When Wang Jingchu saw Ye Chunqiu suddenly looked pitiful, she laughed: "Oh, there are times when the majestic Duke of Zhenguo outside? Why, did you offend my father today?"

Ye Chunqiu could only relax himself the most in front of Wang Jingchu. He blinked at Wang Jingchu with a few rare playfulness, raised his thumbs up and said, "Smart."

Wang Jingchu became curious. As usual, wasn’t her father extremely satisfied with Ye Chunqiu?

Looking at Wang Jingchu's novel baby look, Ye Chunqiu smiled awkwardly before telling the matter completely.

Although it was not successful this day, how could Ye Chunqiu give up easily what he wanted to do?

Early the next morning, Ye Chunqiu began to get busy again regardless of Lord Taishan's feelings.

Ye Chunqiu knew better than anyone else that every day from now on, he had a lot to do, and all of this goal was to bring Lord Taishan to the top of the civil service group.

Alas, he was so worried that Lord Taishan actually felt embarrassed when he was still in the sedan chair. It was really frustrating.

Fortunately, Ye Chunqiu is Ye Chunqiu after all. His brain is not the brain of ordinary people. He has his own way to deal with old Taishan. No, it should be that his mother-in-law has a way to deal with him. Therefore, Ye Chunqiu, who has always been respectful to Taishan, felt that he didn't have to care whether Taishan agreed.

Not far from the Ye family, Ye Dong had already rented a huge house. This was the address of the fan club. Many people were recruited, most of whom were scholars from the Zhenguo Mansion. These people were more at ease to use. They were mainly responsible for the transmission of official documents and public opinion investigations. Zhang Jin had prepared the preparations for a new publication, nothing more than finding several printing workshops and being on standby at any time. In addition, they were buying paper, ink, etc.

When Tang Bohu saw that he had gone to Zhenguo Mansion, he was naturally raising funds. He went on behalf of Ye Chunqiu. Many big businesses were definitely willing to give this face.

To put it more directly, given Ye Chunqiu's status among merchants, let alone fundraising, to a certain extent, as long as Ye Chunqiu hooks his fingers, people will not be sad to give him money, but they will not be sad to give him money.

Merchants in this era are very tactful, but they are not afraid of spending money. The most feared thing is that they want to give money, but they have no way to give it away. If you want to give it away, they still look down on you.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed. Ye Chunqiu walked here for a while, then went out and started to visit relatives and friends.

The first step is to promote the court, so in a sense, it is also very important to who the candidate is. These candidates are selected by all officials. In the charter, officials of the third rank or above are referred to, but they do not specifically indicate whether they are civil officials or military officials. This gives room for operation. In addition, many titles enjoy high-level treatment, such as Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo, who are also qualified to recommend the election. There will be approximately four or five hundred votes, and one hundred votes, and you can enter the candidate list.

Not only Ye Chunqiu wanted to do his best, but also Ye Lao Taigong and Ye Jing started to do this.

Ye Chunqiu first went to see Xie Qian, and met Xie Qian before Xie Qian entered the palace to serve.

Xie Qian drank tea, looked at Ye Chunqiu, and smiled bitterly, "Chunqiu, you, really..." Shaking his head and sighed, then said, "Now the streets say that this is good governance, but I don't agree. The biggest hidden danger of the court today is not who is the chief minister, but the serious deficit of the Ministry of Revenue and the financial situation is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Among them, there are problems with you royal families, and there are no court officials who are fighting to bribe scholars by taking advantage of their rights? It is precisely because the power of scholars is getting bigger and bigger, and now the land is increasing, but the country is getting more and more difficult, which makes the country increasingly difficult. You are better. In this way, everyone is rushing to bribe scholars, and in the end they have to cause trouble."

Xie Qian expressed his hidden worries, but in fact, this is not wrong. The scholars have become the most powerful class, and now they are given such rights to strengthen their privileges. If anyone dares to touch their interests, they will immediately let the death. What if this continues?

Ye Chunqiu looked at Xie Qian deeply and said, "So why Mr. Xie doesn't object?"

"Oppose?" Xie Qian widened his eyes and looked at Ye Chunqiu with an idiot look, saying, "Who dares to object in the world? If you mention this, it will be difficult for the emperor to object, not to mention that I am just a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Even if I want to block the car, I can't stop it. I am a vulgar. I can't make up my mind to make a big decision, and finally I will be disgraced and useless for things."

After hearing this, Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Mr. Xie is a good description! But even a respected cabinet minister like Mr. Xie is so careful about the issue of scholars involved. It can be seen that scholars have reached an incurable point. If that is the case, what is the difference between having this public recommendation? Could it be that there is no public recommendation, the officials in the court will not bribe scholars? I don't think so. At this point, I am just following the flow! Over the years, it is not the Spring and Autumn Period, but the officials in the court."

Xie Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That is the emperor and scholars who rule the world together."

Ye Chunqiu said: "Chunqiu is here, I actually want to ask whether Mr. Xie intends to compete for the position of chief minister?"

This is a question of politeness. Although Ye Chunqiu wanted to push Lord Taishan up, he still needed to ask Xie Qian, otherwise he would not take Xie Gong seriously, not to mention that he still needed to seek Xie Qian's strong support.

Xie Qian shook his head straightforwardly and said, "I am old, how can I have this mental power? You guys, I won't participate in the fight for power and profit."

Ye Chunqiu sighed: "Actually, Mr. Xie is not old, but Mr. Xie is tired."

This sentence touched Xie Qian. He knew very well that Ye Chunqiu's so-called tiredness was because he had experienced too many things and his heart was tired.

Xie Qian smiled and said, "You are a sloppy person. I'm afraid you want your Lord Taishan to fight for it. Dehui is also unlucky. With a son-in-law like you, you have to suffer. You don't have to ask. I support Dehui. Mr. Li, I have worked with him for many years and I am a close friend, but after all, it's not as good as my friendship with Dehui."

Ye Chunqiu quickly saluted and said, "I feel relieved if you have this sentence from Mr. Xie."

"Don't worry?" Xie Qian still shook his head: "Are you blind? This time, Dehui had no chance of winning. Not to mention one thing, there was not even a single point."
