Lin Xuran read the content of the note, but sighed: "Xu Jie did mention to Guo Pu obscurely that he would target the reformists, but Guo Pu's attitude is still ambiguous!"

He was not surprised that Xu Jie had to deal with them at all. But Guo Pu was just an old fox and had not revealed his true intentions until now, which made it difficult for him to make a decision.

"Uncle Nineteenth, if Guo Puruo really chooses to help Xu Jie, what should we do here?" Lin Fu asked immediately after hearing this.

Lin Weiran picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. He looked at the butcher in the pork stall below chopping meat, and said helplessly: "Once Guo Pu chooses to join forces with the Xu family, we will be the meat on the chopping board!"

The dignified Chief Auxiliary and the Minister of Personnel joined forces, just like the Yan Party was in power back then, and no official had the ability to challenge. This is why Xu Jie was willing to marry his granddaughter to Yan Song's eldest grandson Yan Shaoqing as his concubine.

"Uncle Nineteen, are we really good at planning?" Lin Fu knew that Lin Xuran was very good at planning, so he asked.

Lin Qingran sighed lightly, put down the teacup and looked at the direction of the Guo Mansion and said carelessly: "I just hope Guo Pu can be a little in love and don't do things too much!"

Lin Fu's eyes lit up immediately, and he felt that this resourceful uncle, seemed to have a trick.

The officialdom in the capital is actually a world of fame and fortune. Even during the Spring Festival holiday, most of the officials in the capital have been trying every means to cling to various relationships.

On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, all the officials went to the yamen again, but for the first time, they went to the palace to attend the congratulations.

Since Jiajing stopped the morning court, he seemed to be at will for many things.

According to the Ming Dynasty, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor had to accept congratulations from the people in the main hall of the Forbidden City. However, as the three halls were burned down, this matter was delayed.

Originally this year was just like in previous years, but Jiajing suddenly had a whim and wanted to hold a congratulations on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year.

The three halls were rebuilt in September last year, and the Tian Hall was changed to the Huangji, the Huagai Hall was Zhongji, the Jinshen Hall was Jianji, the Wenlou was Wenzhao Pavilion, and the Wulou was Wucheng Pavilion.

The civil and military officials no longer went to the Zutian Hall, but to the magnificent Huangji Hall to congratulate. Many officials finally had the opportunity to see Jiajing's appearance. Many officials were excited to wipe their tears.

It is undoubtedly unfortunate to be an official in Jiajing. It is difficult for them to meet Jiajing.

However, Jiajing was not in good health. He woke up early in the morning and felt severely uncomfortable. After accepting the kneeling of civil and military officials, he also returned to Xiyuan early.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the night festival holiday will begin again.

The most important festival of the Ming Dynasty was not the Spring Festival, but the Lantern Festival. The ten-day holiday made officials in the capital city crazy again. Especially after this holiday, they will soon enter the Beijing inspection and reporting stage.

Among the officials in the capital, the only official who does not need to worry about the Beijing Prefecture is the Ci minister of the Hanlin Academy.

The ci ministers of the Hanlin Academy have already formed their own lines. Whether it was the external inspection last year or the Beijing inspection this year, they had nothing to do with their group of noble ci ministers.

Although they do not have too much power, they do not have too many threats. They can only earn their qualifications in the Hanlin Academy. If they have more ambitious officials, they can practice the skills of Qingci well.

In addition to the lyricists of the Hanlin Academy, censors are usually spared from the disaster of the Beijing Prefecture.

They not only have the power to supervise all officials, but also can submit evaluations of certain officials during the inspection of Beijing. Officials of the Ministry of Personnel should also combine their opinions to rate a certain official.

It is precisely because they control the Beijing Procuratorate's report that their censors usually do not attack each other. Therefore, although officials are in the scope of Beijing Procuratorate, they are usually able to pass through safely.

The same is true. At this time, the most uneasy ones were the low-level officials in the capital who had no background and the gang of Wu Shan's disciples.

Xiyuan, Wanshou Palace.

Although Jiajing, wearing a blue Taoist robe, spent the New Year safely, his complexion was obviously too bad as before. His whole face looked a little pale, and he sometimes coughed a few more times.

Due to the decline in physical fitness, the illness gradually increased, which made him more anxious about immortality, so he sent three imperial envoys to join the world.

Jiajing coughed again, but he still insisted on sitting in front of the case, carefully reviewing and approving the batch of memorials after the New Year, and soon opened the memorials of the Henan Supervisor Ling Ru.

However, the memorial reads: "The humble minister, Henan Dao Supervisor, Ling Ru, is the master of all things in the world, and is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Although we have eliminated treacherous and slanderous people and laziness in the present day, we have shortcomings. The emperor is benevolent and righteous, and has partial preferences.

For the old ministers, they were more tolerant of corrupt officials, but instead helped them. I was very brave and asked the emperor to stay away from the eunuchs and severely punish corrupt officials..."

After watching for a while, the memorial was immediately thrown heavily on the ground, making a crisp sound in the hall.

"Please calm down!" Huang Jin looked at Jiajing and immediately led the palace maid and eunuch to kneel on the ground and said.

Jiajing looked at the memorial on the ground and said angrily, "I opened up the road of words, and I am not a fool for you here, and you don't need to point fingers!"

Why did he attack censors at the beginning? It was because these censors were too upset. Not to mention that these censors always like to find trouble without any trouble, but they often point fingers and don’t know how to be a minister at all.

This memorial was obviously insinuating and expressed dissatisfaction with his disposal of Hu Zongxian.

But these censors didn't think about it carefully. If Hu Zongxian had not had outstanding abilities, how could the Southeast be so peaceful in recent years? Moreover, greed was never the focus of his attacks. He needed loyal officials.

Jiajing knew that if he did not punish severely, such memorials would be endless. Just like his memorials against Zhang Wei last year, when he acknowledged Zhang Wei's behavior, censors such as Zou Yinglong submitted memorials one after another.

Huang Jin looked up at the memorial lying quietly on the ground, but could not see the content of the memorial clearly. He couldn't help but turn his head carefully to observe Jiajing's anger.

Jiajing glanced at Huang Jin who was kneeling on the ground, pointed to the memorial on the ground and immediately ordered: "Trag this person to the Meridian Gate, take the court with a stick of 60, and dismissed from office for the people."

"Yes!" Huang Jin was secretly shocked and immediately took the order loudly.

On that day, Jiajing, who had been silent for a long time, showed his power again. A group of Jinyiwei, who was like a wolf and a tiger, took the Henan Dao Supervisor Ling Ru to the Meridian Gate, and was scepted to the court for 60.

The court stick was a punishment for officials in the court. It first began with Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was widely implemented in the Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. It was the most famous in the Ming Dynasty, and Jiajing pushed this punishment to the peak.

Although the Henan Dao Supervisor Ling Ru was granted a scepter, officials have always been proud of obtaining a scepter and can gain a good reputation in the scepter. Moreover, with his teacher Xu Jie in the court, as long as he arrives in the new dynasty, he will definitely

Able to restore the position.
