"Commander of the same knowledge? The emperor, in the humble opinion of Weichen, is Shen Yan's promotion too fast, and the position of the fifth rank has not yet been hot, and he has been promoted to the commander of the fourth rank, which makes other students who have passed the imperial examination embarrassed. www.biquge.info Hearing the emperor's words, a touch of surprise and unwillingness appeared in the eyes of Ma Zhanxin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Shen Yan's promotion speed had broken the promotion speed of all the officials in the emperor's previous dynasty, with a trace of incomprehension and dissatisfaction, Ma Zhanxin hurriedly stood up and said unjustly for those officials.

"How can you be embarrassed? What Ma Aiqing means is that it only makes sense that the speed of promotion is slower than that of those officials who rank first, right? Xia Qi heard Ma Zhanxin's words, an indifferent smile appeared in his eyes, glanced at Ma Zhanxin, and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, although Weichen wants to express this is not what he means, but in fact, Weichen feels that Shen Yan's promotion speed has broken a cadre, since Shen Yan was promoted by the emperor to be reckless, but in the rest of the month, he has been promoted to the fifth grade, no, the fourth grade official, if this promotion speed is not fast, then Weichen really can't find an official who is faster than Shen Yan's promotion speed." Ma Zhanxin heard the emperor's words, a strange look flashed in his eyes, although he felt in his heart that it was not a good sign to disobey the emperor like this, however, there was no turning back from the bow, and he originally wanted to take this opportunity to complain for those officials who were in order, if he retired at this time, then he would end up with a person who was not a person inside and out.

"What Ma Aiqing said is not without a certain amount of truth, however, Ma Aiqing, I don't know if you have ever thought about why I promoted Shen Yan so quickly, I will tell you the truth, if I didn't deliberately suppress and improve Shen Yan's speed, according to Shen Yan's merits, and my preference for Shen Yan, it is not impossible for Shen Yan to be promoted to the second grade." A touch of excitement appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, revealing a touch of essence, staring at Ma Zhanxin, and then glanced at the ministers in the Taihe Palace, and said slowly.

"It's true that when I promoted Shen Yan, I did it out of some emotional considerations, however, everything Shen Yan has done since he was promoted by me is not for the benefit of the country and the people, so I will tell you in detail here."

"After Shen Yan was promoted to the head of the Criminal Department, the first case he took office was the steamed bun case that stumped the Ministry of Criminal Affairs from the department to the hall and down to the officials, but Shen Yan cracked the case in less than an hour after taking office, although this can not fully explain Shen Yan's criminal name talent, but it can also reflect Shen Yan's careful thinking, after this case, Shen Yan won the reputation of Shen Qingtian, let me ask me how many officials in the Great Xia Dynasty have the reputation of Qingtian?"

"Each of the national policies that Shen Yan suggested to me later is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, but I have been suppressing this news, so you courtiers don't know, or rather, some of you have obtained this news through some special channels. Yes, the rotation of the six departments and the prince's handwriting to inspect the place for me are Shen Yan's suggestions, through the implementation of these days, the results of the rotation of the six departments are contrary to the previous six departments, and they have indeed improved some work efficiency. ”

"As for the princes patrolling the localities, you may have heard of them somewhat, and I don't want to say much about what these princes do in the localities."

"Shen Yan was later transferred to the Ministry of War to be responsible for training the five hundred ruffians in the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing, maybe you felt that Shen Yan couldn't suppress these ruffians at the beginning, there is no need to deny it, I also thought so at the beginning, however, through his own efforts, Shen Yan not only won the recognition of these ruffians, but also twisted them into a rope to form a very outstanding army of my Great Xia: the Great Xia Royal Army, through a few beautiful battles, you have all seen how powerful the Great Xia Royal Army is."

"Since Shen Yan took over the Jinyi School, he has worked hard to rectify the Jinyi School, can you still see the collusive and dirty style before the Jinyi School? Is Jinyi School still the rat that everyone shouted at before? ”

"Also, the civil and martial arts battles of the Northern Hu National Master and his entourage, if there is no Shen Yanlian to answer the three questions, do you think my face in Daxia is still there?"

"Tell me, isn't it enough for Shen Yan to be a fourth-grade official with such military exploits and such merits?" Xia Qi finished talking about Shen Yan's exploits in one breath, a touch of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he said with a high expression.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yan's merits are obvious to all, but Shen Yan's rapid promotion speed makes those officials who are in rank embarrassed." Ma Zhanxin heard the emperor's list of Shen Yan's credits, and a touch of surprise appeared in his eyes, as the emperor said, some of the credits are known to everyone, and some are not, Ma Zhanxin will not suspect that the emperor deliberately exaggerated Shen Yan's merits in order to promote Shen Yan.

"How can you be embarrassed? It's simple, if you let them make such a great contribution to Shen Yan, I won't be stingy with the official position in my hands. Xia Qi's eyes showed a confident look, and he said proudly.

"The official position that I promoted Shen Yan is itself vacant, and it does not offset the officials in the original position because of this, so it will not have an impact on some officials."

"The officials of Jidi are all experts in the world, and let them dance with knives and guns, isn't this obviously a deviation from their profession." Ma Zhanxin obviously felt that his confidence was not very strong.

"I didn't say that they must be allowed to dance with knives and guns, and they can dance and write, and they can make political achievements, but I haven't seen what their evaluation is, I don't want to say more here, the officials will have a detailed evaluation system." Xia Qi saw that Ma Zhanxin's voice was a little quieter, and an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Ma Zhanxin can be said to be the most powerful official under the fourth command, this time it was nominally for the officials of the first rank, but in fact, he wanted to establish prestige and influence, so that those stupid and first scholars would buy it.

"How about it, Ma Aiqing, do you have any suggestions for me to promote Shen Yan to the commander of the Jinyi School now?"

"Weichen is stupid, not for the time being." Ma Zhanxin obviously felt that there was a hint of surprise in the emperor's words, if he insisted on his own point of view, Ma Zhanxin didn't think that the emperor would talk to him so calmly, anyway, he had already achieved the effect of complaining about the first scholar, as for whether Shen Yan served as the commander of the Jinyi School, this certainly had a certain impact on himself, but he also had an impact on other officials in the palace, why should he be the rafters that came out, the rafters that came out always rotted first.
