"Are there good candidates for the six subjects?"

The officials who swept the eyes all bowed their heads, and for this kind of thing, the six branches could only symbolically mention a few names.

"Hu Lao Aiqing, what do you think?"

"The old minister thinks that Lord Chen Xunchen, Master Ma Yuma and Lord Cao Naicao are all suitable candidates." Hu Hu didn't shy away from it, anyway, he was also a person who was ready to retire, and it didn't matter what he said.

What's more, he is older than Yang Pu's qualifications, he can be said to be the god needle of the Dingchao, and he also has the most mysterious intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty, the secret spy of the Jiaofang Division.

Even Wang Zhen wants to give him three points, this sect is a secret spy all over the country, hidden among the people, it can be a prostitute, a beggar, or a gangster.

Of course, there are the most female spies in the teaching workshop, and it is not only for domestic countries, but also for the secret spies of the teaching workshop.

These are all in the hands of Hu Hui.

This intelligence force was relatively independent, and was originally established to find Emperor Jianwen, who may not have been killed by the fire.

Hu Hu is the person in charge of this task.

Whether Emperor Jianwen was found or not, only Hu Hu and the dead Yongle Emperor knew, because, the final result of the search, Hu Hu only sued Emperor Jianwen.

After that, Hu Hui entered the center, went through the Renxuan Dynasty, and then to the current emperor, plus the previous Jianwen Dynasty, which can be described as the elder of the Five Dynasties.

recommended three people in one go, which means that among these three people, the emperor should choose one.

"Metropolitan Procuratorate, what is your opinion?"

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has no opinion." The left governor of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, Wang Wen, came out of the line.

"I'm asking if you have a candidate?"

"This ......," Wang Wen hesitated.

"The minister recommended the Ministry of Industry Zuo Shilang and the Tokaku University Shi Gao Gu to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet!" Yu Qian suddenly stepped out of the queue.

"Yu Aiqing, do you recommend Gao Gu?"

"Yes. Weichen recommended Gao Gu, Gao Gu is an honest official, fair in doing things, and is a rare pillar of talent, not to mention that Gao Gu is already in the cabinet and is familiar with cabinet affairs, if he is in charge of cabinet affairs, the courtiers will be convinced! Yu Qian said.

"Gao Aiqing, Yu Aiqing recommended you to be the first assistant, what do you think?" Zhu Qizhen asked Gao Gudao with a smile.

"Wechen is over the age of six. The body is not as good as before. The position of the first assistant is so important, it may be difficult for Weichen to take on it. Takaya hurriedly stepped out of the line.

"So, you don't want to be this first assistant?"

"It's not that the old minister is unwilling, but there are more people who are qualified to serve as the first assistant than the old minister. No matter how it turns, it can't be the turn of the old minister. Takaya said busily.

"Huh. Good. Gao Lao Aiqing is honest and cute. Zhu Qizhen laughed.

Among the six members of the cabinet, Yang Pu is not to mention, and the remaining five people are actually qualified to serve as the first assistant. To say who has the best odds.

Two people, one is Chen Xun, he is already the second assistant, even if he can't be the first assistant, no one can replace his position as the second assistant for the time being.

There is also Cao Nai, Cao Nai entered the mountain in the eighth year of Xuande, only forty-five years old, in the prime of life, and he was still jointly recommended by Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi, the two former first assistants, to enter the cabinet. Although Cao Nai ranked third in the cabinet, after Yang Rong's death, Yang Shiqi was often ill, and most of the cabinet affairs were handed over to him, so Cao Nai's familiarity with cabinet affairs was still above Chen Xun.

The last three people, Miao Zhen is the right attendant of the military department, and the time of entering the cabinet is still short, and the position of the first assistant basically does not need to be considered.

And then there's Takaya and Ma Yu.

Takaya is an old minister, but he has not been in the cabinet for a long time, although he has qualifications, he is not ranked high in the cabinet, so he has hope, but not much hope.

The last Ma Yu, this person is a champion, or the first champion in Jiangbei in the Ming Dynasty, orthodox five years to enter the cabinet as a bachelor, and then promoted to the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and his teacher is the first assistant of the cabinet Yang Pu.

Ma Yu is more than half a hundred years old, but his health is the worst of several cabinet scholars, and he is often sick.

Therefore, the possibility of Ma Yu serving as the first assistant is the least, and Chen Xun and Ma Yu have a discordant relationship, and the two often quarrel over the government.

Therefore, if Ma Yu is the first assistant, Chen Xun should quit.

The first assistant candidate, one more from the six officials, the probability is not large, after all, the emperor also hopes that the government is stable, and from the back of the five people, it is the first choice.

Who will be the first assistant, if it is selected according to seniority, then Gao Gu has a chance, but in terms of the length of time he has been in the cabinet, although this Cao Nai is young, he has been in the cabinet for more than ten years.

That's not short.

The emperor is also thinking about promoting Chen Xun, which is the most convenient, but he doesn't like Chen Xun's temperament a little.

This guy is too opinionated, a little stubborn, this is the first assistant, that is, the prime minister, if the prime minister doesn't have a little belly, how can he manage such a big country?

It is not okay for the prime minister of a country not to listen to the opinions of others, especially those who usually have opinions with him.

Cao Nai, a little younger, relatively speaking, is not too young, even if he serves as the first assistant, there will inevitably be some criticism.

Gao Gu is always old, but the enterprising spirit is insufficient, and there are advantages and disadvantages in choosing and choosing.

Zhu Qizhen's gaze involuntarily fell on Wang Zhen's face, hoping that the teacher who had raised him since he was a child could give him a good idea.

But in this kind of court meeting, Wang Zhen, as the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the chief eunuch, is very taboo to open his mouth to speak.

It doesn't matter if he says an inconsequential word once in a while, if he meddles in the affairs of the court, I'm afraid that the imperial historians standing below will be the first to rush up and reason with him.

Today's dynasty, the first auxiliary candidate is to be decided, this is one of the issues, the first auxiliary can't be decided, the courtiers' hearts can't be settled, this people's hearts are unstable, how can they rest assured about the king's affairs?

Wang Zhen's heart was full of joy, but he did not have any expression, but a calm expression like water, and did not respond to the emperor's inquiry.

The emperor didn't get the answer he wanted, and suddenly he saw Meng Yan standing under the pillar.

The emperor didn't know that Meng Yan was on duty today, and when he saw Meng Yan appear, he was very surprised, and blurted out: "Meng Aiqing, you are here too." ”

The eyes of the ministers all followed the direction of the emperor's face to Meng Yan, who was standing under the pillar.

Wipe!

I'm just here to stand guard on a rotating basis. It's not from the court, you greet him like this, this is not putting him in plain sight.

"Weichen is in armor, it is inconvenient to salute, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" Meng Yan said loudly.

"It's okay, I didn't expect Aiqing to take turns guarding today, it's the first time I've seen you wearing armor, it's very heroic!" Zhu Qizhen said at the exit.

"Thank the emperor for his praise and stand guard for the emperor to take turns and escort him. It is the responsibility of Wechen! Meng Yan said loudly.

Don't show your loyalty at this time. That's stupid, just a few sensual words anyway.

"Okay, Aiqing said it well." Zhu Qizhen stroked his palms and laughed, "Meng Aiqing also heard it." Today's Pilgrimage. I have consulted with my ministers. Who do you think of the four Aiqing recommended by Hu Lao Aiqing and Yu Aiqing is qualified for the position of first assistant to the cabinet? ”

"This is not very good, Weichen is Jinyiwei, and Weichen can't understand the affairs of the cabinet at all. Besides, the division of labor between civil and military, the minister is a martial artist, and the affairs of the literati can't be understood, and the minister doesn't know these four adults? Meng Yan said busily.

"Then Aiqing can come up with a way to choose one of the four of them to be the first assistant for me?" Zhu Qizhen said on a whim.

"Isn't that okay?" The four big words "voting and election" came to Meng Yan's mind.

"What's wrong, if your method is good, how about I reward you with a python robe?" Zhu Qizhen said.

Python clothes, Meng Yan secretly glanced at Wang Zhen and Jin Ying, these two people were wearing big red python clothes, of course, with his grade, it would be good to get a green python suit, how can the red python clothes be two grades.

This python suit is one level higher than the unicorn suit, and Jinyi Wei Nanbei Zhenfu Shi usually wears python clothes.

"Your Majesty, don't ......"

"Why not?" Zhu Qizhen turned around and glared at the minister who spoke up.

"The emperor has promoted the first and auxiliary ministers, what an important state affair this is, how can such a major matter be decided by a small brocade guard?" The third-grade waiter pointed at Meng Yan and said angrily.

"Liu Shilang, the emperor just said that Meng Qianhu should think of a way to select one of the four candidates for the first assistant, and did not say that he would leave this matter to Meng Qianhu to decide, your words are too outrageous?" Chen Yi, who has a cooperation with Meng Yan, stood up and spoke up.

That Liu Shilang's face turned red when he was choked.

"Even so, the emperor shouldn't ask such a low-level Qianhu about such an important matter, isn't there any official in this hall who can compare to this Meng Qianhu?" There is a courtier who occupies it, and the grade is not low, three grades.

Li Xi, the general envoy of the General Political Department, this guy is Wang Zhen's sworn friend, and the General Political Department, also known as the "Yintai", is in charge of accepting and inspecting the internal and external affairs and the sealed appeals of the subjects, and this position is very important.

Wang Zhen is the one who is through the guò Tong Zheng Si and Li Xi and other wolves bèi, framing the loyal and good, and the internal and external chapters often have to pass the guò Tong Zheng Si, such an important channel of speech is mastered by Wang Zhen, what the emperor can see is what he lets him see, and what he doesn't want the emperor to see, naturally he can't see it.

This Li Xi is Wang Zhen's minion, and Jinyiwei is in trouble with Dongchang and Si Li Supervisor, so he naturally becomes his Li Xi's enemy.

"Then who does Li Aiqing think can serve as the first assistant minister?"

"Weichen ......" Li Xi was speechless for a moment, and he broke out in a cold sweat in fright.

"Li Aiqing must have a way to share my worries, or else, you will decide the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet?"

"Wechen don't dare, Wechen deserves death!" Li Xi knelt on the ground with a frightened pop.

To be honest, Emperor Zhu Qizhen was also difficult to decide on these four candidates for a while, so he could postpone the discussion, but this was not what he wanted.

"Meng Aiqing, if you have a good way, just say it, I won't blame you!" Zhu Qizhen said.

"Your Majesty, there is no way for Weichen!" Meng Yan thought about it for a while, and finally decided not to say it, if he was to show off in the big court again, I was afraid that he would not be far from disaster.

What's more, if you still do this, you will steal the limelight from the emperor, which will be even more of a disaster.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter later, and I will consider these four candidates carefully." Zhu Qizhen waved his hand with some disappointment. (To be continued......)
