After the new emperor Qi Kang ascended the throne, many officials were pulled down.
Among these officials, some were loyal to the emperor, some were loyal to the former five princes, and some were disliked by the prince.
For example, the old prime minister.
The old prime minister is not too young, and his presence in Dayu's officialdom is very low, and the late emperor does not reuse it. But the late emperor still kept the old prime minister. First, there was no suitable candidate. Second, the prime minister was useless. As an emperor, he would feel more at ease.
The prime minister is a high-ranking person, one person is below ten thousand people, and it is too useful. What if he colluded with hundreds of officials without the knowledge of the emperor, and evaded the power of the emperor
But the new emperor didn't think so, the old prime minister asked three questions, and every time the new emperor called the old prime minister to ask questions, it was very difficult to communicate.
like this-
The new emperor: "You Aiqing, recently there have been vacancies in official positions in the court. I feel that one is to select suitable learned sons from the Hanlin Academy, the other is to transfer local officials with outstanding political achievements to Shangjing, and the third is to appoint some young children. "
In the past dynasties, the official position paid attention to a seniority ranking, but Qi Kang felt that it should still be based on ability.
He looked at the old prime minister: "How do you feel about Aiqing?"
The old prime minister's eyes narrowed slightly, and he moved his mouth, which had lost half of his teeth: "The sage is wise! The sage is right!"
The new emperor said again: "There are countless scholars in Aiqing's family, but who is the right person?"
The old prime minister: "Listen to the Holy One!"
The new emperor thought for a while: "... You Aiqing, what did you eat for breakfast?"
The old prime minister: "Sage is so virtuous, it is really a blessing for the people!"
New Emperor: "..."
A few days later, the old prime minister abdicated in honor and went home to take care of his life.
One of the prime ministers was empty, and many people were eyeing it.
Especially the Queen Mother's family Li family.
But the new emperor already has a suitable candidate in mind, and he wants Ji Mingxi to be the prime minister.
Although it was said that Xi was only twenty-four this year, the position of Prime Minister Ren was a little younger, which was a bit inappropriate.
But the new emperor himself is twenty-four, he can be the emperor, why can't Ji Mingxi be the prime minister
Even though he thought so, Xindi was still worried. It's not because he is worried about other people making irresponsible remarks, but at the mother's place, he doesn't know how to explain it.
The new emperor was worried, when someone outside suddenly announced: "The Empress Dowager is here!"
The new emperor hurriedly got up and saluted: "Greetings to the queen mother."
"No ceremony." The Empress Dowager's body and bones recovered well, and her complexion was also good. "A Prime Minister, does the emperor have a choice in his heart?"
The new emperor hesitated for a while, but still said: "Mother, I want to choose Mingxi."
"Mingxi is not bad, but the emperor has asked him, will he agree?"
The new emperor said: "I tried my words yesterday, and Mingxi promised to serve as the prime minister for three years."
Three years later, Ji Mingxi had to resign from office to go to the temple to clean up.
Xindi was reluctant to give up, but he also knew that this was his friend's lifelong wish, and it was Mingxi's friendship to him that he could postpone it for three years.
Naturally, he couldn't continue dragging others to repair.
The queen mother raised her eyebrows.
Wu Weian naturally wouldn't be kind enough to help the queen mother get rid of the late emperor. He had conditions, and the queen mother agreed.
The condition is that after the event is completed, the position of prime minister will be left to him.
But now, Wu Weian is still unable to ascend to the position of Prime Minister logically, so it has been about three years.
He asked the queen mother to guarantee that in the past three years, either the old prime minister will still occupy the seat, or the phase will be left empty for three years.
The queen mother agreed.
But thinking about it, it would be fine for Ji Mingxi to be prime minister for three years first.
The queen mother sat down and said, "Your Majesty, Aijia has something to say about the prime minister."
The new emperor was a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that the mother and son would have a gap because of this.
Even if the queen mother proposed to let the Li family be the prime minister, the new emperor knew that he would not agree.
The new emperor looked and looked, and Ji Mingxi was suitable for this whole court.
Three years later, if Mingxi resigned, the new emperor felt that his brother-in-law was not bad either.
When they were in Liangzhou, the new emperor and Wu Weian also got along very well.
Therefore, when the queen mother spoke out, the new emperor was stunned and hurriedly agreed.
It was exactly what he had in mind!
The new emperor: "It's just the mother, what about the uncle?"
Empress Dowager: "Aijia will beat it."-
Wu Weian was a little surprised when he received the news that Ji Mingxi was appointed prime minister: "I thought that the eldest brother would resign."
That's why he didn't say this when he and the Empress Dowager made a condition earlier.
Ji Yunxi has been sleepy recently, she said sleepily, "Big brother is for the Ji family."
For the sake of the descendants of the Ji family, the eldest brother is willing to work in the court hall for another three years, protect Ming Shuang and Ming Hao who are also in the court hall, and give them a good time before leaving.
*
Six years later, in the political affairs hall, ministers came and went.
Wu Weian came out with Ji Mingshuang, the minister of punishment, and Wu Weining, the minister of household affairs.
These two were going back to the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Household to keep busy. Wu Weian sent them out to catch some fish along the way.
Today's emperor is good at everything, but his wife is diligent, and even those who are ministers are very busy.
Every minister who was exhausted and worked hard, envied in his heart the former prime minister who had long since escaped the sea of suffering, drinking tea in the temple every day, reading books and copying Buddhist scriptures.
Wu Weian sent Ji Mingshuang and Wu Weining away, and when he came back, he happened to meet Ye Bianxiu, who had just taken office.
Ye Chenren was in the Hanlin Academy, but recently he was borrowed to help in the political affairs hall.
Tanhua Lang, Ye Chen, was born with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and a personable demeanor, but it is a pity that he married at an early age, and he had a wife and daughter at an early age.
Ye Chen's five-year-old daughter would come with her mother every evening, waiting to pick up her father.
Wu Weian has met several times, and every time it is very sour.
He is Tanhua Lang, and so is Ye Chen.
He has a sweet wife, and so does Ye Chen.
He has a five-year-old daughter, and Ye Chen also has a five-year-old daughter.
But why, when Ye Chen came home every day, his wife and daughter picked him up
Daddy, Daddy, Husband, Husband, and Husband are called affectionate, for fear that others will not hear.
And what about him? He had nothing, only the thin horse that was still not fat, but had a very good appetite, waiting for him outside.
When Ye Chen met Wu Weian, he hurriedly saluted: "Xiaguan, please pay attention to Mr. Wu!!"
He saw Wu Weian with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
In today's world, who does not know Wu Xiangye, how many scholars have come all the way listening to Wu Xiangye's story
It doesn't matter if you don't have talent, neither does Xiangye Wu! But Sang Ye Wu worked hard enough! During the imperial examination that year, he only slept for an hour a day! In the icy and snowy New Year's Eve, I still insist on reading books without interruption!
Later, I took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the land of Liangzhou, and personally went into the water to rescue the people from the flood in Qinghe County! He even saved the life of the new emperor, who was still the prince at the time. He loves the people and loves the king. He is a model of scholars in the world!
In the three years since Mr. Wu was transferred back to Beijing from Liangzhou, he still only slept for an hour a day, turned over countless unjust cases, and arrested countless vicious criminals and corrupt officials! The emperor saw all this, and made Wu Weian the prime minister despite all the opinions.
Look! As long as you do it, nothing is impossible!
Ye Chen didn't like to read since he was a child, but after marrying the woman he loved, he began to work hard to prevent his daughter-in-law from suffering.
But at the beginning, Ye Chen had a hard time learning and wanted to give up several times. Until he heard Wu Weian's story and was inspired, he insisted on reading every day for three years. Of course, he still didn't work as hard as Wu Xiangye. He slept for one to three hours every night, and he really couldn't sleep for only one hour.
But like this, he actually won the third flower! ! Before that, he didn't even dare to think about it! !
Without Xiangye Wu, there would be no Ye Chen today!
In his heart, Mr. Wu Xiangye is his benefactor.
Of course, he wouldn't know that his benefactor envied him every day.
Xiangye Wu's heart was sour, but his face was very gentle: "Don't be too polite, will your wife and daughter come to pick you up today?"
Ye Chen was flattered, but Wu Xiang actually noticed him, how good and how could he be! Ye Chen concealed his excitement: "It should be."
Xiangye Wu smiled slightly: "My daughter will also come today."
After saying this, Wu Weian's footsteps became lighter-
In the Wu family, at the table by the window, Ji Yunxi and Wu Yunan were sitting face to face.
Ji Yunxi used the account book and the abacus to calculate the profit.
Wu Yunan, with a money pot and a small abacus, was calculating her own small treasury.
She, Wu Yunan, is five years old this year, and she already has one hundred twenty-three pennies in her small treasury!
For the first time in my life, I broke through one hundred taels!
Wu Yunan excitedly told her mother the news.
Ji Yunxi smiled slightly: "Not bad."
Wu Yunan stood up, stepped barefoot on the couch, and chatted, "Mother, I have more money than Daddy now!"
Ji Yunxi: "Really? How many fathers do you have?"
Wu Yunan directly explained her father's bottom line clearly: "I saw it yesterday, and he only has eight or two or three coins in his wallet!"
Ji Yunxi looked at her daughter's extremely excited face, smiled and said nothing.
That year, when he returned to the capital from Liangzhou, Wu Weian used the Liangzhou escort bureau to bring his golden taels with great might.
For a few months after he came back, as rumored, he only slept for an hour a day, but not to investigate the case, but to dig tunnels at home to hide gold.
Now, in this underground, there are his 100,000 taels of gold, as well as some scraps of silver he has saved in the past five years.
Wu Weian never took money from the treasury. He always only kept money in it, and his life was still very good, which attracted everyone in the world to praise him as an honest and honest official.
Neither of them told their daughter about his money, and Wu Yunan didn't know it.
In her little heart, her father only had eight taels of money, while she had one hundred taels!
In this family, except her mother, no one is richer than her!
Wu Yunan looked out the window and saw the sun was sloping westward. She pulled out her socks from the side, put them on for herself, put on her shoes, walked over to Ji Yunxi, climbed up and kissed her Xiangxiangniang. A kiss: "Mother, I'm going to pick up Daddy!"
Afterwards, Wu Yunan ran out the door, not forgetting to bring her small money jar.
She's going to show it off.
