Fang Kongzhang's attitude was extremely tough and he also looked at the power. These prefects covered the sky with their hands in the place, but here, they felt "humiliation" for the first time.

Before the Apocalypse, the superiors and subordinates of the Ming Dynasty gradually became blurred, and the clique was rampant. The standard for behavior and doing things was "righteous". No matter how big your official position was, as long as there was a flaw, you could mess with a group of people, write a letter to impeach, and make trouble. At this time, whether it was for the sake of reputation or self-protection, those who were impeached, from cabinet ministers to prefectures and magistrates, would wisely write a letter to "resign", with a firm attitude and no hesitation.

This is also one of the reasons why the fraternity in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty became increasingly fierce. There was no authority or prestige, and everything aimed at personal interests.

But now it's different.

The censorship system was eliminated from a systemic perspective, and the Censorate became history. The emperors today were deeply disgusted with forming cliques, making all officials in the world cautious and did not want to be caught by others.

The most important thing is that the governor’s yamen now has more power, such as appointing and removing them to the point of being directly attacked!

A group of people were secretly angry, but they could do nothing. After all, this was the governor's yamen.

People, including Shi Bangyao, were arranged in a large room, serving them with pen, ink, paper and ink.

Cao Bushan held the pen and stopped several times when he wanted to finish the pen.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see the new policy of the court, which is to 'rob' the rich and powerful people now. If they write it now, they will be unable to see anyone when they go back.

Bi Zikang held his arm and frowned. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

He was also a Jinshi, and now he is the prefect of Suzhou. He will join the six ministries and the cabinet in the future. Why are he forced to write such things now?

Shi Bangyao is very comfortable and has been studying it recently. He writes calmly and elegantly, and has long been accustomed to the draft.

"Mr. Cao, does Lord Fang really have the right to dismiss us from office?" A prefect asked in a silence after hesitation.

As soon as the man spoke, the others turned to look at Cao Bushan.

They all heard about Cao Bushan’s background, so they must know some inside stories.

Cao Bushan frowned and stared at the white paper in front of him, with an obscure expression. The Governor's Court has not been established yet. It is logical that Fang Kongzhao does not have such power, but if there is really a cabinet authorization, it would be different. Even he is within the scope of Fang Kongzhao's dismissal.

Seeing that Cao Bushan was not speaking, Bi Zikang said with a gloomy face: "Fang Kongzhang was in Nanzhili and wanted to be humble. I will never give up. I must impeach you!"

Everyone else was worried. Bi Zikang was all the later stories. The key now is what Fang Kongzhang wants to do. Keeping them here is definitely not just about their attitude.

Now the entire Nanzhili is in full swing. From the people, gentry, nobles to officials of the court and the government, few Ansheng were disturbed by the troubles and dared not take another step.

Mr. Wang Beicheng recently closed the door and studied quietly at home.

Wang Jinyou's life was not easy, and he had no hope of making a comeback. As soon as the notice from the Governor's Office was released, his career was completely cut off, and even the chance of the Governor's Office was gone!

"Father." Wang Jinyou looked calm, but his tone was full of unwillingness.

He is only forty years old this year, which is the best time for his career. How could he be willing to be excluded like this?

Wang Beicheng walked around the study with a book, as if he had not heard Wang Jinyou's words.

Wang Jinyou knew that his father was listening, and kept looking at him and said, "Father, now the governor's yamen has offended almost everyone in Nanzhili and is isolated everywhere. It is the time when we do things. If Fang Kongzhang can't sit upright and push him off the stage, we will have the final say in Nanzhili! The court will definitely realize that Nanzhili cannot be shaken by just one word, and there will be some changes..."

Wang Beicheng paused, stopped, turned to look at Wang Jinyou. Even if there was no expression on his old face, he still gave people a sense of brilliance.

When Wang Jinyou saw it, he said with more affirmation: "Father, Fang Kongxi is only one. As long as we put pressure on both inside and outside, he will definitely understand the general trend and know what to do!"

Wang Beicheng sighed lightly, walked back to the chair and sat down, looking at him and said, "I have always made you calm down and read steadily, but you never listen to me. You are so famous, talk big all day long, lingering on the Qinhuai River, and being in the name of the so-called 'talented man'..."

Wang Jinyou was stunned and said, "Father, didn't you support me in the past?"

Wang Beicheng looked up at him again, shook his head, and said, "If it were before the throne, you were harmless, but you still couldn't see the reality clearly? The emperor is eager to innovate, and no one will have a good end! If I was not wrong, the emperor would have arrived in Yingtian long ago, but he was just observing, quietly casting a net, waiting for the fish to jump out, and now he is about to close the net..."

Wang Jinyou's face changed slightly and he said in a lost voice: "Father, do you say the emperor has arrived in Yingtian Mansion?"

Wang Beicheng picked up the teacup and said lightly: "How could the emperor be in He. Nan grasp the affairs of Nanzhili so carefully? Let's see, the emperor will take action soon. Anyone who participates in opposing the "new policy" will not escape, whether it is the salt merchants, the officials of the government or the patriarchs of aristocratic families like his father, they cannot escape..."

There was already cold sweat in Wang Jinyou's ears and he was trembling. He could do something wind and rain behind his back, but if he was discovered by the current emperor, it would definitely be a dead end!

Wang Jinyou's eyes flashed quickly, and after a while, he said with a dry mouth, "Father, then what should we do?"

Wang Beicheng raised his head, his eyes twitched, he put down the teacup, and said indifferently, "Didn't that Gong Dingzi look for you? I promised him to be a hundred households. He would do whatever he told him with ten times his strength. If he couldn't do it, he would come forward for his father."

Wang Jinyou's face changed drastically and said, "Father, Gong Dingzi wants us to support the 'new policy' and still have to oppose other wealthy families. How can this be done..."

Wang Beicheng sneered and said, "Do you think it's the past and you can enjoy peace by guarding a few acres of land? Remember what I said just now, do it honestly. If you can't do it, I will change to someone else. I, Wang Beicheng, have more than you, you have more than one son!"

Wang Jinyou's eyes widened and the corners of his mouth twitched. This was completely different from his thoughts. His father silently stood on the side of the court!

"Father..." Wang Jinyou looked unwilling. If he continued to promote the "new policy" of the court, not only would their money and food be damaged, but they would also have a great hindrance in their careers, which would be a major blow to their Wang family and even the entire Nanzhili!

This is something that no normal person would agree!

Wang Beicheng ignored him and said indifferently, "Let's go find him tonight, and write a letter to Zhou Yingqiu. You are very clear about how to write it. Write it for me and then send it out."

Wang Jinyou had no courage to resist his father. He frowned and had a change in his face. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded, leaving with a lot of dissatisfaction.

As soon as Wang Jinyou left, an old man walked out of the side door, bowed his waist and hunched back, older than Wang Beicheng. Looking at Wang Jinyou's back, he sighed softly, "Master, don't you really explain it to the second young master?"

Wang Beicheng did not hide his disappointment on his face and said, "No, he just needs to do what I said. Have I asked you to find all the people you are looking for?"

The old man was silent for a while and said, "I have already found it. I have already visited the letters for the old minister Chen, Zhao Ge Lao, Li Shilang and other old masters who are still alive in the six ministries in Nanzhili. I have also sent someone to send letters for the Feng family, Shen family, Yang family, etc., and I have been there for several princes in person, and they all promised to come to Yingtian the day after tomorrow. The salt merchants in Nanzhili who are peaceful and stable have also talked about it, and they will write to the Governor's Office."

Wang Beicheng nodded, his eyes flashed for a while, and he said, "It should be almost done. The day after tomorrow, Kong Xu will implement the Supervisory Yuan and the Criminal Prison Department, which can help."

The old man watched Wang Jinyou's back disappear, then turned to Wang Beicheng, and after a while, he said: "Master... will the emperor really appreciate your kindness when you do this?"

Wang Beicheng picked up the teacup and his face became darker. He was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know."

The old man was a little aware and didn't speak, and stayed silent with Wang Beicheng.

This was the first time he had seen Wang Beicheng look like this for decades. He also knew in his heart that the current emperor had put great pressure on him and forced him to change with a tough attitude.
