Tang Mingren changed his previous indifference towards Chen Changfeng.
Chen Changfeng was also frequently invited to drink at the banquet. Tang Xueer felt indescribably happy when she saw Chen Changfeng and her father enjoying themselves.
But Tang Lin didn't feel that way.
He still doesn't believe that Chen Changfeng can condense water into ice with the power of a mortal.
Even though he already knew that the saltpeter was responsible for condensing water into ice.
But Tang Lin still felt that Chen Changfeng was too magical.
The saltpeter was there, but no one had thought that it could condense water into ice.
Tang Lin, deeply confused about Chen Changfeng, took Tang Xueer to visit his mother.
Chen Changfeng was invited by Tang Mingren to drink tea in the study.
Although Yao Xiaoren asked him to invite Tang Mingren to serve as the Minister of Civil Affairs, Chen Changfeng was still a little worried.
Worrying about whether Tang Mingren is really capable of shouldering this important task.
"His Royal Highness, do you have something to ask the old man?" Tang Mingren looked at Chen Changfeng and said with a smile.
Chen Changfeng secretly thought that Tang Mingren was indeed a human being. Before he even opened his mouth, he had already guessed that he had something to ask him.
"I heard from Prime Minister Yao that Mr. Tang had served as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs before. This time Mr. Tang agreed to come out again. I don't know what he is going to do next?" Chen Changfeng said slowly.
He followed Yao Xiaoren's suggestion to invite Tang Mingren because Chen Changfeng believed in Yao Xiaoren.
But to be honest, Chen Changfeng didn't really believe in the strength of Tang Mingren in front of him.
Tang Mingren looked at Chen Changfeng and understood that Chen Changfeng was testing him.
Then he said with a smile: "The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of civil servants, examinations, promotions and demotions, awards and transfers. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel plays an important role in the Ministry of Personnel."
"A few days ago, there were rumors that His Majesty was investigating corruption in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and more than 80% of the officials in the court were implicated. I was thinking at that time, why are there so many officials involved in corruption?"
"The old man thought about it for a long time before he realized that the imperial court's supervision was not strong enough. The imperial court did have a censorship station, but what if the censor himself was involved in the case?"
"The only way is to leave this power of supervision to the people of the world!"
"Leave it to the people of the world!" When Chen Changfeng heard this, he was a little surprised by Tang Mingren's advanced thinking.
The people of the world monitor all officials, and of course they are the best eyes and ears.
After all, people are everywhere, and no official knows when he or she will be targeted.
This will indeed frighten corrupt officials and make them afraid to reach out.
It played a great role in the administration of the Ming Empire.
"Of course, it is not enough to just rely on the people. The reason why officials are officials is that they have absolute rights. If the people have no way to supervise and complain, then supervision will have no effect."
"In addition to allowing the people to monitor, we must also give the people the right to write letters. And the old man, I suggest that you, the prince, catch this person."
"For the prince, this is definitely a weapon to manipulate the officials." Tang Mingren said with a smile.
Since he agreed to Chen Changfeng's invitation, Tang Mingren would naturally help Chen Changfeng.
If Chen Changfeng can hold on to the evidence that hundreds of officials are corrupt, his status as the prince will be untouchable.
None of the officials would have the guts to deal with Chen Changfeng.
"What Mr. Tang said is very good, but the people's petition cannot fall into my hands. Does Mr. Tang understand?" Chen Changfeng nodded, then shook his head.
Tang Mingren was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily after a moment.
His eyes burst out with a look of shock.
He understood what Chen Changfeng meant.
Even if the people of the world can really supervise the court officials, the people's letters cannot be left in Chen Changfeng's hands.
He is still just a prince, not the Ming Emperor.
If he had control over the lifeblood of hundreds of officials, wouldn't the emperor be worried that Chen Changfeng would one day lead hundreds of officials to force him into the palace?
Even if the emperor didn't suspect it, wouldn't anyone else hint to the emperor about this?
This is absolutely fatal to Chen Changfeng.
"The prince has farsightedness, and the old man almost lost his head." Tang Mingren and Chen Changfeng held hands.
Chen Changfeng helped Tang Mingren sit down: "Mr. Tang just wants to help me, and the idea of the people in the world supervising all officials makes my eyes shine. Mr. Tang is indeed a great talent."
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just vulgar words."
"By the way, Mr. Tang, I have one more thing to ask you. You can tell this to His Majesty at the meeting tomorrow..." Chen Changfeng took out a small notebook from his arms and handed it to Tang Mingren.
…
"Your Majesty, the prince is here." When he went to the study, the emperor was reviewing the memorial, Liu Xi reported.
"Why is this kid here again?" The emperor put down his ink pen and pinched his trigeminal nerve.
Now that he heard Chen Changfeng coming to see him, he felt a headache.
Every time the little brat looks for me, nothing good comes of it.
"The old slave wants the prince to go back?" Liu Xi whispered.
Liu Xi was also a little worried, as the prince would roar like a wolf in anger like last night.
"Forget it, let him come over." The emperor waved his hand, indicating to Liu Xi to let Chen Changfeng in.
Chen Changfeng walked into the study room and saw the emperor staring directly at him.
Apparently he still hasn't gotten over what happened yesterday.
Chen Changfeng could also understand that the emperor always had a bad temper, so he would be better off if he attacked him a few more times in the future and he would slowly get used to it.
If the emperor knew what Chen Changfeng was thinking now, he would probably pick up the ink pen on the table and stab the bastard Chen Changfeng to death.
"Why are you here again?" The emperor sounded unhappy and didn't even bother to pretend.
"Didn't my father agree yesterday to leave the choice of Minister of Staff to my son? I already have a candidate." Chen Changfeng would not be affected by the emperor's tone.
"So fast?" The emperor was a little surprised and said, "You didn't just find someone at random, did you?"
"I can tell you that the Minister of Civil Affairs is of great importance. If it is an unknown person who cannot be used, I will not agree to it."
The emperor knew in his heart that Chen Changfeng had no one he could use.
The only civil servant was Yao Xiaoren.
In addition to the seven kills left by Chen Changfeng the day before yesterday.
Isn't this guy planning to let Qisha serve as the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty?
The emperor was suddenly startled.
If this were the case, the emperor would definitely kick Chen Changfeng out.
If Qi Sha becomes the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Empire will be ridiculed by the world.
"My father also knows this person, he is..."
"What is it? If you dare to say it is Seven Kills, you will see if I beat you or not." Before Chen Changfeng finished speaking, he saw the emperor's face darken.
"It's Tang Mingren, the father of the Crown Princess." Chen Changfeng looked at the emperor with strange eyes.
He felt that there must be something wrong with the emperor's mind.
Otherwise, why would he think that he would make Qisha the Minister of Civil Service?
Isn't this nonsense?
"It's not Seven Kills, that's fine... No, who were you talking about just now?"
"Don... Akihito?" The emperor came back to his senses, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Yes, that's him." Chen Changfeng nodded.
The emperor looked at Chen Changfeng with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"When Tang Mingren left the court, he swore that he would never step foot into the court again in this life. How did you do it?" The emperor had a puzzled look in his eyes.
Tang Mingren was the Minister of Civil Affairs during the late emperor's period. During his tenure as Minister of Civil Affairs, he was the most shining presence in the Six Ministries.
But because the emperor ascended the throne, Tang Mingren left angrily on the grounds that the emperor's cruel means to win the throne were used.
He also vowed not to step foot into the court again in this life.
But why did Chen Changfeng invite him?
The emperor was puzzled. Based on his understanding of Tang Mingren, Tang Mingren was definitely not a person who told lies.
"How did you do it?" Chen Changfeng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Maybe it's because I am more handsome!"
