Volume 3 The Storm Rises Chapter 213 The Bottom of the Cauldron Draws Salary
Looking at the crown reflected through the tea, Liu An kept thinking about the pros and cons, and suddenly found that something seemed to be missing.
By the way, it's Shang Peng!
Shouldn't Shang Peng jump out and argue with Li Linqian at this time? However, as Li Linqian's sworn enemy, Shang Peng, the leader of the emperor's first line, was standing beside Li Linqian, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuation on his face, as if he had not heard what Li Linqian said at all.
Liu An frowned slightly, could it be that there was anything he hadn't seen through?
Lin Jinmin?
Yes, the key still falls on Lin Jinmin.
The reason why Liu An could guess that Shang Peng would propose the Wind Cinema was entirely because he had seen the whispers between Shang Peng and Lin Jinmin before, and at that moment, he thought that Shang Peng would probably change his mind and proposed that Lin Jinmin take up the post of Supervisor and Tisi, because this would not only divert the attention of Li Linqian and others, but also win over the Wind Cinema, which was a good move for Shang Peng.
But obviously Shang Peng thought farther than Liu An, he never thought that the Wind Cinema could win the position of the Inspector of the Commander, the reason why he nominated Lin Jinmin was just a matter of convenience, not only to sell the face of the Inspector Cinema, but also to achieve his goal, the position of the Inspector of the Inspector was intended to be given to the Queen Mother's party, because the Queen Mother's party had not yet played the hole card of Ling Sheng Tianxing, Shang Peng threw out the bait of the Wind Cinema, just to explore the truth of the Queen Mother's party and see the determination of the Queen Mother's party to the Kunlong Army.
Seeing Liu An's deep gaze at him, Shang Peng smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Ling Sheng Tianxing was originally responsible for supervising the world, if he was appointed as a deacon to personally serve as the supervisor and the secretary, he would also be a good candidate. ”
Shang Peng's words shocked many people's jaws, especially Wang Liping, who was still standing in the center, he never expected that Shang Peng would echo Li Linqian's proposal, but since Shang Peng did not object, he was not willing to miss this opportunity to win back a game, and hurriedly said: "What Lord Shang said is extremely true, supervising the world is originally Ling Sheng Tianxing's duty, and it is very suitable for Deacon Ren to take the position of supervising the secretary, the emperor, the minister seconded Lord Li's performance. ”
The ministers seconded the performance of Lord Li. ”
A uniform voice sounded in the Qiming Palace, and the officials of the Queen Mother's party were smiling one by one, and finally made them raise their eyebrows.
However, before Liu An's reply, Shang Peng, who was standing at the front, turned around with a smile, and said with a smile in front of everyone: "Colleagues, slow down, the old man still hasn't finished speaking." ”
Li Linqian has been staring at Shang Peng with a deep frown, he doesn't know what kind of medicine Shang Peng's gourd sells, it stands to reason that Shang Peng should oppose his proposal, and then put forward a candidate for the Heavenly Sword Academy, but he didn't expect Shang Peng to directly agree to his proposal, which made Li Linqian a little confused.
"What else does Lord Shang have to say? Now that he is above the court meeting, in front of the emperor, he can't go back on his word. Wang Liping stared at Shang Peng tightly, for fear that Shang Peng would betray his words and deny what he had just said.
Shang Peng didn't care that Wang Liping used Liu An to pressure him, and still said with a smile: "Hehe, Lord Wang, although the old man is a little old, he is not enough to commit such a foolish thing. ”
Wang Liping asked, "What does Lord Shang mean?"
Shang Peng did not answer Wang Liping, but turned to Liu An and hugged his fist and said: "Your Majesty, although Ling Sheng Tianxing has the responsibility of supervising the world, but after all, Ling Sheng Tianxing is full of some strange people, and it is overkill to let them do some errands and inquiries, so the minister proposed that the Supervision Department set up another supervision supervisor, mainly responsible for the supervision of those ordinary officials along the road, so that it can not only reduce the workload of the supervision department, but also improve the responsibilities of the supervision department, isn't it the best of both worlds." ”
Decentralization!
Li Linqian instantly understood Shang Peng's intentions, which was exactly the same as the establishment of two deputy marshals he proposed before, Shang Peng's purpose was also to divide the Supervision Department into two, the Queen Mother controlled half of it, and the Emperor controlled half of it, this plan can be described as very poisonous, so that even if the Queen Mother and her party got the position of supervising the governor, they also lost the role it should play, because it is impossible for the Secretary to be against the governor everywhere.
Thinking about the key point, Li Linqian hurriedly hugged his fist at Liu An and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Shang's words are inappropriate. ”
"Oh, Li Aiqing, what's wrong with what Shang Aiqing said?" Liu An put down the teacup and stared at Li Linqian with a smile on his face, Shang Peng's plan can be described as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and one move hit the key point of the Queen Mother's party, he wanted to see how Li Linqian could turn around.
Not only Liu An, at this time, the eyes of everyone in the Qiming Hall were all focused on Li Linqian, they all wanted to hear how Li Linqian argued with Shang Peng, today's court meeting can be said to be turbulent, maybe the party of the Queen Mother, who has always been powerful, will die down after today, and will never return to the glory of the past.
Li Lin turned around and arched his hand towards Shang Peng, and said in a low tone to Liu An: "First, just as Lord Shang rejected the minister's proposal before, if the Supervision Department sets up two chief officials, if there is a difference of opinion between the two, will it be up to the chief or to the governor? ”
After pondering for a while, Li Linqian continued: "Second, what Lord Shang said before was to let the Supervision Department inquire about the officials who were handling affairs along the way, if according to what Lord Shang said, every small official was questioned by the Supervision Department, then how should the local order be maintained? Isn't it that where the Kunlong Army passed, everyone was terrified and did not dare to do anything, thus destroying the local officials and causing unnecessary troubles to the locality. ”
"The third one... Li Linqian's words did not continue to speak, because with the experience of Wu Kuo before, Li Linqian was a little worried that he would follow in Wu Kuo's footsteps after saying this, so he was thinking quickly about how to protect himself as much as possible.
Li Linqian's sudden pause whetted everyone's appetite, no one who can enter the Qiming Hall is a fool, although Li Linqian's first two are also reasonable, but it is not so easy to reject Shang Peng's proposal, so this third point is particularly important, everyone wants to know how Li Linqian will break the situation, which is related to the Queen Mother's party in the future in the court.
"Li Aiqing, what is the third point? But what is the unspeakable hidden?" Liu An stared at Li Linqian with interest, it was not easy to refute Shang Peng by thinking of the above two points in such a short time, I don't know what this third point would be?
Li Linqian lifted his hem, knelt on the ground, raised his fist above his head, and said to Liu An: "I'm afraid what the minister says next will offend Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”
Liu An smiled and said: "Hehe, as long as it is reasonable, I forgive you for your innocence, but if you are like Wu Kuo who is just talking nonsense with just his brain, then it is no wonder that I am not emotional." ”
Li Linqian kowtowed and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty." ”
Liu An waved his hand and said to Li Linqian, "Get up and talk." ”
Li Linqian stood up, and after straightening out his court clothes, he said to Liu An with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the original intention of the establishment of the Kunlong Army is to sweep away the rogue horse thieves in my Dacheng Kingdom, and return the dawn of the world to a bright future?"
Liu An nodded and said with a straight face: "Not bad." ”
Li Linqian took a deep breath, and then said: "Then the third point that the minister wants to say is that the Kunlong Army established today is a bit heavy-minded, and the role played by the Supervision Department is too prominent, so that the minister can't tell whether the Kunlong Army is to suppress bandits and eliminate thieves, or to sweep away dissidents. ”
Bang dang ~ cross la la la la ~ The teacup on the dragon desk fell to the ground and rolled down the steps, the sound of the sound echoing in the silent Qiming Hall and tugging at everyone's heartstrings.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, staring at Li Linqian who was standing proudly under the steps in disbelief, they couldn't imagine that Li Linqian would dare to say such a rebellious thing, the Kunlong Army is an army that Liu An has been planning for a long time and has been forcibly established after many obstacles, and Li Linqian actually said that Liu An's purpose in establishing the Kunlong Army is to eliminate dissidents.
Could it be that Li Linqian is crazy? These words can be said in private, but where is it now? It is in the Qiming Palace, at the court meeting, and if he makes such remarks, even if Liu An immediately beheads Li Linqian, it is not an exaggeration.
But Li Linqian was not crazy, after saying his third point, Li Linqian quickly crawled on the ground, waiting for Liu An's fall.
The teacup that rolled down to the ground seemed to be full of spirituality, and it went down the stairs step by step, and it also wanted to see carefully who dared to be so bold in the Qiming Palace, and finally the teacup stopped next to Li Linqian's cheek, and the surface full of cracks seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and with a click, the teacup turned into pieces, as if it was heralding something.
Looking at the teacup that fell on Li Linqian's face, Xiao Yuanzi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly shouted in a loud voice: "Bold Li Linqian, dare to say such a big rebellious remark!"
"What the minister said is from the bottom of his heart, and I hope that the emperor will see it!" Li Linqian's face was close to the ground, and the sound he made was also the sound of an urn, but he couldn't hear any timidity in it, but his slightly trembling hands still showed his nervousness at this time.
