Chapter 275: A Shortcut to Promotion
"I didn't expect the Queen Mother to expose her intentions like this, just because those students were not worth it. I don't know what kind of promise the Queen Mother made to them, so many people with lofty ideals were gathered, but in the end, the position had already been given to the person who was determined. ”
Thinking of the demeanor of those people in the hall that day, Lu Ying still remembers it vividly, they are the ones who are played by fate. finally seized a chance to come back, but it was just a foil for those who were less talented than them, just a user.
"The true talents and real learning of those people are in the eyes of all the ministers. Even if you can hide the horse's feet for a while, it is impossible to be a momentum for a lifetime. ”
Relatively speaking, Shi Wang seemed much calmer, and since he knew about this, he was glad that he finally knew Empress Dai's plan.
The talents she recommended before were all over the ministries, and no matter how Empress Dai expressed it, the fear in her heart was self-evident.
This drama was specially made this time to compete with her.
It's just that she saw the wrong time and chose the wrong method.
Shi Wang's selection of people does have the heart to resist Empress Dai, but more importantly, he wants to reverse the situation in the DPRK and China to a stable situation, so as not to let selfish people dominate the government and the opposition, and not to let Empress Dai lose his senses.
Besides, those courtiers are all people with real talents and learning, and when they are placed in the part, no one will feel that they can't afford it.
And Empress Dai was too anxious, putting all these people on the table, and the methods used were too eager to cover up.
But then I thought about it, and I really felt sad and lamentable.
The real Wei family now has only one bloodline left, and she has no heirs left, and the current situation does not allow her to have any more heirs.
In this way, select some people who can be used from the side branches and distant houses that are far away and far away, and even pull passers-by who have nothing to do with it, but only have the surname Wei into the game, only to deceive themselves and others, and create the illusion that the Wei family's momentum is gradually rising.
How is this not a poor man?
"Speaking of which, you also participated in this year's scientific expedition, and you are also the one who failed the list. This time, the candidates were re-selected, but you were not selected, don't you have some unwillingness? Shi Wang showed a somewhat mocking tone,
Lu Ying turned her face and turned her back to Shi Wang, a little embarrassed: "I am also a regular servant of the Tai Academy from the fourth grade, this is the fat difference in the palace, where is it rare to compete with them for official positions." ”
Lu Ying didn't expect that he would use these words to persuade others.
Shi Wang smiled, and did not puncture the thoughts in his heart.
It stands to reason that after installing a few of his own people in the court, he should first be silent for a while, so as not to attract attention and be suspicious.
But Empress Dai did the opposite, and in a short period of time, she deliberately issued an order to let them deal with some small affairs, which were simple and easy to do, and then praised their achievements during the period, and added officials to the knighthood, and raised the official positions of several people by many grades for a while.
This caused the ministers to be dissatisfied.
Everyone has worked hard to get through the years and seniority and achievements step by step, and suddenly they have been promoted to so many high-ranking courtiers, they can be regarded as poor and white in comparison, how can they convince the courtiers.
First, General Bai does have his own merits on the battlefield, and he has served for a long time, so he has the confidence to be promoted, and secondly, Empress Dai only promoted such a general, and he is a member of her own family, which is really understandable.
Compare the two before and after, how not to be angry.
"Queen Mother, is it an exaggeration to be promoted to such a small achievement?" Wen Xiang asked with a smile, still not in an affirmative tone.
"Master Wen, I don't know."
Empress Dai's face was calm, with an impatient look, and Huang Mengcheng answered him: "This merit is merit, everyone recognizes it, and it can naturally be rewarded." Although it is only a matter of theft in front of us, if this organization is not arrested, in the future, it will know the law and break the law, act arbitrarily, and even intensify it, and even cause chaos in the capital, which will be a disaster. Isn't it a merit to get rid of him? ”
"Lord Huang's words are strange," Wen gradually sneered, "According to Lord Huang's words, then whether it is a magistrate or a minister of Xingdu, as long as you catch a few thieves and solve a few murders, you can be promoted?" ”
This was echoed by all the ministers.
Huang Mengcheng didn't seem to be at all for everyone's attitude, but he was still full of will: "If you have someone to recommend, you can also submit it to report." I believe that the Queen Mother will also be able to agree with this move. ”
"Lord Huang is right," Empress Dai stood up and said to the ministers, "As long as you have good talents in your hearts and can take on great responsibilities, you will report to me." As long as it is indeed a talent that can be created, the mourning family will naturally promote him to an official position. ”
That being said, who can be so cheeky to promote people in such a way.
was gagged by the words of the two, and no one dared to raise any more objections.
But the thorn in my heart was buried after all.
If it's just to this extent, Shi Wang can still bear it, after all, he knows that there will be a day of dew in the future.
But Dai's next move made it difficult for Shi Wang to stand idly by.
In the early summer of this year, Empress Dai expanded the positions of many palace maids on the grounds that the harem was cold, and ordered the ministers to send the girls from the family into the palace, and if they behaved appropriately and had outstanding ability, they could stay as female officials and enjoy the benefits with the former courtiers.
If this is really the intention, it would be fine, Shi Wang would still have room to persuade Empress Dai to maneuver, after all, the harem is already small, and it is also true to say that it is cold.
But when the harem system was reformed, it was the two of them who cooperated to change and reduce expenditures, which saved a lot of military expenditure for the front-line war.
Now that the war has just ended, it has been expanded so aggressively, increasing manpower, and using the position of female officials as a lure, which represents the circulation of money, which is not a small amount.
"By the way, it's best to choose something that looks passable, otherwise, I'm afraid that King Li won't be able to look at it, but he will be unhappy."
"This ......" all the ministers are in trouble.
Is this the choice of a concubine for King Xiaoli, or a servant for Empress Dai? Otherwise, why bother with the requirement of beauty?
"Are you unwilling to send your daughter to the palace? Is it possible, will there be cannibalism in the palace? ”
The ministers were very frightened when they heard it, and they dared to say the word "no", so they could only reluctantly agree and make plans for the future.
"Queen Mother, Yuan Ping thinks it can't."
Or did he speak out against it.
Yuan Ping thought that this matter was a waste of money and was not conducive to the stability of the harem, so he felt that there was no need to invite more people into the palace. If the queen mother thinks that the harem is bleak, it is better to invite more skilled craftsmen, which can not only decorate the scenery in the palace, but also praise the Quartet with strange things, which is also a merit. ”
"Princess Yuanping thinks about everything for the palace, but the princess has long been out of the palace, and I am afraid that it will not be the princess's turn to take care of these things."
She spoke fiercely, with a full thorn, mocking Shi Wang, unwilling to let her interfere.
