Chapter Seventy-Three: Ranking Nine Qings
Chang'an, Beijing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dismissal of the old prime minister Yu Zi from his official post shook the entire government and the opposition, and this incident came too suddenly and was too unacceptable.
Yu Zi was an official in three dynasties and two dynasties as ministers, and made unparalleled contributions to the stability of Chu Ting's political power, and was even more loyal to Chu Ting, never had two hearts, for Chu Ting's country, for the rule of the Xiang family, he worked hard, but he didn't expect to be dismissed from his official position in his later years, and this fate made a group of officials feel cold.
But some people don't think so.
Sikong Yan Weizhong, riding the captain Zhong Lifang, Taicang Quanhan.
Yan Weizhong thinks that he has not been benevolent to Yu Zisui's resignation, he is thinking about how to recommend himself to Emperor Mao Sui to serve as prime minister, although Sikong ranks among the three princes and has the power to supervise hundreds of officials, but it is still one point worse than the prime minister. Not to mention the others, let's just say that the prime minister has the right to promote officials under Jiuqing, and it can also make the power surnamed Yan go to the next level, as long as he masters the grassroots level, he can move casually, and it is difficult for the top level not to fall. Fortunately, Yu Zisui was confused, and he didn't know how to use his position to control the government, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like today.
Yan Weizhong communicated with the emperor's attendants to understand the emperor's intentions, and at the same time used the officials attached to him to prepare to play the emperor's recommendation for the throne and actively planned.
And Zhong Lifang is not interested in the position of prime minister, he still knows how many catties and taels he has, relying on his father's Mengyin and the relationship with the emperor, he is already satisfied with the official to the captain. He had already expected Yu Zi's result today, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and the emperor was too neat.
As for the candidate for the next prime minister, no matter who it is, it is all linked to him, because the position of prime minister is too important.
But no matter who it is, it must not be Yan Weizhong, and there is a full letter.
Needless to say, the former has a hostile relationship with himself, and although the latter expresses his attachment to himself, people's hearts are unpredictable, and if he becomes prime minister, he will inevitably suppress himself in turn. Thinking about the scene of Cheng being respectful to the captain, it is really very unreasonable, and I feel that something is wrong all over my body.
Then write to Your Majesty, the time for the whole letter to come to the court is too short, if you are directly promoted from the post of Taicang to the prime minister, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced, and it is not logical, relying on the relationship between me and the emperor, I believe that the emperor will adopt his own opinions. It's just that this Yan Weizhong is a bit difficult to do, it's just how to curb Yan Weizhong, just ask the whole letter.
As for the whole letter, he turned a deaf ear to the discussions and speculations from all walks of life in the court, and waited and watched the changes, when he should go to the court, he should accompany the emperor, and he didn't ask a word about what the emperor thought in his heart, and showed a mentality to the emperor that I would do what you said, and completely obeyed the emperor's will, which made Xiang Long very comfortable. Perhaps only in front of Quan Han did he feel that he was the emperor.
However, Quan Han didn't think that the emperor really promoted himself to prime minister, even if the emperor wanted him to be unwilling.
If it weren't for the fact that he was never pampered and arrogant, and he was courteous to other officials in the court, I am afraid that he would not be able to gain a foothold in the court for a long time, if he suddenly became the head of a hundred officials, he would definitely become the target of the public, even if he was protected by the emperor, he would sooner or later be made into a storm below, and then the emperor would have dismissed himself for the sake of the stability of political power, leaving a laughing stock in vain.
Emperor Xin also understands this principle, and did not mention the matter of letting Quan Han serve as prime minister, which made Quan Han a lot easier, otherwise according to the emperor's temperament, it would cost a lot of lips and tongues to insist on doing things.
Yan Weizhong was actively preparing for the appointment of prime minister, Zhong Lifang was thinking of a complete reason for the emperor not to be the prime minister, and the hundred officials looked forward to the palace, but the emperor did not see any movement for a long time, but summoned the whole letter into the palace from time to time.
This made Zhong Lifang very uncomfortable, if it was in the past, it would definitely be him who was summoned into the palace from time to time, not Quan Han; At the same time, he was also worried, could it be that the emperor really had the heart to let Quan Han be the prime minister? Zhong Lifang, who was in a hurry, hurriedly entered the palace and wrote to the emperor for his immature reasons, but the emperor was expressionless, and he didn't say anything, and directly asked Zhong Lifang to retreat. Zhong Lifang was terrified, this was a situation that had never been seen before, and then he knew that he was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but regret it, but it was already beyond his reach.
Baiguan also guessed. However, most people have an attitude of not waiting to see Quan Han as prime minister, and some people are ready to unite with hundreds of officials to write a letter and let the emperor think twice, in fact, it is to force the emperor to retract his life, and the person who does this is a strict and strict person, and his reason for encouraging the hundred officials to jointly play is much more persuasive than Zhong Lifang, an uneducated person.
But when the hundred officials made these complete preparations, they did not find that the emperor did not reveal whether he wanted to serve as prime minister from beginning to end.
Just when the hundred officials had already written the excerpt and lined up to go to the Daming Palace, a holy decree was passed down from the palace gate: Dasi Nong is old, and often suffers from illness, it is not suitable to work again, and he is given a thousand hectares of fertile land, a mansion, 100,000 gold and silver, and he returns to his hometown and orders Taicang Quanhan to take over as Dasi Nong.
The hundred officials were confused by this sudden holy decree, and it took a while to react, and heard that the whole letter was not the prime minister, but the chief farmer, under this relative gap, the hundred officials were much more balanced in their hearts, and they thought that the whole letter was not bad on weekdays, and the ability was also there, His Majesty promoted his official, which was very in line with the cleanup, but the whole letter was ranked in Jiuqing after the letter, but it was not just Taicang, and it should also pay attention to talking and doing things.
The folds of hundreds of officials became waste paper, and the early dynasty, which should have had a fierce atmosphere, was dispersed under the four words of retreat without incident.
And the emperor never mentioned the matter of who would be the prime minister, and even if someone played it, he only got the emperor's answer of "discuss it again in the future".
It wasn't until a few days later that the hundred officials reacted, and the emperor and Quan Han came to retreat into advance.
first showed his intention to appoint Quanhan as the prime minister, which made it unacceptable to the hundred officials, and then suddenly appointed the whole letter as the big Si Nong, under this contrast, the hundred officials suddenly felt acceptable again. Otherwise, if there is no pretense of the prime minister, I am afraid that there will be people who oppose it if he directly asks Quanhan to be the big Si Nong, which is good, the wood has been completed, in order to maintain the prestige of the emperor, the hundred officials cannot force the emperor to make a change of order.
And there is also a very terrible thing, the emperor has not been appointed prime minister for a long time, and now he is coming out again, maybe it is to pave the way for the whole letter to ascend to the throne in the future.
The officials began to panic.
I heard that before this, Yu Zisui and Quan Han turned enemies into friends and their relationship improved, and some people who used to be Yu Zisui began to express their attachment to Quan Han; some people directly switched to Yan Weizhong because they despised Quan Han's wild road background; and some people took a neutral attitude.
As for Zhong Lifang, he lives by hugging the emperor's thigh, and now the emperor is close to Quan Han, although he is not estranged from Zhong Lifang, but he is far from being as pampered as before, Ren Zhong Lifang has a lot of research and is good at the way of accompanying the king, but he is also powerless, he can only watch Quan Han gradually get out of control, regretting the decision of Wolf Mengguan at the beginning.
Since then, Quan Han has sat firmly in Dasi Nong, ranking in Jiuqing, and can be regarded as truly entering the power center of Chu Ting.
