Speaking of Chongzhen, looking at Wang Chengen's hurried back, he smiled smugly, and suddenly there was a strong desire to talk.

"Who are you going to talk to? I told Zhou Hou before, but I just disobeyed her, and she just gave birth, so it is obviously inappropriate to tell her at this time. Who else but her? Chongzhen couldn't think of it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Alas, I am the king of a country, and I don't even have a person to talk to. ”

sighed, Chongzhen didn't want to be discouraged, and then thought: "How lonely it has been since ancient times, there is no way, who called us the king of a country?" ”

Thinking about it, I was in a slightly better mood, and suddenly raised my head, but I saw that Concubine Tian was dressed in plain clothes, and she was looking at herself with a smile: "I actually came to her again, it just so happens that I hurt her last time, so I can count it as accompanying her." ”

made up his mind, Chongzhen didn't wait for her to salute, so he came over and hugged her, half-flattering and half-ostentatiously telling her about rewarding her family.

Concubine Tian was going to get a half-official position for her family, but she didn't want him to make such a decision, knowing that he must have been affected by Zhou Hou again, she couldn't help but hate in her heart, but in view of the lesson last time, where did she dare to make a little noise, and she just tried her best to cater to him.

Chongzhen didn't know what she was thinking, but when the mustard in her heart was lost, she was naturally happy.

Zhan Shi and Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, were worried in the mansion, sighing and sighing.

The doorman and the Ministry of Rites said strangely: "I don't know why the adults sigh? ”

Qian Qianyi said: "Because Liu Hongxun and Lord Liu were impeached and suddenly demoted to Daizhou to guard the border, the emperor ordered to push the ministers, so I am worried." ”

Qu Shiyun was more curious, and said: "After the new emperor ascended the throne, he paid special attention to our Donglin Party members, at present, our Donglin Party people have accounted for the majority in the court, even if they have an absolute advantage in the cabinet, the adults just took the opportunity to go further, but why sigh?" ”

Qian Qianyi said: "Shi Yun doesn't know what, the emperor used our Donglin Party members at the same time, but also enabled Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and others. Zhou Yanru is 21 years old, even the Zhonghui Yuan, the champion, Wen Tiren is a little worse, but he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty, and he is considered a humble boss, if these two people also enter the cabinet, their qualifications and prestige will be above me. ”

Qu Shiyun suddenly realized: "It turns out that adults are worried about this, this is easy to do, let's try to make these two people unable to enter the candidate list." ”

Qian Qianyi had exactly this idea, but he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is this okay?" If this is the case, you must pay attention to confidentiality and do not disclose it in the slightest. ”

Qu Shiyun said: "This matter will be handed over to the lower officials, the adults don't care, the lower officials will go to the main promoters and persuade them to give up." ”

Qian Qianyi said: "Don't underestimate Shi Yun, this is not a trivial matter, if you don't do it, you must do it, Shi Yun and don't worry, let me think about it again." ”

Qu Shiyun said disapprehantly: "What is there to think about?" Above the court, we have to speak with strength, with our current strength, I want to see, who dares to disobey? ”

Qian Qianyi said: "No, this matter can't be pressed, you have to convince them, otherwise, when it comes to the critical time, they suddenly change their mouths, what can you do?" In this way, if they refuse to obey, let us unite with them for each other's benefit, and the alliance will be stronger. ”

When Qu Shiyun heard this, he said "high" and went to handle it.

At this time, Wen Tiren was thinking: "Can't we enter the cabinet?" This is a rare opportunity. However, being elected to the cabinet must be based on seniority and prestige, and we are certainly not qualified for this alone. ”

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren was tightly caged by a heavy disappointment. I don't know how long it took before he reluctantly continued to think: "Hmph, we also have our advantages, the emperor has just ascended the throne and promoted us to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the position is higher than those whose qualifications and reputation are higher than ours."

What does this mean? This shows that the emperor intends to reuse us. What does the emperor do? Isn't it up to him to have the final say in everything? With his support, what is the point of joining the cabinet? ”

Thinking about it, Wen Tiren became confident again. coldly, but he couldn't help but think: "Did the emperor support you and give you a promise?" No, everything is your subjective assumption, how can you conclude that the emperor will support you? ”

Realizing this, disappointment came back to me. When you are disappointed, it is like falling into an ice cave, and when you are full of confidence, it is like the sun is shining.

This alternating hot and cold alternated for a full month.

On this day, there was finally a result: Cheng Jiming, Qian Qianyi, Zheng Yiwei and other eleven people were selected, and Qian Qianyi ranked first.

"How so?" Wen Tiren almost couldn't believe his eyes, and after looking at it, it was still it!

Wen Tiren almost wanted to go crazy, but he didn't have a seizure, he thought that the thunderstorm was the most incompetent performance, and there was nothing more effective than finding the loopholes in it and solving the problem in a targeted manner.

However, this is a note with eleven names written on it. Wen Tiren looked motionless for three days, and then got up to find Zhou Yanru.

Why? Zhou Yanru is well-behaved, very good at observing faces, left and right, deeply favored by the emperor, his qualifications and prestige are above him, and he did not enter the selection list!

At this time, he alone would definitely not be able to reverse the situation, he had to find an ally, and he believed that Zhou Yanru was his most determined ally.

Zhou Yanru was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites at the time, and he was also Wen Tiren's subordinate, and he was on fire in the nest like Wen Tiren, and when he saw Wen Tiren coming in a hurry, he knew what he meant, so he pretended to be puzzled: "Who is so bold to make Lord Wen so angry?" ”

Wen Tiren snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Fuck, these little ladies raised them, they promised well, and they didn't recognize anyone when they turned their faces." ”

Zhou Yanru encouraged: "No wonder they, there must be someone in it who is making ghosts, doesn't Lord Wen really know?" ”

Wen Tiren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, who is it?" ”

Zhou Yanru was only suspicious, where did he know who it was, but he still pointed at the name of Qian Qianyi, who was ranked first, and said, "If it's not him, who else can there be?" ”

Wen Tiren didn't doubt that he had him, and he hated him so much that he said, "It turned out that he was raised by this little lady." With that, he turned and left.

Zhou Yanru smiled secretly and said, "Where are you going, Lord Wen?" ”

Wen Tiren said: "Go to see the emperor, this matter must be reported to the emperor clearly." ”

Zhou Yanru said: "Yes, it should be made clear to the emperor, but what about the evidence? ”

Wen Tiren thought about it, turned around, and said unwillingly: "There is no evidence, is there no room for maneuver in this matter?" ”

Zhou Yanru was afraid that he would be discouraged, and said: "Yes, of course there is, and this matter must have aroused the suspicion of the emperor, but someone has to push the emperor again." ”

Wen Tiren said: "What do you push? ”

Zhou Yanru pondered for a while, came over and attached it to Wen Tiren's ear, and said like this.

When Wen Tiren heard this, he was overjoyed, and said again and again: "Okay, I'll do it." After speaking, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yanru in a daze, and secretly thought: "This guy is so fucking black, why should I do it?" Oh, I did the offending thing, you wait for nothing. Hmph, sooner or later, even you will be excepted. ”

Thinking secretly, seeing Zhou Yanru coming over, he knew that he couldn't leave him at this time, so he smiled sweetly at him.
