Chapter 235: Assassination
(Coming to the new year, I wish you all a happy New Year's Day, I wish you all happiness and happiness, smile often, thank you for your support, thank you from the bottom of my heart!)
Emperor Xuan stroked his short beard, looked down with a torch and said: "Yi Aiqing, who is both civil and military, has been ordered by me to quell the Ethereal Mountain incident, and has made a meritorious service, and now he has made another meritorious contribution to quelling the refugee incident, Prime Minister Xue, then you should see what official position should be sealed?"
Prime Minister Xue looked at Yi Shaotian up and down, but he didn't expect to give him an official position.
At this time, Fu Guogong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a word." ”
Emperor Xuan said happily: "Hurry up!"
"Your Majesty, now the thieves of the Northern Yan are constantly attacking my southern Xuanjiang Mountain. The Huaihe River broke in many places, causing the city of Shizhou to be flooded and the local losses were heavy. The minister advised to cancel this year's imperial examination. ”
"Cancel the Great Dynasty Examination?" Yi Shaotian was taken aback, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, wouldn't he be the champion of the imperial examination about to be in the soup, and how could he marry Rong'er and Yingying as his wives in a straightforward manner?
"Chen Ken asked the emperor to cancel this year's imperial examination. Suddenly, all the old ministers knelt down and spoke.
"You ...... The purpose of the imperial examination is to attract talented people, and what does this have to do with the invasion of Beiyan and the flood of the Huaihe River?"
Fu Guogong continued: "Emperor Yu, the Great Imperial Examination is just for ranking, the actual examination has already been completed, and the last six departments have been busy, so Emperor Wangdi canceled the Imperial Examination, focused on flood control, and allocated grain and grass to fight floods and disaster relief. ”
An old minister with steady footsteps stepped forward and said: "Emperor, by all means, Weichen has just received the news, and now the border war is urgent, and he urgently needs food, and he also asked the emperor to send enough soldiers and food to support." "The person who spoke was Lord Zhuge of the Ministry of War.
Xie Shangshu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in recent years, the grain harvest has been lost year after year, and the disasters in various places have been continuous. Last month, the last 5 million taels of silver from the state treasury were also distributed to the local treasury to fight floods and disasters, and now there are only 2 million taels left on the books...... and the treasury is almost empty of grain and grass......"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, the treasury was so empty, what could they use to fight the earthquake and provide relief, and what to use to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
The hundred officials fell into contemplation, and the emperor was no longer entangled in Yi Shaotian's title.
Fu Guogong stepped forward and said, "The minister still has something to do!"
"Come on!"
Fu Guo said fairly: "The emperor, the minister admonished to cancel the court test, but at present, there is a shortage of people and food in the court, and I hope that the emperor will directly determine the top three according to the results of the test, approve the Jinshi and the first, and transfer them to the sixth department as soon as possible to give advice for my Daxuanguo." ”
Emperor Xiaowu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Okay, how many people have passed the test this time?"
"Emperor Yu, a total of twenty-two people! The first is Yi Shaotian, a genius in Yuzhou, the second is Xue Yanyu, a genius in Beijing, and Zhuge Qing, a genius in Beijing, and Zhou Chenghai, a genius in Shizhou. ”
"Congratulations, congratulations to Lord Zhuge ! Congratulations to Lord Xue"
A group of old ministers in the audience whispered, and the faces of Prime Minister Xue Cheng and Lord Zhuge of the Ministry of War suddenly radiated.
Emperor Xuan patted the dragon chair and said: "Okay, immediately announce the world, the first Yi Shaotian is the champion of the imperial gift, Xue Yanyu and Zhuge Qing are both the eyes of the list, and Zhou Chenghai is the Tanhua! ”
Yi Shaotian was surprised and delighted, thinking, this is too child's play, but he still knelt down to thank him, and thought in his heart that he must not assign himself other official positions, it is enough to be the head of the Imperial Medicine Palace.
"Emperor, the minister has words!"
"Hurry up!"
It was Master Shang Shutie of the Ministry of Industry who stepped forward to speak, and he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please transfer Yi Zhuangyuan to the Ministry of Industry to help the Ministry of Industry fight and disaster relief, repair water conservancy, sort out transportation, and make suggestions." ”
The ghost father-in-law sneered: "Is there no one in the Ministry of Works......? Junior?"
Shangshu Tie of the Ministry of Industry said: "Lord Wang, don't you also want to rob people?"
The ghost father-in-law snorted coldly and said no more.
Because the princes and generals saw what Yi Shaotian did in the city tower, he was not only outstanding in writing but also resourceful and won the heart of Emperor Xuan, and he will be able to make a difference in the future.
Lord Hubu Shangshu Xie stepped forward and said: "Emperor, Yi Zhuangyuan is proficient in the four books and is erudite and talented, but ...... When it comes to water conservancy and transportation, I am afraid that there is a temporary lack of experience, and the minister thought that he could be transferred to the household department, but now there are many vacancies in the household department, and the treasury is empty, and there is an urgent need for talents...... , you can take on the position of a foreigner first!"
Xie Shangshu's children are good friends with Yi Shaotian, and he once single-handedly broke into the Demon Sect to rescue his daughter Xie Qingling, and his children have a very high opinion of him, so Xie Shangshu pays special attention to Yi Shaotian, this refugee pacification incident impressed him, coupled with the repeated recommendations of his son Xie Wen, as well as Emperor Xuan's weight, he must first transfer him to his jurisdiction, otherwise the Ministry of Engineering is tired and dirty, and now there are natural disasters everywhere, what future can there be?
Master Shangshu Tie of the Ministry of Industry said unhappily: "Xie Shangshu, are you openly robbing people with me?"
Emperor Xuan said unhappily: "Everyone is quiet, I canonized Yi Aiqing as the crown prince and protected you all against it, but now it's good, robbing people with the prince? Yi Aiqing not only cured the prince of his natural stubborn disease, but also made him a martial artist." Well, I announced that I would canonize Yi Aiqing as the crown prince and young protector, take charge of the Imperial Medicine Palace, and assist the household department in flood relief and quell the disaster. ”
Yi Shaotian saw that Long Yan was displeased, and he originally wanted to shirk the position of Prince Shaobao again, but he could only give up temporarily, knelt on the ground and received the order: "Emperor Xie, Weichen has the order!"
When everyone heard this, they knew that the prince Shaobao was the meaning of the prince, it turned out that the prince's illness was treated by Yi Zhuangyuan, and he was immediately impressed, plus he had two merits, no wonder Emperor Xuan insisted on sealing him as a young guard, although the young guard is a second-grade official position, but there is no actual power, and the princes and ministers no longer speak against it.
But what everyone is puzzled about is that Emperor Xuan actually let a young guard serve as the head of the Imperial Medicine Palace, which is too unusual, the Imperial Medicine Palace is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Hospital, is he still proficient in medical skills?
In fact, Yi Shaotian wanted to be in charge of this matter, mainly to facilitate himself to use the heavenly and earthly treasures of the Great Xuan Empire to refine medicine and make wine.
The ministers of all walks of life had ghosts in their hearts, and the ghost man almost laughed out loud, and sneered in his heart: "Why do you think that the United States is poor, flood fighting and disaster relief? I don't see what you can do? If you dare to be the enemy of my Dongwei Mansion again, then you will be killed immediately!"
Yi Shaotian is proficient in both civil and military affairs, and when the ghost father-in-law heard what the emperor said, he thought that Yi Shaotian and his party were ordered by the emperor to secretly supervise Dongwei and Xiwei, and he couldn't help but think that the emperor still had doubts about himself, and he secretly killed him, if this new champion could not be used by Dongwei, then he must be killed.
As for the killing of the Xiwei Iron Tiger, as soon as the ghost father-in-law returned to the imperial palace yesterday, he gave the Xiwei a number of major crimes, the Xiwei Governor has always been inseparable from the East Guard, and now that the Iron Tiger is dead, there is no successor to the West Guard, and the Ghost Father-in-law naturally recommended his proud subordinate Iron-Faced Demon Liu Yu to serve as the West Guard Governor, and since then the East and West Guards are in his hands, and he is proud.
