Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 414

Qian Qianyi stepped forward, thinking in his heart that Li Mingrui was probably too afraid of losing his control over the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and desperately wanted to establish the matter of Zuodu Yushi in front of His Majesty, and he did not hesitate to remonstrate with His Majesty. Concubines in exchange for conditions?
But in Qian Qianyi's view, His Majesty is not a sensual and foolish emperor, and even if he is a sensual one, he doesn't need to get permission from the ministers below, so Li Mingrui's move will undoubtedly only annoy His Majesty.

Therefore, Qian Qianyi did not come to stop Li Mingrui's reckless move. Instead, he felt a little joyful, hoping that while he was being looked down upon by His Majesty for proposing to establish the crown prince early, this Li Mingrui would also be the same for proposing to establish the Zuo Duyu as soon as possible. History caused His Majesty's resentment.

Just as Qian Qianyi expected, at this time Li Mingrui's proposal to establish the Zuodu censor at this time did surprise Zhu Youxiao, but it was not disgusting, because no matter whether Li Mingrui was out of selfishness or out of public interest It is true that the position of the Zuodu censor cannot be controlled all the time. Zhu Youxiao can put aside the establishment of the prince, but he cannot always put aside the establishment of the Zuodu censor. Try to maintain the administrative order of the empire.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao didn't show his anger towards Li Mingrui because of this, but he laughed and asked tentatively: "From Aiqing's point of view, who should take up the position of Zuodu Yushi?"

Li Mingrui couldn't help but be delighted. The reason why he boldly proposed to establish the Zuodu Yushi as soon as possible in such an informal occasion is to get a chance for His Majesty to let him recommend Zuodu Yushi. As long as there is no other cabinet in this situation In the case of cabinet ministers and department ministers, those recommended by him have the hope of winning.

Of course, Li Mingrui also knows that most of the people who directly recommend his camp at this moment will make His Majesty feel disgusted with him, and it will be counterproductive, and even if he recommends officials in the capital who have nothing to do with him, His Majesty will doubt whether he is If he has contacts with this official recommended by him, I am afraid that the final result will still be that he does not accept his recommendation.

Therefore, Li Mingrui decided to recommend a local official who has entered His Majesty's eyes, but has little contact with him:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, in my opinion, Shang Zhouzuo, the current governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, may be able to take on this important task. Before he left Beijing, he was the censor of the capital of Youqian, and now he still holds the title of censor of the capital of Zuofu. During the siege of Guangzhou, it also showed the calmness and calmness that an important court official should have, as well as the perseverance to bow down without fear of great power, so I recommended that this person be transferred to Beijing to take the post of Zuodu Yushi, in charge of The Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now that the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi has stabilized and has gradually shifted from the military to the development of business, we can send an official who is good at civil affairs to take on this role."

At this time, Qian Qianyi was already very surprised by this. He didn't expect that His Majesty would really ask Li Mingrui's opinion, instead of perfunctory himself like he just proposed to establish the crown prince.

And Zhu Youxiao was indeed a little surprised by Li Mingrui's proposal, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable, and he was also a little surprised because of this, whether this Li Mingrui was out of selfishness or publicity. , at least better than Qian Qianyi in playing politics.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't just agree to Li Mingrui directly. Although Li Mingrui is very good at seizing the opportunity and trying to figure out the holy will, Zhu Youxiao can't be so easily influenced by him. Instead, he just nodded and said: "In that case, Let Shang Zhouzuo go to Beijing to report on his work, and I will consider him again."

Li Mingrui naturally responded and said yes, he knew that His Majesty must have been somewhat dissatisfied with himself after learning that Cao Sicheng, the former censor of the left capital, belonged to his own camp, so he dared to confirm that it was impossible for him to be placed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate system again. As long as his majesty doesn't use an old school official to serve as the censor of the left capital, he will be considered a victory, and he will recommend a person whose political inclination is not clear before Qian Qianyi. The official of the left capital served as the censor of Zuodu, so maybe he could have a good relationship with the future censor of Zuodu.

Qian Qianyi is not stupid. After careful consideration, he realized Li Mingrui's wishful thinking. He couldn't help but beat his hands and stamped his feet. He regretted why he didn't think of this move. Maybe it was because he saw a tendency to squeeze away The reformist Zuodu censor got complacent and forgot to form?
However, Qian Qianyi also remembers to eat but not to fight. Even if he can realize the opponent's motives afterwards, he can't deal with it well, just like in the original history, he wanted to be loyal to Daming but unexpectedly surrendered.

There is always a kind of person in this world whose thoughts and actions are not consistent. Qian Qianyi is this kind of person. I feel stupid, like explaining my nature of fear of death by using an itchy scalp as an excuse.

However, the current Qian Qianyi has done such a stupid thing again. He knows that His Majesty is tired of too fierce party disputes, but deliberately encourages officials in his camp to impeach Li Mingrui for accepting bribes from Shang Zhouzuo and making millions of silver dollars. The goods fell into its hands.

But in fact, what he didn't know was that this actually contributed to His Majesty Zhu Youxiao's determination to let Shang Zhouzuo be the censor of Zuodu, and his move undoubtedly helped Li Mingrui.

The officials who were instigated by Qian Qianyi to impeach Li Mingrui and Shang Zhouzuo were directly dismissed by Zhu Youxiao, and Shang Zhouzuo was directly transferred to Beijing to temporarily take the post of the right deputy capital censor to temporarily act as the decree of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. come out.

Seeing that he was unable to change the fact that Shang Zhouzuo became the censor of Zuodu, Qian Qianyi and other conservatives had no choice but to put down their flags for the time being, and Qian Qianyi himself had to temporarily restrain his edge, and he never even mentioned the matter of establishing the crown prince, and continued to work. Do your own thing.

However, after a period of time, it will be the day when foreign countries pay tribute, and Qian Qianyi, as the chief minister of the cabinet who is also the minister of rites, is naturally responsible for this matter. Naturally, it was Qian Qianyi's specialty, and he was also good at communication, which made Zhu Youxiao temporarily let go of his prejudice against him, and summoned him several times on the platform.

Qian Qianyi cherishes this opportunity to affirm his position in His Majesty's heart, and desperately brags about His Majesty's wisdom and the great Ming's greatness in front of foreign envoys, but what people did not expect is that just as Qian Qianyi hoped, When receiving foreigners can increase the favorability in front of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, an unexpected thing happened suddenly.

That is, the young master of Java accidentally killed a small vendor.

What Qian Qianyi is not good at is this kind of response to emergencies, not to mention that he is an outsider young master, which makes him even more difficult. He didn't even dare to inform Zhu Youxiao of the matter in time, and even Let Shuntian Mansion and Wucheng Bingma Division not report for the time being.

But he didn't know that this actually created his future tragedy.
