On the first day of the Lunar New Year’s Eve, according to previous years’ practice, morning courts are not held since today until the Lantern Festival in the 15th. Whether it is the officials of the six ministries or the officials of the other yamen, it is only these fifteen days that are truly leisurely during the year. Even if the things on the table are piled higher than the mountain after fifteen days, it is only the things that are considered after fifteen days.

Nowadays, how can you feel comfortable?

The Ministry of Justice was in troubled times before and after the New Year. That night, the attack was very close to the Ministry of Justice, which alarmed the Emperor, and led to the Minister of Justice Wang Zhizhang, the Minister of Justice, who had been on the top seat of the Ministry of Justice for about twenty years, retiring and returning home. Although the head seat of the Ministry of Justice has become Guan Baixia, in fact, there are many officials who are still loyal to Wang Zhizhang after the Ministry of Justice. Wang Zhizhang has been operating the Ministry of Justice for many years. Even if he is not careful and has fallen to this point, the things he has in the Ministry of Justice are not completely eliminated.

Therefore, among the six ministries, only Bai Xia, the Minister of Shangshu, had to stay in the Ministry of Justice to watch the files for the fifteen days after the New Year. This year, he did not have a relaxed life.

But in fact, it is obvious that Guan Baixia has a bad year but he really got the title of a minister of justice. What is the concept of a minister of justice? One of the six ministers of the Yanling Dynasty, a third-rank official, is a real master of the temple in the entire Yanling Dynasty!

Even Guan Baixia himself felt a little incredible. Wang Zhizhang had been in the Ministry of Justice for many years. If he hadn't handled that night, His Majesty would have been really angry. I think no matter what, he wouldn't have been in this position now.

In the spring exam, even if Guan Baixia was the first in the list, wouldn’t he have to patiently survive until now?

In the officialdom, civil servants and military officials are different. Civil servants pay attention to cooking tea with a fine fire. They have to study the heat slowly over the long years to make a pot of mellow and good tea, while military officials are different. They are said by these literati as cooking cold wine on high fire. If they can achieve it overnight, it would be best. If not, it would be at least faster than making tea.

But when he sat down, he sat on it. Guan Baixia was also thinking deeply while excited. His Majesty the Emperor and the Academy were probably not what the government and the public thought. If he wanted to sit in this seat, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort.

Sitting in the room belonging to Lord Shangshu in the Ministry of Justice, Guan Baixia threw it away

In the end, a few words were written on a piece of white rice paper.

"Every step by step."

At this moment, on the street outside the Ministry of Justice, a man with a vicissitudes of face stood at the yamen for a moment, and finally sighed, turned around and left.

This former third-rank official in the court, the Minister of Justice, and now a cattle man, looked at the carriage parked in the distance, with a complicated expression.

It is not easy to stay in Luoyang City. Compared to Guan Baixia's success after so many years, he finally achieved the right result. Although he had much better opportunities than him before, to be honest, he could not laugh to the end. Until now, even if he knew why His Majesty the Emperor was angry, he would still have to make this choice that night. I believe that every official in the court would not make a different choice from him.

But even so, the Emperor finally chose to drive him out of Luoyang City.

It's just because he chose the wrong thing that everyone will choose the wrong one.

What else can Wang Zhizhang do besides smiling bitterly?

Walking on the street, this old man, who is not considered an elderly person, really looks a little bad at his legs.

But after only a few steps, a woman soon trotted to him and said a few words to him.

Wang Zhizhang looked up from afar, and there was someone standing there at the entrance of the alley, looking at this side.

Wang Zhizhang walked quickly over there, and the woman who came to report the news stood there and did not rush forward.

Standing at the entrance of the alley was the blind scholar Wang Yanqing.

Wang Zhizhang walked to Wang Yanqing, bowed to Wang Yanqing before saying bitterly: "Wang is leaving Luoyang City, and all the civil and military officials in the court are unwilling to come to see Wang, but Mr. Yanqing is here, which makes Wang feel warm."

Wang Yanqing smiled, "In the past, I had to call Lord Wang, but in the future I could only say Mr. Wang, please don't blame Yanqing."

Wang Zhizhang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There is no reason."

Wang Yanqing stretched out his hand and signaled to speak with Wang Zhizhang while walking.

After taking a few steps, Wang Yanqing said softly: "Mr. Wang is wondering why His Majesty is harsh on Mr. Mr. for what most people will choose wrong?"

Wang Zhizhang remained silent and nodded at the end, "Yes."

Wang Yanqing said in a warm voice

: "Rong Yanqing asked a few questions."

Wang Zhizhang nodded, "Mr. Yanqing, but it's okay to ask."

"Who is Luoyang City?"

When Wang Zhizhang faced this problem, he had no idea.

Wang Yanqing said to himself: "The entire Yanling is under the jurisdiction of the Academy and those academies. Confucianism is deeply rooted in Yanling. It can even be said that without Confucianism, there would be no Luoyang City and there would be no Yanling Dynasty. But Your Majesty is the monarch of the secular country. He manages those secular people, so those secular people have to listen to him. Even if the academy stands behind the scenes, these secular people cannot bear the things that they should not bear. Therefore, if Luoyang City is from the Academy, it is a bit unreasonable. But since Luoyang City belongs to Your Majesty, Mr. Wang's independent claim that night was equivalent to a disguised recognition that Luoyang City belongs to the Academy. Therefore, if Your Majesty is angry, it will make sense. It is not something that Mr. Wang can't understand when he falls to this point today."

Wang Zhizhang sighed, "What if the Academy is dissatisfied with what Luoyang City does?"

Wang Yanqing shook his head, "There are many voices in the academy. That Master Su is the biggest voice. Only when Master Su is not in the academy, the academy sends monks into Luoyang City. If the master is in the academy, even if there are still monks entering Luoyang City, they will never ask the Ministry of Justice to help. Therefore, the matter that night failed, and the academy could only suffer a silence, because Master Su is the head of the academy. Even after Master Su returns to the academy, the voices in the academy will disappear. Luoyang City's actions this time will be considered to maintain the authority of Master Su, so the academy will not be dissatisfied, at least Master Su will not be dissatisfied, that's enough."

"It's better for Mr. Yan Qing to stand high, Wang really doesn't see that far."

"It's meaningless. Just know that your Majesty is different from the emperors of Yanling in the past dynasties. It's enough to have a relationship with the academy. For so many years, Yanling has been watching the mountain at the foot of the mountain. Now His Majesty wants to change the way he gets with Yanling. Do you think it's interesting?"

“Not difficult?”

"Disaster."

"Even if it is difficult, Your Majesty is willing to do it, so we shouldn't get involved."

Wang Zhizhang's face was dull and a little helpless.
