Wang Xuan really sent someone to verify, it was not a verbal threat, and the current situation of Jixiang was no longer suitable for Taoguang to raise obscurity, what was needed was the resoluteness and unyielding in the first war of Dongshan Pass, and the domineering spirit that everyone in the world should take seriously.

As the incident of the second prince slowly fades away, the few territories that are still resisting now will give in sooner or later, but the difference is just how much they price. This is the voice of both sides, just give a suitable honorary position to retire, and the lord who still wants to be a secession will not be, this is not in the ambition of the eldest prince.

Zhao Sheng's funeral was very simple, but the specifications were extremely high.

Wang Xuan gave Zhao Sheng a gift of filial piety with his son and nephew, and after the news came out, it caused a great sensation in the entire Great Xia, some people thought it was a show, and some people thought it was due to true feelings.

This phenomenon is extremely rare, and many people don't quite understand that the aristocratic lords, as the masters, actually give their retainers filial piety to their juniors, which is unprecedented. At the same time, it also aroused the unanimous indignation of the nobles of Great Xia, who believed that Wang Xuan had broken the rules and lost the face of the nobles, which directly led to the bad external environment of auspiciousness.

The ability to treat this matter is slightly better, Zhao Sheng's family is working hard for the Wang family, and it is even more important when Wang Xuan succeeded to the throne at a young age, stabilizing the territory of the general, Wang Xuan's treatment is also a manifestation of affection and righteousness, which is an affirmation of Zhao Sheng's conscientious and diligent political affairs over the years, but has become a model for monarchs and ministers.

What do you desire the most? Isn't it just that the monarch and the minister are suitable, you give me trust and power, and I will give you a pure land. Some capable but not reused talents began to march towards auspiciousness, good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the master to do things, who can refuse this temptation.

Zhao Sheng's cemetery was chosen at the foot of the northwest mountain, where Wang Xuan's relatives were buried, and it was also the place where Zhao Sheng's contemporaries were buried. The north side of the cemetery is under the jurisdiction of the military department, and the south side is a coal mining area, with an area of more than 10,000 acres.

On November 3, the coffin made of rosewood was slowly put into the coffin, and then the coffin was lifted into the cement concrete tomb for burial. The whole tomb is a miniature version of the courtyard building, and there is no shortage of courtyard walls, mountains and lakes. The funeral goods are all auspicious industrial products, including mirrors, perfumes, soaps, mosquito coils, swords, gold coins minted of gold carriages, etc., extremely luxurious, Wang Xuan's grandfather's tomb is not treated like this, so many people called for the rebuilding of the Wang clan cemetery, Wang Xuan had to agree, said that it would be built on a later date.

On the day of the burial, many people spontaneously came to see off their first prime minister on the last journey, Zhao Shengzhong's honest image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Zhao Sheng's exemplary and pragmatic style of action was inseparable.

At noon, the tomb began to fill in, and finally the rectangular cemetery of about 100 square meters was about two feet above the ground, also made of cement ash concrete, and the top was designed to be curved to facilitate drainage. In front of the tomb, there is a stone tablet one zhang high, three feet wide and one foot thick, which is engraved with Zhao Sheng's ordinary and great life written by Wang Xuan.

These are all designs from Wang Xuan, and Aunt Liu's family is both moved and grateful. Outsiders think that with these endorsements for the Zhao family, Zhao Sheng is estimated to wake up laughing when he knows it, and this scene has also been repeatedly figured out by everyone in the auspicious officialdom, and the work efficiency has improved a lot.

The No. 1 villa assigned to Zhao Sheng by the Wang family must be taken back according to the rules, otherwise a few new villas will be built in the next term, and no matter how much land there is, it will be completed one day. However, Wang Xuan let Aunt Liu's family continue to live here, and renamed it 'Zero' residence, and for a time the Zhao family became the object of the eyes of many politicians, and also laid the foundation of the auspicious first family, which is a later story.

Four ministers of state participated in the funeral, and now Wang Xuan has to consider the appointment of a new prime minister, and at the same time, he needs to replace a secretary of state, which is not a trivial matter.

On the 5th, the No. 1 conference room of the Government Council.

A total of 16 people, including 11 ministerial-level cadres, including the minister of justice and the minister of communications, four ministers of state, and Wang Yu, a representative of the Ministry of Justice, attended the meeting.

"Premier Zhao Sheng passed away due to illness, and I share the grief in my heart like all of you, but we must not slack off in government affairs, and the first item on the agenda of today's meeting is to determine the candidate for the new prime minister. Wang Xuan made a brief beginning.

If nothing else, the prime minister will be produced among the four ministers, if there is no accident, the prime minister will be produced among the four of them, if this is the case, there will be a vacancy for the state minister, if nothing else, this place will be produced among these ministers, Wang Yu is just a witness on behalf of the military, and will not run for election. In this way, everyone's hearts are hot, who will be an official who will be afraid of being an official? Besides, if the speed of development continues at this auspicious rate, some officials who seem to be the size of sesame mung beans will have terrible power.

"Ministry of Justice, I have approved the "Election Measures for Auspicious Government Officials", and this election will be carried out according to this process, and I will not designate the second prime minister. Wang Xuan said to Sun Yufei, Minister of Justice.

"Yes, according to the provisions of the election law, auspicious government officials are the lord's staff, and if the lord does not appoint a candidate for the position, he will enter the election process. Sun Yufei explained.

"Before leaving, Premier Zhao pointed out that Zhang Yun was temporarily in charge of the Government Council, and Zhang Yun has done the same in the past few days. I say this to let everyone put aside the influence of rumors, the mastermind behind the rebellion has not yet been identified, and everyone here is suspected except me, so we have to treat things differently, an election is an election, an arrest is an arrest, and there is no causal relationship between the two. Wang Xuan then also explained, since everyone is suspicious, no one should talk about rumors, otherwise there will be no three hundred taels of silver here.

Everyone moved, and at the same time envied Zhao Sheng fiercely, because of his last words, Zhang Yun miraculously cleared the suspicion, at least at the critical moment of the prime minister's election. Of course, if it is finally found out that he is the person behind the scenes, he will still be brought to justice, which is what Wang Xuan said about differential treatment.

"According to the requirements of the Election Law, the Prime Minister of the Territory will be elected from among the Councillors (Ministers), four, and you can vote for each other. Sun Yufei said.

At this time, each of them received a piece of paper with the names of the four people written on it, and whoever was elected was to draw a horizontal line under whose name, which was considered a type of secret ballot.

Liu Quan, Zhang Yun, Wang Zhi, and Zhao Xiaoshan are all likely to be elected, and the comparison is character and ability. Wang Xuan also knows that there are too many defects in this kind of election, whoever is popular and who can be a person will have the advantage, which matches the job requirements too low, and the most suitable person cannot be selected. But at present, it has to be like this, it is still the same sentence, the rice should be eaten in one bite, and the pots and pans will be ready before talking about cooking.

The final result was not what everyone expected, with Wang Xuan's "words first", Zhang Yun was elected as the second prime minister of Jixiang with three 'high votes'.

This made Zhang Yun stunned, he had not been quiet in the past few days, it was difficult to sleep at night, and the night accompanied by nightmares tortured him a lot. Now I see that everyone seems to have bad intentions towards him, always thinking about how everyone will talk about themselves behind their backs, and how they will slander themselves, like they have paranoia of being killed, and the whole person has been on the verge of madness.

Wang Xuan's words earlier made Zhang Yun feel relieved, at least the lord still trusted him in and out of his words, which was ten thousand times stronger than his explanation of a thousand sentences and ten thousand sentences. Now that he has been elected as the second prime minister, the great joy after the great sorrow has overwhelmed him and stood on the spot. Everyone also knew what was going on, so they left him alone and didn't disturb him.

"Now that Zhang Yun has been elected as the second premier for a four-year term, there is another vacancy in the political councilor. According to the Electoral Law, if the Lord does not appoint a candidate, he is elected from among the ministers. Sun Yufei said.

"I won't designate the candidates, do you four have any interesting candidates?" Wang Xuan asked the four members of the cabinet.

Zhang Yun was still sleepwalking, shaking his head mechanically, it was really not appropriate for him to express his opinion on this matter at this time.

Liu Quan's expression was a little lost, and he slowly shook his head.

Wang Zhi simply said that there was no request.

Zhao Xiaoshan also shook his head, what are you kidding, if the Lord doesn't choose you, you have someone to choose, you are more capable than the Lord?

"Then vote, each of the Cabinet will be counted as two votes, and the rest of the ministers will each be counted as one vote, and the highest vote will win. Sun Yufei said.

So each person received a piece of paper with the names of the eleven ministers, each person could choose three, and finally the total number of votes was counted, if the winner had the same number of votes, a second round of elections would be held, and if there was still a tie, Wang Xuan would appoint the candidate.

This time it was a little longer, and in the end, Sun Xing of the Ministry of Commerce was promoted to Minister of State by two votes, and the moment Wang Xuan announced the results, there was a wave of applause in the conference room, and the congratulations continued.

Sun Xing also believes that he is the most suitable candidate, Jixiang rose to prominence because of business, and as the first Minister of Commerce, he is the most conspicuous among the ministers in terms of contributions. For example, Xu Xian of the Ministry of Communications and Sun Yufei of the Ministry of Justice are still newcomers, and the Ministry of Justice is a new department independent of government affairs and is directly under the jurisdiction of the lord. Therefore, after thinking about it, he is all popular, and if he loses, he will doubt his life.

I want to think about it, but when good things really hit him, I was still shocked by a huge surprise. Although the difference between the minister and the secretary of state is only one level, it is a world of difference, just like the difference between a wife and a concubine, a president and a vice president, and a chairman and a general manager. The Minister is only responsible for special affairs, while the Minister of State is responsible for the affairs of the whole territory, although there is a division of labor, but it involves all aspects of the territory, which is the difference between the line and the surface, not to mention the promotion of status and treatment.

Sun Xing stumbled and delivered his acceptance speech, everyone coaxed him to treat him from time to time, Wang Xuan also showed a rare smile, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more intense.

"You are our youngest Minister of State, and from now on you will be in charge of commerce, publicity and foreign affairs, and hopefully you will be able to do as well in your new position as you did in the Ministry of Commerce. Wang Xuan encouraged Sun Xingdao.

"Be of good cheer, Lord, that you will live up to your trust. Sun Xing was still excited.

At this time, careful people found that Sun Xing had been promoted, so who would take over the post of the hot-after Minister of Commerce? This is the richest, most beautiful, and most easy to produce results, and Sun Xing in front of him is an example, otherwise how could he become one of the five most powerful people in Jixiang when he had just turned 30.

"The post of Minister of Commerce is temporarily held by Sun Xing, and the new Minister will be produced by open recruitment, and candidates need to pass the written test and interview before they can pass the test. Except for those who are directly appointed by me, the staff at the minister level and below will be evaluated in this way, and of course, you can also apply to participate in the assessment. Wang Xuanyu was not shocking, and it caused a thousand waves for a while.

Everyone sighed that auspiciousness is about to enter a new era, and none of the people here are mediocre people, so they naturally know what this means.

The selection of talents and talents is often used as the mantra of the nobles, but few people put it into action, and auspiciousness has opened a precedent again.

With such a lord who is willing to delegate power and value friendship, those who are interested in a career will also come to serve, what a prosperous scene it will be!

There are countless talents competing for each position the size of a sesame mung bean, and it is conceivable what terrifying height the quality of auspicious officialdom will reach, and under the leadership of these elites, auspicious will fly at what speed!
