Chapter 690: Tacit Cooperation
The thrilling story of Chu Tian being murdered by officials
Since Chu Tian was quickly promoted to the cabinet, he has been the most popular person in the court. However, behind this glory, the undercurrent of jealousy is quietly surging. Many officials who have been working in the officialdom for many years but have been promoted slowly are dissatisfied with Chu Tian's "rocket-like" rise. They began to plan behind the scenes and tried to bring down this "young and energetic" intruder. The first one who couldn't hold back was Mr. Sun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Mr. Sun has served in the Ministry of Personnel for many years and thinks he has a solid foundation, but his path to promotion has always been tepid. The appearance of Chu Tian made him feel that his years of hard work were easily surpassed by this young man, and the fire of jealousy in his heart burned fiercely. He joined several officials who were also dissatisfied with Chu Tian and decided to find fault with Chu Tian's work first. One day, the court discussed an important personnel appointment and removal case, and the cabinet needed to provide reference opinions. Mr. Sun and others knew in advance that Chu Tian was responsible for drafting the relevant suggestions, so they made some moves in secret. They bribed a clerk around Chu Tian to secretly add some sensitive content that could easily cause controversy to the manuscript drafted by Chu Tian. After the manuscript was submitted to Emperor Kangxi, Lord Sun took the lead and righteously accused Chu Tian of biased suggestions in the court, and even implied that Chu Tian had ulterior motives and deliberately disrupted the court's personnel arrangements. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Tian. Chu Tian was shocked when he saw the strangeness in the manuscript, but he quickly calmed down. He keenly realized that someone was behind the scenes, so he calmly explained his ideas to Emperor Kangxi in detail and pointed out the suspicious points in the manuscript that might have been tampered with. After listening to it, Emperor Kangxi felt that what Chu Tian said made sense and ordered a strict investigation of the matter. After an investigation, the truth came to light and the conspiracy of Lord Sun and others was exposed. Emperor Kangxi was furious and severely reprimanded Lord Sun and his accomplices, and the matter came to an end. However, Lord Sun did not give up. He held a grudge and decided to deal a more fatal blow to Chu Tian. This time, he colluded with a group of killers in the underworld and promised them a large sum of money to wait for an opportunity when Chu Tian was out. On a dark and windy night, Chu Tian finished a busy day and rode home. When he walked to a remote alley, a group of black-clad men suddenly emerged from all directions, holding sharp blades and surrounded him. Chu Tian secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but he had studied martial arts since he was a child, so he was not afraid of these killers. He quickly drew out his sword and fought a desperate battle with the killers. The killers were well-trained, cooperated tacitly, and attacked fiercely. Although Chu Tian was a martial arts expert, he was outnumbered and gradually fell behind, and was injured in many places. Just when he felt powerless, he suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves coming from afar. It turned out that it was Chu Tian’s good friend, General Li, the imperial guard, who happened to pass by here. Seeing this, General Li immediately led his guards to join the battle. Under the joint attack of everyone, the killers gradually couldn't resist and fled. After this disaster, Chu Tian knew that his situation in the court was becoming more and more dangerous, but he did not back down. He understood that only by continuing to work hard and making more achievements could he gain a foothold in this treacherous officialdom. At the same time, Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also joined the conspiracy against Chu Tian. Qian was in charge of the court's finances. He usually embezzled and accepted bribes, embezzled money, and acted extremely cautiously. He was worried that Chu Tian would investigate his illegal behavior after entering the cabinet, so he decided to strike first. Qian secretly instructed his men to fabricate a false account and framed Chu Tian for a huge financial deficit of the court. Then, he suddenly attacked in the court, took out the false account, and accused Chu Tian of taking advantage of his position to embezzle public funds. For a time, there was an uproar in the court, and Emperor Kangxi was furious and ordered a strict investigation of the matter. Chu Tian was angry and helpless in the face of this sudden accusation. He knew that it was Mr. Qian who framed him, but it was difficult to find evidence to prove his innocence. During the investigation, Mr. Qian and others set up obstacles everywhere, trying to mislead the direction of the investigation. However, Chu Tian did not sit still. With his wisdom and courage, he began to secretly investigate Mr. Qian's illegal behavior. He looked for clues everywhere and visited many people related to financial affairs. Finally, with the help of an upright old official, Chu Tian found the ironclad evidence of Mr. Qian's corruption and bribery. In the court, Chu Tian exposed Mr. Qian's crimes one by one in front of everyone. When Mr. Qian saw that the matter was exposed, he collapsed to the ground. Emperor Kangxi was furious and ordered that Mr. Qian and his followers be dismissed and investigated. Chu Tian finally cleared his grievances. After this series of conspiracies and frame-ups, Chu Tian's situation in the court became more and more difficult, but his reputation became more and more famous. His tenacity and wisdom won the admiration and support of many upright officials, and also made Emperor Kangxi trust him more. Chu Tian knew that in this court full of conspiracies and struggles, the road ahead was still long, but he was ready to meet more challenges and continue to write his own legend.
He actively participated in the court's various decisions, helped Emperor Kangxi solve problems, and played a key role in many major issues. His influence grew, and he became Emperor Kangxi's right-hand man in the court. In this ever-changing court, Chu Tian, from an ordinary student who traveled through time and space, stood out in the Hanlin Academy step by step with his own ability and perseverance, and then entered the cabinet and became an important figure influencing the court situation. However, he knew that his mission was far from complete, and there were more challenges and opportunities waiting for him in the future. He will continue to write his own legend on this treacherous political stage.
The story of Chu Tian going to local areas to provide disaster relief One year in the Qing Dynasty, many places in the south were hit by rare floods. Heavy rains poured down continuously, and the water levels of rivers rose sharply. The dams broke one after another under the impact of the raging floods. The turbid waves rushed down like a beast, instantly submerging large tracts of farmland, and countless villages were swallowed up by the raging floods.
Other ministers looked at him with new eyes. As time went on, Chu Tian gradually emerged in the cabinet with his wisdom, courage and hard work.
He will continue to uphold a heart for the people and make more contributions to the court and the people in the future.
