This time, regarding the recommendation of Zuodu Yushi, Xu Jin is very confident.

After all, Cheng Wende, whom he recommended, can at least be sure that there are two votes, that is, himself and the privy deputy Jiangdong.

"As long as the British public supports Cheng Wende, Cheng Wende will be able to get three votes and overpower Xia Yan with an absolute advantage, and His Majesty will no longer favor Xia Yan at that time! Besides, His Majesty can't let the Ministry of Ministers, the New Cabinet Ministers, and the Zuodu Imperial History all be Xia Yan's people, and the British General Assembly can't dare to sweep the face of the second prince and abstain from voting. ”

The more Xu Jin thought about it, the more he felt that he had a chance to win, and he couldn't help but glance at Xia Yan, and the more he looked at it, the less he felt that Xia Yan could have any advantage to block his plan to promote Cheng Wende to be the imperial history of the left capital.

Xia Yan was indeed not sure if he could ensure that Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry whom he had promoted, could become the imperial history of the Zuodu, but he also did not have such a strong desire.

Unlike Xu Jin and other civil officials who represented the interests of the merchant class, Xia Yan did not think of restricting the imperial power and fighting for the interests of the merchants, but only thought of relying on the imperial power to ensure that the country continued to be stable and strong.

Therefore, Xia Yan's true idea in his heart is to try to keep the empire in a balanced state, but it also means to realize his political intentions in balance.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhu Houzhao spoke first: "The power and responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are very heavy, and the supervision of civil and military affairs is the foundation of the legal system of the imperial court and the cornerstone of ensuring social justice. What a disappointment for me! ”

"Therefore, the candidates for the imperial history of the left capital must be rigorous, and the people who are recommended need to be self-denying and dedicated, if they make the upper and lower impassables, I will ask them for their responsibility!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he glanced at the British public Zhang Rong and said: "The position of the imperial history of the left capital, there is no need to be confined to civil and military, and those who do not hide their selfishness and are not biased can be promoted!" ”

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he asked the four ministers to start the nomination.

Xia Yan naturally recommended Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry: "Your Majesty, Wu Gong is known for his uprightness, and he is an upright official, and he has never been greedy for ink in presiding over various projects, which is suitable for the post of imperial history of the left capital." ”

"Your Majesty, although the Duke of Wu cited by Yuan Fu is upright and upright, he is also too rigid, and the minister thinks that if Duke Wu is allowed to do the imperial history of the left capital, there is no doubt that His Majesty will put shackles on all officials, which will make the entire Ming Dynasty become rigid and old-fashioned", Xu Jin directly replied to Xia Yan's proposal.

Immediately, this Xu Jin said: "The minister recommended Cheng Gong, the secretary of the school, Cheng Gong is an upright official, and he has always had a mind and bearing, and Cheng Gong is in charge of the affairs of the court, which can undoubtedly make the court more politically and harmonious." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Cheng Wende is not suitable for the position of general constitution, Cheng Wende is good at words, so flattering and bullying, and he will be more harmonious, the minister is worried that if Cheng Wende is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he will be the same as Ni Song, so that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be fine, but the world is full of major events because of this!"

Xia Yan also unceremoniously pointed out Cheng Wende's shortcomings.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Xia Yan and Xu Jin were arguing again, so he couldn't help but hold his forehead, and hurriedly said, "Okay, let the British Duke and Jiang Aiqing express their opinions." ”

Thereupon.

The British public Zhang Rong stepped forward first and saluted Zhu Houzhao.

Xu Jin smiled slightly when he saw this, and glanced at Xia Yan very proudly, he was now just waiting for the British public Zhang Rong to speak, and he expressed his support for Cheng Wende as the imperial history of the left capital.

Xia Yan also noticed Xu Jin's expression, and he also began to secretly wonder if Xu Jin would reach any compromise with the British Gong Zhang Rong and pull the British Gong Zhang Rong over, otherwise, he would not be so confident.

Just when Xu Jin was looking forward to it and Xia Yan was very worried, the British Duke opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, the minister implores you to let Deputy Envoy Jiang speak first, the minister has not thought about it yet." ”

"Accurate!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, he could see that when Zhang Rong said this, it showed that the prompt he had just made Zhang Rong change his initial thoughts in his heart, and he began to move, considering whether to recommend his military ministers to serve as the imperial history of the left capital.

Xu Jin saw that Zhang Rong said that he hadn't thought about it yet, and there were accidents, but he was not disappointed, thinking that maybe this British prince Zhang Rong also got some promise from Xia Yan, and was hesitating whether to support Xia Yan's proposed candidate to serve as the imperial history of the left capital, or should he support the person he proposed, that is, the person supported by the second prince, to be elected as the imperial history of the left capital.

Xia Yan couldn't help but glance at Xu Jin, and did not hide his disgust for Xu Jin in his heart.

Because, he could see that the reason why the British Duke hesitated must be because Xu Jin's side put pressure on him, and he couldn't help but say proudly: "Your Majesty has repeatedly ordered that it is strictly forbidden for the Minister of Parliament to collude in private, and this Xu Jin really dares to commit a crime against the wind!" ”

Xia Yan dared to say this, naturally he had confidence, because he did not have any collusion with the auxiliary minister Zhang Rong and Jiangdong in private, he used a yang scheme, he believed that as long as he directly put forward a plan that was beneficial to himself, Zhang Rong and Jiangdong on the surface, he could reach an agreement directly, and naturally there was no need to collude in private.

Jiang Dong didn't expect that the British Gong Zhang Rong would ask His Majesty to let him speak first, but he didn't think it mattered, after all, he already had an idea about the recommendation for the post of Zuodu Imperial History this time, not to mention that the second prince said hello, but he didn't say hello, and he didn't look at the face of the second prince, he also had to recommend his in-laws, Cheng Wende.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommended Cheng Gong to serve as the imperial history of Zuodu, during the period of Cheng Gong's Department of Science, he has always been fair and strict, and teachers and students are all praised......"

Koto sat down after saying a bunch of very objective reasons.

Xu Jin saw that Jiang Dong expressed his support for Cheng Wende, and he was naturally very pleased in his heart, although he could already guess that Jiang Dong supported Cheng Wende as the imperial history of the left capital, so that Xu Jin couldn't help but glance at Xia Yan, the beard at the corner of his mouth trembled, and his smug look was fully revealed.

"This Jiangdong, a good man who does not shy away from relatives!"

Xia Yan scolded in his heart, he didn't expect Jiangdong to be so unshy about recommending his in-laws.

Zhu Houzhao could see that Xu Jin, the leader of Qingliu who represented the merchant class, had a high probability of winning the competition for the first official position in the imperial history of the left capital.

Of course, this was only before the intervention of himself, the emperor.

Now, the emperor himself has intervened, and the natural result is different.

Although Zhu Houzhao knew that the emperor should strike a balance and not let one family dominate, he was not willing to let the clear flow go too big to the point of affecting the major policies of the imperial court.

Therefore, after Zhu Houzhao knew that Yan Song, the new cabinet minister, was in alliance with Xia Yan, he was unwilling to let Qingliu officials serve as the imperial history of the left capital, which made Xu Jin and others qualified to compete with Xia Yan's forces, and even suppressed Xia Yan.

However, Zhu Houzhao also knew that Xia Yan could not be allowed to be too powerful, and if the Metropolitan Procuratorate obeyed the orders of the cabinet, it would also affect his imperial power.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao hopes that a third-party force will intervene to make the political pattern of the dynasty more balanced, after all, the triangle is more stable.

"British duke, have you thought about it?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao's prompt let the British Duke Zhang Rong know what to do, so Zhang Rong replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister recommends Yang Lan, the former governor of the former capital and the deputy chief soldier of the current police department, to serve as the imperial history of the left capital!" ”

"Although Yang Lan is a son of a military minister, he is a top student of Beijing Normal University, and has been in charge of the Military Justice Department of the Guards for six years, he is upright, not afraid of power, and once dared to impeach the governor Shi Baoshan for lawlessness, and because of this, he has been repeatedly not tolerated by the ministers, resulting in no way to be promoted, and the ministers ask His Majesty to reuse it!"

Zhu Houzhao knew that Yang Lan was transferred to a civilian position after being disabled due to the war, but he had never been promoted, and now when he saw Zhang Rong mention it, he nodded: "Yang Lan is indeed very suitable, what do you think?" ”

At this time, Xia Yan, Xu Jin, and Jiang Dong all had blank brains, and they didn't expect Zhang Rong to recommend Yang Lan, who was born as a military general, to serve as the imperial history of the left capital.

The most shocked and disappointed was Xu Jin, he really didn't expect that the British public Zhang Rong would launch a martial arts future.

Let a military general serve as the imperial history of the left capital, isn't this let the military general manage the Wenchen, if it goes on like this, how can the imperial historian take care of the Wenchen!

Xu Jin was naturally a hundred unwilling in his heart.

However, Zhang Rong is extremely willing to do this.

He didn't dare to nominate an official of his military rank and noble system to take charge of the Imperial Procuratorate, after all, he also knew that the official position of Zuodu Yushi had always been regarded as a position that could only be held by civil officials.

But when Zhang Rong was prompted by His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Houzhao and heard Zhu Houzhao say that there was no need to stick to civil and military affairs and make eyes on himself, he began to move, although he was indeed greeted by the second prince and was hinted by the second prince that he should not abstain again.

However, Zhang Rong thought that it was better to please the emperor than to please the second prince, not to mention that he could get benefits by pleasing the emperor, and realize the precedent of military ministers serving in senior civilian positions, so that in the future, there is also hope that military ministers and nobles will become prime ministers, and it will further change the situation that military attaches have been pressed by civil ministers.

As for the second prince, in front of the interests of the emperor and himself, he is naturally nothing.

The decision of the British public Zhang Rong doomed him to offend the second prince, but it did cater to Zhu Houzhao, and he also began to fight for the interests of his military attache group.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, the British prince Zhang Rong did not choose to be his prince's lackey, but still chose to be loyal to himself, which naturally made him happy.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Yan also stood up first:

"Your Majesty and the British Duke value Yang Lan, the minister thought about it, and also felt that Yang Lan was more suitable than Wu Shan, and the minister also asked His Majesty for guilt, when Wu Shan was first promoted, the minister was selfish, because Wu Shan was a fellow minister, although he did not avoid relatives, but the most important thing for the post of Zuo Du Yushi was justice, so in order to maintain the discipline of the imperial court, the minister thought that it was more appropriate to promote Yang Lan! Wu Shan is a fellow countryman of the minister, even if he is recommended, he should not be recommended by the minister! ”

When Xia Yan said this, it seemed that he was pleading himself, but in fact, he was showing his justice to the emperor, and at the same time, he was also mocking Jiangdong.

Jiang Dong really couldn't help blushing, and couldn't help but arch his hand: "In this case, the minister also asks for guilt, he shouldn't recommend Cheng Wende, Cheng Wende is the minister's in-law, and the minister abstains!" ”

"Good, good!" Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Zhong Aiqing can clearly observe his own mistakes, know shame and then be brave, it can be said that it is a good atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, of course, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, you are not wrong, now it is still discussing the selection of the left capital imperial history, since Yuan Fu changed to promote Yang Luan, that is the three votes, since this is the case, the proposed purpose, the police department Shangshu Yang Lan is the left capital imperial history, and the capital is in charge of the affairs of the imperial court." ”

"Obey the Divine Commandment!"

Xia Yan replied first, to show that he was very supportive of Yang Luan as the imperial history of the left capital.

Of course, Xia Yan changed his mind halfway and was willing to support the military generals to take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was not true that it was because the emperor and the British Duke Zhang Rong intended to let Yang Lan take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he had to follow the crowd.

Rather, he also considered that letting Yang Lan take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate not only catered to the wishes of the Lord, but also prevented Xu Jin and the prince behind him from taking advantage of the opportunity to control the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and at the same time, he also sold a good deal to the British public Zhang Rong, so as to completely pull Zhang Rong into his camp.

Xu Jin felt as if he had been slapped hard at this time, and the whole person was wooden.

Zuodu Yushi is not actually his own comrade!

This is how it will be!

Jiang Dong glanced at Xu Jin helplessly, and raised his eyebrows in the direction of Xia Yan, meaning: "You Xu Cifu also saw it, it's not that I, Jiang, don't want to push my own in-law Cheng Wende, but Shoufu has taken the lead in raising the virtuous and avoiding relatives, and he is also sarcastic about himself, and he can't show favoritism anymore!" ”

"Xia Yan! What a summer speech! ”

Xu Jin really didn't have the heart to be angry with Jiangdong now, but was very angry with Xia Yan, he didn't expect that Xia Yan, a civil official, would rather compromise and let the military ministers take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate than let these Qingliu civil officials take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Because in Xu Jin's view, Xia Yan's behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal of the civilian official group, and he is undoubtedly a traitor!

But in any case, Zhu Houzhao is very satisfied with this result.

The official department of Shangshu, the newly supplemented cabinet ministers, and the imperial history of the left capital were not filled by Qingliu civil officials, which undoubtedly bankrupted the merchant class's plan to manipulate the government.

Even, it succeeded in letting the military generals take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which means that a situation of mutual checks and balances between military generals and civil ministers and military generals has gradually formed.

However, Zhu Houzhao also had to admit that after the court push fraud, in the process of appointing new important ministers at this council, the contradiction between reformist officials like Xia Yan and officials representing the merchant class like Xu Jin was also used more and more by himself.

Xia Yan will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.

Because it was Xia Yan's proposal that allowed him, the emperor, to successfully set up a council office to exclude a large number of civil officials cultivated by the merchant class from the decision-making level of the empire.

As Zhu Houzhao expected.

Soon, Zhu Houzhao received an impeachment from Yushi Han Yiyou for proposing to set up a political office for violating the laws of the ancestors and intending to usurp the power of the regent, and directly said that Xia Yan had 20 crimes, which were listed very clearly, and asked the court to kill Xia Yan! and depose the system of ministers proposed by Xia Yan!

Xia Yan's establishment of the Parliamentary Office is a clear proof, and the impeachment of Shoufu is not an ordinary impeachment note, so Han Yiyou's note can reach the front of the emperor.

However, Zhu Houzhao also knew that Xia Yan's proposal to set up a council office would be dissatisfied with many officials in the world, so he was also mentally prepared.

Zhu Houzhao has only one way to deal with this, that is, to stay in the middle and not send it!

Zhu Houzhao could guess that if he stayed in the middle and did not send it, it would only create a kind of public opinion that he, the emperor, would overly favor Xia Yan and let him take power.

But Zhu Houzhao is not a person who cares about the offensive of public opinion, so even if public opinion says that he believes in Xia Yan and is old and stupid, he is so-called.

But Xia Yan cares about this very much.

As a person in the Ming Dynasty, Xia Yan is not as desperate as Zhu Houzhao, a traverser, and he still cares about his reputation very much.

After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty have a good face, respect saints, respect gentlemen, everyone is self-motivated to become a gentleman, and be praised by others, Xia Yan is no exception, like Zhu Houzhao, who doesn't care about face and only cares about the inside, is only a few.

Therefore, when Han Yiyou's impeachment was learned by Xia Yan, Xia Yan resigned from the government to show that he was not greedy for power and was not the so-called ambitious minister in some people's mouths.
