Yi Li's fall into the water was like smashing a huge rock in a pond, causing huge waves, as if he had a severe injection to the capital officialdom, which was deeply energetic.

Previously, public opinion generally believed that after the emperor investigated and punished the Qing-th Party, it was impossible for the emperor to make a big move and start a big killing for the so-called "stability" and face. At best, it was just a single position, and the adjustment of individual characters would not bring about overall or fundamental shocks.

Unfortunately, Lin Guangyu underestimated human nature's greed for money and his own luck in his own destiny. After Li Lianying, Xiao Dezhang, Yi Li, Na Tong and others searched the relevant bribe gift books, the blacklist he had was powerful and comprehensive, and the hammer of anger in his hand could fall at any time - as long as he was willing.

It is also regrettable that the corrupt officials of all sizes also underestimated the emperor's determination to rectify the administration of the government. After the ten-day deadline, only a few people confessed the problem, less than one-tenth of the total number of blacklists. Even though most people knew the situation, they still tried to resist and escape. They either refused to admit the problem, or avoided the important and the real, and tried to turn big things into small things. They still fantasized that the emperor would raise up and fall down gently with the mentality of "the law does not blame the public".

Wrong! Wrong is quite awesome!

Lin Guangyu could not bear it anymore, so he followed the map and started the suppression machine. For half a month, there have been countless officials arrested in the capital, and those involved in the Qing--the party were investigated and questioned one after another. Not only did they know the way and content of their bribery, but they also had to investigate the source and composition of the bribery. In those days, officials above the fourth rank were beheaded almost in hundreds. Caishikou had to perform a "reserved program" of beheading at three o'clock in the morning. Whenever the executioners waved the shiny ghost-headed sword, the crowd burst into a warm cheer.

However, everything has a process from prosperity to decline. The spectators in the capital went from being excited and relieved at the beginning, watching the crowds of people, and then being insensitive and turning a blind eye to it. They only experienced the whole process from fresh to bored in just half a month.

——Killing people is not news now, not killing people is news! The common people applauded and the officials were frightened!

The Times observers exclaimed: I originally thought that Cen Chunxuan was the only Chinese who was Guan Tu, but now I realize that he is an extremely kind saint compared to this Chinese emperor.

No one dared to object to the emperor's actions, and no one dared to dissuade the emperor's actions.

Their contradictory mentality of wanting to speak but stops became increasingly shaken just because of the emperor's famous saying: "What are you afraid of when you kill an official? The world of China is so big that other talents are lacking, but there are only those who want to be officials. If you kill a Zhang San, countless Zhang San would want to take over. There are so many corrupt officials in the world, how can you shock the latecomers if you don't kill a few?"

It is not enough to tell the emperor that God has the virtue of being a virtuous, and those who persuade him cannot resist it—"God has the virtue of being a virtuous. Who will come to those who have been harmed by corrupt officials?"

With the abolition of the dethrone, the beheaded and the beheaded were always crowded. With severe redundant personnel, the bureaucratic team in the capital actually had a gap for the first time, and it was necessary to think about making up for it.

It feels so good to stand at the peak of power. The pleasure of enjoying life, the ambition that looks down on the world, no matter how much money you have, Xu Shichang has no time to celebrate - he is enjoying this process.

The Military Affairs Office, which has been in charge of power for more than 100 years and has always been regarded as a gathering place of power, has been laid off. It has always been famous, but the cabinet, which is a void, has been truly transformed into an agency with achievements and status.

Listen to the four words "responsible cabinet" which means that the cabinet is responsible, not a rubber mechanism that brags about not drafting.

He stood up straight, walked out of the window and looked at the white where the world was in the distance, and countless emotions and thoughts surged into his heart.

He clearly remembered the hard work of studying hard in the countryside, the embarrassment of going to Beijing to take the exam because of lack of money, the bitterness of having to sit on the bench in the Hanlin Academy, the hesitation of making suggestions when training in small stations, the strategies of opening northeastern provinces and making great achievements...everything came to my mind.

The ministers have already reached the end! Although there are many people in the world that have come to 260

For a time, the power was in power, such as Oboi and Heshen, but their power rather than rules were derived rather than origin. Only Xu Shichang's power was indeed the first person who deserved the name. He was a little proud and proud. Only today did he fully understand why some people fight for such a position to fight for such a position is too tempting and attractive. As for going further? As for the minister, he had never thought about it, but he thought it would be particularly intoxicating.

Having tired of seeing the scenery, Xu Shichang turned around and picked up the picture on the table that he had read countless times, but he still felt that he had not read enough. The red title revealed that this day was by no means an ordinary day. As expected, it was published on it. The list of the first term of the Empire was also a transitional cabinet. Although he could recite the list of important positions almost instructed, he still couldn't help but recite it out loud like he did when he received the newspaper on the first day.

Below one person and above ten thousand people, he thought in a daze that he would lead them in the future. His reputation and achievements must be firmly tied to them, prospering and losing, and there is no room for retreat or maneuvering.

"Master, there are adults coming to visit outside." The doorman respectfully handed over the post. Since the edict of Xu Shichang being appointed as the first Prime Minister of the Cabinet was published, the threshold of the Xu Mansion gate was about to be cut off. Xu Shichang gritted his teeth on the first day, but later he was really disturbed and refused them all.

I just took office and wanted to make an idea of ​​me. Do you think the emperor had not cut enough? Faced with the praise from the outside world, the circumcision and even the flattery, Xu Shichang kept a clear mind and did not speak out at all, because he knew that those were passing clouds and could not be true. What he could really grasp was this trust and action. If he lost trust, no matter how high his power or the deeper his background could not withstand the depravity from the clouds - Isn't Yi Li the best example?

After finally eliminating Bi Qing-the group, Lin Guangyu burned the "Empress Dowager's Decree" that was extremely unfavorable to him in front of Xu Shichang, and removed the latter's heart. Although this matter was the emperor's plan from beginning to end, it was just a hypothesis of a fake move, for Xu Shichang, who ran through the whole process, this was not a joke, but a sharp knife stabbed into his heart.

Now that the emperor burned it in front of him, isn’t this just a sign of trust and respect? The king and ministers are in harmony, great things can be accomplished, and the pleasure of life may lie here.

Although the "decree of imperial decree" turned into ashes in a stream of blue smoke, in Xu Shichang's heart, no matter whether there is or not, his admiration for the emperor will not be weakened in half, and his awe for the emperor will not be reduced by 10%. Perhaps this is the enlightenment that the Prime Minister of the Cabinet should have.

—

He couldn't help but think of Yi Li and his son. What should they think if they knew that Xu Shichang had made a contribution in their shameful fate? But no matter what, successful people should not be cursed, and he would not regret his decision, let alone this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

But some things cannot be concealed and reported because of their lenient nature. Xu Shichang saw very clearly the role he played. He did not deliberately conceal his former role as a party. However, when he had a nervous attitude and compiled the economic exchanges between Yi Li and his father and son over the years into a book, the emperor did not read them and burned them to death.

The flames swallowed the paper and soon turned it into ashes. Looking at his unnatural expression, Lin Guangyu only had a faint sentence in his mouth: "Do it well, remember my words from the wise and wise ministers. Don't let me regret choosing you, and don't let myself regret such an opportunity in the future without knowing to cherish it!"

How deafening?! Xu Shichang suddenly woke up, and his spine was scared and sweated in cold sweat. Then he suddenly realized how profound and earnest the emperor's expectations and warnings for him were. Although the pleasure of standing at the top was not illusory, it was not the end of life at all, but just another starting point.

Although the Prime Minister of the Cabinet has many foundations and conditions for ancient wise ministers, in terms of realm, this is just a shell, and the deepening and improvement of its true connotation is far from beginning.

It is hard to imagine that a person with the ambition of the world will focus on this and will keep his ambitions above the extreme status of his ministers. If that is, it will be too small, too vulgar, and too snobbish.

Only by constantly moving forward in progress, constantly improving in pioneering, and sublimating in practice can life be perfect and full of hope.

This is true for life, especially for the country!
