Yan Shiyue thought about this and said, "Then guess!"
"Well," Qu Sinian said, "the previous trap they set up to trap Wen Qu failed, so they won't repeat the same trick for the time being. The Qinzhou incident this time should be another test. They should think of a way to implicate your brother in this matter, but let's not talk about that. The next step, they will find a way to let you truly 'enter' the court, so as to retreat in order to advance."
He looked up at her, "Prime Minister, it's easy to stay out of trouble when you're high up, but it's hard to be in the middle of it. Si Nian guessed that they would let you join the Six Ministries."
Yan Shiyue was surprised, "Six departments?"
"Yes." Qu Sinian continued, "Among them, the Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials, examinations, promotions and demotions, transfers, etc. The Ministry of War is responsible for the selection of military officers and military records, military equipment, military orders, etc. The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for household registration and finance. These three places are places that must be fought over. They will not let the Prime Minister in. The Prime Minister is good at craftsmanship. The Ministry of Works is in charge of construction projects, craftsmen, military farms, water conservancy, etc. The Prime Minister is good at these, so they will not choose the Ministry of Works."
Qu Sinian actually explained to her the responsibilities of the six departments, which was very thoughtful, although she was not really that illiterate.
He continued, "The remaining ones are only the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the national criminal law and the review of criminal names, while the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the five ceremonies of auspicious, good, military, guest, and murder, etc. Si Nian guessed that they would first recommend the Prime Minister to the Ministry of Justice, but in fact, what they really want the Prime Minister to join is the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites... Si Nian dares to guess that in the eyes of the Prime Minister, it should be relatively detached and easy, and most of the matters in charge are related to the royal family. Even if there are small mistakes, it is easy to correct them with the emperor around. The emperor must think so too. So if they recommend the Ministry of Justice first, the emperor will easily give in and let the Prime Minister join the Ministry of Rites."
He paused and said, "But whenever the Ministry of Rites does something, it is mostly something that will make people 'unhappy'." He lowered his voice and said, "In the face of repeated unhappiness, who is right and who is wrong is not that important."
This person is really brave. He knows that there are dragon guards in her yard, but he still dares to speak like this. Even she herself doesn't know if they are listening at this moment.
She asked, "So?"
...
...
"So," Qu Sinian said, "If I really guessed it right, Sinian suggested that the Prime Minister choose the Ministry of Justice. In this place, it is easy for others to do anything, but it is also easy for us to do anything."
"Wait," she shook her hands vigorously. "It's too early to talk about us. Besides, I never want to become like them."
Qu Sinian smiled and said, "Prime Minister, you will always be able to stop the enemy, but there will be a time when you can't stop them. As for the matter of asking the channel, although your inspiration is amazing, but... you were just quick-witted at the time, it was just luck, wasn't it? Can you really guarantee that you will succeed every time?"
Yes, I can! This Koi Spirit is fearless!
Yan Shiyue’s expression can be described as “me and my last stubbornness”.
Qu Sinian bowed and said, "Sinian, goodbye."
She raised her hand silently, Xu Wenqu stood up and sent him out.
Yan Shiyue grabbed Huo Qijing's hand and bit it: "Ahhh! I don't want to be like this! I don't want to become this kind of person!"
Huo Qijing stroked her head and said, "I think it's okay to have such a person. We can use him if we can."
"Ahhhh!" She continued to spin around the kitten in the room like crazy.
Huo Qijing laughed and said, "I know you are most afraid of trouble, but in this world, who can really do whatever they want? Not even the emperor can do that. Instead of passively resisting, it is better to take the initiative."
Xu Wenqu came back in and said, "Ajing is right. Everything is trouble. It depends on which kind of trouble you want to choose." He took a sip of tea and said, "You can regard him as someone who can help you deal with troubles."
That’s right!
Yan Shiyue stopped to think carefully.
Xu Wenqu half-jokingly said, "This man is not like me. He has the support of the princess and the Yan family. I heard that he was originally a bastard of a noble family, but his family was convicted and fell into decline. He passed the imperial examination six years ago and became an official. Now he has become a bachelor of imperial studies. His skills should not be underestimated. Moreover, he has seen wealth and poverty. Although he does not show his talents in the Jixian Hall, the emperor often summons him. Obviously, his answers in front of the emperor are far better than mine."
He paused and said, "I think this person can be used. Of course, you can check it out. Mainly, I have a guess," he said, "The emperor may also want you to have such a person by your side."
"No!" Yan Shiyue refused: "Let me stay alive for a few more days, and don't mention this person to me."
Xu Wenqu smiled, got up and left.
Yan Shiyue sat there silently. Huo Qijing asked, "Why not leave it with me?"
She shook her head: "That's not necessary, let's talk about it later."
Huo Qijing didn't say anything else.
A few days later, news from Qinzhou arrived.
As expected, Yan Shirong was involved, because it was said that the student who touched the pillar was from Longmen County.
But not this subject, but the best subject.
It is said that this person is quite famous in the local area. After passing the imperial examination, he failed twice. This time, he was unable to take the exam because his father had not passed the funeral. Then, somehow, he contacted several candidates and took the lead in doing such a thing. He also kept saying that he owed a great favor to Empress Fu and was unwilling to question her, but he was unwilling to let his ten years of hard work go to waste, so he just wanted to die? ?
Not to mention what kind of bullshit logic this is, it is still unclear who is behind this and what they did.
It is said that before the imperial envoy came here, the academic official had already posted the essays of all the candidates in this year's imperial examination.
In fact, this has always existed. The articles of all the tribute scholars in previous years would be printed out as official documents.
But the problem is that writing is a very subjective thing. Apart from those that really contain typos, typos, and allusions that violate taboos, even an article like Xu Wenqu's, which is so good that everyone praises it, is there any person who thinks that it is not as good as the shit written by themselves?
This is one thing. Secondly, although the imperial examination in this temple is fair and just, the writings of the previous sessions were not convincing enough, and more people expressed their dissatisfaction after posting them.
And the most unfortunate thing is that this incident triggered a chain reaction, and many students from other states also had doubts.
In this era, once it involves scholars, it is a big deal. Anyway, the law cannot hold everyone responsible, so just make a fuss. There will be nothing if you don't make a fuss. Maybe something good can come out of it?
Yan Shiyue was really annoyed.
The Qianqiu Festival is coming soon. Does she have to make trouble for her father at this time?
When Emperor Ming Yan heard her idea, he felt helpless and said with a smile: "Is there ever a day when nothing happens in this world? If everything can make me unhappy, then I won't be able to live like this!"
He glanced at her and said, "Yan Shirong has submitted a letter of apology."
She said "oh", and Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said, "You don't want to beg for mercy?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Do I need to 'beg' for this kind of thing? The first thing now is to solve the problem!"
