Xia Yan didn't know whether Yan Song's fear was true or false, but because of this, he looked down on Yan Song in his heart, and felt more and more that it was a correct choice for him to help Yan Song take the position.

After all, at present, it seems that Yan Song is favored by the emperor, but he is not a rigid person.

Xia Yan didn't go around the bend with Yan Song, and said directly: "You are highly valued by Your Majesty, and you have contributed to the society, you can be described as a capable minister of the country, and the old man intends to nominate you as a cabinet minister in the political department!" ”

Xia Yan glanced at Yan Song as he spoke.

Yan Song instinctively raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Yan, and couldn't help but take a step forward, but then hurriedly lowered his eyelids: "Yuan Fu means to nominate the minister as a cabinet minister, this, how can he ...... in Xiade?"

"You don't have to be modest, the old man knows that you should have entered the cabinet a long time ago, but someone doesn't want you to enter, you should know who doesn't want you to enter, you have been in the Ministry of Agriculture for so many years, and you have repeatedly offended anyone, you should know that you are a businessman!"

Xia Yan slapped his hand on the table as he spoke: "Xu Jin's eyes are unlawless, he is a foreign businessman, a fisherman who benefits the people, he is bribed and greedy, and even almost ruined my Ming Qianqiu foundation several times, if this thief is not removed, it is not good for the country;

Moreover, he also relied on himself to clear the stream, manipulated the matter of the storage position, and belittled the turbidity ministers, not to mention that you are not a minister, he Xu Jin has been in power for a day, not to mention that you are Yan Song is difficult to be safe, this official is also difficult to be safe, His Majesty is also difficult to sit on this country, the people of the world are also difficult to be safe, and it is difficult for the eldest son of the emperor to inherit the unification! ”

Yan Song saw Xia Yan so aggressively counting Xu Jin's guilt, and felt that his momentum was dominant, but also deeply felt, and he couldn't help but think of the fact that he was humiliated by Hou Lu in the past, and the reason was that his political behavior was not in line with the interests of businessmen, which meant that he and Xu Jin would definitely not be able to get together.

Although there is no direct evidence that Xu Jin is related to Hou Lu, Yan Song, like most officials, believes that Hou Lu's confession is not false, but that Xu Jin is too cunning.

Of course, Yan Song heard Xia Yan say this, and also understood that Xia Yan couldn't tolerate Xu Jin, and wanted to support himself, but he also had to promise Xia Yan some promises.

Yan Song listened to Xia Yan's words, which meant that he supported the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince, and he should have been the Liangzi who began to form a relationship with Xu Jin when Zhou Luo and others were not as good as Lixian, but no matter what, Xu Jin is now regarded as the common enemy of himself and Xia Yan.

Therefore, Yan Song decided to promise Xia Yan: "Thanks to Yuanfu's attention, the lower officials will obey Yuanfu's order!" ”

Xia Yan smiled, and saw that Yan Song agreed: "Wait for the news." ”

……

At this time, Xu Jin also began to secretly discuss with his comrades who should be promoted as cabinet ministers.

Yan Song was naturally not in his consideration.

"Yuan Wei, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is the major shareholder of the largest commercial bank in Cixi, Zhejiang, and is the master of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the teacher may wish to recommend Yuan Shilang and sell it to the second prince, and now the eldest prince naturally can't count on it, these two princes have always loved the virtuous, but they can take this opportunity to show goodness."

Xu Jin's student Deng Dong couldn't help but say.

Xu Jin also nodded: "Yuan Gongwen is romantic, a noble minister, and a Tanhua background, which is naturally very suitable, but there are not only old men among the ministers of the council, in addition to the first assistant, there are also Zhang Rong and Jiangdong, so you have to tell the second prince about this, Xu Jin is willing to do his best, but there is no guarantee that it must be him." ”

"The teacher breaks early, and the student retires!"

Deng Dong naturally understood the meaning of Xu Jin's words, and it seemed that it was impossible to guarantee, but in fact, he told the ministers of parliament who were still known to the outside world.

In this way, there is no need for Xu Jin to move around in person, and Yuan Wei and the second prince behind him naturally know how to move around.

Although the new way of court pushing, the new way of decision-making in the court, although not yet known to the whole world, the top officials of the empire no longer have the leisure to criticize how much power they will lose by this reform, but have adapted to this change, and have begun to use the new rules to win more benefits for themselves.

……

Zhu Houzhao also knew about these movements from Xichang here, but he didn't make a noise about it, he was happy to see the civil ministers and generals under him running back and forth for promotion and knighthood, fighting for power, he just needed to ensure that the general direction of the empire remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty, Yan Song and Xia Yan have been secretly discussing for a long time at the Institute of Agricultural Sciences today, and this is what they said."

Xichang Gao Zhong handed the notebook to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao took a cursory look, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "History doesn't seem to have changed, these two people are still walking together, but I don't know if they will part ways in the future and are incompatible with each other." ”

Early the next morning.

The Council Office reconvened.

Zhu Houzhao still came here in person, and Xia Yan still read out the list of suitable candidates for promotion to cabinet ministers.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yan began to announce his own recommendation: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended the Ministry of Agriculture Shangshu Yan Gong to enter the cabinet, Yan Gong is a Jinshi of Hongzhi for 18 years, is an old man who seeks the country, has always loved the people and is loyal to the king, and is especially good at dealing with sudden disasters, good at solving people's difficulties, such as today's peace, the number of people is increasing rapidly, the cabinet needs to have a good minister who is good at people's livelihood, so the minister recommends Yan Gong to enter the cabinet." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, he knew that yesterday, none of the four ministers in front of him were idle, and they were all secretly engaged in all kinds of cooperation, and now Zhu Houzhao deliberately disrupted the deployment in the meantime, and directly named him: "Second assistant Xu Qing, you first tell me your opinion." ”

Xu Jin was stunned for a while, he originally wanted to wait for Zhang Rong to say it first, after all, didn't Xia Yan say it yesterday, it should have been the British Gong Zhang Rong, the military minister, who said it first, but now that the emperor named him, he couldn't resist the decree, so he had to cast an apologetic look at the British Gong Zhang Rong first, and then said: "The minister recommended Yuan Gong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to enter the cabinet, Yuan Gong has a good character and literary talent, and the cabinet is the political center of the world. ”

After Xu Jin said this, he glanced at Xia Yan, and there was no lack of provocation in his eyes.

Xia Yan only smiled slightly, just waiting for Zhang Rong and Jiang Dong to speak.

Xu Jin also waited for Zhang Rong and Jiang Dong to speak, although he had to sigh that Da Ming had actually reached the point where the election of a cabinet scholar was decided by a martial artist, but he was still confident that Zhang Rong and Jiang Dong would support him, after all, he also believed in the energy of the second prince, and also believed that it was impossible for these two people not to give face to the prince.

Zhang Rong and Jiang Dong did feel a headache at first, because Xia Yan was undoubtedly willing to support them in their hearts, but they couldn't help but give the face of the second prince.

However, Zhang Rong and Jiang Dong were fortunate that His Majesty the Emperor let Xu Jin speak first, which made Zhang Rong and Jiang Dong have an idea all of a sudden.

Zhang Rong first said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the ministers abstain from power, whether it is Duke Yan or Duke Yuan, the ministers can't choose, they are all ministers of the country, and whoever enters the cabinet is a blessing in the world!" ”

Jiang Dong also said: "Your Majesty, the minister also abstained, this is really difficult to choose, the holy monarch is in power, there are no virtuous people in the countryside, there are no mediocre people in the court, and the two of them can enter the cabinet!" ”

Abstained?!

They all abstained?!

Xia Yan was very surprised, he didn't expect that these two people would abstain from voting!

Xu Jin didn't expect it, he couldn't help shouting in his heart: "Why did you abstain, what can't be chosen, yesterday you were not very decisive in the selection of the Ministry of Officials, but why did you abstain today, the face of the second prince is useless, I, Xu Jin, don't believe that His Royal Highness the Second Prince did not greet you!" ”

Zhang Rong showed an apologetic look to both Xia Yan and Xu Jin, if Zhu Houzhao hadn't first let Xu Jin express his opinion after Xia Yan and let him know that the person recommended by Xu Jin was the same as the person recommended by the second prince, he would not know what to do, and he wouldn't know whether to give Xia Yan face or face to the second prince.

After all, giving Xia Yan face is giving face to the eldest prince, not to mention that Xia Yan and his own people have the same interests, but now that the storage position is undecided, the second prince can't be offended.

Therefore, Zhang Rong couldn't make a choice before Xu Jin said it, but now it's okay, he knows that Xu Jin has the same meaning as the second prince, so he just abstained and kicked the ball to Jiangdong, and let Jiangdong decide whether to help the emperor's eldest son or the emperor's second son.

Jiang Dong naturally and Zhang Rong also abstained and kicked the ball to Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

"These two old foxes!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, he naturally knew that this Zhang Rong and Jiangdong wanted to offend each other.

Zhu Houzhao naturally knew in advance that the two were in a dilemma, so he asked Xu Jin to express his opinion first, and he also expected that if he did this, the two would abstain.

In this case, the decision on the choice of the cabinet still falls on himself, the emperor.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao was not unhappy after secretly scolding these two people, but said; "The British Duke and Jiang Aiqing abstained, and Xia Qing recommended Yan Song, and Xu Jin recommended Yuan Wei, you two can make various statements."

"The ministers obey the order, enlighten Your Majesty, the cabinet is not better than the locality, governing a large country is like cooking a small fresh, and the cabinet as the center, naturally needs the old minister to sit in charge, although Yuan Gong is talented, but it is inevitable that there is literary talent but no talent, the Ministry of Etiquette is okay, but it is inevitable that the cabinet minister is not good at secular affairs", Xia Yan said first.

And Xu Jin also said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the promotion should be the first priority, the strict public is soft and flattering, and he is a man who has a beard and a horse, and it is not suitable for a minister!" And Yuan Gongde is highly respected and admired by the world, so it is more suitable to be a minister in the world! ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, he could see that Xu Jin was also very dissatisfied with Yan Song, and it was more obvious than Xia Yan's unwillingness to let Yuan Wei enter the cabinet.

However, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to let a Qingliu official like Yuan Wei or an official from a southern businessman enter the cabinet, because once Yuan Wei entered the cabinet, Xu Jin would be like a tiger with wings, and the cabinet would become a Qingliu department, and the imperial court's major policy of external expansion could not be maintained.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao still said: "Since this is the case, I have made up my mind!" ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Xia Yan and Xu Jin as he spoke, and he naturally decided to let Yan Song enter the cabinet, after all, Yan Song at least had the advantage of being obedient, but he couldn't let Xu Jin see his deep purpose, so he deliberately pulled Xia Yan out to block the gun:

"After all, Xia Qing is the first assistant, in order to support Xia Qing's government affairs in the cabinet, so it is proposed that Yan Song be a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, enter the cabinet for pre-maintenance, and add a young master! Still in charge of the ministry! ”

Lost?

Lost again?

The reason is actually because Xia Yan is the first assistant, and the emperor also wants to give the first assistant face!

Xu Jin was naturally extremely depressed in his heart, especially when he saw Xia Yan's smug look, he was even more anxious for a while, and he couldn't help but turn pale, and took a few steps back.

"Xu Qing looks very bad, let's disperse the dynasty, remember to see the imperial doctor after the dispersal of the dynasty, and discuss the recommendation of the position of the imperial history of the left capital tomorrow", Zhu Houzhao got up and left as he spoke, and then couldn't help but snicker, he could imagine how depressed Xu Jin's mood was now, the official department was not a person from his own faction, and now he was not even a newly supplemented cabinet university.

Xu Jin was indeed very depressed, but because of this, he hated this way of pushing more and more: "This kind of system of ministers is clearly beneficial to him Xia Yan!" ”

Xu Jin naturally thinks so, because Xu Jin's weight is that many civil officials below support him, and Xia Yan is because he is favored by the emperor, so if it is the previous court push, Xu Jin can operate the court push candidates by supporting his own civil officials, and now the number of participants in the court push is small, and except for himself, they are all close to Xia Yan, and even the emperor who plays the final decisive role is closer to Xia Yan.

Therefore, Xu Jin naturally hates the current way of pushing by the Minister of Parliament.

But Xu Jin didn't dare to raise his own objections, so he could only follow this system, and he had to work hard to plan how to take down the important position of Zuodu Yushi, that is, let his people still control the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Tomorrow's council will want the court to promote the post of Zuodu Yushi, and now the official department has become Wen Yuan, and the new cabinet minister has become Yan Song, none of them are officials of our merchant class, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate is no longer in our hands, how can we, the officials of the merchant class, seek more rights and interests for the propertied people!"

Zhu Longxi, the right attendant of the school, couldn't help but say to the same party after relaying the news provided by Xu Jin.

"It's a shame that this minister of parliament was filled by a group of martial arts ministers, and there is really no way in the world! It's just that I don't know who the cabinet elder intends to push for the general constitution, but what can be done? ”

Huang Rugui couldn't help but ask.

"What the elder of the pavilion means is that he has expected that Xia Yan will recommend his fellow villager Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to serve as the imperial history of the left capital, and the elder of the pavilion intends to promote Cheng Gong, the secretary of the school, and now he has to find a way to make the other two ministers willing to nominate Cheng Gong, fortunately, Cheng Gong and Jiang Gong are in-laws, so Jiang Gong is undoubtedly supporting Cheng Gong, and now the key is the British Gong Zhang Rong."

Zhu Longxi said.

"According to the meaning of the elder, we need to immediately jointly impeach Xia Yan, so that the British Duke Zhang Rong and Xia Yan have to keep their distance, and at the same time, the second prince will come forward to persuade the British Duke again", Zhu Longxi said and then took out the note: "If you have no objections, this joint note will be submitted?" ”

There was no objection to this.

And Xia Yan also said to Yan Song here: "The old man intends to recommend Wu Shan, he, like you and me, is from Jiangyou, and Wu Shan has always been upright, and more importantly, he, like Wen Gong, supports the establishment of a long line, and the storage position cannot be hung for a long time!" ”

"Yuanfu is really smart", Yan Song flattered.

……

At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who was in the deep palace, also learned the news of these civil officials moving in private from Xichang, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing: "It is true that they all have their own thoughts, but I still have the final say in the world!" ”
