"Long live my emperor, long live, long live"

The cultural relics above the Jinluan Hall bow and bow to each other.

"Everyone, please get up"

The emperor raised his hand and signaled.

"What do you Aiqing have to do?"

The emperor said after a week of inspection.

"Your Majesty, the former cabinet scholar Jin Bao was dismissed and investigated for corruption and bribery, such an important position cannot be vacant forever, and please make a decision as soon as possible to choose the right person."

The person who opened his mouth was an official who thought that he was from the third grade, and he was calm, and like Zheng Ku, he was a person who kept the results.

"I don't know if you have a suitable candidate"

The emperor pondered for a while, and then looked at everyone and said.

The so-called cabinet bachelors are a group of scholars who help the emperor deal with government affairs, although they have no actual power, but their status is much higher than that of ordinary officials.

There is no such thing, because all the pieces will be read by the cabinet scholars first, and then written on a small piece of paper to deal with the opinions, and then handed over to the emperor for final decision.

There are two kinds of people in the palace that cannot be messed with, one is the eunuchs around the emperor, they can blow the wind in their ears around the emperor; Another cabinet bachelor, who has all the news about a country, is the first to know.

As a result, the cabinet scholar has become a powerful object for the crown prince to woo the two kings, and similarly, this is also a high-risk position.

Hearing the emperor's words, the officials below bowed their heads and were silent, and not long ago, because of the struggle between the prince and the two kings, the officials were scolded severely.

As a result, during that time, the officials under the fourth rank of the national capital were like frightened birds, for fear that they would become the funeral objects of their failed struggle.

has been an official for more than ten years, and any of them has some unclean things in their hands, and they will recommend their protégés or good friends when they have free official positions.

That's why they're afraid, and if the person they recommend ends up sinning, and they're sitting, they won't be able to get it.

If it had been before, before the emperor had time to think, the crown prince and the two kings would have been blushing because of the quarrel for this position.

But now they have become low-key, even if their eyes are flashing, and their inner calculations are beating, they are honest on the surface, and they don't seem to have any thoughts about this position.

"Prime Minister Xie, do you have someone to recommend?"

Seeing that no one answered, the emperor looked at Prime Minister Xie.

"Back to Your Majesty, although the cabinet bachelor does not need to be an official in the court, his position is very important, and he needs a person who can stick to his heart and understand the affairs of the world, and there is no suitable candidate for the old minister for a while."

Prime Minister Xie did not say the right person, for him, no matter whether the person recommended is neutral or not, because of his relationship with the prince, others will attribute it to the prince's person.

If it had been before, he wouldn't have mattered, but since the struggle between the crown prince and the two kings has thrown the court into chaos.

He became cautious, for he smelled a hint of danger.

Perhaps the reason behind the prince's madness is because of the shadow of the family, and at this time, if the person he recommended was later investigated for some crimes, it would be a big stain on him.

The higher the status, the higher the status of the person, a small stain on others, for them, it is very likely to be a talisman.

The prime minister did not have a suitable person to recommend, and the emperor looked at the prince and said, "Prince, who are your candidates?"

Hearing this, the crown prince stood up and said: "Father, the emperor and the sons have no suitable candidates for the time being, but the imperial examination is coming, and the father can choose some talented people to join the cabinet at that time."

Imperial examination?

Hearing this, Yun Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, but he forgot about it.

Although the cabinet does not seem to have much power, it is the particularity of the position that determines the unique role, and the good power used is comparable to that of the prime minister.

Throughout the ages, there are two kinds of people that cannot be offended, one boss's driver and the other's boss's secretary.

And the cabinet bachelor is the equivalent of the boss's secretary.

"King of Jin"? "There is no suitable candidate for Erchen"

"What about the King of the South"?

"So are the sons"

Seeing that no one recommended the available person, the emperor's eyebrows rose, and then he looked at Yun Xuan, who was watching the play, and said, "Prince Yin has a suitable candidate."

After saying this, the emperor regretted it a little, who didn't know that Yun Xuan was a transparent person above the court and never expressed any opinions.

Every morning, I stopped here, and then I didn't know if I fell asleep with my head down, and finally patted my ass and left.

"Father, there is really someone to recommend"

Hearing Yun Xuan's words, everyone raised their eyebrows, a little surprised.

The emperor also came to be interested: "Who".

"Erchen thinks that Xie Jun, the son of Prime Minister Xie, can be in this position, in terms of character, family background and talent, it is all first-class, and more importantly, it is not easy to fall into it because of the temptation of the outside world and live up to the emperor's grace."

As early as before, Yun Xuan thought about pushing Xie Jun out to him, and he could generally guess that Prime Minister Xie didn't want him to be an official.

The reason why Prime Minister Xie sits in this position so securely, and the power tilt of the government and the opposition will not arouse the emperor's jealousy, is because he is the only official in the Xie family.

For the emperor, the two most threatening people are Prime Minister Xie and General Liu, but the reason why they live so freely is because they have no threat to the emperor and the royal family.

As long as they die, all the glory of their family will disappear with their departure, and they will gradually become an ordinary family.

Hearing Xie Jun, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, then glanced at Prime Minister Xie, and then fell into deep thought.

And at this time, Prime Minister Xie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the dog has been staying in the house, he is not deeply involved in the world, he has no fame, he has no experience, he has no will, and he suddenly takes on this responsibility, I am afraid that it will backfire and live up to the grace of God."

Hearing this, the prince's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

If Xie Jun really becomes a cabinet bachelor, then it will be good news for him.

"Prime Minister Xie, when the king was appointed as the inspector, the Manchu Dynasty didn't say that the king had no experience, but what was the result?

Under your Chunchun teaching, Ling Lang's ambition and talent are not to mention the best in the national capital, at least he can be regarded as a talented and handsome man, just a cabinet bachelor, and Ling Lang's strength is enough to take on this heavy responsibility."

The emperor asked Yun Xuan to marry the daughter of Yuanbo Hou in order to create a flaw for him and form a weakness.

Similarly, at this moment, he also has to create a weakness for Prime Minister Xie to make it easier to calculate and control.

No matter how strong a person is, once he has a weakness, he is no longer strong, but he becomes weak.

"Prince Yin is kind enough to receive it, but it's a pity that the dog is not as smart as the prince, and it is really embarrassing to be so empowered."

Prime Minister Xie also raised his eyebrows at this moment, and his eyes flashed with a trace of doubt and displeasure.

The reason why he didn't let Xie Jun become an official was because he didn't want him to become a flaw for himself, and he didn't want to be targeted by the emperor.

He is now the prime minister, the head of a hundred officials, and his power is monstrous, but because of this, he is afraid.

I'd rather let him stay in the house and be an idle person, than that he can't resist the temptation, step into the abyss, and finally affect the family.

"Xie Prime Minister said this difference, who is not an official is not the first time, is it possible that Prime Minister Xie was born to be the prime minister.

Besides, there are so many bachelors in the cabinet, even if it is a little difficult for Ling Lang to start, it can't get in the way. ”

Everyone saw that the two of them were coming and going, and when they saw the moves, their old faces were full of doubts.

If you want to say that Prime Minister Xie doesn't let Xie Jun become an official, they can still understand, after all, after so many years, they still have some news.

But Yun Xuan insisted on making him an official, which made them wonder why, did they want to please Prime Minister Xie.

For today's change of normality, Baiguan began to brainstorm, wanting to guess one, two, three.

"Only I know my own child that if he has this ability, how can I, as a father, stop him.

Your Majesty, the dog is inexperienced and unstable, and I am afraid that I will not meet your expectations."

Seeing that he shirked vigorously, Yun Xuan didn't say much, he could protect it for a while, but he couldn't protect it for a lifetime.

"The difference between the prime minister's words, although the army has no fame, but the tiger father has no dogs, and it is not far from the same."

After pondering for a while, the emperor said.

A cabinet bachelor is not an important position, and there is not only one cabinet bachelor.

"Your Majesty's holy grace, the old minister deserves it"

Prime Minister Xie continued to shirk.

"In that case, let's stop this matter and wait until after the imperial examination to discuss this matter"

Seeing that he repeatedly disagreed with this matter, the emperor couldn't continue to say anything, as if there was no one available in the world, and begged others to be officials.

"Thank you for your understanding"

Seeing that the emperor was relieved, the wrinkles on Prime Minister Xie's face disappeared, but there was a trace of waves in his eyes.

Today's abnormality of Yun Xuan made him have a bad premonition.

"If nothing happens, retreat."

………………

"Lord Wang, the old man asked himself if he didn't offend you, why did he want to attack the old man today?"

Outside the palace gate, Prime Minister Xie whispered, his eyes becoming cold.

"Prime Minister Xie is too worried, the last time this king saw Ling Lang, he was magnificent, and his head was grand, so he recommended him to become a cabinet bachelor, and he had no other ideas"

The pace slowed down, Yun Xuan explained.

For such nonsense, Prime Minister Xie didn't believe it at all, and said: "The old man thanks the prince for his love for the dog, I just hope that this matter will end here."

He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Yunxuan gourd, but it was certain that it was not a good medicine.

"This king knows, please rest assured Prime Minister Xie"

Yun Xuan whispered, his eyes showing a look of teasing, and then he got into the carriage and headed towards the city defense camp.

Although the recommendation to dismiss the army failed this time, it reminded him of a very important thing, that is, the imperial examination.

Although he is not very optimistic about the literati of this era, for this era, they are the best of the generation.

And the reason why he wants to recommend Xie Jun is that on the one hand, he hopes that he also has a weakness, and on the other hand, he hopes to install his own people in the cabinet.

With the advent of the imperial examination, there will be a large number of literati who want to take this opportunity to change their lives against the sky and rise to the top.

In Yunqing Bookstore, there are some literati who are about to participate in the imperial examination, and all he has to do is invest.

Investing in those powerful literati, even if they can't be used for themselves, at least they can owe themselves a favor.

Just when Yun Xuan was staying in the city defense camp to plan this matter, hundreds of miles away, within the jurisdiction of the Hundred Saints Sect, a hidden place.

On the stone bed, there was a person sitting, sitting cross-legged and breathing, and a light dress perfectly set off her figure, which was seductive.

With a flick of his fingers, a figure walked in, his eyes looking like a volcano was rolling, and it was breathtaking.

When he saw the beautiful woman in front of him, a greedy smile appeared on his face, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

When she saw someone come in, the woman's eyes suddenly opened, and her eyes flashed violently, full of fear and fear, and then there was no wave, and her face became gray.

Like a walking corpse.

The corners of the man's mouth were hooked, and then he took out a green flute from his waist and put it in his mouth, and then a pleasant voice sounded.

"Ah...... Ahh

"Don't blow it...... No...... I beg you."

"Kill me...... Kill me."

When the flute sounded, the woman's face suddenly turned pale, her body trembled involuntarily and curled up, her limbs spasmed, and her mouth couldn't help but let out a moan of pain.

The heart-rending pain permeated her whole body, piercing her soul, making her barely breathable, and her dark eyes lit with uncontrollable fear.
