"What is the first empress of the ages, it is the first female thief of the ages."

"Exactly, the poor four princes, who are living in seclusion in the palace, hate to be in the sky, what is the face of my generation of scholars to worship the Holy Ancestor."

"Alas, the female thief is in charge, and the holy way is disgraced, this official, it is not appropriate!"

A group of Jinke Jinshi shouted loudly in the drunken incense building, perhaps drunk, without scruples.

The people who went up and down the stairs heard it, but they didn't hear it, and both sides couldn't afford to offend.

The person at the head is called Zhou Xian, who is the champion of today's department, and he was originally proud, but when the prince ascends the throne, he will be able to show his ambitions and ascend to the sky in one step.

It's a pity that the crown prince failed, and people like him, who were attached to the prince, were sent out by the empress to make county orders, and it is unknown when he will be able to enter the central government.

These days are the day of departure, and several people are not happy, so they drink to kill their sorrows.

When he was drunk, one of them whispered, "Do you think the prince is willing, don't be discouraged, the matter is not over yet." ”

The eyes of the others lit up, and Zhou Xian asked: "The prince has a new plan, is it ......?"

"Shhhh

"There are only a few of us in this room, who can know, right, Brother Liu."

Liu Zuihua smiled and nodded, he didn't drink much, his mind was clear, and he took advantage of the situation to ask, "What do we need to do?" ”

"Tomorrow morning, Li Langzhong will hand over the excerpt of resignation, heh, the champion of this department, Tanhua, Bangyan, and the top ten jinshi will resign together, which will inevitably cause a major sensation. After that, the prince will have another arrangement. ”

"It's so good, it's disgusting to let me wait to be an official in the court of female thieves. Please tell the prince that the students will be smeared with liver and brains and do their best to restore orthodoxy. ”

"Okay, come, everyone, drink this cup together."

Once again, the room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

When Ling Husu checked the official files, he remembered the situation of the Jiaoxian county order, and immediately ordered Xiuyun to send someone to investigate carefully, and if this person had any violations, he would immediately investigate and deal with it according to the law.

Ling Husu had no right to punish the officials and ignored him, but now it is different, such moths are too eyesore.

After a while, Xiu Yun said that there was a Jinke Jinshi who asked to see the saint.

Ling Husu was very curious and let people enter the Qianyuan Palace.

The man was average-looking, tall, and bowed and greeted him without humility or arrogance after entering the hall.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"The minister's surname is Liu, and his name is Zuihua. He was given the post of county magistrate of Qi County, and he will take up his post the day after tomorrow. Today, I drank and chatted with my friends in the Zuixiang Building, and I heard that they were going to plot against His Majesty. ”

Ling Husu threw down the book in his hand, quite surprised, he didn't ask what the conspiracy was, but asked: "Since you are friends, why do you betray them?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is not a ruthless and unrighteous person. However, the minister knows that the righteousness of the country is greater than everything else, and the so-called friendship is not worth mentioning. Therefore, the minister thought that this was not a betrayal, but a great righteousness. ”

"That's a good point, tell me, what kind of conspiracy it is."

Liu Zuihua raised his head and glanced at Ling Husu cautiously, and sure enough, he was beautiful, and he was overwhelmed, and he couldn't help but feel like bowing down.

Linghu Su only wears a dragon robe when he is in the upper court, and he wears civilian clothes in the lower court, and he will wear men's clothes at the beginning, and he will directly change back to women's clothes in the back. Why hide it, the world knows that she is a woman, but she still deceives herself all the time, isn't it a big joke in the world.

After Liu Zuihua was confused, he said: "The champion of this department, Tanhua, Bangyan, and other seven or eight top ten jinshi have taken refuge in the prince. ”

"I knew about this earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have let them go to a remote place to be a county magistrate."

"Your Majesty is insightful and admired. This group of people still has conspiracies and tricks, and they want to submit their resignation to Li Shilang collectively tomorrow. If His Majesty does not agree, the previous appointment must be removed and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. If His Majesty agrees, they will spread the matter all over the world and discredit His Majesty. ”

Ling Husu got up, paced a few steps, and laughed at himself: "Does my reputation still need to be bad?" ”

Then he turned around and asked Liu Zuihua: "Since you are here, there must be a way to deal with it." ”

"Yes, the minister has recorded an account in private, and it is the money that the prince's palace and other kings have given to us jinshi, and most of them are more than one thousand taels. Nowadays, we are all officials, and a bribe of more than 1,000 taels is considered a felony. ”

After speaking, Liu Zuihua took out the account book from his sleeve, and Xiuyun went down to pick it up and handed it to Ling Husu.

Linghu Su opened it, and the first name was him Liu Zuihua, who received five hundred taels from the Prince's Mansion, three hundred taels from the Han Wang's Mansion, and three hundred taels from the Anwang Mansion.

"It's funny, why write down your name and remember it in the first place."

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister didn't want to accept it, but in order to gain trust, he could only go along with it, and it was written in the first place, so that His Majesty could deal with the crime of corruption as soon as possible."

Ling Hu Su didn't speak, and continued to look, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, among them, the champion Zhou Xian received the most, more than five thousand taels, and the others had more than three or four thousand, and the few hundred. Its number accounts for more than half of today's scholars.

Ling Husu threw the ledger on the table and said, "This ledger can't explain the problem, and it can't prove whether you wrote it nonsense." ”

Liu Zuihua was not in a hurry, and said: "The person who sent the money from the Prince's Mansion is called Zhao Er, the person from the Han Palace's Mansion is called Li You, and the one in the Wangfu of An is He Zhong. ”

Linghu Su nodded and said, "Xiuyun, go and do it!" ”

Xiuyun is also a person who guards secretly, and it is at the level of the earth character.

"The slave understands." Xiuyun left.

"Liu Zuihua, you can step back first!"

He did not leave, but continued: "Your Majesty, please say the last two words. ”

"Okay, you say."

Liu Zuihua brewed emotions and said: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty is not only the first empress of the ages, but also the first emperor of the ages. Throughout the past and present, only His Majesty has great eloquence and wisdom, and his policies are all about the security of the country and the people, and the prospects are far-reaching. The minister boldly predicted that my Chen country would unify the world and become a great country for all generations, and it would be peaceful forever. ”

The corners of Hu Su's mouth smiled, although Liu Zuihua's words were suspicious of sycophancy, but they were really nice to say, which made people feel happy.

At the beginning, the old emperor taught that as an emperor, there must be all kinds of courtiers, loyal ministers, ministers, ministers, and relatives. Linghu Su now has ministers, virtuous ministers, capable ministers, and ministers, but lacks loyal ministers, pro-ministers, ministers, and favored ministers.

Liu Zuihua seems to have the momentum of developing into a close minister. It's not that this kind of courtier lacks ability, but that he won't trouble the emperor everywhere, but will help the emperor solve various problems. Otherwise, the whole dynasty is full of desperate admonitions from the ministers, who can stand it.

"Okay, Liu Zuihua, tomorrow's morning, you will also come, one is to help testify, and the other is to resign together, and then, I have another official position for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu was overjoyed, and then retreated respectfully.

Ling Husu then asked the eunuch to find out all the test papers of Jinke, read them one by one, and sure enough, Liu Zuihua's article was the most novel. Maybe it was too much novelty that made him get the bottom ranking.

As for Zhou Xian and the like, the full article is also a headache for Hu Su, there is nothing substantial, if you want to say beautiful, Ling Hu Su doesn't feel so beautiful.

Then, Ling Husu looked at other articles, whether they were off the list or on the list, they were eclectic. If there is another novel article, he will pick it out, and when he finds time to call all these people, he may be able to find a talent like Liu Zuihua.
