"I cannot support a wise king."
Although some officials secretly said that the more idiotic the emperor is, the better. Strong work ability is not necessarily a good thing. If he continues to seize power and is mean and ungrateful, only a mediocre king is in the interest of all officials.
But ministers who are really in charge of political affairs all know how desperate it is to have an emperor who "why not eat minced meat".
No matter how hard you work and how many people you sacrifice, the results will be gone with just one word.
He is knowledgeable and talented, but also personable, humble to others, making people feel like spring breeze. He can take care of things when he should do it, and he can be taught humbly when he should be taught. Only such a person can be called a son of a dragon or a phoenix grandson!
Although as pavilion elders, they cannot reveal their personal preferences easily, but as long as it does not involve seizing the heir or secrets, they are happy to give more guidance to the humble grandson.
Xie Zhi stroked his beard and smiled: "You don't have to be like this on behalf of the Duke. This matter is just a casual mention by the ministers. Since you have said that you do not plan to refine the elixir for a long time, it is just out of curiosity, so the ministers can rest assured."
"I think so. It's normal for young people to be curious about this. When I was young, I was also curious about this Tao, but because of my father's advice, I didn't follow the heretic."
Zhao Xulin also said: "Dai Guogong is talented and reads a lot. When he sees it, he wants to practice it. It is indeed normal."
This episode has passed.
Cui Zhaoquan glanced around, then held his tea cup, but he couldn't help but secretly sigh: "As expected of the emperor's grandson, it only took half a month to influence the attitude of the cabinet."
"When I first joined the cabinet to observe politics, even if I used calligraphy and painting to do business and attracted a few adults to teach me, at that time, everyone was neutral and cold, and the teaching would inevitably be perfunctory."
"But what about now? In just half a month, Lord Dai has gained a change of heart from all of you."
Thinking about the attitude half a month ago and the attitude half a month later, there is a huge difference.
But this is not difficult to understand. For example, the three kings who have grown up and work in the court also came to the cabinet to observe the government. However, among the three kings, even the King of Shu with the best reputation seems to be gentle and polite, but he is humble. It's not natural. When I'm watching politics, I can't do all the big and small things patiently, but I don't want to do the things that petty officials do, feeling that I've lost my status.
Not to mention the King of Qi, Cui Zhaoquan is the Minister of the Ministry of War. Even though he is a second-ranked Jinshi, he is considered a rude person in the eyes of some civil servants because he has had many contacts with warriors. He didn't like doing trivial things and couldn't sit still, so his reputation among civil servants was even worse.
If he hadn't won the favor of the military attache group, he was brave and suppressed the two kings to the point where they could hardly breathe, and he was truly the first choice to seize the throne, he would have been secretly ridiculed long ago.
As for King Lu, he doesn’t leave a deep impression on people. He used to like to have fun, he had a cheerful temperament but never did anything outrageous, and he didn’t stand out when trouble came. He was very mediocre when observing politics in the cabinet. Naturally, the impressions of the cabinet elders on King Lu were generally.
Even if the advantages of these three people were concentrated in one person, they would still be far less outstanding than Dai Guogong.
"Yes, such a heavenly figure works conscientiously, makes no mistakes in his explanations, and never comes up with new ideas. Although he is the grandson of the emperor, he has a humble attitude and makes people feel like spring breeze. How can people not like him?"
"What on earth was I thinking that day in the southwest? Why would I want to sacrifice Duke Dai in exchange for a little bit of money? Such an outstanding young man, even if he is not the grandson of the emperor, will definitely become a pillar of the imperial court. Was I really obsessed at that time? Already?"
When I came back from the southwest, I never regretted making that decision. When I learned that Su Zi was the emperor's grandson, I was just afraid. But it wasn't until I saw that the emperor's grandson could have such influence in the cabinet for only half a month that I I really feel confused about what I did that day.
Can a person really change so much?
Cui Zhaoquan didn't believe that in just one year or so, people could go from ordinary to outstanding. The reason why they had different perceptions before and after, or maybe it was just because of the different time, place and identity.
"Fortunately, Duke Dai did not die in the southwest because of me. Otherwise, I might become Dazheng's sinner." At one moment, Cui Zhaoquan even had such an idea.
"Actually, it's just that I'm good-looking."
Su Ziji didn't know that Cui Zhaoquan was thinking so much. If he knew, he would say this objectively. At least half of the reason is that he is handsome.
Many people have the misunderstanding that handsome people are just pretty boys.
In fact, if you are a boss and a monarch, you are handsome and have a good demeanor. There is no problem in defeating not only a million soldiers, but also a hundred thousand soldiers. Many people will naturally be loyal +10!
Everyone drank hot tea, warmed their hands, and started today's work.
"Duke Daiguo, the zhezi is here." The eighth- and ninth-grade officials in the hall were waiting with their hands down. When they saw them all starting to work, they came up with the zhezi with smiles on their faces and put them on the case. They also wiped their bullet jackets and said hello, with a respectful attitude. .
Different from half a month ago, Su Ziji did not sit at the bottom to watch the Pavilion Master finish reviewing the excerpts, but was already sitting in the front. Although he did not have the right to give instructions, he was the one who classified the excerpts.
After reading the excerpts in advance, put the most important ones in one place, the generally important ones together, and the unimportant ones in one place. By classifying the three places, the three cabinet elders can deal with the important ones first, and save the unimportant ones for last. .
This kind of power seems very small, but it is actually very large. It is a sign of trust.
It is not fully confirmed this month and will not be given.
"Officials in Henan North County colluded with each other to exploit the people? Buying and selling officials? There is evidence, and it is placed in a generally important place."
"An auspicious sign was found in the waters of the Xijiang River in Xijiang Prefecture? A white divine turtle? Could it be man-made again? Put it in an unimportant place."
After Su Ziji read the two copies in turn, he thought of one thing. He lowered his eyes and saw half a red sandalwood shadow floating in his field of vision: "[The Way of Government] Level 14 (8550/14000)"
"For half a month, I have asked for advice every day, which basically hollowed out the knowledge of cabinet ministers. Now every time I ask for advice, I only give 10 points and no experience."
"The gold mines in the cabinet have been mined, and the emperor's patience is not good. He has been slow to move for half a month, and I'm afraid he won't be able to wait any longer. My mission is actually to create obstacles for the kings, to disgust them, to contain them, not It really made me study politics seriously.”
"Perhaps the more favorable the cabinet is, the more uncomfortable the emperor will feel."
"But to complete this task, we must also be reasonable and disciplined. Again, when you put water in a chamber pot, it feels good for a while, but the stench is difficult to clean up for life."
"So, King Shu, I'm sorry, I can only bite you." Su Ziji put a piece of paper to one side, and at the same time said in his heart: "I will stand firm on behalf of the Duke, go online today!"
After that, all the folds in front of me were basically classified, and small officials continued to bring the folds.
After a while, there will still be a pile of papers piled up here. After all, there are so many counties in the country, and all the papers must be gathered here first, and then sent to the emperor for review and classification. The number alone is amazing.
While waiting for the tea break, Xie Zhi slowly drank the tea and glanced at Dai Guogong with a solemn expression while looking at a piece of paper with his slightly smiling eyes.
"Duke Dai, what happened?"
