Chapter 336 Be Nice to His Dad
When Zuo Shiwen walked out of the teahouse, he felt like he was walking on cotton.
Are you going to be promoted now?
Chu Jinyan stayed for a while before getting on the carriage and going back.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the afternoon sun was the brightest. Sheng Xian was driving the car under the scorching sun, and he felt like he was about to be dried up by the sun.
"Your Highness, if Lord Zuo takes over the position of Minister of Justice, will there be a fall-out afterwards?" Sheng Xian suddenly asked.
Chu Jinyan was lying in the comfortable carriage, and said nonchalantly: "As long as he has the courage to turn over."
Since he was able to send Zuo Shiwen to the position of Minister of Justice, he could naturally pull him down. By that time, he might not be willing to let Zuo Shiwen's life go.
You don't have to accept his olive branch today. At most, you will make things difficult for him in the future.
But if Zuo Shiwen takes advantage of his kindness to rely on others... hehe, then you'll be dead.
"That's right. When the time comes, the emperor will be the first one to not forgive him." Sheng Xian thought for a while and said.
When they returned to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Yuanfeng also returned from the palace.
"Your Highness." He bowed to Chu Jinyan.
Chu Jinyan: "Did Father ask anything?"
"When the emperor saw the memorial, he was a little shocked. He asked me to confirm that it was the memorial given to me by Your Highness. He didn't ask any more questions after that. He said that he would issue an edict to appoint Zuo Shiwen as the Minister of Justice in a few days." Yuanfeng said.
When Chu Jinyan was writing the memorial, he knew that his father would definitely agree with him. However, when he heard the confirmation from Yuanfeng, his expression couldn't help but be moved.
His father spoils him to no limit.
Be nicer to his father in the future and give him ten more pieces when playing chess.
After deciding on the candidate for the Minister of Justice, Chu Jinyan excitedly wrote a letter to Lu Xiang to tell her the result.
After receiving the letter, Lu Xiang was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.
She just mentioned Zuo Shiwen to Chu Jinyan in the morning, and the matter was settled in the evening?
After Cui Ye was dismissed from office, many people set their sights on the position of Minister of Justice. Liu Lian wrote a memorial overnight, hoping to push the Vice Minister of Justice to that position.
Officials supporting the third prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince also wrote letters to recommend their preferred candidates.
When the emperor's decree came down a few days later, countless people were shocked.
Prime Minister's residence, study.
"I didn't expect that after all the fighting, Doctor Zuo got the advantage in the end." When Prime Minister Liu's two aides heard the news, they looked at each other in astonishment, and one of them said.
"But this result is not disadvantageous to the Prime Minister. Rather than falling into the hands of others, at least Zuo Shiwen is aloof and disliked by his colleagues, and he does not belong to any party." said another person.
Liu Xiang was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the two of them and asked, "Is there any way to win over Zuo Shiwen?"
"Sir, this person is stubborn and has not formed a party with anyone for so many years. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win him over."
He was not the only official who was as stubborn and annoying as Zuo Shiwen, but none of them were as lucky as him.
"The emperor promoted him this time out of the ordinary, perhaps because he wanted to take back the power of the Ministry of Justice."
After all, we have to pave the way for the eighth prince.
Liu Xiang naturally thought of this, and immediately snorted coldly:
"Humph, since I can't use it, I'll find a way to destroy it."
The aide said, "Your Excellency does not need to worry. Zuo Shiwen's personality is not popular among the ministers. There are many people who want to bring him down. Your Excellency does not need to worry at all."
Anyway, if it is not used by the Prime Minister, it will not be used by others.
The Ministry of Justice is such a big piece of fat meat that everyone wants to place their own people in it.
"That waste Cui Ye..." Liu Xiang gnashed his teeth in hatred towards Cui Ye when he thought that the power he had built up for so many years was gone like that.
It was in vain that I promoted him so much, but Zheng Kuan took advantage of it so easily.
No matter how smart Prime Minister Liu was, he would never have thought that Zuo Shiwen was promoted by Chu Jinyan.
No matter how sad and regretful everyone was, Zuo Shiwen was the newly appointed Minister of Justice.
Chu Jinyan threw him into the Ministry of Justice and had no more contact with him. As for Zuo Shiwen's ability to suppress everyone in the Ministry of Justice and convince them, that was his ability.
…
The courtyard of the Xiao residence was full of flowers. Peonies were vying to sprout upwards, with thick branches and lush leaves. The pollen of the flowers as big as wrists was bright and colorful, with raindrops hanging on them. When the moist wind blew, the flowers swayed gracefully, elegant and charming.
"Sixth Miss, please come this way. Be careful, the road is slippery." Huamei led the way and said to Lu Qiao, "Yesterday was the fourth miss of the Xiao family's birthday. We wanted to invite the sixth miss to come to the mansion to play, but it rained, so we didn't send anyone to invite her."
This was not the first time Lu Qiao came to the Xiao Mansion to look for Lu Mingzhu. Hearing this, she chuckled and said, "It's a pity that I missed the Fourth Miss' birthday party."
Lu Qiao knew that these were just polite words that her fourth sister asked Qin Mama to say to her so that she would know that she, Lu Mingzhu, was thinking about her all the time.
Xiao Qin is just a concubine's daughter of a merchant family. Who else could she invite except the Xiao family? Even if it hadn't rained yesterday, the fourth sister would not have invited her to celebrate Xiao Qin's birthday.
If it was the birthday of the eldest daughter Xiao Xiao, then perhaps everyone would give face to his daughter Liu Anyao and come to the social event for the sake of Prime Minister Liu.
"My aunt has been talking about the Sixth Miss a lot recently. Unfortunately, now that she is married, it is not as easy to meet her as before in the mansion. She told me that she regretted not getting closer to the Sixth Miss before she got married."
Lu Qiao pursed her lips and smiled: "I am really flattered to receive such love from Fourth Sister."
Haha, if she believed Lu Chaozhu, she would be really seeing a ghost.
As they walked, Lu Qiao suddenly realized that the road they were taking was not the one leading to Lu Mingzhu's yard, so she asked, "Huamei, where are we going?"
Huamei said, "Our aunt is in the Madam's courtyard. She has ordered me to wait for the Sixth Miss to arrive and then take you there."
Liu Anyao? !
After coming here so many times, Fourth Sister is finally going to bring her to Liu Anyao.
Lu Qiao calmed herself down, nodded calmly at Huamei, and followed her to the main courtyard.
Liu Anyao wanted to use Lu Mingzhu to deal with Lu Xiang, so she was quite gentle to her recently.
"Madam, Aunt Lu, the sixth young lady of the Lu family has arrived." A maid from the main courtyard reported at the door.
Lu Mingzhu was delighted when she heard this: "Oh, Sixth Sister is here?"
"Please invite Miss Six in." Liu Anyao said with a smile.
Soon, Lu Qiao stepped into the flower hall.
Liu Anyao sat upright on the main seat, wearing a bright royal blue dress, smiling gently, with a circle of necklaces on her forehead and a pair of inch-long amethyst crescent-shaped hairpins inserted in her temples, making her look even more graceful and noble.
Lu Mingzhu sat below her, wearing a light green long dress embroidered with plum blossoms, her soft hair tied into a unique cloud-shaped bun, and a jade seven-spectrum hairpin on her hair. Her skin was as white as snow, and her small face was beautiful and eye-catching.
