Xie Qian was the first to stand up at this time, and questioned, "Your Majesty, is the number of people in the court too small this time?" Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAccording to the past practice, it should be given by the three products and above and Jiuqing, the imperial history of the capital, the wine of the prince and the six subjects, and they should all participate in the public recommendation! ”

The ministers present bowed slightly, and also agreed with Xie Qian's statement.

"Oh, is there a rule for this?"

Zheng De looked at the ministers present and said nonchalantly. couldn't help but glance at Xie Qian again, and said secretly, "Do you old guy like to go against me?" Why do you always like to be the first to jump out and interrupt when you have nothing to do, is it always so interesting? ”

Xie Qian naturally didn't know that the emperor had scolded him fiercely in his heart, and was about to say something, but he heard the emperor say again, "This time I held a pre-imperial meeting, and I came to discuss the candidates for the imperial history of the right capital, and I didn't ask you to recommend two or three people to choose for me, how can there be a convention?" ”

Xie Qian was stunned when he heard this, and let him be full of money, he couldn't say a word at the moment, although the emperor was suspected of secretly changing the concept, but he was beyond reproach. If he continues to mess around, it's his fault.

"Okay, Xie Qing sit down." Zheng De saw his embarrassing appearance, and his heart was secretly refreshed. But beckoned him to sit down. Then he glanced at everyone, "The meeting continues, who do you think is the most suitable?" ”

Everyone looked at Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, who woke up from his state of concentration and looked at everyone with a blank face, "Why are the ministers looking at the old man?" ”

Everyone's down! Did you fall asleep just now, otherwise how could you not even know what was going on?

Zheng De was even more speechless when he heard this, feeling desperate for having such a strange subordinate. Think about it, Li Dongyang doesn't want to do it anymore before he is sixty, and you are eighty years old and your ears are not very good, why haven't you thought about retirement until now? It's long overdue to go home and take the children and share the joy of family!

Ay! Luckily, this issue is now solved!

Thinking that Ma Wensheng will finally return to his hometown next year, Zheng De is also in a good mood, and he can finally send this old immortal away.

Fortunately, Li Dongyang stood up at this time and told Ma Wensheng what had just happened, and the latter nodded, got up tremblingly and arched his hand towards Zheng De, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Ma Zhongxi, the former right deputy capital imperial history, is a good candidate, and he can be reinstated as the right capital imperial history, what do you think?" ”

Looking at his appearance, Zheng De was really afraid that he would hang up accidentally, Zheng De hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and then looked at everyone, "What do you think of Ma Aiqing's proposal?" ”

Everyone bowed slightly, obviously having a good impression of this candidate. But at this time, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and objected, "Although Ma Zhongxi, the former deputy of the right deputy capital, is a good candidate, he has been idle at home for seven years, and he is a little too unfamiliar with the affairs of the imperial court. The minister felt that Tu Xun, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, was the best choice in terms of both qualifications and ability, and could serve as the imperial history of the right capital. ”

When the ministers heard this, they also felt that what Liu Daxia said was reasonable, and they were a little hesitant for a while and it was difficult to decide.

Tu Xun? Zheng De was immediately unhappy when he heard this, how could he be the one who was going to take over Min Jue's class in the future, how could he be the right capital imperial history who specializes in playing tricks?

Not to mention Ma Zhongxi, who is also an official with an ability rating of A, but he is better at both civil and military, and it is even more impossible to be the official who plays tricks, otherwise it will be too wasteful of their talents.

He glanced at everyone, "In that case, Zhuqing should raise his hand and vote." If you are in favor of Ma Zhongxi's gesture, if you are in favor of Tu Xun, don't raise your hand. ”

The final result was five votes to six, and Tu Xun, the squire of the Criminal Department, won and became the imperial history of the right capital.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the emperor's white and tender little hand stretched out again, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, he calmly announced, "Six votes to six votes, the number of votes is equal, and the vote is invalid." ”

Everyone saw at this time that the emperor was not very satisfied with these two candidates, or said that he had a plan. Although everyone felt a little depressed, there was no real dissatisfaction or anything like that, after all, there were candidates for Tingtui who were not selected by the emperor. Although the emperor said that this was not a court meeting, but a pre-imperial meeting, it was obvious that everyone present did not see it that way, otherwise why would the emperor let everyone recommend it?

So in the end, everyone cast their eyes on Zheng De, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Being watched by so many people, Zheng De suddenly felt a little nervous, and suddenly felt that it was too reckless to let Zhang Sheng be transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the right capital Yushi?

However, when the matter came, he couldn't retreat, so he reluctantly settled down and said, "The minister thinks that Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, can be reappointed as the imperial history of the right capital, I don't know what Zhu Qing thinks?" ”

When they heard this name, everyone present looked at Zhang Sheng, revealing a hint of surprise. Unexpectedly, the emperor's last favorite candidate would be this Ministry of Rites?

Zhang Sheng was also a little stunned for a while when he heard this, and only after a long time did he slowly react, and helplessly showed a wry smile. Although it is a flat tone, the right capital imperial history is no longer among the nine kings, which means that he is not qualified to participate in this imperial meeting in the future, and it also means that he will withdraw from the power center of the entire imperial court. Although he didn't care whether he participated in this imperial meeting or not, he was still a little disappointed.

Although he didn't expect that the emperor's final favorite target would be himself, Zhang Sheng didn't think it was a surprise when he thought about it now, after all, he went against the emperor's will last time because of the imperial examination.

Seeing that the emperor deliberately fixed on himself, he slowly stood up and said with a calm expression, "Weichen is grateful." ”

If he didn't obey Zheng De, he didn't feel anything, so it can be seen that he accepted his proposal with such a calm expression, but it made him a little uncomfortable. In the end, I couldn't help but say again, "I specially allow Zhang Aiqing to participate in the imperial court meeting in the future." ”

Zhang Sheng was stunned, but he didn't expect the emperor to deliberately open a special case in order to comfort himself. He was a little moved and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Since the parties concerned don't care anymore, it's hard for everyone to say anything. Moreover, the emperor's special permission for Zhang Sheng to participate in this imperial meeting also suppressed everyone's indignant thoughts.

Zhang Sheng's matter was also decided in your will.

After Zheng De beckoned Zhang Sheng to sit down, he looked at everyone again, "What is your opinion on the candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Everyone present understood that the emperor had already made plans, and asking everyone's opinions was just a formality. So for a while, no one stood up to speak, which made Zheng De suddenly look a little embarrassed, so he had to look at Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry.

I didn't expect the latter old god to be there, as if I didn't see it.

Zheng De thought about it, so he had to cough and say his favorite candidate, "I think that Wang Jing, the governor of Baoding, is a good candidate, what do you think?" ”

When Zheng De said the name, he looked a little uneasy. After all, the right Yushi is only a fourth-grade official position, and he was directly promoted to the second-grade Shangshu, which makes me feel really crazy when I think about it. Of course, if the qualifications are sufficient, it is not impossible.

It's a pity that qualifications are too mysterious, and it's really hard to judge. Otherwise, Zheng De would not have used Liu Jian's ideas to promote the dispersion of officials in the imperial court. After all, loose officials do not have actual positions like ministry officials, and there is no problem in moving up one level after another according to seniority, so it is a good arrangement.

And there is also a serious problem, that is, whether the eleven important ministers of the court who are doing it can know the governor of Baoding, who was released as an official. Even Zheng De didn't know this, if it weren't for the search system, I'm afraid he would have to pass by this capable minister with an S rating.

When he proposed this candidate, there was no one who stood up and asked "who is this", and it was obvious that everyone was quite familiar with him. This also made him secretly relieved, if he is not familiar with this person, how can he be evaluated?

However, how could these eleven important ministers of the imperial court know this official who was released as an official, the imperial history of the fourth rank and the governor of Baoding?

Zheng De glanced at everyone present, and was secretly puzzled, Liu Jian stood up and said, "Wang Jing seems to have a little shallow qualifications!" ”

At this time, Han Wen, the head of the household, stood up and said, "Wang Jing is an eight-year jinshi in Chenghua, and he is not bad compared to everyone in the imperial court. Moreover, he has been an official outside for many years, and his outstanding political achievements are obvious to all, and he is also a good candidate to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Even Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, who had been too lazy to speak, opened his squinted eyes slightly at this time. glanced at everyone, especially on Liu Jianjian for a moment, and arched his hand towards Zheng De, "Your Majesty, Wang Jing has been among the best in the assessment of the Ministry of Officials for many years, and he is quite good, and he is also quite loved by the people on the official side, and it is quite suitable to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials." ”

Only then did Zheng De understand why the ministers of the imperial court were so familiar with him. It turned out that this exiled official did too well, and his reputation spread to the court, and it was difficult for people not to know him. This also confirms from the side that this search system is not nonsense, although I don't know if the rating is correct, but the recommended talents are not wrong.

Since this person has such a good reputation, it saves Zheng De a lot of trouble, and it also makes him completely relieved. said secretly, "It seems that Wang Jing's title of the Ministry of Rites will not be able to run away nine times out of ten." ”

The final voting result, which was unanimously approved by 11 votes, also confirmed Zheng De's speculation.

When the meeting was over, Zheng De walked out quite happily. After all, his goal has been successfully achieved, and what he needs to consider now is to form his own team, and when he completely controls the entire imperial court next year, he can implement his own reform plan.

After the ministers walked out of the Wenhua Palace, their expressions were different, some frowned, some looked relaxed, and some looked helpless, all kinds of expressions made it impossible to guess what was going on inside.

Of course, the aftermath of this imperial meeting has only just begun, and no one knows whether it will trigger a huge tsunami that will sweep across the entire government and the opposition.
