Long Ruyuan continued to ask seriously.

"I know, it means that everything has a reason and a beginning." Hu Mingzhong still answered calmly.

From this point on, the completely confused He Zhu wisely gave up his intention to interrupt and sat there honestly listening to the conversation between the two.

"Hu Shangshu, before he knew the truth that 'everything must have a beginning', Xiaguan had been ups and downs in the prefectures and counties for more than ten years..." Goulong Ruyuan responded with a sigh. "Obviously he takes things seriously and works hard to figure out what is going on above him.

The meaning, but always because of this and that, could not be redressed, but kept sinking to the bottom. Later, as I grew older, I gradually figured out this truth. Although later because of the Jingkang Incident, I was trapped by the overall situation, and I still couldn't rise to the top for a while.

But I can finally get a glimpse of the true meaning of the court situation, so I won't be confused."

Hu Yin looked at the other party and said seriously: "Is this 'Chu' so powerful?"

"Everything must have a beginning. If you can act based on the 'beginning' of things, then things will always be very simple. On the other hand, if you don't understand where and what the real 'beginning' of things is, you will definitely fall into trouble.

.”

Goulong Ruyuan ignored the other party's ridicule, but became more and more disappointed. "From a minor point of view, the reason for the case of Quanzhou Fansi that day was that the officials had long shown an attitude of being wary of Fanshang, and were unwilling to give them the royal family."

It's ridiculous that other officials thought that the imperial court would tolerate adultery for a little business tax, but they never thought that the temper of the official family would always remain the same. Looking at the overall situation, the beginning of the imperial court lies in the Jingkang Incident...With this beginning

’, we naturally understand why the old and new parties no longer exist in the imperial personnel affairs, but are wars, offenses and defenses, and disputes of urgency and delay. We also naturally wake up to why there is such discord between the officials and the two supreme emperors; and we understand better.

Come here, why are all the important affairs of the imperial court focused on the war between Song and Jin Dynasties?"

"That's right." Hu Yin nodded immediately. "What you said makes sense... Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country's politics, ethos, and personnel have changed, and the roots are all in Jingkang. Even the case of Fansi in Quanzhou happened because you were thousands of miles apart.

A peek into the original.”

"Also, why is war between war and war? Between offense and defense is attack? Between rush and slowness is rush? In fact, there are also 'beginnings'." Goulong Ruyuan raised his left hand, and lifted the fingers of his left hand with his right hand, one by one.

He spoke seriously, and did not relax a little because of the other party's approval. "If His Majesty succeeds to the throne, this is the first 'beginning'. He won the throne unexpectedly, and he must fight to clear his name, but he also suffered changes, so he often

Something extraordinary happened..."

"Guarding the Huai River is the second 'beginning'. Once the Jurchens are blocked for a while and their troops are exhausted, they know that the Jurchens are also exhausted. This shows that China is so big that it may not be necessary to defend..."

"Moving to Nanyang is the third 'beginning', showing that there is no peace inside and outside, and an unyielding heart that would rather die..."

"Returning to Tokyo is the fourth 'beginning', and the Song Dynasty is still alive in the Ming Dynasty..."

"Yaoshan's desperate struggle was the fifth 'beginning', which made the world know that China still has something to do..."

"One after another, after reaching Yaoshan, the general trend of the Northern Expedition has become irreversible. It's ridiculous that some people want to surrender, want to make peace, want to defend, and want to slow down, but they don't know that things are already doomed." Gou Long Ruyuan.

He put away the palms used for counting and shook his head in reply. "From then on, Xiaguan no longer had any scruples, so that he could do everything according to the central plan... Therefore, the transfer was smooth... However, Xiaguan knew this clearly.

"The first one is the first one, the first one is the first one. You know where the first one is, but you are still obsessed with it. Doing such a thing is equally ridiculous!"

"What on earth do you want to say?" Hu Mingzhong finally became impatient.

"The official wants Hu Shangshu to tell the official family a few things..."

"Tell me."

"First of all, the lower officials are aware of the country's major affairs. Once they do such a dirty thing, they are really blinded by the desire for power. I hope that the official family can leave a useful official body."

Hu Yin didn't say a word and just looked at the other person coldly. Even He Zhu next to him couldn't help but look sideways at his colleague.

"Secondly, the establishment of six departments is necessary, but the focus should be on the supervision and assessment of the six departments, rather than on supervision and spying on people's hearts... Because I, Gou Long Ruyuan, am just a villain who has only been in Beijing for more than a month.

, it is very common for everyone in the imperial court to fail to notice me for a moment. Please do not doubt that the central officials have deteriorated so quickly."

Hu Yin finally nodded, but his expression did not change at all: "I will definitely bring this matter to the attention of the officials."

"Third." Goulong Ruyuan continued to talk seriously. "The establishment of the six subjects is a continuation of Taijian. It was in the Jianyuan at the beginning of the system, and it should be returned to the Yushitai."

Hu Yin's face finally softened a little.

"Fourth, it is right for officials to go to the south of the Yangtze River, because the local people's hearts are the real source. But when they go to the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to hold the power of thunder than to embrace the rain and dew; it is better to observe the customs and morale than to explore the hearts of the scholars and officials;

It is better to look at the countryside and fields than to look at the famous cities and counties; it is better to look at the fields, taxes and labor than to look at the taxes and minerals..."

"Is the following string also the knowledge of 'beginning'?" Hu Yin finally spoke up.

"Yes." Goulong Ruyuan bowed slightly and responded. "The former is the end, and the latter is the beginning... If you can follow the beginning, you don't have to worry about the end!"

"Then the 'beginning' in your words is actually one of them?" Hu Mingzhong asked calmly.

Goulong Ruyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes... But for the official family, and for the court, the beginning of a lower official position is just the last one, and the last position of a lower official position may become the first beginning of the official family... Please

Hu Shangshu conveyed these words to the lower official with his arm guard."

"I will go with Mr. He to meet with the official." Hu Mingzhong was silent for a moment, then stood up and faced him. "I have never forgotten anything since I was a child. I will not change a word of your words. Mr. He will bear witness as you wish...

…Are you going to wait here or go home and wait?”

He Zhu understood completely and quickly stood up.

Goulong Ruyuan thought about it for a while, then stood up and sincerely handed over his hands: "I will serve as your minister here."

Hu Yin nodded, then left the public room together with He Zhu who said nothing, and walked away.

After going for about half an hour, He Zhu didn't come back, and Hu Yin didn't come back either. However, Lan Gui, the chief security officer, led several imperial officers to the courtyard of the Ministry of Industry... As soon as the latter entered the Shangshu's public room, he faced

Goulong Ruyuan, who was trembling all over, simply said:

"Official oral instructions: Since Gou Longqing knows my beginning, he should also know that I have always liked to be wanton and unrestrained, abandoning the beginning and leaving the end."

After saying that, the chief chamberlain officer turned around and left without looking back, leaving Gou Long Ruyuan completely speechless in the room... How could he not know that his last struggle was unsuccessful?

However, Gou Long Ruyuan still retained a trace of the desire to survive. On this day, he waited in the public room until dark, hoping that Yu Hu Yin and He Zhu could come back to say a word to him.

However, no one came back until it got extremely dark, and Gou Long Ruyuan could only return home in despair under the direct gazes of the two royal guards in front of the door.

Returning to the new residence issued by the imperial court, the new minister of Dali Temple summoned his wife, concubines, and children. He bluntly said that he was not going to die soon, so he divided the national debt, gold and silver saved at home, and asked these people to go out early tomorrow morning.

Returning to his hometown in Sichuan and Sichuan... and when the next day dawned, his wife, concubines, and children were driven out by servants and left with their faces hidden. Goulong Ruyuan himself wanted to die several times in order to save his dignity, but could not do it several times.

In the end, he could only be trapped at home, sitting and waiting to die.

I was really sitting there waiting for death... On this day, He Zhu, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, went to the capital, the Privy Council, the imperial censor's desk, and the Ministry of Punishment in order to give evidence in public, saying that Gou Long Ruyuan, the minister of Dali Temple, framed his colleagues, alienated the emperor and his ministers, and blamed the queen.

Shangdaojun emperor, separated from the heavenly family, deceived the emperor and ignored the emperor, the sin is unforgivable.

The court was in an uproar for a while.

Because it was the Minister of Dali Temple who committed the crime, it was directly handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for disposal. In the afternoon of that day, two junior officials from the Ministry of Punishment came to Goulong Mansion with two jailers, and directly took Goulong Ruyuan out of the mansion and sent him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The so-called holding a secret cabinet minister is like holding a chicken or a dog.

Now, the government and the public were in an uproar.

The matter was so important that no one dared to neglect it. Just one day later, Ma Shen, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, used Yu Shi Zhongcheng as a witness and three Yu Shi as assistants to conduct an inquiry in person. He summoned Shangshu Hu Yin and Minister He Zhu on the spot.

, as well as the detained Fujian villagers, compare with 'Inquiry (Investigation and Interrogation)'.

After the confession was obtained and it was correct, before noon, three copies were sent directly to the imperial censor's desk, the capital, and then to the imperial court via the Privy Council.

Zhao Guanjia didn't stop for a moment and immediately approved:

"There is no one like Goulong Ruyuan who harbors ill intentions, deceives the emperor with selfish motives, traps his colleagues, and brings trouble to the country. He does not have the respect of fellow ministers, the friendship of peers, and the conduct of official positions. There is no such person! When this war is going on,

In accordance with the military law, we must destroy the writings we have written since our birth and execute them immediately!”

The approval was quickly transferred back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while the Province and the Privy Council directly added the seals of the East and West Prefectures to the approved documents, as if they were dealing with some ordinary decree.

At the same time, after the Yushitai, who had no idea about the reaction of Chongwenyuan, learned about the official approval, they obviously hesitated, and then held an internal meeting in Wutai, and it took until the evening to get a unanimous opinion.

, but suggested that Zhao Guan’s family bring the matter to the next court meeting for public discussion.

Immediately, Li Guang personally took the document into Chongwen Court, went to the Privy Council, and asked the officials on duty to transfer the document to the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately tomorrow morning.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, when this only document that openly refuted the official decree was still in the process, a team of Imperial Banzhi directly entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. They first presented all the legal documents and smashed Goulong into a ball of flesh.

Ru Yuan dragged him out and carried him to the front of Xuande Tower. He then announced his crime in front of everyone. Then one person held him down and the other swung a knife, just like killing the imperial horse before, and directly beheaded the man who was a member of the Secret Pavilion the day before yesterday.

After Ma Shen, the Minister of Punishment, and Li Guang, the Imperial Censor, learned the news and rushed to the scene hand in hand, they were shocked to find that even the blood on the ground had been washed away, leaving only the horse's head, which had long since rotted to the point of leaving only bones.

Hanging it on the Xuande Tower, it made a whining sound when it was blown by the wind.

The two people who were discussing just now whether to let Gou Long Ruyuan stay away from home without mercy were completely silent.

A few days later, through internal documents, the imperial court announced the conclusion reached by the officials and the governors, establishing six subjects, which were intended for assessment rather than supervision, and were collected in Yushitai Jianyuan.

A few days later, when another round of fighting was launched on the front line, Di Bao published another edict from Zhao Guan's family, which said, "Everything must have a beginning. The beginning of the imperial court's resurgence was not in the Central Plains, not in war, but in the south of the Yangtze River."

Among the soldiers and the people... the officials will set off in July, leading 1,500 imperial squadrons and 2,000 imperial cavalry troops to go south to inspect Jingxiang and the southeast, and entrust the state affairs to the governors and secret pavilions.
