Chapter 18: The benefits of each
"Ahem... Ahem..."
Zhao Wuyun cleared his throat, he was in his sixties, and he didn't see the old dragon clock, but he had a spirit and spirit, and his every move was like a tiger.
"Your Majesty, let's say a few words from the old minister, the household yamen is in charge of the money and grain of the imperial court, it can be said that the lifeblood of the world is the household department, Jiang Wenzhong has worked hard for the country for many years, and his achievements are also obvious to all, this time something happened to the household department, so that Jiang Wenzhong sued the old man, it is really a pity, but..."
The things in the world, the pit is on this but, no matter what was said before, as long as there is this but, it is worth pondering.
"To be a household secretary or a household servant, the first thing to consider is ability, especially the ability of the first financial department, otherwise there are so many household accounts, if there is no loyalty, even if you are a household secretary, you will not be able to manage such a large amount of wealth, as far as the current point of view, Wang Yuzhong's promotion to the household department has three benefits."
"First, Wang Yuzhong is in Ningde, so as not to make mistakes, and secondly, Wang Yuzhong has been the prefect of Kyoto for so many years, and Kyoto Prefecture has prospered in business under his governance. I would like to ask you, Wang Yuzhong has been an official in Beijing for many years, have you ever heard of him being corrupt and taking bribes? ”
Zuo Xiang raised a question, and immediately someone came out.
"I have never heard that this Wang Yuzhong is an honest man."
Zhao Wuyun said: "Yes, the head of the household department is in charge of the national finances, don't say that it is a book, even if it is a small master of the household department, you can make a lot of profits if you are greedy, only honest people can deserve the position of the head of the household department." ”
This is a silent statement, Zhao Wuyin did not say that Wang Yuzhong must be the head of the household department, but every word of people is saying that Wang Yuzhong is the head of the household department He supports it.
The reason why Zhao Wuyun didn't say it clearly was because the emperor had to open his mouth about this matter, and he could just state the pros and cons, and there were still rules.
At this time, the right minister Pang Qing stood up: "Listening to what the left minister said, it seems that the candidate for the head of the household department is none other than Wang Yuzhong?" ”
Zhao Wuyun said with a smile: "If there is a better candidate for the right minister, the old man will not object, isn't this being discussed." ”
Pang Qing said: "Actually, I also think that Wang Yuzhong is good, the ministers have said a lot just now, and it is not interesting for me to be verbose, but I think the household servant should discuss it again?" ”
The emperor looked at the left and right ministers and talked about how to distribute the cakes of the household.
To be honest, the emperor felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and the situation in the court was something he didn't want to see, especially Zhao Wuyin's support for Wang Yuzhong's succession, such a big piece of fat, and the people of the other two parties actually had no objections, which was terrible.
Don't look at it, there are still some arguments, but they are fighting for the waiter, which doesn't mean that everyone tacitly acquiesces that the position of Shangshu will definitely fall on the party of the left minister.
So... It's scary to think about!
Zhao Wuyun paid attention to the attitudes of Pang Qing and Di Dezhang, and already understood that these two did not intend to compete for the position of Shangshu.
Originally, Zhao Wuyin thought that the two positions of the household department and the squire had to be taken down, which was like the ministry of officials, but looking at the current situation, all the controversy has focused on the position of the squire.
The big husband should be decided!
"In this way, the old man won't say much, the household servant is also very important, Qian Shoucheng does have shortcomings, and the old man can't think of anyone who can be qualified for this position for a while..."
Back off!
Listening to Zhao Wuyin's words, both the Right Prime Minister Party and the Jiangnan Party heard that Zhao Wuyin had transferred some of his interests.
Di Dezhang couldn't sit still, this was the contest between him and Pang Qing.
Di Dezhang said: "As the so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives, my son Di Youdao was originally in the household department as the right Cao Shilang, I thought about it and might as well let him take over the position of the left Cao Shilang with the same party, so that after Wang Yuzhong was promoted, there is also a person who is familiar with the official affairs of the household department to assist." ”
Although Di Dezhang recommended his own son, he was very particular about it.
First of all, the official system of the household yamen, Da Song in the configuration of the household officials, is to set up a scholar, Lang Lang, Lang Zhong, Yuan Wai Lang, Du Zhi, Jin Ministry, Cang Department each two people, the official system of the two of them, basically divided into left and right, left and right, left and right.
The Jiangnan Party fought for the position before, although it had the idea of letting the Jiangnan Party occupy the two servants of the household in one breath, but with Pang Qing going down, as soon as he made a move, he stared at the position of the household attendant, and Di Dezhang knew that it was inevitable to fight.
Then the best way is to give Pang Qing a reason not to fight.
The subtext of Dejon is... I protect my son, I see how you fight with me, even if it is the right minister, who can stop a father who fights for the interests of his son?
But relatively... Di Dezhang also released a signal, as soon as Di Youdao was promoted, there was a vacancy in the right Cao Shilang, if he didn't want to tear his face, Pang Qing simply took the position of the right Cao Shilang.
This is just like the pattern of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Wuyin deserves to be the first, second and third has been rotating between Pang Qing and Di Dezhang, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
"Oh, Governor Di's words are really enlightening, why didn't I think before, the routine should be promoted step by step, and Di Shilang should be promoted to Zuo Cao Shilang."
Jiangnan party officials rushed one by one to express their approval.
Pang Qing looked at Zhao Wuyun and then at Di Dezhang, and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in his heart.
He really doesn't have a good way to compete in this game, and if you think about it carefully, it's also appropriate, anyway, he originally planned to win an official position for his subordinates, so as to save him any constraints in the future.
Immediately, Pang Qing recommended another person from the Right Prime Minister's Party, and all the ministers in the court saw that the bigwigs had already divided the cake, so they expressed their attitudes one after another, and the picture was still very harmonious.
At this point, the task of the courtiers has been completed, just waiting for the emperor to nod, as long as the emperor nods, this series of personnel appointments and dismissals of the household department will be over.
But... The emperor didn't design it this way, the courtiers finished singing, and now it was time for the emperor to take the stage.
"What the secretary said is reasonable, seeing that you are making suggestions and suggestions for the country, I am very relieved, the appointment and dismissal of the household servant is insufficient, and I am not satisfied with the arrangement of the household book, do you want to talk about it again?"
The ministers were shocked!
For a time, the entire Qianqing Palace was silent!
Is the emperor going to rebel, just say it so clearly, and disagree with the Shangshu candidate recommended by Zhao Wuyin, does it mean that the emperor wants to attack the left minister?
Zhao Wuyun was also a little surprised, and couldn't help frowning.
