At this time, another minister played, "The minister thinks that although Cheng Li became famous in the first battle, his qualifications are still shallow, and he is not enough to win people's hearts." It is said that the four saints and five heroes of the capital, now the green dragon has been demoted, according to the qualifications, the white tiger should take over the position of the commander, the green dragon and the white tiger Xuanwu Zhuque, is by no means comparable to other deputy generals, and the minister recommends the white tiger. ”

As soon as the minister said, all the ministers nodded yes, if it is said that the qualifications, martial arts, and strategy in this brocade guard, the white tiger is indeed above Cheng Li, and, according to the ranking rules, the boss has withdrawn, of course, the second child is out of charge, Qinglong is not there, and the white tiger is on the throne, which is natural. Even the people of the Qing School nodded one after another, feeling that it was more appropriate to still be the White Tiger.

After Chongzhen heard this, he nodded again, "Left Qinglong and right White Tiger, it's a pity that I lost the arm of Qinglong today, but fortunately, the White Tiger is still there." But that's not the rule. The white tiger is considered a candidate for the time being, who else recommends? Obviously, Chongzhen still wants to pick one, after all, "the return of Wuyue does not look at the mountain, and the return of Huangshan does not look at Yue", Qinglong is afraid that it is difficult for anyone to reach, Chongzhen is just asking for a candidate closest to Qinglong.

Such an important candidate as Baihu was temporarily suppressed by Chongzhen, and Baiguan felt that it was a little difficult to do. Looking at the government and the opposition, if the white tiger is not qualified for this position, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to do it. After all, the older generation of Jinyiwei don't want to take care of things anymore, the new ecology is the most reliable among the four saints and five heroes, although Tie Mian has good ability, but he was deposed by Chongzhen because of his crime, if it weren't for Zhu Qing to come to the rescue, I'm afraid he would have been executed, so above the main hall, no one dared to mention Tie Mian's name, even if he mentioned it, even if Chongzhen could bear it, Tie Mian might not be willing to give Chongzhen this face. At that time, there will be a lot of trouble, and I am afraid that it will be another bloody disaster.

The white tiger is still suppressed, then Xuanwu and Suzaku may also be the same result, and no one is willing to recommend it, not to mention the new master of the Iron Mask Gate, Heisha, although it is equally outstanding, but the identity of the former prince of the Manchu Dynasty has always made Chongzhen angry, so many years, it is for the sake of killing the wind, and Heisha has also done a lot of tricky cases for the imperial court, Chongzhen did not delve into it, but if he wanted to hand over such an important position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard to this former prince of Manchu, Chongzhen categorically would not agree. Therefore, the officials will not be bored.

In this way, it is really difficult to have a good candidate, and above the main hall, there is once again a voice of discussion.

Since it is said that it is most appropriate to select people from the Jinyi Guard, then the Qing faction has not said much, after all, this is a family matter for them, no matter who is the commander of this Du, they are all Jinyi Guard's people, if it is the only move, I am afraid it will make the emperor suspicious.

Therefore, it is mainly up to the opinions of the foreign relatives party and other ministers without factions. Especially the relatives of the party, their recommendation is very important, at least this can make Kill Feng and others see a little clue.

A group of ministers deliberated for a long time, but they still shook their heads, and it seemed that there was no more suitable candidate. If Chongzhen is not enough, he doesn't have so much time to accompany them here. After Chongzhen drank a few cups of tea, he couldn't settle down, he put down the teacup and asked, "How are you discussing?" ”

Under the question, the hundred officials either shook their heads or remained silent. Chongzhen seems to have known that this will be the result, and it is not good to scold in public, the law does not blame the public, and he can't scold all the officials. But he pointed at the hundred officials with some hatred, and unconsciously pointed at Uncle Tian Guo. Chongzhen paused, his eyes narrowed, and when he saw Uncle Tian thoughtful, he smiled and asked, "Uncle Guo seems to have something in mind, why don't you say it and let me and the ministers hear it?" ”

I don't know if he was really thinking about things or pretending to be contemplative, Uncle Tian Guo didn't even react when he was called by Chongzhen, and when the hundred officials saw this, they completely quieted down. A minister behind Uncle Tian gently tugged at the corner of Uncle Tian's clothes to remind him that the emperor was questioning.

"Ahem......" Chongzhen coughed lightly and stared straight at Uncle Tian Guo.

Uncle Tian Guo reacted at this time, hurriedly walked out of the train, bowed and saluted, "The minister was distracted for a while, and he didn't hear the emperor's question, so please forgive the emperor." ”

"Uncle Guo is so focused, he must have someone in mind, why don't you come and listen to me?" Chongzhen motioned to Uncle Tian Guo.

"Obey the order!" Uncle Tian Guo said respectfully, "There is indeed a candidate for the minister, I don't know if it is appropriate or not." That is the deputy general of Qinglongmen, Lin Bai, the great apprentice of Qinglong. ”

"Lin Bai?" Uncle Tian Guo said this name, which immediately caused a lot of controversy. If Lin Bai and Cheng Li are both Zhu Qing's apprentices and subordinates, the two have their own strengths, Cheng Li is restrained and steady, and Lin Bai is active and alert. However, in terms of military merits, Cheng Li is slightly superior, but Zhu Qing obviously takes more care of Lin Baizhi than Cheng Li, which shows Lin Baizhi's malleable talent.

Uncle Tian Guo refuted the doubts of the ministers one by one. But apparently this was not enough to convince Chongzhen.

"Besides, what other strengths does Lin Bai have to compete for this position?" Chongzhen asked.

Uncle Tian Guo pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and then responded, "Lin Bai has three gains, and he can be in this position." ”

"Oh? Which three? Uncle Guo said quickly. Chongzhen said eagerly.

"At the beginning, the Purple Mountain was in danger, Lin Bai once followed the Qinglong to Shengjing, kidnapped Da Yu'er and Fulin and others, and was seriously injured and almost died. This is a one-size-fits-all deal; The reason why Lin Bai joined the army was because his father was killed by local evil officials, and Lin Bai had already joined the army in revenge, filial piety! This is a two-way deal; As we all know, Lin Bai is a subordinate of Qinglong, he and Qinglong are also teachers and friends, last time I heard that Qinglong was unjustly imprisoned, he was in danger alone, and tried his best to save Qinglong, righteousness! This is a triple gain. How could such a loyal and filial person not be qualified for this position? I thought that Uncle Tian Guo was selling some kind of medicine in the gourd, and the people of the Qingliu Party were ready to refute it, but I didn't expect that as soon as the "three gains" came out, all the piles and piles were praising Lin Bai, so in this way, Uncle Tian Guo wasted a lot of thought in order to recommend Lin Bai.

At this time, Killing Feng and Dongfang Wenbai glanced at each other, and they seemed to have something in mind, and they knew it when they thought about it. Why did Uncle Tian Guo strongly recommend Lin Bai? I'm afraid it has to be suspicious. However, neither of them broke the truth, and watched the development of the situation.

Sure enough, after Chongzhen heard this, he stroked his beard and nodded suspiciously, "Listening to Uncle Guo, this Lin Bai is indeed a good candidate. It's just that I heard that this person is too impulsive and self-willed, and has been to danger many times under the Qinglong tent, if it weren't for the Qinglong to save him, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed, if I want to hand over the Jinyi Guard to him, I will have to think twice. ”

As soon as Chongzhen hesitated, this matter fell into embarrassment for a while. At this time, Li Xianzheng, the secretary of the ministry, stood up again.

"Your Majesty, after many discussions, Lin Bai, Cheng Li, and Baihu are currently selected, if the emperor is difficult to choose, why not vote on the spot? The one with the highest vote is expected by the public, and the officials should have no objections. ”

When the officials heard this, they also felt that there would be no result in any further struggle, and now it seems that these three people are indeed good candidates. They all nodded in agreement with Li Xianzheng's proposal.

Chongzhen was at a loss, and after hearing this, he also felt that this method was feasible, so he nodded and said, "This is very good!" Immediately ordered the celebrant to give the hundred officials a pen and paper, and the hundred officials wrote the people in their hearts on a note without any name, and presented it to the emperor for personal monitoring, and the celebrant eunuch Wang Chengen sang the vote on the spot.

"Cheng Li one vote, White Tiger one vote, Lin Bai one vote, Cheng Li one vote, Lin Bai one vote ......" As Wang Chengen sang the vote, the hundreds of officials in the hall were like ants on a hot pot, and there were many discussions, Chongzhen looked around, only four people were calmer, these four people were Killing Feng, Dongfang Wenbai, Uncle Tian Guo, and Sheng Tianyue, who had just resumed the squire of the Criminal Department, and was expected to be promoted to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. These four people represent the Qingliu Party, the Waiqi Party, and the centrists. Seeing such a chess game, Chongzhen was very satisfied, he didn't care which faction was elected, he just had to balance, originally only the Qingliu Party and the Relatives Party checked and balanced each other, and now there is a Sheng Tianyue, seeing that it is going to become a three-legged tripod, Chongzhen feels that only this three-legged balance can support him as the top of the Ninety-Five. After all, Sheng Tianyue was responsible for Uncle Tian Guo and Yang Li at the beginning, but now that he has made a comeback due to Nanjing's merits, it is bound to be difficult to conspire with the Relatives Party, and it is even more impossible for the Qingliu Party to collude with Sheng Tianyue to be so perverse, so the three-legged stand is bound to remain for a while.

As for who will suppress whom, Chongzhen doesn't want to think about it so far, he will get through the crisis in front of him, reorganize the dynasty, and recover his vitality, so he is not afraid of him making waves in the court.

The singing lasted for a while, and the voice suddenly stopped, Wang Chengen walked to Chongzhen's ear and replied softly, "Your Majesty, the results are out." With that, Wang Chengen handed the manual to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened it and looked at it, and he couldn't help but feel that this result was somewhat unexpected to him. But he didn't show it. He held up the manual in public and preached, "Just now, all of you Aiqing have cast an important vote in your hand, and they have all listened to the singing with me, and now the results have been revealed, and the new Jinyi Guard is the commander is ......" Chongzhen deliberately delayed, and the hundred officials could not wait, but the people who were careful listened to the singing votes, and they already had a number in their hearts.

"Who, Your Majesty?" Someone can't wait.

Chongzhen smiled slightly and preached loudly, "White Tiger! ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole court was in an uproar, some were happy, and some were puzzled. In fact, it is Chongzhen who is incomprehensible, if it is said that the Qingliu Party has not argued, the centrist only said one or two, among which the Relatives Party is personally launched by Uncle Tian Guo, and most of the officials in the court are the Relatives Party, Uncle Tian recommends Lin Bai, it stands to reason that there should be the most followers, but what ......

"Could it be that there has been a change within the party of foreign relatives?" The centrist Sheng Tianyue unconsciously had doubts in his heart, presumably this was also Chongzhen's confusion. But just as Chongzhen had always thought, regardless of the internal struggles of the various factions, he only wanted to balance the overall situation, thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and once again raised the manual, signaling the officials to be quiet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the candidates are all recommended by you, and now they are voted by you, and I supervised them on the spot, and then set up this black and white as evidence, and there are jade seals, I also announced in court, so this matter has been decided, today Jinyi Wei is in charge of the White Tiger, and the deputy general of the White Tiger Gate will be automatically promoted to the master. Do you have any objections? Chongzhen said.

The matter has been decided, of course, no one in the hundred officials dares to speak of him anymore, and they all bow down, "The emperor is sage, and the ministers have no objections!" ”

"Good!" Chongzhen nodded and said, "The Book of Rites!" ”

"The minister is here!" Li Xianzheng got up and bowed again.

"After retiring from the court, you will immediately begin to supervise this matter, and it will be sent to all ministries and civil and military officials in the near future, and the matter will be known to all localities within seven days." Chongzhen ordered.

"Command!"

"Well, you love Qing Ping!"

"Emperor Xie!"

"Okay, the two major events have been decided today, what else do you have to play?" Chongzhen asked.

The hundreds of officials in the main hall had a small discussion, and they all shook their heads.

Seeing this, Chongzhen immediately said, "It's not too early, you have something to play, and you have nothing to do!" ”

After waiting for a while, still no one played, Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen beside him, Wang Chengen understood, took a step forward, and shouted loudly, "Retreat!" ”

Before the aftermath dissipated, Chongzhen left in "Long live my emperor, long live, long live......
