Chapter 409

Ming Chongjun walked to Mingshuo and said, "Go back, there's nothing left to do!"

The situation in the DPRK and China has been strange these past few days. Two princes have been imprisoned one after another. It always seems like some kind of storm is brewing.

There was even more tension between the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

However, the eldest prince did not contact him.

This is not an illusion. It should be said that since the marriage failed, the eldest prince treated him the same on the surface, but privately, there were still changes.

Ming Chongjun was like the old fox of Ming Dynasty whom Kong Xi called him, and he deserved his reputation. Although the difference was subtle, what didn't he know?

Mingshuo said: "Yes, father!"

The father and son were walking out when a young eunuch hurried over and shouted: "Master Ming, please stay!"

Both the father and son of the Ming family stopped.

Ming Chongjun said: "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"

The little eunuch said awkwardly: "Back to Prime Minister Ming, the emperor invites Lord Ming to come to the Qinzheng Palace to see you!"

It turned out to be Master Ming.

Ming Chongjun glanced at his son and said, "Go quickly, don't keep the emperor waiting!"

Mingshuo followed the eunuch to Qinzheng Hall.

The emperor sat on the throne and read the memorial to the first batch. Mingshuo saluted: "Long live your Majesty, long live long live!"

"Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then, the emperor continued to review the memorial.

Mingshuo stood there with his head bowed.

After the emperor finished approving thirteen memorials, he raised his head, glanced at Mingshuo, and said calmly: "Mingqing, what do you think of the position of commander of the Gyeonggi Guard?"

Mingshuo cupped his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, I have no opinion!"

The emperor glanced at him lightly and said: "Gui Yuping's daughter bullied your sister, so you made her the Minister of Rites. I thought you were interested in the official position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"

Mingshuo said: "Your Majesty has learned clearly that if Gui Yuping maintains his integrity, I will not be able to deal with him even if I want to."

"You are brave enough to admit this!"

Mingshuo said sincerely: "Back to the Emperor, I know very well that no matter what I do, I can't escape the Emperor's wise eyes. In front of the Emperor, I have no secrets, and I don't want to keep them!"

"Really?" The emperor sneered: "I thought that you and your father both wanted me to die early so that King Jing could ascend the throne!"

The emperor's sneer was accompanied by his heavy majesty, which suddenly overwhelmed him.

However, Ming Shuo's expression remained unchanged, his back straightened, and he said: "Your Majesty, I was awarded the title of No. 1 in two places. During the palace examination, it was the name of the number one scholar appointed by the Emperor. I am a disciple of the emperor, not a disciple who respects the king!"

The emperor looked at him, Mingshuo was like a green pine on the edge of a cliff or a solitary bamboo in the mountains, but his body was as majestic and dignified.

The emperor withdrew his gaze and sneered: "It's the nature of father and son. Do you want to tell me that you and your father have different political views?"

Mingshuo shook his head: "Although my father has been in the court for many years, he can see through many things, but he can't see through one thing. Because he still retains a bit of unrealistic innocence in his heart."

"Oh!" The emperor was very interested: "Is this what you say?"

Mingshuo cupped his hands and said sincerely: "The son does not talk about his father, but he is the master of heaven and earth. If the emperor asks, I will speak freely! My father has been the prime minister for a long time. What he cares most about is the people's livelihood and the people. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is the prime minister's duty.

Therefore, my father hopes that the prince who can make the people live and work in peace and contentment will be the prince. King Jing has always had a reputation as a kind and kind king. Now that the emperor has not established a prince, my father will be more inclined to King Jing."

"Are you speaking for King Jing?"

"No!" Mingshuo said, "What I said is the truth!"

"Respect the king for his kindness and kindness, and his reputation as a virtuous person?"

"This is indeed the case at present. The people in the capital love King Jing very much!"

"How about that, sir?"

"I am different from my father. I am not in the position of prime minister, and what I care about is different from what my father cares about! I only recognize the king, and I am only loyal to the king!"

The emperor snorted softly. Ming Shuo's words made him feel very comfortable. However, thinking of Ming Chongjun, he was a little unhappy, and his tone was a bit cold: "If one day, you and your father have a disagreement, you should how?"

Mingshuo said: "The difference between my father and my father is that my father plans his policies in his position, and I also plan his policies in his position. I understand my father, but if the emperor has determined the position of the prince, no matter who the prince is, my father I will be the first to support! The difference between Chen and his father is that, as the prime minister, his father has a farther vision than Chen. He hopes that the Eastern Xia Kingdom will last forever and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so he thinks more than Chen! But Chen is just the Secretary of the Central Committee. , What I have to do is to cooperate with the emperor in handling government affairs. I believe that doing a good job in the present is also for the long term!"

emperor:"……"

He looked at the young courtier in front of the steps. This man was only in his twenties, the same age as his eldest prince, but his speech and behavior were calm and measured, he had a strong chest and a belly full of wisdom. He was among the younger generation of courtiers. of leading figures.

He asked slowly: "How did you learn about Gui Yuping?" He turned everything he had done upside down and demoted the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites to the eighth-rank county magistrate!

Mingshuo met the emperor's eyes calmly, and his voice was clear and calm: "If you want to check, you will always find it. I am just more careful than others and good at peeling off cocoons."

The emperor said calmly: "The left governor of the Inspectorate is vacant. You should take up the post and assist Shen Diaancong!"

Mingshuo: "I obey the decree!"

Zhongshu Ling was of the third rank, and Zuodu Yushi was also of the third rank.

Zhongshu Ling assists the emperor in handling government affairs, and the censor of Zuodu supervises all officials!

It seems flat, but it's actually derogatory.

After all, Zhongshu Ling is equivalent to walking in front of the emperor and being able to meet the emperor all the time. And above Zuodu Censor, there is Du Censor Shen Diancong. Although supervising all officials is a real power, how can it be compared to meeting the emperor all the time?

The emperor looked at Mingshuo and saw that there was no disappointment or other emotions on his face. He was still calm. The emperor waved his hand and said: "Step back!"

Mingshuo bowed and left. The emperor had actually given an order, and relevant edicts would arrive at the relevant departments later. He was still in charge of the secretariat and should go back to prepare for the handover.

The emperor rubbed his forehead. He quite admired Mingshuo. This young man had an aloof and courageous spirit, but he had a measured approach and retreat, his words were well-founded, and he was well versed in speaking skills.

Look, he has shown himself that he and Ming Chongjun have different opinions. Ming Chongjun prefers the eldest prince, and he is only loyal to the king.

But he also excused Ming Chongjun, saying that it was because Ming Chongjun was in the position of prime minister and it was due to his duty and not selfish motives.

The emperor chuckled unconsciously.

He didn't believe it in the past. Ming Chongjun was not selfish? How could he be unselfish? His daughter was not selfish and had not been engaged to anyone. Wasn't she just waiting to marry King Jing so that she could become the crown prince in the future, and then her mother would honor the world?

However, Ming Qinxue refused to marry in public!

Regardless of whether this matter was the intention of the Ming family and his son, or just Ming Qinxue, without such a nepotistic relationship, he was willing to believe that what Mingshuo just said was true!

At this time, a young eunuch quietly peeked inside His Highness.
