At noon.
Li Yi left Cao Fengyang, Sun Tingzong, and Xu Hou to dine in the palace and talk about the arrangements for these students.
According to Sun Tingzong, many of the newly recruited officers and soldiers of the new army were outstanding, and Li Yi generously allowed them to enter the martial arts academy with a wave of his hand.
Now, what Li Yi is most worried about is Qin Jin, the prostitute. This guy really makes Li Yi love and hate him. He wants to use it, but he doesn't dare to use it.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Yi took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth with his hand, and asked: "Everyone, who do you think should be more suitable to manage the household department?"
Wiping your mouth with your hands when eating is a bit rude, that is, Li Yi, no one else would dare, but today this etiquette is really not considerate.
Even Mrs. Wang and Queen Ye Qingluan on the side smiled bitterly and could only keep wiping him.
Li Yi had a dinner with the ministers. Logically speaking, the empress Ye Qingluan was the only one. After all, she had the honorary position, and Mrs. Wang was not qualified.
But Li Yi doesn't care about that. Since she is his own woman, how can she be disqualified?
This made Mrs. Wang immediately flattered, and her eyes filled with excitement.
Obviously, this was done deliberately by Li Yi. What he wanted was to let these close ministers know Mrs. Wang so that they would be less resistant when giving her the title of concubine. The other was to comfort Mrs. Wang.
"This..." Although Sun Tingzong was upright, he could still hear the undertones of Li Yi's words. It was clear that Li Yi had a candidate and wanted to use the mouth of his ministers to say it.
"Your Majesty, I don't have a suitable candidate now. I wonder if your Majesty has a suitable candidate?"
Other ministers also spoke one after another, "Yes, Your Majesty, we don't have any suitable candidates around us."
At this time, someone proposed that Qin Jin be appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs.
As soon as this idea was raised, Li Yilongyan was immediately displeased.
That person also had a reasonable basis. This Qin Jin was from a poor family and knew the sufferings of the people. It was definitely a wise move to let such a person serve as the Minister of Household Affairs.
But Li Yi shook his head. Yes, although Qin Jin participated in the martial arts examination, with his talent, there is no problem in serving as the Minister of Household Affairs.
But the poorer the children are, the more they cannot stand the corrosion of gold and silver. There are traces of this.
Children from poor families have been burdened with food and clothing since childhood. Once they come into contact with huge wealth, they will inevitably enjoy it "revengefully". This is human nature.
What's more, Qin Jin's character is destined not to hold a big position unless he can be trained well.
Li Yi pondered for a moment, "I already know it in my heart, but I already have my mind on the candidate for the Minister of Household Affairs. You will know after the next imperial examination."
"The other one is about the arrangements for this martial arts examination. The first place and the second place will go to my imperial army to serve as a thousand households for half a year, and then transfer to the martial arts academy to study. If they pass the examination, they will enter the new army."
But a series of names have landed, including the other top ten names, and the lowest ones are all hundred households, except Qin Jin.
But no matter what, Qin Jin is a rare person in this martial arts competition. He came in third place and couldn't throw it away.
Cao Fengyang asked, "Your Majesty, how will Qin Jin arrange it?"
"Even if Your Majesty wants to train him, he cannot be allowed to serve as a soldier in the Beijing camp. This would be a bit overqualified. This boy has a great heart, a strong writing style, and is proficient in military tactics and strategies. He can serve as a minister in the Ministry of War. More than enough.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, this boy is very talented in literature. Why don't he be sent to the Ministry of War as a minister, and I'll tell you if he has merit in the future." Wei Ziya is also very optimistic about this student named Qin Jin.
At this time, Xu Hou, who had been silent, finally spoke and said in a lazy voice: "My lords, Your Majesty has already had other plans."
Everyone else showed curious eyes and turned to look at Li Yi.
Li Yi glared at Xu Hou, "This boy is indeed very talented. His talent is the first in this martial arts competition. It's just that his temperament is unstable and he is very ambitious. I want to train him a little more."
"I have also left him a general position. As long as he can calm down, I will let him lead an army alone and become a frontier official."
Hearing this, the officials were horrified.
To lead an army alone is the dream of the generals in the world, and it is also the dream of everyone in the world.
What a great love!
In the past, the generals under the late emperor could lead an army alone, but now they are all high officials in the border areas. They are subordinate to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and they are favored for eternity.
Even Cao Fengyang, the head of the military attachés and a first-grade governor, is still a little less interesting than those high-ranking officials.
It can be explained this way. For example, in the case of martial arts fraud, the second generation ancestor of Zhongyi Village can be said to be the culprit. But even though Li Yi was so ruthless, he still only imprisoned them instead of killing them. It was not because of their father. To save face, otherwise, it will inevitably result in the death of people and the confiscation of homes and families.
This is the gap!
It can be seen from this that Li Yi's expectations for Qin Jin can be said to be that as long as Qin Jin does not seek death, he will definitely be prosperous in the future.
But for now, he has to be able to withstand the pressure and enjoy the loneliness.
Sun Tingzong also nodded, without comment, but he still couldn't help but worry: "Your Majesty, after all, Qin Jin is young and energetic, and he has great talents. If he really goes to Beijing to be a soldier, he will easily become dissatisfied. I'm afraid that meeting……"
Li Yi frowned, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and snorted: "So what if you are dissatisfied?"
"If a minister has a rebellious heart, what is the use of his talents? Instead of guarding him against rebellion at any time, it is better to abandon him."
"Similarly, if he cannot withstand my test, then it will be useless for me to use him."
"Everyone, please remember this and don't leak even a little bit."
The ministers bowed their heads and responded.
"Okay, everyone, go back."
Li Yi waved his hand and said that he was tired and it was time to take a rest. How could he leave these two beauties, Ye Qingluan and Mrs. Wang, idle?
After the ministers retreated, Li Yi couldn't wait to pick up Mrs. Wang, which shocked Mrs. Wang.
The key empress, Ye Qingluan, was still present, which was really embarrassing.
But suddenly, Mrs. Wang said urgently: "Your Majesty, please put me down first. I still have something to report."
Li Yi couldn't care about this anymore, the sperm was on his mind, but Mrs. Wang stopped him desperately, "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, it's about what happened in the examination room."
Hearing this, Li Yi frowned, and a bad thought came to him.
He put her down gently and said angrily: "Say!"
Mrs. Wang asked back, "Your Majesty, how do you want to handle this matter?"
"What do you mean?" Li Yi was surprised.
"Your Majesty, rumors are spreading not only in the four cities of the capital, but also throughout the entire Gale Dynasty. Before, it was just a royal face, but now it has gradually evolved to the point where your Majesty has a problem with your moral character, and then it is said that your Majesty has no image of a benevolent king."
After saying that, Mrs. Wang took out a piece of rice paper from her body and said, "Your Majesty, take a look, this is from the four cities of the capital."
"This was recently found in a teahouse by Zhen Guandong. It was circulated by some scholars, and even some lower-class people were affected."
"I came here today for this reason, but I don't know how to tell His Majesty."
Ye Qingluan also took a look and frowned, "Asshole, someone must be behind this."
"How brave, seeking death!"
"Qingluan, come and read it!"
Li Yi's face was ashen. All this must be related to Mr. Yan and Liu Jin. These two bastards, I wish I could chop them into pieces.
Really, the pen of a scholar is the knife of murder!
Last time, the identity of the man in black behind the scenes was still unresolved. This time, something happened again.
Ye Qingluan looked bitter, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to read it."
"Read it!" Li Yi said angrily.
Ye Qingluan raised his hand to reject the palace maids and eunuchs on the left and right, and then muttered in a low voice: "Beating the ministers, robbing the sisters-in-law, doing whatever you want, you are in vain..."
"Keep reading!" Li Yi's eyes turned even colder.
"The evil deeds of such tyrants will be punished by heaven and earth. Such evil kings should be outraged by both humans and gods..."
"..."
These words made Ye Qingluan so angry that he trembled all over. Are these scholars crazy and trying to overthrow the world?
It's just a metaphor, but you dare to openly insult your emperor. Aren't you tired of living?
This is obviously a deliberate attempt to smear Li Yi and the imperial court, and his intentions are to be punished.
These public opinions must not be underestimated, as they can easily lead to dissatisfaction among the people of the world.
The people at the bottom have no ability to distinguish right from wrong. The guidance of public opinion may have terrible effects.
now.
The more Ye Qingluan thought about it, the more murderous intent became on her face. These scholars had really touched her taboo.
And her forbidden love is Li Yi. Although she usually looks gentle and gentle, if someone is unfavorable to Li Yi, she will instantly turn into a murderous weapon.
"Your Majesty, I request your Majesty to issue an order to let me lead people to arrest people. No matter who it is, anyone who has such a thing will be killed without mercy!" Ye Qingluan's eyes were red with anger, and he had murderous intent.
Li Yi was also furious, and the veins in his fists bulged...
