see whether that kind of "small hill" is formed, whether it will do more benefits or harm to the entire country and the entire society, whether it will work together for the well-being of all the people, or whether it will conspire to form a party for personal gain.

Ouyang Xun has already mastered the "small hill" Liu Xing in the household department, most of those people are honest officials, and they have always been bent on working together for the well-being of the people, so Liu Xing did not go to attack and suppress as if facing a great enemy like dealing with Hu Anguo.

But now that Ouyang Xun is making such a fuss, there will definitely be many people in the household department that he has been running for more than two years who have been single-handed, directly or indirectly involved in the Dongmen incident.

In fact, much of the information that the Military Intelligence Department had previously obtained was also obtained from some middle- and high-level officials in the Ministry of Households. Since the Military Intelligence Department was able to find out some of the inside information of this incident from those members of Ouyang Xun's "small hill" in advance, it was inevitable that the household officials would carry out a purge......

"Where is Yang Shi, Yang Shi?" Knowing in his heart, Zhao Ding was worried that the shortage of manpower was reasonable, so he immediately stopped the carriage, turned his head sideways and called out loudly to the back.

Yang Shi, who was sitting on the open sedan chair, heard Liu Xing's call, and immediately urged the two sedan chair drivers who carried the sedan chair to quickly come to the carriage.

"Mr. Yang, in the name of your ministry, issue a decree to inform the world. Three days later, the household department will hold an examination for the selection and promotion of subordinate officials. All officials in the provinces and state capitals who are currently engaged in the affairs of expenditure, money and grain can go to the provincial political departments to register for this selection. Those with excellent examination results will be selected and transferred to the household department, regardless of the previous position, and can only be appointed based on the present. Yang Shi's sedan chair stopped, and Liu Xing immediately issued a clear order to him.

Yang Shi nodded heavily when he heard this, but immediately hesitated and said: "Regardless of the previous position, if some state and county officials with no grades have outstanding results in the selection and promotion examination, do you also want to directly award him the position of Beijing official with a rank of nine or above, or even a higher title?" ”

also nodded heavily, Liu Xing said: "Yes, I don't care what rank he used to have, as long as he is really talented, this time he will be appointed on the basis of merit, and he will be promoted on the basis of merit." However, the premise is that I don't want to talk about the people on paper, and those who want to participate in this selection and promotion examination must have more than seven years of experience in the state and county, more than five years in the state government, and more than one year of experience in the provincial government to be eligible. ”

Meritocracy, appointing people on the basis of ability, but to have three to seven years of experience, Yang Shi immediately smiled after listening to Liu Xing's words: "Taifu is really an old man in the way of employing people, so he is not afraid that the household department will be mistreated by a group of people who can say and can't do in the future." Well, I will now go and issue this decree as you have commanded. ”

Yang Shiyan immediately urged the two palanquin drivers to speed up and rush to Dongzhi 1st Street, where the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials was located, before the brigade.

After Yang Shi walked away, Liu Xingcai looked sideways at Zhao Ding, and said with a strange and somewhat cold smile: "Three-legged toads are hard to find, and there are two people." Governor Zhao, now you don't have to worry about the lack of manpower and the dwarf of personnel after you re-instate the household department, right? (To be continued.) )
