As soon as he returned to the Maoqin Palace, Zheng De saw Wang Yue leading a person over, who was the Wang Tingxiang who had just met yesterday. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info was able to see that the latter came to him, obviously he had figured it out, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Ziheng, I really didn't misunderstand you." ”

When Wang Tingxiang heard this, he naturally understood what the emperor meant, his expression was embarrassed, and he bowed, "The minister failed the emperor's good intentions yesterday, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

"It's fine."

Zheng De waved his hand, naturally not caring about these details. Although Wang Tingxiang was not the first person he found with an S-level ability rating, he was the first person he came into contact with. And compared with the other two, this one is not only closer to him in thought, but also much younger and more malleable. greeted with concern, "Ziheng, have you had breakfast?" ”

"Your Majesty Xie cares, Weichen has already had breakfast." For such a warm greeting from the emperor, it was obvious that Wang Tingxiang still felt a little unbearable, "Please also ask Your Majesty to call Weichen by his name." ”

"It's okay, so that you and I can show the friendship between you and me, isn't it?" Zheng De laughed and looked quite complacent, after all, those lords in the Three Kingdoms recruited talents, didn't they all use table words to show that they valued closeness?

Wang Tingxiang showed a helpless wry smile when he heard this, although he has only stepped into the officialdom for three years, he is not a stunned young man who doesn't know anything, after all, he is already in his early thirties. As the saying goes, 'a companion is like a tiger', and who can have a true friendship with a king from ancient times to the present? It's a pity that he wouldn't have expected that in the following time, the two would get along for nearly forty years and have a different kind of friendship between kings and ministers.

"Let's go, let's go to the temple first." Zheng De dragged Wang Tingxiang into his imperial study, and the latter had no choice but to let the emperor pull him into the Maoqin Palace.

Zheng De glanced at Liu Jin, who was still focused on the bookcase next to his imperial case, stepped forward with a smile and patted the table, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law Liu, it's time to give way." ”

Liu Jin was startled when he heard this, looked up at the emperor and Wang Tingxiang next to him, and quickly stood up and retreated to the side. A little puzzled, "Long live the lord, the slave is stupid, I really don't understand what you mean." ”

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, and a hint of worry mixed with it. Although I didn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words, I suddenly had a bad premonition.

"You don't need to do anything about red approval in the future."

When Liu Jin heard this, he felt as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, and he was stunned by the news of this thunderbolt on a sunny day. However, he is also a clever person, and he reacted quickly, and immediately sobbed, "Long live Lord, are you going to abandon me?" ”

Abandon you? Seeing Liu Jin looking at him like a wronged little daughter-in-law, Zheng De suddenly felt a chill. couldn't help but kick him, and scolded with a smile, "Damn, get away, I don't know you." ”

was kicked once, but Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Although the emperor said to let him get away, he didn't get out obediently. After all, the emperor said it in a joking tone, and he didn't really want him to get out, otherwise it would be really stupid.

"Long live the lord because of the last Jiangnan earthquake, disgusted with the slave and maid, didn't do a good job?"

Zheng De shook his head, although the last Jiangnan earthquake made Zheng De very annoyed, but obviously Liu Jin did not do anything wrong, after all, he had already asked the local government to organize disaster relief according to the cabinet's vote.

The fault is only in the ********, and not enough attention is paid to natural disasters such as earthquakes. For people in this world, there is no clear image data and the like, and there is no understanding of the destructive power of earthquakes. Moreover, most of them have never experienced the tragic situation after the earthquake in their lives, and they cannot empathize with it, so they naturally do not pay enough attention to this kind of thing. In the final analysis, it is caused by too much information blockage.

"It's nothing, it's just that letting you criticize the red has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the courtiers. If this continues, I guess they all want to peel off my skin. Zheng De laughed and teased himself.

His Majesty laughed, even if they borrowed ten guts, they would not dare to do this. If they dare to do so, the slave and maid will be the first to go up and fight them. Liu Jin said with an indignant face. This is really not what he pretended, why was he removed directly by the emperor after only working for more than a month? It's not because of this that the ministers have gone up five times to talk about things! Cutting off people's futures is like killing their parents, and Liu Jin completely hates such a minister.

Looking at Liu Jin, whose eyes were slightly red, Zheng De looked at him with a look of surprise, and said secretly, "No, I'm just joking, how can this person seem to be bitter and hateful?" ”

If he had known the inside story, he would obviously not have been so surprised. But he didn't bother to pay attention to it, after all, no matter how much Liu Jin hated such ministers, it was impossible for him to really raise a knife to slaughter them.

"I am going to hand over this batch of red things to Wang Tingxiang to do, Liu Jin, you ......" Zheng De looked at Liu Jin, he really had a headache and didn't know how to arrange it. Although in history, this is a famous eunuch and traitor of the Ming Dynasty. However, in reality, in the more than a month I have been with him, I feel that the two have worked together quite happily. Maybe it's because this person hasn't risen yet, but it can't be because of this.

"I have decided to promote you to the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen." Zheng De hesitated for a long time before finally making such a decision and promoting Liu Jin to the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch. After all, as long as the current celebrant does not have the right to approve the red, it is like a tiger losing its fangs, and the actual power is not as big as imagined. And if even a eunuch can't be managed well, how can he manage the whole world?

Liu Jin didn't know whether to be happy or worried at this time, after all, he applied to go to the East Palace at the beginning, so that one day when the prince ascended the throne, he could also follow the chicken dog to heaven. It's a pity that now he has been promoted by the emperor to the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi, this official that countless people yearn for, has become one of the most powerful officials in the twenty-four offices of the inner court, but how can he always feel a little bit of a bright rise and a dark descent in it.

However, Liu Jin is Liu Jin, and he quickly adjusted his mentality, and bowed to the end with a smile, "Slave and maid, thank Lord Longen." ”

"You can hand over these things to Ziheng." Zheng De pointed to Wang Tingxiang, who was standing aside.

"Long live the slave, the slave knows." Liu Jin glanced at Wang Tingxiang when he heard this, and he naturally didn't have much affection for this person who robbed him of his job. However, with Zheng De's previous words as a foreshadowing, most of the hatred was naturally stopped by ministers like the DPRK and China. also knows that since this person can replace himself to approve the red, it is obvious that the emperor trusts him a lot, so it is naturally not easy to offend. However, he still said deliberately, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty trusts you so much. You don't want to live up to the emperor's trust in you, and embarrass the emperor like the ministers in the court. ”

Liu Jin's words obviously wanted the royal court to be on the side of the emperor or on the side of the ministers of the court.

Wang Tingxiang is also a smart man, and from the moment he accepted the responsibility of criticizing red, he understood that he was already on the same ship as the emperor. After all, he is not the big man in the court, just a small official from the seventh grade sesame, if he is left and right, I am afraid that both ends will not please him, it is better to stand firmly by the emperor's side from the beginning.

He smiled and arched his hand at Zheng De, "The minister is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, so he naturally listens to His Majesty." ”

Zheng De smiled with satisfaction, wanting to pat him on the shoulder and encourage him. But he found that he was probably too short because of his age, and he couldn't reach the latter's shoulders at all, so he had to withdraw his hand and said embarrassedly, "It's really good, as long as you follow me, you will be promoted and rich." ”

"How do you look like you're following a bandit leader?" Wang Tingxiang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, but he still bowed, "The minister must live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

It's not a big deal to say that it's a handover, it's just to explain the unapproved red, and some things that need to be paid attention to are completed in a while.

When Liu Jin left, there were only two people left in the entire Maoqin Palace, Wang Tingxiang and Zheng De, and after he told them, the two of them were busy with their own work.

Zheng De, who was reading a book, habitually raised his eyes to look at the bookcase on the side, but it was an unfamiliar figure. was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that Liu Jin was no longer here. Looking at Wang Tingxiang, who was sitting there to help him deal with the music, the feeling of no reason was much more pleasing to the eye.

Zheng De thought for a while, "Ziheng, help me sort out these recitals, if it is the performance of the official's advice, put it aside; If it's a matter of state affairs, put it on the other side, and hand it to me after approval. ”

After listening to the emperor's instructions, Wang Tingxiang was stunned and didn't understand why the emperor did this.

Perhaps seeing his doubts, Zheng De explained with a smile, "Those officials are idle all day long and have nothing to do, and they don't have anything to say, and they can't get anything but get angry, so I generally only focus on state affairs." As for the advice of those officials, I will leave it to you to deal with, and if you have any good advice, you can hand it to me, and leave the rest in the middle. ”

Wang Tingxiang finally understood why his sparseness sank into the sea, so it was.

Regarding the emperor's prejudice against the speaker, Wang Tingxiang did not dare to agree, after all, he was also born as a speaker. Although he only stayed in the Sixth Branch for one year, he felt that Yanguan was the most indispensable for the entire imperial court. After hesitating for a moment, he got up and arched his hand, "The minister thinks that His Majesty is prejudiced against the speech officials, and the speech officials are left and right, and they have the responsibility of admonishing the emperor, impeaching and picketing hundreds of divisions and officials, as well as inspecting and inspecting local officials. If the way of speech is blocked, Your Majesty will inevitably be deceived by villains, and then the traitors of the entire court will be in charge, and villains will run rampant, endangering the society of our Ming Dynasty. ”

"Is this that serious?"

Zheng De glanced at Wang Tingxiang, but he didn't expect that on the first day of work, he would dare to disagree with his boss, he was quite bold. This did not make him disgusted, but he became more and more interested in the latter. But this interest is not that interest, he doesn't have this hobby.

But if you think about it carefully, even Zheng De made a little move and was quickly known by the officials, and then the music of the rules flew like a snowflake on his imperial case, which was like a dog's nose. Not to mention the hundreds of civil and military officials, who were under the watchful eye of such officials all the time, they were cautious and did not dare to make a single transgression. If there is a small act of misconduct. It is estimated that it will not take the next day for the impeachment chapter to fly to the emperor's imperial case, and the ending after that can be imagined.

The smooth flow of speech caused the officials below to dare not make small moves at all, which undoubtedly strengthened the emperor's control over the civil and military officials, and was able to better control the entire imperial court. This may also be one of the reasons why the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were able to sit on the throne peacefully and securely without going to court for decades.

Despite this, Zheng De still felt that these officials were too annoying! Like a flock of crows, it is extremely noisy.

"Don't talk about that." Zheng De didn't want to argue with the royal court, and there was nothing to argue about, unless he really wanted to remove all the officials, at most he would just talk about it.

"You dare to go against me just after taking office, you are not small, aren't you afraid that I will drive you back to the sixth department again?"

When Wang Tingxiang heard this, he was neither humble nor arrogant and said, "If Your Majesty sincerely wants to use Weichen, he will naturally not drive the minister back to the Sixth Branch." ”

Zheng De's answer was a little unexpected, but it also made him more and more satisfied. How can a person who is not confident in himself achieve a great career?

"You're pretty confident in yourself!"

Zheng De chuckled and shook his head, and no longer tested him. He took out a stack of notes and was about to continue practicing calligraphy. When I turned around, I found that Wang Tingxiang was still standing, and said with a smile, "Don't be lazy for me, quickly approve the notes sent by the cabinet on my behalf, if you can't finish the approval, don't have lunch." ”

actually threatened himself by threatening children, Wang Tingxiang could only smile helplessly. Although he is the son of the Ming Supreme, he is still a child after all, isn't he?

Looking at Zheng De, who was already concentrating on practicing calligraphy on the side, Wang Tingxiang, who was about to sit back, seemed to have suddenly discovered something. His eyes were wide open as he looked at the imperial case, with an incredulous expression.

"Is this the emperor's handwriting? It's too much, not even a three-year-old child! ”。

As if sensing his gaze, Zheng De glanced up at him, looked back at the really ugly and unsightly words he had written, and said with a smile that he didn't care, "Do you think my handwriting is too ugly?" ”

Hearing what the emperor said, Wang Tingxiang really didn't know what to say. Do you really want to say, "Your Majesty, you are indeed not as good as a three-year-old child." Or it is even more impossible for him to say something against his will, and in the end he has to remain silent.

"I can't even shoot sycophants, my future is worrying!" Zheng De sighed lightly, shook his head, and looked like he hated iron but not steel, and then lowered his head and continued to practice calligraphy.

Wang Tingxiang, who saw this scene, was instantly speechless, "What kind of emperor did I have in the Ming Dynasty?" It's a bit ...... Somewhat...... Wonderful! ”
