Chapter 1767: Hot Potatoes
Looking at the angry Zhu Houzhao gritted her teeth and cursed Deng Jian, Ye Chunqiu was stunned when he heard it.
In fact, Ye Chunqiu can understand Zhu Houzhao's feelings very well.
If it were anyone, he wouldn't be able to swallow this when he encountered such a stinky and hard stone. And he was the emperor, how could he tolerate this guy?
Oh, you are honest, you are amazing, you are willing to suffer poverty, but you can't ruin others.
Who in the world knows that Zhu Houzhao has done his best to make this birthday, thinking about how to collect the gift every day. Now, Deng Jian came out and just a few copper coins to get all Zhu Houzhao's efforts.
Ye Chunqiu may not like Deng Jian's personality. This guy is too stubborn and has the same mentality as me, when I drink porridge, the whole world has to drink porridge.
But just like that, he is so noble, you really don’t have any way to do it.
Ye Chunqiu was upset and said, "Your Majesty, Censor Deng has his own efforts to do this. He is a gentleman and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes."
Zhu Houzhao was still angry and slapped the table and said, "Why did I become a sand? Oh, just allow this ordinary people to exchange favors, you give me money and I will respect you. Then I am not a human being? I have a birthday, can't I accept gifts? Which king's law is this?"
It seems to make sense too.
Sure enough, things in this world are not simply judged by good or bad.
Ye Chunqiu could only smile and said, "But Your Majesty, although Censor Deng did something wrong, the starting point is still good. If Your Majesty punishes him at this time, I'm afraid... it's inappropriate."
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said, "I have asked the Jinyiwei to investigate. I don't believe that I can't find any mistakes at all. I will find a Nanjing Censor, use this to impeach him, then dismiss him, find a place to stay for the rest of my life. I will not be upset, otherwise I will let him wander around the capital every day, and I will not be able to eat, and my temper will not help but want to beat someone."
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's disgusting look, Ye Chunqiu was very calm: "Can Your Majesty really find his mistake?"
"Why can't you find it?" Zhu Houzhao said unconvincedly.
Ye Chunqiu's eyes strangely smiled, shook his head, and said, "Then I might as well make a bet with Your Majesty. I guess Your Majesty will definitely not find anything. Although the Jinyiwei is powerful, as long as they don't turn the black and white, it will be difficult to provoke the head of Censor Deng."
"Is that true?" Zhu Houzhao was very confident, but when she looked at Ye Chunqiu with a certainty, she seemed to become unconfident even after thinking about it.
In fact, in his heart, Deng Jian was smelly and hard, and it was really hard to catch any handle. He said painfully: "If you can't catch it, let Liu Fan find a way."
To find a way, of course, it is to create something out of nothing and make something false.
After hearing this, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Your Majesty has forgotten, he and Your Majesty have also been sworn brothers."
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Because of this, I have only dismissed his official position. Otherwise, I would definitely kill him with a stick."
Zhu Houzhao's murderous look was a little chilling.
It can be seen that Deng Jian really made Zhu Houzhao angry this time.
Moreover, Ye Chunqiu could almost conclude that the three feet of ice is not as cold as a day. This time, I am afraid that this incident is just a fuse. I am afraid that it will not cause any more trouble for Zhu Houzhao.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "I have it."
"What?" Ye Chunqiu glanced at Zhu Houzhao curiously.
Zhu Houzhao said: "I have conferred you as King Lu, and it seems that I have not given you a title of Chief Secretary to this King Lu, right?"
The chief minister was an official of the royal palace. Logically, Ye Chunqiu was a king of the vassal state, but not a vassal king. This chief minister was not a royal granted by the court.
But Ye Chunqiu was such a smart person, and he immediately understood Zhu Houzhao's idea. This guy wanted to throw this hot potato to him.
In an instant, Ye Chunqiu's face turned green.
Although he understood Deng Jian very well and was willing to say good things for Deng Jian, hoping that Zhu Houzhao could tolerate it, this does not mean that Ye Chunqiu likes to leave a "father" by his side. Damn, will he be able to remain calm in the future?
Ye Chunqiu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed. Is Censor Deng a righteous man? The court needs such talents. How can he be with me?"
"Oh!" Zhu Houzhao said resolutely: "My ministers are many, and they are full of talents, not more than him. After thinking about it, you are just when you need talents. You must have many difficulties outside the pass. Now, I have made up my mind to let Deng Jian be your chief secretary. Well, that's it, let him be your chief secretary for you for the rest of your life."
lifetime……
Ye Chunqiu opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
Zhu Houzhao did not give Ye Chunqiu a chance, and he suddenly said with a heartache: "Chunqiu, don't forget that Deng Jian is a brother who has been sworn with us, his own brother, and you will not let him stay by your side? I want to help you, okay, enough, don't say anything, I won't listen to you after I say it. Censor Deng is a good official. I know this very well that I have given him to you because of his good official. Your Lu State is in a mess and is in a time when talents are needed. I believe that you and this good brother will definitely get along well. Wouldn't it be a beautiful?"
Having said this, Ye Chunqiu had to swallow the words he wanted to say with difficulty. And looking at Zhu Houzhao's attitude, Ye Chunqiu knew that it was impossible for Zhu Houzhao to take it back into life. Ye Chunqiu still opened his mouth slightly, as if he had eaten a fly, and felt that his mouth was very bitter.
Zhu Houzhao became more and more proud. At this time, he had to admire himself. He was really smart and solved the problem in one go.
Deng Jian's whereabouts were resolved during the conversation between the two, and the king and his minister turned the topic to other matters.
Zhu Houzhao's thoughts were actually on his fleet. In order to build ships, he ordered people to supervise the construction of sea ships in Quanzhou, Songjiang, Tianjin and other places, and the money was indeed very expensive. Many officials in the court had long been jealous. In order to train the navy, Zhu Houzhao issued a special order to let the Duke Ding to train the navy in Tianjin. The personnel of the navy were all drawn from the previous Japanese guards. Now that the Japanese attacks have been pacified, the Japanese guards in various places have no effect. Now, many strong people have selected, with more than 10,000 people practicing day and night in the Tianjin Weishui Village.
