Lin Yu also called Zhou Lin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and Wu You, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, according to the emperor's wishes, during which they all asked what the specific matter was, but Lin Yu did not tell them, just let them go over to see the emperor, and there will be such a clear notice at that time.

Helplessly, they had no choice but to pass, although they didn't know what it was, but there would always be such an attitude, and they couldn't delay.

"Your Majesty." Several people also visited together.

"You don't have to be polite, do you know what is the matter with letting you come over today?" Zhu Xuanxuan asked.

"The ministers don't know, please make it clear to Your Majesty." A few people also don't quite understand.

"Okay, then I'll just say it, because the position of the first assistant is also temporarily vacant, so someone needs to fill the vacancy, because you have such a credit before, so I plan to make a choice from the three of you, do you have any opinions?" Zhu Xuanxuan said.

Hearing this, several people were still surprised, they didn't expect it to be such a thing, it was indeed a good thing, but it was not good for them to talk about it first, and they were still not ready to talk about such a thing after looking at each other.

Zhu Xuanxuan also looked at their attitude, and then said: "What about this matter, you don't have any worries, you can tell what you think in your heart, whether you are willing or not, there is no problem, Zhou Lin, you can say it first!" ”

"First of all, thank you for Your Majesty's attention to the ministers, but for the ministers personally, it is indeed a little inappropriate, because the ministers are also very old, and they are not suitable for such a position, and even if they are in office, they may not be able to do it for a few days, so they should not think about it first, and they should choose from these two." Zhou Lin also didn't want to hold such a position.

Zhu Xuanxuan also nodded when he heard this, he could still believe this, and felt that what the other party said was true, because the other party was also like this, but he still hoped that there would be such an opportunity for him, and whether he agreed or not was the other party's meaning.

"Okay, it's good that you have such an attitude, what do you think of Zhao Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department?" Zhu Xuanxuan continued to ask.

"Thank you Your Majesty and Lord Zhou for your recommendation, in fact, for the minister, it is the most familiar to deal with some things in the Criminal Department, as for the first assistant of the cabinet, the minister may not have such experience, so it seems a little inappropriate, the minister thinks that Lord Zhou and Lord Wu are more qualified, and please consider it." Zhao Yan also came to excuse such a thing, which can be said to be more modest.

Because he knows that in the current situation, it is definitely not the best to agree directly, and that would be a bit too arrogant, so it is also necessary to say this, and he feels that the emperor should have such a concern, not that they will agree if they want to, and they will refuse if they want to, this will not be just a polite remark.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to have such an attitude, what do you think?" Zhu Xuanxuan continued to ask.

"Your Majesty is also pleased with a recommendation from the minister, which is also a great honor, but the minister only knows more about some matters related to some field water conservancy projects, and I am afraid that he does not know too much about the affairs of the cabinet, so I am afraid that I can't do it, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." Wu You also shirked.

"Hey...... The three of you are really too modest, for such a thing, how can you be submissive, it is difficult to be afraid, this should not be, you should have such a positive attitude, although you have not done anything in the cabinet before, but you can still learn, after all, not everyone knows everything, don't they all learn slowly, so don't shirk, you will appoint one person to each other today, and then I will make a decision, starting with Zhou Lin. Zhu Xuanxuan was also a little helpless, and he had to be allowed to make such a choice.

"That minister recommends Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department." Zhou Lin was also helpless, so he designated one casually.

"The minister recommends Lord Zhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Zhao Yan also recommended each other.

"The minister recommends Lord Zhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Wu You also said the same.

Because no matter what, it is necessary to designate a person, so it must be recommended to follow Zhou Lin from the palace with His Majesty, not to mention whether the emperor really decided like this, then it must also echo the emperor's intentions, even if the emperor does not think so, then there is no problem, that can show his modesty, this is enough.

"Okay, since everyone also recommends Zhou Lin like this, what do you think?" Zhu Xuanxuan also asked.

"Thank you Your Majesty and your colleagues for your recommendation and support, but the minister has always felt that he is not suitable for such a position, so please consider it carefully." Zhou Lin was still refusing.

"Since everyone recommends it like this, you don't shirk it, I will definitely continue to think about it, but you are also prepared for such a situation, this matter will not be decided for the time being, and a clear answer will be given later, so you can go back first!" Zhu Xuanxuan commanded, anyway, his goal was achieved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and the ministers will retire." Several people also had to leave.

Zhu Xuanxuan also sighed, and then he asked Lin Yu, "Do you think any of them really said such a thing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister can't see it, and then I feel that Lord Zhou seems to really don't like this position!" Lin Yu said.

"I hope so, it stands to reason that he should be satisfied, I don't know why he always refuses, although age is a problem, but it is not enough to use this as a reason, although I don't want him to take this position, but the other party should be satisfied." Zhu Xuanxuan also sighed.

"Maybe the other party also thinks that he has done enough, and there is nothing he can do next, and there is a reason to excuse himself." Lin Yu explained.

"Maybe that's the case, but it doesn't matter, anyway, I asked their opinions, and they all shirked, in that case, then don't regret it, after all, don't blame others if you can't seize the opportunity, after all, it's not every time." Zhu Xuanxuan also sighed.

"I believe that they must be prepared for such a mental preparation, no matter what, it is still acceptable, after all, this opportunity is just once, no one wants to miss it, so no matter what, accepting the result is the most important thing." Lin Yu echoed.
