Chapter 198: Shang Shuling's Candidate List
Once he serves as Shang Shuling, it will be a real soaring of 90,000 miles, not the prime minister or even the prime minister.
The petty officials of various ministries kept writing and reporting, and after a while, the report was finally completed.
"Zhu Qing has worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, and this palace is very relieved." After listening to the report, Wu Meiniang spoke majestically.
She is only ruling on behalf of the Son of Heaven now, and her actual identity is still the master of the harem, so she is not wearing a Ming Huang Palace skirt, but a Xia dress, which is peerless.
Wu Meiniang looked around at the ministers, and the ministers were quiet, they understood that the Empress Wu was going to mention the matter of Shang Shuling.
"Zhongshu is the central department of the Tang Dynasty, each performing its own duties and maintaining the peace of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhongshu Ling Laiji is even more laborious, leading Zhongshu Province, working hard for Zhongshu Province, and governing well.
On the other hand, in Shangshu Province, in the past year, there have been repeated mistakes in various ministries!"
Wu Meiniang handed the great eunuch in front of the palace a notebook, which was a brief description of the affairs of Shangshu Province in the past year, and then she slowly spoke:
"In order to coordinate the various ministries of Shangshu Province and improve the efficiency of work, the palace and the emperor have decided to reset the position of Shangshu Ling above the six departments of Shangshu Province!"
She looked around at the ministers and said with a charitable smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, for the position of Shang Shuling, is there anyone in your heart who wants to recommend?"
Although the ministers had already received the news, they were still shocked when they heard the Empress Wu personally mention Shang Shuling.
The noise and discussion gradually rose, and many ministers looked thoughtful, Wu Meiniang just looked at everyone kindly, as if waiting for the ministers' opinions.
But the ministers only thought, and no one spoke.
Dali from Wupin is a young man in his early thirties, he seems to be thinking, but in fact, he has already received a greeting from Dali Temple, and wants to recommend Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
He straightened out his clothes that were not messy, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Dali Siqing on the side.
"Are you stupid? Empress Wu seems to be asking for our opinions, but doesn't she really want to listen to us first?" Dali Siqing looks like he hates iron and steel, and he wants to recommend it, but also in the case of the first candidate proposed by the martial queen.
Dali was frozen in place, and his heart was thrilling, although he was an official from Wupin, but only because of the Dali Temple, he didn't have much experience as an official.
"Since you Aiqing haven't discussed the candidates yet, let's list a few candidates for your Aiqing's reference." Wu Meiniang's eyebrows were picturesque, her bearing was majestic, and she slowly spit out a few names:
"The Ministry of Officials is still like the sea.
Household Department Shangshu Feng Yuncai.
Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
and, Secretary and Supervisor Zhao Wujiang!"
As soon as the words fell, the ministers talked about it.
"Is Shang Shuling promoted in Shangshu Province? Well, it's reasonable, after all, I am familiar with all the things of the six ministries, and it is convenient to act after taking office."
"Indeed, you see that the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household are the two strongest departments in Shangshu Province, and Lin Ruhai and Feng Yuncai, the two Shangshu, are among the candidates, which is not a surprise to this official."
"As for Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how to say it, he is an old minister after all, he has rich experience as an official, and he is smooth and decent, if he takes up the post of Shangshu Ling, he should be able to make a difference in coordinating the relationship between various ministries and the efficiency of work."
"But why is there still a secretary and supervisor Zhao Wujiang?"
"Huh? And Zhao Wujiang, Lord Zhao? How is that possible?"
"Didn't you hear what the mother said at the end? and Secretary and Supervisor Zhao Wujiang!"
"This... Why is Lord Zhao on the list? Wait a minute! The official knows..."
「......」
Some old ministers who have been officials for many years have already seen Wu Meiniang's intentions, and the first three Shangshu are all disguises, just to bring out the last secretary and supervisor Zhao Wujiang.
Zhao Wujiang's name is too abrupt, Shangshu Province elected Shangshu Ling, you can also intervene as a secretary and supervisor?
But since Empress Wu opened his mouth like this, the intention came out, Zhao Wujiang's name was abrupt, but the candidate in Empress Wu's heart was Zhao Wujiang.
There was an eerie silence among the ministers, no one spoke for a while, and no one wanted to be the first to offend the martial queen.
Dali Temple Qing Hou Shanye and Xu Jingzong's faces were not good-looking, Hou Shanye's eyes rolled, he didn't want to be the first to offend Empress Wu, so he had to think of a way.
Xu Jingzong's eyes flickered coldly, and at the same time, he had doubts in his heart, he gradually had a guess in his heart, could it be that Empress Wu was building momentum for me?
Empress Wu has valued me recently, and has a good conversation with me on political affairs, but she can't directly name me as the Shangshu Ling, and I'm worried that the rest of Shangshu won't accept me, so Wuhou came to such a hand...
The more Xu Jingzong thought about it, the more he felt that his analysis was reasonable, and he was elected from the four Shangshu Ling, so he would show a message to the other ministers, that is, he, Xu Jingzong, was the one who overwhelmed the two Shangshu and the secretary and supervisor, so that his power would be more solid in the future, and no one would dare to covet it easily.
It turns out that this is the good intentions of the Empress Wu, and it seems that my recent greeting has been fruitful...... Xu Jingzong's eyes were full of smiles, he looked around at the ministers, and said silently, you won't understand what kind of backing I Xu Jingzong has.
Immediately, Xu Jingzong's eyes signaled to Hou Shanye of Dali Temple, indicating that he could recommend himself.
Hou Shanye of Dali Temple pushed Dali Zheng beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Quickly stand up and promote Lord Xu."
Dali was hurriedly out of the ranks, and his heart said that it was time for him to behave himself, and he would definitely leave a good impression in front of Lord Xu.
He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Empress Qiyu, Weichen thinks that the position of Shang Shuling belongs to Lord Xu of the Ministry of Etiquette."
As soon as Dali said this, the ministers looked at Dali Zheng like fools, you are all from the official of the fifth grade, can't you still see that the candidate in the heart of the Empress Wu is Zhao Wujiang?
"Oh? Why does Aiqing think that the position of Shang Shuling is not the official book of the Ministry of Etiquette?" Wu Meiniang smiled kindly, and couldn't see more of her expression clearly.
"Master Xu is approachable, and he is even more talented and knowledgeable, although he has not been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for a short time, everyone in the Ministry of Rites admires him." Dali said loudly, seeing Xu Jingzong's encouraging smile, he searched his stomach to find some words of praise:
"And, Lord Xu has a lot of good relationships on weekdays, and he is in ......."
"Hmph, this official has a different opinion!"
Lin Ruhai, the secretary of the ministry, stood out of the queue and directly interrupted Dali Zheng's words.
Seeing that someone directly interrupted his speech, Dali was angry and found that it was the official book, and he was immediately deflated, but he relied on the presence of Dali Temple beside him, and said coldly:
"Lord Lin, you're on the list, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to recommend yourself, right?"
There are ministers who nod, indeed, since they are on the list, they can't recommend themselves, this is the default rule.
Lin Ruhai, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, snorted coldly, and he said in a deep voice:
"Who told you that the official is going to recommend himself?"
He looked down on everyone, as early as after the luncheon in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, he already had the idea of recommending Zhao Wujiang as Shangshuling, so as to befriend Zhao Wujiang.
He will not forget the memory picture he saw, only by befriending Zhao Wujiang can he ascend to a higher official position.
"The person this official wants to recommend is the secretary and supervisor Zhao Wujiang Zhao!"
