Chapter 82: The Dust Settles
Lin Qian saw that Emperor Ren was very interested in his proposal, and after a little consideration, he said his thoughts, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Jingzhou Mu Liu Benchang has been in office for five years, and Jingzhou is also prosperous and stable under his governance, and if he is reappointed as Liang Zhou Mu, it will be regarded as a small improvement, and it will also test his ability again." ”
After a pause, Lin Qian continued, "As for Jingzhou Mu, Shen Sizheng in the capital is a good candidate, Shen Sizheng is young and promising, and he was personally promoted by His Majesty, so he can rest assured that he can use it." ”
Emperor Ren pinched his chin and thought about Lin Qian's proposal, "Aiqing's proposal is not bad, but Shen Li is not yet forty years old, will Ren Jingzhou's qualifications be shallow." ”
Lin Qian took Emperor Ren's words with a smile, "Your Majesty, according to the old minister, qualifications can be cultivated slowly, loyalty is the most important thing, Jia Wensong is senior enough, and his age is about to catch up with Lord Li, isn't it disappointing the imperial court?" Hehe~"
Hearing Lin Qian's words, Li Yi gritted his teeth and didn't let himself get angry, comparing himself with Jia Wensong, which clearly embarrassed him!
Zhou Shen and Guan Shirong also endured it and didn't laugh out loud.
Emperor Ren didn't have this concern, he laughed out loud, "What Lin Aiqing said makes sense, lack of ability can be cultivated, loyalty is the most important thing." ”
When the atmosphere eased, Emperor Ren's face also looked a lot better, "Then who is more suitable to take over the division of Lingyun City?" ”
The Si Zheng of the capital has always been appointed by the emperor himself, which has formed an unwritten rule, Lin Qian naturally did not dare to overstep his bounds, "This is going to be bothered by Your Majesty, and the old minister will really not be able to think of a suitable candidate for a while, hehe~"
Emperor Ren pointed at Lin Qian with a smile, "You, you, you, you're really an old fox, you don't care about Shen Li to me, in the end, let me worry about myself, oops, you're giving me a problem~hehehe~"
Of course, Lin Qian could see that Emperor Ren didn't blame him, "Your Majesty, don't blame, the old minister is also limited in energy, and he will be confused when it comes to a critical moment, it seems that he will have to eat more ginseng to make up for it in the future~hehe~"
Emperor Ren pretended to be angry and looked at Lin Qian, "Okay, you Lin Aiqing, I haven't said how to punish you, but you are asking me for ginseng in a different way, you old slippery head~"
Then he turned his head to Xiao Fu and said, "You also heard it, go back and ask the Tai Hospital to send Lin Aiqing a good ginseng, and he will talk about me when the time comes~"
Xiao Fu also smiled and agreed.
"Haha~" Lin Qian hurriedly got up and thanked him, "The old minister thanked Your Majesty, Your Majesty Shengming~"
"Exchange a ginseng for Lin Aiqing's sage, I am not a loss, haha~" Now that the candidate has been decided, Emperor Ren also relaxed his mood and took the initiative to make a joke.
One sentence made everyone laugh, and even Li Yi, the secretary of the Ministry who was still pale just now, laughed, as if he had forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and also forgot that Emperor Ren didn't even look at the names of the two candidates he handed over.
The atmosphere completely became harmonious, and Emperor Ren looked at Xiao Zheng next to him, "Prince, who do you think is better to be the chief of the capital?" ”
Xiao Zheng didn't expect Emperor Ren to suddenly ask him this question, when he was in Anren Palace before, he let him easily not express his opinion, why did he ask the question of his own candidate now? He couldn't guess Emperor Ren's thoughts for a while, "Father, the sons are not very familiar with the officials of the imperial court, and they can't think of a suitable candidate for a while. ”
Emperor Ren seemed to have known that he was going to answer like this, and waved his hand, "It's okay, the candidate for the chief of the capital can be considered slowly, I don't want to spend this brain, Lin Aiqing wants to be lazy, I am also lazy, you can observe and observe first, and then it's not too late to let him take office when there is a suitable candidate, with Shen Li's remaining manpower, the capital can't be chaotic." ”
Xiao Zheng didn't come back to his senses, but the old foxes present understood His Majesty's meaning, Emperor Ren was going to pave the way for the prince, and they all greeted Xiao Zheng with a smile, "Your Highness, don't think about being lazy, otherwise if you turn back, the old minister will hurt~hahaha~"
Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head, which was in response to the jokes of these old ministers.
Emperor Ren didn't let him go, "You are really cunning and cunning, you are so arrogant if you want to be lazy!" ”
Ignoring everyone's jokes, Emperor Ren put away the smile on his face, "The candidate question has been decided, let's talk about rewards and punishments, the household department has been providing disaster relief for nearly two years, but in the end, it was the criminal department that the secret agents found out that it was wrong, the officials sent by the previous officials and the household department all went to Liangzhou for sightseeing, and those officials who were sent to Liangzhou in the past two years were all listed and asked one by one to see if they were blind or corrupted by the rats like Jia Wensong!" Once the problem is found, it will be dealt with together with the Liangzhou officials who were escorted to Beijing this time, and will not be tolerated. ”
Xiao Zheng hadn't yet adapted to Emperor Ren's sudden change, and the four people on the seat were already standing together, with serious faces, "The ministers must strictly investigate them, and never let go of any corrupt elements!" ”
Hearing the stern words of the four people, Emperor Ren's face became gentle again, "Ai Qing~"
Guan Shirong immediately agreed, "The minister is here~"
Emperor Ren smiled and asked him to sit down, "Don't be so nervous~ Sit down, fortunately, this incident was discovered by the Criminal Department in time, and it can be regarded as a successful remedy, otherwise I don't know what will happen!" ”
"It's all Your Majesty's blessings, and Weichen doesn't dare to take credit~"
"Aiqing doesn't have to be too humble, if you have a fault, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, this time there is no public resentment, the credit of the criminal department is not small, the pension of the dead and injured agents of the criminal department must be arranged, ten times the placement, don't be stingy, just get out of the stolen money of these rats!"
Guan Shirong's eyes were red with emotion, "Your Majesty Shengming, thank your Majesty Longen on behalf of their families!" ”
Hearing Emperor Ren's words, Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes, he remembered Wu Feng of the Criminal Department, "Father, this time the Criminal Department has indeed made a lot of meritorious contributions, Erchen thought about it just now, and felt that Wu Feng of the Criminal Department Langzhong could take up the post of the head of the capital as a reward." ”
When the four people in the audience heard Xiao Zheng's words, their eyes were all wide, and even Lin Xiangguo, who had always been very deep in the city, showed a shocked expression, he thought about the words mentioned in Lu Qu's letter to him that the prince appreciated Wu Feng a lot, and became indifferent again.
The other three lowered their heads, some were jealous, some secretly scolded, and some were puzzled, secretly thinking that Wu Feng was really fucking shit luck, and the prince was raising the capital Sizheng, this is the rhythm of one step to the sky!
Emperor Ren didn't say much, he knew that Xiao Zheng didn't know much about the people in the court in front of him, and his confidants were also limited, Wu Feng should have left a good impression on him in Liangzhou, and it was not impossible to let him be the head of the capital, "Have you thought clearly?" Although Wu Feng should be rewarded, it is a big span from Langzhong of the Criminal Department to Si Zheng, who is responsible for the stability of the capital. ”
Since it was proposed, Xiao Zheng did not hesitate any longer, "Father, Erchen thinks that what Lin Xiang said is very good, the ability is not enough to cultivate, loyalty is the most difficult to distinguish, this time Wu Feng risked being killed to send information to the imperial court, has proved his loyalty, just rush him for this loyalty, the stability of the capital should be handed over to him, and Erchen also believes that he will not let Erchen down!" ”
Emperor Ren nodded with satisfaction to Xiao Zheng, "Okay!" I'm right! ”
