I defeated Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning!

Chapter 42 Is it really a useless talent in a great country?
Hearing this sentence, Hong Chengchou put away his confused look, carefully thought about the recent affairs in the court, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he had difficulty in speaking.

"You don't have to worry about anything in front of me, you can say whatever you want, speak freely, I forgive you for your innocence."

Only then did Hong Chengchou nod his head reassuringly, so he planned to express his opinion.

"Some officials above the imperial court are available, while others are not available like moths."

"If you want to keep the entire imperial court in good condition, then you must pull out all these moths, otherwise."

Hong Chengchou didn't say the following words, but Zhu Youjian also knew what he meant?
Because he had the same idea recently.

He found that many ministers above the court just relied on his father being a veteran of several dynasties, so they didn't take him seriously, and some people directly challenged his majesty.

Zhu Youjian nodded.

I now have absolutely substantial historical knowledge.

He knows exactly who is loyal to him and who is harboring ulterior motives towards him, so what he has to do now is to pull out these moths bit by bit.

Like Hong Chengchou in front of him, he is the best and most trusted person.

"If we do what you said, how should we do it? Now that all the positions of officials are full, and there are no suitable children from aristocratic families, how do you think we should solve this problem?"

"Could it be that a great country is really useless?"

Hong Chengchou is really a little confused now, why the emperor started to ask himself everything now.

So much so that he had to discuss such a serious matter with himself. What the emperor hated most on weekdays was talking to himself, and he felt that he had delayed many of his good things.

Looking at Hong Chengchou's expression, Zhu Youjian knew that he might have misunderstood what he was thinking.

"According to my real observation these days, you are the only one who is loyal to me and considers me sincerely, so I naturally want to discuss these important matters with you."

When Hong Chengchou heard this sentence, he knelt on the ground excitedly. He never thought that he could be so valued by the emperor.

If his father knew about this, he would be very happy.

"Zheng Fan, you and the way you didn't trust you before were all testing you. Now that you have withstood the test of the formation, you have naturally become my right-hand man."

Hong Chengchou didn't know what he should say to respond, Zhu Youjian's trust in him directly knelt on the ground.

"No matter what the future path is, I'm willing to give my heart and soul to help the emperor. You fulfill a series of ambitious wishes."

Zhu Youjian quickly stood up from his seat, walked up to Hong Chengchou, and wanted to help Hong Chengchou up.

"I am lucky to have a minister like you. No matter what kind of difficulties we encounter in the future, we can solve them as long as we work together."

Hong Chengchou was calm, he didn't expect to be able to help himself up as the emperor himself.

This was simply a great gift to him, so he quickly stood up from the ground, feeling even more grateful in his heart.

"Okay, don't talk to me about these nasty words, but give me an idea, about those messy things in the court."

Hong Chengchou stabilized his emotions, and his trembling voice betrayed his inner excitement.

"The emperor's old minister has a way. Although these officials can't move anymore, it's better to find the place where they committed crimes first."

"You can allow poor folk students to participate in the imperial examination system. Wouldn't that be of great use?"

Zhu Youjian touched his chin, why didn't he think of this way?
If the imperial examination system were to be restored, it would be much better for the children of poor families to squeeze into the officialdom than the children of these aristocratic families now.

"As expected of my right-hand man, the solution I came up with is great, but there is still a very important problem, and that is how to find the criminal evidence of these ministers."

This is exactly what Hong Chengchou has been struggling with. Hong Chengchou has been working hard to collect, but he has never had any plans.

"Forgive me for being incompetent!"

Speaking of Hong Chengchou kneeling on the ground again, Zhu Youjian immediately stood up from his dragon seat and helped Hong Chengchou up.

"Let me think about this matter carefully, but you have been here for a while, why don't you have dinner with me?"

Knowing that no matter which dynasty's courtiers did not have such treatment, Hong Chengchou's heart was even more turbulent.

"No need, no need, the man of the minister is still at home waiting for the minister to go back for dinner. If he doesn't go back for a long time, he will naturally be a little worried."

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Youjian was also embarrassed to keep the other party.

"In that case, you should hurry up."

Hong Chengchou resigned and left Zhu Youjian alone in this place.

"Eunuch Li."

Zhu Youjian shouted.

Eunuch Li quickly walked from the outer room to the inner room.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Eunuch Li asked.

"Eunuch Li, how many years have you been with me?"

Zhu Youjian continued to ask.

"The old slave has followed the emperor. You have been with the emperor for more than 10 years. Since you were born, the old slave has been by your side all the time."

Zhu Youjian stood up and walked to the window.

"Have I ever wronged you, caused you to be treated inhumanly or mistreated you?"

Hearing these words, Eunuch Li was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.

"The emperor has always treated this old slave very well, and he has never treated him unfairly, especially to make this old slave feel wronged."

"The old slave is even more glorious among other eunuchs."

When Zhu Youjian heard this sentence, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Since this is the case, then you should be more aware of who you should follow and protect whom, and don't be confused by some people's benefits."

Eunuch Li thought that the emperor knew something, so he just knelt on the ground.

He didn't even dare to lift his head, and kept sticking to the cold floor.

"Even if the emperor gives me a hundred courages, I won't dare to join others in plotting to kill the emperor!"

Zhu Youjian walked to his dragon seat again.

"Of course I believe in you, Eunuch Li. After all, Eunuch Li has been the only one since you were young. You have always been by my side. If you dare to betray me, I think Eunuch Li should know the consequences better than anyone else."

Eunuch Li quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your majesty, please rest assured, even if this old slave risked his life, he would definitely not let you down on this old slave."

Hong Chengchou waved his hand, and Eunuch Li stood up from the ground.

"Next time you don't need to kneel down like this, I'm just talking to you about homely things."

Eunuch Li smiled awkwardly.
