At the court meeting, the Shoufu Pavilion and the Imperial Division were already in contention, but Xiao Yu and Li Qianlong, the two bigwigs, did not speak.

At this time, they are all observing, they are all tempting.

At present, the focus of controversy is naturally whether these arrested officials really violated the law, and the Shoufu Pavilion must be tough this time, otherwise this opening will really be opened, and the authority of the Imperial Division will be established at once, and in the future, who will dare to disobey the orders of the Imperial Division?

What's more, the first auxiliary pavilion has consciously taken advantage of this matter, and the imperial secretary is doing this, it is simply creating something out of nothing, and he is engaging in a literary prison, even if it is for justice, it will definitely not allow the imperial secretary to reverse right and wrong and cause chaos to the dynasty.

Many immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion are righteous and strict, with a posture of never giving in and refuting sternly.

There are characters like Jiang Boji on the Imperial Division's side, and the strong words are also very powerful, and the words are also quite sharp.

On the side of the Shoufu Pavilion, Yang Zhenqing frowned, and whispered, "Master Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Yu was next to him, and this was naturally said to him, and Xiao Yu's lips moved slightly: "Master Yang, the emperor's move has another deep meaning." ”

Yang Zhenqing was stunned.

To tell the truth, Yang Zhenqing belongs to the kind of person who is very conceited, he has his own standards and bottom line, just like this time, he is also dissatisfied with the emperor, and knows that the imperial system is very troublesome, so even if he and Xiao Yu are opponents, they will join forces with the outside world, after all, this is an ideological battle, and it is related to the future luck of the Holy Dynasty, and personal gains and losses can be ignored.

But for the new emperor Li Qianlong who boarded the plane, Yang Zhenqing was still very disdainful, in Yang Zhenqing's opinion, the other party was a shit luck, he carefully analyzed, if there was no Holy Ancestor's edict, then Li Qianlong would never have become the emperor.

Therefore, the root of everything is in the edict of the Holy Ancestor.

Even when Li Qianlong ascended the throne, Yang Zhenqing felt that this was only temporary, and in the end, the other party would still lose to the Shoufu Pavilion.

But listening to Xiao Yu's meaning, this Li Qianlong is not an ordinary person, and Xiao Yu seems to be very jealous of him.

"What deep meaning can he have, doesn't he want to establish prestige, establish the so-called imperial power and humility, and make everyone afraid of him and listen to him, but to be honest, the method used by the emperor is not clever, and it can even be said to be quite clumsy, who will obey him if he uses this method to deter his subordinates?" Yang Zhenqing expressed his opinion.

Xiao Yu shook his head this time: " That's just what he wants others to see, Master Yang, this time our opponent is definitely not trivial, think about it carefully, everyone thinks that the reason why they can't stop the imperial system is because of the Holy Ancestor's edict, but if the edict is not in that way, that kind of timing, even if he has this edict in his hand, it is absolutely impossible to be the emperor, the Shoufu Pavilion will not allow it, even if it is the real Saint Ancestor's edict, it will make it disappear before revealing its might, to put it simply, the Holy Ancestor's edict appeared too coincidentally, and Li Qianlong has obviously been prepared for a long time, after all, the entire imperial family, let all the royal families submit to him and promote him, this is not something that can be done in a year or two。 ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Zhenqing's pupils shrank this time, he was not stupid, Xiao Yu reminded him like this, and Yang Zhenqing also figured out a lot of doubts.

"The discovery of the Holy Ancestor's edict was arranged a long time ago. Xiao Yu simply said directly.

Yang Zhenqing's eyes were thoughtful, and his voice was lowered a few degrees: "Master Xiao, if this is the case, then the person who repaired the painting will be the most suspicious." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head again: "I also suspected this, I secretly checked it a few days ago, and found that it is unlikely that the person who repaired the painting will have a problem, first of all, Chu Xian, he has been against you for many years, he is considered an opponent, and the opponent is the one who knows the opponent best, dare to ask Yang Taishi, do you think Chu Xian will be the kind of person who colludes with Li Qianlong?"

Yang Zhenqing said without thinking this time: "No, although Chu Xian is a bastard, he is not that kind of person, and with his strategy and observation, it is impossible for the other four painting saints to make a ghost under his nose." ”

"Yes, because that is too risky, in the same way, Li Qianlong must also take this into account, so he will make a ghost in this seemingly impossible situation, let me ask, how can the person who can do this be an ordinary person?" After Xiao Yu finished speaking, Yang Zhenqing suddenly realized, and his expression became serious at the moment.

"There is one more thing, Taishi Yang, you didn't know before, Taishi still remember the death of Prince De of Liangzhou back then?" Xiao Yu said.

Yang Zhenqing nodded: "This incident is said to the outside world that Prince De was sick and died violently, but in fact, he was assassinated." ”

"Yes, at that time, Chu Xian was sent to investigate, you also know this matter, and later Chu Xian took the opportunity to do the Liangzhou Assassin History, and at that time, he had already investigated the matter clearly, and it can be determined that the person behind the scenes was someone in the Imperial City of Jingzhou, and the Dao Immortal Killer sent by the other party, I personally interrogated it, and the other party would rather die than recruit, although he didn't say anything, but I knew that if there was no accident, the mastermind behind the scenes was Li Qianlong. ”

Yang Zhenqing understood this time, why Xiao Yu was so jealous of Li Qianlong, the emperor, back then, the other party could do so many things in secret without revealing the slightest trick, just this strategy and calculation is rare in the world.

Then it is not surprising that Xiao Yu's worries are not surprising, if Li Qianlong, who has such a city government, really uses the clumsy trick of the literary prison to establish authority, it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The other party definitely has a deep meaning.

At this moment, Li Qianlong, who was sitting in the highest position, snorted coldly, at that moment, the two groups of people who were arguing in the court were quiet, and everyone knew that the emperor was going to speak.

Not to mention, after these rounds of rounds, even the immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion have some understanding of the power of this new emperor, and the other party snorted coldly, even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they could only listen quietly.

Li Qianlong spoke.

"Since we have to make rules, of course, we must restrain the words and deeds of officials, where can they talk nonsense? But you don't need to worry too much, the emperor is merciful, even if the officials are disrespectful to the emperor, the emperor will not treat them well, but the premise is that there is no disrespect to the Holy Ancestor, the Holy Ancestor Emperor, that is not allowed to be blasphemed, you must remember this, whoever dares to offend, will not be spared. In addition, this time the Imperial Division has indeed gone too far, and the emperor just asked you to restrain the officials below, not to let you arrest people indiscriminately. ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers of the imperial department all knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes, and the other officials were dumbfounded, unable to figure out which one the emperor was going to sing.

Isn't this a joke, who doesn't know that the Imperial Secretary is a dog of your emperor, and if you don't let it go, they dare to bite people.

But whether it's true or not, after this sentence, he seems to have become a Ming Jun, a monarch who can take the initiative to admit his mistakes.

At this time, Li Qianlong changed his words: "Although the Imperial Department is a little reckless, but these officials who have problems do have some problems, as the so-called flies do not bite seamless eggs, and the body is not afraid of shadows, there are still problems, of course, there may be some places that are inappropriate, but it is still necessary to check, if it is really not at fault, there is no need to worry at all, if there is a problem, there will definitely be no fish that slip through the net." ”

This sentence is the same as not saying it, that is, this matter may be reckless, but I'm sorry, the matter has come to this, so I can only do it first.

And in the next sentence, Li Qianlong said: "What the emperor is worried about is that so many officials are in important positions, and this review will not be over in a day or two, who will handle their official duties?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a minister from the Imperial Department stepped forward and presented a roster: "Your Majesty, the old minister has already had a way to deal with it, this list is a list of officials who have been in the office for a long time, and everyone can correspond to the missing official position, of course, it is only an expedient measure, and they are all given substitute positions, and they can be replaced in the future." ”

After saying this, many officials gasped.

On the side of the Shoufu Pavilion, he was also dumbfounded, and Yang Zhenqing gritted his teeth: "It turns out that this is the true purpose of the emperor." It's bad, although these official positions are distributed in Jingzhou and various prefectures, but if you look closely, they are all important positions, and replacing hundreds of officials in this way is equivalent to allowing the emperor to control half of the lifeblood of the prefectures, and the official positions of some important departments in Jingzhou are also among them. ”

After speaking, Yang Zhenqing turned his head to look at Xiao Yu, this matter must not allow the emperor to succeed, otherwise, the other party will take away so many official positions at once, and it will be too big a blow to the Shoufu Pavilion.

And in this way, the power of the emperor and the imperial secretary will be further expanded, and before it may only be in Jingzhou, in this court, but in the future, many government decrees are afraid that it will be difficult to pass through the first auxiliary cabinet and be disposed of directly on the imperial secretary's side.

Therefore, the Shoufu Pavilion must fight back.

Naturally, it is the official department who bears the heavy responsibility.

As the department of the Holy Dynasty to manage all officials, the Ministry of Officials definitely has the right to speak in this matter, and the Ministry of Officials Shangshu came out at this moment and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not in accordance with the rules. ”

On the side of the Imperial Division, Jiang Boji sneered: "Why don't you follow the rules?"

The official department Shangshu said in his heart, I can't say you Jiang Boji, and he said at the moment: "There is a detailed system for appointing officials in the Holy Dynasty, involving promotion, assessment, self-recommendation, and appointment, and each of them must be considered in detail. ”

"Joke, how do you know that the officials we elected are child's play, if you want to consider it, I'll show you. After Jiang Boji finished speaking, he actually ordered someone to take all the assessment records of the officials they elected this time, and at a simple glance, he knew that this was not something that could be prepared in a short period of time, and these considerations obviously met the requirements, and even quite detailed.

The official Shangshu was obviously dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the other party actually dug a pit and waited for him to jump, he originally wanted to embarrass the other party by considering the official procedure, but he didn't expect that the other party would have been ready to recruit a later.
