"Ahem! The Qianqing Palace is an important place for the emperor to ask about politics, what kind of system do you have when you are so noisy? ”

After seeing Kangxi say that he wanted to choose a new prime minister, the scene in the hall was a little chaotic, and Suo Etu coughed twice! So, soon, the hall was quiet again, but although it was quiet on the surface, the hearts of the civil and military officials were still fluctuating!

……

"Your Majesty, the slave wants to recommend someone!" Looking at the quiet situation he had created with satisfaction, Suo Etu was the first to stand up and say to Kangxi.

"Oh? Suo Etu, you have a candidate so soon? Well, let's say, who do you want to recommend? ”

"Your Majesty, what the slave wants to recommend is: Li Guangdi!" Suo Etu replied confidently.

"Lee Kwang-di?"

"Exactly! Your Majesty, Li Guangdi is loyal and patriotic, knowledgeable and not under Xiong Ci, and has served as the governor of Zhili for many years, very capable, and he is definitely the best candidate for the minister! Suo Etu said.

"Hmmm! This is not bad, whether it is in terms of qualifications, knowledge, and ability, Li Guangdi is indeed the best choice! Kangxi also nodded.

"Yes, yes, Master Li is indeed the best candidate! …… ”

"That's right, Li Jinqing (Li Guangdi's name Jinqing) is well-deserved as the minister of the study......"

……

Seeing Suo Etu's recommendation, Kangxi nodded, and some enthusiastic officials immediately calmed down, although their brains hadn't reacted much, but their mouths had already expressed their meaning at the first time - Li Guangdi, indeed, should also be the first candidate! The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and it is true that no one is more qualified than Li Guangdi to compete for this phase!

It's no wonder that these people have such a herd mentality! Because Lee Kwang-di does have the ability to serve the public!

Although this praise is somewhat exaggerated, it also shows his status in the Qing Dynasty academic circles where science is prevalent, although it cannot be compared with Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, who are unwilling to be loyal to the Qing court and really dive into learning to be a great master, but because of his status as a first-class master, he is more influential to those who are obsessed with the imperial examination!

Moreover, Lee Guangdi is also very talented, has made many great contributions, and his reputation among the government and the people is also excellent! When the three feudatories rebelled, they sent people back to Beijing from Fujian to offer a strategy to pacify Fujian; When recovering Taiwan, Shi Lang was recommended with the life of the entire Li clan in Hutou; When he was appointed governor of Zhili, he governed the Ziya River, Zhanghe River, and Yongding River, and corrected the maladministration of "enclosure" in the early Qing Dynasty for decades on a large scale...... Wait a minute! Kangxi has publicly commended his exploits many times! It can be said that Li Guangdi has long been a capable minister of "Jane in the heart of the emperor", and he was already a very popular candidate for prime minister a few years ago, if it weren't for the fact that he suddenly didn't know which corner came out of a Gao Shiqi, Li Guangdi would have been the prime minister a long time ago, and now Suo Etu mentions him and sums it up in one word, that is: Shuntian responds to people! This posture, if it weren't for the fact that Li Guangdi was still in the Governor Yamen of Tongzhou, I am afraid that he would have been able to thank Jun En first!

"Your Majesty, the minister opposes Li Guangdi as the minister of the upper study!"

Just when the civil and military officials almost certainly thought that Li Guangdi was the most suitable candidate, a discordant voice sounded above the court!

"Xu Qianxue?!" Everyone was amazed! This person is the remnants of Mingzhu's party, Kangxi did not strictly investigate them, and let this guy and a few other people escape, however, he was still demoted from the criminal department Shangshu to the waiter, just a temporary Shangshu matter, but now the Mingzhu party has long since disappeared, this Xu Qianxue dared to oppose Suo Etu without any backing, he didn't want to live?

"Hmph, it turned out to be Lord Xu, but I don't know why Lord Xu, why do you think Li Guangdi can't be the minister of the study? He can't, can you? Seeing that someone in the court dared to provoke him, and it was a remnant of the previous Mingzhu party, Suo Etu was immediately furious, and immediately shouted angrily.

"Suo Xiang, the humble position is not that Li Guangdi 'can't' be the minister of the study, but that he is 'unworthy'!"

"Oh? Li Guangdi, why is he not worthy? Was he corrupt and bribed? Could it be that he harmed the people of the beetle country? …… Hmph, he is always much more 'worthy' than you Xu Qianxue Master Xu! Suo Etu sneered.

"Hehe, please rest assured, the humble position is also self-aware, and he thinks he is not qualified to compare with Li Jinqing, but this minister of the study is in the position of the ruler, the status is respectful, and he has lived by the side of my emperor for a long time, and he needs a person with both virtue and ability to serve in this position, Li Jinqing is naturally the best choice in terms of knowledge and ability, but ...... His 'virtue' is at a loss! Xu Qianxue also sneered.

"You?! ......" Suo Etu stretched out a finger and pointed at Xu Qianxue, almost wanting to hit someone.

Li Guangdi's "virtue" has been rumored for many years, from the "traitor" case (Chen Menglei case) more than ten years ago, to the "love seizure" case and the "return of the foreign-woman's son" case a few years ago, everything is unclear, but it is even more imaginative to say that it is not clear, you must know that these three cases represent the three major crimes of "injustice", "unfilial piety" and "unkindness", and have long become the three biggest weaknesses of Li Guangdi. Lee Kwang-di, the minister of the study, wants to do it! …… After all, the imperial court wants to be faced!

(Love seizure case: Li Guangdi's mother died, according to the rules, he should go home to keep the system for three years, but at that time he was trying to enter the study, so he hid his funeral and did not report it, but he was exposed, in order to make up for it, he had to go to the table to ask to go home to keep the system, but Kangxi gave him a holy decree to use the love seizure!)

The son of a foreign woman came to the case: During Li Guangdi's funeral, he had an affair with a woman in a Qinglou, and later the woman gave birth to two sons to him, so he sold his family property and went to his hometown to recognize his relatives, but his people did not recognize it, the woman was already penniless at that time, and a family of three found the capital like beggars, but Li Guangdi still did not recognize it. ）

Suo Etu also didn't expect anyone to mention this stubble for a while, because no matter which aspect, Li Guangdi is the most suitable candidate for prime minister, and he is the person recommended by the first power of the dynasty, generally speaking, no one should oppose it, because if he opposes it, he will face the revenge of him and Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili, which is very terrible for these officials present, but how can Xu Qianxue, who should have his tail between his legs and be a man, have such courage?

However, Suo Etu didn't have time to think about the reason why Xu Qianxue did this, in the court, in front of the emperor, he pointed at the minister and scolded angrily, such an arrogant behavior has already angered a person!

"Suo Etu, this is the Qianqing Palace, not your home, what are you arrogant?"

"......" someone dares to discipline themselves? This voice doesn't look like the emperor! Suo Etu was angry, and immediately turned his head to look at the source of the voice, but after seeing the person who scolded him, he behaved, endured his anger, and honestly returned to his seat!

"Wu Dan, step aside!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The slow question and answer show who is the master here!

Kangxi's emotionless gaze swept over Suo Etu, which made the latter feel a chill in his heart, and he no longer dared to hold his head high, and carefully drooped down, only occasionally rolling his eyelids to peek at the tall figure next to Kangxi who was wearing a yellow coat and wearing a treasure knife, and he couldn't help but feel resentful.

Wu Dan! I don't know my real name, I only know that I used to be called "Qiang Donkey", I was a Jiangyang thief, before Kangxi captured Aobai, he and Mu Zixu (another called "Li Xu") and others were called by Wei Dongting, abandoned their old identities, served as the inner guard, and in Kangxi's final blow to Aobai, they fought to the death, and their meritorious service was not small! Later, after Kangxi's success, he, Wei Dongting, Mu Zixu, and another wolf (Mu Qin) became Kangxi's four guards! …… Later, when the three feudatories rebelled, there was a person who falsely claimed to be the "third prince of Zhu" in the former Ming Dynasty, pulled up a Zhong Sanlang sect, wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Beijing to make trouble, and also contacted many eunuchs left by the former Ming Dynasty in the palace, as a result, when it was launched, these eunuchs besieged Kunning Palace, and the queen Hesheri ignored the imminent production, called the donkey to lead the guards out of the palace to quell the rebellion, and in order to inspire him, his name was changed from the donkey to Wudan! And it was that time that Wu Dan's notoriety spread all over Beijing, because in order to deter those traitors, he performed a show: eat people's hearts raw! ……

After the rebellion of the three feudatories was pacified, Wei Dongting, the first guard of Kangxi's side, served as the governor of the customs of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, and became the largest feudal official of the Qing Dynasty; The wolf (Mu Qin) went to Mongolia to lead the troops in Kazuo, holding 70,000 male soldiers; Mu Zixu served as the political envoy of Jiangsu Bu and Jiangning Weaving, which was not only fat, but also responsible for supervising the civil and military forces in Jiangnan; Only he Wu Dan was reluctant to go out of Beijing, and as a result, he became the first guard in Da Nei after Wei Dongting, but although he was nominally only a guard commander, Wu Dan had the power to govern the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion and the Infantry Army to lead the Yamen at the same time, and he was also in charge of Kangxi's pro-army camp Shanba, and he was really the first military general in the capital! And he is a warlike, bloody, killing, and short-tempered person, in the capital, except for Kangxi, no one can suppress him, so even Suo Etu, when facing him, he is often frightened in his heart. A few days ago, he just went to Nanjing (i.e. Jiangning) on the order of Kangxi, and only came back recently, but no one thought that as soon as he came back, he would first show his majesty with the first power of Suo Etu!

"Xu Qianxue, since you don't agree with Li Guangdi as the minister of the upper study, there must be other candidates in your heart, let's talk about it!" Suo Etu was "suppressed", and Kangxi asked Xu Qianxue again.

"Back to the emperor, the minister wants to recommend the scholar Chen Tingjing!" Xu Qianxue replied.

"Well, Ting Jing is also a suitable candidate!" Kangxi was noncommittal.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen may not be as knowledgeable as possible!" Suo Etu retreated, but it does not mean that his party also retired, Li Guangdi is Suo Etu's protégé, in order to take sole power, Suo Etu can be said to be determined to push Li Guangdi to the throne of prime minister, so, under his eyes, Chen Xijia, the head of the household, went out to oppose Xu Qianxue's proposal!

"Oh? Tingjing, some people say that you are not good at learning, what do you think? Kangxi asked Chen Tingjing with a smile.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that his knowledge is indeed inferior to Li Jinqing, and he has no intention of becoming the minister of the study, so he still asks the emperor to choose another talent!" Chen Tingjing replied, looking neither humble nor arrogant!

"That's right...... Xu Aiqing, since Chen Tingjing has no intention of being here, do you still recommend him? Kangxi asked Xu Qianxue again.

"Your Majesty, the minister just thinks that Lord Chen is the most suitable, since he has no intention, the minister has nothing to say!" After Xu Qianxue finished speaking, he also retreated, he didn't really want to recommend Chen Tingjing, how to say that he was also an enemy before, he was just trying to obstruct Suo Etu, since Mingzhu went, he and Yu Guozhu and several other remnants of the Pearl Party also thought about taking refuge in Suo Etu, but the previous grievances were too deep, and Suo Etu was an arrogant person, and he actually sent someone to replace them, just like that Hubu squire Chen Xijia, who was the candidate used by Suo Etu to replace Yu Guozhu, the head of the Hubu Shangshu, in order to protect themselves, they knew that the opponent was strong, had no choice but to fight back, and now Suo Etu recommended his protégé Li Guangdi to enter the study, if he succeeded, wouldn't the entire court really become Suo Laosan? In that case, it would be useless for them to fight back, so in order to avoid bad luck in the future, he had to fight.

"Alas, Li Guangdi can't do it, Chen Tingjing doesn't want to, is there any other candidate for Aiqing?" Kangxi asked down again, his sentence clearly stated that he did not agree with Li Guangdi as the prime minister, so that whether it was Suo Etu, who was still lucky, or others, they all understood, so they had to use their brains.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Liang Qingbiao, the former head of the household department!" After thinking about it for a while, Yu Guozhu, the head of the household, came out of the class and said.

"The minister recommends the prince and the young master Tang Bin!"

"Minister's Recommendation ......"

"Minister......

……

"The minister recommended the governor of Jiangsu to !! Jackie Chan"

The biggest candidate was rejected, and after the hundred officials pondered, they recommended the people they thought were suitable, but the enthusiastic recommendation tide stopped after such a sound, and everyone looked at the guy who recommended Jackie Chan with words, and as a result, the official was so frightened that he immediately shrank back! …… Calling Yu Chenglong to be the minister of the study, isn't that tantamount to inviting a monkey who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace? This proposal is that the emperor agrees, and the hundred officials must also resolutely oppose it!

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to recommend someone!"

After everyone shut up, Gao Shiqi came out!
