Chapter 266 So What About Eunuchs? You Can’t Compete!
Emperor Qian's face became increasingly ugly.
"It seems that you have already discussed it. You are just waiting for the court to force me to issue this order."
"Okay, okay! That's great! If there is no evidence, let me punish an unrelated person!"
"It's a shame that you are still the Ministry of Rites! It's a shame that you are still the ones who have read the books of sages for so many years!"
The words were filled with anger.
At this time, Emperor Qian stood up and angrily shouted at the ministers below: "I tell you, after the death of the Minister of Rites, the one who worked most diligently for his death was Lin Yiqiu!"
"In order to find out the cause of his death and this case, he was much more attentive than you!"
"But what about you! You can't help at all! Now you still do such ungrateful things! It really opened my eyes!"
At this moment, Emperor Qian was extremely disgusted with the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Faced with Emperor Qian's angry rebuke, other officials stayed far away, not wanting to get involved in this matter.
They neither expressed their attitude nor stood with the kneeling ministers.
Even several ministers who were kneeling behind them quietly stood up and stopped kneeling with the ministers of the Ministry of Rites.
Emperor Qian continued to scold: "I know that what you all think is actually very simple, it is xenophobia and discrimination!"
"Lin Yiqiu has made such great contributions. I don't know how to reward him. I can only ask the staff to designate an official position and let him be an idle supervisor. It can be regarded as a reward!"
"But you, the Ministry of Rites, have been pushing back and forth from the very beginning, and the documents submitted are ten times more than usual! What you care about is not Kang Qingshou's death, what you care about is the face of the Ministry of Rites!"
This sentence is even more rude!
Emperor Qian almost pointed at the ministers of rites and scolded them for being hypocritical!
A group of people still didn't speak and were still kneeling.
After a while, He Weixin raised his head and cupped his hands and said, "That's right, Your Majesty, that's what I mean!"
Good guy! He just stopped pretending!
"No matter how great Lin Yiqiu's achievements are, he is still just a eunuch!"
"For a eunuch to hold an official position in the Ministry of Rites, this is simply going against the decision of his ancestors!"
"From ancient times to the present, among those eunuchs who have official positions, which one is not a great eunuch or a powerful minister who brings disaster to others?"
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and He Weixin's face turned red!
"So, if such a eunuch enters our Ministry of Rites, what will the students all over the world think? Doesn't it mean that our Ministry of Rites is in cahoots with the eunuchs?"
"Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to agree to this matter no matter what! I have to ask for an explanation from the Ministry of Rites!"
"This is true for all ministers!"
After He Weixin's death, the other ministers of the Ministry of Rites all agreed.
After hearing this, Emperor Qian was extremely angry and laughed.
"You look down on him so much just because Lin Yiqiu is an eunuch, right?"
"Yes, the eunuch is just a eunuch! He is the lowest slave! How can he be an official? How can he be on the same level as us?"
He Weixin was filled with indignation!
Emperor Qian continued to smile and said: "Master He, you are the Minister of Rites, you have great literary talent, you are almost a role model for students all over the world, am I right?"
He Weixin was somewhat proud and boasted: "Thanks to your majesty's affirmation, I am the number one scholar in Tianbao for thirteen years. I dare not say that my literary talent is better than that of the ancients. At least I have no rivals in this world!"
As the top pick, it is not easy for He Weixin to climb all the way to this position.
However, the corners of Emperor Qian's mouth became even more playful.
"In this case, Master He wonders if he can write a poem about a river of spring water flowing eastward?"
"Can Mr. He write a poem that says that life is endless from generation to generation, but the river and the moon are only similar every year?"
Emperor Qian quoted two lines of poetry that Lin Yiqiu once read to her.
Every sentence can be called a quatrain at that time!
After hearing this, He Weixin suddenly became speechless.
"This...this..."
As for the ministers behind him, they didn't even know what to say.
Because these few lines of poetry are indeed of a level that they will never be able to write in their lifetime.
After a long while, He Weixin said with a blushing face: "I am not good at writing poems, and I don't even bother to compare myself with a eunuch!"
"Okay, then if you are not as good as him in writing, how about being better than him in martial arts?"
Emperor Qian said again.
"Wu?"
All the ministers suddenly became speechless.
They are basically civil servants and don't know any martial arts. There is no comparison with this.
He Weixin was speechless at this moment, and his face turned even redder!
Emperor Qian sighed and shook his head.
"Hey, Wu, you can't do it either. In that case, let's compare our cleverness."
"When Lin Yiqiu went on a mission to the State of Wu, he helped Emperor Wu get rid of the father-in-law who had been causing trouble to the court for more than ten years! Only then did Emperor Wu gain great power!"
"Because of him, Xia Lingfeng, the son of King Pingnan, returned safely and unscathed."
The voice became louder and louder, and Emperor Qian looked at the officials below, as if he wanted to see through them!
"Afterwards, people rioted in Shiye City. Lin Yiqiu passed by and the rebellion was ended!"
"If it hadn't been for him, the harem Tang Zhaoyi would have died in Shiye City, and the Chief Secretary's daughter Gu Jinglan would also have died!"
"Master He, can you do these things?"
In fact, there is no need to ask, none of the civil servants can do these things!
Even a military commander would probably feel uneasy!
But Emperor Qian was not over yet.
"You will know more about what happened after that, because you all witnessed Xia Qingwu being escorted to the court!"
"If it hadn't been for Lin Yiqiu, I'm afraid that rebellious girl would have captured Shiye City and targeted the important areas of the capital!"
"It can be said that it is because of him that we are able to stand in this court. Otherwise, all of you, my dear friends, may have become the victims of the rebels!"
Qiandi bit the last word very hard!
And that momentum is really scary!
He Weixin and other ministers of the Ministry of Rites were completely speechless.
Because every one of these things is indeed impossible for them! They are really not as good as this eunuch!
After a while, He Weixin continued with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, even so, Lin Yiqiu is just a eunuch!"
"Eunuchs cannot be ranked with the officials. This is a rule from ancient times! Does your Majesty want to violate this ancestral precept?"
He Weixin directly quoted the ancestral precepts and wanted Emperor Qian to retreat.
But how could Emperor Qian be frightened by this?
She snorted coldly, her smile tinged with a hint of sarcasm.
"Ancestral teachings? Those are also things from the past. Master He, you use the teachings of the previous emperors to regulate this dynasty and make demands on me. Don't you take me seriously?"
Suddenly there was a scolding.
After hearing this, He Weixin's whole back was wet!
"I...I don't dare!"
"I see you have dared! Humph! You are so stubborn!"
Emperor Qian said and returned to the dragon chair again.
"I trust Lin Yiqiu solely because of his outstanding abilities. I don't care what his identity is, because I am a monarch who knows people well and is responsible for them!"
"By the way, I can tell you one more thing! In a few days it will be the day to visit the Confucian Temple, and I have decided to let Lin Yiqiu accompany me there!" This chapter has been completed!
