Inside Liangyi Hall.

"You Pushe, Doctor Kong has just been buried. You can submit a memorial to recommend Zhang Ming as the Censor. Is this a bit too anxious?"

Li Zhi's eyes swept across the faces of the prime ministers on both sides, with a smile on his face.

Chu Suiliang immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this memorial is for Doctor Kong. Doctor Kong was devoted to serving the country for ten years, and even suffered from illness. Therefore, I believe that when Doctor Kong left, he was most worried about the Censorate. Zhang Ming had the most experience. During these days when Doctor Kong was ill, he made great contributions to the management of the Censorate. His ability is obvious to all. Among the ministers in the court, no one is more suitable than Zhang Ming. If Zhang Ming took office, I believe no one would object."

Li Zhi glanced at him and said, "I am not denying Zhang Ming's ability. I also know that he is the most suitable candidate. I just think this is a bit too anxious. The position of the Censor can be set up or not. Our dynasty has also been there. The Censor Central Committee will manage the Censorate for a long time, so I won't wait for a while."

Chu Suiliang didn't know what Li Zhi was thinking, because it was not the first time to recommend Zhang Ming to be promoted to the Censor. When Dr. Confucius was sick, he had already recommended it. However, Li Zhi refused on the grounds that Dr. Confucius was there. In fact, it was okay for the Censor to be there. The problem was that if you arrange someone to sit on one day, it would be more than worth the loss. He said: "Your Majesty, now Dr. Confucius has just passed away, and the ministers in the court do not understand the saint's will. Many people are staring at the Censor. If they abandon it, many ministers will definitely come to fight for this position, and even trigger a struggle in the court, which will seriously affect the atmosphere in the court. It will make many officials unwilling to handle government affairs, and at the same time put the Censor in the struggle. In order to eliminate the thoughts of those people and to allow Dr. Confucius to rest in peace, the minister suggested that Zhang Ming be promoted to the Censor immediately."

Li Zhi couldn't see Chu Suiliang's excitement and thought, if he had known this, he would have called Han Yi too.

Chu Suiliang is a bronze tooth and is famous for being eloquent. However, Han Yi has been speechless after several words. He is a natural enemy. But then again, this is a prime minister-level meeting and has nothing to do with Han Yi. Why should Han Yi participate?

Li Zhi couldn't say anything about Chu Sui◆◆, Liang. He glanced at him and said, "What do you guys think?"

Han Yuan, who were naturally standing on Chu Suiliang's side, all expressed their opinions and agreed.

Li Zhi looked at Yu Zhining again and said, "What do you think Zuo Pushe thinks?"

Yu Zhining didn't want to speak because he thought Chu Suiliang would do this and he could hide if he could. However, the emperor asked in person, and he couldn't help but answer, so he said: "Your Majesty. Zhang Ming has always performed very well in the Censorate. He is the most capable minister in the Yonghui period. He deserves to be promoted."

Li Zhi nodded and suddenly glanced at the silent Changsun Wuji, with a look of expectation flashing in his eyes, and said, "What do you think about the Taiwei?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned, as if he had just fallen asleep, and was stunned. He looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Ming has been in contact with the old minister. The old minister should avoid this matter."

This Zhang Ming is the younger brother of Changsun Wuji's brother-in-law.

Instead of expressing his opinion, Li Zhi became even more depressed. He originally wanted to regard this matter as a condition of negotiation, but in the current situation, it seemed that these prime ministers did not intend to give him this opportunity to take advantage of the situation. He asked for Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji did not express any opinions. However, except Changsun Wuji, the rest agreed. Even though they knew they were colluding, they had no way to do anything.

This incident is actually a microcosm of Li Zhi's career so far.

Li Zhi felt a little blocked in his chest, but he suddenly remembered Han Yi's words "Let it go with the flow", so he forced himself to do so and said, "Since all my dear friends think this should be done, okay, I will promote Zhang Ming to the Censor today."

One hour later.

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. Chu Suiliang is so disgusting. He only knows to ask me to do this and that, but I just have such a small request, and he doesn't want to agree. It's really too much."

Li Zhi was furious in the hall and was really angry! Everything must be discussed and done. There is no reason, I will always satisfy you, but you don’t satisfy me. This is too unfair.

In fact, this has nothing to do with whether Zhang Ming is a censor or not. Instead, he doesn't feel that he is an emperor at all. Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others are the ones who are the ones who write the imperial edict. Anyway, I will write whatever you say.

Frustrated!

Too frustrating.

Han Yi, who had just been summoned to the palace, stood below, looked at Li Zhi's angry look, and sighed in his heart, "Power!" said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. In fact, this game has just begun. It is still unknown who will win."

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "Han Yi, be honest, how confident are you in this matter."

There was a sense of resentment in his tone. He ignored whether Wu Meiniang would become the queen or not. As long as Zhang Ming could not successfully become the censor, he would be happy.

It's obvious that you're angry!

Han Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have always said that I should let it go. Since I should go with the flow, it should happen or not. Today, the right servants' aggressiveness can only make them suffer. At that time, your Majesty can exclaim this bad breath."

Li Zhi's face calmed a little while when he heard this, he said happily: "Are you serious about this?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "As long as you can do it with the flow, it will come true."

Li Zhi asked in confusion: "What exactly can we say to let the flow be?"

Han Yi asked back without answering, "I heard that the appointment of the Censor Zhongcheng has always put the opinions of the Censor, and I wonder if it is not?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, in order to avoid disharmony between officials from above and below, the positions of Censors and Chief Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and other deputy officials are generally considered to be the recommendation of the chief official. What do you ask about this?"

Han Yi said: "Wei Chen just wanted to say that this is just let the flow."

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "That is to say, you have expected what happened today?"

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, things in the world are unpredictable, but if you don't work hard, you will never succeed. And success is often born from failure."

In the inner hall of the Yuan family, there were seven or eight old men, all of whom had white hair and beards, but their faces were rosy. They were all elders of the Yuan family, and their food and use were not worse than those of the emperor. Their body was naturally stronger than that of ordinary elderly people.

At the end of the seat were a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman, who were Yuanjiu and Yuan Mudan.

"Fei'er, why are you coming back suddenly?"

The old man sitting in the main seat suddenly said to Yuanjiu.

The old man is named Yuan Xi, and he is the current head of the Yuan family.

"Fei'er" is the nickname of Yuanjiu.

An old man next to him said, "I see where he got into debt again and ran back to take refuge."

Yuanjiu said depressedly: "Uncle, that's what happened a long time ago. I have become a good person. If you are fine, you can pay more attention to your nephew's current situation. After all, we are a family."

"puff!"

When an old man drinking water heard this, he immediately squirted out a sip of tea, then pointed at Yuanjiu and said, "How has your kid changed? You are still the same as before, cynical."

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "Can you come back to see us old men?"

"Of course."

Yuanjiu smiled and suddenly said seriously: "However, there is another small thing to ask some uncles and uncles."

Yuan Xi frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

Yuanjiu said: "That's right, I hope all uncles and uncles will give Xiaohu some freedom."

Yuan Xi was stunned when he heard this. He said, "Who has sued you? We old men all like Xiaohu very much. What he wants to do, we rarely object to it. The only thing we oppose is that he always goes to the army to fight, but he can't persuade him. It's best if you come back, and persuade him well. In the future, the important tasks of our Yuan family may fall on him and Mudan."

Yuanjiu hurriedly said, "Uncle said very well, I came back this time to persuade Xiaohu."

Yuan Xi said: "You have a way?"

"Yes, I have!"

Yuanjiu said: "Just find something for Xiaohu to do."

"What's up?"

"If you enter the court, you can be an official, as long as you don't need to fight a war."

Yuan Xi was stunned and said, "I will become an official in the court?"

"yes!"

"Is this what Xiaohu asked for?"

"That's not. I think so."

Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Ji with suspicion and said, "You are not referring to the Minjian Bureau, right?"

Yuanjiu smiled and said, "Although my uncle is not in the court, he is really familiar with the news in the court!"

Yuan Xi lowered his eyebrows slightly and said, "Fei'er, what Xiaohu wants to do, I have always supported him very much, but you shouldn't forget the ancestral teachings of our Yuan family. If you were just a free official, I would not object, but the Civil Security Bureau would not be able to do it. I don't know whether you are clear about it. The Civil Security Bureau has approved it on his own regardless of the opposition of the important ministers. It involves many interests. If Xiaohu goes, he will definitely be involved in this struggle. This will harm the interests of all our family members. The forces we have worked hard to establish may be wasted. I will never agree to Xiaohu go to the Civil Security Bureau."

Another old man said: "Xiaohu is the eldest grandson of our Yuan family. He can live whatever kind of life he wants. All beauties in the world can be selected. There are several ministers in the court who can live like Xiaohu. Isn't it a pity to be an official?"

Yuanjiu said to Yuan Mudan sitting opposite him: "Little sister, aren't you going to say a few words?"

Yuan Mudan rolled his eyes and then turned his head aside.

"It's really unfaithful."

Yuanjiu looked at Yuan Mudan with a smile, then looked at the elders with a smile, and said, "Xiaohu's situation is quite special, so please give it a favor."

The old man sitting on the left of Yuanxi said, "You are so light. Now the situation in the court is changing rapidly. Maybe the change will happen at the next moment. The Fang family was so powerful. When Fang Xuanling was alive, he was no less powerful than Changsun Wuji. But what was the result? It was just because he chose the wrong person, which led to his descendants being killed and sent to others. Our Yuan family has experienced countless times. It was all because of the ancestral teachings of our family that he was completely safe. This must not be relaxed."

Another old man said, "Fei'er, you are not helping Xiaohu, but hurting him."

Yuanjiu put away his playful smile and said seriously: "Since you have said this, my nephew just said it. This is what you owe me. I'm just here to ask for a reward."

The old men were all stunned and looked at each other.

Yuan Xi said: "Why do you have to ask Xiaohu to go to the Min'an Bureau?"

Yuanjiu said: "Because I don't want to be old anymore, I have to go thousands of miles away to collect the corpse of Xiaohu. I think this is a very good opportunity for Xiaohu. At least your Majesty personally recruited him. Moreover, this is not certain. I just said that if Xiaohu is willing to go, you should not object. If he doesn't want to go, I will not force it."

Yuan Xi was stunned and after a while, he said, "You really want to do this?"

Yuanjiu nodded.

"Okay! I promise you this time that it is the family that returns you a favor, but the ugly words are ahead. If the interests of the family are endangered, no matter who you are, I will definitely expel you from the house."

"I'm more conscious of this matter. I'll leave on my own, just like last time."

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Then you should take care of yourself."

As he said that, he shook his long sleeves and walked out strode, while the rest of the old men also stood up and left.

Soon, the only brothers and sisters in the inner hall were Yuan Mudan and Yuan Jiu.

Yuan Mudan smiled and said, "You are the one who can make your uncle so angry and make him surrender, you are brother."

Yuanjiu said angrily: "You will be sarcastic here. I remember you agree with it, but I didn't say a word for me just now."

"They won't listen to me in this kind of thing."

Yuan Mudan smiled helplessly and said, "Although you convinced uncle and the others, what should I do with Xiaohu?"
