The Prime Minister's Wife Is The Richest Woman [MTL]

Chapter 107

After the new emperor Qi Kang ascended the throne, many officials were pulled down.

Among these officials, some were loyal to the emperor, some were loyal to the former five princes, and some were disliked by the prince.

For example, the old prime minister.

The old prime minister was not young, and his sense of presence in Dayu's officialdom was very low, and the late emperor did not use it highly. But the first emperor still kept the old prime minister. Firstly, there was no suitable candidate, and secondly, the prime minister was useless. As the emperor, he would feel at ease.

The prime minister has a high position and power, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, it is too useful, what if the emperor colludes with hundreds of officials and empties the emperor's power?

But the new emperor didn't think so, the old prime minister didn't know anything about it, and every time the new emperor called the old prime minister to ask questions, it was very difficult to communicate.

Like this--

The new emperor: "You Aiqing, recently there are vacancies in official positions in the court. I think that one is to select suitable educated sons from the Hanlin Academy, the other is to transfer local officials with outstanding achievements to the capital, and the third is to appoint some young children. "

Throughout the dynasties, official positions were all based on seniority, but Qi Kang felt that they should still be based on ability.

He looked at the old prime minister: "What does Ai Qing think?"

The old prime minister narrowed his old eyes slightly, and moved his mouth with half of his teeth missing: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is right!"

The new emperor said again: "There are countless scholars under Aiqing's family, but who is suitable?"

The old prime minister: "Listen to the Holy Majesty!"

The new emperor thought about it seriously: "...You Aiqing, what did you have for breakfast?"

The old prime minister: "The virtuousness of the Holy Majesty is truly a blessing to the common people!"

Xindi: "..."

After a few days, the old prime minister honorably abdicated and went home to recuperate.

One of the prime ministers was vacated, and many people were eyeing him.

Especially the Li family of the Empress Dowager's mother's family.

But the new emperor already had a suitable candidate in mind, and he wanted Ji Mingxi to be the prime minister.

Although it is stated that Xi is only twenty-four this year, Prime Minister Ren is a little younger, which is a bit inappropriate.

But the new emperor himself is twenty-four, he can be the emperor, why can't Ji Mingxi be the prime minister.

Even though he thought so, Xindi still couldn't help worrying. It's not that he's worried about other people's gossip, but that he doesn't know how to explain to his mother.

The new emperor was worried, when someone outside suddenly announced: "The Empress Dowager has arrived——!"

The new emperor hurriedly got up and saluted: "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

"Exemption." The Queen Mother's body and bones are recovering well, and her complexion is also good. "A prime minister, is there anyone in the emperor's mind?"

The new emperor hesitated for a while, but still said: "Mother, I want to choose Mingxi."

"Mingxi is not bad, but the emperor has asked him, will he agree?"
