"The first time I heard that there are officials who don't do it, if it is placed in the court, hundreds of officials can fight for the position of this Shangshu, tell me, why do you want to do this?"

Emperor Xiao has seen too many battles for official positions, and he can fight for the sake of a small governor in the Gyeonggi region, let alone the position of Shangshu.

"Your Majesty, my father is about to leave Beijing and go south, as a son, Hao Shuo should share his father's worries, and the minister is still young, shallow in knowledge, ugly in knowledge, and has no officialdom resume.

I am not afraid of Hao Shuo's criticism, but it is inevitable that some people will talk about His Majesty's nepotism, and His Majesty's reputation will be damaged because of Hao Shuo, which is disloyalty, and his father will be distracted because of Hao Shuo, and he will not be able to concentrate on the southern tour, this is unfilial piety, Hao Shuo must not be an unfaithful and unrighteous person, please take back your Majesty's life! ”

Mrs. Dong nodded frequently when he heard this, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"Good! Good! Good! After a while, three "good" words burst out of Emperor Xiao's mouth, "Hao Shuo's words are deeply heartfelt!" ”

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cai asks to see you!" The prince walked in from outside the hall and said to Emperor Xiao.

"Cai Gou? How did he get here? Emperor Xiao muttered, "Announce him in." ”

After a while, I saw Prime Minister Cai Cheng walk into the Heart Cultivation Palace, and looking at the sweat on his forehead, it seemed that he had rushed from home.

"Ministers meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Aiqing is exempt, Aiqing is in such a hurry, what happened?" Emperor Xiao knew that Prime Minister Cai Cheng was here for Situ Jingping's southern tour and Situ Yi's affairs, so he pretended to be puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the minister came here for the matter of the Fuhu Army, please take back the tiger talisman of the Fuhu Army!" Prime Minister Cai Cheng went straight to the point, straight to the point, and said his purpose.

"Well, what else?" Emperor Xiao didn't believe that Prime Minister Cai Cheng was only here for this one thing.

"Also, please retract Your Majesty's decree to appoint Situ Yi as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials." Prime Minister Cai did not leave a trace of face just because Situ Yi was present.

"I know, is there anything else?" As if he hadn't heard what Prime Minister Cai had just said, Emperor Xiao continued to ask.

"Uh......" Prime Minister Cai Cheng didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, Situ Shangshu is just going to investigate the case, there is no need to mobilize the Fuhu Army." ”

"The Fuhu Army has a secret operation, I asked Situ to dispatch it."

"Your Majesty, why don't you let General Nangong go, but let the Criminal Department Shangshu?" Cai Cheng questioned Emperor Xiao's statement, and civil officials in the imperial court were not allowed to be involved in the military, which was a customary rule.

"The general wants to purge and train the defenders of the capital, and he has been working day and night during this time, so I can't bear to let him go to Changzhou."

"Your Majesty, there are 200,000 Fuhu troops in Changzhou, if Situ Jingping has a heart of treason, there will be chaos in the south." Prime Minister Cai Cheng will not be relentless, once this civilian official and the military set a precedent, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Prime Minister Cai, our Situ family has been loyal for more than 400 years since the founding of the Xiao State, and you are biased when you say this." Hearing Prime Minister Cai Cheng say bad things about his father, Situ Yi naturally wanted to defend himself.

"Humph! Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Situ Gong was the Zhongshu order of the previous dynasty, and if your Situ family could rebel once, you could rebel a second time, and now you have 200,000 Fuhu troops, how can you not make people suspicious. ”

"If Prime Minister Cai Cheng wants to say this, then what the lower officials want to ask is that Prime Minister Cai Cheng has to deal with twists and turns every day, with such a great power, does he also have a rebellious heart, after all, Prime Minister Cai Cheng is the one who holds the great secrets of Xiao Guo." Situ Yi asked rhetorically.

"Humph! My loyalty to Your Majesty and to Xiao Guo can be seen from the sun and the moon, how can I have two minds? ”

"Then since Prime Minister Cai Cheng has no rebellious heart, how can he dare to say that my father has a rebellious heart?" Situ Yi pressed Cai Cheng step by step.

"I'm just guessing...... Besides, your Situ family has a rebellious bloodline, hum! Prime Minister Cai couldn't find a positive word to refute Situ Yi, so he could only use strong words.

"Prime Minister Cai, it's not good for you to say that about Situ Gong." Dong Taishi was very disdainful of Prime Minister Cai's slander of the current ancestors, especially the act of slandering the founding fathers.

"Is there a mistake in this statement? Isn't Situ Gong the former secretary of the court? ”

"That's enough, Cai Gou!" Emperor Xiao scolded angrily, "Don't forget the purpose of your visit to me today, I have written down the words of disrespect to the sages." ”

Only then did Prime Minister Cai Cheng think that he had entered the palace for the sake of Fuhu Jun and the Ministry of Shangshu.

"Your Majesty thinks twice, how can this Situ Yi be young at such a young age, how can he afford to be the secretary of the ministry?"

"Okay, the post of secretary of the ministry will not be allowed to Situ Yi, is the prime minister satisfied?" Xiao Huang looked like he had chosen a reluctant compromise.

"The Tiger Talisman of the Fuhu Army?" Prime Minister Cai asked Emperor Xiao tentatively.

Emperor Xiao put on a majestic face, "Why, do I have to listen to you when I make all my decisions?" Are you the Son of Heaven or am I the Son of Heaven? ”

"I don't dare." Prime Minister Cai hurriedly lowered his head.

"Master Dong!"

"The minister is here!"

"I ordered you to concurrently serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, do you have any objections?"

"Obey the Holy Command!" Dong Taishi was also born in Zhongshu Ling, before he became Zhongshu Ling, he served as the secretary of the ministry, and he was idle after being named Taishi, and now it is not a chore for him to go back and serve as the secretary of the ministry.

"Situ Yi, I named you as the servant in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the official is the fifth grade, and after the early dynasty and Xiu Mu, he came to the Nourishing Heart Hall every morning to accompany me to review and read the folds, and went to the Ministry of Officials in the afternoon to study with Master Dong, do you have any opinions?"

"The minister has no opinion!" Without the big trouble of the Ministry of Officials, Situ Yi naturally would not have any opinions.

"What about the prime minister, do you have any opinions?"

"The minister has no opinion." It's not Situ Yi who is the secretary of the ministry, Prime Minister Cai Cheng has already taken advantage, although Dong Taishi is not a person close to him, but it is much better than the people of the Situ family to sit in the position of the secretary of the ministry.

Regarding Situ Yi's going to the ministry in the afternoon to find Dong Taishi, although Cai Chengxiang felt that there was a problem, but in the capital, who didn't know that Situ Yi was Dong Taishi's most proud protégé, and there was nothing to blame when students looked for teachers.

"Since there are no opinions, then the Taishi and the prime minister will step down, and Haoshuo will stay with me to review and review the folds."

"Farewell!"

When Prime Minister Cai returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were already many officials waiting, and they were in the Prime Minister's Mansion after learning the content of the holy decree.

"Prime Minister, you can't let Your Majesty hand over the Fuhu Army to Situ Jingping!" Yu Qian's face was not angry, he felt that His Majesty was too unfair to other officials.

"Your Majesty handed over both the Ministry of Officials and Punishment to Situ Jingping before, and now that Situ Jingping has left Beijing to patrol, the Criminal Department will not talk about it, the Ministry of Officials, Your Majesty has put Situ Yi in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, how old is Situ Yi's kid, and he was only crowned the year before last, isn't it a joke with the court?"

It was Xu Cai who said this, he was still dissatisfied with Emperor Xiao's dismissal of his position as a secretary in the early dynasty, but he didn't dare to express it openly, so he could only complain about Emperor Xiao's decision to support Situ Yi.

In the Xiao Kingdom, the age of the male coronation was 20 years old, and the age of the female and the Xuan was 15 years old, and the man could only enter the court as an official after the crown.

It is true that the Situ family has produced talents since ancient times, but it is really that Situ Yi is too young and has no experience in politics, and the position of the secretary of the ministry is really a little frightening.

Although Cai Cheng still had objections to Emperor Xiao's decision, Emperor Xiao's retreat turned into advance, which made him helpless.

"Your Majesty has removed Situ Yi, Dong Taishi temporarily served as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Situ Yi changed to the waiter in the Yangxin Palace, the official Wupin, and in the morning in the morning to accompany His Majesty to review the folds, and only in the afternoon did he go to the Ministry of Officials to find the Taishi, and the students looked for the teacher, and I am embarrassed to accuse." Prime Minister Cai Cheng explained to the officials.

Hu Tu took over, "Give the tiger talisman of the Fuhu Army to Situ Jingping, is Your Majesty crazy, let a civilian official lead the army, so nonsense, how can Your Majesty explain to the hundred officials of the court and the people of the world......

"Shut up, as far as what you said today, if your majesty hears it, you won't have enough ten heads to cut off!" Prime Minister Cai interrupted Hu Tu's words and warned him not to talk nonsense.

Hu Tu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly shut up, not daring to speak.

"Your Majesty has decided on this matter, and the holy decree has also been issued, if our courtiers oppose it again, there will be no more room for maneuver, so don't dwell on this matter."
