Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 121 Inspecting the Censor, Little Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain! 【Ask monthly ticket】

"Master Cheng, are you writing a memorial again?"

At this time, an official from Yushitai came over.

After seeing this scene, he was a little surprised and couldn't help but said, "Master Cheng, haven't you been fined twice?"

But when Cheng Rui heard this, he shook his head slightly, and said: "So what if you pay twice? Since we are the censor, we must be loyal to the emperor and speak out. Even if we are relegated, we still have to say what we should say Said."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to write the memorial.

Especially the words above are even more intense than the previous two times.

After the colleague next to him saw it, his face showed helplessness: "Sun Kejian is the queen mother's cousin. To put it bluntly, he is a relative of the emperor, and now His Majesty is showing favoritism. It is useless for you to do this."

"Perhaps, your fourth memorial will make His Majesty Longyan furious and punish you."

"So, Mr. Cheng, you'd better give up and take a rest."

He is very clear.

The Master Cheng in front of him has been staring at the new household servant Sun Kejian recently.

During this period, many problems were discovered, that is, this person has been buying various things privately and contacting merchants.

If it were any other time, it would definitely not attract attention, but now, the other party has the identity of the servant of the household department.

Whatever you do, you will naturally be noticed.

Especially the censor who is responsible for inspecting hundreds of officials.

And Sun Kejian's actions.

Many people have already concluded that this person is doing business in private, violating taboos.

So during that time, the censors played one after another, begging His Majesty to remove Sun Kejian.

But to everyone's shock, His Majesty turned a blind eye to this and directly reprimanded the officials who were presenting.

In particular, Cheng Rui from Yushitai was fined twice in a row.
therefore.

The officials at Yushitai saw it clearly.

Your Majesty, I want to protect Sun Kejian.

After that, they also gave up and no longer chose to continue the memorial, knowing that this would only anger His Majesty.

However, everyone found that Yushi Zhongcheng Cheng Rui didn't seem to care about it at all. In addition to the last time, there were already three memorials.

The officials of Yushitai chose to persuade them one by one, but the other party still insisted.

Even if he was fined, he still persisted.

So to the end.

Simply stop choosing persuasion.

In the end, everyone knew that they could not be persuaded, so they stopped talking.

Now I see Cheng Rui writing the fourth memorial, and judging from the content, the words are still very fierce.

As a colleague, I think it is necessary to persuade me.

However, Cheng Rui didn't mean to stop. He only knew: "If you punish the crime, you can punish the crime. I can ignore other things for the time being, but it is a felony for court officials to do business in private. It is the ancestral system established by Emperor Gao. Violate."

"Okay, you don't need to persuade me any more, just go and do your work. If there is something serious, I will take care of it myself."

Although I know that my colleagues are also concerned.

But Cheng Rui has his own persistence.

In fact, some time ago, because of Song Gongwen, he also wrote some memorials.

Even if he is not as fierce as other censors, he knows that this person is not suitable to be a cabinet scholar.

Until the end, after the other party successfully carried out reforms in Longyang Mansion, Cheng Rui understood that this head of state might really have extremely strong abilities.

But Sun Kejian, the queen mother's cousin, didn't think so.

This is a family of merchants, plus the previous reputation.

He has no imperial examination honors.

Cheng Rui thinks.

Let such a person serve as the servant of the household department, I am afraid that it will cause harm to the people.

Just like this time, the other party was buying a large amount of silk wine in private, which made him suspicious.

As a censor, I think this matter must be reported to His Majesty for a thorough investigation.

Even if you give up your future future, you must do so.

And this is what he insisted on in his heart.

Seeing this, the colleagues next to him knew that there was no way to persuade them, so they didn't say anything more at the moment.

"Where is Yushitai Cheng Rui?"

But at this moment, a sharp voice appeared.

It was Wang Jin who led a group of people and walked into the Yushitai, holding the decree in his hand.

Everyone present raised their heads, especially after hearing that sentence, their expression changed immediately.

They knew that the person in front of them was His Majesty's personal eunuch.

Not just the admiral.

Also in charge of the East Factory.

Li Fang, the second cabinet assistant at the time, was exiled because of this person's investigation.

Now, he suddenly came to Yushitai with an edict, which made everyone have a bad premonition.

Cheng Rui, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the third memorial he had written before, and the punishment of the first two times, he seemed to realize something.

However, he was not flustered, but took a deep breath, then stood up, bowed slightly and said: "The next official is Cheng Rui."

After seeing the decree, he knelt on the ground and waited for the decree to be announced.

Even the other censors came over and knelt down one after another.

Although it's just a decree.

It can represent His Majesty, so it is natural to observe etiquette.

Wang Jin looked at the person opposite, looked up and down, and nodded secretly.

Although it was only the first time seeing Cheng Rui.

But he could tell that this person was neither humble nor overbearing.

It stands to reason that after the previous two incidents.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the decree issued by His Majesty at this time must be a more severe punishment, and ordinary people will definitely panic.

It can be seen from the reactions of the censors next to him.

But the person in front of him showed no fear on his face.

On the contrary, there is some calmness.

Thinking of what His Majesty said about this person in Jingde Palace today, he can indeed be regarded as an admonishing minister.

Immediately, without hesitation, he directly opened the decree in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Decree from Your Majesty, Cheng Rui, the censor Zhongcheng, is a man of integrity and noble character. He is specially promoted to inspect the censor, supervise the Grand Canal and build straight roads."

The decree in Wang Jin's hand is not an imperial decree, so the tone of the decree will be different.

What's more, it's just the promotion of an inspector censor, which is not a big deal in the court.

It is completely different from the previous promotion of Song Gongwen as a cabinet scholar.

And when this decree came out.

The expressions of the censors all changed slightly.

They had heard about it before, at today's imperial meeting.

His Majesty proposed two projects, the Grand Canal and the cultivation of Wei Zhidao, and made them national policies.

Originally, everyone felt that these two projects were a waste of money and people, and they wondered if they wanted to persuade His Majesty to take it back.

After all, they are all censors, and it is their job to persuade the emperor.

But thinking about the recent period.

After His Majesty hardly agreed to any of Yushitai's advice, he planned to give up.

Instead of getting into trouble, it's better to forget it, and it's not too late to choose to write a memorial when something really goes wrong.

Now, His Majesty ordered Cheng Rui to supervise these two projects
It's confusing.

Because almost all the officials present knew it.

This Lord Cheng has been fined twice by His Majesty.

And not long ago, there was a third memorial, which they could foresee.

His Majesty will definitely order punishment.

But now, it's actually a promotion to let the other party supervise these two projects.
The inspecting censor is different from the ordinary censor. Although there is no difference in official position, the inspecting censor has real power.

For example, once a problem is found, it can be dealt with directly.

And the general censor, even the doctor censor.

The biggest duty is to report to His Majesty, as for whether to deal with it or not, it depends on His Majesty's will.

Therefore, this decree can be regarded as a promotion.

"What, His Majesty ordered me to inspect the censor?"

Even Cheng Rui couldn't help opening his eyes wide.

Before that, he also felt that His Majesty's decree was to punish him, and it would not be light, otherwise there would be no decree, but it would be approved in the memorial through the cabinet.

"Naturally." Wang Jin smiled and continued: "Your Majesty said that you have played three times in a row, you are unyielding, and you are an admonishing minister. The digging of the Grand Canal and the construction of straight roads are the national policy of the Great Wei Dynasty. Of course, you need a minister like you to supervise."

In fact, Wei Yunyi did say something similar, but only the first half of the sentence.

But Wang Jin felt that His Majesty must have meant this in his heart.

And he also knew that since it was a national policy.

That must matter.

Thinking about saying a few more words at this time.

Let this new inspector censor know His Majesty's importance and kindness.

Only in this way can we do things better, can't we?

"This"

After Cheng Rui heard these words, his mind moved slightly, but he quickly reacted, and immediately said: "My minister, thank you for your majesty's kindness."

Before, I gave three memorials in a row, and the words became more intense each time.

But His Majesty, he didn't think so.

Although the salary was fined.

But no substantive punishment was imposed.

Now, he promoted himself to inspect the censor.
It can be seen from this that His Majesty is wise and magnanimous today.

But soon, he suddenly said again: "Then father-in-law, what about the three memorials that were submitted before he was dismissed? Has Your Majesty thoroughly investigated the matter of Sun Kejian?"

It is one thing for His Majesty not to care about himself, but it is another thing for Sun Kejian to violate the ancestral system of the imperial court. The two should not be confused.

So Cheng Rui still wanted to know what His Majesty would do with Sun Kejian.

"Master Sun?"

Hearing this, Wang Jin frowned.

This Mr. Cheng, why is he holding on to this matter?
He didn't know much about Sun Kejian, and with the matter of the Baiyimen and the gentry, he didn't have enough options to investigate.

However, one thing is certain is that His Majesty must have deep meaning in promoting people.

Therefore, regarding the rumors from the outside world, Sun Kejian was doing business in private.

Wang Jin didn't quite believe it.

On the contrary.

This person may be doing a big thing for the court.

Immediately, he thought for a while, and then whispered: "Master Cheng, since His Majesty has promoted you to inspect the censor to supervise the Grand Canal and the Straight Road, I just don't want you to investigate more in this area."

"You just need to remember that every arrangement of His Majesty must have a deep meaning, think about Elder Song Ge, think about Uncle Xiaoguo."

This sentence made Cheng Rui fall into deep thought.

Song Gongwen was promoted to be a cabinet scholar at the beginning.

Almost everyone in the imperial court opposed it.

But in the end, the other party proposed to share his income with his mother, and the success of the reform in Longyang Mansion already showed his talent and ability.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer voices of opposition. Nowadays, many people believe that the head of the country has the qualifications to sit above the second assistant position.

As for Song Hongzhi, almost everyone believed that he was not qualified to be the commander of Liao Town.

And lead the battle between Wei and Gaoyang, even if Gaoyang is weak.

But a person who has only been in the army for more than a month.

Even with the backing of the imperial court, can this battle be won?

All the officials in the imperial court held a negative attitude, even the officials of Yushitai thought so.

However, the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Song Hongzhi not only won.

It will also directly destroy the Gaoyang country.
And it is His Majesty who made these two decisions.

Therefore, after being reminded by Wang Jin, Cheng Rui suddenly felt that he had entered a misunderstanding.

That is to follow the general trend and always think that His Majesty's decision is too hasty.

This is the case with Sun Kejian.

But I never thought about what His Majesty's consciousness is.

Will it be like the Song family and his son, who seem to be wrong on the surface, but in fact, they are all wrong?
Maybe, Sun Kejian is also a talent, but his style of behavior is disliked by his colleagues in the officialdom.

Especially in private business, it may also be a cover-up.
If so.

The memorials he had made these days were not only meaningless, but also extremely stupid.

At this point in his thoughts, Cheng Rui took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for reminding me, sir. Got it."

"Very good." Wang Jin nodded, knowing that this person is upright, but he is not a pedantic person, and then handed over the decree to the other party, and Bing continued: "Okay, since the errands have been completed, our family will Time to go back."

"Master Cheng, you must remember that these two projects are His Majesty's national policy, and they are the most important. You must not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations."

"The subordinate understands!"

Cheng Rui nodded, understanding the meaning.

But Wang Jin didn't continue to say more.

Take the people around you and leave this place.

Censorship Desk.

All the censors came over to congratulate Cheng Rui.

Inspecting the censor, it seems to be a censor, but it is indeed an important step towards the official position of real power.

Moreover, it still supervises the implementation of the two national policies. Once completed, the future is bound to be extremely bright.

Especially some of the censors among them thought, if His Majesty promoted Cheng Rui, did he see that the other party was loyal to the emperor?
When everyone backed down, he continued to play Sun Kejian and was regarded as a critical minister.
Thinking about it, I think that in the future, I will participate in this kind of thing.

You also have to work hard.

You can't choose to stop the flag just because His Majesty punished you. Maybe when the time comes, His Majesty will be promoted because of his daring to speak out?

Of course, Cheng Rui didn't know what these people thought. He knew that the most important thing for him now was to go to his post, and then start to supervise the Grand Canal and build the straight road.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Wang Jin, who had already left Yushitai, immediately summoned Xiao Lizi and others after returning to his residence.

During this period of time, His Majesty has been urging the alchemist, and now it has been delayed for a while.

He felt that it could not go on like this.

The situation must be asked.

And after Xiao Lizi heard the question, he didn't hesitate immediately, and said directly: "Reporting to Eunuch, there is indeed news, and Eunuch Yu has sent a letter, and the location has been locked, and it should be done in these two days."

"Eunuch Yu said that during the period, he followed that little celestial master of Longhu Mountain several times. This person's martial arts cultivation is extremely high."

"At that time, if you want to invite him into the capital, you must do it yourself."

heard.

Wang Jin's eyes lit up immediately.

I just received the news some time ago, I didn't expect to start working in two days, the progress is very fast.

As for the fact that the little celestial master's martial arts cultivation base is extremely high, he also expected it.

He actually asked his senior brother to invite him into the capital himself.

But that's fine too.

The current situation of Baiyimen needs to be discussed carefully, how to deal with it.

After a pause, Wang Jin continued: "What about the remnants of the former royal family? Is there any news?"

"That's not true." Xiao Lizi said: "Because Haizhou is not far from Beiyang Mansion, and the Baiyimen has been implicated, according to your father-in-law, the matter has been handed over to Eunuch Yu to handle it."

The Baiyimen is closely related to the remnants of the previous dynasty.

To avoid leaks during message delivery.

Wang Jin had already explained before that all matters related to the remnants of the former royal family's pirates were left to the senior brother to deal with.

Although he had been inside the imperial palace in his early years, he followed his ancestor for many years and was cautious.

Now there is the cover of the identity of the chief helm of the Baiyimen.

Naturally, it is more convenient to act.

"Then let's wait for the senior brother to come back and talk about it."

At this moment, Wang Jin spoke.

The remnants of the former royal family and the Baiyimen are the top priorities of Dongchang.

As for the matter of the court officials, it can be put aside for the time being.

but.

He really hoped that the brother's actions could be quicker, and he felt that His Majesty could not wait for the alchemist's matter.

Jiangnan, Beiyang Mansion.

Since the last time the master of the Golden Knife Sect was killed.

Beiyang Mansion has improved a lot in terms of security and economy.

The government was very surprised by this, and at first wanted to find out how the master of the Golden Knife Sect died.

Unfortunately, there was no result in the end.

In this regard, the government did not pay attention to it.

After all, in the eyes of many common people, this person almost deserved to die.

Of course, what shocked the government was that after the death of the master of the Golden Knife Gate, the gambling house of the Golden Knife Gate was directly closed down, and there were loans, and the interest rate became very low, which was almost equivalent to lending to the common people for nothing.

This left a lot of people scratching their heads as to what was going on.

And this day, the night is dark and windy.

In a dilapidated temple in Beiyang Prefecture.

A young Daoist dressed in white and with a weak temperament was sitting on the futon.

The young Taoist looks very handsome, looks very out of the world, and is closing his eyes tightly at this time.

A powerful aura surged in his body, but anyone with a discerning eye could almost tell that this young Taoist had a high level of martial arts.

"Oh, it still can't be recovered?" Not long after, the young Taoist opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

Some time ago, not long after he first came to Beiyang Mansion.

Then he found that he seemed to be being followed all the time.

It was easy to shake off at first.

So I didn't care too much about it.

But after.

The young Taoist found out that the person following him had changed, and it was impossible to get rid of him.

He could feel that that person was very strong, so he was unwilling to fight lightly.

So many methods were used to hide the breath.

Can let its surprise is.

The stalker is too strong, no matter what you do, it will have no effect.

I ran for several days in a row and changed several routes, but the final result was still the same.

In desperation, the young Taoist had to choose to confront each other head-on.

Since you can't shake it off, face it head-on.

after all.

He is very confident in his own strength, and feels that even a real master of the rivers and lakes has no fear at all.

But after that person shot, the young Taoist was shocked.

The other party is not only extraordinary.

The speed is even more incomparably fast, even if I have been practicing with my master since childhood, it is difficult to resist.

So after that fight, he was not only unable to win, but also suffered some minor injuries.

More importantly.

The young Taoist could see that the other party did this on purpose.

This is terrible.

Immediately, without any hesitation, he used all the means he could to leave.

Now that he fled to this dilapidated temple, he was relieved after finally not feeling that person's aura.

It's a pity that because he has been looking for escape for the past few days, the injuries on his body cannot be recovered in a short time.

Although it doesn't have much impact on himself, the young Taoist dare not take it lightly.

Because I guessed in my heart, that person would appear at any time.

really.

As soon as this thought came up, a soft voice came into his ears.

"Little Celestial Master."

"After running for so long, you must be tired, right?"

At the same time, a strange figure landed outside the temple.

And the next moment, he walked inside, and this person was Yu Huatian.

At this moment, there was a smile in his eyes, but it was a pity that the feminine aura made him feel like a ghost.

As for the little celestial master in his mouth, he is naturally a young Taoist, and also a little celestial master from Longhu Mountain.

"Monster, I'll fight with you!" Seeing this scene, the little celestial master said that he couldn't run away, without any hesitation, he took a step directly, and at the same time took out the dust whisk in his hand and shook it!
hum!
The powerful breath shakes.

All the stones and slabs in the dilapidated temple flew up and shot out with terrifying vigor.

Seeing this, Yu Huatian didn't say much, just slapped him.

The power of Qi and blood surged, and a huge palm was condensed.

In an instant, all murderous intentions were resolved.

The little celestial master stomped his feet and immediately rose into the air. At this time, he stretched out his hands and shouted: "Five Thunders Zhengyin Palm!"

As soon as the words fell, around him, streaks of black aura rolled out, sweeping out like smoke.

And anything touched by this force, no matter a stone or a stone pillar.

Also burst in an instant.

The entire temple couldn't bear it at all, and collapsed suddenly.

Obviously this martial art is extremely powerful.

Even Yu Huatian couldn't help frowning after seeing this scene.

But there was no fear, a burst of energy and blood flowed around him, and it kept drifting away.

Even if the surrounding stones and rubble fell, they couldn't get close and were directly pushed away.

And in his hand, there was another silver needle.

However, he remembered that this person was the alchemist His Majesty was looking for, and it might be okay to receive a minor injury, but if it was a serious injury, it would be a big problem.

Therefore, Yu Huatian directly raised his hand, and an extremely cool breath suddenly condensed out, and then closed his hands.

boom!
Centered on him.

Terrifying power rushes out.

The black smoke was also completely dissolved.

And Yu Huatian, after these things last night, looked at the dissipating black smoke, and then remembered what the other party said just now, and couldn't help saying: "I never thought that the little celestial master of Longhushan is actually a woman."

　The updates in these two days will be slightly less, but no less than [-] words per day.

　　But don't worry, the wind and snow will return to normal soon.

　　Thanks for the support!
