Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 346
Zhu Youxiao was amazed by Cao Sicheng's memory, but he also realized that Cao Sicheng was using this to point his sword at Qian Qianyi through Cao Sicheng's slightly lively eyes, slightly heavy tone, and deliberately changed expressions.

Zhu Youxiao has been the emperor for a long time. The most annoying thing is this kind of smart officials. If you ask yourself something, you just answer it truthfully. If you answer well, you may still think you are very capable.

But this obviously purposeful behavior of wanting to use himself as the emperor made him, the emperor, feel bored, at least he didn't like it.

Originally, even if Zhu Youxiao wanted to beat Qian Qianyi, he didn't want to beat him anymore, because as the emperor, if he was led by the nose so casually by Cao Sicheng, the censor of the left capital, how could he control you all? These officialdom old fritters.

"Well, I got it." Zhu Youxiao replied perfunctorily and left the Wenhua Palace, and said to Qian Qianyi who followed him: "Mr. Qian Ge, Xin Weike's examination is about to begin. "

Qian Qianyi was also a little nervous at this time, he had obviously noticed that His Majesty was already bored with him, and the root cause was that Zhu Ziming's performance was too clumsy, so that no matter how deliberately he, the host of the sutra feast, would take it off However, His Majesty suspects that he and Zhu Ziming have financial or other political relations.

But since it was His Majesty Zhu Youxiao who asked him, and he still called himself Mr. Qian Ge, it meant that he hadn't reached the point of being very annoyed, so he felt a little more relaxed, so he replied truthfully: "Yes!"

"You are the head of the cabinet, you are the Minister of Rites, and you are from Tanhualang. Your talents and qualifications are top-notch. You will preside over this test. Be sure to select capable talents for me!"

What Zhu Youxiao said to Qian Qianyi was so loud that Cao Sicheng, the censor of Zuodu, and other officials present could hear clearly, but Cao Sicheng, the censor of Zuodu, was a little disappointed and astonished because His Majesty did not He didn't show any dissatisfaction with Qian Qianyi, instead he called Mr. Qian Ge in front of Qian Qianyi, and asked Qian Qianyi to preside over the next year's Xinweike examination. Everyone knows that the triennial examination It is a grand ceremony for the state to use talents, and it cannot be sloppy in the slightest, and it cannot be presided over by an important minister who is not trusted by the emperor.

But now, His Majesty actually asked Qian Qianyi to preside over Xin Weike's examination next year. Cao Sicheng realized that his initial performance might be wrong, and His Majesty saw the clues, which caused His Majesty's displeasure, causing His Majesty to cover it up instead. She expressed her dissatisfaction with Elder Qian Ge, and made a deliberate appearance of trusting Elder Qian Ge.

"In this way, I had the opposite effect, and I even helped Qian Qianyi by mistake." Cao Sicheng, the censor of Zuodu, thought it was too late to regret, and complained too much.

However, Qian Qianyi became very proud of this, and smiled at Cao Sicheng with great interest, and walked over and said: "Mr. Cao is really well-read and knowledgeable. Someone Qian used to be the chief examiner of the Zhejiang Provincial Examination. You can remember so clearly, according to someone like Qian, not only can you be the censor of Zuodu, but maybe you are more suitable to be the head of the official department, but I don’t know what Cui Tianguan thinks."

Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, just smiled lightly. He is an official with real power in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the head of the six ministries. Naturally, he cannot get too close to Cao Sicheng and Qian Qianyi from the Procuratorate and the Cabinet, so he didn't say anything.

Cao Sicheng had no choice but to pant heavily and his ears were flushed with embarrassment, for Qian Qianyi's humiliation and sarcasm.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had already gone to the Qianqing Palace, and he was not interested in seeing how his senior civil servants were intrigues and ridiculing each other. Cao Sicheng also took advantage of the opportunity of the emperor Zhu Youxiao to leave, and stopped the same Li Mingrui who came over: "Mr. Li Ge, tell me about this. Mr. Cao is just telling the truth, but Mr. Qian Ge is so old-fashioned."

Seeing Cao Sicheng's aggrieved face, Li Mingrui wanted to laugh, and couldn't help but said, "Mr. Cao, you are not telling the truth. You are adding fuel to the fire, but you didn't pour it in the right place. I almost set myself on fire, Your Majesty is the master who sees the details, you think that if you change the way you speak, His Majesty will not be able to see what you are thinking, remember what it means to tell the truth, just as it is, without mixing it Replying to His Majesty with any purpose is the real truth."

Cao Sicheng was still a little unwilling, and he also knew that this time the assistant Li Mingrui and the chief minister of the cabinet Qian Qianyi were even more at odds, so he couldn't help saying: "What Li Ge said is very true, but the old man is still not reconciled. His Qian Qianyi is gone. Zisungen guy, what a show, he is still accepting bribes privately, being a traitor, everyone gets him, but now he is still serving as the chief assistant of the cabinet. "

"Cao Sicheng, speak carefully!"

Li Mingrui suddenly scolded Cao Sicheng in a low voice, pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Aren't you going to die? If Qian Qianyi is Yan Song, then what will His Majesty do today! In the big palace, you still don't want to die?" Dare to be full of nonsense, really think that you are the elder of the three dynasties, and the imperial censor can talk nonsense, so your Majesty dare not do anything to you today?"

Cao Sicheng also regretted his slip of the tongue, and his face turned pale with fright, but he still said in a low voice: "But Mr. Li Ge, we can't just let this corrupt official Qian Qianyi go on so rampant. You presided over it, and now it is handed over to him, if this continues, how will my Daming’s great cause of Zhongxing be realized?”

Li Mingrui couldn't help but sneered coldly: "Wait, man, often the most proud time is the time when you are most likely to fall. Do you think that it is really a matter for him to let His Majesty let Qian Qianyi preside over next year's meeting?" Good thing? Just wait and see."

Hearing what Li Mingrui said, Cao Sicheng couldn't help but his eyes brightened, and he was also secretly proud. Li Mingrui's words showed that this old Li Ge was indeed dissatisfied with Qian Qianyi.

"I also ask the old man to make it clear that I am so old and stupid that I really can't figure out the key point." Cao Sicheng bowed his hands to Li Mingrui and saluted.

Li Mingrui said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty is giving Qian Qianyi the last chance to reform himself. If Qian Qianyi's hands are clean, that's fine. If he does some shameful things again, His Majesty will not be so polite. But do you think that a person like Mr. Qian Ge can be honest and self-sufficient? Even if he is incorruptible and self-sufficient this time, we can make him unable to stop him. Now the number of candidates for the examination has actually increased several times. It has also been turned over several times. When the time comes, find a few scholars and spend a lot of money to move around. Qian Qianyi can't help but give in. You are the imperial censor. If the time comes to clarify this matter, His Majesty will not blame you. Don't forget, You still have the right to gossip."

After speaking, Li Mingrui said again: "Remember, Your Majesty dislikes Yushi's impeachment of him, but he likes Yushi's impeachment of officials, so don't worry about it when the time comes, impeach whatever you see!"
