The people of Hunan realized how valuable Cai Xianqing's help was to him, and finally made up their minds to find a good job for him in order to support each other in the future.
He took advantage of the time when he entered the palace to receive the title, saw Liu Zhennian, and said this personally: "I recently heard that Liu Gong was appointed to the throne, and he wanted to show off his talents. In this way, the talented people must be promoted, and the officials will be willing to do so. Recommend a person for the general. This person is a member of Ye Shilang's staff. His surname is Cai, and his twin names are Xianqing. He came to the capital with me. He is always with Master Ye and his conversation is extraordinary. Xiao Ke can ease the situation a little, that is, Jing This person’s advice. But because he is an actor and is registered in a lowly status, he cannot contribute to the country and has buried all his talents. It is a pity. I hope Liu Gong can help."
Liu Zhennian had always admired Ye Yongjia very much. Now that he heard that the people around him were not allowed to be promoted, he really wanted to help: "He is from Nanjing, right?"
"right."
"Is it possible to bring the register from Nanjing? This is unrealistic."
"They have checked it before: if we change the official registration, the emperor will issue an edict to forgive him, and turn the lowly into a good one."
Liu Zhennian pondered for a long time, frowned and said: "This is not difficult. It's just... I don't have any background, and I'm good at issuing edicts. I'm afraid it will cause uproar in the whole court."
"General Liu," before the Xiang people could answer, they saw a man coming out from behind the screen, it was Yan Wen, who bowed leisurely. "I have a plan."
"Say." Liu Zhennian was thinking dullly, and looking at his appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
"When Cai Xianqing came, he didn't mention his identity. He just wore simple clothes on weekdays, and few people suspected it. It would be better to take advantage of the opportunity to reward merits, let him enter the palace, give him a minor official in the Ministry of War, and then order Jie Wenwu to take over the order. Jie Bingbu Knowing Cai Xianqing's situation, I must forcefully declare that he has a lowly status and cannot be an official. However, the emperor's edict has been issued and cannot be easily withdrawn. If he is ordered to change his status at this time, no one can say anything."
Liu Zhennian was overjoyed, stood up and said with a smile: "Vice Prime Minister Yan is still capable! Tomorrow, in the name of meritorious service, we will summon the Cai actor into the palace!"
The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, Zhongshu was sent to the province.
"Ahem!" An old provincial minister sat in the east chamber and coughed twice violently.
"The boss has made a mistake again," Deputy Political Councilor Hong Lisan rested his head on the imperial chair and whispered to another colleague beside him, "Oh, I don't think I can stay here for a few more days."
The man, who was also Yan Wen's deputy in politics, was named Li Wenshou. After hearing this, he quickly looked at the people on both sides before replying calmly: "Have you decided on the new arrival?"
"It's settled, Mr. Yan said yesterday that his surname seems to be Niu, what is his name..."
"Master Liu is here!" A loud shout from outside the door interrupted their conversation.
"Forget it, forget it, let's talk about it another day." Hong Lisan sat up straightly.
Before Li Wenshou could say anything, Liu Zhennian had already walked in from the central hall and sat directly in front of the main seat. Everyone came to salute in a hurry. The old man walked slowly over with a cane.
"Everyone, sit down," Liu Zhennian said as he reached out and took out the name book from the cabinet. "I'm here just for the reward yesterday. I'm not satisfied yet, so I want to care about it."
"Is it fair to say yesterday's performance was fair?" He looked at Bo Zi intently.
"It's very true and fair." Everyone nodded and bowed, not daring to say anything more.
"Nonsense..." Liu Zhennian threw down the name list, "I think it's unfair!"
Li Shen and others turned pale, but Wei Wei nodded.
"Some people made great contributions to the proposal to establish the prime minister, but they were buried because they had no official positions. Think about it, how many people who have lived in Hunan have not been promoted! How many pillars have been lost by the country!" Liu Zhennian sighed as he pounded the table.
After Li Shen heard this, he knew that he already had a candidate, so he smiled and said: "Although the general said so, except for good princes, how can there be such a person."
"I heard from a person in Hunan that he heard about the appointment of a prime minister from a person named Cai Xianqing, so that he could turn the tide in time and ensure that the peace between our monarch and his subjects would not be interfered with by petty thieves."
"Where is this person now?"
"Now Ye Yong, the Minister of War, serves as a staff member in the Yamen Office."
"Then this person's meritorious service is really great, and Mr. Liu will definitely give him a big award!" Hong Lishen followed up with a flattering sentence.
Liu Zhennian frowned: "What are you talking about? I don't have much ability, I just need a little reward."
"Which errand in the Ministry of War is free?"
"The boss is missing."
"This responsibility is bigger... but it's okay to let him practice." Liu Zhennian thought for a moment and then decided happily, "Then, I will request an order from His Majesty in the name of Zhongshu Sheng. Everyone Do you all agree?"
Li Shen and others didn't think there was anything strange, and nodded: "We can only follow orders."
Liu Zhennian presented the memorial with a big seal, and it was read by the prince of the supervisory state first. Seeing that there was no problem, he handed it over to the emperor. He ordered Taiwei Guifu to draft the imperial edict and hand it to the young eunuch to read it at the Ministry of War.
At that time, Wen and Wu were taking a nap in the yamen before they got up. Suddenly, they were startled by a knock on the door. When they asked the secretary, they said it was the emperor who had issued an order to remove the officials who paid homage. He thought to himself: 'Everyone in my military department is doing a good job, so there is no reason to add a new person. Your Majesty, why is this happening? '
Confused, Jie Wenwu hurriedly put on his official uniform, straightened his fat body, and ran to open the door with great effort.
"Jie Wenwu, listen to the order!" The eunuch walked straight in without saying hello, glanced at him, and said.
"I obey your orders."
"The imperial edict said: Recently, there have been so many loyalties and traitors in the debate over the establishment of the prime minister that I can barely see clearly. Fortunately, one or two ministers took the country as a consideration and helped the Qing Dynasty and the people, and their intentions are commendable. Today, Cai Xianqing has made great contributions to the world, especially the ministers. I am the head of the Ministry of War, and I hope you will know."
"Accept the order." The little eunuch paused and said.
But Jie Wenwu didn't move at all, only his hands on the ground kept shaking, and there was no reply for a long time.
"What! You don't accept the order?" the young eunuch scolded.
Jie Wenwu slowly raised his head, but saw that his lips were purple: "Xiaguan... It's not that Xiaguan doesn't accept the emperor's order, it's just that... there is something unspeakable."
"Um?"
"To be honest, Cai Xianqing is an actor. He belongs to a lowly family, so how can he be granted an official position? Even if the court wants to reward talents, it cannot be so negligent. It violates the system..." Jie Wenwu wiped his forehead. I sweated so much that my sleeves were soaked.
"But this is the emperor's destiny, how can I take it back?" The little eunuch also looked a little nervous, "I don't care about this, our family can't be the master... You should accept the order first."
Jie Wenwu had no choice but to grit his teeth, take the edict, place it on the table, and kowtow three times.
"Although I have received the order, I cannot just ask Cai Xianqing to come over and run an errand," Jie Wenwu said to the young eunuch again, "Go and report to the Holy One quickly and come up with an idea... I can't delay here for too long, tens of millions, millions! "
