Chapter 475: The Squire of the Ministry of Works
But at this time, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't stand up and express his opinion, because he was not qualified! He is only a magistrate, so what qualifications does he have to dictate the personnel appointments of the imperial court? At this time, he will only be jealous and attacked by the Donglin Party when he stands up, but he can't stop the expansion of the Donglin Party's power in the court, so he can only pretend to be dumb!
This is a matter of going through the motions, which is the same as the appointment of modern officialdom. The weaving department has set the final list, and there will generally be no further changes, and Emperor Qi is young, so it is impossible for him to have any opinions of his own, so after Wang An finished reading, Fang Congzhe immediately said: "If the saint has no objection, then the ministers will draw up the decree according to this list......"
Unexpectedly, an accident happened at this time, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly waved his hand and said, "Wait, why didn't I hear Guo Aiqing's name on it?" ……”
Everyone was stunned all of a sudden, especially the Donglin Party was a little embarrassed, Guo Zhiyuan made a great effort in this "palace transfer case", but when he talked about meritorious deeds, he "missed" others, which is indeed a bit unauthentic, Zhou Jiamo hurriedly explained: "Qi Shengshang, Lord Guo is a Fujian magistrate, and he is not included in this fill-in-the-vacancy, so he is not included in the list......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't eat this, waved his hand and said, "Can't a magistrate enter the court as an official?" Guo Aiqing has made a great contribution to my accession to the throne and succession, and has made great contributions, and he deserves to be rewarded! ……”
The first assistant Fang Congzhe was also very dissatisfied with this method of the Donglin Party, but the Donglin Party people have made great efforts on the issue of the succession of Emperor Taichang and Emperor Tianqi, and now that the power has become a force, he has to agree to this list under pressure, so he is also very happy to see Guo Zhiyuan's "-stirring stick" mixed in and stirred, so he stood up and said: "It is indeed an omission of the ministers, it is better to discuss on the spot while all the ministers are there, and make up the name of Lord Guo......"
The Donglin Party also knew that it was not easy to shirk, and instead of letting Guo Zhiyuan sit in the south, it would be easier to deal with him by transferring him to the capital under his nose, and discussing the appointment of officials was naturally the most vocal in the Ministry of Officials, Liu Yijing glanced at Zhou Jiamo again, and Zhou Jiamo stood up and said: "Lord Guo was originally the deputy envoy of Fujian Haidao, and he is the fourth product, so why don't you let him be the Yuan Ma Shaoqing (the master of the horse, the civil official of the fourth grade)?" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan sneered silently when he heard this, this Donglin Party member is really generous! He had already guessed that Zhou Jiamo would not be able to recommend himself to an important position of real power, but he didn't expect Zhou Jiamo to get a Yuan Ma Shaoqing with grade and no real power for him, there is another meaning in this, Emperor Wanli often said that Guo Zhiyuan is a lawless Sun Monkey, Sun Wukong has been Bi Ma Wen, and he is also a horse breeder, Zhou Jiamo let him be Yuan Ma Shaoqing Doesn't it mean that he is sarcastic about him?
But at this time, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't express his opinion, he wanted to directly say that I shouldn't be Yuan Ma Shaoqing, then I would become an important official, fortunately, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't stand it, and immediately waved his hand and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, Guo Aiqing is the pillar of the country, isn't it a waste of talent to Ren Yuan Ma Shaoqing, I see that Guo Aiqing has only learned people, even if he is a cabinet scholar, he can do it!" ……”
Everyone was shocked, they all saw that Guo Zhiyuan was favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but they didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to favor Guo Zhiyuan to such a point that he even said such a ridiculous thing as making him a cabinet scholar! Speaking of which, this is also the Emperor of the Apocalypse who just became the emperor and does not understand the rules of the court, so he will say such things.
Liu Yijing relied on his old qualifications, immediately stood up, and refuted unceremoniously: "National events are not the same as child's play!" To enter the cabinet, you must be from a scholar, Guo Zhiyuan has never participated in the imperial examination, how can He De be a cabinet scholar? Such a chaotic life, the ministers will never dare to obey! ……”
After all, Tianqi was young, and he was a little frightened by Liu Yijing's momentum, Fang Congzhe hurriedly stood up and said: "Lord Liu, don't be so excited, the saint just said that Guo Da is a scholar who can be a cabinet scholar, and he doesn't really want Guo to be a cabinet scholar......
Saying that, Fang Congzhe also glanced at Guo Zhiyuan, seeing that he was expressionless, it seemed that the matter discussed had nothing to do with him at all, and secretly said that this guy is really calm, but he is a character, and his heart moved, so he turned his head to Guo Zhiyuan and smiled: "Lord Guo, I don't know if you have a favorite position, you might as well recommend yourself......
Tianqi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Guo Aiqing, what official you want to do, just say it, and I will be allowed to play!" ……”
The faces of the Donglin Party are even more ugly, what kind of officials can they choose by themselves? It's ridiculous! immediately set his eyes on Guo Zhiyuan, preparing to attack him in groups once he didn't know the height of the sky and made a non-divisive request!
At this time, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't do it if he didn't want to speak, but fortunately, he already had an idea in his heart, and he bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse unhurriedly and said: "How can Weichen He De be so loved by the saint, Weichen is only a shallow learner, it is really difficult to shoulder the heavy responsibility, I am afraid that I will lose the trust of the saint......"
The Donglin Party secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts that you kid is still a little self-aware, but Guo Zhiyuan turned his words and continued: "Although Weichen is only sparse and shallow, but the heart of serving the emperor and serving the court is by no means inferior to others, empty talk is misleading the country, Weichen just wants to do some practical things, it is better to let Weichen go to the Ministry of Industry, and Weichen should still be able to be a waiter or something!" ……”
Fang Congzhe's eyes lit up when he heard it, now the Donglin Party's influence in the court is getting bigger and bigger, making him, the first assistant, also very passive, many things have to look at the face of the Donglin Party, Guo Zhiyuan is notoriously bold, pulling him into the center of the court, and he can also check and balance the Donglin Party, so he immediately answered: "What an empty talk to mislead the country!" I have long heard that Lord Guo only took a few years to build several giant cities in Dongfan, and he must have a lot of experience in building, and he went to the Ministry of Industry to make the best use of it, which is very good! ……”
Tianqi just became the emperor, and he actually didn't know much about these official functions of the imperial court, since Guo Zhiyuan Mao recommended himself to be the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and the first assistant Fang Congzhe also agreed, then there was no problem, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Okay, good, quasi-play!" Then give Guo Aiqing the squire of the Ministry of Industry and take office on the same day! ……”
The faces of the Donglin Party are very bad-looking, the Ministry of Industry is a three-grade person, and he has already entered the center of the country, and Guo Zhiyuan's "-stirring stick" will undoubtedly bring them a lot of obstacles to their control of the government, don't look at Guo Zhiyuan's youth, but from his performance in the "palace transfer case", it can be seen that he is by no means a master who is willing to suffer, just now Zhou Jiamo proposed to let Guo Zhiyuan be the Yuan Ma Shaoqing is actually sarcastic that he did not participate in the imperial examination and only raised horses, but Guo Zhiyuan immediately used a sentence of "empty talk to mislead the country" Irony is back, this is clearly a fierce rival!
