Chapter 2228 He Turned Out to Be the Emperor’s Man

Someone who couldn't stand Meng Yuncheng came out of the queue and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Meng Yuncheng has just passed the imperial examination and threatened to go home to teach before he was awarded the title. He is clearly treating the imperial examination as a child's play. Such behavior is completely unacceptable. He is just contemptuous of the imperial court and does not take the imperial examinations seriously, so he should be severely punished."

Compared to the huge reactions of others, the emperor was much calmer.

He just looked at Meng Yuncheng, his voice did not rise and fall, and he wanted to work harder, "Meng Yuncheng, you are full of knowledge and have talents in the world. According to the usual practice, the number one scholar should have been awarded the post of editor of the Sixth Rank Hanlin Academy, but you have already You have made a lot of contributions in the past, and even being promoted to two levels is not an exaggeration. Now that the imperial court is in the midst of employing people, I still hope that you can stay and assist me."

All the court officials present looked at each other in shock and were promoted two levels in a row? ? ? They suddenly felt that the emperor was probably crazy too.

No, the emperor just said that Meng Yunzheng had made a lot of contributions earlier? What is it? Why don't they know.

As far as they know, the most famous thing is that he found the evidence of Gongqiu's crime a few years ago and brought him to justice.

But that was during the time of the late emperor. If you want to take credit, it should be the reward given by the late emperor.

Everyone's minds were filled with questions. The official who stood up earlier and wanted to step on Meng Yunzheng quietly returned to the queue in embarrassment after hearing what the emperor said.

However, Meng Yunzheng still insisted, "Your Majesty, the court is at a time when it is employing people, so I should go back to teach and educate people, and cultivate more talents for Dasu. The ability of a person is limited, even if I am diligent in political affairs and work hard. , is always just one person. As a master, I can educate thousands of talents for the court. This is also a way to serve the court, and even for me, this way is more suitable for me. I hope the emperor will make it happen. .”

The emperor felt very bad. This guy was really stupid.

"That's all, if that's the case, I'll just accept it."

Qi Chan was startled and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, something unexpected happened and Meng Zhuangyuan may not have thought it through yet. Why don't you give him two more days to think about it carefully, so as not to miss such a great minister."

Give him another two days to think of a way to persuade her.

Unexpectedly, the emperor waved his hand and said, "He has been thinking about it for three years and still hasn't changed his mind. Even if he gives it two more days, the result will be the same."

Qi Chan was stunned, three years?

Others present suddenly turned to look at Meng Yuncheng, so Meng Yuncheng knew the emperor three years ago?

The person with a quick mind was even more shocked. Three years ago, it was the late emperor who sat on the dragon throne.

Thinking further, it was exactly when Meng Yunzheng overthrew Gongqiu three years ago that he pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and revealed the conspiracy of the second prince. The second prince was placed under house arrest by the late emperor. The most powerful contender for the throne just lost his chance to stand up.

At that time, the second prince and the third prince were fighting fiercely. Someone who was well-informed also found out that the third prince led people to catch Gong Qiu and the second prince's mother and concubine. Even Meng Yunzheng, who was wandering outside the palace gate, was brought in by the third prince. See the emperor.

Everyone thought that the person who defeated the second prince was the third prince, but later some thoughtful officials thought that it was the fifth prince who took action. After all, the status of the fifth prince had risen sharply since then, and he had real power.

Especially in the end, the fifth prince actually became the new emperor. This statement was even more tacit.
