46. Uncle Xie Fang's resignation
Hundreds of officials talked about it, and even some of them were full of mourning, before today, even if they were asked to come up with a hundred possibilities, there would definitely be no Zhao Mengqi leading the way.
On the examiner's seat, Ding Daquan's face was the most ugly, originally, his biggest task today was to prevent Zhao Mengqi from being brilliant, followed by supporting Zhao Mengguan to take the position, but none of the goals were achieved, he could already feel Yan Guifei's monstrous anger.
Wu Yan is also disappointed, and he is very happy, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that he is still the biggest beneficiary of this incident, not only has he become famous and in the limelight, but his promotion and promotion are also real, as the actual boss of Yushitai, this is enough to comfort.
Yang Dong and Ye Mengding are both sincerely happy, their students have changed from Adou, who can't be supported, to a miracle boy, not only stabilizing the storage position, but also amazing the officials.
Ma Guangzu, Dong Huai, and Cheng Yuanfeng, the three important ministers, from the perspective of the society and the country, are also happy to see the current results.
As for Prime Minister Xie Fangshu, his expression at the moment is extremely complicated, and the matter of Yi Chu was picked up by him and led by hundreds of officials, but in the end, it was such a result, which is not only a political failure, but also a great stain in his life.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the political struggle failed, even if he stepped down and was driven to a small place to be an official, it was actually not terrible, and he could still return to the center if he found the right opportunity.
But if the reputation is bad, especially if you offend the successor to power, the future days are destined to be dark, but fortunately, there is generally no worry about your life.
"Thank you, it's time for you to announce the final results of today's trial." Cheng Yuanfeng interrupted Uncle Xie Fang's thoughts.
Everything has to have a beginning and an end, so Uncle Xie Fang had to cheer up and let the examination room be removed, and the hundred officials stood up one by one according to the shift of the court meeting, and the five candidates were taken out of the main hall.
When order was restored, Uncle Xie walked out of the train and came to the front of the jade steps, holding a wat board to play.
"Your Majesty, the minister is ordered to preside over the re-election of the prince, today's results of Group E have been decided, the best one is Zhao Mengqi, followed by Zhao Heyun, again Zhao Menghao and Zhao Mengguan are tied, and finally Zhao Mengxi, according to the charter, Your Majesty can choose one or two clans, and then compete with the other four groups, please ask Your Majesty to show down."
According to the original plan, although the rankings are ranked, it is up to the officials to decide who to choose, on the bright side, even if the officials choose the last place, it is okay, as for whether it can be implemented, it depends on whether the hundred officials will come out to correct it.
If the official family finally picks Zhao Mengguan, it is estimated that most officials will acquiesce, or even praise it loudly.
But how could the Zhao official family satisfy such a dream of theirs.
At this moment, the Zhao official family on the throne was radiant, looking like he was more than ten years younger, his iconic big forehead was shining, his golden mouth was open, and his royal voice was loud.
"Xie Qing has worked hard, I am very satisfied with today's trial, I am very satisfied with the six arts, the intention is very good, Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, I am the future king of the Great Song Dynasty, it should be in line with the way of the gentleman."
In a word, this competition is qualitative.
"Zhao Mengqi stands out, and his achievements are obvious to all, so no one will question it."
Zhao Guanjia deliberately paused, but there were no people in the hall who dared to refer to the deer as a horse.
"The prince, since the best choice, I think Zhao Mengqi is very good, and there is no need to choose more, during this time, for the matter of the prince, the government and the opposition have been disturbed, and many state affairs and government affairs have been delayed, so I feel that there is no need to compare with other groups, first, the prince is too young, not the blessing of the country, and second, I can't find a better and more suitable candidate than Zhao Mengqi, what do you think?"
Hearing that Zhao Guanjia wanted to omit all the other trials, some of the officials naturally wanted to come out and oppose it.
However, Uncle Xie Fang didn't give them a chance, "The ministers are in order!" ”
At this moment, he just wants to end this 'farce' as soon as possible.
The performance of Uncle Xie Fang's interest made the Zhao Guanjia feel a little less disgusted with him, and then continued, "Since this is the case, this matter has been decided, where are the people in the middle school?" ”
"Minister Mu Zicai, wait for the order."
"Intended purpose, the prince Zhao Yu, the Japanese table Yingqi, the talent of the pure beauty, the way of the gentleman, and the civil and military qualifications, when only diligent, forever with the heir training, hereby add the same level of affairs, line Lin'an Mansion Yin! Fengwang, Shuo Dynasty, listen to the government in front of the emperor. ”
Zhao Yu is the official name of Zhao Mengqi, with a strong sense of prince, and the holy decree is serious, so he has to use this name, and finally the two official positions that he was sealed, although they are fictitious titles, are to further determine his status as a prince, and it is almost the official canonization of the prince.
Zhongshu Sheren Mu Zicai bowed down to receive the order, "The minister is ordered." ”
Then the hundred officials also bowed, "The ministers are ordered." ”
It's just the drafting stage, and there are still a bunch of processes to go behind, but now that all the officials are here, if no one picks on it now, there will be no reason to jump out and oppose it later.
This also means that the political demands of the hundred officials to replace the imperial prince have completely failed and lost completely.
Just when everyone thought that it was okay and the Zhao official family was about to announce their retirement from the dynasty, Uncle Xie Fang bowed again, "The minister has a performance, please let Your Majesty accept it." ”
"What else is going on with Xie Qing? Come. "Zhao Guanjia is a little strange.
"The humble body of the minister, the humble talent, but by His Majesty's trust, with the trust of state affairs, stealing the phase,......, but recently the health is quite poor, often dizzy, there are many carelessness, there is a lot of trust from Your Majesty, I hereby resign, I hope Your Majesty will allow it."
Uncle Xie Fang said a lot, the core meaning is that I am sick and unable to bear the job, so I want to resign.
At this point, even if he doesn't resign, someone will soon impeach him, and instead of waiting for others to catch up, it is better to take the initiative and save a little face.
Baiguan was shocked at first when he saw Uncle Xie Fang's sudden resignation, and immediately reacted, political disputes are like this, and if they fail, they have to bear the consequences.
Uncle Xie Fang, as the prime minister, also has a group of loyal younger brothers, and he definitely doesn't want him to go into the wilderness, and emotionally wants to persuade him, the timing of this occasion is not right, and reason also tells them that this matter may be difficult to turn around, the most practical thing is to think about how to go in the future, so they are silent.
Some ministers began to realize that they were likely to be liquidated afterwards, and they were all panicked, and they all watched nervously at the reaction of the officials.
