After repeatedly admiring his handsome face, Xiao Yan himself was shocked:
Good guy, why are the dark circles under my eyes so heavy!
In the past few days, I have been serving the princess during the day and Concubine Shu and Zhao Jieyu at night. Could it be that my body has been hollowed out?
Well...it seems it's time to replenish the body.
Ahem!
"Back to Your Majesty, I have been studying Zhou Tianfu's affairs in the morning recently, day and night, I guess I haven't had any rest!"
Chu Yanwu thought thoughtfully: "That's how it is..."
He added with a hint of indifferent sarcasm: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a eunuch, I would have doubted whether you were drained by women."
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Xiao Chen quickly changed the topic: "I wonder why your Majesty summoned his ministers here?"
Without talking to him about anything, Chu Yanwu said straightforwardly: "The Zhou family has fallen, but Zhou Tianfu is still missing."
"It's really hard to feel at ease for such an ambitious person who can't see anyone alive or dead."
"I order you to mobilize people from Dongchang to secretly investigate Zhou Tianfu's whereabouts. You must bring them back, even if they are corpses!"
Xiao Chen quickly knelt down to receive the order: "Wei ministers obey your orders!"
Not long after the order was issued, when Chu Yanwu went to court, he was divided according to his merits in eradicating the Zhou family, and he also bought a reduction in merits.
"By destiny, Xiao Chen has both strategies and strategies. He is indispensable in eradicating the Zhou family. He is the judge of Teifeng Imperial Academy. Zhang Dongyang assisted with meritorious service and was appointed as the Minister of Dali Temple..."
The ministers congratulated each other, but in private, everyone was talking about it.
The prime minister's position is the most important, equivalent to the emperor's right-hand man, equivalent to one person below him.
But for this position, I am afraid that Chu Yanwu will not appoint him easily again due to manager Zhou Tianfu.
Once the new prime minister shows dissent, he might grow into the next Zhou Tianfu.
Several ministers are getting married, and they are definitely discussing the vacant position of prime minister.
There is desire, but it is suppressed by self-knowledge.
"The position of Prime Minister is vacant. At such an important juncture, I don't know who can win His Majesty's favor."
Another person touched his beard and sneered: "We have no hope anyway."
"However, if you really have to pick someone, it's not like there are no suitable ones."
For example, Xiao Chen and Zhang Dongyang.
These two people, in terms of talent, talent, and merit, are definitely as good as any other official in the court.
The most important thing is that these two guys are young!
Needless to say, everyone knows who the suitable person he is talking about is.
"Let's talk about Xiao Chen. He does have some abilities, but he is a eunuch."
"I heard that he is greedy for money, lustful, and has no ambition. If the position of prime minister falls into his hands, then our pockets will probably be empty!"
Could Chu Yanwu not know Xiao Chen's virtue?
In comparison, Zhang Dongyang is smart, humble, thoughtful and knows how to make progress.
He was already as powerful as Xiao Chen, but with his excellent character, he was able to be slightly better.
Everyone was discussing, and finally came to an answer that was closest to what they expected.
That is: Zhang Dongyang is the future prime minister candidate!
He is young and promising, and has made countless achievements. No matter whether it is right or not, there is nothing wrong with trying to curry favor with him!
As a result, many ministers began to gradually extend olive branches to Zhang Dongyang.
But onlookers were most taboo about privacy on the street, and Zhang Dongyang just stayed away.
The more measured he was, the more determined they were that Chu Yanwu would like this kind of person.
Although Zhang Dongyang is not a good person, for the emperor, this kind of person is the best to control and the most reassuring!
Compared with Zhang Dongyang's gradual improvement, since Xiao Chen became a court judge, the threshold of his private residence has almost been broken.
Those students were rushing to fawn over each other, hoping to find a better future for themselves.
There are countless rare treasures, delicacies from mountains and seas, and precious medicinal materials.
In order to make it easier for everyone to give gifts, Xiao Chen even pulled a banner for them at the gate, specially dividing the areas.
"Come on, come on, put the rare treasures here, the delicacies from the mountains and seas in the middle, and the remaining precious medicinal materials on the far left!"
"After you finish delivering, go in to eat. Leave your name on the paper and let me count it."
Although I think his operation is exaggerated and makes people speechless, as long as he is willing to accept it!
"It seems that the court judge took our friendship seriously and specifically asked us to leave our names, just to facilitate his help in the future!"
"Yes, it's not in vain that my father spent so much effort to find the North Sea Pink Pearl for me!"
The students were chatting and laughing, but Jin didn't know that the real reason why Xiao Chen wanted to register his name was because he wanted to see which guy didn't give a gift and turned around to knock.
Today, he held a small banquet in his private residence to celebrate his promotion and receive gifts!
"Oh my god, it's so easy to make money as an official~"
Xiao Chen rubbed his belly, feeling happy.
No wonder everyone wants to be an official. In addition to power and generous salary, the most important thing is the humaneness and sophistication of those people.
Let’s just talk about this wave. At a glance, it’s more than the regular salary for a few years!
As a court judge, it is natural to make the most of your identity.
If you have nothing to do, I'll give you a hint and give me some small gifts~
However, in just a few days, Xiao Chen's behavior spread among the people, and the court also discussed it.
In the study room, Chen Jin reported on Xiao Chen's situation in the past few days: "Your Majesty, the spies have observed that Xiao Chen has used his status as a court judge these days to make sensible insinuations to students and parents."
"The most outrageous thing is that the boy took the students' money and then went to find his father in private to continue collecting money!"
Tell me, how heartless do you have to be to do such an immoral thing?
Even Chen Jin, who usually accepts small favors, has to keep a low profile and dare not be discovered, but Xiao Chen is so bold.
If such a person became prime minister, he would probably go to heaven directly.
I sit at the door every day, waiting for money from those high-ranking officials who come to curry favor!
Chen Jin was angry, but actually she was more jealous and unhappy.
They are all people who have no life left, so why can Xiao Chen be so successful? Live a carefree life!
But despite Chen Jin's words, Chu Yanwu didn't move at all, and even... smiled?
That’s right, he just laughed!
Relaxing and comfortable!
"Your Majesty, aren't you angry at his behavior?"
Chu Yanwu scolded lightly, "What's there to be angry about? Such a person is quite good."
"The more capable and intelligent a person is, the easier it is for people to be afraid of him. But isn't it the easiest person to control a person like Xiao Chen who is powerful but has no ambition?"
Is it possible that he must be like Zhou Tianfu, smart and deep and terrifying, and become the next extremely dangerous existence?
