The man from Guoxiang immediately sat upright and became nervous: "May I ask, how can I obtain this great achievement?"
"Don't be impatient when thinking. You must think about this matter quietly before it can be completed. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, it will lead to disaster." Chen Tongpao reminded him seriously.
The Xiang man waved his hand: "That's why I'm here. I'm not afraid of death. Mr. Chen, please say it first."
Chen Tongpao paused and then said: "Now that Liu Zhennian is going to be the prime minister, the prince and others are very angry. They are preparing to join forces with the Ministry of Officials and Xie Yushi to resist together and prevent Liu from coming to power. Seeing that the court is about to be in chaos. Well, we and other people in the bureau can see through it but it’s difficult to tell the truth and it’s difficult to mediate the situation. Therefore, we need to rely on Si Xing."
"Has the proposal to establish a prime minister been submitted to Zhongshu Province for discussion?"
"The memorial has not been formally submitted yet. However...the prince and his gang are waiting for this memorial to be sent up."
"That's okay, but we have to hurry up," Guo Xiangren clicked his tongue, immediately took his coat and stood up, "Time waits for no one, Mr. Chen, I'm leaving!" After that, he turned around and walked out. Outside the door, Tongpao Chen did not stop him.
The Xiang people actually didn't think about this matter. After walking a long way, they approached the door of the dormitory, but they were still a little confused. He immediately gave up the intention of meeting the saint and lingered at the corner gate.
"Hey, who are you?"
When the Xiang people turned around, they saw that the manager, Shen Jing, had come alone. He quickly saluted: "I am Chen Shilang's scribe. My name is Guo Xiang people. I have never met my father-in-law."
"No, I've seen you before," Shen Jing looked him up and down, then grinned and said, "At that time, Master Liu was setting up a banquet, and I was supervising the servants to organize it. I happened to see two people talking in the back room. So I asked carefully, I didn’t expect to meet you today.”
"It seems that the villain is lucky enough to be able to make the general manager take a second look at me, an outsider." The Xiang man bowed twice.
"No need to talk about anything else, what are you doing here?" Shen Jing's face instantly became serious.
"I came here at the request of Minister Chen. I just want to see you." Xiangren replied calmly without any trace of panic.
Shen actually smiled a few times: "Why do you see me?"
"Master Chen said that he heard that General Liu was eager to be appointed prime minister, but the emperor's decree has not yet been issued, so he wanted to ask the father-in-law for the truth." At this point, he thought about how many taels of silver he still had in his pocket, so he went through the show to the end. , "This is your share. It's a piece of cake. Don't refuse."
Shen Jing didn't care about the few taels of silver, he just put them in his bag without even looking at them. However, the Xiang people's calm behavior impressed him. He then smiled and said: "Your Majesty has also heard such rumors, but he is not in a hurry. He said that he will need to submit a report from the Ministry of Public Affairs before making a decision."
The people of Hunan sighed: "All the civil and military officials are waiting for the emperor's decree, and they dare not submit a letter now. If this is the case, it will be detrimental to the court if it is delayed for a long time."
"Then, this..."
"According to my opinion, you can take an item from the chamberlain and hand it over to Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen can take the lead in persuading Mr. Liu to take the throne. I don't know what to do?"
Shen Jing thought to himself: "This must be Chen Tongpao who entered the capital and is trying to use some tricks to win the first prize." Mature and prudent people are more concerned about their reputation and dare not take the blame for infidelity, so they delay the establishment of the prime minister until this point. If that person surnamed Chen is willing to stand up and say what others are silent about, our family thinks it is a good thing.' After thinking about it, he took out a small seal from his sleeve and showed it to the people in Hunan: "This seal is for my personal use as a servant and has nothing to do with the emperor. Feel free to take it."
The people from Hunan hurriedly shouted "yes" a few times, held the small seal in their hands, saluted, and left in a hurry.
Inside the Yushitai. Xie Zanyi, the censor of Zuodu, came to the desk, and after removing all the clerks on both sides, he closed the door with peace of mind. Everything was silent except for the rustling of paper and pen from time to time.
"Your Majesty, a clerk from the Ministry of Personnel wants to see you." The clerk outside reported through the door and window.
"Secretary Office?" Xie Zanyi slowly wrote the last stroke, "Tell this kind of person to leave... Do the officials look down on me?"
"The little ones don't dare to drive them away."
"Keep him going!" Xie Zanyi threw the pen into the bamboo tube.
"He carries a small seal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. No matter how brave he is, he wouldn't dare to stop him."
"Minister of Internal Affairs..." Xie Zanyi put away the paper, folded it into a pile, and stamped it with his official seal, "Then I have to see you."
"Who are you?" Xie Yushi glanced coldly at the Xiang people kneeling on the ground.
"This little man is a servant of Mr. Chen. He has been in Beijing for seven or eight days."
"Get up."
"yes."
Xiangren stood up with support on the ground, blew the dust off his clothes, and then stepped into the threshold of the living room.
"Has anyone mentioned Gao Shangshu to you recently?" he asked tentatively.
"What do you mean?" Xie Zanyi was careful and replied hesitantly: "No, there's no one."
"The younger one is from the official department, so you can rest assured. Shi Sijin has already said it." The Hunan people laughed.
After hearing this, Xie Zanyi naturally smiled knowingly and gradually lowered his guard: "Blame me, blame me."
"Since you have the chamberlain Xiaoyin, are you here with the emperor's will?" He pulled the Xiangren to the seat and asked expectantly.
"Yes," Xiangren knocked the small seal on the table, "otherwise, how could I, a small official, get such things?"
"We were entrusted by the old uncle, but we didn't know the emperor's intention, so we never dared to act rashly. If the emperor supports us, we will die without regrets!" Xie Zanyi patted the table and said.
"Have you finished writing the impeachment memorial?" Seeing that the time had come, the people from Hunan pressed forward step by step.
"It's done! I'll get it and show it to you!" Xie Zanyi was overjoyed and ran to the next room quickly; while the Xiang people stared at the smooth surface of the seal with a pair of sharp eyes.
After a while, Xie Yushi came over with a bunch of documents and said with a smile: "Go to the clerk's office, I have this thing in my hand!"
"Can I have a look at it?"
"What you said is right. How can I not give face to the officials?" He opened the document and pointed it out to the Hunan people line by line. The people of Hunan didn't care about this, and they couldn't understand the quotations from scriptures. They just yawned a few times and nodded curtly.
"Xie Yushi is truly the pillar of the country!" The people from Hunan clapped their hands and exclaimed, "These words really scold Liu Thief and make people's blood boil!"
"How dare you, how dare you," Xie Zanyi became even more happy, "Without the order from the old uncle, I would not dare to use my pen arbitrarily."
"I don't understand very well. This matter must be discussed by the two officials, Gao and Ye. Can the Censor lend this document to me?" Xiangren said lightly, observing the latter's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zanyi didn't care and pressed the document into his palm: "This matter really needs to be checked by the officials. If there are any changes, it can be easily discussed."
"Thank you, sir! I will lend you half a day. At noon tomorrow, we will write a letter of impeachment together. We must not give up the country!" The people of Hunan were beaming with joy, and they bowed and worshiped.
