Cen Wenwen was originally a servant, but now if he is transferred to the position of secretary, his power and responsibilities will not change much. Therefore, he is calm and doesn't care too much. He just frowns and ponders the emperor's intention without saying a word. Seems to be aloof.
You can agree or disagree...
As the Duke of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yu had great achievements and qualifications. He was one of the few big shots in the court. Although he had no actual power in recent years, as a mainstay of the Qing Dynasty and a leader of the scholarly community, he had always been one of the best in the central government. The status of the big bosses became increasingly prominent, especially after Fang Xuanling became an official and Wei Zheng died.
He was naturally delighted with the position of Sikong. After all, this was the court's recognition of him.
The position of Crown Prince and Taibao is an unexpected blessing...
After all, the status of the prince is now more and more stable. It is almost a foregone conclusion that he will become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future. There are no variables. If he can become the prince's guardian today and help the prince ascend the throne as the emperor, then it is the merit of following the dragon. The Xiao family can bear this. Fu Ze decades.
Of course, if everything comes to nothing, I won’t be too disappointed.
Among the many transfers, only Liu Jie was the most excited...
Liu Jie felt that he had never encountered such a tormenting and uneasy moment in his life. He was afraid that someone would jump out and say "Liu Jie can't do it"...
That is to say, he is afraid that he will lose this opportunity that has fallen into his hands to become the prime minister, and he is even more afraid that he will not be able to help but fight against those who oppose him.
Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. Blocking a person's path to becoming a prime minister is just like killing a family. Either you die or I die!
…
During Liu Jie's suffering, the hall experienced silence for half a quarter of an hour.
After a long while, someone came out and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the candle shines thousands of miles away. I have no objections from the humble ministers. I will definitely obey your Majesty's will and serve the king with all my heart!"
The ministers' eyelids twitched again.
Only a shameless person like Fang Jun can say such flattering words... You sycophant!
Fang Jun ignored the strange glances around him and said plausibly: "Liu Sidao was born in a humble background and once went astray. However, he corrected his mistakes and returned to the right path. Since he became an official in the Tang Dynasty, he has outlined the whole system to consult the Holy Emperor Jiayou. He talked about it with the national scholars and the Tilang Temple. Qi, upright, honest and self-responsible, has always been a model for courtiers! Why is this? I met Zaofu, and he made great progress with each passing day. The British Lord selects the virtuous, regardless of rank. My emperor is broad-minded and has the power to swallow up the world. The wise and capable men are willing to drive, The splendor of the Tang Dynasty has flourished for thousands of years!"
Among the crowd, Jingzhao Yin and Ma Zhou's cheeks twitched and almost vomited...
How can you, Fang Er, have the nerve to say such flattering words?
Li Ji, Cen Wenwen, Li Daozong and others all looked at Fang Jun with contempt. When it comes to shamelessness, no one can compare with Fang Jun! However, despite being disdainful, I can't help but secretly admire. Although these words are all flattering words, they are actually meant to be a joke. They are a subtle admonishment to the emperor, you are almost done, don't be too harsh!
"Outline the whole area, consult with the Holy Saint Jiayou, talk about it with national scholars, and use the tools of the temple", is that what Liu Jie can afford?
It is clearly saying that Your Majesty, you have conquered mountains and rivers, and you are a great leader. We will listen to everything you say. Just like "meeting Zaofu, you can make a thousand miles with a day", and I am willing to follow you to create a prosperous age. However, you also have to understand the importance and cannot control the important affairs of the court. Just treat it like a child's play, do whatever you want...
Of course, the meaning of admonishment is really too thin, and the overwhelming element is flattery.
Liu Ji was almost moved to tears at this moment.
He naturally understood the meaning of Fang Jun's words, but he didn't care at all. He only knew that among the civil and military officials in the palace, only Fang Jun was willing to express his approval of the emperor's appointment and praised him very much. , although even Liu Ji himself blushed with such remarks...
But that's not important!
The important thing is Fang Jun's attitude. With Fang Jun's current connections and status in the court, once these words are spoken, it is equivalent to his faction completely agreeing with it.
Power and interests are the eternal theme of struggle between the government and the government.
But he never expected that Fang Jun, who had been with him up and down, far and near, and who didn't like him too much, could say a "fair" word at this time, and those who had always promised There are countless benefits and people who are trying to win over him all the time, but they stand aside indifferently, as if waiting to see his jokes.
Fang Er, a good man...
His Majesty Li Er sat behind the imperial case and looked at Fang Jun with a faint look.
He was really puzzled. This man looked thick-browed, big-eyed, and honest, but how could he say such flattering words so confidently and righteously?
He also had to admit that this boy did have the talent of a sycophant. If he had not been the emperor of the Holy Emperor, and if he had been replaced by a foolish emperor, this boy would have been a treacherous minister like Zhao Gao who mistook a deer for a horse and deceived the emperor...
Even the words of admonishment have to be hidden in a large piece of flattery. How can there be any appearance of an upright minister?
However, he was still very pleased with Fang Jun's statement.
A good minister must worry about the emperor's worries and think about what the emperor wants...
As expected, after Fang Jun expressed his position, Jingzhao Yin Ma Zhou also said: "What Fang Prince Consort said is true. Your Majesty is arbitrary and can illuminate thousands of miles. There is absolutely no objection to the appointment of minor ministers."
"I also second my opinion."
"Your Majesty is wise and I have no objection."
…
Li Ji left the office and said: "The ministers seconded the proposal. Later, the ministers ordered the officials and the ministers to go to the provinces and draw up official transfer orders, so that the newly appointed ministers can fulfill their duties as soon as possible, stabilize the government, and ensure smooth government affairs for the coming year. Be fully prepared for the Eastern March at the beginning of spring."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and smiled: "Let Mao Gong do it. I am very relieved."
"Here!"
Li Ji retreated.
His Majesty Li Er looked around at the ministers in the palace, especially at Fang Jun, and said: "Let's stop here for today. In a few days, at the court meeting, I will ask all the prime ministers and assistants to seek your opinions on the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department. I also hope that all of you, dear friends, can think carefully and offer your advice."
"Here!"
"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. I'll take your leave!"
…
All the ministers left with their own thoughts.
Fang Jun and Ma Zhou walked out of the hall side by side. Liu Jie came over, hugged Fang Jun and said with great emotion: "Erlang Gaoyi, I will remember it for five years!"
He was really moved.
When Cen Wenwen moved to Zhongshu Ling, the position of Shizhong was vacated. God knows how many people were watching! Even if the emperor prefers to be succeeded by himself, as a king, he should balance the interests of all parties, so it is difficult to say that he will insist on letting him be the official.
But it's different when Fang Jun stands up. With Fang Jun's current status and connections, at least Li Ji, Ma Zhou, Xiao Yu, Li Daozong and others will not express their opposition clearly, and Changsun Wuji and others who covet this position will People have to worry about whether they will force him, Liu Jie, to go to Fang Jun if they get involved...
Therefore, when Fang Jun stepped forward, a delicate balance was suddenly reached between all parties. He was not very sure that he could seize the position of servant and at the same time completely offend Liu Jie. No one could Don't dare to act rashly.
It can be said that it was precisely because Fang Jun stepped forward that the official position of the servant fell to him without any risk...
Fang Jun laughed, clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Liu Zhongcheng... now I have to change my name to Liu Shizhong. Liu Shizhong's ability is obvious to all. Your Majesty is very aware of the subtleties, knows people well, and is just pushing people along. I will never dare to be thanked by Liu Shizhong. I am the same as Liu Shizhong." Your Majesty's ministers should fulfill their loyal duties and share your Majesty's worries. They are all doing things for Your Majesty, so what difference does it make in what position?"
Liu Ji's eyelids twitched, and he cursed in his heart: You are speaking so righteously and selflessly now, do you think I don't know how hard you worked for the position of Minister of War? Only a ghost will believe your nonsense...
However, there was still a bright smile on his face: "Erlang's awakening really makes me ashamed! I won't bother you anymore. In two days, I will prepare a banquet and invite Erlang and Prince Bin to come over to the house to have a banquet and get drunk together!"
Ma Zhou hurriedly said: "Thank you very much, Liu Shizhong. I will definitely attend the appointment when I get the official title."
Fang Jun also said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Then I will be waiting for your name card."
Liu Jiezhi was so proud that he laughed, patted Fang Jun's shoulder affectionately, winked, and whispered: "Don't worry, Erlang, I know all about your ambition, and there will be consequences!"
After saying that, leave quickly.
Ma Zhou stood on the stone steps, looking at the back of Liu Ji as he left quickly, and chuckled: "Erlang is really good at planning. Liu Ji seems to be a lone minister, but behind him is the entire Yushitai. "
Fang Jun laughed, walked side by side with Ma Zhou, and whispered: "The one who knows me is Ma Zhou!"
No good, he will jump out to support Liu Jie?
He didn't have such a good relationship with Liu Jicai, so he had to repay something in return...
