At first, the emperor had no intention of saving Zhang Zhiru.
He knew that Zhang Zhiru was a good official, but he didn't want to conflict with Prince Jin.
He felt somewhat guilty about this, so he pretended to be sick at first.
Later, after reading those books and making the decision to save Zhang Zhiru, his guilt disappeared, but at this time, Lu Qingxi tricked Zhang Zhiru.
The emperor attached great importance to Lu Qingxi, the eunuch who grew up with him.
Lu Qingxi was like a brother to him.
But he knew that those scholars looked down on Lu Qingxi, and Zhang Zhiru... he was a scholar.
Zhang Zhiru had scolded Lu Qingxi before!
Now that he is misunderstood as being in cahoots with Lu Qingxi, Zhang Zhiru must be feeling very uncomfortable, and he will definitely want to give some compensation.
So the emperor waved his hand and appointed Zhang Zhiru as governor.
Before Zhang Zhiru was demoted, he held a high official position. With his qualifications, he was more than qualified to be a governor, and he could even be promoted to a higher position.
The officials in the court did not expect that Zhang Zhiru could become the governor, and they felt complicated.
The governor of Jiang'an Province is old and he also fell ill this year and can't take care of many things... I don't know how many people in the court are eyeing his position.
The Jin Wang party jumped up and down and caused so much trouble for the position of governor.
According to past practice... there is a 50% chance that the emperor will follow the wishes of the Prince of Jin, and a 50% chance that he will
Because of Lu Qingxi's advice, choose someone recommended by Lu Qingxi.
Although many officials were unwilling to associate with Lu Qingxi, there were still people who wanted to curry favor with Lu Qingxi for power, and Lu Qingxi still had some manpower on his side.
But now... Zhang Zhiru actually took advantage of him
Well, Zhang Zhiru is Lu Qingxi's man, and Lu Qingxi won this time.
The court session ended soon.
As the court officials left the palace, what happened in the court also spread.
The members of the Jin Wang Party gathered together, and were extremely angry: "This old villain Lu Qingxi is going too far!"
"Zhang Zhiru... is going too far!"
"I didn't expect that they would get involved with each other. I was trying to win over Zhang Zhiru before!"
…
After they were angry, they said, "Since Zhang Zhiru likes to hang out with eunuchs, let's help him spread the word!"
"Doesn't he like fame? I want to destroy his reputation!"
"What future does Zhang Zhiru have if he serves as a eunuch's vanguard?"
…
After scolding Zhang Zhiru, the first thing they had to solve was the reputation issue of Prince Jin.
Now the people in the capital are dissatisfied with King Jin, which is not a good thing!
These people thought about it, but could not think of anything that could change the reputation of King Jin.
In recent years, the current emperor has given up on having children, but a few years earlier... he had been trying hard to cure his illness and wanted to have a son.
Because of this, he suppressed Prince Jin so much that Prince Jin had no chance to accomplish anything.
In recent years, he began to value Prince Jin and gave him some tasks to do, but Prince Jin was of average ability and did his tasks perfunctorily.
How and what will they promote
In short, the Jin Wang party suffered a heavy blow this time.
Officials from Lu Qingxi's faction came to Lu Qingxi's mansion and congratulated him repeatedly.
