At the moment, the senior officials of emperor Di Qingli and the officials of emperor Xiaojie of Luoyang are sitting together in the front of the four official boats of the emperor's office.

In addition to the four of them, there is not even a servant for use in the whole room. Each of them occupies one side of the eight immortals table. Their hands either touch the edge of the steaming tea cup or gently tap on the table top. The atmosphere in the room is particularly heavy at this moment, giving people a sense of anxiety and depression.

From time to time, di Renjie either looked at Li Qiao or Yao Chong at Wang Xiaojie, the Minister of punishment. The four looked at each other, but in the dignified atmosphere, none of them was willing to take the lead in speaking.

They had already known what happened in Luoyang City during the day. Even as soon as they got the news, the four of them subconsciously watched Di Renjie's behavior. Wang Xiaojie, the Minister of punishment, was still keeping his mouth shut and his eyes were on Yao Chong, the official minister.

This incident can not only be solved by one official department in cooperation with his majesty. In view of the fact that the number of officials participating in the court hall has exceeded their imagination, coupled with those knights with great achievements, this time it is afraid that since his majesty ascended the throne, he has encountered something more dangerous than the disaster of the previous two years. If one is not handled properly, the whole court hall may be set up Or the Tang Dynasty is doomed.

Yao Chong, the Minister of the Ministry of government, looked at the three pairs of eyes that all remained on him. He sighed without opening his mouth, and then said in a relaxed manner: "the noble and noble family headed by the five surnamed and seven Wang families in this incident is too much. How can his Majesty not be angry if he forces his majesty so hard? Some of you who are sitting here must have some understanding of our Majesty's temperament. They always refuse to eat hard and soft, and even never care about people's evaluation of themselves. But that's why your majesty has been established as the crown prince and now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Over the years, however, he has put all his mind on the well-being of all the people in the world Any bad habits! Although Donggong was not frugal at that time, his majesty had never done anything that was not in great virtue since he was in charge of Hubu until he inherited Emperor Taizong's reign of Xiongwu Yingming. Even in those years when the emperor was in poor health, his majesty had always been strict in self-discipline and never indulged in extravagance and wantonness. Don't forget that he was the richest man in the world Man, I'm afraid there is no one else in the world who can compare with him? I'm afraid the money in the state treasury of Datang is not as much as that in Taiyi city? But did your majesty spend all this money on himself? Two years before the disaster, his majesty spared no effort to order Miss Bai to buy high-priced grain from the rich and powerful families in those places. Now, although there is not much money in the Treasury, his majesty has put the money into the state of the Tang Dynasty, without extravagance and waste of a cent. And The most important thing is that his Majesty's decision-making during the period of crown prince or eunuch, or after his accession to the throne, has there ever been a big deviation? Now the Tang Dynasty has been able to have such a powerful atmosphere, but his majesty has made great contributions. In contrast, the contributions made by the noble family headed by the five surnames and seven hopes to our country are just I think it is an insult to your majesty to compare them. Now they have gathered nearly 3000 people to speak out at the risk of death, whether it is for the sake of the stability of our country in the Tang Dynasty or for the interests of their own families. I think you all know it well... "

"Lord Di, Lord Li, and I mean, how can we, ministers, help your majesty through the present difficulties at this critical moment, and the possible misjudgment of your majesty by the people of the world. Your majesty has always been wise and well known to all the ministers in the court. However, the common people in the world are not all above the court hall. They can understand his Majesty's brilliant achievements as we do. Moreover, his majesty and the five surnames and seven Wangs did not deal with each other. Now we need to consider how to let these people throw dirty water on your majesty and pollute his sage. ”Wang Xiaojie, as the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, interrupted Yao Chong's words of flattery to Li Hong, and said some dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, Yao Chong was not angry. He took a sip of his tea cup and listened quietly to Wang Xiaojie's words. After the three people put their eyes on him again, he continued to say slowly: "the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers and the death of his ministers. In these years, whether you are Lord Di, or Lord Wang, you have followed your Majesty on expeditions, and you all know your majesty The temperament of. Now I just want to say that your majesty has always acted wisely and decisively, and has never made any mistakes in decision-making. Therefore, since we ministers want to share the worries and solve the difficulties for your majesty, we must not doubt the support of your Majesty in any decision-making. Your majesty is, not now... "

Yao Chong said that there was a slight pause here, looking at the calm expression on the three faces, and there was no fluctuation of dissatisfaction, he continued to say: "as a courtier, we can not doubt your Majesty's decision at all. On this basis, you all received your Majesty's instructions at the first time of the incident, so it is obvious that your majesty has followed your majesty thoroughly this time The five surnamed Qiwang, the leading powerful family, showcased their cards. Even if more than 500 officials from all over the Tang Dynasty officialdom were involved, his Majesty would resolutely ban the source of court officials headed by the five surnamed and seven Wang who recommended others to be officials. Therefore, I think that what we can do as ministers isYao Chong's eyes began to twinkle, his mouth with a trace of sneer, and his tone of voice also became fierce. He continued: "you are the right and left-handed men your majesty relies on in the court. You will not choose to plead for the noble family headed by the five surnames and seven hopes at this moment. So I will not conceal your next plan 。”

"Oh? Please tell me directly, so that we can also refer to one or two, so that we can share the worries and solve the difficulties for your majesty at this critical moment, so that we can fulfill our duties as ministers. " Li Qiao's eyelids jumped, his hand holding the teacup tightened, looking at some unfathomable, and with a trace of fierce and tough look of Yao Chong asked.

Yao Chong gave a smile, looked at the three people and said, "as the Minister of the Ministry of officials, what I can do for your majesty at this time is Looking up the assessment data of the civil service in the past years, we can find out whether these 500 odd officials were planning their own affairs in the first place, and they could do their duty when they were planning their positions. In this way, if we could find some people who only ate the Royal salary and the corpse, wouldn't it be possible for your majesty to reduce the risk of being stigmatized by others when making decisions to deal with these people? "

In the end, Yao Chong's face flashed with a smile of conspiracy. In a moment, the whole face in the eyes of the three people was like the face of a cunning and cunning old fox.

Di Renjie was the first to react. He stroked his beard and looked at Yao Chong's complacent smile. Just before Yao Chong said his plan, di Renjie had already thought about this in his mind. It was only because he did not run the government department. His understanding of these officials was relatively poor than that of Yao Chong. Therefore, when making decisions in this respect, he must be There will be a little hesitation in thought.

Now, seeing that Yao Chong, who is the head of the six books of history, took the lead in putting forward such a proposal, his heart suddenly became clear and relaxed.
