I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 89
In Yuan Kai's mansion, Yuan Wei sat on the top of the main hall, and below sat a group of Yuan's sons and nephews.

There was silence in the hall, and a needle could be heard. All the Yuan family's nephews were a little uneasy at the moment. They looked at Yuan Kai for a while, and then at the three brothers Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu who were sitting in a row opposite. I don't know how to speak.

Therefore, at this time, everyone can only choose to keep silent.

Who would have thought that Yuan Ji would make such a big move this time.

Use Shanglu Chang and Hai's Shangzuo as an introduction to ask His Majesty to release the party?It caused countless chain reactions.

This matter did not go through Yuan Kai beforehand, but it was Yuan Ji's arbitrary action.

After Yuan Kai knew about this matter, everything was already in operation, and he could only let it go and let Yuan Ji operate this matter.

Now that this matter has reached the present, more and more people are involved in it, and the Yuan family has used more and more contacts, not only Yuan Ji, including Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but also the second generation of the Yuan family's nephews and nephews. Yuan Ji.

Yuan Kai knew in his heart that if this battle was successful, Yuan Ji's reputation among scholars would be unprecedentedly loud, and the old officials of the Yuan family he used this time would also be convinced by him because of this matter, and then they would become one .

If this matter can be accomplished, it will be of great benefit to the Yuan family... But for the first time, Yuan Kai hopes that Liu Hong can stand up and refute Yuan Ji's memorial.

Because of Yuan Ji's move, it also emptied him to a certain extent.

It is imperative to lift the party's shackles. This is a general trend. If it can't be solved this time, there will be a next time. Don't worry.

"uncle!"

With a cry, everyone turned their attention to the door.

It was Yuan Xu, the second generation of the Yuan family, who hurried in.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Yuan Xu.

The critical moment has arrived!

The members of the Yuan family are here today, waiting for news from the Northern Palace. Today, more than sixty court officials and Yilang, including Jiusi and Langshu, went to the palace together to persuade Emperor Liu Hong to lift the party's imprisonment. .

The scale of this remonstrance today is huge, and it can be said that it was Yuan Ji's heavy blow. If it is accomplished today, Yuan Ji's prestige will greatly increase, and the second generation head of the Yuan family may pass on his name to all counties.

It depends on whether the emperor can stand it.

"How's the situation in the palace?" Yuan Ji didn't ask, but Yuan Kai was the first to open his mouth.

Yuan Xu hurriedly said: "Uncle, all virtuous brothers, Your Majesty has issued an edict that the imprisonment of party members since the ancestors will be released."

"Okay!"

"it is good!"

"His Majesty finally let go."

"So, today's move can be regarded as a big victory!"

Although the party shackles have not been completely lifted, there is no doubt that today's news is the most exciting for the scholar group over the years.

Yuan Kai was stunned for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh in his heart.

The sons of the Yuan family in the next generation are all heroes, even Yuan Ji, who he always thought could listen to him and follow the path he pointed out, is so powerful.

This time, His Majesty lifted the shackles of the party, whether it was the timing or the method, the timing was right.

Even the scheming Yuan Wei had to say with admiration that Yuan Ji's ability was even better than himself.

Especially in the past many years, Yuan Ji has been hiding his secrets, and Yuan Wei has never seen that he has such ability.

It's amazing that someone who is so good at hiding is still under my nose!
After listening to Yuan Xu's speech, all the brothers bowed their hands and praised Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji was also not modest, and readily accepted the praise of everyone.

Later, Yuan Ji cupped his hands towards Yuan Kai and said, "Uncle, this matter is of great importance. Whether many famous people in the country can enter the court or not, for many years, Ji has never asked anything about party members, but until now However, there was no push for the party members to release the shackles in the court, and my nephew had no choice but to take action because of the overall situation. Now that the major event has been accomplished, my nephew is willing to accept the punishment, and I also ask my uncle to enforce the patriarchal law."

Looking at Yuan Ji who asked him to be punished in front of him, Yuan Kai was both angry and amused.

At this moment, if you ask me for punishment, don't you want to put the old man on the fire for barbecue?
You have opened a way to undo the party's shackles, and your virtuous name is widely spread in the government and the public. How can this old man be that wicked person?
"Shi Ji, don't do that!"

Yuan Kai opened his mouth slowly, and the old man said with great comfort: "Since my brother passed away, I have been responsible for everything in the family. I wanted you to be the owner of the business and let the old man open the way for you, but I just know today. , the old man misunderstood you, with the ability of my nephew, it is enough to inherit the Yuan family's various careers..."

"Hey, the old man is old, and his heart is not high and his heart is not wide-eyed. Some things should really be left to you."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Kai looked around at the second generation of the Yuan family and said: "From now on, I will only care about the affairs of the court and the affairs of the family. Ask the old man again!"

Yuan Ji hurriedly said: "At this time, how can uncle retreat bravely? Everything in the Yuan family cannot be separated from uncle!"

Yuan Kai said with a smile: "Don't say that, the old man was really worried about you at first, but after this incident, the old man has already seen that you are all mature and have their own strengths. If you are still in charge of family affairs at your age, it is not appropriate."

After finishing speaking, he looked around at the crowd, and finally set his eyes on his three sons.

"Three of you, please worship elder brother!"

After Yuan Kai finished speaking, Yuan De, Yuan Dong, and Yuan Ying got up, came to Yuan Ji, and bowed to him.

Yuan Ji hastily stretched out his hand to help the three disciples.

"Uncle, there are vacancies in the Taichang Office, the Tingwei Office, and the Shaofu. The three virtuous brothers have been silent for a long time. Now the situation is good, and they can enter the court to participate in politics and be loyal to state affairs."

Yuan Kai nodded: "Since you are in charge of the Yuan family, you should be in charge of everything. You three, thank you, brother!"

Yuan Kai's three sons said in unison: "Thank you brother for your support."

Yuan Ji smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, let's cheer up the Yuan family together, and the Yuan family in Runan will have a bright future in the future!"

After the discussions of the Yuan family were completed, everyone got up to bid farewell to Yuan Kai.

After everyone left, Yuan Dong then asked Yuan Kai, "Father, why did you give up power in front of Brother Cong today? You asked me to wait for the three of you to enter the Three Departments according to his wishes? Did father's previous words count?"

Yuan Kai shook his head and sighed: "After all, I underestimated him. He was originally a talented man, but I regarded him as a well-behaved generation. Alas, my father's eyesight... This time the party's ban is lifted, and the discipline is in the limelight. Zhengsheng, at this time, you must follow, so as to secure a good background for the future!"

Yuan Ying said in a low voice: "Father, if I wait for a family like this, after two generations, I will definitely be reduced to the Yuan family..."

"Skills are not as good as people's. It's useless. Because of this, I let you wait to worship today, so that I can take more care of him in the future. Let's follow Shi Ji to revitalize the Yuan family."

"Well..."

……

……

At the same time, Liu Jian prepared a memorial and went straight to the Shangshutai to meet his teacher Lu Zhi.

This memorial is Liu Jian's report on Sima Chengfu in the Yueqi camp, and 37 other officials who embezzled the army's rations and filled their pockets. Hit must hit.

but……

In the era under Liu Hong's rule, the imperial court did not punish officials for their corruption of ink. After all, the emperor always had the virtue of "looking at money and looking high", so how could the people below be better?

Besides, everyone came to this position today after spending money to repair the palace. If the big guys are not allowed to be greedy, who will come to Xiyuan to buy officials in the future?
Therefore, at this time of year, being greedy for personal gain is not considered a major crime, but it cannot be said on the face of it, after all, the imperial court cannot directly encourage everyone to commit corruption.

This era is the real corruption of ten officials and nine corrupt officials. Regardless of which government office they work for, they are basically one-on-one. That's why Liu Jian was able to quickly collect evidence that the people in his camp were greedy for ink.

However, to use this reason to dismiss them and investigate them seems to be against the rules of officialdom in this era.

Therefore, Lu Zhi kindly pointed this matter to Liu Jian, and told him that His Majesty would probably ignore Liu Jian's memorial.

But Liu Jian knew that His Majesty would approve his performance.
