Shu Changshi nodded, walked slowly to the table, and then said: "This edict was announced by His Majesty facing the south this morning, and the will is divided into four paragraphs. ”

"Facing the south and proclaiming", this is the highest level in the oracle, and it needs to be modified before the holy decree is issued.

"Decree, I have been on the throne for twenty years, the first ten years are stable and the last ten years are the hundred years of the empire. The climate of the world has cold and heat, since the empire three or five years ago, the improvement of a thing, the cold and ease for two years, all the disadvantages are highlighted, but the support of the ministers, I feel very powerful, hereby, Li Hua moved to the crown prince and the prince, Mo Hu to the prince and the prince. ”

Saying this, Shu Changshou paused very interestingly, and gave the two of them the opportunity to chant 'Long live' thanksgiving.

After the drama of the loyal ministers and good generals was finished, Shu Changzhi said: "Li Taishi and Mo Taibao congratulate the two. ”

Li Huaqian and Mo Hu should have known about this, and they were not overjoyed, and after thanking them, including Mo Haige, they all congratulated, and the official rank of the two of them has since been promoted from the second rank to the first rank.

In less than a few minutes, everyone returned to their original positions, and Shu Chang said, "Your Majesty's will is not over yet. As soon as the words fell, he changed his tone and continued: "Your Excellency, the reform highlights that its problems need to be solved urgently, and the reform policy should be implemented. There was a vacancy in the political hall, and Taifu, Yi'er, and Hua Tianxiong talked about supplementation. In addition, there are tentatively 4 deputy posts in the government hall and the military government, and 2 deputy posts in the cabinet. ”

This is the end of the second paragraph, and His Majesty's habit is like this, and as soon as the paragraph is completed, it must be agreed. Although His Majesty moved to Xiyuan, in fact, how could the remote control ability be weak.

Hua Wang: "Premier Hua, please introduce the situation." ”

Hua Tianxiong stepped forward and saluted the throne where no one was seated, and then said: "The deputy position of the political hall now includes me and Zhang Zhuo, Yan Sheng, and Pei Zhiyuan. The heads of the seven ministries under the government hall are represented by deputies, and the heads of five ministries are held by cabinet officials on a part-time basis. In addition to the main and deputy positions, the rest of the divisions below are also seriously lacking in personnel, and the Criminal Department has not hired a few new personnel for more than four years. ”

After speaking, Hua Tianxiong straightened out his thoughts again in his heart and said: "The arrangement of court personnel must go through the cabinet, and the Taifu also helped me solve a lot of problems, some vacancies are concurrently served by cabinet officials in accordance with the emperor's instructions, and there are 13 ministerial-level full-time positions and more than 20 ministerial-level deputy positions. ”

Hua Wang: "There are so many things missing?" ”

Mo Haige explained: "In the past two years, many old people have returned to their hometowns, especially Prime Minister Ji Bin, and many students who followed him have also become scholars. According to the usual practice, the head of the department needs to be appointed by His Majesty, and for the past two years, His Majesty has only allowed the same level of the cabinet to take over, so there is a lot of vacancy. Your Highness, if we set people today, I'm afraid it's unrealistic, so it's better to set a general direction, right? ”

Hua Wang: "You speak." ”

Mo Haige: "Premier Hua went back to write the details, and according to the usual practice, the chief and deputy positions of the department were determined first, and then the others were studied. Overall grasp, according to the moral character, debriefing and other evaluation, as appropriate from the provinces to transfer a group of officials, according to the recommendation, seniority, etc., from the cabinet and other court officials to serve, according to the career, ability, promotion of the original department of the ability of the officials, during this period, by the cabinet assistant, you see feasible. ”

King Hua nodded, and added: "This matter is mainly based on the imperial court, supplemented by the original subordination, and followed by the provincial adjustment, what does this Taifu think?" ”

Mo Haige: "His Royal Highness King Hua is thoughtful. ”

King Hua: "Where is the military government, does Your Majesty have any will?" ”

Mo Hu interjected: "The military government is promoted, according to the usual practice, the military government proposes a list, and His Majesty appoints it." Nowadays, there are fewer vacancies within the military government, which is different from the political affairs hall, and after I draft it, it will be reported to the political committee for discussion. ”

Li Huaqian: "I have no objection, but many permanent servants can be turned into officials, and you have to consider it." ”

Mo Haige nodded, turned his head to look at Wu Peihang and Hua Tianxiong, and the two also expressed no objection.

"Go on, Shu Changshi. We need to wait for this to happen, and we can report it as usual. King Hua said.

Shu Changshou nodded to show that he knew, walked to the throne again and stood still, and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall has been absent for two years, and the international community has always regarded him as the head of the imperial government. After the promulgation, the Prime Minister of the Council of Ministers will be the head of the Council of Judges, and will act as the representatives of the Council on behalf of the State. ”

In order to represent the national government, these four words are a big impact on several people, but when this sentence comes out, it can only point to one person as the prime minister of the political hall, and this person is precisely the one who is the least able to threaten His Majesty, and this person is King Hua.

Li Huaqian: "Shu Changshi, Your Majesty has no other points. ”

Shu Changshi: "The Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs is a real job from the first grade, and His Majesty's words can be recommended by himself." His Majesty also instructed that since the day he ascended the throne, there have been only five officials in the internal and external courts at most, and there has never been a redundancy. ”

Li Huaqian: "Taifu, you are an outsider, you can set a tone." ”

Mo Haige: "I recommend His Royal Highness King Hua, although King Hua has no official rank, King Hua's prince is the prince of Wuyue, which should be from the first product, therefore, in line with the requirements, the minister recommends His Royal Highness King Hua as the Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs." ”

"Wait, reconsideration."

The ministers know well, tacit understanding, and the process is a matter of course.

The position of the Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs in the Political Affairs Hall has been the first assistant of the imperial court earlier, and the cabinet minister is the second assistant of the imperial court, and now the two auxiliaries are missing, then the vacant Taifu has become the actual head of the imperial court, if the Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs of the Political Affairs Hall is entitled by King Hua, there will be no obvious change in the current political review, after all, King Hua's name is not justified in participating in politics for a long time, that is, he has given a real position, this Taifu is still the first assistant in substance, and the power and responsibility in the hands of the rest of you will not be affected at all, and the biggest impact is just some affairs of the foreign court. This is the best and best option.

Shu Changshou said again: "Your Majesty has instructed these two people to speak widely, and they can first consider the deputy position of the military government. However, these two people must have military merits, especially those who have made achievements in foreign military affairs back then, and their ranks are also in line with those of the second grade. ”

Mo Haige: "It is inconvenient for me to participate in the affairs of this military government, so please ask Mo Hu to mention it himself." ”

Mo Hu was stunned for a moment and said: "Most of the military government is idle from the second grade, Your Majesty wants to be idle?" ”

Shu Changshou: "Your Majesty didn't give careful orders, it's better for the marshal to decide."

Mo Hu smiled: "Everyone knows that the chairman of the military government is the second grade, and the vice chairman is naturally from the second grade, and now there has been no vice chairman for three years." The establishment of this is a holy move by His Majesty. According to the military rank, from the second rank is the rank of general, according to the practice of the ministry, it should be given priority to choose from this, now there are 7 people with the rank of general in the empire, in addition to the four princes, there are also Shi Quan, Xia Ze, Qi Bei three, General Xia Ze Everyone knows, he is over eighty years old, I also met a few days ago, rickets are very powerful, and it can't be done without crutches. Shi Quan and Qi Bei are in their sixties and are older. However, Shi Quan was given by His Majesty because of the Du Zuo Sickle case, and Qi Bei resigned from his post because of the Wanghai Province corruption case and went to teach at the Military and Political University. The other four princes are both military and political, this belongs to His Majesty's will, not His Majesty's will, and it is useless for us to talk about it. Shu Changshi, you are close to Your Majesty, you say, am I right? ”

Shu Changshi: "Your Majesty's will is that there are three grades in Beijing and two grades and above outside Beijing, and you will talk about it." ”

Mo Hu seemed to get a clear answer, and said: "If this is the case, I have two people who can be promoted, one is Liu Zhenghang, the head of the Military Command Department of the Military Government, and the other is Qi Tianshun, Chief of Staff of the Military Government. ”

Li Huaqian: "Liu Zhenghang was the commander of the third company of the Daywolf Battalion back then, and Qi Tianshun was the commander of the second battalion of your Dragon and Tiger Regiment, and now they have all reached the position of the head of the Military Command Department?" ”

Mo Hu: "Except for Taifu, who is not an old man from the Southern Expedition, we are all here, if we take the previous small position to see today's position, it will be a little boring." I was just a battalion commander, and you were just a guard commander. Besides, His Majesty also said back then that anyone who followed the southern expedition had the merit of following the dragon. ”

Li Huaqian: "Your Majesty followed the example of Germany and Britain to carry out military reform, not to let the military government become your family system, the squad leaders in the day wolf camp back then are all the commanders of small divisions today, is this from your work or from Your Majesty's work?" I think Xia Yan, the head of the logistics department of the military government, is feasible, when he was young, His Majesty said that he has the style of a general, and he is still a hero who fights against foreign powers. Another governor of the Hannam Provincial Military District, Jun Xuanyun, is a descendant of General Xuanzhan. ”

Mo Hu: "Lord Li, you have to be responsible for saying this, now my Central Military Region is working in the name of the Imperial Military Government, Your Majesty originally divided the five major military regions, but you are still in the Ministry of Cadres, and you also started to change the military reform, the first chairman of the Central Military Sergeant Office is you, okay, when I take over, what will become of the military government?" I speak who listens ......"

Mohag: "Alright, just after receiving the grace of God, do you want to shake your majesty?" Zu Xun, the army does not disturb the government, the government does not interfere with the army, although I have dealt with some excerpts of the military government, just to the end of the matter, in terms of personnel, the two of you are familiar with each other, I do not have an opinion, I think, in terms of candidates, the three generals and the four princes should also be considered, and the promotion of each person should also be considered, do not be arbitrary. ”

Wu Peihang: "Taifu is polite, I want the officials to recommend some people to enter the palace, I don't know what your majesty's opinion is." ”

Shu Changshi: "Everyone's opinion. ”

Wu Peihang glanced at Mo Haige and said, "Cai Wenbo, Secretary General of the Central Secretariat of the Imperial Party, and the other is Ji Ze of the Cabinet. ”

After Mo Haige heard this, he said: "Ji Ze is not proper, Tianxiong, do you have any recommendations?" ”

Hua Tianxiong: "I didn't. ”

Mo Haige: "Peihang, these two people are not suitable, wait for the next court, we will discuss the positions of these two people with the ministry, it is time to get promoted, but we can't enter this room." ”

Wu Peihang: "Taifu, I know. ”

Mohag: "We don't have an opinion on the two positions of the military government. ”

Shu Changshi: "Can you recommend it properly?" ”

Mo Haige: "It's proper, Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs, recommend His Royal Highness King Hua, two military government positions, three generals, four princes, and Liu Zhenghang, Qi Tianshun, Xia Yan, and Xuanyun." Huawang, what do you think? ”

Mo Huyi frowned and said, "It's not just the military government, but also the political affairs hall, isn't it?" ”

Shu Changshou: "Your Majesty has instructed you to consider the deputy position of the military government first." The marshal doesn't need to listen to the explanation of what this means. ”

Mo Hu: "What does this mean, obviously one is mentioned by the political hall and the military government, why have both of them become deputy positions in the military government?" ”

Shu Changshi: "It's the old slave who can't tell the story clearly, and it's the 'deputy of the military government or the political hall'." ”

Mo Hu was still about to speak, and Shu Changshi asked with a smile: "Marshal, Your Majesty's will and instructions are all deliberate, meaningful, and you need to understand." His Royal Highness King Hua, what do you say? ”

King Hua seemed to be distracted, and after listening to Shu Changshi's words, he immediately eased up, nodded, and said, "Yes, there is a deep meaning." ”

In fact, when King Hua listened to their discussions, he himself had been silent, he had not received the express indication of His Majesty, and now he was still a little excited when he heard the nomination of the Taifu. I helped approve the excerpts of these days, and the name is not right, although His Majesty gave these people a hint that there is no title of prison after all, and everything is zero when it comes to the ceremony, if there is the position of prime minister, then it is another matter, not to mention the continuation of power, it can be regarded as the actual right to speak in this court.

King Hua then said excitedly: "Report it to Your Majesty." ”
