[Rebirth] The lord wants a minister to die

The news of Atole's merging into Wuhuyan was reported back to the court, and all the officials were amazed. They didn't expect Atole to be defeated by Wei Yuanhou in this way.

The emperor was overjoyed, and immediately gave Wei Yuanhou some rare antiques and rewarded him with a thousand gold. He also thought that Yongzhou had just experienced a food shortage last year, so the national tax that Yongzhou needs to pay this year was reduced.

When the decree was spread to Yongzhou, the people cheered and rushed to tell each other, and Wei Yuanhou's prestige grew day by day.

Ning Jin was not interested in gold, silver and jewellery, he only asked people to pick out antiques bestowed by the emperor.Because He Zhan likes it, he has learned a little bit over the years, picked and picked from the antiques, and finally settled on a bright jade glass cup, which was sent to Nangezi.

Holding the bright jade glass cup, He Zhan was at a loss.

The timeline of this world is a bit chaotic, and everything is much ahead of schedule.The appearance of this bright jade glass cup is really not a good sign.

This thing is indeed valuable, and it is indeed precious.It's good that He Zhan likes antiques, but he has never seen this thing before, and he doesn't know what it means until he entered the core of the court in his previous life, and he heard an allusion about Mingyu glass cups by chance.

This glass cup is an old thing left over from the previous dynasty, and it was originally owned by a prince.The ears of the glazed cup are in the shape of a dragon, and the dragon's claws have four toes, but this is a specification that only the emperor can have.It is precisely because of this cup that the princes were wiped out.

On the surface it is a reward, but rewarding such a thing is actually intimidating and deterring.

Qingping Palace's influence in the court is growing day by day. Ever since the number one scholar in civil and military affairs came out, Qingping Palace's reputation has been greatly shaken.Now that Marquis Wei Yuan is far away in Yongzhou, he can spread his reputation to the capital, so the emperor might not be able to sit still.

He invited Ning Jin here and told him about it in detail.Ning Jin picked up the glass cup and took a look, the dragon body on it did indeed have four toes.

Ning Jin was a little depressed.This thing, you can't keep it, you can't keep it; you can't drop it, you can't drop it.

He Zhan smiled, picked up the pen with great interest, and drew on the glass cup, but when closing the pen, his sleeve accidentally swept the glass cup, and the cup fell to the ground in an instant, and it fell to pieces as expected. .

"Oh!" He Zhan stroked his small mouth in surprise, "Fortunately, I drew the blueprint."

Ning Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle..."

He Zhan is still acting: "Don't let the emperor know that I broke the things he rewarded. I know a few skilled craftsmen, let them build another one according to the blueprint."

The dragon toe on the drawing has been drawn into three.

Ning Jin never noticed that He Zhan was still so listless, so he smiled and handed over the matter to He Zhan.

The appearance of the glass cup made He Zhan realize that he had to make some preparations.

Yongzhou Yu Changfeng was a chess piece that the emperor placed in Yongzhou to restrict Ning and Jin. To get rid of the threat, he had to be uprooted bit by bit.

He Zhan hired an opera troupe, paid a hundred gold, and asked them to compose a play, and went to various places in Yongzhou to sing for charity, and sang in the streets and alleys of Yongzhou.

The play is very simple——Meng Xiaonv fights against corrupt officials with her ingenuity and wit, letting the true colors of corrupt officials emerge to the world, and finally the corrupt officials are dismissed and investigated, and finally end up in a situation where both people and money are empty.

The opera troupe came out of Weiyuanhou's Mansion, first sang from Tianji Mansion City, then moved to Yongzhou City, and then went to major counties and towns, singing the image of Miss Yang to the hearts of the people, and walked in the streets and alleys , anyone can hum a sentence or two at random.

But opera is not only sung for the common people, but also for officials.

The theater troupe from Weiyuanhou's mansion sang such a song, and the local officials, large and small, knew what the Lord Hou meant, and they expected it to be the first sign of the rectification, and they were immediately frightened.

Many of them colluded with Yu Changfeng.Yu Changfeng has been in Yongzhou for many years, and he has not injected new power into the party system for such a long time.

As soon as this play came out, everyone was in danger, and immediately restrained a lot in this regard.

They have restrained themselves, and Yu Changfeng's pockets are also shriveled.

Yu Changfeng couldn't afford to call Yingying's singing girls to have fun anymore, and he couldn't afford to eat and drink with delicacies every day. There were seven concubines and a dozen children in his house, and he watched his family's wealth go up and down. Hollowed out, but there's nothing you can do about it.In just one month, the Yu family, who was strong on the outside and capable on the inside, could hardly hold on.

He Zhan asked the opera troupe to finish singing this song, and then Wei Yuanhou began to send people to investigate the officials' residences, and dismissed corrupt officials one by one and sent them to prison.After the official position was vacant, He Zhan was personally responsible for promoting new candidates. The fight against corruption was a political shake-up, and all of them were replaced by Wei Yuanhou's people. The methods were vigorous and vigorous, and the entire Yongzhou was flustered.

In this way, it can be regarded as directly cutting off Yu Changfeng's source of income.

A group of women, children and children came to Changfeng's mansion to cry and let Yu Changfeng rescue his master who was arrested.Yu Changfeng took pains to send these people away, accumulating anger, and summoned several counselors to discuss policies.

In the end, a counselor came up with an idea to Yu Changfeng, asking him to make good use of the troupe invited by He Zhan.

It gradually spread in the market that He Zhan spent hundreds of dollars to invite an opera troupe to sing an opera. Some people followed the trend and revealed all the extravagant and lustful things about He Zhan in his daily life. It spreads in the market.

How can there be so much money for a mere fourth-rank envoy?The common people only need to move their toes and take it for granted, isn't this the people's fat and the people's ointment?

All kinds of rumors flew up and spread throughout Tianji Prefecture.

These words also reached He Zhan's ears. He Zhan smiled wryly, and ignored them as if he was blind and deaf.

However, He Zhan can sit still, but the sages in the recruiting hall cannot sit still.

Wei Yuanhou wants to suppress corrupt officials and clean up the political scene, which is a first-class good thing.Who wouldn't think that the most greedy tiger is the one under Wei Yuanhou's nose. If He Zhan is not punished, how can Wei Yuanhou's anti-corruption policy convince everyone?

"Master He is Lord Hou's uncle. The common people scolded Mr. He, but they were clearly referring to Mr. Sang and Huai. Mr. He was indifferent to this and maintained his own style. What is his intention to shake people's hearts like this!" said the sage Li. He was impassioned, describing He Zhan's extravagance in the mansion one by one, wishing to list the ten crimes on the list, and repeatedly told Ning Jin to be careful of this person.

Zhao Tingxun was almost sleepy when he heard this, and he was dragged to the recruiting hall by this group of people early in the morning, and all morning he was talking about impeaching He Zhan.

Zhao Tingxun's butt hurts from sitting on the chair, and he just sighed: "In this way, if the matter of the thirteen concubines in Li Xianshi's family is criticized by others, it must be blamed on Lord Hou, and the people will scold him. Where is Li Xianshi, you are licentious? You are clearly scolding Lord Hou for licentiousness."

"Zhao Tingxun, you! Don't make trouble!"

Once the two argued, the rest of the people also started arguing with each other.

Ning Jin rested his chin in a lack of interest, and glanced at the door absently, just in time to see He Zhan passing by the door of the recruiting hall with a pot of little Menglan in his arms.He Zhan didn't even look in, and walked over, but Ning Jin called out: "Third Uncle!"

He Zhan stopped, stepped back and took a look inside, saw Ning Jin waving at him, so he walked in with the orchid in his arms.

He Zhan looked around and asked, "What are you doing? Isn't it Xiumu today? The sages are still here for a meeting?"

A group of people fell silent immediately.

Ning Jin rolled his eyes on the little orchid, and said, "Third Uncle is going to buy flowers again?"

He Zhan said: "The orchid brought by someone from the north is growing well this time, and it should survive. I am going to prune it."

"Let's go with Gu." Ning Jin got up and walked to He Zhan's side, "That's all for today."

He Zhan was still in a daze, but Ning Jin pushed him out of the talent recruitment hall, leaving behind the sages with dazed faces.

Zhao Tingxun straightened his long gown and got up, leisurely followed him, and went back to sleep again to refresh his spirit.The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay. Although Lord Hou didn't say anything, his deeds showed that he believed in He Zhan and would not dismiss him because of rumors.

Ning Jin was afraid that He Zhan would be troubled, so he took the flower pot in He Zhan's hand and hugged it in his arms, and told He Zhan what those people said sullenly.

He Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My lord, why have you learned how to make small reports?"

"My heart hurts, I hate that I didn't come earlier to let my uncle live a good life. Now my uncle can finally catch his breath, but he still has to be criticized by those people."

He Zhan asked: "It's just such a small matter, why are you so distressed?"

Ning Jin frowned: "If you are lonely, why don't you just scold Gu?"

He Zhan couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling that Ning Jin's foul was a bit too much.

"This is a disaster caused by my minister. I will solve it myself. My lord, don't worry."

Ning Jin hugged the little orchid, stopped to think for a while, but was still very worried.

He Zhan worked unhurriedly for a few days, and submitted a document to Ning Jin. The general content was that He Zhan would go to the grassroots to inspect the local officials as an inspector.

Since the rumors started from the folks, He Zhan should go to the folks to let them see the real Mr. He.

Ning Jin was not very happy: "There are so many counties and towns in Yongzhou, it will take two months to inspect them."

"I have to go."

Where do I have to go?He Zhan really wants to go out and let the wind go!

He was suffocating all day long in Wei Yuanhou's mansion, and he was about to get sick. This day, he never left the door without leaving the door, and he had to indulge Ning Jin at night. He Zhan felt that he was short of a dog around his neck. chain up.

He Zhan insisted that Ning Jin also knew that he couldn't hold him back, so he had to approve the document and let him be the inspector to be responsible for inspection work in various counties and towns.

As soon as autumn came, Ning Jin started to prepare for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky, and chanted scriptures in the pagoda for several days. It took a full month from the preparation to the end of the complicated ceremony.

a month...

There's still a month to go...

From time to time, he could receive news from the shadow guard——

The adults went to the fields to fly kites with the children;

The adult inspected the water conservancy, and the violent waves swept half of his head;

The adult hugged the old man who was basking in the sun at the entrance of the village, and the old man boasted that he had grown up neatly; the magistrate Zhang of Shuihuang County was about to be assassinated, but the adult was injured. His home; but my lord, please tell Hou Ye not to worry, he was injured on purpose...

Ning Jin's hand holding the letter paper trembled, the words were as heavy as iron, and he couldn't breathe under the pressure.

...

He almost hated Changfeng to death.
