Li Mingfu, who was bowing and kneeling beside Yuan Fu, heard Yuan Fu's sudden resignation, turned in surprise and looked at the old friend beside him who had suddenly had a strong dusk aura on his body and buried his head deeply on the ground. He even forgot that he was in Zhengde Hall at this moment. There was surprise, disappointment, and more fear in his eyes.

Although Zhao Yun's words already meant to ask them to resign on their own initiative, they hadn't said it directly? Since Zhao Yun did not directly say it and took away their official positions, then obviously he was still worried. As long as he and Yuan Fu were thicker, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not respond to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun would never say the words of the two officials who were the ministers and political officials.

However, Yuan Fu did not discuss with him and others, but he took the initiative to ask for retirement and return home. This was no less than putting him, Li Mingfu and the rest of them on the fire and roasting him.

The most safeguarding approach is to follow Yuan Fu and take the initiative to retire, but this is not what Li Mingfu thought. He climbed hard for decades and was already fifty years old before he finally got into the position of deputy prime minister. If he gave up everything now as easily as Yuan Fu, Li Mingfu would not want to do so. But Li Mingfu also knew very well that Zhao Yun had already said it very bluntly. If he didn't voluntarily resign at this moment, he would pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Although he is embarrassed and even leaves a bad impression in front of Zhao Yun, he can save everything he deserves now. As long as he is cautious in his actions and has no major mistakes to be caught, he can keep doing things as a deputy minister. After all, the removal of a deputy minister is too big. In such an opportunity like today, Zhao Yun did not explicitly say that he would dismiss him, Li Mingfu and Yuan Fu, let alone without any mistakes.

What should I do? Li Mingfu kept asking himself in his heart.

Hearing Yuan Fu's words, Zhao Yun remained silent, neither saying agree nor rejection, but stared at Li Mingfu with his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.

The courtiers in the hall were silent.

Although no one looked up, everyone's heart was as clear as a mirror. It's clear, everyone knew very well what Zhao Yun was waiting for for neither agreeing nor rejecting Yuan Fu's resignation for so long. The emperor was waiting for another minister, Li Mingfu, to retire as much as Yuan Fu.

Of course everyone knows that retiring is just a decent statement. To put it bluntly, I hope that Yuan Fu and Li Mingfu can be more sensible and resign themselves voluntarily.

At the same time, the two deputy ministers were asked to resign on their own initiative. Everyone knew that Zhao Yun was preparing to take action to restore the emperor's majesty with Meng Gong's victory and impeachment of Jia Sidao.

After a long time, the hall was still silent. Not only did Li Mingfu, who should have taken the initiative to stand up, did not resign, but even Dong Wenbin, the Right Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the three censors of the censors, even Xu Liangshu, the Imperial College Supervisor, did not make any noise. The ministers in the hall couldn't help but feel a little more watching the show in their hearts.

After a while, Zhao Yun saw that Li Mingfu and others were just kneeling on the ground, and still had no idea of ​​going out to stand up and resigning. He felt a little more disgusted towards Li Mingfu and others. He knew that Li Mingfu obviously wanted to waste his time with him with shame. He withdrew his eyes. Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "The Yuan Qing family is old and the matter of retiring... I'm sure... I'll give Yuan Qing's purple goldfish bags, 100 gold, 1,000 silver taels, and 100 brocade pieces. Yuan Qing's family will return home at any time."

Although I had known that Zhao Yun would definitely be accurate, when the word "quasi-" was actually spoken from Zhao Yun's mouth, all the ministers in the palace were shocked. The officials of the Neo-Confucian school were all entitled to be one by one, and the rest were qualified to be one by one. Facing the position of the deputy minister who was about to be vacant, they looked at each other without looking at each other. Only they themselves knew what they were thinking.

"Old minister thanks Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Yuan Fu was very calm at this moment. When Zhao Yun really said it correctly, Yuan Fu suddenly felt a little relieved for some reason, so thanking His Majesty for a real word in his heart.

"After leaving the censor Shen Yi, Fan Shi Zeng, Kong Zhuoliu, and the three censors, they were appointed as censors. They were asked to investigate whether the three had framed the matter. They were dismissed from Xu Liang's letter to the Imperial College, and all four of them became common people to serve as a warning! Dong Wenbin, the Right Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not distinguish right from wrong, framed important officials in the court, and demoted them to... The Doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and the Right Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and reported to me. Li Chanzhi believed in slander and suffered damage to virtue, so he blamed him for thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors for three months, and he could not enter the court without any tricks.

He took Li Xiang, Shi Aiqing, Zongzheng Mansion, Dali Temple, Ministry of Personnel, and Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate whether there are any dirty activities within the censors. As for the power of the censors' reports on the news, he took Li Xiang, Shi Aiqing, Zongzheng Mansion, and Dali Temple to study. He told me the result within one month, is it necessary to re-arrange the power of the censors' supervision and impeachment. Do you have any objections to your family?"

Zhao Yun finished speaking in one breath, stared at His Highness’s ministers with a burning gaze and asked in a deep voice.

As expected, as the ministers thought, as long as Li Mingfu had a thick face and a dark heart, the deputy prime minister Zhao Yun would not say anything. Even Dong Wenbin and Zhao Yun were only demoted to one level, which obviously gave Zhao Shimi and others face. However, Li Mingfu, a high-powered deputy prime minister, could be punished slightly, and the rest were like Chen Yi, Fan Shizeng, Kong Zhuoliu, and Xu Liangshu. Zhao Yun did not tolerate anything, and he directly beat him to the public and threw him into prison.

"Your Majesty is wise! I will receive the order!"

Obviously, no one wants to fight Zhao Yun when he is at the peak of his popularity, even Zhao Shimi, Zhao Deyan and others who were originally aggressive. Even if they are reluctant, they can only endure it at this time.

"As for whether Sidao is cheating and copying the poems of his predecessors, do you still want to... test it?"

When Zhao Yun said this, he was looking at Jia Sidao. He was actually very worried about this. After all, he was very clear about what this brother-in-law looked like before. He still had some knowledge, otherwise he would not be able to win the Jinshi, right? But... he really couldn't be sure whether he could write such a good poem.

"Mr. Jia has a wide range of knowledge and can even improve military weapons and gunpowder firearms. The old ministers who wrote poems have never seen them in any book, so they will definitely not be plagiarism."

This time it was Li Zongmian who spoke!

Another person who was unexpected to many people.

"What the Prime Minister said!"

"Then Feng Songding wanted to use this to get to the top and deliberately frame Lord Jia!"

...

Li Zongmian was not only the prime minister of the dynasty, but also the Confucian scholar of the times. Even he stood up to endorse Jia Sidao. No matter whether he believed it or not, the ministers in the palace would naturally not make things boring at this time and would all echo.

"What should I do if Feng Song, a student of the Imperial College who framed and slandered me?"

Zhao Yun obviously didn't plan to let anyone go today.

This question stumped many people in the hall, but no one dared to respond for a while. Fortunately, Zhao Yun didn't really want to ask the people in the hall, and then turned around and looked at Jia Sidao and said, "Sidao, what do you think Feng Song should deal with?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Imperial College will be removed from the Imperial College and will never be hired."

Jia Sidao bowed with a smile.

The light words cut off all Feng Song's future career, no less than directly sentenced Feng Song to death. Not only did Zhao Yun feel a little stunned, but also made the ministers in the palace look at Jia Sidao with a little more cautious in their eyes. This young powerful and powerful court is not only difficult to meet, but also revenge!
