reborn monarch

All civil and military officials had heard the news about Jiangnan, and they had a premonition that the court would not be peaceful this morning. Before entering the Fengtian Hall, two or three couples gathered together and did not speak easily, pointing their eyes here and there, and kept looking at Wen Jinli and Mei Ziqi. Stroll around.

After this Jiangnan case, most of the officials in the court have already felt the smell. In the future, whoever thinks that the young Emperor Qiyuan has a good temper and good manners will be a stick and a solid one.

Let's not talk about Jiangnan, the news in this palace used to be heard by the sun at the foot of the Hongwumen wall, but now it's hard to find out some days, and the dandy-looking guards in the past have also changed their appearance and recovered. How much is the meaning of Jinwei, the dignified emperor at the time of the ancestors.

Emperor Qi Yuan subdued Su Wei without making a sound.

This wrist is unusual.

Let’s go back to the Jiangnan case, Xie Tanhua really didn’t embarrass Emperor Qiyuan, Feng Jinwuwei was like a joke, no one took him seriously, and now the people in Jiangnan are spreading the reputation of "Xie Qingtian", It is expected that this morning, Xie Jiuyuan will change places and stand among the officials.

"Welcome to the holy drive!"

I don't know if it's to match the title of "Your Majesty the Soul Boy", the color of the regular clothes worn by Emperor Qi Yuan recently is very plain. At this time, he is wearing a light gold emperor's suit, embroidered with the sun, moon, auspicious clouds and dragon patterns, and wearing a golden thread on his head. He still has a serious look on his face, but as soon as he entered the hall, it seemed that the entire Fengtian Hall was lit up three points. It is better to say that he looks like a fairy than the appearance of the emperor. Of course, no one dares to say this .

Wen Jinli wanted to kill first and play later, and Mei Ziqi also wanted to seize the opportunity, but he never expected that it was Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who took the lead. He plopped on his knees, howled and came out, saying that he was ashamed of Jiangnan scholars and the world Ashamed of Emperor Qiyuan, I want to retire and return home.

On the road, too fucking on the road.

Emperor Qi Yuan was in a good mood, took the opportunity to order Xie Jiuyuan and Mei Ziqi to come out, and said: "Xie Qincha, Mei Shilang, Lord Shangshu is so panic, you should explain the matter clearly first, so that I can make a decision in my heart."

Xie Jiuyuan came out from where the guards were standing, went down to the court hall, and together with Mei Ziqi, told the story. There were not many people in the whole hall who didn't know what to do. It was as if it was the first time they heard about it. serious.

Wen Jinli was sweating in his hands.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them finished speaking, Emperor Qi Yuan congratulated him with a "good" and said in a vigorous manner, "Since the minister of the Ministry of Rites knows that he is not doing well, and he is a veteran of the two dynasties. You tell your old age and go back to your hometown."

Conscience of heaven and earth, although Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites is said to be a minister who was prosperous in the first emperor's dynasty, he is actually only 42 now, especially the sentence "There is hard work without credit", it was like a slap in the face, and when it spread, he still How did you return home with honor?The wishful thinking was in vain, and when the Minister of Rites thanked him, his face was red and his neck was thick, like a steamed crab.

As soon as Emperor Qiyuan finished speaking, Mei Ziqi knelt down again, saying that the Jiangnan case was all due to Mr. Xie's hard work, and he did not dare to take credit for it, and he was responsible for negligence like Mr. Shangshu beforehand. I hope His Majesty will investigate clearly.

"Worthy of being a disciple of Wenxiang", Emperor Qiyuan sighed to all the officials, "It is not easy to take credit for doing an errand. They are all taught by Wenxiang well, and strict teachers produce high-level apprentices. Master Mei is so self-denying and devoted to public affairs, which can be set as an example for officials. The Minister of the Ministry of Rites is resigned, and Lord Mei will fill in the vacancy."

"Decree, Mei Ziqi, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, has made great achievements in investigating the bribery case in the Jiangnan imperial examination, and will be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

Mei Ziqi's heart moved, and he immediately knelt down to accept the decree and thanked him: "Minister! Receive the decree!"

Being disrupted by Emperor Qiyuan, Wen Jinli hated his teeth, but after thinking about it, Emperor Qiyuan recruited Mei Ziqi, and there were still not many people in his hands. He would definitely send Mei Ziqi to do some practical things, but no matter what Mei Ziqi would do in the future To be famous, you have to bear the reputation of learning from him Wen Jinli, why not do it?Mei Ziqi and Emperor Qi Yuan would never be so stupid as to destroy the Great Wall themselves.

Wen Jinli, who thought he had the upper hand, felt relieved, temporarily put Mei Ziqi aside, and patiently waited for the opportunity.

"Xie Qincha," Emperor Qi Yuan finally looked at Xie Jiuyuan.

Come, all the officials muttered in their hearts, this is the point.

"The minister is here."

Emperor Qiyuan named the Minister of the Ministry of Officials again: "Shangshu Luo, I vaguely remember that the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials seems to have been vacant for a month or two."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Wen Jinli's anger just calmed down, and now he is furious.

Why has the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials been vacant for more than a month?Because this is the radish pit that Wen Jinli carefully prepared for his son, he waited for a good time to stuff Wen Chongde into it with the excuse of an official.Is there any place in the court that is more suitable for making friends with the upper and lower officials than the Ministry of Officials?

The Great Chu Dynasty followed the official system of the previous dynasty, and set up six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and workers, which were the center of the court.

Qin Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Jin Ge, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, were both dedicated to their work and disdained to take refuge in Wen Jinli, and they could also be said to be Emperor Qiyuan's people.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry are both Wen Jinli's disciples.

The Minister of Rites has just changed to Mei Ziqi, and he is still Wen Jinli's protégé on the surface.

These five ministers are fairly clear, but Luo Shi, the official minister, is a slippery old fox who knows everything from right to left.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the transfer and examination of civil servants all over the world. It has a very heavy power and is the head of the six departments.

Therefore, Luo Shi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, does not need to please both sides. The reason for this is really due to his nature.

However, pleasing both ends works when the weather is calm, but once there is a turmoil, it is bound to be difficult for both ends to please, and it is difficult to be the first to be caught in the middle.

"Yes", Luo Shi replied dryly, and explained, "The former left servant returned to his hometown Ding You, and I couldn't find a suitable replacement for the time being. Please forgive me."

Emperor Qiyuan smiled, "Luo Shangshu is cautious in employing people, what is the crime? The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, so be more cautious in selecting candidates. Luo Shangshu has done his duty. Luo Shangshu, how about Mr. Xie?"

Luo Shi boasted helplessly: "Master Xie is brave and resourceful, fair and strict."

"Can you be the left servant of the official department?"

Emperor Qi Yuan was determined to ask for a correct sentence from Rosh, Rosh had no choice but to kneel down and bow, and said: "If I can thank you, sir, it will be the luck of my officials."

"it is good!"

Emperor Qi Yuan looked at Xie Jiuyuan, and said: "Xie Qin, since Luo Shangshu has said so, then I will appoint you as the left servant of the Ministry of Officials. You must work hard and don't disappoint Luo Shangshu's good words."

It's also a good word, Luo Shangshu is almost passed away.

Xie Jiuyuan suppressed a smile, corrected his expression, knelt down and bowed, and followed Emperor Qiyuan to respond: "I will lead the decree! I will never disappoint Luo Shangshu and His Majesty's expectations!"

Emperor Qi Yuan nodded in satisfaction, "Yes. All the gentlemen, what else is there?"

Baiguan looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials sympathetically, taking advantage of Emperor Qiyuan's good mood, he said all the things that should be reported, and when it came to the next court, the sun was already high and it was almost noon.

Eunuch Sanbao received the court uniform for Xie Jiuyuan, thinking all the way that Xie Jiuyuan is now an official, and it is not a problem to live in Dongnuan Pavilion. He received the court uniform in Dongnuan Pavilion, and when he returned to the imperial study, he was about to speak, and Emperor Qiyuan made the arrangements himself. .

Gu Zhen told Three Treasures: "Let's put lunch on the Pearl Mirror Table, the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Let the prince come and share."

Then he turned his head and said to Xie Jiuyuan who was guarding the side: "Let the commander of the guards take you to see the house in Beijing in the afternoon, and bring your son with you so that he can see the world."

"Yes", Xie Jiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, bowed in response, and then asked, "Then what is the duty of the Jinwu Guard?"

"Why, do you want to miss your job?" Gu Zhen asked with raised eyebrows.

Then why buy a house?

Xie Jiuyuan and Sanbao cursed at the same time.

"The left servant of the official department doesn't even have a place to stay in Beijing. How can you make dinners with people in the future? This is one day," Gu Zhen explained to him, "Again, I won't let you watch the night every day in the future. Watching for four or five days is not a big deal, first do the affairs of the officials well, which is more important than keeping watch at night."

Although these words were intentionally disgusting, they were all for Xie Jiuyuan's consideration. Xie Jiuyuan's eyes softened, and he responded in a gentle voice: "I obey the order. I must do my best to do the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, and try my best not to neglect the duties of the Jinwu Guard. "

Gu Zhen curled his lips and did not answer.

Father-in-law Sanbao became more and more worried, how did he hear it, how did he feel that the words of the Holy Majesty were just like the princess in the play telling how the son-in-law should deal with the officialdom?

During lunch, the prince was obviously a little tempered towards Xie Jiuyuan.

Xie Jiuyuan hasn't seen him for more than a month. Children of this age grow up fast. Xie Jiuyuan said with a smile, "My son has grown taller."

This was something that had never happened before, Gu Zhen saw it fresh, and drank fish porridge by himself without helping.

In fact, Gu Lan heard that Xie Jiuyuan was back early yesterday morning, and thought that they would have dinner together in the evening, but in the end, she waited all day for nothing and only saw him at noon today, so she was a little unhappy.

When Gu Lan first entered the palace and was not matched with a teacher, the maids and eunuchs would not get too close to the nobles after all. Xie Jiuyuan often took him with him. After spending five|six points on Gu Lan, Gu Lan became very close. Xie Jiuyuan went to the south of the Yangtze River, and Gu Lan was more reluctant than Gu Zhen.

The reason is that Xie Jiuyuan is the person Gu Lan met who is closest to the image of "father".

Because Emperor Qi Yuan is only eighteen, although his core is not eighteen, he looks too young, has no experience, and his seniority is "Emperor Uncle", but when he gets along with Gu Lan, he looks like a monarch when he is serious, and like an elder brother when he relaxes Brother, not quite like uncle and nephew, much less like father and son.

After a little thought, Xie Jiuyuan understood why the little guy was angry, and didn't waste time asking why. He just took clean chopsticks, and from the table full of delicacies, he found a few of Gu Lan's favorite dishes and added them to Gu Lan's bowl. The little guy curled the corner of his mouth, pretending to be picky, but he ate everything without missing a beat.

Gu Zhen looked at Xie Jiuyuan with his eyes, and Xie Jiuyuan immediately scooped up a spoonful of tofu for him.

Xie Jiuyuan was satisfied with the snacks, Xie Jiuyuan only felt happy, and didn't pay attention to what he ate.
