Chapter 88: The Way of the Monarch and the Minister

Exposing the darkness of Jinling officialdom in front of people is tantamount to letting the entire iceberg emerge from the dark deep sea little by little.

Even when the icebergs are exposed to sunlight, the snow water formed by their melting is still cold and biting. Every inch carries the power of heart-eroding tarsus.

"If they come, they will be at ease, and they will not be able to do anything with this king. Since my father needs a sharp blade that can clean the six parts for him, I am willing to use the blade in his hand. Ye Linchen's eyes swept with a hint of determination.

"Your Highness said this as if he were going to die generously." Xie Yao glared at him with a graceful look and a smile with low eyebrows, "I, as a strategist, can't push you into the fire pit, right?"

"I just want to do what I have to do."

Looking at the eaves bell hanging from the corner of the eaves outside the window, Xie Yaoguang's tone was pleasant, "You can rest assured." With me, no one wants to protect anyone, whether it is Bai or Fu, they are in a catastrophe. ”

"Miss Xie is thoughtful, and I am naturally relieved. It's just that I'm worried that King Shou won't give up the ministry so easily, even if what you said is true. Ye Linchen looked at her undeniably, and said in a low voice: "I'm just afraid that King Shou will make a desperate bet for this Bai Caishu and desperately protect him." ”

After all, Bai Caishu's officials are a piece of fat, and everyone is greedy.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about that. King Shou is not stupid enough to go against His Majesty. This matter was discovered by you, but it was His Majesty who wanted to try it, and it was His Majesty who wanted to be clear about the government. Therefore, if King Shou does not know whether he is alive or dead, he wants to rob people with the emperor, but he has fallen for the prince's plan. Raising his eyebrows, Xie Yaoguang cast a sporadic smile in his eyes.

"It's better to do it so that you don't waste all your effort."

"After that is done, will Your Highness take credit for me?" deliberately elongated the tail, and there was an inexplicable smile on his lips.

Hearing this, Ye Linchen raised his lips and smiled, "Naturally." ”

"How is your Highness interacting with the officials I have recommended with you? But there is a special satisfaction, this time there will be vacancies in the Ministry of Officials, and there will be examinations according to the usual practice. I hope that His Highness can take control of the Ministry of Officials, and it can be regarded as paving the way for the future. Xie Yaoguang pursed his lips lightly and smiled, "If His Royal Highness thinks those people are not suitable, I still have this." ”

"I think Yan Shuyu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, is a good one, although he is a little upright, but he is dedicated to the people. Staying in Hanlin Academy is really burying talents. After considering it, Ye Linchen took over the conversation.

Fingers hooked the tassel on the skirt, Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and said softly. "If His Royal Highness chooses him to go to Jinling, it is indeed for the well-being of the people, if it is a ministry, he may not be suitable, his temperament is not suitable for being an official in Beijing, and it is too rigid and easy to break. Keeping him in the capital is tantamount to making the sword dusty. ”

"Then who should I nominate according to your opinion, Miss Xie?"

"Your Highness, just remember that you are recommending talents for Your Majesty, not cultivating your own forces. So these people don't necessarily help you much. Xie Yaoguang knotted the tassels on the forbidden step and then said, "But they will definitely become your greatest help in the future, the most unexpected power." ”

The six parts that the emperor wants are a clean six, not controlled by any party.

The king is the mountain, the minister is the river, and the river flows from the mountain to the way of the minister. If the river does not cross the mountain, it is a flood and a great disloyalty! The ancient emperors were the most taboo about this.

Although those people recommended to Ye Linchen may not be from high families, some may just be some low-end small families, but these people are often very loyal and have always paid attention to the grace of knowledge.

It is difficult for them to get important on the side of King Shou and the crown prince, but as long as they are placed in an important position, they can play their due role.

Just be honest with them.

"I understand" Ye Linchen looked up at Xie Yaoguang's face and said in a slur voice: "You have taken great pains in these places, and sometimes I don't know how to thank you." Why don't you leave it to me?"

"It's a good thing that Your Highness can know how to make good use of people. It's just that if it's left to your Highness, you will do it. Am I going to be on the lookout all the time?" Xie Yaoguang let go of the forbidden step in his hand with heavy eyes, and gently tilted his lips to tease the other party.

Listening to Xie Yaoguang's slightly playful tone, Ye Linchen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You deliberately raised the price of the Moon and Star Tower." Deliberately drew my attention to Natsusuke. Because of this, Xia Fu has a bad impression of you. ”

Knowing what he meant, Xie Yaoguang pretended to look at him with a confused expression. Holding the tea in one hand and the tea lid in the other, he slowly crossed the rim of the cup, and his eyes were full of teasing.

"You know that as soon as he takes office, he will inevitably go to investigate the bad debts of the household department, and he also wants to create some political achievements for him. So just be bold and reckless, let people deliberately do something in the account books, Xia Fu noticed that the price of Lanxing Building had changed, and he would inevitably want to know how things turned out. Ye Linchen seemed to think of something, and chuckled, "Where do others go to a restaurant like him to eat like this, he has to ask in such detail, it's hard not to attract attention." That day, in Jinling, he told me that you look at him as a calculating person, and he doesn't want to be a person who would make such a mistake. ”

Xie Yaoguang was not annoyed by being exposed and planned in his heart, but raised his sleeves and covered his lips and chuckled, "I am a businessman and an official, so it is not surprising that I have this impression." It's just that no matter how calculating I am, I'm not a god, isn't it normal to make a mistake? ”

"I've always admired your ingenuity and amazing talent."

Clever calculation? Amazing? Xie Yaoguang sighed secretly. If it weren't for the trumped-up crime, if it wasn't for the unwillingness to see the deceased go to bed with grievances. How she doesn't want to be like an ordinary boudoir woman, admiring flowers and fish, stroking the piano and embroidering. Instead of playing with intrigues like now, sinking into the darkness forever and not being able to escape.

"Your Highness is saying this, as if you are comparing me to a fortune teller on the street, who can pinch and calculate." Xie Yaoguang raised her eyes to look at him, and a smile appeared on her face, "I don't have the ability to calculate so much, it's just that everything is just right." ”

Just right? And is it just right? It's just that those people are consciously doing it seamlessly, thinking that they can hide from the world. As everyone knows, the court can't punish him, and the emperor can't punish him, but the heavens are watching! All sins are not to be washed away.

Listening to Xie Yaoguang's words, Ye Linchen was slightly stunned. He originally thought that Xie Yaoguang was just a person who played with power and would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.

Now I heard such words in her mouth. thought that since Xie Yaoguang entered Beijing, the balance in Beijing and Central China has gradually been broken, and the turmoil has been treacherous.

Ye Linchen couldn't help but sigh. It's just such a talented and skillful person. actually chose himself, a powerless and unfavored prince, is it really just for him to be ranked in the Taimiao Temple one day?

"Your Highness, will you go to the summer hunt in half a month?" Xie Yaoguang played with the tea cup in his hand and asked.

"Well, Miss Xie will go too?"
