Just when the officials of the Ministry of Industry were nervously dredging the river and water conservancy, there was another major event in the court that attracted the attention of the officials of Jingzhao. Even the Ministry of Industry is very concerned about this matter in such a busy situation, that is, Shangshu's right servant is about to be replaced.

In early April, Shangshu's right servant shot Gan Mingquan to beg for bones, and Emperor Changtai was reluctant to accept his illness and retirement, and resolutely kept him in office. The monarch and the minister asked three to stay, and finally the Changtai Emperor finally allowed, tears said "the monarch and the minister are not negative", and ordered Gan Mingquan to continue to enjoy the whole fortune after the office, in addition to rewarding five thousand taels of silver, five cars and five chariots, but also rewarded a lot of royal clothes, Shaofu Wenqi mink, and also ordered to exempt the descendants of the Gan family from taxes, labor and military service, until Gan Mingquan died.

Not only that, Emperor Changtai also specially sent Jinwu right guard to escort Gan Mingquan back to his hometown in Sichuan. Such a favor made the officials of Jingzhao envious of Gan Mingquan, and the fact that Emperor Changtai and Gan Mingquan got along with each other was also rumored to be a good story, and even some opera troupes even performed this incident. Immediately afterwards, who succeeded Gan Mingquan as Shangshu's right servant became the focus of attention of all forces.

Zhongshu Ling, the subordinate monk and the left and right servants are privately called the "first four secretaries" by Dayong officials, which shows that the respect and importance of the status is definitely above the hundred officials. Among them, Shangshu's right servant is in charge of the soldiers, criminals, and workers, so even Shen Huashan cares about who will become Shangshu's right servant, and the chief officer who wants to get along in the future is of course something to care about, although theoretically the six Shangshu have the opportunity to be promoted, but Shen Huashan knows that he has only been in the Ministry of Industry for less than two years, how can it not be his turn this time, and he can still maintain peace of mind while caring.

But other people are not as calm as him, they have been dispatched, secretly plotting, asking who the emperor likes, recommending his own series of officials, **, the vestibule is surging, everyone is full of ideas, each with their own ability, as for whether it has an effect, that is another matter.

Concubine Zhang Defei carefully blew a few breaths on a bowl of ginseng soup, and then handed it to Emperor Changtai: "This is stewed by the concubine herself in the kitchen of Yanxi Palace, and the emperor will taste it." There was a quiet smile on his face.

Emperor Changtai nodded with satisfaction, today he turned over Concubine De's brand, the Qinghe incense lit by Yanxi Palace made him feel comfortable physically and mentally, and while talking to Concubine De, Emperor Changtai began to feel a little tired.

"Your Majesty, Lord Gan should also return to Sichuan, I heard that people outside are praising the peace between the emperor and Lord Gan...... and the monarch and ministers," Concubine Zhang Defei waited for Emperor Changtai to lie down, and intentionally or unintentionally talked about the shooting of Shangshu's right servant, and wanted to hear a little news from Emperor Changtai, so that his son's father-in-law Chen Zhihao had a bottom in his heart.

"Hmm......" Emperor Changtai didn't say anything, what Concubine De wanted to ask, he naturally knew, but he didn't want to say more.

"Look at Chen Zhihao, the secretary of the Ministry of War......" Concubine De was about to say something, but she saw Emperor Changtai glancing at her, stern and vigilant, she couldn't say what she wanted to say, knowing that Emperor Changtai was starting to get angry, ** must not interfere in politics, if Emperor Changtai really wants to blame it, she has nothing to say, she can't help but be shocked, it seems that the matter of recommending Chen Zhihao to the emperor can only be said later. Meekly and meekly attached to Emperor Changtai's body, and sighed like an orchid: "The concubine has overstepped the ...... The concubines serve the emperor......"

The fragrant and cold golden lion was turned over by the red waves......

Concubine Li of Chunxi Palace was not in a hurry. In the past 20 years, she has understood a truth more and more, and the more she cares, the more she can't be in a hurry. Although the emperor's heart is unpredictable, but she can also grasp the temperament of Emperor Changtai, when Emperor Changtai came to Chunxi Palace, she only spoke softly and softly, talking about the spices and clothes newly sent in by Shaofu Temple, and occasionally talking about the five princes Shangguan Changzhi, and did not mention the matter of the right servant shooting at all. This made Emperor Changtai feel pity and couldn't help but remind her a few words: "You are a sensible person, what the ** woman is worried about the affairs of the previous dynasty, I have my own decision on this matter." ”

Li Guifei listened to this, and her heart was like this, Shangguan Changzhi had told her earlier that she wanted to plan for Qian Tongshi, so as to sell him a favor, she didn't agree with it, Emperor Changtai didn't like his son's ministers to be secret, if Emperor Changtai had other plans, it would be worth the loss, Shangshu's right servant shot this position is too sensitive, and ordinary people can't plan, besides, Qian Tongshi's way is now biased towards the unknown, which is inevitably too risky.

Although the three princes who are far away in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate can't do anything in person, he also has a mother concubine, Concubine Zhou Xian, in the Jingzhao Yikun Palace, and an uncle Zhou Yangxi is a squire of the Criminal Department, and they also plan to take advantage of this water to touch a few fish, and they also have their own actuarius. However, they did not intend to seek the position of the right servant for themselves, but wanted to push Xie Tongfu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to the position, once Xie Tongfu took office as the right servant of the Shangshu, the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department was none other than Zhou Yangxi.

Although the concubines and princes have made a lot of moves, they have not heard what Emperor Changtai has planned, and there is no news from Zhongshu Province and Dianzhong Province, indicating that Emperor Changtai has not yet made a final decision. Everyone thought that there was still a chance, and they all wanted to do something to see if they could affect Shangyi, and they wanted to start with the people close to Emperor Changtai, in this case, the internal guard eunuchs of the palace province have recently received a lot of rewards, and soon after the second princess went to visit the imperial aunt Shu and the eldest princess, Zhou Xianfei also asked the female official to send a lot of gifts to Shu and the eldest princess, and for a time the Zhenyuan Mansion was also very lively, and the Zhongshu Ling Wei Jingyao's family also ushered in the visit of Chen Zhihao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Yangxi, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Shen Ke also successively "met by chance" The second prince and the fifth prince......

Compared with the actions of these Dayong royal family and high-level officials, the thoughts of Jingzhao officials are much simpler, their official rank is too low, and they have no illusions about the position of Shangshu's right servant, so they naturally take another path: bet on treasure! Those who are conditionally promoted to the right servant of Shangshu, there are only a few people in Jingzhaoli, maybe the people you are close to are the people who belong to the emperor, hurry up and curry favor with those people, this is called early investment. Therefore, Liubu Shangshu and Jiusi Zhengqing have also been very busy recently, and suddenly many officials have come to visit and discuss friendships, and some even sent extremely valuable gifts, busy with gifts and returns, and time passed.

"I heard that Jingzhao has a gambling house and opened a handicap for this, and I heard that the old lady's odds are one to six, and the official book is one to one...... Girl, who do you say has the best chance? Qiu Gezheng asked Shen Ning with a serious face, she was really curious about who would become Shangshu's right servant, I heard my brother say that there were still people who bet on this, and I also wanted to know if this time the popular official Shangshu would be in office, the girl knew so much, and the person she liked could not be wrong.

"How do I know ......" Shen Ning smiled and said with a smile, but he was a little strange in his heart, how could he be so much in advance, he had the impression that Shangshu's right servant was only sick and begging in March next year, and the successor at that time was not Xu Youyuan, the official secretary of the Ministry of War, who thought was the most likely, but Chen Zhihao, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

I just don't know if it will be the same in this life?

didn't make everyone wait too long, and Emperor Changtai soon announced the candidate to replace Gan Mingquan. To everyone's surprise, Changtai ordered the Jiangnan Provincial Observation to make Ye Zhengchun the right servant of Shangshu, and at the same time promoted Dali Temple Zhengqing Wang Bei to the second grade, and sent him to the post of Jiangnan Provincial Observation Envoy, the original Dali Temple Shaoqing He Kenan replaced the post of Zhengqing, and made up for the Fuzhou Thorn Shi Qiu Shengnian as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and ordered the officials not to take office in the day, and the job handover, examination records, etc. must be orderly and thorough.

Among them, Ye Zhengchun is a flat tone on the surface, but in fact, he has secretly ascended, Jiangnan Province Thorn History and one of the top four secretaries, it is naturally self-evident which position is more important.

This result is not a good thing for the three princes, and no prince can get help from it.

As soon as this will came out, many officials felt that the bamboo basket was empty, but they didn't expect the emperor to transfer people from Jingzhao to be the right servant of Shangshu, the second prince and the first line of the military department were particularly disappointed, although the post of the military department was particularly disappointed, although the position of the military department was heavy, but the rank was still one level worse, the higher the position, the less the position, it was rare for Gan Mingquan to retire from illness, this opportunity did not strive for success, thinking of the flattery of the officials under the previous officials, Shangguan Chengyou and Chen Zhihao felt a little embarrassed.

Although the fifth prince, Shangguan Changzhi, was not satisfied with this result, but after thinking about it, this was much better than Chen Zhihao's ascension. Although he didn't get any benefits, but the second and third didn't get help, and now everyone was even, especially the second child, who was busy working in vain - he had also heard of the small actions of Concubine De and the second princess, thinking of this, Shangguan Changzhi was a little happy. However, he was accustomed to taking precautions, and after he was happy, he instructed Xu Sansi and others to step up the collection and sorting out all of Ye Zhengchun's information, and only wait for him to do what he liked after he took office.

Xu Youyuan, the secretary of the ministry, was still happy, and he didn't care about it at all. Seriously speaking, this Shangshu's right servant shot or he took the initiative to push it, originally Emperor Changtai belonged to him, and he had privately ordered him to enter the palace to reveal this meaning, but Xu Youyuan told Emperor Changtai about the diagnosis of his physical condition in the Shang Medicine Bureau, saying that he was not in good health, and he planned to wait for the exam, and he would beg for the bones with illness like Gan Mingquan, and at the same time, in order to solve problems for the emperor, he recommended Jiangnan Provincial Thorn Shi Ye Zhengchun to serve as the right servant of Shangshu.

Compared with the disappointment of the second prince and others, the officials of the Jiangnan family were happy, after all, the shade of the big trees was good for the shade. Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing are naturally no exception, not to mention Zhang Shu, and they specially went to Shen's house to celebrate with Shen Zejing and others, so Ye Zhengchun's son-in-law and student, the two of them were so excited that they were drunk and celebrated their father-in-law's promotion in advance.

This Jingzhao official bureau, with Ye Zhengchun's appointment and Gan Mingquan's illness and retirement, quietly began to change, some people perceived this, and some people did not feel it......
