Chapter 643 Taking advantage of the situation
"In fact, it is not difficult to find people with such skills, such as those who appraise and buy and sell calligraphy and paintings in the market. These people have the ability to repair ancient paintings. They hide the works of famous artists in another painting, and it is impossible to tell that there is a painting in the painting. This is a folk art."
Everyone felt that they had learned a lot, but after a moment, they felt that now was not the time to study this.
"Then how did Lord Jiang see that?" Although Huang Mintao didn't understand Jiang Youzhen's plan, he knew it was obviously not in his favor, so he questioned.
Jiang Youzhen turned his head and looked at him. "Of course it's because of my good eyesight! Lord Huang, you may not know that I have had good eyesight since I was a child and I am very observant."
What a brazen boast! What a shameless person!
"For example, Lord Sui must have had an increased appetite recently, his belly has become so round that even his clothes have become too small.
Look, the clothes on your belly have been stretched to the point that the edges are torn. Even the fine stitches can't support your belly, which shows how happy you are recently."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud, even the emperor couldn't help laughing.
Boy, is this the time to talk about this?
"You, little boy, are so outrageous and shameless!" Sui Yuanchao's face turned purple. This kid is so bold.
Jiang Youzhen curled her lips. Since this person had a prejudice against her anyway, why should she show mercy?
"How do you know that Lord Sui is in a good mood recently?" The Minister of Revenue Du Yikun asked immediately with a sly look.
"Ahem! A happy heart makes a fat body..." Seeing Sui Yuanchao staring at him fiercely, Jiang Youzhen quickly changed his words and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing!"
"Just like the emperor, he must be very busy recently and looks a little tired. He has lost a lot of weight. He has worked hard for the country and the people. It is a blessing for the people and the country!"
If you don't apply eye drops now, when will you?
The emperor was immediately in a much better mood. He had indeed been very busy recently. Minister Jiang was truly loyal and patriotic.
When have you seen the emperor? You are still slimming down, are you bragging?
However, everyone quickly expressed their opinions, turned around and bowed, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. Your servants are incompetent and cannot share your worries. We deserve to die!"
Eh? That's not right! The emperor is so busy, and you, the Minister of War, are still happy every day, happy and fat. Have you shared the emperor's worries?
Sure enough, the emperor's eyes swept across the Sui and Yuan dynasties. He himself worked so hard, so how could the Minister of War be so idle?
"Your Majesty! I have been eating a lot recently because I have been practicing martial arts hard." He took a deep breath and shrank his stomach a little.
"Alright! This is so disrespectful. Let's get back to the topic." The emperor interrupted them unhappily. Anyway, these old guys were so idle, how could this be allowed?
"My dear Jiang, who do you think framed you? Who would have done that to you?" The emperor's face became stern again, but his expression was much softer than before.
Is this Jiang Aiqing? Has the suspicion been cleared?
"This person..." Jiang Youzhen suddenly turned his head to look at Huang Mintao, and just as Huang Mintao had a bad premonition, he pointed at him.
Then he said sternly: "It's this Mr. Huang, Huang Mintao!"
Huang Mintao was shocked. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
He immediately asked, "Master Jiang, why do you say that? Why are you framing me?"
"Sir Huang! You said earlier that you had a file recording the official positions of officials in this dynasty and asked me to read it. I was very grateful, but I didn't expect to find something wrong after reading it."
Jiang Youzhen sneered and said, "You recorded the general as the deputy secretary in the file, and also recorded the junior secretary Luo Zhonghe as the prefectural chancellor, just to mislead me.
Fortunately, I have always been a person who seeks evidence, especially when it comes to the statutes. I must be extremely careful and after finding the mistakes, I will correct them. I will ask you, do you admit it or not?"
Jiang Youzhen spoke sternly, but Huang Mintao just shook his head in confusion.
"Sir Jiang, there is no such thing! When did I give you the files recording the officials in the court? I never did."
Jiang Youzhen watched him struggle coldly, "Since Mr. Huang said there is none, do you dare to have someone search your bookcase?
Last time, after I returned it to you, I thought you had made an unintentional mistake, so I wanted to tell you and made some corrections for you, but because you were in a hurry to take it, I didn't have time to remind you, and I saw you put it in the bookcase."
Huang Mintao was relieved immediately. Jiang Youzhen must be trying to cheat him. He had already burned the file, so it was impossible for it to exist.
However, he suddenly thought that Jiang Youzhen had just made up a story and must have been planning to plot against him. Could he have some backup plan?
For a moment, he didn't dare to agree.
"The innocent are innocent. Why do you want to search my cabinet when there is nothing wrong? In this case, we cannot be partial to one and treat the other as equal. We should seal off Lord Jiang's residence first to see if he is colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty. This is fair."
Huang Mintao has come to his senses by now. He understands that Jiang Youzhen came prepared today, so he must take the initiative and convict Jiang Youzhen of the crime.
Everything must have been arranged over there. Once it's searched, Jiang Youzhen will be unable to defend himself.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change. Could the mastermind behind this incident be in this hall?
They were full of questions, and then the Minister of War Sui Yuanchao said: "Since you said you changed it, then the document should be correct, so why did the word appear in the word?"
Everyone nodded immediately after hearing this. Yes! They looked at Jiang Youzhen with a strange look in their eyes.
"I don't know about that. I checked it again when I went back yesterday. But the lock of the bookcase in the Zhuangyuan Hall is in the storeroom. What if there is more than one key? Wouldn't it be easy to open the lock? Just call the clerk in charge of the storeroom and ask him."
Huang Mintao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then returned to normal.
Jiang Youzhen clearly knew that he could get the second key, but he still let it go. Isn't this just playing the opponent's trick?
At this moment, Huang Mintao finally understood what that person said. If Jiang Youzhen was not removed, he would be a serious threat.
"Come here, first go to the Zhuangyuan Hall of the Hanlin Academy and bring all the files compiled by Huang Xiu. Do not let the news leak out. Seal off the Zhuangyuan Hall. Also bring the clerk who is in charge of the warehouse of the Hanlin Academy." The emperor gave an order.
Jiang Youzhen stood calmly by the side, admiring the changes in Huang Mintao's expression.
After all, she couldn't remain calm in the face of danger. Jiang Youzhen didn't think that the other party was plotting against her because he was afraid of her promotion. After all, she had just entered the officialdom, and even if she was promoted, it would be over in three years. There was no reason for him to be so anxious.
There were no vacancies for the sixth-rank positions in the six ministries and the Imperial Academy, and even if there were, she couldn't stand in the way. There was only one explanation, that the person behind the scenes wanted to get rid of her.
As for who it was, that was intriguing. She felt that although she was just a small fry, she seemed to have blocked the way of many people.
