Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me
Chapter 102: Just because you don’t take a show too seriously, right?
The person who suddenly smiled was none other than the Minister of War Zhou Yuanzhi. However, unlike the others, he was a lone minister in the court. He had no one at home and had no constraints except his wife and children.
In addition to the position of Minister of War, he was also appointed by the emperor as a censor. He only stood on the side of His Majesty and was naturally very favored by His Majesty.
If Mu Qingli had not found out the evidence on his wife, he would naturally not have been able to use him. Now that he has no burden at all, he starts to think about his responsibilities again.
Even Tang Kun couldn't help but look towards where he was standing, as if he didn't understand why he was laughing at this time.
Those with the hottest tempers in the court were naturally the military generals. Someone immediately stood up and questioned him with a snort.
"Master Zhou, what does this mean? Your Majesty is worried about the position of Minister of Justice. As a minister, isn't it my duty to share His Majesty's worries? I wonder why Master Zhou is laughing like that? Did we all just say something funny?"
Shi Pei was angry, so he spoke without restraint, but he was also afraid of making the relationship too awkward, so he finally made a subtle joke.
Unexpectedly, when he said this, the other party nodded and sneered, and continued speaking along with what he said.
"Yes, what you said is actually quite funny. As subjects, we should share His Majesty's worries, but the candidates you recommend should at least be reliable, right?"
"What do you mean? What do you mean by unreliable? Is it possible that there are no reliable people among these people?"
Xu Zhiji didn't understand what was going on, so he subconsciously asked a question, but soon regretted it and pursed his lips, quickly shrinking his head and hiding back in the crowd.
Ahhh, they said we shouldn't take a show too seriously, right? I almost got myself involved.
Fortunately, everyone was staring at Zhou Yuanzhi curiously, wondering what he meant, and no one noticed who asked the question.
"That's right. Those you recommended are all rotten! The corrupt ones are corrupt, the lustful ones are lustful, the ones who sell official positions are selling official positions, and the ones who line their own pockets. How dare you recommend these candidates to His Majesty?"
Zhou Yuanzhi raised his eyes and glanced at him without paying any attention. He tilted his head and snorted in a ruffian manner.
He almost couldn't help but sneer at them. How could they dare to say that they were helping His Majesty relieve his worries by bringing out such a misfit? He thought it was more like sharing power.
These words almost exposed the true colors of those people they recommended, and in an instant many people's faces looked very ugly.
Even the emperor above him frowned unexpectedly, narrowed his eyes with a dark face and asked directly.
"What do you mean, Lord Zhou? Have you found out something?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Zhou Yuanzhi proudly cleared his throat, walked out of the team with an arrogant look, raised his chin proudly, took out a lot of things from his wide sleeves on both sides, and raised his hands respectfully to hold them up.
"I am devoted to Your Majesty and have devoted my life to her. Last night, after hearing about Zhu Kunlin's accident, I have been looking for information everywhere in the hope of choosing the most suitable candidate for Your Majesty. I am not afraid of Your Majesty laughing at me, but I even went to the Ferry Pavilion and paid for some information.
It is precisely because of this that I was able to identify a number of candidates for Your Majesty in the shortest possible time. However, the time was too short, so I could only select a few candidates who were relatively suitable to succeed Zhu Kunlin.
"I have always been utterly loyal to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty knows this. Therefore, I have brought all the information I have found with me when I came to court today. The rest will naturally be left to Your Majesty's judgment. However, it would be even better if Your Majesty could praise me."
He has always been known as a tough guy in the court, so naturally he is not afraid of offending anyone. To put it bluntly, everything he has now is given by His Majesty, and as long as His Majesty still values him, nothing will happen.
The emperor was a little surprised, but he also felt that this was something he would do. He immediately became interested and glanced at Xu Han.
Xu Han was very self-conscious. He waved the whisk in his hand and quickly walked over to take the so-called evidence from Lord Zhou's hand. He lowered his eyes and handed it to the emperor respectfully.
Then he lowered his eyes quietly and continued to stand beside the emperor, but no one noticed that he glanced at Zhou Yuanzhi without saying a word.
This Lord Zhou is really creative and amazing. I'm afraid that the other princes didn't expect him to come up with this move suddenly. No one knows who will get the position in the end.
Little did they know that not only were they surprised, but the princes almost widened their eyes in shock and subconsciously glared at Zhou Yuanzhi fiercely.
Prince An Lu Shaocong's face became gloomy and his brows were furrowed.
As the saying goes, one's own family knows one's own business. He was naturally very clear about the little problems of his subordinates. However, he really did not expect that Zhou Yuanzhi, this tough guy, would suddenly come up with such a move, catching all of them off guard.
Lu Tingqi rarely raised his eyes to glance at Zhou Yuanzhi, then quickly lowered his eyes and stood quietly in the crowd, occasionally patting his legs lightly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Lu Junli could notice that some people around him were staring at him, and some couldn't help but cough twice to remind him to come forward and help.
He was extremely annoyed, but after thinking about his mother in the harem, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.
"I didn't expect Lord Zhou to be so kind-hearted. I hadn't noticed him before. But from what I heard from the ministers just now, they recommended quite a few people. Could it be that they couldn't pick out a good one among them?"
When someone spoke up, Lu Shaocong naturally stepped outside and bowed to His Majesty, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.
"That's right, Lord Zhou. If I remember correctly, the Ferry Pavilion you mentioned is just a gangster organization, right? How could those gangsters know about the affairs of the court? I'm afraid this so-called purchased information needs to be verified."
The emperor already had some opinions about him because of the Yunzhou governor incident, and now Zhu Kunlin has fallen. Everything has been going wrong for him recently, but he will definitely not let anyone else take Zhu Kunlin's position!
Zhou Yuanzhi was somewhat restrained when speaking to the princes above him, and immediately bowed and softened his tone.
"Your Highnesses are right. Naturally, I won't believe everything you say. I have specially asked people to verify it with several people. Only after I have confirmed it without a doubt did I dare to present it to Your Majesty. I am short of manpower, but Your Majesty has people around. As long as I continue to verify it, everything will be clear.
I am worried that my colleagues might misunderstand me, so I am bringing this matter before the Emperor. It's certainly not worth it for a position, but if something scandalous were to happen again, I'm afraid none of us could bear the responsibility for affecting His Majesty's health."
He couldn't help but raise his chin, skillfully hiding the pride in his eyes.
Anyway, don't ask, he is loyal to the core.
