On April 20 of the fourth year of the Marquis of Wei, Wei Wuji held a grand court meeting.

The last great court meeting was to accept the Song state, and the purpose of this court meeting was to determine the officials of the Song county.

As in the past, the officials were still those officials, and after entering the Wei Palace early, they began to stay in the court, and when the time came, only the attendants informed them to go to the court.

Everything is going according to plan, but there is one more person in the court class today, and this is the original Song Xiang, the monarch of the Song Kingdom.

This is a court meeting to discuss the officials of the Song Dynasty, since Song Xiang chose to be Wei Chen, Wei Wuji naturally wants to give the other party some face and let Song Xiang observe the court meeting.

The ministers stood according to their ranks, and Wei Wuji then appeared in the main hall, and when he was seated, the sound of a mountain sounded in the apse.

"Wait for the ministers to meet the king!" All the ministers bowed.

Wei Wuji's face was dark, because of the matter of the Song County Guard in the past few days, he knew that the Wu'an officials had a lot of activities.

"Today's ascension to the dynasty is only for one thing, that is, to agree on the candidates for the officials of the Song Dynasty!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.

In the main hall, the ministers all listened honestly to Wei Wuji's instructions, and so did Song Xiang.

"Song Qing ......"

When Wei Wuji called Song Xiang, he thought he had misheard, but when he saw that the ministers had turned their attention to him, he hurriedly stood up for the court.

"The minister is here!" Song Xiang replied.

Wei Wuji said: "The widow will implement the county system in Song County, what do you think!" ”

Wei Wuji had asked this before, and Song Xiang didn't expect to hear this question, so he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Wei Wuji nodded, then looked at Guo Liangdong and said, "Prime Minister, the widow asked you to sort out the virtuous county officials, do you have any results?" ”

Guo Liangdong slowly stood up from the court, then took out a booklet from his arms, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the people selected by the ministers are all here, and please ask the king to judge!" ”

After taking the booklet from Yu Zhong's hand, Wei Wuji glanced at it casually, and then said, "Prime Minister has worked hard!" ”

Guo Liangdong's waist bent a little more, and then said: "This minister's responsibility is also!" ”

In fact, Guo Liangdong was also relieved at this time, he finally completed the errand, and he didn't have to worry about not being able to meet the monarch's appetite.

Wei Wuji put the booklet aside, and then said to the ministers: "The position of county officials is selected by the prime minister and others, and Song County is still short of county guards, all monarchs can recommend themselves, and the widows will be appointed as virtuous people!" ”

However, something strange to Wei Wuji appeared.

Although a small number of the courtiers were happy, most of them did not change their faces, as if the position of the county guard in Wei Wuji's mouth was like a mustard in the road.

Pressing the doubts in his heart, Wei Wuji spoke: "All gentlemen can recommend themselves, others can stand up for someone if they are virtuous, and if someone is not talented, they can also speak out against it!" ”

After saying this, the courtiers still looked like Fang Cai, which really made Wei Wuji a little confused.

After a long while, a person stood up from somewhere in the court: "Your Majesty, Shi Wan, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has recommended himself to be the county guard of Song County!" ”

The history of the Prime Minister's Mansion can be said to be the highest status in the court, except for the three princes and nine secretaries, Wan Shenyan stood up and recommended himself, which can cause pressure on all those who are interested in the county position.

Wei Wuji then asked, "Gentlemen, can there be supporters and opponents?" ”

An embarrassing scene appeared, as the most respected person under Jiuqing, only five of the Manchu officials stood up in support of Wan Shenyan.

Is five people a lot? Except for the three ministers and nine ministers, there were 127 other ministers here, but only five people stood up to support Wan Shenyan.

Although Wei Wuji felt that there were fewer people, he couldn't stand up and canvass for Wan Shenyan, although he felt that Wan Shenyan was not bad as the county guard of Song County.

After a long while, Wei Wuji asked, "But there are still people who have recommended themselves for the position of county guard?" ”

Only then did someone stand up, but this supporter was even more miserable, with only three people and one person standing up against it.

Wei Wuji's face darkened, he could sense that something was wrong, but he couldn't grasp the crux of the problem.

So he could only let the court meeting continue, and then there were only five people who recommended themselves for the position of county guard.

Compared with the situation two years ago, it was really a heaven and an underground, and the court was red-faced at the beginning.

Even this time, Wei Wuji also received the news, and the courtiers kept running among themselves, why did they get to the court but there was no sound?

Wei Wuji was puzzled!

At this time, Cao Jun, who was standing at the back of the court, saw this situation and felt that his opportunity had come.

Under Cao Yun's persuasion, although Cao Jun felt unconvinced, he also looked down on the matter of serving as the county guard.

But the situation in the court just now made him rekindle hope!

Even Wan Shenyan only had a little support, and he wondered why Cao Jun couldn't stand up and try it, even if he showed his face.

After taking a deep breath, Cao Jun stepped out of the court, bowed deeply to Wei Wuji on the throne, and said: "Shi Caojun, the head of the Imperial Court, recommends himself for the position of the county guard of Song County!" ”

This was the first time Cao Jun had spoken at a court meeting, so he was very nervous, and even his voice trembled a little.

Cao Jun stepped forward, and Wei Wuji was also surprised, he didn't understand why Cao Jun thought he could be qualified for the position of county guard.

To be honest, Cao Jun is the chief of the court captain, and Wei Wuji feels that Cao Jun is not so competent.

But Wei Wuji still did his routine and asked the ministers, "Gentlemen, can there be supporters and opponents?" ”

At this time, something that really surprised Wei Wuji appeared, and a full eleven ministers stood up and expressed their support for Cao Jun.

Not only Wei Wuji, but even Cao Jun himself was surprised by this.

Not only that, but under Wei Wuji's observation, he found that a large number of courtiers in the palace were surprised that Cao Jun had received so much support.

Originally, Wei Wuji thought that these people would stand up against it, after all, Cao Jun was really far from the position of county guard.

But in the end, no one stood up against it, and Cao Jun became the one with the highest support rate among the courtiers at this time.

At this time, Song Xiang also had some feelings about Wei Ting's treacherous clouds, and this kind of incomprehensible court situation was difficult to appear in the court of the Song Kingdom.

Since he couldn't understand it, Song Xiang could only close his mouth and look at it honestly, he would never say a word at this time.

Song Xiang could feel that this would be another game in the court of the Wei State, and then he looked at the three important ministers in front of him.

Before coming to Wei, Song Xiang had an understanding of the Wei court, and coupled with the evil homework of the past few days when he entered the Wei state, he knew that the Wei court was now divided into three groups.

Although these men were equally loyal to the monarch, there were also rivalries between the three groups.

When Song Xiang was thinking that the two groups were fighting, Wei Wuji on the throne was also thinking about this.

But he knew better that Cao Jun did not belong to these three groups, and this made things even more bizarre.

What made Wei Wuji even more unhappy was that he actually had times when he couldn't see the situation clearly, which was something he had never done since he succeeded to the throne.

From this, he also understood that after the simple factional dispute of the Hanmen of the Zaishi clan ended, the factional dispute in Wei had evolved to a higher level, and it was no longer as simple and straightforward as it was at the beginning.

And this is precisely a test of the political level and wisdom of those in power.

After waving his hand to make Cao Jun retreat, Wei Wuji asked the courtiers again if they didn't want to recommend themselves, and then none of the courtiers answered.

When he arrived here, according to the rules of the previous council, Cao Jun should become the county guard of Song County!

However, Wei Wuji was not directly appointed, and under the expectant gaze of the courtiers, Wei Wuji directly announced the end of the court meeting.

As for the ownership of the county guard that everyone was concerned about, Wei Wuji told the ministers that he would announce the candidate at a later date.

The court meeting ended, but after Cao Jun walked down the steps of the main hall, the whole person was stunned, and at the same time looked a little lost.

He was already the one with the highest supporters, so why didn't the monarch declare himself a county warden? Cao Jun roared in his heart.

And beside Cao Jun, when Wan Shenyan passed by, he didn't have a good face at all for the junior, and he snorted coldly before brushing his sleeves and leaving.

Cao Jun also recovered at this time, and snorted coldly at Wan Shenyan's back, he didn't feel that he was worse than the old guy.

At this moment, an attendant came to Cao Jun's side, bowed down to Cao Jun and said, "Cao Jun, you have a summons, please come to Cao Jun quickly!" ”
