Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 89 Conspiracy

Pei Xiu shook her head, dispelled the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and continued, "She will threaten the truth with the matter of Chen Shilang from the beginning, so that the truth will not act rashly, let alone think about dealing with Huang Shangshu! But now, Both Truth and Your Majesty will suffer, and no one will benefit."

Pei Xiu frowned, with a dazed look on her face, "Could it be that, as she said, she did all this to confuse the truth?"

"Perhaps, His Majesty knows about Chen Shilang's crimes, but he doesn't intend to attack them now. After all, the year is approaching and the court affairs are cumbersome. Perhaps, His Majesty wants to wait until the next year, when the bureaucracy is stabilized, before clearing Chen Shilang and installing his own people." , but I didn’t expect Master Xiang to suddenly attack Huang Shangshu, Lord Qi had no choice but to drag Chen Shilang into the water, for His Majesty, it’s better to hurt both of them than to hurt only one of them.”

Hearing what Pei Zhong said, Pei Xiu pondered for a while, "What you said makes sense."

"Master Xiang, what should we do now? Do you want to protect Chen Shilang?"

Pei Xiu snorted coldly, "Protect him? How? Can you still protect him?"

"Didn't Mr. Qi say that the families of the victims are being escorted into Beijing, why don't we send people to—"

Pei Zhong made a gesture of wiping his neck, "Without the witness, and the Prime Minister operating secretly, Chen Shilang might be able to escape."

Pei Xiu's expression turned cold, and his tone was extremely sharp, "Don't even think about it! Your Majesty wants us to take action so as to catch the truth! Since old fox Qi dares to say in public that he sent people to escort those people to Beijing, he is not afraid that the truth will send people to intercept him." , if the truth really sent someone there, it would have fallen into His Majesty's plan!"

"Then what should we do now? Really give up Chen Shilang?"

"I can only give him up! The Ministry of Criminal Justice has intervened, and he can't escape. The truth is that he can't be kept, but to keep him, he has to sacrifice too much. No pity!"

Speaking of Chen Shilang, Pei Xiu hated him so much that he got into trouble before he started using him, what a bad luck!
"What about the officials?"

"Reelection. There were originally two servants in the Ministry of Officials. After Huang Shilang was promoted to the post of Shangshu, the vacancy of Ministers he vacated has not been filled. Now both he and Shilang Chen have accidents, which is equivalent to the three servants of the Ministry of Officials. The top officials are gone, and they must be transferred from other departments, or promoted from among the four third-rank ministers below. It is easy to say from the third-rank to the second-rank minister, but it is only the first-rank minister, and it must be true people."

Pei Zhong thought for a while and asked, "What does Xiangye want to do?"

"The functions of the six ministries are different. It is not convenient to select and transfer from other departments. It is better to select people from the Ministry of Officials."

"Who does Xiangye want to choose?"

Pei Xiu murmured, "Among the four third-rank Langs, one has to be selected who has a handle and is easy to handle, but the handle can't be like Chen Shilang, who is capable, but not too strong, otherwise he will be arrogant and not too young. Young and energetic, don't be too old, old people are timid and procrastinate in doing things."

"Master Xiang, don't worry, this old slave will find out the details of the four of them."

Pei Xiu gave a low 'hmm' and gestured for Pei Zhong to go to work.

At the same time, the palace was also discussing the affairs of the Ministry of Officials.

Lord Qi and Shen Wenqing are both in the queen's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Song was too impulsive in the court today. He didn't show any affection at all, and just fought hard with Prime Minister Pei like that. It would be bad if Prime Minister Pei found out that he belonged to His Majesty."

Lord Qi frowned and said, Feng Jin smiled slightly, "If he doesn't take it hard, he will be in trouble."

Seeing that Lord Qi and Shen Wenqing were both puzzled, Feng Jin smiled and explained, "The king of Song Yan is the king of Song Yan, if you don't take it hard, you will either change your person or have a ghost in your heart, which arouses Pei Xiu's suspicion."

"But if he keeps being so stubborn, in case he angers Prime Minister Pei in the future..."

Master Qi said worriedly, and Feng Jin smiled slightly, "If you get angry, get angry, what can Pei Xiu do? If he could do something to Song Ming, he would have done it long ago, and there is no need to wait until now? Pei Xiu is not stupid, Song Mingtie If he dares to kill Song Ming, he will not only anger civil and military officials, but also ordinary people. Besides, Song Ming has been stubborn for so many years. If he suddenly stops being stubborn, it will be even more suspicious .”

"Your Majesty's words are justified, but the old minister's view of the problem is too one-sided."

"You and Song Ming have different ways of dealing with things, but in the same way, you are both good at preserving yourselves. You are smooth, so that your opponent can't find a point to attack you, while Song Ming is a hard thorn, so that your opponent can't attack you." If you dare to strike, you will be hurt. You, don't worry about him, you should worry about Qi Che."

Feng Jin smiled and said, "How is he doing recently?"

"Thanks to His Majesty's care, Che'er has become much more obedient and calm."

"You are full of thorns, young and energetic, and impatient. If you don't go to the barracks to grind yourself, how can you become a great weapon in the future? Do you really want the Qi family to be pressured by Qi Xun in the future?"

Master Qi smiled a little embarrassedly, "He is a little grandson, he doesn't have to support the family like the eldest grandson, and he was raised by Jiane since he was a child, and Jiane loves him a lot, that's why he developed such a lawless temperament."

"If he can become a weapon, wouldn't it be better to have support with Brother Qi Xun in the future?"

"Your Majesty's words are true. The old minister also knew that he wanted to sharpen Che'er's temper and make him suffer a little bit, but every time he didn't do anything, the scumbag would quarrel with the old minister and hang himself every time. The old minister is really..."

Seeing the embarrassment and embarrassment on his old face, Feng Jin wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, so he could only hold back, the green clothes who were waiting on the side couldn't hold back, giggling non-stop, Master Qi was even more uncomfortable up.

Feng Jin gave Lvyi a stern look, and then she desperately stopped laughing.

"Then how did you get Madam to agree this time?"

Master Qi's face became even more embarrassed, and under Feng Jin's gaze, he said embarrassingly, "The old minister carried His Majesty out, saying that if Che'er doesn't go to the barracks to be punished, His Majesty will help Tang Qinghe vent his anger and lock Che'er up." Go to jail."

The more Master Qi spoke, the lower his head lowered.

Feng Jin was angry and funny, "Forget it, for the sake of your Qi family, it's okay for me to be a villain once, but there is one thing I want to tell you first, Qi Che will become a weapon in the future, he must do things for me, for me Guarding this country, the people of this world, can't be lazy!"

Lord Qi was overjoyed, kneeled on the ground with a 'plop', prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love, old minister!"

To be able to leave a name with His Majesty, Che'er's future is immeasurable.

At the beginning Qi Che almost beat Tang Qinghe, and Tang Qinghe went to the palace to file a complaint. He knew that His Majesty was only using the Tang family and would not make Tang Qinghe the emperor's husband, but in order to prevent His Majesty's plan from being seen, he went to the palace overnight to defend Che. At that time, His Majesty confessed to him that he wanted to throw Che'er to the barracks to be polished, and he agreed at that time, and went home and used His Majesty's excuse to comfort his noisy wife.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the reason His Majesty put in so much effort to train Che'er was because he wanted to use him again in the future.

"Get up, I really like Qi Che's temperament. He is sincere and straightforward, not hypocritical or pretentious. It's just that he is too impulsive and his eyesight is not enough. He is not suitable for the court. He needs to practice for a few years first. I only hope that Qi Aiqing Don't feel sorry for your grandson."

Shen Wenqing helped Lord Qi up, and the two sat down again. Lord Qi asked, "Your Majesty, what are your plans regarding the affairs of the Ministry of Officials?"

"My plan is to see what Pei Xiu has planned."

Lord Qi couldn't react for a while to the endless words. Shen Wenqing understood, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty wants to adapt to the situation, but everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. No matter what Pei Xiang does, we will There is a corresponding method."

Master Qi sighed, "It's a pity, it was so hard to help Huang Shangshu up, but he didn't serve as Shangshu for a few days before he was brought down by Prime Minister Pei."

Feng Jin smiled without saying a word, and Shen Wenqing also smiled slightly.

Seeing their expressions, Lord Qi's eyes flickered, "Could it be that there are some secrets in this that the veterans don't know?"

"Actually, Huang Shangshu is not His Majesty's man."

Shen Wenqing said, Master Qi frowned, "Isn't he? Then why did Your Majesty help him up?"

"Helping him up is just to attract Prime Minister Pei's attention, so that the people His Majesty has really placed in the official department will have a chance to stand out."

Lord Qi widened his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then slowly opened his mouth, "Your Majesty told the old minister Chen Shilang's crimes at the beginning, and told the old minister to wait for the time to reveal it. This morning, when the old minister saw that Prime Minister Pei had put Huang Shangshu down, he was worried about him. He helped Chen Shilang up, and the official department returned to his hands, thinking that he would not do anything, and bring Chen Shilang down, and caught Pei Xiang by surprise, so he exposed Chen Shilang's crimes."

"Your timing is just right, exactly the timing I want."

Lord Qi was still a little puzzled, "Then why didn't His Majesty tell the old minister directly?"

"Because you are old fox Qi! You are the most cunning and cunning, I don't need to be too thorough, you can seize the opportunity yourself!"

There was another reason, Feng Jin would not say it, she also wanted to see Master Qi's ability and vision, and concluded that Old Fox Qi deserved to be Old Fox Qi, and she did not disappoint.

Lord Qi first thanked Feng Jin for his praise, and then asked curiously, "Among the officials, who is His Majesty's?"
