Borrow the day to change the day

() Zhou Yanru walked to Wen Tiren's office, bowed to him, and then called softly: "Shoufu."

When Wen Tiren heard someone greet him, he looked up and saw that it was Zhou Yanru, the youngest minister in the cabinet.So he asked, "Yu Sheng, is there something wrong?"

Several cabinet members heard the movement, looked up at the situation, and then lowered their heads to review the memorials sent by various ministries.

Zhou Yanru cupped his hands at Wen Tiren and said: "These days, I have something to hold back in my heart, and I can't vomit it quickly. I hope the first assistant can answer one or two questions."

"Oh, I don't know what's the matter with the jade rope, just tell it." Wen Tiren listened, put the brush back on the pen holder, and listened attentively to Zhou Yanru's words.

"Shoufu, these days, I see that you often discuss matters with the emperor alone. As a cabinet minister, we don't know anything about it. Isn't it inappropriate?" Zhou Yanru said loudly on purpose.

When the other ministers heard the movement, some raised their heads and began to pay attention to the development of the situation, and some just looked up and continued to work.

"What does Yusheng want to know about what Yusheng said?" Wen Tiren was sophisticated, and he saw Zhou Yanru's obvious little trick, but asked Zhou Yanru calmly.

"Excuse me, Shoufu, what's the matter with the row houses outside the Meridian Gate, and what's the meaning of the factory guards surrounding the original ceramics factory?" Zhou Yanru asked Wen Tiren two obvious and not very sensitive things in succession.

"Don't be impatient with the jade rope, the emperor will announce it right away. It's a good thing, so don't worry." Wen Tiren replied kindly.

Several cabinet ministers who raised their heads to watch the excitement stopped paying attention when they heard that there was nothing serious about it, and lowered their heads to work.

"Excuse me, chief assistant, is it a good thing for the factory guards to run rampant in the capital and harass the officials?" Zhou Yanru said more and more loudly, with a hint of doubt in his words.

When the other cabinet ministers heard that the voice was wrong, they all paid attention. Several assistant ministers put their pens on the pen holder, and they were ready to come over to persuade them if the situation was not right.

There were also a few assistant ministers who were secretly happy. Zhou Yanru was the top scholar among the elites, and he won the number one scholar. He was in the cabinet at a young age, and he was too popular.And Wen Tiren sitting in the first assistant position made people jealous.If the two conflict now, it will only benefit them.

There were also a few cabinet ministers who had vented their anger with Zhou Yanru in advance and would speak out in support of him at that time, but there was no movement at this time, and they were quietly watching the changes.

Zhou Yanru began to directly question Wen Tiren: "The chief assistant is the head of all the officials, why can't he bear to watch the factory guards wreak havoc and not speak to the emperor, and ignore all the officials?"

Seeing that he brought up this topic, several cabinet ministers who had been in touch with Zhou Yanru wanted to agree with him, but they saw that Wen Tiren was still calm and calm, and they didn't want to be rash, afraid that they would be in the wrong team, so they decided to join him. No sound.

Fuchen Qian Xiangkun is Wen Tiren's mentor, and has always admired himself as a student who is better than blue.The position of chief assistant, if ranked according to seniority, he is also the priority.But he took the initiative to make Yin Yu Wen Tiren.In order to avoid gossip, I seldom speak at ordinary times.

Now when he saw a backward person talking to Daming Shoufu like this, he couldn't help but get a little angry, and stood up from his seat.

Seeing Qian Xiangkun standing up, Wen Tiren shook his head slightly, and then asked Zhou Yanru calmly: "I don't know how the factory guards ran amok in the capital, and how? I hope the jade rope will tell you."

"That's right..." Zhou Yanru opened his mouth to say, but just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly found the reason a little hard to say.It cannot be said that the factory guards' investigation of corruption caused panic among the officials in the capital.

"The lower officials are worried that the factory guards will fabricate evidence and willfully extort all officials, causing the honest and upright people to be wronged and wronged, and they will suffer the disaster of ransacking their homes and exiling them." A common problem of being an official is that when no suitable reason can be found, they will resort to trumped-up trump cards. .

This move can be used for the strong to suppress the weak, but now Zhou Yanru obviously used it in the wrong place.

"Yusheng refers to the case of the censor who accepted bribes from the former Marquis of Baoding? You can be sure that the factory guard framed the case, why didn't you say it before closing the case. Since you can guarantee that the two censors are indeed wronged, the old man can go to the court for Yusheng Heaven listens, how about retrying this case?" Wen Tiren said with a smile, showing the responsibility of the chief assistant.

Zhou Yanru was taken aback when he heard that, he had no evidence to prove that the two censors were wronged, and he was not interested in taking care of this shit.I was just talking in general terms, but was dragged into it by Wen Tiren.If you want the emperor to intervene, but you can't speak out, then the consequences will be serious.

So, Zhou Yanru hurriedly said: "This is not the meaning of being an official, the first assistant misunderstood."

Qian Xiangkun, who was on the side, saw that his protégé was eating Zhou Yanru to death, so he was relieved and sat back on his seat.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru was too tender, those ministers with evil intentions were suppressed by Wen Tiren from the beginning, and led him by the nose, knowing that there was nothing to do, so they gave up their desire to speak up for him.He wanted to go back and tell his disciples and family members to keep their own place during this time, and not to get in the way of the factory guards.

"Young man, think clearly before speaking. Don't take it for granted. If you have nothing else to do, go back to work. The old man still has a lot of things to deal with." Wen Tiren didn't blame him for this, and picked it up again while talking The writing brush on the pen stand was dipped in ink on the inkstone, ready to deal with the memorial at hand.

Zhou Yanru was not reconciled, he originally wanted to use two public-related events to grab people's attention in advance, and he could recruit other cabinet ministers to help, and then asked what he cared most about.

It stands to reason that it would be best for Zhou Yanru to go back to work obediently while Wen Tiren is not angry now.

But he was under pressure and had to ask the third thing.Moreover, the reason why he came out today is also for the third thing.He was a little hesitant to ask directly now.

Wen Tiren frowned when he saw that he hesitated, wanted to leave but refused to leave, wanted to speak but refused to speak.Why is this jade rope endless, the old man can't wait to use it for a quarter of an hour instead of a quarter of an hour, if he has time to grind it with him.So, he asked blankly: "Could it be that there is still something to do with the jade rope?"

When Wen Tiren asked such a question, Zhou Yanru stopped being entangled. He first bowed to Wen Tiren, and then said: "Shoufu, I don't know what the imperial court has plans for the salt administration. Why didn't the cabinet discuss it beforehand and hastily summon all the salt officials from all over the country?" The transfer envoy and the salt class are all gathered in the capital?"

"This is the emperor's intention. The Yan government will undergo major changes. As for the content, the old man sees that the transfer envoys and promotions have arrived. Tomorrow, the emperor will call all the members of the cabinet and the six ministers to discuss the matter together. You will know when the time comes. Not in a hurry today."

"Can't we talk about it today? Could it be that we don't trust the rest of our ministers?" Zhou Yanru said while pointing to the other cabinet ministers working around him.

When the cabinet members heard the smell of gunpowder coming up again, they all looked up.

Zhou Yanru's words are too much, Wen Tiren is a mud bodhisattva, and he also has anger.He said with a sullen face: "The old man said it was the emperor's intention. Is it up to you or the emperor to decide the affairs of the court? All political affairs have their own division of labor. I have to let you know everything and ask you for instructions?"

Once Wen Tiren's big hat was put on, Zhou Yanru couldn't take it anymore.Even if you are very brave, you dare not say clearly that the emperor is not the master, but you have to ask yourself for instructions. This is a heart-breaking statement!

Zhou Yanru's face turned pale with fright, and he was speechless for a moment.

The quarrel was too tense, and everyone was not good. He Ruchong, the closest minister to rely on, quickly stood up to persuade: "Shoufu, Yusheng is still young, and he should be criticized for his rough work. But he also wants to do things wholeheartedly, not the chief minister. That's what Fu said. Yusheng, Mr. Shoufu has a lot of people, so he won't argue with you, so please apologize."

Zhou Yanru, who still had half the demeanor of a successful young man, bowed to Wen Tiren at a loss and said, "This official is impulsive and abrupt, and I hope the chief assistant will forgive me."

Wen Tiren glanced at the other members of the cabinet, and found that they were all watching how he sent Zhou Yanru down.Thinking about it for a while, I have just become the chief assistant of the cabinet not long ago, and I still need to accumulate popularity.Besides, if Ming wants to do a good job in government affairs, step into the sea, and compete with real enemies, he needs the help of talented people.This week Yanru can be a member, the number one scholar, and he has talent, as long as he doesn't be impulsive in the future, this time it's fine.

Therefore, Wen Tiren calmed down a little, and said to Zhou Yanru: "For the sake of Marquis Kang, let's forget it this time. It is the duty of a minister to do the matter at hand well."

Zhou Yanru didn't dare to speak, bowed again, and retreated to his seat.

The cabinet ministers were seriously doing what they were doing, and the cabinet returned to silence.

In the evening, when Zhou Yanru went out of the palace to go home, Zhou Daijin, his family's valet, picked up his master, helped him into the sedan chair, and asked in a low voice: "Master, the family is waiting impatiently, is there any news? "

Zhou Yanru cast a gloomy face, glanced at him, and then said, "We'll talk about it when we go back." After speaking, he got into the sedan chair, lowered the curtain, and ignored Zhou Daijin.
