Your Majesty, please come quickly

Chapter 647 Afraid of being implicated?

"Really! Really!" He Chengyue said anxiously, "I have never formed a clique for personal gain, please trust me, Your Majesty!"

"Then I deal with officials who violate the law, why do you stand up and refute?" Ling Zimo sneered, "Don't tell me, you are sympathizing with them, and you are afraid that after they are dismissed from office, they will not be able to support their wives and children."

Those officials who have nothing to do with this matter are hiding far away now, for fear of being implicated.

This guy dares to stand up and intercede at this time, and dare to say that it is not for his own henchmen?
How funny.

"Chen, I just feel that if so many seats are vacated at one time, it may cause turmoil in the court." He Chengyue wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said tremblingly, "And with so many positions, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a short time. ...difficult to complete."

"Above the court, each has a division of labor and performs his duties, and there is no interest relationship. How can we talk about turmoil?"

"Besides, most of the people dealt with this time are small officials of the seventh rank and below. The highest ones are no more than four ranks."

"Does He Aiqing think that just disposing of a few small officials who violated the law is enough to destabilize the court in our country?"

"Or...do you think that during the trial process, these small officials will implicate officials with higher positions?"

"Like... a certain official standing here?"

Hearing this, He Chengyue couldn't help but panic even more, "I, I don't mean that, I'm just worried about the society."

In fact, he wasn't worried that he would be implicated.For this investigation, because Xuzhou has a vast area and the relationship between officials is extremely complicated, many people have enough time to process the evidence they left behind.

Especially for someone like He Chengyue who is on a higher level.Since he has no direct contact with Xuzhou officials, he has even less to worry about.

This time, the only ones who will be unlucky are the superiors who were the first to be investigated.

Keren is always dissatisfied.

After confirming that he was not in danger, He Chengyue started to maintain the power network he had painstakingly cultivated for so many years.

The greed in his heart made him unwilling to give up his original power and power.

But now it seems that his act of standing up is nothing more than stealing chickens and losing rice.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that He Chengyue was in a mess, Qi Huan couldn't help standing up to help him in order to prevent him from being implicated, "The turmoil Mr. He refers to is the impact caused by the temporary difficulty in filling the vacancy."

"Among the 42, although most of them are petty officials, they are responsible for the most practical things."

"Once a large number of their positions are left vacant, many matters of the common people will not be dealt with in time. So... Mr. He is inevitably a little anxious."

After hearing Qi Huan's explanation, He Chengyue nodded quickly and said, "Duke Qi is right, that's what I mean! That's what I mean!"

"It's so funny." Ling Zimo turned his lips slightly, and said with a half-smile, "Xu Aiqing is in charge of rearranging the candidates for the officials. He didn't even come out and cry to me that no one could be found, but you came out first."

"The transfer of officials is a matter for the Ministry of Officials. You are a minister of the Ministry of Rites, why are you in a hurry?"

"He Chengyue, don't you think that you are too lenient?"

After a pause, he half-closed his eyes again, fixed his eyes on He Chengyue, and lightly parted his thin lips, "Isn't it true that in two years, He Aiqing will be able to take care of my affairs?"
