The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Chapter 367 Jiang, Prime Minister?

"Uncle Master~ How long will Uncle Shi be sick~"

In the side hall of Wenhe Palace, Pei Zhi whispered to Master Yan who was reviewing memorials nearby.

Master Yan glanced at Pei Zhi and said, "You don't even know that you are his future son-in-law, so how can I know?"

Pei Zhi complained bitterly.

Ever since the Spring Examination was restarted, Mr. Jiang has been on sick leave.

He was now free from the duties of the Secretariat.

In theory, this assignment is to select people from the Hanlin Academy.

For some unknown reason, Emperor Rong An ordered Pei Zhi to come.

It's a complete waste of talent.

Of course Pei Zhi dared not disobey. When the emperor speaks, who dares to disobey?

Pei Zhi's hands were almost broken from writing.

He really had never worked so hard except during the imperial examination.

If that pen had a spirit, it would probably want to hang itself by now.

Master Yan looked at his nephew who had become much more lively, smiled, and gave him some advice.

"Since you can't bear it, why don't you take the initiative to ask your uncle for help?"

"Guess why His Majesty asked you, a junior official of the Dali Temple and a vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to do the job of the Zhongshu Lingshi?"

Is it reasonable to use a fourth rank official to fill the vacancy of a fifth rank official?

But Emperor Rong'an did just that.

Pei Zhi's mind was working rapidly at this moment, and he immediately understood what his uncle meant.

He looked at Master Yan with gratitude, and bowed to him with a very small gesture to express his gratitude: "Thank you~Uncle~"

Master Yan laughed quietly, young people’s brains are just that useful.

He stood up and poured himself a cup of tea. As he had been temporarily acting as prime minister for the past few days, he had also felt how powerful Xie Ji was.

I'm afraid Your Majesty is having a headache with the position of Prime Minister right now.

Originally, there was a Yu Rukui who was quite acceptable, but he was implicated in this cheating in the examination.

It would be a difficult time to promote him now.

As for Pingzhang...

Taifu Yan smiled and said that Pingzhang was lazy and had been living in Taifu Temple for many years.

He cannot accept the position of prime minister now.

From the fifth rank to the first rank, it is unprecedented.

However, there are other positions available.

This examination cheating case involved many people, and those whose crimes were not serious would be demoted three levels.

Isn't that too much space?

It all depends on whether Your Majesty has thought it through clearly.

What Taifu Yan was thinking about was the trouble that Emperor Rong'an was facing at the moment.

In the main hall of Wenhe Palace, Emperor Rong'an was looking at the mountain of memorials and was getting a little angry.

"No!"

Emperor Rong'an stood up angrily. Would he be left with no one to use if Xie Ji left?

"Send it to the side hall."

Emperor Rong'an pointed to the pile of memorials in front of him.

Haixian nodded, immediately stepped forward, picked up the pile of memorials with some difficulty and went to the side hall.

"Wait, invite the Grand Tutor here." Emperor Rong An added.

Then Haixian was seen struggling to carry a stack of memorials and distribute them to the desks of the gentlemen.

Pei Zhi's eyes were really wide open at this moment.

He wanted to go to the Dali Temple to try the prisoners, or he could go to the Ministry of Personnel to look at the files.

If it really doesn't work, can Lu Qingxiao ask His Majesty to lend him to him for some unknown reason?

Pei Zhi's mind is full of wild imagination.

Haixian respectfully invited Master Yan to go to the main hall.

Before leaving, Master Yan glanced at Pei Zhi, and the boy's eyes were already wide open.

Master Yan followed Haixian to the main hall.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty."

Taifu Yan paid a great tribute to Emperor Rong'an.

Emperor Rong'an also saw through the reason why Master Yan performed such a grand ceremony at a glance, and his eyebrows throbbed.

"Taifu, please announce the decree for me."

Emperor Rong An pressed his brows.

Taifu Yan smiled and asked, "Who will your majesty designate as prime minister?"

Emperor Rong An looked at Master Yan's smile and said with a malicious look, "Jiang Zhuo, how about Jiang Pingzhang?"

Master Yan couldn't laugh anymore. Choose Pingzhang?

This is really just watching the fun and not minding the trouble.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Zhuo's official rank is too low. Such a promotion is unprecedented and I am afraid it will not convince the public."

The most important thing is that Xie Ji has not completely fallen.

Letting Pingzhang be the prime minister at this time, isn't that just putting Pingzhang on the fire?

Will Prime Minister Xie's party and Prince Wei's party let him go?

Master Yan was worried.

He did not want Jiang Zhuo to take over the position of prime minister at this time.

It's too eye-catching and too difficult to be.

Emperor Rong'an looked calm and said, "Since I have issued an order, even if it is the first time in the history of the world, this order must be announced."

Master Yan was confused. "Do you mean temporarily?"

"Official." Emperor Rong An said.

At this moment, Master Yan had a very disrespectful idea: ...I really want to see what is in Your Majesty’s mind right now?

Did he think it was just a quarrel between two kids arguing about the sun?

Xie Ji is petty and vindictive, and Ping Zhang wants to challenge Xie Ji's people as soon as he takes office...

Master Yan thought about the not-so-nice scene and felt a little upset.

"Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, and your words are law. If there is another candidate you prefer, you might as well wait for a while."

Taifu Yan wanted to do his best to dissuade Emperor Rong'an, but now was indeed not the right time.

Emperor Rong An glanced at Master Yan and said, "Then Master Yan, come?"

"His Majesty--"

Master Yan felt a bit of a headache. He seemed to remember the Prince of Qin who did not play by the rules back then.

"Forget it. Just trust Pingzhang. He can solve it."

Emperor Rong An glanced at Master Yan dimly, "Some people are still useful to me."

Master Yan didn't understand what Emperor Rong'an said. Some people? Which ones?

By the time he figured out what this meant, the imperial edict had already been stuffed into his hands by Hai Xian.

Master Yan was almost startled, "Your Majesty!"

"Go and announce the decree!"

Emperor Rong'an did not allow him to explain and asked Haixian to take the people away.

The more Master Yan thought about the distance from Wenhe Hall to the palace gate, the more frightened he became.

Your Majesty said that you want to keep someone, could it be... Xie Ji?

This examination cheating case was caused by Xie Ji's eldest son Xie Lang, who used Xie Ji's name.

Unfortunately, Xie Ji was unharmed and only his son was executed.

His Majesty even rejected Xie Ji's resignation twice...

This incident has actually caused great dissatisfaction among the government and the public.

Your Majesty also retained Xie Ji's official rank and temporarily placed him in a place like the Imperial College.

A person who was involved in the examination fraud case was sent to the Imperial College...

It is hard to say that Emperor Rong An had no intention in making this arrangement.

The more Master Yan thought about it, the more he felt that Emperor Rong'an was setting up a big scheme.

Only now did he truly feel that the imperial edict in his hand was getting hot.

Pingzhang... do you know?

Or is this a plot between Your Majesty and Pingzhang?

Emperor Rong'an didn't know that Taifu Yan had guessed his intention based on just one suggestion.

The Duke of England's Palace received the fourth imperial edict of this year.

The imperial edict appointing Mr. Jiang as prime minister shocked the entire capital.

It is extremely rare to be promoted directly from Taipusi to Zhongshuling.

The head of all officials who went directly from the fifth rank to the first rank!

This is totally unheard of!

Those who failed to settle on the two young masters of the Jiang family recently sighed with regret.

Now when I see Jiang Er again, I have to call him Prime Minister Jiang!
