Chapter 505 Resigning from old age and returning home
I thought I was dead this time, but unexpectedly there was a twist of fate.
Who would want to die when they can live a good life?
Although Patriarch Li would feel sad to give up most of his wealth, it is better than losing his head.
Afterwards, Manju and Xihe and their group moved into the Li family and began to take inventory of their assets.
Then the Li family also began to sell off assets.
Let’s talk about Brigadier General Liu taking over the silver mine.
After more than two days of deployment, they completely took over the silver mine on the morning of the third day.
Many people were arrested, including skinny miners, as well as vicious supervisors and managers.
There are also mountains of bones.
Those who needed to be interrogated were interrogated, and those who needed to be punished were punished. Detailed records were soon obtained and sent to the capital.
Let’s talk about the 600 escort personnel sent to the capital.
No matter how well prepared we are or how many people there are.
When they were halfway there, they were still faced with wave after wave of assassinations and ambushes.
The person who came was extremely ferocious, and rushed forward regardless of his life or death.
Not only were these escort personnel killed, but the main purpose was to silence Prefect Qin and his entourage.
And grab evidence.
After several fierce battles, with many casualties, "Prefect Qin" still lost his life.
He died on the way to the capital.
By the time the "teacher" officially arrived in Beijing, he was already in a half-dead state, basically a disabled person, unable to speak.
The government was furious and sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
While Prince Ming was celebrating, thinking that he was still more skilled and what could he do to him?
The government had already sent people to closely monitor their entire family.
We followed the clues and found out a lot of things, and were just waiting for the final work of closing the net.
At the same time, I miss Xiao Heitan very much.
This little guy brings prosperity wherever he goes, at least he is especially prosperous for an official like him.
Even when going out for fun, I can encounter such a thing. This is really bad luck.
He never thought that the Ming Palace, which never fought for anything, would be hidden so deeply.
This is so scary.
As a result, the emperor is unable to even look these princes in the eye, and now everyone looks like they are preparing to rebel.
Haven't I been good to them? Even if I haven't given them any real power, at least I haven't deliberately suppressed them.
Wouldn’t it be satisfying to let them live like rich and idle people without having to worry about anything?
Maybe it's because people are greedy.
Little Black Tan is still the best, it suits my taste the most.
After receiving the message from Yingwu, he sent another group of people to help.
The officials were very angry when they thought that all this was caused by someone trying to assassinate Xiao Heitan.
You are actually having trouble with a child. In my opinion, everyone is too idle and the burden is not heavy enough. We should increase the burden.
So, from that day on, the morning court became the most difficult time for all the court officials.
Not to mention that the government these days is not only moody and can convict people at any time.
The key is that he has become vicious-tongued. He scolds whoever he meets and specifically picks on people's weaknesses. Whatever he fears, he will do it.
He has no mercy at all and only criticizes people where it hurts.
As a result, some elderly ministers, after repeated consideration, began to submit memorials requesting permission to retire and return home.
If you don’t retreat now, you may not even have the chance to retreat in the future.
According to past common practice, the emperor would have to wait until the other party submitted at least three memorials and repeatedly tried to retain the candidate.
I reluctantly agreed with a feeling of "extreme reluctance".
It would be best if the king and his subjects could cry bitterly for a while and play the role of king and subject to each other before the show is over.
This time, the government said nothing, and showed no intention of retaining him.
Not to mention crying bitterly and playing the role of a king and his subject, that is impossible.
He also said, "My dear, seeing that the situation is not good, are you planning to retreat early to save your life? You are quite tactful."
The frightened minister knelt on the ground and cried out: "I dare not, I am terrified."
Official: "Haha. What are you afraid of? What is there to be afraid of?"
You guys are just talking, I know you are very brave, much braver than me, the official.
I am also worried about whether the common people can survive.
I am also worried about whether foreign enemies will invade.
I am also worried about whether the Yellow River will burst its banks this year.
But you guys are only worried about whether your official position is high enough and whether the power you hold is enough.
How much money is pocketed? Is it enough to enjoy luxury in daily life?
I know that your private lives are no worse than mine as an official.
It’s just that you guys are good at acting and pretending, and you always treat me like a fool and trick me.”
The emperor's words frightened all the court officials so much that they knelt down and said, "We dare not, we did not do that."
Guan Jia snorted coldly, "Look, you guys are all united. Have you rehearsed with each other beforehand?"
"I am wronged."
"Heh~, what do you have to blame?"
But I am in a good mood today, and since you are tactful, I agree. You can leave safely."
The old minister who submitted the memorial hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."
When the others heard this, they wondered what the meaning of retreating peacefully was. What was the official planning to do?
What is the antonym of peace?
So everyone imagined this, and from the next day onwards, more old ministers submitted petitions to retire and return home.
I originally wanted to continue to occupy the seat and hold an umbrella for future generations, but I found that I had to withdraw.
This umbrella is about to be torn into pieces and punctured, so it’s better to put it away in advance.
At least we can save our strength and wait until the rain is not so heavy.
If the umbrella is really broken, there will be no hope.
The officials saw that these people were quite sensible. When the old people retired, if there were younger generations who had made progress, they would selectively look at them and promote them.
So, the old ministers who smelled something wrong began to retire and return home one by one.
Soon a lot of space was vacated.
Fortunately, the Enke exam will be launched this year, otherwise there really wouldn’t be enough talent.
Of course, this was a situation that the government had not expected, and it opened a new door for the government.
It turns out that if you want to achieve a certain goal, you don’t have to go straight to it.
There are also ways to save the country in a roundabout way, which may have better results.
At the same time, he also discovered that he could not be too nice to these court officials.
They tend to be arrogant when you are nice to them. On the contrary, if you are moody and venomous towards them, they will become more obedient and know how to retract their fangs.
That’s hard to say, it’s human nature.
In fact, at first he was just upset because Xiao Heitan was assassinated, so he wanted to vent.
Who knew there would be such a pleasant surprise.
These people seemed to be sending people to kill Xiao Heitan, but in fact they were killing me, the emperor.
Isn't it just that Little Black Tan helped me a lot, making those who have been planning behind the scenes for several years completely unable to sit still?
Want to get rid of Xiao Heitan, the lucky star sent from heaven.
Haha, everyone is eyeing my position.
After thinking it through, he decided to continue dealing with the people below, lest these people feel too idle and extend their evil hands to Xiao Heitan.
His lucky star must be safe. Whoever disturbs his lucky star will be killed along with his entire clan.
