In the palace of Nuoda, Zhu Yunwen was still in the first place, frowning and worrying about the candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet, and he didn't even pay attention to Yu Xin and others coming in with six books.

"Ministers, see my emperor's holy bow Jin'an."

The singing of several people in unison woke Zhu Yunwen up, and the hand holding his forehead waved lightly in the air.

"Sit down, no need to be polite."

After the waiter added a stool to a few people to sit down, Zhu Yunwen spoke: "The old man of the violent pavilion is gone?" ”

"Yes."

"Hmm."

Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes and recuperated, but he didn't say anything more, and the hall fell into silence again.

The emperor didn't open his mouth, and these people didn't have the cheekiness to take the initiative to mention this matter, they all sat in their respective positions and pretended to be wooden people. Yang Shiqi's eyes were sharp, and when he found that Yang Pu, who was in charge of drafting the edict before the emperor on weekdays, disappeared, a trace of suspicion flashed on his face.

In the main hall, except for the occasional crackling of charcoal burning in the stove, there was no murmur.

"The old man of the Violent Pavilion has returned to his hometown, the position of the scholar of Fengtian Temple cannot be vacant, and my side is also undecided about this candidate, you are all the pillars of the government, let's discuss it."

Who will sit in this position, Zhu Yunwen actually has a fixed number in his heart, and he is still more inclined to Yu Xin.

Although Yu Xin is not a hardcore emperor, but in the end he is still loyal to national affairs and has the ability, use it for a few years first, Yang Shiqi might as well exercise for a few years, just take over.

Although he knew it in his heart, he still wanted to push this question out and kick it to these ministers of one or two grades, and take this opportunity to re-examine the political pattern in the court.

And when they heard that the emperor wanted them to elect themselves, the big guy's face changed slightly.

What does this mean, Emperor?

Do you want to take this opportunity to see what friends are in the court?

Several important ministers who had a good relationship in private all looked at each other and hesitated.

But if the emperor really didn't make up his mind, let the big guy recommend, and didn't take this opportunity to push his big brother up, wouldn't it be in vain?

The emperor is a conspirator.

"Since no one is willing to speak first, the minister throws bricks and leads the jade and fights bravely."

The first one to stand up was Xie Jin, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the big guy had a number in his heart.

"The minister recommends Yang Ge Lao."

It's a fellow countryman.

Xie Jin spoke with full confidence, and did not have the slightest intention of avoiding suspicion: "During the period of Your Majesty's imperial conquest, the cabinet and His Royal Highness Yan Shizi were in charge of state affairs, large and small, and the affairs were handled by Yang Ge Lao, who was conscientious and conscientious, and often reviewed state affairs and late at night, so that the center was in order from the place. Although the minister and Yang Ge Lao are classmates, but the virtuous do not avoid relatives, so for the country's affairs, the minister proposed that Yang Ge Lao Jin Tiandian University Scholar. ”

Zhu Yunwen's index finger on the big case jumped slightly.

"The minister has a different opinion."

Insight Jin couldn't wait to pop out, and Yan Zhenzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't hold his breath and stood up.

It is true that during the period of supervision, Yang Ge Lao had the merit of maneuvering, but it has always been Yu Ge Lao's commitment to the important matters of logistics and the coordination of local supplies to the southwest and southeast.

Lai His Majesty is blessed by heaven, the two places are all together, Yu Ge Lao is meritorious and the country, and since the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Yu Ge Lao has been serving as the head of the household for ten years, the national strength is thriving, and the local government warehouse treasury is increasingly abundant, which is the work of Yu Ge Lao's regulation, and Yu Ge Lao is the second assistant of the cabinet, and for more than four years, he has also cooperated with the Tyrant Pavilion Lao to complement each other, so the minister recommended Yu Ge Lao. ”

What is the relationship between the two?

This thought turned around in Zhu Yunwen's mind, and he recalled the biographies of these two people he had seen two years ago.

When Yu Xin was only the head of the household department, Yan Zhenzhi had not yet become an official, and was elected as the grain chief of Zhejiang because of his huge family background, responsible for the transportation of tax grain, but it was exactly the right match for Yu Xin's position.

That Yan Zhen went straight to the court as an official, it is possible that Yu Xin recommended him, and directly bypassed the imperial examination, so Yu Xin has the grace of knowing him.

"The minister also recommends Yu Ge Lao."

As Yu Xin's old subordinate for many years and a hardcore confidant, even if Xia Yuanji doesn't stand up, everyone knows which faction he belongs to, so he simply supports his old leader.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Mao Tai, the secretary of the ministry, also stood up, he and Yu Xin were the same scholars, and they wore the same pants as Yan Zhenzhi.

The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, the three major departments of Shangshu were all jointly recommended, and Zhu Yunwen glanced at it, and he could see the excitement that flashed on Yu Xin's ancient well without waves from time to time.

"What about Elder Fang Ge's opinion?"

is also a pavilion assistant, Zhu Yunwen also wants to see what attitude this Fang Xiaoru can have.

The emperor is too unqualified!

What do you ask me for advice, can I say that I want to be myself?

Fang Xiaoru was sad in his heart, and he also knew that in the emperor's heart, he had been eliminated, so he was a little excited at the moment, stood up and arched his hand: "The minister also recommends Yu Ge Lao." ”

Zhu Yunwen has a number in his heart, and now the only ones who have not spoken are Qi Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Qi Tai is the minister of his own hidden residence, but he has not been reused in the past few years, and his sense of existence is not strong, because the authority of the military department is now relatively simple, mainly focusing on the roster and recruitment work, and the time to stay in the center is only from the end of the year to the beginning of the New Year, and the summer and autumn seasons are basically wandering around all parts of the country.

He didn't have much friendship with Yu Xin and Yang Shiqi, Zhu Yunwen glanced at him, and knew that Qi Tai was not going to speak today.

Wang Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the confidant of Tyrant Zhao, the former Zuo Tongzheng of the General Administration, and after the death of Zheng Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was promoted by Tyrant Zhao. He is also Yu Xin's gang.

Zhang Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, this is an exception, he is the second year of Jianwen, and he was promoted to the left waiter of the Criminal Department from the position of the Zuo Yushi of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court, Yang Shiqi had not yet entered the cabinet that year, and Violent Zhao was also the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he was very likely to be very depressed.

In this way, among the six books, five Shangshu have a deep or shallow friendship with Yu Xin.

As Zhu Yunwen expected, Wang Qian and Zhang Chun stood up one after another, and they both stood up to Yu Xin without surprise.

"Since everyone has spoken, Qi Qing's family, you can also talk about it."

Zhu Yunwen named Qi Tai, the minister of his own mansion back then.

Qi Tai suddenly woke up from sleep, stood up, bowed down and said, "The minister also recommends Yu Ge Lao." ”

Fang Xiaoru and the six co-branded!

Zhu Yunwen's face froze.

Yu Xin's face also froze.

Yang Shiqi's face showed a hint of an imperceptible smile.

"It seems that Yu Qing, your promotion to the Heavenly Temple University is the desire of the people."

Zhu Yunwen looked at Yu Xin and found that the latter's face was no longer confident, but covered with cold sweat.

The emperor wants to take the opportunity of electing the first assistant of the cabinet to take a look at the division of friends above the court, and where are the friends in the result? It's all his new people!

What would the emperor think?

At this moment, Yu Xin knew that he had failed!

He lost to Yang Shiqi.

He can't be the head of the cabinet, he is the head of the cabinet, he is sending himself to the guillotine!

"I'm ashamed."

Yu Xin stood up tremblingly: "The posture of rotten wood, where it is worthy of the position of first assistant, it is just the wrong love of your colleagues." His Majesty made it clear that the ministers were not worthy of the position. ”

If you don't coward, Yu Xin refused directly without even the slightest hesitation, no matter how much he wanted to sit in this position, he didn't dare to sit down.

"Since Yu Ge is old and humble, then I will give this position to Yang Shiqi."

Zhu Yunwen stood up and said indifferently: "That's it, the proposed purpose, the general administration department is clear, Yang Shiqi is a scholar of the Heavenly Palace, Yu Xin is still a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, and Xie Jin has been added to the cabinet." ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, and a mountain behind him shouted long live.

Xie Jin knelt on the ground and glanced at Yang Shiqi with his eyes, his eyes were not full of envy, but full of admiration and admiration.

This Yang Shiqi's method is so clever.

I still remember that on the night of the Great Dynasty Meeting's speech, I went to Yang Shiqi's mansion to pay a visit, and when I talked about the cabinet, Yang Shiqi was in his chest, as if he had already caught it.

That night, he stupidly asked Yang Shiqi where he got his confidence.

"Among the six departments, most of them are old with Yu Xin, and among the ministers, Fang Xiaoru and Tyrant Zhao and Yu Xin are hardcore allies, competing for the position of first assistant, why is Shiqi so confident?"

Yang Shiqi smiled slightly: "Qi Tai is the minister of His Majesty's Hidden Mansion, and I am the Imperial Party, this person can fight for it, and Zhang Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Jing Qing have an old relationship, and they can also fight for it." ”

"It's just two people, and there's little hope."

"If these two people recommend me, it will naturally be slim, what if I let the two of them recommend Yu Xin?"

Pushing the window to look at the moon, Yang Shiqi has a style of pointing out the country.

"In this way, the six departments and that Fang Xiaoru all recommend Yu Xin, you are borrowing Yu Dunben's eight hundred guts, does he dare to be this first assistant?"

Xie Jindeng suddenly realized, raised his thumb and praised: "Shiqi is clever." ”

In the end, Xie Jin was puzzled again.

"In that case, why does Shiqi want me to be the first to stand up and recommend you?"

"You can't be too obvious, can you?"

Yang Shiqi pointed at his hand: "You and I are fellow villagers, even you go to support that Yu Xin, doesn't it make Your Majesty see through my tricks at a glance?" Let you be the first to stand up, but the people behind you are all ministers who support Yu Xin, which will give His Majesty the illusion that the whole hall is his fellow party of Yu Xin.

It will make Your Majesty feel that except for my fellow townsman Yang, there is no one above the court to support me, so that for the sake of balance, you can enter the cabinet if you solve the gentry. ”

On playing with the brain, where is Xie Jin's opponent Yang Shiqi, he is overjoyed at the moment, and he likes it three times in a row, so he naturally wants everything to be Yang Shiqi's head.

The scenes of that night are still in front of him, and today, as Yang Shiqi expected, Yu Xin did not dare to take over, so he Yang Shiqi picked up this gift for nothing!

In the political part, in addition to the old guy who has eaten food for more than 60 years, he can still fight with Yang Shiqi, and Yu Xin lost to him Yang Shiqi, which is really not wronged!
