Chapter 90 Well written, brilliantly written, and terrifically written

Lu Jinqiang met Shen Qingyuan's firm and sharp eyes, and was speechless for a moment, "This... this is something you should reflect on as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, why are you asking me?"

Shen Qingyuan immediately pulled up the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "Since the Prime Minister knows nothing about the Ministry of Justice, why does he interfere with the emperor's promotion of me? Could it be that you are questioning the emperor's decision?"

In just a few words, he hit the nail on the head.

If Lu Jinqiang dares to object again, it would be a great disrespect to the emperor!

After listening to this, Shen Chaoyan secretly gave her father a thumbs up in her heart!

He is worthy of being my father, his eloquence is almost catching up with me, and he has silenced this fake champion!

It feels so good!

Lu Jinqiang also realized that he had lost his composure in a hurry, and hurriedly said to Sikong Yan, "I dare not! I just think that Minister Shen has only been in the Ministry of Justice for a few years, and now he has been promoted to the Minister of Justice. I am afraid that he will be slandered."

"Prime Minister Lu, I have to be honest. I have not been in the Ministry of Justice for a long time, but I can guarantee that there will be no wrong or unjust cases in any case I handle!" After

Shen Qingyuan finished speaking, he showed a puzzled expression again, "I ask myself how I have worked diligently and selflessly for the public over the years, what exactly has offended Prime Minister Lu? Let Prime Minister Lu be so arrogant in front of the emperor? "You are framing me!"

Lu Jinqiang had calmed down at this time, "Minister Shen, you are too serious. I have always been kind to others, so I am not targeting you. It's just that what happened to Zhao Ruhai before, I think the position of Minister of Justice must be handled with extreme caution!"

Shen Qingyuan sneered, "According to Minister Lu, the position of Prime Minister is related to the people's livelihood and the country, so we should be more cautious!"

Beautiful!

My father's counterattack is so beautiful!

Shen Chaoyan looked at the two people arguing, and she almost applauded Shen Qingyuan.

Her father had said so much, the tyrant must not lose his temper at this time!

As she was thinking, she heard the voice of Sikong Yan, "You two are the pillars of the country, and what you said makes sense. But what Minister Shen said reminded me. In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation, I should really test the knowledge level of the officials in the court."

Sikong Yan said, pushing an article in front of them, "Since you are here today, I will start with you. Here is an article. Please tell me what you think after reading it."

Lu Jinqiang was obviously here to impeach Shen Qingyuan, but how come the situation was gradually out of his control.

Sikong Yan actually wanted to test them with the article.

Lu Jinqiang wanted to find a reason to refuse.

After all, he knew how much knowledge he had.

But before he could say anything, Shen Qingyuan had already strode forward and read the article carefully.

If Lu Jinqiang quit at this time, he would seem guilty.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.

While reading the article, Lu Jinqiang would occasionally glance at Shen Qingyuan out of the corner of his eye.

Shen Qingyuan's attention was focused on the article. After reading it, he praised it for being well written. "Your Majesty, who wrote this article? This article is brilliant and insightful, which is really admirable!"

After listening to his comments, Sikong Yan looked at Lu Jinqiang and said, "What about Prime Minister Lu? What do you think?"

Lu Jinqiang swallowed his throat and said, "I agree with Minister Shen. This article is well written, wonderful and amazing."

Sikong Yan asked again, "I remember that you were the new champion. When the late emperor was alive, he praised your talent and knowledge. I want to hear what you think is so wonderful about this article?"

Lu Jinqiang's champion was stolen. He was a poor student and fell asleep as soon as he read.

After becoming an official, he always asked someone to write an article for him.

If the article was a little profound, he couldn't understand it.

Now Sikong Yan insisted on pestering him, so he could only smile and say, "This article, its wonderful thing is that it is really well written."

Puff!

Lu Jinqiang is really empty-headed!

What's the use of flattering?

He doesn't have any real talent!

Now he's going to show his true colors!

Shen Chaoyan had a look of watching a good show.

Sikong Yan tapped the article lightly with his slender finger, "Prime Minister Lu, take a closer look. Can you see anything else besides 'wonderful'?"

Lu Jinqiang tried to widen his eyes.

Unfortunately, there were several rare characters among these words, which he didn't recognize at all.

Not to mention understanding the meaning of the whole article.

However, since Shen Qingyuan said that the article was well written, it was right for him to exaggerate.

"Your Majesty, as Minister Shen said, the author of this article must be a powerful figure with a promising future. Why don't you promote this person to benefit the court and the people?"

Sikong Yan raised his eyebrows. "When Minister Shen was in the Ministry of Justice, he repeatedly solved major cases and arrested many murderers who killed innocent people. However, Prime Minister Lu frequently wrote memorials to impeach him and even prevented me from promoting him. Now I see an article that not only praises him, but also... You want me to promote someone you have never even met."

Lu Jinqiang said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I am just impressed by this article! This article is really well written!"

Sikong Xun narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent seemed to pass through his eyes, "Really? Prime Minister Lu, do you want to know who wrote this article?" Lu

Jinqiang's intuition told him that knowing the truth might not be a good thing, and it might even put himself in danger.

But people are always curious.

The more dangerous it is, the more they want to know.

So, Lu Jinqiang bowed, "Your Majesty, please tell me, I also want to meet such a talented person!"

Sikong Yan's dark eyes fixed on his face, "Prime Minister Lu, this is the article you wrote for the palace examination, don't you recognize it?"

"What, what?"

After these words came out, Lu Jinqiang's eyes widened on the spot, as if he couldn't believe his ears, "Your Majesty, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly."

"I said, this article was written by Lu Jinsong, the new champion thirty years ago, don't you remember it?"

When Lu Jinqiang heard the three words "Lu Jinsong" come out of Sikong Yan's mouth, his hands clasped in his sleeves began to tremble uncontrollably.

He was stunned for a long moment before he came to his senses, pulled up the corners of his mouth, and tried to make a relaxed expression, "It's been too long, I didn't realize that this article was written by me."

"Is that so? Then take another look at this article." Sikong Yan seemed to believe his answer, took out another article and handed it to him, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Lu Jinqiang took the article with an expression as if he had taken over a hot potato.

He lowered his head and glanced at the densely packed words on the rice paper.

Those words knew him, but he didn't recognize them.

Is this article also his?

He couldn't remember it at all.

After all, every time he needed to write an article, he would ask someone to write it for him.

If he had known that the emperor was going to test him, he should have read more of these essays carefully when he submitted them.

"Your Majesty, this is also my essay, right?"

Sikong Yan did not answer his question, and took out another essay, "What about this foolish policy essay? Prime Minister Lu, take a look and see if it was written by you?"

The ghostwriter that Lu Jinqiang found was extremely knowledgeable and talented. Since the emperor said that this policy essay was a foolish one, it must not be his.

So, Lu Jinqiang shook his head decisively, "No."

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Sikong Yan slammed the policy paper in his hand into his face, "No? Then open your eyes and take a good look! You said you couldn't recognize the essay written for the palace examination thirty years ago, and I will believe you for once. But this one was written by you last year, and it has only been eight or nine months. Is Prime Minister Lu too busy, or has he never written such a policy paper?"
