Chapter 142: The Man You Can't See
Some pinholes are very small, and when they are indoors, they can't be seen at all, and they are only presented in front of Chu Yu's eyes when they are illuminated by the sun.
And the pinholes are connected into one word.
Chu Yu's eyelids jumped for a moment, and she remembered Hua Cuo on the side, she hurriedly pretended to be casual, put the piece of paper into her sleeve, and returned to the carriage with Hua Cuo.
The original plan was to go to the palace after seeing Wang Yizhi, and Chu Yu didn't plan to make changes, and when she walked into the palace, she stood up again, took out the note, and confirmed it to the light again.
Chu Yu frowned for a long time before slowly folding the paper and putting it away with a little confusion.
What did Wang Yizhi want to say to her?
Why do you want to hide that word in such a hidden way?
Shaking his head, Chu Yu temporarily suppressed his doubts, first raised his spirit and went to see Liu Ziye, and after the two exchanged feelings between sister and brother, Liu Ziye mentioned that there was a shortage of manpower, and he planned to promote all officials to two levels to make up for the gap in the power structure caused by the killing of several auxiliary ministers.
Chu Yu didn't know much about the personnel changes of the regime, but after hearing Liu Ziye say that there was a shortage of manpower, he suddenly had a thought and said, "Your Majesty, how about I recommend someone to you?" ”
The person Chu Yu intends to recommend is naturally Huan Yuan, and now she has at least half of the children of the family in Jiankang City, and she has almost lost the only remaining confidence in Liu Ziye, but now recommending Huan Yuan is completely selfish: let Huan Yuan control some of the military power, and if something happens in the future, her safety will also be a little more.
Liu Ziye killed several ministers in a row. There are naturally a lot of vacant positions, and now I see that Chu Yu is actually interested. asked her to choose Chu Yu at will, compared the various positions, and then chose a "Danyang Yin" position for Huan Yuan.
To put it bluntly, this position is actually that the local governor of the capital is mainly in charge of military power, civil affairs, recommendation and appointment, and criminal and political proceedings, and participates in the government This official position may not be very high. But it is very important to be the official of the Son of Heaven.
Chu Yu took a fancy to the three words of the Son of Heaven and the point of mastering the monarchy of the capital.
Although because of a woman, Yu Zichu is now difficult to move an inch in the celebrity circle, Yu Ziyuan's literary talent is still famous far and near, plus Chu Yu has created momentum before. It makes sense to give him such an official position.
After discussing this matter with Liu Ziye, Chu Yu felt relaxed in his heart, and by the way, he mentioned the possibility of the imperial examination system to Liu Ziye, and at this time, the selection of officials was based on the system of recommendation, which was easy to tend to the vicious circle of cronyism, and the officials were roughly selected from the high-ranking elites in various places, and many people with low backgrounds could not enter the center of political power. This is the reason why Chu Yu had to be friendly with those people before.
But now if you look at it from a different angle. Even if you have bad relations with those powerful people, can't you get along?
Liu Ziye's rough and arrogant style made Chu Yu frightened. It's shocking. Chu Yu also saw the dawn of another angle, that is, to break the monopoly of the gate lord's regime - the imperial examination.
Maybe in the twenty-first century, more than a thousand years later. The imperial examination is a backward selection system, but it is only the centuries AD, in other words, the imperial examination system is actually very advanced at this time.
Chu Yu originally didn't think of this aspect, after all, she didn't have a very good sense of the imperial examination in her impression, but after thinking from a different angle, she realized how far she had gone: instead of currying favor with those scholars, it was better to directly help the emperor strengthen the centralization of power and take the power of talent selection into his own hands.
The more Chu Yu thought about it, the more her heartbeat increased, as long as she could restrain the little emperor's violent willfulness a little, this might be feasible, anyway, she had already thought of a way out, so she finally gave it a try.
Liu Ziye also felt very fresh after listening to Chu Yudi's description, this was fun for him, and it was really very much in line with his mind to be able to fight the gate valve aristocracy, the only thing that needed to be considered was that after the introduction of this system, the gate valve aristocracy's side might have a strong backlash.
After all, it will harm their interests.
Although Liu Ziye has a short temperament, he has grown a little these days, he can see the prospects and difficulties of this system, and he is not busy making plans in one day, and Chu Yu himself does not know much about the specific procedures of the imperial examination, and only roughly understands that it is through the examination to select scholars as officials in various places, but how to take the examination needs to be carefully considered.
When she walked out of the palace, Chu Yu felt very relaxed, because today she did not mention the matter of killing the three kings to Liu Ziye, and the stroke of Wang Yizhi's book made her see the narrowness and weakness in the past, she is not the kind of person who is ruthless and decisive, nor is she a wise man who is good at drilling camps and scheming, although she has a vision of more than a thousand years, she may not have the wisdom of more than a thousand years to force herself to do it, but it is easy to be self-defeating.
It's a good thing to see the shortcomings.
Don't do things that make yourself miserable and sad, she wants to live, she wants to live comfortably, comfortably, and steadily, if she wants to make her conscience bear the guilt that cannot be removed, then what is the taste of living in such pain?
Back to the princess's mansion to change into men's clothes, Chu Yu hesitated and let Hua Cuo stay in the mansion, but instead asked Ah Man and Yue Jiefei to accompany them, after a period of recuperation, Yue Jiefei's injuries were almost better, although it could not be said that he was completely healed, but at least it was okay to fight.
The carriage stopped in front of the Jianchu Temple, and Chu Yu took a deep breath to calm the uneasiness in his heart before continuing to get out of the carriage.
The pinholes in the paper left by Wang Yizhi for her were connected into one word: Yes.
What is it, Chu Yu thought of the silence that was good with Wang Yi, and came to this temple.
Why did Wang Yizhi use such a tortuous and covert method to pass the news to her? Who doesn't want him to see? Chu Yu couldn't be sure, but the people who were with her every day in those days were Hua Wrong, although Chu Yu didn't want to doubt Hua Wrong, but he still adhered to the idea of not being afraid of 10,000, just in case, and temporarily isolated Hua Cuo from himself.
Then come to Silence.
Maybe from Silent Ran's mouth, she could know what Wang Yizhi wanted to tell her.
However, as soon as Chu Yu got out of the car, he saw a group of people standing in front of the Jianchu Temple, pointing at the temple, as if they were talking about something.
Chu Yu had an ominous premonition in her heart, she hurriedly ran over and pulled one of them to inquire, but learned that an assassin had just come to Jianchu Temple and killed a few monks, and the assassin broke into the room of the lonely master who had never complained about people, and after a while, there was no one in the room, leaving only a pool of blood.
The Assassin was said to have a black cloth over his face and was dressed in black.
