Cheng Yunxiang hurriedly walked in from the palace gate, just in time to hear the last sound of Hou Wenwu leaving the world, but he just frowned and smelled it with his nose.

Officials in the feudal era were very tolerant of cruel events. Just like the civil servants of their descendants, in most cases, the tragedies were actually created by themselves. For him, watching the blood of a murderer and the flesh being torn is like watching his own vomited lunch, or his own stool. The level of nausea drops by three levels, and it falls into the category of being able to study it carefully without affecting the gastric motility.

The eunuchs in the palace saw Cheng Yunxiang outside the door without any need to search, and quickly brought him in.

Speaking of which, Cheng Jinzhou's second uncle was a pure official, with little family ties but keen political acumen. When he saw the melee in the sky, he immediately thought of Xiao Cheng's purpose. With the spirit of not letting go of the wrongdoers, he came to Miyagi City holding the compiled files.

Unlike those coy aristocratic relatives, Cheng Yunxiang put his position very clearly from the beginning. His surname is Cheng, and he belongs to the Cheng family. Whether he likes it or not, he must be labeled as a Cheng family member. There has always been a lot of attention paid to Cheng Jinzhou's affairs. Although he may not necessarily agree with what Cheng Jinzhou did, when his nephew was at his most powerful, if he wanted to get involved, he had to follow closely.

On the other hand, Cheng Yunxiang was a genuine Jinshi. Even if His Majesty the Emperor did not like it, the appointment and dismissal of ordinary civil servants still belonged to the rights of the civil service group, and he was not afraid at all. It can be said that he can advance and retreat with great ease.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor felt unhappy when he saw that Cheng Yunxiang had arrived so quickly without even giving himself any time to turn around. It's a pity that now, what he thinks is not the focus of everyone's attention.

Cheng Yunxiang brought a total of 620 counties' information. He held it in his hand like a test paper. The content was more detailed than what the senior officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs found, which showed that he was well prepared.

As usual, he paid his respects to His Majesty the Emperor, and smiled gently at Cheng Jinzhou. Cheng Yunxiang pointed to a few names and said: "Changfeng County and Lingshi County are both lower counties, and there happens to be vacancies..."

He didn't know much about the situation, so he naturally followed the rules first.

Cheng Jinzhou coughed, patted Lu Xu on the shoulder and said, "Master Cheng, please take a step to speak."

Although the battle was over, it didn't mean there was no danger, so he didn't even think about getting off Lu Xu.

Cheng Yunxiang was stunned and walked to the bottom of the steps with him.

The place where His Majesty the Emperor and others are standing now is not the palace hall in the traditional sense, but the observation deck outside the hall. It is usually used as a place for the imperial guards to queue up for exercises. As long as you go down the steps, the place is very big.

Cheng Jinzhou's voice was low and his words were domineering: "Are you going to the county? Where is the best place? Don't worry about whether it's missing or not."

He wanted to settle things quickly, before any fourth-level star warlock arrived.

Cheng Yunxiang had to ask: "Are you really no longer in the capital?"

Cheng Jinzhou nodded firmly and said in a serious tone: "I have almost emptied the warehouses in the capital. When the time comes, the imperial court will have no food and salary. It may have to look for it from me again. Once I have taken advantage of it, I will prepare myself." Go home and farm."

Looking at the officials of later generations, Cheng Jinzhou can also guess all kinds of bad policies that officials have used or may have invented. Rather than making some small money from wrangling, Cheng Jinzhou would rather leave the capital and cultivate his fields with peace of mind.

Seeing that his attitude was clear, Cheng Yunxiang said with peace of mind: "Just make up your mind. People in the capital are complicated. If you win today, it's hard to say what will happen tomorrow..."

Feeling that he had said something unlucky, Cheng Yunxiang coughed and said, "Since there are no vacancies, what about De'an County?"

De'an is not far from Shaonan and also belongs to Jinchuan Prefecture. It's just that it is far away from Nanling and has a difficult relationship with the governor's yamen. It is said that it is full of evil and attached to the provincial capital of Guo. This is what it means. But with Cheng Jinzhou's status, I am afraid that the governor will be full of evil.

Cheng Jinzhou opened the information and took a look at it. He saw that it was a plain landform, not far from Shaonan, and there was a small amount of coal reserves. He immediately nodded in agreement. Even if it was just because of the fertile land there, he would agree.

Cheng Yunxiang introduced a few words and then said with a smile: "As long as you return to the southwest, you will be a real Bailihou. The life span of a star warlock is indeed a good idea."

Star warlocks who are not three-stars often have a longevity of 150 years. If they are lucky and get help from Xingzhou's special star array, they can live another 100 years. Cheng Jinzhou was in his youth, and with his qualifications, he would almost certainly live to be 250 years old, which meant that he could operate in the county for 200 years if he wished. Such a long period of time is almost the same as the dynasties in ancient Chinese history. It is not an exaggeration to say that the earth was broken and the king was crowned.

What Cheng Jinzhou can think of, gentlemen who are swirling in political circles all day long can naturally think of it. Therefore, when he returned to the emperor and took out De'an County, His Majesty felt as if he wanted to make him a king.

Finally, Sun Jifeng said something: "De'an is in Shangxian County. There is no precedent for appointing people to officials. It is unreasonable. Mr. Cheng is not like..."

"I am Jieyuan." Cheng Jinzhou blocked it with one sentence.

When Jieyuan is appointed as an official, it is said that he can indeed be promoted to a higher level. Of course, in the understanding of the court officials, there should be steps to assist the second official from the lower county to the upper county. But from a system perspective, it is unnecessary.

After removing the last legal obstacle, Cheng Jinzhou said with a smile: "It just so happens that officials from the province are here, please use the seal of His Majesty the Emperor."

In the political tradition of Daxia, documents were presented in the political hall, the emperor approved with his seal, and the provincial government issued edicts on matters, all three were indispensable. Generally speaking, when the imperial power is strong, the power of the political hall will be weakened, but when the power of the civil servant group is strong, the emperor's power will be weakened. The Menxia Province often reflects the emperor's wishes, but it maintains the purity of the literati The latter is often held by young low-level officials, who are typical examples of low-level officials and the fastest way for low-level officials to advance.

Sun Jifeng was a member of the Political Affairs Hall, so he reluctantly signed the appointment letter prepared by Cheng Yunxiang, followed by His Majesty the Emperor. The document went around like a revolving door and finally reached the hands of Liu Yuezhou from Menxia Province.

Among the people present, Liu Yuezhou was second only to Cheng Jinzhou in age, and his official rank was also the lowest among them. But when faced with the appointment letter sent by Sun Jifeng, he didn't even blink.

Sun Jifeng was overjoyed when he saw this. He was still regretting why the officials from the Political Affairs Hall and the Menxia Province were blocked together, and it was the Ministry of Civil Affairs who was blocked. But looking at Liu Yuezhou's current appearance, he was very likely to do the most important thing for a scholar. The most talked about thing - the refuting memorial.

As the name suggests, in the political structure of Daxia, the greatest theoretical right given to Shizhong is to refute memorials. Not only can he refute memorials from the Zhengshitang, but he can also refute memorials that the emperor has approved - which sounds a bit disturbing. It's hard to believe it, but in fact, young people who have received more than ten years of ethical education are indeed more bloody than gentlemen in high positions. The right to refute was often used in the history of Daxia.

When a seventh-grade Gai Shizhong refuted the edict of a senior official or even the Emperor, the latter would often summon Gai Shizhong and explain the reasons to him, thus gaining support from Gai Shizhong, and then do it a second time. Issue an edict. And if you persist in the matter, there will be no second edict to avoid losing face again.

Of course, it is conceivable that when exercising the right to refute the matter, you must take great political risks. This is like a small department-level official of the central government openly publishing an article in a major newspaper and periodical to oppose a certain order and policy of the State Council.

No matter whether you are successful or not, you have to risk being dismissed from office and lose your reputation. Even so, you are still like a moth to the flame after wave of troubles...

Now Liu Yuezhou is obviously ready to become a moth.

He looked at Cheng Jinzhou with contempt in his eyes, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

Classmate Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment, but Cheng Yunxiang reacted immediately. He was an official of the Ministry of Personnel himself, and was very familiar with the three officials. Knowing Liu Yuezhou's strong temper, he couldn't help but said: "Why don't I send him to the province to issue a formal edict?"

The implication is to find someone who can pass.

Liu Yuezhou snorted coldly and said, "I want to refute this edict."

If he said it was rejected, then naturally the other matters would not be approved.

Cheng Jinzhou had never encountered such a situation before, so he couldn't help but look at Sun Jifeng and said, "Master Sun, what does this mean?"

Sun Jifeng was happy in his heart, but on the surface he said calmly: "I will act alone..."

"Don't play such tricks on me. If you don't pass today, I'm going to kill you." Cheng Jinzhou forced the palace to appear in front of the emperor, and he would not be stopped by anything.

Liu Yuezhou pinched his neck and said: "The star warlock can take your humble head, but you will leave a mark in history."

What nonsense.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at Liu Yuezhou, his face stiff. Speaking of which, it was raining and the mother wanted to get married. What he did now was no better than a palace coup. If a scholar could stop it with a stiff neck, what's the use of the Imperial Guard.

Having said that, if you really meet a straight-tempered literati, trouble is inevitable. Not only are they not afraid of death, but they are also not afraid of genocide. In history, Fang Xiaoru was exterminated by Zhu Di. Not only were his father, son and brothers killed, but his wife and children were sold as prostitutes - official prostitutes are just a nice word, and even students and disciples would inevitably suffer... But he still did not usurp the throne under Zhu Di. Sign the instructions.

It can be seen that some people are not only the mainstay of integrity, but also acquired cold-blooded animals. They love fame and wealth but are not afraid of life and death. They are the protective clothing of the civil servant group.

Moreover, for the current Cheng Jinzhou, he neither wanted to bear the infamy nor was afraid of delaying the time, so he just stood up a memorial arch and spread soybeans.

Seeing that some officials were about to smile, Cheng Jinzhou became worried and said angrily: "Young officer, I count to three, if you don't sign, Daxia will have another national title tomorrow."

After saying that, he pointed his hand at Emperor Lizong!

His Majesty the Emperor was shocked.

Sun Jifeng and others were so frightened that they rolled over and stood in front of the emperor, shouting: "Cheng Jinzhou, your family is still in Daxia."

"Fuck you." Cheng Jinzhou killed several games in a row, and when his blood was boiling, he said in a dry voice: "I want to see how far you can go in terms of fame."

No matter what the reason is, if His Majesty the Emperor is killed during the incident, the consequences will definitely be infamy. Liu Yuezhou was not sure what the lower limit of Cheng Jinzhou's intelligence was and the upper limit of his madness. He actually had no right or opportunity to try.

Cheng Jinzhou softly uttered the word "one", and Liu Yuezhou said dejectedly: "Come on, just sign it."

The little eunuch next to him knelt on the ground in shock, holding up his pen and ink for Liu Yuezhou to use.

Two strokes passed. Cheng Jinzhou put away the edict with satisfaction, sat on Lu Xu's neck, bowed with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, I will definitely manage De'an well."

At this moment, the sound of hunting came from the sky again.

It was Warlock Liu Kuangxing and Warlock Jiang Huangxing who came together.

It's a pity that everything has been decided, but it's only one step too late.
