Qian Wei was lamenting that the emperor saw him in a daze and said, "Qian Qing, what are you thinking about?"
"I am thinking about how to deal with the consequences of these things." Qian Wei saw the emperor looking at him with a smile, as if he were a monarch and his minister, but he immediately replied, bowing his head respectfully, not daring to look directly at him.
After all the previous events, Zong Qianwei was still loyal to the emperor, but he also had lingering fears for him.
"Yeah, it's not easy to deal with the aftermath!"
The emperor was very satisfied. He stroked his forehead and took a deep breath, but his expression was much more relaxed.
What matters now is not the governance of the world, nor the war in the world, but the most important thing is the internal problem - Taisun.
The emperor does not need a minister who will resist him, even in the name of serving himself and the court. What he needs is someone who is both capable and loyal to himself only.
"The chief minister retired this morning, what do you think?" The emperor paced and stopped.
Qian Wei himself had already told Qian Wei about the chief minister's retirement.
But although Qian Wei was loyal, he was not stupid. Naturally, he would not let himself seem to have known about it. He raised his head suddenly, showing a hint of surprise. He suppressed the surprise and only replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the chief assistant is... The appointment or appointment of an important minister of the country is no small matter and should be decided by the emperor."
"But if you ask me for your opinion, I think that the Chief Assistant has always done well. He is not even seventy now, so he can still serve you, Your Majesty, for a few more years!"
Although the chief minister has said that he wants to leave, there are almost no cabinet ministers who do not want to be the chief minister. Qian Wei is also a cabinet minister, so naturally he has been tempted for a moment. But after this incident, he has mixed feelings about the chief minister, and he admires him more and more. Therefore, I felt that I was afraid that I was not qualified for this position, so I did not dare to agree.
After hearing this, the emperor just nodded, as if he had taken it in. But after a moment, he suddenly turned around and said, "Qianwei, take the order!"
"I accept the order." Qian Wei immediately knelt down and said respectfully.
"I order you to be the examiner and be responsible for the coming spring!"
"...Yes!" Qian Wei responded immediately, but in his heart, he was even more amazed at the chief assistant's ability to figure out the emperor's thoughts.
The chief assistant could actually tell that if he answered like this, the emperor would immediately order him to be the examiner in the next spring.
Sure enough, those who can be the first assistant are all outstanding people, but I am far inferior.
Beijing
The capital has both maritime transportation and canals. However, at the end of the previous dynasty, there was a financial deficit and there were frequent wars. Therefore, it was silted up and it was difficult for large ships to pass. After the emperor ascended the throne, the finances gradually became abundant. After more than ten years of river management, maritime transportation and canals were connected, so ships gathered. Prosperous business.
There were mats and huts along the river and the streets. Many people were frightened by the sudden thunder, wondering what happened.
"The thunder sounded so weird. Could it be that it was striking some monster?"
"It's possible. You don't know. It is said that there are ghosts here."
"Ah, what the hell?"
"I heard that it was a female ghost from the previous dynasty who hanged herself. She kept sighing quietly at night and scared away several people. The nearest one was bought by Gu Xian Cheng. As a result, she was so scared that she moved away after only a few days. No one dares to buy it anymore.”
"What you heard is wrong. It is not a matter of the previous dynasty. This family was involved with the prince more than ten years ago, so he died..."
"Not only that, I heard that that one is old and confused, and he regards his grandson as his enemy!"
"Hush! Silence, don't talk about these things, avoid disaster!"
The pedestrians who had been hiding from the rain were having a pleasant discussion. After hearing this, they immediately started walking in a hurry and seemed very busy. Many people would rather walk a little longer in the rain.
In the past few months, not only have all kinds of strange things happened in the court, but even the people in the capital have also encountered strange things one after another.
There was a wild god causing trouble in the destroyed temple. This is a consensus shared by many people.
In addition, the strange stories about Taisun and various theories about true dragons were circulated in private.
During this period of transition between the old and the new, the old dragon has lost its energy and can no longer bless the capital, so some supernatural events also occur from time to time.
The troubles caused by monsters, which were only known from outsiders, can now be encountered occasionally in the capital city.
This feeling is indescribable and makes many people subconsciously uneasy.
Today's thunder occurred after the imperial examination fraud case. It was also the sound of drought and thunder. This is really hard to stop thinking about!
The source of the thunder was that the secret room of the remote Gu family house was in dilapidated condition, with monsters all over the floor. The only "person" mixed in it was the fake prince of Zhennanbo Mansion who could not be found in Tanping. , Xie Zhenqing.
Xie Zhenqing's handsome face was covered with dust, and even the clothes that were not stained by dust in the past were tattered in many places, making the whole person look miserable.
With a frown, he slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he stood up suddenly and stumbled before he stood still.
Everything he saw was devastated and devastated, making his heart feel cold.
How powerful is the sky thunder? It even killed several big monsters it summoned. The comfort of being in the capital made me forget the terrifying power of the sky!
"S-Sir!" Just when Xie Zhenqing felt a headache and was thinking about what to do next, a weak voice came from not far away. Xie Zhenqing turned his head to look, only to find that the civet cat was standing up holding the wall.
Not only that, but there was also some noise coming from outside. It was two little demons. These two little demons were also seriously injured, but because they did not enter the secret room and only stayed in the house, they saved their lives. Tone, but there is more air coming out and less air coming in.
"How long has it been?" Xie Zhenqing pressed his forehead and asked.
The civet cat panted and replied weakly: "Sir, it has been three hours..."
"Three hours..." Xie Zhenqing's head was buzzing now. He was not as responsive as before, but after listening for so long, he finally regained some consciousness and said to himself: "It's broken!"
"Hongdao knows that I have a lot of inside stories, so I can't keep him here!"
"It must be dealt with quickly." Xie Zhenqing immediately asked, "How many demons are there in the capital?"
When the sky thunder bombarded him before, he didn't dare to say that he only attacked this place. There were monsters hiding in this place and several other places. He didn't know how many monsters could be used by him.
"Sir, there are only six of us in the house!" The civet cat nodded and said.
Of the six, the tanuki could barely be considered a great demon, but the injuries were serious. The rest were not great demons and could not even transform into human form.
Xie Zhenqing gritted his teeth: "Inform all the demon clan in the capital that Hongdao is a traitor and has betrayed our demon clan. We, the demon clan, will definitely kill him."
"If this person is not in Zhennan Bo's Mansion... then go and intercept him near Taisun's Mansion. Be sure to kill him and leave him alive!"
After giving the order, Xie Zhenqing glanced at it and said: "Whoever can complete the task, I will personally give him demon power to help him get promoted, and I will also teach him three chapters!"
"Yes!" The civet cat immediately became active and immediately responded to the order with a few slightly injured monsters.
You must know that there are different levels of demon power. Once the demon power is given by a superior, you will immediately get many benefits. Not only will you gain a few more magical powers, but it will also open up the path to transformation.
If carps and other aquatic animals receive gifts from the Dragon Lord, there is a glimmer of hope that they can transform into dragons!
This reward was not too high. Suddenly, the civet cat completely forgot about the miserable scene just now.
