Huaiyuantang is walking on thin ice in Youzhou? Maybe when will it be in danger

When these words came out of the mouth of Zhang Taixuan, the newly appointed governor of Youzhou, Zhang Tie almost wanted to touch Count Changfeng's head to see if he had a fever.

Are you kidding? Everything in Huaiyuantang is prospering and good now. Such alarmist words should not be said by people like Zhang Taixuan.

Zhang Taixuan seemed to know what Zhang Tie was thinking. He didn't say anything, but just called to a Dian Shu from the governor's mansion who was waiting beside him. He said something softly and asked him to bring over an official document.

The official bowed and left. Soon, an official document appeared in front of Zhang Tie. Count Changfeng signaled with his eyes. Zhang Tie picked up the official document out of curiosity.

"This is an official document sent to Xuanyuan Hill by the Governor of the Northeast Governor's Mansion. When this official document was sent to Xuanyuan Hill, the Governor also sent a copy. You can take a look at it. Write something.”

Zhang Tie opened it curiously, and was stunned after reading a few lines. The top of the official document was the original text of an impeachment memorial, and below was the reply and refutation of the Northeast Governor's Office.

Zhang Tie never imagined that he himself would become the protagonist of the impeachment memorial.

—"Memorial of Xuanyuanzhiqiu Yushitai Supervisory Yushi Su Qianling's Impeachment of the New Youzhou Court Lieutenant Zhang Mu Shen for Neglect of Duty, Laziness and Neglect of Duty"

This is the title of that memorial. Just looking at the title, Zhang Tie's mouth opened.

After calming down and reading the following article carefully, Zhang Tie's anger started to burn...

In that memorial. I talked about two things about Zhang Tie. The first thing is that Zhang Tie has been in office for more than two months. "I rarely go to Tingwei Temple to handle official business" and "I don't know that the gate of Tingwei Temple faces south and north", so that even the officials in Tingwei Temple don't know what the newly appointed Lord Tingwei "looks like".

The second thing is about what Zhang Tie did in these two months. "Playing with his lovely wife and concubines in Jinguang City every day", "Drinking and having fun at home all day long", "Buying and hoarding land and property in Youzhou".

The writing in the memorial is clever. Although the two things mentioned are true, under Na Shenghua's wonderful writing, these two things are interspersed and told from beginning to end. A man who has just become a Youzhou Tingwei The image of a nouveau riche who is shallow in nature, rude and vulgar, lustful and immoral, and greedy for money and lazy people suddenly appears on the paper. Anyone who sees this kind of person will probably be able to spit out their saliva.

Then the story changed. Pointing directly at Zhang Tie's vital point.

"In the peaceful years, it would be a great blessing for the world to have Tingwei at ease. However, in these troubled times, there are demon clans raging outside our vast Taixia. They are pressing closer and closer, and wars are raging everywhere. Hundreds of millions of Chinese soldiers are waiting for danger, or they are Demon clans are fighting bloody battles in various battlefields; the Tongtian Sect takes the opportunity to cause chaos in the place. Trouble is everywhere, evil spirits are waiting for the opportunity, dragons and snakes are ups and downs, and the wind and rain are swaying. Countless people are suffering from it... In these troubled times, a state official only knows If you are greedy for beauty and wealth, and do not think about serving the public in this time of crisis. If you only care about selfishness, it will be a great misfortune for the world... "

to the end. The picture of the memorial is so poor.

"My minister Su Qianling has plans for the people of Youzhou and for the world. He writes a letter to impeach Youzhou court official Zhang Mushen, and implores him to be punished for the crime of neglect of duty and to correct the rules and regulations..."

In this memorial, if Youzhou was renamed, and Zhang Tie, who became the protagonist, was renamed, and the other words were left unchanged, Zhang Tie would definitely rise up in anger after reading it, and scold the corpse-eater with righteous indignation. The mediocre Tingwei felt that under the rule of that Tingwei, the people of that state must be miserable. And when that person turned into himself, after reading the memorial, Zhang Tie felt furious, and a feeling of resentment at being framed and wronged surged in his chest.

After a moment of excitement and the anger in Zhang Tie's chest gradually subsided, a question arose in Zhang Tie's heart - who is this bastard Su Qianling? I have only been in Taixia for a few months, and I have never met this guy. They are thousands of miles apart. What is this guy doing when he is full and biting me for no reason

Not to mention this Su Qianling, I have never offended anyone named Su. What's going on? Xuanyuan Hill was originally the place that Zhang Tie was most fascinated by, but Zhang Tie never thought that even before he had seen what Xuanyuan Hill looked like, people in Xuanyuan Hill had already begun to sprinkle bad medicine on him. Come.

This memorial was sent directly from the Yushitai in Xuanyuan Hill to Da Sikong, one of the three princes of Taixia, for his viewing. Da Sikong read it and without approving a single word, he threw it directly to the Northeast Governor's Mansion, asking the Northeast Governor's Mansion to self-examine and reply. , the reply from the Northeast Governor's Office only had two words, it couldn't be more brief - fart! Just these two words, in this official document, can be described as extremely overbearing and arrogant. Seeing the two-word reply submitted to the Northeast Governor's Mansion, Zhang Tie thought of the cold words of the Governor. With a dark face, his heart felt inexplicably warm.

Zhang Tie took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Taixuan. He knew that Zhang Taixuan must have something to say.

"Do you know what the punishment will be for a knight like you in Taixia who is accused of dereliction of duty?" Zhang Taixuan asked Zhang Tie quietly.

Zhang Tie shook his head. This thing was not written in Taixia Law, so he really didn't know about it.

"If a knight commits the crime of neglecting his duty, he will be beheaded in the army. He will be dismissed from office in the local area and sent to the abyss of the Earth Realm to fight with the demons. He will not be allowed to return to the surface for sixty years, that is, for a period of sixty years. In the abyss of the Earth Realm, the chance of an ordinary knight surviving a battle with the demons is less than one-fifth. As the governor of Youzhou, if you are convicted and exiled, I will also bear joint and several liability. The same will be true for you. Within this period, I can’t go any further in Taixia’s official career! And from now on, key positions like Youzhou Tingwei will probably be held by people outside the Zhang family.”

After hearing Zhang Taixuan's words, Zhang Tie's expression changed. If this were to happen, that little memorial would be like a poisonous arrow that would kill his family. If he was really convicted of dereliction of duty, Being sent to a place like the abyss of the Earth Realm, not only did he get in, but his mother at home didn't know if she could withstand such a blow. He was so concerned about her even on the ground. If her mother knew that he was going to be Being sent to a place like the abyss of the Earth Realm wouldn't cost half his mother's life.

He cannot return to the ground for 60 years. Even if he can come back alive in the future, Zhang Tie simply cannot imagine what his parents, Linda, and the others will look like in 60 years.

The vicious intentions in the seemingly impassioned words are simply chilling.

What does it mean to kill without blood? This is it!

Zhang Tie finally understood why Zhang Taixuan lamented that Huaiyuantang was walking on thin ice in Youzhou and was in danger.

"Who is this Su Qianling? I have no grievances against him. I have never met this person before. This is the first time I have heard of his name. Why does he target me like this?" Zhang Tie looked directly at Zhang Taixuan and suppressed his emotions. Angry asked.

Earl Changfeng sighed and spread his hands, "The censors of Xuanyuan Hill Censor Station supervise all officials in the world. There are 360 censors in the Censor Station, known as the Censor of Zhoutian. After seeing Before this memorial, I didn’t know that there was a figure like Su Qianling among the censors.”

"You don't know either?" Zhang Tie was surprised.

Earl Changfeng nodded, "It doesn't actually matter who this Su Qianling is. This person is just a tool and chess piece in the hands of others in this matter. But there is one thing you said wrong. This Su Qianling is targeting It's not you, but our Huaiyuantang Zhang family. If we can defeat you, it will be equivalent to defeating the entire Huaiyuantang. Because you are now the youngest, most famous and most promising elder in Huaiyuantang, so they also I just chose you as my target, wanting to tear a hole in you so that Huaiyuantang cannot hold its head high in Youzhou and shake the foundation of the entire Huaiyuantang!"

"Them? Who are they? Does our Huaiyuantang have any enemies in Taixia?"

"Who in the world has no grievances?" Zhang Taixuan sighed and looked at Zhang Tie seriously, "Have you ever thought about why our ancestor Huaiyuan Gong was not in Taixia but wanted to go far away to be powerful? On the Yi subcontinent, where do you go to start a business?"

Zhang Tie was shocked again. He didn't expect that Huaiyuantang's grievances against Taixia were actually left behind by Duke Huaiyuan.

"Those people are Duke Huaiyuan's enemies?"

"He is not only the enemy of Duke Huaiyuan, but also the enemy of our entire Huaiyuantang Zhang family. Without those people, Duke Huaiyuan would not have died in the Diyuan Realm!" At this point, even Zhang Taixuan said it. With a trace of hatred, "This matter involves many people in Taixia. It is a family secret in our Huaiyuantang. In the family, only the elders and some people know it. Originally, I wanted to wait until the next year to find an opportunity to meet with You said, you didn’t expect those people to know that Huaiyuantang had won the position of governor of Youzhou, but they couldn’t wait any longer. They jumped out at the slightest opportunity and were so vicious as soon as they took action. If you don’t know these things anymore, Maybe you will suffer a big loss at some point." At this point, Zhang Taixuan paused and looked at Zhang Tie seriously, "The people who took action against you and Huaiyuantang this time were the Taixia party-eating faction back then?"

"Swallowing the Party?" This name is very strange, and it is the first time Zhang Tie has heard of it.

"The one whom Duke Huaiyuan offended in Taixia was the Tuntang faction. The leader of this faction is now the Crown Prince and Tutor of the East Palace of Xuanyuan Hill. He is a first-rank official and is the most prominent among the three princes, and will also be the most prominent among the three princes in the future. There are countless possible candidates, his disciples and followers, his family has hundreds of cities in Shangzhou, and his family's power is dozens of times that of Huaiyuantang..."

Just hearing this sentence, Zhang Tie had the urge to scold his mother... (...)
