Chapter 175 : Lin Xiang resigns! Jiangzhou is bloody and bloody!(3/3)
Prime Minister Lin Gong took it over and saw it, and his whole body was shocked, like a lightning strike.
Although it is not the first time I have seen it, I have to pretend that I have seen it for the first time.
To be honest, Prime Minister Lin Gong's acting skills are average.
Or at his level, it’s not that he can’t act, but that he is not willing to act. From this perspective, people like Lin Gong and Yan Song are still different. Yan Song is a top expert in the acting school.
After a long time, Lin Gong knelt down and said, "I am guilty, I am guilty!"
The eunuch Hou Zheng said, "Your Majesty asked me to ask you, what should I do in the current situation?"
Prime Minister Lin Gong said: "Kill a group, arrest a group, exile a group, and fall down."
The eunuch Hou Zheng said, "Who to kill? Who to arrest? Who to exile? Who to fall?"
Prime Minister Lin Gong kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is arbitrary. I am guilty and I am guilty!"
The eunuch Hou Zheng said, "Then I will tell His Majesty Lin Xiang's words."
"Let's wait!" Lin Gong knelt on the ground and raised his body, then bowed again and said, "Please tell Your Majesty that all the ghosts and monsters will pass by. Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor. No one can do anything to Your Majesty. Please take care of the dragon body. The subjects of the world look up to Your Majesty, just like the parents of babies. If you get angry, how frightened the people in the world?"
Then, Prime Minister Lin Gong took off his official hat, took off his official robe, and placed it neatly on the table.
"Yuchi Duan is guilty of corruption. As his teacher, I am also guilty. I have no face to lick my face in the cabinet and officially resign from all official positions!" Lin Xiang finally took out a official seal from his arms. This seal once represented one of the highest powers of the entire empire. Only the prime minister of the cabinet owns this private seal.
He glanced reluctantly, and then placed the prime minister's private seal on the official uniform.
"The old minister is guilty and has no face to meet Your Majesty. The old minister is guilty!" Prime Minister Lin Gong kept kowtowing.
The eunuch Hou Zheng nodded and said, "I understand, I will tell His Majesty Lin's words."
After Hou Zheng left.
Lin Gong was still kneeling on the ground and motionless.
The cabinet prime minister stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin, get up. Either sit and wait, or go home and wait!"
Lin Gong bowed and said, "Thank you, Wu Xiang."

The eunuch Hou Zheng returned to the emperor's study and knelt down and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Lin Xiang expressed his shock, apologized for his crimes, and resigned from his official position. He also expressed his intention to avoid suspicion in Jiangzhou, and asked Your Majesty to do his own arbitrary decision."
"Resignation?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and fell into a weighing position.
The eunuch Hou Zheng said: "Your Majesty, do you want to reject it?"
Because the Prime Minister and Second Prime Minister of the Cabinet were too old, they were already prime ministers when Emperor Tianyan was in power.
Faced with such a prime minister who is too old, it is sometimes difficult for the emperor to deal with it.
You can't replace them easily because they did not make any mistakes. But after all, they were not promoted by Emperor Wan Yun, and it is inevitable that they are not very easy to use.
However, Lin Gong was promoted by Emperor Wan Yun and transferred from the Minister of Rites to the cabinet. It was quite easy to use, and it was like a fingering commander.
At this critical moment, once Lin Gong resigns from his position, the cabinet will be even more unsatisfied.
Of course, Emperor Wan Yun is the emperor after all. Even if the Prime Minister and the Second Prime Minister of the Cabinet are old, they will never dare to disobey the emperor's will.
But not daring to disobey does not mean that one obeys completely. Even if one obeys completely, it does not mean that one is 100% execution.
Basically, in every dynasty, the emperor and the prime minister are checking and balancing each other.
Even a hero like Li Shimin was sometimes not well controlled by Wei Zheng and others, otherwise he would not have dug all his tombs after Wei Zheng died, even though it was digging in the name of Wei Zheng being involved in the rebellion of the prince.
For example, it is understandable that Emperor Jiajing destroyed Yang Tinghe, after all, Yang Tinghe made him too ruthless.
But what about the chief assistant Xia Yan? During the great etiquette, he stood by Jiajing and followed Yang Tinghe. But Emperor Jiajing still killed Xia Yan. Wasn't it because this person was not easy to use? Xia Yan has his own position.
Only people like Yan Song are useful. Emperor Jiajing will beat him wherever he says he will beat him. Why did Qin Hui become a traitor? Isn’t it because Zhao Gou, the dog emperor, is it easy to use it?
Once Lin Gong resigns from the prime minister, no one in the cabinet can balance the prime minister and the second prime minister. You can't let Emperor Wan Yun come to an end in person, then you will be decent.
That is why the eunuch Hou Zheng said, is it necessary to reject Lin Gong's resignation?
Emperor Wan Yun said slowly: "Lin Gong wants to avoid suspicion, so let him avoid suspicion. Let the Minister of Justice lead the team, the Censorate and Dali Temple assist in going to Jiangzhou, kill and arrest people!"
Hou Zheng said: "Where is the other side of the Black Ice Platform?"
Emperor Wan Yun said: "Let Nangong Da go!"
Hou Zhengdao: "Yes!"
Emperor Wan Yun said, "Go now."
After a moment!
The Minister of Justice, who was about to go to Jiangzhou, knelt in front of the emperor and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, who should I kill when I go to Jiangzhou this time? Who should I arrest? Who should I dismiss? Please let Your Majesty make arbitrary decision."
"Gan Gang's arbitrary?" the emperor sneered: "Okay, then I will help you to be arbitrary."
Then, he took the list.
On Yuchi Duan's name, he used a blood-red pen to make a big fork.
Xu Fu was already dead, but the Xu family also used a blood-colored pen to make a big fork bigger.
Then, on Duke Shu, he used a blood-red stroke to stroke it, because this person was Xu Fu's in-laws.
It should have been almost the same.
But for some reason, the emperor was particularly eye-catching when he saw Duke Duan Bi of Wei. He recalled it carefully, perhaps because of the book "The East Chamber", which wrote the Duke Cui's family in it too disgusting.
The emperor frowned, took a black pen, and drew a thread on Duke Duan Bi of Wei.
"Okay, I've already made arbitrary decision for you." The emperor threw the list directly over.
The Minister of Justice accepted the list and kowtowed, "I obey the order!"
Then, the Minister of Justice hesitated and said, "What about Ao Xin's family? For example, Ao Yu."
The emperor said: "You don't have to worry about his family's affairs, there are other people to care about it.
The Minister of Justice kowtowed and said, "I obey the order!"
……………………………………
The next day!
Under the protection of the 5,000 Imperial Guards, an unprecedented team of imperial envoys headed towards Jiangzhou.
Although the Minister of Justice seemed to be submissive in front of the emperor, as soon as he left the palace, he immediately became majestic and even domineering.
He entered Jiangzhou City with murderous intent and immediately took over the military power of tens of thousands of troops.
