In the quiet Qin'an Palace, the monarch and his ministers continued their so-called secret talks.
In the eyes of the emperor, Qi Yu was considered a courageous person, and he actually took on this matter, but he didn't know that the latter had his own ideas.
Yes, Qi Dalang's move was out of selfish motives.
So what is selfishness?
——Hate!
Yes!
Looking back on the past: my ancestral home was burned, my brother-in-law was beaten, my wife and brother were imprisoned, my wife was injured and gave birth prematurely and was infertile, my second uncle was seriously injured and died. In addition, Xiaotong's biological parents were killed, and I was almost killed by a knife... these These are all given by the Emperor Worship Cult.
In the past, I had been looking for opportunities to try to retaliate, and then offered a strategy that could use stones from other mountains to attack jade. From now on, the effect of poaching is still good.
However, this little damage is not enough!
Now that I have this opportunity, how can I miss it?
Therefore, when faced with the emperor's inquiry, Qi Yu agreed without thinking.
However, besides selfishness, there are other reasons.
Not to mention anything else, just based on the "Three No Strategies" that the emperor shouted out, it was worth working for him, and he was willing to do so.
However, Qi Yu realized something was wrong after getting excited!
In other words, something is very wrong!
How come we, Bi Mawen, are needed to investigate and handle this case?
You see, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which of these departments is not a case-handling agency, why did they choose people from Xingtaipu Temple?
So, Qi Yu said: "Your Majesty, why don't you choose someone within the three divisions, instead choose a minor minister? You know, I don't have any experience in investigating and handling cases."
The emperor chuckled and said indifferently: "My dear, you are humbled. In my eyes, you are a very talented person. You see, in addition to writing, you have also contributed to the mace and made works. "The Bandits of the Emperor-Worship Cult", he also wrote "The Profit and Loss Has a Solution", and also drew the "Dafeng Territory Map". Based on these, you can learn from this. You are a person with great talents. It is natural to investigate and handle these cases. It’s no problem.”
This conclusion has no logic and is even somewhat unreasonable. Who believes it?
If that were the case, how could I still be left in the Xingtaipu Temple by you?
Qi Yu said nothing, but suspicion arose in his heart.
Seeing this, the emperor thought for a while and simply said: "I will tell you the truth. You are the best choice to investigate this case!"
"this……"
"You still don't understand? Let's put it this way, apart from me, you are the only one who knows the secrets about Prince Yongchuan. Therefore, you are the most suitable person to deal with Princess Sichuan!" Then, the emperor's face became condensed again. , said: "If I choose someone else, it is inevitable that I will kill the donkey after the incident, but I don't want to do that."
That thing...what does it refer to?
Could it be that the emperor killed his brother?
oh, I get it!
If you look at it this way, you have become the only candidate.
However, the emperor guessed wrong. In fact, besides himself, Meng Lanshan and his son also knew about this matter.
However, these words must be rotten in the heart and must not be spoken out.
Qi Yu first nodded in agreement, and then said: "Wei Chen is now the deacon at Xingtaipu Temple. If he does these investigation things, will the ministers criticize him?"
That is, the suspicion of being a substitute is avoided.
The emperor said: "It doesn't matter. Isn't it justifiable for me to make you a censor? Who dares to criticize you?"
This makes sense.
A censor refers to a person who works for the emperor. Even the veterans of the cabinet have no right to interfere, and no one can say anything.
Moreover, the emperor has the right to choose and appoint people. Even if he is willful, he will not violate the rules.
So, the matter was settled.
Qi Yu asked again: "Your Majesty, what kind of censor do you plan to make me?"
The emperor smiled: "Promote the weaving of censorship!"
What?
Insect Censor?
To promote weaving, that is: crickets, also commonly known as crickets.
This title is a bit too funny, right?
Qi Yu wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh, so he could only hold it in.
As for why he was granted such a royal title, the emperor also gave an explanation.
"When you go here, in addition to investigating Princess Sichuan, you also want to help me find some high-quality weavers along the way. That's why you are granted the imperial title. Besides, if you go out in the name of looking for weavers, you can also play a role to a certain extent. To deceive others.”
Qi Yu nodded suddenly and said, "I understand the intention of hiding it from others, but what's going on with this casual conversation?"
Yes, how should we understand this road?
The emperor smiled and said: "My dear, I don't know. Ningyang County is the hometown of weaving. You will be on your way there. To be honest, I have been attracted to the famous people there for a long time."
Haha, the emperor is indeed called the emperor for nothing.
True to its name!
I don't understand how to promote uniform reputation, let alone why the emperor chose the distant rather than searching in the capital.
So, he said: "Your Majesty likes to promote weaving, why don't you send eunuchs to the countryside to capture them? If you go to Ningyang County to search, wouldn't you be looking for something far away?" Seeing that the emperor was puzzled, he explained: "I think the ministers were still there back then. When I was farming in the south of the Yangtze River, I often walked around the fields. To be honest with you, the fields and fields were full of grasshoppers, crickets and katydids. It only took a cup of tea to catch several kilograms. Well, that's it. Once fried, it’s still edible.”
"Ha ha……"
The emperor was amused.
Yes, promoting weaving is just fighting insects. How can we talk about weight?
The emperor suppressed his laughter and explained: "My dear, I don't know something. Crickets are for entertainment and not edible." After a pause, he added: "My dear, you know that Ningyang is famous for its crickets. The crickets produced there are Douchong is not only of high quality, but also has a strong temperament, and is praised by the world as the number one insect in Jiangbei. In addition..."
This time, Qi Yu really couldn't help but laugh.
How can a mere insect have a strong temperament?
Is it a bit over?
The emperor said that it was not an exaggeration.
This way is knowledge.
All right!
Then, the emperor talked a lot more rhetorically, but Qi Yu didn't understand a word of it.
Finally, the emperor realized that he was playing the piano to a cow, so he coughed dryly, and then returned to the topic and preached: "If you go to Ningyang now, I won't do you any harm, I will reward you! ... By the way, think about it again, and you will be rewarded!" Do you have any difficulties? If so, please tell me and I can help you solve them."
have!
When you encounter this kind of opportunity, you have to have an idea if you don’t have one!
Qi Yu's mind was racing, and he decided to seize this rare opportunity: "Uh... Wei Chen is indeed in trouble! Your Majesty, Wei Chen probably has a narrow escape from death when he goes to Qilu, so before leaving, I would like to plead One thing for Your Majesty."
What a bullshit narrow escape.
The emperor suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot, and he would not have asked if he had known better.
"Say it!"
Qi Yu smiled and said: "Weichen has a cousin named Zhou Chunsheng. He has not made any great achievements in the imperial examination. This is also a problem for Weichen. If Weichen's departure is really heroic, I beg your majesty to let him come. How about replacing the minister's position?"
The hidden meaning is: just to make an exception and promote!
Is it difficult?
For the emperor, it is not difficult, a small matter!
Yes, this is not just a matter of promoting someone to a high position.
So, the emperor directly gave him a reassurance: "If you really handle this matter well, not only will you be my cousin, but I will also promote you to a higher position. Anyway, since you said this, I will I'll give you a favor and ask your cousin to come to Beijing later, and there will be arrangements with the Ministry of Personnel."
This is a golden saying!
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
"..."
As for the safety issues during this trip, the emperor must have other arrangements, so Qi Yu doesn't need to worry about it.
That's it, that's it, resign.
Just as Qi Yu turned around, the emperor's voice came to his ears again: "By the way, in your movie "Fighting Swordsman in the Wind", you should erase those things about the temple. Well, and... From now on, don’t give away the things I gave you to others. As for your painting, I reluctantly gave it to you, but I didn’t expect that you didn’t know how to cherish it.”
sweat!
How come the emperor knows everything?
You should really pay attention in the future!
"Yes, Wei Chen has noted it down!"
