All ministries are considered "relationship households", and Chu Qing doesn't want to quarrel with each other. There is only one government office he wants to target, Honglu Temple.
At this time, outside the gate of Honglu Temple, an old man was walking out shakily, wearing an extremely shabby Confucian robe.
The old man's surname is Fang, and his name is Fang Ping. He is fifty-five years old this year. Not to mention Honglu Temple, he is considered senior in the capital and even in the officialdom of Dachang Dynasty.
Not only is he senior, but his official position is also quite powerful. He is in charge of the eighth rank, and he is a subordinate. He is in charge of the eighth rank.
He entered the official position in his early twenties and worked for forty-five years before reaching the eighth rank. He was the only one in the entire Chang Dynasty.
Lao Fang was supposed to retire last year, thinking about taking up the last post, which happened to be exactly forty-five years, and then this post was still standing... and everyone in Honglu Temple was taken over.
Last year, when Chu Qing served a pot to Honglu Temple, there was only one square meter left.
At that time, Fang Ping was also taken to Qianqi Camp. Chu Qing asked the old man what rank he was in. Ertong said he was in eighth rank, so he was the one who followed. In the end, Ertong was kicked by his third brother. He was sixty-five years old and had worked for forty years. In the coming year, why would he be arrested from the eighth rank? Even if the old man cried and shouted that he was a corrupt official, no one would believe him.
Honglu Temple was taken away in one fell swoop, leaving only one square square. It was not possible to leave, and it had to wait for new officials to fill the vacancy.
Lao Fang was quite optimistic about his fate and just waited. After waiting for half a year, the officials were finally here.
Today is the day when Lao Fang bids farewell to officialdom completely, just half a year late.
The forty-five-year old official had been in Honglu Temple for most of his life, but no one saw him off. Even the gatekeeper said to take care of himself.
Standing in front of the Honglu Temple, Lao Fang shed two turbid tears.
No matter how many times he saw the ugliness of Honglu Temple, he had to say goodbye to this place eventually. What he disliked was the people, not the government offices.
The patched baggage and two old ancient books were all his belongings. After leaving Beijing, he returned to his hometown to visit his wife's grave.
"Someone on our side, from now on, will be dressed in white."
Fang Ping sighed deeply, straightened his clothes, and saluted towards the main entrance of Honglu Temple.
After the ceremony, Fang Ping raised his head and heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in his ears, which was very dense.
Turning around, I saw dozens of knights galloping towards the gate of Honglu Temple, each with a fierce look on their face.
Fang Ping was startled and quickly took a few steps back. Just as the leading knight was about to speak, he suddenly saw Fang Ping, who looked slightly different.
"Old man, are you an official of Honglu Temple?" Wang Tongtong asked: "Why do you look so familiar?"
Fang Ping narrowed his eyes and recognized it for a long time: "You are... you are..."
"By the way, you are from the eighth grade."
After Wang Tongtong finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Except for this old man, all the officials of Honglu Temple were captured and taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the detective horses from the Thousand Cavalry Camp dismounted one after another, took the ropes and rushed in.
Wang Tongtong also dismounted, came to the shocked Fang Ping, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you wear official robes?"
Fang Ping was stunned as he looked at the bandit-like explorers. After a long while, he asked cautiously: "Arresting people again?"
Wang Tongtong: "Yes."
Fang Ping was a little confused: "Catch them all?"
"yes."
"No one left?"
"Just keep you."
"Come again?" Fang Ping said aggrievedly, "But I have retired and still..."
Fang Ping let out a long sigh before he said the word "township".
Come on, what's the point? Let's continue to use the remaining heat. Now in the capital, he is probably the only person who is proficient in Liang and Ying, except for those in prison.
Fang Ping squatted down tremblingly, unpacked his bag, and took out his official robe. Fang Ping squatted next to the stone lions and started counting, fearing that missing a few would affect his position as the first brother of Honglu Temple.
It is worth mentioning that before Chu Qing's debut, Fang Ping's biggest wish in his life was to go to court. After being an official all his life, he had never even entered the palace. It must be said that this was a great regret in life.
Later, after Chu Qing served Honglu Temple, Fang Ping's dream finally came true.
However, after only two months of service, the officials were all replaced, and many new officials secretly laughed, saying that it was a big joke that a low-ranking eighth-level official could go to court.
Looking back now, regardless of whether it is funny or not, at least Fang Ping has to go to court on behalf of Honglu Temple again.
This arrest was quieter than the last time.
The same thing happened all at once. The last time the Qianqi Battalion came to arrest people, they encountered many people who resisted, each one more arrogant than the other.
During this arrest, the officials of Honglu Temple were extremely quiet. Even Shaoqing lowered his head, looking resigned to his fate.
Since the court came down at noon today, everyone had already had a premonition, but they didn't expect that the Qianqi Camp would come so quickly. The commander of the Qianqi Camp, as expected, was not willing to wait for more than a day as rumored.
The capital is still the same capital. Because of Chu Qing, the storm is surging, and because of the Qianqi camp, the aristocratic families and officials are frightened.
At this time, Chu Qing was still in the academy, in a small courtyard.
There are many small courtyards on the west side of the academy. This was decided by Chu Qing when he first planned the academy. They can be regarded as "teachers' dormitories".
Chu Qing naturally also left a small courtyard for himself, but it has been occupied by Tao Ruolin recently.
Fu San and Bi Hua both sat at the stone table, staring at each other.
Chu Qing was sitting on the steps of the second-story building, with Tao Ruolin nestled in his arms.
"Fu San is suing the dog officials and family members of the Third Border Road." Tao Ruolin said with a smile on her face, "Only you can think of it."
"It's not what I think, it's what the third brother thinks."
Chu Qing wrapped Tao Ruolin's hair around his fingers and shrugged: "According to the "Chang Law", no one will be spared. It depends on the reaction of these aristocratic families in Beijing. If they are looking for trouble, then go to the line and accuse them. Practicing privileges and ignoring the law."
"If we just watch the changes and remain indifferent, other aristocratic families will become suspicious of them and become disloyal, right?"
"That's what I mean."
"I see, these aristocratic families in Beijing will not act rashly. Now that you have returned from military exploits, no matter how partial Chang Chengyou is to you, others will never be able to say no. Your military exploits are so great that no one can match you. , taking advantage of this great achievement, it is a good strategy to cut through the mess quickly before the court proposes a reward."
Chu Qing nodded, he also planned this.
I dare not say that the disaster of Liang Rong has been completely solved, but the Liang thieves definitely did not dare to attack. Chang Chao has also taken the initiative. With this credit, he can basically "act recklessly" in the capital, and take advantage of With military exploits at his side, he was able to deal with the aristocratic family in the capital with thunderous force and get rid of some people who should have been eliminated long ago. The officials in the court could only turn a blind eye.
The "public trial" of the corrupt officials and members of the aristocratic families in the three border areas is only his first step. As for the last step, he will target the aristocratic families in the capital. Once he succeeds, it will definitely be impossible for there to be no aristocratic families in the capital. But these The aristocratic family in Beijing will definitely keep their tail between their legs and conduct a major blood change.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Chu Qing chuckled: "Do you remember what you promised me before I left?"
"Remember, I will marry you."
Chu Qing was excited: "Then..."
"Wait until you deal with the Jingzhong family."
Chu Qing looked frustrated: "We have to wait again?"
Tao Ruolin put her head close to Chu Qing's ear, exhaled like blue, and whispered something.
Chu Qing, who looked frustrated, suddenly became excited and nodded repeatedly.
