Sima Shao also knew that the so-called reward was indeed excessive. Regardless of whether Yunfeng's offer of Yizhou was true or not, it was extremely inappropriate to just win over this person to fight against Wang Dun! If you don't give benefits, who will work for you? This

Sima Shao still understands the truth, but he can't help it. This is the result of the agreement reached by the Chancellor, and he can't make the decision.

In fact, brothers Wang Dun, Wang Dao and Wen Qiao Gengliang also planned to give Yunfeng an official position to stay in the capital, and then slowly think of ways to deal with him. However, to their surprise, a man named Wu, headed by Yangzhou Dazhongzheng Lu Ye,

scholar

However, the clan resolutely opposed it. These people were clinging to death because Yunfeng was not from a noble family and could not be employed in the court. Even if he stayed in the court, he could only be a minor official below the fifth rank! A third-rank state shepherd would be willing to concurrently serve as a minister.

A minor official?

It can be said that this is a result of many losers, including Sima and his son, Wang Dun and Wang Dao brothers, Wen Qiao Gengliang, and even Yunfeng himself would not be satisfied if he knew about it! But even with Wang Dun's power, he could not refute. Since

Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, people who have no gentry status cannot

Holding an official position above the fifth rank, and only those with a second rank family can hold high positions. There is no way. The first rank is a saint like Confucius, so he is in vain, while the second rank and below are all lower ranks. This is the rule and rule.

Wang Dun did not dare to destroy the foundation easily.

Yunfeng's status as the shepherd of Liangzhou is a special case. Firstly, Liangzhou is free from the imperial court and is called a minister of Jin, which is actually a country. Secondly, all the male members of the Zhang family have died, so Yunfeng comes in the name of Zhang Shi's son-in-law.

Only then did inheritance gain a foothold in theory and law.

Another special case is Tao Kan, who came from a humble background and became the governor of Guangzhou with his military exploits. Moreover, his qualifications and reputation are commendable. However, neither Yunfeng nor Tao Kan could even hope to obtain the status of aristocrat.

Due to his identity, the Huaxian Sect has been campaigning for Tao Kan for many years. It has not been successful yet.

The character evaluation of the nobles was in the hands of the nobles surnamed Wu. This was their only say in the court!

Sima Shao had a headache, and he had to rack his brains to keep Yunfeng in the capital. After all, this person wanted to leave, and no one had any excuse to stop him. He had no official position in the court, and the emperor had already visited him. He returned to his place.

The name of the feudal lord is Yanshun!

Sima Shao stretched out his hand and lightly hit his head. Sima Shao ordered several cases to be placed under his head and gave Yunfeng a seat to show his favor.

After several cases were placed by the attendants, Yunfeng saluted and said: "I thank your Majesty, and your Highness the Crown Prince will grant you a seat."

Sima Shao extended his hand and said, "No need to be polite, Qing Yun. Please sit down."

Yun Feng thanked him again and sat down. At this time, Director Wang cupped his hands and said, "General Yun, Shen Chong privately led a crowd to besiege your residence the day before, causing panic among the people. It was indeed reckless. However, there was a reason. General Yun first attacked Song Yi.

Huafang ordered Su Qizhen to beat and kill his son Shen Jin, and Shen Chong lost control of his emotions.

Only then did he lead the crowd to retaliate. After discussion in the court, it was determined that it was more appropriate for the courtiers to fight each other. However, Shen Chong was indeed improper in demolishing the outer fence and entering the capital privately. As a punishment, the court had ordered Shen Chong to be punished.

He was dismissed from his official position and ordered to return to his place of origin. Today, I will report the outcome of this matter to General Yun."

Yunfeng smiled coldly, and also raised his hand: "You are so polite, Master Situ. Big things have been reduced to small things, small things have been reduced to small things, hello, me, hello, everyone, Chaoting and Xini's abilities are greatly admired by the general!" After saying that, he suddenly stood up.

He stood up, walked forward and saluted Sima Rui and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to tell you!"

Director Wang sighed secretly, knowing that this man was looking for trouble. The result of handling Shen Chong was unanimously agreed by the Chancellor, so he gave Xi Jian a look, and Xi Jian quickly stopped: "General Yun, wait a minute. , you have no official position in the court. According to the rules, even if you have something to report, you must submit it to His Majesty through the Chancellor's Desk. After leaving the court, General Yun can seal the memorial and hand it to me, and the Chancellor's Desk will read it first!"

Yunfeng knew that Xi Jian was right, there was indeed such a rule, but he was here to cause trouble, so he turned around and asked, "Excuse me, who is this..."

Xi Jian stood up and said proudly: "I, Xi Jian, have been appointed to the rank of Shangshu Ling!"

Yunfeng cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that this is the minister's order in person. Please forgive me for my blindness. However, I have heard about it. Emperor Wu hung a drum outside the court to allow the people to go directly to heaven. Although I am a foreign minister, Are they not even as good as the common people? Or has the ancestral system been abolished in this dynasty? Please ask Shangshu Ling to clarify your doubts! Another question, since Your Majesty is in person, is it up to Your Majesty to decide whether the general can do something or not, or is it up to you, Shangshu Ling? The final word?"

This question was a bit serious. Although Sima Rui did not say it, and it was indeed against the rules for Yunfeng to play directly, he still had to do the superficial work. Xi Jian's face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and asked Sima Rui. He bowed and said: "I ask your Majesty to make a decision!"

Sima Rui's cloudy eyes lit up, and he nodded and said: "General Yun is in a remote area, and it is rare for him to come to the capital. What's the harm in setting an example? Let's just listen for now. What do you think?"

Wen Qiao took it and said: "Yes, it doesn't matter if you break this case. There is no need for Dao Hui to embarrass General Yun. If it is unreasonable, it will not be too late to reject it."

Although Wen Qiao is at odds with Yunfeng, his bigger enemy is Wang Dun and Wang Dao brothers. He also hopes to use Yunfeng's hand to cut off Wang Dun's arm. However, Shen Chong's official can be reinstated at any time, but he wants to see Let's see what Yunfeng can do to make Shen Chong completely unable to stand up.

Xi Jian was similar to Xun Song. He was also a centrist and did not lean towards any party. He pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Forget it, General Yun, please speak!"

Yun Feng gave another salute to Sima Rui: "I thank your Majesty. The day before yesterday, Shen Jin uttered arrogant words in front of everyone on the boat, slandering your Majesty and insulting the prince. Everyone present can testify. This is a fact and there is no need to argue. I Although I want to kill Shen Jin out of righteous indignation, this person’s words can be considered as a treason plan, which cannot be offset by his death. I ask that Shen Jin’s body be abandoned in the market for three days!”

Everyone, including the Sima family and his son, were secretly disdainful. Perhaps they were trying to compete for Song Yi? However, Shen Jin did speak rudely first, and no one refuted it for a while. They were all waiting to hear what he had to say before speaking.

Yun Feng continued: "There is a saying that if you fail to educate, it is your father's fault! Shen Jin's treachery is closely related to his father Shen Chong, otherwise how could he dare to make such nonsense? It must have been influenced by his father's ears and eyes. , and those who have conspired to commit great rebellion against the laws of the Jin Dynasty should be punished by the clan. In order to do their best to eliminate evil, warn the subjects, and safeguard the reputation of the royal family, I ask your Majesty to issue an order to punish the nine clans of Shen and Chong!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! Wang Dun, who had never spoken a word, could not restrain his anger. This man is too crazy. What does it mean to be arrogant? Yunfeng is arrogant!

Sima Rui and Sima Shao both saw joy in each other's eyes! The rumor that Niu succeeded Ma was a heartache for the father and son. It would be a great pleasure to find out the Yixing Shen family as a model and deal with it. Who dares to talk nonsense anymore?

And for so many years, it has never been so comfortable to hold a court meeting. Every time, it is discussed at the Chancellor's desk and then submitted to be stamped and decreed. But this time there are obvious changes. It is a pity that Yunfeng is not a court official, otherwise, The court was monolithic, and the situation of unanimously targeting the Sima clan would be completely broken. Suddenly, they felt that it would not be a bad thing to introduce a powerful warlord like Yunfeng who was not from a noble family in the court, at least better than Liu Wei and Diao Xie. This kind of waste is much more useful.

Director Wang was also slightly angry and couldn't help scolding: "General Yun, don't you think it's too much? Shen Jin just made a blunder while drunk. It's up to the court to decide how to convict, how can it be beyond your control? What's more, Shen Jin is already Since he is dead, this matter should be taken care of, so how can he continue to struggle with it? Could it be that General Yun wants to use this to avenge his private revenge? "

Yun Feng snorted coldly: "I don't agree with this statement of the Grand Situ. Shen Jin openly slandered Your Majesty in many places on the boat. This has never happened since ancient times. He has already been given an advantage before he is determined to commit rebellion! Just imagine, if he is not severely punished, Is it true that in the future everyone can speak nonsense in front of the throne of the emperor? If things go on like this, how can the imperial court remain in chaos? How can the country of Zuo survive forever?"

"This... in short, this is the result of the agreement at the Chancellor's desk!" Wang Daoqiang said rationally.

Yun Feng frowned, but Xun Song blinked at him to show his patience, turned around and saluted Sima Rui and said: "General Yun's words are reasonable. The Shen family is indeed guilty of serious crimes, but we cannot promote talents in the court." The usage of the nobles is not as good as that of the powerful. Even if the nobles have a way to kill, it is like cutting down a beautiful tree. It makes people feel sad when they see it. Moreover, this person has not really rebelled. In my opinion, Evian As the general said, Shen Jin will abandon the city for three days as a punishment! And Yixing Shen will be deprived of his status as a nobleman. If he does it again next time, he will be punished without mercy!"

Yun Feng could hear Xun Song's words. If he was deprived of his status as a nobleman, he could not serve as an official. Even if he did, he could only be a minor official. He could accept this treatment for the time being. He did not expect that the court would really come down. It's a tricky thing. To punish the Shen family, you must have the right time and not rush it. Moreover, Xun Siong's face must be given, and he still lives in someone else's house.

"Hmph!" Wang Dunze snorted heavily, very dissatisfied. Before he could say anything, Lu Ye had already said displeasedly: "Whether Shen Jin abandons the market is not within my authority! But I am the Yangzhou Dazhongzheng. I do not agree to deprive the Shen family of their noble status!"

It turns out that Dazhongzheng served as the Zhongzheng official of the state according to his place of origin. When assessing the rank of the nobles, Dazhongzheng made the decision alone, and then reported the results to Situ, and finally the court appointed him as an official according to the highest rank. In other words, righteousness rises and sinks. Lu Ye alone has the final say as to whether the Shen family should be expelled from the imperial family. Since the Shen family belongs to a noble family with the surname Wu, Lu Ye will not sit idly by and ignore it.

Director Wang was slightly startled. This was an unexpected surprise. He quickly gave Wang Dun a wink and signaled that he would implement this result. In politics, concessions are always required, and Shen Jin's abandonment of the market was a concession! From Director Wang's point of view, this was actually a good thing, as it might arouse the righteous indignation of the Wu gentry towards Yunfeng and the imperial court, and possibly win them over.

Wang Dun also considered this and nodded slightly in agreement.

Wang directed Yunfeng and asked: "Shen Jin abandoned the city for three days and Shen Chong handled it according to the decision of the Chancellor. Is General Yun satisfied?"
