Deadly Medical Concubine, Arrogant Second Miss

Chapter 258
As soon as Yin Wuyan came back, he swept away the sluggishness in the imperial court with the momentum of thunder, and punished those officials who questioned the majesty of the royal family more or less, and gave them a blow.

Since then, no one has dared to speak nonsense again.

It's just that there are serious vacancies within the imperial court. Fortunately, Li Wenshu is a stable man and a veteran official in the palace, so he naturally knows many officials.The officials promoted by him are all honest and fair, and they are all satisfactory in doing things.

"Master Li, thanks to you this time." Yin Wuyan looked at the achievements of the new officials and nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty is serious. This is what veteran ministers should do." Li Wenshu bowed his head and said.

"The new Minister of Rites and Minister of War..." Yin Wuyan suddenly remembered that these two people seemed familiar.

"The newly appointed Minister of Rites, Zhou Wen, and Minister of War, Wu Jiang, are the confidantes of the former veterans respectively. Wu Jiang also has some relatives with General Wu, so the emperor can use it first." Li Wenshu understood what Yin Wuyan meant, and immediately explained.

"Bring them here to see me today, and I want to test them to see if they are qualified for these two positions." Yin Wuyan held the signs of "Minister of Rites" and "Shangshu of the Ministry of War" and said to Li Wenshu without raising his head .

"Yes." Li Wenshu bowed his head and agreed.

Zhou Wen and Wu Jiang didn't ask Li Wenshu a word before entering the hall, but followed him into the imperial study.

Before entering the door, Li Wenshu specially told them: "In front of the emperor, don't talk nonsense, do you understand?"

"Yes." The two agreed, and then walked in.

"Your Majesty Li has worked hard. The emperor invited you to go to the side hall to have a drink of tea and rest." Eunuch Li greeted them immediately when he saw them coming in, and he was speaking to Li Wenshu.

Li Wenshu immediately understood what the emperor meant, that he wanted to test them alone.

"Yes." Li Wenshu naturally had to follow Eunuch Li.

But Zhou Wen and Wu Jiang knelt on the ground to greet the emperor without any hesitation or nervousness.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"Pingshen." Yin Wuyan took advantage of the time when they knelt down to take a closer look at them, and found that the images of these two people were somewhat different from what he thought.

Zhou Wen is not as refined as his name, on the contrary, his appearance is a bit rough.Especially his beard, which was messy and barren, as if it hadn't been carefully trimmed for a long time.

Wu Jiang is not as big and strong as his name. He is still young, and his figure can only be regarded as strong, not burly.

"Zhou Wen, I heard that you have read a lot of poetry and books, and you are rich in knowledge, how can you prove it?" Yin Wuyan asked Zhou Wen such a difficult question as soon as he came.

The thinking of scholars who have always specialized in learning is somewhat pedantic, and Yin Wuyan naturally does not want to see the same with his Minister of Rites.So he asked this question in hopes of getting some answers he hadn't heard.

"If you go back to the emperor, I do read while eating, and the knowledge books at home can fit five carriages." Zhou Wen cleverly answered Yin Wuyan's question.

Instead, Yin Wuyan let out a "puchi" laugh.

This Zhou Wen looks interesting, not like a dead scholar.

"As Minister of the Ministry of Rites, how do you think you should control this department well?" Yin Wuyan continued to ask.

"Lead by example, know the pearl with a discerning eye, know people and discuss the world." Zhou Wen only used three words to answer Yin Wuyan's words.

Yin Wuyan's smile deepened after hearing this.Not bad, he does seem to be a thoughtful person.

"What do you think of Li Wenshu?" This is the key point.This is why Yin Wuyan sent Li Wenshu away.

Zhou Wen looked down at his feet, was silent for a few seconds, and then asked: "Does the emperor want to listen to lies that are pleasing to the ear, or the truth that he may not like?"

Yin Wuyan was even happier when he heard that.

Sure enough, Li Wenshu would find someone. Zhou Wen, the Minister of Rites, was worthy of his name and was completely qualified for this position.If you do it right, you can do yourself a huge favor.

"Then let me listen to the pleasant lies first." Yin Wuyan said with a smile.

"Returning to the emperor, the pleasing lie is that Mr. Li is loyal and loyal in his work, and he only wants to seek benefits for the emperor, and the emperor's reuse of Mr. Li is also a smart eye. If Mr. Li is kept by his side, he will definitely be in power. Layers."

Yin Wuyan was silent for a moment after listening to Zhou Wen's words.

He wanted to see Zhou Wen's reaction.And Zhou Wen kept his head down and clenched his fists, nothing unusual.Zhou Wen speaks frankly, without fear of any power, this kind of temperament is very much appreciated by Yin Wuyan.

But his frankness will inevitably offend many people in the officialdom.

"I understand, you don't have to tell the harsh truth anymore." Yin Wuyan said.

"Yes." Zhou Wen said enough and didn't say any more.

"It's you instead. As the minister of the Ministry of War, what advantages do you have?" Yin Wuyan asked Wu Jiang with a smile.

"I don't know. Master Li thinks that I am suitable, so I gave it a try." Wu Jiang's answer was a little casual, which also surprised Yin Wuyan.

These two people are really not the same as ordinary people.It seemed that Li Wenshu really knew how to find someone.

"Well, I also believe Master Li once, and you also let me see how capable you are as Minister of the Ministry of War. How about it?" Yin Wuyan said.

"Thank you, the emperor, for giving me a chance, and I will definitely live up to my trust." Wu Jiang clasped his fists in agreement.

"Let Mr. Li come over from the side hall." Yin Wuyan turned his head and said to Eunuch Li.

When Eunuch Li brought Li Wenshu over, Zhou Wen and Wu Jiang had already stood aside, leaving a large space for Li Wenshu.Yin Wuyan caught this point.

It is enough to show that Zhou Wen and Wu Jiang are not grateful for Li Wenshu's recommendation.

Combining what Zhou Wen just said, Yin Wuyan seems to be able to draw two points.

First, the existence of Li Wenshu makes these two people fearful, but they will not explain it in front of him; second, although Li Wenshu knows people well, he obviously doesn't understand them, so that some people actually say that they are in front of the emperor. The bad thing is, this person was recommended by himself.

"Master Li, I just inspected them." Ji Wuyan told Li Wenshu what happened just now.

"How is the emperor's inspection?" Li Wenshu obviously wasn't worried.

"Of course I'm satisfied. It's just..." Yin Wuyan intentionally left half of the sentence without finishing.

"Just what?" Li Wenshu seemed surprised by Yin Wuyan's "just".
