Quickly wear the clothes and become the father of Bai Yueguang who died early

The next day, he went to court as usual.

Jiang Cheng received a lot of attention.

"Didn't Censor Jiang save the emperor yesterday? Why didn't he even get a reward?"

"Don't you know that he has offended someone?"

"Who did you offend?"

"These are all secrets. The more you know in the palace, the faster you will die. Don't ask too much."

The two of them touched heads together and whispered loudly, as if they were speaking on purpose for him to hear.

Jiang Cheng snorted in his heart.

When the two were talking excitedly, they suddenly felt a chill on their backs.

Two hands slowly climbed up their backs.

When I turned around, I was caught off guard by Jiang Cheng's face with eight teeth showing.

"Hey, what about me?"

The two censors were so scared that they almost wet their pants.

Cricket him in front of him, he must commit this crime today.

Today's Jiangcheng is no longer the Jiangcheng of the past. It is now Jiang·Niuhulu·City.

When the emperor came, everyone bowed their heads.

The difference from before is that everyone below is trembling with fear.

He was afraid of offending the emperor and being scolded.

But the emperor today is obviously not as aggressive as yesterday.

After listening to everyone's memorials.

Feng Dehai walked up to Jiang Cheng.

"Imperial Censor Jiang, the Emperor invites you to the palace."

Then Jiang Cheng walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony amid many envious, jealous and hateful gazes.

"My dear ministers, I was unfortunately assassinated yesterday. Fortunately, Lord Jiang stepped forward."

Now that the emperor has spoken, the people below can only flatter him.

They all praised Jiangcheng.

"Imperial Censor Jiang is a loyal and righteous man."

"Imperial Censor Jiang is indeed a role model for our generation."

Jiang Cheng blushed from all the praise.

He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get some favors from the emperor, such as rewarding him with ten thousand taels of gold or something...

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, the emperor said, "I think you should be rewarded. Jiang Aiqing has been loyal to the country for so many years, and now he has saved me. I want to promote Jiang Aiqing to the position of Minister of Rites, a third-rank official."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

He saved your life, so you should just reward him with some money, but why did you reward him with an official position?

Is there anyone in the world who gets promoted like this?

Originally, Jiangcheng's sixth-rank censor had already exceeded his rank.

Now he was promoted to the third-rank Minister of Rites.

Prime Minister Yao's temples on both sides of his forehead were throbbing.

You might as well tear me down and let him be the prime minister.

The eyes of other officials were also piercing Jiang Cheng like needles.

You are so lucky, kid. You just blocked it for a while and then you were promoted to the third rank.

Damn it! !

Prime Minister Yao stepped forward quickly, kowtowed and knelt down:

"Your Majesty, this is not possible. There has been no precedent for such a promotion since the founding of the country. Please think twice."

Prime Minister Yao knelt down, and most of the civil servants also knelt down.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were also dumbfounded.

The position of Vice Minister of Rites had been vacant for a long time, and both sides were arguing and wanted their own people to take the position, but who knew that Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear.

Unexpectedly, an unknown imperial historian came to the throne.

How can this happen?

Without even any eye contact, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince's men immediately stood up to oppose.

"Your Majesty, this reward is too grand. With Censor Jiang's qualifications, how can he take on such an important task?"

"Censor Jiang's performance in office was mediocre and he is not up to such an important task."

With one person taking the lead, the people behind him shouted in unison:

"Your Majesty, please think again."

The emperor's face suddenly became very ugly.

"Why, do you think my life is not as noble as a third-rank official position?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

Who can say that the emperor’s life is not as valuable as a third-rank official position?

Isn't this just seeking death?

Not to mention a mere third-rank official position, even a title would be fine.

Prime Minister Yao, who was kneeling in the front, also shivered a bit, then silently bent his back deeper.

"Your Majesty, that is not our intention."

"Since there isn't one, then this matter is settled."

The emperor made the final decision.

"Jiang Cheng was promoted to the position of Minister of Rites and presided over the Spring Examination."

Jiang Cheng immediately knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

After the court session, Jiang Cheng was surrounded by people.

Some came to congratulate sincerely, while others came to flatter.

Today, when Prime Minister Yao walked, his back seemed to be more bent.

But today, Prime Minister Yao was not in a hurry to go home.

Instead, he walked into an alley after many turns.

There was a carriage parked at the end of the alley.

Prime Minister Yao walked over and said something.

The curtain of the carriage was half opened, and from Prime Minister Yao's perspective he could only see half of the face covered by a fan.

"He was lucky to be able to climb up here."

Prime Minister Yao said: "The emperor also specifically asked him to preside over the Spring Examination."

The people in the carriage chuckled, the sound was like a silver bell, but to Prime Minister Yao's ears it sounded like a death sentence.

"This means that the emperor no longer trusts you, Prime Minister Yao."

Prime Minister Yao snorted coldly: "Who has the emperor ever trusted?"

"That's right. Don't worry, I will let him go down again."

After getting the answer, the two of them parted ways.

Prime Minister Yao did not stay here for long, but passed by hurriedly like a pedestrian.

The carriage also drove to another place.

Despite this assurance, Prime Minister Yao still felt unsatisfied.

Not putting all your eggs in one basket has always been his principle in life.

That night, several people wearing cloaks with their faces covered came in through the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

They went straight into the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

They were respectively the Vice Minister of Works, the Minister of Rites and the Doctor of War.

Prime Minister Yao had always acted like he only moved around in the civil service, but he didn't expect that he would even infiltrate the Ministry of War.

As soon as the Minister of Rites Yang Kang came in, he started crying: "Prime Minister, save me! The emperor has brought him up at this time, which shows that he wants to take my place."

God knows how panicked he was when he heard the news during court.

He actually bypassed him, the Shangshu, and directly handed over such an important matter as the Spring Examination to Jiang Cheng.

Is it possible that he, the Shangshu, is just a decoration?

Prime Minister Yao glanced at him and said, "He is under your control and can never surpass you."

Yang Kang sighed again: "That's what I said."

Isn’t the rank of an official just a matter of a word from the emperor?

"If Jiang Cheng really achieves something, my position as Shangshu will be in danger."

Prime Minister Yao took a sip of tea and said, "Everything depends on human effort. Go find him something to do!"

Yang Kang's eyes widened when he heard this: "What? I'm going to find something for him to do?"

Is he going to help him?

Prime Minister Yao looked at him deeply, and even the doctor of the Ministry of War could not bear to watch it anymore.

He held Yang Kang and said, "What the Prime Minister wants you to do is to give him some trouble and make him make mistakes. This way, he won't be able to preside over the Spring Examination and won't be able to achieve any political achievements. Wouldn't your position be saved?"

Yang Kang asked: "Then how can we make him make a mistake?"

Prime Minister Yao said:

"You find someone to become his disciple, and leak the exam questions to him during the spring exam so that he can be on the list. Then have him go and beat the drum to protest his grievances, saying that he feels guilty. In this way, Jiang Cheng will cheat for his disciple, and his official career will be over."

At that time, not only will the emperor be disgusted, but even the candidates in the capital will criticize Jiang Cheng.

Yang Kang suddenly understood what was going on and bowed, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your advice."

After saying that, he left in a hurry like a gust of wind.

Prime Minister Yao put down his teacup.

He is stupid, greedy and lustful. But he is easy to control. In recent years, whenever he makes any request, he will do it.

Never make mistakes.
