Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

It wasn't that the master or His Highness was stingy. In terms of money, Chi Zhongjun completely refused their help.

When he came to the capital this time, he only brought 30 taels of silver with him.

Fortunately, he brought a lot, otherwise he would have had to sleep on the street that day instead of having a place to stay for two or three months.

As soon as Chi Zhongjun sat in the door, the woman who had been invited to cook hurriedly walked up to him and followed him and said: "Master, when you were not here this morning, several people came, saying they were here. It’s for you. I refused, but they just left the thing behind, right in that room..."

The woman who was cooking pointed with her hand and spoke very quickly, with an accent that he almost couldn't understand.

Seeing the aunt's trembling appearance for fear of getting into trouble, Chi Zhongjun waved his hand, smiled kindly, and comforted him and said, "It's okay, go and cook some food. I'm really hungry."

After the people left, his expression turned cold, and with a cold snort, he walked into the room pointed to by the aunt just now.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw several large boxes with letters written by him on them.

Chi Zhongjun picked up the paper, glanced at it quickly, and then gently put it back where it was.

These were merely sent by the officials who were now under his control.

Looking at the portion, it's a lot to give.Although to these Beijing officials, these are nothing.

But maybe in their eyes, Chi Zhongjun, a country bumpkin from this place, would be flattered and overjoyed, right?

Chi Zhongjun walked into the back room with a cold face, propped up the window in the room, and sat on the nice yellow pear wood chair.

This is not his first day in the capital.

This is not the first day he has seen these people worshiping others.

Overtly, everyone is a colleague who once served as an official, but who knows how they secretly eliminated him?

Chi Zhongjun was not stupid, of course he saw the clues.

And now, are these people sending this thing to show their kindness to him?

No, it was actually a demonstration against him.

It was like saying to him: Did you see that such good things with them can only be given away at will?

This is probably to intimidate him.

Chi Zhongjun sneered.Chi Zhongjun did not have a good impression of those colleagues who were cliquey, cliquey and mediocre.

This kind of person is better at internal fighting, right?

Today I will hit you a little, and tomorrow you will play me a little. It seems that this is the daily life of people like them, right?

As for being loyal to your Majesty, haha, it seems lucky that such a person no longer causes trouble secretly, right?

Nowadays, he is becoming more and more trouble-free and comfortable with burying and eliminating his colleagues.

He knocked on the dark red paint surface of the box, and the box made a deep sound.

It seemed that the weight was indeed quite large. Chi Zhongjun took back his hand. He had no intention of disposing of these boxes.

Judging from the weight, this gave him a lot of 'oil and water', at least the weight was unclear.

These people are really brave to bribe a newly appointed third-rank official of the imperial court like this.Aren't you afraid that he will report this matter to His Majesty overnight?

According to His Majesty's upright character, he had to order Dali Temple to conduct an investigation. At least for that group of people, demotion and resignation were just a matter of hands.

But even with such a risk, he still dared to place these boxes in front of him——Chi Zhongjun slightly narrowed his narrow eyes, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"It seems that those idiots are not the only ones who want to win me over...Who gave them the courage behind this?"

His voice was faint, as if he was talking to himself, or questioning someone in the void.

"It's getting more and more interesting~"

In a daze, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a dangerous smile.

……

Princess Jing'an will celebrate her second birthday soon.

As His Majesty's only heir, this princess is favored by His Majesty and highly valued by both the government and the public.

This birthday banquet was extremely luxurious, which is quite criticized nowadays.

In these years, border battles have been fought every year, and even though all the taxes paid by the court every year have flowed into the national treasury, the problem of domestic financial constraints has not been improved.

And now at this time, His Majesty is holding a grand banquet for his young daughter, which has caused a lot of discussion about this matter both inside and outside the court.

Among them, the most mentioned one is the official who hosted the banquet this time - Mr. Chi, the Minister of Etiquette of the Third Grade.

In the eyes of others, this gentleman is simply His Majesty's lackey.

Since taking the lead in the imperial examination fraud case, he has been put into great use by His Majesty.After that, Mr. Chi was completely favored by His Majesty. Even the adults of the Hanlin Academy who once served His Majesty in the East Palace and followed His Majesty for many years could not compare with him.

As for His Majesty, he not only favored him more, but also gave him many rights.

The Red Guard also fell into the hands of Master Chi from the once controversial eunuch Chong'an.

It is said that the Red Guards also asked His Majesty the reason, but His Majesty trusted this person. For this reason, the Red Guards made all the important ministers in the court tremble with fear, for fear that they would have something to fall into their hands. This is an organization directly under His Majesty. , and fell into the hands of Chi Zhongjun.

For him, this was an unexpected surprise.

He didn't care why His Majesty gave the Red Guard to him. The Red Guard was well-known, but now it happened to be a knife in his hand.

A knife pointed at those mediocre courtiers.

Chi Zhongjun smiled.

I tried every possible means to win over him, but in the end it all came to nothing.Doesn't this feel good?

He was just waiting for this group of people to be angry, waiting for this group of people to get angry.

In this way, he can legitimately eradicate this group of mediocre people in broad daylight. This group of people who receive salary from the court every day and only know how to fight and frame their colleagues, but do not do any truth at all. .

They deserved to die, just like the beasts that pretended to be powerful all day long and finally fell into the trap set by the hunters in the mountains.

Chi Zhongjun became completely famous.

This time he is not only His Majesty's favorite, but also a treacherous minister among some people.

Some people say that he is Wang Su of the previous dynasty, who ignored ethics and acted wantonly.

Some people also say that he is like An Lushan of the Tang Emperor at the same time, secretly harboring evil intentions and intending to overthrow the country of Daxia.

He said everything, but this time, Jiang Yi looked exactly like Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty.

No matter how many people came to remonstrate, no matter how conclusive what they said, Jiang Yi didn't believe it at all.

He also denounced everyone at a court meeting, just because they collectively signed a petition asking Jiang Yi to demote Chi Zhongjun and put him in prison.

This incident caused a great uproar at that time, and the city was full of uproar.

Even Jiang Sile, who was living in seclusion in Mount Tai, had heard about it and sent a letter to them to ask for the reason.

But Jiang Yi and Chi Zhongjun were vague in their letters.

One of them didn't want their sister to worry; the other didn't want His Highness to worry about it.

The two words corroborated each other, which made Jiang Sile feel more at ease.There are all the guards around her, most of whom are Qingyi people.

Jiang Sile also specially found two people and asked them to go to the capital to protect the safety of the little Taoist priests.

She had seen the people in the capital openly and secretly fighting against each other.

How did Wang Su die?

How did her second sister Jiang Yuan'er die?

Jiang Sile knew this well.

In the capital, the imperial power is greater than the king's law. If someone in a high position really wants to attack the little Taoist priest, the best way is actually the simplest way - to get rid of him.

Chi Zhongjun went to the capital alone, with no guards or little protection around him.

Even if Jiang Yi favors him, once he leaves the palace, the little Taoist priest is still in danger.

This was also the reason why she specially sent a guard for the little Taoist priest.

The rest of the guards can be recruited in the capital, but he must have trustworthy people around him.

This was the last thing Jiang Sile could do for him.

Jiang Sile could really feel relieved after the little Taoist wrote a letter saying that he had received the two guards sent.

In this way, time passed bit by bit.

Although there are still disputes at the border, they are mostly minor.

General Luan wrote a letter containing his observations of the Qingyi people.It seemed that after Qing Yi failed once, he gave up the idea of ​​fighting fiercely.

Although I don’t know why the Qingyi people’s style changed so quickly, it is true that the crisis on the border has come to light.

青夷
This question is actually easy to answer. As long as the answer is Wumu, he can even give the old general ten reasons.But I am afraid that General Luan will not believe what this Qingyi man says.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Qingyi's current internal affairs are also at a critical juncture, and they have not yet been able to spare most of their domestic energy and continue to compete with Daxia for that small area.

Just a month ago, Qingyi Zuoxian Wang Wu Quji took the lead, and the new political official Lu Qing assisted, launched a reform in Qingyi's court.

This matter has a profound impact on Qingyi, and now it has reached the point where it has to be done.

Just as Qingyi has always had an advantage in the military, in civil affairs and court, it has always been the single voice of successive chanyus.

This thing is indeed good.

Otherwise, it cannot be just a matter of Wu Mu's words, and this reform started with very little opposition.

In Qingyi, no one would or dared to go against Shan Yu's opinions.

In terms of majesty, Wumu's father, the former old man Yu Wuxian, had already reached the pinnacle of Qingyi's prestige.

As long as you are on the grassland, no one will fear Wu Xian's name and no one will surrender.

This also brought Chanyu's prestige to its highest peak in Qingyi and the entire grassland.

It was with the help of the deterrence left by his father that Wu Mu finally made up his mind.

Change must be made, and the sooner the better.

The main force behind this reform was Lu Qing, the counselor Wu Mu obtained from Daxia and Qingyi's new political official.

But in name, it is true that Zuoxian Wang Wu Quji is still the main one.

The reason for this arrangement is not only to suppress the Qingyi people's hatred towards the Daxia people, especially Lu Qing, but more importantly, Lu Qing's current prestige in Qingyi is not enough to complete this reform.

And Wumu wanted to keep this hard-won counselor.

This reform started from three aspects at the same time.

The first is to recruit talents and improve language and writing.

Although Qingyi has its own independent language, there are very few speakers of this language.Generally, only nobles learn Qingyi language and literacy from an early age.

In a barbaric land like Qingyi, as long as you can read, you can basically become an official.

But in fact, people are generally not interested in writing and learning.

Wumu guessed that this was mainly related to the annual expeditions on the grassland.

It is expected that learning writing is not as good as relying on one's own good skills to kill enemies and make meritorious service in the army.

And the prairie men are so brave, even the Wumu brothers are experts in the battlefield.

Young people are also more willing to join the army and fight the enemy than to stay behind.This will be regarded as a weakling and humiliated and insulted.

This situation is not only common in Qingyi, but also in the entire grassland.

The Qingyi people are a horse tribe.

Children have been riding horses since they were young. In childhood games, they often acted as warriors on the battlefield.The martial spirit is evident.

When Wu Mu thought of this, he sighed.

He thought again of his teacher, King You Xian Unandun, who had been buried with his father.

Wu Nandun is the most important person in Qingyi in the past 30 years. He led the Qingyi people to adapt to life on the grassland, and at the same time stabilized the Qingyi people's life and production model.

It was also him who improved Qingyi's court and even the entire royal court.

Let a group of civil servants appear in the Qingyi court today.Even though there are only a few, and most of them are minor officials who record documents, this is a complete change in the king's tent that used to be filled with military commanders.

It's not without its ups and downs, and it's not like no one chooses to resist.

In fact, there are, and there are many people.It even includes Wu Mu's biological uncle, Wu Xian's biological brother, uncle and concubine.

But these people finally understood one thing, that is, Shan Yu's will cannot be changed.

Some of these people are dead and some are still alive.

But without exception, everyone's admiration and fear of Chanyu deepened again.

But this time, my father did not choose to retreat, but stood firmly by the teacher's side.

This is what Umu saw when he was a child.

He has always wanted to be the leader of this country, the fearsome Chanyu, just like his father.

But in fact, what he wants more is to be able to follow his will like the teacher, and just like the teacher assists his father, there is someone who can assist him.

At that time, the teacher had assigned them a question. Should they change Qingyi's original language and popularize a simpler and more commonly used language?
Umu used to be a staunch opposition.

Although he doesn't like Qingyi language, he also feels that it is too slangy and a bit vulgar when using it.

But after all, that is the language he has spoken since he was a child.

If something that already exists is discarded, Wumu cannot accept the result.

Whenever this happens, his younger brother Wu Qi is a complete traitor.
