Li Linfu's promotion, Zhang Shuo didn't take it to heart at all, after all, for him, Li Linfu was too small, even when his uncle Jiang Jiao was alive, he didn't look at Li Linfu a few more times, if he could, he didn't even want to see Yu Wenrong more.

What's more, for him right now, grasping the election of officials is the most important thing.

The election of officials is only once a year, it is a grand event in the court, Zhang said that he was planning to do it well, so that the saint would trust himself more, but he didn't want to wait for him to speak, Yu Wenrong spoke again:

"Over the years, the election of officials has been managed by the princess, and the secretary is still the assistant of the secretary, if this year is still the case, the minister thinks something is wrong."

This sentence immediately ignited a fire in Zhang Shuo's heart - what did he Yu Wenrong want to say next, what did he want to do? Could it be that he is so arrogant that he wants to step over the officials, and even replace the head of the hundred officials to preside over the election of officials? He deserves it too!

Zhang said that he was just about to ask, when he heard a gentle cough from Li Longji's side.

Yu Wenrong's words were really unexpected by everyone, and Li Longji only felt funny when he was surprised. He was staring at Zhang Shuo's reaction, when he suddenly heard this voice, and immediately turned his head to look at the side: "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's body was fine, he coughed lightly just now, just to remind Zhang Shuo to be cautious in his words and deeds, it can be seen that Li Longji looked concerned, and he was a little weak for a while, and couldn't help but cover his lips and cough a few more times, and said: "I have indeed suffered a little cold in the past few days, it is not serious, thank you for your concern." Compared with national events, the minister's body is not worth mentioning, and Yuwen Zhongcheng's views are very novel, so everyone is not curious about what's wrong? ”

After speaking, she glanced at Zhang Shu faintly.

Zhang Shuo couldn't help but gasp - he was really not calm, it was a conversation between the Son of Heaven and Yu Wenrong, and before the Son of Heaven could answer, he interjected first, if it was just in normal times, it was not suitable at the moment. Since Yu Wenrong dared to open such a mouth in front of him, the so-called "inappropriate", even if he didn't ask, Yu Wenrong would say, what is he anxious about? After Yu Wenrong made it clear, he would argue with reason, this is the proper method.

What the hell is wrong with him, he can't hold his breath like this? Zhang said that while admonishing himself in his heart, he listened to Yu Wenrong and said: "The minister thinks that this matter of electing officials is always the responsibility of the minister and the secretary of the ministry, and after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a risk of forming a party for personal gain." ”

This is not only an impeccable truth, but also what Li Longji is worried about: "...... What does Zhang Xianggong think? ”

What else can Zhang say think? He felt that Yu Wenrong was deliberately targeting him, but he couldn't really say it, so he said: "The minister can promise the saint that the minister will never do such a rebellious thing, and the minister can also vouch for him." ”

He directly said this to see what Yu Wenrong could say.

Zhang's words and deeds did temporarily stump Yu Wenrong's mouth, and even strong words like Li Longji didn't know what to say for a while.

The hall was silent for a moment at this time, and just as Li Longji turned his head and wanted to give Xiao Jiangyuan a look, someone suddenly spoke.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw that it was Li Linfu who had not opened his mouth after entering the hall, except for saluting and thanking.

"The minister has the courage to say a lot, please forgive the saint and the public." Although Li Linfu is not as good as Zhang Jiuling, he has rules and standards, supplemented by a smile that makes people involuntarily let go of his defense, since he stepped into the officialdom, he has never lost a hundred battles, "The character of the Xianggong and the Ministry of Officials, I don't have to say, but the election of officials is too huge, and there are too many people involved.

"Yuwen Zhongcheng means that the prime minister and the official department are responsible for the selection of officials, which is a practice for many years, as we all know, it is inevitable that some people will move some crooked thoughts, to the large and small examiners to invite a guest or give a gift, which is also a matter of all years. The prosperity of the country is certainly the result of the efforts of the saints, and it is necessary to have a large number of talents and labor, if the selfishness of some people affects the employment of the imperial court, and then affects the country, although the minister is innocent, I am afraid that he will also blame himself for negligence, and feel deeply entrusted by the saints, right? ”

As soon as the words landed, Yu Wenrong straightened his chest.

Zhang Shuo was shocked and angry, shocked that Li Linfu, a little minion, would become today's variable, and angry that he had a really good relationship with Jiang Jiao back then, but now he was ruined by his nephew. He stared fixedly at the originally inconspicuous villain, as if he had never known Li Linfu.

Zhang Jiuling was also quite surprised. He had only heard that Li Linfu was very capable of doing things before, and after he had intersections, he only had a deep impression of him. If there is no Fang Cai's words, after today, Li Linfu in his eyes, I am afraid that he will still be like many capable ministers like Yu Wenrong, and even some Wenchen, although he is really talented, he is too utilitarian, but it is a pity.

But when Li Linfu spoke, everything was different.

If Zhang said that it was the culmination of Wenchen and Nengchen, then in Zhang Jiuling's eyes, Li Linfu was neither a side nor a full capable minister. He even felt that what Li Linfu said just now was not only very reasonable, but also somewhat of a matter of facts, and wholeheartedly for the public.

If he can, he also hopes that Zhang Xianggong will focus on state affairs, as for the mind of the Son of Heaven, it is enough not to seek merit but to seek no fault, but Zhang Xianggong ...... Apparently it won't be what he wants.

In fact, what Yu Wenrong wanted to say, Zhang Jiuling could roughly guess it after listening to the beginning. The content of Yu Wenrong's words is not the most important, the most important thing is that Yu Wenrong could have played the saint in private, but now he chose to openly question his virtue and ability in front of Zhang Xianggong, which is not only taking the initiative to break the previous well water and not violating the river water, but also attacking head-on - this is also the most unexpected and intolerable for Zhang Xianggong.

They obviously came prepared, but Zhang Xianggong was in an abnormal stage and had lost the opportunity.

Li Longji was also very surprised by Li Linfu's performance, and couldn't help but look at Li Linfu a few more times.

It is worthy of being the queen of the clan, although the blood relationship is far away, his eyebrows and eyes are still somewhat similar to his, and his nose and lips are quite similar to Jiang Jiao's. Well, the appearance is not bad, the posture is upright, it seems innocent and harmless, but in fact, it is a thousand pounds. Thinking of this, Li Longji couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jiangyuan - in terms of how to behave in the world, these two people are a little similar.

What satisfied Li Longji the most was that Li Linfu was ostensibly helping Yu Wenrong speak, but he was actually helping him.

He couldn't let Li Linfu be hated by Zhang Shuo like this, so he didn't wait for Zhang Shuo to speak, and said: "The prime minister and the ministry are responsible for the election of officials, and they are in their positions to seek their own government, there is no doubt about it. Even if this method has some drawbacks, if it can be followed for many years, it shows that it is indeed feasible and effective, otherwise it can be changed sooner rather than later. There is nothing wrong with the method, it is the people who are wrong, it is not difficult to ask questions, the difficult thing is how to solve the problem. Zhang Xianggong, you said yes, right? ”

Zhang said busily: "The minister also means this. ”

Li Longji nodded: "Yuwen Zhongcheng, since you can raise this question today, there is a solution?" Let's hear it. ”

"Exactly." Yuwen Rong said, "The minister thinks that in this election of officials, the saint can choose ten people with high moral integrity and good conduct as envoys among the hundred officials, and let them take charge of it." Since then, these ten people have been selected by the saints temporarily, so that the disadvantages can be greatly reduced, and the selection of talents can be more fair and just. ”

Zhang said that he could think of what Yu Wenrong was about to say, but he didn't expect it to be so excessive. He couldn't help it at all: "You are wantonly disrupting the official system of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, this is nonsense!" In the past, you just covered the fields and persuaded the peasants, but now the election of officials will also increase the number of envoys, and in the future, will you arrange a special envoy for all major and minor affairs of the country, or supervise or simply take charge?! Who's going to be the envoy, you? Then what is the use of your imperial history platform, and what is the use of civil and military officials?! The entire imperial court has become a plate of scattered sand because of this, do you know what kind of hidden dangers this will bring to Datang?! Yu Wenrong, for your own selfish interests, you dare to disregard the official weapons of the imperial court?! ”

Zhang Jiuling hurriedly got up and went over, grabbed Zhang and said, didn't let him step forward and pull Yu Wenrong's collar. Yu Wenrong looked wronged and aggrieved, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and knelt down in front of Li Longji's imperial case: "The minister is dedicated to the country, and he will discuss matters on a case, please let the saint know it!" ”

Li Linfu knew that Zhang Shuo would be angry, but he didn't expect Zhang Shuo's reaction to be so big. He knelt down with Yu Wenrong, and his eyes drifted to where Xiao Jiangyuan was.

I saw her glance at Zhang Shuo a little helplessly, and then lowered her eyes as if nothing had happened.

It's right to learn from Xiao Jiangyuan, it is indeed inappropriate for him to speak again at this time, so as not to offend Zhang Shuo ruthlessly, and when Zhang Shuo has not quit the prime minister, his career will stop first, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Thinking so, Li Linfu looked at Li Longji who had come out after the imperial case, and didn't want to meet the gaze of the Son of Heaven.

He was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous at the look he received, but he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately changed his mind and said, "Why is Zhang Xianggong so impatient? The so-called envoy is only temporary, whether it is needed in the future, naturally it will be said later, and at the moment, everything is still decided by the saint, can it be that what the minister can think of, the saint can't think of? ”

Although Li Linfu's tone was bitter, as if he was thinking about Zhang every word, but when Yu Wenrong heard it, it was like a heavenly sound. It is rare to see Zhang Shuo deflated, and his feelings are no longer enough to describe his whole body as comfortable and refreshed.

Li Longji almost didn't laugh out loud. He gave Li Linfu a look, and wanted Li Linfu to answer and give him a step, but he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Li Linfu reacted so quickly, and he never let himself have too much trouble with Zhang Shuo.

The rest of the matter is easy to do, it is nothing more than to appease Zhang Shuo, but what should be done about things.

Li Longji immediately appointed Yu Wenrong, Su Yi, Huaizhou Assassin Shi, and other 10 people as special envoys to preside over the election of officials, but the power of the prime minister and the officials was not deprived, and the final list will be decided by Li Longji, the prime minister and the officials, and the 10 special envoys.

This made Zhang Shuo angry once.
