Verse 302: "shrewd" promises

"Oh, this official didn't even see that Geng Shangshu actually had such a friendship with Chen Shilang!

Xu Yan thought that no one would respond to his words, but he didn't expect that at this time, Geng Zhi actually stood up and openly supported Chen Yun, and refuted his face!

"Xu Zaifu, Ben Shangshu, as his name suggests, has always been upright!

Geng Zhi slowly walked out of the queue, he moved, and walked to the front of the hall, and was facing the second prince immortal law!

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Your Majesty has already discussed this matter with my ministry!"

Geng Zhi bowed to the second prince, his face was respectful, and he said in a gentle tone! Completely ignoring the stunned gazes of the ministers! Even the servants of the Ministry were a little unclear at this time!

"They didn't expect that Geng Shangshu, who has always been honest and indisputable, would come out for Chen Yun at this time!"

The servants of the Ministry looked at each other at this time, completely unaware of why!

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, if Your Majesty only consults with the Ministry of Officials, consults the opinions of the Ministry of Officials, and ignores the other four departments, will it not be possible!"

Xu Yan's face was gloomy, his eyes were hideous, and this Geng Zhi came out now, which made him very displeased!

"Xu Zaifu said that the sealing of one Shangshu requires the consent of three of the remaining five Shangshu, that is, the Holy Lord must collegiate with the five Shangshu!"

"Then, this palace is here, to ask, about this matter, Your Majesty has discussed with all the Shangshu lords, and agreed that Chen Yun, Chen Shilang, will be crowned as the Shangshu of the Criminal Department!

The second prince was still calm and relaxed with one hand behind his back, holding the jade seal of Zhenguo high in one hand, and the clear and perceptible "coldness" between his words was like a knife cutting under the ears of each of them!

Xu Yan listened to the words of the second prince, and he did not show weakness, he couldn't let the second prince bluff those people so easily! The power network he had worked so hard to manage in the past few years could not be disturbed for him now because of these princes!

"Later, there is Zheng Xiaoyao, the king of Xiaoyao, who has the power of the army alone, and he is eyeing behind him! His Majesty has been wary of their Xu family! If at this time, there is another prince of the East Palace who is not under their control, then the great plan of his Xu family will inevitably not cause turmoil and turmoil!"

"What's more, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, because of his biological mother's affairs, has a suspicion against the Xu family, at this juncture, if the second prince gains power, then his Xu family's power above the court is very likely to "collapse for thousands of miles" and be out ......of control."

Xu Yan squinted his eyes, now that he had jumped out, it was no longer in his plan to recruit Chen Yun! Even so, he couldn't let Chen Yun be sealed so easily.

"If he does not have a Sacred Heart, if he has no foundation in the Six Divisions, then he will be struggling!"

As soon as Xu Yan pondered, he had a plan!

"The other four Shangshu, Your Majesty's new Criminal Department Shangshu matter, can be discussed with you! If so, please Shangshu-sama, personally stand in front of Ben Zaifu, and tell Ben Zaifu when and where His Majesty summoned him, so that Ben Zaifu can reflect on why His Majesty is willing to discuss with Shangshu-shang, but he is not even willing to inform him in advance!"

Xu Yan turned around suddenly, he looked like crazy, and roared sharply, these words were full of grievances, and there was a little "resentment"!

"King Xiaoyao, Chen Shilang has ever chatted with you privately about the matter of Chen Shilang's sealing of the Criminal Department's Shangshu?"

Xu Yan didn't have a lot of scruples at this time, since he had chosen this path, he had to go on, even if he didn't hesitate to give up everything! What's more, doing so would also tell the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in a grand way!

"He promises that he is not afraid of any prince! His Xu family is not afraid of imperial power! He, the zaifu, is also not muddy!"

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, looking at Xu Yan like this, they were all seeing each other for the first time. Usually, many of them have made friends with Xu Yan in private, and Xu Yan at that time was personable, and the corners of his mouth always had a "smug smile that can control everything"!

Hundreds of officials went to the court, just watching Xu Yan roar above this Jinluan Palace, they all watched quietly, and then remained silent!

Only when they saw the face of the second prince, they slowly lowered their heads, and still didn't say anything! Xu Yanzhi, now it can really be said that the "Manchu Dynasty" knows it!

Even the father-in-law guards who were standing on the side, they all turned their backs one after another!

"The royal family is heaven in their eyes! But Xu Yan's "obscenity" in the court over the years is also there! Xu Yan, they can't afford to offend, and some of them also understand, even if Xu Yan is a little excessive now, but he has the identity of Zaifu, the power of the Xu family, even if His Majesty comes here now, every time this matter is explained, it will really not end well!"

"Xu Yan, you are presumptuous!"

The second prince's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly! The heavy snort, every breath and every breath, all hammered into the hearts of all the ministers who had "had a secret personal relationship" with Xu Yan!

They looked at Xu Yan today, and they were suddenly a little scared! They looked at this second prince standing on top of Jin Luan and holding the jade seal of Zhenguo, they were really "extremely scared!"

How to describe their mood may be one word "panic!"

Now above the main hall, all the people whose calves tremble and whose foreheads sweat are all officials who have "intimate" ties with the Xu family. Looking at it now, there are not a few!

"Xu Zaifu, even if Your Majesty does not have a pro-dynasty! The three princes are also in place of Your Majesty's early dynasty! As courtiers, even if there is a difference in the king's order

, since you can go to the front of the palace to inquire, as you shouted loudly as before, what kind of system!"

"Lord Xu, do you treat this Jinluan Palace as a street street, or is it the backyard of your Xu Mansion!"

Doctor Yushitai, Lu Qing also showed their integrity as a royal historian at this time! Without any personal emotion, in the face of such Xu Yan, Xu Zaifu, he can still talk about things!

"For thousands of years, those who dare to face the imperial power like this and roar and question in court are not lacking in loyal ministers and good generals! Lu Qing's words now are very pertinent, and Xu Yan's current every move is in the system of the law, but his behavior is a little excessive!"

"However, I have to say that Xu Yan's excitement at this time has some just right effect!"

Now the remaining four Shangshu are all pretending to be deaf, not only can they not hear Xu Yan's roar, but they also can't hear the roar of the second prince! The other four Shangshu are all pretending to be nothing!

"Xu Zaifu, don't be so excited! Your Majesty is working day and night on state affairs, and he has every opportunity to do so. Now that the dragon is in good health, how can the criminal department be helpless! Your Majesty should have made a hasty decision at the moment, and it should be too late to inform Lord Zaifu!"

"After all, even if Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Holy One! Isn't this wind and cold just coming when it is said, and dyeing when it is said, who has it said hello to! For these things, Lord Zaifu still don't have to dwell on them! Everything is left to fate!"

Geng Zhiguan's official department is still in the same position as Xu Yan and Xu Zaifu, but it is still half a level lower than Xu Yan, and now he is saying this, it is indeed very appropriate!

And from Geng Zhi's words, you can also hear the shrewdness of Geng Zhi, especially the last sentence, "Let everything be left to fate!"

The "heaven" in this is the sacred, and the "life" is the holy decree! Obey the fate of the heavens, at this time, it is to persuade Xu Yan, or to recognize the will of the second prince from generation to generation, and let Chen Yun and Chen Shilang conform to the "will of heaven" to seal the book of the criminal department!

"Blindly catering, obeying orders. Then what's the use of Your Majesty appointing us? I promise to say that life and death are all too little, but since I am now the Minister of the Imperial Decree of His Majesty, then I cannot sit idly by and watch Your Majesty violate the ancestral system so much and not say anything!"

"If there are no rules and regulations, and no laws are written! What is the use of you and me being officials? Is it just to share a piece of the tax pie paid by the people of the world?"

Xu Yan said this sarcastically, he also grasped the reason, at this time, he was sure that no one would be able to do anything to him, and he used strong words to snatch the reason, and he snatched the reason, and he had support!

"Xu Zaifu, this is a good statement, it is worthy of my court! Lin admires!"

Lin Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly happened at this time, pacing out! Walking not fast, even very slowly, but in the seriousness of others, his steps, at this time, were infected with some strange magic, his every step, was hanging, the heartstrings of everyone present!

"No one knows what Lin Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is going to do now!"

"But no one knows that whatever he wants to do, what he has to do, and what he has to say next, will be shocking!"

"Among the six departments, the secretary of the criminal department is vacant, and the secretary of the ministry of Shangshu openly walked to the opposite side of Xu Yan, and when the two are facing each other, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry has spoken!

"What's more, the current Lin Jian, will he talk nonsense?"

So no matter what he says, there will inevitably be an uproar!"

Every step Lin Jian took stepped on the hearts of "all selfish and ambitious" people present! Their mood began to become apprehensive with every step of Lin Jian!

And Xu Yan is also staring at Lin Jian with unkind eyes now, he knows that "Lin Jian and Geng Zhi" have already discussed in private, the marriage between the two families, if he chooses to help Geng Zhi now, that is, standing with the second prince, and agreeing to Chen Yun's sealing of the sentence, then for him, the situation is very bad!

"Among the six departments, Shen Lishu, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, is considered to be the one who provokes Xu Yan, and Zhao Yu, the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is also very biased towards Xu Yan! Among the six departments, Xu Yan is very sure of these two parts, so at this time, he can't throw away the criminal department so easily!"

"The Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites are equivalent to Xu Yan's right-hand man above the court!"

"And, among the six departments, the military department is still Wu Buping, although it has long been attached to his Xu family, but now the actual military power has been firmly held by Zheng Xiaoyao! Wu Buping is now almost no different from an empty shelf!"

"The rest, there is only one household secretary Cao Wanjin, whose attitude is ambiguous with Zheng Xiaoyao, but he has never explicitly refused Xu Yan!"

Xu Yan was also frantically calculating this in his heart at this time, this time there was a mistake in the Ministry of Officials, and Lin Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works! He must control the situation as soon as possible, but he must not issue another Shangshu!

"Today, if there are three Shangshu, indicating that this matter has been discussed with several ministries, then he will definitely fall short today!"

"You know, if there are three Shangshu standing on the opposite side of Xu Yan, the remaining two Shangshu will instantly turn their faces and deny it. It is also a predestined rule for the minority to obey the majority! If there is no interest to maintain, there will be no stubbornness between them!

Xu Yan watched Lin Jian come step by step, his eyes turned a few times, he thought, except for this Lin Jian, no one should come out of the chaos!

"After all, Zheng Xiaoyao definitely doesn't want Chen Yun to be promoted to the secretary of the criminal department like this! You must know that he is now among the six departments, and he does not have the power of a single book! This is very unfavorable for him, and in the future, he will support his nephew, the third prince, to take the East Palace!"

"If you want to talk about now, you may end up

Zhou Shun of the Criminal Department was inserted by Zheng Xiaoyao, and in addition to Chen Yun, he was also a very powerful candidate for promotion to the secretary of the Criminal Department!"

Lin Jian looked at Xu Yan's appearance, he naturally knew that Xu Yan was trying his best to calculate at this time! In fact, Lin Jian was also gambling when he took these few steps! He was gambling, His Majesty would not make such a mistake, he was gambling, the second prince would not be unprepared, he was gambling, Li Chengjie would not be helpless!

He took advantage of the time just now, and he had already thought very clearly! This may be a game set up against Xu Yan! Although he can't be sure who the person who set up the game is now, but in the dark, he has this feeling! Xu Yan will lose this time!

Geng Zhi, Lin Jian knows this guy very well, he will never stand up and support Chen Yun at this time for no reason, because of his personal friendship!

"What's more, everything, leave it to fate!" This sentence, Lin Jian felt that Geng Zhi's words were not only pointing at Xu Yan, but also at the same time!

"Lin Shangshu, what did you mean by what you said just now?"

Xu Yan really didn't want Lin Jian to stand on the opposite side of him at this time, he said very tactfully, and frantically "squeezed his eyebrows" at Lin Jian, as if he was "prompting" but more like "bribing" to discuss!

"Haha!

Lin Jian looked at Xu Yan's slightly "flattering" expression, and he said with a smile!

"Ben Shangshu, I just think that Xu Zaifu's words are quite reasonable! It is thought-provoking, and it is Xu Zaifu's words that remind this official!"

Lin Jian's attitude was vague, and he said in a witty tone! All the officials could hear a little ridicule from Lin Jian's words!

"Oh?"

Xu Yan's tone rose a tone, and he said a questioning "oh"!

"Blindly catering, obeying orders. Then what's the use of Your Majesty appointing us? The country belongs to Your Majesty, but this world is indeed everyone's world!"

"If there are no rules and regulations, and there are no laws! What is the use of you and me being officials? Is it just to share a piece of the tax paid by the people of the world? Xu Zaifu, one word shocked the ups and downs of the Huan Hai!"

"Yes, the way to be an official is not to be an official, but to serve the people! Now that I think about it, this official is really ashamed of himself!"

Lin Jian said this, he beat his hands and feet, and let out a long sigh!

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces can't help but let out a laugh now! In fact, this Lin Jian was an "old and unserious" when he was next to him, and everyone looked at his movements and ridiculous tone, and they knew that this Lord Lin was going to "tell stories and tell stories!"

Xu Yan looked at Lin Jian's various behaviors, and he was also speechless! But now he can only listen!

"Hey, now I think of the days ago, when I went to report to His Majesty about the construction of Dali Temple by the Ministry of Engineering, His Majesty told me about some things in the Criminal Department! At that time, I was also ...... Hey!"

"At that time, I didn't dare to speak boldly, nor did I listen carefully to His Majesty's teachings! Now I think about it, most of the things that Your Majesty talked about with me that day in the Criminal Department were about Chen Yun and Chen Shilang's exploits in the Xingbu in the past! The saint also praised Chen Yun several times, Chen Yun is the pillar of the country!"

"I still remember, Your Majesty said happily, as if he was very happy, and I was so afraid that I only cared about laughing, but I completely forgot about the vacancy of the position of Shangshu of the Criminal Department!

"Really, I'm old! I didn't even hear this from His Majesty's words that day! Oh! I'm really old! I'm old!"

Lin Jian made up nonsense, sighed, and snickered! But even so, even if almost everyone present knew that Lin Jian's words were made up by himself, at this time, it was already obvious, that is, "Your Majesty, you have also discussed with him, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, that is, with the Ministry of Industry, the candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of Justice!"

"And in and out of the words, it is also said, Chen Yun, with this qualification, he will be the secretary of the Criminal Department!"

"Ahem, Lin Shangshu, what do you mean now?"

Xu Yan listened to Lin Jian's words, and his face gradually turned cold, and now his eyebrows were like frost, and his face was even more icy, and his tone was full of cold and asked!

"Xu Zaifu, isn't Ben Shangshu's words obvious?"

Lin Jian's face also turned extremely fast, he snorted coldly, and then whispered Xu Yan's words back!

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Lin Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, seconded the proposal, Your Majesty wants to promote Chen Yun, and Chen Shilang has been concluded as the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and the minister does not object!"

Lin Jianguan sleeved for a while, and made a gorgeous turn in front of Xu Yan very chicly, and then bowed down and walked to Geng Zhi's side, and respectfully stated to the second prince!

"Lin Shangshu, the Holy Lord still trusts you very much! If a book like you is like you, if you see the Holy Lord who is only promised, I am afraid that there will be a gaffe, then the other ministers will not dare to speak even more! But not everyone is as bold as Xu Zaifu! Lord Lin, you should pay more attention in the future!"

The second prince chuckled, although he said something to Lin Jian, but at this time, his eyes were looking at Xu Yan! He was now looking at Xu Yan's old horseman's face, he was smiling very happily!

Now the mountain of people is not nervous!

Li Chengjie looked at the various changes in the mountain of people on this golden luan, and he was also very pleased!

"Maybe this is subtle, teaching by word and deed!"

"Long Shenglong, he is a prince after all!"

Li Chengjie looked at the mountain of people at this time, the kind of "willing to admire" demeanor and temperament that was invisibly exuded, he was very happy!
