The scorching heat is gradually disappearing, and the coolness of autumn appears.
As the saying goes, people are sleepy in spring, sleepy in autumn, and take a nap in summer. Now that it is the turn of summer and autumn, how can people not be sleepy?
So, just after noon, Qi Yu put away the files, leaned on the desk and rested for a while.
Just when the dream of spring had reached its critical point, the sound of Master Siqing's dry cough suddenly came to my ears.
Qi Yu was awakened.
Don't panic!
He first pretended to wake up naturally, then gently wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Sir, are you calling me?"
Si Qing had a cold face, very displeased, and he couldn't help but snorted heavily.
Well……
Why do you look like you've lost eight hundred dollars?
Could it be that you think I sleep a lot during working hours?
That's not the case, everyone is sleeping, so you can't just use me as a model, right?
This time, he thought too much.
Lord Siqing told him clearly: "I'm looking for you because I have official business to discuss, and it has nothing to do with your laziness in politics."
Oh, that's fine.
Lazy government will be punished with a salary!
Qi Yu put away his guilty conscience and said with a smile, "If you have something to do, sir, you might as well say it clearly."
"Well..." Si Qing sighed and said helplessly: "Qi Yu, do you know that someone read your book before the holy case?"
What?
Join me?
Qi Yu was stunned, couldn't help laughing, and said: "I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir. I'm just a petty official who raises horses. I don't participate in politics and I don't discuss politics. What's the point of participating in it?"
"What I said is true!" Si Qing paused and replied seriously.
real?
Weird thing, who did I offend?
Qi Yu looked confused and asked, "Then, why did you interfere with me?"
The temple minister sighed: "I also just received the news. It is said that it was you who were recruited by Wu Wanrong, the newly appointed censor of Zuoqiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He said that you forced the big black horse given by the emperor to have sex day and night. In the end, The horse died of exhaustion in the stable due to overindulgence.”
ah?
Is the horse exhausted?
When did this happen?
The temple minister said: "What happened the day before yesterday."
Qi Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, feeling a little panicked.
Lao Zhao is also true. He claims to be Xiangma's Bole. How can he let Yuzhi's horse die suddenly after working hard day and night?
You know, from a very calculated point of view, taking away the things given by the emperor can barely be regarded as a crime of disrespect.
Besides, the horse died a very ignominious death.
Suddenly, Qi Yu's mind flashed, and he came back to his senses and said: "Master Siqing, you just said, who participated in me?"
"Wu Wanrong, the imperial censor of Zuo Qian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
Um? It's him?
I remember that two days ago, there was a rumor that this person was lucky to be promoted. Unexpectedly, he was promoted from the Hanlin Academy to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
This promotion route is still very reasonable.
The Hanlin Academy is a place for talent cultivation. In layman's terms, it can be called an academy for senior cadres. Anyone who comes out of there will generally be put to good use.
However, this Wu Wanrong should not be included.
You know, he is a sycophant!
Qi Yu suddenly realized that his judgment was very wrong.
Before, I had always thought that any moral king would like ministers who can govern the world and hate flatterers, but in fact this is not always the case.
The actual situation proves that when the emperor uses capable ministers, he will also bring one or two flatterers.
This is not difficult to explain.
Let's put it this way, capable ministers often give advice and often fight with the emperor, but flattering ministers are exactly the opposite. He will definitely stand up for his master publicly.
In this way, it will not appear that the emperor is alone and weak, at least it will appear that there are one or two people accompanying him.
This is the so-called emperor's art.
Sometimes, it's very unpredictable.
And this Wu Wanrong, it seems that he is really targeting me.
In fact, the temple minister also felt quite embarrassed. What happened to this horse was disgraceful. As the leader of the Xingtaipu Temple, his face was not good-looking. Apart from anything else, there was always a suspicion of lax restraint on his subordinates, right?
I have no choice but to face it calmly when things happen.
Yes, Si Qing said it, Qi Yu must defend himself.
Self defense?
How can we help ourselves?
After the Lord Siqing left angrily, Qi Yu couldn't help but frown.
The emperor is serious, why don't you suppress this matter?
Isn't this intentional to embarrass me?
Qi Yu guessed correctly.
The emperor was really free this time, he just wanted to see this joke on purpose.
Yes, I haven’t encountered such an interesting thing for a long time.
So, he followed the trend and acquiesced in Wu Wanrong's firing.
Sometimes, watching the courtiers pinch each other is more interesting than watching the quail fight.
Watching people fight is endless fun!
Qi Yu finished grinding the ink with a grimace and started thinking with his pen hanging.
How should I write this excerpt?
Well, this has to be done artistically, otherwise it will cause a big joke.
Don't be afraid!
The past six months or so have not been in vain. It is still possible to portray the majestic image of this horse.
Therefore, Qi Yu wrote:
Ever since Wei Chen took up the important post in Xingtai Pu Temple, he has always regarded our dynasty's horse administration as a top priority... As we all know, our dynasty's war horses are short in stature and have often been involved in wars. Thinking of this, Wei Chen sighed day and night, I can't sleep without thinking... How to improve the shortcomings of our dynasty's war horses is also an urgent matter! ... In order to sow good seeds, Yuma worked tirelessly and exerted all his energy. In the end, he died generously for his country due to exhaustion of essence and blood. Yuma's move is admirable. Therefore, I sincerely request your Majesty to allow me to bury him with a soldier's rites at Taipu Temple!
Ahem, this is not self-defense, it is clearly asking for credit.
"What nonsense!"
"Nonsense!"
What makes Wu Wanrong even more disgusted is that Qi Yu actually elevated that beastly matter to the level of national strategy. How ridiculous is this?
After the emperor read it, he didn't say a word or make any comments. At the same time, he thought to himself: Is Qi Aiqing taking the opportunity to show her loyalty? In other words, do you want me not to forget him?
When Wu Wanrong saw that his Majesty had no intention of appeasing him, he became even more enthusiastic and began to angrily criticize Qi Yu again: How can the improvement of war horses rely on the actions of animals?
Qi Yu immediately defended himself: If he didn't rely on the actions of animals, how could he rely on your actions?
This...is insulting to politeness!
It’s unbecoming!
So, the emperor said something as if he was out of sight and said: Okay, let's do this for now.
What does this mean?
Is that the end?
Just when the emperor was secretly sighing that Qi Yu could not be used in a big way and could only show off his words, a piece of good news suddenly came.
The governor of Shandong, who has been in Liaodong all year round to inspect the public sentiment, sent the above list and said: Woohoo! Sheji is very lucky! It is reported that the followers of the evil cult in Qilu land were fortunately enlightened by the emperor, and they realized their mistakes in time, corrected their evil ways, and returned to the orthodox religion. The Holy Emperor can use his arch to cure...
The emperor secretly spat: This governor of Shandong is the worst person. He doesn't share my worries on weekdays, but he runs very fast when asking for merit.
After scolding, the emperor turned to smile again.
Haha, I didn’t expect that this Harry had another trick, and he actually managed it!
Um!
Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. This strategy is very appropriate.
Wonderful!
As for Qi Yu who offered this plan, the emperor had to take another look at him.
Facts speak louder than words, this guy is indeed a talent.
Since they are talented people, they are suitable for doing big things and difficult things, otherwise their talents will be wasted.
It just so happened that I had such a hot potato in my hand. How about throwing it to him?
Not to mention, this guy is really the perfect choice!
The emperor raised the corner of his mouth and made a calculation in his mind.
