Princess, the lord has come to beg for marriage again!

Chapter 849 gave him a nickname, Mad Dog.

Chapter 849 gave him a nickname, Mad Dog.

Just as Dugu Xuejiao sneaked out of the dungeon, she just stood firm when she was startled by a hand that was suddenly slapped on her shoulder, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Before she could react, the king in her arms had already extended her head, baring her fangs at the owner of that hand.

"Jiaojiao, is that you?"

Dugu Xuejiao's mind was running at high speed, when she heard a familiar voice, the tense strings instantly loosened.

She turned her head, trying to pull out a small smile.

"It's you, Brother Mingshi, why are you here?"

Jiang Mingshi turned her around and saw the vicious king in her arms. He was stunned for a moment, and took his hand back before it rushed over to bite him.

"I just saw your back in the corridor, and I thought it was very familiar, so I came to have a look, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Dugu Xuejiao glanced at the bushes out of the corner of her eye, grabbed his arm decisively, and walked towards the corridor.

"Ah, I'm here to visit someone in the mansion. You know, this is my uncle's house."

Jiang Mingshi didn't understand, so he followed her back and explained something.

"I'm here to find Commander Shen."

As soon as the two of them walked to the corridor, Dugu Xuejiao paused, her eyes full of apprehension.

"You came to see Commander Shen? Because of official business?"

One of the two is in the Hanlin Academy and the other is in the Jinyiwei. It is really hard to think that there is any relationship between them, unless something happened.

Jiang Mingshi stood under the porch, turned his head to look at the distant scenery, his expression suddenly became solemn.

"That's right, because of business, I want to ask him about the situation."

Dugu Xuejiao smelled something unusual in this short sentence, and even thought of the young prisoner in the dungeon.

Is it related to that person?

With Jiang Mingshi's temperament, literati are very lofty, especially the Jin Yiwei's cold-blooded and brutal way of disregarding human life.

If he hadn't been forced to, he probably wouldn't have come here.

"Commander Shen arrested people from your Imperial Academy?"

Dugu Xuejiao tentatively opened her mouth, but Jiang Mingshi did not deny it, her brows were furrowed, which showed that the matter was serious.

She asked a few more questions, but Jiang Mingshi didn't hide it, and told the ins and outs of the matter.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, hundreds of officials had one rank, regardless of the court, many important official positions in the army were mostly hereditary, which led to the court becoming more and more self-willed, with distinct factions, each acting independently, and colluding with each other.

As early as Emperor Zhaoshun, he intended to abolish this system. This increasingly serious hereditary system seriously hindered the development of Daxia.

Emperor Zhaoshun proposed to separate the ranks of nobility, abolish hereditary succession in the army, and instead use military merit to add officials to rank.

Emperor Zhaoshun took care of everything for this purpose, but it was very difficult to implement it, and the progress was even slower.

The ministers of the court did not dare to disobey the holy will on the surface, but secretly they all wanted to keep their family status.

Until the death of Emperor Zhaoshun, this reform did not succeed, and he was exhausted to death.

By the time of Emperor Yongxin, he was fatuous, greedy for pleasure, obsessed with sex and alchemy, and appointed treacherous ministers, without thinking about reform at all.

Naturally, the Liangjing aristocratic family was happy to see the success, and they rushed to send beauties to the late emperor and invite celestial masters, which made the court more and more corrupt.

And the power of the aristocratic family is getting bigger and bigger, even in the army there are some useless aristocratic sons, let alone going into battle to kill the enemy, killing a chicken probably takes two shakes.

When suppressing the rebellion against the barbarians in Warigang, the army brought by Shen Dai was simply a group of mud that could not support the wall.

If you have no brains, if you have no ability, the whole army will be wiped out in the end.

After Jun Qingchen took the position of regent, he always wanted to continue to implement the reform of Emperor Zhaoshun, fulfill his last wish, clear the court, and make the river clean and the sea clean.

Especially after experiencing the Northwest War, he witnessed the drawbacks of the existing system, and he became more determined to reform.

Since he returned to Liangjing for more than half a year, he has accelerated the implementation of reforms and fought against the entire court with his own power.

Now it has attracted serious dissatisfaction from the aristocratic family, one can imagine how hard it is.

The last time the Northwest suppressed the rebellion, the aristocratic family suffered heavy losses, so they were very resistant to this reform.

Wanting to decentralize power from these old things is tantamount to plucking hair from a tiger's mouth.

But it's not that no one supports him, such as poor students who rely on the imperial examination.

The centrist Bai Taifu, who was also not from an aristocratic family, was also very supportive.

Jiang Mingshi came to look for Shen Yunmo this time because Jin Yiwei captured a person from the Imperial Academy.

This person is a Bachelor of Attendance at the Imperial Academy, named Cui Zong, who is the favorite student of Bai Taifu.

Cui Zong is also a student from a poor family. He studied hard for ten years in the cold window before he was admitted to the Imperial Academy.

He has a more upright temper and a more irritable temper. No matter if he is from a veteran family or a relative of the emperor, when he is impeached, he never looks at his status.

Chaozhong even nicknamed him Mad Dog.

It is said that the gun hits the head of the bird, and he has been biting like this all day long, and many court officials from aristocratic families must think he is not pleasing to the eye.

Especially the civil servant group headed by Pang Taishi.

If Jun Qingchen wants to carry out reforms, they will certainly not sit idly by, but will obstruct it.

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's minion, rather than obeying the little emperor's orders, it is better to say that he is at the mercy of the queen mother.

The little emperor has not yet been in power, and many things are decided by the queen mother, who is the shield of the family.

The more Jiang Ming said, the more angry he became, his face changed, and he punched the pillars in the corridor.

"Jin Yiwei is the Empress Dowager's dog, he can arrest whoever he wants, if he can arrest Brother Cui today, he may arrest Bai Taifu tomorrow.

To be honest, I actually admire the regent, although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go.

If there were more people like the regent in the court, why would the Great Xia Dynasty not be strong!
As long as the Great Xia is strong enough, the surrounding small countries will not start wars at every turn.

When the first emperor was alive, wars broke out frequently, and it was not because of the corruption of the court!
The army is controlled by the aristocratic family, and they have no courage, no strategy and no strength, so they will be coveted and provoked!

It's a pity that the aristocratic families only see their own interests, and the prosperity of the country is not in their consideration at all.

As long as the family can afford good food and clothing, who cares whether there are frozen dead bones on the side of the road. "

Dugu Xuejiao glanced at him, and thought of Jun Qingchen who hadn't shown up for many days.

It turned out that he was fighting against those selfish people again.

While busy fighting against foreign enemies, always guarding against foreign enemy invasion, while also managing this decaying court, can't you be tired?

"So, you are here today for Cui Cong? Even if you see Commander Shen, will he listen to you and let him go?"

Jiang Mingshi is not yet the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, but a Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, a position much lower than that of Shen Yunmo.

He is now confronting the commander of Jin Yiwei, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

When Jiang Ming saw her worried face, he immediately restrained his expression and became calm again, as if he was not afraid of death.

"I know it might be useless, but at least I can remind him and let him think before doing things.

Before I came, I inquired. Cui Cong was not sent to the Imperial Prison, and no one knows where he is now.

I guessed that if the information was true, Cui Cong might have been taken away by Shen Yunmo, so I made up my mind to find him. "

When Dugu Xuejiao heard this, she became more and more sure that the person she saw in the dungeon before was probably Cui Cong.

But she couldn't say it out. This matter involved too much, and it couldn't be resolved in a few words.

Moreover, she couldn't risk exposing herself. If Shen Yunmo knew that she had discovered the dungeon, how would she deal with her?

She is not Shen Qingyi now, and she and Shen Yunmo can be regarded as strangers, without any friendship at all.

Perhaps to him, it was a standing corpse.

If you really want to anger him, you don't know how you died.

Jin Yiwei's insidious means are not rumored.

"Brother tomorrow, it's better for you to react to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you offend him, it's not a good thing."

While talking, footsteps sounded in the distance, and the two turned their heads to look at the same time.

The person who came was Shen Yunmo!
The man's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and he walked slowly. There was a faint sound as the hem of his clothes rubbed against each other.

While the large sleeves are swinging, the flying fish pattern embroidered with dark gold thread is lifelike and radiant.

Looking at it like this, the jade face is light, handsome and noble, as if the person in the dungeon was not him at all.
