Wang Xijue then sighed again, and said to himself: "Your Majesty is the master of great talent!" ”

Wang Shimin, the grandson of Wang Xijue, saw that his grandfather had been in a daze, so he asked, "Father, what's wrong with you, is it the content of the holy decree that makes you unhappy?" ”

"How upset you are."

"I'm so happy!"

"Aren't you happy when Your Majesty is willing to put the fortunes of the next ten years in your hands, and let you try to govern the country with a method that you really want to implement but is not very recognized by the whole world, and give you such great trust?"

After Wang Xijue answered, he asked Wang Shimin with a smile.

Wang Shimin shook his head: "My grandson doesn't understand!" ”

Wang Xijue said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to know that next, your eldest father and I will either be famous for a hundred years, or will be stinky for ten thousand years." ”

"Huh?"

"Isn't that interesting?"

Wang Xijue took the initiative to ask his grandson with a smile, and then said, "You go and invite Yang Gong of Otsuka to come." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Shimin agreed ignorantly.

But soon, Wang Shimin came back and played: "Father, Otsuka Zai said that he has something to do now and can't come to see you!" ”

Wang Xijue raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "Since Pan Gong went to office, the household department has not been decided, after the death of the prince, the criminal department has not been decided, and the military department has not been decided, His Majesty has given the first assistant the right to nominate the first assistant, and he will not come to the ministry, how can I nominate it?" Is he trying to delay the court's major policies?! ”

After Wang Xijue said it, he said in a loud voice: "Counselor Ma Weibin! ”

At this time, a young official immediately walked over from the duty room of the first assistant counselor on the side: "Please give instructions to Yuan Fu." ”

"I plan to go to the Six Science Corridor with my cabinet ticket, and let the officials impeach Otsuka Zai Yang Shiqiao is lazy, and if there is an urgent matter, he will not deal with it, and sit back and watch the lack of officials in the court not make up for it and miss the government!"

Wang Xijue hurriedly commanded at this time.

"Yes!"

Ma Weibin said yes and left the official residence Shoufu, but he didn't go directly to the Liuke Gallery, but walked directly to the official residence of the official department Shangshu first.

At this time.

Yang Shiqiao, the official secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was wearing a square scarf and an indigo robe, sitting in front of Li Dai and Zhang Wenda and Dr. Zhang Wenda, talking about the power of the Son of Heaven to nominate important ministers of various ministries and institutes.

And Zhang Wenda said first at this time: "Wang Taicang is too optimistic about my Ming prospects, not to mention, Your Majesty is the same, and let Wang Taicang have the right to nominate him, this is undoubtedly a real Xiangguo, and the officials will really look up to the cabinet in the future." ”

"Yes, now, the cabinet has really become a Chinese book."

Li Dai, the left attendant of the ministry, also said a word.

And Yang Shiqiao snorted: "Jiuqing directly plays to the Son of Heaven, which is the ancestral system of this dynasty!" In order to prevent the ministers from harming the country, even if they have to change due to the actual situation, but he Wang Xijue is a reckless and greedy person as the first assistant, as long as I am still a secretary, I will not let him do whatever he wants, wantonly abuse the country's funds, the Son of Heaven gave him the right to nominate but did not give him the right to remove the minister! ”

"Kaiyu Otsuka Zai, Counselor Ma beside Motofu is here to worship."

At this time, a counselor beside Yang Shiqiao came over and reported a word.

Li Dai and Zhang Wenda both looked at Yang Shiqiao in surprise after hearing this.

Yang Shiqiao smiled and said, "That's my cousin!" ”

After Yang Shiqiao said that, he asked the counselor who came to his side not long ago to pass on Ma Weibin.

Not long after, Ma Weibin came over and informed Yang Shiqiao himself that Wang Xijue wanted the Ministry of Officials to impeach Yang Shiqiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials.

Syllable!

"Too much deception!"

Yang Shiqiao slapped the table on the spot, his face turned pale: "I just have something, and it's not that I don't go to see him, how can it be considered lazy government, how can it be regarded as ignoring the country's governance?" ”

"This Wang Taicang is really a villain, just with the new power of Tianxian, he has to embarrass the minister!"

Li Dai couldn't help but say a word at this time, and said to Yang Shiqiao:

"The public can't be at his mercy, it's better to resign directly, saying that he is not tolerated by Yuanfu, so he has to resign, so the Son of Heaven will know his domineering state!"

Yang Shiqiao looked at Zhang Wenda at this time and asked, "Deyun, what do you think about this?" ”

Zhang Wenda opened his mouth with a smile at this time, and said: "Wang Taicang has the power of the first assistant, and it is in line with the system to ask Otsuka Zai to meet him and discuss the government together. ”

"Unless it is, you can't get up or anything if you have a serious illness, that's the rule! It is the responsibility of the officials to supervise whether the bureaucrats at all levels are loyal to the country when they perform their duties, and now that the cabinet votes for the officials have been issued, the officials and the bureaucrats naturally cannot fail to accept and do not follow the system. ”

"You are in the middle of the matter, isn't the official department your official department now, dragging this matter for Otsuka Zai, can't you ignore this cabinet ticket?"

Li Dai asked Zhang Wenda with some annoyance.

Zhang Wenda said: "Shaozuka Zai can't say that, the official department has never been the official department of the subordinates, but the official department of the imperial court." “

Li Dai snorted and said, "I think you are afraid that when you pass the exam next year, you will be dismissed by the cabinet and given a position in the matter, so you refuse to help Otsuka Zai, right?" ”

"You'd rather sit back and watch a loyal old minister like Otsuka Zai be killed, rather than give up a black gauze hat that the officials gave to the matter!"

Zhang Wenda was busy trying to argue, but Yang Shiqiao said here: "No need to say it! Although it is easy to resign, if I, Yang, return to my hometown with the infamy of a corpse vegetarian meal, I will not have the face to see my ancestors! ”

Then, Yang Shiqiao took the cabinet ticket from Ma Weibin's hand, and said to Zhang Wenda: "I'll take the cabinet ticket to see Yuanfu, I don't know if Zhang has the intention of blocking it?" ”

"How dare the subordinates!"

"Otsuka Zai endures humiliation for the sake of the country, which will only make the younger generations admire."

Zhang Wenda hurriedly bowed down and replied to Yang Shiqiao.

Yang Shiqiao just smiled and walked towards the Shoufu Mansion.

At this time, Li Dai shouted with a disappointed face: "Yang Gong! ”

Yang Shiqiao ignored it and just continued to walk forward.

And after Yang Shiqiao left, Zhang Wenda asked Li Dai with a smile: "The public persuaded Otsuka Zai to leave, wouldn't he want to take over the position of Otsuka Zai himself?" ”

Li Dai only smiled: "Do you think everyone is like you?" ”

After saying that, Li Dai also threw up his sleeves and left.

And Zhang Wenda smiled.

"Do you really think that only you are a smart person, and everyone else is a fool?"

Then, Zhang Wenda scolded and went to the Liuke Corridor.

Wenchen is like this, there will always be conflicts because of some things, even if they can still respect each other as gentlemen before, but later they will be like enemies because of this one thing.

And Yang Shiqiao is like this, he was quite disdainful of Wang Xijue before, but now after seeing Wang Xijue, he respectfully respected Wang Xijue, and said:

"Yuanfu, please calm his anger, the subordinates said that they had something to do before, not that the subordinates really had something, but that the ignorant counselors below saw that I was busy and didn't dare to pass through, so they made such a reason, and as a result, Yuanfu almost misunderstood!"

"It just so happened that the subordinates were also coming to see Yuanfu, so I ran into Counselor Ma on the road, and then I learned that Yuanfu had already issued a cabinet ticket and wanted to impeach the subordinates for laziness."

"But the subordinates are really wronged!"

Yang Shiqiao bowed down and replied again.

Then, Yang Shiqiao said: "The subordinates don't dare to be lazy, no, as soon as the government affairs in the hands of the subordinates are over, they take the initiative to come over and ask Yuanfu to show them about the affairs of Quanzheng?" ”

Saying that, Yang Shiqiao sneered and said, "Please forgive Yuanfu!" ”

"I see."

"I misunderstood."

"You may be seated."

Wang Xijue said a word, and then ordered: "Serve tea!" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!"

Yang Shiqiao's eyes flickered, and he deliberately replied.

Wang Xijue sank his face and asked, "The emperor is still sitting and talking about politics, how dare I treat Otsuka Zai rudely?" ”

"Yes!"

"The subordinates are really confused!"

Yang Shiqiao replied, sat on half of his buttocks, and looked at Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue continued to ask Yang Shiqiao at this time: "There are vacancies in a few Shangshu, has the ministry thought of an alternate?" ”

"It's already in the ministry."

Yang Shiqiao replied.

After hearing this, Wang Xijue asked, "When can we negotiate?" ”

"The day after tomorrow."

After Yang Shiqiao answered, he glanced at Wang Xijue.

But Wang Xijue frowned at this time.

Yang Shiqiao hurriedly changed his words and said, "Tomorrow afternoon." ”

Wang Xijue still didn't answer.

Yang Shiqiao had to say again: "I'll urge it, there will be no problem tomorrow morning." ”

"Then there will be a hard work of Lao Gong and his colleagues in the ministry."

Only then did Wang Xijue smile and say:

"We are all courtiers, we can't just know how to persuade Your Majesty to be diligent in government, but we are lazy, not to mention that now the court has given a lot of rewards and silver, so we can't live up to the emperor's grace."

"You said yes, Otsuka Zai?"

Wang Xijue also asked about Yang Shiqiao.

Yang Shiqiao nodded and smiled: "What Yuan Fu said is that the emperor's favor and the people's feelings cannot be bearable, not to mention that if the Beijing government delays for one day, the province will dare to delay it for a month, and the county will dare to delay it for a year. ”

"That's exactly what it is!"

"If the positions of a few Shangshu are not determined in time, if it is delayed for a day, there will be a lot of government delays!"

"Especially those unjustly accused criminals in the Criminal Department who are waiting to be tried are waiting for the trial to be cleared up and go home for reunion."

Wang Xijue nodded and replied.

After Yang Shiqiao returned to the ministry, he asked Li Dai, the left attendant of the ministry, to call back from home and instructed:

"Let the Anthology Division and the Examination Division hurry up and report the list of suitable people who have a few vacancies, don't go home tonight, and discuss the right candidates overnight!"

"This."

"Everybody's home."

Li Dai replied in amazement.

Yang Shiqiao said: "Don't talk about going home, even if you go to the funeral, you have to come back first, and then talk about this matter overnight, one by one with so many money from the imperial court, are they all messing around?!" One by one, the unenlightened guys have received the emperor's grace in vain! ”

"Yes!"

Soon.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials had to carry lanterns to the ministry, and they all complained: "What kind of madness is this Otsuka, it's getting dark, and he has to let people go back to do things, but they are all scholars from Jinshi, not livestock!" ”
