1233 TWO Chapter 1233-Fishing (2/2)

In the end, Ouyang Shuo forced himself to swallow it.

Ouyang Shuo was going to continue to observe calmly. He knew that if everyone had jumped out, there had to be bigger and more fishes hiding under it all.

What Ouyang Shuo needed was patience.

After half a month of rest, the Imperial Court and the wilderness was bustling.

The part that made Ouyang Shuo relatively happy was that not all of the non-instantiated officials opposed the matter. Those that supported, or at least did not oppose, could be split into three types.

First were the generals.

This was the point that Ouyang Shuo was the happiest about. Throughout the entire process, he did not even need to ask Baiqi to step out because the entire general group did not interfere and continued to focus on their roles.

Such an army was the blessing of Great Xia and Ouyang Shuo's good fortune.

Ouyang Shuo had always emphasized on administrative and military matters being separate and that the military were not to interfere. The results of this problem showed the successful results of his ideology.

The second type were the old officials.

Natives like Gu Xiuwen, Zhou Haichen as well as those who joined early like Tian Wenjing and Fan Zhongyan all agreed unconditionally.

This made Ouyang Shuo happy.

They did that because of their loyalty toward him. Moreover, since they had followed by his side for so long, they were influenced by him, so their ways of thinking were more open.

Thirdly were the truly ambitious ones.

They did not oppose and even determinedly supported the restriction of the emperor's power. Zeng Guofan, Wei Zheng, Di Qing, and more were among them.

Meanwhile, Wei Yang supporting the matter somewhat surprised Ouyang Shuo but not really.

One must know that establishing the court of law would affect the Internal Affairs Court the most.

Wei Yang not bothering about personal losses and standing from the viewpoint of the court of law to evaluate this matter made Ouyang Shuo feel greatly touched.

As expected from the giant of the legalism school of thought.

...

This storm still has not calmed down after the Imperial Court resumed work.

Ouyang Shuo was not prepared to wait. This time, he was not only going to establish it, but he would also cleanse the Great Xia official field.

When Jiang Shang learned of this, he was totally placed on the spot.

Seeing that, Ouyang Shuo consoled him, ”Elder, if time would allow it, I would not do this. However, it's already the 7th year, and time waits for no one.”

Ouyang Shuo was obviously anxious.

In these short three to four years, Great Xia needed to expand, tear down Silver Hand and Azure Badge and also finish the internal transformations before they arrived.

Each and every matter was important, so how could he not be anxious?

”Understood!” Jiang Shang nodded. He understood the position the emperor was in, ”Do not worry, your majesty. I'll do everything I can.”

”Thank you.”

Looking at the silver hair of Jiang Shang, Ouyang Shuo was also touched.

Any revolution would not be smooth and would always face various challenges.

”To be able to help the emperor is my fortune.”

Ouyang Shuo sighed and waved his hand, ”The Emperor dynasty has been proceeding too smoothly. It's time for a revolution, or problems will arise.”

Jiang Shang nodded.
