After ten years of operation, the selection has become more and more perfect, as the head of the hundred officials, the selection of university scholars has been customized, under normal circumstances, to have both academic qualifications and qualifications, the local governor, the center has done the first level of Shangshu, the age must be over forty-five years old, outstanding political achievements. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info and also have to be recommended by the hundred officials, the cabinet deliberates, and then sent to the monarch to the imperial review, and then handed over to the national council for discussion and approval. Only by the cabinet can the cabinet officially enter the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister.

One link is linked to the other, and there is no mistake at all, otherwise, the selected scholars cannot lead a hundred officials.

Tang Yi is in Japan, and he is in charge of the overall situation, so naturally there is no problem. This time it was the first time that the elder of the pavilion was replaced after Tang Yi Zhishi, and it was still two, Shen Shixing's heart was heavy, whether he could shoulder the burden of the master or not, it was a matter of one move!

"Princess, can you nominate a suitable candidate?"

At present, there are five people left in the cabinet, except for Shen Shixing, the second assistant is Wang Jiaping, and then Wang Xijue, Luo Wanhua, and Shen Yiyi. Four to one, the form of the royalist party is still difficult, and it has not changed in the slightest.

"I recommend Zhao Zhigao, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance."

Wang Xijue fired the first shot, Zhao Zhigao is a native of Lanxi, Zhejiang, a jinshi in the second year of Longqing, and Luo Wanhua is the same department, and now he is the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, shrewd and capable, and is a very good candidate.

Shen Shixing nodded secretly, he and Wang Xijue are not only fellow villagers, but also in the same department, but they are also Tang Yi's disciples, with close feelings and tacit understanding, and this candidate is also discussed by them.

Wang Jiaping secretly complained, he only had one elder brother, and he had to charge into battle in person, he said loudly: "I recommend Chen Yuma!" ”

As soon as this candidate came out, Shen Shixing took a breath, speaking of which, the relationship between Chen Yuma and the Tang Party is not bad, plus Chen Yiqin's relationship, Tang Yi is also very promoted to Chen Yuma. This person has a good reputation, and his ranking in the imperial examination is still above Zhao Zhigao, but the question is that he is not the core of the Tang Party after all, will he stand on his side? Shen Shixing was a little silent, and Wang Xijue hurriedly said: "I recommend Zou Yinglong to join the cabinet, he is more suitable!" ”

As soon as this person was chosen, the big guy was even more surprised.

Zou Yinglong is the fierce general brother who impeached Yan Shifan that year, in the Bingchen Branch, he is the first, all the way to the right deputy capital of the imperial history, governor of Yunnan, and became a feudal official.

It's just that Zou Yinglong and Yanguan are too deeply mixed, and they are disliked by Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, Tang Yi has the heart to protect him, but he can't do it, and he has been pressing on the place.

Wang Xijue knows that at a critical juncture, he must promote his own people, Zou Yinglong dares to fight, can fight, and has prestige and qualifications, so it is really unreasonable not to let him enter the cabinet.

"No!" Wang Jiaping said sharply: "Zou Yinglong is sixty-five years old this year, which is more than the age of the elder of the pavilion, and he is from a third-class jinshi, how can he enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister?" ”

"Joke!" It was Shen Cheng who would speak, "Elder Wang, I am a third-class jinshi, am I not qualified to stay in the cabinet?" ”

Wang Jiaping was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart how negligent he was, he hurriedly said: "Elder Shen Ge, you are selected as a Shujishi, naturally different from ordinary people. ”

"Hahaha, the imperial court promotes talents, selects talents, and appoints talents, when does it only look at academic qualifications? The former, Tan Lun Tan Ge Lao, and Lu Guangzu Lu Ge Lao, are all from the top three Jinshi, there is a precedent, how can Wang Ge Lao not know? There is the question of age again, Wang Ge Lao seems to have misremembered, Zou Yinglong Zou still has five months to turn sixty-five years old, and this time the replacement is to replace the vacancy, only for more than four years, why not? ”

Shen has always been Shen Mingchen's son, don't look at his father under Tang Yi's hands, he looks stupid and cute, that is because there are too many smart people, so he seems to be a little weak, and he is really released, he is also a personal masterpiece, Shen has always been more shrewd and capable than his father, how can he be a straw bag.

After refuting Wang Jiaping, he immediately said: "In addition to Zou Yinglong, I will nominate Lord Shen Lishen again." ”

Shen Li is a Jinshi in Jiajing for forty-four years, and the chief examiner of that subject is Gao Gong, and Shen Li is a person from Guide Mansion, and he is a fellow villager of Gao Gong.

Although Gao Gong has passed away, as the second person of Longwan's change of law, Gao Gong has been in charge of the Ministry for many years, and his influence is great, and he pushed Shen Li out, obviously to inherit Gao Gong's legacy and win people's hearts.

In order to snatch back the position of the cabinet, how many times have Shen Shixing and others deduced, the first choice is naturally Zhao Zhigao, a henchman of the Tang Party, but Wang Jiaping launched Chen Yuma, and they immediately became vigilant, and for the sake of insurance, they successively launched two cards, Zou Yinglong and Shen Li.

Their qualifications are all superior to Chen Yu's, and Gao Gong's influence is far above Chen Yiqin's, and the idea of using Chen Yu's majesty to win people's hearts has been completely destroyed, no matter from which aspect, Chen Yu's majesty has no advantage over Shen Li.

Awesome, really awesome!

Wang Jiaping finally understood the dilemma of being invincible with two fists and four hands, the two candidates in his pocket, even Chen Yuma, who had the greatest hope, was bombarded into slag, as for Zhang Wei, I am afraid that it is even more impossible.

Do you have to admit defeat?

No, absolutely not

"Shen Ge Lao, the selection of university scholars is very important, I think that we can't just rely on the cabinet to promote candidates, but also to seek talents."

Luo Wanhua frowned, "Elder Wangge, what do you mean?" ”

"Let the officials elect another batch, plus the ones we selected before, and hand them over to the hundred officials and the public, what do you think?"

Shen Shixing was a little hesitant, he felt that Wang Jiaping must have other plans, but what he said was not unreasonable, according to the rules, it is indeed the candidate for the Ministry of Officials, and the cabinet will review it, but Tang Yi is in Japan, his prestige is too high, and the Ministry of Officials is basically just going through the motions, and the authority falls on the cabinet.

At this time, it is difficult to refuse to let the officials mix.

As for the current official Shangshu Sun Piyang, he is also a member of the Bingchen Branch, and he is in the same department as Tang Yi, so there should be no problem, as for the public recommendation of the hundred officials? The Tang Party accounts for at least seventy percent of the court, plus allies, and has an absolute advantage in numbers, even if an unsuitable candidate is introduced, it can still be blocked.

"Okay, just do what Elder Wang Ge wants."

……

A smug sneer flashed in Wang Jiaping's eyes, and soon the Ministry of Officials launched a list of candidates for the Cabinet University Scholars, a long column, and there were really a lot of personnel.

There are Zou Yinglong, the imperial history of the left capital, Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chen Yuma, the secretary of the Ministry of Education, Zhang Wei, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Zhigao, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Pan Jitao, the secretary of the Ministry of Water Resources, Xiao Daheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, as well as Yang Yikui, Zhao Huan, etc., a total of no less than ten people.

As soon as this list came out, Shen Shixing looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he immediately brought Wang Xijue and others over.

"Suffered!"

As soon as he met Shen Shixing, he said: "We were tricked, I really didn't expect that Sun Piyang turned out to be a royalist!" ”

Wang Xijue hadn't reacted yet, "Brother Rumo, how do you say this?" Although the list is larger, with our strength, we can naturally remove those who do not agree. ”

"No, no, no......" Shen Shixing shook his head repeatedly, "They just need to put their names on it." ”

"Huh? What's the use? Wang Xijue asked in surprise.

"It's so useful!" Shen Cheng suddenly slapped his thigh and almost jumped up, "I remember, in the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, that time Tingtui University Scholar also made a list of lists, but Sejong did not select the people with the most votes, but instead appointed the old and mediocre Zhang Zhi, and Li Ben, who was only the Guozi Priest at that time!" ”

Li Ben is not an outsider, he is the chief examiner of Bingchenke, Tang Yi's teacher. Scholars have always entered the cabinet, are more than three grades, but he was specially promoted by Jiajing, as a four-grade sacrificial wine, became a scholar, caused a lot of waves, fortunately Jiajing was authoritative at that time, Yan Song was loyal, so he did not make a big deal.

However, after Li Ben entered the cabinet, he also lowered his voice and was willing to be Yan Song's concubine, without the prestige of the prime minister at all.

Wang Xijue's face sank, "Could it be that they are ready to repeat their old tricks?" ”

Shen Shixing nodded, "I think that's the case, all they want is the qualifications to enter the cabinet, and then they forcibly enter the cabinet with the help of the central decree." ”

"What a guts!" Wang Xijue had to be hairy, "Brother Ru Mo, we will immediately call back the list and ask the officials to redraw it!" Otherwise, it will be drawn up by the cabinet and let the officials get out of the way. ”

Luo Wanhua suddenly shook his head, "I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

"What's going on?" Wang Xijue was puzzled, and at this moment, Wang Jiaping walked in from outside with a smile, still holding a newspaper in his hand.

"Lord Shoufu, the selection of the pavilion elders is urgent, I have already published the list on the newspaper of the palace, and the various departments of Mingfa, you see, the court push will be held in three days, is it good to select the pavilion elders?"

Shen Shixing is known for his calmness, but this moment has also changed color. The teacher has explained several times that the people of Shanxi are known for their cunning and treacherous methods, and they must not be guarded against.

It's just that I didn't expect that under all kinds of precautions, I was taken advantage of.

Shen Shixing gritted his teeth and barely squeezed out a smile, "Elder Wang Ge, just do as you say." ”

Wang Jiaping was a little surprised, and said in his heart, could it be that they easily admit defeat?

Sure enough, it's a bunch of waste, without Tang Yi, you are vulnerable! With a good mood, Wang Jiaping took out the first assistant duty room, and after he left, there was a sound of lamentation and roar inside.

"Sure enough, it was careless to lose Jingzhou, and it turned out to be their way, and it was shameful to die!" Wang Xijue covered his face, furious.

Luo Wanhua's face was very bad, and Shen was always ashamed and anxious, and kept thinking of a way.

"It's my fault!" Shen Shixing said slowly.

"Brother Ru Mo, I can't blame you, it's our incompetence and we didn't see through his tricks......" Wang Xijue wanted to persuade, but Shen Shixing waved his hand, "Brother Yuanyu, don't excuse me, what I said is just the truth." In the next second, Shen Shixing regained his former calmness.

"Rest assured, with a little means, it is a fool's dream to defeat us and seize the position of the cabinet!" Shen Shixing did not hesitate, he immediately got up and headed for the Tang Mansion.

This Tang Mansion is not Tang Yi's mansion, but the home of Tang Ruji, a former cabinet scholar and current chief senior minister. Shen Shixing didn't need to be reported, and directly entered Tang Ruji's study.

"Little fisherman, I came to ask for help!" (To be continued.) )
