The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 878
"Old man?"

On the recliner in the study, Xie Xiaofang was taking a nap, and the voice of the official who called him was very low.

"Ok!"

Xie Xiaofang responded, and then opened his eyes.

I saw that he was haggard, and his whole body was full of fatigue. I think he was very tired during this time.

On the small square table next to the reclining chair, there were newspapers piled up very high, apparently Xie Xiaofang hadn't finished reading them yet.

"What's the matter?" Xie Xiaofang's voice was hoarse.

"Master Ge, the adults are here, look..."

After a few moments of silence, Xie Xiaofang said: "Understood, I'll go there right away!"

"Yes!"

After the official left, Xie Xiaofang slowly sat up from the reclining chair, then rubbed his forehead.

After a short rest for a few seconds, he got up from the recliner, straightened his sleeves, and walked out of the room.

When he came to the front meeting hall, Xie Xiaofang heard the conversation inside, the main content was to discuss the latest policy of the imperial court.

When they saw Xie Xiaofang appearing at the door, the four people in the room stopped, and then got up one by one to greet them.

"Meet the old man!"

Xie Xiaofang showed a ray of smile, indicating that the few people don't need to be formal, and walked into the meeting hall at the same time.

After coming to the main seat and taking a seat, Xie Xiaofang pointed to the chairs and signaled everyone in the hall to sit down.

One of them said with a worried face: "Master Ge, you have to pay attention to your body, the emperor still depends on you to raise the world, you can't get tired first!"

"Yes, Mr. Ge, you should pay more attention..."

Hearing the students' concern, Xie Xiaofang smiled helplessly.

He wanted to rest, but if he didn't finish the errands in hand, how could he rest peacefully.

The emperor reneged on his word and became fat. As a subject, what else could he do other than obey orders?
Signaling everyone to stop, Xie Xiaofang asked calmly: "I called you to Jiangxi County, do you know why?"

After several people looked at each other in blank dismay, they heard one person say: "Could it be... for the investigation of the fields?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked at Xie Xiaofang, wanting to get confirmation from him.

Officials avoided the task of checking the fields at first, fearing that they would offend others, which would lead to the premature death of their official career.

But now, Zhao Yanxun's throne is as stable as Mount Tai, and all those who stand in the way have been killed, and there is no resistance to checking the fields.

In other words, being able to take on this errand now is a great opportunity to get closer to the emperor and to brush up his resume.

So the few people in the hall were a little excited at the moment, accompanied by some panic.

Excitement is easy to understand. The reason why they feel panic is because this job is difficult, and it will be a great trouble if it goes wrong.

"The investigation of the fields and acres in the five counties in the south, the emperor handed over all to this old man..."

At this time, someone immediately offered flattery: "It can be seen that Mr. Ge handles affairs properly and has won the trust of the emperor!"

Xie Xiaofang smiled, and then said: "This errand is easy to handle. I am also old now, and my energy is always limited, so I brought you here!"

"Although I have many disciples, I can trust you guys to do things reliably..."

As a cabinet minister, his disciples and old officials are all over the world, that's really no joke.

Except for Jiangxi County, in the other four counties in the south, he selected people he could trust.

"The decree to check the land and acres has been distributed to all counties, and it has been implemented by the governors and governors of various places..."

Xie Xiaofang spoke, and everyone listened carefully.

"It's just how the implementation is progressing, and what's the actual inside story? You can't listen to their one-sided words. I have to send someone to watch for me!"

After hearing these words, everyone present was a little disappointed.

Xie Xiaofang only asked them to supervise, not to let them preside over the investigation of the fields, and there was a big gap between them.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually quite normal. After all, checking the land is a big event, and it has to be presided over by the governors of various places.

And among them, the biggest one is only the chief envoy to participate in politics, and he is not qualified to challenge these courageously.

Picking up the teacup, Xie Xiaofang said slowly: "I intend to recommend you to the emperor to serve as full-time inspector censors, what do you think?"

Although he can't preside over the field survey, it is of course a great thing if he can participate in this important event.

After a few breaths of silence, one of them said: "I would like to listen to the arrangement of the master!"

Several other people also expressed their opinions one after another, expressing their willingness to obey Xie Xiaofang's arrangement.

Next, Xie Xiaofang began to arrange tasks for these people, especially strict requirements for field visits.

Officials pocketed their own pockets, and gentry deceived others, all of which can only be discovered with care.

In fact, Xie Xiaofang appointed students not only to think that they are trustworthy, but also to support the younger generation.

There are too few people in the court, even if he becomes an official in the future, Xie Xiaofang still feels uneasy.

Everyone stayed in the room and discussed for more than half an hour.

Except for Xie Xiaofang who was talking in the early stage, it was mostly a few young officials who were talking later.

Everyone brainstormed, coupled with the fact that teachers and students were not so restrained, a lot of good ideas came out instead.

In the end, Xie Xiaofang was in a good mood when he heard it, and felt that the job was much easier.

Just when everyone in the hall was talking about sex, Hu Lizhen came over.

"Elder Ge, I have something to report in my humble position!"

In Jiangxi County's field investigation, Hu Lizhen was the inspector censor appointed by the imperial court. Xie Xiaofang wanted to appoint the four people who were summoned from the hall to the same position.

"What's the matter?"

"Lin Quan trampled on the law, judged cases indiscriminately, and disregarded human lives..."

Hu Lizhen went to Xie Xiaofang's place after getting frustrated with Lin Quan, hoping that the cabinet minister would intervene.

Upon hearing about this household, Xie Xiaofang quickly said: "I'll talk about this later, the old man still has some things to forget!"

Hu Lizhen said, "Master Ge, human life is at stake, how can we wait?"

Xie Xiaofang was very helpless, he knew Hu Lizhen's character, he couldn't avoid this matter today.

Looking at several students, Xie Xiaofang said in a deep voice: "Go down and rest first, think carefully if there is anything missing, we will talk in the afternoon!"

Sensing that it was inconvenient to stay here, several officials immediately stood up and left, leaving Xie and Hu in the meeting hall.

Picking up the teacup, Xie Xiaofang said calmly: "I've heard what you said!"

"But now each has a division of labor, the emperor asked Lin Quan to be in charge of handling the case, and he has full power to deal with it...how can we interfere without authorization?"

"Those gentry plotted a rebellion and killed many people. Someone should deal with them severely!"

Hearing Xie Xiaofang's words, Hu Lizhen's mood became even worse.

"Elder Ge, Lin Quan is not judging a case, but trampling on the law and disregarding human life. As court officials, how can you just sit back and watch?"

Putting down the teacup, Xie Xiaofang looked at Hu Lizhen and said, "Take care? Then Lin Quan has an imperial decree, how do you say to take care of it?"

Hu Lizhen said: "Ge Lao can report to the emperor and point out Lin Quan's evil deeds, and the emperor will definitely make a clear decision!"

Hearing these words, Xie Xiaofang was stunned for a moment.

Looking at Hu Lizhen, Xie Xiaofang really couldn't figure out whether this guy was smart or stupid.

The current emperor is extremely intelligent, but he doesn't know what kind of person Lin Quan is?Sending him over to do business is to overcorrect, and to severely deter the gentry from other counties.

On the other hand, under Zhao Yanxun, who is so mean, ungrateful, cruel and cruel, would Lin Quan still dare to find trouble for himself?It’s not just about obeying God’s orders.

Xie Xiaofang sighed, he knew these truths, and he believed that Hu Lizhen could also understand, but Hu Lizhen didn't want to let it go.

"Hu Yushi, the emperor asked you to come to Jiangxi County to inspect the fields and declare. You shouldn't be too lenient... This is not good!" Xie Xiaofang said calmly.

Seeing that Xie Xiaofang was still calm, Hu Lizhen knew that he had come in vain.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Xiaofang said: "Everything, the emperor has his own clear decision!"

In the last sentence, Xie Xiaofang felt that he was benevolent and righteous, and the reminder was obvious enough.

"Elder Ge, if you don't want to uphold justice, you can do it yourself in a humble position!"
