In front of the Jin Yiwei, especially in front of the Jin Yiwei who has received the emperor's order, it is best not to show pretentious behavior or reveal the possibility.

Bai Yuxiu didn't want to pretend at this moment. He only asked this question because he was now the head of the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Jin Yiwei wanted to arrest the officials under his rule.

After asking, Bai Yuxiu frowned, and then realized that she shouldn't have asked, and just let people take her away.

Among the Xinxue classmates in the book and newspaper bureau, there are still many who have never served as officials.

The flag officer of Jinyiwei, who led people into the office of the Wenxuan Company, looked at Bai Yuxiu with a slightly solemn look on his face.

If he hadn't known that the young officer in charge of the Literature and Selection Department in front of him was from the Xinxue sect, a few days ago, through the handwriting of the emperor's grandson, the emperor agreed, and Xie Xueshi brought him to His Majesty. He would have warned him about anything he said.

It’s time.

The commander-in-chief’s eyelids showed a thoughtful expression.

Bai Yuxiu's eyes moved, and he immediately added an explanation: "I first took up the position of the Literature and Selection Department, and everything in the department is complicated. At present, rebels are everywhere in Henan Road and Shandong Road, and the local officials are involved. The imperial court needs to sort out the new officials of the two departments as soon as possible.

The appointment also has to fill the gap of officials requested by the Grand Sun Office to fill the vacancies. The department is complicated and the manpower is insufficient. I hope the general banner will know about it."

The flesh on the face of the flag officer of Jinyiwei, who lowered his eyebrows in deep thought, loosened a little.

This young boss, who is secretly watched by countless elders and whose future is almost limitless, has already given himself a step up.

The chief flag officer coughed lightly and bowed his hand as a return gift, which was also considered as leaving a trace of incense. He looked down at the officials of various departments in the office of the Wenxuan Company.

"It is stated in the edict that this time the Emperor's grandson visited the west and took charge of the relief work in Henan Province. He was arrogant and treacherous, causing chaos and swaying public opinion with the intention of deposing the Emperor's grandson. The affairs of the imperial court, the country, and the foundation of the royal family.

, when will these people be allowed to speak up?"

The flag officer of Jinyiwei asked back, then closed his mouth and glanced at the officials in the office of the literary selection company.

Several people are already fighting with their buttocks and their faces are turning pale.

Bai Yuxiu moved her steps. What the other party said was enough to give her face.

Your Majesty will not tolerate those people interfering in the affairs of the country. He is even more dissatisfied that the emperor's grandson went to the west and took charge of the relief work in Henan Province, but he allowed these people to write a letter to abolish the establishment sooner or later after the rebellion.

What does this mean?

Bai Yuxiu's eyes glanced at the officials in the public room, whose expressions changed greatly after the arrival of the Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers.

There are really a lot of people looking for Xianke and opening courses.

Bai Yuxiu also raised her hands to the approaching flag officer: "The tired flag is released, the flag is light."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yuxiu took the teacup and walked towards the window in the public room that looked out onto the Yamen courtyard.

Outside the window, in each department room of the Libu Yamen, there were figures of Jin Yiwei and officers and soldiers of the imperial family coming in and out. One by one, the officials of the Libu Bureau were taken out of the office by the officers and soldiers and escorted outside the Yamen.

"If someone comes, take him away according to his name."

The flag officer of the Imperial Guard, who was standing in the office of the Wenxuan Company, waved his hand again, and the officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately took out the roster.

All the officials of the Literature and Selection Department who were called out by name trembled all over. Those whose names were not called out quickly walked to Chief Bai Yuxiu who was standing under the window.

An invisible gap appeared in the office building of the small anthology company.

"Take them all away." Seeing that all the people to be arrested were gathered, the general flag officer shouted, and then said to Bai Yuxiu: "I'm sorry to disturb Chief Bai's work, so I'll leave you alone."

Bai Yuxiu turned around and nodded: "Excuse me."

The two ended their brief conversation, and Bai Yuxiu continued to look at the officials outside the window in silence.

The chief flag officer turned around and walked out of the literary selection company's office.

Those detained officials of the Literature and Selection Department acted out a variety of life scenes.

"Master! Master Bai!"

"I'm asking my boss to save me. We haven't done anything. We really haven't done anything."

"Ask the boss to take action."

The officials of the Literature and Selection Department who were taken away began to cry and beg for mercy, hoping to have a chance to survive.

Everyone knows that as long as an official is taken away by the Jin Yiwei, he will basically form a strong bond with death.

Bai Yuxiu looked sideways at these officials who had shied away from her affairs, and remained silent and turned a deaf ear.

Wait until the last person is taken out of the office of the Wenxuan Company by the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard.

Bai Yuxiu's gaze had just been withdrawn from the window, and he walked lightly back to his desk: "There is an official vacancy in Henan Province..."

"Reporting to the chief, there is a vacancy of officials in Henan Province. The list will be sorted out within three days of opening the department."

The officials of the Literary and Selection Department who survived the capture by the Jin Yiwei rushed out to answer the question immediately.

Bai Yuxiu nodded and looked at the remaining people: "Seven or eight people from the Literary and Selection Department have gone to the Literary and Selection Department today. In the past, they probably required a lot of hard work from you all."

After the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers made such a fuss today, the officials in the public house had long lost their so-called morale, and everyone spoke one after another.

"That's my responsibility."

Bai Yuxiu said with a smile: "There is a lot of commotion in the Yamen today. After I go to the Yamen, I will treat you all to a drink."

The surviving officers of several departments immediately said in unison: "It has been a few days since the principal came to the Literature Selection Department. The affairs in the department have been busy recently, so we have been delayed in taking care of the principal. There is probably nothing we can do in the department today, so why don't we take advantage of it?"

Taking this opportunity to go to the Qinhuai River to host a banquet for the principal can be regarded as a break from today's messy affairs."

Jiaofangsi is the housekeeper's place. Although it is also a place of romance, it is not as relaxing as the Qinhuai River, which is ten miles away.

Bai Yuxiu smiled, looked at these officials who were very different from the previous moment, and nodded: "This will cost you all."

As soon as he said these words, there was a burst of laughter in the literary selection company's office, which was completely different from the atmosphere in other places in the official office outside the office.

Not to mention the progress of Bai Xiuyu, a young Xinxue official, in the officialdom.

Outside the official office, Qinglong Street has long been blocked by Jinyi guards and officers and soldiers of the imperial family.

As officials from various ministries and yamen were taken out, Qinglong Street, which was not long, became even more crowded, with people almost leaning against each other, chest against back, and spreading out to Chongli Street in the south.

The White Tiger Lord is killing all the people on the left and right of Baihu Street to the west of Hongwu Gate in Yingtian East City. There are yamen such as the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

As for Qinglong, which governs vitality, on Qinglong Street to the east of Hongwu Gate, there are the Liubu Yamen and the Hanlin Academy, Zhanshi Mansion, Imperial Hospital, and Zongren Mansion Yamen.

At the corner of Chongli Street turning to the north, several young men in green shirts with ink stains on their bodies had their hands clasped together and hidden in their cuffs that had been blackened by ink stains.

A few people stood on the roadside, silently watching everything happening on Qinglong Street.

Hu Wenhai, who has now won two imperial examinations, is observing the politics of the imperial court, and works in the Publishing House and Newspaper Bureau every day. He looks at Sun Qingshu, who is the general manager of the Publishing House and Newspaper Bureau next to him.

Hu Wenhai whispered: "They are all people of Neo-Confucianism."

Sun Qingshu shook his head: "They are all from gentry families. Some of them are from Henan Province, Shandong Province, and some from Huguang and other places."

Hu Wenhai took a few more glances at the chaotic scene on Qinglong Street. Those Beijing officials who were naturally high-ranking in the past were now gray-headed and gray-faced. They lowered their heads one after another for fear of being recognized by their former colleagues in the court. In the presence of the officers and soldiers,

After being detained, he walked up Chongli Street.

Hu Wenhai hesitated and said: "I still don't understand how those people came up with the idea of ​​coercing the so-called public opinion and begging to depose the emperor's grandson. They think that the emperor's grandson can be deposed with just a word from them.

of?"

Sun Qingshu was much older than Hu Wenhai. It was just because of bad luck that he had never been admitted to the imperial examination for these two subjects, so he stayed at the Book and Newspaper Bureau to settle down and work while studying the mind.

As you get older, you should always be calmer.

Sun Qingshu looked at Hu Wenhai with a smile: "Do you think this matter is over today? Do you think our Majesty only has this kind of means and temperament?"

Hu Wenhai's eyes widened, and he asked in amazement: "Your Majesty, the sword that has been hanging for several days has fallen. Is this matter still not settled?"

Behind the two of them, the other younger Xin Xue disciples also looked confused.

Sun Qingshu sneered: "When did your majesty only have this knife? Today is just the first dish on the table."

After finishing speaking, Sun Qingshu waved his robe full of ink spots. Compared with watching these officials being arrested by the Jin Yiwei, he would rather write a few more articles on the principles of Xinxue.

The current situation will be another opportunity for Xinxue.

After making up his mind, Sun Qingshu stopped walking and turned around to let the book and newspaper office walk back.

Hu Wenhai stopped for a while. After all, scenes like today on Qinglong Street are rare, probably only a few times in a lifetime.

Just looking at it, Hu Wenhai found it boring. After these people were sent to prison, they would just be beheaded. Are there not many heads that have been beheaded in Yingtian City over the years?

After thinking about it, Hu Wenhai recalled what Sun Qingshu said earlier.

"They are all a bunch of idiots! Do you think His Majesty has ignored government affairs in the past two years, and that means he really doesn't care about anything?"

Hu Wenhai cursed in a low voice, then shook his head and turned around. He glanced back at several young disciples of Xinxue, and shouted: "Go back, this issue of the magazine will start being sent to Jiaozhi Road."

Yes, you can’t miss the date."

The young people looked at the bustling Qinglong Street and could not move their feet.

Hu Wenhai could only shake his head with a wry smile. Most young people are like this, although he is also young.

Waving his hand, Hu Wenhai, like Sun Qingshu, went back to the book and newspaper office.

At this moment, elsewhere in Yingtian City, because the Jinyi Guards were ordered to arrest the officials of various departments and yamen in Qinglong Street, countless people turned their attention to the East City, to the commander of the Jinyiwei, the yamen and the Imperial City.

Many officials were arrested today, and it was not just limited to the officials on both sides of Qinglong Street. Officials from other government offices in the city were also arrested.

When a person is caught, it is treated as if he has committed something illegal.
