Liu Hong and Zhang xingying squinted their eyes and looked over. They saw a young official in a green robe standing in front of Xu niannian, who was also wearing a green robe. He was angrily cursing and spitting.

Liu Hong’s eyes were not very good. After looking around for a long time, he asked,

“Who is that?”

“I’m Qian Mu,” Zhang xingying said with a smile.

Liu Hong laughed as well, ”

“Those hotheaded young men who wrote memorials to Sue the assistant Minister of the Ministry of official personnel for corruption and bribery, leading to the death of many officials from the Ministry of official personnel?

“It seems like he has been sitting on the cold bench for too long and his butt can’t stand the cold, so he came here to prove his loyalty.”

Zhang xingying shook his head,”to be someone’s gun.” In the short term, there will indeed be benefits, but in the long run, ha, if he enrages His Majesty, what good will he expect?”

Liu Hong smiled,”it’s not a big deal. Once you’ve pledged your loyalty and joined the Green Party, you can still be an official.” As long as he keeps a low profile in the future, will His Majesty still be able to keep an eye on him?”

On one side, they were talking and laughing, while on the other side, they were ready to fight.

Qian Mu pointed at Xu niannian and said, ”

“During the winter, the honest people in the court were short of rice and charcoal. Not everyone was like Xu Tanhua, who had a family of thousands of gold taels and a life of luxury.

“Three months” worth of salary, how are you going to let those colleagues who have nothing to do survive this winter?”

Without waiting for Xu niannian to speak, he sneered and said sarcastically, ”

“In order to please His Majesty, you actually came up with such an absurd plan. I’m from the same generation as you, and I also feel that I’ve lost face.”

The surrounding officials chimed in.

I’m doing this for the common people, ” Xu niannian said expressionlessly. I have a clear conscience.

“What a good” clear conscience “!”

Qian Mu laughed and said loudly,”I’m willing to give up all my property to fill the National Treasury and provide relief to the victims.” Xu Tanhua, since you have a clear conscience and are doing this for the common people, do you dare to donate all your family assets like I did?”

After he finished speaking, the crowd cheered, ”

“Lord Qian has noble character and unquestionable integrity.”

“Lord Qian, you’re a righteous man.”

Everyone looked at Xu niannian with mischievous eyes.

Xu niannian frowned. Qian MU’s words were shameless. The Xu family had a lot of shops, fertile land, and the chicken essence dividends left by his elder brother. What did Qian Mu have?

Although he was not penniless, after sitting on the cold bench for so long, he was afraid that his family only had a few buckets of rice and a few taels of silver.

However, he couldn’t argue with them because neither Qian Mu, the people behind him, or the officials around him could reason with him.

They were here to find trouble.

If he ignored her, he might be called a “hypocrite” again in the new year after the court session.

At this moment, chief advisor Wang walked over. He didn’t say anything, but just glanced at the officials around him coldly.

The officials immediately fell silent.

Qian Mu smiled. Regardless of whether Xu niannian responded or not, he had already conveyed what he wanted to express.

After that, there was no more movement, until the dawn came and the drums sounded.

The civil and military officials remained silent. They passed through the meridian Gate, crossed the Golden water Bridge, and lined up in order, according to their ranks.

Only a small group of people could enter the throne room.

Xu niannian, as one of the core figures of this storm, was also allowed to enter the hall, but he had to stand at the entrance of the hall.

After everyone entered the palace, Emperor Yongxing arrived a few minutes later.

He sat high on the Dragon Throne and looked down at the officials. He said loudly, ”

“The various places are suffering from serious disasters. As the Emperor of a country, I am very sad. Do you all have any good disaster relief strategies?”

The Dukes and nobles below showed expressions of “I knew this would happen” and made a few superficial suggestions, such as tax reduction and calling on the Squires to donate.

Emperor Yongxing said,

“Since we want to donate, the Imperial court and the beloved ministers should set an example. This way, the Squires will be willing and can also warn the officials to prevent them from embezzling.”

If they only called on the Squires to donate, most of the silver would be exploited.

The party leaders and nobles of several parties tacitly stepped out one after another and shouted “No.”

At this moment, the official of the Supreme Court appeared and said in a deep voice, ”

“Your Majesty, the atmosphere in the court is corrupt and corruption is prevalent, causing the National Treasury to be empty. Donating money can solve the symptoms but not the root cause. If we want to provide disaster relief, we must first clean up the bad influences.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the war-loving Minister of the Ministry of Revenue stepped out and said loudly, ”

“Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Han Lin Academy for accepting bribes to celebrate the new year.”

No one in the hall spoke, and no one questioned what kind of bribe the Shu ji shi of the Han Lin Academy could accept. It was as if they had long expected such a thing to happen.

The official from the Ministry of official personnel affairs stepped out and said loudly,

“Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Han Lin Academy for using chief advisor Wang’s name to accept bribes during the new year.”

Following that, the ministers of the six ministries stepped forward one after another to impeach Xu Xinian.

Those who were able to stand in the throne room were all experienced and immediately understood what tricks these people were playing.

This was their counterattack.

With Xu Erlang as the starting point, they would rebel against Emperor Yongxing and chief advisor Wang.

By doing so, it would not completely enrage Emperor Yongxing and chief advisor Wang, but it could also show his attitude and tell Emperor Yongxing that they wanted to kill his vanguards one by one.

At the same time, he tactfully warned chief advisor Wang that although the Royal faction was powerful, it had not reached the point where they could cover the sky with one hand. Moreover, there were also voices of disagreement in the Royal faction.

Did they receive gifts for the new year?

The answer was yes.

As the future son-in-law of chief advisor Wang, the members of the Royal party had given him many gifts. In the officialdom, only those who had received gifts were considered one of them.

He wanted to integrate into the Royal faction as a student of Yun Lu Academy, so he couldn’t be too aloof.

Although Xu Xinian had rejected many expensive gifts, this could not change the fact.

“In the government, it’s good to be clean and achieve nothing, and it’s easy to be used by political enemies when the wind and waves are at the forefront. Therefore, the core problem was that they did not have enough power.

the problem to be solved is to rope in more people.

Xu nianxin suddenly understood.

Among the officials in the hall, some were observing Emperor Yongxing’s expression while some were examining chief advisor Wang.

Let’s see how they’re going to deal with this.

If Emperor Yongxing protected Xu Xinian, they still had other plans. If chief advisor Wang appeared, they also had other plans, such as dragging him down and impeaching him together.

Right now, they were the ones who had the upper hand.

No one noticed that Liu Hong slowly stepped out of the ranks and bowed, ”

“Your Majesty, this subject feels that the words of the Minister of the Supreme Court are reasonable. The National Treasury is empty and the taxes are difficult to collect because of corruption, fraud, and bribery.

“Therefore, I request your Majesty to investigate the officials and rectify the atmosphere.”

Interesting … The officials and nobles in the hall all turned to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong was seen as Wei Yuan’s ” heir ” in the court and took over Wei Yuan’s team. After the new emperor took over, many people in the former Wei faction were demoted and their power was reduced by nearly 50%.

The empty positions were divided by the king’s party and other parties.

In officialdom, this was an appropriate concession.

Now that Liu Hong had stepped forward, it was obvious that the former Wei Gang, who controlled the Imperial Censorate and the night watchman, wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Emperor Yongxing laughed,”Minister Liu is right, continue.”

Liu Hong said in a clear voice,

“Since the death of Lord Wei, the Watchmen have declined. This subject’s ability is not even one-thousandth of Lord Wei’s, and my energy is lacking. He wanted to recommend a person to His Majesty to replace him in charge of the night watchman Yamen.

“With a better supervisor.”

Everyone was stunned. This wasn’t the line they had imagined. Liu Hong had actually given up his responsibility at this critical juncture and handed over the position of night watchman to someone else?

“Minister Liu, who do you want to recommend?” Emperor Yongxing pretended to be surprised.

Liu Hong glanced at the confused and wary officials and said in a clear voice, ”

“The previous night watchman, Yin Luo, Xu Qi ‘an!
