The ministers were silent for a while, but they looked at each other for a while, and most of the people invariably turned their eyes to Sun Piyang, the secretary of the ministry, which made Sun Shangshu feel a lot of pressure, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart.

The Son of Heaven will really give him a problem, you know, whether Xu Guangqi is an emperor or a meritorious person, he can't get rid of an identity, he is from a person's background, although the dynasty is the imperial examination, the school, and the recommendation of the three ways are used simultaneously, but in fact, until now, only the imperial examination is a monopoly, and the official position above the third grade is not awarded by the Jinshi, so generally speaking, the officials who are born as people and prisoners will reach the top of the prefect of a place.

And this article is naturally the same for Xu Guangqi, he is from a high background, and the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple is already an official rank of the fourth grade, that is to say, Xu Guangqi's qualifications cannot continue to rise.

This is a rule that the imperial court has followed for a long time, and even the emperor cannot easily change it, otherwise, it will touch the interests of the entire court.

After all, in this court, the officials above the third rank are all from Jinshi, and no one wants a non-Jinshi person to mix in.

But the problem is that now the emperor is full of joy, and it is rewarded for merit, which is reasonable, if he comes forward to remind the emperor that it is not appropriate to do this, maybe Long Yan will become angry in the next moment.

Sun Shangshu, who had just eased his relationship with the Son of Heaven, said that he really didn't want to come forward to be this wicked person!

But if he doesn't come forward, if the Son of Heaven approves this appointment, he will become the enemy of the entire court, he wants to get close to the Son of Heaven, but if he risks offending the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he will have to weigh it carefully......

So Sun Shangshu was very entangled, but fortunately, before he could speak, Lao Shoufu stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shaoqing cultivates good breeds, hard work is high, the court should indeed be praised, but the reward of the Son of Heaven also has a law, Xu Shaoqing has been in Sinong Temple Shaoqing for less than a few months, and it is inevitable that he will be promoted too quickly, according to the opinion of the old minister, it is better to reward two silver, and it is more appropriate to add a son!"

To tell the truth, in fact, Wang Xijue didn't want to come forward, but he was also helpless, three grades or more are not taken by Jinshi, this is a rule that has been followed by the imperial court for a long time, to say that this is a matter of the selection of the officials, but to say that this is the bottom line of the entire Wenchen Group, as the first assistant, he has to stand up.

What's more, today's trip to Sinong Temple, is not just the Son of Heaven's parade, he and the Son of Heaven originally discussed, to take this opportunity to really start to rectify the rule of officials, he has already prepared the music in his hand, who knew that the Son of Heaven suddenly came out like this, which really made the old Shoufu cry and laugh, so he had to remind the Son of Heaven euphemistically, don't delay the business......

But who knows that the Son of Heaven is unconscious, Dao.

"Yuanfu's words are wrong, the matter of Sinong Temple is not Xu Shaoqing's incompetence, why can't he be entrusted with the position of Zhengqing?"

Why don't you have any points in your heart, Your Majesty?

Wang Xijue cried out for a while, and said after a moment of silence.

"The ministers take the court system, the officials above the three products choose their own system, they should be carefully granted, if they do not act at will according to the law, they will inevitably make the ministers panic, although Sinong Siqing is seriously ill, but he has done his best for the court, and rashly changing it will inevitably make the courtiers cold, please think twice!"

This is more explicit, although the seriously ill Sinong Siqing is used as a disguise, but the real focus of the words is in the first half of the sentence, officials above the third grade have their own laws, what laws? The law that is not given by non-jinshi!

After a pause, Wang Xijue sighed and added.

"The situation Sinong Temple is the yamen of the imperial court, and it must be operated with the cooperation of the ministers, Xu Shaoqing's qualifications are a little shallow, if he is in charge of Sinong Temple, some affairs are inevitably difficult to clarify, if he has a lot of experience as a Shaoqing, it is not too late to talk about it!"

How to say that Wang Xijue is also an old fox who has been in the officialdom for a long time, and naturally understands the principle of combining rigidity and softness, in fact, it is not impossible for the emperor to forcibly promote Xu Guangqi, under the system of the Ming Dynasty, although there are six departments to refute the edict, but what the Son of Heaven really wants to do, no one can stop it.

Of course, it is not certain what kind of consequences will arise after doing it, Wang Xijue's words are actually a vague reminder to Zhu Changluo that he can forcibly promote Xu Guangqi to become Zhengqing, but as an outlier, Xu Guangqi himself will be rejected by the entire court, and even the normal operation of Sinong Temple will be affected......

"Motosuke-sama is exaggerating!"

Among the ministers, a long-lost voice sounded, but it suddenly made Wang Xijue's brows furrow.

Li Tingji!

How did he come out at this time......

I saw Master Li take two steps forward and said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, Lord Yuanfu is not worried about the seriously ill Sinong Siqing, but is worried about the so-called rules in the court that the third grade or more is not awarded by non-Jinshi!"

This sentence made the bigwigs present uncomfortable for a while......

Because it's so straightforward!

The people in the officialdom, the words of the cloud and mountain fog cover are the basic work, and this rule exists, but few people put it on the table, and there are even fewer people who are so direct as Lord Li said, so the ministers were stunned for a while.

Only Zhu Changluo looked at Li Tingji, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an inexplicable look flashed on his face, and after a while, he seemed to be a little puzzled and said.

"Motofu, is what Mr. Li said true? Why don't I remember which of the ancestral system said so, or which generation of emperors set the rules so much? ”

"This ......"

Wang Xijue's rare words were stopped, the Son of Heaven is a heart, this rule is an unspoken rule inherited by the civil official group for a hundred years, it is not seen on paper, it only exists in actual operation, not to mention the ancestral system, even if it is the first emperor of the past dynasties, how can there be idle time to stipulate such rules.

"Why should Li Ge Lao speculate on himself, when did the old man say that the three grades or more are not awarded to Jinshi, but the imperial examination is my right way, and Jinshi Huaxuan is the best among the people, so I will give more to the cabinet, I will use the three ways together, how can the old man have injustice, but now Sinong Siqing is seriously ill, if the imperial court removes it, it will inevitably chill the courtiers, and that's it!"

"In this way, Grand Duke Yuanfu, the old man admires, but the old man has a letter here, which was submitted to the cabinet this morning, Yuanfu might as well take a look!"

Hearing this, Li Tingji smiled, took out a note from his sleeve, and handed it over with a smile.

It stands to reason that the emperor is here, and he should present it to the emperor first, but there is nothing wrong with the cabinet hearing about the machine, not to mention that the Son of Heaven looks like he is watching a good show, and obviously has no intention of interrupting.

Therefore, although Wang Xijue felt that something was wrong in his heart, he still reached out and took it.

Just looking at the beginning and the end, it made the old Shousuke feel dizzy.

Title, Beggar Skeleton Osteopathy!

Payment, Liu Qixing, the minister of Sinong Temple, respectfully!
