In the quiet Qin'an Palace, the monarch and his ministers continued their so-called secret talks.
In the eyes of the emperor, Qi Yu was considered a courageous person, and he actually took on this matter, but he didn't know that the latter had his own ideas.
Yes, Qi Dalang's move was out of selfish motives.
So what is selfishness?
——Hate!
Yes!
Looking back on the past: my ancestral home was burned, my brother-in-law was beaten, my wife and brother were imprisoned, my wife was injured and gave birth prematurely and was infertile, my second uncle was seriously injured and died. In addition, Xiaotong's biological parents were killed, and I almost lost my life... these
These are all given by the Emperor Worship Cult.
In the past, I had been looking for opportunities to try to retaliate, and then offered a strategy that could use stones from other mountains to attack jade. From now on, the effect of poaching is still good.
However, this little damage is not enough!
Now that you have this opportunity, how can you miss it?
Therefore, when faced with the emperor's inquiry, Qi Yu agreed without thinking.
However, besides selfishness, there are other reasons.
Not to mention anything else, just based on the "Three No Strategies" that the emperor shouted out, it was worthy of serving him, and moreover, he was willing to do so.
However, Qi Yu realized something was wrong after getting excited!
In other words, something is very wrong!
How come we, Bi Mawen, are needed to investigate and handle this case?
You see, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not the case-handling agencies. Why do they choose people from Xingtaipu Temple?
So, Qi Yu said: "Your Majesty, why don't you choose someone within the three divisions, instead choose a minor minister? You know, I don't have any experience in investigating and handling cases."
The emperor chuckled and said unconcernedly: "My dear, you are humbled. In my eyes, you are a very talented person. You see, in addition to writing novels, you have also contributed to the mace and made works.
He has written "An Exhortation to the Bandits of the Imperial Worship Cult", he has also written "Profits and Losses Have Solutions", and he has also drawn "Dafeng Territory Map". Based on these, we can tell that you are a man of great ability, and you can investigate and handle these matters.
Of course it’s no problem.”
This conclusion has no logic and is even somewhat unreasonable. Who believes it?
If that were the case, how could I still be left in the Xingtaipu Temple by you?
Qi Yu said nothing, but suspicion arose in his heart.
Seeing this, the emperor thought for a while and simply said: "I will tell you the truth. You are the best choice to investigate this case!"
"this……"
"You still don't understand? Let's put it this way, apart from me, you are the only one who knows the secrets about Prince Yongchuan. Therefore, it is best for you to deal with Princess Sichuan!" Then, the emperor's face became condensed again.
, said: "If I choose someone else, it is inevitable that I will kill the donkey after the incident, but I don't want to do that."
That thing...what does it refer to?
Could it be that the emperor killed his brother?
oh, I get it!
If you look at it this way, you have become the only candidate.
However, the emperor guessed wrong. In fact, besides himself, Meng Lanshan and his son also knew about this matter.
However, these words must be kept in your heart and must never be spoken out.
Qi Yu first nodded in agreement, and then said: "Wei Chen is currently serving as a deacon in Xingtaipu Temple. If he goes to do these investigation things, will the ministers criticize him?"
That is to say, the suspicion of being a servant is overturned.
The emperor said: "It doesn't matter. Isn't it justifiable for me to make you a censor? Who dares to criticize you?"
This makes sense.
A censor refers to a person who works for the emperor. Even the veterans of the cabinet have no right to interfere and no one can say anything.
Moreover, the emperor has the right to choose and appoint people, and even if he is willful, he will not violate the rules.
So, the matter was settled.
Qi Yu asked again: "Your Majesty, what kind of censor do you plan to make me?"
The emperor smiled: "Promote the weaving of censorship!"
What?
Insect Censor?
To promote weaving, that is: crickets, also commonly known as crickets.
This title is a bit too funny, right?
Qi Yu wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh, so he could only hold it in.
As for why he was granted such a royal title, the emperor also gave an explanation.
"When you go here, in addition to investigating Princess Sichuan, you also want to help me find some high-quality weavers along the way. That's why you are granted this title. Besides, you can also play a role to a certain extent by going out in the name of this search for weavers.
To deceive others."
Qi Yu nodded suddenly and said, "I understand the intention of hiding it from others, but what's going on with this casual conversation?"
Yes, how should we understand this road?
The emperor smiled and said: "My dear, I don't know. Ningyang County is the hometown of weaving. It's natural for you to go there. To tell you the truth, I have been attracted to the famous people there for a long time."
Haha, the emperor is indeed called the emperor for nothing.
True to its name!
I don't understand how to promote uniform reputation, and I don't understand why the emperor chose the distant rather than searching in the capital.
So, he said: "Your Majesty likes to promote weaving, why don't you send eunuchs to the countryside to capture them? If you go to Ningyang County to search, wouldn't you be looking for something far away?" Seeing that the emperor was puzzled, he explained: "I think the humble minister was still there back then.
When I was farming in the south of the Yangtze River, I often walked around the fields. To be honest with you, the fields and fields were full of grasshoppers, crickets and katydids. You could catch several kilograms of them with just a cup of tea. Yes, yes.
Once deep-fried, it’s still edible.”
"Ha ha……"
The emperor was amused.
Yes, promoting weaving is just fighting insects. How can we talk about weight?
The emperor suppressed his laughter and explained: "I don't know what I know. Crickets are for entertainment and are not edible." After a pause, he added: "Do you know that Ningyang is famous for its crickets? The ones produced there are
Douchong is not only of high quality, but also has a strong temperament, and is praised by the world as the number one insect in Jiangbei. In addition..."
This time, Qi Yu really couldn't help but laugh.
How can a mere insect have a strong temperament?
Is it a bit over?
The emperor said that it was not an exaggeration.
This way is knowledge.
All right!
Then, the emperor talked a lot more rhetorically, but Qi Yu didn't understand a word of it.
Finally, the emperor realized that he was playing the harp to a cow, so he coughed dryly, and then returned to the topic and preached: "If you go to Ningyang now, I won't do anything wrong to you, I will reward you! ... By the way, think about it again, and you will be rewarded!"
Do you have any difficulties? If so, please tell me so that I can help you solve them."
have!
When you encounter this kind of opportunity, you have to have an idea if you don’t have one!
Qi Yu's mind was racing, and he decided to seize this rare opportunity: "Uh... Wei Chen is indeed in trouble! Your Majesty, Wei Chen probably has a narrow escape from death when he goes to Qilu, so before leaving, I want to plead
One thing for Your Majesty."
What a bullshit narrow escape.
The emperor suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot. He would not have asked if he had known better.
"Say it!"
Qi Yu smiled and said: "Weichen has a cousin named Zhou Chunsheng. He has not made any great achievements in the imperial examination. This is also a problem for Weichen. If Weichen's departure is really heroic, I beg your majesty to let him come.
How about replacing the minister?"
The hidden meaning is: to make an exception and promote!
Is it difficult?
For the emperor, it is not difficult, a small matter!
Yes, this is not just a matter of promoting someone to a high position.
So, the emperor directly gave him a reassurance: "If you really handle this matter well, not only will you be my cousin, but I will also promote you one or two positions. Anyway, since you said this, I will
I'll give you a favor and ask your cousin to come to Beijing later, and there will be arrangements with the Ministry of Personnel."
This is a golden saying!
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
"..."
As for the safety issues during this trip, the emperor must have other arrangements, so Qi Yu does not need to worry about it.
That's it, that's it, resign.
Just as Qi Yu turned around, the emperor's voice came to his ears again: "By the way, in your movie "Fighting Swordsman in the Wind", you'd better erase those things about the temple. Well, there's also,
From now on, don’t give away the things I gave you to others. As for your painting, I reluctantly gave it to you, but I didn’t expect that you didn’t know how to cherish it.”
