"Master Chief Assistant, Master Chief Assistant, stay!"
Sun Yunshan, Chief of Personnel of the Imperial Cabinet, walked out of the Imperial Hotel, quickened his pace and quickly called out to Xie Jianyang, the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, who was about to get on the bus.
The chief minister of the cabinet, who was over fifty years old, could not see much gray hair on his head. He turned his head and said calmly: "Get in the car and talk."
The car starts.
"Master Chief Assistant!" Sun Yunshan said with a serious expression: "The emperor directly bypassed personnel and appointed the chief financial officer, and he appointed a seventeen-year-old girl. This is too..."
It was hard to say excessive words, so Sun Yunshan took a deep breath: "Master Chief Assistant, although there is only one word difference between princess and princess, the influence is vastly different between a place and a country. Naming Su Yuxi as a princess is already a big difference. It can bring many benefits to the royalist party, and now she is asked to report on the important position of finance minister. Not to mention how influential it is, countries around the world will also laugh at us!"
"It's a joke that our huge Xuanqing Empire doesn't even have a single capable person. A seventeen-year-old girl needs to be in charge of a country's finances!"
Sun Yunshan turned to look at Xie Jianyang, who narrowed his eyes slightly: "Once the emperor cuts this off, the balance that has been maintained for so long will definitely be broken... Mr. Chief Assistant, please say something."
"Calm down." Xie Jianyang said leisurely: "If you don't consider her age and her status as the leader of the Royalist Party, do you think she is qualified for the position of Chief Financial Officer?"
Sun Yunshan pondered for a moment and then said: "To be able to manage the huge northern border in an orderly manner, and to have a GDP ranking among the top five in the country, her personal abilities are naturally quite outstanding. Although the finances of a place and a country cannot be compared, with her ability , she will be able to handle it easily after being familiar with it for a period of time...She has the ability to fill this position."
"But once she is qualified, the power of the princess and the chief financial officer will raise her prestige to a very high level. After finally achieving the current status of the cabinet, how can it return to the feudal era of the imperial system?"
"Your Excellency, you must use your 'right of denial' tomorrow to reject the emperor's decree... In order to prevent the emperor from losing face, you can agree to his decree to confer Su Yuxi as the 'Princess of Chang'an'. "
Xie Jianyang crossed his hands between his legs and asked calmly: "How many years has it been since your Majesty issued an appointment decree?"
"ten years."
"Then do you think the first personnel appointment order in ten years can be dismissed by the right to refute it?" Although we have the greatest influence in the cabinet, can we get the two-thirds vote?"
"Why not? We..." Sun Yunshan paused: "Master Chief Assistant, do you mean that some of us will not vote for this?"
"Um."
"Damn King Chang'an, when did you bribe him?" Sun Yunshan slapped his thigh, his words full of displeasure.
"It may not be that I was bribed." Xie Jianyang said calmly: "Maybe it's just that I have no choice temporarily... The situation has become like this, and you also have a share of responsibility."
Xie Jianyang turned his head and glanced at Sun Yunshan: "It has been three months since Li Jinyan retired at the right age. You haven't decided on the new chief financial officer in three months. You have to shoulder this responsibility."
"Your Majesty the First Assistant taught you a lesson." Sun Yunshan quickly lowered his head.
Xie Jianyang snorted coldly: "You want to maximize your interests, so you keep hanging on... Next time, you can resign."
"No way." It was very warm inside the car, but cold sweat broke out on Sun Yunshan's forehead: "Sir, since the power of denial is useless, what then?"
"Although it may be useless, it will still be used in the morning tomorrow to express the cabinet's attitude towards this decree."
"What if I fail?"
"Minimize the losses." Xie Jianyang said expressionlessly: "Since His Majesty has promoted her to the position of Chief Financial Officer, it is fitting that the problem of underpayment or non-payment of local taxes in recent years will be left to her to deal with."
Those who can enter the cabinet are all talented people. Sun Yunshan immediately understood the meaning of the chief minister after learning about Xie Jianyang.
"If she handles it well, then the local aristocratic families, princes and dukes will be completely hostile to her and the royalists; if she doesn't handle it well, it will give the public the perception that the prince is shielding the prince, attracting countless infamy!"
"It's hard to please both ends. This is a clever plan by the chief minister." Sun Yunshan flattered him a little: "The emperor has not dealt with state affairs for a long time, and now he has personally pushed King Chang'an into such an embarrassing situation. The establishment of a constitutional monarch will definitely... "
"Be careful!"
Xie Jianyang whispered and turned to look out the window at the bustling night scene of the imperial capital.
'Your Majesty, does he really not know that this decree will bring such consequences? '
······
royal palace.
"Are you not full at the banquet? Eat more here. It's all made by Jingyun himself."
Emperor Xuan looked at Su Yuxi with a kind smile: "Here, we are a family, no need to be restrained."
"Thank you, uncle." Su Yuxi thanked him and took a small piece of cabbage.
If she eats too much at night, she will easily gain weight. She doesn’t want to become a little chubby. How could her brother like that?
As both women, Su Jingyun immediately understood Su Yuxi's thoughts. Fortunately, she didn't do much, otherwise there would be leftovers.
"Yu Xi." After chatting for a while, Emperor Xuan suddenly said: "You won't blame me for secretly adding a decree to let you be the chief financial officer, right?"
Looking at Su Yuxi, Emperor Xuan was still smiling... In this way, Chang'an Kingdom could only protect the imperial family more closely.
The Finance Minister's management of the imperial finances and the handling of taxation are bound to offend both the cabinet and the local factions.
Although there is a third way to 'no longer lead the royalist party and go out independently', once this is done, the image of Chang'an State that has been steadfastly safeguarding the imperial family will collapse in an instant, and then there will be no public opinion. The offensive slandered the Chang'an Kingdom for its ambitions, and made the people think that the Chang'an Kingdom had long been united with the northern monsters, so there was peace in the north.
At that time, both the cabinet and local forces would make trouble for the Chang'an country, because the land in the north was too rich. If the Chang'an country hadn't been powerful, who wouldn't want a share of the pie?
At that time, the imperial family will be able to reap the benefits and expand the centralization of power!
Based on this - Chang'an country has no choice but to continue to 'protect the emperor', so as not to be surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Emperor Xuan leaned back in his chair. King Chang'an... Even if his uncle understood my intention, he could only pretend not to understand!
If he wants to ensure the safety of Chang'an, he can only choose to continue to lead the royalist party!
"No, I would also like to thank my uncle for his important mission. This will give us more confidence to confront the cabinet." Su Yuxi said with a smile.
"Although there was no such decree in the plan we discussed at the beginning, Your Majesty, you issued it very well." Su Jingyun also praised her husband: "The cabinet must be in chaos now."
Emperor Xuan said "Yeah". Although Su Yuxi had outstanding abilities, he was not very sensitive to politics after all. He would not think so much and would only think this was a good thing.
"Uncle, what if the cabinet uses the 'right to refute' tomorrow?" Su Yuxi asked her worries.
"I have my own solution for this matter."
······
After leaving the palace and returning to his room in Chang'an Building, Su Yuxi immediately sent a video invitation to his brother.
Got connected quickly.
"Brother, we were stabbed in the back!"
