Chapter 84: Candidates

Wang Ke now feels like he is just one word, busy!

Now I can't be as carefree as I thought before, although I still have the same as before, I don't have to get up early every day to go to the court, but other than this, I really can't tell what is different from other ministers.

It's not. Wang Ke was called to the palace again. Wang Ke felt that during this time, he seemed to be running to the palace every day, and he didn't know how Comrade Li Er had so many things to ask in a day.

In Wang Ke's view, Comrade Li Er's questions are not matters, they are all things that he can handle very easily on weekdays, but now he has to call himself. As a result, Wang Kelai sat for a while, but Comrade Li Er decided by himself, and he had nothing to do with him at all.

Wang Ke still didn't know anything about what Comrade Li Er asked him to do in the palace today, and now someone in the palace called him, and it was no longer Gonggong Yang who came, but sent another little eunuch, and he didn't enter the 'door', but went to the 'door' of the palace and told the 'door' room to leave as soon as he went, so that every time Wang Ke went out of the 'door', he had to guess what was going on today.

Entering the palace, Comrade Li Er was already sitting in the imperial study, and Wang Ke hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Comrade Li Er waved his hand lazily and said, "Okay, you sit down first, I called you today because I have something to ask you." ”

Wang Ke hadn't heard Comrade Li Er's opening remarks for a long time, and as soon as he heard Comrade Li Er say this today, he knew that something was really going on today, and hurriedly said: "What the emperor wants to ask, as long as the minister knows, he must tell the truth." Does the emperor have any questions? ”

Comrade Li Er pondered for a while before saying, "In the past few days, I have been considering candidates for the establishment of the three headquarters of the army that you talked about. Now I have a few candidates in mind, and I want you to consider it for me. ”

When Wang Ke heard this, he was shocked, this matter was within the power of the prime minister and the secretary of the military department, how could he decide on such a high-ranking candidate.

Wang Ke hurriedly stood up, walked to Comrade Li Er's imperial case, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is not something that a minister can do." As a minister, this kind of thing should not be heard, let alone participated, even if you listen to it. I also hope that the emperor will be sympathetic to the situation of the minister, don't let the minister get involved in this matter, or let the minister stay at home. ”

Comrade Li Er was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Ke's reaction to be so strong. In his impression, no matter what he asks Wang Ke about something, he will say his thoughts, although sometimes it seems that it is not so easy to 'operate', but the general direction is still right. But like today, when I just said something and refused with my mouth, I really haven't encountered it.

Comrade Li Er was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Don't worry about it, the reason why I asked you to come here and didn't call anyone else here is just to talk to you alone, not to ask you to make any decisions for me. I just want to hear your thoughts on this matter, and in any case, you brought it up as well, so you can't just throw it to me and run away yourself. ”

Comrade Li Er's purpose in saying this was to trap Wang Ke and let him help him come up with ideas. But Wang Ke was really afraid that what he said would reach the ears of those who wanted to sit in this position but didn't sit in the future. At that time, if you think that you have said something in it, and you have offended people for no reason, then it will be difficult for you to 'mix' in the army, because those who can sit in this position are now in the rank of marshal, and they can be regarded as the highest-ranking officers in the army of the Tang Empire.

Wang Ke made up his mind that he would not 'intervene' in this matter no matter what, this hot potato could not be 'touched' casually.

Wang Ke said to Comrade Li Er seriously: "Your Majesty, this matter is really not something that a minister can say. Although the minister came up with this proposal for the emperor, the minister still knows his identity, and in this matter, as a minister, he cannot participate, and the emperor is still asked to understand this. ”

When Comrade Li Er saw what he said, this Wang Ke didn't fall for it, he didn't feel a little annoyed, and said in a tough tone: "Don't make any excuses for me." I just want you to talk about it today, if you can't say that you are ugly, you can stay here for me, and don't think about going back. Even if my two 'daughters' come to intercede, it won't work

Wang Ke was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that this Comrade Li Er, a dignified emperor, would actually have a time to cheat, and he was so unscrupulous, he was completely a standard hooligan and scoundrel.

Wang Ke had no choice but to say to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, it's okay for the minister to say it, but the minister asks the emperor not to spread what the minister said." If it is spread out, it will not be easy for the minister to be a man in the future. ”

When Comrade Li Er heard Wang Ke say this, he thought that this was the reason why he didn't say it, and said indifferently: "I just asked you to tell me, how can I talk to anyone." You kid, just because of this, you don't think about it, it's too decent. ”

Wang Ke understood that Comrade Li Er had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not because of this reason, it's really that the minister's identity is not qualified." ”

Comrade Li Er was a little impatient, and said unhappily: "Just hurry up and say, is it possible that you still want to eat here in me?" ”

Wang Ke choked, this Comrade Li Er is really a scoundrel, just like this, he put everything on his head.

Wang Ke shook his head and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you should first talk to the ministers about the few people you are considering, and let the ministers think about it." ”

Comrade Li Er rolled his eyes and said: "Why do I want to talk to you first, I want you to say what I want to say, not for you to think about the candidates I said." Just tell me who you think is the right fit. ”

Wang Ke is completely collapsed now, he has been talking about it for a long time, and he still has to say it himself.

As soon as these words come out, if they really spread it in the future, then I really don't want to 'mix'. But now Comrade Li Er has also made cruel remarks, and if he doesn't say it, it seems that he will not be able to pass the test today.

Wang Ke thought about it, gritted his teeth, or said! It's a big deal that in the future, it's just to offend a few people, and you can still 'mix' it yourself. can offend Comrade Li Er, that is, there is really no 'mix'.

Wang Ke thought for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that after several headquarters are built, the position of the secretary of the military department can be replaced, and General Li Jing, no, should be called Marshal Li Jing now, and transferred to the General Staff Headquarters." ”

When Comrade Li Er heard Wang Ke say this, he also said: "I also think the same way, but I don't know who to 'hand over' the position of the secretary of the military department. ”

Wang Ke was also very few candidates for this person, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is now a pure, only for the management of military officers, at most when it comes to military cooperation with other small countries, or negotiations. In the future, the entire military operation will be managed by several headquarters, so the post of secretary of the military department can be completely delegated to a civilian official, that is, the military attache will do it. Of course, it's okay, but this position seems to be relatively leisurely, and I'm afraid that these people won't want to do it. ”

Comrade Li Er sighed and said: "Let's let the military attache do it, after all, it is still considered the army, as for this candidate, let's discuss it again." Transferring Li Jing out, I also thought the same. ”

Wang Ke was silent for a while, he really didn't think about the candidates for the other two headquarters, he still wanted to go back to his home, ask his father Wang Si, and see who among the old killers in the DPRK and China can be competent, and then put forward his opinion.

Wang Ke cautiously said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, the minister really can't say it for a while, and I ask the emperor to allow the minister to go home and think about it carefully to see who is the most suitable candidate for these positions." ”

Comrade Li Er thought about it, and also felt that it was not very appropriate to let Wang Ke say it in such a hurry. So he said, "Okay, I'll let you go today, and you'll come back tomorrow and tell me who is the best." ”

Wang Ke bargained and said, "Your Majesty, can you have a few more days, the minister has to think carefully." ”

Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke with a tricky look and said, "Okay, I'll give you one more day, I can't say more, if I can't say it then, I will ask you for your guilt." ”

Wang Ke had no choice but to smile bitterly and thank you, and came out of the palace to go home.
