Chapter 168 Arrogant Wang Lin(1/2)
Yuwen Yuanzhen has accepted the fact that he has become the prime minister.
Next, he needs to set up his own Prime Minister's office.
Although the officials in the Prime Minister's office have low salaries, they are directly under the Prime Minister's management.
In the past, many officials had flattered themselves just for the sake of their quota.
But Yuwen Yuanzhen did not choose from among the courtiers.
Instead, he went to the Ministry of Personnel to obtain information on officials at all levels and then started selecting.
Those who can be selected must be young talents with good conduct.
Moreover, the family background must be unblemished.
Secondly, focus on selecting from poor families.
Yuwen Yuanzhen quickly selected a group of places and handed the list to the East Palace.
Guo Tianyi did not look carefully and said directly, "Teacher, you can do it with confidence and boldness. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you."
Guo Tianyi's attitude did not make Yuwen Yuanzhen feel complacent.
On the contrary, I once again emphasized in my heart that I must be self-denial and serve the public, and assist His Highness wholeheartedly.
"My lord, I will definitely live up to His Highness's high expectations."
"Teacher, in fact, there is no need for you and me to be so unfamiliar with each other. Jinyiwei will also help the teacher to manage the affairs of the capital. Teacher, you are making me feel very uncomfortable."
"Your Highness, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. I dare not go beyond..."
Yuwen Yuanzhen's clear attitude made Guo Tianyi feel helpless.
History is always surprisingly similar.
As he gets closer and closer to the throne, even his teacher is trembling with fear.
No wonder every emperor calls himself a widower.
Because the emperor has no real friends.
But there is one thing that Guo Tianyi is very happy with.
That is, it is better to be feared by others than to be close to others.
He is the future emperor, and in many cases, he cannot rely on personal relationships to do things.
Guo Tianyi originally wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Yuwen Yuanzhen today.
But now it seems that normal communication is no longer possible.
After a few more pleasantries, Yu Wenyuan retreated in shock.
Guo Tianyi had nothing to do, so he went straight to the harem.
I was lucky enough to pamper Zhang Qiyue last night. Zhang Qiyue is truly a little fairy...
Now that the court has a new prime minister, Yu Wenyuan Zhen, a new pattern has emerged.
Today's courtiers are not as dominant as in the past.
Rather, it presents a diversified situation.
Yan Xiliang is a good old man, but Yuwen Yuanzhen is not.
He has a great reputation and tough methods. No matter whether he is a noble or an important minister, no one dares to be too arrogant in front of Yu Wenyuan Zhen.
This is what Guo Tianyi is happy to see.
Shepherds generally do not drive their sheep away themselves.
There are often excellent shepherd dogs to guard the sheep.
the other side.
Wang Zhene's injuries have also recovered a lot.
The torture I suffered in the Ministry of Punishment was so horrific that I couldn't even get out of bed and walk.
Today, an old acquaintance came to Wang Zhene's house.
He is Wang Zhene's cousin and a relative of the Zhang family who is Guo Tianyi's uncle, named Wang Lin.
Wang Lin and Wang Zhene are cousins.
He is eight years younger than Wang Zhenyi, and is only thirty-five this year.
With the rise of Guo Tianyi, most of the vassal princes and princes were killed. Some of the nobles in the capital were living cautiously, while others were struggling with the rising tide.
The relatives of the Wang family where Concubine Rong lives are an obvious example.
After the domineering and domineering Wang Weining among the Wang family's relatives was punished by Guo Tianyi, most of the Wang family's relatives kept a low profile.
But since Guo Tianyi became the crown prince and took charge of the country, some relatives of the Wang family still disappeared.
Wang Lin, for example, is a typical representative.
He originally served in the Ministry of Household Affairs and was only an inspector of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was not even qualified to go to court to discuss matters.
But just because Guo Tianyi became the crown prince, the threshold of the Wang Lin family was almost trampled to pieces.
The same is true for Wang Zhene.
Although Wang Zhene was recuperating from illness, officials from various ministries and dignitaries came to visit him every day and gave him many nourishing gifts.
For the sake of worldliness, Wang Zhene was reluctant to refuse some officials with whom he had good relations.
But there is still a bottom line for Wang to suppress evil.
He would definitely not help others with some excessive matters.
But Wang Lin is different.
He came here today just for the entrustment of a "good friend" to discuss with his cousin to see if he could get an imperial order from the East Palace to complete the matter.
"Brother, I heard that you can get out of bed and walk. You look good..."
Wang Lin's face was full of youth, his steps were empty, and he looked like his body had been hollowed out. He spoke with a bit of elegance.
"Why are you here again?"
"Is it because of your good friend's business again?"
Wang Zhene was basking in the sun in the small courtyard. When he saw Wang Lin, he frowned.
"Good brother, I really can't hide anything from you..." Wang Lin handed the two boxes of gifts in his hand to the servant and said flatteringly, "Brother, the status of our Wang family is not what it used to be.
Besides, my good friend’s matter is not against the law, I just need you, brother..."
Wang Zhene is Guo Tianyi's biological uncle.
And he has a good relationship with Guo Tianyi.
If Wang Zhen'e is willing to come forward and go to the East Palace, the matter entrusted by his friend will be settled.
"I advise you to give up on this." Wang Zhene said solemnly, "Have you forgotten how His Royal Highness punished those corrupt officials in the past?"
"Oh, brother..." Wang Lin patted his thigh and said, "My friend's only brother was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment. Besides, his brother didn't commit any serious crimes that were harmful to nature. You just go for this kind of thing.
The East Palace has something to say to Qiu Yu and others..."
The friend Wang Lin spoke of was an honorable nobleman.
It's just that his friends gave him too much.
Otherwise, Wang Lin wouldn't run to Wang Zhene's house again and again.
After a major reshuffle, Guo Tianyi in the Ministry of Punishment was replaced by people from the Legalist family, most of whom were from Wang Yuan.
Who is Taiwei Wang Yuan?
This is the Iron Bread Man.
A ruthless person who is willing to kill his head in order to reduce his vassal status.
Can ordinary people get through to him?
Except for the people in the East Palace, no one can use it.
"Wang Lin, I advise you not to destroy your own future." Wang Zhene said with a sinister expression, "You think I don't know about the good things you have done recently, but I heard that you have acquired several new apartments.
Concubine, you took it by force, and even broke someone’s leg at the Red Man’s Hall the day before yesterday, so Shuntian Prefecture Yin Zhang Mao will give you face?”
The rumors that Wang Zhene heard were only part of them.
Wang Lin was originally an indolent person, but as more and more people came to praise him these days, he gradually lost himself.
He now has no shortage of money and beautiful women, and his biggest hobby is playing with women.
Many of the concubines at home were given by nobles.
Some were directly occupied.
There was also a fight in the Hall of Fame that not only broke someone's leg, but also sent evil slaves to beat him to death and throw his body into the river afterwards...
To be continued...
