Qian Qianyi stepped forward, secretly thinking in his heart, this Li Mingrui was only afraid of losing his control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was eager to establish the imperial history of the Zuodu in front of His Majesty, and did not hesitate to exhort His Majesty to accept concubines in exchange?

But in Qian Qianyi's opinion, His Majesty is not a beautiful and lustful gentleman, and even if he is beautiful, he doesn't need to get the permission of the ministers below, so Li Mingrui's move will undoubtedly only annoy His Majesty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Therefore, Qian Qianyi did not come to stop Li Mingrui's rash move, but was a little happy in his heart, hoping that while he was blinded by His Majesty for proposing the early establishment of the prince, this Li Mingrui would also arouse His Majesty's disgust because of his proposal to establish the imperial history of the Zuodu as soon as possible.

As Qian Qianyi expected, at this time, Li Mingrui's proposal to establish the imperial history of the left capital as soon as possible did make Zhu Youxiao feel a little surprised, but it was not disgusted, because whether Li Mingrui was out of selfishness or out of public intentions, the position of the imperial history of the left capital could indeed not be controlled all the time, and Zhu Youxiao could put aside the establishment of the crown prince, but he could not always shelve the establishment of the imperial history of the left capital, and this happened to be the right thing that a cabinet minister should do, that is, to maintain the administrative order of the empire as much as possible.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not express his anger at Li Mingrui because of this, but laughed and asked tentatively: "In Aiqing's view, who should be responsible for the post of Zuodu Imperial History?" ”

Li Mingrui couldn't help but be overjoyed, the reason why he took the liberty of proposing to establish the imperial history of the left capital as soon as possible on such an informal occasion was to get an opportunity for His Majesty to recommend a candidate for the imperial history of the left capital, as long as there were no other cabinet ministers and ministers, the person he recommended had any hope of winning.

Of course, Li Mingrui also knows that most of the people who directly recommend his camp at this moment will make His Majesty disgusted with him, and it will be counterproductive, and even if he recommends officials in the capital and has nothing to do with him, it will make His Majesty wonder if he has anything to do with this official recommended by himself, and in the end, I am afraid that he will still not accept his recommended candidates.

Therefore, Li Mingrui decided to recommend a local official who has entered His Majesty's eyes but cannot have much contact with him:

"Back to Your Majesty, according to Weichen's view, Shang Zhouzuo, who is currently the governor of Liangguang, may be able to take on this important responsibility, this person was the right Yushi before leaving Beijing, and now he is still holding the title of the left deputy capital Yushi, and in the siege of Guangzhou, he also showed the calmness and calmness that a court minister should have and the perseverance to bend his waist without fear of strong strength, so Weichen recommended that this person be transferred to Beijing to serve as the post of the imperial history of the left capital, and take charge of the Imperial Procuratorate, and the situation in Liangguang is now stable and gradually changed from military to development and trading. An official of good civil service may be appointed to this position. ”

At this time, Qian Qianyi was already very surprised by this, he didn't expect that His Majesty would really get off the donkey and ask Li Mingrui's opinion today, instead of perfunctory himself like he had just proposed the establishment of the crown prince.

And Zhu Youxiao was indeed a little surprised by Li Mingrui's proposal, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable, and he was also a little surprised, whether this Li Mingrui was selfish or public, at least he was better than Qian Qianyi in playing politics.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao did not directly agree to Li Mingrui like this, although Li Mingrui is very good at seizing the opportunity and figuring out the holy will, Zhu Youxiao could not be so easily swayed by him, but nodded directly and said: "In this case, let Shang Zhouzuo go to Beijing to report on his work, and I will consider him again." ”

Li Mingrui naturally said yes, he knew that after His Majesty learned that Cao Sicheng, the former Imperial History of the Left Capital, was a person from his own camp, he must have some dissatisfaction with himself, so he dared to confirm that it was impossible for him to install his own people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate system, so he could only retreat to the second, as long as His Majesty did not use an official of the old school to serve as the Imperial History of the Left Capital, he would be considered a victory, and he would also recommend an official with unclear political tendencies to serve as the Imperial History of the Left Capital before Qian Qianyi, so that he might be able to leave a good relationship with the future Imperial History of the Left Capital.

Qian Qianyi is not stupid, after thinking about it carefully, he also realized Li Mingrui's wishful thinking, and suddenly couldn't help beating his hands, feeling sorry for himself Why didn't he think of this move, could it be because he forgot about it after seeing that he squeezed out a left-capital imperial history that was inclined to reform?

However, Qian Qianyi also remembered what he ate and did not remember, even if he could realize the opponent's motives afterwards, he could not deal with it well, just like he wanted to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the original history but unexpectedly surrendered.

There is always a kind of person in this world who thinks and acts inconsistently, Qian Qianyi is this kind of person, sometimes he can do jaw-dropping things such as cutting off his children and grandchildren, and sometimes he can also do stupid things that make people feel stupid, such as explaining his fear of death on the grounds that his scalp is very itchy.

However, now Qian Qianyi has done such a stupid thing again, he knows that His Majesty is tired of too fierce party disputes, but he deliberately instigated the officials of his camp to impeach Li Mingrui for accepting bribes from Shang Zhouzuo and causing millions of silver dollars of goods to fall into his hands.

But in fact, what he didn't know was that this contributed to His Majesty Zhu Youxiao's determination to let Shang Zhouzuo be the imperial history of the left capital, and his move undoubtedly helped Li Mingrui's side.

The officials who impeached Li Mingrui and Shang Zhouzuo at the instigation of Qian Qianyi were directly dismissed by Zhu Youxiao, and Shang Zhouzuo was directly transferred to Beijing to temporarily serve as the right deputy imperial historian and temporarily replaced the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Seeing that he was powerless to change the fact that Shang Zhouzuo had become the imperial history of the left capital, Qian Qianyi and other conservative factions had to temporarily stop fighting, and Qian Qianyi himself had to temporarily rein in his edge, and he didn't even mention the matter of establishing a prince, and still did his duty.

However, after a period of time, it was the day of tribute from foreign countries, and Qian Qianyi, as the head of the cabinet who also served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was naturally responsible for this matter, and this kind of matter involving etiquette was naturally Qian Qianyi's specialty, and he himself was also sociable, so Zhu Youxiao temporarily put aside his prejudices against him, and also summoned him a few times.

Qian Qianyi cherished this opportunity to brush up his position in His Majesty's heart, and desperately bragged about his Majesty's wisdom and greatness in front of the foreign envoys, but what people didn't expect was that just when Qian Qianyi hoped to increase his favorability in front of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao by receiving foreign fans, an unexpected thing suddenly happened.

That is, the young master of the country of Java accidentally killed a peddler.

What Qian Qianyi is not good at is this kind of response to emergencies, not to mention that he is still a young master of the outside world, which makes him even more tricky, he didn't even dare to inform Zhu Youxiao of the matter in time, and even asked Shuntianfu and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division not to report for the time being.

But he didn't know that this created his later tragedy.
