Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 140: The flattery gene of the Chinese nation

Having negotiated the chemical research base so easily made Wang Daoqiu extremely ambitious.There are Taoist sects with thousands of years of experience in chemical experiments for the purpose of refining elixirs, and there are those chemical engineering materials in the library.

Wang Daoqiu didn't believe that under the right general direction, it was blessed with a thousand-year inheritance foundation and a large number of professionals with strong practical skills.My Han nationality can't synthesize all the acids and alkalis one by one.

Feeling happy, Wang Daoqiu was bragging about his knowledge of chemistry with Emperor Jiajing and Tao Zhongwen. A little Huangmen came in respectfully and reported: "Your Majesty, Yu Maojian, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Yu Maojian, the Censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan Xia Bangmo, please see me outside the palace."

Yu Maojian and Xia Bangmo are here. You don’t need to think about it to know why they are here!So when he heard from Xiaohuangmen that Yu Maojian and Xia Bangmo were asking for a meeting outside the palace, Wang Daoqiu immediately looked embarrassed.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing, who also knew why Yu Maojian and Xia Bangmo were here, had a straight face, and regardless of Wang Daoqiu's embarrassment, said coldly: "You are the one who caused the matter, go out and send them away yourself. !”

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister resigns."

The Jiajing Emperor shamelessly dumped the blame, and Wang Daoqiu had no choice but to go out and fend for himself.When they arrived outside the Wanshou Palace, they saw Yu Maojian and Xia Bangmo, who were leading Li Xiang, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Mr. Chen, the censor of the right capital of the Duchayuan, waiting for them outside the palace.

When they saw Wang Daoqiu coming out of Wanshou Palace at this time, they knew that he must be coming for them.So they hurriedly saluted without saying anything, waiting for Wang Daoqiu to speak.

They are all human beings, and Wang Daoqiu can't do anything to them.So Wang Daoqiu made a "please" gesture to them, and said: "Four lords, please take a step to talk, it is not convenient to speak at the gate of this hall."

I know that what Wang Daoqiu is going to say next must be related to Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards Zhao Wenhua.So after Wang Daoqiu offered to take a step to talk, Yu Maojian and the four of them followed Wang Daoqiu down the steps of the hall without talking nonsense.

When he arrived at the bottom of the steps of Wanshou Palace, which was already far away from the entrance of the palace, Wang Daoqiu stopped.He first bowed his hands to Yu Maojian and the other four, and then said slowly: "I dare not hide it from the four adults. Previously, in the Wanshou Palace, I had already informed Zhao Wenhua of all kinds of evil deeds in his daily life, as well as our officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They all reported to the emperor that they wanted to jointly participate in Zhao Wenhua. The emperor was also angry after hearing this, but he sympathized with Zhao Wenhua who had served the country for many years and had some hard work. Therefore, His Majesty's intention was not to fire him, but to demote him. Don't hide it. Your Excellency, the Emperor has just sent the cabinet of the Chamber of Servants to demote Zhao Wenhua to the rank of Shaoqing of Shangbao Temple. This matter will only be passed by the cabinet vote and approved by the Director of Ceremonies, and then it will be sent to our staff department for processing. "

"Well, that villain Zhao Wenhua was only demoted this time, but it gave him an advantage." Upon hearing that Emperor Jiajing had already organized the cabinet and voted for Zhao Wenhua to be demoted, Yu Maojian felt that the punishment was a bit light, but he could accept it.

Yu Maojian thought it was acceptable, but Xia Bangmo thought it was too light.So as soon as Yu Maojian finished speaking, Xia Bangmo continued: "How can a treacherous villain like Zhao Wenhua still stay in the court? He should be expelled. Mr. Yu, we who are under the authority should still go today See the emperor, go and see Zhao Wenhua face to face, and ask the emperor to expel Zhao Wenhua from the court."

"This……!"

Emperor Jiajing already had some opinions on how to deal with the matter and sent his servant to discuss the matter with the branch cabinet. Now that he and others are waiting for him, it seems a little bad to be stubborn at this time.However, the emperor did give Zhao Wenhua a lighter sentence this time, and since Xia Bangmo had spoken now, it seemed that he should give him this face.

It makes sense to go or not, but this moment puts Yu Maojian in a dilemma.So he said "this, this, this", but there was no reason for "this".It was difficult to make a decision. In the dilemma, Yu Maojian looked at Wang Daoqiu and said, "Wang Shizhong, what do you think about this?"

"Master Yu, Master Xia, I understand how you feel about eradicating traitors for the country. However, Your Majesty has already given the Holy Will on this matter, and has also approved the cabinet. What if...? Both of you are part of the same team. The Ministry of Finance should know that it is not good for political orders to be changed day by day. Therefore, I beg you two adults not to embarrass the Emperor in this matter. Let's take a moment and see if Zhao Wenhua can change it after going to Shangbao Temple. If Zhao Wenhua is stubborn and remains unrepentant after arriving at Shangbao Temple, then it won’t be too late for us to intervene with him again."

What Wang Daoqiu said is absolutely on the highest point of morality, and the position in his words is also absolutely on the side of Yu Maojian and Xia Bangmo.When it comes to Zhao Wenhua, the words used are such as repenting of one's mistakes and becoming a new man, such as being stubborn and unrepentant.This made Yu Maojian and Xia Bangmo very happy.

So after Wang Daoqiu finished speaking, Yu Maojian said to Xia Bangmo: "Yes, Songquan, Wang Shizhong is right. The emperor has just sent an edict to the cabinet about this matter, and although the edict said the punishment is a bit light, it is still fair. . So if we are still unwilling to give up on this matter at this time, it will inevitably be suspected of forcing the palace. Forget Songquan, let’s end this matter today! Besides, if Zhao Wenhua doesn’t repent in the future, we will intervene again when the time comes. He is." "Hey, what the boss said is right, it's Songquan Menglang. Then let's leave this matter as it is today! I hope that Zhao Wenhua can change his past after this incident, otherwise I will never let him go."

"Okay, okay, let's leave it as it is. Wang Shizhong, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

"Sir, you are very polite. I am a close servant, and also the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. When selecting officials for the country, they should be assigned according to their duties."

"Okay, okay, now that this matter is over, I'll go back and Wang Shizhong takes his leave."

"Everyone, go slowly."

In this way, Yu Maojian and the others got an acceptable result and left.After Wang Daoqiu sent Yu Maojian and the others away, he returned to the Longevity Palace.

As soon as Wang Daoqiu came back, Emperor Jiajing asked, "Are they all gone?"

"It's your Majesty. Master Yu and the others have all gone back to the Yamen to do their errands."

"They didn't accuse me of favoring Zhao Wenhua or call me a fool, right?"

"How can it be, Your Majesty, although Lord Yu and Lord Xia feel that His Majesty's punishment is a bit light this time, they both say that His Majesty is fair and have no complaints."

"Slippery! You haven't complained yet? Wang Qing, I know better than you what kind of temper Yu Maojian and Xia Bangmo are. Yu Maojian only learned to suppress his temper after he was 65 years old. And that Xia Bangmo, he is a cannon stick. Yes, it will explode at one point. Wang Qing, let me tell you this, I don’t know how many times Xia Bangmo scolded me as a coward behind my back. But I remember that he scolded me as a coward in front of me, and that’s four times Answer. It’s just these two bad tempers, Wang Qing, you said that they have no complaints against me, I don’t believe it.”

Ma De, want to be a peacemaker, make peace with each other, but never want to meet such a shrewd person, Wang Daoqiu is helpless!
The lie was exposed in person, and Wang Daoqiu had no choice but to be shameless and flatter him: "Master Yu and Master Xia have such bad tempers that they even insulted Your Majesty in front of you. Your Majesty not only tolerated them, but also gave them a high position of power. This shows that Your Majesty With a mind as vast as the sky, Your Majesty..."

"Okay, okay, Wang Qing, you are a bad learner. You have only been in office for a few months, and you have already learned the tricks of those old men to flatter me. Okay, Wang Qing, you are not allowed to flatter me in the future. You are now flattering me in the court." There are many flatterers, but the only people who can be close to me are you, Lu Bing, Lu Fang, and Master Tao. So, Wang Qing, if you become like those people in front of me in the future, then this Wanshou Palace, You won’t be able to come in again.”

"I obey the order. I will try my best to tell the truth in front of His Majesty from now on."

"What? Try your best! I think you deserve a spanking."

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Accidentally, a truth popped out of Wang Daoqiu's mouth.Emperor Jiajing quickly understood the truth and was angered by it, so he started to chase Wang Daoqiu.
