Chapter 338: Harmony is precious

Previous Chapter

So even if she explains it now, people will only think it's a quibble, and it's better not to say it.

However, in the early days of this day, the emperor suddenly mentioned that it was not possible to have a book in the household department. Therefore, it was intended to promote a minister as the Shangshulang of the household department in the early dynasty.

Of course, it is not possible for the ministers of the household department to hand over to the foreign ministers, the emperor thought about it, and felt that the situation in the palace was complicated now, and those old ministers did not know what thoughts they had in front of him.

"Do you have any good candidates!? Now I want to find someone to manage the household department, which is really a bit of a headache. The emperor casually pursed his eyes as he spoke, revealing a sad look, obviously unable to think of any good candidate for the post of head of the household.

The old ministers in the audience all looked at each other for a while, and no one could come to a good conclusion about who should be recommended as the Shangshu of the household department.

Seeing this, Tuoba Heng thought of Su Cimo in his heart, but when he saw the emperor's eyes, he suddenly hesitated a little.

The emperor squinted slightly at the courtiers in the audience, and after waiting for a while, no one came out to speak.

Immediately, the emperor felt a little impatient in his heart.

"What!? Don't all the Aiqing of my country have a suitable candidate to be elected as the head of the household!? The Emperor asked.

Although that voice is quite amiable and respectable, as long as everyone thinks of the fact that the previous Hubu Shangshu colluded with the courtiers to secretly seize the food and salary distributed by the court, they will immediately shudder, as if doing anything is much better than recommending an uneasy person to be the Hubu Shangshu.

The courtiers under the emperor's stand still looked hesitant, and suddenly he couldn't help but take his eyes back from the group of courtiers.

After thinking carefully in his mind for a while, he only thought of one person, and that person was Su Cimo.

He still remembered the last time Su Cimo bravely exposed the brave act of Lin Xiaoru, the head of the household, even if the person in front of her was the prince, her face still did not show half of the fear and cowardice.

The emperor was about to open his mouth to praise Su Cimo's bravery and daring spirit, but before he could speak, he saw His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, who was wearing a royal blue ribbon dress today, walked out of the group of ministers, and then respectfully bowed under His Royal Highness and bowed to the emperor.

"Father! Erchen has a candidate to recommend! I hope my father will listen. The Seventh Prince said in a high-pitched voice, and his voice was all over the hall.

When the emperor saw that someone was promoting courtiers again, he immediately stopped the thoughts in his mind, so he glanced at the seven princes curiously, and then asked, "Oh!?" Tell me who it is! ”

"Erchen thinks it's better to let Lord Chen Qian, the second lieutenant of the Ministry of War, take over the post of secretary of the household department first, Lord Chen Qian is excellent in character and learning, and is proficient in calculating all matters of the Ministry of Finance, this position is perfect for Lord Chen Qian to take over." The Seventh Prince bowed his head respectfully, and his voice was loud in the middle of the hall.

As soon as the emperor heard that it was Chen Qian, he immediately thought for a while in his mind, he was getting older and older, and his memory was not very good, so except for the old ministers in front of him, he almost didn't remember the names of some ministers.

Finally, after thinking for a while, he remembered that the adult named Chen Qian was just a second-rank lieutenant who often walked around the side of the Seventh Prince.

Immediately, a trace of annoyance rose in the emperor's heart, and his eyes when he looked at the Seventh Prince were a little more jealous.

He has always known that he hates the princes most for forming gangs, forming factions, and wantonly coveting his throne. And now, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince committed such a big and unforgivable crime, these seven princes still dare to come out and nominate the people around them as candidates for the head of the household.

The emperor really didn't know if he was really stupid, or if he had no intention of hitting the muzzle, but no matter what kind of thoughts he had, the emperor didn't intend to listen to his words in his heart.

The emperor was angry in his heart, but his face was only slightly red, and then he showed a familiar smile.

"I don't know if the Seventh Prince, do you have any other intentions in electing Lord Chen!? You must know that it is not that there are no people who can hold the post of Shangshu in the household department of the DPRK. The emperor looked at the seven princes in the audience with a scheming look.

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he thought that this was the emperor's test of whether he had a more convincing reason, so he still raised his eyes slightly with a relaxed smile and glanced at the emperor, and then said: "Back to the emperor, I don't know which minister you are talking about?" Erchen felt that with the current strength of the household department, it was very difficult to nominate people who thought they could be qualified for the post of Shangshu. ”

The emperor saw that the Seventh Prince not only did not perceive his temptation, but actually dared to ask which courtier had won the emperor's mind, and suddenly sneered in his heart, and blamed his son for being stupid and not even able to detect the holy will.

So the emperor had a mocking sneer on his face, and then smiled at the seven princes and said, "I'm talking about Su Cimo, the head of the household, Lord Su!" If he hadn't seriously confronted the account books of the household department last time and discovered the problem, I might still be in the dark by some courtiers with bad intentions! Speaking of which, I had promised to commend him, but now the official position of this household secretary also happens to be an opportunity for Master Su to experience it. ”

When the Seventh Prince heard the emperor's words, the smile on his lips that was successful and a little cold suddenly gradually dissipated. He raised his eyes in disbelief and looked at the position of the emperor above, but he saw that the emperor was looking at the direction where Su Cimo was standing with a kind smile at the moment, and he was slightly stunned.

Suddenly, a wave of anger rose in the hearts of the Seven Princes.

He didn't expect that this emperor would be so quickly fascinated by the trap of Su Cimo and Tuoba Heng.

The Seventh Prince's face turned gloomy, but he only lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the emperor's eyes, for fear that he would see the displeasure in his eyes and develop something else bad.

"Your Majesty, please think twice! Although Su Cimo is a good material, but he is just a newcomer, and he has been in the palace for less than a year, you made a decision so early to promote him to the position of the head of the household department, but I'm afraid it's really inappropriate! ”

Although the Seventh Prince was angry with the emperor, he did not forget how to continue to plan and fight the forces of Tuoba Heng and Su Cimo, the household servant. They must not be allowed to succeed so easily, otherwise Tuoba Heng will think that he is a person who is easy to deceive the Seventh Prince.

The prince was depressed, and he didn't sleep well for a few nights after the last incident, but fortunately, the queen mother remembered that he was the prince and helped him intercede in front of his father, and the emperor remembered his identity, and also knew that his elder had a city in his heart, so he didn't care about it, otherwise the prince really didn't know how long he would stay in that sect's mansion this time.

Today, the emperor proposed to promote the Hubu Shangshu, and he didn't dare to interfere anymore, but as soon as he heard that the person who the emperor trusted very much was Su Cimo, the prince's heart suddenly felt like a shock.

The reason why the emperor said Su Cimo was that he also praised her for her contribution in the last case of salary. Isn't this deliberately trying to save his face in front of everyone!? Immediately, the prince was angry in his heart, and his previous hatred for Su Cimo deepened a little in his heart at this moment.

So the prince clenched his fists slightly, and a very bad feeling in his heart gently surged in his chest for a moment.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to overcome the jealousy of his father in his heart, and then walked from the place in front of him to the position in the main hall, bowing slightly.

"Father! No, this Su Cimo is not a brave person, but he was instigated by some people to deliberately create chaos behind his back, and the minister was also wronged by her last time. Father, can't you understand the suffering of your sons!? The prince looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water and said.

Although his father had already mentioned him and explained that he knew that the matter behind it might be done by the prince, but now that Lin Xiaoru, the secretary of the household department, is dead, no one can directly correct this matter as the prince's doing, so even if he is shouting grievances in front of the civil and military officials in the main hall at the moment, his father is not good enough to directly win his face, saying that this matter has something to do with the prince.

Not only that, as long as the father believes that he is also an uninformed person, he may not give Su Cimo the seat of the head of the household book.

Tuoba Heng didn't want to care about this matter, and the current Su Cimo was still a little immature in his eyes, but when he saw that the prince not only confessed the crime, but also tripped over the heads of Su Cimo and his Tuoba Heng, saying that it was the two of them who falsely accused him, and suddenly Tuoba Heng's heart was displeased.

Tuoba Heng glanced at the slender Danfeng eyes slightly, and the domineering sword eyebrows were also slightly raised, and he looked at a close minister beside his father, who was Tuoba Heng's cronies in the palace.

Immediately, the minister received Tuoba Heng's signal, and his eyes immediately moved his body with a serious look, and he walked to the position in the hall from the side.

He respectfully knelt in the hall not far from the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since you think that Master Su is a very good candidate, why not let her temporarily take this position, and also save several princes from arguing about the right and wrong of this matter in the palace. Gu Yun is precious in everything, and the minister feels that the palace is restless for a promotion, but it is not beautiful. The old minister knelt in the hall with a sincere look and said to Emperor Cheng Bingdao very seriously.

The emperor originally saw that these two sons did not know what they were thinking to oppose in the palace, and he was about to get angry, but this old minister came out at this time and said the truth that everything is more precious, and the emperor immediately did not plan to be angry.
