Chapter 337: On the Cusp (Second Watch)
"No, it's not," Pan Shuling hurriedly said, "Xianggong has an official position, where can he be as comfortable as the second brother and have time to travel." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "But as soon as the words came out, she regretted it again, Pan Jiaming can be regarded as having an official position, okay, the minister of the Qin Mission, and he is also in charge of the golden Baieling Gold Mine and Xishan Horse Farm, no matter what the actual situation is, whether Pan Jiaming does things or Xiao Feng does things, at least on the surface, Pan Jiaming's position and power are much stronger than her father-in-law Li Quanyou.
"I ...... I mean, the second brother is deeply valued by the emperor, and his time is relatively free, how can a six-grade foreigner compare with you?" Pan Shuying felt that her tongue was about to be knotted, what was going on? She originally knew how to talk to this second brother and the fifth sister best, and the relationship with him had always been very good, but today the fourth sister ruined the mood of the two brothers and sisters, especially the second brother, and the atmosphere of conversation, and was messed around by the second brother, how could she have a sense of helplessness that she couldn't say well?
Pan Jiaming looked disappointed: "Didn't my brother-in-law want to travel with me? Okay, okay, big sister, are you done? I'm going to accompany Ling'er. ”
That's it? When did she finish? She hasn't gotten to the point yet, is he talking gibberish and not answering the topic, right?
"No, second brother," Pan Shuying didn't care about any speaking skills and ways of speaking, so she simply went straight to the point, "Xianggong, he wants to go to the local area to exercise for a few years, uh, listen to the father-in-law, there are a few places that have been placed outside recently." ”
"It turns out that my brother-in-law wants to be released?" Pan Jiaming suddenly realized, "That's very good, the emperor can't see it, and Prime Minister Li can't care about it, what do you want to do freely, haha, the hero sees the same thing, if it weren't for the queen's aunt, she would definitely not agree, I want to ask the emperor to let me be an official for a few years, the farther away the better." ”
Pan Shuling almost wanted to vomit blood, she understood at this time, she suddenly couldn't speak, it was simply that she couldn't talk properly with such a gentleman who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun and was afraid of being controlled by others. originally thought that Xiao Feng had been teaching outside for almost a year, and he knew some officialdom things, but he only knew how to guard against their big house. It's not surprising that Dafang drove Xiao Feng out in the early years, and if people have the chance, can they take revenge first?
Just as he was thinking about how to continue, he heard Pan Jiaming ask again: "Big sister, is it all over now?"
"......" Pan Shuying took a deep breath, "Second brother, I want to discuss this matter with you, you see, it is not difficult to release it, but it is difficult to get to a good state and county. Look, can you help my husband say good things in front of the emperor, you can go to Yuhang or Jiangzhou. "The selection and distribution of candidates and destinations are generally recommended or recommended by the Ministry of Officials, and approved and decided by the emperor.
The dispute between Li Cheng and Wei Shangshu was known to Pan Jiaming. Prime Minister Li Cheng is the right minister, the same level as the left Xiangyou, and the power is slightly lower, almost below the two people in the court, and above 10,000 people. Originally, there was a father like Prime Minister Li Cheng, and it was not difficult for Li Quanyou to find a good position, otherwise he would not have easily entered the household department at the beginning, but he got the position of a foreign officer from the fifth grade in two years.
It's just that in the middle of last year, because of a popular position, Li Cheng had a big conflict with Wei Shangshu, and even personally impeached and accused Wei Shangshu of abusing his power in the early dynasty. Wei Shangshu was also reprimanded by the emperor in public because of this, and the distant relative who was said to have been promoted by Wei Shangshu was also demoted back to his original position.
However, towards the end of the year, the emperor personally promoted the official named Lu Zheng, because Lu Zheng's excerpt on water control made the emperor's eyes light up, and he specially recruited him to Beijing to complain, and then he was directly promoted to the Ministry of Works, which was higher than the position given by Wei Shangshu before. It is also a coincidence that at that time, Liu Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, was about to be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and vacated the position.
Just imagine, there is such a disgrace, and now Prime Minister Li Cheng wants to open the back door for his son, or through the hands of Wei Shangshu, is it possible? It would be good not to directly reply to you with the sentence "abusing power for personal gain and abusing power." Although Wei Shangshu's official position and grade are lower than that of Prime Minister Li Cheng, he has the ability and upright temperament, and is very valued by the emperor, and he was promoted by Prime Minister Zuo, so he is not worthy of Prime Minister Li Cheng.
Is it okay for Yuhang or Jiangzhou? Hehe, is the Li family's heart too big, or is it too confident in him? Although Li Quanyou's personality and ability are not bad, Pan Jiaming, who has a lot of contacts with the household department, knows very well that there are quite a lot of young talents who can be promoted in the household department, and Li Quanyou is not one of the best. And Yuhang and Jiangzhou, these counties in Jiangnan are areas that the emperor values very much, and at the same time, they are also places with a lot of fertilizer and water, which are easy to make political achievements and raise moths, so even the officials and the secretaries do not dare to easily give a list of candidates, and the secretaries of various departments do not dare to easily recommend talents.
Pan Jiaming laughed out loud: "My eldest sister thinks too highly of me, I don't dare." If you want to say that you are really willing to seek the near and far, and worship the wrong Bodhisattva, my brother-in-law's father, Lord Li, is the right minister, this matter is not too easy, why do you want me to go to the emperor to find scolding? Yes, I have heard Xiao Feng explain, the prime minister and all the ministers have the right to recommend, and it is also their duty. ”
Pan Shuying hurriedly said: "I also know this, but doesn't my father-in-law want to avoid suspicion? Also, my father-in-law said that the emperor is suspicious, and he attaches great importance to the officials who are released from those places, and it is easy to recommend them, and it is easy to please the emperor's suspicion." If the emperor refuses to be rejected, or even proposes a more suitable candidate in person, the recommender is not only not good-looking, but also unhappy. "My father-in-law is the pillar of the Li family, my father-in-law is not happy, can the entire Li family be happy?
The emperor kept saying that he would not avoid relatives if he was virtuous, but his requirements for that "virtuous" were too high, so he almost didn't say that he had to be the best among the optional personnel, and he was also the best he could recognize. Once there is any mistake, the recommender will not only be reprimanded by the emperor, but also be impeached by political opponents. Wei Shangshu was an example before, he just ignored one point in the procedure, which was not considered "pro", but also did "promote virtue", and more importantly, it was within his purview.
Therefore, Prime Minister Li Cheng neither dared to recommend it himself, nor did he dare to arrange for the household department to go. Of course, people on the cusp of this storm don't dare to be. First, less than a year has passed since the example of Wei Shangshu being reprimanded, and the emperor's words are still in his ears; second, the emperor seems to be in a very bad mood recently.
Pan Shuying finished speaking in one breath and didn't find anything wrong, and when she saw the strange smile on Pan Jiaming's face, she realized that she was in a hurry and poured out all the words that Xianggong and her said directly, telling the real truth.
Pan Jiaming said coldly: "The eldest sister is not afraid that the emperor will doubt me, and I am not afraid that others will impeach me, making me look bad and even more sad? (To be continued.) )
