Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 52 Blackening Will Become Stronger?

"Li Shangshu, why are you here?" Ni Yue, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, asked in confusion when he saw Li Yu appearing here.

Officialdom has always been a place where people take tea and drink, and Li Yuda was not a member of the core circle of the civil official group from the beginning. Naturally, the high-ranking court officials present now do not regard this person as a dish.

Even though Li Yu is still serving as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in fact, many people don't take this Minister of the Ministry of Officials seriously.After all, Li Yu's time in the capital was too short, and his foundation was too weak, and the reason why he was able to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Officials was the result of a game between all parties.

The officials present all cast puzzled eyes, not understanding how a minister of the official department who had been ordered to stay idle appeared here again. Could it be that he was humiliating himself?
The East Pavilion faces east and west, and the rising sun can't shine in at the moment, which makes the place look gloomy.

Li Yu has been an official for 33 years, and he is now over [-] years old. He has a very kind face and acts like a good old man on weekdays, but at this moment he swept his face away from the people present.

Although everyone was paying attention to him, the eyes of these people were full of disdain, and some even had contempt in their eyes.

Li Yu saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, and said lightly: "The court recommends that Xu Tingzhang and Zhang Jin can be recommended, but I want to recommend another person!"

"Hehe... You have been dismissed, did you forget?"

"Master Li, you don't have the right to speak here now!"

"Idle stay, this is for you to go home obediently and stay, not for you to come here to make trouble!"

……

Hearing that Li Yu was going to recommend a candidate on this court tweet, especially when many people vaguely guessed who the recommended person would be, He Cong, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and others all spoke out mockingly.

Xu Pu and Zhou Hongmo exchanged glances, but they didn't understand that the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who had been taken down by them, came here to humiliate himself. Could it be that this good old Minister of the Ministry of Officials has lost his mind?

"Preach your majesty's will!" Du Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, came in from the outside holding an imperial edict, holding the imperial edict aloft and said loudly.

"The minister waits for the order!"

The officials who were still mocking just now couldn't help but secretly startled. Some officials immediately put down their raised legs and came to the pavilion to kneel down to greet the decree.

In front of the sacred decree, all high-ranking officials dare not kneel.

Du Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, felt very relieved when he saw the Jiuqing and other officials kneeling in front of him. He unfolded the imperial decree and read out: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Although Li Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, was recommended by the traitor Li Zixing, the late emperor ruled The granting of the seal was in fact the talent selected by the late emperor. During Li Yu's tenure, he selected talents with discretion and did not act for personal gain. He was the best choice for the ruling of the dynasty. At present, the courtiers have a lot of criticisms about Li Zixing's recommendation. I judge him according to the official will, but I cherish his talent, so I will re-appoint him now. The fact that Li Yu was recommended by a traitor will not be discussed by the ministers in the future. Li Yu will be recommended and appointed by me. Live up to my expectations, love this!"

ah?He also appointed Li Yu as the Minister of the Ministry of officials. What about playing?

Xu Pu and others who were kneeling on the ground were completely dumbfounded, looking at the imperial decree in Du Ming's hand in disbelief.

Although Chaotang has been dismissed and returned to his post, it is the result of a period of struggle and time. How can there be a reason for dismissing someone early in the morning and returning to his post before the sun rises?
Du Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice to the stunned officials, "You still don't want to thank you?"

"My ministers obey the decree, long live my emperor!" Zhou Hongmo and other officials sighed sadly in their hearts, and could only thank them in a polite manner.

Judging from the current results, all of them played tricks on His Majesty.At the time when their civil servant group was fighting internally, Li Yu had just been kicked out, but in the end, His Majesty got him back.

This time their impeachment was undoubtedly hated by Li Yu, and His Majesty who gave Li Yu a new life is naturally a great benefactor, so how can Li Yu continue to collude with them in the future?
This... is this really the rumored dull and naive prince?Are you sure it's not the reincarnation of the old fox?
It's just puzzling that this kind of thing doesn't seem to be done by His Majesty.After all, a pighead like Qing Yunhou can cheat His Majesty into five hundred hectares of fertile land. They are all the most astute scholars, so it is only reasonable to be able to play His Majesty around.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's great grace, I will do my best and die." Li Yu thought of his situation in Qianqing Palace just now, and sincerely expressed his loyalty towards Qianqing Palace.

I thought that this time I really wanted to return to my hometown in Jiangxi, but fortunately, His Majesty is not a pedantic person. Now that I have high hopes for myself, I naturally want to repay Your Majesty's kindness.

However, Li Yu walked towards the center of the pavilion and came straight to Xu Pu.

Xu Pu's eyes were dull, he thought that he was only one step away from controlling the world, but before he could take any action, Li Yu had already returned to his original post.

The dream of entering the cabinet is broken, and there is no hope for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Let alone being an emperor in the new dynasty, the current situation is worse than that of the Chenghua Dynasty.

Xu Pu saw Li Yu walking towards him. In fact, he and Li Yu were in the same age relationship, but now he found that Li Yu, who had always been respectful to him, had changed.

Every time this person sees him, he always greets him with a smile, so that he actually looks down on this good old man very much in his heart, but Li Yu in front of him actually looks down on him with a condescending face.

cough!
Zhou Hongmo, Minister of Rites sitting next to him, looked at Xu Pu, but coughed lightly.

what?

Xu Pu frowned in confusion, and suddenly found that not only Zhou Hongmo was coughing at him, but the officials around him also looked at him hesitantly.

"Master Xu, it's time to give up your seat!" Du Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, reminded Xu Pu lightly when he saw that Xu Pu was used to domineering.

Officials such as Zhou Hongmo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, also sighed secretly, and looked at Xu Pu who was sitting in the main seat with complicated eyes. This matter needs to be reminded by others.

If the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is missing, Xu Pu, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, will naturally preside over the court push, but now that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has returned to his position, then Xu Pu, the deputy, will naturally give up his seat obediently.

It was only then that Xu Pu realized that he was indeed sitting in a seat that he shouldn't be sitting in. He just gave up his seat to Li Yu in public, and he immediately felt very upset.

He and Li Yu are on the same list of Jinshi, but he is a minister of Qinggui, and now he is the leader of Qingliu.On the other hand, Li Yu is just a local turtle who climbed up from the local area, and he was able to hold important positions in the capital by relying on the traitors.

Although Xu Pu was very unwilling in his heart, the rules of the officialdom did not allow him to mess around, so he silently endured the bad breath, and gave up his seat with a straight face.

Li Yu felt refreshed when he saw Xu Pu with a dark face, and he sat on the first seat without hesitation, and said to He Cong, the right servant of the Ministry of War who had just ridiculed him: "He Shilang, Jia Shilang and everyone, thanks to Long En, This official has been reinstated, but I don't know if I have the right to speak here?"

"Your Excellency Li can, of course, the lower official just made a slip of the tongue!" He Cong, the right servant of the Ministry of War, was a slippery official, and immediately said with a change of face.

Li Yu has already seen through the face of such colleagues, so he directly expressed his position: "Your Majesty has already said earlier that Wang Yue can be the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Now that the new dynasty restarts the court, we must not disappoint His Majesty." Trust me, I will find someone who can take on important responsibilities for His Majesty, so I recommend Wang Yue!"

Seeing Li Yu's statement, the officials present couldn't help but silently exchanged glances, faintly feeling that their wishful thinking today was about to come to nothing.

"Lord Li, the Tartars in the north are making a comeback, and national defense should be the most important thing in court affairs. Although His Majesty wants to appoint Wang Yue as the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the stability of northern Xinjiang is the top priority of Ming Dynasty today. He is a genius in the military, and he should take the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War as the inspector of the Nine Frontiers!" Yu Zijun, Minister of the Ministry of War, threw out the reason just now, and immediately stood up to stop him.

Du Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, sneered, and then asked: "Master Yu, I wonder if today is discussing the border troubles? Or are you discussing the candidate for the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

"Of course it's the matter of the court pushing the left deputy capital of the capital procuratorate, but the stability in the north also has to be considered!" Yu Zijun was secretly displeased, but he replied righteously.

Du Ming naturally knew that this was the reason these people wanted to stop the appointment, so he said indifferently: "Master Yu, if Wang Yue is the only way to stabilize the north, then I will go to the palace now and report this to His Majesty." How about an emergency?
Li Yu understood Du Ming's thoughts, and immediately added another firewood and said, "That's right! If there is no one available on the nine sides, and the frontier defense is in danger, then let's report to His Majesty now!"

This……

He Cong, the right servant of the Ministry of War, knew that if such a report was made, it would definitely cause turmoil in the entire Ministry of War, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Yu Zijun worriedly.

It's okay to stop Wang Yue's appointment under the banner of national defense here, but if you really report to His Majesty, then it's a major military and state matter that goes online, and His Majesty may need to consider replacing the Minister of War.

"How come these two people have become smarter? Could it be that blackening will really become stronger?"

Jia Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, has been sitting on the sidelines and watching the tigers fight, and now seeing that the two traitors Li Yu and Du Ming are obviously different, he can't help but re-examine the secrets of these two people.
