Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Lord Lu Buyun has a lot of hatred for this matter, because he has just taken office as Shangshu, and there is a major event about the appointment of important officials in a state, but he doesn't know it, how can he not be angry." Therefore, a few days ago, I sent someone to send a letter to inquire about the vacancy of the general of Yunxi Prefecture, and he brought up the matter, so I thought about it for a while, and thought that it was very inappropriate for Longjin to make up for the lack of generals at this time, so that it was contempt for the Ministry of Officials, and in the future, the officials of Yunxi Prefecture would be promoted, and the Ministry of Officials would definitely make an obstacle from it. ”

Wang Hong listened to Sun Zhaoyuan's words, for fear that the matter of Longjin would not be properly handled, and it would also affect the minister's opinion of him, so that he could not be promoted to fill the vacancy, so he hurriedly gave his hand and said: "If the ministry has an opinion on this, the lower officials also think that this matter should not be filled by Longjin, even if we don't listen to Lord Sun's kind dissuasion and forcibly report the name of Longjin, it will be not allowed to come to the ministry. ”

With Wang Hong's head, others are not easy to object, and all officials think that Sun Zhaoyuan is reasonable, and his words are well-founded, at this time, if you want to stand up for Longjin, you can't fight for it, not only the governor of the first government does not approve, but the state government also thinks it is inappropriate, Yao Yungui is not good to fight anymore, so he said: "Who will make up for the lack of generals?" ”。

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "The intention of this official is to let Ma Rushan make up for it." ”

Yao Yungui said: "If it is made up by Ma Rushan, I am afraid that Master Ma has just come to Yunxi Prefecture, and he is not familiar with the affairs, and he has only been promoted to the position of deputy general, and he has only been in Luwei Mansion for two months, so he will be hurriedly promoted, is it too fast." ”

Jiang Chao echoed: "It is also a rare thing for ordinary officials to be promoted to a few levels, there are only a few cases in the country every year, the last time Jin Fei and Jiang Fugui were directly mentioned to the prefect and the position of the same governor, they all took a risk, and they wanted to come to the prefect and the same knowledge are things that can be agreed upon by the state officials, and they do not need to be reported to the imperial court for consideration. ”

Jiang Sheng also said: "Xia Guan has been in Yunxi Prefecture for ten years, and there is indeed no precedent for being quickly promoted to the senior member of the Zhou Mansion, I am afraid that if he acts like this, it is still a little unsafe." ”

Only Wang Hong did not say a word.

Sun Zhaoyuan had already thought that several people would refute it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lords, the position of general of Yunxi Prefecture has been vacant for half a year, and in the near future, I must report to the candidate of the imperial court, otherwise the officials will also inquire about this matter." Therefore, this official will read all the rosters of military attachés in this state, only Longjin and Ma Rushan can fill the vacancy, this official originally wanted to report according to you a few days ago, so that this Longjin can fill the vacancy, but I don't want to, there is such an accident, so it is really inappropriate to push Longjin to take up the post at this time, it is not that this official does not respect your colleagues. At this time, only this Ma Rushan is a suitable candidate, as for what the adults just said, it is indeed rare to be promoted a few levels in a row, but this Ma Rushan, following this official, broke the army of the king of Nanyu, recovered Jianzhou, and made great contributions. If you are still worried, you can see that the official will send the supplementary documents to the imperial court, and see the opinions of the imperial court, and if the imperial court is fierce and rejects it, then I will let others wait for the alternate general. It's just that the official also wants to come, and there is no one who can be substituted for the officials of this state, and the imperial court is expected to send people from other state capitals to fill the vacancy. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan has resolved all the predicaments in a few words: first, he Sun Zhaoyuan wanted to respect you and let Longjin fill the vacancy, but because you yourself offended the officials, so he Sun Zhaoyuan can only be weak, no wonder he, secondly, Ma Rushan's military achievements are great, and even if he is promoted to a few levels, there will be no dissatisfaction, and third, if these two people are not elected, the imperial court will send other officials to take up the post, neither your lineage nor my Sun Zhaoyuan's lineage, this fat water flows into the fields of outsiders, and it is not a good thing.

Yao Yungui and the others listened to it, and felt that Sun Zhaoyuan was reasonable, and they were afraid that this general position would be appointed by irrelevant people, and it would be useless for themselves and Sun Zhaoyuan, so it was better to push the boat down the river and do personal favors, and let Sun Zhaoyuan be appointed by Ma Rushan, which can be regarded as a beautiful thing.

Yao Yungui and the others said: "But listen to Governor Sun's words." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan pushed Ma Rushan to the high position of general.

However, two days, Yao Yungui ordered someone to send the document of electing Ma Rushan to fill the vacancy of the general to the ministry, and the ministry handled it very quickly, in accordance with the law of the imperial court, wrote the opinion that this move was very in line with the meaning of the ministry, and reported the matter to the imperial court, and Emperor Yan read it, and agreed to handle it in court.

After Ma Rushan became the general of Yunxi Prefecture, Jin Deha sent the document of appointing Wang Hong as the squire of the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Rites and asked the Holy Lord to deliberate.

However, the Ministry of Officials sent a document to Yunxi Prefecture to ask if Wang Hong was appointed as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who would make up for Wang Hong's vacancy.

Because it was just to ask for documents, when several senior officials of the state government discussed, they drew up several candidate names and submitted them to Sun Zhaoyuan for review, Sun Zhaoyuan looked at the roster, and said: "These people are also officials with outstanding political achievements and both ability and political integrity, so there is nothing wrong with reporting it like this, but this official wants to add another person's name to the top, I don't know if you have any opinions." ”

Wang Hong said: "If the governor wants to add a name, it is natural that this official is doing a good job, how can the lower officials have opinions." ”

The rest of the people all said, "Lord Sun, who is this person?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "It is Tan Jiaxing, the prefect of Ziyuan Mansion." ”

Because according to the law, the officials can ask the opinions of the states before Chen Zuo, so as to be a reference for the court to state their opinions, this time the officials only asked for opinions, and did not really want to determine the officials, everyone shook their heads and said: "I have no opinions, but I listen to Lord Sun's arrangement." ”

The document with the nomination of Tan Jiaxing and a group of officials was placed on the desk of Lu Buyun, the secretary of the ministry. According to the nomination of the officials of Yunxi Prefecture, the secretary of the ministry drafted the opinions of the court meeting, and discussed the matter of filling the vacancy in the court. Because the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is behind Jin Deha's support for the nomination of Wang Hong, the officials have exchanged news on this matter, so no one objected. Emperor Yan agreed to do so.

Lu Buyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, said: "What I have just discussed, the candidate for this Ministry of Rites has been decided, originally according to common sense, this vacancy after Wang Hong went to office, but there is no time, and when the officials earn political achievements, they will make up for the vacancies, but the officials want to come, and in a few months it will be the day of the big exam, or quickly let people make up for the lack of sacred learning, so that someone can do an errand for the big examination in a state." ”

Emperor Yan said: "Lord Lu's words are very agreeable, is there any candidate for the imperial court to deliberate?" ”

Lu Buyun handed over the list of nominated officials and said, "This list of officials is the list of vacancies recommended by the officials of the Yunxi Prefecture Prefecture for election. ”

Emperor Yan glanced at the roster, except for Tan Jiaxing, who was mentioned by Sun Zhaoyuan, a few people were still a little impressed, so he said, "Everyone, what do you think?" Hurry up. ”
