"The queen mother thinks that who should fill the lack of the secretary of state in the current dynasty?"

Changle Palace, Changxin Palace.

asked with a wry smile, and Liu Ying's face couldn't help but be a little melancholy.

In the past few years, it can be regarded as the 'concentrated farewell' period of the founding fathers of the Han Dynasty;

- Among the three dukes, Prime Minister Cao Shen is seriously ill and bedridden, and he is about to die;

The position of the imperial historian has also been vacant since Cao Shen became the prime minister;

Tai Lieutenant, since the Marquis Zhou Bo 'sat on the edict', went to the Tingwei prison for a few days to experience the 'nobility of the jailer', and then he was never appointed.

Sangong is like this, Jiuqing, and it is not much better.

- The internal history of the Marquis of Anguo, who is about to replace Cao Shen, is about to succeed Cao Shen, and when the royal tomb is the phase, the internal history will be vacant;

Fengchang's uncle Sun Tong and Tingwei Jihou Gongshang have all died, and the post of Tingwei has been temporarily handed over to Liu Ze, the Marquis of Yingling, but the post of Fengchang has not yet been decided.

The position of Lang Zhongling was also restricted after Liu Ying's first Lang Zhongling: Jiancheng Hou Lu Shizhi was removed from office for crimes, and then he was coldly treated by Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying's mother and son;

Later, Lu Shizhi also died of old age and illness, and the position of Lang Zhongling has not been appointed so far.

Pawn Guangping Hou Xue Ou, the situation is similar to Cao Shenna, although he still holds the position of 'pawn guest', but he has been lying on the bed for several years, and his life is not long.

In addition, since the Han Dynasty, there has been an idle position of Zongzheng······

is full of calculations, and now in the Chang'an court, the three dukes, only Cao Shen, who is seriously ill and bedridden, is in office;

In Jiuqing, aside from the inner history of Wang Ling, who is about to become the prime minister, and the 'honorary guest' Xue Ou is not counted, there are only four people, such as the Taifu Ruyin Marquis Xiahou Ying, the Tingwei Yingling Marquis Liu Ze, the Shaofu Wuhou Yangchengyan, and the Weiwei Quzhou Marquis Shizi Liji.

There are a total of 12 positions in the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, but now only five of them are in office normally, and two of them are still breathing for 'honor in office', which obviously brings great obstacles to the daily operation of the court.

Here's a very simple example;

According to the usual practice, Jiuqing has the officials of the subordinate government to review, and the imperial historian is responsible for the subordinate office, which is specifically handled by the imperial historian, and the imperial historian himself is responsible for the audit results;

And now, in the case of the vacancy of the Imperial Historian, Jiuqing has the transfer of personnel from any department of the Division, and the Imperial History Zhongcheng can only hand over the audit results to the Prime Minister: whether the audit results are qualified or not, and whether this transfer will be approved or not.

But at the moment, the tomb of the Marquis of An Guo is holding the responsibility of internal history, and he is also taking into account the transfer of power from Cao Shen;

This will lead to a very magical scene that appears above the court.

- One day, Wang Ling found Yu Shi Zhongcheng as an internal historian and submitted an application for personnel transfer;

Then, according to the usual practice, the imperial historian verified the candidates proposed by the royal tomb and obtained the final result;

Then, Yu Shi Zhong was hindered by the vacancy of his immediate boss: Yu Shi Dafu, so he could only submit the personnel transfer application submitted by Wang Ling to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Then, the Inner History Wang Ling, who submitted this personnel transfer, approved the personnel transfer submitted by himself as a 'quasi-prime minister'······

Another example: Guanzhong should organize young people from good families to participate in the annual winter military training;

According to the usual practice, this military training needs to be submitted by the local county-level unit in Guanzhong, handled by the internal history, and finally decided by the Tai Lieutenant.

However, the vacancy of the lieutenant made this look so that the prime minister could only make a decision.

In this way, the magical scene appeared again.

——The local government submitted the winter training look, and Wang Ling, in his capacity as a historian, gave an opinion that it could be approved, and personally approved the winter training as a 'quasi-prime minister'.

That is to say, now above the court, especially the simultaneous vacancies of the three important positions, make the tomb of the Marquis of Anguo almost a combination of referees and athletes.

Of course, if that's all there is, that's fine.

- Prime Minister Cao Shen's illness is already useless;

At most, it will not be autumn and September, and Wang Ling, who now has both internal history and prime minister, can officially step down from the post of internal history and concentrate on being his prime minister.

But the crux of the matter is that this kind of magical scene of 'I approve of myself' will not only appear in Wang Ling.

Here's another example;

One day, the lieutenant in charge of guarding Chang'an reported his upcoming military transfer to Liu Ying, the son of heaven;

The military movement near Chang'an needs to be coordinated by the three generals of Zhonglang, Lang Zhongling, and Wei Wei.

In other words, the military movements carried out in the vicinity of Chang'an needed to be supervised by the immediate boss of General Zhonglang, Neishi, as well as Lang Zhongling and Wei Wei, the three Jiuqing, and carried out by the lieutenant who was directly responsible to Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven.

But at this time, the problem came again.

Lang Zhongling was vacant and the internal history of Wang Ling was busy handing over power, so the military transfer submitted by the lieutenant could only be supervised by Wei Wei Li Ji and carried out by the lieutenant.

This made the sensitive military move, which was supposed to be coordinated and supervised by the three Jiuqing, into a dangerous move supervised by Wei Wei alone.

So in this case, what kind of demonization scene will appear?

——In order to avoid the suspicion of 'ill intentions', Wei Wei Liji will take the initiative to give up his supervisory duties!

This military transfer, which took place in Chang'an, Kyoto, and was supposed to be supervised by a small half of the minister's team, was carried out by the lieutenant alone.

The originally foolproof supervision system disappeared in an instant because of Lang Zhongling's vacancy and internal history's multiple positions······

Similar examples are numerous in other subordinate offices;

Therefore, the appointment of the vacant post of the court minister has become a problem that Liu Ying urgently needs to solve.

And now, Changle Palace has returned to its former state, and Liu Ying is at a loss, so she naturally thinks of her omnipotent mother Lu Pheasant.

Compared with Liu Ying, Lu Pheasant and the current court, these ministers and officials are obviously earlier and have a more comprehensive understanding;

Even if her mother is unwilling to propose a candidate, then the candidate she proposes will be 'reviewed' by her mother, and Liu Ying is more confident.

Seeing Liu Ying ask like this, Lu Pheasant thought about it for a while, and then understood Liu Ying's thoughts.

But it's a pity that the 'retirement life experience voucher' that has lasted for more than two years has made the Empress Dowager, who was once a powerful court, no longer interested in meddling in court politics.

Shaking his head almost without any hesitation, Lu Pheasant lay down lazily on the couch, enjoying the coolness brought by the few maidservants behind him.

"I have been in the court for a long time, and I am not familiar with many of the ministers' officials;"

"The lack of a secretary of state is up to the emperor to judge his own ability, because he is appointed."

"If there is someone I know well, can I say yes or no?"

Seeing the old lady's posture of 'I will never go to work again', Liu Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head.

Taking a deep breath and lowering his head to think for a moment, Liu Yingcai finally put the general thoughts in his heart in front of his mother Lu Pheasant.

"Erchen thinks that Cao Xiang is seriously ill, and the Marquis of An Guo is about to be in the same position, and Qu Rebellion Marquis should also be recalled to Chang'an."

said something in a deep voice, and Liu Ying's face naturally took on a serious look that only appears when discussing government affairs.

The Marquis of Anguo succeeded Cao Shen as the prime minister, which was the last will of Emperor Taizu Gao before his death, and at the same time, it was also the choice of the current prime minister Cao Shen;

When putting forward the suggestion that 'Wang Ling can succeed me as the prime minister', Cao Shen also mentioned the 'supplementary clause' mentioned by Emperor Taizu Gao when he was dying.

- Wang Ling is a straight man, vigorous and resolute, but short of flexibility; Chen Ping is good at planning, but short at breaking, and he is sleek.

Wang Ling is the prime minister, and when Chen Ping is by his side, the two complement each other······

To put it bluntly, although Wang Ling has a level, his temperament is too straightforward, and he is likely to be a prime minister alone, and he is likely to not be able to handle interpersonal relationships well;

And Chen Ping is sleek, with Chen Ping on the side as Wang Ling's deputy, you can avoid Wang Ling from offending people, and eventually lead to 'the government decree does not go out of the Prime Minister's Mansion'.

In addition, although Chen Ping is also very talented, his political skills are a little immature, and although he has good ability in planning, he lacks decisiveness.

With Wang Ling by his side to demonstrate in person, Chen Ping can also grow up faster, and fortunately, in the future, he will succeed Wang Ling smoothly.

It's just that it is different from the original historical timeline: Chen Ping in this life, but as early as when Liu Yinggang inherited the throne, he was sent to Huainan Kingdom to Liu Ruyi, the king of Huainan, as a minister.

With Zhou Chang, Marquis of Fenyin, and Chen Ping, Marquis of Qu Rebellion, Liu Ying's 'treatment' specifications for his younger brother Liu Ruyi can also be regarded as quite high.

——Since the Han Dynasty, in addition to the current Huainan King Liu Ruyi, the only clan prince who is fortunate to have both the left and right Xiangguo is Liu Fei, the king of Qi who was Fu Kuan and Cao Shen a few years ago!

And now, Zhou Chang, the Marquis of Fenyin, the left minister of Huainan, has passed away, and Liu Ruyi's Huainan Kingdom is only Chen Ping alone.

If Chen Ping is recalled to Chang'an, then Liu Ying has to give his baby brother Liu Ruyi and find a 'suitable' Xiangguo.

This is obviously worse for Liu Ying, who is now worried about the lack of ministers.

But there is no way, even if Liu Ruyi finds another Xiangguo, Liu Ying, Chen Ping must be summoned back.

- What Emperor Taizu Gao said: Wang Ling and Chen Ping must partner as prime ministers.

"If the Marquis of Qu is summoned back to Chang'an, the minister of Huainan will need the emperor to plan again."

After thinking about it, her mother Lu Pheasant nodded lightly, and she could be regarded as deciding on the matter of the prime minister: after Cao Shen passed away, Wang Ling was the right prime minister and Chen Ping was the left prime minister.

In this way, another extremely difficult problem was placed in front of Liu Ying.

"Inner History ······"

"Alas~"

"I don't pick up the ·········"

With a long sigh full of sorrow, Liu Ying couldn't help but think to herself.

After this life, the six-year career of the emperor, especially the last three years of the completely independent real power emperor's career, Liu Ying has already had a very deep understanding of the political system of the Han family.

In today's system of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries of the Han Dynasty, the important bridge connecting the Three Princes and the Nine Princes is undoubtedly the internal history!

As the head of the Nine Qings, the scope of internal history covers almost all aspects such as civil, military, financial, and public security;

In Liu Ying's words, he is the prime minister, the prime minister of the world;

and Neishi is the prime minister of Guanzhong.

Such a vital position obviously puts forward extremely high requirements for the level of governance it holds;

Correspondingly, as long as you have the ability to play with internal history, even if you don't play with the Prime Minister's House, it will definitely not be much worse.

- Compared with Guanzhong under the control of Neishi, the 'world' that the prime minister needs to govern is actually more than the four counties of Longyou and Beidi, as well as Shang and Dai, outside Xiaoguan;

As for the vassal states of the Kanto region, they all now have complete autonomy and autonomy, and there is no need for the prime minister to worry about it at all.

Therefore, after so many years of practical experience, the Chang'an court has vaguely formed a rough 'official promotion route'.

started from the county guard, showed the level of governing the people, and then returned to Chang'an and served as Jiuqing;

After proving his political ability in Jiuqing's position, he should strive for a transfer to the post of internal history.

has done an internal history and has not made any mistakes in office, he can basically prove his ability, which is close to the level required to be a prime minister;

Therefore, after the internal history, he should serve as the imperial historian, continue to precipitate himself as the imperial historian's 'sub-prime minister', and finally, be promoted from the imperial historian to the prime minister.

To put it simply, it is to first do internal history to prove yourself, and then to be a doctor of imperial history to improve qualifications, and by the way, wait for the prime minister to die of old age, and eventually replace him.

Such a line of 'internal history-imperial historian-prime minister', or the unspoken political rule that non-internal history cannot be a royal historian, and non-imperial historian cannot be a prime minister, Liu Ying is still relatively recognized.

But then the problem arises.

Since the prime minister must have the experience of serving as the imperial historian, then, on the other hand, Liu Ying must be mentally prepared for 'this person is the next prime minister';

Further down: Since the imperial historian must have the experience of serving as the internal history, then when Liu Ying appoints the internal history, he must also be mentally prepared for 'this person is the next prime minister'.

In other words, at present, Liu Ying has determined that Wang Ling and Chen Ping will replace Cao Shen, and they will each become the left and right ministers;

According to his age, there is a high probability that Wang Ling will die of old age first, and then Chen Ping will be alone for a period of time.

At this moment, the imperial historian that Liu Ying wants to appoint will be the fifth Han minister to succeed Chen Ping after Chen Ping; Liu Ying's upcoming appointment will be the sixth prime minister.

This made Liu Ying feel embarrassed.

If it is just to choose the imperial history doctor or the internal history, it is not difficult for Liu Ying at all.

Internal history may be a little more difficult, requiring excellent ability;

But the Imperial Doctor~

I don't have my own job, and the affairs of the Imperial Historian are all thrown to the Imperial History, just go to the court every five days, and sing a counterpoint to the prime minister if there is nothing to do, who won't do this~

However, after the imperial historian brought the political label of 'the next prime minister' and the internal history brought the political label of 'the next prime minister', the appointment of these two positions needed Liu Ying's careful consideration.

- Before the death of Emperor Taizu Gao, Cao Shen was appointed to succeed Xiao He, and then Wang Ling and Chen Ping succeeded Cao Shen;

Who should be the prime minister after that, but only dropped a sentence 'What happened after Wang Ling and Chen Ping is not something I could predict'······

Therefore, Liu Ying next needs to choose the next term after Chen Ping and the next prime minister for the future Han family when Cao Shendu is still alive, Wang Ling is still in the internal history, and Chen Ping is still far away in Liuyi, the capital of Huainan Province.

is so important, and it is related to the appointment of Liu Han Sheji, Liu Ying urgently needs her mother Lu Pheasant to 'guide the maze'······
