...

Liu Ce's words were already very clear. It is impossible for everyone to live and die like before. If they don't have the ability, they have to just roll the bed and get out of here.

How can officials who are used to being fond of iron rice bowls accept this? Although they have heard of the agreement signed by Liu Ce and Wei family, they know that the country and country of the Great Zhou Dynasty will soon change their names, but if they lose the support of civil and military officials, can you, Liu Ce, sit on the throne with peace of mind?

Thinking of this, Wen Yanzhao said to Liu Ce with a gloomy expression: "I dare to ask the King of Han, what is the content of this official assessment, so that everyone can have a clear idea and avoid being at a loss at that time..."

When Liu Ce heard this, he laughed in his heart. What he told you now is that it is no different from cheating in the exam room before?

However, he didn't care: "This assessment is related to the future of the ministers in the palace. The Lord mainly focuses on political achievements in recent years. Then he will ask you some opinions on local civil affairs and related knowledge issues. I hope you are mentally prepared."

Now, all the officials in the hall were stunned. Their ruling level was at most to deceive those illiterate illiterates who could not read. Everyone knew the truth. Once Liu Ce started the assessment, he would definitely return to his original form.

At that time, with everyone's understanding of Liu Ce, I am afraid that not only will my official title be unable to be guaranteed, but once some unknown dark stories are dug out, I am afraid that my head will have to move.

No, the official assessment must not be allowed to continue!

Soon, the civil and military officials in the Tai Chi Hall "unity and consensus" were "together and reach a consensus", which means that Liu Ce's assessment of officials should be wiped out no matter what.

After a brief silence in the Tai Chi Hall, Wen Yanzhao stepped out and bowed to Liu Ce and said, "King of Han, please think twice before you act. After all, this matter is not a small matter. Once there is a change, it will involve the entire country and country..."

When Liu Ce heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly. He could hear a faint dissatisfaction in Wen Yanzhao's tone, which was obviously against the official assessment matters.

But how could Liu Ce, who had been tempered for many years, compromise with the threat in front of him?

He only heard him smile faintly and said, "Taiwei Wen, why are you insisting on asking me to refuse the official assessment? Could it be that I am afraid that I will find out that there is something ulterior motive for you?"

Wen Yanzhao said: "King of Han, the assessment of officials is of great importance. Now all parts of the Central Plains are in trouble. We should make it safe and pacifying the people's hearts first. We should not waste this energy on these trivial matters."

"A trivial matter?" Liu Ce was immediately amazed by Wen Yanzhao's words when he heard this. "Which Taiwei Wen means that officials embezzle and accept bribes, fish and bribes, the people, the treasury is empty, the court's corruption, and the situation where the people live in misery are all trivial matters?"

Wen Yanzhao brows tightly and immediately said, "I don't mean this..."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Ce roared angrily, interrupting Wen Yanzhao's words, and his tiger eyes stared at Wen Yanzhao tightly.

"As important officials in the court, you are still in the process of declining but don't want to change. You are only planning how to make profits for yourself. I really think that I don't know what you are all thinking?"

Liu Ce's roar was accompanied by a faint tiger roar, echoing in the Tai Chi Hall, shocking the officials with ulterior motives that even dared not breathe.

I saw Liu Ce coming to the main hall, looking back and forth at the officials with their necks shrank, and sneered:

"I know that you have used your rights to do many shameful things, and you all know that you have reached your hands where you shouldn't.

In the past, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty might not care, but now, I can tell you clearly that this is different from the past and I want to continue to live a stable life.

It is best to do all your responsibilities and correct your previous attitude of living a life of dying! Otherwise, I promise that you will live in fear all the time, and you will understand it?"

Liu Ce's rumor made the entire Tai Chi Hall silent, and most people didn't dare to raise their heads.

"Since the King of Han insisted on this, the old minister planned to retire and return home, and hoped that the King of Han would approve..." At this time, Wen Yanzhao bowed and submitted his resignation to Liu Ce.

However, Liu Ce didn't even look at Wen Yanzhao, and he held his hands on his back and said lightly: "Sorry, before the official assessment is over, even if he resigns, he will still be considered as a political achievement in office. He is not allowed to leave the capital at all!"

Wen Yanzhao was stunned and said to Liu Ce in a trembling voice: "King of Han, do you really want to do so amazingly?"

"Absolute?" Liu Ce sneered, "Since everyone in the palace has sweared to call themselves pillars of the country, why are you afraid of the assessment of officials? Or do you have ghosts in your heart and don't want me to know the dirty things you do?"

The hall was silent again. They understood that Liu Ce was not as easy to fool as the Wei family, and they were afraid they would come to the real world.

But did he really dare to attack the entire government and the country? You must know that there are 40,000 or 50,000 officials in this capital. Liu Ce really dares to take action? How wide is the involvement and how big the impact is, will he not know?

"It's okay, it's all gone. It's better if such a court cannot open!"

Seeing that everyone in the hall was like sculptures, Liu Ce's eyes were filled with disgust and waved his hand to end the court meeting.

After Wen Yanzhao and his officials left with a sad look, the only three did not leave, namely Xi Man, Yao Zhong and Meng Gong's father Meng Gu.

Yao Zhongzheng came to Liu Ce in a formal manner and bowed and said, "King of Han, I confess that I have indeed received some money from the officials in recent years, because..."

Liu Ce stopped and smiled and said, "No need to say much about Censor Yao. I understand your situation. The money you collected is also for the expenses at home. If the king expected it was not bad, you have not received your own salary for two years, right?"

Yao Zhong was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Liu Ce had already sent someone to investigate his situation.

It is said that Yao Zhong's family is quite rich, but there have been many changes in the capital over the years, especially after the Qiang people robbed the capital, the people in the city needed to be comforted. He spent all his money and tried to calm the people who suffered losses. Over time, the family naturally became more and more lonely.

As a last resort, Yao Zhong accepted the bribe from the lower officials and used his authority to deal with some not very special affairs. He also did not receive much, so he only subsidized his family income.

Seeing that Yao Zhong was at a loss, Liu Ce stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Chief Yao, don't worry too much. I know what I know. You still need to take care of the future affairs of the court."

"Thank you... King Han..."

Yao Zhong's tone was a little choked and he solemnly bowed to Liu Ce.

Meng Gu and Xi Man, who were beside him, also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. The reason why they stayed was to confess their dark side to Liu Ce. They thought Liu Ce would be furious, but looking at the current situation, it seemed a bit unexpected.

After comforting Yao Zhong, Liu Ce looked at Meng Gu and Xi Man again, and said with a calm expression: "Two Grand Marshals, you don't have to say much. I am not a merciless person. No one is perfect, but I will ask you to set an example for all officials in the future. Don't make mistakes again."

Meng Gu and Xi Man sighed in their hearts, and then thanked Liu Ce at the same time.

After the three of them left, Wu Sidao, who had been listening in the hall, came to Liu Ce and said, "King of Han, please forgive me for saying that you seem to be a little impatient in handling this matter..."

Liu Ce asked, "How can I see it?"

Wu Sidao replied: "The King of Han, the capital is no better than other places. The relationship between court officials and localities is complicated. The King of Han is now barely gaining a foothold in the capital. He should not be so extreme.

Of course, my subordinates did not doubt the ability of the Han King, but just felt that the Han King should delay this matter for the time being, at least it would not be too late to wait until Chief Lu and his friends lifted Huang Fu's threat to the capital."

Liu Ce sighed: "Mr. Wu, why don't you know what you said? It's just that some things are resolved earlier, the more beneficial it is. Nowadays, the more peaceful the Central Plains are.

The south has not yet been recovered, and there are Hu people staring at the frontier. The chaos in the Central Plains is far from coming to take a breath. I want to concentrate all the scattered forces and wipe out threats from both inside and outside in one fell swoop!

Among them, the decision-making of the central government is the top priority. If you don’t replace all the waste that is in corpse, you will not have enough careful and detailed plans to deal with the complicated situation in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wu Sidao certainly understood that everything Liu Ce said was true, but he still advised: "King of Han, I am afraid that those magnates with bones will secretly do things and hinder your plan.

The number of officials in the entire capital is too large, and the Intelligence Department will never grasp their dark side in less than a month. If the official assessment is wrong this time, I am afraid that it will have a significant negative impact on the reputation of the King of Han in the future..."

Liu Ce was silent. He knew that what Wu Sidao said was reasonable. The dark side of tens of thousands of officials could not be controlled overnight, and this was indeed very difficult to deal with.

However, his plan was to start with the important officials in the hall today, and then penetrate downward step by step, completely uprooting the corrupt forces entrenched in the capital.

"You report to the King of Han, Xu Wenjing brings people to ask for a visit~"

"Super him come in~"

At this moment, Jiao Luo came to report that Liu Ce and Wu Sidao had their correct expressions, and then stood in the hall with a calm expression on their faces.

After a while, Xu Wenjing led Wang Zhi and a man in a cloak to enter the Tai Chi Hall under the leadership of Wei Ding.

"I have met the King of Han..." As soon as I saw Liu Ce, Xu Wenjing immediately saluted and greeted me.

When Wang Zhi, who was beside him, he nodded secretly when he saw the rumored Liu Ce.

Liu Ce waved his hand and asked Xu Wenjing to get up, then looked at Wang Zhi and said, "I guess this is the helmsman of the Ghost Market, Master Wang Zhi?"

Wang Zhi hurriedly bowed his head respectfully and said, "The King of Han has ruined the civilians. In front of you, I dare not call him Master. Please call the King of Han to call him the civilians' name..."

Liu Ce smiled and said, "You are too polite. I haven't thanked you yet. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have stood in this imperial city so quickly.

I know the purpose of your visit today, don't worry, I am trustworthy. Since Xu Wenjing promised you the conditions, I will make a promise.

However, everything has to wait until the situation is stable, so that I can leave some business in the dark to you with confidence, and you will not regret your original decision."

Wang Zhi was extremely excited and hurriedly said to Liu Ce: "The King of Han is indeed as generous and happy as the rumors. It is the honor of the little people to be able to serve the King of Han. Today, the little people come here and give a small gift to meet. I hope the King of Han will accept it with a smile..."
