The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Bo, stood out to make things difficult for Li Xianzi, which was not unexpected.
As an important figure in Duke Chen's Mansion and a staunch supporter of the King of Shu, Chen Bo could not convict Li Xianzi of beating up a prince, but he had to find a way to do something about it. However, they did not expect that he would choose to break through like this, which was really unexpected.
Even if Li Xianzi really had great talent, he was too young. He was neither the Grand Tutor nor the Grand Tutor. Of course, he was not a famous Confucian scholar. However, it was indeed difficult for him to be the teacher of the princes at such a young age.
Because many times, being young was a mistake.
"Oh, this is the imperial court. Assistant Minister Chen, you have to have evidence to speak. How can Li Xianzi's new mathematics be crooked?" Suddenly, a voice came out of the silence, which attracted the attention of the people.
"Minister Qin?"
Seeing that figure, the officials were immediately filled with doubts.
The first person to stand up for Li Xianzi was not Li Mingze, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, nor Yan Bing, the Minister of War, nor the old general who was very protective of him. It was Minister Qin of the Ministry of Revenue?
Not only were the officials surprised, but Chen Bo also did not expect that the Minister of Revenue, who had never participated in the struggle in the imperial court, would suddenly intervene. Depressed, he said again, "Minister Qin, whether my words have evidence or not, you only need to ask Minister Zheng of the Imperial College."
Working in the imperial court, the most terrible thing was to be isolated and helpless. He had long expected that there would be opposition, and a few days ago, Chen Bo found himself a reliable ally.
The Chancellor of the Imperial College was more qualified than him to speak on this matter in the entire imperial court.
Hearing this, the officials could not help but secretly despise him. In the imperial court, everyone knew that the Chancellor of the Imperial College was a disciple of Prime Minister Qin and also a staunch supporter of the King of Shu. How could he stand up for Li Xianzi at this time?
"In that case, Minister Zheng, how crooked is Li Xianzi's new mathematics?" At this time, Emperor Jing's voice came out.
The Chancellor of the Directorate felt extremely bitter in his heart. If it were not for yesterday's incident, he would definitely stand on the side of Assistant Minister Chen Bo of the Ministry of Rites. But the problem was that the Directorate of the Directorate had a guilty conscience. The Emperor had already given them a chance yesterday. If they did not grasp it well, not only would he lose his position as Chancellor, but the entire Directorate of the Directorate would also be finished.
Chen Bo, the assistant minister of Ministry of Rites, was originally smiling confidently. But as the Chancellor of the Imperial College spoke, his smile froze and his face gradually turned pale.
He turned his head and looked at Chancellor Zheng, who was still speaking highly of Li Xianzi. His mind went blank.
He did not understand. They had agreed that after he brought up this topic, Chancellor Zheng would stand up and denounce the new mathematics. At that time, there would be countless colleagues who would speak up and push this matter to the end. This was the first step to deal with Li Yi. Only after this step was taken could the subsequent plan be carried out.
But — What was Chancellor Zheng putting on this show again?
After Chancellor Zheng spoke, the officials were also stunned.
Did Chancellor Zheng take the wrong medicine today? Why did he speak up for the county magistrate of Chang 'an? Or did he have a grudge against Chen Bo? But weren't he and Assistant Minister Chen close to the King of Shu? Why would he embarrass Assistant Minister Chen in front of His Majesty and the officials …
Among the officials, Chen Qing and Chen Chong frowned. This was because Chen Bo had not only lost his face, but also the face of the Chen family. What was wrong with Chancellor Zheng? Why did he suddenly change sides?
In front of the officials, Prime Minister Qin was expressionless. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. However, many officials looked at the Chancellor of the Imperial College with slightly angry expressions. His performance today had completely exceeded their expectations.
"Minister Chen, do you have anything else to say?" After the Chancellor of the Imperial College finished speaking, Emperor Jing looked at Chen Bo and asked again.
"I, I have nothing to say." Chen Bo's face turned green and white. He gritted his teeth and spoke.
Not long after, the officials walked out of the hall one after another. Chancellor Zheng stood in front and wanted to explain to Assistant Minister Chen. Unexpectedly, when Assistant Minister Chen walked past him, he only snorted coldly and strode away. He stood in the same place and his expression changed for a while. Finally, he flicked his sleeves and left …
…
…
"Ten more days."
Li Yi counted the days with his fingers. He turned his head to look at Li Xuan and said, "Why don't you go into the palace and tell His Majesty that Yongning's condition has just improved. The environment in the palace is harmful to her condition. Can she be taken out for treatment?"
Li Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "I am still grounded by Uncle Huang and can only stay in the Crown Prince's residence. How can I go into the palace to see him?"
Li Yi shook his head. It seemed that he could not rely on this matter. However, he had waited for a year. A few more days did not matter. He lowered his head and continued to busy himself with the work at hand. Outside the courtyard, there was the sound of light footsteps approaching.
"Martial Uncle!"
Yangliuqing stood at the door with a smile on his face.
When Li Yi and Ruyi and Li Yi came to the capital from Qing 'an Prefecture, Yangliuqing did not go with them. He stayed in Qing' an Prefecture to help with the matters of the Hero List. Miss.Liu's female army also stayed there. This time, they came with Wan Ruoqing.
Other than them, the real backbone of the brothel had completed the transfer from Qing 'an Prefecture to the capital. Old Sun, who was eager to develop, had long been impatient with them.
Wan Ruoqing did not come to the Viscount's Manor. Instead, she had Yangliuqing bring a letter.
"It's finally here …"
Li Yi finished reading her letter and put it back into the envelope. He raised his head to look at the distant sky and murmured in a low voice.
…
…
"It's your luck to be able to enter the Qin Manor. Keep your eyes open and work honestly. Don't look at things you shouldn't see and don't ask things you shouldn't ask. Otherwise, getting kicked out would be a light punishment. Do you all hear me?"
In the Qin Manor, a fat housekeeper stood with his hands on his hips. He pointed at the dozen or so new servants in the manor.
"Yes …" the servants said timidly.
"Speak louder. Have you all not eaten?" the fat housekeeper asked with a frown.
"Yes!"
"Qin Gui, what are you doing?" A voice came from behind. The fat housekeeper turned his head to look. In the next moment, a flattering smile appeared on his serious face. He said, "Fifth Master, the manor has been short on manpower recently. These are the new batch of servants we hired today."
With that, he turned his head again. He looked at the group of servants and said, "Open your eyes wide and look carefully. This is the Fifth Master of the family. Quickly greet the Fifth Master!"
Hearing this, the new servants hurriedly bowed to the Fifth Master of the Qin Manor.
"Housekeeper Gui, where do you want to put these bags?" At this time, a figure with only half his head exposed walked over from behind. He carried several large bags on his shoulders and turned his head to ask the fat housekeeper.
"Kitchen, kitchen. How many times do I have to say it? Put it in the kitchen." The fat housekeeper kicked the man's butt and said, "You only grow your body, but who knows where your brain has gone!"
"Okay!" The large man didn't get angry after being kicked. He responded and continued forward.
"Wait a moment." The Qin Clan's Fifth Master suddenly spoke. He looked at him and asked, "What is your name?"
"Replying to Master, this little one is Wu Er." The man replied with a simple and honest smile.
The housekeeper called Qin Gui hastily said, "Fifth Master, this is the distant nephew of Old Man Wu, who repairs the garden. He came to seek shelter with Old Man Wu. I saw that he had some strength, so I had him come to the manor to do some odd jobs to eat."
The Qin Clan's Fifth Master thought for a moment and said, "I just happen to be lacking someone who can use strength. You can make the arrangements."
Qin Gui was stunned for a moment, then he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay. Don't worry, Fifth Master. I will make the arrangements in a moment!"
Having said that, he kicked the man's butt and said, "What are you waiting for? It is your good fortune that Fifth Master has taken a fancy to you. Hurry up and thank Fifth Master!"
The man gave a simple smile and promptly said, "Thank you, Fifth Master. Thank you, Fifth Master!"
The Qin Clan's Fifth Master waved his hand and turned to leave. The fat housekeeper looked at the man and smacked his lips. He said, "Following Fifth Master is much better than doing odd jobs. Boy, you are really lucky!"
The other servants all looked at the large man with envious expressions. He had just entered the Qin Manor and was already valued by an old master. His starting point was much, much higher than theirs …
The man didn't seem to care about this. He carried the bags on his back and left with a simple smile. After walking two steps, he turned back and scratched his head with one hand. He asked, "Housekeeper Gui, I forgot to ask. Where are these bags?"
