In the Daming Palace, the officials stood in place left and right, and were in a dilemma.

And Li Mao sat on the dragon chair, her expression indescribably playful.

All the officials are waiting for someone to dare to stand up and speak.

At present, it is no longer a matter of supporting Li Mao's rebellion and ascension to the throne, but a game between imperial power and vassal power.

The representative of the courtier's authority is the prime minister.

The prime minister, the son of heaven and the son of heaven manage yin and yang, shun the four times, and cultivate all things appropriately, the outer suppression of the four princes, and the inner relatives are attached to the people, so that the secretary and the doctor can each have their duties.

Now the emperor is short of money, so he has put his mind on the hundred officials.

This was unacceptable to none of the officials present.

Afraid that one day in the future, the emperor will be short of money again, so he fabricated charges again and raided their house.

Li Linfu felt like a pinprick in his back, knowing that all the officials in the palace were focused on him.

But he can't come up with a solution now, and he doesn't dare to argue with Li Mao.

simply looked at the nose and the nose, and put on a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

The officials had no choice but to turn their attention to Xiao Song.

The result, of course, was ineffective.

Xiao Song came to the palace early in the morning to surrender, how could he disobey the emperor because of this matter?

All the officials missed Zhang Jiuling's time in the court.

"Your Majesty, do you remember Zhang Jiuling?"

At this time, a dignified young man dressed in an eight-rank official uniform walked out of the queue and came to the center of the main hall.

Li Mao nodded slightly.

Of course, he knows Zhang Jiuling, a sentence "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time".

The people of the future generations can be said to know it.

Even the original owner has a deep memory of Zhang Jiuling.

This person can be said to be the political enemy of the original owner, and has been preventing him from ascending to the throne of the crown prince.

Li Mao didn't know what this person meant, so he asked.

"Who are you? What is his position? ”

"Mr. Zhang should have arrived in Jingzhou at this time, right? What do you mean by him? ”

Because of different political views, Li Mao did not plan to summon Zhang Jiuling back to the court.

So the tone of the mouth is all questioning.

When the other officials heard this, they thought that the young man was going to be unlucky, and they all showed disdain, and one of them even walked out of the queue.

This person is the imperial historian Li Shizhi.

"Zhou Ziliang, shouldn't you be exiled to Yingzhou (now the border area of Guangxi)?"

"You have been cut down from your position as a citizen, what qualifications do you have to rank above the court?"

Then, Li Shizhi turned his head to Li Mao and said, "Your Majesty, please drive this person out of the palace as soon as possible!" ”

About this person.

Li Mao had no impression, but knew from the memories he received that this person was Li Longji's confidant and the grandson of Li Chengqian.

However, Li Mao really didn't like Li Shizhi daring to interrupt with words.

So he said coldly, "Let him finish." ”

Zhou Ziliang had no fear on his face.

first made a gesture to Li Mao, and then began to talk eloquently.

"Minister Zhou Ziliang, once supervised the imperial history."

"Before, the cattle cyclamen was indiscriminately in phase, and it was not in line with the system."

"The minister admonished the first emperor, and reprimanded the imperial historian Li Shizhi for sitting and watching the matter, and the corpse was vegetarian."

"As a result, the former emperor was old and faint, listened to the slander of the imperial historian, imposed a court staff on the courtiers in the court, took away the official positions of the ministers, and exiled them to Yingzhou."

"Zhang Xianggong is a minister in the middle of the micro-end, and he is outspoken, loyal, dutiful, and impartial, and he is really a good minister of the society!"

"If Your Majesty can summon Zhang Xianggong back to the court, even if he exiles his ministers in the land of Anxi, the ministers will have no regrets!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Ziliang knelt directly in the center of the hall.

After Li Mao listened, he only felt that this person was a stunned young man.

No wonder he was exiled thousands of miles by Li Longji.

Zhou Ziliang is just a small eight-rank inspector of the imperial history, and he actually dared to directly denounce the mistakes of the imperial historian at the court meeting.

You must know that the Imperial Doctor is a third-grade official position, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and rectifying discipline.

However, this week is not useless.

With his stunned energy, it is indeed very suitable to be responsible for supervising hundreds of officials.

Zhang Jiuling is also worthy of being the prime minister, and he really has the wisdom to know people.

Thinking of this, Li Mao said aloud to the officials below.

"Zhou Ziliang, I see that you are still a talent. It's a waste to be the superintendent of the imperial history, so you should be the middle of the imperial history! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the palace looked incredulous.

This week, Ziliang actually jumped down and was promoted from the eighth-rank official position to the fifth-grade official position.

However, the matter that the emperor was short of money to ask the officials to get just now was still deeply in their minds.

None of the officials dared to speak out against each other.

I was afraid that the emperor would think about himself when he was short of money.

Seeing that no one objected to the personnel order he had proposed for the first time, Li Mao was very happy in his heart and continued.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang is not in good health, and I don't know if he can withstand the long journey?"

"Otherwise, you should first repair a book and ask Mr. Zhang about his physical condition."

This is actually a tactful refusal.

If the emperor really wants any minister to be the prime minister, he will directly issue an order.

The minister can't accept it at the first time, and he needs to ask for three resignations.

Now Li Mao sent someone to ask Zhang Jiuling if he was in good health and if he could still move.

How does this make Zhang Jiuling answer?

Can he still say that he is in good health, and he will have no problem working for another ten years?

The officials in the world didn't know how to laugh at him that day!

History books will also record Zhang Jiuling as a person who is greedy for power.

Zhou Ziliang also knows this truth.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three muffled sounds, resounding through the Daming Palace.

The people in the hall felt a headache just by hearing the voice, as if their own heads had hit the pillars.

Zhou Ziliang raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers will never dare to accept it!" ”

"Zhongshu Ling Li Linfu, a cunning villain!"

"Xiao Song, the right prime minister of Shangshu, is also a vegetarian eater!"

"In these troubled times, Zhang Xianggong is the one who stabilizes the country."

"Your Majesty should immediately issue an edict and quickly invite Zhang Xiang to return to the court and preside over political affairs."

After Zhou Ziliang finished speaking, he fell directly to the ground.

If the emperor does not agree, he will not rise up.

Li Mao finally understood why the emperor liked treacherous villains.

Like Li Linfu, he will never oppose him.

Zhao Gao is the same, he didn't dare to shake his face when he was scolded.

And people like Zhou Ziliang really don't know how to be flexible at all, and it is estimated that Hai Rui in later generations will be like this.

Alas!

Looking at Zhou Ziliang, who was already bleeding, Li Mao sighed secretly.

"It is proposed to move Shi Zhang Jiuling, the governor of Jingzhou Prefecture, to be the left prime minister of Shangshu Province and participate in political affairs."

In the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister was equivalent to the current cabinet minister, and many people could serve at the same time.

Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu Ling, and the servant under the door can all be called prime ministers.

However, in order to have actual power, it is necessary to add "participation in political affairs" to be effective.

If the rank of the official is not enough, it is also necessary to add "three products under the door of the same book" and "flat chapter matter under the door of the same book" to be regarded as the prime minister.

At this time, Zhang Jiuling was promoted to the prime minister of Shangshu Zuo, and his official rank was enough, so he only needed to add the title of "Participating in Political Affairs".
