Chapter 208: The Ownership of the Prime Minister
The prime minister is the emperor's assistant, and since the Qin Dynasty, the prime minister has become regular, explaining that the prime minister is to assist the emperor in handling political affairs.
You can see how important Zai is to the emperor, the emperor's assistant, the emperor's helper.
This position is an extremely important position, and he should be cautious in his selection, and there must not be the slightest sloppiness.
Fairy Ah Fan is going to resign, and if he quits, he must find someone, a capable and reliable person to replace him.
As long as the government is employing people, now that there is one less person, we must hurry up and find someone to replace it, and we have to be cautious.
"Now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who do you think can take on this important responsibility, you can recommend someone to me."
When talking about business, Zhao Kuangyin instantly called himself "I", indicating that now what they are talking about is no longer a private matter, but a major matter of the country.
Zhao Xu also frowned, who is this, and he doesn't know who he is suitable for the prime minister in this court.
"I really don't have an idea about this, have you discussed this with other people, what do you think of him?"
The prime minister asked Zhao Kuangyin what you plan to do, you have to find someone to sum it up, there are some things that you can't make up your mind by yourself at all.
"No, I haven't told anyone about this matter that you are the first to know about it, and the others don't know about it yet."
The others are not Zhao Kuangyin's trust, but they are not close to their son, the first one he chose to discuss with his son.
"Then Fan Zhen himself has no candidates, he is the prime minister, he always has his own set of ideas, and he always has his own successor."
Since you want to resign, of course, when you leave, you should recommend someone you can trust and have outstanding ability to take your place.
Usually their boss will always ask themselves when they leave office, on the one hand, to respect this old subordinate.
You can't make him feel that once he resigns, he won't be taken seriously, isn't that, you see, I'm not asking for your opinion?
Look at who is suitable to take your place, this is respect for you, you can feel the respect for you.
More importantly, he has been in this position for a long time, and naturally knows who is the most suitable person below to take up this position after he leaves.
Having to accept others is an advantage that others do not have, that is, without practice, there is no right to speak.
When Zhao Kuangyin heard his son ask, he couldn't help but think of the situation when Fan Zhen asked him to return to his hometown.
"Why does Fan Xiang want to return to his hometown, is he unwilling to serve the imperial court anymore?"
After Zhao Kuangyin saw Fan Zhen's resignation, he met with the old prime minister who had been hungry for five generations.
"Your Majesty, the old minister can be said to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, the sun and the moon can be expressed, and the old minister also wants to serve the imperial court."
Fan Zhen looked a little lonely when he said this. Literati all want to make a career, and they can leave a name in history.
Fan Zhen is also like this, but now that he is resigning, he feels in his heart that he has no good beginnings and good ends, which is a pimple in his heart.
"But the minister is already old and frail, and his eyes are not good, and sometimes he sees things vaguely, and he almost made a big mistake a few days ago.
Since he was young, he has been out of office, and after several wars and dynasties, by the time of the Great Song Dynasty, the old minister was already a very human minister, and he had reached the peak of his career.
All this is thanks to His Majesty, the old minister is grateful, but now the minister is old, and his energy is not as good as before, lest his own reasons bring unnecessary losses to the court, so the old minister asked to resign.
In addition, the old minister left home when he was young, and the reason for the war was that he never returned to his hometown, and people paid attention to the fallen leaves and returned to their roots, and the old minister also wanted to return to his hometown to sweep the tombs of his ancestors and do his filial piety. ”
Even Zhao Kuangyin has nothing to say about this reasonable rhetoric, so I can't disagree with his resignation, right?
He said that he was already old and frail, and his energy was not as good as before, and his eyes were not good.
I often make mistakes when dealing with official business, and I resigned for the sake of Da Song, so you will allow me.
In addition, I am old, I want to meet my hometown, where are my roots, I want to go back to sweep the tombs of my ancestors, and do my filial piety.
Filial piety is the root of human chaos, this must not be fake, besides, they are all governed by benevolence and filial piety, first I said that I want to be filial, can you disagree with the emperor?
Since you said so, Zhao Kuangyin has no reason to stop it, and he can't stop it, and there is no reason to stop it.
"The old prime minister is a lot older, looking at me is heartbroken, it's really unforgiving, I didn't expect the old prime minister to be an old man.
The old prime minister has served the court all his life, and now it is time to enjoy the joy of family, and the old prime minister has to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, which I can't stop anymore, and your recital is accurate. ”
Hearing that Zhao Kuangyin approved his own recital, Lao Fan immediately buckled his head and thanked him:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion for the old minister, long live my emperor."
"Aiqing quickly calm down, come and give me a seat." Zhao Kuangyin is really, the old man has been here for a long time, and it is really a bit inhumane for you to think about it now and let the family sit down.
The quality of being given a seat is naturally a thousand thanks, needless to say.
"I am the old prime minister who is allowed to resign, but the affairs of the imperial court, I still have to ask the old prime minister for advice, and I hope that the old prime minister will not refuse me when the time comes."
"The old minister doesn't dare." Fan Zhen also knew that this was still a joke from the emperor.
"Since the old prime minister has resigned from the phase, may I ask the old prime minister, who can take your place, can you recommend a personal choice to me?"
You can't just pat your ass and leave, you have to find a prime minister for me, or you'll go.
I haven't been able to find a suitable candidate for a while, and I can't let you go so chic, so you can recommend a personal choice to me.
Although you don't necessarily recommend me, it's still okay as a reference.
At the same time, it also shows that I value you, you see that you are all gone, but I still ask you, this is not the importance of you.
Fan Zhen is an old and refined person, and a single hair is empty, otherwise he can always stand in the court in troubled times and not fall, this is ability.
He instantly understood the emperor's intentions, but he also accosted:
"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare to say anything, this is all a matter that the officials should be in charge of, and it is not within the scope of the old minister's duties, please forgive the old minister for not daring to overstep."
The meaning of Fan Zhen's words is to show you that I have done everything the emperor should do, and I dare not stretch out my hand if it is not within the scope of my responsibility.
You must know that I have been honest and honest during my tenure, and there has not been a trace of overstepping my authority.
is still playing with me, I have seen a lot of such courtiers, and they are also playing tricks with me:
"The old prime minister misunderstood what I meant, I just see that you have been in the position of prime minister for so long, and I know who is the most suitable person for this position, so I can refer to it."
": And assisting the Son of Heaven in selecting and appointing talents is also one of your responsibilities as a prime minister, where is the overstepping of authority, please Lao Aiqing do not hesitate to give advice, and I will listen."
Zhao Kuangyin's posture is low enough, which is already very face-saving for Fan Qian, as long as he is not a stunned young man, he will definitely make the right choice.
How could Fan Qian, who was familiar with the rules of officialdom, not see this, so he hurriedly stood up and thought that Zhao Kuangyin would salute:
"Your Majesty, this is tormenting the old minister, and the old minister is ashamed."
"Aiqing doesn't need to be so polite, sit down quickly." For his courtiers, he must be gracious and powerful.
What he said just now made Fan Zhen have to say his own point of view, and now he has shown favor to him, and he is still not convinced.
"Since Your Majesty asked, the old minister has no choice but to know everything, and if what the old minister said is inappropriate, please don't be surprised."
"Alas, Aiqing is not a court here, it is a private exchange between our monarchs and ministers, there is no need for this, Aiqing just say it directly;."
"In this case, the old minister is presumptuous. The old minister heard that as the prime minister, he should help the monarch to be virtuous and capable, and use it to assist the monarch.
When Lao Chen was the prime minister, Lao Chen observed the privy deputy envoy Zhao Pu, Lord Zhao, who was proficient in the way of governing the country.
And he is still an old man next to His Majesty, and he has enough qualifications to serve the public, and the most important thing is that he is familiar with government affairs and can do things impartially.
If there is anyone who is suitable, Lao Chen privately thinks that Zhao Pu is the most suitable. ”
"So Fan Zhen recommended Zhao Pu, right?" After listening to Zhao Kuangyin's statement, Zhao Xu confirmed it again.
"Yes, that's what Fan Zhen said at that time, I didn't make any statement, and at the same time I was also observing whether this Zhao Pu was useful.
In fact, Zhao Pu's ability is enough. But as far as I know, he himself is a bit of a lover, so I still have to think about it. ”
It is undeniable that Zhao Pu is capable, and Zhao Kuangyin is afraid that he will be corrupt after becoming the prime minister.
According to the news that Zhao Kuangyin obtained, Zhao Pu privately accepted gifts from his subordinates on weekdays, which Zhao Kuangyin was very worried about.
In history, after Zi Ah Fan was removed from the post of prime minister, it was held by Zhao Pu, and now it has been advanced by two years, and everything has not changed.
"I am not afraid of this, as long as he has talent, as long as he does not endanger the security of the country, it is also a good thing, you must know that when the water is clear, there are no fish.
Besides, if he really did something detrimental to the court at that time, he would definitely not be able to spare him, and he would be a shame to me. ”
Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and said.
"Haha, I forgot, Zhao Pu was still your subordinate at the beginning, En'en Since you said so, I decided to let Zhao Pu be the prime minister."
Zhao Kuangyin will not let Zhao Pu serve as prime minister because of Zhao Xu's few words, but this person does have a certain ability to deal with political affairs, which is something that no one else can compare.
In this way, the candidate for the prime minister was decided, and Zhao Pu didn't know that he had been promoted to prime minister.
