Chapter 56 A Semi-Illiterate Person Holds a High Position of Power?

The emperor's study.

Xiao Yunzhou resisted the urge to lower his head to look at the precious girl in his arms.

Xiao Chuchu's face was flushed, and she excitedly moved her eyes to every minister who rushed over to the study.

Her skill of 'body fragrance' has been upgraded to LV2, which can double a person's intelligence within one step, but there are only three chances a day.

She has used up the number of times today, and added them to her mother, brother, and wet nurse Zhang Jiashi.

At this moment, her 'body fragrance' skill is gray, indicating that it can no longer be used.

But she can get the buff of this skill - check the initial intelligence of everyone around her.

At this glance, she was originally eating melons for fun, but after seeing the back, she was really angry and laughed.

[No wonder Jingguo is about to be finished. ]

[These high officials are not smart. Although acquired efforts can make up for shortcomings, the problem is that this is the Minister of Personnel, the second in command of the Ministry of Personnel! ]

[A poor scholar who studied hard, can't he find someone more capable than this person? The important official positions in Jingguo are no joke, but they are occupied by young men who have been officials for generations and don't study! ? ]

[It's so sad that he has poor ability but occupies a high position in the country and dominates the survival of the people! ]

Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but frown in her cradle.

There was no way, she was in too much pain.

The system positioned her as the 'Princess of the Group Who Will Soon Perish', which was not groundless.

[No wonder the national strength of our Jingguo ranks outside the top 20 in the present! ]

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes went dark when he heard this.

His fairy-like little princess can see the national strength of various countries?

Their Jingguo is so bad?

Once, in the generation of his ancestors, no one dared to offend Jingguo, and it accepted tributes and worship from surrounding countries, but now it has become so depressed?

"The emperor called us here, what's the urgent matter?"

"Why is the emperor holding the little princess in his arms while discussing matters?"

"Love is not suitable for the emperor's policy of governing the country. I hope the emperor will call the little princesses and princes to the side hall and discuss matters with us seriously."

The cabinet and the six ministers all gave unhappy advice.

These ministers who have been officials for generations and even come from the founding meritorious families occupy high positions. They are not afraid of Emperor Xiao Yunzhou.

Because they have many networks of relationships left by their ancestors and teachers, and some even hold the iron certificate of immunity from death granted by the founding emperor, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

Therefore, they are arrogant and have to keep an eye on Emperor Xiao Yunzhou from time to time to let the emperor know that they are not easy to bully.

Even if the ministers lost the upper hand in the matter of establishing the crown prince before, they must immediately take back the right to speak.

"Your Majesty, how can you hold the little princess like this? You look like a concubine in the harem!" Jiang Yixu, a minister of the Ministry of Personnel who was born as an imperial censor, was extremely aggressive and even questioned the emperor's gender!

"If the emperor behaves like this, I don't know how scholars in the world will laugh at him!"

Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Jiang Yixu, who was promoted from the seventh-rank imperial censor, was famous for his ability to criticize people.

He was poisonous and quick-witted.

Usually he was a knife in the cabinet, criticizing the emperor without any effort, and other ministers admired him greatly, thinking that he was a clear stream and that he was extremely powerful.

Today, the ministers also admired him and wanted to nod in agreement.

But halfway through, they felt something was wrong.

In the meeting room, a gust of wind blew, blowing them so gloomily that goose bumps appeared on the back of their necks.

Wei Zheng, the eunuch who knew the emperor's temper best, had already hidden far away.

Looking at Emperor Xiao Yunzhou again, he was not angry but laughed.

If it were normal times, the emperor would be furious if he was compared to a concubine in the harem, but today, the emperor just chuckled at them with a fake smile.

"Do scholars in the world laugh at me?"

"Huhuhu."

The ministers froze for a while.

Jiang Yixu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel who took the lead in scolding the emperor, changed his expression even more.

Is the emperor going crazy again?

Farming in the morning, what is he doing in the afternoon!

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes wandered to the face of Jiang Yixu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel who scolded him, and pricked up his ears.

Sure enough, he heard his daughter's voice, [Jiang Yixu, tut tut, no wonder he can be the second in command of the Ministry of Personnel with an IQ of 39. It turns out that he doesn't know how to read, but he has been a street-swearing gangster since he was a child. ]

[Not only did he bribe the chief examiner of the imperial examination, but he also had money dealings with the servants of many ministers' families. ]

[Every time the ministers wanted to deal with someone, he got the news in advance and scolded the ministers at the morning court as soon as possible. 】

【He actually didn't even read the Four Books and Five Classics, but his curses were as vicious as those of a gangster. He relied on his ability to curse to get promoted and make money. 】

【The scholars in the world always thought that he was a clean person who dared to curse the emperor and tell the truth, but he was just a fool! 】

The string in Xiao Yunzhou's brain snapped!

He stared at the Minister of Personnel in front of him, Jiang Yixu, who had an IQ of 39!

He saw that this man was nearly 40 years old, handsome, but with an arrogant look on his face.

He also thought that Jiang Yixu was a clean person among the literati!

He tolerated this foul-mouthed guy who repeatedly scolded himself, the emperor, in the court!

"Good, good, good."

Xiao Yunzhou laughed angrily, looking at this half-baked guy!

"You are a scholar, I am not, I am laughed at by scholars all over the world, and you are praised by scholars all over the world."

"What a scholar, hahaha!"

Xiao Yunzhou laughed backwards.

A group of ministers felt that something was wrong.

The princes in the study had not yet retreated, and they were all stunned beside.

Only the fifth prince Chenggan looked at Jiang Yixu, who had the aura of intelligence 39 and was still stubborn on his father's head, with a complicated expression, sighed and shook his head.

Sure enough, Jiang Yixu was about to speak, and the next moment, he was interrupted by Emperor Xiao Yunzhou loudly.

"Jiang Yixu, the Minister of Personnel, you, what year did you become a Jinshi?"

"Who is the chief examiner?!"

Jiang Yixu, who was called, was stunned.

The first and second assistants beside him all changed their expressions.

What's going on!

Why did the emperor suddenly ask this?

A few officials suddenly looked flustered.

Jiang Yixu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, frowned, but still said calmly, "To answer the emperor, I am a Jinshi in the 14th year of Zhenning."

While he was speaking, he lowered his head and his breathing rhythm was a little interrupted.

But soon, he adjusted himself and looked at the emperor with a smile.

"Why does the emperor ask this?"

Jiang Yixu clenched his hands in his official robe.

Impossible.

The emperor couldn't have found out that he bribed the examiner in the imperial examination!

How long has it been?

Seventeen years ago!

It was when the late emperor was in power, and the emperor couldn't have questioned the late emperor's use of him!

"Counting it up, I have been an official of two dynasties. When I was used by the late emperor, I swore that I would die for Jingguo in this life!"

Jiang Yixu raised his head, with a stern face, and taught Emperor Xiao Yunzhou a lesson as usual.

"So, if the emperor is wrong, I will definitely give advice!"

Bah——

Xiao Yunzhou almost ignored the emperor's etiquette and spit on the head of this shameless guy!

He was furious!

The Minister of Personnel, as the little princess said, is the second highest official rank in the Ministry of Personnel.

And the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the transfer, appointment, promotion, and assessment of officials in the world!

A guy with an IQ of 39, who can't read, got the court's movements in advance by bribing the servants of the cabinet officials, and got promoted to this position by scolding people!

How can such a person be qualified to manage and assess officials?

Jiang Yixu looked at the emperor's ugly face and said righteously, "Loyal words are unpleasant to the ears, Your Majesty, I am loyal to the late emperor, so I am so harsh to the emperor."

"If the emperor finds it unpleasant, just punish me."

"But if I fall, there are scholars in the world who will continue to give advice to the emperor on my behalf!"

Xiao Yunzhou stared and finally couldn't help it.

She spit on his face, "Get lost, you scholar!"

"Jiang Yixu, the third question in the palace examination last year, now you are writing an article for me!"

"The way of university is to manifest virtue, to be close to the people, and to stop at the highest good, what does that mean?!"
