Chapter 100 - Selection of Cabinet Ministers
There is nothing to say about the appointment of the emperor and the reward ministers, Li Jiancheng gave the official position and a second-rank title, which is also understandable, so far Sun Chengzong officially began to step into the political center of the Ming Dynasty.
But there is one thing that everyone thinks is unusual, the emperor said that Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong scripture, was temporary, rather than letting him directly 'take office'. This article made everyone feel that it seemed that the emperor still had arrangements for this matter.
The matter of Liaodong Jinglu can be said to have been settled for the time being, not only because of Yuan Yingtai's defeat in the competition, but also because of the changes in the situation at this time, which caused losses among various parties. It can be said that no one in this game, including the emperor, has received any benefits, and the emperor's thoughts are not to be discussed, at least there is a seat in the eyes of everyone that is more important than the Liaodong Jingluo. This seat is the position of cabinet minister vacated from Liu Yijing.
Similarly, Li Jiancheng dared to boldly recommend Sun Chengzong and make him an official because he realized this matter. Because these people are staring at the position of the cabinet minister! Even the Donglin Party did not dare to hate the emperor for this, Donglin finally had such a situation, but this time they lost the most, completely because of this loss of a cabinet minister, if it is because of this is the complete loss of this cabinet minister election position, it is called a loss of Mrs. and a philosopher!
Perhaps the ministers of today's court meeting feel that the main theme is the long-term determination of this cabinet minister, whether it is the Donglin Party or the three parties of Qi Chuzhe, they are all like wolves and tigers for this position.
The Donglin Party's desire for this position is definitely far higher than the pursuit of the Liaodong Economic Strategy, because this position is a necessary condition for his Donglin Cabinet, and it is absolutely impossible to give up a Liaodong Economic Strategy position for this reason.
Also for Qi Chuzhe and the three parties, this is definitely a key to breaking the morale of Donglin's rise, and even driving Donglin out of the cabinet in the future, regaining power, and even kicking Donglin out of the court.
So this situation is very serious for either side of the two sides, and both sides need to go all out.
Li Jiancheng looked at the situation below and squinted his eyes, his previous words were not objected to, this situation was as he expected, these people still had to ask him Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng then spoke: "The matter of Liaodong Jinglu is like this for the time being, and Teacher Sun will temporarily replace him, and he will make a decision after finding out the matter of Xiong Ting's porridge." ”
"Well, now let's talk about the selection of cabinet assistants." As soon as Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he then hit the topic directly, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all looked up, and everyone knew that the main drama of this court meeting was coming.
Everyone looked at Li Jiancheng and waited for the emperor to speak first, and Li Jiancheng said unceremoniously: "For the matter selected by the cabinet ministers, you have not broken the letter in the past two days, and you have recommended many candidates to me, and you have also said a lot of reasons, it can be seen that you all attach great importance to the appointment of cabinet ministers, and I am also very serious about this matter, I don't want to elect the kind of minister who disregards tens of thousands of people." ”
"I don't think I've read much, but I know that the way of being a human being is the way to be good first, and I don't even have basic goodness, so what else can I do. Therefore, this time, I pay special attention to the character of the cabinet ministers. Li Jiancheng said.
He looks like righteous words, everyone looks at this little emperor and everyone knows in their hearts, what is good and what is good, for politicians, good and evil are just a two-sided chess piece, they are just a kind of words and slogans. Perhaps only this little emperor who has not died in the world would value these things so much. But in fact, Li Jiancheng understands that it is a waste of energy to talk to them about this, whether it is culture, education or cognition, they are all different, maybe even if they are the same, it will be in vain! But he, Li Jiancheng, was not a natural politician, he was just an adult city citizen. As for right and wrong, whether mature or not, suitable or not, he has his own opinion.
In fact, since he ascended the throne, the Donglin Party can be said to have been weakened by various blows in the past two months, although they all brought it on themselves, but without him, Li Jiancheng would definitely not have the situation of today's government.
The weakening of the Donglin Party and the growing prestige of Fang Congzhe are the keys to achieving checks and balances in the current situation. These are all things that Li Jiancheng has done unintentionally, and it can be said that they are already ideal, so in fact, Li Jiancheng himself is not very eager for this cabinet minister's resignation, and for him, whether it is to suppress Donglin or support Qi Chuzhe, these are not what he wants.
Anyway, it is not good for him that these people are in power, and the Donglin Party is not a good bird, so it is not necessarily that Qi Chuzhe can do any good things when he is in power, all in all, who of these people is in power, this is not the political environment he Li Jiancheng wants.
So he, Li Jiancheng, is actually willing not to choose this cabinet minister for the time being, Li Jiancheng pretended not to pretend to say something, which is probably the meaning of procrastination.
Li Jiancheng then said: "So I think about it, and I feel that there is one person who is very suitable for the requirements in my mind. ”
Li Jiancheng said this harmlessly, and as soon as he said it, everyone was surprised, the emperor actually had a candidate in his heart, and the cabinet minister Han Kuang was the first to ask: "May I ask Your Majesty, what ......is this?" Who the hell is it? ”
Li Jiancheng listened to his question and said to him with a smile: "This person Mr. Han must be familiar with him, that is Mr. Ye, who I met in front of the palace gate once last time and stood up with Mr. Han." What do you think! ”
As soon as Li Jiancheng's words came out, everyone was shocked, and Li Jiancheng's candidate was actually Ye Xianggao! Everyone is talking about it.
Seeing that they were stunned, Li Jiancheng, who was sitting on it, was happy in his heart, and he continued: "The last time Mr. Ye stood up after Fang Shoufu to lead the world's scholars to express his position, that kind of style and open-mindedness made me admire. This Mr. Ye must be a kind and benevolent person, if Mr. Ye comes to be this minister, I will definitely rest assured. ”
Li Jiancheng's words once again changed the atmosphere in the court, and everyone unconsciously looked at Fang Congzhe. Fang Congzhe also looked at the emperor in amazement, he really didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing.
Because you have to know that Ye Xianggao was a minister of the first assistant back then, although Fang Congzhe's appointment as the first assistant was caused by the compromise between the parties and the horses. But how to say that Fang Congzhe was also brought out by Ye Xianggao.
Good guy, the emperor said that just now. said that after Fang Congzhe stood up first, Ye Xianggao and Han Kuang stood up, that grandeur? Is this swearing? When Ye Xianggao was the first assistant, Fang Congzhe was the cabinet minister, and now Fang Congzhe is the first assistant, are you looking for Ye Xianggao to give Fang Congzhe a hand? Only this little emperor can do this!
Everyone looked at the emperor strangely, and they didn't know if he did it on purpose, but of course he Li Jiancheng did it on purpose, Li Jiancheng continued to say to Han Kuang: "How about Mr. Han, you can talk to Mr. Ye about this!" ”
Han Kuang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, although he Han Kuang had been urging Ye Xianggao to be a sergeant, but that was also when Donglin was in full swing, how could he be subservient to Ye Xianggao?
Don't say that he doesn't want to, even if he really becomes a scholar, he won't be laughed to death, and he will grow Fang Congzhe's prestige again, so Han Kuang didn't have to think about it and said to the emperor: "Eh! Returning to His Majesty, this Mr. Ye has been idle at home and has lived a happy life, and recently he has a grandson, I am afraid that he has no intention of becoming a scholar. ”
Han Kuang said this clearly, but in fact, he politely refused, but how could Li Jiancheng let him get his wish, he said directly: "Hey, don't mind!" Although Mr. Ye is like this, this matter still depends on Mr. Han's lobbying. Mr. Han is not allowed to refuse, this matter is decided, this Zi Zhen will keep it for him, anyway, there are two people in the cabinet, Fang Shoufu and Mr. Han, and they are not in a hurry to add. It was up to Mr. Han to slowly lobby Mr. Ye. ”
Facing the emperor's scoundrel, Han Kuang also had bitterness and couldn't say it. The other ministers heard that this cabinet minister couldn't settle down in a short time, and just when someone was about to speak, Li Jiancheng suddenly sighed on the dragon chair and said: "If Mr. Ye really doesn't want to, then he can only choose talents based on merit in the future, after all, I can't force Mr. Ye!" ”
The emperor said this suddenly, and before he was still in a tone that Ye Xianggao couldn't do, but then he was deflated again, what does this mean? Li Jiancheng's meaning is naturally to give the other three parties a chance. This is called gagsing on both sides, and the opportunity is only given to the Donglin Party, which naturally makes people dissatisfied, but if Ye Xianggao doesn't come, Li Jiancheng will have to 'select and appoint talents', and this selection of talents may not have anything to do with him Donglin Party.
But can Ye Xianggao bypass that hurdle and be outnumbered? The emperor would definitely not choose the others of Donglin. This matter is completely scorched.
Ye Xianggao will have to wait if he doesn't come, but Han Kuang will tell the matter to death and say that he Ye Xianggao will definitely not come? Not to mention anything else, it's that Ye Xianggao won't be able to come out of the taxi in the future! For this, Han Kuang also had to be dragged along. And the other three parties in this court can't find anyone with a higher prestige than Ye Xianggao, so everyone can't continue to recommend, and this matter is also strangled by him Li Jiancheng. No one got it, and there was still a fight, which was also acceptable to everyone.
In addition, there are also many people in the three parties who want to see how Ye Xianggao makes a fool of himself to become this auxiliary minister, and this is not in their interests. This time, the dispute between the ministers was smashed by Li Jiancheng's office. Seeing that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were playing Li Jiancheng with no book and planning to serve the main dish he prepared today, everything just now was the staple food that those ministers thought it was, and now it was his turn to serve Li Jiancheng. —————————————————————————————— beg for push!
