After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 231 Let Him Fill the Hole

That night, Ye Wuwei quietly entered General Qi's residence to find Qi Guangren.

Seeing Ye Wuwei, Qi Guangren was startled: "What's wrong?"

Ye Wuwei smiled: "Are you scared by me?"

"Among all the officials in the imperial court, except for my foolish brother-in-law, who doesn't have a few dirty deeds?

You just took Minister Yan with such fanfare, and now you suddenly come looking for me, how could I not be afraid? "

"You are frank."

"Do you dare to say that everything you do is bright?"

Ye Wuwei naturally didn't dare to do that, so he changed the subject: "Let me tell you something serious."

Qi Guangren's expression also turned serious.

Ye Wuwei said:

"The Minister of Personnel, two Vice Ministers, and three officials are all imprisoned in the Qi'an Department. They won't be released anytime soon. Even if they were released, they wouldn't be able to hold official positions in the court again.

Do you want to join the Ministry of Personnel?"

Qi Guangren is now the Minister of Revenue.

The appointment of civil servants in the court has always been controlled by Grand Tutor Zhuang and Grand Master Yuwen, and even Grand Marshal Qi cannot interfere. Now that there is an opportunity, Qi Guangren naturally does not want to let it go.

"If I want, can you guarantee that I will be transferred to the position of Minister of Personnel?"

"Yes. Besides you, who else is suitable at the moment?"

Qi Guangren thought for a moment:

If the Minister of Personnel and the two Vice Ministers were dismissed, there would be no one in the entire court more suitable for the position of Minister of Personnel than Qi Guangren.

"What happened to Minister Yan's case?"

"The gold and silver I found in his study and secret room amounted to 100,000 taels of gold, not counting other antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry."

Qi Guangren was also a little surprised: "So many?"

"Well, so you say he washed it clean?"

Qi Guangren thought to himself: It really can’t be washed clean!

“I see what you mean.

At tomorrow's court meeting, I will arrange for someone to tell the Ministry of Personnel that they are short of someone to take charge, and then take the opportunity to temporarily 'second' me to the Ministry of Personnel to take charge."

Talking to smart people is straightforward and you will understand immediately.

"I'm leaving."

Qi Guangren asked, "Why did you come to me instead of Prime Minister Chu?"

"Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to handle this matter?"

After saying that, Ye Wuwei left.

Looking at Ye Wuwei's back, Qi Guangren thought:

Ye Wuwei is really good to Qi Wushuang and considers everything for him.

If someone from the Andu faction suggested that he be "seconded" to the Ministry of Personnel, it would inevitably make people think that Ye Wuwei had other purposes against Minister Yan.

It is believed that Qi Wushuang established the Qi'an tribe only to balance the power of the imperial court.

If someone from the Qi family took the initiative to bring it up, even if the officials thought that Ye Wuwei had other purposes against Minister Yan, they would inevitably raise a question mark.

So as not to focus all the malicious speculation on Qi Wushuang.

Qi Guangren pondered silently for a while, then went to see General Qi.

Qi Guangren told General Qi what Ye Wuwei had said to him.

General Qi also felt that it would be better for Qi Guangren to work in the Ministry of Personnel than in the Ministry of Revenue.

"Your Majesty's power is not yet stable. It is not appropriate to massacre court officials at this time. Find an opportunity to remind Ye Wuwei."

"Based on my understanding of Ye Wuwei, he wouldn't kill us all.

At least the blame will not be placed on innocent families.

So we wait and see, so as not to let him misunderstand that the Qi family wants to interfere with his handling of the case."

After hearing what Qi Guangren said, General Qi stopped.

……

When Ye Wuwei returned to the bedroom, it was already the end of the hour of Hai, and Qi Wushuang was still awake.

It was still early, and Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang talked about the case of Minister Yan.

"There will surely be many officials impeaching me at tomorrow's court meeting. You don't need to defend me, just listen.

Also, I just went to see Qi Guangren."

Ye Wuwei told Qi Wushuang about his conversation with Qi Guangren.

Qi Wushuang said: "You don't have to worry about everything for me. I would rather you come back earlier."

"Since it's something I'm in charge of, I naturally want to do it perfectly."

"Are you tired? Lie down and I'll give you a massage."

"Then I'm going to take a shower first."

After taking a shower, Ye Wuwei lay down on the bed, and Qi Wushuang massaged his shoulders and back.

"How do you plan to end the case of Minister Yan?"

"Isn't the court short of money? I originally thought that as long as Minister Yan paid another fine of 100,000 taels of gold, I would spare his life."

"Even if we raid Minister Yan's house, I'm afraid we still wouldn't be able to collect a hundred thousand taels of gold."

“That’s right, but according to Yan Shifan, Minister Yan only kept half of the proceeds from corruption and gave the other half to Master Zhuang.

Minister Yan's corruption earned him more than 100,000 taels of gold, and Grand Tutor Zhuang also received more than 100,000 taels of gold in bribes from Minister Yan. Isn't it appropriate for Grand Tutor Zhuang to fill the hole that Minister Yan couldn't fill?"

"That being said, how could Master Zhuang be willing to fill this hole?"

Qi Wushuang pressed his hands on Ye Wuwei's shoulders: "You've been too tired lately. Your shoulders are stiff."

"Then please squeeze it loose for me."

Qi Wushuang put a little more strength in his hand, "How about this strength?"

"can."

Ye Wuwei continued with the previous topic:

"Master Zhuang is naturally unwilling to fill this hole, so we will force him to fill it even if it means he has to swallow his anger."

"What idea have you come up with?"

"The Buddha said, 'It cannot be explained.' Just wait and see."

Qi Wushuang increased the strength of his hands, "You don't even trust me now."

Ye Wuwei cried out, "Ouch!" "It hurts."

Qi Wushuang's hand wandered from Ye Wuwei's shoulder down, "Wuwei, we haven't been intimate lately."

Ye Wuwei thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. He was also a little moved for a moment: "Then take it easy."
