Chapter 237: The lesser of two powers
"Your Majesty, Cai Shoufu's words are inappropriate, such an important position as Shangshu has always been a virtuous person, I think that Lord Mu is a good candidate, he has been conscientious over the years, not to belittle Lord Zhu, but compared to Lord Zhu, Lord Mu is obviously more qualified for this position, although compared to Lord Zhu, Lord Mu has a worse understanding of the Ministry of War, but it will not take a few days to understand the Ministry of War, the most important thing of the Ministry of War, if it is not a person, then in the end it is tens of thousands of people at dawn who will suffer, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice。 Hu Deyong knew it with affection, moved it with reason, and unceremoniously belittled Zhu Baiyun recommended by Cai Jin.
Although Zhu Baiyun has been in politics for many years, he has not made much achievements, this is a well-known thing, even if Cai Jin wants to refute, the other party can't list what special talents Zhu Baiyun has, not to mention that His Majesty will undoubtedly stand on his side in order to suppress Cai Jin, even if there is no stubble, His Majesty will not be able to watch a mediocre person sit in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War.
The terrible degree of a mediocre official endangers tens of thousands of people.
A seventh-grade petty official can be a disaster, and the impact of the second-grade officer is unimaginable.
Before Lin Ying could express his position, Cai Jin couldn't help it, the servant of the Ministry of Officials was gone, and he was gone, but the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War was absolutely not to be missed, he couldn't put Hu Deyong to death, but it didn't mean that he was afraid of the other party, Hu Deyong was simply openly provoking his bottom line, if he didn't give the other party a little color, then the other party would really think he was muddy.
"Hu Ge Lao, I don't think it may be so, who of you present doesn't know that the official secretary is clearly your junior, in order to push him to the position of the official secretary, Hu Ge must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"
"Master Mu has shown extraordinary talent in the Ministry of Officials, and has managed the Ministry in an orderly manner, but I don't know what Hu Ge Lao's nephew has done?"
"For Hu Ge Lao's sentence that such an important position as Shangshu has always been lived by virtuous people, I also deeply believe that with the talent of Master Mu, it should rise to the top, and Hu Ge Lao's nephew, shouldn't he abdicate and make way for Xian?"
"As for Lord Zhu, the reason why he did not show the same talent as Lord Mu before, this is actually very easy to explain, although Zuo Shichang is hateful, but I have to admit that he still has some talents, not like some people are generally mediocre, although there is still no big achievement, but the Ministry of War has been quite stable over the years, Lord Zhu is not in his position after all, he has a talent, but there is nowhere to show, this time the vacancy of the Ministry of War, for Lord Zhu, this can also be regarded as a test, if Lord Zhu is not qualified for the position of the Ministry of War, His Majesty can be dismissed in time。 ”
Cai Jin can be said to be a pearl of words, successfully attracted this fire to Hu Deyong's body, every word he just said was full of murderous intent, didn't you see that Hu Deyong's face was already covered with cold sweat?
If the other party doesn't deal with it properly, then his nephew's position as the secretary of the ministry will not be able to keep it.
This is called stealing chickens and rice.
And Cai Jin's solution, Gao Ming is Gao Ming, and the situation he told is basically true, Hu Deyong can't avoid it at all, although even if Mu Jian is promoted to take over as the secretary of the ministry, the ministry is still Hu Deyong's vassal, but this is enough to give the other party a headache.
After all, Mu Jiansheng is still an outsider after all, how can he use his own people.
Cai Jin's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, not only defusing Hu Deyong's offensive, but also putting the other party in a dilemma.
Besides, he also took a step back, if Zhu Baiyun is not angry, then His Majesty can be dismissed at any time, but this possibility is almost non-existent, as long as Zhu Baiyun can take over smoothly, then he has countless ways to help the other party sit in this position.
Zuo Shichang is not necessarily as he said, the six departments have a long history, and they have formed an inherent law of operation, and future generations only need to follow the rules to run steadily, in other words, as long as they don't die by themselves, then under normal circumstances, there will be no problems.
Hu Deyong's face was very gloomy, like an eggplant leaf beaten by frost.
"Cai Jin, don't spew blood!"
"Whether Hu Naiqi has talent or not, Your Majesty has his own judgment in his heart, and it is not your turn Cai Shoufu to point fingers here, and what we are talking about now is the candidate to replace the secretary of the Ministry of War, could it be that Cai Shoufu deliberately changed the topic like this, which is a manifestation of weakness?"
"As for whether Lord Zhu is qualified for the position of the secretary of the military department, it is actually very simple, I have an idea here, but I don't know if Cai Shoufu dares to fight?"
Hu Deyong sneered in his heart, how many brushes does Zhu Baiyun have, and everyone present is like a mirror.
Cai Jin's words, I'm afraid that even he can't deceive himself, right?
As for Cai Jin's murderous intentions, he can't help him, how many catties and taels does his nephew have, doesn't His Majesty know?
To be precise, His Majesty has always known that he has always chosen to open one eye and close one eye, after all, Hu Naiqi has the assistance of Mu Jiansheng, and Hu Naiqi should not be all mediocre, after all, Hu Naiqi also entered the court step by step through the imperial examination.
Therefore, this matter can be big or small, he only needs to continue to cause trouble, as long as it proves that Zhu Baiyun is not as good as Mu Jiansheng, then when Mu Jiansheng takes over the position of the secretary of the military department, isn't it logical?
As for Hu Naiqi's side, Hu Deyong will naturally re-appoint a trusted cronie to replace Mu Jiansheng at that time.
The civil and military officials had their own thoughts, and Zhu Baiyun, who originally felt that he was in the hands of victory, suddenly had a bad premonition, and he was full of resentment towards Hu Deyong, who was killed halfway.
On the other hand, Mu Jiansheng, when he first heard it, his eyes couldn't help but flash a ray of essence, if he could go further, who would want to be subservient?
What's more, he still succumbed to a person who was not as good as himself, although Mu Jiansheng was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he had always hidden it deep in his heart.
Lin Ying has long been surprised by the dispute between Cai Jin and Hu Deyong, and even for this situation, he still likes to see it, he chose to support Hu Deyong, that is only relatively speaking, Hu Deyong is also a big moth, but his harm is far less than Cai Jin.
As the saying goes, the lesser of two powers, is the lesser of two powers.
With Hu Deyong's checks and balances, Cai Jin can still be more restrained, if there is only one voice left above the court, then the other party's next step is not to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?
