Shen Zhichen's sword pulling and suicide also surprised everyone present, with a look of horror on his face.
Tang Yin took a deep breath and calmed his mood. Then he flushed his eyes and bit his teeth, "Today, who among you can take the initiative to return to his hometown? I can write off the mistakes and responsibilities I have committed in the past and let bygones be bygones. If someone is still greedy for his official position, then no matter who, as long as there are criminal evidence here, I will severely punish him!" While talking, Tang Yin knocked the wooden box on the desk and table.
"The king is as kind as a mountain to his ministers. Since the king has spoken today, my ministers are willing to return home and give way to a virtuous man!" Xu Bai and Hou yuan were talking. Their faces were full of sadness. They both came out and knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin frowned secretly. In his impression, the intelligence collected by the shadow had no criminal evidence involving them.
But at this time, he can't keep them. Now if he shows a little reluctance to give up, he will be regarded by others as his attitude is not firm. If he really wants to make all the criminal evidence public, I don't know how many former brothers he wants to kill!
His fist under the table was clenched tightly. Finally, he crossed his heart and said in a frozen voice, "sure!"
"Minister... Thank the king!" Xu Bai and Hou yuan, with trills and tears streaming down their faces, sobbed and said: "in the future, Wei Chen can no longer help the king. I hope the king will take good care of his body..."
This sentence made Tang Yin's tears fall down again. He bowed his head and said softly, "I know, you... Take care, too!"
Shen Zhichen committed suicide, Xu Bai and Hou yuan took the initiative to return to their hometown. They are the closest and most trusted people in Tang Yin. At a time when their lives are at stake, where do other county heads and county captains dare to greedy for their immediate career, they left one after another, knelt down in front of Tang Yin and said in unison: "ministers and others are useless, and would like to give way to virtuous talents!"
Tang Yin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up, looked around at the people present, nodded, cheered up, and said loudly, "I'm very pleased that you brothers are willing to make way for me. In that sentence, you are all my brothers. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me for help. As long as I can help, I will never sit idly by."
After a pause, he turned his head to Cai GUI and said, "Xuan!"
Cai GUI bowed and said yes. Then he took out a thick volume from his cuff, cleared his throat and unfolded it, Sing loudly: "Fengdi, Tianyuan County, the former head of the county, Li Xian, gives up the post of county head, Ren Feng takes over the post of county head, Zhou Le gives up the post of county head, and Yu Dian takes over the post of county head; under Tianyuan County, Shi Qing takes over the post of county head of Pingyuan County, Jia Peng takes over the post of county captain, Jiang Xin takes over the post of county head of Sanshui County, Tan Shuang takes over the post of county captain, Chifeng County..."
He was first read out by Tianyuan County of Fengdi. After that, he began to read out eighteen counties of Ningdi, followed by modi and Huandi, fifty-six counties and 155 counties of Fengguo. Most of the officials were involved.
No one expected that Tang Yin would set up a Hongmen banquet tonight. He had long planned to remove these officials present, and even the candidates for connection have been found.
Not to mention the local officials present, even the ministers of Shangguan Yuanji, Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe were shocked. It's too big to replace nearly 100 County heads and captains and more than 200 County heads and captains at once. The most incredible thing is that the king hasn't announced such a big thing in the court, let alone discussed with the ministers.
It took Cai GUI more than half an hour just to read out the intention of the official's appointment. When he finished singing, a layer of virtual sweat appeared on his forehead and his voice became hoarse. He handed the book to Tang Yin and bowed down and said, "king!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin answered, took the book, didn't look at it, directly handed it over to Qiu Zhen and said, "let's have a look. These new officials are carefully selected by the political participation hall and the military administration hall. Let's see if there is anything wrong."
Political participation hall and military administration hall?! Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were surprised again. No wonder the king didn't discuss the matter in the court. It turned out that there was a conspiracy behind the scenes by the political participation hall and the military administration hall.
Thinking of this, people naturally looked at Cai GUI, the new chief counselor of the political hall, and Gu Yuan, the chief counselor of the military and political hall.
These two are low-key people who don't show mountains and dew on weekdays. They didn't expect to be so cruel in doing things. They only helped the king plan such a big thing. The ministers looked at each other and couldn't tell what it was like.
In fact, Tang Yin's reuse of the political participation hall and the military administration hall also has his purpose. Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen are both old people. The current local officials are their old subordinates and brothers. If they discuss this matter with him, they may leak the news.
Another point is that Tang Yin doesn't trust the candidates recommended by him.
The political participation hall and the military administration hall are different. Both of them are independent institutions outside the court hall and have little contact with officials of all sizes. It is precisely because of this that there can be no worries in selecting people and will not bring personal feelings into them, which is more fair and objective.
This evening, Tang Yin did an earth shaking event. It is enough to describe the replacement of so many local officials at once.
He was also very satisfied with the result. Of course, Shen Zhichen's suicide was an accident, which made him feel worried and sad.
After the banquet, Tang Yin didn't go back to his bedroom, but went directly to the study. He knew that Qiu Zhen and Yuan guitars would come to see him later.
Not long after he entered the study, a man came in from the outside. It was Yin LAN who had been sent to Huaqiao earlier.
Now, Yin LAN has officially joined the shadow. Because of her special identity, she can enter and leave the palace freely. Even when she comes to see Tang Yin, she doesn't need a-san-a-si to report. On the contrary, they have to avoid it as much as possible.
"My subordinates, please see the king!" Yin LAN walked up to Tang Yin and bowed respectfully.
Seeing her, Tang Yin pressed down her sad and excited mood, smiled, waved and said, "don't be polite, sit down!"
"Thank you, king!"
"You did a good job in Huaqiao this time. Find out the red sandalwood ancestral hall of Zhao Yuting's family and make him unable to argue in full view of the public. It's very good."
Tang Yin praised: "in the future, like Mu Cheng, you can help Gu Chen do things together. Gu Chen also needs talents like you."
Yin LAN couldn't restrain her joy when she heard the speech. She quickly bowed down and said, "thank you, my subordinates."
Originally, at the beginning, she admired Liu Zhang very much. They could go to war with the army and make achievements. However, since she joined the shadow, she finally realized that the shadow was terrible and huge.
Take tonight as an example. The criminal evidence of officials around the world is basically collected by the shadow personnel. Yin LAN feels interesting and honored to work in such an unknown and large-scale spy agency. Moreover, according to the king, she can sit on the same level with Gao Mu Cheng, which is equivalent to the vice president of the shadow.
Tang Yin looked at Yin LAN with an excited face, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Gu Chen is ready to start training the third batch of newcomers. You can also go together, that is, you can learn more, know more about the shadow, or get more familiar with the brothers below, so that it will be more convenient to do things in the future."
"Yes! Your majesty! My subordinates will go to see Lord Gu tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
As he was talking, with a knock on the door, ah San came in from the outside and said with an arched hand: "Your Majesty, the prime minister, Qiu Xiang, Lord Zhang and other ministers asked to see your majesty!"
Sure enough. Tang yinzao was not surprised even if he was sure they were coming. He nodded and said, "let them all come in!"
"Yes! King!" Ah San promised, turned and walked out.
Yin Lan said anxiously, "Your Majesty, do your subordinates want to avoid it?"
Don't you run into someone right now? Tang Yin looked her up and down and said, "no! Just be the king's new lover for the time being!" Before Yin LAN could react, she grabbed her wrist, went back to the area and pulled her into her arms.
Yin Lanyu's white face was red, but he didn't dare to resist. At this time, Shangguan Yuanji, Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and other ministers had penetrated.
"Please see your majesty!"
Seeing a beautiful strange woman sitting in Tang Yin's arms, everyone was stunned, but no one dared to ask more questions and bowed their hands.
"Well, everyone who should come has come. But do you think the king has done something inappropriate tonight?" Tang Yin asked with a smile while playing with Yin Lan's hair.
"There is something wrong!" Zhang Zhe said bluntly: "changing so many local officials at once will cause great trouble, and many of them are innocent..."
"Even if only one person is guilty, you, Lord Zhang, can't escape the blame. Don't forget that as a censor doctor, you are not only responsible for managing the Treasury, but also for supervising all officials. Corrupt officials are prevalent in local areas. What are your censor's office doing? If you even have to verify these things yourself, what do you want the censor doctor to do?"
His words made Zhang Zhe pale and silent.
Seeing this, Qiu Zhen answered, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang's words are not right. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the place if so many local officials are replaced."
"What will happen?" Tang Yinzhi asked, "what kind of truth is it that replacing corrupt officials and sending honest and capable talents to manage the place will cause trouble?"
"Your Majesty, some things are not as simple as they appear." Qiu Zhen said anxiously, "my territory has expanded so fast, but all counties and counties have been peaceful and there has been no major unrest. Why? Do the people conquered by my strong wind not hate us? No, they hate our country and the king. The reason why they dare not resist is because of these corrupt officials in the eyes of the king!"
