Chapter 80: A Dialogue between Monarchs and Ministers

On the way back to King's Landing, Ji Qingchen naturally rode in the same car with Ye Qingzhi and Ye Qingchen!

However, the three of them didn't talk about anything in the carriage, Ye Qingchen just briefly introduced the situation of King's Landing City to Ye Qingzhi, like the power dumping of the major families in the court and the struggle between the princes, while Ye Qingzhi just listened quietly, and he didn't say anything after listening to Ye Qingchen's introduction.

Ye Qingzhi had just arrived in King's Landing City and had no place to live, so he could only live in Ye Qingchen's mansion, but he first went to meet Emperor Yan, and the carriage sent him to the Vermilion Bird Gate. It's just that when he was about to get out of the car, Ye Qingzhi said to Ji Qingchen, "These days, you can stay in the house well!" ”

Ji Qingchen, who was still thinking nonsense, was stunned, he didn't know what Ye Qingzhi meant by saying this to himself, and was about to ask, when he saw that Ye Qingzhi had already gotten out of the carriage, he could only move his puzzled gaze to Ye Qingchen.

"Don't you think you've been too showy all this time?" Ye Qingchen asked with a smile.

"Indeed!" Ji Qingchen replied.

Thinking about it carefully, he really felt that he was too flamboyant during this time, like Qionglin Yuan became famous and was named the king of Northern Liao, like he was awarded the deputy general of the Long Xiang Army after solving the princess kidnapping case, etc., all of which are eye-catching positions. So with Ye Qingchen's prompt, he thought about Ye Qingzhi's words again, and understood the meaning of Ye Qingzhi's words to him.

"Got it?" Ye Qingchen asked. To be honest, I am quite satisfied with Ji Qingchen's nephew, Ye Qingchen, as an uncle, regardless of knowledge, courage and insight, as well as courage.

"Uncle is right, it really needs to be dormant for a while!" Ji Qingchen sighed and said, "Otherwise, you may become the target of public criticism after a while!" ”

"This is secondary, the main thing is that you should calm down and think about your future path." Ye Qingchen said.

"A way out?" Ji Qingchen didn't understand the meaning of Ye Qingchen's words a little.

"Yes!" Ye Qingchen nodded, and continued to say slowly, "In the past, we didn't have anyone who could speak in King's Landing City, so you naturally have to stay in King's Landing City, to establish your prestige among the people and the court, and to let everyone remember you so that you will not be forgotten." But the current situation is different, first of all, with the current situation in King's Landing, the water here is too deep for your development. Secondly, my brother has returned to King's Landing, and as long as he is in King's Landing, you will have someone in the court to speak to you, so why should you stay in the quagmire of King's Landing? ”

Seeing that Ji Qingchen was silent, Ye Qingchen continued, "This is the result of my discussion with your uncle after this period of correspondence, but you should think about it yourself in the next few days!" ”

……

As soon as Ye Qingzhi arrived at the realm of King's Landing, Emperor Yan got the news, and when Ye Qingzhi entered King's Landing City, Emperor Yan put down the music in his hand and waited for him quietly in the imperial study. So when Ye Qingzhi came to the imperial study under the guidance of Wei Zhongxian, he found that Emperor Yan was waiting for him, so he immediately gave a salute. "See Your Majesty!"

"Mr. Aoeda doesn't need to be polite, please get up! Wei Zhongxian, give Mr. Qingzhi a seat! Emperor Yan said politely.

As Ye Qingzhi, one of the four great Confucian masters of Dayan, Emperor Yan of Wenzhi and martial arts has great respect for him!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Qingzhi was not pretentious, thanked Emperor Yan, and sat on a stool that Wei Zhongxian moved out.

"I made Mr. Aoeda suffer on the way this time!" Emperor Yan said with a smile, "It's just that this year's college exam is about to start, and the Guozi Supervisor Jiu Yu Qingze fell ill, and the Siye Xu Kexia is already seventy years old, and when he reaches the age of Zhishi, he has no ability to supervise the Guozi Eunuch anymore, and I can't help it!" Please forgive Mr. Aoeda! ”

"Thank you for your concern." Ye Qingzhi said, "The imperial examination is related to the future of hundreds of thousands of scholars, and the stability of the country's society in Dayan, which is related to the stability of the country, and His Majesty can value it so much, which really makes Qingzhi happy." ”

"Yes! Mr. Aoeda said that, and I was very happy! In this case, then Mr. succumbed to the state and supervised the business, how has it been? Emperor Yan said.

The grade of Guozijian's sacrificial wine is the same as that of the six Shangshu, and the grade of Guozijian's priest is only the third grade. The gap between the two is still huge.

However, although the priest is only a deputy position, there is no position to worship the wine, but this also has to be divided into circumstances.

Just like now Yu Qingze is ill at the sacrificial wine, and Xu Kexia, the secretary, is too old to handle affairs, in this case, as long as Ye Qingzhi joins the Guozijian and becomes the director of the Guozijian, it is equivalent to replacing the sacrificial wine Yu Qingze to exercise the power of sacrificial wine.

It's equivalent to the sacrificial wine of the country's eunuch!

A lot of power!

And although the Guozijian cannot be compared with the political hall and the Privy Council, the power of the Guozijian to sacrifice wine is also not comparable to that of the six scholars.

But the status of the eunuch in Dayan is very transcendent.

Because Dayan's imperial examination system stipulates that all scholars in various states must enter the Guozijian to study for one year after obtaining the qualification of the lifter, they must be qualified to participate in the imperial examination held by the Ministry of Rites, so the Dayan Guozijian sacrificial wine is the common teacher of all the scholars who participate in the imperial examination.

In addition, this time coincides with the college examination, as long as Ye Qingzhi can participate in presiding over the scientific examination and marking work, with his capacity as supervising the Guozijian, he will be the teacher of this imperial examination.

Therefore, although the official position given to him by Emperor Yan is only a three-grade business, the gift that Emperor Yan gave to Ye Qingzhi is not small!

This made Ye Qingzhi himself fall into thought.

Although he had guessed that Emperor Yan might let him go to the Guozijian to make sacrificial wine, and he had discussed the pros and cons with Ye Qingchen, it was only his original intention to go to the Guozijian to serve.

However, this original intention changed when he met his nephew Ye Qingchen.

Because although he didn't say a few words to his nephew Ye Qingchen, as a generation of masters, he has read countless people and is proficient in physiognomy and miscellaneous science. From the moment he saw his nephew Ji Qingchen, he was attracted by his nephew Ji Qingchen's calm bearing and looming kingly demeanor.

And through careful observation in the carriage, he was surprised to find that his nephew was already qualified to compete for the throne, at least in terms of heart and character, which made him have a new idea of his previous passive counterattack strategy.

He felt that he was going to serve as a sacrificial wine in the country's eunuch and slowly developed his strength, which was not of much help to his current nephew. If you go to the Sixth Ministry or the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be a court official, it will definitely be a big help to the current nephew Ji Qingchen.

However, there are pros and cons in this, to the long-term plan of the Guozijian, to the Sixth Ministry or the Metropolitan Procuratorate for the present.

This put Ye Qingzhi in a dilemma!

If Ji Qingchen didn't have the qualifications to compete for the reserve, and there were still many deficiencies, Ye Qingzhi would definitely go to Guozijian. But now that the nephew has the qualifications to compete for the crown, he is a bit reluctant to go to the country!

Emperor Yan also seemed to have guessed Ye Qingzhi's thoughts, and did not immediately force Ye Qingzhi to express his position, but just sat quietly in front of the jade case, waiting for Ye Qingzhi's reply.

However, Dayan's three-year imperial examination is about to begin, and Guozijian must preside over the academy examination in conjunction with the Ministry of Rites, and now there is no one in Guozijian to preside over affairs, so Emperor Yan also wants Ye Qingzhi to make a decision now, so as not to delay the scientific examination.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Qingzhi suddenly asked, "Your Majesty really wants Qingzhi to go to the Guozijian?" ”

Ye Qingzhi's question was very technical, and the meaning of his words was to ask Emperor Yan, are you really willing to let me go to the country to make sacrificial wine.

Emperor Yan naturally understood the meaning of Ye Qingzhi's words, so he said with a smile, "Mr. Qingzhi is a great Yan Confucian, and he is deeply respected and loved by the students of Shilin, how can I not be an adult?" ”

Ye Qingzhi didn't speak, but pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision in his heart, so he said to Emperor Yan, "Thank you for your trust!" ”

"Wei Zhongxian, pass on my will, seal Ye Qingzhi Wen Changbo, grant the position of Guozijian Siye, and replace Yu Qingze to supervise Guozijian from now on." Emperor Yan immediately ordered Wei Zhongxian.

As an emperor immediately, he is a resolute emperor, and here Ye Qingzhi has promised to join the national prison, so he made a holy decree.

"Minister! Thank you, Your Majesty! After being named an earl and conferring the post of supervisor of the Sanpin Kingdom, Ye Qingzhi became Emperor Yan's courtier, so he immediately got up and thanked Emperor Yan with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

"Mr. Aoeda, please get up!" Emperor Yan still treats Corporal Ye Qingzhi as a courtier, and does not treat Ye Qingzhi as his own courtier because he entered the court as an official, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary, Concubine Ye Qingtang is Ye Qingzhi's sister, and Ye Qingzhi is Emperor Yan's eldest brother, and it is for this reason that Emperor Yan will give Ye Qingzhi the title of earl, which is also an affirmation of Concubine De's position in the harem.

Ye Qingzhi, who was appointed as the head of the country's superintendent, quickly adapted to his role, and immediately began to discuss with Emperor Yan some problems and ways to improve in this imperial examination.

Emperor Yan was already very attached to the imperial examination, and when he heard Ye Qingzhi's suggestion, he began to ask for details, and Ye Qingzhi answered him one by one, and put forward a lot of his own ideas, which made Emperor Yan very interested.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was late evening, and the discussion between the two was over. unconsciously led the topic to private matters, and naturally talked about Concubine Ye Qingzhi.

Since the moment Concubine Ye Qingzhi stepped into King's Landing, Ye Qingzhi had never seen his sister again. This was deliberately done by Ye Qingzhi, because there was a big problem in it, involving the emotional problems between Emperor Yan and Concubine De.

And the reason why he is willing to join the company this time is mainly because of his nephew Ji Qingchen.

However, since they have entered the government and arrived in King's Landing, the brothers and sisters will inevitably meet, so they talked to Concubine De. And Emperor Yan saw the longing for his sister on Ye Qingzhi's face, and saw that it was late for dinner, so he left Ye Qingzhi to eat in Concubine De's Qianqiu Palace.

Ye Qingzhi didn't refuse Emperor Yan, so he immediately agreed to him!

The two of them immediately left the imperial study and headed towards Concubine De's Qianqiu Palace!
