Determining the candidate for the new Minister of Household Affairs is such an important matter, how can corrupt people like them dare to speak so easily.
The second prince was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
The former Minister of Household Affairs was the servant of his second prince, but now he was killed by the emperor because of corruption.
If the new Minister of Household Affairs were not his second prince, then he would be the biggest loser in this turmoil.
But now the second prince didn't know whether he should speak or not.
Among all the corrupt people, his second prince and the third prince who did not come were the most corrupt.
The emperor must know this.
If the second prince opens his mouth, wouldn't he be making trouble for himself?
"Your Majesty, in this investigation of corruption, His Highness the Crown Prince played the most important role. I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince is the one to hold the post of Minister of Household Affairs." No one spoke, but Yao Xiaoren was not going to sit back and wait.
Yao Xiaoren told Chen Changfeng yesterday that he, Chen Changfeng, should be the Minister of Household Affairs.
It will be of great benefit to Chen Changfeng in recruiting his subordinates in the future.
Moreover, now that the second prince is acting like a rat, he is worried that the emperor will deal with him, the third prince is still lying in bed, and the other officials also want to protect themselves and do not dare to interfere with the affairs of the Minister of Household Affairs.
This is Chen Changfeng's perfect opportunity.
When Yao Xiaoren spoke, all the officials reacted one after another.
Yao Xiaoren, who had been a neutral faction from beginning to end, has now joined the command of Prince Chen Changfeng.
Otherwise, why would Yao Xiaoren help Chen Changfeng fight for the position of Minister of Household Affairs!
Many officials looked at the second prince one after another, and saw that the second prince's face was as dark as water, but he did not dare to say a word. Many people's initial firmness towards the second prince was also slightly shaken.
"The prince's performance has been really good recently. This time he was able to find out the problem in the account book. I have also seen the prince's ability."
"Do you think there is any problem in letting the prince serve as the minister of household affairs?" The emperor nodded and looked at the officials in front of him.
Still no one spoke.
"Why, everyone is mute?"
"Second son, tell me, what do you think?" The emperor looked angry and his eyes fell on the second prince.
The second prince's mouth felt as bitter as if he had eaten coptis.
I wish I could just kill Chen Changfeng, but now I want to send him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance with my own hands.
"My son... I think my sixth brother can..." After holding it in for a long time, the second prince slowly said this.
In my heart, I wished that the fourth prince and the fifth prince would quickly find Qisha and kill Chen Changfeng.
The emperor still looked at the second prince, and then said slowly: "I originally liked you the most, but you disappointed me so much."
"According to my decree, Prince Chen Changfeng has been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and will be in charge of all the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"In addition, when the second prince Chen Wen competed with the Da Chu envoy, his talent was far inferior to his opponent. The second prince was forced to practice behind closed doors for a month without leaving the house." After the emperor's decree was issued, the second prince was stunned.
In situ.
Why did you lack talent and learning during the competition with the Da Chu envoy? This was all in the past. If this was really the reason, the emperor's punishment would still be delayed until now?
It's just an excuse.
Chen Changfeng won the position of Minister of Household Affairs, and his second prince will be imprisoned for a month!
Kill him, must kill him!
The second prince's fists were clenched and turned white, and the murderous intention towards Chen Changfeng in his heart had reached the extreme.
…
"Have you heard that several new bookstores suddenly opened in Beijing? The bookstores only sell a few books, and they are all unfinished books."
"Not only did I hear about it, I also bought a copy and am a member of their bookstore."
"I'm also a member. I bought a copy of Journey to the West, but I only saw the part about three dozen white-bone demons. That bald donkey is really hateful. If I were Sun Wukong, I would definitely kill that bald donkey with a stick."
"Isn't that right? When I saw it, my boy came over and asked for money to buy the Water Margin. I raised my hand and kicked him. Mad, I was not willing to buy the Water Margin, so he wanted to read it first?
"
"The books in this bookstore are so good that I can't bear to put them down. Unfortunately, they are updated too slowly."
"The update is too slow. They are just trying to whet our appetite and make us spend money to watch the next one."
It has been a month since Chen Changfeng was appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs by the emperor.
Many newly opened bookstores suddenly appeared in the capital.
The bookstore doesn't sell anything else, it just sells a dozen novels that no one has ever seen.
And they are more expensive than novels sold in other bookstores.
At first everyone thought that only fools would buy novels that cost five cents each, or unfinished novels.
But when someone tried to buy a copy, they found that the content of the novel was completely different from what they had read before.
Moreover, in these novels, after reading one chapter, I want to read the next chapter. Each chapter is very attractive.
Make them want to stop.
The news spread quickly, and soon everyone in the capital knew that the new bookstore had an extremely novel novel.
"Alas, Lin Daiyu's life is so bitter. All her tears in this life have been given to Jia Baoyu, a heartless man." In the boudoir, there was a young lady who had not left the boudoir with tears in her eyes, holding a stone inscription in her hand.
"I hate you Tang Monk for being such a brainless bald donkey. He didn't listen to what the Great Sage said. He knew that Wukong would save me when he suffered a loss. Bah!" The young man held a long stick in his right hand and Journey to the West in his left hand, with disdain on his face.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is really well written. Let me tell you, Butcher Zhang is also a rough and tumble character." An old man laughed and stroked his long beard.
"I will not harm the country and the people like Gao Qiu. I will be an upright official and a loyal minister!" In the yamen of the capital, the official slapped the Water Margin on the table angrily. He was silent for a moment, and then held it in his hand expectantly.
In the capital city of Ming Dynasty, the novel suddenly became popular.
Men, women, old and young, traders, commoners, and dignitaries all like to read the novels in the newly opened bookstores.
The first thing many people do when they wake up every day is to hold a book in their hands and read it.
The emperor felt that the money he spent was worth it.
What a big injustice? This is called enriching one’s spiritual life.
How else could he see the endings of several novels?
When he went to Yao Xiaoren's house and saw him scratching his head and scratching his head while looking at the novel that had no follow-up, and looking extremely uncomfortable, the emperor realized more and more that his money was well spent.
"Old guy, how about I tell you the story behind Journey to the West?"
"Oh, by the way, if you want to listen to Water Margin, Dream of Red Mansions, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I can tell you all of them. I've finished reading them all!" The emperor sat in front of Yao Xiaoren, with a look of pride on his face.
Yao Tangtang has recovered well and can now take a walk outside.
During her recovery, these novels became her best companion and comfort.
Yao Tangtang really wanted to know who could be so talented and knowledgeable and write such a masterpiece.
"Your Majesty, do you know the people who wrote these novels?" Yao Tangtang immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words.
"I don't know you." The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile on his face: "I am just the supreme member of that bookstore."
"Here, look at this sign, what's on it?"
"Supreme."
The emperor took out the supreme membership card that Chen Changfeng had given him and showed it in front of Yao Xiaoren and Yao Tangtang.
There is also a "1" on the membership card, indicating that he is the first supreme member.
"How about it? Do you want to hear the story behind it? I am free today so I can tell it to you?" The emperor proudly knocked on the table with his membership card.
Yao Xiaoren's face showed a rare look of envy.
The novels in the bookstore did make him a little obsessed, but the supreme membership required one hundred thousand taels of silver.
How could Yao Xiaoren have so much money?
Seeing Yao Xiaoren's envious look on his face, the emperor felt happy.
The money was well spent. That boy Chen Changfeng really didn't lie to him. This supreme member represents his face as the emperor. This chapter has been completed!
