Chapter 195: Machiavellianism
"Zhao Yu!"
After the emperor finished his performance, he shouted to Zhao Yu who was standing at the end below.
"I'm here!"
Zhao Yu took a step forward, feeling somewhat nervous.
Why does the emperor want to name the boss of this room?
"Since you are from the Prosecution Department, I ordered you to search Cao Zhengchun's residence, and then arrest all the people and impose them to death!"
"According to the order!"
Zhao Yu frowned slightly. He was somewhat resistant to this kind of implicated system from the bottom of his heart.
But it’s hard to disobey the emperor’s order!
Especially when those three terrifying auras shrouded his body, Zhao Yu couldn't refuse at all.
"An Jianqing!"
After the emperor finished the task of searching the house, he turned his attention to An Jianqing.
"I'm here!"
An Jianqing stood up, clasping his fists and waiting for orders.
"I order you to go to Hulong Villa, fetch the body of slave Cao Zhengchun, and hang it outside the four gates of the capital as a warning!"
When the emperor finished speaking, Zhao Yu clearly noticed that except for Zhu Wuwu and Wei Zhongxian, everyone else trembled subconsciously.
This is royalty!
When doing business, various high-ranking officials receive generous salaries.
But once you become an outcast, you can't die with dignity at all.
Although Cao Zhengchun was not a good person, he was still loyal to the emperor.
But in the end, it ended up like this...
There are four hanging gates.
This means that Cao Zhengchun's body will be displayed back and forth in the four gates of the capital. This is even worse than hanging his head in public!
"According to the order!"
An Jianqing received the order and stepped aside.
The emperor looked around at the crowd, and then said slowly: "Now that the governor of Dongchang is vacant, what would you recommend?"
Here comes the topic!
When the emperor said these words, everyone's hearts moved.
This is the real purpose of the emperor summoning them all to Yongshou Palace today!
"Father, I think this Dongchang is a retainer of the royal family, and foreign ministers should not be promoted!"
Everyone was waiting to see what happened, but the Thirteenth Prince stood up directly.
In a word, the candidates of Wei Zhongxian and his group will be passed directly.
"Oh, who do you think is qualified for the position of Governor of the East Factory?"
The emperor smiled slightly, looked at the thirteenth prince and asked.
Everyone knew that the emperor doted on the thirteen princes, but was lukewarm towards the prince.
But only the emperor himself knew in his heart that the thirteenth prince, who seemed to be the most favored by him, was just a shield!
Prince Yu’s shield!!
There is probably only one person in the entire government and government who can figure this out.
That is Princess Yu!
When the Thirteenth Prince saw the Emperor looking at him with a smile, he immediately looked around arrogantly and said to the Emperor again: "I think that my eldest companion... this matter requires the Holy Father's judgment!"
The Thirteenth Prince was about to recommend Liu Xi, but when he was about to speak, Liu Xi tugged at the back of his robe in a subtle way.
"What His Highness said is true. This matter requires His Majesty's sanction. However, there is one thing that I cannot agree with!"
Wei Zhongxian Weiwei opened her eyes, looked at the Thirteenth Prince with a smile and said: "Everything the sun and moon shine on belongs to my Dagan. As far as your Majesty is concerned, all the subjects in the world are subjects, so how can there be any distinction between inside and outside? ?”
"you……"
The Thirteenth Prince's expression changed, and he pointed at Wei Zhongxian and was about to speak, but Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhu Wuwu opposite him at this moment, and asked with a chuckle: "What do the Lord Gods think?"
Zhu Wuwu stared at Wei Zhongxian and said with a smile: "What Eunuch Wei said is true!"
In front of the emperor, naturally he cannot be called nine thousand years old!
"Zhao Yu!"
While Zhao Yu stood aside and watched these people fighting, the emperor in the dragon tent called his name at this moment.
"ah?"
Zhao Yu was stunned.
I am just an envoy of Beisi Town. Who among you is not more official than me?
Is this discussing the appointment of the Supervisor of the East Factory? Isn’t it the Supervisor’s choice to select a small flag and get his turn to dictate?
But the emperor has already called his name, so it’s not okay if he doesn’t stand up.
"Tell me, who is suitable for the position of governor of the East Factory?"
The emperor stared at Zhao Yu with a half-smile, while others also focused on Zhao Yu.
Especially the Thirteenth Prince and Liu Xi stared intently at Zhao Yu, who lowered his head and clasped his fists.
Liu Xi's guess was right. The emperor would definitely find a character like Zhao Yu who was neither high nor low to top the cylinder.
Zhao Yu is now dealing with various forces, and he is getting along well with them.
The emperor's intention was very obvious, which was to create a gap between Zhao Yu and all parties by promoting him to the position of governor of Dongchang.
No matter which side Zhao Yu is on, he will offend people on the other side.
And the dagger the emperor wanted was definitely not a wonderful man who had both sides, but a villain who was incompatible with all forces!
Pushing Zhao Yu to the forefront, in this way, if he wants to live safely, he must rely on him as the emperor with all his heart!
And at that time, whatever the emperor asked Zhao Yu to do, Zhao Yu could only do it obediently!
This is the only emperor in history who has not been in court for twenty years, but still firmly controls the power of the government and the opposition in his own hands!
"My subordinate is stupid, please ask my emperor, the Holy Lord Long Yi, for mercy!"
Zhao Yu, who was thinking rapidly, could only think of this sentence that Master Liu used to perfunctory the emperor!
"I have to let you say it?!"
But this emperor is not a Tatar after all, so how can he be so easy to fool?
"this……"
Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Yu's forehead. Only then did Zhao Yu realize that this idiot wanted to make himself a target of public criticism!
But with the arrow on the string, Zhao Yu had no other option.
You can't really throw out the Thunderbolt Fire Orbs in the system backpack and let us all die together, right?
"explain!!"
The emperor's face instantly turned cold, his eyes fixed on Zhao Yu at the foot of the Nine Dragons steps.
"In my humble opinion, what Eunuch Wei said is true. All subjects in the world are your Majesty's subjects, and there is no distinction between internal and external..."
When Zhao Yu said this, Wei Zhongxian Weiwei frowned, but the thirteenth prince opposite him was already full of anger.
On the contrary, it was Liu Xi who raised the corners of his mouth.
Sure enough, Zhao Yu said directly next: "However, although there is no distinction between internal and external subjects, there is a distinction between closeness and distance."
"I believe that what the Thirteenth Prince said is true. The position of Governor of the East Factory is so powerful that ordinary people may not be qualified for it. It should be held by someone close to the Emperor."
"absurd!!"
Just as Zhao Yu finished speaking, a young eunuch on duty led an old man in purple robes in.
The chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Wei! (Making things up randomly, please don’t go by the exact name)
Even Zhu Wuwu needed to report his status before entering the Yongshou Palace, but this old man walked directly into the Yongshou Palace.
You can tell with your toes that all this was arranged by the emperor!
The emperor already had plans in mind for the position of Governor of Dongchang.
He wanted to use this incident to completely push Zhao Yu, whom he was optimistic about, against the officials of the government and the public!
"According to what the envoy Zhao Zhen said, everyone in the government and the public will say that Your Majesty employs people for nepotism and rules the world with domestic slaves!!"
After all, he is the chief minister of the cabinet, so his words are different.
Chapter completed!
