"The paperwork sent back by Prime Minister Li Cheng?"

"Recommend Zhang Cang?"

"Did I hear me right? How could Prime Minister Li recommend Zhang Cang? ”

"Aren't the two of them too close?"

"This"

When they heard Wei Shenggao's shouting words, everyone in the hall lost their composure.

I really can't calm down.

The documents that Li Si suddenly sent back disrupted all the arrangements and plans, and the few people who thought they were winning before were also a little panicked.

No one thought about this situation.

Li Si's document surprised everyone.

They hadn't even thought that Li Si would send back the paperwork, let alone that Li Si would recommend Zhang Cang.

Li Si and Zhang Cangshi went out of the same house.

This news is clear to the officials of the entire court.

But since Li Si Shiqin, he has never given Zhang Cang any preferential treatment, only endless indifference and neglect, and there is very little contact between Zhang Cang and Li Si, and over time, everyone thinks that the two are just empty brothers.

And Li Si has always been businesslike.

There is very little favoritism.

They will not think about it in this regard, and now that this document has been returned, many people have been surprised.

Ling Hu Fan and Zhao Ping's faces were very ugly.

looked at Zhang Cang's eyes, full of unkindness.

They did a lot of calculations, but they didn't count it, and there was this one.

How does this keep them from being angry?

Li Si is the prime minister of Great Qin, and his right to speak in the court is not insignificant, and the official position of the Shaofu is already in the pocket of these economic ministers, but now there are more variables.

And the reason why they are so calm and calm in front of them.

It is because many ministers in the court have not returned.

Li Si, Dun Weak, Yao Jia and other three princes and nine kings are not there, and they will have much less pressure to compete for the Shaofu, and there will be a lot less opposition and controversy, as a result, although Li Si and others did not return to the imperial court, the documents were sent.

This frustrated their calculations.

Side.

Feng Quji's face was stunned.

Liszt deliberately interfered in the selection of candidates for Shaofu, which was actually unexpected by him.

He has been working with Li Si for several years, and he knows Li Si's temperament, Li Si cherishes his feathers very much, and will not easily let himself leave a handle for others, let alone cause trouble for himself.

The selection of Shaofu officials, with Li Si's previous character, will not take the initiative to get involved at all.

Only when the dust settles will he come out and say a few words.

This is not in line with Lees's style.

So there's only one possibility.

It was deliberately requested by Fusu, or secretly reminded.

That's the only way.

Lees could have done that.

And this may not be impossible, Fusu attaches great importance to the position of Shaofu, because Fusu has been working on finance in recent years, and he will not easily leave the power of Shaofu aside.

Come to think of this.

Feng Qujian sighed secretly in his heart.

These ministers in the court are probably all set aside by Fusu.

However, if Li Si can recommend Zhang Cang like this, it can be seen to some extent that Li Si recognizes Zhang Cang, otherwise Li Si would never risk his reputation to help Zhang Cang recommend.

It's just that now with Li Si's intervention, the atmosphere in the court is different.

Feng Qujian glanced at the hall lightly.

Still didn't open his mind.

Hear the words.

Fusu showed a hint of surprise.

He didn't seem to expect that Li Si would send the documents, and he hurriedly said: "Wei Sheng, bring the documents sent by Prime Minister Li Cheng." ”

Soon.

Wei Sheng sent the documents to Fusu.

Fusu carefully read this document and made sure that there was no problem with what Wei Sheng said, so he said: "Prime Minister Li Cheng is far away in Kanto, but he is still worried about the affairs of the court, which really makes Fusu a little embarrassed. ”

"There is no favoritism."

"Wei Sheng, hand the document to the minister of the DPRK and China to see."

Fusu waved his hand and handed the bamboo slip forward.

Wei Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, took the document, and then handed it over to Feng Quji, and for a while, the officials around Feng Quji turned their heads to see what the document said.

As for whether there is a possibility of falsification of documents.

They didn't think about it.

This is categorically impossible.

Li Si is an important minister of the court, the style of writing is obvious, if someone makes a fake, it is easy to identify, and besides, Li Si is already on the way back, if he hears about it, how can he not investigate it strictly in the future?

Who would dare to take such a bold risk to cheat?

Feng Qujian glanced at it a few times, recognized the handwriting, and knew that it was indeed written by Li Si himself, so he handed the document to the minister beside him, and the other ministers hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully.

After this document was passed on more than a dozen hands, all the ministers in the basic hall saw it.

Among them, Ling Hufan and Zhaoping officials looked more carefully, and they even hoped to see the problem from it, and then pointed out that there was a problem with this document, and it was not from Prime Minister Li Cheng, but no matter how they looked at it, they could not see any problems.

Because Li Si's style of writing is too distinct.

Vigorous as a silver hook, beautiful as a picture scroll of mountains and rivers, and strict as the law.

The magnificence of Li Si's writing is well-known in the entire court, and these ministers in the court can actually write a good hand, but the only people in the world who can compare with Li Si's handwriting are Hu Wujing and Zhao Gao.

Because of this, the three were commissioned by the First Emperor to write a thousand-character essay.

Li Si's words, even if they are copied, are difficult to imitate the artistic conception in them.

This document, at a glance, they knew that it was indeed written by Li Si, but it could not have been written by others.

After all the ministers in the palace had seen it, Fusu said leisurely: "Since Prime Minister Li Sicheng recommended Zhang Cang, and also listed Zhang Cang's various advantages, then Zhang Cang should also be included in the scope of discussion." ”

"What do the ministers think?"

A word fell.

The temple fell silent.

No one took the initiative to speak, and all of them had flashing eyes.

How could they not know that if they agreed, with Li Si's prestige and influence in the court, they were afraid that most of the positions of this young mansion would fall on Zhang Cang's head, after all, Li Si took the initiative to recommend the situation, looking at Li Si's entire career, there were very few.

And what kind of people did Li Si recommend in the past?

Wei Yu, Zheng Guo, etc.

They are all people who have made great contributions to Great Qin.

Li Si recommended talents, even the first emperor couldn't help but value a few more points, how dare they argue? If they offend Li Si because of this, it will be a great disadvantage to them in the court in the future.

How dare they take risks?

Be quiet a little.

Feng Quji took the initiative to speak: "Since Li Sicheng recognizes Zhang Cang's imperial history so much, and highly recommends it, the minister thinks that it is reasonable to include Zhang Cang's imperial history in the scope of consideration. ”

"The minister agrees with His Highness's point of view."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

“.”

Soon.

There was a chorus of seconding in the main hall.

There was hardly much controversy, and the matter was settled.

Forthwith.

The atmosphere in the hall changed solemnly.

With Zhang Cang's horizontal hand, the candidate for the position of Shaofu is not necessarily.

Ling Hu Fan and Zhao Ping had gloomy faces.

They were very unhappy about this.

But because of Li Si's prestige, he really didn't dare to refute.

However, it is naturally impossible for them to give up directly.

Ling Hu Fan hesitated for a moment, and said: "The minister has no opinion on Zhang Cangyushi's election for the position of Shaofu, but Zhang Cangyushi was in charge of the world's plans in the past, but he doesn't know how much he knows about economic matters. ”

"If you don't know about economic matters, I'm afraid you really can't be qualified for the position of Shaofu."

"Linghu didn't want to embarrass Zhang Cangyushi, so he only discussed the people's livelihood that Zhang Cangyushi had dabbled in, and the people's livelihood was in fact, Zhang Cangyushi understood more than two aspects, one was the currency system, and the other was the acres of land."

"The currency system involves the world's wealth, and the acres of land involve the prosperity and decline of agriculture."

"The most fundamental thing is people's livelihood."

"If you can understand these two things, you can grasp the pulse of the world in one fell swoop."

"Linghu is not talented, I want to ask one or two."

Zhang Cang got up and said solemnly: "Please also ask Linghu Changshi to ask questions." ”

Seeing that Zhang Cang did not shirk at all, let alone give in at all, Ling Hu's face turned gloomy, and he couldn't help sneering: "Zhang Yushi is graceful and rich, but he doesn't know what his belly is full of?" ”

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang's face was as usual.

He naturally knew that this was Ling Hu mocking his figure.

He said indifferently: "Zhang Cang has no other in his belly, he has mastered the plan for many years, and he only has the account books of the world." ”

Linghu Fan said: "Since you say that your belly is full of account books, then you turn over the account books, how many coins are in the world?" ”

"Actually, three, gold, iron, and cloth." Zhang Cang said calmly: "But in fact, there are twenty-one coins in the world, and there are twenty-one coins in the people, and the coins of the seven countries are gold, iron, and cloth, so they are twenty-one." ”

Hearing Zhang Cang so calmly, Ling Hu Fan's face was solemn, and he said: "How many acres of land are there in the world?" ”

"Water and drought are equal, one hundred steps and one acre." Zhang Cangdao.

Hear the words.

Linghu Fan sneered: "You Zhang Cang is a little quick, but in the end it is too big to be right." ”

Zhang Cang shook his head and said: "It's not that Zhang Cang is big and inappropriate, but that Hu Changshi is deliberately embarrassed, and today, the hidden population is intensifying, the local civil land mergers are frequent, and the Qin Banliang issued by the imperial court is difficult to bear the circulation of the world's coins, so that the currencies of the six countries in the past are still rampant in the world, so that the fox Changshi's question, even the gods can't answer in detail." ”

"If Changshi really has the heart to take the school exam."

"Don't be suspicious of your appearance, if I, Zhang Cang, am really incompetent, since there should be an annual assessment law ruling, and then there will be a law to degrade him, why do you need such a perverse examination school?"

Zhang Cang did not lower his posture because of this, but responded quite strongly.

Since he has been entrusted with the important task of Fusu.

Naturally, there is a fight.

Otherwise, when he enters the Shaofu in the future, won't he be crushed by the officials below, and how will he do things in the future? And how to convince people? Therefore, when facing the officials of the Shaofu, he could not make the slightest concession.

Hearing Zhang Cang's counterattack, Ling Hu Fan's face was slightly gloomy.

He looked at Zhang Cang a few times, the more dissatisfied he was in his eyes, he wanted Zhang Cang to retreat from the difficulty, or to be a little ugly, so as to use this as a good excuse for Zhang Cang to withdraw, but Zhang Cang was not moved at all, and questioned himself in turn.

It seems that he has done something wrong.

Therefrom.

He knows it, too.

Zhang Cang really wants to be this young man.

Otherwise, they won't fight with reason at all, and they won't bite to death and not let go.

This made Linghu Fan anxious.

With Li Si behind him, Zhang Cang obviously has more advantages.

His eyes rolled wildly, thinking of other ways to deal with it.

Zhang Cang's face was indifferent.

He didn't take Ling Hufan's targeting in his eyes at all, he used to be born white and fat, and he had a bad reputation in the court, and he has always been laughed at by many people as a person who indulges in luxury, but this does not mean that he doesn't know anything about the court.

Quite the opposite.

He saw a lot of things better.

Side.

Linghu Fan had already moved his gaze to the side of Zhaoping, hoping that these people would stand up and speak for themselves, even if they didn't speak for themselves, at least they couldn't let Zhang Cang's tricks succeed.

However.

No one stood up.

This made Linghu Fan very annoyed in his heart.

Didn't the reason why he stood up was to let the position of Shaofu be reserved for them as Minister of Economy?

As a result, the other economic ministers not only did not speak for themselves, but also watched from the sidelines, which made him not appear dissatisfied.

And Linghu Fan really thought wrong.

At first, Zhaoping wanted to stand up and speak for their Minister of Economy.

It's just that when he was about to stand up, he pulled his sleeve for the person next to him, and he didn't talk about that person easily, and even asked him to look at it more.

Zhaoping was initially puzzled.

When I saw His Highness smiling and looking down, my mind suddenly reacted.

Zhang Cang is very close to His Royal Highness.

Zhang Cang competes for the position of Shaofu, His Royal Highness really doesn't know?

This is absolutely impossible.

So it is very likely that this is what His Royal Highness instructed, combined with Du He's eyes when he left, and some time ago, Du He summoned them to discuss the affairs of these economic ministers, but most of them came from Zhang Cang's hands.

This is already obvious.

Zhang Cang was wanted to be helped up by His Royal Highness.

Originally, Zhang Cang didn't have an advantage, and he didn't even care about it, but with Li Si's paperwork, Zhang Cang directly overrode the rest of them, and looking at the chattering appearance of Feng Quji and the others, most of them had already known or guessed.

That's why I sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

If he really stood up at this time, not only would it have no effect, but he would also be completely hated by His Highness, and he was more likely to be targeted in the future, after thinking for a while, he sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to give up.

They don't stand a chance of winning.

When His Royal Highness took a fancy to the position of this Shaofu, the candidate for the Shaofu had already been decided.

Now it's just a formality.

Only he and Linghu Fan are serious.

Come to think of this.

Zhaoping closed his eyes directly, unwilling to say another word.

The other economic ministers, seeing Zhaoping like this, thought for a moment in their hearts, and quickly reacted, and they all smiled bitterly, no longer paying attention to the dispute between Ling Hu Fan and Zhang Cang.

Just when Linghu Fan's face turned pale.

Footsteps sounded again outside the hall.

Wei Sheng's voice came again, and this time another courtier sent documents.

It's the Imperial Doctor who is weak.

It's the pawn Yao Jia.

They also strongly recommended Zhang Cang as the imperial history.

When these documents were read out, Ling Hu Fan was already like ashes, he had already understood that everything had already been settled, and he had never had a chance.

He sat back down.

When he heard the recommendation of the imperial doctor, the pawn and other important ministers, a heated discussion broke out in the court, and now, even the ministers who couldn't really see the specific situation in front of them understood at this time.

The position of Shaofu is none other than Zhang Cang!
