Originally, the matter of arranging to be an official in the south could have been arranged by Situ Jingping, but Situ Jingping still asked Emperor Xiao for advice.

Emperor Xiao also understood Situ Jingping's thoughts, but he was worried that his own arrangement would cause criticism in the court, and in the end, it was Emperor Xiao who was annoyed, so it was better to let Emperor Xiao decide directly.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that those officials found out by Shen Shaoqing of Dali Temple a few days ago can be sent to Dangnan to take up their posts, and govern Dangzhou and Dangnan Mansion well, so as to atone for their sins."

"The minister seconded the proposal, if he made a meritorious service, he would be recalled to the capital, and if he could not make a meritorious service, he could be disarmed and returned to the field."

Prime Minister Cai Cheng took the lead in expressing his views, and Dong Taishi added later.

"Well, send one of them to serve as the governor of the state, and the post of governor of the southern province cannot be assumed by any of them."

Last time, Shen Jingbing was asked to check all the officials who had served in the Ministry of Officials, if they were allowed to go to Dangnan together, it would inevitably cause any chaos again, and Emperor Xiao needed to prevent such a thing from happening again.

"What Your Majesty said is very true!"

The two officials also knew very well in their hearts what Emperor Xiao was worried about, those officials who were investigated by Shen Jingbing were all in the south with a black history.

To put it mildly, they are all the same dogs, and it is indeed quite risky to be placed in Dangnanfu again, or to serve in the same place.

"Is there a suitable candidate for each member of the department?"

When the governor of Nanfu is an official position from the fourth rank, it is only appropriate to send the fifth rank officials in the court.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Officials has been cleaned up, many officials have been promoted, and now the departments are not well staffed."

Dong Taishi thought for a while and said, a few days ago, Emperor Xiao cleaned up the Ministry of Officials, many officials were eliminated, and many officials from the remaining five departments were transferred to the Ministry of Officials.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that people can be drawn from the three provinces of Zhongshu and Shangshu."

The officials of the three provinces of Zhongshu have not moved when they purged and transferred officials last time, and if they find someone to serve in the southern government, it is very suitable to find them among them.

In addition, there has been no personnel change in the three provinces for a long time, and Prime Minister Cai Cheng has this mind.

"No, I still want to supplement the officials of the three provinces, and at this time, I am looking for someone among them to go south to serve in the southern government, wouldn't I want to find one more person to enter the three provinces?"

As the central institutions that Emperor Xiao relied on the most, the three provinces of Zhongshu Shangshu were places that countless officials wanted to enter.

Prime Minister Cai's thoughts, Emperor Xiao could see that he wanted to stuff people into the three provinces.

But where are the three provinces so easy to be infiltrated, Cai Chengxiang's son Cai Bi's previous Shangshu Zuocheng is just a false position, and Emperor Xiao has a different method to stabilize Cai Chengxiang first.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that there are still many capable and idle officials in the court, and the officials of the three provinces of Zhongshu can be adjusted later, and the people of Nanfu cannot be without officials for a day, and the matter of being the governor of Nanfu should be arranged as soon as possible."

Emperor Xiao's plan to delay the army failed to hide from Prime Minister Cai's eyes, after all, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and Emperor Xiao's intentions Prime Minister Cai Cheng can see clearly.

"Taishi and the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, do you have any opinions?"

failed to hide from Prime Minister Cai, Xiao Huang decided to ask Dong Taishi's opinion, hoping that Dong Taishi could help him out of the siege.

However, Emperor Xiao asked the wrong person this time, and Taishi Dong would never participate in this kind of battle.

"Your Majesty, the minister has no opinion, but it is up to Your Majesty to decide!"

Sure enough, Taishi Dong did not disappoint him, Xiao Huang covered his forehead,

"Is there a suitable candidate in the prime minister's mind?"

Xiao Huang suddenly felt that he shouldn't ask these two people, but thinking that if it was discussed in the court, it would definitely be another headache, and Xiao Huang felt that there was no problem in asking this question now.

Anyway, it's better to retreat as advance, and after you think about it, you can put it in the court and let them quarrel, and finally decide to come.

"Your Majesty, ......"

Prime Minister Cai Cheng was about to say the candidate in his heart, but suddenly thought that although there are many officials in the three provinces of Zhongshu, all of them are officials above the fourth grade.

A person who is the governor of Nanfu is only from the fourth grade, so there is no reason to talk about other people's official positions, it is too unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, can you let the idle officials go to Dangnan Mansion?"

In the end, Prime Minister Cai Cheng could only be cheeky to transfer the object to the idle officials.

"Well, yes, the prime minister will go back and draw up a list of officials who are suitable to go to Dangnan Mansion as governors, and I will make a choice."

Blocking Prime Minister Cai's careful thoughts, Emperor Xiao pushed the problem to Prime Minister Cai,

"I'm not fishing today, and the fish in the lake are probably full in the morning."

Ending the topic, Xiao Huang put away the fishing rod in his hand, and there was nothing on the hook.

Dong Taishi also put away the fishing rod in his hand, and like Xiao Huang, there was nothing on his fishing hook.

Prime Minister Cai was still quite comfortable in his heart, but when he saw Xiao Huang and Dong Taishi put away the fishing rod, he was stunned.

Xiao Huang's words implied that it was not a fish that bit Cai Chengxiang's hook, but it didn't matter, because at this time, Cai Chengxiang's fishing rod had been dragged to the center of the lake by the fish, and he could only laugh awkwardly in place.

When Emperor Xiao and Changde left, and only Taishi Dong and him were left in the imperial garden, Prime Minister Cai Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Prime Minister Cai, your luck is really good today."

Seeing Cai Chengxiang's relieved look, Dong Taishi teased him, because only his bait was hooked today,

"Thank you, Master for your humility!"

What Taishi Dong said meant second to Prime Minister Cai, and he thought that what Taishi Dong was talking about was Emperor Xiao handing over the list of candidates for the governor of Dangnan to him to prepare.

"What does this have to do with me, it's still the prime minister's superb skills!"

Taishi Dong continued to tease, and at the same time made a gesture to Prime Minister Cai Cheng, the Imperial Garden is not a place where these courtiers can stay, and it is the best policy to leave quickly.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! The fish are starving to death! ”

As soon as the front foot left the back garden, the two of them saw several eunuchs hurriedly pushing a cart of fish into the imperial garden.

Hearing their urging words, Mrs. Dong was thoughtful, and Prime Minister Cai was terrified.

……

"Changde, you can scare Prime Minister Cai Cheng a lot."

After leaving the Imperial Garden, Emperor Xiao said to Chang De.

The bait was all prepared by Changde, and Emperor Xiao also saw the clues.

The fish in the Imperial Garden have not been fed today, and there is no saying that the fish have eaten enough, and the problem lies in the bait of the three people.

The bait of the three people looks the same, but in fact, there is a lot of mystery in it.

Among the three people's bait, only Cai Chengxiang's bait is spice, and Xiao Huang and Dong Taishi's bait are all made of mud.

So when the rod was reeled, the hooks on Xiao Huang and Dong Taishi's fishing line were empty, because the mud had long since melted under the water.

This was also instructed by Emperor Xiao, and the Ministry of Officials cleaned up a large number of officials, but in the selection of new officials of the Ministry of Officials, Prime Minister Cai Cheng arranged too many of his own henchmen.

Fishing is Emperor Xiao's warning to Prime Minister Cai, reminding him not to go too far and give others a chance.

"It's Your Majesty's idea!"

Of course, Changde doesn't mind patting Xiao Huang again when he is happy.

……

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, this day is the time for Guozijian to announce the venue of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival and the talents in Beijing who can participate in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Conference.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting is organized by the Ministry of Rites, and it stands to reason that the Ministry of Rites should announce the location of the event and the list of talented people in Beijing who participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting.

But because at the beginning, Xiao Guo's Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting was organized by Guozijian and lasted for hundreds of years, at the beginning, these things were announced by Guozijian.

Later, after it was handed over to the Ministry of Rites, the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting was still held in Guozijian, and this information has always been published by Guozijian.

Later, even if it was held in the imperial palace and in Wenying Pavilion, it still did not change the habit of Guozijian publishing this information.

Early in the morning, many people gathered in front of the public notice wall at the entrance of Guozijian, most of these people were students in Beijing, and there were also junior assistants or shopkeepers in major teahouses in Beijing.

The geniuses of the capital hope to have their names on the list of participants in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

And those juniors or shopkeepers hope that the venue of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club is their own teahouse, after all, they have not tried to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in a non-official teahouse over the years.

"You say, will this year's Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting be held in Wenying Pavilion?"

Outside the crowd, Cai Zi A asked Cai Zi B that they were coming together, and they didn't have much hope for participating in the poetry meeting.

In the past, there were only 20 students in Beijing who participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting, and they thought that they had not reached the height of the top 20 in the capital, so they just came to see where the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival was held.

"Yes, after all, it has been held in Wenying Pavilion for two consecutive years."
