As soon as the two of them agreed on the matter, Wang Yue hurried over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zheng De looked at his somewhat unsightly face, and suddenly had a bad premonition, could it be that something bad had happened?

Quickly asked, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Wang Yue greeted him, bowed down, and said, "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the right capital Yu Shi Lin is sick and died." ”

Hearing the news, Zheng De was silent instantly, put down the tea cup in his hand, but couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Although I don't have much contact with this right capital imperial history, I can't even remember my appearance now. And because of the affairs of Xuanfu, I don't have a good impression of him. But when a fresh life passes away in front of him, there is always some unspeakable discomfort.

"Ziheng, tomorrow you will go to Shi Lin's mansion on my behalf to mourn, and by the way, I will comfort his relatives and relatives." Zheng De sighed lightly, raised his head and commanded Wang Tingxiang.

Wang Tingxiang was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect the emperor to let him mourn on his behalf. After all, for the emperor, except for the ministers who enjoy special favors, maybe the emperor will do this, it is impossible and unworthy for other ministers to put on such a posture by the emperor, especially a minister like Shi Lin who is disliked by the emperor.

However, since getting along with the emperor these days, he has long been accustomed to the different behaviors of this great tomorrow and ordinary people. So although I am a little curious about this, I am not surprised.

"Obey." He got up and said yes.

After Zheng De beckoned him to sit down, he turned around and saw Wang Yue looking like he wanted to speak and stopped. His heart sank, was there anything bad that he hadn't said?

The bad feeling in his heart grew stronger.

"Say, if there is anything bad about it, let's say it together."

Only then did Wang Yue cautiously say another piece of news.

"You said that Zuodu Yu Shi Dai Shan also fell ill, and Shangshu asked to return to his hometown?" Zheng De was so surprised to hear the news.

Quite worried, he asked, "How is the situation now, is it serious?" ”

Wang Yue shook his head, "The slave doesn't know, I only know that after Lord Dai returned home last night, he suddenly vomited blood, and he has been bedridden until now." ”

So serious!

Zheng De was taken aback when he heard this, and he also felt a little incredible. Yesterday, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, Shi Lin, just passed away, and today the left capital Yu Shi Dai Shan fell ill again, what is going on?

Could it be that he, the envoy of the right capital, feels too lonely and lonely underground, and wants to take his former colleagues to Huangquan together?

But this is really too!

Or is the Metropolitan Procuratorate cursed? Otherwise, why did these two people fall ill one after the other?

Zheng De felt a little headache, the two people in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were sick, so what should I do about the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

Although he always felt that the Metropolitan Procuratorate didn't seem to be of much use except for raising a group of idlers who played tricks. But even so, this is also a yamen of the same grade as the six ministries, and it cannot be left without a position. Otherwise, what if the team of idlers is tossing around, and something really happens?

beckoned to Wang Yue, "You go to the Tai Hospital to find a few Tai Doctors and go to Dai Shan for diagnosis and treatment." See what the condition really is. Tell me as soon as you get back, go ahead. ”

The latter answered, and hurried away.

Looking at the back of Wang Yue leaving, Zheng De sighed lightly and looked back at Wang Tingxiang, "What do you say is the matter, my left and right imperial histories have fallen ill one after another." One had just passed away, the other had just fallen ill, and I really was ......"

Zheng De almost burst into a foul mouth, but in the end he held back.

Wang Tingxiang was silent when he heard this, and there was nothing to say about this. Although he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he can only sigh secretly, and the time is also fate!

"Do you think I should agree to Dai Shan's resignation?" Zheng De was a little hesitant at the moment.

It stands to reason that people are already so sick that it is normal to want to return to their hometown. And he does have the idea of retiring this nearly seventy-year-old Zuo Du Yushi, and if he agrees, it will be the best of both worlds. But at this sick juncture, how do you think about it, how do you feel a bit of a danger.

If he didn't agree, but he felt a little unkind, so he really didn't know what to do for a while.

Wang Tingxiang didn't understand why the emperor hesitated, was it because he didn't want Dai Shan to resign, but he was afraid that the courtiers would criticize him for being unkind, so it was difficult to choose?

Don't want Dai Shan to resign? If Zheng De knew, he would definitely feel crying and laughing.

He does not deny that Dai Shan, the imperial history of Zuodu, is indeed a capable person, but no matter how capable a person is, it is time to retire when he is almost seventy years old, and it is time to give way to a young man.

Not to mention Zheng De, Wang Tingxiang really doesn't want this Zuodu Yushi to resign. After all, this person has been in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for so many years, and he has been conscientious and conscientious, and it would be a pity if such a good official retired!

"Your Majesty, it's better to wait for the imperial doctor's diagnosis before making a decision." He then said, "If Lord Dai is really critically ill, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to agree at that time!" ”

Zheng De nodded, and decided whether to go or stay after the diagnosis came out. He didn't do anything else but ask for peace of mind.

"Now the right capital is vacant, the left capital is sick in bed, and the dragons in the capital are leaderless!" Zheng De sighed and looked at Wang Tingxiang, "What do you think of the candidate for the imperial history of the right capital?" ”

Wang Tingxiang showed a hint of helplessness when he heard this, and asked the emperor for his opinion on everything. This is really a good thing that is difficult to envy in the eyes of others, but it is a happy trouble for him.

It's not a good thing to annoy the emperor if you don't answer well.

"The ministers are not very familiar with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there are really no good candidates, Your Majesty can make a decision."

"Is there really no good candidate, or do you dare not mention it because you have scruples?" Zheng De looked at him and suddenly said this.

Wang Tingxiang was stunned when he heard this, and met the emperor's inquiring gaze. reacted immediately, chuckled and said directly, "The minister is really afraid that he will annoy the emperor by not proposing a good candidate, and he will kick me out of the imperial study, which will outweigh the losses." ”

Unexpectedly, he admitted it directly, Zheng De was a little surprised, but more happy. After all, he is a cronie who has been promoted by himself, and if he is deceived even himself, he will really live up to his trust in him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, revealing a faint smile, "If you are so scruples and refuse to help me solve my problems, it will not be of much use to keep you in the imperial study, and it will be much easier to kick you out." ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Wang Tingxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The seemingly ordinary question just now implied a tentative meaning. If you don't answer well, I'm afraid you will be easily disgusted and disliked by the emperor.

Although he may not care about this, he also prefers to stay by the emperor's side and assist the king in achieving a prosperous cause.

These are the results of Confucian education.

"Sharing the emperor's worries is a matter of the ministers." Listening to the emperor's almost joking words, Wang Tingxiang also became much more relaxed, and said with a smile, "The official position of the imperial history of the right capital is important and important, and it is not important to say that it is not important. However, for His Majesty, the immediate is naturally important, and it is better to choose a reliable candidate for the position. ”

Wang Tingxiang said with deep meaning.

Zheng De was a little confused, and looked at him, "Ziheng, what do you mean?" ”

Naturally, the court minister would not sell anything in front of the emperor, and said directly, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervision, impeachment and recommendation, and His Majesty needs a person to speak to in the imperial court." At present, there is a vacancy in the right capital, and His Majesty naturally needs to choose a reassuring person. ”

Zheng De immediately understood what he meant when he heard this, the Metropolitan Procuratorate seemed to have raised a group of idlers who only knew how to play tricks, but they had mastered the public opinion guidance of the imperial court. If you can hold it in your hands, it will naturally be a good thing that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. And now that the right capital is vacant, it is indeed a good opportunity to promote cronies.

However, he had a bolder idea at the moment.

"I want to choose one person from the six Shangshu to be transferred to the right capital imperial history, so that the six Shangshu are vacant, isn't it better, what does Ziheng think?"

Wang Tingxiang showed a hint of shock when he heard this, but he didn't expect the emperor to fight this idea.

However, the six Shangshu and the left and right imperial histories are all second-grade official positions, but it seems that in the more than 100 years since the Ming Dynasty was established, there has been no precedent for the six Shangshu to be relocated to the left and right imperial histories.

Furthermore, this right capital imperial history is not as good as the left capital imperial history, although the grade is the same, it is not in Jiuqing. In this way, it is suspected of degrading officials. And the six scholars of the imperial court have excellent conduct and prestige in the court, and if the emperor does this, I am afraid that it will arouse the criticism of the government and the opposition.

Thinking of this, Wang Tingxiang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this right capital imperial history is not yet in Jiuqing." If the six Shangshu are moved to the right capital of the imperial history, it is suspected of degrading officials, and I am afraid that it will be dissatisfied with the courtiers, so please think twice. ”

"Dissatisfied? What do they have to complain about? Zheng De frowned when he heard this, and said very dissatisfied, "Criticism? Have I suffered less criticism? ”

"Is Jiuqing an official position? If not, it is also a second-grade official, why can't it be leveled? If you don't let me do this, I have to do it. ”

Hearing the emperor's almost angry words, Wang Tingxiang revealed a trace of helplessness when he heard this. With a wry smile, he just wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Zheng De.

I only heard him say a word, "If you were to choose, who of the six Shangshu do you think would be more suitable to move to the right capital imperial history?" ”
