Chapter 512: What Do You Think?
However, Jing Yueshan recommended him.
This hot potato, by the prime minister's words, fluttered lightly on Xue Yiling's head, and suddenly, the hundred officials were very pleased.
It's good that it's not me. Pat your chest and go with the flow.
Xue Yiling is very innocent, he is a scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, and he was elected by the prime minister in this way.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Xue is the best candidate, Lord Xue is the new champion of our dynasty every four years, he is rich and knowledgeable, presumably, he will definitely come up with a better way to deal with the flood in Luoshui Town." An official stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, the ministers also think so." Another official said.
A leader threw the hot potato to the champion, and the other people began to coax and unanimously won the champion.
As the champion himself, Xue Yiling said that he was under a lot of pressure!
The Prime Minister, who has a very high status in the court, is almost above 10,000 people under one person, his power is also very strong, and he has many henchmen.
He recommended Xue Yiling, a substitute for the dead, who would not follow suit? Who would say that Lord Xue is not suitable?
"Xue Aiqing, what do you think?" The emperor looked at Xue Yiling in the crowd and asked him.
"Back to the emperor, the ministers ......" Xue Yiling stood up and faced the emperor, very respectful.
Refuse? How do I refuse? So many officials unanimously elected him, and the flood management in Luoshui Town is urgent, and so many refugees are homeless......
These pressures are all on Xue Yiling, how can he refuse?
Accept? He was a civil servant, and dealing with floods was not his forte.
"Xue Aiqing, Luoshui Town is flooding, and the people are struggling to make a living, I have appointed you as the minister of the Qincha, and I will set off to Luoshui Town on the same day to deal with the flood, and I will allocate 20,000 taels of silver from the imperial court to Luoshui Town for disaster relief." The emperor said that this matter was almost settled, regardless of whether Xue Yiling agreed or not.
"Chin this." These two words fell, falling from the emperor's mouth, which means that this matter is decided, and it can't be changed!
Can Xue Yiling refute it? To refute is to resist the decree, and to resist the decree is to die, to be executed on the spot!
"Minister, Commander." Xue Yiling bowed deeply to the people seated.
"Retreat." The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and walked aside, and the eunuch announced his retreat from the court, his voice was sharp and thin, but indifferent and ruthless.
"The ministers send the emperor to him." The officials bowed.
The emperor is gone, and the officials are going to disperse.
……
"Lord Xue, such an errand will fall on you, you can't live up to the emperor's expectations for you, and the expectations of so many refugees in Luoshui Town." An older generation official smiled and patted Xue Yiling on the shoulder.
Xue Yiling smiled bitterly at him and said nothing.
Since, no one spoke for him, all of them recommended him to go to the disaster area, and even gloated.
Xue Yiling is a champion, and the only champion who stays in the imperial court as an official, and the other champions have all gone to local officials.
And he proposed to Chen Qiao, the squire, a few days ago, to marry his righteous daughter Zifang, but long before that, the prime minister met with him and asked him to marry the prime minister's fourth daughter, Jing Qinghe, but Xue Yiling did not agree to the prime minister.
This seems to be very clear.
Xue Yiling offended Prime Minister Jing Yueshan, and Jing Yueshan recommended him to deal with the flood......
Jing Yueshan is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, he can run from a small official step by step to the position of the prime minister, the head of a hundred officials, which shows the depth of his scheming, how smart he is?
