Man is a creature that is good at hiding.
From the moment Wang Miao first came into Xu Youzhen's sight, he was hiding and pretending.
He pretended to be Xu Youzhen's little fanboy.
Do whoever you want to do, and be obedient.
Wang Miao, who was just an inspection censor at the beginning, just thought that he would be satisfied if he could hang out with Xu Youzhen for a few years and get a governor, chief envoy, or a provincial official.
But after he became the deputy capital censor, his mentality gradually changed.
It turns out that I can reach this point too.
Without real talent and learning, you can become a high official in the court just by flattering someone.
Is that the height that Yu Qian, Li Xian, and Xu Youzhen can reach? I can also reach it with a little effort.
In this way, Wang Miao changed his view.
After he really became the censor of Youdu, he no longer wanted to go abroad.
He has a new goal.
I want a promotion and a salary increase...
To stay in the capital...
I want to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister...
To leave a name in history...
He wants to become a sign of their family. When he dies, a new room in the ancestral hall will be opened and a new page in the family tree will be opened for him to start.
Wang Miao wants too much.
But he did nothing.
He believed that Xu Youzhen's official career was achieved through playing and playing. He could also do what Xu Youzhen could do.
But Wang Miao didn't know that Xu Youzhen was not only eloquent, but most importantly, he could get things done and was capable.
But Wang Miao only had Xu Youzhen's gift of speaking, but he didn't have much ability at all.
When a person has been unsuccessful for decades and then becomes someone he admires in just five years, then this person is prone to arrogance. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
In fact, Wang Miao was promoted so quickly because the struggle between Li Xian and Xu Youzhen entered a fierce stage, and Wang Miao made progress through the struggle.
He is good at fighting and can speak, which are his advantages.
But just because you can talk, it doesn't mean that this guy is really good.
His laziness, lack of governance, greed, lust, and incompetence all appeared one after another after he was far away from the capital and the emperor...
Now we’re in Kunming.
Don't leave the front door, don't step out the second door, let yourself indulge, live your life wantonly, completely relax yourself, and show your truest self.
Officials ranging from the chief envoys to the inspectors and down to the local officials had nothing but respect for Wang Miao, and regarded the actions of the censor of Youdu who came from the capital to Yunnan as normal.
Because the person standing behind Youdu Yushi was Xu Youzhen, and he was Xu Youzhen's confidant. This seemed to have become a common knowledge to everyone in the Ming Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, neither the officials in Yunnan nor the officials from the capital who accompanied Wang Miao to Yunnan dared to impeach Wang Miao...
Capital.
In the Palace of Qianqing.
Xu Youzhen is still running to draw clear boundaries for Wang Miao.
Zhu Jianshen is sitting on the throne, with Zhao Huanong standing behind him on the left and Gao Yi standing behind him on the right.
Down below, Xu Youzhen was still talking.
Zhu Jianshen listened carefully, but all he said were bad things about Wang Miao, and he didn't say it clearly, and he said it all in a roundabout way.
"Your Majesty, Wang Miao was born in Shilin in the south of the Yangtze River. He is from a prominent family in Hangzhou. He was successful at a young age and does not know the sufferings of the people. I always feel that it is inappropriate to leave the comfort to him. How about your Majesty arrange for a deputy envoy to go there."
"Your Majesty, I am really upset. Although Wang Miao is closer to me on weekdays, I still don't trust him. I dare not hide anything in front of Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, why don't you let me go to Yunnan in person..."
After hearing this, Zhu Jianshen spoke slowly: "The southwest is too far. You are an important minister of the imperial court and my right-hand man. I really can't bear to let you run so far."
"Speaking of which, the matter at Duke Yansheng's Mansion has almost come to an end. Lu Yu has done a good job. Of course, the primary credit lies with you."
"It is a blessing for me to have the censor of Xudu."
Xu Youzhen, who was anxious, suddenly relaxed after hearing Zhu Jianshen's words.
There's even a little surprise.
Seeing the faint smile on His Majesty's lips, Xu Youzhen felt like she was tasting the sweet plum sauce...
Now Zhu Jianshen really hopes that Xu Youzhen can work for the Ming Dynasty for twenty years until he is seventy years old. Of course, he will not let him run that far.
Letting Wang Miao go to Yunnan is to train Wang Miao. From now on, all the errands assigned abroad will be done by Wang Miao.
Of course, even if Zhu Jianshen was smart, he still knew nothing about Wang Miao until he got the secret report.
He reused Wang Miao entirely for Xu Youzhen's sake.
Last time, Li Xian recommended Liu Qingzong, but Xu Youzhen opposed it. Han Yong and Li Xian criticized Xu Youzhen together, which made Zhu Jianshen notice that Xu Youzhen was slowly becoming weak, so he promoted Wang Miao in an unusual way.
And in the future, there will be plans to take Zhan Yang to the next level.
Until now, Zhu Jianshen still couldn't imagine that there could be such a bold person in this world, turning a deaf ear to the emperor's will, and not even being willing to act out his duties.
"My lord, I have lived for so many years, read so many books, and worked so hard just to be by Your Majesty's side, to serve Your Majesty with loyalty, to travel for all the people, and to devote myself to the Ming Dynasty. How dare you be greedy for credit, let alone To accept such high praise from His Majesty." Although Xu Youzhen declined in words, she was extremely happy in her heart.
After Zhu Jianshen listened to Xu Youzhen's words, he smiled lightly.
"Anyway, that's what I think."
"Alas, I thought of Shi Heng again. If Shi Heng can be more knowledgeable, I can give him the title of Duke. Since I came to the throne, the person who has hurt me the most is Shi Heng, but even if he has done so many treasonous and unethical things, I don’t want to kill him either…”
"Censor of Xudu, please don't break my heart in the future. In the future, we, the emperor and the ministers, will be one. You will help me make the people of the Ming Dynasty live a prosperous life, increase their households and population, inherit the rule of Renxuan of the Ming Dynasty, and create a new prosperous age of Chenghua. And you have left your name in history and become a wise minister like Sanyang and Taibao. I also know that your reputation has deteriorated a bit because of your work. But next, I will leave those messy things to others. We won’t drag down your reputation anymore, we will also give you the successor of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of Li will have a good story about the emperor and his ministers."
After hearing what His Majesty the Emperor said, Xu Youzhen's eyes filled with tears.
Is this an affectionate confession? Oh, that’s not right. Why did you bring that dead guy Shi Heng with you before saying this? This is so unlucky...
Zhu Jianshen had just finished speaking, and before Xu Youzhen had time to express himself, a young eunuch held a secret memorial in his hand and walked quickly into the Qianqing Palace.
After Zhao Huanong noticed the little eunuch, he hurried down and took Anzuo from the little eunuch's hands. Then he turned around, walked a few steps, and placed Anzuo on Zhu Jianshen's imperial case.
Zhu Jianshen saw that it was marked as coming from Yunnan.
At that moment, he picked up the secret report, opened it, and said to Xu Youzhen with a smile: "I don't know why you want to connotate Wang Miao. No, the secret report from Yunnan is coming. Let me take a look..."
While talking, Zhu Jianshen opened the secret music and took a few glances before the smile on his face suddenly stopped...
Xu Youzhen, who had been observing His Majesty's face, knew that his judgment was correct when he saw the change in Zhu Jianshen's face.
He sighed heavily in his heart: "I have always been a drag on others. I never thought that one day, I would be a drag on others..."
