Chapter 33 (2/2)

”Only a few Yan officials who are not afraid of death dare to stand on the side of Wu Taifu.”

”Your Highness Qi has been in the limelight this time. Over the years, he has never participated in the affairs of the court. Only in today's early Dynasty, he stood on the side of Wu Taifu. It's really a blockbuster.”

Xiao mubai didn't care much.

”What's distressing is Xiao Yanjun. I'm afraid my fourth brother will regret his green intestines.”

Xu Wenlan laughed and drank with Xiao mubai.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival, some people are happy and others are worried.

In the early morning, civil and military officials knelt more than half. Xiao Yanjun and Du Hanfei are the two most prominent people in the front.

Originally, Du Hanfei was no big deal. The disciple was accused of corruption by the emperor. He died and was fined some salary. But it happened that he had just caught Zhu ChenLin in the morning and was remonstrated by Lu Mingxi in the afternoon.

Moreover, they also took out a handwritten letter from Zhu ChenLin to Cai Wenyong, which stated that Cai Wenyong should take the Navy, pretend to be a pirate and rob official silver. Even the transportation route map after robbing the official bank is attached on the back.

Irrefutable evidence made him unable to move, unable to refute and unable to turn over.

Du Hanfei knelt on his knees to plead guilty. The emperor snorted coldly and ordered to punish him for one year's salary and withdraw his position as the examiner of Chunwei.

Du Hanfei was resentful. The emperor really unloaded some of his power. You should know that the position of examiner has many advantages. He can not only install his own students. Even if he is not his disciple, officials who come out of Chunwei and become officials in the future will respect his teacher when they see him.

The reason why Du Hanfei can cover the sky with only one hand now is that he has the power to the government and the public, which has inherited the great convenience of Chunwei.

Now, the emperor withdrew his position as examiner on the grounds that he didn't know how to employ people, and he couldn't pick it out. More than half of the people kneeling behind could not protect themselves, let alone make a voice and speak for him at this time.

Du Hanfei could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach. He endured heartache and ordered to thank him.

As for Xiao Yanjun, he had read poetry and books since childhood and was well-educated. Even Wu Taifu boasted when he was young that his highness Si was very talented and diligent. In the future, I'm afraid no one in the state of Xiao can surpass his right.

The emperor has always liked this son. He is intelligent, handsome, clever and popular. No one in the palace seems to dislike him, ranging from eunuchs and palace maids to civil and military officials.

Looking at him kneeling in front of him tremblingly, the emperor's anger was hard to calm. He hated iron and steel and scolded him: ”after reading the sages' books for nothing, learn more from your seven younger brothers.”

”Yes, my son and Minister know their mistakes. I'll ask the seventh younger brother for advice in the future.” Xiao Yanjun pinched out deep finger marks in his fist clenched hands, but his tone was extremely humble.

Seeing that he was mentioned, Xiao Zimu said, ”the fourth brother was blinded for a while. Don't be angry and hurt the dragon body.”

The emperor looked at Xiao Zimu again at this time, and the more he looked, the more pleasing he was to his eyes.

”You will be the examiner of Chunwei this year. Don't live up to my expectations.” In fact, the emperor has been considering who is the right person to give Du Hanfei's examiner. At present, seeing this son who never formed a party for personal gain, I thought it was more suitable, so I made a decision.

Xiao Zimu heard that there was no joy on his face. He accepted the order without being surprised and replied calmly: ”my son and minister will live up to my father's expectations.”

The emperor saw that he was calm and calm, and his heart was happy again.

Xiao Yanjun and Du Hanfei looked at each other, and their faces were black.

The Emperor gave Wu Taifu and other speech officials some salaries, jewelry and cloth. Praised their literati integrity and unyielding firm faith. It makes them very useful.

As for the rest, the black and vast kneeling area. The salary was fined lightly, and the official was demoted to three levels.

After retreating from the court, there were cries of sorrow all over the country.

Only Wu Taifu and his face are full of spring breeze
