He handed over a pot of "elixir" given to him by his family.

Lin Fengjin took a look and found that the elixir was well refined. Taking it for a long time could indeed prolong life. But how could he want Liu Wen's stuff? So he handed it back to him and warmed it up.

Say a few words of comfort.

After clearing up the doubts in his heart, Lin Fengjin asked Liu to continue. He still had a lot of things to do. Although the battle was over and it could be regarded as a complete victory, there were still many things left.

There are still a lot of things waiting for him to do, such as the screening of prisoners, interrogation, reporting of meritorious personnel lists, rewards, pensions for casualties, and compensation for civilians who were accidentally injured, all of which must be done in an orderly manner.

sorted out.

Of course, these seemingly trivial matters can be left to others to do, but Lin Fengjin knows that according to Lu Yu's temperament, he likes to read these documents, so Lin Fengjin must also do a good job

These things must not only be done well, but must also have their own characteristics...

Fortunately, at this time, Lin Fengjin was not alone like he was in the middle Tang Dynasty. There were not too many old officials on his father-in-law's side. It was easy to transfer two people to help, and let them handle the complicated and redundant documents. Lin Fengjin

I'm going to check it carefully, and I think it will be completed successfully after two or three updates.

However, just when Lin Fengjin started working, someone suddenly came from outside and announced that a visitor was coming. Lin Fengjin immediately frowned and said to the boy:

"Didn't I tell you that you are busy with official business and there will be no visitors today?"

The young boy muttered:

"Sir, Mr. Min from the academy is here to visit. I dare not refuse you."

Lin Fengjin was shocked when he heard this. Strictly speaking, Min Zhen was already at the level of a great Confucian and was of the same generation as Wang Jingzhi. However, he was a disciple of Lu Jiuyuan, so he seemed to be of the same generation as him. Moreover, Min Zhen usually treated Lin Fengjin very well.

Just more

He was taken care of. Because of this, Lin Fengjin also respected Min Zhen very much. When he heard that he was visiting late at night, how could he dare to neglect him? He hurriedly ordered his servants to pour tea and water. Lin Fengjin himself did not say anything about bathing and changing clothes, but he had to tidy up at least.

Appearance matters.

Soon, Lin Fengjin saw Min Zhen in the side hall next to him, and found that he had a worried look on his face, and he was also a little curious. The relationship between the two was also a teacher and a friend, so they didn't pay much attention to etiquette.

Let’s get straight to the point:

"Master Min came here late at night. He must have something important to do. Please just speak up."

Lin Feng was anxious, but Min Zhen sighed, took a sip of the fragrant tea next to him, and then said slowly:

"Did you know that today, Mr. Li Qizhi, the Minister of Rites, came to the table to express his opinion about Duke Zhang. Your Majesty was angry and refused, so he complained of illness. It was approved two hours ago."

Li Qizhi, the Minister of Rites, was also a great scholar of the Donglin sect. He was highly trusted by the late king Lü Kang. Min Zhen also worshiped under his sect when he was studying the Four Books and the Five Classics, so he respectfully called him Sir.

Li Qizhi was already a hundred years old at this time. His official career was up and down, and he looked down upon all kinds of fame and positions.

Lu Yu wants to kill his younger brother Lu Xian as a scapegoat. In his eyes, it violates the etiquette handed down from ancient times. Even if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, thunder and rain are all the king's favor, but in ethics

To put it bluntly, Lu Yu is his younger brother, so it would be immoral to kill his own brother.

Therefore, the old minister repeatedly wrote letters to argue, hoping that Lu Yu would practice "benevolence and forgiveness". In the end, he had no choice but to resort to the minister's killer weapon, which was to say that he was sick and wanted to go home to recuperate.

The meaning of this is actually to express your position to the king, if you do this, I will fire you and leave it to you to decide. This method and people in love sometimes argue too much, and they often

If one party stands up and says let’s break up, it’s the same thing.

People who complain about illness may not be ill, and people who say they want to break up may not really want to break up. This is actually just a statement.

Logically speaking, the king should not worry about the matter of a minister reporting illness. Instead, he should first go to comfort him and express his condolences. This is the proper procedure. However, Lu Yu did not act according to common sense.

, just say directly, okay, you go back to recuperate, I will help you...

In fact, Lu Yu had no intention of replacing him at first, but Li Shangshu was the person who was used by the late emperor, so there was already some estrangement. And Lu Yu's new accession to the throne would have to use the characters in his pocket to meet his needs.

He had been annoyed by the old man these past few days to make room for others, so when he saw that he was sick, he took the initiative. Now, even if Li Qizhi was in good health and could go up to the fifth floor without gasping for breath, he was really sick.

Then retire and return home.

After Lin Fengjin heard this, his face remained calm, but he was a little confused in his heart. What could he do with this kind of thing? Did he hope that he could persuade Lu Yu to take back his life? This was obviously impossible, Jun Wu said jokingly.

This is not a joke.

But I heard Min Zhen sigh again:

"You have been busy arresting demon worshipers recently. I'm afraid you are a little unfamiliar with the court. But you know that on the day you ascended the throne, Zhou Tinggu, He Wen, Hu Li, and Lin Gu, and Xu, these five officials have been demoted or moved. Recently,

In the past four days, six more ministers, including Yang Hu, Mi Yi, and Gu Ming, have left their posts?"

Lin Fengjin was shocked when he heard what Min Zhen said, because the officials Min Zhen mentioned were not only in key positions in the court, but they all had the same characteristics without exception, either.

Either they are pro-Donglin Academy, or they are simply from Donglin Academy! In other words, in a short period of time, the influence of Donglin Academy in the court of Northern Qi has dropped by at least 30%!

This end was a bit alarming. Lin Fengjin couldn't help but look around before whispering:

"Could it be that your Majesty has the intention to cleanse my Donglin lineage?"

Min Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"That's not true. To be honest, the influence of our Donglin lineage in the court is a bit too great. Although there is no partisanship between us, at this time of the change of government, it is not enough for so many people to be eliminated.

It's normal. What's more important is that no matter how many people you eliminate, you won't be afraid of any misunderstandings from the academy, but it's because of your existence..."

Lin Fengjin couldn't help but laugh bitterly, but after thinking about it, it was the same. Obviously, as long as his status as a disciple of Donglin remained in front of Lu Yu, the academy would be able to feel at ease. Lin Fengjin thought about it.

, couldn’t help but said again:
Chapter completed!
