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

Chapter 210 Cai Jing was locked in the Tribute Court!Word spreads!

Cai Jing seemed to have expected this. A slight smile flashed across his face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is a joint decision made by the minister and the adults in the Six Departments. Perhaps this is the best result."

"In my opinion, it's still not enough." Li Qian still insisted on his own opinion.

Cai Jing sighed softly, and said helplessly, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Li Gan just stared at him like this, and said bluntly: "I think Yan Lide, Minister of Industry, and Lu Yin, Minister of War, can both serve as deputy examiners."

Cai Jing raised his head in surprise, and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor, wondering why His Majesty suddenly became enlightened at the last moment.

If this means of differentiation were used earlier.It might still work, but it's too late now.

"Your Majesty, presumably the other adults in the sixth department will not agree."

Cai Jing shook his head and said: "This result was discussed by the adults for several months. If you change it rashly, I'm afraid there will be a longer delay."

"Now that the exam is just around the corner, and it's time to announce the candidate for the examiner, if you delay it any longer, it will be bad if you miss the exam."

Li Gan stared at Cai Jing with a somewhat unfriendly expression, as if he was going to die: "Even if it will be postponed, we have to discuss the candidate for the deputy examiner again."

"Your Majesty, there must be a reason for further discussion, right? What is wrong with Han Mulu, the right servant of the household department? How should I announce it to the people?"

Li Gan didn't speak, but secretly clenched his fists, because he knew that he couldn't come up with any obvious and suitable reasons to announce it to the public.

The corner of Cai Jing's mouth twitched into a subtle smile, and continued: "Your Majesty, if the examination is postponed or even canceled, it may also affect your majesty's holy name among the court and the people."

"Those juren who have been preparing for several years may not let it go, and may even make trouble in the imperial city. At that time, it will not end."

Li Gan's expression froze, and he understood what Cai Jing said.

As long as this stalemate persists, Cai Jing and others may postpone the examination and put all the charges on him, the emperor, and they may even encourage people to come to the imperial city to make trouble.

If things really get serious and can't be ended, in the end it's me who will be ashamed.

Li Gan clenched his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart, and just looked at Cai Jing like this.

The window of the study room was blown open suddenly, and the cold wind howled in.

The old eunuch didn't care to glare at Cai Jing anymore, and hurried over to close the window.

Wang Mang stood behind Cai Jing, looking at his nose and heart, pretending he couldn't hear anything.

Cai Jing didn't seem to feel anything, or he didn't care. He just looked at Li Gan with a smile on his fat old face.

Li Gan took a deep breath and looked at Wang Mang behind him: "Wang Zongbo, what do you think?"

Wang Mang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Your Majesty, I also feel that this matter should be based on the thoughts of Lord Cai and Liubu."

Li Qian's face became more and more ugly, and he looked at the two people below with cold eyes.

The smile on Cai Jing's face was even bigger. If you look carefully, the smile is more like a mockery or a sneer. He slowly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I also very much agree with your majesty's thoughts, but the six parts are not what I said by myself. Calculate."

"All opinions must not be disobeyed, and public anger must not be offended. Please, Your Majesty, take the overall situation of the test as the most important thing, and don't act on your will."

Li Gan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and remained silent, without opening his mouth.

Cai Jinghun didn't care, just stood here like this.

It seemed to him that no matter how Li Qian reacted, he didn't care, it was all good for him.

Wang Mang was not as casual as Cai Jing, his face was full of seriousness.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Gan opened his eyes, with a dark face, and looked coldly at Cai Jing and Wang Mang in front of him: "Master Cai is clever, and Wang Zongbo is flexible and stable, both are officials of the court..."

"If that's the case, let's go with the candidate you have decided."

Although he spoke lightly, everyone present could hear the suppressed anger and unwillingness in his words.

Cai Jing paused slightly, then took back the document just now from the old eunuch, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Mang on the side also heaved a sigh of relief.

It's just that when the two raised their heads again, they found that His Majesty the Emperor had already stood up and strode away...

Cai Jing and Wang Mang brought the news of their complete victory back to the sixth part of Shangshu, and Han Mulu, who got the position of deputy examiner of the examination, was very pleasantly surprised.

But the joys and sorrows of the world are not connected, the other servants only think he is noisy.

The servants like Yan Lide and Lu Yin, who had longed for it but had no results, were even more disappointed. There were even a few servants who had heard the news in advance, showing deep suspicion in their eyes.

"It's not really scheduled in advance, is it?"

"It's not necessarily true. This time Han Shilang took out real money, and we all saw it."

"He and Cai Jing are a family, and in the end we still don't know how to divide the bill..."

There was a burst of whispering in the crowd, which attracted several servants who didn't know the rumors.

Cai Jinggang handed the document to the clerk of the Ministry of Rites with a smile, and when he turned around, he saw such a scene.

It's just that when the servants saw him coming back, they immediately stopped talking and changed the subject with a smile.

Cai Jing frowned slightly, this is not a good sign.

But before he could say anything, many servants left in twos and threes, and went back to their respective yamen.

Cai Jing didn't leave these irrelevant people behind, but turned his head to look at the few servants left behind on the other side.

"What did they say just now?"

Song Qiaonian, Han Mulu and the others looked at each other. After a moment of silence, Gao Xun said, "They avoid us when they talk..."

Cai Jing nodded thoughtfully, then turned and left.

Song Qiaonian was taken aback: "Lord Cai, is the celebration banquet canceled?"

"No need, Lu Cai packed up his things and go to the Gongyuan with me." Cai Jing's voice came back from outside the door, causing everyone in the room to look at each other in dismay.

According to Cai Jing's arrangement, there should have been a celebration banquet for the servants today.

After all, with the power of Shangshu province and one province to fight against Zhongshu, the two provinces under the door, and His Majesty the emperor at the same time, how can we not celebrate when we won the victory?

Just seeing the attitude of these servants, Cai Jing was not in the mood to celebrate any more, and even the joy of surpassing His Majesty the Emperor was dissipated a lot.

His intuition told Cai Jing that he seemed to have overlooked something.

But no matter what was overlooked, it can't be controlled now.

According to the court's law, when the examiners are announced, all the chief and deputy examiners and fellow examiners will be locked into the Tribute Court until the end of the examination, and they will no longer be able to contact outsiders...

The examination examiner can't hide such a big news from anyone.

When Cai Jing just returned to the yamen, all kinds of news spread, and now no matter whether it is the inner court or the outer court, everyone knows the outcome of the matter.

Deputy examiner of the examination, Han Mulu.

Now, everyone understands what it means.

The deputy examiner is not only a member of the sixth department, but also the in-laws of Mr. Cai. It goes without saying who wins and who loses.

Many people looked towards the direction of Miyagi, as if they could see His Majesty the Emperor in it from such a distance.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the turmoil that lasted for several months was finally over, while others hoped that this kind of thing would happen more times. It would be better for His Majesty the Emperor to be like the late Emperor. This court cannot stand it. He is so tossed...

Zhongshu Province, Wenyuan Pavilion.

Both Wang Ciweng and Wan Qixie came to Qin Hui's duty room, the former was expressionless, and the latter was full of disappointment.

"My lord, do you think His Majesty is really willing to admit defeat?"

Wan Qixi was still a bit unwilling: "With His Majesty's temper, how could it be possible to let that old man Cai Jing ride on his head like this?"

Qin Hui glanced at him coldly: "Even if His Majesty is still unwilling, as long as the candidates for the imperial court's examiners are announced, there will be no reason to change them."

Once the list is announced, it will be finalized.

As long as the people above didn't die suddenly, not to mention His Majesty the Emperor, even the Heavenly King and I couldn't change it.

Wan Qixi let out a long sigh, and there was silence in the duty room.

After a while, Wang Ciweng frowned and said, "President Qin, I have heard rumors from the Sixth Department in the past few days, saying that the position of the deputy examiner has long been determined to be Han Mulu."

"Internal decision?"

Wan Qixi's voice suddenly became louder several times, and he stared at Wang Ciweng with wide eyes: "Is it true??"

Qin Hui frowned slightly, and also looked at Wang Ciweng: "Where did you hear that?"

"Several servants in the sixth department said so."

Wang Ciweng thought for a moment before saying: "It is said that Guan Peng from the Ministry of Household said it at first, and later someone heard about it from Su Ling'a from the Ministry of Industry..."

Wan Chengxi's breathing gradually became quicker, and he leaned over: "Then, aren't we working all these days in vain?"

Not only is it a waste of work, it is simply letting others play monkeys.

"Who did it? Couldn't it be Cai Jing?"

Wang Ciweng rolled his eyes at him, as if wondering why he would ask such a question.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Cai Jing?Who else can do this besides him?Moreover, Han Mulu is Cai Jing's brother-in-law, they are relatives, and others will help Cai Jing to do charity.

Wan Qixi was dumbfounded: "This... this old thing..."

Wang Ciweng did not yell, but said with emotion: "Not only gathered the six departments, expanded the power, but also suppressed our Zhongshu and the two provinces under the sect, defeated the majesty of the emperor, and finally sent Han Mulu to the imperial examination. For the position of deputy examiner, Mr. Cai is really skilled..."

It's not just high, it's killing many birds with one stone, it's a big win!

However, Qin Hui seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly raised his head to look at him: "You said that the servants of the Six Departments know about it?"

"This……"

Wang Ciweng hesitated for a moment: "Not everyone knows, but if Su Ling'a knows, at least half of the people will know."

Wan Qixi muttered softly: "Who doesn't know that Su Ling has a big mouth..."

"I know everything..."

Qin Hui's eyes flickered, and he looked thoughtfully towards the direction of the imperial city to the south.

If this is the case, then Cai Jing may not win so freely...
