When Han You arrived at the palace, he had already been in court for a while. Boss Zhou was sitting in Jingzhi Palace, his eyes were not focused, he was looking up at the ceiling of the palace, in a daze.
When Han You came in, Wenwu called out softly several times before Boss Zhou came back to his senses.
When he saw Han You coming, Boss Zhou, who looked a little dull, immediately became energetic: "Han You, Han You, come quickly, I'm in trouble."
"You won't remember me unless you encounter trouble." Han You walked over angrily.
Wen Wu hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should shout "Bold".
Later, when I thought about having to go to the villa to experience life in the future, I felt uneasy.
Han You didn't even need to take the embroidery pier by civil or military means. Han You sat directly on the steps. The emperor also stood up and sat next to him happily.
Wen Wu hurriedly walked out and asked the guards and eunuchs waiting at the door to leave.
"I called you here because of a trouble."
There is no need to mince words in their relationship, and the way they get along is to get straight to the point.
Boss Zhou Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on the steps and said with a mournful face: "The bastard Zhao Tai is going to be the prime minister."
Han You was confused.
If you want to be the prime minister, you must meet at least two prerequisites. First, you must be recommended by the imperial court, and second, you must agree with the emperor.
The imperial court is a group of ministers. Not only every civil and military official raises their hand to agree, but at least it is recommended by a few important ministers and veterans, and most people do not object.
Even if Zhao Tai meets the first condition, the emperor still has to agree. Boss Zhou kept yelling, obviously he didn't want Zhao Tai to take the position, but he also said that Zhao Tai was going to be the prime minister. Han You didn't understand.
"This stupid person disowns his relatives."
Boss Zhou said angrily: "In order to satisfy me, the Ministry of Civil Affairs impeached dozens of officials one after another. There were six civil servants in the previous dynasty alone, more than ten in each ministry and office, and twenty from the sixth grade in each department. The rest."
Han You took a breath of cold air: "He doesn't want to mess around anymore, offending so many people?"
"In order to be the prime minister, in order to let me know that he can ruthlessly clean up the family."
"That's not right." Han You still didn't understand: "If he continues like this, not talking about various aristocratic families, but just talking about the people in Beijing and the courtiers, these people will definitely not support him. No matter how aristocratic the Zhao family is, A wealthy family can't offend people like this."
"This is the trouble I'm talking about."
Boss Zhou sighed: "Most of the people he impeached submitted letters to resign without any complaints, neither arguing nor counterattacking."
"Fuck you." Han You slapped Lao Ba's thigh: "I understand, Zhao Tairen did one thing before and another behind the scenes. He openly committed a massacre and discussed it with those aristocratic families or officials in private. It is only temporary to deal with them now. Yes, I will compensate them after I become Prime Minister."
"Half right."
Zhou Laoba also patted Han You's thigh: "It's true that it was Zhao Tai who carried out the massacre, but it was the Zhao family who secretly contacted those officials who were offended by Zhao Tai."
"Don't you mean the same thing?"
"No, Zhao Tai really wants to kick those officials out of the court and take off their official robes, and the Zhao family wants to make Zhao Tai the prime minister and do everything possible to appease other aristocratic families."
Han You scratched his forehead, but still didn't quite understand what it meant.
Listen, he understood.
To put it simply, it is a father and son. Zhao Tai is the son and the father is the family.
In order to get the upper hand, the son fucked his own people.
The father went to those who were fucked and said, I know you are anxious, but don’t be anxious now. You are aggrieved. When my son takes over, I will look for you from other places and I will never let you suffer.
Han You understood what this meant, but what he didn't understand was that Zhao Tai was a member of the Zhao family, a blood relationship, and a community of interests. He offended others while appeasing others, and finally reached an exchange of interests. Isn't it still just an act?
Han You's guess was good. Boss Zhou really didn't want Zhao Tai to take the position. What he wanted was the old money man.
The Ministry of Rites' scientific examination is actually a meritorious service. It is nothing to rectify the Shangshu Province and Shentu Gang's gang members. If the scientific examination can be done well, the reputation of the court and the emperor will be greatly improved. When the time comes, let Qian Ji do it. Zaifu also deserves the title.
"Hey." Boss Zhou sighed: "Qian Ji is such a loser. He's not living up to expectations."
Lao Ba was both helpless and disappointed.
Judging from the situation in the past few days, Qian Ji's responsibility for the imperial examination is no different from the situation of the imperial examination in the previous dynasty. It is nothing more than loud thunder and small rain, and heavy penalties for engaging in malpractice for personal gain. But it is just words, and the Ministry of Rites follows the steps. Nothing went wrong, but there was no outstanding performance either.
It doesn't matter. The leader wants to promote his subordinates. As long as the subordinate is not Lu Baichuan, he can do it. The problem is that Qian Ji, except for a few discounts at the beginning, is tepid and shows that he has no interest in "performance". appearance.
He didn't want to show off at this juncture, which would inevitably make the emperor suspect that the old man didn't want to be the prime minister at all.
Han You knew everything about the situation, and he also had his own channels for information.
Hehehe, Han You said: "Are you sure, do you want Mr. Qian to take over?"
"That's what I thought at the beginning, but now..."
Zhou Laoba is also a little unsure. He doesn't like a subordinate who doesn't want to be positive.
If you are disobedient now, you may become even more disobedient when you take over.
Han You said lightly: "Think carefully, if you want the Ministry of Rites to shine in this imperial examination, just transfer it to me and leave the rest to me."
"Are you serious?" Zhou Ke put his arm around Han You's shoulders: "I know you are the most reliable."
Han You pushed Boss Zhou's arm away: "As I said just now, you have to think about it first. Don't let Mr. Qian take the limelight and you change your mind again."
Boss Zhou began to hesitate again. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "It must be Qian Ji. At least he knows the harm that the family brings to the country. Zhao Tai is different. He absolutely cannot be allowed to serve as the prime minister."
Normally, if Boss Zhou didn't want Zhao Tai to be the prime minister, he shouldn't have given out the signal to choose one of the two.
In fact, this is also Lao Ba's helplessness. According to his qualifications, Zhao Tai is qualified. Even if he wants to let Qian Ji take the position, it can't be too obvious.
The advantage of choosing one of the two is to create the illusion of fair competition for the world. Even if Qian Ji comes to power in the end, Zhao Tai will not hold any grudges because his skills are inferior to others.
But there are disadvantages in choosing one of the two, that is, if Qian Ji fails to live up to expectations, Zhao Tai will smoothly take over.
Seeing that Zhou Ke had made up his mind, Han You nodded: "Okay, then it's decided. Write an imperial edict or something, and ask the Yi Dao Guard to assist the Ministry of Rites' scientific examination. I will handle other matters." Just figure it out yourself."
"Can."
Lao Ba was a happy man and looked back at Wen Wu.
Eunuch Suan looked at the pen and ink and the blank imperial edict, and then at Lao Ba who was not moving at all. After thinking about it, he put everything at his feet.
Lao Ba took the royal seal and covered it, rolled up the imperial edict and stuffed it into Han You's arms.
"You go back and write it yourself, and do it as soon as possible."
An inexplicable look flashed across Han You's eyes, he put the imperial edict away and patted his butt: "Then I'm leaving."
"Go quickly, that old good-for-nothing Qian Ji is becoming less and less important. Don't ask Zhao Tai to jump up and down anymore. This guy is crazy now and doesn't even recognize his relatives."
"Understood, just wait for my letter, let's go, bye."
Han You rubbed his waist and walked out of the palace. When he crossed the threshold, he still couldn't hold it back.
Looking back, Han You shouted: "Your Majesty, you trust Wei Chen so much, and you didn't even ask what Wei Chen would do?"
The emperor laughed loudly: "I know your temperament, and you will definitely cause trouble. If you ask me, I will probably not agree, but I also know that you will get things done, rather than waste your words and hurt you and my two brothers." Regarding feelings, it’s better not to ask and just do it.”
Han You stood expressionless for a long time: "Boss Zhou, if I work for you for the rest of my life, will you trust me like this for the rest of your life?"
"You always ask nonsense questions. Don't forget to trust me all your life. If you trust me, Zhou Ke, I, Zhou Ke, will trust you, Han You."
The emperor stood up, waved his hand and returned to the imperial court to approve the memorial.
Han You turned around and left. The imperial edict in his arms suddenly made him feel at ease, extremely at ease.
