Chapter 565 Rectifying Nanshan Officialdom
Lin Su smiled faintly: "Master Li is obviously proficient in the law as the head of the store, Zuo Si. I would like to ask you a question. How does the Great Cang Official Regulations determine concubine congratulations?"

Li Yueran's face changed slightly.

Everyone's expressions also changed.

The official regulations of Dacang clearly stipulate that relatives and friends can congratulate those who get married.For those who take concubines, officials should not congratulate them by mistake.

What is congratulations for the wrong value?

It means: no congratulations during working hours!

I don't care if you go to other people's place to play all night after work, but during working hours, you are not allowed to congratulate other officials for taking concubines!The promulgation of this law is also a last resort. In this era, officials are allowed to take concubines, and some officials pay a lot of concubines, one a year, one a month.

If it’s time for concubines and everyone to have fun, hundreds of officials are in the same yamen, you take one and I take the other (in this bastard age, women are very cheap, you can buy one for a few taels of silver, officials don’t exist I can't afford it), so there is a wedding drink every day, and what kind of job is it?

Although the officials' regulations are there, the officialdom is not monolithic after all, just like the prohibition of alcohol in modern society, isn't there a special case that often happens?Therefore, when officials congratulate others on taking concubines, no one will go on the line, and they will laugh it off when they are overjoyed.

Today's matter is exactly like this. It is illegal for officials of Nanshan Mansion to attend Lu Wang's concubine banquet, but no one takes it seriously.

Li Yueran's face froze: "Although the official regulations are in front, King Lu Yang is a prince after all. He takes a concubine. If he doesn't go, it's not in accordance with the etiquette. The etiquette says..."

Lin Su raised his hand to interrupt him: "Master Li is very good at etiquette?"

Li Yueran said: "Don't dare... I just understand a little bit about etiquette..."

"Okay! Since you understand the etiquette, from today onwards, you can go to the ceremonial room and be the deacon of the fifth grade!" With Lin Su's hands together, the official seal of the magistrate in the palm of his hand was shining golden light. At the same time, the official seal in Li Yueran's arms moved Jumping up, from the five-rank official seal, the original word "Puchang" has become "Li", and the rank has changed from "Zuo Si" to a gray "Zhi"!
The whole court was shaken...

The majestic Fang Zuosi was directly wiped out, and entered into the bottom-level "deacon" of the officials-then he would no longer be called an official, but an official!
This is Lin Su's revenge!

When he came to Nanshan Mansion, the head shop, as the executive department to welcome the chief officer, was absent collectively. The officials already thought that Lin Su was unhappy, and might use tricks on the head shop, but they never expected that this method would be so serious Absolutely, the deputy chief of the Nanshan Mansion Shop, just push it to the end!
Li Yueran was shocked: "My lord, you..."

Lin Su raised his palm again: "Master Li, does this government have the right to adjust your errand?"

Li Yueran's face was covered with black lines, and he was speechless.

Lin Su has no right to change the rank of officials (the decision of the rank of officials is in the Ministry of Education), but he does not change the rank of officials.

As the lord of a mansion, Lin Su naturally has the right to adjust the jobs of his subordinates. Therefore, he directly adjusted the head of the shop, Zuo Si, to "executive". What is "executive"?Execution too!I retain your official position, but you are no longer the official who makes decisions, but the one who executes.

It is rare to be so decisive in officialdom.

Today's Nanshan, everyone has seen it!
Lin Su's eyes shifted to He Xingong: "Master He, remind me again!"

So the second government order was issued.

After this order was issued, the officials of Nanshan Mansion who attended King Luyang's banquet had another commotion, but Du Tiangao laughed: "Hehe, that little boy is in a hurry." There was only one sentence, and the official seal was put in his arms, and he ignored it again.

King Lu Yang toasted and officially opened the banquet.

The banquet was in full swing, and the disappointing government order came for the third time. The wording was already very strict, but all the officials raised their glasses and congratulated King Lu...

In Nanshan Mansion, the sun was setting, and more than a dozen people stood alone in the huge mansion hall, all feeling the breath of a storm coming.

Li Yueran is the only exception.

He stood at the outermost edge, his eyes no longer turned to Lin Su, what he looked at was the horizon.

Today you wipe my official, I dare not say anything in the mansion, but how many days can you sit in this mansion?When Lord Du comes back, you will know that Nanshan Mansion is not your decision at all!
The setting sun gradually sank to the top of the mountain.

The lanterns in Nanshan Mansion are just beginning to come on.

In the hall, more than a dozen people were still standing upright, and Lin Su was still waiting upright.

In the Zhifu's backyard, the girls also looked at each other in blank dismay.

The food and drink were ready, but the adults did not come down.

Yuan Ji could only act temporarily as the head of the magistrate's backyard, and gave instructions to all the girls: just wait.

She was also worried...

Although she is not a member of the officialdom, but now, she also feels the harshness of the officialdom, and she knows that the first battle at the opening of the door today must be played beautifully, otherwise, it will be difficult for him to move an inch in Nanshan Mansion.

It was completely dark!
Finally, at the gate of the city, the torches were lit, and a long dragon came slowly. It was the officials of Nanshan Mansion who were full of wine and food, and returned to the mansion.

A team of yamen servants led the way ahead, and a team of yamen servants followed behind. Forty or so officials in the middle walked towards the government office in unison, without any hurry.

When they reached the gate of the mansion, their footsteps quickened, led by Du Tiangao, and they entered the mansion at the same time.

Above the mansion hall, Lin Su raised his eyes and stared at the person in front, Du Tiangao, a powerful figure in Nanshan Mansion. How could the former magistrate Cao, who has experienced the fourth rank, be able to completely evade the fourth rank magistrate?
One is that he is a local, and he has been in business for decades in the officialdom.

Second, he is also the father-in-law of Cao Fang, the magistrate of Zhongzhou!
This father-in-law is very cheap, how cheap is it?It was done overnight. Four years ago, when Cao Fang was inspecting Nanshan, Du Tiangao invited him to his home and asked his daughter to wear only a little bit of clothing to toast Cao Fang. Where did it come out that Mr. Zhizhou is Mr. Du's father-in-law, Du Tiangao did not deny the rumors, so in the officialdom, he began to have both sides...

These are all the information collected by Anxiang.

Lin Su looked at the fat middle-aged man trotting over in front of him, but didn't react at all...

With a smile on Du Tiangao's face, he ran down the hall in a trotting manner: "My lord is here, the official is late, guilty and guilty..."

Lin Su raised his hand and interrupted on the spot: "You also know that you are guilty? Where is the crime?"

Du Tiangao and all the officials behind him were stunned. What Du Tiangao said just now was nothing more than officialdom. Do you still have to ask?
Lin Su word by word: "Du Tiangao, I ask you, what is your crime?"

As soon as his voice was raised, his power suddenly became overwhelming, and there was a buzzing in the courtroom.

Du Tiangao's complexion has changed: "Lord Lin, today's facts are special. King Luyang is happy to accept a concubine today. As a local parent official, he has to give the prince a face, that's why..."

Lin Su stood up slowly: "It's King Lu Yang's business to accept a concubine. An official congratulates him at the wrong time, which is a violation of the official regulations! The government has issued three government orders in a row, and you refuse to implement them. The provisions of Article 213, Paragraph 3 of the "Great Cang Official Regulations"! He Xingong!"

"Here!" He Xingong stepped forward.

"Record!" Lin Su said: "These 46 people in the audience violated the "Great Cang Official Regulations", and our government will seal their official seals in accordance with the regulations of the Official Regulations.

As soon as the voice fell, his prefect's official seal suddenly flew up, above the courtroom, there was a golden light, all the official seals of the 46 people in the audience changed at the same time, no matter you are the chief minister, the left secretary or the right secretary, and it doesn't matter if you are the prefect , It is still a county magistrate, on the official seal, there is a word "li", and all subsequent positions are "executive"!
He Xingong's whole body trembled violently.

He knew Lin Su well, and he knew that something big would happen today, but he still didn't expect it to be so big.

With just one sentence, the 46 powerful officials who stomped the entire Nanshan Prefecture were dismissed collectively, and none of them were left behind!
Including the most powerful in Nanshan Prefecture at present, even higher than Du Tian, ​​the invisible No. 1 Du Tian, ​​who is the best in the prefect!

In this way, the entire Nanshan Mansion has almost become an empty mansion!
The 46 people below were completely sober, looking at the gray "Zhi" character on their official seal, as if in a dream.

The seven county magistrates were completely dumbfounded. They were the heads of a county, officially appointed by the Ministry of Officials. How much money did they give to get the position of head of the county?How many people did you ask for?Just because of a drink, no?
Holding the official seal, Li Jiang, the chief criminal officer, shook his hands desperately: "My lord, I know my mistake!"

As soon as he said this, all the people in the audience woke up at the same time, and stepped forward one after another: "My lord, I know my mistake!"

Even a bunch of people knelt down.

A group of people who survived the disaster looked at each other in blank dismay.

Things have come to this point, it's a big showdown!

But that's how it is in the officialdom. A new official has to gain a lot of prestige when he takes office.In their minds, Lin Su accepted the meeting as soon as he met, and opened the door of his magistrate with the awe of the officials.

However, Lin Su is destined to be unexpected: "It's good to know the mistake! Go to the ceremony room!"

The cold words completely cut off everyone's hope.

All eyes turned to Du Tiangao.

Mr. Du, you have to be the master of the lower officials...

Holding the official seal, Du Tiangao twitched his eyebrows, and slowly raised his head: "Master Lin, do you really want to be so decisive?"

"What? Are you not convinced?" Lin Su said coldly: "I'm sorry, but you have to hold back if you don't agree! Nanshan Mansion, this mansion is the master!"

Du Tiangao rolled his eyes: "Little Lin Su, when you first came to Nanshan, you wanted to stand up? What are you?"

As soon as the words fell, the official seal in Lin Su's hand suddenly became golden, and came down from the sky with a bang, pressing Du Tiangao firmly to the ground...

"Those who insult the superior will receive thirty sticks!" Lin Su yelled, "Where is the arrest? Execution!"

Li Xinwei, the head catcher below, took a step forward: "Lord Lin, please calm down. Your lords missed the welcome ceremony today. It's really justifiable. Your lords all know that when you take office as a new official, you want to stand up. Please stay calm."

He Xingong's complexion changed drastically!
The magistrate ordered, but the arrest of the head refused!
Capturing the head represents the force system, and if the force system does not obey the official power, the problem will be serious.If it is above the court, it is called rebellion; if it is in the army, it is called mutiny; if it is in the court at this moment, it may be called political... coup d'etat!

When the contradiction reaches this stage, it is truly irreconcilable.

Moreover, the magistrate has come to this point, basically he can't go on, because it means that his authority is completely lost.

Lin Su stared at Li Xinwei: "The government ordered you to execute the sentence, and did not ask you to defend him."

Li Xinwei said: "Master Lin came to Nanshan for the first time and didn't know anything about the situation. I think it's better to listen to the opinions of the adults!"

"You're not going to execute me?" Lin Su's voice suddenly sank.

"Sir..."

Lin Su suddenly stepped in front of him, stretched out his hand, and took a magic staff from the person behind him...

"If you don't want to execute me, I will!"

He raised his hand suddenly...
