In addition, His Majesty can let people secretly investigate the affairs of the year, as far as the minister knows, Wang Ge Lao has been honest and honest all his life, and his son is also well educated, there is no misunderstanding in this, if you can really find out something, Wang Ge Lao will be grateful to Your Majesty, if not, there is no loss, at least Wang Ge Lao will not be co-opted by the prime minister. After all, Wang Ge Lao has been loyal to His Majesty over the years, and His Majesty has passed on that there are some things in his position that have to be done in accordance with the rules, but in terms of reason, Wang Ge Lao has been taken care of over the years, so he said that this is Your Majesty's personal selfishness, and you also trust Wang Ge Lao, even if you have it, you can withstand the work of so many years. ”

"I originally thought that even if Wang Ge Lao defected, I wouldn't blame him, after all, I have helped me all these years, but it is far less thoughtful than you think."

"Your Majesty, there are some things that people have to know, otherwise others don't know that they can't receive your grace, as the emperor, you should be gracious and powerful."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

In addition, the minister felt that the prime minister's trip was purposeful, and Wang Ge would definitely not be able to continue to stay, whether he was convicted and repatriated, or he voluntarily resigned, he couldn't stay any longer, so this position would be vacant, Du Ruofeng happened to be in the cabinet, and the prime minister must want to take the opportunity to push Du Ruofeng to the top. Your Majesty can make it difficult and take the opportunity to force the prime minister to step down, of course, the prime minister can't step down like that, but he can always make a promise, when the time comes, it will be easy for His Majesty to do whatever he wants, and after Du Ruofeng successfully ascends the throne, the prime minister will definitely stop in a short time, and His Majesty can just take the opportunity to stop fighting. It just so happens that the crown prince's sealing position and the post-establishment ceremony will come, and the process can be put on the line, and this smokeless war will be terminated without a trace. ”

The so-called ministers, all they have to do is to give advice to the emperor, and how to implement it is the emperor's business.

"Okay."

"In addition, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to give the Hubu Shangshu together, if the Hubu Shangshu is His Majesty's person and succeeds in taking office, His Majesty will not have to tear his face with the Prime Minister, Du Ruofeng successfully ascended to the throne, and the Prime Minister will always find an opportunity to step down by himself, so we don't need to do anything else. We just need to wait a little longer, the position of the head of the household is rare and vacant, and it cannot be missed. ”

"Hmm."

……

Seven days were fleeting.

Thanks to the blessing of the old king's pavilion, the court has been calm these days, there has been no storm, no one has been impeached again, and every day the court talks about some routine trivial things.

Until the seven-day time limit arrived, the hundred officials held their breath.

Huo Hanyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, reported on the recent investigation of the case of Cao Kan, the son of Wang Ge Lao, and said that no specific case had been found.

Almost the moment Huo Hanyi finished speaking, Wang Ge Lao exploded directly, first scolded Yushi Zhang Shun, and then sprinkled a piece of words to express his loyalty, telling his upright and righteous words over the years, and his voice was full of emotion, and he tried his best to express his anger at being splashed with dirty water.

And Wang Ge Lao's anger did not come from this incident, but from the events of the year, for the sake of his son's life was handled too quickly, some things were not carefully investigated, and the news passed by the emperor made him have a mind, and he couldn't help but ask his son again, he was really caught a little wrong, how he was not angry, how not angry, this matter deeply tormented him for many years.

What's even more angry is that fortunately he saved his son with a trace of selfishness at that time, if he is stubborn, then his son will not die in vain, and where else will he find his son.

"The minister is old, I beg Your Majesty to let the minister return to his hometown." After sprinkling a large number of angry words, Wang Ge Lao resigned with decadence in his eyes.

"Elder Wang Ge, since this matter is a misunderstanding, you don't need to mind, my cabinet needs you."

"Thank you for the grace of Your Majesty, the minister has already reached the age of going home to retire, but it is only one or two years in advance, please Your Majesty for the sake of the minister's hard work for so many years, and let the minister unload his armor and return to the Yuan a year or two earlier."

Wang Ge Lao's face was sincere.

The emperor was silent, and for a while, the atmosphere in the Jinluan Hall was quiet and a little depressing.

"If Your Majesty is worried that the minister's departure will affect the operation of the cabinet, Your Majesty does not need to worry, there are many talents in the younger generation of the cabinet, and the minister wants to serve His Majesty, but the age does not allow it."

"Elder Wang Ge, you are sure that you want to remove your armor and return to the Yuan, once I nod, you will have no room for maneuver."

"The minister is sure, and I ask Your Majesty for permission."

"In this case, I will allow you to step down from the post of Pavilion Elder and return to the Yuan."

"Thank you, Lord Long."

This result was somewhat unexpected and somewhat unexpected for the courtiers, but everyone's expectations were different from those expected.

"There are so many twists and turns in the cabinet every day, there are no fewer people, this vacancy has to be filled, and the previous position of the head of the household department has been vacant, I don't know what suggestions you Aiqing have?"

Hubu Shangshu was dismissed, but the position has been vacant, Ji Chengye has not been promoted, because he knows that once he is promoted, it will be another fight, so he is waiting for time.

Now it's really just right.

The position of the cabinet scholar and the position of the head of the household department are equally important, and he mentioned it at the same time, even if Du Zhen wants to calculate, but he can't include the two positions in the bag at one time, he must choose one, as for which one to choose, it depends on Du Zhen's own choice.

"For a while, Zhong Aiqing may not be able to think about it, after the early dynasty, everyone will go back and think about it, and we will discuss it tomorrow morning." Ji Chengye asked yes, but he didn't want to answer, but threw such a temptation there, and then left directly.

"Go down." Drop those two words, get up and leave.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Hundreds of officials knelt down and watched the emperor leave.

It's a matter of impeachment every day, and now it's finally a matter of promotion, so does it mean that this smokeless game has stopped?

Thinking like this, the hundred officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, their hearts became active again, these two are powerful positions, who doesn't want to occupy them.

At that moment, the officials gathered in groups and discussed with their friends.

……

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Ji Chengye got straight to the point as soon as he came, "Can you Aiqing think about what I said yesterday?" Do you have candidates recommended by the Household Department and the Cabinet Scholars? ”

Baiguan, you look at me, I look at you, and then compete to be out of the ranks, this is not the time to be humble.

"The minister recommended the household servant to be promoted to the household department, and the household servant is very familiar with the various matters of the household department, and he is directly competent, and he is handy to deal with it, and it is logical."

"There are many talents in the Hanlin Academy, and the minister feels that he can choose a person with both ability and political integrity from the Hanlin Academy to serve as the secretary of the household department."

"The minister thinks that it is not necessary to choose from the household department, the other five departments can be selected, and the criminal department is not bad."

……

Hundreds of officials vied with each other to speak, and you and I all expressed their opinions, but all of them were discussed around the position of the head of the household department, and no one mentioned the cabinet scholars.
