I, the Treacherous Minister, Rebel, But How Did the Empress Turn the Tables?

My name is Chu Yi. As the Minister of Personnel of An Country, I harbored a singular ambition: to rebel and seize the Great An Dynasty. To succeed in this usurpation, I formed factions, purged diss...

Chapter 40: Only two people are worthy of important positions in the court

Because the rebellion of the refugees in Anyang was caused by Chu Yi, it would be reasonable if Chu Yi really obtained this evidence after that.

In her eyes, could it be that Lord Li is indeed a corrupt official who is hiding his integrity?

Xiao Ling felt furious.

This is the Censorate, and these are the censors who dare to speak out!

This is the censor whom she has always entrusted with important tasks and whom she trusts very much!

Although she was angry, her calmness prevented her from completely trusting Chu Yi's one-sided statement.

"These are just your one-sided statements. Can you provide evidence to prove that Lord Li is a corrupt official?"

Faced with this question, Chu Yi smiled and held up two fingers.

"To be honest, there are only two and a half capable officials in this court who can guarantee that they are selfless and have a clean record!"

"Two and a half?"

Xiao Ling was completely stunned by Chu Yi's words.

“Why two and a half?”

Chu Yi still had a warm smile on his face and pointed at himself.

"I am not talented, I am only half..."

Xiao Ling's face fell.

Can you, a traitor, get half of it?

May I ask, Lord Chu, which word can describe you, selfless for the country and clean?

"You...you really are...shameless!"

In the end, she couldn't help it and cursed without mercy.

"Shameless?" Chu Yi was unhappy, staring with eyes full of dissatisfaction:

"It's true that I haven't been selfless in my service to the country, and it's true that I've taken a few billions more, but I can still be considered a capable minister, right?"

Xiao Ling: “(?_?)?”

Okay, okay,

You say you are a capable minister, so that's right.

I always follow your lead.

"Let's put this half aside for now. I don't agree with it at all. What about the remaining two?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Ling was still curious about what Chu Yi called a useful person.

Chu Yi was very dissatisfied with her evaluation of himself, but he did not pursue it too much.

He pinched his chin and thought for a moment before speaking: "The Minister of Revenue Cheng Xunyi is one of them. Even I have to admire him."

Xiao Ling nodded. I completely agree with this evaluation.

After all, Lord Cheng is my most trusted confidant and my last line of defense against you, the villain.

And although the Ministry of Revenue is in a slump now, it has seen some improvement in the three years since Minister Cheng took over.

"There's another one, who is it?"

Xiao Ling just stared at Chu Yi with her watery eyes, curious about this last person.

She also quickly recalled the candidates in her mind, but there were a few names in her mind, but she felt that none of them were right.

Faced with Chen Tang's impatience, Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.

I noticed the panic that was suppressed for only a moment on the tip of his brow, and I found it inexplicably amusing.

"Tang'er, I'm just curious. Why do you care so much? Are you planning to become an official in the imperial court?"

Chu Yi took a step forward and leaned over, pressing Chen Tang under him so that her back could only lean against the desk.

"I... I'm just curious..." Xiao Ling's heart was pounding, but fortunately she was used to being hugged by Chu Yi, and she quickly regained her composure.

Then, with a look of impatience on his face, he said, "It's up to you to tell me or not. If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I'm too lazy to listen!"

Deep down, I was praying, Traitor, speak quickly!

After you say that, I can write it down so that I can train you to deal with you in the future.

"Hmm..." Chu Yi didn't know what she was thinking. He just hesitated for a moment before revealing the final choice in his mind:

"The last one, you've actually met her before, and... like you, she's a woman."

Chu Yi deliberately only said half of it, leaving the rest of the answer to her imagination, wanting to see if she could guess it at a glance.

Xiao Ling lowered his head and thought for a moment.

If she talked about the people she had met, she had seen many, but if she talked about women, the first person she thought of was Mu Ci, the commander of the Tianwei.

But with her current identity as Chen Tang, she has never seen Mu Ci before.

If you look at it this way, then she can only think of one person.

One of a kind.

That’s the one from the Duke Rong’s Mansion, Shi Qingxue!

Because she herself, a Heavenly Guardian, was originally a woman, there are still a few women serving as officials in the Da'an court.

Among them, the one she values ​​most is the commander of the Heavenly Guards, Mu Ci.

Similarly, Xiao Ling actually paid a lot of attention to Shi Qingxue, and felt that she had great potential in leading troops in battle.

Of course, she just didn't expect that Chu Yi would have such a high opinion of Shi Qingxue.

Although she was certain that Chu Yi was talking about Shi Qingxue herself, she still confirmed it again when the words came to her lips:

"Are you talking about... General Shi, who suppressed the rebellion in Anyang City?"

Chu Yi nodded decisively.

"Yes, General Shi is also a rare genius. Perhaps if there is an opportunity in the future, he may become a great commander!"

The more Xiao Ling listened, the more frightened she became. Finally, she thought of something and began to feel excited.

Well said.

Presumably, since Chu Yi had such an evaluation of General Shi, she could also respect General Shi and use this to deal with Chu Yi in the future.

"By the way, could it be that you are optimistic about these two people, the commander of the Tianwei, Mu Ci, do you think..."

Xiao Ling suddenly realized that the commander whom he had more confidence in was not mentioned by Chu Yi, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

She naturally trusted Mu Ci immensely, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to let Mu Ci hold the position of Commander of the Heavenly Guards until now.
