So, Zheng Wen smiled and said, "Very good! Since this is the case, I will order Liu Qing to be the minister of Jiangnan, give Shang Fang the sword, and have full authority to handle all matters in Jiangnan! ”

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. Liu Jian immediately responded loudly.

"Very good, I will allocate 10,000 Yulin troops as Qing's guards, and I Xu Qing can mobilize the garrison in Jiangnan with full authority." Zheng Wen said to Liu Jian again. Although the garrison in Jiangnan is almost none, there are still some.

Zheng Wen said this, just to let the important ministers present understand Zheng Wen's favor for Liu Jian.

Obviously, Liu Jian also understood, so he said with red eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" At this time, Liu Jian was indeed a little moved.

At this time, Zheng Wen suddenly said: "As for the leading officials of the household department, Wang Cheng, the left attendant of the household department, will serve as the official!" ”

"No!" Yang Bo replied. Although he didn't understand His Majesty's thoughts, Yang Bo obviously wouldn't refute this kind of thing.

Could it be that His Majesty wants to promote Wang Cheng?

Hehe, everyone's minds are different.

At this time, Zheng Wen opened his mouth again: "Isn't there a shortage of right people in this household department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites?" Isn't the Inspectorate lacking a history of the left capital? We also discussed it together today, and completed all the important teams of the court. ”

"Wang Shangshu is a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, so let's talk about who is the candidate first?"

So, Wang Yong, the secretary of the ministry, said loudly: "Your Majesty, these three official positions are all key official positions in the court, Your Majesty of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites may wish to ask the opinions of the three scholars, and the position of the imperial history of the left capital should be promoted by the officials who have recently made meritorious contributions, and the minister recommended Guo Huai, the secretary of Dali Temple, to take up the post." ”

Zhou Kuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also said: "Your Majesty, Guo Huai, the secretary of Dali Temple, has been conscientious and outstanding these days, and the minister also recommended Guo Huai to serve as the imperial history of the left capital. ”

Zheng Wen listened, and then he spoke: "Do you have different opinions?" ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one else spoke, it was obviously a tacit acquiescence, after all, according to the practice of the court, it is common sense for Guo Huai, who has made meritorious contributions, to take this position, and there is no need for them to speak out against it.

Seeing this, Zheng Wen opened his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, then Guo Huai will be appointed as the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and as for the Dali Temple Qing that he vacated, he will be appointed by Yin Yangbo of Yanjing Mansion, and he will be the Yin of Yanjing Mansion for a period of time!" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were shocked, and they immediately understood that Yang Bo was afraid that he had left a good image in His Majesty's heart, otherwise, it would be impossible for His Majesty to force Yang Bo to serve as the secretary of Dali Temple, and also recognize Yanjing Mansion Yin. But there is no need for them to object, because Yang Bo has made a meritorious contribution to this incident.

As for Zheng Wen, he is simply a scoundrel within the rules, originally according to the rules, Guo Huai's vacated Dali Temple Secretary should not be appointed by Yang Bo, because he is not qualified enough.

In the Daqian court, Dali Siqing is a number of high-ranking officials, and he is a high-ranking official after the prime minister, the six Shangshu, the privy envoy, the envoy of the Jingying Festival, and the inspector Chazuo Yushi. As for Yang Bo, Yanjing Mansion Yin, according to his qualifications, this promotion will be at most to the position of the right attendant of the sixth department, and it is not a top department.

But Zheng Wen just forced the ministers to pass by force, but the ministers must be a little uncomfortable in their hearts, just once or twice, if you want to do it again and again, then you have to do it.

So, Zheng Wen spoke again: "Sun Aiqing, you can recommend one of the right servants of your Ministry of Industry, and I will listen to it too!" I have visited the Ministry of Works, and what I promised you is about to come true. Zheng Wen said a little half-happily.

When the ministers heard this, they were very helpless in their hearts, and it seemed that the recommendation of Sun Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was not good.

When Sun Hua heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended the military superintendent to be appointed as Zheng An, at this time he was born as a jinshi, and he is also proficient in technology, and he is a rare all-round official in the Ministry of Industry, and it is just right for him to serve as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry!" ”

Zheng Wen heard it, it was Long Yan Dayue, this kind of official was poking his mind, so he laughed and said: "Sun Qing is good, just in line with my intentions!" What is the opinion of the Secretaries? ”

Zheng Wen asked again as if he was asking for everyone's opinions.

The ministers had no choice but to cooperate and said: "The ministers have no opinion! ”

So Zheng Wen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll appoint Android as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry." ”

"Then Yang Qing of the household department will talk about the candidate for the right attendant of the household department."

Yang Bo, the secretary of the household department, said: "Your Majesty, the time for the minister to be in the household department is quite short, and there is no specific candidate, so let the adults recommend it!" ”

Is there really no one in Yang Bo's heart? How is it possible, after decades of being an official, there are always some people of his own or people who are good friends with him, but he can't recommend them.

First, he has just served as the head of the household department, and he can't be so ugly, this is an unspoken rule of politics; The second is that he is not qualified enough, before he served as the head of the household department, he was only the imperial history of the left capital of the Inspectorate, and he can only be regarded as a high-ranking official of the court, and cannot be said to be an important minister of the court. So he can't recommend it.

When Zheng Wen heard this, he knew it in his heart, so he said, "Who is the candidate for the secretary?" ”

Liu Jian opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Kong Xuan, the county guard of Jinan County, this person is a Jinshi in the first year of Jianqi, he is forty years old, and he is the forty-first grandson of Kong Shengren, and this person is quite famous in Shandong!" It is just right for this person to serve as the right attendant of the household department. ”

Zheng Wen listened, but frowned, this he had seen from the intelligence of Jinyiwei, the retreat is not pragmatic, it is all because of the name of Confucius's descendants to have a great reputation, although he has not done anything bad, but he has not done anything practical, the three words "inaction" are the best evaluation of him.

Zheng Wen also heard about one of his things. In the thirteenth year of Jianqi, when he was just appointed as the county guard of Jinan, he heard that there was a woman who had been widowed for five years in Jinan, and this woman swore not to marry again for the rest of her life to keep the festival for her dead husband. And Zheng Wen, who has served as the county guard of Jinan County for three years, has never heard of him doing any practical things!

Zheng Wen thinks that this person is afraid that his brain is sick, you are a county guard, and you don't care about the county's government affairs, taxes, and food, since you care about the problem of whether the women in the county keep the festival or not, Zheng Wen can't spare his hands now, otherwise he would have let him go home. This kind of person is a waste in Zheng Wen's eyes!

So, Zheng Wen had no choice but to say with disgust: "It's not appropriate." What other opinions do you have? ”

Liu Jian was a little strange, so he asked: "Your Majesty, this Kong Xuan has a good reputation, he is honest and honest, and he is a rare clean official!" ”

Zheng Wen heard this, but he laughed angrily, and then said, "What about the Qing officials? In my eyes, this person is a waste, the keeper of a county, he doesn't care about government affairs, but worries about whether women keep festivals or not, and he has been the county keeper of Jinan for three years. Benefiting one household and one people? How much fertile land has been cultivated? How many accounts have been added in Jinan? ”

"In my eyes, what is not waste? I want competent officials, not moral gentlemen! ”

When Liu Jian heard this, he was speechless for a while, but his heart was shocked.

But the people below are moved in their hearts, it seems that this majesty wants a practical official. Moreover, in the future, His Majesty's governing ideas will probably have to add the word "hard work".

At this time, Wang Yong, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Taiyuan County Shou Zhang Jun, this person is the first year of the establishment of the Enke Jinshi, now forty-three years old, this person has served as the county Cheng, the county order, the county Cheng, the household Langzhong, the county guard, is a practical talent, for the official 16 years, conscientious, the Ministry of his assessment is excellent, this person is suitable for the right servant of the household. ”

Zheng Wen listened, although he didn't have any information about this person in his mind, but Wang Yong, as a secretary of the ministry, couldn't lie to himself, although he had agreed in his heart, he still opened his mouth and said: "What about this person Wang Qing said? ”

Yang Bo opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a memory of this person, this Zhang Jun is indeed a rare practical official, and he is also very honest, and he is indeed a suitable candidate to serve as the right attendant of the household department." ”

The others saw that the two bigwigs agreed, but it was difficult to refute them, so they stopped talking.

When Zheng Wen saw it, he opened his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, I will immediately order Zhang Jun to return to Beijing and serve as the right attendant of the household department. ”

"No!" Wang Yong responded loudly.

"That's good! In this case, isn't there still a right attendant of the Ministry of Rites? Qian Aiqing is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so you can recommend one. Zheng Wen spoke again.

Qian Chang listened, was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the courtier recommended Cai Wei, the priest of the country, to be the right attendant of the ceremonial department, this person has been a twenty-three year old jinshi, is fifty-three years old, is very knowledgeable, proficient in many foreign Chinese, and is also familiar with etiquette, so it is just right to serve as the right attendant of the ceremonial department." ”

Zheng Wen listened, he still had some impression of this person, he had seen it in the last dynasty, a handsome uncle, very handsome, otherwise Zheng Wen would not have had an impression.

So, Zheng Wen said again: "What do you think of this person Qian Qing said?" ”

The people below said in unison: "The ministers have no opinion! ”

Zheng Wen was a little curious in his heart, what kind of person is this Cai Wei? After Qian Chang proposed it, these important ministers agreed without hesitation. Is it really so advantageous to be handsome? Is this the age of looking at faces?

Zheng Wen was a little puzzled in his heart, but what he thought was that he must go down to check this person!

So Zheng Wen opened his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, then appoint Cai Wei as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

"As for the sacrificial wine of the country, you can appoint it by yourself, report the personnel to me, and then report to the Ministry of Officials."

"No!" Qian Chang responded with a look of surprise.

Zheng Wen looked at the important ministers, and then said, "What else is there to do?" If not, disperse! ”

"Wait for the resignation!" All the ministers saluted Zheng Wen and exited the imperial study.
