Jiang Chen was overjoyed as he stood up from the throne, walked down the stairs, and came to Fang Xuanling. He patted Fang Xuanling's shoulder and helped him up.
Fang Xuanling was flattered. He never expected Jiang Chen to take the initiative to come down and help him up. He immediately said respectfully,""Your Majesty, I can get up myself!”
"Thank you for your hard work, dear minister. Without wasting a single soldier, you have suppressed the rebellion.”Jiang Chen smiled.
Fang Xuanling looked ashamed and hurriedly cupped his hands."This lowly subject has no merit, I'm just dragging down Your Majesty's fortune!”
In fact, what Fang Xuanling said was the truth. The plan to suppress the rebellion was indeed Jiang Chen's idea, but he just happened to become Jiang Chen's blade and helped Jiang Chen execute it!
Therefore, Fang Xuanling really didn't dare to be greedy!
Jiang Chen didn't think much of it as he smiled,""This is a great merit. You, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, helped me complete a mission that even the Minister of Personnel Affairs failed to complete. Don't be modest, dear minister!"
"However, what can I reward you with? Promotion? No! If you are promoted again, you will be the Minister of Personnel. No matter how capable you are, you can't snatch the position of Minister. Then what should I reward you with? It really stumps me!" Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
These words might not mean much to others.
However, how could he not think about it when the Minister of Personnel Affairs heard it?
As the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, he was ordered to suppress the rebellion, but in the end, he returned with a crushing defeat. Instead, it was his subordinate who used only one word to suppress the rebellion!
What kind of gap was this!
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell!
With this comparison, it made him seem even more incompetent. He could not even compare to his own subordinates!
For a moment, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs only felt ashamed and ashamed. He wished he could find a hole to hide in!
Moreover, every word Jiang Chen said was like a needle that pierced into the Minister of Personnel's heart!
Although Jiang Chen said it with a smile, although he didn't specifically blame the Minister of Personnel, he only praised Fang Xuanling.
However, when these words were heard by the Minister of Personnel Affairs, his meaning would inevitably change!
For example, Jiang Chen's first compliment of Fang Xuanling was to mock the Minister of Personnel in public. Was he not as capable as a small assistant minister?
The second sentence was even more direct. From the Minister of Personnel Affairs 'point of view, Jiang Chen wasn't saying it for Fang Xuanling, he was obviously saying it for himself!
Although Jiang Chen said on the surface that he couldn't promote Fang Xuanling because he would be the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The position of minister was already taken and couldn't be replaced.
However, to the Minister of Personnel Affairs, Jiang Chen's words meant that Fang Xuanling could only be promoted to the Minister of Personnel Affairs. The previous Minister of Personnel Affairs should leave!
Although Jiang Chen didn't say that and didn't mention his name, the Minister of Personnel Affairs understood that Jiang Chen was chasing him away!
It was just that Jiang Chen didn't want to say it!
After all, the Minister of Personnel Affairs was a loyal old minister. If Jiang Chen directly chased him away, it would be too harsh. It would be like burning bridges after crossing the river, and it wouldn't be good if it spread.
Therefore, Jiang Chen used this special method to let the Minister of Personnel leave on his own. This way, the Minister of Personnel could leave with dignity and Jiang Chen's reputation could be maintained. It was a win-win choice!
Moreover, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs had made a mistake. Using this as an excuse was the best!
Thinking of this, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs instantly understood.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How could I not leave when the king asked me to?
Thus, he slowly walked out of the court and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, this old minister made a mistake in suppressing the rebellion. I am willing to be punished. From today onwards, I will retire and return to my hometown. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish!”
The entire imperial court exploded.
After all, the resignation of the Minister of Personnel Affairs was a major event!
In the court, the civil and military officials discussed animatedly.
"Sir, you have to think carefully!"
"That's right, sir. Why did you resign for no reason?”
"Isn't it just a mistake? How can it be like this!"
……
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows." My dear minister, I still need your assistance. How can you suddenly resign?" This is too sudden. Why don't you discuss it with me?”
The Minister of Personnel Affairs heard this.
However, it was not hard for the Minister of Personnel Affairs to tell that Jiang Chen wasn't surprised at all. This proved that Jiang Chen had already expected this, which further confirmed his thoughts.
The Minister of Official Personnel Affairs cupped his hands and said resolutely,"Your Majesty, this old minister is already old and I'm afraid I don't have the ability to assist Your Majesty anymore. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish!”
Jiang Chen sighed." Since my dear minister is so insistent, I am not an unreasonable person. I agree!"”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
The Minister of Personnel Affairs kowtowed excitedly.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and made a reluctant expression.""Beloved minister, a loyal old minister of my generation. With this beloved minister assisting me, I am lucky, the world is lucky!”
As soon as he said this, the civil and military officials present were also moved. They were infected by Jiang Chen's reluctance and their loyalty increased.
However, what outsiders didn't know was that Jiang Chen's mouth was curved into a smile that was difficult for outsiders to detect.
He was not surprised at all by the Minister of Personnel's resignation.
This was because everything was under his control. It was all his special arrangements.
From the moment he arranged for the Minister of Personnel and selected soldiers to suppress the rebellion, Jiang Chen had already begun planning!
Not only did Jiang Chen want to use the rebellion to consolidate the law, he also wanted to use the rebellion to clean up some people he wanted to clean up but couldn't!
Amongst them, a group of loyal old ministers in the court were like this!
After all, this group of loyal old ministers were quite loyal to Jiang Chen and everyone knew it. However, their abilities were too weak. Jiang Chen wanted to cultivate his own team, so he absolutely couldn't keep them.
However, if they were to eliminate him directly, it would be a false accusation and affect Jiang Chen's reputation.
Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to arrange for the Minister of Personnel to select generals to suppress the rebellion.
This suppression was bound to fail in Jiang Chen's eyes. What he wanted was failure.
This was also why Jiang Chen wasn't surprised when the Minister of Personnel failed to suppress the rebellion for the first time!
That was because he wanted the Minister of Personnel Affairs to make a mistake!
At this time, he would appoint the person he wanted to promote, Fang Xuanling, to take over the same task and give him some hints.
If Fang Xuanling could understand Jiang Chen's hint, he would have made a great contribution. If he couldn't, there would be no follow-up.
Obviously, Fang Xuanling understood it and completed it beautifully!
As a result, Fang Xuanling had made a great contribution, while the Minister of Personnel had returned with a crushing defeat. The two of them were in stark contrast!
At this time, as long as Jiang Chen induced it, the Minister of Personnel would feel ashamed and resign.
Then, Jiang Chen only needed to pretend to persuade him to stay and reluctantly agree. Not only would it not affect his reputation, but it would also spread a legendary story!
It could be seen how ingenious the Emperor's mind was!
It was Jiang Chen's plan to drive away the loyal old minister and cultivate his own team!
Jiang Chen turned her into a loyal old minister who resigned voluntarily. Jiang Chen tried to persuade her to stay, but to no avail. He could only reluctantly agree to the story!
At the same time, because Fang Xuanling had made a great contribution, he could naturally take over the position of Minister of Personnel.
This was the big surprise Jiang Chen prepared for Fang Xuanling, the position of Minister of Personnel!
Jiang Chen retracted his gaze and returned to the throne.""The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has resigned and retired. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is temporarily vacant. Fang Xuanling is the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and has made another great contribution.”
Fang Xuanling's pupils shrank, and his body trembled with excitement. He hurriedly kowtowed and said,""This humble subject thanks the Emperor! Long live my emperor!"
At this moment, Fang Xuanling's emotions were indescribable. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
In just a few short days, he had been promoted one after another and finally ascended to the throne of the Minister of Personnel.
However, what Fang Xuanling found strange was that everything seemed to be going too smoothly. He had just made a great contribution, and the Minister of Personnel Affairs had already resigned, allowing him to smoothly ascend the throne.
It was as if someone had planned everything in advance!
Fang Xuanling suddenly realized that something was wrong. He began to analyze the situation!
With this analysis, Fang Xuanling instantly connected the dots and the real mastermind behind the scenes!
Fang Xuanling was shocked to find out the truth. It was as if he had been struck by lightning!
His eyes trembled, and his heart beat faster. Even breathing became a little difficult.
He finally reacted!
Whether it was using the rebellion of the Eight Nobles to consolidate the law, or making the Minister of Personnel resign to promote himself, everything was actually manipulated by Jiang Chen!
Everything was Jiang Chen's chess piece, and he was no exception!
Everyone followed Jiang Chen's plan and was led by the nose, but they didn't know that their future path was already fixed!
Just like Fang Xuanling, when he volunteered, he planned to gain some credit for himself, but he didn't expect himself to be a chess piece in Jiang Chen's chessboard!
When Jiang Chen gave him the envelope, he saw the meaning of the word " law." He thought he had seen through the chessboard and jumped out, but he didn't expect to find that he was still in the chessboard.
Completely played by Jiang Chen!
In an instant, Fang Xuanling's forehead was covered in sweat, and his inner shirt was soaked in cold sweat!
This was the emperor's scheme, this was the emperor's chess game!
All living beings were chess pieces!
For a moment, he was shocked by Jiang Chen's plan. He was shocked by Jiang Chen's chess game!
He had never thought that a sixteen-year-old young emperor who had just ascended the throne would have such profound means!
Only now did he realize that the higher he stood and the closer he was to Tian Zi, the more he could feel the terror of the young Tian Zi!
Fang Xuanling's heart was naturally filled with respect when facing such an emperor. He did not dare to have any other thoughts!
Because Fang Xuanling saw it clearly. He clearly knew that everything he had was given to him by Jiang Chen. He could give it to him, take it back, and send him into eternal damnation!
While Fang Xuanling was thinking, Jiang Chen was also sizing him up.
Jiang Chen could clearly see that Fang Xuanling's ambition value was plummeting from 50 points to 20 points, a direct decrease of 30 points.
On the other hand, his Loyalty attribute soared to 90 points!
Jiang Chen smiled. From the changes in Fang Xuanling's attributes, he knew that Fang Xuanling must have reacted.
However, Jiang Chen didn't point it out. He originally planned to use this to knock Fang Xuanling down, but now it seemed like it saved him a lot of trouble!
"Dear ministers, do you have anything else to report?”
Jiang Chen came back to his senses and asked.
At this moment, the Minister of Rites, Qu Yuan, walked out from the court and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Play!"
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"Your Majesty, the list of the second batch of examinees has been released, and the results have been announced. Will Your Majesty personally set the questions for the final test?”
"This is the list of candidates for this year. I hope Your Majesty can take a look!”
As Qu Yuan spoke, he presented the list of candidates for the imperial examination.
Jiang Chen was still lacking in famous officials and generals, and the imperial examination was a major channel to create famous officials and generals!
Last time, Jiang Chen won Qu Yuan and Fang Xuanling in the imperial examination. The two of them helped Jiang Chen achieve many things!
Therefore, Jiang Chen placed great importance on the imperial examination, so he gave Liu Zhuo a look.
Liu Zhuo immediately understood. After he took the list, he handed it to Jiang Chen with both hands.
Jiang Chen opened the list and looked at it. He was looking forward to seeing a familiar name again!
