Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 129: Li Gan's Secret Fire, Qin Hui's Flaws!

Although Chen Leyi is very cheerful on the surface, he is carefree and informal.

But he was very conservative inside, and when the situation came to an end, he stopped Li Gan, blushing and saying that this is not the place.

Li Gan took a look at the crude environment in the lounge, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He wrapped Chen Leyi in clothes again, carried her to his room on the third floor,

The next morning, when Li Qian woke up from his sleep,
"His Majesty."

Chen Leyi had already gotten up and put on his clothes. Seeing him wake up, he hurriedly handed him a glass of water.

Li Gan felt better after pouring down a glass of water, and Chen Leyi blushed again and helped him put on his clothes.

When they went downstairs for dinner, Li Qian talked to Chen Leyi about the loom again.

"My concubine, if you like these looms and weaving, I will ask my companion to select a few reliable palace servants for you."

"In the past few days, I will specially allocate an idle palace for you, and you can just let the palace people buy looms there."

"what?"

Chen Leyi opened his almond eyes and looked at Li Qian in surprise.

"Your Majesty, don't you leave it to the Weaving Bureau?"

Li Qian shook his head lightly, and looked at Chen Leyi with a smile: "The people in the Weaving Bureau are not as smart as you, know so many looms and weaving, and they are not as reliable as you."

"Concubine..." Chen Leyi opened her mouth slightly, she thought that after handing over the blueprint, it would have nothing to do with herself.

Li Qian looked at Chen Leyi with a smile: "You don't need to be too tired and meticulous when you take care of these things."

"Don't worry about the trivial chores of weaving, leave it to the people below."

"You just need to look at the loom. If you have nothing to do and can improve it, that would be the best. If you can't, I won't force it."

He took Chen Leyi's little hand and said with a smile: "I don't want to hear the news that you are tired one day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Leyi felt Li Gan's concern for her, and felt sweet in her heart.

"Your Majesty, eat." She scooped up a spoonful of duck porridge with bare hands and fed it to Li Gan's mouth.

Li Gan enjoyed her feeding with a smile, and the meal time passed by in a hurry.

When we arrived at Ziwei Hall, Qin Hui was already waiting here.

"Minister Qin Hui, please refer to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's diligence in administration is greatly admired by you."

At the first meeting, it was a flattery that was neither serious nor serious. Li Qian had gradually become immune to such words, and gave Qin Hui a seat with a smile.

"I'm not talented enough, if you want to make Daqian prosper and live up to the expectations of your ancestors, you will naturally have to redouble your efforts..."

Li Gan chatted with him casually, then brought the conversation back to the topic.

"Are there any mistakes or omissions in Zhu's criticism a few days ago? Qin Xiang wants to give me some pointers today."

"How dare a minister with such a humble body give advice to His Majesty? It can only add a little polish to His Majesty's complex and profound thoughts..."

A friendly exchange slowly unfolded in the Political Affairs Hall of Ziwei Hall.

And in the Cai Mansion in the capital, there is also a friendly exchange slowly unfolding.

The Cai Mansion is large in scale, and Cai Jing likes all kinds of strange stones.

There are lush gardens, exotic flowers and trees, and beautiful rocks dotted here. The strange stones transported from all over the country are exquisitely arranged in the entire Cai Mansion according to the positions of Feng Shui and Eight Diagrams, almost everywhere.

Even in Cai Jing's study, there is a piece of indigo-colored lake stone with fine and smooth surface.

Cai Jing was slightly plump, dressed like a rich man, wearing a cool dark purple bamboo branch lake silk gown, wearing a square scarf on his head, meticulously flipping through the documents on the table.

At this time, Gao Xun, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, hurried over from outside the study in a red official robe, and handed over a memorial copied from Menxia Province.

"Master Cai, please read this memorial."

Cai Jing stroked his gray and white beard, took a look at it, and frowned deeply: "Didn't you go to Longxi to investigate, why did Zhu Zhu change it?"

"It should be Qin Xiang who instigated His Majesty to change it."

Gao Xun was tall and muscular. He frowned and said, "At first, the people in Zhongshu Province thought it was settled, but I didn't expect..."

Cai Jing sighed softly: "Qin Hui is really a good trick!"

"Yes!"

Gao Xun hastily echoed: "I have sent so many items back and forth with my lord, but nothing has been achieved. Instead, I have been helping His Majesty with his affairs."

"But Prime Minister Qin only went to see His Majesty once, and he was able to make His Majesty obey him, and even correct the Zhu Zhu that was sent out. It's really brilliant!"

"It may not be what you think..."

Cai Jing was lost in thought: "Your Majesty is not stupid, how could he obey Qin Hui all of a sudden?"

"But the Ministry of Education said that after Prime Minister Qin entered the palace to meet His Majesty, he did change many of Zhu's criticisms!"

Gao Xun explained: "Looking at those memorials, I see that there are many changes in the direction that are beneficial to Qin Xiang."

He took another piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Cai Jing.

Cai Jing just scanned it roughly, then frowned deeply.

"What is Qin Hui doing now?"

"I heard people say that I went to Ziwei Hall to meet His Majesty with the memorial again." Gao Xun replied.

"again?"

A gleam flashed in Cai Jing's eyes, as if he had grasped the point.

"If Qin Hui can make His Majesty obey him, why bother to go to Ziwei Palace and ask His Majesty to revise the memorial?"

"Shouldn't it be enough to just ask Zhu Pi to write according to his wishes?"

Gao Xun was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Sir, what do you mean, Qin Hui used the opportunity of discussing the government affairs with His Majesty to eliminate dissidents and expand his influence?"

"good."

Cai Jing nodded with a sneer: "He has been eyeing the position of Longxi County Sheriff for a long time, and now that He Shen and Yan Song are not in the capital, he just took advantage of this opportunity to start acting."

"If His Majesty hadn't suddenly started approving memorials, he wouldn't have had such trouble at all!"

Gao Xun nodded heavily, but then came back to his senses: "Even if Song Min is dismissed, how can Prime Minister Qin push his people to the position of Longxi County Sheriff?"

"He and your lord are not in the capital, Shang Shuxing is your lord's final say."

"The old man is also very curious..."

Cai Jing narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "But no matter what, his tricks must have something to do with His Majesty."

If Qin Hui wanted to win, he had to gain an advantage.

But with his own strength, it is difficult to reach into the Shangshu province, so he can only rely on external force.

Now, the external force that Qin Hui can rely on is not His Majesty the Emperor?
"My lord, as a servant of Shangshu, you can also discuss memorials."

Gao Xun got up and suggested: "You can't let Prime Minister Qin take advantage of His Majesty alone!"

Cai Jing was also moved. Since His Majesty the Emperor can be influenced by Qin Hui, then he should be able to too.

Just when he was about to get up, Cai Jing's movements suddenly froze again.

"You let people go and stare at the Ziwei Hall, and the old man will go there after Qin Hui leaves."

Although Gao Xun didn't quite understand his reason for doing this, he still agreed: "Yes, my lord."

……

In Ziwei Hall, Li Gan is taking notes on Qin Hui's suggestion for the memorial.

"Your Majesty, Wei Bochu is a dissolute man, and his work is crude and useless. Xinfeng County is adjacent to the capital, and its location is critical. The county magistrate needs to choose a seasoned and prudent person. I think it is better to ask the Ministry of Officials to discuss the candidate again."

"Um……"

Li Gan nodded and wrote it down on the paper.

Qin Hui also reported: "Your Majesty, the magistrate of a county has a great relationship with the main hall. Before that, the Department of Literary Selection of the Ministry of Officials ruled that the selection should be reviewed by the servants before he could take office."

"Now the Ministry of Officials, Your Excellency, and the Provincial Prime Minister are all responsible for disaster relief by the emperor's order. The two departments have heavy responsibilities, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence and mistakes."

"It would be better if the You Sanqi Changshi temporarily receives the third review to reduce omissions. In this way, there will be an additional verification process, and the officials will be more secure."

You Sanqi's regular attendant, the third grade, is the official position of Zhongshu Province. He is in charge of regulating and admonishing mistakes, and serves as an advisor to the emperor.

Now that Li Gan is like this, this official position has no real power, it is only equivalent to an idle official on a salary.

Now that the officials and subordinates are empty of power, Qin Hui wanted to reach in, so he used this idle official as a springboard.

"Well... what Qin Xiang said makes sense."

Li Gan didn't tell the truth, just nodded and wrote it down on the paper: "I will consider it."

Qin Hui watched Li Gan's movements, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes.

It would be best if His Majesty the Emperor corrected Zhu on the spot.

Yesterday, after Li Gan finished revising the Zhu batch, he sent the first batch of memorials back to Qin Hui.

When Qin Hui saw Zizi last night, he wrote the prime minister's green approval and sent it to Menxia province.

During the review, he found that there were still some Zhu Zhu's comments that had not been revised according to his statement.

However, Qin Hui didn't make more twists and turns, but directly obeyed Zhu's opinion and wrote his prime minister's green approval.

Qin Hui understands that this is because His Majesty has not fully trusted him and still has his own judgment.

But that's enough for now.

Because more than half of the memorials revised by His Majesty listened to his opinion, this proportion is already very large!
Qin Hui didn't want to make the emperor obey him completely. The emperor was very smart, and this kind of thinking was unrealistic.

What he wants is the initial trust of His Majesty the Emperor.

With trust, you can guide and handle things easily...

Qin Hui talked for a long time, and when Li Gan was supposed to take a nap in the afternoon, the memorial was almost finished.

He took out the bottom few memorials and reported them to Li Gan one by one.

"Your Majesty, and here, I don't quite understand His Majesty's profound thoughts..."

Li Gan listened to it one by one, but didn't feel any major problems.

Last time, Qin Hui took advantage of his drowsiness to stuff it with private goods!

Why is it gone this time?

"Your Majesty, today's memorial has been finished, please allow your Majesty to leave." Qin Hui stood up and cupped his hands.

Li Qian glanced at him with a smile: "President Qin, go slowly, I won't see you off."

After Qin Hui left, Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi also came out from the side.

"Two concubines, let me take a look at the rest of the memorial." Li Gan wanted to check whether Qin Hui had mixed private goods in it again.

These four memorials said different things, some were impeachment, some were memorials, and there was another memorial about trivial matters. Li Qian reviewed and read it, but Qin Hui said that local officials should investigate carefully before reporting follow-up.

"Your Majesty, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it?"

Wu Meiniang's phoenix eyebrows frowned slightly: "This memorial impeaches Jing Zhaoyi's ineffectiveness in the trial. His Majesty said to investigate again, but Qin Xiang thinks that this matter should be ignored. Is this Jing Zhaoyi and Qin Xiang..."

"I'm afraid there is really no need to investigate further."

Lu Zhi looked at Li Qian and said softly, "Didn't your majesty say that? In just a few days, this is the third memorial to impeach Jing Zhaoyi. This position should be very offensive."

"But I've never seen Jing Zhaoyi defend himself before."

Wu Meiniang frowned: "I didn't react to the bullets at all, this Jing Zhaoyi Wang Jin is too arrogant."

"If everyone is like him, what is the prestige of the court?"

Li Gan flipped through the other memorials, turned his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the last few, let's see if there is anything wrong with the other memorials."

A smart person like Qin Hui really didn't use the same trick a second time.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two women responded one after another.

Li Qian moved all the memorials to his side, and then began to revise his Zhu Zhu with the two.

It was also at this time that Cai Jing got the news from the mansion and slowly left the house in a sedan chair.

On the north side of Cai Jing's mansion is a mansion with four entrances. Compared with the grandeur and grandeur of the former, this small courtyard with blue bricks and black tiles looks disgraced.

It's just that when passing by here, Cai Jing's bearers all speeded up their pace silently, for fear that if they stayed for a while longer, they would arouse the displeasure of their master.

All the way to the imperial city, Cai Jing began to wait after handing over the request for a visit outside the Ziwei Hall.

In the hall, Li Gan looked at the old eunuch who came in to report, and was a little surprised for a while: "Who are you talking about? Cai Jing??"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is Lord Cai." The old eunuch replied with certainty.

"This is a rare visitor..."

Li Gan put down the memorial in his hand, and was amazed.

Did you stab the traitor's nest today?
It wasn't long after Qin Hui left, and now Cai Jing came.

"You announce him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch went out in response, Lu Zhi and Wu Meiniang retreated to the side, Cai Jing came in after a while.

"Chen Cai Jing, see Your Majesty."

Cai Jing had already changed into a crimson official robe, and bowed to Li Gan.

"Come down quickly, Cai Qing's family."

Li Gan looked at him with a smile. Among the four civil officials, Li Gan felt that Cai Jing was the most difficult one to deal with.

The other three more or less have the tendency to use the power of the emperor to strengthen themselves.

And borrowing power is mutual, as long as they borrow Li Gan's power, Li Gan can use them to make his throne more stable.

However, Cai Jing is different.

For so many days, he has never come to touch Li Qian's performance.

"Your Majesty, the old minister came to see His Majesty today because there is a memorial to inquire."

Cai Jing took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

You also came for the memorial?
Li Gan became interested: "Bring it up."

The old eunuch took the memorial from Cai Jing and passed it to Li Gan.

Li Gan opened it and took a look, okay, old acquaintance!
This is the "Fire Dragon Burning Cang" memorial written by Song Min, governor of Longxi County.

"Does Cai Qing's family think there is something wrong with this memorial?" Li Gan seemed to have noticed something.

"Go back to Your Majesty."

Cai Jing said slowly: "I just happened to know something about the Changping warehouse in Longxi County. If you don't report what you know, you will be in debt to the king, so I will explain it to Your Majesty today."

"A few days ago, when I was shopping in the West Market, I heard news from some merchants from the Western Regions. At this time, it is midsummer, and the sky is dry. In recent days, Longxi County has suspected that it has violated the throne of Zhu Rong, and the matter of running out of water One after another, the county government offices in Weiyuan County were almost destroyed by fire. Therefore, it is not surprising that those Changping warehouses were burned and placed among them."

Cai Jing said in a deep voice: "The old minister also knows that Song Min has served as the governor of Longxi County for these years. Although he has not made great achievements, he has managed the affairs of Longxi in an orderly manner."

"Your Majesty and all the ministers in the court want to investigate. You can send an imperial envoy to Longxi to investigate carefully. If something strange is found, even if Song Min is dismissed on the spot and escorted back to Beijing, there will be no rumors."

"However, if it is only because of natural disasters that he is called back to the capital for interrogation rashly, it will be a trivial matter to hurt his heart alone. It will be a major matter to make many counties and counties in the world return to fear and fear and no longer dare to do anything."

Cai Jing persuaded with emotion: "Song Min is a good minister, and the old minister does not want to see him estranged from His Majesty, let alone see the magistrates of all counties and counties in the world shrinking back, so I have the courage to say this today, and please Your Majesty's holy lesson. "

What a loyal veteran!

If he didn't know Cai Jing's face, Li Gan might really believe it.

Alarmist talk is really good, and it still makes the county chiefs all over the world cringe?
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.Who cringes when they have nothing to do?

I think so, but Li Gan is still a showman, showing a very embarrassed look: "Cai Qing's family, is this really the case?"

"Veterans never dare to deceive the emperor!" Cai Jing bowed again loyally.

Li Ganwei nodded unchecked, it seems that Song Min is from Cai Jing.

This is very interesting.

Li Qian remembered very clearly that he didn't think of calling Song Min back at first, it was Qin Hui's idea!
Does Qin Hui want to mess with Song Min, or does he want to mess with Cai Jing? ?
Since it is the grievances between these two people, Li Gan feels that it is better for him not to get involved, and let you two slowly break it up!

Of course, if the dog really bites the dog, Li Qian will still control the intensity, so that the two of them can't break their arms and legs, otherwise it will be cheaper for the generals.

Balance is the essence.

"What Cai Qing's family said really makes sense."

Li Gan looked puzzled, as if he really believed Cai Jing's nonsense: "I actually think so too."

"Ah?" Cai Jing raised his head in surprise, as if he knew the news for the first time.

"I corrected it like this before, but after the memorial was sent to Zhongshu Province, it was returned by Prime Minister Qin, and I was asked to change the Zhu's approval. Song Min must be recalled to Beijing for interrogation."

Li Gan sighed: "I can't hold back him, so I can only follow his will."

"This……"

Cai Jing's old face was full of shock and anger: "Why is Prime Minister Qin so disqualified?"

"Correcting the memorial is His Majesty's right, and His Majesty Weifu should make it his own, and let him put his beak in it?"

"Yes!"

Li Gan slapped his thigh in agreement: "I think so too!"

"It's just that Qin Xiang said that if I don't change it, this memorial will definitely not pass the Ministry of Education. I have no choice but to change it."

Cai Jing opened his mouth, Qin Hui is so arrogant, you should slap him, why are you so useless? ?
It's just that it's not easy to say such words.

But Li Qian seemed to be getting excited: "Cai Qing's family, can you go and persuade Qin Xiang to change the memorial for me?"

Cai Jing is speechless, if I persuade him enough, why should I come to you?

Is there something wrong with me?

"As long as His Majesty makes an order forcefully, Prime Minister Qin will definitely not dare to disobey it."

Cai Jing kindly reminded: "At that time, I will unite with other courtiers to raise their arms, and we must get rid of this disaster for Your Majesty."

"This……"

Li Gan didn't expect that he didn't intend to give up yet, so he put on a naive expression: "Let's forget it."

"Qin Xiang is too fierce, I dare not provoke him."

Cai Jing was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood: "Your Majesty is a ruler, and Qin Hui is a subject, so why be afraid?"

"It seems to be the same... I am the emperor..." Li Qian seemed to realize something, and fell into a daze.

Cai Jing's eyes lit up, let's show some courage!Your Majesty the Emperor!

He just waited for Li Gan to make a decision, then immediately said his goodbyes, withdrew and returned to the mansion, and continued to watch the emperor and Qin Hui continue to toss.

Li Qian came back to his senses and stared directly at Cai Jing below: "I am the emperor!"

"Cai Qing's family, I order you to go to Prime Minister Qin and ask him to change the memorial!"

Two uncontrollable laughs faintly came from the side room, but they disappeared in a flash, as if it was an illusion.

When Cai Jing was about to leave, he was choked back, and he coughed while rubbing his chest, but he didn't hear the laughter.

"Cai Qing's family? Cai Qing's family? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing him pinching his neck, Li Qian was about to roll his eyes, and hurriedly asked Wei Zhongxian to help him calm down.

"His Majesty……"

Cai Jing, who gradually regained his composure, bowed his hands to Li Qian decisively: "Your Majesty, I have taken orders, and I will do it now."

"Cai Qing's house, go slowly."

Li Qian looked at his back expectantly: "I am waiting for your good news."

After he left the political affairs hall, Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi opened the door and came out from the side room.

"Why are the two concubines laughing?"

Li Gan heard those two flashes of laughter.

The faces of the two blushed, and they were both a little embarrassed. Lu Zhi squeezed together, lowered his head and whispered: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I was almost overheard by Mr. Cai."

Wu Meiniang also blushed and said, "It won't happen in the future, Your Majesty."

Li Gan shook his head slightly: "It's okay to be heard once or twice, the news that you two accompany me every day in Ziwei Hall must have spread."

"Just don't be heard too many times, let others associate."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two women responded in unison.

Then Wu Meiniang came forward and took the initiative to hold Li Qian's left arm: "The concubine laughed after hearing His Majesty's ingenious reaction."

Lu Zhi also came over to hold his right hand, shaking it lightly and said, "Cai Jing must have never expected that His Majesty would use him on him as soon as he said the righteousness of a monarch and his ministers."

"He must be very angry." Wu Meiniang still couldn't help laughing when she remembered that burst of coughing.

The corner of Li Gan's mouth also slightly curled up: "You didn't see it, he just rolled his eyes!"

The two girls laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten up.

After laughing, Li Gan also began to think about the matter just now.

"Cai Jing wants to instigate me and Qin Hui to fight against each other, and Qin Hui always wants to fool me, so I have to find something for the two of them to do..."

With today's incident alone, the two may not be able to tear it apart.

If he didn't tear it up, it would be difficult for Li Qian to fish in troubled waters, so he sent Gao Shilian to Longxi as the county guard.

In addition, these two people are also very dishonest. Li Qian wants to make them fight against each other, so don't keep focusing on him, the emperor.

But at the same time, it is also necessary to control the intensity of the two people's confrontation, not to be too much, which is a test of technology and micromanagement.

If you want to understand this kind of stumbling and shady things, it may be difficult to rely on Li Gan's upright thinking, but now he has two assistants!
Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi knew that Li Gan wanted to do something, so they all quieted down.

Li Gan waved his hand to the entrance of the Political Affairs Hall: "Big Companion!"

"The servant is here." The old eunuch ran over with small steps.

"Is there a list of Qin Hui's and Cai Jing's clansmen, in-laws, and friends in the palace?"

The old eunuch was startled, but then said: "There is no such detailed list, but the slaves can find someone to extract from the file."

"Just bring the file over here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch left in response, and took back two thick files in a short while.

"You also help me to go into details."

Li Gan opened the file and told Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi his thoughts.

"Let the two of them fight..." Wu Meiniang slightly widened her phoenix eyes.

"It can't cause too much conflict..." Lu Zhi also covered her mouth.

It's too difficult, isn't it?

How smart are Qin Hui and Cai Jing?

They are so powerful that they have subordinates and disciples all over the government and the public, and many officials are their eyes and ears.

How to instigate this?How could they be fooled?

Moreover, even if it is really provoked, how will it end?
Both of them have high positions and powers. Once they target each other, it is likely to cause huge turmoil in the officialdom.

At that time, if you want to accept it, it will be extremely difficult!
"Yes."

Li Gan said with a smile: "I already have a general idea, let me explain it to you two."

"Your Majesty already knows what to do?"

The two women exclaimed in surprise, looked at Li Qian in disbelief, and said in their hearts that as expected of His Majesty, he could even do such a harsh thing!

"It's just a general idea. I thought about how to provoke at the beginning, but I didn't think about how to end it."

Li Gan shook his head lightly: "I have to look at the relatives and friends of these two people to see if there is anyone who can be used. I need two concubines to help me improve it together."

To be able to participate in such a plan as His Majesty's!
The two women looked at each other at the same time, and they saw the excitement in each other's eyes... and the hidden desire to win.

"Your Majesty has an order, so I naturally dare not disobey."

Li Gan smiled, pulled a piece of plain bamboo paper from the table, dipped it in black ink, and wrote the word "fear within".

Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi looked over curiously.

Li Gan smiled and said: "Do the two concubines know? Qin Hui is a very guilty person."

"I'm going to start here and create conflicts between him and Cai Jing."

　Today is seven thousand, and I will continue to make up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will not drag this month's words to next month. Chapter 1 is always blocked, sorry, it should be unblocked tomorrow.
